Day 40

Been thinking abt my latestmost employment, questioning why I took it. I'm not particularly proud of this job, the less ppl who knew of it the better. Firstly I hv to wear a totally oversized non-flattering t-shirt and cap cos they ran out of size S. It's not nice to start your day dressed like a dud, not at all. Secondly, I'm allergic to carbon. I forgot that when I signed on the contract. After giving out all the papers, my hands are black with the carbon and I hv to be extremely careful not to touch other parts of my body lest I break out in rashes. What a pain...

But I know the true reason why I took the job. I know why I subjected myself to in exchange for a pittance:

I wanted to wake up early.

Ever since last sem when I was rid of 8am lectures, I began waking at 8-8.30...waste of time when I cld hv accomplish more out of bed early. Furthermore, my habitual tardiness is in need of a cure. Even though most of the time ppl don't mind me being late for meetings, and Dad ferries me when I'm late, I mind.

Waking up late is a form of decadence, and I intend to rid myself of it. With this job, I wake at 6am.

Today is Vesak day and I'm chillin' at home. Last night I went out with WH, D and XX to Spizza and GV to watch Pirates. The show was a letdown, I won't comment further. I wanted to join them at Geylang for supper but I cldn't. Cinderella has to get back by 12 and so does Cyberella. Not exactly 12 but not too late either. If I stay out too late there are no buses to take me home. Last night for example I had to walk abt 1k from the main rd all alone because all the last bus had gone. This has happened to me pretty often recently and it's always a gamble of sorts to try to beat the system, racking your brains on which buses to hop on and which busstops to alight cos the last bus may have already left... just so I can get myself nearest to home and minimize the distance I have to walk back. Walking is mandatory already, I realised it cannot be avoided.
