Ok, since I'm waiting for my colleague to finish something, I shall update a bit more than a bit.

I am now working in a financial advisory firm (I know, totally no link from my course of studies, be it secondary school or poly).

But I'm in the marketing department of the firm (yes, now there is a relation right?)

I'm probably the youngest in the whole company at the moment. But people in my company are generally young (my CEO is 35).

I'm being piled with work, and I'm working 7 days a week. No I'm not exaggerating; my office hours are 9 to 6, but with the amount of work I have I can work till 10 plus on a weekday. I bring work home on weekends, so that's why I'm working 7 days a week. Webmail is my new best friend at home.

My boss put me in-charge of a huge project (why he chose a 20-year-old with no experience over a more experienced manager baffles me), and I am second-in-charge for 3 other big projects. My projects will last till late August, so if you can't find me within this time frame, I am either in my office or at home doing work. If you don't see me around after late August, you know I screwed up and I'm dead.

I'm sorry my friends, I can't spare a lot of time to meet up with you guys. If I do have the time to meet up with you, please feel very honoured ok, I only give my time to special people.

But even with all the cons of the job, I still kinda love it. I have a nice boss, nice colleagues and there is not much office politics (that I have encountered yet). I've already learned a lot, in the short 2 months plus I've been here. Although I want to learn more, I desperately need a day off (to really sleep through the whole day without dreaming of unfinished work).

My god. I typed this entry much faster than I type out a 250 word commentary. I wish this inspiration comes to me every week when I write my commentaries (I have 10 commentaries to write every week).

I have kind of given up my dream to be a Singapore Girl, for the moment. Anyway SIA isn't hiring now. So it's not that they don't want me, its I don't want them =D (yeah I know, self denial is powerful)

I'm going kuku I tell you. I even asked my family doctor, "Do you have something to extend my day?" He looked at me blankly. I think he thought I was nuts. "24 hours a day is not enough. Look at my eye bags!"

His reaction was so funny. "Then do you want me to give you something about that?"

Hahahaha. I wasn't expecting a reaction. So I said, "I'm joking la."

He looked utterly relieved, as if I asked him a super difficult question, and I really meant what I was asking. Hahahaha, comic relief.

Seriously, I don't even have time to celebrate my 21st. SAD CASE. I'm thinking of all the presents I won't receive. REALLY SAD LOR. Imagine, 20 years down the road, when my friend asks me, "How did you celebrate you 21st?" Then I'll answer (very loserishly), "Working lor."

Sad right? Hai. Never mind. I hope my boss gives me an increment after my probation is up. I'm feeling a little overworked now.

Okay. I'm going to sleep. I need to wake up in.. 4 hours time. Hai. GOOD NIGHT.
