my first splurge from my pay, need a new working bag that can fit all my nonsense.

and yes i'm supposed to be working my butt off not online shopping. haha.

janice. back to work. hate to be in the office for a whole day.

shorty update. my right eyebrow is twitching.

work at my workplace is rather chillax in some way, i don't see my collegues every single day, like today, most of them are out. this makes me miss conducting classes cause i can see all the younger people. beats hanging out with the older/ married peps in the office while i try my best to finish my work and surf facebook, reply emails and what not.

we had a mini gathering at Adi and Luz's hse on sunday, was quite fun eating malay food then having wii times and F1 at the same time. Re and the others were addicted to Hafiz Koh the presenter for Singapore's F1. met an ex colleague's bf who is a photographer that lent me his super PRO Nikon SLRs to fiddle with, the feeling of holding 3kg of thousand of dollars i felt the stress. no photos from my camera though. maybe only 2.

played dumb and dumber games, laughed and headed home at 1130 all because Re wanted to play street fighter. but he was rather sweet, to prove that he'll wake up at 7am the next morning, he sent me a sms at 7am. haha. thought he was joking. that lucky dude doesn't need to work everyday.

boys boys boys.

class on friday! corny activities. shopping on sat!

PS: decided not to disclose any more names of peeps or companies so i'll use short forms. :)

Hello sad blogi should add some photos soon. this weekend!

till then, bonding with the workplace peeps has been good. seafood with the besties tmr.

janice.

its been 3 weeks since work has started. awesome because pay day is tmr. kids are starting to piss me off big time, yet they endear me sometimes. what an irony.

okay. i'm off to read and then to the library. i miss reading. and i miss perth more. shopping comes when the moolas come.

janice. regrets bring you no where.

i think i will go crazy soon. seriously.

everyone is giving me different points of view. how the hell am i to satisfy everyone. gross.

chill. i need to chill and sleep.

janice. moolas come in 5 days. whee.

facebook seems to open doors to people's lives. i've found out that way too many of my friends are getting/ have gotten married, i missed my graduation ceremony for the one person that i was tempted to give everything up for. YES HOCK ANG!! its all your bloody fault that i skipped my graduation for you. to go to Brisbane to attend your bloody ceremony. how gross is this.

anyway, the lovelies are coming over to my place tmr to munch, watch(movies) and play (wii). i just realised that the last photo i took was freaking ages ago. hai. my camera should come out of its lovely pouch soon. or maybe the fad is over. or maybe it will come back like fashion. hmm.

work has been good to me. boss says he is impressed (for now, complacency won't help). but the worse thing was when he sent me back to the east, he started evangelising to me. OMG. i was STUCK in the car, with MY BOSS, trying to make me consider going back to church. nvm about that, religion is an opinionated matter that evokes alot of emotions.

anyway, senget & friends and min came over to work on Monday, didn't have much time to talk to them because i had to teach that day and I had to stick around with the main trainers to calm my nerves. my first official class, teaching water rockets in a secondary school, with my boss as my assistant. Glam! and i made it through. can't wait for tmr and Monday. i really need a break, but i've gotta finish up some more work before Tuesday, teaching again.

should meet up with my uni peeps soon. haven't seen them in ages. AGES.

janice. i have a new found respect for all teachers primary and secondary. *salutes

I've officially started work for slightly more than 1 week. and i can tell you, its freaking tough, but as sadistic as it sounds, i'm actually enjoying it. boss says i have to have a super steep learning curve and i'm really experiencing it now.

I'm the marketing executive and curriculum trainer for a small company that conducts science and math enrichment courses for primary, secondary and JCs. And it seems i've been working forever, because i have to understand things as fast as you snap a finger. Boss asks me to re brand the company, do all the marketing stuff, redo the website and brochure for newest products, attend sales presentations. And i have to teach in classes when there insufficient trainers and assist when there are classes, organise and pack logistics for the classes. yes that IS my extended job scope.

so thats keeping me real busy. but it cool. and guess what? i'm conducting a class tmr. at a neighbourhood secondary school. called senget (and friends) and min to come help part time. 3 hours, i might just die there, but i'm reading notes and preparing cause they will only give me the slides tmr. yes, just before class. haha.

i think when we treat a challenge as a task we are slowly climbing the mountain, only when we reach the top and look down, then you'll realise how much you have accomplished.

and its my second weekend at home. i really miss having hock around. my personal life seems to have nothing much because everyone is so busy with their partners now. makes me feel double the loneliness.

can anyone understand what i'm doing through? can anyone see that i'm really trying my best not to break down and cry because sometimes it feels so tiring. smile and laugh around people when deep down you feel so empty.

janice. concentrate on every hope i have left. because dec 5th gives me strength.

well, i've been really busy with work lately. though i've only started work like 2 days, i'm feeling so much of it already.

i'm like 1 person marketing department. and my boss says i have LOTS OF POTENTIAL, and i'm like doing everything. its really so different from studying. when you study, all you know is that it leads to grades. this time it causes profit and losses. and i have absolutely no one to discuss work with. so its just me me me and me. and my boss wants me to redo the whole company website. THE WHOLE THING. can you imagine how much money he is saving already. and he thinks i'm some IT whiz kid who knows way too much. in addition, i have to plan curriculum and teach classes for science enrichment courses. i asked for a job that i could use my both degrees and i was given it.

but i guess this is part of working life. challenges all around. and he wants me to learn driving too, so i can drive the company van. also, my colleague is deaf, so i'm intending to do a course on sign language.

i think i'm going to be so busy.

lately has been not too bad. caught 2 movies. Diary of a Sex Addict with marcus and Bruno with Tx, grace and marcus. thanks to marcus who came to work to pick me while i was carrying my bloody lap top. both movies were like R21, which they kept checking my IC. and the guy's reactions to the gay scenes in Bruno were super duper funny. they were like seriously traumatised and grossed out. I actually liked the Diary of a Sex Addict, though there were like way too many sex scenes, i actually liked the story line.

janice. happy anniversary. :)
