blog at dawn

Just cant sleep. Kept tossing and turning. Must be all the food I had last night at the staff welfare dinner. Ate until I could hardly move. Must remember not to do that again. Still feel so bloated now.

Rusty,my syrian hamster, has made a umber of daring escapes ever since she was moved to her new bigger 2 ft tank. The problem is the tank has no proper cover at the top. Gonna have to find a solution to it. So either I go out and buy a lid proper, or I improvise something out of my odds and ends. She is so smart and so active, almost like a cat and mouse game between us to see who can outwit the other. The sad part seems to be that she is winning....

Seems like stuff is going on at work.

I was supposed to go to PPWC last year but they sent Hasli instead. And now my name came up again, but we reached a consensus to send Edward Sin rather than me. It seems despite all my best efforts,I am still irreplaceable. Darn. I do need a change in my work environment. Was gonna quit this month but postponed it to around the middle of the year. And now I am not even sure if that is doable. May wait until the end of the year when Agnes has graduated. Or maybe even later.Or earlier...

Miss Agnes so. Wish she was here. Feel like a lovesick puppy whenever she is not around. This Saturday we get to spend the day together,her going back to NUS,leaves cutting and lunch with jenny notwithstanding. We try to plan what we can do. This is gonna be like our last Saturday together in a conventional sense, as for the fortnight after that she has this massage thing on in the evenings, which means we can't do anything substantial for those 2 Saturdays. Sigh. But all I wanna do is be with her.

I bought 2 stackable drawers a while back to put all my stuff than had been piling up on my TV table. Turns out even 2 of those was not enough, So I went out and bought 2 more drawers. Now it looks too high. But at least now I have even more space for all my junk.

Bad stuff that happened lately:

Got a traffic summons for waiting in a No Waiting zone at Tanjong Katong Road. My fault actually, but I had little choice. One of the hazards of my job. We are expected to go to all these places without any provision of places to park. So now I await the fine.

A virus somehow got into the network system at my office. The part that sucks is that it was traced back to my User ID. This was despite the fact I was not using the PC at the time of the incident. I guess that is what happens when you log on to the system and fail to log out when you go away. I do not really care who was responsible for it, but I feel peeved that I am held responsible for it when I obviously had nothing to do with it. I got a warning letter from the IT guys who threatened 'disciplinary action' if such a thing hapens again. Initially I was gonna appeal but realised that it was pointless cos my ID was used by whomever. Life is not always fair. That is the price I had to pay for for not logging off when I was away.

Lately I been hearing that I do not tell Agnes stuff going on in my life. I dunno how true that is. Maybe it is just a matter of perspective. I tell her what she needs to know. But I do not tell her everything that is going on. I think no one ever does. It is not like Agnes tells me everything in a timely manner either. Sometimes Agnes feels that she only finds out things from my blog, or that she finds out what happened only after the fact. I guess ultimately we do not have to share everything. Just the stuff that matters most.
