I have got to stop making promises I can't keep. I am fully aware I haven't uploaded the photos I promised and other assorted things I said I would post. This is probably why I can't be a full time blogger. This and the fact that I blog so irregularly.

What new things do I have to report? Well...

1. I left my job on Wednesday and have been slacking since Thursday.
2. I am almost through with my intensive 2 weeks course, having just completely screwed up my presentation this afternoon and totally back-sliding on my readings for Monday's exam.
   
3. I bought myself a new mobile! The uber gorgeous samsung 12.9, aka D900.
4. Bought grey contacts after failed attempt at violet eyes.
5. Watched and cried over Happy Feet the movie (I love penguins & I'm never visiting the zoo! It's a prison and we're all wardens!)
6. I need to go shopping! (Who doesn't?)
   

The burning question after I tell people that I've quit my job is 'Why?'. Why did I quit? The real answer to that is... I felt like quitting. All right, so it may sound like a crappy excuse, but I've always followed my instincts and right now, they are telling me to quit, so I did.

Maybe it will turn out to be a wrong decision, but I'll live with it. God knows how many wrong decisions I already have to live with, what's one more? But hopefully, I did learn from my mistakes, I know I can be quite dense or stubborn, whichever way you choose to see it.

I'm pretty excited about starting my new job. The Boss seems like a nice person - so far. He could still turn out to be the boss from hell, but my gut feel tells me it's unlikely to be so. I think it's the right decision to go back to what I am familiar with, but dealing with a different aspect of the industry. It will prove to be interesting. The rest remains to be seen whether I can keep up with the pace and the learning curve. There are just so many things to pick up that sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed.

Yet strangely, bosses always tell me that they think I'm doing well when I usually beg to differ. Am I being too hard on myself? These 2 weeks nearly killed me. Going to classes 4 times a week is not a joke. Digesting information at such lightning speed makes me feel like I need to upgrade my brain's broadband connection speed so I can 'download' the information faster. I'll be glad for the month-long break.

I miss having a social life. Hanging out with Alvin and Elsie. KTVing with Mel, Sharon and Jemy. Hell, I even miss cycling in Ubin and beach games in Sentosa/ECP.

Seeing Alvin and Elsie today just reminds me that I haven't been out in the sun for a bloody long time. I'm too fair. Too freaking fair. I need a little color. Maybe I'll add that color on my hair or eyes instead of skin. Cos I simply turn red under the sun. Not brown or bronze. Ugh~
