survived 13 days of work since the start of the new year

one more week of endurance before probation ends

in comparision, studying days are indeed better

nonetheless, work isn't that bad as it may seem

at least it's a whole new experience

actually, one can never escape from the 'clutches of work'

try studying all your life and not work...

your parents would rather kill upon your birth...

getting familiarised with my work, i guess

with errors minimised, and efficiency maximised

i've never hated using computers that much until now

using computers for 9hours a day, five days a week is indeed...

A NIGHTMARE!

i suppose i'm mixing well with my colleagues

but somehow, it's still quite hard to start a conversation at times

(given the age gap of around at least 7 years)

in their eyes, i'm perhaps just still a kid

with no prior working experience

neither do i have expectations of my work

(since i've nothing to compare it with)

besides, office politics is just beyond me

selfish it may seem to only listen and not contribute,

but that's the way it has to be

small frys are not in any position to comment

what for step on the toes of others

and eventually situate youself in a precarious environment

(i didn't eavesdrop. they said it openly in front of me.)

perhaps the most 'clicked' moment was yesterday

four people dressed in office attire, enjoying ourselves in a toy store

at that moment, i think we all went back to childhood days

it was quite a weird scene though...

really hope that the weekend doesn't end...

the thought of work seems to share the effect of a flu medicine

it does induce drowsiness and tiredness

(if sam sees this, she's gonna murder me...)

well, i'm not the only one who feels this way

too bad, we can't turn back time...

for the sake of getting paid and the experience...

what can we do besides enduring our way through...?

while we were embedded in a 'sea of people', we saw the last of 2006 after the fireworks display last night. obviously, there are quite alot of people who do not like bringing umbrellas along; the initially packed surroundings saw emptiness when it started drizzling. despite having several moments of disappointment and false-alarms (because the crowd 'whoa' over nothing, causing many others to think that the display had started), the fireworks was quite nice.

perhaps it's really quite useless to extend the timings of the last train, especially when many couldn't even wriggle themselves into the station.

having vehicles on the streets in the first hour of 2007 was rather useless. at that time, those on their two feet had more 'rights' that those who were sheltered in 'a metal cover on four wheels'. people were crossing the road as and when they like, even on a usually busy junction. the drivers could only jam their horns impatiently and yet helplessly.

haiz, starting work soon in less than 2 days time. for once, i'll be starting my year without having to wear school uniform. and the price to pay - being enslaved by the work that is to come. think i'll really miss the good old studying days. (real irony...when i was still studying, i wanted to work...and now it's the direct opposite.) humans are never satisfied.

nevertheless, it's still better than us rotting away at home or going out almost every other day. it can be quite a problem thinking of where to go.
