My Future?

^ this is not what i want.

recently i've been thinking about the future. as in what will i be doing few yrs down the road provided that im still not dead yet. haha. ok this is what i thought of. after i've graduate from SP i'll be going to NS for 2 yrs n after that i'll most probably go out to work. maybe i'll be working in a shipyard as a supervisor or maybe some other occupation? who knows. n i've figured it out that university isnt for me. becos i dont think my parants have the financial ability to send me to a local university. let alone overseas. i dont want to burden them any further also. so the only choice left for me is to work. unless i work n save up the $$ to go to university. i dont know..
so i've been thinking. am i going to slog n receive a pathetic pay for the rest of my life? i cant imagine that man. working for the next 40 yrs? omg. can die u know! haha. hmm let's say maybe im lucky enough n i get promotions. but wouldnt that just simply means that i'll have heavier responsibilities which translates into more work for me to do? so what if i got higher pay. i'll be too busy to spend the $$! n i'll have less time to spend with my family members n to do what i want. zzz..
i think life is more than just getting up early in the morning for work, get stuck in the traffic jam or board a crowded bus/mrt when going to work, come home feeling damn tired after work n then get ready for the next working day again. there's no life at all man. furthermore the standard of living is getting higher n higher. how hard working can one be? can one's hard work match with the rapid increase of the standard of living? there must be something that can break this 'vicious cycle'.
wouldnt it be great if one can choose what he/she wants to do on a monday morning? wouldnt it be great if one can spend quality time with his/her family members? wouldnt it be great if one can be financially free n break away from the 'rat race'? unless u r those kind of people who get excited going to work on a monday morning n enjoys slogging for the next 40 yrs.
anyway enough of my thoughts. time to get back to reality. i got back my thermodynamics n instrumentation results this week. i did well for thermodynamics but could have score higher if not for some careless mistakes. n sigh.. i did badly for my instrumentation becos my answer wasnt detailed n specific enough even though it's the right answer. it's ok. at least i know where i got wrong n i shall improve on it.
had c-programming test on thursday. to be specific it's actually c++ programming. haha. overall my program works. just that there's some part that didnt work well. n some part of the programming is wrong. lol. anyway the test is over. i did study for it n i hope i can get at least a B+. :)
ok i shall stop here now. time for me to do my projects n reports. bye!
