Singapore
I came to Singapore
in 1981 and worked as Technician for about 8 years.
In this period, I lived alone and mostly I spent time in my workplace.
Interest to learn the industrial technology and work responsibility
were my major parts of my life at Singapore. Reading books in library, walking
at calm and green environment, writing letters to family and friends may be
my other parts of the life as and when time permits. I really enjoyed my life
with great friendship with mixture of various culture.
My way of life....
In these 8 years, my way of thinking gets more and more deep and interesting.
I tried my best to support my family and friends at backhome for their
reasonable benefits as the main aim of Singapore life. I really enjoyed my
Industrial life as if I lived for that!
Here I mentioned as 'reasonable benefits'; it is not having any specific
standard. It is up to us to decide which is reasonable and which is not.
There is no end to make our life better and better comfort. It keeps
improving and improving in this modern technological world. So everyone
will have an ambition to have more comfort than what it is. Where is the
end for it? I don't know!.
My family people also may have lots of desires, like others. Initially they
struggled in the life. Now they are better. Let them also have some more
better! (reasonably as far as my concern).
The way of living and way of satisfaction are not having any standard as
far as I think. It is purely depends on the individual's mentality and
situation. Controlling the situation depends on the mentality.
For me, I may not get really satisfied in any kind of life, since life
is not having any reality!.
My singapore life is the great life time in my life. I could simply
forget the outside world and work in Presco (Company). Working at Presco
was my normal life and that gave a great comfort to me which is not in
other normal life. Was like my Home, never thought is a Company work for
my earnings. That ends with Presco. never come again! What I mean about
the Presco life may not be good for others, but for me.
My Fun Run experience....
In my early school life we just played football, tennis, ring ball and many
other local games with friends. After school I never participated any
sports activities.
During Singapore festival of arts 1982, I participated with my colleagues
in the Festival fun run of 7 km held on Nov 28, 1982. I enjoyed this fun run
with my colleagues. I did another 2 fun run of 7 km in some other charity
events. Everyday I use to walk lot. But this fun run was different and
enjoyable.
In 1987, Singapore Amateur Athletic Association organized a MARATHON which
sponsored by Mobil Oil Singapore. We all decided to participate in that
Marathon to have a big fun! It is 42.195km! We even practiced everyday to
make this long walk success! Finally we completed this great Marathon which
held on December 20, 1987.
I completed this Marathon in 5hours 36minutes and 16 seconds. It is a great
fun and also tough task. I did! During this fun run I enjoyed calmness in my
mind with hard physical attempt. My mind reflected my walk 10 years ago in
Trichy, India. (refer my India life writings). Even this fun, made some
reflection of my earlier life.
