tmr my colleagues get one day off from work in celebration of teachers day, so because no one is gonna be in the office, i dont have to come to work either! YAY!

this is like the best news in a long while!

so obviously today, dont have much mood to work, although the whole morning i was kept busy rushing to finish today's and last friday's work. thankfully im all done now and have 2 hrs more to kill before knocking off :)

recently my whole body has gone whack.

it's not that time of the month yet, but i have been feeling bloated and queasy at times. appetite peaks and then dips at strange times. plus worse of all, i have been getting toothaches/gum aches on and off, particularly at night. sometimes i get ulcers, and always at the back of my mouth but then they disappear within a day.

WTH right.

i brush my teeth twice a day so i have no idea why im suddenly getting toothaches. but it worries me cos i cant sleep at night and my gums hurt :( perhaps it could be due to my increase in sweet intake ever since i started work. currently i have 3 packs of sweets + 1 pack of MNM's + other random sweets all stashed in my cabinet. but whats funny is that i dont eat sweets everyday! i only eat them when im falling asleep/craving/hungry.

i think the ulcers could be due to the hot weather and my not drinking enough water.

seriously dont know whats wrong. if the toothaches persist next wk ill have to go see a dentist :(

anw i shall not let all this get me down and instead look forward to my off day tmr :) think will spend it at home with a good book.

omg.. i swear tt when ur busy, the time just flies!
imagine, the whole of this wk i was mostly slacking in the office, taking my time to do my stuff.

but then today, friday, the moment i sat down at 8.30am i had work to do all the way till 12.45pm, had a quick lunch and then rushed off to a sch at kembangan. the sch thing was last minute - supposed to accompany my colleague there originally, but in the end she had something impt to finish and couldnt go, so i had to stand in for her -__-"

so sian ok.. it wasnt really a sch visit.. more like i was there to observe some emergency exercise. like say there's a fire in the sch, what do you do etc. basically i did nothing, just sat around. and the briefing + exercise lasted 3 hrs!

i was kinda cursing my luck, cos i still had work to finish up in the office and would rather be there doing it. but no choice, MOE is like tt, last min they will throw u stuff and u just gotta accept it and do it. oh well, at least i know i have work to keep my occupied on monday.

btw!

remember the roof incident? (see older posts)

on thurs morning the ceiling in the deputy director (my boss' boss) office collapsed as well! which is so funny cos her office is located on the ground floor. later i heard tt there's like some structural problem. apparently all the ceilings at MOE were recently renovated and the contractors must have done a bad job. so now the whole building and all the branches need to get their ceilings done again. tsk tsk.

so now i have a dusty and cold office :(

weekends are finally here again~! not sure what to do though..

i just need to get this off my chest even if the person is never gonna see it.

if you dont turn up for lectures/dont understand what is being taught u jolly well ask the teacher. dont wait till last minute, panic, and fucking try to pay other people to do it for you. then when it is not done to ur mighty expectations, kao bei.

if you had the responsibility you would have fucking turned up for lects/sought help. now you want to panic and rush other people and make people stressed in the process like they fucking owe you a living.

have some intergrity and do the work yourself. if you have to fail serves you right for not helping yourself. you can get people to help you now but will they always help you all the time? at some point no matter how much ur offering, pple will not want to accept ur fucking money. cos ur money aint worth the effort and all the shit they have to go thru just to get it.

FUCK YOU.

today i am blogging for the sake of blogging even though there's not much to say..

didnt slp as much as i'd expected to.. in fact was awake by 8am and couldn't get back to slp. maybe my body clock is finally readjusting itself to suit my working hours.. either that or it's because this wk was relatively slack compared to other weeks..

had meeting after meeting after meeting. sat until ass pain.
yesterday, totally slacked off in the office after submitting required work in the morning to my supervisor.

i have a long report which i should get started on, but i simply couldnt motivate myself. it didnt help that it was friday, it was raining like hell and i just wanted to get out of the cold lonely office. i was mostly alone as everyone had gone on meetings which i was not required to attend. so i just surfed the net aimlessly till there was nothing to surf -_-

overall a very boring, monotonous wk. i think i'd rather be busy with work. and i cant believe it's saturday already, tmr will fly by and the cycle repeats. i miss studying :(

friday night, am home blogging again.. ok this is getting repetitive.

anw! im sure some of u heard abt the incident at my workplace? those of u that saw my facebook post at least.

well for the benefit of those that didnt, a recap:

on tuesday morning, part of the ceiling came down on my colleague. she sits directly opposite from me. i wasnt there to witness the incident, was out of office for testing. apparently one of the wooden beams attached to the structure of the roof (my office is on the highest floor) broke off, crashed through the ceiling and in the process broke off some of the ceiling panals, which all came crashing down on my poor colleague, including the wooden beam which missed her head by mere inches.

this goes to show that even at work ur not safe! goodness gracious me. the whole place was in a mess, and workers and engineers were called in. eventually they removed the whole ceiling panals, so now when you look up you see the tin roof and what's left of the structure. as a result, the whole place is perpetually dusty and i never fail to sneeze when i enter the office every morning. its not the whole office tt got affected, just my section, which is at the back end of the office. 5 of us colleagues are located there.

so my colleague, the one whom the ceiling came down on, was taken to hospital. thankfully no broken bones or anything, but it seems that the falling debris did hit her on one side, so the last i heard she was suffering from migraine on one side of her head, and has some minor bruises. she hasnt come in to work since then. i feel so sorry for her :(

repair works have already begun on the ceiling, but its gonna take them ages to complete cos the workers only come in every evening around 6pm so im assuming they cant stay and work that long.

DRAMA OK!! -____-"

ok on to other things..

am finally finally done with testing and wont have to travel 1000 miles to the far ends of spore. WHOOT! however, will soon have data analysis to work on which im dreading cos i have yet to revisit and revise my SPSS.

this wk wasnt so bad, thanks to monday being a public holiday, so time passed faster. why cant they make every monday a public holiday?

i have tons of library books rotting at home, overdue and waiting to be read.. but every night im too tired and can only manage to read a few chapters, sometimes none at all.. i really miss having the time to read! yeah i know that now that im working, i shouldnt be borrowing books but i cant help it! everytime i go into a library i usually end up picking up something. i think i was a librarian in my past life. or a nerd. or both.

if only i were this studious when it comes to reading textbooks right? or my spss book. hahaha. hai!!
