I think I'm finally starting to climb towards the peak of my workload. Note that the climb has only just started; apparently for the past 3 months or so, it's been a flat ground I was slowly making my way around on.

This reality is abit of a shocker to me. Yet at the same time, it's a pretty warm feeling to know that more senior colleagues and my bosses have been on the lookout for newbie me, trying to smoothen my learning curve and not make my mistakes sound like, well, my mistakes.

But I guess all good things must come to an end..just like how I can't be a newbie forever. Every day is starting to feel worse than hectic, more than overwhelming and just plain..stressful, actually.

Was just telling nick online today that work is never-ending; the day your work ends, means you're fired. Unless, of course, you choose to quit la. Haha.

Now I know why my colleagues can work till ridiculous hours late into the night early in the morning, and still be unable to finish their workload. I'm becoming one of them now! Scariness. Gone are the times of even thinking that I can leave before the sun sets and night falls.

Ohwells..can't be helped. I'm just so afraid of falling into the cycle whereby life is just work, eat, sleep, work...and the process continues. Been having to remind myself, and getting more reminders that, life isn't all about work and the last thing I should do is to let work rule my life. But it's really not easy, especially when no less than 5 days of the week are devoted to 10-over-hour work days.

Going out after work really brightens up my mood though! Unless I'm so drained by work that even the thought of having fun with friends weighs less than going home to stone. Eeks.

Anyhows! Today was a not-so-fantastic day at work, but my night out after that more than made up for it! Finally caught bolt and it's a really cute show! Pretty heartwarming too..now I know the reason behind those rave reviews I've been hearing about. =) Next flick I wanna catch is twilight! Yes yes I'm just a sucker for such storylines. Hahaha. Most things gothic never fail to catch my attention!

And I finally own a watch! Ticktockticktock! After years of not wearing one. Haha. The "abstinence" from watches first started in lower sec, when I scratched the face of a limited ed watch I owned..I was so xim tia that I refused to wear a watch again so that I wouldn't have the chance to scratch it. Lol.

All along though, I maintained an interest in watches and admired gorgeous designs all the same..it became more of wanting to own so many different types to match my mood/outfit and simply wanting many choices. Of course, no way I could afford such a lifestyle (seeing as how the watches I adore are usually pretty pricey), hence might as well not buy them at all. Haha.

Okay that's a really long grandmother story I have up there. Lol. To cut the long story short..got myself a watch! More than half of it a gift actually. Thanks for the "watch discount"! =p And now I have this urge to buy many pretty watches which catch my eye, be they sporty or classy or elegant or whatever! Just like someone HAHA. =D

And yayness! Tomorrow's my last work day of the week cos' friday I'm on leave!! Actually I don't have to take leave I guess..but..after a pretty rough 3 days (goshh it's only been a freaking 3 days?!) I seriously need a break. And there's the last minute shopping for stuffs I need for the wedding! Eeks. Recommendations for pretty silver heels that won't kill a bridesmaid, anyone?

Still hoping very very hard that my dayima will be nice to me this month and come only after the wedding..I'm almost willing to tahan the pain if only it won't interefere with the wedding day. =x

Okays this has been a longish post and I need to sleep! Another long day tomorrow before I get a nice break from work..must gear up my engine and tackle all those crap head-on. Haha.

Goodnights world!

And I like the way we are. Simple, rubbishy, fortunate and happy. =)
