i have been busy with work and design that i didn't have the time to blog.
at all!
firstly, my work is much better that the one i just quit.
this one is right smack by the singapore river, so yeah, in case i get so stressed up, i can just jump into the river to asphyxiate myself. i'm still getting used to it.
still missed my old colleagues..well, only Aida lah. Whom, i have lunch with almost everyday as she works pretty close by.
first day of work and i had to finish up some stuff for my freelance project.
thank god it's over.
For now.
finally got my copy of PROSAIC magazine. It's great! Can't wait for the next one.
i might be MIA for awhile.
Cos I'm going for a HOLIDAY!!!
Only 5 more days!! :D

Gone are the days when I could just hang out with my friends(having lunch, dinner, window shopping, or just lepak-ing), talking about everything under the sun, teasing, laughing and just having the time of our lives. Problems, worries, work, school and even life is forgotten. What matters is us, the laughter, the MOMENT. THAT moment. Such a kick I get out of it. An escape from reality, albeit a momentary one. Call it running away from your problems. Well, I call it bliss in ignorance.
Now it seems that everytime I went out with my friends, it has become more of a "let's-all-vent -our-work-frustrations" marathon. Instead of having a great time, all our frustrations are brought out in the open, making us remember about it while trying to "have fun". End of the day, instead of an escape, it's more of a confrontation. The only part I find true bliss was when someone turn off the lights of reality so I can escape into Hollywood.
Approx 2hr later, the harsh lights of reality almost blind my eyes.
Maybe this is growing up.
Maybe this is life.
Until then, I'm turning off the lights for an hour or two more.

I hurt you. You hurt me. We're even.
So I'm just doing this cos we started of as friends and it's a friendship that I don't want to lose. But here I am, doing my part. And you're just not doing anything. It takes two hands to clap. Whatever man. Happy Birthday and have a nice life.
What a twist for Survivor Palau.
Sweet, sweet Ian. When he made Tom promise to bring Katie to the final 2, that was the sweetest thing ever. Some of you think he's stupid, to give up a million bucks just like that. But he didn't lose his integrity. I'm really proud of him. Although I felt that NEITHER Katie nor Tom deserve the million bucks. It's a game, ALL of them have double alliances. Too bad Ian got caught! I just hate Tom's "holier than thou" attitude. He's attacking Ian about friendship, alliances and what not. Heck, Tom's just a great liar. At least, Ian got that gorgeous car.
On a brighter note, alhamdulillah, I was offered a job at another law firm. Haha.. yes ppl..I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I think I can never run from law firms. I'm scared. Very. I hope it's not bad like my old firm. Management and kerja so rabak. The pay's much much better though.
But I'm thinking of that Spiderman quote "Great power comes great responsibility". In this case it's "Great money comes great work"? I hope I could cope with this one. I was so lost when I was at the Finance company. I just have to pray and hope for the best. Funny thing, all the resumes I've sent after I left my recent job, only 2 called me up for interviews. This law firm that is offering me, I think I sent my resume to them like in April. So, it was really some sort of a miracle. I really hope this turns out good. Very short of cash!!!
I'll start on Tuesday. And they have no Internet access. So, looks like I might not get the chance to blog often. Lucky thing, I got this new layout up!

Juan: Aww...he's so sweet. You should find a guy like that.
Me: Well, ian has always been my favourite from the beginning. :D
Juan: Yeah, right! What about your alpha male? ;)
Okay, okay...so I did think Bobby Jon was drop- dead-beach-model-looking gorgeous. But Ive always felt he was a bit, what's the word? Shall we say, dense? Very himbo. (FYI - himbo : male version of bimbo). Yes, he was an eye candy.
But from the beginning I've always had a soft spot for Ian. The blond hair, pretty boy looks, nevermind the scrawny body. Plus he's a dolphin trainer. Dolphins are my weakness. But that's besides the point. He's always been a hard worker, he's pretty strong during challenges and we never get to see the political side as his tribe always wins. These few weeks we have seen the tribe splitting up alliances, but Ian has always been overall truthful. Plays the game well and as honestly as he could. Can't wait for the finals tonight. I'm not sure who's gonna win. It could be anyones game at this point. It was dissapointing that Steph could not have been the final two though. Meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Ian.

I sometimes wonder if I constantly crave that feeling. The feeling of knowing when you wake up the next morning, you leave all your problems, pressure and things you don't understand behind you. Waking to a fresh start with no consequences of what you did the day before.
Yes, I resigned. For the second time this year. And it's not even June yet!
I'm starting to think that I caught the job-hopping bug from some of my friends. But no. I'm not a quiter. Even though I felt the pressure working in my previous firm, a law firm, I actually endured for almost 2 years.
Maybe I'm a slow learner? But I could cope in my law firm. And we had deadlines too!
I have been ranting negatively about this job but see it's not that. I just couldn't deal with the workload. Too many paperwork and I couldn't figure out what is what. Imagine, 5 different work done by 5 different people is taught to me on my first week?
But it seems after I tendered, everything seems to make more sense and I am wondering if I made a mistake yesterday by resigning? But then I over heard that they were planning to actually give me more work.
EGAD!
Then I realize I made the right choice.
Did I mention NO RADIO RULE? Not even using earpiece or earphones!
Of course I break all the rules. I listen to the radio(hp), I go home on the dot (no point cos I can't claim OT), I came back from lunch late. Might as well enjoy my last few days eh?
What I miss about working here? Seeing the cool cars like these! But then, I've seen cooler cars while working at my old firm. Which is 10 minutes walk away.
