[my phone won't keep quiet]it's now about 730pm and my office has already called me twice. it seems they can't get enough of me, because my phone's always ringing. even when i was on MC the other day, i got a call almost every hour.. which is why i decided to just go back to the office the next day even though i had another day of MC that i could have used. it's really just no use if i can't get any rest anyway, and i have to answer the phone every hour.
what topped the cake was my colleague calling me on my mobile - while i was still in the office!
*shakes head* i wonder if my phone will ever be quiet..

[anti old folk]*warning, lots of expletives*
i don't like old people. actually that's wrong. i just don't like one.
my fucking idiot of a grandmother.
i just found the bathroom flooded with an inch of water, the walls are wet, all the towels are soaked, the ceiling and light fixtures are wet. because she wanted to take a shower earlier this afternoon, but the water mains had been shut off for maintenance. now usually the tap only requires about two turns for enough water to shower. but she had turned them all the way, and that's like 5 - 6 turns. so obviously if the water's not coming out by then, it's not coming out at all.
and most socially responsible people turn the taps OFF when they realise there's no water coming.
why? SO YOU DON'T FLOOD THE FUCKING BATHROOM!
and i can't believe the water was so loud, but she slept through the whole thing. not a stir at all.
i mean, really. it's 6pm. why are you taking a nap at 6pm?!
and what if i hadn't been at home?
i'm home on MC today, because of a bad stomach again. and if i hadn't been home, the bathroom might have been even more fucking flooded.
what's wrong with doing little things to make sure the house runs smoothly?
my mom says this isn't even the first time it's happened. the last time she tried to turn the taps so hard it got jammed. so my mom had to stand there in the water trying to unjam it to turn it off.
and what does my grandmother say 'i don't know what the problem is. it's dripping.'
oh gee, you fucking think so? the ceiling's wet that's why!
'it's not me, i took my shower this morning' (mind you the water's been off since 10am, and she never showers in the morning.)
WHY can't she just think of others before herself?
WHY can't she admit when she's done something wrong? (most common phrase heard from her - 'i never. not i do one.' and that's usually before we can even ask anything.)
WHY can't her daughter with the four extra rooms take her instead? so my sister and i can finally have our rooms back!
WHY can't i have one of those nice grandmas instead?
bah. and people wonder why i don't like her!

[my day]i woke up this morning feeling slightly grumpy because i felt so tired.. and i knew that i couldn't sleep in at all because i had a phone interview to do at 920am in the morning in the office. so i rushed around trying to get ready and then realised that i had a sandwich in my bag for breakfast.. cutie pie boy had left it there when i had gone to get washed up and ready for work..
this time it was definitely a more edible size, compared to mother-of-all foccacia sandwich i had a few weeks back.. thank you babe :)
and i even managed to get to the gym today, and i jogged. I JOGGED! i haven't jogged in YEARS, and it feels pretty good!
i think it's something i might keep doing.. esp in my bid to get fight!
*heeyah!*

[the island of the gods]i can see why people fall in love with bali, it's an absolutely beautiful place with clear blue skies and perfect beaches. although i'm not the sort that likes people to be touting their stuff when i'm trying to get a tan. really, i don't need braided hair, i don't want a massage or a manicure or a pedicure or a boat or anything else. i just want to relax!
so aside from people always trying to sell me things, i really loved bali. it was a great chance for me to get to know the CLEO girls a little better too, since the only times we usually talk are just when we're passing each other in the office. and i have to admit, we really had a lot of fun! every night we'd plan our schedule for the next day which pretty much just consisted of shopping, eating and swimming.
the wedding was beautiful too! it was set on a cliffside at sunset, and i wanted to just keep crying everytime i saw the bride. i'm such a weeper. i can't help but cry at weddings because they're so beautiful! and charmaine looked absolutely radiant. i think she chose the perfect place to get married and i'm glad she asked me to be a part of it.
ahh, if only i was back in bali again.

[the waiting game]i went to see a screening of the terminal today, and i thought it was quite a cute movie! there were bits that were slightly slow, but there were also lots of rather funny moments.
and it's true what they say in the movie, 'you're always waiting for something.'
and that got me thinking.. i AM waiting.
i'm always waiting!
if it's not for people to show up for their appointments, i'm waiting for things to happen, for decisions to be made, for action to be taken.
why am i wasting so much of my life just waiting? and what makes it worse is when i'm waiting for other people.
when i first started working, i told myself that no matter what, i'd stay in the job for two years. so i waited for the time to come. and it came, and it went. and i'm still there. except now i'm not sure what i'm waiting for. if there's a defintely goal in sight, then it makes the waiting easier. but when you're just sitting around and waiting, not quite sure what for, that makes it feel so long and tiring.
what am i waiting for?
i feel like i'm stuck in a place where nothing's changing. where everything's the same as it has been, and i don't want to wait around if everything's going to be the same.
i want to move on and move forward with life because there's no point if i stagnate.
but how long do you wait for these changes to happen?
