Clouds Can be A Blessing
Life's unpredictable. It can be a pain. But one always has got to look for the silver lining in life.
I lost a LOT of money due to this sub-prime nonsense.
Silver Lining: I'm not the only one. But I am one of the few who lost relatively peanuts. And its not my life savings nor my income that's gone. But it still hurts cos I could have gotten that damn nice Specialized bike with whatever parts I wanted with cash to spare for servicing.
I contracted Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease this week.
Silver Lining: LOL. The 40.3C high fever was a bitch, the painful and itchy sores on my face are not funny BUT its gone now. And I am enjoying the week off on MC. Though I'm a little bored. Finished Fable 2, going to pre-order Gears of war 2. Plus when I get back, i would have only 8 weeks of NS nonsense to endure.
Tuition's over. I'm broke.
Silver lining: I have total freedom at nights. I can relax and sleep earlier. So much so that I can wake up earlier to cycle to work. But the downside is rather serious though. I have to watch my moolah consumption. And I hate that cos I love to spend on whatever I want. I love my disposable income. I stopped wondering a long time ago why my savings are so pathetic. But at least I live life, eh. Still can earn some more cash..
So you see, coming from someone who just contracted a disease fresh off the playground, (my niece had the HFMD and passed it to me) there's a silver lining everywhere. You just have to look.
Oh, and now that I have only 8 weeks till ORD, I am scared shitless of what life ahead holds. Uni life. Have all my brains been sucked dry by the stupidity of CD?
I'm afraid that after rising so easily to the top of the food chain in my dept, not very much attributed to my skills, but more so to me being relatively much better than the competition (Not looking so much at their paper qualifications, which don't say much in the first place, but more to their lousy work ethic which makes even a lazy bugger like me look good), I'm afraid that uni may be a culture shock where things don't come automatically. I guess we all have to go through the same trials. Unless you're a girl, then you don't get a 2 year break from studying, and you get less pay in the future. Lol.
Silver lining's everywhere. :)
