So a week has passed since i started my new job. Its a total far cry from working in a law firm. For one thing i'm doing nothing that has got to with law since i'm in the marketing department, and the culture is alot more relaxed. The cons about working in one of the biggest IT company in the world is that you are not able to access blogger in the office nor MSN messenger which got me totally bummed out since i have yet to be given any heavy duty work to do and i spent most of my afternoons dragging my tasks so that i'll look busy instead of having nothing to do.

My colleagues are quite alright tho i still have yet to find someone i can totally click with. I had a very awkward lunch a few days back and i reckon that if i were a statue at a museum i would have been more useful. Imagine eating lunch in a group and being totally ignored even when you're sitting in the middle of the table. Talk about being totally ignored. But then i could have joined in the mundane convo about plans on spending chrismas etcetc but then if you have nothing good to say why bother rite? So i just sat there listening to the convesation even when the caucasian guy asked around table about their plans and obviously skipped me. Just to add the other chinese girls in the group were just as new like me. *shrugs* I guess its kinda like when i was working in the law firm, being the only minortiy the majority would talk in their own language and i'll be sitting there listening since i do understand a bit of mandarin and look interested in a totally different thing.
ah well.. hopefully the following weeks ahead would be better.

Then there's also these other guy in the office who i think has a six sense or someting (like when i noticed he had cut his hair (yes i notice such things) the other day and i was mentioning it to a colleague of mine when we were waiting for the others to go for lunch and he suddenly turned his gaze to our direction while in a middle of a conversation with another colleague! Like he knew we were talking about him!) and sometimes the way he looks at a person (mainly me) is damn unnerving. Maybe its just my imagination or something else. I hope he quits it soon cause it gets daym uncomfortable.

Well like i mentioned before, i dont have much work to do as yet. But with the event that i'm helping out is in two months i expect quite a lot of work to be coming in soon. But one question still remains, am i helping them out on the actual day considering the event is in HK? My supervisor has not said anything to me so i'm not really sure if i should ask her. However if all of em' went to HK what in the world am i going to do in the office???

Since i have yet to given more work to do i have been completing my tasks fast and at times I purposely take my time to pack up my stuff to go home because I know I have nothing to look forward to at home and I do feel kind of guilty that my other colleagues are still hard at work preparing for the upcoming major event and i have yet to be given any major tasks to do. The only thing that currently motivates me to go home early is to catch the repeat telecast of Cardcaptor Sakura on Animax.

Enough about work. In other news Genting won the Sentosa IR bid! Yayness! Very much expected tho. All i'm looking forward to is the Universal Studios, and i do hope it'll be just as good as the one in Orlando. Then with good news comes bad news for UWW, since they are building a brand new huge ass oceanarium that will kick UWW's ass. lolx.. I wonder what's gonna happen for UWW.

Two friends of mine from my ITE days recently got engaged to each other. Congrats guys and all the best! During the 'engagement reception' (yes somehow in malay culture there's such a thing which i dont see the point of since it is a waste of money and an engagement aint a permanent thing, and with announcing to the world that you're getting engaged then lets say what if the couple splits up? tsk. If you want to get married, announce to the world when you actually do and not when you get engaged and decide to get married 2 years later.. *shrugs well thats me..) oh yea where was i? oh yes, during the reception, i asked aida & wan what makes a couple who has been together for a long time (e.g 5 years) to finallly make the decision to spend the rest of their life together? yes i have this problem of grasping the concept of spending the rest of ones life together with another person. And you know what was wan's answer? He told me that if couples have those kind of stuff that they design together (he gave the example of the photo collage that our engaged friend had above her bed) that means they are serious.... *falls of chair* '_' " err rightt... now tell me what kind of answer is that? ish...

.The Writer.

I love standing in the rain, letting the feel of raindrops caress feverish skin, letting it wash away my thoughts, worries and pain. I love the feel of sand between my toes, the cool wind whispering in my ear, the soothing sound of the sea, the warmth of a hug. I love anything vintage, historical, mysterious and magical. I like to laugh, I like freedom and happiness, I like the idea of romance, being swept off my feet and happy endings. I currently have no idea where i'm going but i know i'll get where i'm suppose to be in due time. I want things i cant have, I dream of things that can never be but i'm too afraid to leave the things i'm familiar with even when i know i'm adaptable to change. I can be the person you love or hate, like or loath, admire or envy. I am not perfect,
I am just me.
