Since I came back from my short getaway, I had been looking around for a job. Jobs came about rather easily this time... Although I may not be as lucky as some of my classmates who have landed good jobs, I truly believe my turn will come soon.. *damn, it had better come soon!!!* So I was offered this position that paid more and gave me a different exposure... only one thing was not good about it... the location... Jurong Island... You can read more about it here. Most ppl tell me I'm stranded on the island.. yes, indeed... company shuttle buses come and pick you up everyday at 8am from Clementi and takes them 10 mins to get to the island checkpoint, you go thru the detectors and scanners everyday, hop back onto the bus and goes on another 20 mins journey to the company... same goes for the trip back... lunch is a simple affair at the canteen downstairs.. only one stall and not my favourite.. so I've decided to stock up my own lunch.. maggi mee... instant soup, titbits... anything that can stop me from growling... so the days go on like this... you go to work on the dot, have maggi mee lunch, get off work on the dot... the simple routine lets me wonder what do I truly want...
Some women would want a simple life.. a job, a bf/husband, some kids, financial support and they're happy... some want more... sometimes i wonder if i should start wanting more for my own life... while looking at others who have done better than me in their lives, i wonder what is it that I have missed out... while others have stayed in the same job for the past X no of years, I've moved around from job to job, industry to industry... I've learnt more than most of them.. at least I know how to handle a printer jam much better than the rest... at least I know how to on the auto filters in an excel sheet.. *yes, i've met ppl who do not know how to, TWICE!* I have friends from many different walks of life.. not just colleagues from the same industry... so this is how I justify moving from job to job is good...
Just the other day, a friend was telling me that a lot of time, ppl will do things behind your back because they think it is for your own good... this caused me to think... a lot of times, ppl tell me, i do this bcos it is for your own good... some of them do not even tell u at all.. they just do it and expect u to thank them later in life... i wonder, how would you know it is for my own good if you are not me? Being somebody who likes to bump and knock into things before I learn my lesson, I hate ppl to do things that is for my own good... I need a convincing reason before I accept... i think i'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes...
I had a nasty encounter with a big fat roach last night... was watching tv and walked into the kitchen for some water when I saw this big, fat roach staring in my face... took me by a surprise and yes, I guess the roach had a surprise too... quickly scrambled towards the ceiling... and i ran to scream for my mom and brother, who happily ignored me... i had no choice but to ask my two lazy bums to help me exterminate the roach... well, conclusion, after a lot of screams later, they did not get the job done.. the roach scot free... grumbled at the two of them for a long long while before i decided it is safer to hide under my blankie and go to bed.. far far away from the roach.. these are the kind of times which men come in handy.. *Correction: men who are NOT afraid of roaches...
I was out meeting LJK club friends today... chatted for a good 1.5hrs.. it's nice to have some things in common...they are trying to organise a trip to Seoul this yr end... esp before LJK goes into army next yr... I'm not sure... still hopeful about going to visit Cubix end of the yr... although the chances are slim, i'm still keeping the option of going to visit her open... i dun want her to whack me when she comes back... shall see how things go... haven't been talking with cubix for a while too... sometimes i just do not feel like talking at all...
oh well, gotta go prepare for bed now... ever since i stopped tuning myself to India time, bed time has been rather early.. the latest is prob 1230...in case I miss the bus to work!
Update: Singapore got its first silver medal after 48 yrs.. thanks to the table tennis girls..
