i haven't been here in a while too! so here's a quick update:

1. highlight of last week- we will rock you with xp, shuj and sam! i must say watching it for the second time around was definitely not disappointing. on the contrary, i enjoyed it even more. it was probably due to the awesome company and the energy of the theatre. though it wasn't a sold-out performance, it was a hell lot of fun. compared to the 1st time, the audience was more enthusiastic this time round. everyone was up on their feet and cheering by the last scene. we were no exception. wow, it was so awesome! i'm so glad i went for it again! the cast was spectacular and i got to see the killer queen and not her understudy. she was stunning. very charismatic. amazing voice too! all in all, it was a great experience! loved loved loved it! too bad it's not here permantly. oh well, all good things must eventually come to an end, unfortunately.

2. work hasn't been fine and dandy. the appeal finally came to a favourable end. fortunately, the work load has lightened and now, we're doing more admin stuff. at least it's a change but i'm really getting tired of working and having to rush everywhere as a result. i guess that's just part of working life which i have to get used to. but sometimes, i just wish i could just take a step back and slow down. the sad thing is, i haven't had a proper dinner or been able to enjoy my dinner every weekday. i'm only able to do so on weekends. i think that's pretty sad. oh well, at least weekends are my sanctuary. i'm content with staying at home and doing nothing! it doesn't help that things in the office are quite sad as well. it's miserable. i can't wait for the end of may, when i can finally be free! free from the rushing, free from the dullness in the office and free from constant bombardment, which makes life oh so miserable.

3. i would like to tell you about this guy i met. but first, let me tell you about this lift. to operate this lift, you have to key in the floor number you wish to go to and it'll point you to the lift you have to take. then came this guy, who pressed his desired floor and was 'assigned' to the same lift as me. however, seeing that the lift was taking a long time to come, he decided that by pressing other floors, he'd be assigned to a different lift which would hopefully come faster than this lift. so that's exactly what he did. he started pressing many floors. no, i shouldn't say pressing, i should use the word jabbing with much force, so much, in fact, that they almost broke. unfortunately for the both of us, no matter which floor he keyed in, it all pointed to the same lift. WTF. so, when we entered the lift, he alighted wayy before me. thus, before reaching my floor, i had to stop at so many other floors where no one boarded or alighted. that TOTALLY made my day. fucking asshole. what a bloody fucktard with no fucking brains.

4. there are sooo many books i wanna read. 7 and counting. i managed to find all of them but unfortunately, they all cost more than $25. so, if i were to buy all, it'll cost me a total of at least or about $175. man, that sucks. i really really hope i can find and get them!! and the worst part is, i can't really rank which ones i wanna read first. i guess i wanna read: my friend leonard, change of heart, notes from an exhibition and where the heart is. these are the ones i am really dying to read on top of my secret keeper, which i just bought. all i have to do now is keep hunting and finish my current read, which i don't really like. yet, i wanna finish it to make my money worth while, even though i totally regret buying it. too dramatic for my life. oh well, we make mistakes and we learn.

ok, i think that's enough. tomorrow is yet another sad day in the office. on a brighter note, i'm beginning to enjoy trainings a bit more now cos i'm getting more comfortable with the np girls and that makes trainings more fun. and, the bangkok trip and now hongkong trip are both looking good! (: so hopefully things will start looking up. i really hope so.

xoxo,
