The week's flying by (like real..)

When you see a posting, it means that i'm not working. obviously i can't be doing both at the same time. duh...

Today's a very unsettling day. You see all sorts of ppl in the workplace, the good the bad and the ugly. There are some who are purely in it for the money, some ppl just want to get by and can't be bothered, and some the truly rare ones, do see the greater meaning of what they do. No matter what their aims are, there are those who maintain their dignity and pride and refuse to bend on their principles and conscience, and there are those who don't see the wrong in trampling all over you to get what they desire. The prob comes when the org sees these "tramplers" as ppl with drive and motivation. The tramplers are often rewarded with promotions and pay raises. When the middle and upper managment is crowded with such tramplers, you'll see the turnover rate hit the roof. ppl see the example set by the tramplers and are unhappy. when you see such ppl around, and you know your org praises the trampler attitude, would you want to stay and become one like them? if you know that you're not cut out to be one of them, wouldn't you leave too?

There are many reasons why ppl act in certain ways, but idealistic me refuses to conform to the standard expectations of monkey see monkey do. i don't want to be labeled as one of them. i want to be the only one who doesn't get my fingers and soul tainted. i will not trample on others, nor make myself a nuisance to others, because i know i'm above all that.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes,

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still,

Some news...

I just learnt over the weekend that the last grand-uncle on my father's side had passed on. We weren't that close when he was alive, but i do recall him being a jolly old chap who was always ready with a smile... as far as grand-uncles go, he's the closest one we had. And of course he lived in malaysia which gave us a perfect excuse for a weekend trip up the causeway, far from the hustle and bustle of maniacal singapore. Another shocking piece of news i heard last week in fact was, me best pal's dad seems to be suffering from dementia. i hope he gets better soon cos i know everyone's worried and imagine the pressure on the family! after hearing that, i've been praying every night that my parents remain healthy and happy, especially during this period when i'm away from home. The 3rd piece of shock i had was that friend X and friend Y have gotten together. both of them are my college mates. BUT friend X was with friend A at that time, and friend Y was w
