Lucky? Unlucky?

Maybe luck has been with me for far too long and decided to take a well deserved break. It is all fine except that luck took a break when I am at a major phase of my life, the transition from studying to working.

Unfortunately, I graduate into a period of financial uncertainties. Companies are holding back employment because of such uncertainties. So I am stuck with no job and dwindling savings. If this continues, I may not be able to survive past august. Seems like a long time to go. But US seems to be heading into long depression comparable to Japan, so they say. While China has a host of its own problem to handle. Singapore does not seem to have a strong fence to lean on and grow. Even if it does, majority of financial companies are European or US companies and will be affected by the economy in their own region.

My future does not look too good now. I just hope I can get a job to tide this through.
