it never rains but pours. how true. sucky things come in pairs and groups i tell you. so there were these 3 bankers who arrived at the office to see the finance manager and of coz, my duty is to serve them beverages. u think all guests politely ask for 'water pls, thank u' all the time instead of other fancy stuffs (1 of the banker guys actually replied 'gin and tonic' (it was 11am in the morning) and went ha-ha-ha-just joking, hot green tea pls. ok banker boy, u almost got me there. i must admit i was pretty stunned for a moment b4 giving a weak smile in response to his 11am in the morn joke (my momma has taught me to be a polite girl and we must always try to laugh at others' attempts at making a joke). so off i went into the pantry and ta-da!! guess what? no freaking green tea bags are available! that's freaking great isnt it. i just wanna serve 3 glasses of refreshments so why do i have the feeling that it is so difficult here huh. i know there are can green tea in the fridge though hence i called the finance mgr in the board room (where all 4 of them have already started their meeting). once she picked up i whispered to her discreetly: your guests would like to have hot green tea but we have none in the pantry so could i serve them cold ones instead? immediately i heard the chrous of replies from the banker guests: sure sure not a problem, followed by a little ha-ha-ha. i could die on the spot i tell u.. i'm on the freaking speaker!!! oh god, kill me. now these 3 bankers must be thinking that i am a no life lowly being whose main concern of the day is whether to serve cold green tea to guests or not. shittttt!!!! so there i was, carrying 3 glasses into the board rm (slow and steady now..) trying to push open the door with my shoulder (hands are unavailable). i realised that actually, i have no talent in serving drinks. i pulled out a chair from the table so that i could actually stand closer to the table to place the drinks down and happily, the chair which i had pulled out was spinning around as i kinda knocked into it. oh god...... and u know what is the ultimate worse thing? 1 of the bankers is so cute can! that's it. my life sucks. well if i could bloody serve 3 simple glass of drinks on the ground, FORGET ABOUT SERVING HUNDREDS OF PPLE 35,000 FEET UP IN THE SKY! i think god is trying to let me know that i am not a waitress by nature and if possible, be the one to be served instead of trying to serve other. the moral of the story is: always listen and watch for the little hints and signs that u r not cut out to be what u may always wanna be. when this happens....... pls do give up and find something elses to do which u are Actually Good In.

anyway i am really free now (obviously from my lengthy entry of monotonous happenings). in fact all the bosses and staff have gone out for a company sponsored chinese new year reunion lunch and no prize for guessing right who is the unlucky one who gets stuck in the office answering phonecalls and taking down messages. i console myself that hey! at least i am using work time to update my blog! that's pretty cool right? yup so The Office Temp, aka yours truly, was left behind and excluded from cny lunch but the upside is no one is spying on what i am doing. you can't have your cake and eat it too! (fine, i dun like no stinking cake anyway, ha!)

i have actually watched 3 movies in 5 days' time. 'The Mist' was really good. the kind of tot-provoking movie which makes u think a lot about life for about the next 20min. I feel so sad for the male lead in the show though. What he went thru in the end really sucks to the max. If one day I too shot all my loved ones in the heads to only find help arriving with the next 5 mins, i will go berserk for sure. for me, i thought about how, in normal times now, when food and other supplies are sufficient for all of us, we are ok. but imagine if humans are pushed to their limits, scared half to deaths and led into thinking that they are gonna die, it's really scary what some pple would do just to stay alive. human nature is really hard to comprehend. i once watched this show and this guy in it was asking: what is the biggest and most unpredictable thing in this world? is it the sky? not really. the sky is not that hard to predict actually. the weather only rains, shines or snow. then is it the sea? that's not correct either. bcoz the sea is either peaceful or choppy. it is the human heart, which is so vast and wide, you can never predict what others are thinking and the rationale behind what they do. i find this to be very true indeed. ghosts and monsters are scary but i think the most frightening should be human beings. we have insatiable greed which makes us want more and more and there is always a selfishness in all of us regardless of the extent, it does exists in varies degree in each individual. i guess that's why communism never work out.

another movie which i also caught over the weekend with my very lovely japanese ex-colleague was 'i am legend'. always had a thing for zombies movies although i am guilty of covering my eyes when zombies are having a killing feasts biting and chewing their ways into human flesh (Eww..). I'm surprised the zombies in this movie are not your typical stupid ones (think 'dawn of the dead') but they are actually really intelligent with the ability to set up traps and stuffs and boy do they move fast. anyway it was another movie which gets u thinking as well. if i am the only person left in this word when, come night times, flesh eating zombies roam on the god-forsaken streets by the millons, i think i'm gonna be so freaked out. i guess i would seriously toy with the idea of ending my life. strange how pple turn to suicide when they are faced with a crisis huh. i guess it's a very human part of us where we have no courage to face the problem and death will then be a rather appealing way out of the situations.

and last night, went to amk hub with shany to watch (i forced her) 'vanished', some cheap jap horror production with low grade scary scenes. i tot it was strange that it was not showing in gv cinemas but at the end of the show i understood why. it was crap. that kind bs which u have sworn and cursed time and time again never to waste your money watching B-grade horror flicks which have meaningless plots and lame effects. but well, i guess this is SG and having nothing much else better to do, we torture ourselves with lousy movies once in a while.

hmmm ok i am off to read some magazine now. i think i might actually miss this temp job a little after today.. after all, i have gotten to know the staff here during 1 week stint and they are honestly very lovely and sweet pple. even the ang mohs in the management turn out to be rather nice and not dao like i initially thought they were. it is also good to be relaxing and having really nothing much to do and getting paid for it but... nay... i guess i have to go back to a serious job soon or else i will be really sluggish and my brain might degenerate into mash in time to come.

I will remember this bunch of lovely pple though and my temp-ing duration here nevertheless.

last but not least, realise i have not posted pix on my blog for quite a bit. i have just changed hp and didnt really make the effort to install the software and stuffs to my pc so that i can upload my pix. i will do it soon! meanwhile, some pix of me and dawny from our outing last friday where dawny sweetie took pix of us at cable car (a rather nice drinking place which serves excellent chilled draft tiger beers) and i kapo-ed these pix off her blog. LoL.

ok so i know that my 'poses' are actually all the same. sigh so sad. must be more creative in the future. dawny is much much more photogenic than me and her cute little apple face always looks good in shots man. Awww~
