do i need to be off the shelf soon since it seems like everyone is getting hitched.

SHOCKING

it's the national day.
i'm not feeling especially patriotic this year and i missed the whole annual parade.
then again, it's the same yearly so i don't think i've missed much, or rather, anything at all.

oldies gathering. we promised to meet up every year on national day.
most of these people, i know since i was 12.
dinner at mahanttan fish market, iluma. since it's opening, this is the first time i step foot inside. hmms, a tat disappointing.


met up with lenovo gang afterwards for chill session.
maybe i'm too used to the walk and talk with my girls wherever we go so i suggested we walk from marina to boat quay but by the end of it, the rest were half dead, cranky and sweaty. apologies.

had a hard time finding a place to settle down, eventually ending up at highlander.
i don't know why but there's always bound to be conflict whenever a bigger group of us turn up.
or maybe it's just that one smart alec who's so capable of causing misery.
slight verbal war started and tension lasted throughout the whole night. chain of things happened, my day was ruined too.
it's just too childish and meaningless.
seriously, what is the point in comparing who's more competent than who. and what's laughable is when you really see and realise the weaker person's desperate attempts to prove he's better.
it's time to grow up.

thanks to mum's new recipe, i woke up 5am today because the gastric pain was too unbearable.
headed to work still and almost departed from this world until after lunch where duck porridge, chengteng, mango soya, choc pancake and two of these pills saved my life.


now that the mum's evil concoction of weird stuff's out of the system, there is room for joyce's biscuits and pancake.
ok, i'm a little apologetic for always stealing her tea time snacks. i will make it up to you ms ang. :)

i can never get use to this job.
i go along with the monotony of every morn but most of the time, it is just too excruciating. many times i wish i could dump everything aside and go home.
only in my 2nd week but it seems as if i've been here for almost a month. i wonder how am i'm going to last for the rest of the contract.
2 months 12 days left.

the sole motivation i have is the pay cheque: "one day's wage = one week's allowance."
imbedding this into the brain is the only way i pull myself through the antagonising ho hum of work.

i'm coping, there is lesser need to skip lunch and go home late but there is no possibility that i might settle in eventually.

if you have problems not receiving your emails blame it on the system, not me.
if you do not receive your report, blame it on the ex-temp for not telling me anything, not me.
if reports are sent to the wrong person, blame yourself for not updating the system, not me.

yes i get it, i get it, i'm the temp aka get-blamed-for-every-single-shit-that-happens.
but i'm doing my best - i don't give a damn,yes, but i'm doing my utmost to make sure you people get your stupid reports sent on time.
don't i at least deserve a choc cupcake for all the labour i put in?

KONG WEI ZHEN!

truthfully, at first i thought there might be an extra member on the way.
next, i questioned your sanity.

but now, i can say i'm really happy for you. :)
