Today is Hari Raya holiday.

It hasn’t stop raining since yesterday night, it’s a perfect day to snuggle in my blanket and watch movies which was exactly what I did. In fact, it started yesterday when I woke up in the afternoon.

I have been getting quite lazy to go anywhere but home. It’s complicated. Sometimes I just want to be out to do something, yet soon I will have second thought and feel home is so much more comfortable and relax and easy.

I watched ‘Body of Lies’ with my father the other day, his first movie at the cinema in years. It was a good movie and time well spent.

I watched ‘Paprika‘ just now. It’s a Japanese anime which was orignally a novel. It’s a pretty awesome film. It really amazes me the kind of imagination someone can have to create a story that has a storyline yet it’s so unreal and out of this world..like standing on that line between reality and fiction that is really exciting.

My sister is always complaining every since she started work, she has no time for TV. I totally disagree because ever since I started work, I have been working more movies and TV than ever. I devote every Sunday for TV/DVD time. It kind of makes me feel more knowledgeable in an uncanny way.

It’s freaking me out a little that I have been thinking quite a lot recently. I always think that’s me but it’s just a lot these days. I don’t think it’s because I am doing something brainless or routine or boring..I don’t know. It feels like my mind is functioning without my body.

To wrap up this post of..(I hate to use the world ramblings) but OK..of sensible rambles, I really love this ad from Leica cameras. It’s really creative and cute.

I can’t quit get enough of the ‘Lost and Found’ book I bought by Oliver Jeffers. I have to flip it open several times a day, the adorable characters always brighten up the day a little.

You know, if everyone could have some amount of this kind of child-like imagination, the world would be a better place I think.

I had a thought/theory/thinking about beautiful people while on the way home from work. It is a simple idea..but it just kind of link to every single thing in my head so I will try to link them up.

I was thinking, “Why aren’t there more beautiful people than ugly/average looking people?” I am talking about purely physically beauty. I mean, don’t you realise we don’t go around saying “hey, he’s handsome”, “that girl is pretty and so is the other one”?

i came to this conclusion: Being beautiful (still talking about physical beauty) makes you “exclusive”. If majority of people are beautiful, there will be a different perspective of beauty isn’t it? Maybe beautiful is not big round eyes or sharp nose anymore but slanted eyes or wide, flat nose? (Yeah, just like in olden days, fat is beautiful.) Am I sounding like it’s common sense? The point is, beauty is defined by human in such a way that it needs to be soar after/unique/rare if not we don’t want to be beautiful. We want to be beautiful because we want to stand out from the crowd.

It sounded more profound in my head, like there was suddenly enough energy to turn on a light bulb in the midst of that gloomy evening sky just now (wow, look sentence). And this reminds me of my FYP, my book was based on all these thinkings I have.

Yay, it’s a public holiday on Monday! Long weekend!!! I can’t wait.

I changed my paper tray to a nicer one and rearranged my office table before I left. It gives me just a tiny bit more excitement about going to work tomorrow.

I was about to type an password-protected entry about work but I am too tired for that after telling the whole drama to my sister just now. Why password-protected? Cos with technology nowadays, it easy for anyone (that means my boss) to track me down so you know play safe.

I always think it’s silly to blog and then password protect it, I mean blogging means you want the everyone to read it right? Now I understand, yes you want everyone to read it, except your superiors. So yes when I do have password-protected entries, email or sms me for the password. For my one royal and maybe only reader, Audrey, I will actually email you the password myself.

As usual, I don’t really realise the week passing by because I am so tired about work, I eat dinner half asleep. I am still getting used to the whole work cycle.

Work had been smooth sailing so far till today. No, don’t worry, I didn’t get scolded or fired. Just..how to I put it..was reminded today real working life is tough and gets pretty lonely. Everyone has to be on their guards which to think about it, is pretty sad..no one to really trust or befriend with. I think I blame Starbucks for making work so fun..and that was my first job so I am rather taking quite a while to adjust to a brand new environment.

Like every new beginning and fresh starts, there’s always a lot to think about.

I added Twitter Updates if you noticed. Since I can’t blog at work or I don’t want to excess my blog from work (yes the whole tracking down thing even though I already accessed my blog from work before), little updates will keep my need to rant fulfilled.

As I had nothing much to do this afternoon at work, I surfed around to rekindle my love for typography and found this site: ilovetypography.com. Beside it being an resourceful site about typography, I think it’s one of the most beautifully designed site I ever seen.

With more blogs getting nicer these days, I am quite tempted to work on a new theme but that will take ages.

Lastly, colourlovers.com has all the colour palettes to inspire when starting on a new art project/illustrations/web design. Or you just wish to look at pretty colours, highly reccommended as well.

I am so sleepy, it’s only 11.30pm. And I smelled curry from my window or maybe I mixed that up with smelly feet.

I could barely keep my eyes open on the train, felt more like I was dreaming on the train on the way to work. I was walking to building from the train station when I heard a rooster make the noise a rooster make (ok, I have been thinking about this the whole day, what is that word for that? A duck quacks and a rooster ______?). Being extremely grumpy, I was thinking to myself what kind of ringtone is that? I look up and really saw a rooster by the tree! It was quite funny, I mean it’s quite rare there’s a rooster in the middle of a heartland/city.

I tend to walk with my head down to avoid any type of eye contact with strangers. Do you do that?

Work was not as bad as I thought. It’s all in my head I think. I suppose now I can relax more when I work. You know when you on a trial period and have many pairs of eyes watching you, you must always pretend to be hard at work? No looking blur or sleepy or ask stupid questions. I am officially hired so you know, not as tense even though my art/creative director still peeks over my shoulder time to time. And the fact I am given real editing and assignments to do instead of doing bits and pieces of leftovers, make me feel more purposeful.

Time passed quicker today, I had work to do for most part of the day.

I am determine not to only blog about work but it’s my second week so bare with me for a while more.

I brought my toys and cute little things to place on my table! I took a picture but lazy to post it up. I only need a pencil holder and clips on my desk…for now. And more toys of cos.

Only the beginning of the week, awesomeness!
