i think i must be the slackest person i know. most of my peers have already started working (for a month or two) or are gonna start soon, but here i am still slacking like there's no tomorrow hahaha. but you know, the feeling of being able to hang out till late on a sunday night and not feel stressed by any duties or responsibilities is too shiok to trade for otherwise.... for now that is.

but that's not the only reason. i've been looking at jobs' websites and trust me, if i want to start work now, i can. there are so many job openings out there for graduates and i have already shortlisted a few. the issue is however, finding a job that i have the passion for. the other day my mom was asking me again, as she does perodically, if i have found any job. i told her (nicely of course), "don't ask me if i have found a job, ask me if i have found my passion." because jobs are relatively easy to find these days, but how many people have truly found their passion in life?

of course we can go into the whole debate about passion vs. money but i'm not going there. money to me is secondary, i want a work-life balance and i want to be able to do something that i feel for and get the satisfaction out of. so instead of jumping into any job i see straight away, i'm figuring out what exactly i wanna do with my life, where i want to be headed. i'm talking to people, reading up and at the same time still looking out for job openings. but as a good friend kindly reminded me, i shouldn't let this be an excuse not to start work. haha. perhaps what i need is to experiment also, since it's quite sad that at 24 years of age i still have no idea where i'm headed. i know perhaps it's a tad late to start only now, but better now than never eh?

in other news, it's CONVOCATION (or graduation ceremony for the uninitiated) tomorrow and i'm psyched :D time to take many pictures and throw my mortar board and for my parents to feel proud of me and last time to see the cohort in the same place; and time to get all emotional and nostalgic again.
