rediscovering eden
But I wrote them for you
And anywhere I would be with you
No matter where, but for now we're here
So let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

I'm very tired, and so so cold. My legs feel numbed even after all the walking I did today.
Looking at art can be therapeutic. I never realized that before.
Today I found two new wonderful artists online at deviantart.com while surfing at work.
One was a photographer, the other was - hmm this is hard to describe. Her work was registered under the manga/anime category, so yeah, that kind of artist.
It was so beautiful and took my mind off the pain for a little while.
I felt normal at the end of it.
I was especially amazed by some of the photographer's work; pictures of HongKong she took.
The other artist had beautiful intricate line work. I love the lines of a drawing more than the colours when it comes to manga/anime art.
So many of these kind of artists have beautiful colouring and photoshopping and whatnot effects but the drawing itself is nothing special.
I wish I could show some of their works here but that would be ripping or redistributing and they're very particular on that.
They made a very bright spot in a day that peaks the horrible past one and a half weeks.
That and another comforting present the day brought me.
I've been fired!!!!
YAY
No no don't get the idea that work was awful, it was a very nice workplace and Monica is the best work mate anyone could ask for. I will miss her A LOT.
And I may hopefully be re-employed there as some sort of odd-job intermittent temp.
This is a little doubtful because they're chockful of temps at the moment, and odd jobs can therefore just be passed around, but I'm holding out for that. I really want that kind of intermittent job at the moment, and I'm not too cash hungry--- yet.
I'm just so happy that I can sleep in once more!
All you night owls don't know what that means to me.
I've been running on spare batteries for the past two weeks and I've been like zombie pushing herself through the day and falling asleep every spare moment.
Monica and I ate at the Soup Spoon today and I'm glad we did. Had a great time.
We also asked for the number of the trishaw man so he can take us to Orchard one day =))
He's called Henry!
And for now till the next job or whatever comes around, I've got nearly two years of catching up to do.
I can't wait!!!

My knees are very creaky. It's like the sound of twigs snapping when I walk around the office, and the sound is magnified by the silence of the place so the whole world can hear. I'm so embarrassing I can't stand myself.
I have progressed to uploading law journals and annual reviews. It's very nice work because there's internet access and my supervisors are all on other floors, and its a very simple hassle-free job.
Sadly it's going to end soon and I will be unemployed again.
I think I'm looking forward to it.
I have so many unfinished personal projects.
But the lack of cash is going to hurt.
I got the acceptance letter from SMU today.
My mother says I should be jumping for joy.
But seriously, congratulations Wendi!!! I'm really happy for you!
You get to study and do something you can put your whole heart in and that's just great!
But you jolly well better work hard this time okay!
This Saturday we are going to *cross our fingers* register, yah only
register for the driving test.
HAHA!
I still wish I hadn't posed for that silly photograph with her.
That in itself was alright, its just the implications those ridiculous women will draw from it because of their petty spirits that hurts me.
And all the stupid comparisons I am unnecessarily going to draw to myself now.
