It's a reoccurrence. Just keeps bugging people who are lost in the job market, retrenched, or part-timing.

Like me.

I part-time.

Never did like a 9-5 desk job. Somehow the filing and eye-searing Microsoft Office errands don't click.

So, I decided to do what I've never done before.

I decided to go out there and meet the people for who they are, find out what makes them tick. if I want to make great music, if I want to explore other ways of conveying art, what better place to do it then at a workplace?

Yeah, so I thought to myself...why not work at a fast food outlet?

Then, without consciously realising it, I stepped randomly into this Yoshinoya joint in Bishan and asked the cashier quite blankly, "Is your job nice?"...I was quite taken aback as did the experienced-looking cashier...when I said that. She simply put, "It depends."

So, after some admin, I hopped onto the fast food bandwagon and tripped off into the sunset...or so it seemed. Coz now I've become part of something big! And yet I felt really insignificant.

It's been 2 months since that day I stepped into the store, fresh like the morning newspaper - never knowing where you might end up...and I still feel the ripples of that day...haunting me...

Why? It's a seriously harsh environment. Maybe I can liken it to the media industry. Only that in the media, when you face the chopping block, you won't really know it till it hits you. Maybe I joined Yoshi for the pressure..learning to cope with it, press for deadlines, build up my self-esteem, confidence, leadership skills, multi-tasking, empathy for others, etc...

Seems like a "low" place for a guy like me to get involved with but hey..it's a job!

You might still spot me...giving out promo mailers at the MRT or the bus interchange...bantering about hoe good the product is (or rather what the manager tells me is good to the company)...sometimes I'll hum it, sing it...(yea I do that, just to keep the smile there; if I'm saying "Grilled Unagi! Regular Bowl for $5.95! Healthy and Delicious!" I might be thinking, "Just a few more people! Just a few more people!! I'm so thirsty I wanna pass.." or "Stop staring!" or "Maybe the pitch is not right...*ahem!*"

Gosh...so many words already? Looks like I can write again! =D Hurrah!

Alright, time for a game of online golf on Pangya USA (Ntreev) before I catch my movie...

I don't usually blog coz it's the last thing I want to do at the beginning, middle and end of the day, or week or month for that matter.

I don't get to surf like everyone else; outside's the only option now.

When I do surf, I'll go gaming, I'd write in forums, submit new songs and videos, play my favourite videos and songs, look up on things I've missed and expect in future, look for places to go visit (if I could go there).

What I do at home is a repeated cycle of cable TV, cook, wash dishes, turn on the PC, play RaidenX (Crazy Monkey Games) or an emulated Sengoku 3 and Pokemon Ruby (hoho...Pokemon...I'm not a fan or anything, just something I can repeat over and over), maybe record a few voice-overs, fiddle with my Fruity Loops Studio 8 Demo, work on assignments and projects, go for a jog, play basketball...

It's coming to the end of another term at LASALLE, and a year. The two thousandth and eigth year since Jesus came to Earth as an infant. A.D. - Anno Domini - they call it.

i'd look for work, whether it's theatre, fixing a PC game update for a friend, more short films, designing a logo for a musician friend's company, or something about in my mundane cycle of life. But I think God keeps me going and new things happen everyday when I least expect it. That's one thing I can be thankful for, I think.

Comments? Dunno...post anything you like. I'm somewhat carefree. I'm not really a messenger user.
