深重的考虑
I know I shouldn't be doing this online but... what da heck 
I've been seriously lost and confused with what I want to do with my life. I guess I've gotten to the point of life where I am at the crossroads with what to do with the rest of my life. I've never been enthusiastic about life and everything around me. I don't have a hobby, I don't even have things that I like or even things that I prefer. If you ask me, I'd say I'm an empty soul maybe that's why I can easily adapt and catch on to things because I am empty. Ever since last year during my practicum, I have been already contemplating on what my next step will be. I had never even thought of working in Malaysia and was always aiming to work in Singapore. However, due to some personal reasons that I've always regretted about. I came back to Kuching to do my practicum and after that I was stuck here. I tried applying for jobs in KL and Penang but have not heard any reply so far. I've sent alot of resumes to alot of local companies but none have replied. I guess I was taken aback or felt set back and disappointed.
When my convocation which was supposed to be in April got delayed until October, I made my mind to quit my job and seek out a new job over in Singapore. I didn't plan on when to go because I felt like I should relax myself first before putting myself into a brand new environment. I wasn't ready. During this period, I tried getting into a relationship which I was doom to fail. I guess I was just too single-minded and naive. The girl I liked and was going after was frequently hanging out with another guy. I asked whether he was her bf but she told me no and he was chasing her as I am. They've been going out for some time as I saw quite a number of pics with them holding hands or hugging each other. I was disheartened and decimated so I confronted the situation and got myself an answer that I knew I'd regret getting but at least it was enlightening. Although the feeling was brief, I got scarred pretty badly. Sidetracked....
I've been pretty stressed and annoyed by the fact of my friends being so damn annoying ever since I've quit my job. They've been non-stop asking me why am I not working or when are you gonna find a job or a lot of questions wanting me to get a job. I came to the point that I had to tell them off for bugging me with all those damn question. But some of them still keep asking me the question. I know you guys care but can you all stop asking those damn question for just a few weeks. I just need to relax and breathe! My mum gave me a time limit of 1 month to get myself a job but I'm way over the dateline because I still can't find it in me to get a job.
I went to Singapore for 6 days to relax and feel out the environment, it was fun and exciting. However, ever since I got back from Singapore, the questioning intensified. When are you going to Singapore? Why are you still here? Argh~~~~~~~~ Sometimes I wish I was back in UUM and during midnight when everyone was asleep, I'd walk around the hostel smoking and clearing my head. The environment is very quiet and good for clearing my head. The air is refreshing as well despite the stench of bird shit all over my hostel grounds. A few days after Singapore, I went to Kampung Assum in Borneo Highlands hoping to relax and enjoy the scenery. Too bad I end up spending the days over there celebrating the birthday of my friend's father and the re-dedication of their kampung's chapel. I drank, I danced, I smoked, I made friends and I got drunk. My body felt sore all over after that.... Haha, not quite the type of relaxation I was hoping for but it was fun nonetheless.
After I got back from Borneo Highland, the questions came again but at a smaller scale. Guess my friends knew better than to plague me with those questions again and again. I made a rush decision and contacted my friend in Singapore and asking whether I could stay over at his place while I job hunt. I never decided on the date of when I was going over. At first, I rushed into thinking 8 May, 1 day just after the polling day in Singapore. But I felt so damn uncertain then I put it off until 15 May. I was still thinking and thinking and undecided as I am. I put it off again. I am now thinking of going over on 20 May but then today I got an offer from UUM to pursue PhD. I've been thinking and thinking ever since I got the offer letter. Some of my friends gave constructive advice while some were the type that you tell them you're thinking about this then they fully support this then when you tell them about something else and they support something else. I know you all support me in whatever I do. I am in need of advice or at least some opinions or views not just blatant support on whatever I say.
I've considered the 2 options I have at the moment, to pursue my studies or just go get a job. If I pursue my studies, I'll be taking up 2 - 5 years and will be bearing a cost of roughly RM6000 per semester including hostel and living expenses that is if my research proposal is accepted. 2nd option, go for a job hunt in Singapore and the future is uncertain. Don't know where my life will lead to if I go Singapore as I have no plans for the future. I'd think working for a few years and if luck is on my side, I'll get a job that allows me to travel and work at the same time. That's what I've been aiming for an ideal job.
I'm tempted to take up the offer of continuing my studies at PhD level because this is a once in a life time chance which many would just do it if were in my position. However, the expenses and pressure to excel is what I'm worried about. I don't want to burden my mum anymore than she is with my brother's education fees. I think I know what decision I will make. Its just that I feel like I'm giving up a damn good chance to excel personally and in a broader sense. Getting a doctorate has always been one of my aims in life but not at such an early stage. It came too sudden and too fast. Still feeling undecided and confused.
