time slips by really quickly while ure working. every day is a new day, every night is a new night. kinda miss e structure of school. kinda feel like im in limbo now. like waiting for sth to bring some structure and discipline to my days. i really cant imagine working like that in e LR man. its so easy to lose touch. with your friends, with your history, with what you believed in, with yourself. e days just go by monotonously, i keep thinking of things i wanna do but nv get round to doing it coz of my great ability to procrastinate. its a scary prospect. theres no longer anything pushing us to do stuff. its so easy to fall into the i-dont-have-time club. but the prospect of living like that, so meaningless, so drifting, is scary. but at the same time its difficult to really get into the im-gonna-do-it-and-im-gonna-do-it-now mode. so i guess this leaves us where we are. in limbo. waiting.
and before i forget,

today was a super funny day. first i woke up at 820 when i was supposed to be at work at 830. i cldnt believe my eyes when i woke up la. im not normally this late! haha. coz i had this dream again and it made me wake up at 430 la. its the second time ive had the same dream. weird huh. it wasnt exactly e same dream la. it was like in a diff context but the contents are mostly the same. still ended with me feeling shitty and feeling this is more a nightmare than a dream. haha. dreams are supposed to be relaxing! okay maybe not relaxing but at least their supposed to be funny to think about when ure actually awake right.anyway so i had some weird disrupted sleep coz i cldnt get back to sleep after that then my mom came to tell me sth when i was still half asleep. den i woke up in shock at 820. haha.
i made it to work by nearly nine tho. super duper rushing ard and throwing things on. lucky no one was at home. haha. i tried to sneak to my desk but it was abit difficult when ure wearing heels and are as tall as i am. oh well. at least i tried. haha. ytd i made friends with another temp. shes ending this week tho :( but shes really interesting. i dunno why but we seem to click. oh well. i doubt i will see her again tho. unless i go to australia to study nxt time la. which is not entirely improbable. we'll see soon man.
anyway today my tablemate discovered the online chat thing that the network has. i only found out abt it myself ytd. so she kept talking to me online during work. in e morning i was only talking online to e other temp but in e afternoon i had two conversations going on la. its really like msn. and one of e conversations had four of us tablemates. quite interesting. my colleagues are quite entertaining people, really. and today i ate my first bak kwa of the year. it so feels like chinese new year is coming. haha. coz one of e suppliers sent one of the ladies a packet of bak kwa. and we ate it for her while she was on the phone ;) and then there was cake too from someone who just came back from maternity leave. i dont even know her coz shes from a diff dept but still, everyone gets it. im really gonna be fat if i work there long term man. we eat and eat every day la. esp after lunch! all e snacks come out after lunch la. all the biscuits and chocolate. and today they were discussing leaving at 557. work officially ends at 6 you see. so at ard 550 we went down to the toilet then when we came back they were gone. haha looks like for once they actually did leave when they said they would. normally they say they wanna leave on the dot but everyone is always still there for awhile more. oh well.
work was so confusing. between the people talking to me online, the people talking to me in real life, and the people calling me on the phone, i was getting pretty confused with all the stuff going on. and i persuaded izyan to go look at clothes with me for awhile today. coz theres a clothes shop at the mrt. haha she ended up buying a pair of pants. and she kept scolding me la. like i forced her to buy e pants like that. haha. we took longer than expected, but oh well. she got her pants. haha. shes really hilarious.
in e evening i went to town. its been really super long since i went la. i nearly got lost taking the underpass from orchard mrt. its really been like years since i took that underpass. ended up going up at the wrong place then i had to make a detour. haiz. at least i got there in e end. we ate fish & co. no swordfish this time! yayy. haha. yes, i really think the swordfish is that bad. the place was so super noisy i tell you. i couldnt even hear myself half the time. make us so exhausted. okay maybe its not just e place. working is tiring. quite la. but i think im getting used to it. or maybe coz my efficiency is decreasing rapidly. haha. i still resent having no time to do the things i want tho. but its just like how i resent my habit of procrastination. ie, i cant do anything about it. okay maybe i can. hmm.
okay thats enough for a post. im gonna sleep early to avoid repeating the drama of this morning. haha.
good night, guys. take care and tell me how ure doing! or better yet, ask me out!

