quoting shakespeare.

to be or not to be.
the ultimate question.
my ultimate question.

ditched star wars for tonight. been working my 5 day 9 to 5.30 and my weekend starbucks dose. ohhh and for the record, i've been going out after work. hence i took time to *buy a pair of boots!*, do 3 loads of laundry (finally washed my oatmeal coat and the popular coke-infused mimco bag), have cheap dinner (home-cooked by my flatmate, of course!) and chill.

i ditched pitter, too so i have to remember to make it up to him next time. what are friends for???

In Pink!

Third day into full-time office work. So far, so good. I am wearing this pink pants that are cut a bit low and accidentally wore bright blue undies. So much for being low-key and aptly professional!

I bought a pair of brown shoes for work. My black one is gonna die soon because I walk quite a lot in them, in a battle against having to sit down for so long.

Have to get a hang of working and all. I'm not in excruciating pain trying to drag myself to work and the like. The atmosphere is very likeable, too. Not intimidating at all.

So far still have plans going ovearseas end of the year. Possibly to the States. It would be so much fun.

dum dee dum!

Last weekday as a bum! Well, not exactly but feels like it!

And so perhaps things are going to settle. But prior to that, there's always the inevitable adjustment stage. Sigh. I'm bored.

Not sure what to do.

the movement from BLACK

Soon to be heading towards the corporate ladder. I wonder how long I'll be staring up from the bottom, I wonder whether I'd be striving to climb up, I wodner whether I will walk away. I should find out after 6 months.

Headed to my ultimate (not!) shopping destination and spent approximately 4 hours. I was pretty productive except I'm really tired now. I left my phone and didn;t bring a watch so I had no idea what time it was until after my last purchase, I checked the time on the docket.

Hanging on and bracing myself for next week. It should all be fine.

the two happy's

Haven't been blogging so long, mainly because I've hardly had the heart and the environment appropriate for such. Grace has already gone travelling. She should be back in like a month and a bit but then it will only be a few days and she's off for good.

Want to make a pitstop in Jersey when I go travelling end of the year and say hi. Perhaps a bit of a flatmates reunion in Manhattan or something. I hope I can really go travelling. Been through my intinerary over and over in my head but I haven't really written things down simply because my sketchpad is in my head and I want to actually remember things.

The stress level is piling up and despite my need to be organized and devise a palm pilot-ish strategy, I still want to stretch myself and actually use my head to remember things.

Full time office work starts on the 16th. I have like a week of normality left. I guess I never really expected to be in the corporate world. I never thought I can survive, perhaps but then I believe Starbucks has given me a bit of an introduction on what the politics and the backbiting is gonna be like. On the other side of things, I guess the corporate attitude just grows on you. Just have to filter out the yucky stuff and remain earthy.

I told a friend of mine to give me a whack in the head in case I float up somewhere. Cos really, my deal is a one shot sort of thing. It's a 6 month fixed contract. Not like I'm set for life. But I like it this way. I know it can either end there just like that or my contract can be extended. It's like taking big things in bite size pieces.

Prior to the whole facing the corporate world programme involved reloading a bit of stress. I'll have to book myself in for a Spa Treatment. Despite the cost, I feel the need and perhaps it is better for my well-being.

Mother's day was good. Called mom. I worked a pretty lengthy shift and then saw a rather arty movie called Criminal before heading off to church. Church was good. I am once again in this church limbo where I'm not sure where I should be going. The soundest doctrine is what one lacks and the cheery fellowship and vibrant involvement is what the other proves amiss.

I guess there's different venues for different needs, whichever mood calls for it.
