30th Jul 2018: Yet Another Day of Being Annoyed at Work

By Posted on
This morning, Z asked me for the nearest MRT station to office. I told him Tiong Bahru. He asked which bus to take from Tiong Bahru.

It's a simple question which I can easily answer but I feel just so fed up. Mainly because I don't know why he doesn't wanna use Google Map. Why do I feel annoyed? I asked him for the address and how to go of another location previously and he told me to use Google Maps. Lol. Why doesn't he do what he fking preach.

Contempt is definitely building up for some reason, and for quite a while already.

It started out with him being incredibly messy. Then it became the wrong use of English words which changes the meaning of sentences. Example, using "compromises" instead of "comprises of". His English is so bad sometimes. This morning, he asked me if it's a single 'p' or double 'p' in the word 'Maple'. I dk, what do you think?

Then today he borrowed my mechanical pencil. And he used the eraser at the back of it. Wtf. Can't he see that it's never used before? And why can't he just bring his own stationery instead? Everything also borrow. Borrow every time never put back to its original place.

It's not like I wanna be selfish or be a bad colleague. I want to work harmoniously with my coworkers but this is slowly getting too much for me to take.

Just a few minutes ago, he input information into the company's shared Trello board without a proper formatting. Sure, it takes less time now to just copy and paste things inside. Next time? Anyone (including himself) is gonna have a bad time trying to find the specific information they need.

And this is damn stupid considering how J is so speed-oriented. How many times have Z got scolded for not being able to retrieve information in time and yet he still wanna do things to slow himself down.

I can never understand wtf he is thinking. How am I supposed to continue working with him. Talking to him properly doesn't work also.

06th Jan 2021: I Miss Dating

By Posted on
I miss the feeling of dating. As life becomes more overwhelmed with work and other commitments, the sparks of a relationship and the priority of it kinda gave way. I miss the late night dates. I miss the unexpected and playful kisses and touches. I miss the flirting on texts.

26th May 2022: Oh How the Flames Have Turned

By Posted on
Things are not getting better at all. I feel that I am losing grip of my life, like a puppet just being string along daily, by everyone and everything. I feel like a good for nothing who can do nothing right. Not even in things that I am interested in. Heck, I don’t even think I am getting the basics right, like breathing and even the use of vocal cords to talk or sing. At this point of time, I’m questioning why am I even on Earth and whether there’s any purpose for me to live on for. Practically speaking, I am just a waste of Earth’s resources because I am a good-for-nothing.  There was a point of time in life when I felt genuinely happy and felt contented. Now, I feel there’s no substance to my life — empty and just unhappy. Happiness seem unfamiliar, as though it’s a myth. I don’t know who I was, who I am. I don’t know what I wanna be. Dodo asked what do I wanna achieve, and the only thing I want to be now is happy. Len said I used to be cheerful and kind. Sweets said she saw me...

16th Sep 2019: My First Ever Resignation Letter

By Posted on

Not much explanation is needed for the content of this post. After struggling for 9 months, yes, I have submitted the letter. The letter was first drafted last year, after I got to know of the promotion and pay raise that I did not have. Then subsequently revised a few more times to dampen the angst and steer it towards a more professional tone. Despite preparing for this moment for months, it was still a tough decision to make even until the point where I hit "Enter" to send it out. What am I going to do after submitting this letter? Will I be able to deal with the uncertainties. Where am I going to head to after my last day of work? Can I handle what is about to come? Amidst these myriads of thoughts, I still come to the same conclusion that this wasn't a rash decision and it was a careful choice that I have decided on albeit not the smartest one that I could have made. Between money and sanity, I chose the latter. Together with my dignity.
