My life so far.

It's the start of a mundane life. Or rather, a structured system to follow. Strictly 9am - 6pm, Mondays - Fridays. You know that kind of sh*t. Not that I mind, really. The lifestyle I used to lead spins my biological clock out of control and I dread it. So a mundane's life is good.

Apparantly the only concern most of my friends showered on me was mainly about my punctuality issue. Boy, be surprised!... Cause I was hardly late for work. I cross my heart on that... *beams* I mean with a hefty price tag of $25 (cab fare) to you just lazing around in your bed for another 15mins, is it worth it?

With many aspect of my life getting back on track, the path ahead do look rosier than before. Project Eclat has its headstart recently and I got a new laptop to celebrate it (haha.. erhmm my iBook can't keep up with the times already). I have been reconverted back to being a PC user because I think the new MacBook is just too over-rated and, of course, the price would have busted a big hole in my pocket.

There are many more of these mundane things I could have blog about if I were to go on.. Like how teenage angst VS menopause blues... It's total mayhem if you are living through a storm in the teacup. Argh.. What I meant simply means dealing domestic squabbles. But I will probably leave this whole drama to another day. Ciao!

p.s.: in case you haven't notice, "mundane" is one of my pet phrase. Have a mundane monday!

Bliss of a seemingly mundane day

This was one of those days that made me felt right.

Start of day
---------------------
- Woke up at noon (slept 9hrs *woohoo*)
- Lunch (prepared by mom) was ready
- Watch a light hearted movie with my bro
- Family dinner (pretty rare)
- A night out with friends
- Blogging about it
----------------------
End of day

Probably mundane to some. Or maybe it felt different to me as I shed away from my previous job to embark on a new one. It is days like this which makes me want to restore order in my life.

I told myself that I want to:
- be more self conscious
- not lose my cool regardless of any circumstances
- have spend more quality time with my family
- start an actual saving plan for my retirement.
- have time in the morning to eat proper breakfast
- be early on all occasions
- have that essential 8 hours of sleep everyday
- do my laundry before the basket over flows
- keep my room tidy

I have a few more points to add to the list but I can't remember all of them. Actually, I think what I want to achieve is just basics of what a responsible adult should possess. Yup, I have to admit that I am kinda failure in that sense. I just turned 24 this year and I live in the mentality of a 18 yr old. I am not ready for adulthood, yet like many others, I was thrown into the society and learn how to battle with my own differences. Oh, I had a bumpy one and I'm more ready than ever to smooth things out! *Beams*

Will update more about my new job in my next entry. :)

The 6 months hiatus

Gosh... Blogger almost shut down my account. I had to go on a 6 months hiatus from blogging (or doing anything on leisure) due to the long working hours of my current job. My writing skill has deteriorated (yup... I have to spell check this word), so pardon me on those grammar errors. There are so much to express over the past 6 months.

I moved from the Shenton Way Torture House to the Teletubbies Innovating Lab (TIL is filled with tubby people). It was sure an interesting experience, but I wouldn't say I had hell of a time. (More like just HELL...) I have got this weirdo who would just sit behind me and watched me work quietly. And the other thing that freaked me out, he found my blog address from friendster (I didn't even add him to my list) and read every single entry in it. He did warned me about TIL being something like (or even worse) the SWTH but I just pushed his comments aside. 6 months down the road, I had to admit it.. He was right.

Right now, serving my month's notice (yes yes... you don't have to repeat yourself, I am "job hopping") and pretty much invisible and valueless in the tubby's eyes, I realised why I even think this is the perfect job for me initially. The new designers are eager to please and with the boss, they are practically rubbing each other's ego. Trust me, I used to feel that way before when I actually felt that there was such a nice/ compassionate boss in the midst of all that cruel practicality in our society. Well... It didn't take very long to break down that facade. Life works in cycles.

I am moving on my new job with an open mind and I had to overcome my punctuality issues (erhmmm "overcome" is not strong enough a word, the right word is "erradicate"). It is going to be a 9am-6pm kinda job so I am going to have more work life balance aka social life after work.

Backside itchy
--------------
Actually the fortune teller told me to stay put in my current job cause my luck will change for the better beginning next year. But I trust in God that he placed this job offer in front of me as alternative to get out of the situation I was in. I'll leave it to God and the fortune teller to face off as I find out about the truth (if I am actually happy with my new job) in a few month's time.

P.S.: I am rooting for God! Amen...

Queen - It's A Hard Life

Well, it's an old sappy, emo song everyone can relate to once in a while...

Queen - It's A Hard Life

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart

This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone

You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart

It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love

I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone

How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love

Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love

Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in ev'ry way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love

A Clown's Life

Cry as you might... You'll still hear the laughter, for He cannot differentiate your joy from your cries.

The life of a clown is full of mockeries. The show will be over in no time...
