Yadda, Yadda.

It's been three wonderful and lovely days in school, would you believe?! Lotsa love and fun over the three days.

Ghani said, "Find the silver lining and it all turns into a game,"

I suppose the silver lining's always there, just that sometimes not too immediate or apparent. The 'game' part I'm not too sure, 'cause I'm really not too big a gamer. But I've to say I had fun anyways.

Once again, caught up with many things. It's quite taxing to have to constantly pull on the reins and stop and think and realise that things are not all that bad after all. There is more to life than just school or work.

I realised that school DON'T happen to be my major priority. But yet it takes up a large part of my life, being a full-time student. I'd rather work more on myself independently than letting school work me out.

For the umpteenth time too, I need money—MORE money. I find myself getting broker and broker by the hour.

I was just talking to Sofian over lunch yesterday about jobs. By the way, having been in Lasalle for over 2 months now, it was the FIRST time I met up with Sofian for lunch.

Anyways, I was just wondering, maybe I should move on and get a higher paying part-time job. Statistically and theoretically speaking, it would be fucking chicken feed because I DO NOT BELIEVE that there are jobs out there that pay less than $4 per hour. However, realistically and practically speaking, finding a nice job to stick to is, humbly, quite tricky.

Maybe move on to work for Cathay Organization or something. I mean, after all, I do have well over 2 years of experience ONLY. Sofian said that it might just work out since it's like a 'rival' company. We all love a bit of poaching, don't we?

Then again, I'm not sure if I wanna reek of popcorn anymore too. It's been playing on my mind to get freelance design projects. I always believe that if it's a good piece of design, it will generate a good piece of pay cheque.

Couple of weeks back, I was out shopping at my favourite boutique when the owner dropped the bomb by asking if I'd like to do freelance designing for him. It was quite a stroke of luck because frankly, I'm guilty of not actively sourcing for freelance jobs. So he just kinda engaged for me to brainstorm some ideas for the boutique displays.

But so I've come to realise, to juggle freelance job and school is quite big a juggling act. There is a gazillion things to do for school, a million of which deemed quite unnecessary but mandatory. PLUS! SCHOOL DOES NOT PAY YOU FOR YOUR WORK! It's a personal sentiment that I found shared with fellow classmate/freelance graphic designer Melvyn.

Therefore, just go be a gigolo AND rent boy. Drain the juicy and plump accounts of unfaithful tai-tais AND horny uncles. After all, I'm young and fresh, got the looks, got the height, etc; it's a whole damned premium package, baby! Instant cash returns, some more.

I envisage my ginormous glass wall-cabinet displaying all 40-over Freitag products.

I took out a bottle of cool water from the fridge and observed that it was sweating profusely in the hot SG weather. It brought to mind none other than myself. This morning, during a futile search for a working cash deposit machine, I find myself much like the bottle of water—cool.

On a whole other note, a certain shit-stirrer at work said that trickery and deception are the tools of business and trade.

Anyways, here's something hot: Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil Extinction.



I didn't know kicking zombie asses could be this hot, even hotter than the desert they're at. The bit of flesh exposed at her thighs ultra turn-on siah! Plus those boots! And the scarf! Rugged yet sexy.

You know, Halloween just round the corner, and I'm just thinking of a rugged and sexy costume. Well, not for me, of course. First, dressing up for Halloween is not quite a tradition for me. Second, I don't have spare cash to splurge on Project Alice costume, or any other costumes. Just thought whoever dresses up as Project Alice would beat the SG weather hands down.
