The Final Day... then its freedom!

I love teaching. I get the job satisfaction from it, which my mom claims to be only secondary (she is materialistic in nature, and I was once like that too :X).

I'm so happy these days -- elated yet tired. I work ungodly hours, or so I think xD

Yesterday I'd worked for 11 hours. That was really exhausting, man. 8 hours at the firm facing the computer and getting dehydrated (my eyes, that is) and 3 hours scaring students out of their wits with my stories. Naturally, I also taught what I was supposed to. I'm very responsible okay. But admittedly, it is fun watching their facial expressions at the scary bits. Woopsie I revealed too much x)

My to-do list is getting shorter by the day and that makes me glad. I feel an inexplainable sense of accomplishment each time I mark the box with a tick. Happy, happy!

If my optimism is rubbing you up the wrong way, then I'm sorry. Happiness is supposed to be contagious, and I'm only trying to make you happy. Though I doubt whether it'd work la xD

And sometimes -- no, MOST of the time I wish that I weren't so fish-brained. My memory is like a sieve :/ It makes it all really difficult for me. As in I can't seem to locate things that was just in sight seconds ago. I suspect that its due to my lack of sleep. (Yes, yes, only trying to comfort myself here right now. SIGHHH.)

I miss the cat alot too. And the frog and chicken too.

The cat and the frog are in college, and the chicken is in NS. We're all busy people, though much too preoccupied for my liking.

Oh well. I'll be busy at work too. ITS MY LAST DAY MAN!! :D

And how I wish that it was the weekend...

Today was another boring day at the auditing firm. But when I realised that my colleagues were going to Kanna (they call it mamak),
I was super duper happy!

I was really very happy!

Haha!

Very happy!

I had takeaway maggi goreng without veggies plus chicken (trust me, this chicken bit isn't my idea. I now hold a high disregard for bones, especially tiny ones which resemble edible parts. No elaboration required there, huh). So whilst my colleagues were at Kanna eating, I was at TTC resting. And talking afterward. I crave human company. Its not that I don't get that at work, just that the crowd at work are... much older. There's this age gap thing (let's overlook the language barrier for now, for I do not want to stir up racist issues, even though there's nothing racist about this) which makes communication difficult.

Well, some of them play Mafia Wars though.

STILL, its not really a strong argument in here.

Hmm, so I'd spent the entire morning dealing with the filing cabinet and silently cursing the table (it hates me) each time I knocked my big toe into it. OUCH, man. That table's legs has sharp ends. Anyway its now plastered in cellophane tape (the doing of yours truly), but I doubt that it'd make much difference >.<

And I'd practically gotten scratched by the filing cabinet all over my hands (it hates me too!!). I am now fully convinced that I am simply not cut out for this kind of work. I was the first to leave today (yet again!).

In addition to those little mishaps that I've had today, my lips are peeling. No thanks to the air conditioner! The saddest part is, my fingers seem to have their own mind. So it left me with the only option of nursing a heavily bleeding lip. Double ouch. I'm like some kind of walking disaster machine. No matter where I go, I'll injure myself. Somehow =/

Anyway, I'm currently blogging at home because my mom is very unhappy over the fact that I've been eating out every night. So yeah. I'm trying my best to be filial. I'm making a lot of effort, seeing how much I'd prefer to go out.

And speaking of going out and staying out till late at night, I've lost contact with loads of my old pals. The drift has occurred, and I can once again assume the title of being clairvoyant. Somehow I have an uncanny knack of predicting things.

I could analyse you for yourself! Haha. Loads of people find my advice helpful, you know... but please, don't do a Karluis Quek and repeat yourself a thousand and ten times. Because, nice as I try to be, I'm not exactly renown for being patient. Heed those words!

When will it be over??

The sad truth is, I hate my job. My 9-6 job.

And so, my day begins at night.

Okay, so evening is more like it. But then again, night gives us a feel of mystery and sends unexplainable waves of thrills down you. Or is that just me??

To answer that question in your mind, should it ever surface, is "No, I don't party." Even though I'd love to. Its a very good stress reliever. But its not for me. Or so I think. If I'm not mistaken, its probably been a week since I'd last sat down with my family for dinner. I feel guilt oozing all over me already.