when i'm gone
-simple plan
i look around me
but all i seem to see
is people going no where
expecting sympathy
its like we're going through the motions
of a scripted destiny
tell me where's our inspiration
if life wont wait
then i guess its up to me
no we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
and we wont come back your world is calling out
we'll leave the past in the past
gonna find the future
if misery loves company
well so long
you'll miss me when im gone
procrastination, running circles in my head
while you sit there contemplating
you wound up left for dead
life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses
another day, another casualty
and that wont happen to me
no we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
and we wont come back your world is calling out
we'll leave the past in the past
gonna find the future
if misery loves company
well so long
you'll miss me when im gone
wont look back
when i say goodbye
im gonna leave this a hole behind me
gonna take whats mine tonight
because every day becomes a wasted chance
you're gonna wake up feeling sorry
because life wont wait
i guess its up to you
no we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
and we wont come back your world is calling out
we'll leave the past in the past
gonna find the future
if misery loves company
well so long
you'll miss me when im gone
my gosh this song is addictive. did i tell you simple plans one of my fav bands? heh. even though the singer seems to have put on quite abit of weight since they first started out. but well. at least he still sounds the same! thats the most impt man. haha.
work was super duper busy today. normally the pace is okay and we can keep up. but today we were totally drowning in our work and more and more work kept coming in. you shld have seen our in tray la. and at the end of e day our dept pigeon hole was filled to e top. again. oh man. nvm thats for tmrs work. and people seem to enjoy calling us today la. every few mins a call comes in for either izyan [thats my tablemate] or me. den we have to answer and entertain the other party and sound like we actually know what happened to their invoices. i mean. look at the pile on my table! it could be anywhere! he thinks i have crtl f function on my table is it. and the best part is some of them act ask and expect me to be able to know what their talking abt immediately. and one person even better. after i dug through piles to find one invoice you know what she said? oh can you help me find this invoice too? i was like RAH!! another person gave me e wrong invoice number to find somemore. and still complain when i said he prob cant get his money so soon. how to process anything when pple like him waste all my time looking for invoices that dont exist?! argh. anyway. its a job. so lets leave it in e office. haha. although i have to say i cldnt ask for more entertaining workmates ;)
you know sometimes when you think something is the answer to all your probs and it turns out that its not? well. i guess you'd kinda feel cheated. because you thought all your problems were gonna be solved but turns out that you have new problems instead. so. maybe its better to realize that we're kinda independent. nobody can solve everything for us, nor can anyone actually give us what we want, other than ourselves. because no one else knows what you really want or how you really want it. so its really up to yourself to keep yourself happy and going where you wanna go. no ones gonna push us in that direction because their all feeling ard in the dark too. im not saying that since we should all be self-sufficient theres no point in relationships [whether platonic or otherwise]. im just saying that we shldnt expect other people to be able to solve our problems when they dont even know what they are, it just isnt realistic. yeah, i never thought the day wld come when ming would encourage people to be realistic either. maybe it comes with growing up. but im still an idealist at heart ;)
so thats some random ramblings from ming today. i hope it makes sense to you guys.
take care!

and i found jov's blog! okay so she posted it on my tagboard. but e add is so long la! how did u think of sth like that?! haha nvm thats a new blog for me to stalk :)
i got psed today! oh well. i guess i shld be used to it. i got psed the whole year alr la. well i thought our dearest mimi was drunk when she called me last night la. it was so random. but oh well. hopefully we'll get to meet up soon! haha. so i guess im gonna go get a tan again. if it doesnt rain! haha. i think i bring rain with me wherever i go. lol. sorry guys.
update again soon! hopefully there'll be more interesting stuff to update. haha sorry to bore you guys, my dear readers, but im having a pretty boring life nowadays. heh.
