Life is so easy, it's meaningless.

well i could recommend, use the holiday wisely, since you cant work, go out with your friends, or something?
or the other wat, use the holiday to get a good rest. -
My opinion of you have dropped further. What the Tao Suan needed is some comfort and ideas on how to help her, NOT more trampling on the situation. If you are invoking fun and light-heartedness, please do it with more tact.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:Your life is so good, dun have to earn money yourself. Somemore, you are a gal, if money not enough, can always open legs wide wide and got money come in.
You read this?? -
Don't worry abt not gaining the adequate working experience or exposure...My very first job came only after graduation from uni. I didn't feel that there was much difference compared to my peers who had worked temps during their vacation. Your work performance is still very much dependent on your adaptability and attitude.
Life is not easy, young lady. There is so much you can do with the time you have now, pls treasure and use it wisely. -
Good call. You can ask ANYBODY who has dated at this age and where it got them. Though I have an old class mate couples who dated since aged 15 and are now happily married... but nvm dat.Originally posted by suss.adele:wah lao.
a bf is the last thing i need now man.

have you tried convincing your dad that working is not for the money, but for working experience as well? it will look good on your resume when you graduate and start job-searching.

By the way u talk, your obviously still immature, on the brink of perhaps a little maturity..
instead of asking stupid questions, do reflect on ur life.
otherwise ur gonna grow up to be another pretty hus*y waitin to snag a rich guy and be a boring pretty vase with nothing to do in life but breed like a cow.
I am from about the same environment as u are, but ive my own goals and my own issues that i search and question for an answer everyday. no ones life is easy unless they're in denial and run away from problems to make themselves feel free. -
u are lagi fortunate.
most of my frens including me come from a not-so-well-to-do family.
they have to take up a few jobs so that they could complete their diploma.
I think if they were you, they would feel lagi happy.
No money vexed.
Got money also vexed.
Yong ren zi rao.
So ur dad dun intend to let u work even when u have completed ur studies?
I have a fren who comes from a rich family..
she dun have to worry about money, but she gives tuition. And on top of that, she gives her mum allowance every month. Like you, her dad dun want her to work. He wants her to get a PHD. She is about to complete her diploma course.
Sometimes, you have to fight for wat you want, wat u think is right.
Tell ur dad that u dun need the money, but u need to be independent. It's not the money you are after, but the process of learning and the things that u will learn from the working experience, even if it's just a vacation job.
If he dun let u go out and learn, u will face surely face some difficulties in future. He should be contented that you are sensible.

yes i am immature. i know that fairly well, that's why i want to do smth about it. if i wanted to be a "pretty hussy...snag rich husband...boring pretty vase... breed like a cow", i wouldn't have even posted this thread in the first place.Originally posted by Vindictiv3:By the way u talk, your obviously still immature, on the brink of perhaps a little maturity..

You may be right. But why do you think so?Originally posted by suss.adele:wah lao.

Suss.Adele,
Ignore the trolls here. What I suggest you could do, is pick up a new hobby that is not too time consuming.
It's sensible of you at this age to want to try out part-time, and your Dad should be glad to know that you have such an amiable mindset towards work. I believe he thinks that you have a while to go, and that's why he thinks you should just enjoy your holidays.
It's up to you. There's not much break time left anyway, and so why not just hang easy, and chill till the term begins? If you're really bored, you could go organise bake sales or something of that sort. -

learn a sport. i recommend climbing and boxing.Originally posted by suss.adele:I'm 16.
Having my post-O'level holidays now; not working.
I come from a family of 5- 2 older bros and I'm the youngest girl. Sometimes I think things come too easily for me. It's like, I want what, I get what.
I don't need a job 'cos my Dad isn't keen on the idea. Last year I tried to get a job but he said "I'll pay you double of what you'll be getting there".
The thing is... Whenever I see my friends working (most of them are), I feel quite useless. I mean, they have that ability to earn their own $ and don't have to depend on parents, and most of them come from families that aren't as blessed, and maybe facing financial difficulties, but they are still able to overcome all this, including the stress etc! And me? I'm their age, good family/environment/no problems but I feel like I'm not as capable as them.
Sometimes I wonder what's the meaning of life. It's like so pointless. I feel like the people around me have something to live for. They wake up in the morning and have to work/go for a meeting/plan a presentation etc. But me? I wake up in the morning, sit up on my bed and think, "What should I do today?" Shopping? Did that yesterday. Go for some fine dining? Did that yesterday too (you get what I mean).
All these was fun at first but as the days pass the novelty of it all wears off. I feel like a sloth, I lack the drive.
What are my goals...
My ambitions...
I feel rather useless...

develop a passion for something and try to perfect it

Try Diving Instead ? Take weeks or a Month for Open water Diver Cert... than later would be Advanced Open Water...
Diving is Interesting...
But Unless your Parents object you from going tioman or Pulau Au like me -
hmmm... don't u have ur goals already?Originally posted by suss.adele:still, thx for the reaffirmation that i need my own goals etc. i guess i lack that severely.
u said u were planning to go into fashion design right?
i m not sure if learning french will aid you in this aspect, but learning the illustration techniques, art styles, and how 2 draw definately helps... -
french is good, but since you are planning to go into fashion design, than bear in mind that as a fashion designer, it's best to have unique ideas and creativity so that your uniqueness brings you out among the many fasion designers out there in the market.Originally posted by suss.adele:i was thinking french. cos i am plannin to do fashion design.
i know it's abit cliche
if you are thinking of learning french, it's also a good language, but often you will not be able to practise speaking in that language.
being a designer, you have to expose yourself to newer ideas and environment so as to sitmulate your brain to think of new ideas to come out with new designs, so if you want to learn, maybe just learn basic to advance stage of french language classes is enough for you. than go pick up other languages and look at other environment to increase your creativity.
one question 
why are you so sensible at such a young age?
i'm personally quite surprise to see a young kid these days to be sensible, but not to the extent of this level of sensibility like yours - wanting to work towards independence, which is not what kids these days want. -
Learn how to dance...
Social dancing~!!

You are only 16. There's going to be a whole life of work, work and more work ahead of you. Treasure the spare time u have now, because u ain't going to a lot of it next time.Originally posted by suss.adele:I'm 16.

Of course, a relationship at your age hardly leads to marriage. But it's all about the good times and memories, and hoping they add up more than the sad ones.Originally posted by suss.adele:as much as i wish it be... relationships at my age have a like 15% chance of working out anyway. rather save myself from all that heartache....
