Just somethin'

I’m not exactly feeling too well today.
It’s one of those days when my head feels abit heavy and it is a sure sign of a pending headache anytime soon…Bummer!
I dread such feeling really. Been having frequent headaches lately, I guess it’s cos of work creeping up and not to mention my stress level.

We were at an initial meeting yesterday at customer’s site @ Bukit Batok. Bummer! Why can’t we have projects closer to my home! Blardy tired to travel to and fro like that you know. And I’m the only ONE who stays that far anyway. The rest of my team stays like 10 mins away or mostly just half an hour. Crappo!

Anyway I’m really kinda bored now. Not that I’ve got nothing to do but I’m seriously bored doing it! I just keep procrastinating, this maybe because I seriously don’t enjoy what I have been assigned lately. I feel like a “care-le-fair”, (read literally) simply meant extra! This term is usually used to describe those extras who act in dramas who have no role in anything but simply to make up the crowd. Some lucky ones might have some lamer lines to read, else you’re just there to walk around in front of the camera. So…..I feel exactly like an extra these days. No major roles, or maybe not even roles, just there to do whatever that is left or needed or simply cos there’s no one else doing it kind.

Anyway that aside. I’ve been visiting more and more blogs lately. Simply because some of the usual blogs that I follow have somehow turned dry/boring/predictable and so ever attention seeking that I feel it’s more of a pretence thing now to keep the whole image and popularity going. Lame!

So as I go though random links between bloggers, I realized that there are actually really good writers out there in Singapore! I mean good as in they have a really special touch when describing how their life is. It’s almost like reading a novel except it’s real!

Who ever said Singaporeans have no good writers, always speak Singlish and can never converse intellectually? I truly beg to differ since…

Sometimes when I wish to go beyond my own current mundane life, I look forward to reading other people’s recollection of what’s been happening in their lives…Interestingly, some of these blogs do contain very personal details, even to the extend of sex. The truth is, I don’t find them offensive or anything, I mean, it’s their blog isn’t it? But it’s the way they portray their lives in words that makes it interesting….It’s nice to “live” outside your life sometimes. It lets you dream…..=D

You see, the choice of words when you write is very important. It’s like saying ‘nincompoop’ to someone when you really meant ‘stupid’, or to say ‘go away’ when you really meant ‘get lost’. Each word/vocab has a unique way of defining the degree of intention. It’s like saying ‘I like you’ to someone on your first 3 dates so as to not scare away him/her. And ‘I love you’ to him/her again when you are in a committed relationship sort. ‘I like you’ will not be appropriate anymore.

I must confess that I’m not a good writer at all. My English is failing me and everything that comes out of me now is pretty much SAP related. It’s like talking in SAP terms! *shudders* It sucks! I know. Job hazard! *sulks*

I think I’m a much better conversationist anytime compared to a writer. Ha! I just complain too much! =p
