irony of it all
gosh! it seems like forever since i've last updated.

it's kinda funny how i get much less sleep when i work mornings despite the fact that i end at three. and yes, i have to reach work at seven. it's worse than going to school cos i have to wake up so much earlier. i still enjoy working morning shifts though as time pass quickly and i can have a semi-life.

went for oec during the labour day long weekend. it made me realise how much i miss odac activities. while crossing the sea to ubin, i suddenly had the incredible urge to go kayaking. one thing though: try not to go over to ubin on your own. waiting for the required 12 pp to take the ferry takes forever. to put it mildly, it was an eventful oec. it was incredible the number of injuries we managed to sustain over the two day period. the weather was freaking hot though. in fact, us j3s could hardly sleep even though we could. so much so that me carol win and ms tay decided to try to bathe at 3 am in the morning in not-so-complete darkness. totally un-glam the things we did but the result was worth it. hahas..

slept for more than 12hrs after that. i think i'm growing more and more to be a pig. anw, the amt of sleep seemed to have short-circuited my brain. cos i went on the shopping spree after i woke up and spent all of my march OT pay. in two hours. i shld cut down on shopping alone in order to save money.

basically, spent the rest of the days working my ass off. ok, exaggeration. not that i mind working. honestly, being in my current line of work has changed my perceptions on a lot of things. like how education does nothing to some people. an example:

customer- (after staring at the menu forever, ignoring my presense despite the fact that she waved me over in the first place) "soft drinks are soft drinks. how can soft drinks be called sodas?"
*note: coke, sprite and coke light are classified under soda in the menu

me - (trying to resist the incredible urge to strangle her)

seriously, talking to such people makes it feel as though my IQ has dropped 20 pts instantly. and such people i speak off are well-educated and rich. i guess possessing platinium or what-have-yous cards and yadda-yadda high ranking posts made them lose their basic courtesy and respect for others somewhere along the way. i feel sorry for them.

there's this hidden story teller/script-writer in all of us. i can write a book based on the stories me and my colleagues cooked up about each other. everyday is so drama-ish. the thing is that my job is not without problems and frustrations (in case anyone thinks that i'm living in lala land) just that i've decided not to let bad things bother me so much and focus on the positivities. i dread becoming one of those cynics i meet daily.

oh... and thanks for ur concerns guys. i got into the course i chose. though i've yet to decide on which uni. leaving things till last min as usual.
