很难过

又到心情低落的时刻.....阅完整份《海峡时报》的征聘版,我竟然没有资格胜任任何一则征聘启示版中所要求的职位。我忽然发现自己是这么的没有市场价值,只觉得前途茫然!
其实我应该在这里多写写令人振奋或是愉快的事好让朋友阅读时不会乏味,然而我最近真的很消极,写不出令人鼓舞和乐观的东西。
我还没有冲动得做出一些朋友都认为我不应该做的事----向教育部再度递上辞职信。父母和妹妹都看得出我每天早上要去学校前的‘死人’脸,我不懂得掩饰我的心情和想法,难过就是难过,在亲人面前还有什么要掩饰的!
我的意志也开始很消沉,幸好我还不至于患上忧郁症。令我十分意外的是爸爸竟然鼓励我去参加什么红娘组织!可能他以为我要是找到了男人,我就不会这么沮丧。打从我长大成人,也只有老妈会催促我找男朋友,想不到如今老爸也来这一套!我还没等他说完,便掉头往厨房走,连答应也懒得吭。
我想有一天我会对两老说,请别再劝我找终身伴侣,因为我已经放弃,况且都快39了,谁还会对我有兴趣,我也不再报任何希望。我只想要逃离教学,逃离新加坡的生活,逃离这个‘排斥’单身主义的国度。还是美国人好,不会理会我是不是老姑婆,嫁不嫁的问题,而是把我当正常人来看待。悔不当初当时在美国,为什么不积极找份工并且继续呆在那里。那么我也就不会像现在一样,写着博客时,心里还挂着那叠未改的作文。错失良机也只能怪自己没有远见,算不到自己竟然那么不堪一击,无法调试自己来适应3年后回新的教学生涯。我好悲呀......

Motivation deficiency

It was not so bad that i could not have time to write blog eversince i returned to hometown. The motivation and enthusiasm to do anything seemed to have vanquished the moment i stepped back into the tropical soils. I have not jogged for almost 2 months since i came back, with the excuses of hot humid weather and that the scenery had changed at the back of my mind. I have since turned back to what i was--lethargic and lack of initiation before i left for U.S. because i was never truly happy and satisfied living in Singapore.

Sometimes i even wonder if i was a true Singaporean for the fact that i always have this 'look-down' notion in everything from policies to livelihood eversince i was mature enough to judge this society. Presently, this 'notion' is even more eminent now that i have returned to the same old working style of teaching in the neighbourhood primary school again. Working long hours in the school under MOE system is not a real problem to me since i am single( the society deemed this to be fit for singles!). It is the lack of freedom to teach and say that irks me; it is the 'obedience' of Singaporeans that is prominent in the education line that crushes me; it is my deficiency of courage at getting out immediately of this system that i possess now which dampens my spirit everyday.

I do not know exactly what i should be seeking in my career path and that writing CVs seemed to be the correct way to change my viewpoints. Besides, this is the only way i know and running away seems to be innate in my traits for all these years. I do not perhaps have another 39 years and am sick of being obedient, have i...... americanised?
