Sucky Monday Blues

In the current economic situation, it would seems that everyone who still have a job would be striving to keep their jobs safe so that they will not join the crowd of unemployed now.

The symptom of Monday Blues can also become a threat to one's rice bowl.

I have exactly tat symptom today and there is nothing I can do to bring my mood up.

Woke up with a heavy feeling and a strong urge to take urgent leave and not go to work. But I had to drag my feet to work coz there is work to clear and my boss is returning from her leave tomorrow, which means need to prepare things to go through with her once she is back.

In addition to the sickening feeling of Monday Blues, I had to see the ugly sights of some Singaporeans early in the morning.

Morning peak hour train crowd. An office lady ("OL") squeezed in the train pushing everyone near her in by force. I took 2 steps back to stand near the railing bar while playing on my PSP (I was not outstretching my arms while playing PSP so am sure i din obstruct other pple by playing my game). After the lady in front of me alighted, the OL came to stand in front of me. My bag, which was held in front of me, was unfortunately pushing into the OL's back making her turn back and shoot stares towards my direction a few times. She then reached to hold on to the bar thus making my small personal standing space even smaller.

It was after the OL moved beside me tat she realised my bag was not purposely made to push against her but becoz another guy who was behind me had his bag pushed against mine. Then she directed her dirty stares at the guy and his frens instead (scary...). Though she moved on to stand on my left and away from the bar...she still insisted on holding on to the bar thus making her arm smack right in front of my chest where I was holding my PSP and still trying to play.

What I couldnt stand regarding this whole episode is - yah we all know peak hour train crowd is annoying but aint we used to it already?! Why keep shooting dirty stares at pple?? Nobody molested her ma.

Getting into the lift at our office building is quite the challenge as sensors for all 4 lifts seems to either faulty or working at a much slower pace than expected. Instead of the usual detecting the hand or leg that is outstretched to make the lift doors "bounce"/stay open method...the only way to make our lift doors "bounce"/stay open is to put our whole body smack right in the middle of the lift doors in order for it to detect something.

So today just as many other days, I had to use my body to make the lift door open by letting it knock against my arm and rebounce open. In fact, often its coz the pple who went in the lift first did not bother to hold the lift by just pressing the door open button. Those selfish dim-wits.

This morning, it was different. I was among the first few persons to enter the lift so I wasnt too piss by the fact that my arm was used as the human buffer to open the lift door. As I had to move right into the lift to make space for more pple to enter, I was naturally not standing where the lift buttons are.

What pissed me off was tat, the pple standing right in front of the lift buttons were such selfish dim-wits tat they couldnt lift their precious little fingers to press the buttons when others are alighting at their levels. Hello!!! Basic courtesy??? Its really a shame to Singaporeans lor.


Monday Blues coupled with encountering these dim-wits just started my day on a wrong note. Then I realised I ate too much since morning and it could well affect my diet plan:

7 am plus - 2 pieces of Kaya Cake
8 am plus - 1 piece of Carrot Cake
9 am plus - 1 Chicken Big Bun
11 am plus - Glutinous Chicken Rice
12 pm plus - Ya Kun Set A (includes 2 slices of kaya toasts, 2 half boiled eggs and 1 hot milo)

I definitely eat more when I am upset....sad....
