The Meaning of Life




I am always curious about what are my goals in my life.To become a successful engineer?No,I even don't like to be a engineer..To earn my first one million dollars before the age of 30?No,it is so far from me.Then,what are the goals I want?Honestly,I also don't know what I actually want.I also always curious about what are the meaning of my life.To be happy everyday?Well,I wish too.Writting this blog,doing homeworks everyday,come to NUS study are not also what I want,just because I am forced to do so.Yes,I would like use the word--'force' to describe the meaning of my life.



When I was a child,I am always complained and asked myself why my mother always 'forced' me to study and get a good result?I felt so preesure to study and study is not fun at all for me.My result wasn't very good when I was in primary school and I even don't worried at all.When I come to High School Muar,my secondary school,I realised that I should be serious in my study as my classmates all were so hardworking to get 'A' in all papers.I felt so pressure during that time.



After some years of striking,I got the paid of my hardwork.I done quite well in my exam.When I had finished my 'N' level,I needed to choose to go to arts stream or science stream to continue my 'O' level.Here came the time I needed to make a decision that will affect my future life.My mother gave me the freedom to make my own decision,but she keeped remain me that doctor and engineer can earn more money.Lol,I knew what her mean..She actually want me to go science stream and become a doctor or engineer one day.So,again,I was 'forced' to go to the science stream.



When I was in form 5,my life become very boring.Everyday come back from school then do homework,after that go for tuition class,then do revision by myself.It was so meaningless!But I had no choice,I need to strike for the best,to make myself to stand up among the best.



Now,I am in NUS now,one of the best university in the world.But I also was 'forced' to come here by my mother.I am 'forced' to take engineering(actually my greatest interest is design),I am 'forced' to take the EG1471 english module(because I had failed my QET),I am 'forced' to write this blog...It sounds like the meaning of my life is so negative but it is true.I need to face the reality,let pressure be my 'friend'..Thats how I begin my route of EG1471...

Thanks for an intimate look at your goals, including the reason (or lack thereof) for you in attending NUS.

This is highly detailed. I reallyappreciate your effort!

Great photo---too!

A good guy. You made me surprise ^^ I just wonder why you didn't choose Design instead of Engine. Sometimes, we should try to change the destiny.

Hi Wee,
You need to understand that pressure is part of life if you want to be successful in life. Without any pressure,we would not have a goal that need to be achieved in life. For example, when I came to NUS, I didn't feel any pressure and I was enjoying my life here(let's just say that I did it over the limits) and I basically scored badly in all my exams. Now,I am under excessive pressure on getting a decent result in this semester. So, I feel pressure is indeed important in life.
