Nothing can be as awakening as summarising your accounts books for the past year, and gasping in astonishment at the tens of thousands you have splurge over the last ten months, with completely no idea what you have done with that money.
Totally AMAZED...

nEw aDDiTiOn...!!
My new Calvin Klein Dress..... For work.
Even after the discount that I've got.... I have SO OVERSPENT....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks like the typical kind of dress that would have only cost me 89bucks, out of SouthHaven, doesn't it? Who would have thought.... Calvin Klein???! And... Afterall, at this point I don't really know if I would be able to survive, or even go beyond the 6 months contract in this job.
But still... this is still a very worthy buy. At least its something that I foresee, will last me many many years. Expenditure definitely justifiable, erm... I hope... Right? (>_<)

cOnFuSed....
Saturdays... A day to recuperate from a week of work and nothing else?? I wonder how I can sleep so much and still feel so tired and wasted. Isn't more rest suppose to do me good? Why do I always get such terrible headaches on saturdays?
I hope it is just a temporary withdrawal symptom, while my body is still trying to adapt to the five-days working lifestyle. Once the semester begans, Saturdays are meant for academic hard work. I have no time to waste on headaches and backaches. :o(
After three weeks of administrative work, I realise I am still pretty much an analytical person. I realise what a indecisive person I am. If anyone ask me, I would still say I prefer my first job's work scope, minus all the ill-treatment, bangadash + maid labour and emotional blackmails by that horrible witch. Read: WORK SCOPE Only.
It was a job that requires knowledge, alot of research (due to an incapable boss who cant even differentiate between a humidifier and a dehumidifer), alot of analytical and troubleshooting skills and careful planning. Very challenging in technical terms, but much simpler socially. I guess thats the difference between working with instruments and working with people.
Working with people is alot more complicated. You can try to analyze a person's character, but there's no way you can troubleshoot his behaviour. You can't tell him what is right or wrong because seniority counts and rank counts. Well, although the work is much simpler.
I know my initial intention in picking up a job now is just to pass some time. A simple administrative contract is the maximum that I can commit to now, while my focus should stil be in my studies. I am also aware of the reasons why I attempted an adminisitrative contract in the banking sector in the first place. Since I want to work, I might as well take the opportunity to build up my resume at the same time, so that I can move into the business sector after my graduation.
Why the business industry, when my interest are still very much in the technical world? (I said technical, not engineering.... Hee.) To be realistic, exactly how far can a female go, in an engineering field that is very much male-dominated? How far can technical skills bring you? And how far can a technical Degree bring you, in an industry overflowing with Masters and PHD holder? Chemist? Or Senior Chemist?? But once I've started working, I cant help being greedy for a "proper" job that can leverage on my knowledge and skills.
Yes I know I just want everything.
Very often I would just think of myself as a girl with little or no ambitions. I just want a brainless job and make a simple living. I thought I would be happy with just that. Indeed, I will be, I guess. Then again, sometimes I think perhaps I might be happier putting my knowledge to the challenge instead. Who cares if the pay might be just as miserable and that there may not be much room for career development? Yet contrasting to that, there are also times when I think I may actually be secretly craving for the corporate ladder, secretly longing to be successful.
I'm so confused. What exactly do I want?

TGIF!!
TGIF!!!! Twenty-five more "TGIF" to go before my contract with the bank ends. Still hate the mad rush on the zombies-filled trains every morning. But oh, I simply love saying this manz!! :O)
Here's a glimpse of the night view that my temporary office cubicle at the 31st floor offers!
The resolution of my new mobile is pretty bad, so the picture isn't very clear. But still, the view'snot too bad, huh? I guess I had better cherish the view while I'm still seated there. I will be shifting out of that cubicle in approximately two weeks. Sob.
********************
I had one of my rare dining experience at Crystal Jade at Suntec two days ago. It was one of the nicest meal I had in quite a long while, amidst all the junk food that I've been religiously eating everyday. Totally out of point, but I just thought that I should blog it down, so that I can drool over the pictures the next time I read my own entries.
Carp Skin with Ginger slices and Peanuts
This came as a cold-dish. Gosh, I love this stuff!!! Its so springy! The sauce was a tad too salty though. I cant believe it was my first time eating it, felt so "Sua-Ku"! Must order this on every future visit from now on! One whole plate all for myself! U guys can share. Haha.
Pig Trotters Noodles
I like this too! Not very sensible for someone who really should be watching her weight, especially after all the fat comments from a irritating-someone. But who cares, its only once in a blue moon that I dare to indulge myself in the melt-in-your-mouth fats of the trotters. Yummy!

nO MonDaY bLuEs.... YET...
I had the novelty of say "TGIF" for the past two weeks, something that had not even cross my mind over the last 2-3 years... How refreshing!!
Tomorrow's Monday. but I'm not really having much of the Monday-Blues symptom yet. Well, I guess especially not when I'm free from attending any more lessons in the next two weeks. :O)
Perhaps WORK holds a different meaning and purpose to me now... WORK, for the time being... and I must emphasize its ONLY FOR THE TIME BEING, is no longer about financial survival. The monetary output is not an essential factor for now. WORK has in a way, become a past time instead. I really hope to gain an learning experience from this job, and more importantly, discourage a rotting brain. But the the rest are really optional. Commitment is optional, stress is optional... getting bullshit-hit is optional too.
But I do feel a wee bit draggy about work. There doesn't seems to be alot to do. Perhaps, thats because I've only started work for a short two weeks. I know there are definitely tons of stuff to learn. But currently I do not really have a fixed work scope, so it is difficult for my colleagues to delegate any fixed routine to me at the moment. Any work that requires system knowledge is probably not at my level now.
I usually just have enough workload to cover a day, so I always worry about not having enough to do the next day. I guess I'm just too used to the stress of having alot piled onto me from my first job, it just doesn't feel normal to be assigned new task only after another's completion. ><
But I've been "warned" that this is only the beginning though. I really hope I don't regret my words manz!!!
