Everything and Nothing in particular

My last entry was posted more than 1 week ago.

What in my life has changed since then?

It seems that everything has changed, yet nothing in particular that is exceptionally striking.

It's a wonder what life's really all about.

Must my life be full of fireworks everyday to warrant it to be a life full of happening, and i suppose, meaning?

Won't that be too tiring after a while? A simple life has its attractions too.

I suppose work has been busy, yet manageable. This might be kinda perverse thinking, but i do feel a wee bit comforted that life revolves around work now cos i m assured of my significance in getting a job done (n many days of times off in lieu subsequently, but that's irrelevant).

I know success in one's job might not be the right measure of success, but through society's viewpoint, it is definitely one indicator of success.

I feel that i am succumbing to the societal herd mentality as the days passed, in more ways than one. i am increasingly being influenced and gauging people based on insignificant measures that i might not have cared about in the past. Does this mean i am getting more shallow?or conversely, more mature of the ways of this world?

So TIRED!

I am so tired to the extent tt i tink it warrants a blog entry...just imagine...

working 7 days a week, for an average of 9 hrs per dae.

not enuff sleep, rest or time for doing bo liao stuff.

not enuff time to keep myself updated on current affairs or watching tv.

not enuff time with my family. i estimate tt i dun get to c my sis for more than 2hrs a wk, n we 'bump' into each other only bcos we share the same toilet.

i c my parents more, only bcos they fetch me from work after 10pm every wknite. but no quality time spent chatting watsoever, cos by tt time, i nid to rush to finish eating my dinner cum supper, and get ready for bed.

i suppose part of the blame is attributed to myself..noeing tt i i hv to work on sat AND sun, i still persisted in gg for ktv with my frens last sat nite, from 12-4...n tt's 12 midnight to 4am. sucker for torture. now, i hv to survive one whole wk with not enuff rest. but conversely, my argument is tt i wun hv time to relax n enjoy myself, n do tings a normal youth shld b doing on wkend, which is DEFINITELY not spending the wkend in the office, no matter how many things i nid to finish.

counting down till 30 Apr.

on the bright side, my PWC fren told us tt she heard a rumour tt next yr's new batch of asst wld b paid $2.2k, in which case, we asst yr 2 wld hv an increment too, to 2.6k! i sure hope tis rumour is true!! it's time they start compensating me for my lost youth, lost in transit at work. hahahaha...

My Perfume

Compliments of the website that Spinkypinkie suggested i try:

'Original, slightly provocative and sophisticated, you're a liberated and independent woman. You like to play a part and unexpected events are your favorite dish. You have a fairly strong personality; you're extraverted and enjoy meeting people. Boredom doesn't belong in your life and you live it up, which amazes people around you. Modern and proud of your looks, you want a makeover without stepping too far from what works for you. Chypre perfumes suit you with their rich and lingering notes of oakmoss, musk and patchouli. Fruity, woody or green, you will find a fragrance worthy of your ambitions and faithful to your refinement in their variety and originality.'

=) Sounds gd yah? I wonder if it's all the same...

Emails

Sometimes, i wonder wat it means if you email someone, and the someone doesn't reply. I dun mean emailing bo liao fwded emails, but emails which at least talk about sth?

Dun such emails necessitate at least some sort of a response? or is it tt the person can't b bothered to reply? alternatively, it can b due to not knowing wat to reply?

Think i c the value of having 'read receipts' at work. at least i wld noe tt the person had act received and read the email, even though the indiv may not have responded.

Oh yah, newfound liking for Josh Groban's songs!!

The Rainbow's Out After the Rain!

First of all, i must say a big Thank You to everyone who commented in my last post. It's really quite comforting to read the entries, esp when i was do terribly down.

Secondly, and more importantly...i tink the problem has resolved after much strategising on my part. But at least it's taking a step in the right direction, and tings dun seem tt bad after all, at tis pt in time.

This episode has taught me a few lessons though:

1. who my true frens are.

2. not everyone will concur with my method of doing tings, although my intention may b just n pure.

3. some guys are just downright MCPs, no matter how much they pretend that they are not.

4. gals shld sometimes take the soft approach in solving matters..ie. it is alrite to use girlish charm & tears to catch everyone's attn as to how badly affected we r to sth when no one else might noe if o/w.

5. never ever give up, even when tings look bad.

Real lessons learnt..hopefully, remembered into the future too. =)

Thanks alot again (u noe who i m referring to)!
