Sick Monday...

I have my reasons for saying that...ALL, ok VIRTUALLY ALL of my talk nonsense buddies at work fell ill...Haiz, cold, fever, headache, dizzy. ON MC =( Maybe it's because we are all telepathic, i fell ill too... Unfortunately, most of my team and i is out of sync. Despite a blocked nose, dizzy spells, all our terrific leader does is hand me never ending assignments and a day's grace to end it all. He even sent a someone to ask if i was done. How gracious.

Haiz. 6 simulations (but net = 3.5 since 2.5 were somewhat done...), 1 report (i forgot to update the content page...heeheee) and by the time i realized, time was up (i mean offical office hours were over at 5.30pm). Still, i felt a bit unbalanced, and developed a low and "sexy" voice by then...But then i never fail to feel bad when i leave at before 6pm.

Well, work's like that. Who am I to dictate what treatment i should be given? But then again, i feel sidelined. Once i hand them the work, i have outlived my use, and they quickly go into a meeting to discuss whichever values made sense or not. Good teamwork.

Thursday smells of...

Well well, it's approaching weekends SOON, and i am happy once again. Thing is, i keep thinking that thursday is friday...hahaha...how i wish that this is a wish granted. Had a good lunch today... And i hope that tomorrow will be even better. I think that at some point in time i have to go back on weekends even, but let's hope that it will not come so soon.

Loads of to-do list waiting for me to complete, but i always get home late and shag. Need a new phone, trading account and what not. Work wise, I have 1 week to tidy up 4 mths worth of backdated non- std documents. 1 week though, is an overly inflated time frame. Let's just see how. At my side, time frantically flies. Doing dunno what.

Had a piece of mooncake today from Marina Mandarin Hotel. 1 box $50 nia...I must say it is not bad, unlike those which i have tasted, all too sweet and gets me groggy after a while.

As for food in town, i must say the minimum denomination is $4.

Had pasta for $10; grilled fish rice for $5.5, char kuay tiao and oyster egg for $5.50. Kok lok mee for $4 today. Yeah!

As the old old saying goes, if you have nothing good to say about something, don't say it. I had nothing pretty good about my job, so i did not say anything about it for the past 3 weeks. In the fourth week now. Trying to learn as much as i probably can.

Work is tiring and stressful at the same time. That's an understatement. The standard is so high (or fussy), that i did not know i could reach. Still, it's not enough. But i guess i am enjoying the thrill of having to learn things which are thrown to me. It makes me think.
...
Today, i was sorta pissed with someone. I don't think all Malaysians are like that, but i just cannot stand this person's aloof-ness and lofty ideas. It could be that i never thought in the same perspectives as he did (and i would be very glad not to), but somehow, i get very provoked when they talk about Singapore in an extremely cynical and dangerous tone. Sounds a tad like their ex PM Mahathair, and i cannot fathom why they go to such lengths in making Singapore look bad. A matter of sour grapes perhaps?

Anyway, i am an advocate of PAP these few days- Pay And Pay.

Let's see...
Monday: $10 lunch, $5.50 dinner, $2.60 Bread;
Tuesday: $5.50 lunch, $2.30 dinner, $2.50 Bread, $13.45 grocery shopping;
Wed: $20 Top Up, $4.50 lunch, $24 haircut, $2.30 dinner, $6.70 eyedrops, $1 bread.

How much have i spent so far? Gasp!!! $100.35 within a short span of 3 days?! Food IS expensive. Sigh. And i spent $2098 recently on a laptop. I am so poor now~

Oh yes, another interesting thing i realized is that after 5.30pm, my office number gets "cut"...Like you know, you try to call and you get "thank you for calling. Our office is now closed...we are open from Mondays to Fridays...bla bl bla". U get what i mean. v fun! Out of sight, out of mind =) Such a long post with no photos. This is SO sad!
