Le Bonheur Est à Ceux Qui Savent Rire

Handbags and Gladrags
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style
But once you think you're in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest is you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you

Ever tried making yourself feel upset by tuning in to melancholic songs before you go to sleep? That's what I did yesterday night. Maybe I had too much of a good time this week heh. While listening to those tunes, I realised I am a much happier person now compared to last year. The ghost of self-doubt has mostly vanished. I have relinquished negativity and welcomed optimism. Think the effect of Excuse me, your life is now is becoming more and more evident.
"You are not your current circumstance, but the creator of it." Instead of dwelling on the downside of things, we can simply choose to change the experience. Shifting your attention from being the circumstance to being the person experiencing a circumstance will enable you to generate positive feelings and attract more of what you want! Maybe this will sound preposterous and absurd to you. Just try getting yourself out of your rut and focus creating something u want! Hmmm something worthwhile to ponder on.
Anyway, as a creator (haha), I quitted my job at TTSH and will start work as a receptionist at hui qi's law firm tmr! I think I'm quite a job hopper ): But then, my reason for quitting the TTSH job is quite valid. The jobscope my agent described to me does not tally with what we did at TTSH! So out of 9 temps hired, 7 eventually quit. It's amazing. On the very first day, one person reported sick and went home early. Second day, 2 or 3 persons did not come cuz they were ill. On the third day, about 6 of us (including me) resigned. WITW! I felt quite bad for abandoning geraldine when she needed help, but I lost my voice on the 2nd day itself and could not help her out on friday. sigh. I interviewed 80+ ppl on the 2nd day and lost my voice subsequently. Too hiong alr. haha. Other ppl only interviewed 40-50+ ppl lor. haha.
Hui Qi, don't think you'll read this, but good luck working at wl's company!! Wish you didn't have to leave though. Then we can work together hahaha.
