i was almost about to do something that i would regret doing for maybe the next few days...
it may even make me guilty for feeling guilty for just a few days, because i don't think its enough to take the guilt away.
its just....
the grey line between whats right and wrong
SO CHANGING THE GLOOMY SUBJECT,
i have just baked a superb batch of red velvet cupcakes for the first time in my life !!!
YES !!
theres always a first for everything like how i always say. yes it is my quote and im going to use it like i created it... just for today.
ok lah ok lah, just for a few seconds. don't sue me for claiming the rights lah..
so i was scanning through onecoolthingaday as usual every day, and i found this site that makes cool posters and stuff

hahahahah, the first thing when i saw the pet a nearby pet, i had to laugh.
just because i wouldn't think of petting a nearby pet at the first instance of not having anything to do at a party or wadever.
but its not true that nothing is impossible, i have been doing nothing for the past minute, unless spacing out the window is counting as doing something.
actually it takes a lot of concentration to not do anything for a few minutes.
it is a human's instinct to want to move or do something because we singaporeans are so used to doing something all the time at every single bloody second.
that is a very important skill to learn which can be used at almost every situation, but only at work.
when the boss walks round, just look like you are doing something and he would think you are doing something.
if you finish your work fast, nobody would praise you.
they will only think you have not enough to do.
so thats what i have learnt for the many years i have been working. "hey ah boy ah, you nothing to do help me lah."
"hey aron you dig finish your shell scrape then help us lah " (as if one was not tiring enough)
but too bad for me for being such a nice person (cough* cough*) hahahahhahahahaah. no lah. its just that when everyone is happy, its a good situation to be in.
our new superior was talking to one of our drivers:
"there are 3 kinds of people in this world. people who just talk but do nothing, people don't talk but do a lot of things and finally people who talk and do things, thats what i am."
i wanted to say that he missed out one more kind of people: those who talk rubbish and do nothing. thats him when he is not dreaming he is someone else.
of course i cannot discredit that he really does nothing. he is very good at giving us a lot more work to do so that we would not feel bored.
ok fine.. it feels like i have been b*tching about work in every post that i write. but thats the whole world thats rotating around me at the moment that its all i think about as well...
my colleague even had a nightmare that the whole company was asking him to apply leave for him at the same time. haha.
so for a change, i shall tell you lucky people a story to continue the series 'a friend of mine'
i have this friend o' mine.
he is all so cute and cuddly (i preferably like to describe him as such instead of the more rude term)
he is also very smart. yet there is one really childish fact about him, that he holds grudges very well. it can be his forte if he doesn't have any.
there was once when an ex-friend of his was playing this very popular internet game in the early 21st century where everyone owns a pet,
feed it, play games, feed it, train it, feed it, go to some fairy land to buy stuff. and we can open our own shops to sell stuff. it was such an addictive game. hahahhaha
then one day, my friend lost a lot of money and items and he was so sure that this ex-friend of his was the one that stole it.
i wasn't quite a fanatic of that game so my account was worth that much effort to hack into to steal, thank goodness.
but he appeared to have been affected so badly that he denounced his friendship with this guy on that particular day and since then til now, the both of them have never met.
its quite funny, the reason for a broken friendship. i'd faster forget about having a friend then break up one over a neopets account. hahahahahha.
talking about forgetfulness, the past week was kinda queer.
on the day wednesday, this driver of mine requested to do a favor for me. (how nice of him, but he just wanted the excuse to escape the office)
so then there was some confusion and then my colleague found two other drivers to do the favor for me. the first driver was so angry he didn't talk to me for a few hours.
then within that hour, a few similar situations occured to other people around me. a detail that another driver was so excited to go on was taken by another person.
the whole day felt like a series of multiple de javu s'.
then on thursday, when i was going to hand over the duty to another person, this superior who kinda hates all of us wanted to sabotage me for some unknown reason.
so he requested to check the attendance sheet and correct it against the master copy in the computer system to check that everyone who was present signed in on that day.
he was so smug that his sinister smile stretched ear to ear. i could see the stretch marks on his forhead.
during the time i took to double check the list he crossed out, he took the opportunity to walk back and forth infront of my table and spit japes to provoke me.
"HA.. ah ho ah (thats was he calls me. he calls another guy called ben - ah ben) today you si liao ('die already' in hokkien)"
if i was really determined, i could take that threat and complain to the government and all to get him sued for insulting me in a professional setting. i doubt he has any right to. but its the army.
so after all the checking, there were only 2 people who forgot to sign in. one was a rich kid whom they couldn't punish for some reason and the other is someone who is on good terms with this superior.
when i reported this to him, he almost seemed extremely shocked that he could not catch me in the net.
i would have laughed at the face he gave me when i told him about it.
but that would have given him another reason to get angry, so i just talked off proud and happy to have overcome the obstacle peacefully.
then again, there is another problem which i am very worried about... the accident that happened a few months ago.
i think the higher up management have finally come to a conclusion to the investigation and there would be charges and all.
oh my goodness..
even thinking about it makes my stomach roll.
god protect me.
