Induction day 4

Porsche

It has been a very interesting day today as there are 2 managers who came down to Ngee Ann to talk about how they started off their life with nothing to success. One was about a trading business where they supplies cables for LED lighting for big towers and many materials trading here and there in the marine chain. Another will be the Porsche company's general manager, Francis Lee, who come to tell us that he only holds a PSLE cert. That's all he has because in the past, he wasn't someone who is lucky like us, he says he was an orphan at the age of 7 and started working at 9 and at 13, he's a cleaner for a motorcar workshop, his tasks are simple, just dismantling and wiping clean the engines what-so-ever that is in the car. I'm surprised by that history of his, because I believe that he must have been having a hard time learning because I can never imagine myself working in a motorcar workshop at such a young age. Furthermore, being able to be successful at the age of 35. In such a short time, he has jumped from a cleaner to a general manager due to his experiences as well as knowledge in the cars. His education level might be not as high as those graduated from the NEA, however his knowledge in car mechanism is something that makes him more outstanding than the others, he said. I respect him as a human for being able to persevere through the down time in his life and enduring and pushing on to make a better life after his national service.

Tomorrow will be an empty day I believe... Nothing much has been going on and I'm honestly not looking forward to studying 4 months straight like a living hell. I'm willing to sacrifice my Saturdays, however, will they be useful when I'm studying all by myself with no one to impress? Well, I've no knowledge in cars so I guess I better do well in my studies instead so I have a valid reason to why I should get a job, hahaha! The song, 背叛 , can only sing the words out of my heart at this moment. I officially asked her if I can still continue chasing her instead of beating around the bush. Her answer is "No.". I definitely respect that answer as it is an honest reply, though a brutal one... But that's why I chose her in the first place. I have to distance myself from her so as to not be in love with her once more like how I once avoided her for a few months but still back to square one when we became active in conversation together. I did promised her that I will try not to distant myself too much and she can poke me if I am leaving too far, so she can still pull me back before it's all too late. I'll never regret having her as a friend, we always share stories about our personal lives we don't share with just anyone. Hopefully, we are able to stay as super duper close friends where I'm second to only your secondary school besties. :> selfish aren't I? Thank you for always being there for me whenever I feel the need to voice something out. Without you to confide in to, I wouldn't have make it this far in life because of all the stress building up along our studying years as well as nearing to our future of making our major choices in life depending on which pave we will be heading. We might not be going on a path why we will meet in the future, however I will still appreciate if we are able to stay close even till the day we are grandparents or great grandparents.
