Appetizer before the Entree

I'm quite pleased with my new blogskin. It's just simple, purely reflecting what I'm feeling now. Since working I don't ask much, all I want is just simple pleasures in life, such as a weekend off, a date with my boyfriend, a meet up with an old friend. Such things don't come easy after you step into the working world.
Yesterday was the only Saturday that I'll be off for the next few months, except for maybe National Day which happily falls on a Saturday. I wonder we'll get a day-off on the following Monday.

Something about the healthcare system, every day there will be business. Our manager asked us this question, " Do you know what are we fighting against?"
I was thinking, are we fighting against the doctors? ....
His answer was...." We are fighting against DISEASES!"
As long as there are diseases, we can never run out of job.
We almost fell off the chair that very moment.
Our manager is a very interesting man, but that's another story I shall blog about another day.

This very afternoon I just witnessed a ceremony right below our flat. It's like the Chinese version of Deepavali where there will be kawadis, people poking themselves through the mouth or skin with long spears and dancing away. Just that it's all chinese, none Indians. They were so loud that many people actually stepped out of their houses and peered downstairs, which includes me. Champ got up because of it as well, and he was shaking his head saying.."tsk tsk... spiritual warfare man..."
Apparently, he said it seems like it's the 7th month thing, where the gate of hell is opened. There was a whole gang of people, right behind this small parade of "kawadis".
I actually find the whole thing rather interesting, but yet to know that it's all false belief just makes me feel how ignorant these people are.

I miss 404. It has no car park, it's far away from the main road, it's filled with elderlies. But it doesn't really matter, because of all these, it's a very peaceful and quiet neighbourhood. Now that it's gone, I miss the atmosphere. And I guess the noisiest thing around there is 02-160!
