Sad...

It's payday today. But I don't feel any happier.

When I sit down and think about my life, I thought it was ok. Except for my job. I'm not getting any job satisfaction from my current employer. Everyday I went home feeling exhausted and worn out, like I had been working non-stop with no rest. Truth is, sometimes it does get to this situation. But somehow, I feel that all my hard work (if any) is not being reciprocated. I feel like I'm slogging my life away, and with no rewards. Thus, I can only reward myself with trips and some retail therapy.

I think it's really time to start considering a change of job and/or direction.

It's Pay Day!

Another 28 hours to pay day! Woo hoo!

I'm so pathetic...

Time zoooms....

I can't believe that how time had flew by when I am with this company.

It's almost the end of May. The best thing is, pay day is still 5 days away and I'm already broke, with only 8 bucks in my bank, and to make things worse --- it's the Great Singapore Sales period! Reminds me when I was younger. Always broke when the GSS is near. A bit sad.. because I don't really want to use my credit card. And I have no cash.

What in the world is going on?

遗憾

不想生命中有太多的遗憾。

因为,生命就只有仅仅的那么一回。听起来虽然是有点自私,但我不想让青春流白。想趁自己还有勇气与力气的当儿,好好的看着这个世界,好好的呼吸着每一棵树所释放出的氧气。我只想好好的活出自我而已啊。

人生就是短暂,所以才要活得精彩,活得有意义。

毕竟,活着是不应该充满着遗憾的。

I.T. Bags

I came across a series of crocodile skin bags inside a magazine while waiting for my dentist yesterday. Most of them cost a few thousands. I saw a few that cost more than 30 grand. So come on and ask me if I will buy a 30 grand croco skin bag if I have the money. Come on, ask me. Ok, would I buy a 30 grand croco skin bag?

30 grand, you say?! Are you out of your puny mind? 30 grand for a piece of lousy bag?!

But it's no ordinary bag, it's a Chanel!

Chanel or not, croco skin or not, 30k is just insane! Have you any idea how many people are starving in this world? And here you are, trying to ask me if I will buy a 30k worthless bag? If you have a lot of money and nowhere to spend, why not donate them to charity, instead of buying a 30k bag?! I cannot believe it. 30k for a bag. A bag, for goodness' sakes!

I hate rich people.

Pirates!

Just watched "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End". Not very good in terms of execution of the story and plot. But nevertheless, entertaining.

I really like the whole pirate thingy. It is so intriguing and rings adventure at the sound of it. Fantasy. Yeah, that's what I'm suckered for. Phrases like "at world's end", "the edge of the world" really psyche me up. And all the crew onboard the Flying Dutchman, cool.

I really like to think that there IS really a hidden treasure in this world, or other worlds, for that matter, which calls for all the pirates in the world to seek for it. Corny, but I like it.

Maybe there really exists such people, such places, such times. Maybe. But I will keep it close to my heart.

Eki Ben




I really missed the bento from Japan's train station. It really completes your trip to Japan.
Maybe it's the packaging, maybe it's the ume or the rice ball or some other things that attracts me. I remembered eating one bento where I absolutely had no idea what all the ingredients were.

A typical bento costs around the range of 700 to 1200 yen. But it is cheaper to get it from the kiosks at the station, instead of inside the train.

Bentos served inside the trains is usually more than 1000 yen, at least for me, so far. Actually, come to think of it, it is not cheap to eat bentos. You can have a sumptuous lunch set at only 1000 yen, which is more worth it than a bento.

But then again, what is a Japan trip without trains and bentos? Like they've said: Do what the Japanese do in Japan!
