Flow

Flow......the movement of objects in a certain direction. Objects in the path of it simply tags along for the ride until it finally ends up someplace. As Singaporeans, do we really have our own beliefs or are we just people who follow the flow? We are not happy with the government policies but yet we accept them with not too much of any complains. Not that we would not want to but being in Singapore, any complains will see the government clamping down hard and labelling you as a dissident. Sigh, the realities of living in Singapore. The sad thing being, there is no credible Opposition to keep the ruling party in check. Much as I do not wish to agree with the ruling party, what the Senior Minister said is true, the Opposition members in parliament now are not really taking on their fair share of responsibilities. Such is the sad case of living in Singapore.

Short Working Hours.....For Now

For the moment, I got pretty short working hours, which is not all too bad given that I am still new and haven't got too much of a workload. This is a welcome relief from all the politicating of my previous workplaces. Ahh.......

We Are Wicked?

Hmmm...... I was attending my training during the week and my trainer mentioend that by choosing to be in our profession, we are in fact wicked people. I wonder how true is that.....

Finally A Career, Finally A New Beginning

Tomorrow I start my first career. After all the jobs that I have done, I have finally decided to start my career instead of going on to another job. Yup, I have decided that I want to nurture the future generation. I am not being idealistic but I hope that things will not be as antagonistic as what we have read in the papers for the past five years.

BBQ cum Chalet

Got a BBQ cum chalet later. Hopefully the sky will hold and those who committed will turn up. I am always afraid of coordinating or organizing such events I always get empty promises. Please let there be at least some people coming along.

Finally Out Of Hell

Today marks the end of another chapter in my life. I am finally leaving the hellhole of a company I am in and jumping into another hole. How this new hole will turn out, I do not know. I hope things will work out better!

Afraid of Love?

Are we afraid to love because we do not know how to love or we do not know how to receive it? Is it because we are afraid of losing the one we love? Hmmm.......

Moved by Reading

I have never ever wept while reading a book. No novel, memoir or story ever moved me to tears, be it joy or sadness. However, one book finally did. Recently, I have been reading the book, Marley and Me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It choronicled the life of a Labrador from a puppy till its final days. It related of how its owners had to grapple with it and lived with it. The things that Marley did really makes one laugh and pull their hair out at the same time. When the time came for Marley to go to the Great Meadow, I had grown so fond of him that I wept. Just a tear or two but wept I did. I guess I am just a sentimental old-fart.

A Day At The Zoo

It has been donkey years since I was last at the zoo. At least 10 years I think. Maybe even more. I was making use of one of the benefits my company provides for her staff. Since I am leaving come Friday, got to make good of it. Hahahaha.

Dinner later

Arranged for an outing later with some of my fellow colleagues. I hope it will happen. This industry we are in, results in zero personal time. So much so, we are unable to plan for anything till the last minute. Furthermore, for the amount we are being paid by company C of the semiconductor industry, it is just not worth it. At least company T compensates their employees much better. Sigh.

Recollection

Maybe it is the way I react. Maybe it is the way I am. I have not really considered if it was my way of handling issues which allows people to see me the way I am.

It is of no coincidence that Chang-e has always remained in my mind all these times. Even when I was considering others, it was inevitably that I compared them to her. Why? I do not really know. I guess, of all the females I have met thus far, she is the one who has touched me the most emotionally. It is unfair to the other ladies but life is never really fair.

A Familiar Face

I was out last night, celebrating one of my colleagues birthday. While waiting to meetup with them, I was just walking around town, passing time, when I heard a familiar voice. I turned and looked and there was Chang-e's mum! It has been almost a year since I last saw her. Spoke to her and found about the latest about Chang-e. I am worried for her for she has cut-off all her friends and staying at home whenever she is not at work. She is refusing to meet anyone and under stress. Somehow, I wonder, if I had stayed and did not leave back then, would I have made her life any better? I wonder.

Counting the days

Only another 10 more working days and I am done with my current company. I will be moving on to explore a whole different career from thereon. A career I chose, for I believe that it is more suited for me and also because, it is a means of way to my long term plans.
