dilemma.

i have come to a road junction where i have to make a lifelong decision. should i continue design work or communications? design work there is web design, graphic design, animation and film. communications there is public relations, marketing, corp comm. in fact theres too much choices to make and too little motivation. as i can see the people around me, most of them are forced into making choices becos of the lack of money. becos of the stigma of remaining jobless for too long. nt everyone makes a choice they are happy about. its always the social pressure that make them do it and they just headlunge into it, regardless of their own satisfaction. imagine a little boy saying this to his father, daddy daddy i wan to be a policeman when i grow up. the dad reply, yes my dear boy, come i tuck u to bed. as the time goes by, the boy grows up and join the force. the parents attend the young man cadet graduation and happily takes a photo with him. Reality check. you’re in singapore. this is probably what they show in the movies. its nv gonna come true.

The above example of the little boy is fictional and has no real resemblance to anyone real life. this is how the media propanganda over the years has guided the perception of the boy to think being a policeman is cool. most stuff u saw on the tube and online is probably what they wan you to see and believe. stop believing. start experiencing.
