Dillema?
周围的人都在或多或少地劝我去美国,我竭力抗争着。
在来新加坡前,我过着没心没肺的日子,可以忽略不计。自从来了新加坡,我觉得我的生活差不多都是我自己安排的(当然其中要感谢我父母的宽容)从中三开始独自回家,到中四出门游玩,再到选择华初over RJ,投入精力进PA,劝服我父母让我申报国内没人听说过的LAC,放弃申报oxbridge的机会。。。可能很多事情做得都不是尽善尽美的,但还好都是我自己选择的,都是我想做的事情。其中有过后悔,但只是一段时间而已,现在回头看来,如果再给我一次机会,我还是会走同样的路。
是否去美国,是两条完全不同的路,这是所有人的说法,我也这么认为。但是,路不同,又怎样?车到山前必有路,船到桥头自然直。不论我选择了哪条路,我终究可以走下去,好好坏坏,我终究可以生存下去。我肯定我这样的人在未来的某一天,肯定会后悔今天所做的决定,但就像我之前几年无数次后悔一样,都是暂时的,因为明白那些都是我自己做出的选择,我要为自己负责,后悔无用。
回顾这四年来,特别是这两年来,我觉得自己一直都是在努力把自己的生活掌握在自己的手里,我想要的是一个predictable的生活,一步一步提前计划好,然后一步一步实现。这算不算我的个性?我不知道。。。但起码这是我的生活方式,这几年来的生活方式。很多人在劝我去美国的时候都说,年轻的时候不拼什么时候拼/现在年轻还可以承受得起失败之类的话。但我要是去了美国,那就对前途没有什么visualization了,这简直就是违背了我这几年来的生活习惯。当然,有人会说年轻的生活可塑性比较强,说不定去了美国,被丢到了一个陌生的环境中我就会被迫改变习惯了。但是,为什么保持自己的习惯不好呢?
想到两年前,PAE/JAE的时候,如果做个类比,华初就是留在新加坡,我凡事都能有人照应,一切很稳定的进行;而去RJ就是去美国,是种冒险,全新的环境,当然还有更多的机会。我选择了华初,但等结果确定下来后我就后悔了。我想RJ多好啊,在那里可以更好地学习英文,交到更多的朋友,而且RIB也有网络(那个时候我房间不通网),再说如果要去美国,RJ的机会也大过华初很多。过了两年,我却是非常自豪我能留在了05S31,过了两年开开心心的日子。现在想想,不管当时我去了华初还是RJ,我应该都没有什么问题能够过完这两年的。甚至有可能如果我在RJ取得比现在更大的成功,但是我不后悔我留了下来,因为我对过去的两年足够满意了,何苦非要庸人自扰考虑是否我换个活法会更好呢?自取其恼。
(发现我的话不是很有条理,不过没关系,大家将就着看,我以后有空再来整理)
留新加坡还是去美国,我都可以混出来。而且就像华初vsRJ的选择一样,我肯定会在某段时间后悔,然后再等过了一段时间接受当前的生活并开始享受。但是,从眼前看来,我可以隐约看到我在新加坡的未来,即使这些是不真实的,也足以安慰我;而去美国?我要读什么?我要怎么生活?我要怎么找工作?我要怎么继续深造?太多的问号,太多的不确定因素,this is not my way of life。that's all.
这几年来,可能我的生活不是那么轰轰烈烈,但的确都是我自己选择的,I chose what I like。所以这一次,I choose to stay.
p.s. 不要说我不求上进。我只是不喜欢unpredictable的生活而已。

看来我们说的都米有什么效果啊……
anw,毕竟是你自己的决定,我们也不能逼你去面对挑战or新生活之类的。
嗯……
那么快就做决定了?还是再想一想吧。我并不是要说服你来美国。但即使留在新加坡,也不能过于安于现状。人活着就是要挑战自己,尝试一些新的东西,何乐而不为呢?
围城啊围城。。。
我想出去!
=。= 上午人家耽误了那么久工作的时间讲的话是白讲了,不过不管你做怎样的决定,我都支持你因为你选择了自己的道路,活得是自己的人生,顶!
My dad would love your decision.
Welcome back!
大家劝其实都是没有什么意义的~我很支持你的决定,不管是留还是走!每个人都有自己喜欢的生活方式,这话几年前我貌似也说过~几年我我更是如此了~不要说我被安逸的生活给麻醉了,变得没有挑战自己的欲望了~“人活着就是要挑战自己,尝试一些新的东西”,这话是没有错,但也只是一部分人(抑或是当代大多数人)的想法吧~何况留着也并不是没有挑战~总之,知道自己想要的生活是件好事,所以不管什么决定,不要后悔,好好走就是了!
我好像没太跟你说过啥。。
不过有一点:HCI or RJ <> Spore or US, they are two very different choices..
还有一点挺同意的,“我肯定我这样的人在未来的某一天,肯定会后悔今天所做的决定”。
最后觉得有一点更同意,就是你上次写的wyf跟你说的让你想到孟子和国君的对话。
didn read the previous entry when writing the last comment.. ya.. i agree with wyf to a large extent, even when i read this entry juz now, i strongly feel ur argument of predictablility doesn't stand... or is valid to a small extent=) if u use that as the main reason to stay, i really wish u can reconsider. u need to make a choice with the correct reason.. that will hopefully minimise ur regret later..
I think ss got my point... not everyone enjoys challenging life even though most of time we are told to keep trying and challenging.
