Pandora's Box
I am reading the book Like The Flowing River by Paulo Coelho, and it is one of the most inspiring and thought-provoking books I have ever come across.
Will be posting exerpts from it from time to time.
Today's exerpt is for people who like me tonight, was subjected to ridicule and oppression just for exercising independent thought and for refusing to conform to expectations.
No one with such a bigoted view of the world has the right to lecture me about something he knows shit about and then arrogantly ask "have you thought about that".
How about you step down from your freaking high horse and if you're lucky you will discover that we are living in the year 2009.

Pandora takes with her a box which she has been forbidden to open. However, just as with Eve in Christian mythology, her curiosity gets the better of her. She lifts the lid to see what is inside and, at that moment, all the evils of the world fly out and scatter about the earth. Only one thing remains inside: hope.
So, despite the fact that everything contradicts this, despite my sadness and my feelings of impotence, despite being almost convinced at this moment that nothing will ever get better, I cannot lose the one thing that keeps me alive: hope - that word treated with such irony by pseudo-intellectuals, who consider it a synonym of 'deceit'. That word, so manipulated by governments, who make promises they know they will not keep, and thus inflict even more wounds on people's hearts. That word that so often rises with us in the morning, gets sorely wounded as the day progresses, dies at nightfall, and is reborn with the new day.
Yes, there is a saying that states that 'You cannot argue with force'; but there is another saying: 'Where there's life, there's hope.'
-Pandora's Box, Paulo Coelho

1. Very interesting and entertaining class on Legal Management this morning.
2. Good lunch with him (the company, not the food)
3. Grooming went relatively well today.
4. Like The Flowing River by Paulo Coelho.
5. Making progress with fixing of horrifically clashing event dates.
6. 5 more working days!
7. Not hungry at this hour for once.

Little Miss Lonely
Just took a shower much earlier than usual so that I can smell nicer sooner.
Only thing that I looked forward to today besides getting off work.
Life has been... lonely ever since I left school.
Sigh.
Welcome to Loserville, population one.
Edit: I am such a moody bitch it is no wonder things have come to this. Just ship me off to Indonesia to slog on padi fields and be done with it. Whoever wants Nougat can have him.

I first read about this from her quite a long time ago, and I just did a search and found this!
Since my life hasn't been much to shout about lately (understatement of the year, yo), I have finally decided that now is the time to embark on this mini project. You never know, this could be the thing that saves me-.-
1. I don't have to pay rent/electricity/water/phone bills... yet.
2. I don't have to watch my diet. I can eat anything I want and not gain weight. Sometimes even losing weight after gorging on food like there's no tomorrow-.- Ironically, I am the person with a non-existent sweet tooth.
3. My new shampoo and body liquid soap have scents so awesome I look forward to showers everyday now. Nice scents bring out the happy in me:)
4. I have more or less recovered from my sorethroat and flu. Still have a little bit of cough now though. Amazingly it didn't take that long even without medication or sufficient sleep. Maybe the EM worked afterall!
5. 3 hour nap after work today -glee-
6. My ears are FINALLY well on the road to recovery hallelujahthankyouJesus!

Santa Can You Hear Me?
Slightly more than a month to go before Christmas is here again.
Already the shopping malls are decked out in tacky decorations and have started blaring festive tunes.
Sometimes I think it is an atrocious waste of money to do all these because honestly, how many people here in Singapore celebrate Christmas much less know the true meaning behind it?
I, for one, couldn’t care less about it right now. I do believe in Jesus Christ but I doubt I could fully embrace the religious life. It has been a while since I even prayed properly.
I always wonder, is it not enough to be a good person?
Not saying that I am a good person per se.
Seeing the current sorry state my life is in, I am all set to be the Grinch who steals Christmas this year.
****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ******
8 more work days till I am freed from the evil clutches of my current job. 7 if next Friday is a public holiday.
Please note that I use the word "job" loosely.
99% of the time, I have absolutely nothing work-related to do and spend most of the day
1. reading daily news online/in newspapers
2. feeling my blood pressure shoot up from reading absurd things on STOMP (articles and comments alike)
3. pulling at my hair
4. using toothpicks to help my eyelids stay up
5. muffling my screams of frustration whenever someone's phone rings (which is practically the whole day) or whenever there is unneccessary noise like careless banging against the glass doors or dropping of things on table tops
6. escaping to the toilet to catch 40 winks (need to preserve my sanity which is at stake here)
7. fb/twitter/blog stalking
8. sending out my CV and cover letters
9. worrying and/or staring into space (ie: black hole)
10. checking my email accounts/the time
All these take a grand total of... 15 minutes.
Repeat throughout the day.
****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ******
Green tea is my happy drug. Unfortunately, it is now out of stock in this house -cue funeral march-
(Speaking of funerals, the person who selected me for the summer programme'07 at UNSW and who commented during the interview that I am a "glutton for punishment" passed away yesterday. If not for him I wouldn't have had one of the best experiences of my life. It is probably too late to tell you this, but thank you.)
(Isn't it always like this, we only appreciate things/people after they are gone. Why do we never learn?)

My Girlfriend is an Agent
HILARIOUS MOVIE!! Practically laughed throughout. The guy lead Jae-Joon is a total idiot. But he can be pretty sweet. Utterly devoted to Soo-Ji(?), if you can forget that he abandoned her for 3 years-.- And also if you can forget that he enthusiastically buried his head into the Russian girl's (Natasha) well-endowed chest when he had the chance to-.-
I highly recommend this movie if you need a mood lifter! Even if it's just for a couple of hours, better than nothing, right?
Watching this movie was possibly the highlight of my gloomy week.
