Beneath the obvious.

It's been 2 days. I hate the morning train rides. I never knew that one has to be super-model thin, oh wait, no, actually, you must be liquidified, to be able to squeeze on the tube. YESS, i know that i like to be hugged but i swear, the morning breath of a thousand crammed into one cabin is the shittiest way to start a morning. 10 years of walking to school has made me completely oblivious as to how vicious and ridiculous morning train services can be.

Driving lessons should have come first, then only start work. Put a downpayment on a car too. Alternatively, generate enough $$ for cab fare everyday. Better still, be your own boss and stroll into work any friggin time you please, beating all the silly goverment trappings; ERP and what nots.

Work has been deliciously good. I learn so much everyday & I'm perpetually on Google News. I've only been working for approx 18 hours & I'm hooked! There's just so much news. And the best part about online news is that the headlines tell you everything. So far, i've gotten my first byline, which they will run in next month's print! And I'm currently working on an original story. OMG, I AM CHASING A STORY!!! *squeals. Okay, its nothing glamourous. It's about "strategic hiring" - something completely brand new to me. Plus, the editor made me an author on their blog. My impeccable blogging skills have finally paid off. Hehe

Lunch can get lonely sometimes. Food is expensive around Bugis area, so I shall devise a plan to cut down on expenses... starting with Mentos! I cant afford lime mint mentos from 7-eleven daily on an intern's pay! People at the office are busy bees, rushing their butts off to meet deadlines and clinch exclusives before the end of year hols. Please let another intern come in and keep me company by Jan.

It might have only been two days... but i hope my enthusiam will last forever. I'd really like to pursue this. Maybe i'll finally passionately love something, forever.

To be honest, I love it cause it takes up so much of my time. Whenever there's a breaking news related to our department, even the lowly intern stays overtime (without pay, mind you) to cover it before it becomes outdated. Unlike history, news bulletins have a damn short lifespan. Unlike others, my life has been reduced to shopping.

I can't follow my family off to KL for a shopping/eating/sleeping and car-ride holiday. I'll be working. They'll be gone for 3 nights.

My heart breaks. I'll be home alone. Which counts for nothing when you're single and no party animal, by the way.

I'm tired, but satisfied with work today :) I can't leave the link to the magazine websites here because I don't want anybody from the office tracking my blog down...

What's this man.

Plenty happened in such a compact amount of time & i really just don't know where to begin. It's all so surreal and just, well, i'm still in the process of digesting it all. I'd probably keel over & dehydrate to death in the midst of trying to record it all down. I'm not even talking about the worldly woes, no, just those in my own personal world. I'm scared. I guess?

I'm hi-lighting some things, for my own future reference and if you happen to read then yay, i've just shared with you too :) Don't worry, just the light, fluffy stuff which i will forget in time... since unhappiness seems to be more impressionistic anyway. Happiness just simply pales in comparison. Maybe its just me?

1) Shit can weigh up to 600g, you know?! I'm looking at the process of shitting in wonderment & awe. Does it mean that we carry the waste around all day until it finally decides to discharge itself from the respective designated outlets (ass/anus/pee-hole etc)?

2) I am addicted to my new digital weighing machine & i wish it shows my weight up to 3 dec places. I weigh myself everytime after i drink water & after i leave the toilet and i think about weighing myself when i'm out too. Gawd. I am veh-rhee seeeek in ze 'ead.

3) My journalism course was super duperly fantabulous... except that i didn't meet any guys- because THERE WERE NONE. So much for meeting some guy who shares my interest. I was so looking forward to journalistic sex (read: after holy matrimony, with lots of karma sutra copies... for a feature article on it afterwards)!!!! Nevertheless, the ladies i met are wonderful! Meeting new people, regardless of age, language, religion and most importantly... REGARDLESS OF GENDER can be such a delightful experience, if you just open up and take them all in- just try not to be too judgemental, too fast, too soon. I definitely learnt not to be, this time around. I'm very proud of my first act of perceived "maturity" as a 19-year-old. Heh.

4) I love my sisters so much & i hope nothing will harm them, ever. Only i am allowed to inflict any sort of pain on them, sigh. (elaboration denied)

5) I like being alone but i can't stand it if my hp gets lonely. How now brown cow.... wahlao!

I'm dead beat. Haven't been sleeping at all. No wonder i'm getting heavier man. The best way to lose weight is to sleep everytime ur hungry. Really...truly, madly, deeply. Go ponder, it really makes sense.
