原來真的是這樣

可能你們會覺得我永遠都在隨便說說，但你們不會知道沒有被認真對待，敷衍了事的行爲有多大的影響。如果每一次都有這樣的結果，一次兩次無數次過後，誰還會，誰還肯再嘗試？

唯一的好處可能就是明天又多一點時間工作。

Chinese New Year

Some hits, some misses. Kinect was fun, food was way too much, kids are always lovely, violent cousins much. 

That about all summed up the weekend, that is, Saturday to Monday. Not funny to realise that I would be back at work in less than 24 hrs. Holiday no enough!

But for one thing, I realise how old they really look suddenly, and I know that time is pressing. Pensive. 

And also, I realise how much I come to value the talking, chatting, and the lack of it all with one comment. And so I think I finally understood how important it is to me.

Gotta rot for 2 more hrs before going over to uncle's place.

Friendship

There are some kinds of friendship which I don't know what I've done to deserve. It's like this friendship has never disappeared regardless of whether I am overseas or he is overseas and whenever he is back, he will automatically contact me and we will meet up. And then we can talk about anything under the sun as if we have always been talking to each other.

The feeling of being remembered is so precious, and so many other friendships could have gone the same way if one party had taken a bit more effort than the lousy tries. I do know that at least I have a few treasured friendships, and they make my life :)

And there's the colleagues in office who are surely becoming friends (some of them, anyway) and I really relish the moment where I can unguardedly talk (again, it's that some of them) without having to fear anything. And I also realise what kind of people I can tolerate and what kind of people I can't. Good in a way, eh?

Can't wait for CNY to arrive! and gone with the 25, hello to the impending second half of the twenties which will be here before I know it. 

To keep mum

There are a ton of things that I would like to say, especially the bluntness and impatience of it all. But I can't say anything, because I can't say anything to the people here, outside of here no one will understand what I'm talking about and how can I complain to the person whom I know will be taking over the job? 

:(

Resolutions much?

Last yr I refused to do any resolutions because I know I don't keep most of them anyway. But today I've been kinda influenced to think a little more about what I want this year. On hindsight, 2011 was not such a bad year for work. I worked and I enjoyed each and every of the little successes I've had. Friends wise, I believed I had made the effort to keep in contact with whoever I wanted to keep in contact with (not labelled busy for nothing, eh?)

2012 has gone off to quite a good start.

Ok, here's a resemblance of a resolution list (oh no, too much time on FB and this post has stretched from 1 Jan to 2 Jan -_-):

1) French. How many years liao! I must really do it this year. 

2) To pick up something new that I don't previously know.

3) Be more honest with myself.

4) Emote more!

5) I seem to have lost my patience and good temper. I shall try to rein in my biting remarks and sarcasm.. Sometimes. Other times, the people will still deserve it. Haha!

6) Be happy. :)

Wicked

Absolutely loved it! Deeply poisoned with all the OST songs right now. I'm so glad I managed to catch the musical and I think I'm a convert for musicals from now on.. Woke up with Defying Gravity ringing in my ears omg. I loved Kristin and Idina's rendition too! :)

I love the musical so much than the book because I can really feel Elphie and Glinda's friendship being portrayed to deeper levels than in the book (though Glinda appeared more "blondie" in the musical at least for the first half). I also liked how they tied in the scarecrow and Tin Man (though I like the book's as well, but not nearly as much) and made everything flow smoothly - that is probably the musical's largest selling point :)

人心難測

Because change is the only constant. It's scary because no matter how well you thought you know a person, there is always something to catch you by surprise. Sometimes the surprise is small, but sometimes its recoiling. And that is when you start to wonder if the person has ever said the truth before. 就因爲人心難測。You can guess for a million years but would never know whether a person is telling the truth. Maybe Veritaserum should really exist in the world so that there can be some honesty. 

It hit me really strongly because this is the second case that I see him trying so hard at first but in the end for naught. I wonder if I can label them, scum. Or simply fickle minded.

錢不夠用

Did a bit of finances just - realised that I have been spending way too much :( The alarm came when there was a need to transfer money into the spending account for the second time this month to pay off the CC bills at the end of the month. Gosh, it's time to save! I.Must.Save.

On the other hand, need to find time to write some xmas cards for the office people!!

It's so cold today I can just drop dead omg.
