one shithole to the next

i mentioned a new job in the previous post didn't i? and you must be wondering what on earth am i doing now? well all i can say is that i've just jumped from one shithole into another. *smacks hand on forehead.

i'm now with an event agency. always thought that it would be fun to do event organization. not only would it help me take a step towards my 'one day i shall be a wedding planner' dream but it also gives me the opportunity to meet people and erm yes, that would mean the cute dudes in the process too. hahahaha. kill two birds with one stone. so clever. so yeah when this offer came knocking on my door, i just thought 'oh, what the heck? let's just do it.' you only get to live once you know. and nothing ventured nothing gained. i've really got nothing to lose since i'm young and stuff.

and just 16 days into the job, i'm beginning to think otherwise. people just keep dumping stuff for you to do all the time and you know what's the best part? they call this hands-on experience. hello? throwing a beginner into the deep end without a safety harness will only lead to one certain outcome. death by drowning.

i feel very much like a paddling duck right now.

someone please throw this poor duckie a life vest. quack :(

aloha!

rehi. i'm back.

lots of things have happened within this period of time: went to bangkok for the first time, realised that mr cool dude ain't that nice after all (sigh, it's a really long story), resigned from job, bummed around, searched for jobs, went for interviews, bummed around more, finally landed a job opening, celebrated christmas, ushered in the new year, started on new job, and now back to blogging. so many things have happened just within a short span of 2 months. it's simply quite unbelievable at times. for the better or worse? well, only time will tell.

have you ever felt that sometimes life is so way beyond your control? or that there's a greater being or force that's out there governing everything that happens and that you are just part of some show that is being staged? a puppet on a string at the mercy of the puppeeteer? as hard as man may try their best to carve out their own destiny, they will always be subject to circumstances in which they have totally no control over. like they always say, man prosposes, God disposes. i couldn't agree more.

hello 2007. hope you'll treat me well.