But, I'm having far to much fun to change my current lifestyle.

I feel really unfilial for staying out till 11pm every night. But then again, its worth it. Every single second after work. Really.

During work, I'll count the hours to lunch time impatiently, then count the hours to 6pm. Six is the magic word. It is the word of the fortnight (pardon the odd time period, because I just happen to be serving a 2 week sentence in the auditing firm) in my dictionary. And somehow, it's miraculous, the way I auto-recharge myself by just stepping into tutor room and drinking in the atmosphere.

You know, I think that I should do something more constructive in future whenever I'm at TTC. Such as reading those thick grammar books or something likewise. If I stopped learning, I'll age. Mentally, that is. But closely tailed physically.

What I don't like about my job is the workload. It seems like I can never finish my job. Because each time I proudly present something completed, I'm given a new pile of work to complete. And that is just daunting. Besides that, I do not get any satisfaction from it. I won't feel accomplished. Not at all. Because those tasks I'm assigned to are much to menial for even me. And that's saying something.

The thing that irks me the most is that I do not get to use my brain at all!!!

That seriously sucks. To those out there in college, embrace your college life. Embrace your youth. And use your brains, for goodness' sake.

Yesterday I went back home at 11pm too. It was tutors day out and we went for a movie and dinner. Then I began my massive printing job. To get 37 copies of literature supplements done. It was an attempt all right. Not a very successful one, however. I almost tore my hair out -- it was just so... infuriating.

On Saturday I met English Department's mystery man Eu Chern. After so long. I went back home at 12.30am on that night because it was pretty hard to refuse Shi Yun's invitation to her house. I didn't have dinner okay, so that was über tempting!!

I feel that my blogging style seems somewhat dictative. How queer. Anyway I really shouldn't procrastinate anymore. I have to get down to correcting my students' essays and homework!! (Note to self: Do it, Stephanie!) The future doctors Say Chiew and Wei Quan are really bad company when I'm trying to de-procrastinate myself! xD

Gosh I'm exhausted. I've maxed myself out for today, and I look forward to... tomorrow evening!!! Haha. Goodnight and goodbye, people. I dread work by the way. God please help me and make this week come to an end soon, so I can kiss my job at the auditing firm goodbye! I wonder how my colleagues managed to stay on for so long, really.

Its amazing you know, once you think about it. They dread it more than I do. They can't wait to go home every single day, but just don't want to be the first to do so. So I willingly take that honour and saunter out of the office at six on the dot. That gives me an adrenaline rush. I know it sounds like its no biggie, but then again, you're not working at an auditing firm. So yeah :)

I have, a strong distaste towards number-related jobs.

After working at an auditing firm for merely two days, I'm dead set AGAINST being an auditor or an accountant.

My colleagues favorite part of the job is -- are you ready? -- LUNCH HOUR.

WTH right. After going through so many obstacles in obtaining their degrees.

Reality shocked me. All of a sudden, I feel so... näive.

I do not see myself working my ass off like this for a living. The downside of being an auditor is that there are no fixed job hours for you. Everyone enters at the same time, yet leave at different hours. Of course, you're required to work for a minimum of 8 hours a day.

Don't finish your work, don't go home.

Mr. Tee's son is also my colleague. We came in on the same day! Haha. Today Mr. Tee dropped by the office because he needed to smoothen out some problem with his car. My job is very mundane. I'm just doing computer filing, information storage and recording income tax stuff. I hope that I can make it through my two weeks.

I am the least organized person I know, and ironically, here am I doing this job. The job of neat freaks, so I call it. It totally contradicts my character. Look at the English Department stuff and you'll know that I was there. However, I may not necessarily admit that it was my doing! But alot of the mess was my fault xD

Oh well. But I'm learning stuff. So it did not defeat my initial purpose of signing myself up for this terror ride. Okay that line was an exaggeration, full stop. Anyhow, this year is turning out to be better than I'd expected! I feel so... productive. *bigwidesmile*

And every day after work, I'll go to TTC to recharge my human battery. It doesn't take long -- a mere 5 minutes would do the job. I really like my job there, and I'm liking it more by the day :)

Tomorrow I'm on leave from my auditing firm job as I have classes at TTC. My dear Form 3 students. Joy. I hope that the cough won't return. But really, I secretly prefer that class of mine over other classes. That class which made me ill ;)

My to do list is endless. I'd drafted it out whilst waiting for the files to copy this afternoon xD So far I've done nothing on the list. Except for go TTC and find an essay book. Useless book. It doesn't count either. I have notes for 2 forms to be completed by this Friday. And a full time job and part time jobs to cope with.

