Work has been hectic hectic and hectic. Have I mentioned hectic? The latest happenings in the office has caused me to be doubtful of my capabilities. Maybe I'm not as good as I think I am.

I have toyed with the idea of taking a year off from work. or Half a year. I need a break from real life, if that's possible, and just... go. Disappear. Travel to places I've never been before. Do charity work in Cambodia. Refresh my view of Life. Find myself - I seem to have lost my character somewhere. Rethink what's important to me. Plan what I want to do.

A pity my bank account won't be able to support all that. All I can do is sit in the little cubicle known as my work space, and dream.




I wish I knew what to do, what to say
If only you weren't so far away
I wish I understood what you're going through
But I have to admit I have very little clue
Perhaps that makes me a bad friend
But I'll leave that decision to you
Just know that though I may not understand
I'll be here for you

I was on leave pretty much the whole of last week but came back to work today tired and dissatisfied. It shouldn't be this way. I was close to tears on the way to work, thinking "I wanna go home"

Melvin and I managed to watch UP (in 3D). The 3D bit was a lil disappointing as there were several scenes that didn't call for 3D at all. And the 3D visual wasn't all that fantastic. If you have not caught it, don't bother with the 3D version. It isn't worth the money.

There were a number of disappointments last week. Mostly with our local cinemas.

First, my new DBS card came with this voucher that allowed me to purchase 5 movie vouchers + a movie pass for $40. I went down to Cathay and was told that they didn't have the vouchers with them. The girl at the counter said she'll give me a call when the vouchers came in. It's been more than 6 days and still no word.

Then I went to GV at Marina on Thursday afternoon to get my 1-for-1 birthday offer. It's apparently an offer for all GV members. When I got there, wanting to watch 'Orphan', I was informed that I can't use the offer voucher for new movies. Fine - then I asked the counter girl what movie CAN i use the damn voucher for, since it's Thursday afternoon and the cinema isn't full anyways. Her answer? "Umm everything we're screening is new"

"So you're telling me, I have a voucher for my birthday which cannot be used for new movies, and everything you're screening is new. So in other words, the voucher is absolutely useless"

No doubt, GV and Cathay will be hearing from me very soon on their policy making.

I had an appointment on Thursday morning for a facial. The word is had. On wednesday afternoon, the damn company called to say "Sorry, we scheduled you wrongly. We have an overseas training arranged for all staff tomorrow and are unable to do ur facial" I said fine. If they didn't want my business, I'll take it somewhere else.

Is there any wonder why I'm grouchy even after a week's leave?
