I don’t know when it started, but I’ve started to grow really tired with work. It makes me tired just thinking about it. There are too many things about my job that I resent and many times I just want to drop everything and go.
There are a few reasons why I’m still here. One of it is that…I have great colleagues. We are more than that. We’re kind of like…family? I think most of them know me better than my friends. They have seen me angry, sad, annoyed, crazy and swearing.
They know my alter ego, Crazy Cherry :)
Yeh, work sucks. Alot. So thank God I have great allies. Got lucky there I guess.

Bored
I used to be able to say: I’m bored. Talk to me.
And we’ll talk. And talk. And talk.

Korean dramas are poison!! Stan told me this series was good and so I started watching it. He’s right. It’s good. But I’m stuck at episode 13 because I know episode 14 will be sad and I don’t feel like being sad right now :(

Singaporeans have no sense of urgency. It’s worrying.
I was lunching with my boss and a colleague at the Hans restaurant at Raffles Place some months back when suddenly the fire alarm went off. I looked around to see that everyone was still in their seat, munching on their lunches happily. Even the staff seem unnerved. So, I thought they were used to it and perhaps it was just another trial run which probably happens alot.
When it went off for the second time, I was alittle nervous. Then, a voice came throught the PA system. It goes something like: There has been a situation. Please evacuate the building immediately in the next 10 minutes.
I stood up and prepared to leave when my boss asked: What are you doing?
Evacuating, of course! Didn’t you hear the announcement??
Sit down, Cherry. It’s nothing. My boss said. Maybe everyone else thought the same thing he did. Because not one person moved an inch. You’ll think somebody just sung a song through the PA system instead of an emergency announcement.
Then he joked: 你怕死啊? Of course 我怕死! I replied.
When the announcement came through a second time, I insisted we go. And even as we left, everyone else was still there dining away happily. If there was a real fire, alot of people would be dead.

Me and PY met up for some CNY shopping and while I’m not a fan of the music, it does put you in the mood. Honestly, I very much prefer the Chinese New Year season compared to the Christmas rush. It’s crazy noisy and sometimes annoying, but it’s alot more warm and close to heart.
PY lugged ALOT home yesterday! PY told me that she’s adapted a habit: when she sees something she likes, she won’t hesitate to walk around any further looking for the same thing, because when you return it might be gone. I like that. No procrastinating. We should adapt that kind of mindset in life. Stop waiting.
Unfortunately, I think I’m down with Shopper’s Fatigue because I only managed to get a pair of silver shoes. Which is a good thing too, since the 3 big bag of clothes sitting outside my wardrobe is a reminder of how much I spent over Christmas.
Shopping aside, we visted Se7en at Iluma. Initally we thought it was a club, but turns out it was a sports cafe and they have a huge ass screen showing a Chelsea-Preston match. Since we were tired from shopping and needed a break, we got some beer and watched the match and chitchatted for abit. The entire place was vacant at 9pm! I kept telling PY it looks like we booked the entire cafe. It was kind of cool.
After, we headed back for more shopping and then supper at Clementi.
PY must be my best shopping buddy, despite the fact that we have totally different taste in clothes and shoes. I guess it helps that we pretty much know what each other have in our wardrobes and we know each other’s shopping habits pretty well so there is entirely no pressure on guessing what the other person wants, or where she wants to go or if she likes/hates shopping here/there. PY doesn’t mince her words when letting me know what she thinks of something I’ve picked, and vice versa. Better be honest than letting each other buy something completely unsuitable. Afterall, its not entirely true that we only dress for ourselves.
So I got home pretty late, my internet was cranky so I just thought to watch some tv until I got tired. This Chinese movie was showing: Gimme Kudos, 求求你表揚我.
I wasn’t expecting much since I was merely passing time, but it turned out to be very good! The setting was simple, so was the storyline, so were the characters, but the message behind it was deep and meaningful.
Many times when we blindly fight for something, something that we thought we want so badly, something that we thought was so important, we tend to neglect the obvious. We forget that it’s sometimes not just about us. We don’t realise how selfish we are. We don’t realise that there’s always more than one side to a story. We forget that we sometimes need to take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture.
There’s also another message in this movie, althought very subtle. “Face.” We chinese call it “面子”. Pride. Was a kudos so important, even if it means ruining the life of someone else?
I am a sucker for movies that try to tell you something. It’s always easier to learn something from someone else’s experience.

Together
I rushed home after work today to catch the last episode of 当我们同在一起.
I love this show.
I love how it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love how it makes me feel all nostalgic. And I love how it makes me think of the good things so long ago. I love how it’s about simple people with big dreams. I love how its about friends, family, love, ambitions, wealth, health, memories, all rolled into one. I love the theme song. I love the ending.
This is totally random, but I love how this show makes me think of my Grandma, and how her life probably was.
