| took a break. a long one i must say, though still feels ultra short. it's coming to an end, on wed.
many things happened over the past 1.5 weeks. and like the lousy brain that i have, bet i don't remember everything, and won't remember 1 week down the road...
i bought myself a canon g11! that's something positive that came out from this break. it was a whirlwind purchase, many thanks to a teenage boy who was desperately for funds for a new laptop, and with sitex launching the next day - that upped the desperation.
with the new cam, i've been photowhoring. so far a whopping 600+ photos. all in a span of 1.5 weeks.  i brought it on a trip! to kusu island! but. only 52 photos generated. anticlimax. but it was a morning of good fun. lazy start, rushed breakfast, to the point of rushing to catch the ferry.
what other interesting subject matter for a glam camera like mine?
easy guess - baby foo  his photos take up like 90% of the total so far! what more i've been home when he's staying over. joy.
speaking of baby foo, he called me!
'yeee' seems to infer anything gross. his poo, mashed up biscuit on his finger, etc.
so when he pointed at me and went 'yeee', i didn't know if i should laugh or be kinda, offended.
when we were saying goodbye however, he exclaimed "yeeyee!" and pointed at me!
other than sounds, words he's picked up are 'ball' and 'mum mum'.
so, no mistaking that i'd think!
this is what people call 'pride' i guess.
beep got himself an iphone! that's positive #2 (or maybe #3, seeing as how baby foo calling me 'yeeyee' made it up the charts).
i've been playing 'boxed in' on it, and methinks i'm goood. *beams*
new toys in dec'09. pretty damn awesome, eh?
on the other end of the emotional spectrum, things haven't been too sunny within my maternal extended family.
money, IS the root of all evil. it can destroy kinship.
but.
that's because we have immature people.
people who don't realise they are at fault. people blinded by irrationalities, violence.
i am officially without 1 cousin, 1 aunt. i can't even bring myself to call the other individual my 'uncle'.
poor mom and another aunt has been left with the emotional burden. and i'm worried.
heard my mom scold 'f***' for the first time during this saga. well, she probably have used the term before, but still.
i'd hate to see my mom go 'crazy' because of these. she's already a little ditzy by nature.
i don't think i can leave my parents alone.
dad's growing older by the day. he's become naggier, forgetful...
and i'm still the useless youngest daughter, earning meagre salary, yet to carve out a proper career path.
4 people have since resigned during this 1.5 weeks.
that adds onto, what, an existing list of 10 people who's left or leaving?
this place is in shackles, and i don't care.
what i care is -
when is it my turn?

| hate it when superiors remark things like, "oh shit...", "irritating, you're leaving me alone here", etc when I go on leave.
i gracefully accepted your workload when you guys went on long leave. i survived mine and you load, i'm sure you can vice versa.
i've so far only gotten positive comments from3 people: 1 of the nicer bosses emailed - "enjoy your well deserved leave", and a client emailed - "have fun!" And a very absolutely rare "enjoy your leave" from a CMI boss. fwoah.
in any case, I've had a good start to my leave. got myself a g11, and having a great time exploring it so far. went climbing, and soccer! not too bad i must say. could potentially be a regular activity i guess, provided i get my ass outta bed on a sunday morning...
just 1-2 bits of work to clear during this time, and the rest of the time i'm just going to FI (f*** it) and have a good time. i do think i deserve it. Come what may when it's time to head back to the horrible ungrateful place. though just this afternoon, i dreamt about purchasing stock images during my nap. oh boy.
till then.

it's YL's first birthday! don't you think he looks like baby jughead? heh.  | | |
| it's only tuesday, and i've clocked in 28h at work.
i think instead of getting paid, i'm in fact providing a good percentage of free labour.
| | |
| i've never had so much dread for a monday as today.
i have a million things to accomplish tomorrow morning, i have to be out of office between 130-430pm tomorrow, and everything is me me me.
as much as i already know that, this is all totally not worth it.
i had a run-down with my mom on friday night/saturday morning. precisely because of this.
i'm contemplating.
in other greater news, it's the beep's birthday today.
Happie Birthday, beep!
hope you're having a great day
