Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

Friday, February 21, 2003

Hmm...this week has flown by like super super quickly! Well, these 3 weeks actually. It's been 3 weeks since I left Singapore! I suppose I was right when I said that 3 months is not a short time but it is also not a long time. Alex is not here today, so I am like relatively free. I mean like I've already had lunch and as one of my collegues is going to Manchester for 3 months, we've also had really great cake to eat. She baked it all herself. I really aspire to be like her...good baker, tattoos, really really funky!

Erm, because all this time has passed so quickly, I can hardly remember what I've done at all. Well, at work I got to translate a letter into English and assemble some information folders together. It was quite fun really. But I am still not really done with that silly database...well, maybe...depending on the feedback from those who haven't replied. My eyes are pretty much gonna explode from staring at the screen so much. But even leisure activities here are pretty much computer-based, in the office at least. Ugh, I dread to think I'll have to change my specs cos my degree has gone up again!

I love writing emails, but I have somehow been getting fewer and fewer. I have to admit that I cannot expect too much, cos everyone has their own things to do...but I am glad that there are those who write to me regularly.

Ruth should be coming back today. I don't think she is coming to work but I saw her boss during lunch just now. I hope she'll have lotsa news to tell me when she's back.

Work is getting more fun...well, the office anyway...I've been staying late these past few days cos there's nothing to go back to at home. When Ruth is here, I usually leave promptly at 5pm...hmm...actually don't have much work to stay back for, but can always find something to do lah.

Erm, don't think my German has improved at all. Erm, but it is my fault. I am unbelievably shy here and I hardly have anything to say...as I said, not many common topics of interest.

Oh, I'm further along the book now...the subplots are merging together. It is actually not really mainplot-subplot, but 2 plots together in a book. Not bad...but due to all those Lit lessons, I'm beginning to analyse the whole thing too much. Whatever happened to 'leisure' reading?

Okay, back to work again...
