My mind has gone all soft

Zao an~~~~~

Yayy, look… mandarin!

Believe it or not, I believe I have to start learning how to speak some decent Chinese.

Colleagues at my work place are all mandarin-speaking… when they are on a hot topic about some special kid with some special condition, I’d be dying to hear what they have to say, but all I’ll hear is “kili-kulu-kili-kulu” -___-

Work is coming along fine. Lemme chui sui (blow water–> boast) a bit…

When I got confirmed, my boss initially promised me RMxxxx, BUT… she mentioned this…

“In view of your good performance, your salary will be increased and revised to RMXXXX”

I’m damn happy and its really a boost for my self-esteem. After all, this is LITERALLY my first job. My first PAID job. Yes, before this I was a work-virgin. True I’ve volunteered at some places, interned at some centres……. but its not the same cuz I’m not getting paid… so there were no expectations and pressure there!

I’m doing pretty well for a first-timer. Please gimme due credit, terima kasih *peace*

Working is all good.

You get financial independence. Do anything you want with the money you earn with your own two hands.

You get pretty much the freedom to do most of the things you couldn’t do when you were a student.

When you get home from work, you can literally bum on the sofa and stare into space (not like I do that, I’m just saying……….. *shifty eyes*).

You get name cards that you can give ppl and act all business-like while doing it.

Literally,  its a whole new phase of life… its an adventure for some and a hurdle for others.

Still, I can’t help but miss the times when I was merely a happy-go-lucky student without a care in the world. All that was important back then was mindless gossips about our classmates, whether I wanna have maggie goreng for lunch or roti planta, should I or should I not skip class…

OK la, thesis period was pretty sucky, but still I knew in the back of my head that it was just a HUGE ASS assignment and that once its handed over, I’m DONE!

As a student, I don’t gotta wake up at CB hours in the morningz when its nice and raining outdoors. Even if I’ve got a morning class, I’ll just SKIP it. Yes, even if its Miss Winnie’s class. I’m lanci like that.

Now that I’m working….. I gotta pay bills, pay car, pay for my own food, pay for my own household stuff, pay parents (ok , this one I’m not complaining), pay petrol… -___-…. As you can see, ENDLESS paying.

But its something we gotta do, so no point complaining It’s a blessing I get to have the ability to work and to be able to earn more than enough to support myself.

By the way, my iPhone 3GS is arriving in approximately a month’s time!!!!!!!!! *Excited* And it’s gonna be WHITE COLOR, WARNA PUTIH, PAK SIK, BAI SE!!!

And and and, I’m saving up for another Europe trip next year February. Yeah, now that I’m working, I have to make use of public holidays, which means I’m leaving for Europe during the Chinese New Year holidays -___-. Good thing my company gives us a long break… I think we’ll only start work on the 9th day of CNY *yay* I love my boss.

So anyway, dropping by London again as usual. Thinking of heading up north to Scotland thereafter and then back down to Ireland. But my second option would be to head down south (HAHAHAHAHAHA… I’m laughing for some very dirty reasons) to Spain and Portugal… where its warmer.. I hate to be cold

Any suggestions anyone??? Lemme know! For now, I gotta run. Gotta get ready for my appointment soon (oh yes, I’m blogging from work).

In the Ris Low’s language… “I love my job because it is SOOOO me! It’s so BOOMZ!”

Tata,
