My first facial!

I'm turning 21 this year and up till last evening 5.45pm, I have not done a single professional facial. Girls out there stop snickering. I know it's funny but yup! And so.... I spent 600 bucks on a facial package that's gonna last me for maybe 6 months? For girls i guess this is an investment we've got to make. Oh wells.

The past week had been uneventful. Mahjong sessions became a weekly program for us. We've been Mahjong-ing on Fridays for the past 3 weeks. Won some money and then some. It is the 'and then some' I think I shouldn't talk about. =)

CNY's just next week. I think I'll totally skip all the visitings this year. They are getting far too "ley-cheh" for me. I bet my parents will start nagging at me about traditions and stuffs once I told them my decision. Which will only happen on CNY eve. Don't want them to start nagging sooner. So date me people! Ask me out if you're intending to skip visiting too! :)

I just came back from the library, bringing back one of Sidney Sheldon's classics. His books are read mostly by guys when I was in Secondary School. Apparently, Sheldon's books has a reputation for its explicit adult details. I read my first Sheldon novel, "The Other Side of Midnight" when I was still in Polytechnic. Coincidentally or not so coincidentally, it is also the classic I just brought home from the library. Yes, I have this habit of re-reading novels and re-watching movies. Sometimes you will notice new details or understand the novel/movie better when you read/watch them the 2nd or 3rd time. As for me, it is usually more enjoyable the 2nd time.

Sheldon's books are most of the time un-putdownable. His books amazingly hynoptizes the reader as he brings distinctive characters alive, which is why he's one of my favorite novelists of all time. As for his reputation for writing books with explicit adult details, I couldn't agree more. But wait wait, he writes them not in a 3rd rate pornography way but in a very sophisticated and erotic manner. If you're looking for a good read, "The Other Side of Midnight" is wildly recommended.

Thursday Blues

Ever since I joined the working society, my life simply flashed through like bolts of lightning. Everything seems so fast paced, sometimes I don't even know how to catch up anymore. My life has become a routine consisting of work, eat and sleep. Working took up 9 hours of my day. Bloody hell. Do you know how long that is? I cannot believe that I will be spending 3/4 of the rest of my life slogging for that one damnest thing that affects everybody's life, Money.

I've known since young from my parents that making money is not easy. But I've never imagine it to be so damn hard. I always thought that if I excel in my work, if I do well on my part, I will be regconized and appreciated. But apparently, this is not the case. My stuck up boss will never be satisfied. I think he don't even know what the hell I've been doing for the past 6 months. Because in his eyes, there's only somebody else.

Lesson 101 to do well: Kiss everybody's asses. But sadly to say, I am not the person to do it. I just can't bring myself to do it. It makes me sick to my stomach just by thinking about it. It is so damn sad I tell you, having to pretend that you like the person ALL THE TIME even though you seriously feel like kicking him in the gut. But what to do? People will still do it because it'll help them in their career. People help you with an agenda. They want something in return, and if you have none to offer, get the hell out of their way. I guess this is just the reality of the society. But seriously, this is pathetic.

It is just so hard to get me interested once I've totally lose interest in my work. I'm getting a new job. And this time, I'm not going to give a hoot about what others say about my choice. I landed into this shit because I cared too much about what others think of what I do. This time, I am going ahead with what I want.








P/S: Cruel as it is, I'm glad that there are still some kind souls out there who are willing to help whenever possible.

I ain't fakin' it.

Hi all. I think this is my 13466900753th blog. The previous ones never worked out. I hope this one will. =) Ning's been asking me to create a blog because she never knows where are my whereabouts. That's true, cos I've not been to the latest 2 meetups with the girls. Sorry girls! and I owe you guys tons of birthday presents I guess. Hehe.

Anyways, everything went pretty ok for me in 2008. But 2009 seems uncertain for me. I've been thinking of doing this and that for 2009 but everything cannot be confirmed. I want to continue my studies, but specializing in what? I don't know. I want to continue working in my current company till I figure out what I wanna study but due to the current recession, I'm on the chopping board for retrenchment. What's next? I don't know. There are just too many 'I don't knows' in 2009.

Something to be joyful about, I've made a few good pals while working. Missy, Selena, Kavin, Marvin etc.. Work will be so damn boring without them. All the after work activities and gossips sure spiced things up! Hehe. Am lookin' forward to the mahjong session after work this friday! =)

I think it's really time to meet up with Ning and the girls. Please fix a date soon!! Yeah I think it's enough for the first entry. Too tired to blog any further after fixing this bloody blogskin for almost 5 hours.







P/S: Congrats darlin, for passing your TP! =)
