My question for the day is...

"Are you/Have you (realise)become a typical Singaporean?"

My answer ---Most likely!

What misfortune!

What do I mean by typical Singaporean?
Well,hear me.

See....When we were young,we kinda dread gg to school.
Of coz I dun mean all of us,at least I were,sometimes.
Perhaps it's nobody ever wakes me up,and i'm always alone before I set off for school..so feel kinda lonely and wish I will never step outta home.
That is all until poly times.
Well..I look fwd gg to NYP almost every day.Although I never like those lectures and tutorials,but I know I am the damn slacker that slacks like an ass yet still able to scrap thru the semesters.
Guess the friends there are the main source of why I enjoyed poly so much.

Now..working.
We hate mondays to fridays.
It's almost like our bodies are made of gold that we can hardly drag ourselves outta bed every morning.
We just cant wait to get our butts outta that place and kiss the sweetest goodbye to there.
(of coz there are pple who really enjoy their work.Why?Coz they got sky high pay,good work and nice colleagues!Think who I am referring to huh?)

But once we did..I dun think you actually feel as happy as you'd imagine urself to be.
Well..for me..I think I am the case.

It's not that I miss them or there.
But it feels kinda odd that I am handling everything I know how to do within my finger tips back to Grace.
It's like giving ur work away.
I spent the quickest time to grasp every payroll formulas and what to do,and always try to make as few mistakes as I can.
And I think I really picked things up fast.Well..maybe not.

It just feels weird~

I am a misfit there.To the pple,to the environment.
They are all kinda old for me.Their so called jokes,talks and everything..is really like a mile away from me.

And guess what Ratbert aka William,our despatch asst told me this morning.
He said that the New Park Hotel HR manager(there are 3 subsidaries in Spore.One is my hotel,the other New Park and the main one is Grand Plaza) asked me to switch to their HR to be the asst there.

Honestly..I am flattered.But I dun even know them.I think naybe he needs a new asst or so.
But again...Is New Park gonna be better than Park Royal?
Plus with my "reasons",what would Grace and co' think once they found up I job hop.

Not that it is within my plans la.But it sounds like "Wow~",money coming in again!

Honestly...I dunno what to do after this to con't my source of income.
Am I gonna get a tuition assignment?
I am not gonna slack thru the month right?
It feels absolutely horrible to stay at home and do nothing!

Oh that brings me back to what I am about to say.
After leaving..I feel sheepish.
Coz it is just not right and doesnt feel right to stop working and do nothing after u have commited urself to the society!

So isn't that very typical sporean?
Complain when u have work,complain when u have no work too.
-_-

I gotta find something to do la..at least to carry the flow of my income.
It is so easy to spend money,but so difficult to earn and save them.
Then it brings me to why I dislike rich asses!
Read me.
Not the Riches but the Rich ASSES!Who really can never travel ard like no one biz,and still sit back and complain abt life!
Yes,I am jealous~so what!
Bitch me la~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly really bitchy!

Yng asked why she cant comment on my blog,so I put on a tag board for her.
But really no point for this when it is only Jason and her who visit my blog.
Really feel like opening my blog to the outside and sees who actually bother to read.

But sometimes my blog is kinda personal.
I dun think I like pple reading about some really personal stuff about me.

Well..whatever la.
But if there are really exception that others did really chance upon here,drop a tag.;)

Like some months ago,actually got a few foreigners who chanced upon here.
Miss Ms Crayon's blog most!(Although she doesnt blog now.)

She got one of those best blogs ard,as if u r reading a story and can literally see what she is blogging about.

So to end off..I shall let u read one of her past entires,and u will get what i mean. ;)
Enjoy!

Nocturnal Walks
Yay!!!! the day is nearly over, its 5:20pm, and i am getting ready to leave work.

Anyway, I am about to meet Jamin-kun in at The Rocks, and we will walk home!!

This is a BIG thing, as walking home means walking over the massive Sydney Harbour Bridge, then all the way through Kirribilli, (maybe past the Prime Ministers house! Shout some anti-war slogans at him while he's having a bath!!) and then up through the suburbs to our little town house.

Ahhh, good excerise, and should compliment beautifully my lovely Yoga class from last night.Anyway, so we shall be walking through the darkness, for about an hour.


I love these sorts of walks because you can smell all the different types of smells of people cooking, laundry being washed, the sharp scent of leaves and dirt and flowers in the darkness.And of course, you can see into people's windows. I love that.

People with their lights on in the living room, the kitchen, their bedrooms.
You can see right in.People sitting together, oblivious to my searching eyes...among things I have seen on my walks at night after work are..... a young couple with their heads slightly touching as they look at something in the newspaper on the couch; a mother helping her son on the computer; a guy twirling his girlfriend (maybe) around his living room and her laughing a shouting; a little boy sitting in a window sill with his cat, just looking at his own reflection in the glass; hundreds of people washing up; a guy playing computer games; an old man watching the news on TV.Its simple, but very moving to see these people who are so human, living their lives as best they can.

It is humbling.Its 5:30 now, Jamin-kun calls, and a nocturnal walk it is.....until tomorrow....
