There was a book fair/sale at the Expo a few days ago and Y got me two Merlin novels just because while he was there like a bookworm drawn to book sales. Envy me, for my boyfriend is both nerdy and awesome XD
(Ooh, Colin and Bradley~ *Coos at book covers*)

Anyway. I started out typing this entry with a few things in mind that I wanted to say, but now I've forgotten what I was going to update about. Fail.

It was supposed to go something like: I kept nodding off at work because after years of staying up for uni stuff, I can't seem to keep to my 10p.m. bedtime. Waking up at 6a.m. for five days a week has made work hours very difficult to get through. And I've been packing my own lunch to work since the third day of work because eating outside meant having to endure the heat and the expensive CBD menu. Although I feel so wrung out tonight that I'm not really up to cooking something for tomorrow. I guess I'll just buy a sandwich from 7-11 tomorrow morning on my way to the bus stop. Then maybe I'll mention something about the crazy heat these few days. I didn't even have to switch on the heater for the shower; the water was too warm on the lowest setting. And that my hair's getting long enough to be at that length that its mere presence is irritating, and it sticks to the back of my neck and fizzes when it gets too warm or too humid even though I have straight hair (so totally not true that only curly and/or wavy hair fizzes). Can the rainy/monsoon season be here now? UGH.

Okay. I think my mind just went *kapoot* because it's functioning on a lack of energy while the weather is overheating it. Stupid equatorial weather.

This is nice.

AAAAHHHH!!! Today was my first day as a proper individual of the workforce!

Nothing much happened, actually. The "show you guys around the around and to the various important people" sort-of orientation was just a bit overwhelming because I can't quite remember all the names, much less match them to the faces I saw. And lots of people were missing from the office so there were a handful of names I had no faces to match to. The rest of the day we (me and two other new employees/colleagues) had "training", which is just more introduction to the company, company structure, work processes and yada yada. Then there was a short introduction to the inhouse (?) system. So much listening and reading and aslkdjfagldka so difficult to stay awake! And by the time I sat down at the bus stop to wait for my ride home, I was developing a mild headache. It's almost two hours after dinner now and I can still feel the slight pain pinching at my temples. Ugh...

But that's only the very insignificant negative parts of today. Let me count the good things, because that's the only important thing and the only things we should remember, right?

Lemme count... )

It feels a little surreal and nostalgic holding physical copies of academic journals now that I never had to search for them nor read them anymore because my essay-writing days are over. Strangely, now that I no longer have to read academic journals just to write 2500-worded essays, I kinda want to read them for the sake of reading and to know whatever new argument or theory someone has in their field of academia. Because I'm weird and geeky and nerdy this way.

Now to continue reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets until it's time to sleep.

1. I have a job.
2. I'm having a good hair day.
3. Had a lunch date with Jay again :D
4. Had Yeo's lemon barley drink (yum lemon barley!).
5. Also, have I mentioned, I HAVE A JOB STARTING THIS COMING MONDAY XD

Well, there's this rule/clause thing about being their employee and blogging, so I guess I can't really say where I'm working, but if you're on my Facebook or Twitter, you'd have known by now, anyway. For those who still don't, as specific as I can get without getting into trouble, it's a publishing company, and I'm doing an assistant/admin sort of position.

What does this mean?

Regular pay! Nine hours a day, five days a week away from the parents! More freedom (I hope)! I can watch shows and read my books and my mother will have no reason to complain and nag because HELL YEAH I'M NO LONGER UNEMPLOYED!

Goodness. Now I owe lots of people dinners. But. Whatever!!! Goodbye, unemployment! *Dances happy flaily dance*

'Graffiti', xkcd

"This graffiti is
fleeting human contact
both of us lost,
but for a moment
we're lost together.
I wonder who you are."
