Sue me...
I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to write or express or say certain things on my blog...
Sue me for thinking that I could...
I mean, its only MY blog and MY thoughts and MY everything else...whatever.

Girls will be girls...
the glance...the look...the stare...the glare...the turn of the lips...the twisting of the hips...the lift of the nose...the intentional pose...the curt remarks...the sly undertone...the hidden meaning...the competition...the crossing of the legs...the crossing of the arms...the flirtatious action...the need to be the main attraction...
Knowledge is power
I'm sick of "lawyers" who think that they know it all...who claim that they know what they said...that are set in their ways...that defend themselves and their actions all day - and all night - long...
I'm sick of people who think that they're "important" just because of who they're related to...reality check - we're all our own person - yes, connections help, but at the end of the day its not the be all and end all...
I'm sick of people who throw their weight around...who accuse others...who, after accidentally exposing their true self for that split-second, lie, and lie again, to cover up whatever other previous lies they've made...
I'm sick of two-faced people - or three-faced, in some instances...
I'm sick...I'm sick...I'm sick of it...
Knowledge is power, and right now I could totally expose you for who you are - not that people don't already know...you know you've got a reputation and so does everybody else - and on that note, it makes me think once again - why bother?

Face it
Standing right in front of me...staring me straight in the face...I’ve been told, re-told, warned numerous times – I’ve heard it all...But I chose to turn a blind eye...now, though, I see it for myself...its evident – obvious, even...things are not as they seem – you are not whom, or what, you try so hard to portray to others – true character can hide no longer...
Grow up – you’re not young anymore...stop trying to push responsibility, and worse, blame, onto others...it only reflects badly upon yourself – the truth always comes out...its only a matter of time...
Events of the past few weeks have demanded that I draw the line – that oh-so-very-fine, fine line...events come and go...people will move on...and at the end of the day you’ll have to deal with yourself – your conscience – your (lack of) integrity – and that guilty, nagging feeling thats gnawing away at you right about now.

Outta the loop!!
'twas December 2004...
'tis now June 2006...
1 and a 1/2 years later, "stuff" reaches my ears...
Funny how no-one dared to say anything at the time - or at least not to me...
Funny how supposedly "everybody" knew - about the nothing that was going on...
and its funny that even now, one and half years later, "A" couldn't even just say it!!

Alex's farewell dinner
So we had our second JAL meet-up for this year...aka Alex's farewell dinner!!
I swear, if you ever want a "pick-me-up" or an instant "feel-good" moment, just hang out with these two - when they "verse" and "take on" each other, its funny as!!
I'm often left in the little gap between a rock and a hard place though...
Joy: says something about something
Alex: says something about that same something
He then turns to me for backing...hmmmm...silence is golden - what can I say?!
Anyway I definitely got my 20 mins worth of "deep-belly laughing" tonight...man these guys are hilarious! :) Highly recommended!

Plodding along...
Today is the first time I've ever wanted to cry when at work - ok ok so a few of you are thinking "no, thats not true"...so let me re-phrase...today is the first time I've ever wanted to cry when at work solely because of work...
Last week, I took study leave thanks to my crappy exam timetable...so as you can imagine, when I walked into my office on Wednesday afternoon (mind you - this was straight after my exam), the only thing I had to look forward to was a week's pile of work waiting for me...I decided to do all the "small & easy things" first because deleting stuff of your "to do" list gives you a sense of satisfaction...achievement...that "yes" feeling! So that was my great plan - until I hit a brick wall...
I started a task yesterday morning...it wasn't supposed to be big nor time-consuming...it was supposed to be "small & easy"...but little did I know that what I thought would take me a couple of hours max, would end up taking me almost 2 entire days...
And this afternoon, I had it...like really had it...I literally just wanted to stop working and cry (ok I don't know why but crying makes me feel better :) Anyway, I was so so frustrated...like frustratingly frustrated ...But its just so not cool to cry so I had to hold it in and plod along...plod plod plod...
Anyway, now its done...finally...I don't feel anything...not happy, not relieved, nothing, really...weird huh? I think I've "passed that stage"! Guess its just another thing off my "to do" list...and I'd better get back to plodding along!! More work awaits...DML!
