I believe I got electrocuted by my lappy when I lifted the lid. It was this weird tingling sensation and unsure of what it was, I poked my index finger at the latch area again and this time the sensation was much stronger. I withdrew my finger in a hurry (of course)....okay my finger was kinda damp cos fresh out of shower...I'm basically just asking for it.
I think I am obsessed with work cos I dreamt of it for the last 2 nights. Obsessed not as in the I-love-to-work kinda attitude, more like I am swamped with it and I dunno quite how else to handle it partly cos of the back-to-back booking with one tight deadline job wedged in the middle of a big shitty job. What the hell, I'm just looking forward to CNY (if there is one). To be fair, things ain't that bad AS YET..I have encountered worse shit in my short employment history. Okay I'm going to enjoy what's left of my weeknd now. :)
Cheers.

lazy sunday
I slept quite a fair bit over this weekend. Although it was plagued with ridiculous nightmares but I shall not go into that. The reason why I choose to rest is cos I'll be going for my biggest job of the peak starting from next week. Urgh. I foresee no rest after that so might as well....it is good to just lie on the bed and have a good eye shut. Isn't it so? First weekend I don't have to do any work and possibly the last. It was a good 1.5 weeks minus the lousy senior...I say well if every job is like my first peak job, this peak would be good. But then again, good things are by far few...haha so....I'll just hang in there and countdown to May then.

when the going gets tough the tough really goes shopping
I got meself a red purse/wallet yesterday...hehehe..the current one was bursting and didn't have enough slots for cards (not that I have many cards but more of random shit like Topshop/Joop/or any other nonsense that gives discounts or vouchers after n number of purchases, you get my pt). I am not really obsessed with red, it's not bright red, kinda like dark red/maroon kind of feel.
Anyway I have exceeded my expenses, thoroughly burst my budget, if there is one in the first place....and I haven't bought a single piece of CNY clothing yet. I figured I better start hunting for clothes now since I foresee myself peaking/dying in the next few weeks. Ended up adding more clothes to the work wear department. I try my darnest to differentiate between work wear and going-out wear as somehow work wear feels like a uniform haha and I feel sucky wearing the same old thing I wear to work during weekends. Sigh. No nice CNY casual-doesn't-look-like-work-wear clothes leh. The few stores that I always go to are still on Autumn/Winter sale meaning the Spring/Summer 2007 collection is still by far, few and miserable. I guess I'll have to try my luck in the next few weeks' to come and AFTER payday before I make myself bankrupt by making advances. Even if i'm dying...well let's see. The future is unpredictable.

Then you call my name and I know inside that I love you
Probably a line to a song from 7 years back. Can't remember. But it echoes the feelings of a seventeen year old girl back in the year 2000. Revived her online diary from 7 years back and browsed through a few entries. Feeling a little nostalgic and well, a little sad. In any case it is just a teenger's senseless problems and ramblings, nothing compared to the real shit in the real world. But given a choice, I would rather stay in fantasyland.
Gonna drag myself out and do a little shopping. Another line from the online diary, when the going gets tough the tough goes shopping. But the tough needs moolah.

the overdue 2006 entry
Here is the long over-due 2006 entry.
I'm not that lazy nor unmotivated k...I already wrote out the entry in my book diary and am now transferring the paraphrased excerpts here. I penned the entry on the 2nd day of the new year and here goes.
Evidence of how little I wrote in my book diary. 10 pathetic entries for the whole of 2006 and the bulk of it was on my sad work life. Roundup of 2006...I think it was pretty crappy and boring so to speak judging from my 10 boring entries for the year.
I believe the whole of 06 revolves on how much I wanted to get out of the previous firm and move on to other (browner) pastures.
Jan-March 06 was holed up in this big job and slept an average of 3-4 hours per day. The job wasn't difficult but the staying up was. Teared in cab rides home but forged great friendship with the team.
I started to whack the job market as early as April 2006, immediately after the HK trip. Went for my first interview of the year and wasn't shortlisted cos I probably asked the wrong questions. I.e Career progression when clearly there was none.
July 2006. Taiwan trip with joyce. Enjoyed myself despite the sweltering summer heat. Fantastic food+shopping+harrowing experience on Jetstar.
August 2006. Back to the same job that took up my first quarter of the year. Ewwww. Didn't stay as late this time round cos I brought back work to do. Anyway I was already treating it as my farewell job as plans to leave were more or less finalized. However in the same month, I missed a call for interview and blamed it on my extreme bad luck. But another opportunity came knocking and I left my first job in Sept 2006. That was the beginning of my greatest nightmare which shall not be named. And well the rest of the story are documented in past entries so I shall not delve more into them. This is a part of history that I would like to leave buried and forgotten.
A few have told me that if I can survive 1 year++ in first firm, I probably can survive in others. But since I almost died-ed in one, nothing's for sure. Armed with a dented confidence that would take some time to recover, I embark on my 2007.
No, no resolutions. I am lying. Okay does resoluting to go to Seoul in 2007 count?

1st post of 2007
My new year's eve was rather unhappening. Maybe I should have just stayed home and watch the Taipei countdown instead.
In my attempt to join in the crowd at the over-hyped the cannery....okay basically I wanted to check out the kandibar cos I was attracted by the deco and reviews but it was fully reserved. Silly me. Didn't want to sit at the window bar table and ended up at MOS instead. Big, big mistake since the music stinks big time irregardless of what room. Didn't get high, wasn't even artificially high and that was how I spent my 2007 with lousy music minus the fireworks. I should have been outside. Now come to think of it, when I walked past kandibar and heard the music blaring from outside, it seems like the same trancey sort they have in mos yikesss....the clinic was just as sucky.
Then I couldn't get a cab back at 4 plus in the morning despite walking up and down and getting into some NR, dropping off somewhere and still couldn't get a cab. Ended up at an all night Hong Kong style cafeteria to have an early breakfast. Stupid cafe tried to overcharge us by 30 dollars by making us pick the tab of another table's. We may be 3 sleepy auditors but we aren't blind as yet. Hence reached home at 6 plus, dropped dead at 7...woke up at 12 noon and was feeling crappy the whole day. But the afternoon's nap later on cleared things up abit and I was able to get some work done in the evening.
I know I mentioned about some reflective entry in the previous entry but well I'm lazy and I'm not in a very reflective mood at the moment. Maybe some other day since it is already overdue so what the heck.
