"You're wishin' too much, baby. You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughta be.”

in the past weeks i mentioned that i was looking for another job, in addition to my existing one. well, i found one, went for the interview, passed it, went for the training, started working, and resigned after one day's work (albeit a little reluctantly, because i had three deals pending. three!). all this happened in a flash of four days.

sigh i'm always doing things on impulse, but i really can't help myself.

some good has come out of this at least. now i realised that being a receptionist is actually a much better job than being a telemarketer. though i must say that i quite enjoy telemarketing as well - the thrill that rushes up your spine when you manage to close a deal, the sense of achievement. it's really a challenging job. but i couldn't stand having my dinners alone, because a certain MS LIM played me out(no hard feelings :)), hence, the resignation. okay so now that i'm learning to count my blessings, i decided that i really like my job. though it's a tad late seeing that i only have a little more than one month left. still it's better late than never, right? haha. i'm given much more important tasks to do now. the most fun part is when i get to prepare powerpoint presentations for the company, and help the HR manager in highly confidential stuff, which nobody, not even my mentor, is allowed to see. and she allows me to sit at her desk when i do it! me, sitting at the manager's desk. hurhur.

yeah i'm only happy when i feel important. ain't that sad? haha.

i was asked to extend my contract but declined though. i don't like my job that much, and i always wanted to try out teaching or marketing. plus i really can't stand some people in my company. i mean, most of them are nice, but some are downright unreasonable and drive me crazy sometimes.

this new year was pretty much the same as the years before. except my cousins came back from vancouver this time, which makes no difference anyway cos i didn't talk to them. oh, and for some strange reason my dad wanted to go to the bird park yesterday despite the ominous rainclouds. so we spent the first day of the lunar new year visiting birds in the pouring rain. well it's something new for a change i guess.


why i haven't been updating my blog - because i tried to many times but had difficulties upgrading it. haha obsolete me. really, i think i have a problem with accepting new things. even now long after everyone is using the "compose" function of blogger, i'm still using the "edit html" view which i've been using since sec 2. when i grow old, i'll probably be one of those workers who cannot absorb retraining or won't learnt the future equivalent of IT. haha!

okay now that i've finally managed to log into my own blog, i don't know what to say.

so next time then.

come back, tell me what you know.


you know on some days, you just feel exceptionally happy, out of no reason at all? well friday was like that. and no, it wasn't because it was a friday. i just woke up and felt lucky. weird huh? then throughout the day, everything went so smoothly it was quite unbelievable. i was in a great mood and kept laughing to myself because while doing my job i was reminiscing about all the funny things which happened in school. okay this sounds like i've cracked. lol.

met up with yy and yj to shop at bugis, and out of impulse, i decided to take on another job, on top of my existing one, together with yy. the interview was today. i might not be able to get it because my present job makes me unable to commit as many hours. it's quite crazy now that i think of it, but it's such a challenge! fun. plus i'm on this urge to try as many kinds of jobs as i can before i enter university (if i manage to do so).

that reminds me... results are coming out soon! oh man, so fast.


yesterday was a really bad day for me at work, but thankfully today was much better. i guess this shows that things will work out eventually? in a way, it's almost like an answer to my prayer. it's too much of a coincidence how solutions to a problem get thrust upon you out of nowhere, and at such an apt timing too. amazing. at the same time yesterday i was totally in despair, almost close to tears. but now... i guess i just feel very thankful.

no matter how much i say i hate my job, i know that this three months is really going to be an eye-opener for me. in fact, only one month in the job, my perspectives of many things have changed. talking to different people of various walks of life, different countries, listening to all the politics (actually to put it in a bad way it's listening to them backstab each other), i learnt that on the surface although the relationships in the office seem very good, what with all the frequent events and everything, there's actually another undercurrent running through, swift and cutting, and no one is free from it. i guess i can only learn to tread carefully.

man i really can't stand those hypocrites.

come monday i'm going to be involved in the renovation works. i have a bad feeling about this. while i'm gonna help with the piling and ladder-climbing and measuring and goodness-knows-what(now you know what i mean when i say i do everything), it means that someone else is going to do my job. GROWL. by the way can you imagine me doing renovation works?! so unglam.
