*Bo Chapness is just a state of the mind

To be quite frank, the Dear had been saying that I had jumped from the frying pan straight into the grill/stove top/fire. And I think I will have to agree. It makes perfect sense since I had been complaining about a number of things not in the order I had come to expect since I started at the new "work place".

I had given the fair amount of chances to certain people here as, well, people being humans are not infallible. Time and again they have come up short. The kind of attitude I see towards their work and the pride they have in fulfilling their duties are, hmmm ... The same as the place I had left.

So I am disheartened. To see the state of *bo chap-ness so inherent here. A handful of colleagues seemed to not have that attitude but the majority always wins, yes ?

And so, I have adopted the majority. Behold, the new *bo chap me. She who will fly high in her cape of T-Shirts and Polo-Ts to office !

*Bo chap means a don't care attitude frequently used as a local slang

I saw Tony Stark today

I did.

I was on my second connecting bus to work today, minding my own business and listening to the songs on my iPod and the next thing when I looked up towards the boarding passengers, Tony Stark !!

He came on at the bus stop before Newton MRT station in his glorious peach polo T. With his moustache neatly trimmed, he didn't fool me. Everyone else thinks he's just an ordinary guy but I know better.

He is Tony Stark !!!

In his normal guy persona, I assumed he is on a mission.

Best of luck, Stark !! Or shall I say Ironman ?

Year End, Post Depression

Yeah, another 2 whole months before the year 2011 starts. And what a cracking start it will be. To be quite honest, with all the upheavals happening in my life in the past few months, time did pass by very quickly.

The change of the second residence. The change of employment. The change of my status with him. We are like two peas in a pod. Snuggling cosily and acting in synchrony. Until someone takes us out of the pod and put us in the wrong positions and place. Yikes ! We fight and we argue and we cry and we decide, we want to be back in our cosy corners and we made up. We are friends again.

*hugs* to the one I love and adore and abide and drive crazy.

We live, we love and we die. All in the natural progression of life.

Cheers !

A rainy, wet Sat 'noon

I'm hungry. Waiting for my grilled sausages to materialise, never to happen in the not so distant future..

Gimme my grilled sausages!!

My good man.

Reasons for my daily headaches

1) Addicted to Panadol (need 2 tabs every morning to stave off the throbbing)

2) Insufficient sleep (average about 5 hours every night, except the weekend)

3) Late caffeine drip (a plastic bag every morning to last the whole day)

4) High Blood Pressure (at the rate my work is piling up, no wonder)

5) Work monitor is too close (no space, no space, no space)

6) Glasses need a change (astigmatism ... arghhh ... )

So there you have it. If you think I should add on to my list of reasons, please drop your comments ! :-)

Me, mine and I

What can you say about people that had not been said before ? People are generous and on the flip side, people are selfish. People can be kind and unkind. They can be oh so thoughtful and yet there are more thoughtless beings walk around. In a daze.

I feel kind of privileged to be able to know and meet all sorts of people. The nice ones, the not so helpful ones, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Generous = Cheeky Monkey - for re-contracting his mobile plan so I can get a new phone.

Selfish = Me - for wanting to get a new phone even though my current mobile is still usable.

Kind = Elin for showing her care and concern to her colleague who's being "ill-treated" by the higher-ups

Unkind = The higher-ups who are taking advantage of a foreigner by making unreasonable demands and expecting miracles.

Thoughtful = The coffeeshop uncle who knows my coffee order and had never failed to make me an excellent plastic bag of coffee to keep me awake every morning

Thoughtless = The idiots to whom Cheeky Monkey are sharing his living space with

Just a bit of write up to end the lunch hour. Cheers !

Another work week

Another day in the sun.

Thank you for keeping me alive. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy another day in the sun. Thank you for the smile on his face this morning. Thank you for the wonderful lunch and excellent coffee. Thank you for the wonderful times amidst the not-so nice people.

Thank you for giving me another day.

Cheers ! :-D
