PANDAMEN ♥

Finally, two more days of work and I'll be free! Been slacking a lot these few days, usually I spend my afternoons watching PANDAMEN ♥ It really isn't that bad, not the worst that I've watched so far. Love the behind-the-scenes after every episodes, I get to see Jay working hard. 认真的男人最美丽！

Finished the second book Daniel lent me - 楼下的房客. Immediately after putting down the book I googled the song "Gloomy Sunday", and it gave me all the creeps. I know the myths about it being linked to suicides is not true, but when associated with the storyline...I cannot fully explain it here, but imagine this scene: A petite lady, wearing a silky white dress, makes her way down the dim staircase, dragging with her a large black garbage bag. The uncomfortable dull thuds the bag makes with each step, the light yet crisp sound of her heels, and her quiet humming of "Gloomy Sunday". The bag breaks, a streak of red substance appears, and the sight of a head with 2 pencils stuck in each eye... Yea, that scene was even more vividly described in the book, in chinese! Urghh I'm having goosebumps just writing about it here.

On a happier note, er, urghh that image, yea I shall write about what I've learnt during this period of work. I've definitely met a lot of people I wouldn't have a chance to meet if I were to remain in my current social circle. Shiyun Qiaohan and I are probably the only people in the office to have been in university. Most of the rest graduate from ITE. The way they speak is definitely not what we get to hear every day, but they do know of things that I usually don't think about. It's like, their problems are more related to their survial, literally, like having money to feed themselves. Me? I worry all day long about not getting a scholarship to please my mum. It's the same issue - money, but somehow I feel my worries are superficial. And then I get to talk to the older girls too, and learn that they think the young ones are too immature. The older girls are more experienced in their way of handling work and people, they don't show displeasure or complain openly, but talk about it in private. I'm like stuck in the middle - I can relate to the younger ones (actually almost my age) and I can hold a conversation well with the older ones. In a way, I get the best of both worlds! Ahaha. My Excel skills have also improved loads! But I don't think I'll do a lot of excel work in my future career.

Hmm, looking forward to Jay's concert next next Sunday!
