So sick and tired of chasing and waiting for people to get work done. You ask for advice, they give you questions. You ask for approval, they give you advice. Bureaucracy is so f-ing stifling. Everything you do, please go check point and get approval. If not, high risk of getting the caustic stab. "You asked for my advice, but yet didn't get clearance before going to next level."

Wanna die.

I spend more than half a day doing work today, on my off-in-lieu day (for labor day) and leave only really started at 3pm. Felt cheated. Then I bathed my dog and fell asleep after that. Had dinner at central mall after finally finding my friend. Had my fitting today too, wasn't too impressed by the dress disappointingly though.

Came across this article recently "When someone says she likes you" where the usual thought process that was analysed. Liked it cos it resonated even though it's common sense. it always feels a little reflective when you read about it, line by line, word by word. I sway from being the rational one to the idealistically-romantic one from time to time. To have no expectations will result in no disappointment. But that's not what life is supposed to be like, to be without expectations. Are there people who live a life without ups and downs? Maybe monastic sages do, with only slight ripples. But I am no monk or nun...
