TODAYIt's strange how the headache ceases when 5.30pm comes.
It's strange how while eating pizza in a grp, one could still feel alone.
It's strange how time flies when you stop looking at it.
Couldn't smile at work today. Wonder if its the fact that the only 20 something year old colleague is leaving today. How can I remain perpetually mute the whole day I don't know.
If I could combine the colleagues in sg pools with the pay in the current one, it'll be the best of both worlds really.
Someone inject me with endorphins please. =(

Two days after Vday at Sg Pools which I still do work on Saturdays... one of my guy colleagues Jamie gave Anais and I EACH this. A handmade Ferrero Rocher bouquet and a test-tube with Happy Valentines' Day written inside. Alot of heart and effort. Made us feel loved. Thank you I appreciate you because thoughts were put into actions to make our day.

There's a rush of guilt flooding my senses. Called X not half hr ago. A slpy voice greets me. And then I wonder if recommending X to be in the same position as I was until 2 weeks ago from a sucky job that distorted my daily life, caused me to sleep at 6am and wake up at 4pm and not have a life at all is really a good idea after all. X could be in a better job status and have more regular sleeping hours and a basic salary had I not recommended this godforsaken job to X. Heard my heart break. Into m a n y pieces.

As I sit at my office desk and contemplate the past week, I seriously cannot believe that one week has already passed since my previous entry. My life these days is what I would describe as regular. Regular in the sense of -fussing over what office clothes to wear every night
-slping before 12 midnight
-not bothering to use the internet at home
-nuaing when I reach home on my couch
Apart from all these, I am actually alil conversation deprived as well. I have not spoken much to most of my colleagues for the simple reason the chinese women there are all Malaysians and they are so not my frequency. The other women are 2 malays, one indian and one indo-chinese. Speaking to the indian is fine except we sit prolly like 20metres away from each other since I handle recep. Indo-chinese woman is leaving the company and I'm actually a tad worried since I go for lunch with her and once she's gone, I'll prolly start fasting since I really hate eating alone during office lunch hours.
The other remaining men on my floor are
-2 chinese (one hokkien bespectacled beng and the other 5.30pm knock off exactly alarm clock)
-1 ang mo(old and wrinkly, looks like Einstein's younger bro)
-2 japanese (my cute 50 something yr old boss and an even cuter Jap designer hehe)
I kinda wonder what to expect from working in my current company for the next two years. I'm definitely thankful that this job came at the right time. In addition to the fact my regional director boss is one of my best friend's mum and I have been favoured. Often I'm blessed with food to bring back home for my dad so I don't have to fuss about whether despite my tired day I should cook dinner and what nots.
Going back to the point of conversation deprived, yesterday I had a good long half hr talk with my male nx door neighbour. It seems fine for me to talk to my neighbour except for the fact that he is 85 years old this year. We talked about treasuring life, religion, family and spending time wisely. Also talked about the demise of his cat who has been staying with the family for 18 years. I do miss the one blue one green eyed white feline alot these days. No meows n rubbing against me greeting me when I return home from work. Terrible feeling. *shakes head
Also, spoke to my brother for quite a good long time last night. And I do realise how awesome it is to have an older brother to discuss issues with and talk about common interests. And at the end of these conversations, I also realised how good conversations and talking to loved ones can take my mind off the stress of work and the day itself.
Another season of my life with a great many changes. And its really only february. I somehow feel that alot more is in store for my life. I'm thankful for not having any emotional baggage or nonsensical insecurities to shroud my joy right now.
It's back to work with updates of pictures soon I hope. =)

Blessed Friendship Day to all my beloved friends. I celebrate the friendships I have forged with so many people all the past 22 years of my life. These memories I hold so dear and so priceless. Am going to cook a delectable spread for my beloved today coupled with red wine, blue cheese and good old dvds to boot.
Some updates about my life. I am currently working in a japanese company full time. But work ends early like 5.30pm so I do have alot of free time. Uni lessons start agn in May. If I haven been blogging often thats coz my comp has been infected by some virus.
I believe I'm entering a new season in my life and am really enjoying the process. I don't really focus alot on the bad in life because there really is so much good to be thankful for. I do miss working in Sg Pools alot since my two close bro n sis are always there to make the shift worth enduring. But then again even as Daddy God positions me in a new working environment, I choose to step in with faith, trusting that He has the best purpose and plans for my life. The salary, working hours, job scope are really good. My jap boss has been very generous with me as well. And following Japanese labour laws, my pay increment is on march 31st. So so blessed really. Moving on and temporal daily separation from my close friends in my previous job can only be a sign that change is needed in order for growth. A few special love notes to some beloveds.
Dear Anais, on this special day of love and friendship, I thank God that you have been supportive and understanding to what is needful for my life right now. Change is never easy but I'm secured that no matter where we are and we do, our friendship is protected. God has position us in each other's lives not just to be close at the workplace but for a far divine purpose than that. You are loved everyday by me so always know that distance is not a measurement of the love we share in this God-given sistership.
As my beloved bro, John begins mugging with His wisdom, I pray that you see His love and mercies for you ever so tangibly every day. May you come to fathom the height, depth, width and length of His selfless love and depend on Him solely for support and strength. My offer every friday night still stands you know. =) Dearest John, at the end of the day its not how much you have tried to absorb but the realisation of who you are IN Him. Not what belongs to you but in WHOM do you belong to.
I have come to realise that love is selfless and bears no malice. Giving, pure and blameless and His love for me gives me real hope and faith to face every uncertain tomorrows in my life.
Alright back to work, more photos will be up when my comp gets fixed.
Much love. <3
