Life goes on

Went for several interviews recently. And most of the time when it comes to declaring your physical disability or illness, I will stopped for a while and ponder why is such a declaration necessary.
I am perfectly fine now. I am under observation and only need to see the doctor maybe 4-5 times a year. I work like a normal person, so I dunno if I should declare something that is not going to affect my job performance and yet affect my chances of employment.

Some friends tell me, you should declare, it's integrity issue. But trust me, when you are in the same situation as me, you will be facing the same dilemma. The medical bills + normal living expenses + etc stuff that needs money. Without a job, how do we pay for all that? But if you declare your condition, you are jeopardizing your chances at the job. Is it worth it? Integrity? Integrity cannot generate income for me. Neither will "integrity" has a place in people's "discriminating views".

A friend told me that his friend once interviewed a guy that look completely normal. Then the guy declare that he is half deaf, and he rejected his application. And then, he met up with another lady applicant, whom he was very keen to hire. She told that guy that she is half blind because of a traffic accident. The guy wanted to hire her still and asked the HR office if she would be able to pass the medical examination like this. The HR cannot give a definite answer at all. In the end, the lady didn't come over to work as she was afraid she might never find a job again if she quit her current job....where no one even realised she is half blind.

You see? We are perfectly normal when it comes to work. But when you declare, people starts to doubt your abilities. This whole declaration is really quite unfair to many people with chronic conditions that don't affect their normal life. Same thing with declaring you are a homosexual. It is as if your sexuality will affect your brain cells to make you more stupid in your work.
So I also really dislike people asking if I have a boyfriend. I dun wanna lie, but I dunno how to answer either.

All I want is just a simple life, a career, and a family. Please don't destroy that for me with your discriminations OR your sympathetic views on me.

My blog is too plain. O_o

Look at Molly's blog!
So colorful!

O_o

I am simply too lazy.

And I dun like to put pix of myself. Er.. not very nice. And I am not one who take photos often. Okie, I like taking photos but I hate uploading there. TOO LAZY

So yar well....

Haha, I will just live with my boring blog for now

My 2 and a half years old nephew is here! I am gg to play w him now. XDDD

哪怕物归原主, 爱也不会结束

Firstly, thank molly for commenting on my blog. Somehow it made me wanna tear when I read your comment. All the best to you. I know you can overcome your condition.

Secondly, the show 881 is on now and I have not watched it yet. But I dunno why local movies always like to show cancer patients striving for their dreams. I mean, I totally respect Royston Tan. He is the pride of Singapore Arts scene. But girl got cancer and wanna act in one last show before dying..? Okie, I think maybe I have to watch it for myself to judge.
But nonetheless, I am sad to know the story and it makes me even sadder to know that I have the same condition yet do not know what to strive for in my life. I feel kind of lost. Well, my life is only my family and my gf and our hobby now. I guess that is the thing to strive for in my life, eh?

Oh, and looking for a job to call my career. I am still looking for it. The companies are really taking their own sweet time to get back to me. Do their test, 2 weeks later, come for interview, still have to wait 2 weeks later. :/

And anyways, I saw this song from Blinkymummy's blog and just kop from her site to put here. Hope she dun mind and doubt she reads my blog anyway. So here goes.



身体和财富, 都是身外物.
都是借来, 完成短促的演出.
人类是租户, 爱却是礼物.
哪怕物归原主, 爱也不会结束.

So true isn't it? Love will never end, cos it's a gift. I thank the heavens for bringing my gf to me.

Oh, and I realised that I actually know who XDD is. No wonder so many of her friends, I also heard before. XDD is the owner of PL channel last time when I used to hang out there. What a small world. Too bad I never managed to know her more.
The world is too small.

I am strong! I will become stronger!!!
