That's Life

Welcome to the real world Bro!

I got that greeting everyday when I browse the Net or the newspaper for any part-time vacancies. More than 90% it requires either prior experience, being able to speak mandarin or both. And there's only a pathetic section in the malay newspaper. Sulking will not make it any better. Just ride with it.

Daily routine hasn't changed much. Wake up early to help mum with the curry puffs and kuih dadah that she makes. Slacking on my bed reading Stephen King's Skeleton Crew and spooking myself out. Testing my patience when practising on the keyboard. Playing maplestory and pangya to make myself sleepy before succumbing to the bed for an afternoon nap. Is there even a hint of productivity?

Had a chat with Eugene and Yi Hua the other day over the MSN. Looks like Eug is also looking for a job too. But the difference is that he's passing time while I'm looking for income.

And tomorrow's Su's birthday. It actually coincides with the day of my medical check up. And she's kind enough to bring me there tomorrow. Maybe I can make her a birthday card or something. Yeah...


I can count the strands I have left,
where have the rest gone?
Were they even there in the first place?
Or just that they weren't meant to stay?
