Читать книгу Happy Go Lucky - Jimmy Chua - Страница 12

HAPPY was disappointed that he could not get into the school of his choice. He wanted to go to Anderson Junior College however the cutoff point was way higher than his result at the General Cambridge Examinations (GCE) Ordinary Levels for high school leavers.

Well, there is always a blessing in disguise, so he enrolled in the finance and banking diploma course at Nanyang Polytechnic which is just across the road. The food is good and there are 4 large canteens that serve affordable yet delicious yummy food across the days. There are many clubs and societies that one can join in the Nanyang Polytechnic. Well, one of the choices that caught his eyes is the youth flying club that promises to send anyone who is selected to join into the Skies and kick start a flying career that is going to be lucrative in pay, as well as the chance to fly around the world. In the past, that would have entailed taking trains and ships, and try to do it within 80 days. With a plane, we can travel practically anywhere within 2 days, round the whole world. It will be faster in the foreseeable future.

HAPPY was pretty happy in School at Nanyang Polytechnic. This is the first time he gets to wear his own home clothes instead of school uniform and he also gets to meet lots of attractive girls around. Hahaha.. His chance of getting a girl friend is near, he thought. Well it may be as easy or as hard as one thinks! One has to have faith that he can do something before he can really achieve it! As such, with determination, anyone can surmount any difficulties that lie ahead for we can only know what is ahead as we proceed step by step, mile by mile.

He was surely close to his dream of finding a dream date, someone who can go regularly with him to do shopping, watch movies, study together, travel, cook together.

On the other hand, he was also unsure of how living a life with a partner entails? Does it require compromise to make both sides happy, will he be able to spend his money as freely as before? Does he need a job to keep the relationship going? What about grades in school? What about time for friends? Will his parents accept the girl he chose? Will he love the girl if another more attractive girl comes up to him and signal attention? Will he….? So many things to think about. What should he do?

When one is in doubt, he should proceed with care. Only by moving forward can you see what you like and what you don’t like to do, just have fun every day, and make it a meaningful life ahead! The next step comes only after the current step is done, leading us forward day by day!

Just as he is going home one day taking bus 72, HAPPY met a girl who lost her wallet on the bus. He has her address and delivered it to her home. She was really surprised! Her name is MARY and she is a sweet girl who has short curly hairs wearing specs that are thin framed. Her dog is PETER and she lives pretty near where Happy lives in his 5 room HDB Flat.

So she decided to give him a meal treat the next day and HAPPY seized the chance to ask her out for movie. It turns out that she is also studying at Nanyang Polytechnic, specializing in media and communications, and helping companies brainstorm ways to make their online websites more appealing to users.

They become good friends and added each other on Facebook and chatting regularly till late at night, sharing their interests and hobbies! She decided to enroll in a blogging competition for the most beautiful blog contest and HAPPY was going around asking his Facebook friends to like her blog so that she can have a chance of winning it. The first prize is a ticket for 2 to Bali, with return airfares and hotels all included. MARY joked to HAPPY that if she wins the first prize, he will get to go.
