i just realised i'm not the worse-off person in the world.
of cos, i already knew that, and i bet you guys who are reading this do too, but you just don't feel it.
eventhough qihan has been boasting his 7.5k internship, i'm satisfied with my 0.75k internship. it's a whole lot of difference, but this amount may mean much more to an entire family.
yes, an entire family - you know, mom, dad, 2-3 siblings. and there's really a family like that. i was like, that's the amount i'm gonna be earning for my internship... and it can support a family?!
i was typing in information for people who applied for bursaries... there was a lot, and it made me realised how there's still a big proportion of people who are poor out there.
like this kid whose mom's a babysitter with unstable income... dad's permanently unfit for work (some neuro problems), and their family income is only 500. and then there's those who does odd jobs, with income ranging below 400, single parent. there's also people with problematic marriage, and i know because i was nosy enough to read the legal documents they have attached to their application.
maybe next time i can have a family just by doing internships.

you know how sometimes you're just supposed to do your job and don't nose too much into others' affairs? well i don't do that. if i were plainly keying in data that would be much less fun. (ok, i'm not deriving happiness out of other's miseries. like, 'hey! she got f9 in every 'o' level subjects. HAHAHA.') at least i discover something by reading them. oh well, it's not like i know those people personally. they might have crossed my paths (there's how many thousands of woodlanders!). i read everything i key - testimonials, 'a' level results, chemistry homework, and hell, even financial manuals.

still i don't become smarter like that. i just know more. heh. the bad thing is, i have such a lousy memory that it really didn't matter if i read some important stuff cos i'll probably forget it anyways.
