work

im so sick of working! argh! a few more days (if my parents decide to keep to their words) and i'll be free! my back is aching, and my arms and legs are breaking. humans are not machines. humans get tired, and humans break down much sooner than machines. sometimes when i operate that machine i really wish i can transform and become a robot and finish up with fixing all those plastic handles in the shortest time possible. everyday i just keep looking at the clock and will time to go by quickly. everyday i listen to weird chinese opera music from this cd that my fellow worker loves. and everyday he sings along to the songs. i shall not comment on how well he sings. sometimes i'll get to listen to bangla music on the radio when the bangla (or is he from sri lanka i don't know) worker takes over. i like my fellow workers because they protect me from the fearsome guard dogs at the factory. now im not so scared of those dogs because they've recognized me and have stopped barking at me like they used to. im happiest when my dad brings me to eat breakfast in the morning, during the few hours i sleep in my dad's car, and when my parents have the time to entertain me with their jokes. that day my mum told me that my dad has a secret admirer who works in the canteen! how cool! and i got to see that woman today. i didn't know my dad was so charming. the woman even confessed her love to him. hahaha. poor lady though, unrequited love.. that's sad. i love it when my dad comes along and helps me out with packing the plastic bags, but i hate it when he has to go for meetings and leave me behind on my own. working is tough, and i finally understand what it means when they say money is hard-earned. these days, i've come to feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for my parents, and their sheer determination which saw them through establishing this company and working so hard every single working day. i've not inherited their incredible passion for this job. if only i did. then i wouldn't whine and complain so much. i need to perservere..

just read huixuan's sms. yay! the dates for our wonderful stayover are finally confirmed! i can't wait! i bet she and hongzhen are on the verge of killing me already, heheheh.


i love my mushroom lamp! it's cute beyond words :)

as time goes by
suddenly, "oh why?"
another blink of the eye
67 is gone
the sun is getting high
we're moving on
