Affected

So everyone should know by now that Euro is dropping and at a new low rate.
i am happy i can exchange some and keep for future use (well, i'm pretty sure i will go Europe at least once in my lifetime. So it will come handy.)
i am unhappy because many businesses are badly affected and when this happened, the first thing to cut is usually Marketing Budget. So my sales get affected in a bad way.

And recently the relationship between North Korea and South Korea is tensed.
So this is gonna have certain effect on Asia economy.
Besides all the fab cosmetic & skincare products, prices of home electronic products will be affected due to changes in Won rate.
Most importantly, we may have a bear-ish stock market and businesses will be more prudent in media spending. Again, my sales will be affected.
so i will be unhappy if the outlook worsen between these 2 countries.

It's also no news what is happening in Thailand now.
Although the situation seems to be better but it's still risky to travel there. in my context.
i am happy when i see the low fare on various airlines for flights to Bangkok.
But i am unsure when it will be safe for me to step foot at that supposed-to-be-land-of-smile-turned-bloody-land.
so i am unhappy because i can't make use of the cheap fare to travel there.

All these situations are happening outside of my little world, my cozy home.
Yet the effect on my life is considerable.
And to make things worse, all these are beyond my control.
well... read the news then.

Simple Happiness

To these abandoned dogs who found shelter at Animal Lovers League, happiness can be just this simple.

Enjoying cool ice cubes in the hot afternoon!
Sometimes, it's the little things in life that increase our happiness level but very often we take these for granted and forgot to appreciate it.

So, slow down your pace and appreciate life!
If u're feeling that your life is a piece of shit, look at these poor chaps who has no control of their life.

Are we going Gai Gai?

Evey weekend whenever he saw me changing, to.to will follow me around the house and look at me earnestly as if asking whether i am bringing him out.
Many a time, i will disappoint him.
As i close the door and look back at his droopy eye, i always feel a tinge of guilt.
Sorry next time ok!

Another Plane Crashed

Plane crashes in south India, 159 dead
i always feel perturbing, whenever i saw news of plane crashed.
probably because i have someone important serving in the aviation industry.
Very often, such tragic are beyond the control for majority of those onboard, except the pilot.
And when the unfortunate happened, very slim chance of survivor which makes it even more so scary!

overwhelmed

After working for years, first time i worked full 8 hours completely.
Well, of coz minus out 1hr lunch & the occasional toilet breaks
And i meant really putting my mind & effort to work only.
No time for personal internet surfing.
Sometimes don't even have time to reply msn or sms.
And this has been going on for weeks!

Why so busy?
i don't know.

Will this carry on forever so long as i'm on this job?
i don't know.

But i do feel a sense of job satisfaction.
Even if i have to put up with the occasional menses-cramp-like-clients!
