Welcome to andra's diary..

last week was quite ok.. except dat i fell sick on thurs, churning stomach once i drank choc milk... but it allowed me to take an mc! n after a while i was ok, so afternoon i went nus wif cm for lunch n attended a lecture wif him n my sis.. einstein weird phy or smthg... it's like my contemporary physics... as disgusting >_<
n i got a new laptop at work this week! so i was finally able to log in MSN... no more the lousy default windows messenger... hehe..

this week i will be attending a 3 day course at MOE..! yeay finally can get out of the sch.. see the blue skies and clouds.. for a while b4 i get closed inside the sesminar rooms.. zzz.. anyway, anything is better den in the office =S

feeling quite happy, even tho i still haf quite a lot of work piled on the table.. my list juz doesn't seem to end. n it doesn't help dat the parents keep barking on the fact dat i am paid by taxpayers so they can scold me and order me to do things for them.. i muz remember there are nice parents in the world!!!!

but... recently got a case of child abuse in our sch.. poor girl was beaten by stepfather.. and mother oso like a bit crazy, veri short tempered, doesn't protect her.. but wad kind of mother is she if she doesnt even protect her own child? and now they are transferring her to another sch in jurong so that she can stay wif her relative.. transferring is such a bad change for a child.. she must be totally confused now.. suddenly went hospital den suddenly stay in another home n suddenly got to go to new sch. poor gal!! really feel pain for her...

and den.. got another 2 colleagues leaving our place... so sad.. plus a bit of green envy =p i oso dun mind leaving the place.. BUT! i cannot leave just lidat..! the day will come.. i muz remain calm... >_<

here's a picture from the Blue Mtns.. to remind me of the nice place i had just been to...

Juz now went to Chinatown.. super packed with people and sweets n biscuits n crackers!!!! no place to squeeze thru even.. but got CNY mood =) even tho i was veri tired, seeing the stuff makes me feel festive.. yay CNY is here~ Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone~

another day at work..

here i am.. another day at work.. recently have been thinking.. we only live each day once, if we didn't live it happily, wouldn't it go to waste? we can nv go back in time to turn it around, to make different decisions we regretted not making, to do things differently and so on.

but most of us are stuck in this so-called Rat race, where each day u have to go out and work your life out in order to exchange for things such as money, house, status, or simply to live comfortably in this high costs of living era (tho compared to places such as Britain and USA, we are not that high already..). Why can't we just do what we want every day? If I were to die tomorrow, am I going to look back and say "I'm so glad i work like shit every single day of my life and earn a salary of $xxxx every month."?

If you were to die tomorrow, are you going to look back and feel glad about what u are doing now?

Lots of times we say, we are working hard now for a better future. But who is to say what the future holds? We just want some security about the future, that is the reason for our actions. Insecurities. They banked on our insecurities and used it to drive their own goals.

I think if you are living out your goals, if the work u are doing gives you satisfaction or if you are simply happy doing it, then you can safely look back n say u have no regrets. And so this is what I shall be working towards instead. I've been wrong since I put out my first step into the working society, but it's not too late, i hope!
