My CUBE.
I sometimes hate working. Even when I am probably one of the few person, who has the easiest time in the entire corporate.
I don’t like work, because it sometimes make me feel incompetent.
I hate it when all I want to do is to stay home, stay in bed or even just to watch TV/DVD/Dramas.
But I can’t! (though I can, but the guilt makes it difficult for me to sit still. Unless I am out of Yuncheng.)
I also hate it when I sit at desk and think of all the other places I could have been. Other than at work or in Yuncheng.
I think I would very much rather be in Singapore, going out for lunch with Mom and then a little of shopping in the day.
Then again, I know that it isn’t possible for me to be away from Yuncheng…all the time.
Which deficits the purpose of me moving to China.
So here I am, trying to convince myself about the benefit of working while living in Yuncheng.
And I hate to admit, that sometimes it is the best place to be, in Yuncheng other than staying in.
When I wasn’t working, I used to stay in at home, to surf the net ALL DAY!
And now that I am at work, I too surf the net all day and I get paid.
Beside passing time, work gives me reasons/excuses to:
- Dress up. Semi-professional look. I was in so much casual wear for the last summer.
- Comb my hair and do make up. To complete the look or at least look more competent.
- Bring one of my many bags and wear one of my many shoes for work!!!
- Dressing up makes life interesting!!!
Even when I am just surfing the net at a place that is 5-min walk away from HOME!
And I don’t see the point in dressing up when I am going to be home, surfing the net all day.
They all boil down to just one Excuse, Shopping.
Which is pathetic, cause its seems that its the only FUN, I have these days.
I can’t imagine not having the need to shop… which keeps me sane in this laidback city.
( I was ‘crushed’, when Dp told me that he will need to wear uniform everyday, i.e no more shopping for summer.)
Other than the above not-so-clever reasons, I should not hate work because,
- I get to know more people and know more about the company.
- I feel good when I am seen leaving work later than most of my colleagues (as lunch/dinner isn’t ready yet.)
- I need not worry about being late for work.Which I am most of the time.
- I do not have much responsibilties, and it allows me to take-off + unlimited leaves.
- It made receiving salary in cold hard cash, feels like a tiny windfall.
Contrary to my many complaints, I do have work to do!
On a few rare occassions, I feel the excitement of having to complete my work in short period of time. It was challenging, though it’s was nothing too important or intelligent.
A close up of my cube, and you see that that is ‘work’ on my desk.

I bring my own laptop to work for surfing the net.
And Oh! This is also the place, I do most of the postings on this site.
Note to myself: I should not hate work. I should <3 WORK!
