When its all about the fame and the fortune
Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power Some people live just to play the game Some people think that the physical things Define what's within And I've been there before But that life's a bore So full of the superficial Some people search for a fountain The promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way to prove you love them Hand me a world on a silver platter And what good would it be?

Inspiring McJob?
According to channelnewsasia, McJob is actually found in the British dictionary and this is the meaning that comes out of it.Oxford English Dictionary (OED) describes a McJob as "an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector". I went to run a check at wikipedia and it said the same thing. You can check out this web if you want to see it for yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McJob.
Well hey, that's what it is isn't it. A low-paying job! Here's where it gets juicy. Macdonald WANTS to change that meaning to "reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding and offers genuine opportunities for career progression and skills that last a lifetime." *Linda faints* Well, i suggest that the first step they take is to review everyone's pay in MacDonalds. Staff there ought to be paid 1500 per annum at least with annual leave just like any other MNCs. I'm not a Mac staff and nobody is paying me to say this. Just throwing out what's on my mind. That'll be the day when pple start rushing to send in their resumes to work for Macs. Will that day ever come? Hmm... ..
Queasy... that the way i will describe how i'm feeling right now though i'm just 30mins away from knock off time.
Yesterday i watched the show Hana Kimi with my sis. It was the last episode. I started watching the show mid way say 3 weeks ago. And can i say that i was appalled at how it ended. It's like ARGH... you kow how is it like to watch a show only to realise that the ending is so disappointing. The same goes for story book. I was almost strangled my sis. She lah... always want to watch that show. Grr... Waste my time... luckily i didn't watch it from the start if not i'll be furious. Its a love show and every love show should have an ending like if the couple ends up together or not. But does it? No it leaves the audience hanging there, lingering not knowing if the couple got together anot. I don't like!!!

Tuesday Morning
The sky looks gloomy this morning. Nothing bright or cherry about it. Just like my head it feels empty. I feel sleepy too. But the call this morning made me smile. Gary made my day, even when i was feeling sleepy and feeling a little under the weather. 8mths made me think just how much do i know of him thus far. Different countries but bonded by the same belief and values in life. I'm really really thankful for him. The going may be tough at times, both for him and for myself. Nonetheless, we've pulled each other through by God's grace.
I may feel that i'm stuck in a rut, but God may have an explanation for it. Perhaps God is preventing me from entering a career path which He knows is not for me or not His will for me. It's all about God's perfect timing isn't it. Not about what the majority are earning...etc. Which brings about to a short conversation i had with my neighbour this morning. He was waving and saying goodbye to his precious daughter. Why did i say precious. He took time to wait for her to respond with her eyes (she can't talk yet) and i could sense a "daddy don't want to go work but spend time with you" kinda feel. Anyway, i met him again at the bus stop (we both took different paths to walk to the bus stop). Had a brief chat on what i was doing at work and all. Don't know what is he doing, but hopefully he's happy with his job. More updates later!
