phew! so much things going on at home, at work, with everything and anything imaginable. thought i better pen all these down before the memories fade ( Read more... )

it's incredible how one week of shovelling higher-level shit around at work suddenly puts a lot of things into perspective. as i looked deeper and closer, i find that i no longer have any more in me to give to this current management. i feel a lot of hurt and frustration within, because i realize no matter how i try, it will never be possible for ( Read more... )

got really sick after slugging it out over the weekend for a meagre part time stint, totally regret it. in the end i was out of action for two days straight. the pay was mediocre, and i took on the job without checking it thoroughly so urgh ( Read more... )

my thyroid has relapsed. noticed some sudden weight loss despite not actively dieting nor working out extra, so i quickly went for a checkup and found that my thyroid level has triple-fold since my last checkup in march. doc wasn't overly concerned as the current level isn't alarming, but still he bumped my med dosage up four times and scheduled a ( Read more... )

phew! it's been really hectic since my last post. a couple of pressing but damn sticky issues at work (causing me quite a bit of grief, actually). then a last-min email from the same organiser for last year's travel fair, asking for translation help that same weekend for another travel fair. the pay was pretty decent, so i took a day's leave and ( Read more... )

- suzhou work trip was madness! heavy eating and drinking, and not a single un-tipsy night! our last night was the worst; we drank so much at the japanese buffet and the hotel lounge that my head was whirling non-stop even when i laid down on bed. thank goodness i didn't have a hangover on the flight home the next day, just really dehydrated. heaps ( Read more... )

- just got back from a business trip to Busan! it was a really short 3D2N trip, and we got upgraded to business class for our flight to Incheon! the event was held at a five-star hotel along the Haeundae Beach, so our rooms had gorgeous views of the sprawling beach and sea. so epic that i gasped out loud as soon as i entered my room, which for some ( Read more... )

it's been quite a down week for me at work. things are just crawling along soooooooo slowly, and i find it increasingly hard to even fake the slightest hint of enthusiasm in my body language. sometimes i want to just grab my bag and walk out mid-day, and i bet that no one will even bat a single eyelid. my boss is MIA, and totally not responsive ( Read more... )
