The Pain in Working Class Newbie



Oh man, when was the last time from my last post?



2009 is going to end soon, and I have something like this posted here in my blog:





*********** 2009 (2) **************



Do I really want this? I don't know.

I can only blame this on WORK!

As a newbie in working world ain't easy as ABC.

Probably it's myself who couldn't accept the fact that I am no longer a student. Ouch!

Or maybe it's because I can't ponteng work like I used to ponteng class and asked someone to sign for me.

Perhaps I am back to grade 1 again. Everything I do now is all new to me!

A newbie who wants to climb up high, yet to learn and strive and perform, at the same time have to be careful on those unspoken office laws and regulations. This is damn hard weiii~

Life's tough.

Dear dad, I agree with you, money ain't easy to earn. >.<

Let me tell you my emotion pattern thru out a week.



MON: Oh man, this week is still long long to go. Damn, Monday's blue!

TUE: Okay, no much difference than Monday. Tuesday sounds like a foul word in cantonese weiii~

WED: Middle of the week, still 2 days to go. Kill me.

THUR: Near the end of the week. So what? No need to work meh?

FRI: Hate morning. Like evening. Love night time. (She wolf by Shakira is playing!)

SAT: Lalala~ It's a S.A.T.-ur-Day! Superb.All.Time! Not SADDEST DAY!

SUN: The day with lowest aura. Start to mourn for Monday and the rest of the week.




Pathetic right?



Sigh. I'm gonna make some plans. To colour up my dull boring working days.



Some next steps (Gosh, I am using WORKabulary!):


  1. Sign up for gym! (Since it's paid by the company, why not?)

  2. Take up guitar class (My long lost hobby)


  3. Join some crazy and stupid flash mob stunts

  4. Redesign my room (need professional help from my sis, she has ownership of the room too mer)


  5. Partaaaay! (Music: Akon - Sexy bitch)


  6. Read more books


  7. Buy some sexy gadget, life's short, why save?


  8. Meet more people!


  9. Do some ohh la la things that I always wanted to do


  10. Blog more. FB more.



Okie, will review this action plan (another WORKabulary!) one month later.

See how much I have done. *Wink and with my fingers crossed*

Wagashi 和菓子

Few years ago, I received an email with some beautiful dessert pictures attached.
That's how I started to fall in love with wagashi 和菓子.
I even set those pictures as my desktop wallpaper. Hehe.

I compiled all the pictures attached with the email into 2 master pictures.

The whole piece of wagashi.

Cut open wagashi.

From Wikipedia:
Wagashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served with tea (very bitter tea), especially the types made of mochi, azuki bean paste, and fruits.

From another website:
Wagashi are traditional Japanese confections that evolved into an art form in the ancient Imperial capital, Kyoto. The character pronounced 'wa' denotes things Japanese, while the characters for 'gashi', an alliteration of kashi, have come to mean confections.

My own words:
Wagashi is those wickedly yet sinfully traditional Japanese dessert, which is crafted so beautifully that you can't even allow yourself to put it into your mouth. Oh yeah, it's extremely sweet!

The first picture you will get when you google 'wagashi'.

Wagashi named dango. Basically it's a small, sticky sweet mochi, commonly skewered on a stick.

Assorted types of wagashi. It breaks your heart when you chew them in your mouth.

Cute wagashi for kids.

Yeah. They are wagashi too. Not those gummy bear your found in your hypermarket.



Me personally have tried a wagashi before.

The outer packaging~

And tada~ a cute little chicky wagashi!
One word to describe the taste after trying it -----> SWEET!!!!!

Seriously, it is sweet enough to make me headache!
I couldn't finish even that 1 piece.
So I shared that wagashi with mr. tong sampah. T.T


Wokay, more nice wagashi pictures...

Colourful wagashi. Awww~

Looks like small little pumpkins.

Wagashi for their 女儿节. Direct translation --> Daughter's Day. Lol.

Konyaku wagashi
Wagashi which are not edible. Why? This one is rubber larrr.
