Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless. ~Calvin (Hobbes’ buddy)~
I guess I can kiss my weekends goodbye soon, if the things that I’ve heard are true. Work till you get the work done, is the motto at this place. Not that it’s a bad motto but then, you need to set your boundaries and priorities and know where work ends and your own life starts. Unfortunately, at this place, work IS life. Well, my workload hasn’t gotten that bad yet but I’m sure it will come sooner or later.
Why am I getting myself into this situation again? Those are reasons which I will keep to myself for now. I just hope (and pray) I’ll be able to endure the kinds of things (more like, horror stories) that may be thrown at me in time to come.
How do some people do it?? Day in, day out… year after year after year… all that type of abuse hurling at them. I really salute them.
I must start thinking about being self-employed. I really cannot imagine myself working in this type of environment or working for an organization for the rest of my life. I need to be self-employed!! Gotta start thinking NOW.

Been using the LRT to get to work these days. One thing really amazing I found out in my recent LRT experience is that Malaysians actually QUEUE UP!!!!! And very orderly too! No pushing or rushing even though it’s rush hour and ppl are trying to get to work on time! It’s just so freaking amazing, compared to 5 years ago, when I used to use the LRT. Back then, ppl couldn’t bothered to queue.
But apparently, this amazing phenomenon only happens at the Putra LRT stations. According to my colleague, ppl don’t queue at other public transportation lines.
Other than that, the traffic is getting more horrendous every day. It seems like the earlier I leave for work, the more futile an attempt it is to try to beat the morning traffic. And the Putra LRT service really does not have the capacity to cater to the peak hour crowd coz the trains are just too small! Imagine, on Thursday, I had to wait for ELEVEN trains to pass before I managed to get on!! They were soooo packed that ppl had their faces literally smooshed onto the doors!!
Some serious re-work needs to be done with our public transportation system. But from the looks of it, I doubt that will happen because we will always have ppl who are more concerned about pocketing public funds for their own selfish use rather than for the good of the country. Malaysia boleh, ma! Bleh…
So that’s the story of my life right now. It’s a Saturday night and I’ve got to start preparing for work on Monday.
Yay, how exciting… (can’t you just feel my enthusiasm)
Not like their cough-meds tasting preserved ones that normally come with cakes. Or those cherry-flavored cough drops. Yeck!
Not only physically (can’t do the late nights as often these days) but more so because I realize that the people I work with are almost all younger than me!
Always a pessimistic idealist… the perfectionist… animal lover… dance enthusiast… and snob to people who don’t know me. Coz I’ve got the “proud peacock look”, according to a friend. Ah well… always takes one to know one, no?
