-=| The introvert me. |=-
It is already the end of the 5th week of school. Stress level is building up tremendously, be it in school, in work at home and everywhere else. I don’t know if I would be able to pull through everything, but I will try very hard. I guess that this is going to be my catch phrase soon ‘I will try very hard’, as it is frequently used by me to answer questions I cannot guarantee.
There are so many things in life you cannot guarantee, like exam results, things happening to you, the outcome of things, in summary the future. Life is just so unpredictable; maybe that is why it is so fun to survive. It is when you manage to survive, you can look back and smile at the hurdle and say that is easy peasy. It is also that when you cannot jump the hurdle and gets disqualified, you will kind of know that that is your limit. It is either you are not trying hard enough or you are just gone because you have tried your best and others are just so much better then you.
I don’t know why I am so emotional today, probably because I guess it is today that I take time off for myself to reflect into the past. Life is just so unpredictable, “Today you are in and tomorrow you are out” ‘OUT’ of this world. Once you are out, you may never enter this realm ever again, if you are lucky you can make it through again but the competition to survive is back again. Sometimes I wonder if I was suited to be in this game, brought up to “love” others(Enemies) as yourself, to give the left cheek if someone wants to slap your right, to forgive and forget… and so on… It is all just so extreme.
Competition is a pressure (Pleasure) cooker; someone has to win, and the other to lose. I guess what Serene says is true “It is either you die, or I die. However, I would rather you die.” I feel as if like I am walking the plank on a pirate ship, if I fall off I would just be food for sharks to sink their teeth into. And do not be surprised but the pirates are actually your “friends” in school.
It is great that I’ve met this “Ye Xiao” clique(Yvonne, Serene, Nicola, Youjin and I) of friends when I started to work, I guess I can add on another reason of why I never regretted working in my holidays. I never regretted working and still am because it allows me to have extra pocket money to splurge myself on, to kill some of my time (not for now), meet different customers and of course having a clique that goes out for yexiao(supper) and be siao(crazy) together. But one thing sad is that we are all going to be separated by our own work; I hope we could still meet up but I guess it wouldn’t be that frequent.
I was looking up ‘passive’ just now when I was writing and when I look at the synonyms I realize that that was the word describing me thoroughly. I guess it is sad, but I guess I am actually quite an introvert. Words like Inert, inactive, submissive, reactive, flaccid and not proactive was in that list, and I guess they do describe a lot about my introvert side of me. Sometimes I tell people that I am an introvert and many just laugh their heads off and say that I am as loud as a loudspeaker, come to think of it I guess I am just not open to the unfamiliar. I guess people like me have few friends and would have a hard time finding friends. Enough of being sad and sob-by, I am glad to have Ye Siao and all the other friends who treats me as one. I guess the Joel everyone knows is changing again; even I do not know what I am becoming. Probably I might be a monster? But I hope not...

-=| Im back! |=-
Lets travel back in time to May. I slacked at home for a month after my assesments. I got a job at Baleno in june, worked a month at the J8 branch. Continued working at PS up till now. Working in the serving industry has thought me many things, and i realise that many things actually happens behind the cashier.
Signages saying 'UP TO (Fill it in yourself)%' or 'FROM $(Fill it in yourself) onwards' doesn't mean anything. Socks may cost $4 in Baleno but during sale they sell it at $2, that is considered a 50% off. What a bargain!
It is so absurd, but it actually works.
I started off not being that proud of being in Baleno. But come to think of it, it ain't that bad. Customers actually are the people who makes your day. I've met a couple of them, and they are just hilarious. They are just so fun to be with, serving them is just fun.
College in Lasalle has already started for about a month. The fashion classes has began, looking back at all the pains i've gone through the past year was all worth it.
Enough of the looking back, there is a hard fight right infront of me. The work load of projects are still in the initial stages, but i'm sure when it reaches the mid term the preasure might have just built up. The recent case of the graffitti might just not be a act of being deviant, but probably he might be stressed?
I'm still unsure of the situation but i guess it is going to be quite bad. I don't know how things would go, but i just hope things might just turn out better.
