I am Thompson Boy

Which is very true. Though I thought my 30th was nice but then again the rest that follows aint exactly merry. There's so many things that I want but I stopped wishing. There is no point wishing. All it needs is some working. Actually loads of work. No guarantee of payoff. 31 is better than 30 31 is better than 30 31 is better than 30 31 is better than 30

So it has been 3 weeks of non stop work and through the weekends and one public holiday. Was so tired until I find it tiresome to think about anything other than "I wanna sleep" or "fuck this shit". It's not as though this happens everyday or all the time but sometimes you just want it to end and thank God it ended yesterday. Well, sort of. There will be a presentation by end of this work for the work that we have done and then wait for results. I am trying to keep my fingers cross and nonchalant about it but this will indirectly determine a lot of things for my future, career wise of course. But it's all done and submitted so there's nothing much one can talk about other than what to do next? I missed my big birthday because of work and now I am trying to perk up and think about what and how I will celebrate it...not in the mood yet but who knows. Next week will be Lunar Chinese New Year...so maybe a long holiday after that. For now, it's just sleep...

So how was your new year/holiday/year end? arguably it's my favorite time of the year as things move slowly (yeah right), lights are more romantic, people are in a better mood and work is slower (yeah right) but all in all, it's good or rather has been good. Then it's really back to reality and another 10-11 months before we can go happy holidays again. It's not that bad because looking back all these years, I have always been quite happy with things. Job aint bad and there are many things to be thankful for. Luckily this year/or rather end of last, I've found something extra to be thankful for. As difficult as it is, everything that has happened turned out to be a blessing for me and all I can hope for is a better year ahead. Despite not getting any younger (yes, I am turning three o soon) and not any richer, one shouldn't complain. Though I really need to be more serious in planning my life now. Before I knew it, I will be 40 and with no hair. But at least for...

But then I have my friends and more. So the whole week actually started with a weekend getaway with my colleagues or should I say friends at work to celebrate one of the guy’s birthday. I was there for the beer and the smoking which was allowed in the pool. Don’t ask me how we achieve that but we did and I have always thought that seeing people from outside their usual zone like work or drink place will let you see a different and deeper aspect of themselves and so that I did. However the drinking didn’t just stop there. Back at work on Monday and we hit the bar again and this time was the birthday boy’s turn to thank all of us for showing up at his do over the weekend and I was pretty thrashed the next day but still managed to scrape myself up for an early morning meeting. I didn’t think too much about it until Wednesday when I received another invitation for an ex colleague’s belated birthday do – I excused myself because I didn’t even know that person but still managed to get to...
