Simple Thoughts.... Complex Thinking..... In Search For An Answer
~* Sunday, January 15, 2006 *~
All this talk abt work is allowing me to see work from another point of view... my friends in the same line are all getting really shitty jobs, overwork with unclaimable TOIL... with the getting more out of life... no value-add from the job we are doing... How we are so underpaid... doing things that gives us no credit... slogging our lifes away... and for wat?
I begin to question wat do i really want out of life... like the five balls we're all juggling... work, family, health, friends and spirit... Wat do i really, truthfully, wholeheartedly want? Why do i have to go and meet other's expectation when i can't even fulfill mine... It's a really tough qn...
Like now.. we are paid miserly... working away part of our lifes... with no time to do wat we like.. and this is only our first year.. every year it will get worst.. while the rest of our friends get better pay, work better hours, also progressing just as well... having a social life... have time to do wat they like.. even getting overtime pay, benefits, traveling, entertainment allowances.. wat more...
Yet i do find some factors that are worth staying.. like i haven't gotten any bad jobs, my managers, TICs all really nice.. the people i work with are great.. some of my best pals are in the same company... i get to try out other sections, other higher level type of stuff.. i get to travel around in comfort on cabs.. most of the time... I work in the city... I got a good counselling mgr... i get to use the corporate gym membership...
Life is all about choices and now it's time to sit down once more to think abt it... To stay or to go... but work aside.. some updates on my life...
Today just met up with jiayi and faith... it's a enlightening session i must say.. finally abt to talk to pple who understand out lingo.. the meaning of sections, review points/coaching notes... going overseas... mgrs... and all sorts... they brought me to this new place at Taka.. Toast.. they serve a great blend of mocha coffee ice-blended, toast of cos and a good selection of cakes... it jiayi's birthday so we bought her a slice of black forest cake and 2 CDs from Corinne May.. i'm going to watch her concert.. if anyone going.. we can go together!!
In the evening went to Kelvin's 21st birthday, my cousin.. it's at Chinese swimming club bowling alley.. quite a nice venue and idea to have a birthday there.. where can eat and bowl.. so fun to bowl with all my cousins.. uncle and auntie... i went went out with wei wei and her new bf for tea after that! haha...

My dear, just thought that you would like to know. Toast is not new. Toast by Marmalade Group has been there for eons. It's just in an obscured corner that's all. Been wanting to go there for a long long time... -Benedict-
