I Know It Is Not This

"I don't know what I want, but I know it's not this"

I came across this title on a book in the library and I fell in love with it straight away. It totally conveys what I want to say.

It was pay day yesterday during my internship. Phew, 4 weeks down. After dividing the amount by 30 days and multiplying by 25, I realised I am only earning S$14 per day, from 9am to 6pm! It was astonishing, really. After subtracting off transportation fees and lunch money, I'm practically left with nothing.

No wonder my cash on hand is depleting like there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, my bank reserves can only get higher. I suppose I am nearing my plan to save enough and more for a graduation trip.

On the other end of the spectrum, since I only have taken one part-time job so far, I can only use that to compare, I am earning S$5 per hour. Not much, by any other account, that is the unofficial minimum pay.

Still, today I worked for 7 hours, which means that I've earned S$35.

Damn it, why I am working my b*** off? Oh, right, because this internship is compulsory and graded. So, that grade better be worth it because it has to be equivalent to all those cash I've lost and given away.

One more thing, what happens if your boss wants to add you on Facebook? That is exactly what my boss did. What the crap? Why is he bothering anyway?

I'm hardly going to change my life over someone unimportant. Although, if I really do add him, I will take all precautions to prevent him from knowing what I've been typing. Then again, if I ignore him, what is he to do about it? Write in my report that I refuse to be his "friend"? Creep.

Anyhoo, regardless of whether I will add him or not, I will delete him from my list once this internship ends, because our contact ends there and then.

Ramblings

Another post for the miscellaneous stuff.

First of all, I wanted to scream! What happen to Fanfiction website!? I need my fix, now!

God, I sure hope it's not my problem, whatever that may be. I don't mind that much if they have maintenance problems or what. Just give me back my Fanfiction by tomorrow morning and everything will be fine.

As of now, thank goodness, Fanfiction is back on. Yay!

I've read many novels so far. I'll probably spend some time reviewing some of the novels these few days. For don't what reason, I don't feel like typing much.

I'm getting depressed. Maybe it's due to the fact that school is reopening soon. Yes, it's immature of me to demand a longer holiday. If the holiday is any longer still, I'll become a worm.

I'm aiming for a total of 1500 posts in the Lex by the time I go back to school. It's not that hard to achieve that, as long as there are people who will play in the 2 threads I frequent.

There is painting work going on in the housing estates. Gone are the sunny red, orange and yellow paint, here comes dreary green and more green. I've seen the sample of the end result, it's really different. It's this mix of greenish-blue and green design.

Oh yes, my cousin finally gave the disc containing the photos of her wedding, with me as her bridesmaid. Some of the pictures are rather flattening, if I must say so myself.

Last but not least, I made some New Moon-inspired banner and avatar today. It's quite different from my usual banners. I'll post them up on Facebook as soon as I edited them and perhaps on here too.

That's all for now.
