Whoops! been this long since I last blog? To whoever is looking in, I'm sorry your armpit grew webs while waiting for me this one. haha... Okay, nevermind, not funni.
I've got a crush. Wait. Lemme correct that. I've got a new crush. Ya, the last one was... ay, terminated soon as he asked my opinion on this girl that he's interested in. But, we still keep in contact. Of course! I don't dispose my crushes just like that, ya. What a waste of men who actually managed to impress me! X-crush aside, I've got a new crush target.
Of course there is no way I'm gonna reveal or even hint who he is. Those who know will know, and those who do not shall never know.
I think it's silly. Like, HELLO! Aren't you a bit too old for having crushes? No, I don't believe age has much to do with the eligibility to have crushes. But yes, I have to admit that I do feel quite silly giggling, smiling to myself on the train, filled with people still dragging their soul away from Slumberland. It just makes me happy to think of it, him, whatever. At least, it's a great way to start a morning. And a great motivation at work.
Anyway, I trust that this phase will soon pass, too. But, for now... *giggles*.

Okay, admit it. I really miss school. No. Not just school. I miss studying. Some people miss school, as in the schooling environment and the flexibility of school time. But I really miss school AND studying. Studying has never been too much of a chore to me. Ya, according to Anna, that makes me a total freak. So be it. At least, I don't have to wait till I get to work to realise how much better being a student is.
Anyway, today's the first day of my temp work with Gartner. I guess everything takes some getting used to. And, admittedly, it's always difficult to get out of your comfort zone and embark on a new phase and well, simply put, resistant to changes. The colleagues are fine, the supervisor is very kind and patient.
But, nothing beats coming home after a day out there. I rushed home for dinner before I had to rush to tuition. My quick dinner comprised of rice, drunken steamed prawns and bittergourd and cauliflower soup. Tell you, it felt like one of the best meals I've had for some time. Yes, I expressed my appreciation to my Mummy, who was just a tad surprised that her daughter was so sweet today. *opps.. hee
I could really and would really want to write so much more and perhaps, even write some journal. Like real journal. but, seems that time is not on my side tonight. Looks like gotta end it here....

Okay, people. After erm, two and half months of being in the unemployed grad category, I'm going to begin work tomorrow. Temp nature, nevertheless, still work.
I've been told many times by different people that they are envious that I've been and am having lotsa fun during my stay in the above-mentioned category. Let's see. "Never procrastinate what you can accomplish today." Especially fun. hehe
How to have fun when you are broke to the extent that your bank accounts are near debit balance (if that's possible)?
1st, have all ur meals at home! Think about this and be honest. I know I am capable of spending excessively on the things that will take 5 or less hours to go through my colon system and then only to come out as fertilizers for some greenery (come to think of it, not even that useful! I don't shit in the open fields ya...I'm not a cow lah.. haha). In the process, adding all those unintended inches on all those unintended places in my anatomy. tsk. Eating at home saves me a minimum of $5 per day.
2nd, whatever you do, try to share the costs with your friends. Like? Pool! okay, that's for me only. Cos it's my new fave past time. N a good 2 hours can be killed with $3 if you are going with a couple friends, before 5pm.
3rd, spend 30 seconds to use that imagination capability of yours, specifically before going to the cashier to pay for something that's oh-so-cool (but you don't really need). Goes something like 'cool! so cute! not so expensive too.... hmmm...' At this point, you've gotta ask this very crucial question - 'Do I really need this?' Imagine you bringing it home. What are you going to do with it? It is juz another incremental item on your cool-but-extra list of things? No matter how cheap it is, it's always cheaper not to buy.
Oh! I gotta run.... I'm startin my pilates class today. hee..
Fun is everywhere and within yourself. You don't need money to have fun. Juz the right attitude and mentality. *wink
