New job new beginning!
I think I like my new job. I am currently working as a retail executive for one of the small shopping mall located in Orchard Road. Today is the second day and I feel extremely at ease. I guess it is the office environment and the culture. It is pretty much similar to my previous workplace, just of a smaller scale.
The advertising and promotion part piqued my interest and it is relevant to what I am currently studying.
As compared to previous job, my working hours rock despite having to work on certain Saturdays. If I am working half day on Saturday, my total working hours for the week will only be 41 hours! Minus 3 hours if I am not working on Saturdays! And I get to claim 70% of my mobile phone!
I can leave on the dot. I do not have meetings after work hours. We are allowed to Facebook during lunch hours. Awesome right?!
It is no doubt on how an office environment, culture and your interest can deeply affect your feelings towards work. When I was working as sales executive, I dread going to work despite trying hard to be positive, wanting to try something different. Then, I came to realize that there is no point in trying so hard because no matter how hard I have tried, I will still be unhappy.
Only downside? The location. :(

Mundane Life
Life's been mundane and there is nothing much going. I guess the only thing that had been interesting is finding out how some girls can be so shameless and materialistic. They do not deserve to live in this world. Knowing that you can't afford the luxury, don't even attempt to. How sick can you get by asking your significant other to buy for you. Pui. Extremely disgusted.
So I ended one month contract at Kingsmen and my life goes back to the "sleep at 5am wake up at 5pm" routine. I am free so people date me! But! I am broke so do not ask me to spend. HAHA!
Looking forward to a beer session with Ms Goh XL!! Let my pay be in soon!

Accumulated fatigue
I've been really tired for the past week. having to juggle work, family, boyfriend and school. With all the other issues, it's really making me go bonkers. I am also seriously suspecting that I am losing hair. :(
One of my colleague's mum has been diagnose with cancer. It's upsetting to see such a young and innocent girl to be so upset and yet trying to put on a brave front. Honestly I never know what will I do should the same thing happen to me. As cliche as it may sound, life is precious yet vulnerable. So cherish and be thankful for what we have right now.
Tomorrow I probably gonna be a tough day at Marina Bay Sands. Shall go catch some sleep! Good night world!
