Darn.... the truth really do hurts. At least i can handle it better now, its simply juz a game isn't it? sigh~
Phew, finally i'm into the 4th week of my employment, farnie thing is, i was never late for work, not even once, well, except on my first day ( refer to Primer Día if u wana noe why), the rest of the days i am like reaching office straight on the dot, even when my ankle was injured (btw its so swollen i cldnt fit my foot into my leather shoe and i was acty given 2 days MC for it) i made it a point to wake up earlier so that i will still hop there with my good leg 9am sharp, on time~... its considered a superhuman feat for me oredi if u noe wat kind of person i am, i am ALWAYS late for lecturers, i skip lecturers like nobody's business... i dread waking up early in the morning, frens have called me an owl, a bat, a noctornal being... basically i am a person who shuns daylight the way teletubbies puke in front of their vegies... So why the amazing change in me?
Then someone reminded me, "perhaps u really do luv your job"... acty come to think of it, i really do enjoy the company of my colleagues, they are v friendly n farnie yet v serious and capable abt their work, i luv my office desk, "strategically" that is, i am still pretty safe from 'air strikes'...i luv my laptop, well its black... and smaller than wat i am using now ...ok lame, but i do like my manager, whom i find is someone who is always willing to share... i noe i will learn alot from him and i thank him for that. Finally my boss, i remember him saying to me on my first week, smth like, "i noe if i dun let u do smth creative and kept u entirely to ur engineering role, in less than a year, u will leave the company.." , i didnt tik he meant it initially but true to his word, he really did gave me alot of freedom and tasks that helps contribute to marcom and marketing... , wat more can i say? thks Boss! =)
Then another fren told me, "hey, maybe u are all grown up oredi.." well, thats a possibility... do i give pple the impression i am immature? i may be green, but i clearly noe wat i am doin and wat do i wan to achieve be it career, relationship and life... maybe its the way i look? ha i really duno... i am still called "ah boy" by pple... T_T hello, i am 26 oredi!
Managed to catch The Prestige yesterdae, a pretty good movie, its unique in the sense that all answers to your questions came onli after u stepped out of the cinema when u recalled all the things they said and everything that have oredi happened... then u will be led back to the very beginning , the first question, "Are you watching closely?"... ha aniwae brilliant story telling~ go watch it.
hmm then another side of me surfaced recently which made me sit up and take notice abit... i realised i was reading 3 books at the same time. i started wif Anasi Boys, b4 i cld finish, i picked up Neverwhere, then recently i picked up Deception point... at the rate i am going i dun tik i can ever finish my books ... argh wats wrongwif me...
well ok, basically i am quite contented wif the life i am having, its good to sometimes sit down and ask urself, are u happy? sometimes not being sad is a happy thing... i rather stay contented than compared myself to others more successful or even live desperately to fufill my wants rather than my needs... which more than often, i noe i will end up more disappointed than i think i can really handle... which leads back to my previous entry of keeping my status quo in balance... no more disturbances..
I know its highly unlikely juz a few months ago, i will say anything like that... but then again is being contented the way things are going...
a good thing?

AH boy ah~!!!
i think being contented does not mean that you give up your dreams and passion that you wanna fight for. being contented is simply, being contented. fighting for your dreams doesn't mean that you're not contented with the present state, but because we all want to improve and become better as we go along, and that's fun =)
hey, tot I shld drop by ur blog since u posted that it is revamped on ur friendster profile.
I didn't actually understand everything abt the prestige movie :( It was nice and captivating, but I find it complicated. haha.
And people evolve. So I am glad that wherever you have been, at least you have reached this reflective stage where you are learning more about yourself. :) It's in these quiet moments that we will clearly figure out what we want or do not want in our lives, and where we want to move on from here. So good luck to you in your state of contentment.

Like I've always analyse for you, when you enjoy doing something you will do your best for it and this explains why you were never late for work. This job doesnt come easy and you do know how bad life can be when you are out of job. How many times or even how many people can enjoy their career?
I was quite amaze about the changes in you since you started your job. Though it's less than a month, but a happier turtle is surfacing as compared to the grouchy old one. (That's if you havent realise the changes in you.)
You know what you want and you know what to do. Just persevere on, things are on it's way to happening.
Miracle do appear to special people on special occasion.
加油加油加油
