Shitty at work

Jan 6 09, first day back to work... it is very difficult to adjust going back to work after the holiday

waking up at 6:15 (no sun, raining all the times), catch the bus at 7:00 arrive office at 8:00 (the sun still hasn't been up), work without soul, mindlessly, have the left over lunch in the office (to lazy to walk outside + so cold), counting down the times, then leave

bus bus  finally home around 7:30 (dark)

shower, dinner, tv, tired, head to bed

then another cycle

"when was my last time seeing the sun?" hahha kinda like that moive ummm.. i forgot the name anyways..

this is so mindless, boring life, i need a change

Dec 25 2008 @home my 3rd day trapped at home due to the snow

Friends:

The 2 days 1 night "trip" shopping at Metrotown, staying at Celia's home was really nice, so fun. Friends are the best.

I have been meeting a lot of new people from badminton, so good and fun! too bad Mandy left HK... I hope she will do well in HK.

Health:
Great, playing badminton weekly does help.  I am trying out the Chinese medicine too, I hope my allergy can be gone forever.

Family:
Parents are ignoring as usual but it is nice to have their supports. Brother and sister are doing well; I'm proud of them.

Love:

nothing, still waiting for my "the one" patiently. No target, not been a target.

Work:

Work was difficult at first, but it is getting better and my boss sees my strength. Waiting for the skytrain in Nov and that is the reason I would stay here for another year.

Future:
Maters is unavoidable. I need to do it sometimes in the future.

New Year Resolution:

1/ Pass LEED

2/ HKU application

3/ UBC application

4/Real Estate exam

5/keep in touch with friends in HK (AA friends, elementary friends, sister's family, Vancouver friends who moved to HK) 

6/ visit sister and friends in HK for 1 month... ok at least 2 weeks

7/ more saving savings...

8/ play badminton

9/ find a worthwhile part-time job

10/ stay happy and enjoy every bit of my life! 

Sept 2007

its been half a year since my last entry...

time flies, i have done so much during the past months, although i am still confused with what's ahead of me, i think i'm heading the right direction...

after graduated i

got a job,

got a place,

living alone,

leaving parents

start everything from fresh

fresh people, fresh environment, fresh lifestyle...

i'm so lucky to have all those supporters to support me  Winnie, Perry, Coburn, Tommy, Susanna is so nice at work, Ho Ho, Amy, Perry's family, even the landlord is very much like a father to me, o man, how can i ask for better than now!

do i appear very weak? even the unknown street people would offer help

Hongers are not that "mean" after all

but i still miss vancouver

this week has been the craziest week

Sat. worked from 8 45 to 17 45, then went to the theatre event till 00, then went home and worked on my project for 3 hours, slept at 3

(12.5hrs of work + 8 hrs of sleep)

Sunday, woke at 11, ate, out 13 to work on my group project until 02, Kinko, so pissed off, spent an hour with the dumb-not-knowing-how to print on double sided paper staff, then decided to go home and print on my own, worked for another 3 hours, bed by 5

(15hrs of work + 3.25 hrs of sleep)

Monday, woke at 8 15, at school by 9 30, last min brush up, 10 30 done....

dizzy, studio for another couple hours, home by 17 30, passed out until now 00

(4.5hrs of work + x hrs of sleep)

school is really tough for me right now, i don't even care the quality of work as long as i'm done the requirement, but the requirement is already so overwhelmed, well i can't complain cuz i'm just 3 more weeks until the end, ai~ as always, well this might be a good way to end, so i can get prepared for the hk working env't

(work your ass off + having very little sleep)

the past two semesters at school, i was definitely trained me for working ass off and having little sleep

(i think the Kinko severs in 24hrs esp. for architecture students, i saw another person waiting to do a blueprint drawing middle of the night too)

+ i'm trained to resolve the problems of my design during my sleeping time lol~ i kept making dreams about working on my project and thinking i'm done hahaha

or horribly seeing other people completed their work and i didn't

O

welcome to architecture...

 uncertainties

so far the reading break for me is so good, so relaxed, lay back, doing some and not doing too much, however at the same time i am feeling very confused because there are so many uncertainties laying ahead for me

short-term wise: mid term next monday, i'm so die, still 30 more readings and each is about 20s pages readings, for an only 10% exam, so not worth the time, ok then, if not worth, shall i just sleep through this reading break? or i shall try get thru them? -- o well just a silly decision

mid-term wise: what do i do after grad? ok i've already planned to take a trip to HK for few months, going for vacation then maybe do interviews for a job trying out the architectural firm in hk, then what? going back to Vancouver, leaving coburn, and finding a job in Vancouver? working as a draftsperson or architectural assistant forever?

long-term wise: then what? continue studying? at where? not UBC for sure then where else? study what? master of architecture or urban planning or interior design? until when? tuition $$ from where?

why can't i just be like this forever... going to school, flexible schedule, parents pay for my living, working part-time for my unnecessary goods, going out with coburn, going out with my brother without worrying about money, without worrying about my career, without worrying about financially supporting myself, without worrying about i can't get a job that i like

life sucks
