Simplicity

I am so NOT looking forward to lunch tomorrow. Help!!!

In the most simple manner, I have welcome 2008 into my life. First of all, allow me to share the best news of the new year…..

I HAVE GOT A QUEUE NUMBER FOR TELOK BLANGAH TOWERS!!!! 111 out of 6000 over people. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 (my magic number!)

When Mr Poto shared this news with me, I still couldn’t believe my ears. We have failed so many times that I have lost hope for getting a good queue number for the flats that we applied. Until I saw the website with my own eyes, I still found it unbelievable. Now, that I have received a letter from HDB, it still feels very surreal to me. I mean, me….having to buy a house of our own. It finally hits me that I am certainly growing up. But, we will still have to wait for 5 years to get our house. Seems like such a long long time to go. And patience is definitely not my virtue.

The first week of work has been sooooo busy that I felt as though I live for work. It’s scary. I refuse to allow that theory apply to me, hence I tried to stay detach after I get off from work, which is around 9 plus already. But somehow, someone will always pull me back to work with all her phone calls. I felt as though I was a doctor, one who was always on call.

There were still a few hiccups along the way, but nothing we cannot handle. We have been through worse scenarios. One colleague of mine broke down amidst one of the hiccups. I was there to console her. Well, it’s quite funny how I look forward to the last week of the term when it’s just the first week. Somehow, in my position, I simply couldn’t really show my lack of enthusiasm. Hence, I chose to stick to myself. At least, I don’t need to lie.

It’s back to spending my off days all alone, by myself. I have managed to catch up with some of the movies in my computer - Hairspray and 2 days in Paris.

Both of the shows are wonderful! Totally my kind of show. Hairspray’s message is DARE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. It’s such a great message, but one that is hard to follow, especially when one don’t even know what one’s dreams are. And that’s how yours truly feels.

2 days in Paris is filled with witty dialouge between the 2 lead actors. It speaks of truth and embodies the complicated levels of relationships. Having a relationship with another person is not easy. How can one love someone so much, and after that be able to hate that very same person? Loving someone is never easy, especially when he or she has betrayed your trust before. The classic question: how can I ever trust you again? I don’t really have an answer to this answer. Perhaps, deep down inside you can never trust that person again, depending on your personality. But, on the surface, both parties have to work harder to earn back that trust, right baby? What’s funny is that after watching the show, it deters my dream of going to Europe for my honeymoon. Perhaps, I should go to an English-speaking country. I am seriously contemplating spending the first few days of our honeymoon at a beach resort.

It has been great catching up on these shows on my off days, but here’s the truth. The hard cold truth…I miss having the same off days with you. This bare fact makes me wanna leave my job.

Here’s my favourite song in Hairspray to end this entry on a light note!
