trivialities rule my life
shit. it's another pixless blog again. where's my stupid cd to install the software?!! this sucks.
oh my. when i first got my job and blog about it, i've only started work for 2 days. bu ji bu jue it's almost 2 weeks now. actually i realised that i blog a lot about my job. i think it's prolly bcoz it takes up so much of my waking hours *suddenly felt v sad*
to make things worse, i moonlight on the sly, so that means, MORE WORK. (i figure we dun have any policy against us working after work hours. it's my free time and i can do what i want, right?)
i am a slave to money.
always knew that i am some sort of anti-social, friendless freak but i didnt know it was this bad. on the few rare occasions like today when i have some time and energy left after a long day, i could like blog a little about my monotonous existence. dawny is v kind and try her best to do justice to this humble little blog by leaving polite tag msgs on my board frequently. i think she is awkward that no one else leaves me any msg so as my good fren, she felt much obliged to brighten things up with cheery msgs. thanks woman ^_^
i would like to mention a sweet fren of mine from good old anderson days. this dearie, whom i address her as yoke (insisted to be known as fae now :P) , is the kinda lost-contact-after-sec-sch-days-but-remembered-fondly-as-a-tight-buddy-who-hang-out-with-me-when-we-were-both-16. i wanna extend my congrats to this lady who is expecting her little bundle of joy soon. i'm gonna buy you a baby gift, expect the usually cliche shower set and cute baby clothes *grinz*
ok la, actually my life is not so sad la. although i really dun have a lot of friends but the few buddies i've known back from anderson r those true pals for life, and i am happy to know that they are all, erm, alive and kicking, although we hardly have time to meet. my only complaint is that i never had mahjong kakis which is like, so pathetic. i'm the kind who wanna mj for the sake of mj. tot that after i got a job i can have colleagues to mj with. fat chance. (i can't imagine, ever, playing mj with A and M-san. the few things in life that's plain weird)
pretty much always lunch alone so i rather dabao to office and eat. the typical OL goes to work, waits for lunch, and after lunch waits for 6pm. mon waits till fri, start of the mth wait till the end when the salary finally comes in and the whole cycle just goes on and on. not to mention the morn and after work rush hour mrt/bus squeeze, the crowded eating places during lunch, the sleepy moments after lunch. also v lonely la sometimes. i actually envy other who have colleagues to lunch with. ha ha. i dun mind eating alone but it doesnt hurt to have company sometimes i guess.
easily irritated by little things too. like how i was cheated to buy dumpling ramen from this store today, there's this long Q and i q for like 20mins can.. some china pple were running the store and this lady was like asking the pple in q for their order. happily she forgotten mine and 3 pple behind me were served 1st. i can totally hear the guy cooking the noodle saying to her that if she has forgotten and i'm like: ok, i can understand chinese can. not the least bit apologetic lo. to make thing worse the 'ramen' is totally ban mian can. stupid lo. i will never eat at this store again ever. call me petty and c if u care. if u work in an office, lunch time is like so precious. and did i mention my office is like on the 36th floor? on average i'm prolly riding in the lift for 3 whole mins or more each time.
nevertheless, all these complaints and whining being said, i guess i'm still happier than all the petty stuffs that bother me. at least the pple in office r really nice. and the advantage of small company is prolly flexibility. not so many rules and regulations to follow as well. M-san said i could have 2 days of paid leaves during my probation. i mean, that's like so nice lo. it may not be a huge thing but its these little things that counts. i appreciate that.
working is a great life experience. even when u r sitting in the office all day, u do come across all sorts of pple via the telephone or email. today i have to do cold calling for 3 hours. of coz it's a much dreaded task and i visualise pple slamming down the phone on me or something. surprisingly, mmost r actually patient and polite enuff to hear u out b4 saying 'no' or 'send me your company profile via email pls' kinda response. i only got 2 pple cutting me off mid-sentence with 'not interested!'. so that's pretty cool. there r even v nice pple, like this lady who works for takashimaya hr and speaks to me real nicely. even sent me an acknowledgment after i emailed her. my faith in goodness of mankind has once again been rekindled. lol.
the other day the most digusting thing happened to me. sometimes in the morn i dun have thing to really eat properly so i will buy a small carton of soya bean. so that morn, i unsuspectingly stuck a straw into the cartoon and drank, only to find myself with a mouthful of thick gross liquid instead of the usual soya bean. yucks!!!!!! i totally ran to the sink and threw up k? it tasted like vomit (not that i have drank vomit b4 but i can imagine vomit to taste just like that) turned out that the expiry date was printed wrongly and god knows how long this crap has been. it was one of the most digusting things that even happened to me. and mind you i'm the kind that drink hard liquor without much hesitation but this was like, unforgivable.
oh. my life is filled with trivialities. praise the good lord (i'm no christian but i like the way this phrase sounds).
it's sleeping time once again. when i open my eyes tmr, it's yet another wonderous day of office life! whoopi doo!