To szm: thank you for your reminder... I have been always playing defensively in Dota. So am I in life.
support lx, disagree with szm also..
i think it's all about risk, whenever we need to choose a school. some are more willing to take risks, always striving for the "best"; others are less so. also, some risks are more risky (nonsense), e.g. going to bard may be more risky than going to princeton; no financial aid is more risky than full aid. still got some time to think about it.
yibo
不管怎么样支持一下。
只要自己以后就算后悔也当作不后悔就行了。
恩,加油~
1. 没想到我才几天没来由这么多留言,大家好空...
2. 对于你要不要去的事,就像我一直说的,总的来讲就一句话:想去就去,不想去拉到。
3. 我不想说什么不管你做什么决定我都会支持你这样你屁话,as if i care, as if all these ppl above care... 你也老大不小了,自己做个决定总也绰绰有余了。当然做决定时的common sense你相信有一点。
3.1 做自己的决定,bear in mind that nobody really cares you. all these ppl above, including me, dun really care about e consequence of your decision. simply because we wont be affected by these consequences. we just provide some opinions when we are too free... maybe e only people care are your parents. but now, they cant help. help yourself.
3.2 不管做什么决定,不管再烂的决定,不要后悔,对自己负责。u are e only person gonna be responsible for your action, so jolly well be responsible for it. make up your mind, and never ever regret.
Take care
PS:不要说“周围的人都在或多或少地劝我去美国,我竭力抗争着。”as if we really care…just make up your mind on your own
PS: 本来想送你说留新加坡是“走自己的路,让别人去说吧”… but it sounds super risky and challenging. So I think it is not ur style…better just say, take care.
哇,典型的王氏风格(e.g. as if i care),只是竟然有中文掺和在里面。。。
1. 你自己说你不care就算了,不必用“we”啦,be moderate~ i still have a lot of visitors here. (u may recall your entries about her, and my very first comment in that entry)
2. 你所谓的不care就算了,也不是说大家不care啊,怎么着也是身边的朋友,怎么会一点都不关心呢?就相当于你所谓的家的定义,不是每个人都同意的,so is the definition of "care"
3. “想去就去,不想去拉到”,同学。。。我就在想啊。。。我没想完而已。。。
4. 后悔不后悔的问题,就像你楼上说的那样,就算后悔就当作不后悔好了。现在看以后的事谁说得清呢~
5. i will take care, thx
sorry lx i am afraid you din think clearly about the meaning of 'care' wyf was saying...
similar words i have repeated to a korean boy during my tuition assignment.
'nobody really cares besides u and ur parents.'
afterall i think this care issue should not affect the decision making. Caring words from other people only make u feeling warm and heeded. Effectively nothing else...
Think twice pls, as I said god knows how many ppl would love to have such an opportunity...
take care...
dun wanna see u in NUS or NTU next year...
Anonymous 说:"dun wanna see u in NUS or NTU next year..."
这也太狠了吧……
why? I will be ended there next year...
who will pity me, huh?
so there is nothing more cruel...
no comment liao...
人好多啊!再凑个热闹
doktom you are so jovial these days......
来盖楼吧,既然已经盖了21楼了……现在觉得说什么都被楼上的强者们否定的样子,是自己太shallow还是强者们太logical了?
why u are in awe of logic?
the world that construed by the language system might look pretty logical... but who knows of the real world outside what our language is capable?
though we are all science ppl, but I doubt our strong hold on the belief of logic now...
王逸丰你不就有点时间嘛。。。有空找你女人去~~
To anonymous:好chim的东西s,王逸丰改邪归正就轮到你了。。。(no offense, i'm just trying to be a joker...)
that is the good thing of being anonymous, as ppl will remember wyf but not anonymous...
hehe
wyf has been remembered alr...
anw, are you using a RSS reader or what? or u r visiting my blog every half an hour?
hey, ask u sth serious, u really choose to stay? 100%?
hey, ask u sth serious, u really choose to be anonoymous? 100%?
p.s. i will stay, unless singapore is invaded, encounters tsunami, earthquake, or some other disasters. so i can't say the probability is 100% yet.
to anonymous: I am not in awe of logic, just do not wish to spend the time and energy arguing. Honestly speaking,i had been a bit offended for being denied of caring about LX. Even where he goes does not affect my life much, it does not mean I just anyhow give him advice, risking to submit my assignment late (and I was late).
sorry for all these then, yinfei.
i shall speak no more. but i sincerely apologize for this disturbance on anybody's side. maybe these days i had read philosophy too excessively, and the influence of the sense of void is of no doubt too much for this cozy place.
what i was saying was 'no one will be affected by that decision more but himself. no one cares it for any longer but himself. we care for him rooted merely from an interest derived from our daily relation to him, or cos we are 'mentally' too free...
that is all...
also for the sake of exchanging ideas~
it is just hard for me to imagine if one was unable to figure out what the oppostion voices might be and how they were supported...
nvm, ignore what i said pls...
is the anonymous the same person?
好郁闷啊,都来这么晚了。。。其实我觉得,你收到Decision letter时,第一个想法就是你最真实的想法,想多了,恐怕就乱了。
如果实在是犹豫不决的话,那就丢硬币好了。。。
别再向那些什么risk来,risk去的,你选择什么都是有无限前途的。。。哪天发达了别忘了我哦。。。

好像是“想”,不是“向”。。。
