You never see the hard days in a photo album...but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next.

A very warm welcome to my thoughts and opinions. These lyrics from Megadeth's Peace Sells resonate with me. What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"? I got nothing better to do And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"? Why do you think I'm broke? Huh? What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"? I didn't know you had any feelings. What do you mean, "I ain't kind"? I'm just not your kind.

I have a penchant for sweet delights be it chocolate lava cakes or eye candy in my favorite tv show. I adore being a couch potato and my recent addiction is NCIS and The Big Bang Theory.

Ok I have a number of things to say.

First things first.
My April issue is out! Finally. After all that toiling and sweat.

I had to cover these events the links lead to the articles I wrote while being editor and managing everything else! : -

TEC- part of PMO, so I got to go to Crowne Hotel (the 24 hr swenson's one)

SPF - got to be a VIP at the Police force event, this was a FRIGGIN awesome experience.
Coz I got to usurp my boss (not the director la the smaller boss) his expression was priceless!

I'm very proud of all my hard work even though the director refused to acknowledge me in the issue itself, everyone else knows that well its all my work. I learnt alot in that job. I admit I miss the comfort, the ppl, the ease of doing that job coz I knew it as well as the back of my hand but I have to bid adieu to it.

2. I know a number of my friends will soon be heading out into the working world. Granted I myself am still new to this experience. I understand that its kinda scary, hell I still wanna go back to my past n bury myself like an ostrich into being a student. And I know I probably dun make this easier by sharing my experiences, but guys dun worry. I'm sure u will find sth that suits u to a T, you juz gotta be patient and give it time. All good things will come in good time, alritey?

I haven't had the best experiences in the working world, namely coz I'm a bloody perfectionist. Nothing is ever good enough. It can always be better and I do NOT handle stress from the working world well, at all. Its a whole new ball game. With new rules & so forth. I thought I knew but I'm learning more and more that I really don't know. I have erase everything that I thought I knew and re-learn.

Now I'm learning new stuff such as a male colleague of mine had morning sickness while his wife was pregnant, another male colleague forgot to wear long sleeves while his wife was in labour n he kena blue black (which i find hilarious, not the kinda thing I'm used to talkin abt with my friends but I haven't seen/ talked to my own friends in ages so I'm trying to get used to hanging out with ppl in their late 30s/40s)

What I'm trying to say is to each his own, and dun think that you'll have a tough time adjusting to the working world. Some adjust really fast n easily. So u go girls/guys!

3. I think I'm getting too engrossed with the elections
A friend of mine called me yesterday. I was asleep so I woke up to pick up the phone.
The ALLEGED conversation went like this

me: He's standing for elections
friend: huh
me: He's standing for elections man
friend: eh ...
me: He's standing for elections
friend: *awaits punchline of some sort*
me: *on repetition mode* He's standing for elections
friend: ok mel u back to sleep k, i think u dunno what ur talkin about
me: I know k! He's standing for elections
..........................

I SWEAR I DUN RECALL THIS CONVO at all!
SO moral of the story, dun bloody talk to me when I'm sleepy & dun watch the news b4 u sleep.
Its like I'm drunk or sth.
How embarrassing.
But its still really funny..hee hee...

& lastly I WANNA TALK TO MY FRIEND IN CANADA! woman where the hell are u???
dammit contact me!
