Changes

It was superbly fun during my stay at Causeway Point, the people there and the pace will be sorely missed. But good things don't last, you just can't get too comfortable at one place can you.

I've moved on to Vivocity, where a new challenge awaits. To revive a place like Vivocity would be harder than just equipting a defibrillator and pressing the "e" button. I'm both physically and mentally drained after a week there compared to a month at Causeway Point. In the short 1 week under my helm, a spate of incidents were reported and things seemed very very bleak.

Then again, thats life. I need to prove my worth and at the same time take good care of my subordinates, my team is my priority, without my team, I'm nothing. So the challenge, I see it clearly. I'm trying my best to steer this boat the right direction and its gonna take time. Question is, will I be able to hold the reins long enough to make a difference ? Or will I be just a passing breeze, nothing threatening, no impact at all ?

Everybody dread changes, proven fact. I'm one of those, but I've already accepted the change that I'm going through and trying to make the best out of it. Like I said, its tiring and challenging, and at the end of the day, I'm always faced with one question asked by my very own self. Is the juice worth the squeeze ?

Changes to come

3 Months have passed by so fast .. an update of feelings, thoughts and prospect will be up soon .. in the meanwhile, immerse yourself in what every precious time you have left at your comfort zone..

Life's simple, you make choice and you don't look back.

Can't get you off my mind

You know what ? Ever since the first time I saw you, I just can't seem to get you out of my mind. Seeing you smile while participating in the activities, watching your undaunted spirit and the fun that you were having. Made me smile as well and gave me that warm fuzzy feeling.

The anticipation of hearing from you. The urge to see you again, and the thrill of venturing into this zone again, sends a chill down my spine. So enticing, so exciting, so wonderful.

I wonder how your day went, I thought of the things that you did, I worried that you had a rough day. Am I drowing in my own self deluded fantasy ? Or is it actually sanity calling me back. The thought of getting to know you better drives me everyday. Even so if it a mistake to feel this way, I'd submit to my punishment. I don't want to be too forceful to scare you away, neither do I want to play cool and let the opportunity slip. I can't answer to my heart that way. Its crazy, I know, but i think that feeling which was long lost, has came back to me.

I'm fearful of the unknown, but even more fearful of not knowing what it could be.

A worthy person

A life that is worth it is not a wealthy life, not an honourable life, nor a long life. But a life that you are "a worthy person" and a life that makes other people "worthy" also.

Shitty day .. Anything goes ..

One of the shittiest day ever .. Friday 17th of October .. Rainy day ..

Woke up 10am by boss who told me to go down Junction 8 to grab some stuff.
Went for a bath, prepared to leave house 1 hour earlier.
Raining like shit, decided to call for cab.
10 minutes later, no operator.
Decided to brave the torrential rain and walk out with my puny umbrella.
Wrong move, trousers end got wet.
Water in socks.
Umbrella started to leak inside.
Walked to main road, no cab. (My my am I suprised)
After 5 minutes decided to walk to the bus stop to wait for the bus.
Getting late .. getting late ..
Reached bus stop.
Empty cab turns around the corner upon me reaching the god damn bus stop (am I still surprised)
Flagged the cab.
Reached junction 8.
Have to buy belt (Belt snapped yesterday).
No belt.
Socks wet, looked at socks, 1 for $7, 3 for $15.
bought 3 bloody socks.
Changed socks.
Took stuff and realised left ez link at home.
Totally drenched from the rain.
Trousers dropping coz no belt.
Lugged 2 parcles on the train looking like a drenched terrorist.
Reach work late.
With wet socks in my bag.
Wet shirt and trousers.


And no belt.

Sick and half dead

Hari Raya is approaching, its gonna be a long week with long hours. At least I'll have Sunday night free. Perhaps movie with the pork and the black would be planned.

Fell sick yesterday, throat hurts like mad when I swallow water. Headache and giddy spells haunt me. Must be overworked. haha

Feeling really tired now, and even though its my off day, I still have a packed schedule. Sigh .. the shittiness of working 6 days.

Watched Going the Distance and it was awesome. I'm like a sucker for RomComs. Maybe I know realistically it won't happen in real life. But it would be great to live a dream won't it ?

Still hanging on

Life at my new job is still going good so far. Started courses, more responsibilities, longer hours but still relatively happy there. I'm pretty comfortable with the people I work with, they are all young and full of vigor. Even though I'm only a few years older than them, it feels as if I'm 40 and they're like hyper active kids who never seem to get tired.

I see alot of my past self in them and it really brings a smile to me. Its great to be young and vibrant.

I've been "arrowed" by my boss to do some filming. Its pretty much serious stuff with scripts and all and to be honest, I'm not the least keen in doing it. And since I was told it was either my boss or myself, what choice do I have ? Hopefully it won't be akward at all. It is also time for a diet. Dang.

Xiao Qiu quit her job as an Accounts Exec, apparently she found another one as a Marcomm Exec. She was at Ion earlier to look for me and I missed her. Then I realised that I actually do miss her alot. Which brings me to my point - I have zero social life after work. I need more time with my friends.

My weekend is burnt as I'll be working till late at night. Hopefully next week will be better .. till then ..

Work life

Finally watched Inception through the weekend with alvin and pork, it was as good as they say. Also watched Love in Disguise on Sunday capping off the week.

3rd week at work now, its been pretty okay. Lots of fun, scandals and "hugs" around the work place.

Sometimes, I ask myself if I'm getting tired of everything and just want time to stop so that I can catch a breather. I realised that life is as it is and it'll take time to get use to the kind of life I'm leading now. Maybe all I needed was a break. To what extent then ?
The good news is, the fun loving bunch at work reminds me of my time when I was their age, not that its really much of a difference but still ..

I'm still hoping for the pot of gold to be at the end of the rainbow. And perhaps a new direction for me to move forward.
