宪哥：吃饱还有什么禁忌，曹格来跟我们说一下。
曹格：再吃啊！

a day of many firsts.

i saw someone with the most obvious wig i've ever seen. or should i say, the first time i've noticed someone's hair is a wig. not cos it's the wrong colour (aka blonde or flat black), or that it's of poor quality, but very dumbly, of the way it's worn. zomg. i can't believe someone could ever put on a wig and not notice such an obvious outline! his grey and white sideburns and some fringe are showing from under that obvious outline. and it doesn't help that his eyebrows confirm what's his real hair colour. and last of all, the wig was made elvis-styled. so it just draws you to notice it, and eventually what it really is. but oh well. i shall stop here. cos according to Eleanor Roosevelt,

"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people."

first time i OT-ed so late. sometimes interdependence is not efficient at all. if i could, i'd finish everything in a day, myself. dun mind OT-ing for 4 days to have 1 free day man. sighhh. and maybe NS does make a difference. responsibility and maturity.

first time i waited for 3 trains before i could board during evening rush hour. the first train took 10 minutes to come. zzz. and i was there for the last 4. and i was acty contemplating gg back office to wait it out. or have dinner with the rest. but..whatever.

first time i didn't stop working for 8 hours straight, in my own office.

other than that, nothing much i have to write. here.

悠遊有宥

went to pc fair with colleagues ytd. E, J and X. on our way to the bus stop, we saw this whole class of sec sch kids maybe, looking like they're in their OGs, playing some games on the muddy tiled pavements of tg pagar. i almost felt like telling them i know how they feel..haha. so anyway, we lunched at this ultra fab place..called BAB sthg..at millenia..it's a jap-korean restaurant...and the kimchi is so nice~! first time i feel like i can finish rice with just that kimchi alone..but of cos, their other dishes v nice too..and we sat down there for damn long..just for the shiok wind..and when we finally made our way there, it was so crowded that there was a board with scrolling text telling ppl to "return in an hour", "due to overwhelming response to the IT fair".... -_-""" rubbish...since when is one hour different from another..it will still be as crowded! so we went, and started our 3-hour-long girl power hunt for the ultra-portable lappie and an external hard disk..so proud of ourselves..never knew we could decipher all the specs..woohoo~ in the end X bought this fujitsu one..with a free 2GB DDR2 upgrade..which we requested and was immediately acceded to.. -_-" they were that prepared to give freebies..so..yea..u ask, u get..and J got a seagate ext hard disk..and i bought a box of 50 DVD-Rs..haha. ^^ all around us were ppl buying printers and lappies and table-sized LCD TVs..

if only i could teleport..just once..i'd go to youjia's concert.. :(

dichotomy

yes or no. right or wrong. can or cannot. if only everything were so clearly divided..there would be so much less permutations we have to deal with..

after a terrible one-day stint at a particularly unpleasant dept in some lousy bank that was recently swallowed by another, i've come to appreciate my colleagues more..not that i didn't know before..but as compared to ppl outside, i think they're angels..time just seems to fly with them..life is simple and uncompetitive..perhaps it just happens to suit my mindset..my style of working..maybe ppl in the banking sector are supposed to be sharp-tongued and impatient and bossy in order to survive..and it is not a generalisation..cos it's an agreed sentiment among my colleagues who have worked with bank ppl before..so..shrug.

really must hand it over to my colleague, who can take all the shouting over the phone, in the face and behind her back like they're just irritating traffic..and also v touched that another consoled and changed perspectives for me for the whole morning..and cos of them i cheered up and chose to focus on the good instead of the bad..instead of brooding over how such inconsiderate ppl can exist, i can choose to look at the dearer ppl around me..who make my day everyday..i don't think many in the company have a particularly burning passion for what they're doing..but i'm sure one of the reasons they stay on is for the ppl who're there..never thought i'd go back after my PI..but now i don't deny the possibility..erm..that is if they want me back.. :S

i've been rather disillusioned and idealized lately..trapped in a world where only one thing is of concern at a time..focusing on one thing at a time..so..i could be going mad..pls beware.

it's march! the start of the birthdays cycle..whee~

yawn..i'm buffed. tatas.

as fate would have it,

Youjia's first ever concert is held during the only holidays I have my internship in...so I can't be there...but I'll be giving moral support from Singapore! I love you, jia!

my bro has the same bday as our PM, and mine, his son's...

I was in the ntu list of randomly picked ppl for a study done by my angel..and we just couldn't believe what the chances were...

X and I were talking abt fate tdy...

I walked over to chat with J, who was randomly and absentmindedly flipping thru a pile of annual reports, and we discovered this really cool-looking one with an embossed cover of a business suit, such that it made you feel like you're running your fingers over real thread sewn on paper..and the new idea for our annual report was born...

but how would you explain the coincidence of me choosing to wear a purple shirt today and discovering an annual report lying on the shelf, of the same shade, and with a cover of a suit, such that it would turn out like this???

who ever said annual reports were boring??

I said the day would have a turn for the better (: [refer to prev post]

ラベル: groundshaking discovery

my dream

no, i'm not referring to my colleague's name..cos i woke up feeling a tad disappointed that the wonderful dream i had, i remembered completely. which means it will not happen. i always wonder man, what they say abt remembered dreams not happening, is it restricted to what exactly happened in the dream? or the general idea..sadly enough, i dun always have them in my memory long enough to verify that..so i thought i should pen it down asap.

r is leaving..when they say life has its ups and downs, i fully understand that..cos my downs always come at an extremely sharp turn..i was still raving abt my work life ytd..and i got mad at one of them tdy. but anyway, as i was saying, i think i understand what he's gg thru, despite him saying i don't..i can feel the stress building up..i know alotof things being done are redundant and pointless without explanation, but i didnt expect the presence of nice colleagues can't alleviate the situation a little. it's good that you know what you don't want, r. i'll miss you..sob..

so that's all abt my little morning waking up disappointment. sigh. i'll get better. when i reach the office. (:
