Think I ought to give myself a pat, congratulate myself abit for being strict on not taking the cab to or from work. Sitting on the bus gave me the luxury of excuse for finishing my Candace Bushnell book. Man, I'm 2/3 through. Wooohoo!
Almost coincidentally, I figured the direct-relationship between the number of days passed CNY, the higher the influx of passengers on the bus, depriving me of sits despite my constant boarding time on the bus to work place. Sigh. *puff of smoke*
Errr.. were my opening paragraphs abit too dramatic? Ok, let's toned down the drama volume. Back to the main objective.
Work was boring. I realise finding things to do is pretty much a toll. Not having anything to do is worst. 5:35pm sharp, I bunk-off. Couldn't wait to get home for a salivating dinner (home-cooked chicken cutlet..bon appetite), so hopped into a cab without 2nd thoughts. Watched Ip Man - a strongly inspiring story. The stunts were awesome.
Prior that, I watched the news. Surprisingly. Oops. Coz usually by the time it's 10, I'm often online. At time, I do visit CNA to check if there's any interesting news. But hey, live news reporting is much more attractive. Ok excuses, I am hardly a "current affairs" person. So what. At least I try.
Anyway, there was a news on unemployment. It's speculated or should I say, forecasted to be worse than previous'. Man.. it's worrying. I recalled a couple of months ago, the Government was coaxing the situation, advising consumers and companies to remain optimistic. I guess, the coax didn't work as everyone knew it was gonna happen and precautional arrangements such as cutting costs, dropping consumption pushed for an earlier economic crisis. I watched the unfolding of worsening events, it worries as much as it is disheartening.
The next was the news of local crime rates. Theft, fraud and rape cases have shown increase for 2008. The funny thing was, it's amazing to learn of the 600+ cases in a nation where security was contempted to be top condition. Guess it is the impractibility of reality.
Then, all of a sudden! The clip of an old granny talking on the handphone. Wuao.. it's not everyday I see this. Maybe daily business for people who hang out at People's Park.. Definately not for me. It occured to me.. oh goodness, the complicity and infinite ascertainty of generation gap. You go man, ah po! (granny in Cantonese)
I read a section in my current reading material, talking of the rich and poor and how the characters associated were filling. It's true, lie's never about the better of both worlds. You have some and lack some. Philosophic talks? Nope. Just realise the ugly side, as well as it is the interesting part of life. Ugly side is realising how limited my life is... interesting part unquestionably derives from how I can breakthrough and live life annoyingly fulfilling.
Time is what we need most which we are lacking. It is a harsh fact that it has to be divided to feed our bank accounts and personal commitments. Usually, the supressed victim might most likely be the latter. The "Wiseman" would advise that this effect can be mitigated (did they dared mentioned eliminated? I don't think so) with time-management. Effective time management that is. Which requires effort and discipline in the initial implementation.
Passing CNY would be frightening. Coz I know for sure, it will be like hour rush thereafter with two solicitors' audit, two special audits and 1 major Church client in my workload responsibility.
Plus Gabriel's yet to finish my UMP review. It's gonna flank in the milst of the forthcoming back-to-back schedule.
With the economy stiff, I wonder if there is gonna be more things to consider in our audit. In fact, I'm abit weary whether I could keep my job. Perhaps... thinking too much. Speaking of which, despite me saying many times, I'm gonna recite it again. I need to monitor my expenditure. Like D said. He bought two pairs of NUM slippers. Had 8 at home. I have 10 pairs lor. I don't seemed to have anything else I could buy. Sigh. Is the shopping list burnt?
As I was saying.. I ought to save for a rainy..no... typhoon weather. Clara and Mohan must be remarking: "Maybe you can begin with making less cab trips"!
