Week 2 - The Light at the End of the Tunnel

The week past back rather quickly, maybe becos I am daydreaming or lazing around at work too much. I did not quite finish up the things that I set out to do at the start of the week. I wanted to finish my JHA, machine safeguarding and tonnes of other stuff at work but emm, maybe I set myself too much things to finish. On the good side is that I am so tired and sick that I am not thinking much about the unhappy things especially with Zhu...

I had planned to work OT on every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and alternate Saturdays. This would effectively adds up to about 50 hrs of OT which would give me some extra money. Money is something that will sure come in handy especially with the kind of situation I am now. Emm, more working hours should equal to more things been done right but emm, I thik it is not so for my case.. dunno why but emm, maybe I set too high standards for myself or I am just to concentrated on doing a certain thing that I find that I am not able to finish much end of the day. I was telling one of my colleagues about my current situation now, I have say five things on hand, all of which important (to the person who asked me to do it), so should I concentrated and try to finish 1 of the things first and left the rest where it started. Emm, people may end up asking me why there was no action taken after XX weeks for the other 4 items. Worst off, after completing 1 item, a new one most probably be given and you are back to square one with 5 unfinished items that you have not even started. This is why try to do a bit of everything everyday which may not be so good as I am not entirely focus but at least there are progress in everything unlike finishing 1 item and leaving the rest untouched. Got the point?

Colleagues comes and goes, this week it is one of the guys from the maintenance dept. No one initiated any farewell thing for me and for me which you may say busybody despite my tight schedule decided to arrange a dinner on monday night. I managed to get 6 other guys together with me and the guy leaving to have a halal thai dinner. Food was good, the ambience was also good. As I am the initiator, I paid for the bill first which comes up to $115 which is really cheap consider the kind of food we have.. emm, it works out to $16.50 per person but emm so far I only managed to collect from 4 person.. but then what the heck.. it is not much money anyway and I enjoyed the food... hahahah.. planning to go again next thursday.. my treat... anyone game?

The rest of the week past by as usual except that I reported sick on Thursday.. no football this week cos I treasured my life.. playing on a muddy field with mud and unknown item lying belong is not something I think I wanna do again. I went back to work on Saturday as I arranged for a meeting with a gas vendor and food caterer, we planned to set up a kitchen at the plant. Hopefully the ungutted fish, uncooked chicken and whatever you can think off would be a thing of the past once the kitchen is set up.. in the meantime, I will emm, go out and eat... hahaha.. met up with a friend to sell him some cards and then caught a movie "American Gangster" at tampines.. I had wanted to find some place to catch a nap as I have to go to Bedok to buy curry fish head for dinner at about 6 pm.. emm, ended up the movie was quite exciting and I sit through it.. good thing it last 2 hrs and 37 mins, but the time it finished it was just nice for me to pack the dinner.. as usual when I am giving treat.. buy plenty of food but ended up, my dad and brother is not back home yet , Mom dun wanna join me for dinner so have a lonely dinner again.. sian see bor...

I tried calling Zhu after dinner and later in the evening but she did not picked up my call.. was so tired so hit the sack after watching a bit of soccer... Tried calling her again this morning and in the afternoon but emm first thing no one picked up then it is in use.. emm, is she avoiding me.. but I thought we promised to be good friends... will tried calling her again this evening.. most probably she is away in some other city or really busy... emm...

Life is like taking a walk in a tunnel, waiting to see the light at the end of it..Like many people I am waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel, be it with my financial problems, my work.. my love life.. in the meantime, I just have to continue walking in the tunnel hoping to see the light soon.. if there is one...
