Short Words in a Long While
June 29th, 2006 -- Posted in rants | 5 Comments »Hello~
I know it’s been too long since I’ve posted anything at all. Just a short update on my life…
Work. It’s still tough but manageable now. Hours are still long but it’s becoming a norm. Just enjoyed a half-week visit to the massive warehouse in Bangkok last week. Got the chance to finally see what I’ve been budgeting and cost-forecasting.
Play. Been hooked to playing The Sims again. Now I’m more hooked to building the houses than playing the characters. You just can’t stop loving the dream houses you can only see virtually on the computer monitor. Just stopped playing for two days now… reason? The old c: drive just crashed because of the game. (No worry, the other drives are ok… phew~)
Sunsun. She’s complaining about the long hours I spend on The Sims. (Now she must be sniggering in secret.)
Family. Dad’s still not around most of the time. Been spending less time with Annie coz of long weekdays hours at work. Still meet up with Annie and Becky for dinner over weekends though.
Cobie. Caught ticks and fleas and condition got worsen last week. Bought medicated shampoo and spray but he started developing rashes. Just sent him for full grooming today. Can’t wait to see him in short coat.
That’s all for now. Will update more later. It’s still busy time at work now. It’s close of the fiscal year… lots of work to be done in these 2 days.

It’s past 10pm. Thought about myself being part of the big company I’ve been slogging myself for the past months. Was it worth it all? I must say it is, though I may feel the dread of work at this hour.
When I first joined in February, I went through all the toughest time in my career to date. Today, I finally thought to myself when I had a one-on-one review with an associate director that things aren’t that bad after all. I realized this when I was asked to be open about any concern I have with work… and I could think of none. Before I could splurt all the complains like a typical Singaporean could, I reflected on my list of professional woes and I could think of none worth that’s the trouble.
“Does complaining help? Complaining only helps admit that there’s a problem.”
By giving myself time before I make the next complain, I give myself a chance to compare each woe with the last. And when I could only think of the worst, it suddenly doesn’t seem much like a woe anymore.
Well, that’s my two cents of thoughts, if not one.
