r.e.f.l.e.c.t.i.o.n.s

Ah... finally.. a Saturday at home.. feeling so contented as I had just finished the last page of the Harry Potter 6 book. My arms were feeling tired from holding it up already. And I just got off the phone with my loverboy - with that nifty ip to phone call thingy service from StreamyX - 20 cents per minute to australia. Not bad eh? They even gave me a 'free' headphone set (.. yar.. Rm15 every month for the service.. they should give me a god damned new computer altogether.) Quite surprisingly, the headset arrived in just 3 days!.. Hmm.. service seems to be perking up a lil' bit.. no wonder they are charging more..

Anyway... I have been TOTALLLY busy and tired out. With the coming M&M's Battle of the Bands finals and a few last minute roadshows with Celcom and god-knows-what-else, it's a wonder that I still get to talk to William everyday (yar.. with my eyes closing and my brains shutting down at 10pm every night.. I can't even remember what we talked about the next morning!). Now, the auditions for the bands are happening at AkarKarya Studios somewhere at Uptown is being held. I am still waiting for a call from my boss to see if I need to stand in for the auditions should he be not able to make it. Lalalala... it's 12:28pm and the auditions are at 2pm. He had better dial my number now or I am just going to laze around for the afternoon... again.

Hmm... I do remember that I have some branding revamping to do with MYC!... Hmm.... ah heck.. I just finished with the Celcom and McDonalds website... .. Lazy ler.. and it's my Saturday off for heaven's sake!..

This job is extremely fast paced. You gotta think quick and be on your toes always. Wai Leng has been a darling - reminding me of the little things that I always forget. And I do miss the little lunches that we'd take at Wisma Cosway with our ciggies and lady gossips. Hehe. But all of us are so tired. And I am sick now - down with a little flu and.. weird tummy cramps. But yeah, I've been running around looking for miniature guitars. I'll take a picture and show you - they are supposed to be souvenirs for our partners in M&M's Battle of the Bands. And I... am supposed to figure out how to stick those darn things on a block of wood - to make it look like.. .. a trophy.. or something.. 'presentable'.. (they'd only cost RM13 at central market)

Yeah.. one afternoon, wai leng and I ventured to central market to look out for the silly guitars. We went from one stall after another - and the guys were just staring at us from top to bottom as we haggled the prices. I think we must have looked very out of place. Then after that, at 8:45pm, (he promised us he would be there at 8pm), Jason came and joined us for dinner at Petaling Street. It was a very enlightening evening with my boss and wai leng. They LOVE to eat. I was just so tired, i couldn't keep my eyes open.

Well, it's going to be a rather lonely month for me. With everyone so busy with their work and lives.. including me. I have my other problems... but i don't want to think about them. And then reality hits you smack in the face and then you'd have to go back to thinking about your problems. Yeah.. I know.. people would think.. 'Eh?.. Lynn?.. She has everything!... She loves her job, she knows how to enjoy life, her mum loves her, she has 3 cute furry dogs (plus 3 more.. Rusty just gave birth.. again.. ), her aunts love her, she has a boyfriend who is obsessed with her, her bf's mum invites her over for dinner.. etc.. etc.. '..

Yeah... there's so many things in my life to love about.. I guess it all just boils down to that one evil thing that silly men created - money. And I was just speaking to a junior of mine - whether she loved her current job. and she replied 'What is there to love about jobs? I just love money.'.

Is that it?.. Loving money gets you to places?.. Nah.. Not for me. I just love my job. Money is important to get me to the work place so that I can love working my job. Not that I am a workaholic, but I take pride in what I do. I am proud that someone appreciates my work, I guess..

Ah. Jessica just left for Melbourne last night. I do miss her company. I was so tired when sharm and I were at her place the previous night - just a girls night where we would pig out on pizza, bak kua (dried meat) and.. papaya and cinna sticks from Domino's pizza. They were playing Burnout, listening to their whooping cries of victory.. I had actually fell asleep on the very comfortable couch.. at 10 pm.. Well, I was stuffed from the cinnasticks.. (i love those.. expecially with the icing.. yum yum.. ).. and I was really whacked out from work. I was dissapointed with myself for not getting her something before she left.. like a card or.. something. I used to do that when I was younger and had time. But I guess now.. .. i'm all busy and.. adult.. and all that nonsensical excuses that I shouldn't be using.

Ah well... at least Sharm would still be around for a little while.. now that she has finished her CLP.. and then she might be going off to.. Zimbabwe.. was it?.. Or was it Cambodia..??? Yar.. somewhere around those two places ler. I think she would be gone for quite some time.. a year perhaps.. .. she does want to get out of Malaysia.. but what i really think is that she wants to get away from her parents... I'd miss her so dearly too.. although I haven't been confiding in her about my problems and stuff.. - cause i think .. they'd never understand the problems that I have... they are so sheltered within their family .. and they are not working... they don't have to fend for themselves... *sighs*...

Well, now Eve might be leaving the company. and then I'd have to help in looking for more designers. I do wish her all the luck.. She is a great person and a great friend.. always giggling and laughing and smiling and... whacking you left-right-center-and-round-and-round-like-a-merry-go-round... heh. A definite gem. And yeah.. Jade is a dear too.. amusing and a great lunch and shopping partner.. hehe. I have great colleagues.. great great great ones. Even the interns are leaving too. I think they are scared of me. hehehe.. what's new... *muahs muahs* to all of you.

*muahs* to my cousin too... who had 'graciously' pointed out that Stephen Gately was from Boyzone and not 911. Hehehe. I told you, your cousin here is getting old.. facts all messed up liao. Brain also dunno think of what... all useless nonsense. Hehehe. I hope you are enjoying your internship. I will make a trip down to singapore one of these days.. maybe in August or something. hang on... It's August soon eh???.. er.. maybe September or October then.. hehe.

And not forgetting my boy-boy.. I love you. Please do remember that. Study hard and study smart.. and I hope you do not end up like me... drowning in problems which only you yourself can sort out. I hope that you'll have a great future ahead of you which I am very sure it would not be a problem. *muahs*.. 1437.
