Life down the road.

So ever since I started work, what has changed in my life?

Every morning i wake up to the cool morning air in my air-con room. I dragged myself off the bed, and wish that I've someone to give a morning hug to. Not my parents or siblings of course...they would cringe if I did that. Someone...special.

Then i will go take a queue number, and wait for my little brother to finish his 30min bath, which is for a teen, ridiculously long! Once I'm done, its off to work, and back to the rat race. I squeeze up the bus, seeing all the stony faces of the office workers on their way to work. Then I'll queue with the clowns who started the trend of queueing for 'Today' and 'My Paper'. An awful, bad joke from life in Melbourne. Then I'll hit the MRT. And start seeing the everyday sight of the fugly Singaporeans. Singaporeans for once, relish in giving aid and care to foreign countries and showing that we care.

But in the early morning, no one gives a bloody damn. They would sit in the priority seats, pretending to doze off, talk on the phone, look busy, while the poor old lady/man, pregnant auntien struggle to keep themselves balanced throughout the journey. Even those who are seated, look to those in the 'priority' seats to get up when asked. Are seats supposed to be named and given a sign for the older folks to use..? The problem doesn't lie with the seats, but with the people. Sometimes they aren't necessary Singaporeans, maybe they are our SEA neighbours, or PRC Chinese who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. When the going gets tough, every man for himself.. the ideology of the selfish homosapien.

Then I reach my office...fast forward to the foyer. Buy my usual bee hoon + egg+ chicken chop = breakfast. Of course, including my mentor-induced Kopi+C. Then I trot off to the pantry, makan and to work.

Gotta start setting my new year resolutions.

But Firstly, things in mind.
1. Find a day to bring my girlfriend to meet my grandmother.
2. Find a day to bring my girlfriend to meet my parents when she is comfy with the idea.
3. Find a day to go for a photoshoot with Nani and friends on Singapore's architecture wonders.
4. Find a day to bring sister to look at universities of choice.
5. Find a day to make couple accessories with Jenny.
6. Find a day to design couple wear with Jenny.
7. Find a day to pack my bag for Hongkong.
8. Find a day to get a bbq outing with friends.
9. Find a day to pass books to Junwei.

Now for resolutions:

1. Work harder, work smarter.
2. Sleep more than 5 hours a day.
3. Exercise more than 2x a week.
4. Go aikido at least 2x a week.
5. More initiative at work please.
6. Mix better with my colleagues.
7. Establish contact with lost friends.
