Despair Inc..
Since everybody is trying to motivate themselves at work, let's just do the opp..
_The DEMOTIVATORS_
Indifference
(This is just so me..=P)
"It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesnt take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face."
*****
Let's learn these at work..
Apathy
(For sickening customers)
"If we dont take care of the customers, maybe they'll stop bugging us." Blame
"The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failure."
Compromise
"Let's agree to respect each other's views, no matter how wrong yours may be." Ignorance
"It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no one has any idea where they're going."
Do It Later
(Good news for procrastinators..)
"The early worm is for the birds"
Irresponsibility
"No single raindrop believes it is to be blame for the flood." Trouble
"Luck cant last a lifetime unless you die young."
Pessimism
(For the too optimistic..)
"Every cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it."
Destiny
(Think you found the perfect someone? Think about it again..)
"You were meant for me. Perhaps as a punishment."

Am I available..??
Am I free for a movie this weekend..??! =/
Why must people have this perception that right..I see this girl around my age..she seemed presentable..she seemed unattached..so we should be together..-___- Heck such concepts..For three consecutive days..the emails came..and never fail to send a quiver down my spine..
This is my personal email address..
*****
The sky outside was pitched dark..people on the outside could see what was going on in store..people inside cannot see the outside..I peeked out of the window to see the rain platters against the glass..wanting to enjoy the rain..then I saw a figure..standing outside store..staring at me.."Jian gui la"..!! He scared me to death yesterday standing outside store smoking in the rain..gosh..this sounds like some thriller novel that I'm in the midst of production..=X
I should just put a stop to all these nonsense..

_Confessionss of a Shopaholic_

Superwoman for a day..
I walked from Tiong Bahru MRT to Lower Delta road to Alexandra Road..in heels with a big (real big) and heavy bag..and then walked back to the MRT of the similar route..and then I walked from Bugis MRT to Sim Lim Sq..this time in flats but still carrying that heavy bag..and then back to the MRT again..and..I walked again..from Outram MRT to the National Dental Centre..and then back again..I wandered around Bugis Village in a daze..for almost an hour..before Don came..and we continued to walk around Bugis Junction..=X
I reached home..cooked for daddy and my brothers..washed up the dishes..cleaned up the kitchen..folded the clothing..sweep the floor..tidied up the scattered clothes in my room..ironed the clothing..what a part-time maid..!!
*****
Don introduced us..she's a pretty and softspoken damsel..wide-eyed innocence..young but quite mature for her age..she's taller than me..(thanks to Don who "brought" it up)..gigglish and never stopped for once to tease Don..he's happy..and I'm glad for him..a weird combi..the three of us actually went shopping..(imagine that..-__-)..not surprising, I did not shop much or show my warped shopaholic personality..I cant totally be myself whenever strangers are around..God knows when was the last time I tried to socialise with strangers..but I did try to mingle around with her..to casual chat..not that bad though..I just need to really open up to other people..Dont really understand why I have this uneasiness of sticking around strangers nowadays..
*****
One thing it suddenly dawned on me..I was like her when I first started working..I was determined to stay away from jobs that involved a hell lot of politics..I want a quiet job which it seemed to me that that want is suddenly overcomed by whatever reasons..sometimes..when you stayed too long in a desk-bound and mundane job..you will feel like moving around..when you've moved too much..you will want to quieten down..and I'm glad that I went for that morning interview..my initial urge of wanting a quiet job is now stronger..marketing..perhaps is not my cup of tea..we'll see..=/

Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 59% |
Well, you don't have the worst job in the world, but it's not great.
And don't worry, you're not the problem - your company is.
Start looking around for another job, even if you're not totally fed up.
Because in time, you're going to be dying to quit! |

Geez...
Got this from Peiyi's blog..tried it out..
Haha..if Peiyi is trying to quit at 43%, isnt mine worse?? =D
Well, had a reasonably long talk with daddy yesterday over dinner..
Surprisingly..
It was quite fruitful talking to daddy..cos we seldom talk..mommy is always the medium to our communication..hee..
Daddy actually advised me to stay put in my job since finding a job is not that easy nowadays..which may be true..
Even though I may find a better paying job in a field I like..but how would I know? What if I get stuck in a position where I absolutely detest it or maybe turn out to be worse than my current one..what will I do then?
Or what if I am not cut out for that job..that I cannot cope..wouldnt they have to ask me to go?
I know..these "what ifs" are never ending..if we never try, how would we know?
Some people may just got stuck in their comfort zone so much so that they'll be too resistant to changes..by then..what will happen?
Adaptations will be made extremely unbearable when you are forced to change then..=X
He put some sense into me..asked me to think it thoroughly before I made my move.. =) =p
I knew what I ought to do..and what should I do..
And he just brought back some motivation in me too.. ^_^
(my motivation was previously in the pits)
Enough to last me for a period of time before I'm outta here..
I will definitely cherish what I have now..to show the necessary initiative in the job..to be the "me" who first joined this company..
Be it my attitude..or personality..or responsibility.. ")irony @

