Life, is yours smooth?
-
Is your life moving too smoothly? Sometimes I think that everything is going my way... and to my advantage...
Ignoring the background issues ( Some drunken father that always throw useless tantrums around. ), ever since I was young, I have gotten everything I wanted, every toy a child could ever have and want. But since dunno when I started saving my pocket money to buy my own stuff. Unlike other children that have to report to their parents on what they're gonna buy and seek permission, I never had to, as long as I save my own money I can buy whatever I wanted. And unlike other children my pocket money is indeed for my own use only, it doesn't include transport, clothes, food and other stuff. Therefore, I always could get whatever I wanted.
During Primary School, I never studied for my entire 6 years. My Primary School was rather competitive where students from the first class would avoid children from the last class like crazy. For some reasons, I passed all my subjects but was thrown to the last class.
Competition was damn high within my school. But I managed to get in EM2 and got into a good class after Primary 4. Then I managed to get straight As for PSLE without studying and I was still playing video games the day before exam.
Then during Secondary School, as usual, I didn't have the habit of studying. I keep flunking and flunking, but somehow miraclously again, I managed to get 56 / 100 overall for my Secondary 2 results and got pushed to Secondary 3 Express, I almost had to repeat. Phews. Then I continued slacking, till 1 month before O'Levels. I only studied a little, but managed to get decent grades, not good grades but decent enuff.
Then I went to Poly, before Poly I was always alone, I only had a few good friends, so in Poly, I told myself, I wanted to be the best, wanted to change and make many friends. And so I did, I became to best in my class, and made many friends. I though I changed, I though I became better. Until I went NS.
All my problems came back, how I seldom talk to people, how I lack behind in some stuff. So I requested to see the phycharist, you can say I chao keng, I don't mind, but I just can't see myself getting dirtied. So now they are gonna post me to a place where I can do something relevant to what I learned in Poly. Computers. Which is what I wanted exactly. I always wanted to further my programming skills, and now I can. Its amazing.
Of coz, there was ONE THING I couldn't get in my life... the girl I like most... but thats about the only thing.
Is my life too smooth sailing? -
smooth or not is always a question of perspective
like a piece of paper u see close up is full of bumps use microscope even worse
but if u look it at from far, its very smooth ma
so people who keep narrow focus will think their life is very rough
look at the bigger picture and everything is ok. -
"Life, is yours smooth?" Wrong focus... you are focusing on the wrong things... whether your life is smooth or not is at best an illusion in your head.. so what if it is smooth or rough? So what? Nothing! Unless you make it into something.
-
Depends on each person mentality...
You can have what the world view as smooth but you deem as rocky and vice versa....
It would depends on what you want and see in life, whether you feel that it meet your standards or not.
I consider myself smooth even though it might not be as smooth as yours or any other's person's view. That is what I need to know.

So lemme get this straight:
- you didn't have to justify your spending as a child
- you didn't study hard in primary school
- you didn't study hard in secondary school either
- you went to see a psychiatrist and got an easy role in NS
About the only thing that you've said you've worked at was poly.
Why shouldn't life be smooth? You've been in cruise mode most of your life from what you've described. -
If life is smooth sailing, then y do we have to slog our gut out to work?Originally posted by Guilmon1987:Is your life moving too smoothly? Sometimes I think that everything is going my way... and to my advantage...

If life is smooth sailing, then there is no meaning in life.
NS makes a guy into a man... a bit dirty.. cannot tehan... my NS days i wear the same set of uniform for 3 days... till now i still can remember the smell... disgusting
As for girl, take it easy la. Got money got honey. But is the honey looking at the money or u? That's the prob. -
Think whether smooth sailing a not is really a matter of perspective. Hopefully I can get some of your optimisim. The girl problem...no worries lah. Lots of girls out there. Good luck!

life is a long journey........it comprises of ups & downs. no one is free of problems in this world as far as i'm concerned.
as far as you've not encountered major hiccups, you can consider it smooth & please consider it as a blessing -
Maybe you are just easily contented.
