I have had one hell of a rollercoaster ride week last week. First, it was a normal plateau with nice gentle. Suddenly it dipped an impressive pi/2, before swooping upwards at the same angle. A reverse square pulse if you will.
Reflecting back today, of course, it is just another one of life’s most precious lessons.
Of course, over the course of my life, I have heard some problems that others also face. I have heard some variant of this quote before, “A clever man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from other’s mistakes.” Thus, in the spirit of being wise, I do try to learn from others. But some of the problems I’ve heard are those that I really, really wish I have.
Losing weight again!? But I just ate!
Some people just can’t appreciate their own metabolism! How I would love to be able to enjoy the best junk food and wake up the next day with the calories completely and mysteriously vanished. These people should join a fats-anonymous class, where they can be sat on.
Unable to find clothes in my wardrobe that fit as I have lost weight.
May I suggest a trip to your local fast food joint? Or you could cut down on exercise and increase your candy intake. Less fruits and vegetables is also a good option for you. Because saving a few bucks is definitely much more important than keeping yourself healthy.
Too many leave/off-days.
Maybe my procrastinating nature and laziness prevents me from understanding why people are so adamant to remain working when you can sit and lounge at home, and get paid for doing so. I like my job too, but getting paid to sit at home, stoning away in front of my PC, is definitely an activity that cannot get any sweeter.
Don’t look my age; ppl claim i’m 23 when I’m actually 33.
I’ve heard this one lots of times but I myself had experienced this once. One of my dad’s friends asked me if I was studying for my O-level exams (usually taken by 16-17 year olds in Singapore) when I was actually studying for my 2nd year university exams. It was quite flattering. He must have been mesmerized by my super cute round belly.
Perhaps people who come to me with these problems deserve to be punched.
Of course, you now have the power to ask me this obligatory question: would you like some cheese with this whine?

nice one mat. and very corny : “would you like some cheese with this whine?” hahahahah
and i like the site! hahah lepak!!
I totally agree on the “too many leave days” thing. I’m sorry but I don’t think I will ever be able to relate to someone who whines about having too much time off from work. That’s just inconceivable to me. How the hell is getting paid to whatever you want all day not awesome?
Believe it or not, my fiancee’s brother-in-law just recently “complained” about it. If I remember correctly, he has about 30 days of accumulated leave over a number of years.
THIRTY. FREAKING. DAYS.
For a 5-day work week, that’s a straight 6 weeks worth of slacking off to be done. Oh the pleasures of working as a Singapore civil servant. The benefits are swell, but the work? Urm……
hahah.. well.. i did have 27 days leave at one point.. and yes, clearing it was a pain.. too little, we complain.. too many days, we still complain.. thing is, you can’t take ALL at one shot.. and staying home doesn’t mean no work to do.. ah.. work a few more years and accumulate your leave and you’ll understand..
27 days! That’s 5+ weeks of home abuse. *drools*
Of course, there’s housework, but it’s not like you’ll be doing chores from 9 to 5.
ya.. but my people from office still called at that time..
“noriyah, where’s the..”
“noriyah, can you..”
“noriyah, have you..”
“noriyah, i need you to..”
“noriyah, when you’re returning again?? you’re not extending your leave are you??”
that’s the best! thank you for making my leave worthwhile.
