the bitch and slut: August 2007

The right direction

I got a job! And for now it seems like a job that I will enjoy.

There's a lot to learn and it's what I'd like to learn. So it seems like things are going in the right direction for now.
I'll be a management trainee at L'oreal. And I'm very excited. I hope this will bring things to a different level.

Also, my PR application is going to be approved. I just need to bring the letter from the immigration down. And with my current job offer, I will be able to get a PR status in Singapore. Then I no longer have to do stupid applications whenever I get a new job.

Hopefully, I'll be able to handle things a lot better. I've realised that it's the same shit but different toilet no matter where I go. So I'm much more prepared to handle things now. No matter how tough the shit is, I HAVE to stick this out.

Things seem to be taking a turn for the better.

Thank you for being there with me when I needed help. I'm back on my feet now and I'm glad.

Love spam!
Stuffy nose and horrid throat.

Grateful

I had a talk with a friend today, and am glad that my simple but truthful words of "I'm proud of you" makes a difference to her.

And that's when I'm grateful to have friends like that. That after all the shit and quarrels that we've been through, we're still there for each other.

And because of all the ups and downs we've had, it makes us know each other more.

And then I thought, hey Dai! I miss you tonnes! You write me little letters with funny animal badges when I'm down. Just wanna say thanks so much!!!! And I'm glad that you're enjoying work. Gosh! I'm so amazingly proud of you!!

I hope to be able to find a job, where I'm happy as well. And I've been having a 2 week break or so now. I feel the energy and life returning to me. And I know very soon, I'll be brand-spanking new and good to go!

And I'm grateful to just have those few good friends who are truthful to me. And hold my hand when I'm down. Just a few of those are good enough to last to me a lifetime.

Love you all! Spam.

P.S. Dai, I realised that in my miserable wallowing and mountains of work, I have not gotten you a birthday present! I'm sorry! And I feel so sad because I don't forget your birthday!

Sappy love songs and rainy days.

brand new me

congratulations on the graduation pammie!
now we're finally graduates, we can boast to everyone that we've spent ages in uni learning lots of complex stuff to make us useful members of society.

well, that's the theory anyway

it feels like life has rebooted

1 gorgeous new flat -- complete with floor to ceiling ikea gear, bay windows and mature greenery
2 fluffy little babies, the tuna lovers
2 dinners with ken *hugs + happy birthday again!* - catching up, gossiping (dating daddy's friend is one big uh-uh), jeans and breakdancing
24 days into employment
6 days to my first pay check

and until that day, dreams or bags, shoes, holidays and internet.
yes, i still haven't got any connection at home

anywaaaaaay...

i love work.

i'm learning something new everyday, i actually feel like i'm making use of my life and being productive for once

sure there are those odd patients (and relatives) who undermine your abilities

"excuuuuuse me. are you the medical student?"

or think they know so much about medicine

"i want a test to confirm whether or not he's got Parkinson's"

"sure, the only way to do that is to cut open his brain and take a sample out"

and the demanding ones who think the NHS is there to serve only them

"i want to see the doctor now"

"yes, as does everyone else here"

there is definitely some power involved in this job, and not being arrogant, but i quite like to be in control.

am missing home somewhat, but life could not be any better

so why complain?

ps/ kim + nat: with regards to bet, nat's in the lead. call me when you're free ok?

My three phases in life.

It's so weird. I think I've taken a total backward route from most graduates.
Usually, people enjoy life before graduation, grad, and then find a job.
For me, I got a job even before graduation, worked my ass off while people were travelling, and then I went through graduation and quit my job. How weird.
But here's some little pictures just to keep our blog posted. Dai. Hurry post soon!
