More and more people are getting more and more strange

That's the mantra for today. 'Today', figuratively.

I mean, how important it is that packaging A is different from packaging B if what you bought is really the content of the packaging?

And how about a girlfriend who keeps wanting to go back to the same place in town because last week she bought a really neat top there and hence, is under the illusion now that that is her only shopping haven?

Now, how about a dentist who behaves like a stalker? Or, hmm, the very young cleaner boy who's really over-friendly at office? Btw, he speaks good English and looks like he should still be in secondary school. Azi and I are very, very curious.

Buy me over to your religion

So, the more job-hunting I do (and i've been doing quite a bit of that this year), the more disillusioned I get.

It's like, everywhere you go, if you still have the kind of lofty aspiration to work for interest AND get decently paid, you just keep getting slammed in the face. The door chime is like, 'wake up your idea!!!'

So, see, if you want to work for something you like and will enjoy, you just have to apologise for the pathetic state of your pocket. The alternative choice, of course, will be to grin stupidly as you work your soul off for something that you feel alienated from. The grin is a direct result of the image of a fat paycheck every month.

Sometimes, i just think 'fuck!' I should have just bloody chose to go Accountancy after my 'A's. Honestly, unless your passion and interest is in banking and finance, or in sucking up to your boss, whatsoever, then you probably can earn a really neat paycheck monthly. Working for the community and social service, education has no correlation to a salary that's acceptable.

And I'm not talking spas and car, I'm just happy to pay off my loan (a direct result of my disillusioning education) and give my parents enough for them to enjoy their retirement and have some basic savings of my own. Is that a lot to ask for?

It's a disillusioning process. Sometimes, I just feel like, everything will be ok so long as I learn from the Jones, and go with the flow. I mean, how many people got lost in this search sooner than me? I'm but one in the majority.

Polling day, Singapore. Sell me your religion.
