Contagious

I figured that the only way to survive was to feel happy. Act happy, feel happy.

Perhpas i can infect the seniors to be happy.

Then perhaps i will really feel happy.

I didnt count on their depression to get to me first.

And then i realised that i've never missed amelia and chao chia's warm smiles this much before.

I guess the people around you really matters.

Shenton Way

Shenton Way only appeals to you when you're 16, gazing in awe at the office ladies in power suits and heel.

In time you grow to realise that there's nothing more to it, except low morale as each day passes, going through the monotonous routines of being brainwashed with the importance of ethics.

Soon you realise that you have no time for your family, friends, and partner.

Soon you'll see the premature wrinkles, coupled with the frown that seems too deeply etched on your face that you cant get rid of it.

Shenton Way exists as a fantasy.

I'm living in it! How very exciting!

1 day to work

"Once we watched a lazy world go by,
Now the days seem to fly"

1 day to work.

The scorching afternoon sun is still an uninvited guest despite days of rain. It still gives me a headache no matter how much i try to avoid it.

Secretly, i've decided to set up a "install an air con fund", but i suspect no one's going to contribute to it.

So much for being a tree hugger. Ha!

I've come to a horrible realisation that the next 40 years of my life is about audit papers and financial statements, not to mention the blazers and clean shaves (for the legs la) involved in earning that 2.4k that the papers never seem to stop mentioning about.

It seems almost imprinted that my MSN nick comes with a tag screaming @work for 16 hours everyday.

Add an inscription screaming 2 hours indulging in alcohol, seeing how the insane PWC peeps chiong twice a week. I have no idea how they sustain such expenditure.

Oh well, what can i say? At least people will be staring at your briefcase and actually envying you.

Yea, despite how you feel about yourself.
