boxers unite uggh..

am sooo dreading going back to work after the 5 day break i've had..
its not like i have to deal with an overflowing inbox or
emails being bounced back cause my mailbox is full...
neither is it the early mornings cos im up at that time anyways.
mayb it's my too ah-lian/aunty colleagues
or the way time crawls for those 10 hrs..
or the fact that the internet doesn't lemme access anything.
or the fact that i want to be somewhere else.

in the last week, i've seen all my beloved aunties
& uncles & cousins more often than in the last 3 yrs put together...
which is great cause it totally lifts my mom's spirits & makes her smile..
even aunties from denmark and florida will finally be meeting each other
after 10yrs??
oh no doubt, the noise levels will rise significantly.
but i miss those times when i was 9 (or smthing) &
i saw our relatives every weekend.
this weekend i wondered why as we grew
up we saw less & less of each other.

it felt weird that i was taking down my cousin's mobile numbers
and arranging family meetings with them rather than the adults.
felt weird that i was telling my cousins to bring their parents along..  ¶ 9:38 AM 0 Comments

  jet lag i feel like im jet lagged again.

IF only i can convince my dad to pay $2.50 everyday =/
(2.50 = +30mins of sleeep!!!!)
i mean, if i leave home at 7:45 jus to beat the friggin ERP, im in the office by 8:05.
earlier than everybody else not counting cleaning aunty.

with fairly strict parents.
-hmm-

  with a vengence my "serious-work-clothes" stocktake.
these i acquired (grudgingly) in past month:

2 pairs of shoes.
2 jackets.
3 skirts.
4 pairs of pants.
7 shirts.


i didnt think i'd have to go shopping & do the "constantly remind self:
'look for work clothes! stop getting distracted!!'" thing yet.
only internship wad.
alas, it's happened.
am still always on the look out for nice jackets & shoes. oh but i do need a new bag *wink wink* possibly the most delightful of all things to acquire 'for internship'.

& jackets are so expensiveee!!! plus half of them look the same.
no one really notices the buttons or pockets or stitching anyways.
not unless it's really special la.
but i have learnt.
(i quote my mother) "a good fit is very important!!"

oh well. wanto go shopping for casual.comfy.things.soon.  ¶ 2:24 PM 0 Comments
