Anyway, today was my first day at work and I am all ready to throw in the towel. I don't like making phone calls and yet I have to make 800 of them in just this batch alone. I have another 2 batches to go. What made it worse was the big hoo ha that occurred in the office due to some phone line and you know being my first time meeting my superior, I would have loved to have a good first impression of her. Unfortunately, it was a terrible first impression because all she did was to behave like a bitch! I mean being frigging unreasonable never mind but to scream at the top of her voice when we are suppose to be talking to clients, was totally uncalled for. Imagine, I was trying to grapple with the new job, trying to get work done and there she was making a nuisensce of herself. Never mind if it was only in the morning, the entire day she was just making such big fusses over things that she didn't need to. ARGHS! I WANT TO QUIT.

Trust me, you will never understand how we (ciA*, jacob and me) feel unless you meet her.

During lunch, we walked to Macs thinking that it will be all quiet because there wasn't really anybody then came the nightmare. A group of kindergarden children came up. Imagine the racket that they were creating. I mean I am fine with children and definitely with them running around but not when I had a bad morning already. But well they did brighten up my day a little because of their bubbliness. If you had heard the conversations that were going on, you would have a smile on your face as well. =)

So after work, my parents picked me up and we went for dinner. Bought two new books by Jason Hann the guy who writes for 8 days. Local writers. Should start reading more publications by them. Read this really nice story in an e-mail that En sent. Shall post it here. It's entitled Daniel and Jasmine in 30 Days.

Message: can any message be more touching than this

Daniel: I guess we are the only left overs in this world

Jasmine: I think so...All my friends have boyfriends & we are the only 2 persons left in this world without the special someone in our lives.

Daniel: Yup! I don't know what to do.

Jasmine: I know! We can play a game.

Daniel: What game?

Jasmine: I'll be your girlfriend for 30 days and you can be my boyfriend.

Daniel: That's a great plan. In fact, I don't have anything planned for the next few weeks.

Day 1:
They watched their first movie together & were both touched in the romantic film.

Day 4:
They went to the beach & had a picnic... Daniel and Jasmine had their quality time together.

Day 12:
Daniel invited Jasmine to the circus and went to the Horror House. Jasmine was scared and she tried to touch Daniel's hand but by accident she touched someone else's and they both laughed

Day 14:
They saw a fortune teller down the road and asked for their future. "My darlings please don't waste the time of your lives...spend your time happily" Then tears flow from the fortune teller's eyes

Day 20:
Jasmine invited Daniel to go to the hill and saw a meteor... Jasmine mumbled something.

Day 28:
They rode on a bus and because of the bumpy road, Jasmine gave her first kiss to Daniel by accident

Day 29:
11.37pm - Daniel and Jasmine were both sitting in the park where they first decided to play the game.

Daniel: I'm tired Jasmine...Do you want any drinks? I'll buy you one...I'll just go down the road.

Jasmine: Apple juice would be fine. Thanks.

Daniel: Wait for me

20 mins later a stranger approached Jasmine

Stranger: Are you a friend of Daniel?

Jasmine: Yes, why? What happened?

Stranger: A reckless driver ran over Daniel and is now in critical condition in hospital.

11.57pm - The doctor came out of the emergency room and handed Jasmine the Apple Juice & a letter.

Doctor: We found this in Daniel's pocket.

Jasmine read the letter:
Jasmine, these past few days I realised you are a really cute girl and I am falling in love with you.. your cherished smile, your everything when we played this game...before this game ends, I want to you to be my girlfriend for the rest of my life. I love you, Jasmine.

Jasmine crumples the paper and shouted:

"Daniel! I don't want you to die...I love you... Remember that night we saw a meteor? I mumbled something...I wished that we would be together forever and never end this game.Please don't leave me Daniel, I love you. You can't do this to me."

Then the clock striked 12.

Daniel's heart stopped pumping.

Then it was the 30th day...

We just gotta learn to cherish the people around us. If we want to tell them how we really feel, we should do it and not worry about the consequences. If we don't seize the opportunity, when will we ever do that? Remember that phrase, Carpe Diem. Seize the Day. Don't hesitate any further.
