Greener pasture on the other side??

Once my colleague told us before...

Why do you think the pasture is greener on the other side?

Some of us thought it's because of human psychology, some don't know, etc...

He answered:" Because the other side has more shit lah! Fertilise the grass that's why the pasture is greener what.."

Haha..quite true...sometimes from our side we thought that other people are better, their jobs are better etc...but who knows? Maybe they have more shit work to handle?

:P

So what's next?

Recently many things happened to me...

Makes me very tired...

and yet I have to put on my mask everytime I put on my uniform...no wonder some instructors say many actresses/actors were former "colleagues"...can act very well...maybe soon I'll be a 变脸大师 even...

Anyway...regarding Dubai...aiyo it was SUPER hot...40+ degrees vs 30+ degrees at night...my colleagues brought me out to buy their local snacks and we all had dinner before going back hotel to rest...

Had a gathering at one of the colleagues' room and we played Dai Dee, a few rounds and sian already..and we had beer also..I sounded like a bad girl hor? I drank one can of Heineken...then we all chit chatted..about all kinds of things, about life/work experiences...all the way till Spore time 6am before we went back our own rooms to sleep..I was the only one who stayed at a different level with the rest...the "manager" also but he's the most senior of course different...then me being the most junior I got the lowest floor...LOL...

Luckily everything was fine...just that when I ate lunch in the room halfway, wanting to watch TV, so I meddled with the remote, but the TV channel's don't work...then after a while the TV switched on itself...but the channels were blurred...crazy TV...anyway, it was broad daylight...I opened the curtains wan...so don't think too much..some TVs are quite auto wan... :)

so I stayed in my room, watching TV the whole time, slept, wrote my diary and went to sleep before I prepare myself to go work again....






The food we had at a Dubai restaurant..shiok..the mutton curry and chicken...I love their Naan (which means bread)... each person ard S$14 ba...reasonable.. :)

And the view from my hotel room...they seem to be having construction everywhere...so nothing much lor...but it's really HOT HOT HOT...

Some thoughts recently

Changed my song profile...my current favourite song...石欣卉's 《我知道我变漂亮了》..the show 《一切完美》 was nice, and the song is also good, I like the lyrics...written by 石欣卉 herself.

过去的批评嘲讽 (Let it go, let it go)
过去的轻蔑冷落 (Let it go, let it go)
有些人口不饶人
却忘了瞧瞧自己 又有什么资格

时刻都善良待人 (let's move on, let's move on)
时刻都做好本分 (let's move on, let's move on)
有些人心思浅薄
绝不是宽容 自暴自弃的理由

也许 确实也受过言语打击
也许 从来也没什么好际遇
千万别将勇气深锁在阴影里
我们又不会妨碍这世界继续美丽

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我被注意了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流
我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

时刻都善良待人 (let's move on, let's move on)
时刻都做好本分 (let's move on, let's move on)
有些人心思浅薄
绝不是宽容 自暴自弃的理由

也许 想说的话总埋在心底
也许 想要的爱可望而不可及
竭尽全力争取 幸福会看到你
大声说 你的真心全世界最动听

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我被注意了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

一个两个不懂 丑小鸭变天鹅啊
需要时间比较多
走过了伤痛才看得更通透
不到最后不会懂命运安排了什么

我知道我变漂亮了 (我变漂亮了)
曾难过 曾失落 微笑一下就过
外在的美貌容易戳破
内在的美好细水长流

我知道我变漂亮了 (我知道我也豁达了)
不自卑 不埋怨 就算还差一点点
用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼

用 内涵弥补一切缺陷
内在的美 迷住每个人的眼



I'm going to Dubai tomorrow! Coming back on Thursday morning 9am...means a night flight for me again...shag but also good, that means people will be sleeping...hiaks...

Seriously, currently at the initial stage, the job is tiring...and transition from a student to a working adult is kind of a drastic change, especially having to cope with the job...cos this job is kinda...special...
Sometimes I will even think, why did I want to try for this job in the first place...haha...the whole thing seems to have no link to my character at all...and that also explains the surprised faces when everyone knows that I'm into it...LOL...

Well, I think I really need time to adapt to all the changes, from a student to a working adult, irregular working hours, irregular working days, tons of DIFFERENT people I see everytime including colleagues...drastic change is the NORM for this job...I guess everyone who just got in also took quite some time to adapt ba...

I heard some people cry cos they kena scolded badly for the first day at work, some cried cos they cannot stand the loneliness overseas, all sorts...so far, I'm ok...still praying hard for myself though...haha...

I'm still blur and slow...TRYING hard to be steady...and I really must exercise lots!!! No strength to carry trays and pulling carts! Amazing!! LOL..

Oh...but...I don't really feel that excited having to go overseas leh...jialat..instead I feel very happy when I touched down in Spore...cos it's home sweet home! Maybe as what I've mentioned earlier, I need more time to adapt..and this job actually makes me realised that I missed my loved ones very much..and I should treasure having them around me even more...even my parents, I can feel that I talk to them a lot more nowadays, and they are seizing every moment to communicate with me when I'm home...not as if we aren't close before...but we are even closer now... :)

And it also made me miss someone even more too...i hope it's the same the other way round... :)

I'm off on coming Friday (22 Aug), Sunday (24 Aug), 30 Aug (Saturday evening cos I come back from Paris in the morning, I need to slp..hee), 31 Aug & 01 Sep (Sunday and Monday), 04 Sep (Thursday), 06 Sep (Saturday)...so far that's all I have... :)
