The Princess Diaries

Dear diary,

I've been working a week now. Things don't seem so enjoyable right about now. Every time I think about working, it's about how I have to try to bluff my way through my work each time. I'm seriously hating it.

But someone told me that it's part of working. It's part of getting used to new routines which can be quite tedious at times. So I guess I should try to give it another go. At least look at this job opportunity in a positive manner. My lady boss said that I should just try to take what I can from this experience. Experience working in the office. It may or may not be something you wanna do in the future, but in any case, this will be another part of your life experience.

I now know what I don't want to do, and it's this job. I don't wanna find a permanent job doing the things I do now. That will be the last thing I wanna do when I grow up.

Nevertheless, it's something I will force myself to do, for now. Even though there will be times when I will say I want to quit, I must not. Because winners never quit, and quitters never win. Corny phrase which I don't think fits all that well in this situation. lol Not a clue why I quoted that phrase.

On the whole, I'm out of the house 12 hours each day. It takes me an hour to go to and from work. So you could say that I really don't have a life anymore. I don't know how working people do it. It's a little bit harder for me because I need at least 8 and a half hours of sleep each night. Better if it was 9 hours but I can't afford to have 9 hours of sleep now. Otherwise, I'll have 30 minutes less time having a life! Anyway, it means I have to sleep earlier than most working people.

But what strikes me the most about this working experience, is how inconsiderate people can be in the bus or train. I take the train pretty much everyday now, so I have noticed quite a few things about people in public transports. What strikes me the most in public transports is how people don't give up their seats to the more needy. Here in Singapore, the public transports are usually packed, especially during the peak periods. So with people like the elderly, the disabled, the pregnant, etc. they are the ones who should be given priority when it comes to having a seat. Unlike most people, I usually give up my seat all the time. The minute I see an elderly person, I try to catch their attention into having my seat. Fortunately, there are still some considerate people out there who do do this, and it's good. But there are so many more selfish commuters who don't.

Why, just this morning, I saw this elderly couple a few metres away from me who had to stand through one or two stations. They were too far from me and also, they were behind several other people, so I couldn't catch their attention. What thrown me off was how people near them didn't even offer their seats to them. The people near them weren't all that 'old' either. They were quite young people. It's so frustrating seeing people being so selfish like them. Just give them the seat already! Why be so selfish! Makes me wanna blob their heads. Just this once. Pretty please? XD

So to anyone who reads my private 'dear diary' diary. If you ever see someone in need of your seat in a public vehicle, please don't be like those arrogant pimple heads. Be more considerate because the world could use less inconsiderate people. In simple, be like me. ^^ hahaha

In other news, work and church has been taking up so much of my time. I don't know if I will be alive in a few weeks time because they're sapping the energy from every fibre of my being. I'm seriously getting quite tired. It's overwhelming. If I don't get some sign of miracle, I don't think I will last very long. Meaning, if I don't blog for a period of time, someone better send a search party to give me CPR. lol. Why CPR? I dunno.
