It is official. I am now a teacher. This post will expose a certain ritual that I firmly believe in. A few post back I mentioned that I have been quite lucky and just a quick recap on how lucky I am:
Car accident no injury.
BTO in Tampines.
Graduated from NUS with no work done.
A- for FYP with no work done.
Successfully get a job that is within my target.
Zoe.
To be honest, I would love to credit all my luck to Zoe because life has never been the same after I met her. In fact, without her immense coaching before A levels, my Maths would have flunked just like my Physics and Econs. And most of you would know that she is a super tryhard in terms of studies so the fact that she took so much time off her revision to help me proves how lucky I am.
Those multiple coaching sessions allowed me to get into NUS due to an A in Maths despite the abysmal results in Physics and Econs and that was the start of the amazing luck.
I firmly believe in karma. Not so much as doing bad to others and bad things will happen to you also, but rather if something bad luck happens to you, you will get an equally lucky break.
Not many people know the full story of how NS screwed me over, but long story short, if NS didnt screw me over, I would not have met my hyper-carry in Uni. Case in point, bad luck -> good luck.
Not many people know the story of how I finally made the decision to quit maple due to extenuating circumstances, long story short, without quitting, I would have never started blackshot, never met HeavenRemix, never been able to stand on the stage of WCG kissing a medal, how many people can daresay they took a game so seriously so far to that extend? Furthermore I would have never started maple private server, never met Dollars/Ikke in DN which in turn would not have given me all the fun memories and money to go Taiwan, how many people can say they stood at the top of 2 MMORPGs? Case in point, bad luck? Fk that shit -> Even better luck.
So far, it may seem luck has been favouring me in irrelevant things like games. The next part of the story would go into Dota/LoL. Some of you may know, I went to WCG Dota when I was in secondary 3/4 and got 4th in the Asia Regionals. So therefore I always felt that I was good in MOBA games. LoL is a game that is similar in concept to Dota and I aspired to be as good in LoL as I was in Dota. However, despite previous success in Dota, despite dominating FPS, dominating Action MMO, dominating MMORPG, I could not go far in LoL. Perhaps I was old, perhaps I was getting tired of games, perhaps I coudlnt give enough fks to be a tryhard, but an interesting phenomenon occured.
Every time a really important life event was going to happen, I would go on MASSIVE losing streaks. I was still playing ranked games despite 0 progress in FYP, after 17 consecutive losses, I stopped playing, and suddenly my FYP was done. After the interview, I had 16 consecutive losses, and abracadabra I am now a teacher with my dream subject combination.
Perhaps I am giving myself an excuse as to why I suck in LoL, but being bad was well worth it.
Going into the next part of my life, I am kinda sorta reluctant. Not that I dowan to work or I dowan to stop playing, its just that I have to start giving a fk to things that I have long not given fks to.
Things that I have not given a fk to:
1) People.
2) Building relationships.
3) Impressions of others.
4) My image.
Now that I have to start work, be a role model, start making friends with colleagues, suck HOD balls, trying to carry on pointless and boring and fake conversations with people I give zero fucks to. Sigh.
Grow the fk up Danny. Stop whining like a little bitch. I guess this is what it means to 踏入社会. Time to respect authority and stop testing/challenging the system. Time to 早睡早起, time to be politically correct, time to man up and shoulder some responsibility and work towards a family someday.
One thing will never change though,
Dear Miss Yeo,
I love you. I want to make you Mrs Chu soon <3
Regards,
Mr Jay =D
You will always be the silver lining to whatever bad luck that bestows upon me, you will always be the good luck that follows me around without complaints, and as some would say: blind faith.
