:: money run ::

money seems to be the main essence of most people's life in these days. i look at my bank account and i would frown at the figures showing. there's like a thousand and one things that i need, or rather want, to be done. but i don't want these cravings to affect my usual life. that's why i am not saving up for these cravings.

number 1 on the list is to get my room tiled. i bet my mother's gonna rant about how the flooring would not blend into the house. but it's for a practical cause and i think it is good to have it done. tiles are easier to clean than parquet. and tiles don't absorb my dog's pee.

some other things would be like getting a lappy instead of this bulky pc, a new wallet, some more new clothes and stuffs like that. i probably would wanna move the damn tv out of my room into the common area outside. then i would buy a nice low table and a comfy sofa i can sit on and use my new lappy.

i think $10k is good. and i am looking at tonight's 4d. muahaha.

talk about 4d. looks like everyone is very much into the 4d craze nowadays. i think justina has been buying religiously. hehe. some easy money would do good actually, but don't place too much of hopes into this kinda things. and also, do not let paul lim's mother know that you strike 4d! otherwise prepare for a minimum half hour preach!

:: blue ::

today is such a blue day. i wore a blue tshirt with blue jeans and my nike shoes with a blue tick. the morning sky look rather blue today, not the usual pinkish-orange. i was doing database design as one of the projects that will be presented at the mindef pride day. it's supposed to garner like $2000 as an award if it make its way to the pride day. but i think the money will be distributed amongst a few people even though i am the one doing the project. i chose blue for the background of the interface also.

came home early 'cause i went to nuh for my medical appointment. the doctor is wearing a light blue shirt also, with a dark blue tie.

right now, the sky is a peaceful pitch of blue. and the whole neighbourhood looks so blue, like a photo that was underexposed.

i'm going to change to my green boxers, for a change.

:: problematic ::

ever since i got transferred to this new department, trouble seems to be on my way almost everyday. actually the new office is alright, 'cept for 1 person who seems to find pleasure in making things difficult for me. too bad, he's a regular and holds a higher rank than me. if not for that, he probably wouldn't dare to do so in the first place. he's all chummy with the higher ranks and try to get into their good books. eargh.

the branch head spoke to me today and he said that he can sense the foul air and hoped that things can be made better. but i guess he didn't see that the problem isn't really coming from me. in the end i didn't say much but just made a request to be transferred back to where i was from.

going to work seems like a dread now. i would be happy if things were simpler. like i go to work, do my stuff and they can just leave me alone. i work better when i am isolated anyway. it's like a warzone in the office now. the tension is building up so quickly that the whole situation seems so unhealthy. i can't really work in such an environment.

let's just hope what goes around comes around.

:: tired ::

it has been like 2 weeks since i last updated. had been real busy with things. so busy i hardly have the time to sit down and do the leisure stuffs.

went to the hospital yesterday 'cause i was feeling damn sick on the way home from work. i thought singapore hospitals should be like world class kinda standard. but it isn't. there wasn't any queue, but the waiting time was still very long. don't they have a staff nurse on duty all the time? finally this pregnant nurse came to attend to us. she's suppose to screen us before the doctor sees us. and she was still munching on something, maybe bubblegum, as she was attending to me.

anyway this young female doctor, in her early twenties i think, attended to me. like quite unprofessional. she just took a quick look at me and ask me what was wrong. then she just prescribed me some medicine and gave me 2 days mc. that's all. she didn't even really check.

and the bill came up to around $150. soooo expensive. luckily i don't have to pay a single cent for this.

work has been a killer so far. with so much to do and lots of adhoc matters for me to attend to. then the army regulars aren't doing their job. seriously some of them should be axed from service. they just come to work, eat, read newspapers, talk on the phone, slack around, talk cock and they go home. wtf?

anyway i am leaving in another 9 months time. and whatever happens there is none of my business.
