Monday blues... im not in the office but can already feel it dawning even thou im in the comfort of my arm chair, waiting for a 2am for a scheduled game of dota, yes! im still into dota, one important de-stress tool to forget and persevere.
i've more or less figured out wat im gonna do after this 3 mths contract.
lets first try summerising the first 3 wks of corporate world.
wk 1 - felt slightly cheated into the job, my agency only said, they need someone whose good with computers, no doubt 95% of my time im seated in front of a com, but never did i think i'll be doing a geek's job - system administrator. but well the pay's gd and benefits are more than welcomed with both arms. and mentioning the resume, woot.
wk 2 - after learning more of less the minimum to fly solo, i realized doing the job dosen really value-add me as a being, whenever my parents ask hows the job, i reply in chinese "i do useless things, its a waste of time, not something i want to do"
wk 3 - i get to know more of my colleugues and seeing some of them, i reaffirm that im a kampong kid, heartlander, backstreet boy, whichever u call it. i love my zup chai peng and wouldnt care less if ppl look at me with tinted eyes when i take off my shoes and "kiao kah" below the computer desk.
its a wonderful job, stable, relax and in safe territories.
but well not my cup of tea especially when im young, minimal commitment, full of drive to fall and try again. i really like the idea of life after this 3 mths and lets hope i can make it.
P.S. Happy bday HHY and Jon, I had a great time except for the bowling shit. ending the 7th frame with 120 pins and a spare, I would have easily cleared 140. wat a great time for system error.