I wonder how will I manage. I hope I can manage.

Packed timetable O_O!

Hmm, so my weekend was great, and Friday was awesome! I'll start about Friday then. It was Gerko Day in CHS. I went back with Shu Ying after completing my placement test at the British Council (56/65, boo!) and admired the newly renovated bandroom. What a sight to behold. LOL. I mean it la.

Then I went back to TTC to play computer. It was so boring that I sat in Yew Ho's class for an hour. Well that wasn't as boring as the computer. Haha. I just craved human company. Then I went shopping with Miaw for her college clothes. He mother was complaining about the state of her wardrobe and her daily attire. What a good reason to go shopping!

I know I sound so boring and monotonous right now. Bear with me or quit reading lah. So anyway, I had dinner with Miaw, her brother and Saw Jin at the Taman Desa pasar malam. Asam Laksa for me with the incurable cough. *coughcough*

Overall, it was a pretty eventful day. I learned how to play Chinese Chess from Miaw's bro and Saw Jin. Boys over Flowers bored them. Well, Miaw too. They stoned throughout the show and complained of bad commercials. *coughRibenacough*

So that was my Friday. My Saturday was spent at TTC. Had a seafood dinner at night with a family friend. Their treat. I passed on Alaskan Crab, finding out much later that it costs close to RM1000 a crab. That was really freaky. Still, I don't fancy seafood much and I took mouse-sized bites throughout the night.

I missed You Tian's wedding dinner boohoo. So much for my dear mom "you're not feeling well and you're teaching 5 hours on Saturday and we have a dinner tonight". Hmm, it was pretty hard to find a comeback for that.

Oh well. I spent today sleeping, so it went by pretty uneventful. I love sleeping, man. I'm such a pig. Oink!

x) Busted.

Till next time!

Filled to the brim with happiness :)


Today I've been using the computer for the entire day. Since morning till now. Well this morning my computer gave way, so I went to TTC to use the computer x)

I love TTC's computers!! They're all so speedy and responsive. Me likey! :D

So yeah, I changed my blogskin again. Its not complete yet no thanks to my dysfunctional Photoshop. It worked okay just now!!! Grr.

I'm still coughing and sniffing. Its not going away anytime soon. Pout. I really wanna make a quick recovery so I can enjoy everything better.

Yesterday I went to The Star's Edufair with my parents. Saw Miaw and friend, Karluis, Hui Sin, Nicholas, Kok Shien and Soo Yi Wei. Since Miaw was pretty preoccupied, I was stuck with Karluis. Oklah I don't mean to sound so bad la. He did accompany my parents and I around KL, cross roads during green lights and sweat like a cow (all because he was so smart to wear two shirts). And he did treat me to a drink at San Francisco's Coffee House.

Went home with Miaw and had dinner with her. I enjoy spending time with my bestie a lot! She was doing spring cleaning, and so, I brought home quite a lot of her rubbish. She is an awesome teacher! Haha. Her new Cambodian maid knows how to greet my mom! In English!! I'm super impressed.

I'm still all hyped up over yesterday! It was really fun... even the waiting-for-Karluis-impatiently-outside-a-shop episode. Oh well. Good time sure flies!

Ooh btw the cat passed her undang!! :D
Congratulations, my dear!

busy bee


Being busy is fun, you know. Just so you know :P

I am currently teaching at TTC and probably starting on a new job soon. I'm not entering college or doing anything about my studies till I get my results, so now life is awesome for me!

My blog will be close to dead anyway since I won't have the time to update. Haha so I'm just updating for the sake of updating now. I actually find blogging a waste of time anyway. Well, these days lar.

And I realised that Karluis is a good chat buddy. Somehow. LOL!
