Locum stock market

Today's experience with The Locum.

Our first encounter was when I picked up his call, telling him where to park his car.
That went okay.

He was smiley, and introduced himself, dressed real nicely. Young, fit, good looking... (ahem)
That went okay. I think I can work with him :)

All was good until he asked me which pharmacy school I was from.

Me: "I went to Nottingham." feeling real proud to say.
Him: "Ahh... I see"

short pause while we complete what we were doing.

Him:"Is that a new pharmacy school?"

IS THAT A NEW PHARMACY SCHOOL? You ignorant piece of LSOP brat.
Nottingham, The Land of Boots is THE TOP PHARMACY SCHOOL IN UK. And mind you, this dude is young, he was only Year 3 when I was in Year 1. He should know. His stock market just plunged deeper than Pamela Anderson's cleavages.

And no matter how he joked, and did 7 MURS within 3hours of work...
I could no longer be impressed. Most obnoxious one yet.

Routines

The dust from my student identity to a working professional has almost settled.

How did I know?
Because I'm waking up at the same time everyday, regardless of the hours I have slept.
Because I'm feeling hungry at my regular breakfast, lunch, and dinner time.
Because I'm doing the same routines over and over again everyday.

Dear Ling, welcome to the world of a working citizen *confetti landing on me*

The monthly pay in to my bank account is probably the only thing that keeps me doing what I do now, with the added promise of a bigger paycheck next summer if I do well. Don't get me wrong, work is going well, very well in fact.

But what is there to do other than work???
So now do I just wake up, turn up for work everyday, and then wait to get paid???
This can't be all there is to life after uni??? Or can it???

IT'S BORING...!!!
I find myself more voracious for new projects, challenges, or even... evil schemes now. Anything to make life exciting again.

A ridiculous bubble of idea popped on me on the bus the other day.

PROJECT ZH'NG MY SELF

Since I'm on hiatus from the dating scene and pretty much away from most of my friends now. Plus there's no one out there which I'm trying to impress right now. It's perfect for some me time. I'm (still) young, and single... why not just spend what's left of my hiatus year with personal grooming?

I'm thinking, a new hair colour, hair style, false lashes, coloured contacts if I can manage, new bimbo wardrobe. And if that all works out I might as well throw in a couple of Wonderbras, LOL.

What's my point, you ask?
My answer is, there's no point! As the years fly by, everything we do has some sort of purpose attached to it, and that's why everything else seems less fun than it was when we were 5 years old. And just maybe, I am just wanting a last bout of fun. Doing something useless (and harmless) for the heck of it. Just because. No buts, no consequences.

I will do it, mind you. When I feel convinced enough that life's not going anywhere, and that I WILL be able to snap out of it when the time comes. Just seems like zh'ng-ing is not something girls these days will be able to stop doing in a snap.

一直很安静

歌曲:一直很安静 歌手:阿桑 
专辑:寂寞在唱歌   作词:方文山 作曲:如花如岳  编曲:屠颖



空荡的街景想找个人放感情 
做这种决定是寂寞与我为邻  

我们的爱情像你路过的风景 
一直在进行脚步却从来不会为我而停  

给你的爱一直很安静 
来交换你偶尔给的关心
明明是三个人的电影 
我却始终不能有姓名  

你说爱像云要自在飘浮才美丽 
我终於相信分手的理由时候很动听  

给你的爱一直很安静 
来交换你偶尔给的关心 
明明是三个人的电影 
我却始终不能有姓名  

给你的爱一直很安静 
我从一开始就下定决心 
以为自己要的是曾经 
却发现爱一定要有回音  

我们的爱情像你路过的风景 
一直在进行脚步却从来不会为我而停  

给你的爱一直很安静 
来交换你偶尔给
的关心 
明明是三个人的电影 
我却始终不能有姓名  

给你的爱一直很安静 
除了泪在我的脸上任性 
原来缘份是用来说明 
你突然不爱我这件事情
