subject: 2nd entry of the day. wow.

well, despite my resolution to be more conscientious in my career, to stop messing around, quit giggling randomly, and project a more "reliable" image; work has become such SUCH a drag these days! teetering between data entering and 2nd level checks. every morning, it's the same shitte. i brisk walk into the office to make it for the 8:30am punch in time (not officially, but ppl do talk if i'm consistently late), switch on my compy, make my first (out of about 6 pckts daily) cuppa, check my lotus notes (email accnt) and set to begin my morning, tapping fab numbers away, of course, sipping 3-in-1s.

the rate/ time i'm spending in front of my compy, i'm going to eventually go blind. AND, i think i would go psychopath if i dont have an outlet aside from this! i need to go crazy and do something outofthisworld (or something un-kin). go on another holiday doing brainless things, or have a dejunk-ing session soon! i am so bored at the humdrum of my life, i'm driving myself nuts! work ends at 6 and i'm ready to just scream with pent up . .. something. i really do sympathize everstar* for getting hitched as my venting machine. he just doesnt realise it yet. teehee* kidding hun =]

at least i was brilliant enough to migrate to this side of the cabin. see, my previous compy was trash, as in, it would freeze amidst my most important work and not auto save; hence me-lose-2-hrs of work!!! urgh! ... right. so, one morning, about 3 weeks ago when i came back from my 2 weeks off, i asked the doc if i could shift cubicles and without the slightest qualms, she said OK. sure, i was going to miss "our graffiti wall" (a set of OHP transperencies we nailed onto the wall in my ex-cubby as a pseudo-white board for our random rants and venting outlet), but there was no way i was gona stay in that cubby and let the new RAs (we're recruiting) have the gd compy (with scanner and all!). so yep! at the present moment, other than the barren wall to my left (because the dudes from aesthetic shifted the "dividers" around to accomodate for newbies coming in soon, so i have a gaping plank of wood as my wall on my left - WHICH was meant to be fixed last week!), my new space is actually pretty cool. waiyen, Stats-God a.k.a genius-from-mars will be my "peeping tom", cohabiting the cubicle behind me. but that's not for another month or so. so, till then, i have enough space to even do starjumps! woooo*

sigh* this might be a tad bit obvious but, almost a whole yr on, and i still miss melbourne like mad. and sham, (i cldnt tag back a reply because y'all know my tagboard's redundantly retarded), perhaps the reason why i'm so hard up for melby life is cos of the suppression here. it could just be me, but i felt so much free-er back there. people don't judge and u can be whatever you wanna be (and not be criticised). it's not so much the matter of independant living or that i wasnt living in with my parents (maybe a lil bit), but just everything. EVERYTHING and anything is so liberal. whilst, here, i gotta watch what i say, what i do, even what i earn can be a blow up issue (for the folks anyways). so much is placed in face value in MY life here. i swear, if u dont want your kids to think for themselves, DO NOT send them abroad!!!!!!!!!!

went to a Jacob's Cafe at Changi village earlier in midday for lunch with chrissy, carynn and yuexiang. chrissy and carynn had sausages, yuexiang had shepherd's pie and i had fish&chips, which came with a bowl of tomato soup and roll with butter. the service was brilliant, ambience was very "lygon st. cafe" style, and the food was spectacular too (albeit fittingly, pricey). i was very impressed.

issit just me or has singapore turned up the notch on the heat of late? dayummm... like it wasnt hot enough before. alrightey. i gotta get back to work now. sigh* and it's only a wednesday. i'm not meeting everstar tonight. so, i'm goina head straight home (for once), have a long hot shower and watch cable OR fix a favourite vcd, have an early night tonight. yay*

oh. and happy 18th birthday to my one and only brother, haikal. despite it all, i love you, you idiot.
