• Work is mundane as usual. Nothing that evokes my sense in its entirety. Sad is it not? That days of my existence is while away, seemingly futile and haplessly caught in this thinning fabric of humanity.

  Godzilla is watching her DVDs, again. Yes, I emphasize, AGAIN. When the new CIO came in to our department to check out his new 'Empire', she deftly stopped her DVD. Once out, I hear korean voices screaming and shouting out from her PC. The usual sobbing and melodramatic ingredient that all so many humans enjoy lapping up.

  I been wondering for the longest of time, why am I such an odd ball. I still find it extremely excruciating to comprehend what people think and do. The so Singaporean mindset. Everything also can, kind of attitude. Quality last, first must cheap cheap. Life's meaning is about $$. Forget about its purpose. Am feeling kind of upset that I most probably will fair badly for my Marketing Exams.  I expected to do well and get another 'A'. Now this darn Marketing has 'tarnished' my record of lovely 'A's. I seriously do not get Marketing. It is merely a study on how to prey on the hapless consumer to buy more and spend more. Promoting an existence based on nothing but just materialism and monstrous consumption. Whereby nothing is ever ENOUGH.

  I cannot imagine that I've got to go through the Marketing module again in my Advanced Diploma. Thinking about it makes me absolutely sick. I wonder if I could finish up with this course of studies and move into Literature and Sociology. Yet looking at Andrew, who graduated in Sociology and Philosophy, having the hardest time to find a job to fit his course of interest (other than being a lecturer, which he isn't exactly keen about). Seems to further dampen my hopes in pursuing a career in this field, locally. I am not enticed by the idea to lecture locally as the education system is miserably stiff. How could the education system harvest and nuture talent and independent minds when it is constantly looking in to ways to stifle the inquisitive minds of people!

  Oh yes, I know. How I go again. Ranting.
