shuang xi

It's gonna be my big day and my big year 2011. Finally, as the song goes, I'm finally getting married.

Yet, all that I have imagined and pictured beautifully for my day came crushing down as soon as the announcement is made. All the unnecessary suggestions and advice flood in and immediately replace the picture with the most tiring day or clown day. Yes, it's my performance day.

Sometimes, I really dun understand Chinese. It's hard to. The customs, the flaunting of your riches, the stubbornness and etc..

Can't it be a day we make our choices and celebrate our love? After all, it's our day, the day we remember for our lives, the day we have each other in our lives, the day we begin as us, seriously what is it that really has got to do with you???

The tremendous pressure weighs heavily on my shoulders, makes me breathless, makes me want to abandon and escape. It's that bad. They have a share of their day, and now they want to make ours like theirs :(

Compassionate???

The word we were told how this place works. Perhaps the person who told us that got the meaning of the word mixed up. In what way is this place a compassionate one??? Cause no one is and I sort of feel cheated.
 
Every work day, I woke up with a tired heart. The heart to believe that this is the place that i'm going to stay for 42 hours a week x ? years. With just 5 admin players in the team, the politics can be equivalent to that of a 50 pax volume. Every single day. Yes, you are right that every work place has politics and I just could not understand why. Shouldn't we make a place that we may stay more than we are at home, a place like home? Why must you turn it into a war ground? Because of the invisible yet invincible ladder and mighty lord $$$? Does it really make you happier by destroying others? Every single day, I get more and more caution over my work, checked that i'm not stabbed or wait for others to come to you, hey you have been stabbed. Human beings have a brain that is too complex to decipher and a heart that can be wicked but a face that's angelic to lie and cover. 
 
Reminder to self: work is only a small part of life, dun sweat over the smallest things, you have better things to do than to fall into the corporate trap that many others have set specially for you. Good Day myself. Defense up. "Friends"? No thanks.
