Oh damn, the title reminds me of that #FAIL Britney Spears movie years ago, but that’s just that.
Now that I’m finally done with my friggin’ degree / pt-time studies, I thought that it’s a good time for me to get on with my life and pursue some dreams. Financial liabilities such as loans/repayments aside, making that ‘right’ move seems to be harder than it is.
Time is somewhat on my side, but that is only till Ngee Ann Polytechnic finally releases my last pay. Yes, they are still holding my pay because of some ‘credit cycle’ hence they cannot process my pay earlier. Which is bullcrap, since by MOM regulations, they need to either pay me on my last day of service or within a week of my last day of service. it is beyond that, and I’m only giving them till 28Feb because my ex-manager said so, hence I’m trusting her word. If by then I do not get my payment, I’m lodging a complaint against them.
It’s ridiculous. I extended my service till 12th Feb instead of leaving on 7th Feb because of the lack of manpower during CNY holiday, and BECAUSE OF THIS, when everyone else got their pay before CNY on 8th Feb, I have to suck my own thumb and literally starve till god-know-when my pay comes. I have to beg, borrow money to pay bills, study loan payment,etc. So what lesson have I learnt?
Don’t be a public servant.
if you don’t know the fine print tagged to a job or in this instance, a job in public sector.. Don’t agree to anything to ‘help things out’.
This is called, “Nice guys finish last.”

So because of the financial burden I’m facing once again, I am desperately seeking my next employment but at the same time, torn between waiting for the job I want the most, the next job or just a job that pays well enough. I’m sick of working just to put food on the table or just having enough to pay the bills. I am dying to shine and make a mark for myself or prove myself or just DO SOME FUCKING SHIT with my life. I hate that money is such a big fucking factor in deciding my career move. It shouldn’t have to be, IF MY LAST FRIGGIN’ PAY CAME IN ON FRAKKEN TIME.
I need to thrive and I can’t. It’s killing me.
I can’t even pursue what I love and want.
I want to be able to LIVE.
