Day 8

Everyone has been asking me if I've any trips planned for the hols, and the answer is no, not with the H1N1 flu going around. But I still need breaks....I took pm leave on monday and spent the afternoon at Tanjong beach. Initially everyone was laughing at me for taking half-day instead of 1 day, and I finally saw their point while I was rushing to HBF, rushing to grab lunch and then rushing to Sentosa. Before I got to sentosa, all my muscles were bunched up. But it was a fun afternoon. It feels especially liberating when you're at the beach on a monday, enjoying the sun, sand and sea, instead of sitting at a desk in a tiny cubicle whittling your eyesight away, and it is a choice YOU made.

Last week I was working my a** off in the office, putting in extra hours. This week everything is on standstill because either my bosses are away or they just don't hv time for me. Sounds like a spoilt kid right? But it is really horrible when your boss ignores you deliberately or unintentionally. There's this huge bottleneck and it's getting on my nerves because of the fact that the bottleneck is actually at the bosses' level, and at my pathetic level, you can't tell them to shove it. There really is no unemployment in this downturn except structural unemployment.

Things I've learnt this week:
1) If you're gg to take leave, take full day.
2) If you're gg to Sentosa looking for a getaway, avoid school holidays which gives children more reason to scream their heads off and chitter-chatter away like there's no tmr.
3) Instant noodles can taste much better than normal food.
4) I've learnt how to blade!!
5) How much I love my friends.
