.it's a sappy sappy night.
Just 5 minutes ago, I was listening to this rock ballad called "Stop and Stare" by One Republic and moments later, I found myself humming to the tune of this horribly saccharine song by Bonnie Tylor called the Total Eclipse of The Heart.
I am having these horrible moodswings nowadays.
And I weep whenever I watch Gilmore Girls!
Especially at Rory's graduation speech part, I would start with some quiet sniffing...... that would eventually evolve into a full-fledged sob. I know everyone prolly won't know which part I'm referring to but I'm a total sucker for Gilmore Girls.
I am hopeless I know.
Till I figure out how to cure myself of this GG emotional nonsence, I shall put all the blame on the pregnancy food that I eat a lot of. All the suan mei and stuff, I think I'm starting to feel the side effects of hormonal imbalance.
EwwW.
.work.
Everybody.
I'm finally working!
Well at least that was what I have been trying to do for the past week or so. And like all others who used to have high hopes about how the working world is going to be so much more fun and happening than the school-ling world, my hopes were dashed by the second day.
I tried compiling a few points (among the millions) of why my job sucks and here it goes...
Firstly, work is expensive. Every single freaking day for the first 5 days that I have started work, I took a cab. I would rush out of my house at exactly 9.47 am, board the taxi at 9.51am and reach the office at 10.08am exactly. Trust me, I'm not lying about the timings because there's this timer on the taxi that informs you what time you board it. Plus my office requires their workers to clock in their times specifically.
Well I must say I have grown to be seriously impressed with my knack for time. Oh work starts at 10am by the way.
Secondly, my job requires me to do all sorts of sai gang. I entered this job thinking that I was only required to do administrative work (as stated CLEARLY in my contract) ... which I pictured in my mind to be sitting comfortably behind the office desk looking all smart and professional, doing some occasional typing and sipping a cup of Starbucks coffee.
BUT, after the second day, reality kicks in and I realised that I was cheated! Every day for the past week, I walk out of my office looking like a zombie. All hazard and wacky. My job, in actual fact, is all about moving things around. Sometimes it was the cheese (don't ask me why but it's part of this new "brilliant" marketing plan). Sometimes it was stacks and stacks of survey questions. What pisses me off the most is that my "desk" is in fact this make-shift foldable table that I would have to force open every morning and fold back when I leave.
It grunts. Ah.
Thirdly, the food portion is miserable. And the cafeteria people are plain evil. I was going to buy this slice of watermelon on Tuesday from the snack store and because there wasn't any sign on the pricing, I politely asked the vendor how much it would cost. She gave me this queer glance over and said "70 cents". So I took an apple and the slice of watermelon and was about to pay $1.70 for it when one of the office staff (which I can only assume to be some big shot at the office) came over to the counter and happened to watch me pay. And VOILA... my fruits suddenly cost a total of 90 cents only!
I really want to go on ranting about how office people are plain bitchy but my eyes are closing. Plus there's work tomorrow and I am determined not to take a cab again.
Sorry if my typing's a little incoherent, my brain's all shut down at the moment.
So good night everyone!
Oh before I forget,
my dear friends who are currently working,
do stay out of trouble! :)
.Hello 2008.
Today's the first day of the start of the new year. And as a routined gesture, I thought this new year would require a humdrum post to take stock of the past year. As well as be in time to squeeze in a few new year resolutions to usher in 2008.
Happy new year my friends, not-so-nice friends, family and all! :)
It's been a mad rush the past year.
There was school- which includes the mountainous pile of homework, the monotonous lectures which I never fail to fall asleep at (15 minutes tops), the sickening "staring and glaring" matches with teachers (figuratively of course), the boy-girl friendships that have gone bad, the girl-girl friendships that have gone sour. Oh and trainings. The 20 rounds around the school track, the puking and crying and under-the-breath cursing during p.t.
Ah. It's hard to say that last year would be much missed.
But of course, like every other cosmic order that governs this universe, we are constantly standing -albeit precariously- on a ta-da...old-fashioned balance! One up, one down... think Marigold's Highs and Lows. Ha ha!
School wasn't all that bad I have to admit.
Well, homework was maniacal but I suppose it was inevitable with it being A level year - the (as my parents love to say) ultimate turning point to a whole new and bright future... making it seem as though screwing up the As even a teensy weensy bit would be a straight suicide to hell. Ah. I feel the love.
Okay, amidst all the Lows of JC2 life, I made a couple of good friends.
Friends who will indulge me in my love for subway. Thanks michelle :) At least I let you da bao Long Johns over to subway! Ha ha! Oh and Felicia, I know you hate subway.
Friends who have to put up with my constant punching and squeezing of the arms, mainly to snigger wickedly when their so-called "rats", are just FATS. Thanks xavier and chern wei, have fun at boot camp! Be well.
Friends that never let go of the chance to call me names. Thanks yang ying, though "stupid" and "mouse" aren't exactly the most endearing of names, you will be dearly missed. Annabel, I do appreciate the "rednosegirl89" that you tagged on my blog. Ha ha! I hope to see you around soon so you can fill me in on more juicy gossip!
Oh and not to forget my oldest friend in JC. Rosie Flower, my superwoman, my stoning partner, my occasional "mean friend" so I will be shocked into harsh reality and not be cooped up in my own delusions, Thank You. JC would be so much more than just a pain in the ass if not for you. :)
2007 has been a hell of a ride I must say! And in the spirit of the new year, I have a few new year resolutions to make.
1) I need to pack/renovate my room. At the very least, make sure that my clothes would not come tumbling out of my closet the moment I open the closet door.
2) Shed some pounds. (I know, *rolls eyes*, what's new?)
3) And be a total mama girl. At least till the bitch fights start and all hell breaks loose.
Welcome 2008! May Marigold's Highs and Lows start all over again. :)
