Uncanny

The Japanese chef at the seafood bun stall working downstairs at my workplace’s supermarket looks uncannily like Julian Casablancas…just a much, much rounder, stranger-looking and uglier version..and Asian version. Really, at a glance he does really look like Julian Casablancas. On second look, you will realise he’s not a hot rockstar but a chef that makes excellent seafood buns. I think it’s the eyes, somehow when you look at him, his eyes are so droopy that it seems he’s drunk or having a hangover.

…..

Somehow the above sentence sounds wrong in many ways.

I got so much to do at work recently, feeling more drained by the days. I am still too new to be feeling sick of this job. Maybe it’s not really job, it’s more like working in general. I don’t like working.

Old & Feets

I met Neuman today for a short catchup. It’s really great to see him…it really felt like ages since I last seen and had a good chat with him. I think it was when I was in lower secondary school, when I was still geeky and shy (and nice, Audrey Benedict).

On a totally different note, the bottom of my feet is crazy peeling. I think I am a little dehydrated, my skin feels tight and dry all over. And you need to know this situation because ________.

I want one of those toe socks, so I can moisture my feet and then wear them to let my feet bake. Ok it’s not bake, it’s just to let the moisturiser locked in. And you also need to know this fact because _______.

Ok, goodnight.

Father’s Day

Today is Father’s Day. I almost bought this very funny fake moustache kit from Paperchase yesterday but it was 15 bucks for some felt strips with cute packaging…kinda not worth it so I gave it a pass. My mother suggested I get a new pillow for my father as his is flat. We fitted it with his pillowcase and place it back on the bed…and as my mother suggested, he didn’t even realise.

Today was a lazy day, I watched a lot of TV. I want to blame the weather for my irritated mood…my temper is getting worst. I always thought I had a good temper…was patient and nice but in recent years, I realised or I have grown to be quite the direct opposite..which is kinda sad..like I had this understanding of myself of 21 years then suddenly have to depart from this and move on to a new person…I don’t know, it gets complicated.

I met Audrey B. yesterday! She went to the hospital with me to see my sister who has ugly rashes on her leg. Yes, I am so mean right…saying things like these about my sickly sister. (See, this is what I mean). Argggggghh…….this week it just one of those soul searching week I presume.

ANYWAY, we watched ‘I Love You, Man’. I liked it…it was really funny. Paul Rudd and Jason Segal is just awesome together. I still can’t wait for ‘Up’ and ‘The Time Traveler’s Wife’. Have you seen the trailer? I showed it to my sister at the hospital, she can’t wait to watch it too after reading the book. I love both Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana too, so I really can’t wait to watch it.

Oh, seeing all the movie posters and standees of the new Harry Potter movie, makes me wanna continue reading Harry Potter which I regard to say, I am only at my second book. I bought it at Popular today for fourteen dollars and xx cents.

I really, really, really wish to go on a long, long, long, long holiday right now.

Stickers

I am sad I am blogging so much lesser.

I think I am just not blogging as much because I don’t want to be boring everyone with the daily routines of work. Furthermore, I can’t reveal too much on the www anyway. I am a smart blogger (I hope).

But if you are dying to learn more about my job/the current most exciting happenings in my life, this is the highlight of the day:

1. Today was my first time pasting those stickers on glass display windows. Those in one whole piece is fine but not the one I did today. And the one I did today was the Mango Sale one, you will get it when you go down to Mango stores but I am guessing when you reach a Mango store, you will be looking at the sale instead. Mango sales starts tomorrow at 2pm! I was so tempted to do my advance shopping while it’s still close to public but I don’t think it’s very nice to mess up the racks when the Mango staff are unloading boxes of clothes all over the store. Ok, I did do some way advance ‘chopp-ing’ already.
2. Was bombarded with tons of signages to do.

Will be a busy week this week with sales and events all happening together, will probably be OT-ing all week.

But I will definitely make time for my dear beary friend who is returning from Perth on Thursday.

I have been at my current job for around five weeks already, fast…way too fast. I am getting the hang of work, the systems and all. So far, it’s pretty alright.I think a reason why I would say I am happy at my current job is that I think I am doing something I am good at or capable of. Throughout school life and my previous job, I am often demoralise because I can never do a good job no matter how hard I try. So I conclude it’s important to be confident with you do and the results. It’s a pretty commonly heard thing but it’s just an ‘ah-hah!’ moment when it happens.

I am definitely feeling older by the days.

Uproot

Over dinner, my parents were talking about our expenses as she might need life-long medical care. They were saying, as a last resort, we might need to uproot, sell our house and move back to Hong Kong where medical expenses are much cheaper.

I always want to move back to HK, but not this way.

It might just be the tip of the iceberg.

This indeed isn’t over.
