Things

Funny that an informative source for buying/selling houses is actually a local forum for beauty and makeup. Although I think it's quite sad that couples here tend to register for flat first before getting married (after getting registered).

Using the HDB website is a pain. I just want to print from a pdf and read everything offline but I've to click lots of links to find the information I require.

This week, shredding became boring at work. I sat in for another meeting and I am thinking of ways to streamline the current process, which is not really part of the job scope but if I succeed, I can have more free time to do other stuff in June. Meeting some interesting people outside of work, which is always good for networking.

Uhhh

If it wasn't for the long weekend, the first week at work would be unbearable. At least the second week is shorter and I have another 8 more to go, with 2 weeks of reservist towards the end. I think I'm just not suited for intensive manual office work. My brain feels relatively unused and I need to find time to settle things outside of the office.

Strangely, I've been getting requests to do weddings, which I wouldn't mind doing if the price is right. Missed out on an editorial job this week and a full-day shoot next week. Really hate seeing my income dipping like crazy.

I'd probably try to finish up the roll in my camera now, need to have these pics ready for submission to Singapore International Photography Festival at the end of the month.

Also, I have learnt a big lesson in life and I'm starting on my job hunt already. Kiasu? Maybe. Scared shitless after being exposed to a dead end job? Yes.

I think I've been rather spoilt in some ways. My part time work and sideline has given me lots of autonomy and freedom in what I do. Hence, when you lock me in a cubicle for 8 hours a day...I can't help but just cry in despair. Bummer.

Day 2

Day 2 at the office.

The most exciting things that happened were shredding paper, teaching the IT guy how to import data from a data source in Excel and making friends over lunch.

The not so exciting part: my job scope.

Need to find ways to do something more meaningful.

Moving Along

One step at a time.

Whenever I see pictures of a younger me, I wish I could go back in time to tell him that things don't look so good in the future. So please, lighten up and be happier.

Unfortunately, I can't do that.

Saved

Finally managed to get an internship through a good friend. Will start work on Monday and end sometime in August.

Just finished my first editorial assignment. Finally breaking into the magazine market!

Things at home ain't looking so good, enough to make a young person jaded.

Oh well, I need immense strength to pull this over.

Paralysis

When a can of worms is opened, what spills out could be so terrifying that you end up staring at the mess, paralyzed.

Unfortunately, there ain't not room for retreat; you gotta pick up the pieces of your life.

Start rebuilding, start constructing - new plans, new hopes.

Fire fighting for the moment but eventually, bigger plans await.

Jaded? Maybe. Defeated? Definitely not.

Live another day for the fight. Eventually, you will survive. Hopefully.