Dont
Dont expect faith when you have a tendency to stray..
Dont expect trust when you are suspicious..
Dont expect respect when you gave none..
Dont expect acceptance when you provide none..
Dont expect freedom when you try to ground him/her..
Dont expect security when you give no hope..
Dont expect tolerance when you are not open yourself..
Dont expect sense of belonging when you distant yourself..
Dont promise when you dont fulfill..
Dont force me to put up a brave front when you know I lack courage..
Dont turn me against my counterparts when you know I cannot afford it..
Dont ask me to be steadfast and firm when you know I am in no position to do so..
Dont ask me for my opinion when you have already decided your course of action..
Dont make me so flexible when you know I am resistant to changes..
Dont make me smile when I am trying to hold back my tears..
Dont give me false hope and then shatters all when I come to terms with it..
Dont ask me why..

The Technology to Connect People
The Masters to Destroy..
Mobile phones..
Are they tools to better communication or simply widen the distance between loved ones..??
It seems neither to me..since the person on the other side of the phone will always be closer in connection as compared to the person beside the phone user..
Imagine a scenario..which always never failed to bug and disturb me..
A guy's left hand held the hands of his gf..his right hand..keying short text messages furiously..head down..with the occasional glances up to make sure he did not bump into others..whatever is said by the gf..no longer goes into his head..he did say "something"..but that "something" becomes a three second memory..that needs to be repeated twice or thrice..
Then what is the point of being in the company of a person when the person is not really "there"?
*****
Read an article on flirtatious messages sent out to anyone else except your partner..about how guys send out messages to sexy colleagues..or bf sending out taunting messages that send the wrong signals as well..
Very often, implicit relationships started off with messages with flirty languages..hence leading on to more scandals..more breakups..so..are they just a medium to pass time or really masters of destroying relationships?
I know naught..
If mobile phones provide so much ease to people around the world..on equal grounds..I will say it also increases the insecurity of everyone else..see what I mean by destroyers..?
Now everyone on the street doesnt give a damn about any other matters..everything except that phone..ringing tone..heads dug deep into the small screen..fingers moving repetitively..=X
*****
I never felt comfortable using my mobile phones in front of my company..I just find it very insincere and unfair to the person next to me..If I really had to use it..I will just politely informed the person over the phone that I'm occupied now..will get back to that person the moment I'm free..
Is that so wrong?
What will you do if you are with me..and I keep tying vigorously..bowed over my phone..and my phone keeps ringing and I keep replying..would you have asked me who that person was..would you have felt irritation and frustration to wanting to know who that person I'm communicating with who is more important than you?
Simply amazing..that such a small device can bring so much joy and pondering at the same time..?

Popeye @ Terminal 1
Just look at the fried doughs and doughs of flour hugging the chicken and fish and shrimps that will later hug your tummy..=/
It's Siglap for tea @ Coffee Club thereafter..to wash off the oil in our tummy..which everyone agreed unanimously..
Transport provided by her..and she stands at 1.4+ metres..she had a class 2, 2B and 3 licence..an extremely masculine character..
We reached home around 12 plus..though dead beat..we enjoyed ourselves..=)

Saw this in one of my friend's friend's blog..
"After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn
That love doesnt mean leaning
And company doesnt always mean security."
"And you begin to learn
That kisses arent contracts
And presents arent promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child
And you learn
To build all you roads on today
Because tomorrow's ground
Is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down
In mid-flight.."

Something I can relate to..something similar..though this is somewhat more optimistic..

Define the power of thoughts..
Just simply a “I must get the cheque prepared first thing in the morning tomorrow..”, cost me my good sleep the whole of last night..
I was rushing all aorund..in a daze..my feet never touched the ground..in front of me was a piece of blurred image..I climbed the stairs without a flinch of hard breathing..without panting..I met her along the stairways..asked if the cheque’s ready..she said naught..the signators are not in office..(actually the whole office seemed that only the both of us were in office..before I knew it..the supplier’s there..omg..what should I do now..the project people are rushing to get the items for a deadline..I knew I had to ask if she had petty cash..nope..that $30 is not enough for the $400+ purchases..then at the same time..mom called me while in office.. “I need to speak to you when you get home..we need to have a good talk..” Something I had dreaded few weeks back..and then alarm clock went off..I woke up..still in a daze..still thinking if mom had told me she needs to speak to me in reality or in my dreams..the line’s not clear anymore..anyway, I knew..I did not sleep at all..

Stupid guy..came in to send us some control item..look at me with a face bloated with doubts..he asked me.. “So do you know anything about this?” I was making head and tail out of whatever is written on the documents (because that stupid guy don’t even bother to explain where he came from..so I had to do it myself so as to direct him to the correct department)..as I was reading through the GST permit..he suddenly blurted out.. “zai zai eh” (= expected)..“That IS a GST PERMIT..” -__-''' what did he mean by this? Do I look too young to know nuts about such documents? Even so..I'm not nuts to not know what's going on..just all those self righteous nutty fellas upstairs dont even bother to come inform us that makes us so nutty ignorant..Some nutty mockery enough to add on to this crappy nutty day..
