I’d think that 95% of my blog archives will compose of angst, angst and angst. Did I mention angst? I mean, I have angsty moments against life, work, friends, families and whatever else you can think of. I mean, I’d start another angsty rant again now but I’m so full of pent-up angst that I wouldn’t know where to start and finish. My angst-o-meter is bursting that I’m so scared to start!

So instead, I’m going to quickly skim over things that make up my life/day right now. Work is going okay, I don’t think I’m performing at 100% yet but I hope to be by the end of February. Also got told off by my supervisor that my slippers aren’t “professional”, looking to buy a more professional-looking slippers, checking out Gisele Bundchen’s Ipanema range currently. Can’t buy shoes right now because it technically is still Chinese New Years, and the Chinese have this superstition where we do not buy shoes during the 15 days of Chinese New Years.

Got free tickets to a concert in town tomorrow. Unplanned trip but I definitely am going with my friend. I had one more extra spare ticket but the friend which I am giving it to is seriously fucking me off. But I already told her the ticket is hers, so I can’t do anything about it. Oh well.

I’ve also set out a few goals for myself this year. Make at least one new friend this year, perform exceedingly well at my current job so that when I leave, they’d be crying a river and missing me a whole heap, and also to get at least a B average this year at university.

Well, sorry for the long break from the last post but I’m slowly deciding what I want to do with myself and all that mushy stuff. =3

First day, done.

Today was my first day being an Administrative Assistant. Though the work didn’t kill me, waking up at 7AM probably did. Then again, work didn’t kill me today was because I’m new. A colleague of mine said that within 2-3 weeks, you’ll be crushed under a big pile of work and there’s no way out. Muahaha…er…

I had this huge plan for a tiny website to be completed before I started my new job. Well, I have a small little domain hosting all my other schnitzels but no front page. How useless is that? So I was really inspired by the Digital Business Card WP Theme and Tim Van Damme‘s layout. Except, I ran out of time. I really wanted it all done by today but I couldn’t even get pass getting the images right. Argh.

It’s only 11:30PM and I have to crawl into my bed right now before I look like an emo tomorrow morning with my natural black eyes and tired face.

Adios for now…Zzz…zzz…

Just checking in.

I’ve been thinking about giving Teacup a new look. I’ve had this theme ever since I got hosted by Modi which was uhm…a few months ago. I’ve been lacking inspiration, until now. Check out Cyanide, a design site. I’m a big fan of one column designs but I’m very bad with making the navigation work with one column, as you can see with my current theme. However, Cyanide really makes the whole navigation thing look easy with one column designs. We’ll see what I come up with. Hopefully it won’t take six months.

Next, my upcoming administrative role. My first ever office job. I’m so worried I’m going to make an ass of myself. I’ve got the clothings and shoes for it. I want this job so bad, I got it, now I just got to make sure I don’t bung it up. Seriously. I’ve cut down on cursing quite a bit. I’m trying to change my attitude, slightly. I really want to make sure that they are not dissapointed for hiring me. So nervous…

I hope this image gave you a bit of a laugh as it did for me.

Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and have a happy New Year. ?

Edit: I GOT THE JOB!!! YEAH, BABY!! W00t! Oh yeah, check out the banner at the bottom of the page. WHOO!! I’ll be back when this high is over. YEAH!!!

Whoa, nearly forgotten about Teacup. I think…I partly blame Modi for introducing me to Plants vs Zombies. After finally beating the last stage of Chronotron (may I say, that last stage took me a few hours…), I got on to Plants vs Zombies.

So, what can I say, PvZ is a stroke of genius! I love that game! Took me just over a week to finally beat adventure mode and unlock the goodies within! Err, I’d like to note that I did not cheat at all to beat the game. I did that only after I finished about 75% of the game (that includes adventure mode). Got a bit frustrated with the Gargantuans destroying my beautiful marigolds…I’m going to shut up now about PvZ before I continue ranting and raving like a psychotic madwoman about the genius game that is PvZ.

The other reason I’ve gone a bit missing is because I went for an interview for my dream job. That was on Friday. My friend recommended me for the position, I got called, interviewed and now I’m just impatiently waiting for their response. I’m so nervous about this job that for the two days before the interview, I hardly ate anything because nothing could stay down. I just felt like throwing up everytime I thought of the interview.

The interview wasn’t too bad in my opinion because it was more like a casual conversation than a “Describe why…” and “Do you think…” situation. So I told my nervous-freaking-out side to shut the fuck up, piss off and come back when the interview is over. Guess what? Right after the interview, I started freaking out that I might have said the wrong things and the list goes on. It’s now Tuesday night and I’m still feeling like I want to throw up. I’ve never been like this about a job but…OHMAIGAWDPLZCALLME.
