Protocols!

Finally I experience the frustrations of working in a big company, protocols upon protocols. After juggling to cover the tasks of colleagues (because we work in a team) and handling the different tasks to the best of my ability, I realised that doing my best is not enough.
When I thouht an assignment was well-executed, it came back to me that though it was carried out well, I still have to ensure the protocols are followed in case anyone is unhappy if they are missed out of the loop. Hpmmh Hmppph. F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-E-D.
I guess it's really a good training ground for me and I just have to be Sharper than ever to be the salt of the earth.

Murderer?

3 months after settling into my new home, I've become a murderer.

I have killed (and I have pictures to prove it) 3 lizards within weeks.

Found these two sneaking around while I was doing the laundry, and I had to go after them with insecticide because I'm afraid of them hiding around.

This one turned black after dying...

People say I'm gross, but I think it's pure survival instinct.

It's amazing what fear can drive people to do. I hope I haven't offend any insects lover, but I simply can't let the lizards roam my house.

Be Poised!

What happened is this: I was walking and saw a young lady, fair and petite in front of me. She was dressed in a shirtdress and had her hair bunned up. She was sweet pretty picture till she started to waddle, walking with feet turning outwards in 'V' shape. Not only that, her hand flung outwards as she waddle. My God! And, I heard her speak Japanese, which added to my surprise as I thought for a sweet young girl her age should at least walk, not waddle! Even aunties look better!

Ladies, girls, Listen up! Even if you aren't ladylike and demure by nature, please at least walk properly. I was so turned off at the manner she walked! Now I know why guys feel so turned off when a woman don't have any poise at all.
