I've been playing this game on Facebook called "Hell's Kitchen" and the freaky thing is that it kinda feels like my job! There are always 101 things to juggle, the juggling has to be done to perfection within a given time, and yes, if you fail to get your juggling act together, the boss gets to call you a donkey, or some other insult he fancies that day.
I soooo want to suggest to my HR to put potential recruits through this Facebook game, just to test how well they hold up to stress and insults. Better than personality tests imho!
(and that rhymes.)
Met two friends at lunchtime today. 'Met' as in a chance meeting, not by appointment. I simply ran into them at the food court - they were at the next table - how coincidental is that? And so after my original lunch kakis were done with their food, I moved to my friends' table and gatecrashed their lunch gathering. Amazing how we could chatter on and on despite the fact that we haven't seen each other in years, and also how this lunch gathering was made possible by none other than Chance, Fate or whatever name this queer force goes by.
This made my day! :)
I've begun to jobhunt...sort of, anyway. I mouseover job ads but hardly click on them. The few I do eventually click on, I take three days to consider before I do so, and even then, sometimes I withdraw the application a few hours after.
I have been hesitant for a few reasons. The job market doesn't seem too rosy to begin with. And despite the many problems I'm having with my job, far more than I've ever had with other jobs, I still feel somewhat attached to it because I know there will never be another job quite like it. It's not one of those generic cookie-cutter positions you can find in any company on the street. Once I'm outta here, it's goodbye forever. "Ouch" if I stay, "ouch" if I go. There's no winning this game, is there?
Hopefully something happens to end this dilemma, otherwise I'll be stuck at this pendulum thingy till goodness-knows-when. *Tick-ok-I-quit-Tock-nah-i-want-to-stay*
这种沉默, 是不言而喻的默契, 还是早已话不投机,半句多?
看着那既熟悉又陌生的面孔,在遗憾过去与庆幸现在之间, 这是什么心情?

Practical words from a friend:
"When you are in doubt, then don't go into it. When you bet on uncertainty, it is gambling."
When taken out of the original context that my friend was speaking in, I think the statement can be applied to many aspects of life. And part of me still want to take that gamble - with happiness, for instance.

但气完之后仍然会记得金轮始终对自己有恩。
真是矛盾。*闷*

嗯。我要加油。
Thomas just introduced this song to me - just listening to the chirpy tune and cutesy lyrics makes me happy already. *tickled* Reminds me of the singalong tunes that the band 旺福 used to churn out - anyone knows what happened to them?

Random pix of the skies from my F31D.
Little yellow blooms reaching out for the cheery blue skies and happy cotton-candy clouds.
Dramatic clouds at Marina Barrage. The harsh sunlight created a lighted rim around the
roof structure which added to the surreal effect.
The sunrise says, "Heyo, sleepyhead, wake up to another beautiful day!"
And the sunset says, "Good job, that was a day well-spent.
Here's another light show, your reward."
