So... I am ku-ku?

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Migration

I may really be moving to the East in a few years. OMMFG. Still shocked by the ballot results. Going to be exciting times from now on!

Work Life

Increasingly, they're giving more tasks for me to handle. I'm more than thrilled - finally I can be useful to the team!

Frankly, this isn't the sort of job I ever imagined myself doing. It is pretty desk-bound. It involves quite a bit of documentation and other administrative responsibilities. (I have newfound respect for secretaries and accountants, i.e. my mother.) I do get to do a fair bit of creative writing of course but mostly, the environment is far more structured than anywhere I've ever worked in. (hm.. guess that's only the newsroom)

Surprisingly I like the job so far. I enjoy being able to leave the office at 6pm sharp every day. I enjoy the knowledge that no one is going to make me do last-minute jobs 10 minutes before I am prepared to knock off. I enjoy writing without worrying that my pieces will be filtered down layers of editors, resulting in a write-up that is unrecognisably my own.

I know I am right in leaving journalism behind though I remain open to suitable opportunities in future.

The only thing I miss though is photography. Much as I whined endlessly about APJ assignments, I liked going through the exposed frames, wrecking my brain over what I did right, what I did wrong and how I could make it better for my next assignment.

Alrighty, it's 6pm now. Hope to be able to post up some new pictures soon! Till then!

Thanks to yz for sending me this song... Ashin's lyrics never fails to make girls go glassy-eyed...

可乐戒指 ~ 梁静茹

你把我喝完的可乐
来换当作戒指
轻轻套上了我手指
你问能不能一辈子
那一秒突然爱上了你
傻傻的固执

I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of the airport
And walk you through the maze of the map
That I'm gazing at

Day 3

Third day of work and I am finally given something substantial to do even if it's only a simple assignment. It's been months upon months since I've picked at my brain to do any creative work. Quite happy to reboot that part of my brain again.

Now I am task-free and just waiting to go off for dinner with C. Can't even recall the last time we met up so I'm looking forward to it.

The girls at work have been nice. Given that I am a block of ice when it comes to new environments or people, this place is surprisingly comfortable for me so far.

I am fairly determined to make this job work for me. No pain, no gain. If I want a good life, I'd better work my ass off for it.

:D

These days, whenever I feel nervous/excited/anxious, I'll get this weird sensation. This morning after breakfast, I was lying in bed and suddenly I felt holes being bored into both my palms, tummy and chest. It's a little reminiscent of the day before my driving test but it's happy butterflies this time. I can't wait for Monday to come. Have no idea what to expect of my first REAL job!
