So Johor has been reflooded and our goverment that so vehemently refused foreign aid that we supposedly didn't need now is in desperate need of volunteers. I could pretend to care, but I really don't. Still it must be pretty lame to have your house flooded, clean it up and then have it reflooded.
I've been getting treatment for my sinuses. Nothing exciting just 3 injections one each week. But when I was at the clinic yesterday there was this lady with fucked up looking eyes and I later found out that she was going blind. The reason was that she was short sighted and cold bear the pain and sufering of wearing glasses/contacts, so she went for lasik eye surgery at some unknown cheap ass clinic and now she is going blind and there's nothing anyone can do. The ultimate case of penny wise pound foolish. I mean you save a couple of bucks where you can, we all do, but not when its shit like your health, or surgery. At least it she was going to die and she took a risk by going to a cheap place because that's all she could afford that would make sense, but she was fine, even if she couldn't afford to go to a reputable institution with high end equipment she could have just not gone.
This leads me to my often cited theory that people love fucking their lives up. Somehow the people with massive problems almost always seem to cause it for themselves or actively try to make their situations worse. Classis example is of course poor people who can't afford to support themselves having multiple kids.
Anyway I promised myself I wouldn't preach today. Must fight the urge.
So I've recently come to a decision. I've decided that I hate my job and I don't want to work in the 'civil service' anymore. Its really lame and I've tolerated it as much as I can. So come March I will be off wreaking havoc elsewhere, unless of course if I have grossly overestimated my employability.
Its time for a change in my life, I realised it the day I was ironing my shirt for work and looked at the iron thinking it would be preferable to beat myself half to death with it than spend another day wallowing in the muck with people bearing the mental capacity of 2 year olds.
The decision to actually do something is one I have hesitated to make for awhile. Mostly the usual fear of change I guess.
I'm looking forward to a DotA session this weekend, its nice stress relief. Sadly it looks like this may not come to pass since everyone is busy. Which means it will be back to sitting naked in the apartment playing Grandia 3. |
At 12:28 PM,

At 2:53 PM,
I'm sure you would Kavi, but there's no establishment in town that is willing to pay my sky high prices.
You know what the best part is, I told one of the girls at work about the blind lady at the clinic and the first question out of her mouth was 'Was she Malay?' ahahaha
Oh well, we can all see how that's relevant right.
Add me to yahoo. I've neevr been disconnected from Yahoo even during that whole earthquake/slow net nonsense.
