i wanna be a boho baby
it has been hectic. lots to do at work, many events during the weekends, endless proposals to finish. totally swamped!
for today i take a breather finally, having finally completed a proposal due today. this is a tough job, with neverending tasks and absolutely irregular hours - you never know when the boss(es) will spring up with a job for you, like at 530pm...nothing is certain! and that's the part i hate. i have to do numbers, which i absolutely abhor! i definitely do not mind writing up my proposals, sometimes it's even like doing your term paper (which i find totally nostalgic, brings back my uni memories and weirdly, an adrenalin rush as well...:) but not the costing part, calculators and numbers are so NOT me. i shall not rant on work per se anymore.
---> in sam's words: i am a survivor and it shall stay that way! please clap for my wee bit of optimism.
taking the mrt train during peak mornings have got me thinking deep. the faces i see, each and every one, so spaced out. it is really alienation personified. why do we live? what do we work for? there seems to be no proper purpose, unless you deem religion as your purpose.
i don't want to work to live. i want to LIVE LIFE, by seeing the world, by experiencing the world wholly. i want to travel, have no reservations, no burdens, to lead a totally carefree lifestyle. a utopic bohemian lifestyle. i never believed in dreams because i hate giving myself false hope, but i guess i have one now - to be a true-blue bohemian! i'll work to earn my feed as i travel, i don't need the material luxuries, as long as i can do whatever i want whenever i like...i can go on forever on this...maybe i shall, when my thoughts are more coherent and substantial...
on another note: an advanced Merry New Year to all! hope 2009 will be a better year for everyone, in every sense or in any sense or in whatever sense you want. :)

to all concerned:
yes, ta-da, i am still alive! unfortunately.
i am up to my neck, with plenty of proposals to finish, with VERY tight deadlines, thanks to my dumb company and bosses. i have to stay late almost EVERY day and even work during events on weekends. i seriously hate this lifestyle - i have a boyfriend whom i want to hang out with, i have parents whom i want to spend time with, i have a life. i am seriously stranded around here...i don't if i should resign without securing a job first, given the bleak financial climate these days. plus, i've have just shifted house and have a whole load of debts to start paying. i just feel that i should just play my part as well with footing part of the bill, at least, work for my own allowance so my parents don't have to upkeep me. i feel like i have a huge burden on my shoulders, which suck. i'm only so young, i feel the responsibility of a 32-year-old, and my type A personality is definitely not helping.
i am really helpless. stay in this crap company which works me to my BONES, squeeze me dry of my every living hour...i am truly troubled.
i hope somebody up there has plans for me, i will try my best to press on with the littlest bit of maturity i should develop as an adult. it is, not easy growing up.
