Hahaha i wanted to do another customary mundane (probably to you)(unless you are secretly in love with me) post about my day but i started my Internet-using-time by reading other blogs/sites and came across 2 very interesting sites that i want to plug here.
From Despair.com, check this out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TOTALLY, HEAR HEAR!! And i can post this here coz i didnt do any of those Facebook memes HAHAHAHAHA (k actually you also notice i dont do much memes anyway) partly coz i was lazy and partly coz, ah something just feels wrong about it eh?
Admittedly it's a really easy and convenient like 3-in-1-mix-convenient way to sort of get to know someone through that 25 random facts (by "facts", it's presumed that they are necessarily true) but afterwards, the feeling of "knowing" isnt as genuine as the actual awkward-social-situation-Hi-erm-this-event-kinda-sucks-right-but-nevermind-oh-btw-I'm-XXX-so-you-are? acquaintance. You will know 25 facts about him/her, but you wont know know him/her. :S
But then again. Hey i am keeping a blog here, updating almost everyday with things about me, helloooooooooo what am i talking about HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok i dont think i have any readers who DONT personally know me, so i hope i'm not contradicting myself. Ok then again, i dont have anyone on Facebook whom i dont know, so SHIT I JUST CONTRADICTED MYSELF. :(
OK JUST SCROLL DOWN.
And then i saw this really thought-provoking cartoon strip. I was initially skeptical because i was worried that it's those stupid bait-you-to-the-end-then-pop-out-a-pic-from-The-Exorcist kind of stupid gimmick. But it's not. I scrolled through really quickly the first time, but after reading the end, it makes you feel like going back and rereading it again.
What's your interpretation of it?
I thought the last picture meant that, we dont really exist. But then, it could also mean, they just went off to play. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway today marks my 7th day of working admin as a Data Miner at MMI. 4 days in 老板不在乱乱买-Office, and 3 days in Serious-Attitude-180deg-change-Office. The difference was seriously astounding. Haha admittedly a bit disappointing too, because i was seriously enjoying myself there for the first 4 days. But well, i suppose it was a bit suspicious because Life was going too well.
Now retrospecting with my experience at IEEM and my first impressions of people, i've made some pleasant and unpleasant revelations. Sometimes things seem so plain and simple but well, we all know things are not what they seem. Life is so multi-faceted and unpredictable, but undeniably amidst the turbulence (shit what's with the plane/SIA/flying reference?! HAHAHAHA) you do find some regular rhythmic patterns. And i wonder if we just periodically zoom in to marvel at the intricacies, then zoom out to focus on the big picture and be at peace that actually, overall, everything is okay. Breathe. Then when we get bored of the pedestrian, we plunge in again, thinking to do some good and make some difference.
This makes me rethink about my Anti-Smoking Campaign in office, which is at the moment, pardon the pun (then again, maybe not)(just for fun) burning out. :(:(:(
They have reverted back to the usual 2-3 cig breaks a day, and now despite Liyan joining in the display of disapproval, i think they feel less of a need to pay any heed to us because last time when i was alone, it would be quite mean to outright dao me, but now maybe they see that Liyan and i can just seethe and simmer together or something.
HOW DO I DRIVE IT ACROSS THAT SMOKING IS 损人不利己?! Then Alex will Circular-Argument me that deriving pleasure for himself is a 利, and that thousands of people die of other causes and majority of smokers dont die of lung cancer. If i say statistics show..., he will say how do you know the statistics are true? Why not is not a good answer.
HAIIIII. And after seeing them smoke, it's such a huge turn-off i totally dont want to talk to them anymore. Until gradually, ok not that bad, hey that joke is quite funny haha, then TIME FOR CIG BREAK. Then -HATES THEM-.
I wonder how am i going to work well with smoker colleagues in future? I wonder if i can safely say that "our generation" is "better" than their generation because Alex thinks that Liyan and i have been so effectively brainwashed by our 12 years of Singapore's MOE education system about the ills of smoking that we will definitely not be smokers.
Okok i shant dwell on this.
Here's a random picture of our desk now. Now Liyan and i share the desk and i gave her a random Loreal Men Expert brochure with PIERCE BROSNAN on the cover, and now we have this PIERCE BROSNAN altar thingy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa I KNOW IT'S DAMN WEIRD, dont judge us.
The green frog is Liyan's, and the red crab perched on top of the frog is a free gift from Singapore Tourism Board. CAN YOU SEE THE REMARKABLE RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN THE TWO?? IT MUST BE THE EYES. The office currently has boxes of those crabs, and each of the crab come with this tag which gives short and simple instructions on cooking your own Singapore Chili Crab. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA WHAT THE HELL, MAN.
I heard Dalong tell Z, "Ok so this box just put here, and label as 'Crab' lor," but i was thinking "You have a box of crap and you want to bother labelling it's crap and putting it on the shelf?!"
Haha ok i am going to sleep now bye.
