Hi Mr Gilbert.

Ever since stumbling upon your blog 3 months back, I have been a regular reader. Ya know, some stories are really scary and as of now I’m unnerved as hell.

I graduated last year (June) with a B.A in social science (hons 2nd lower) & started job-hunting in November last year after taking 4 months off to consider my options. As of now, I’ve been job hunting for 5 months already & nothing has turned out well.

Sat for a total of 7 interviews & nothing worked out. In desperation, I will apply for private sector. You know, I’m starting to feel that I have no future in Singapore. Or Rather, I’m starting to know that I have no future in Singapore because I’ve already been feeling that there’s no future ever since year 2 of my undergraduate studies. I’m having a hard time as of now and I don’t know what to do.

But the one thing that I did right was to renounce all religion and switch to atheism. I’m very convinced that there is no such thing as a god & that life can be divided cleanly into 2 branches. You either enjoy or you don’t.

Mr Gilbert, maybe my email might seem really negative to you, but I’m depressed as f#%k over last 3 months. Even so, I have been constantly learning new stuff over the period of job-hunting. I may have given up on the world, but I have not given up on myself.

Care to pop in some words of advice.
Best wishes,
Lost & alone
