I am happy, excited, over the prospect of working during the holidays. Miao will have something to say. Like how Im always working or doing something. haha.. I am undeniably a workaholic to SOME extent. Just the thought of lazing around for 2 months can send me into a panic attack. Like gosh, what am I to do with the time.
The typical workaholic definition, as we understand from our trustworthy TV dramas, are the guys who work till late at night IN the office and probably neglecting his girlfriend. Such dramas will go on to propose that this hardworking guy will end up breaking up with his grilfriend and meet the girl of his dreams one midnight at 1am outside a convenience store near his office on the way to buy coffee.
On the other hand, typical workaholic depiction for the other gender generally revolves around a woman, married with ONE kid (no time to have more), who places work above child and family. Who is always on the phone with someone asking her to return to office-- which she will, despite her child running a fever and despite her husband asking her not to go. And the guy is so much victimized. I'm sorry that you married a girl who likes OUTDOOR activities. Yeah, and stop that tears welling into your eyes.
In any case, it is much more acceptable for guys to work work and work. Girls fall for them because they are serious with their life, dependable and as the saying goes: 脚踏实地. Girls blame them for having too little time for the family or in general, for HER, but couldn't bring herself to fault him for trying to bring home more money. Given a married couple, the wife will NEVER bring herself to divorce on these grounds. The BREAK UP-- only to end with a happy story of the guy finding a true love-- only happens when both are single but UNAVAILBLE(SBUs).
BUT the issue comes WHEN the gender roles changes. DIVORCE occurs when the wife works hard because, well, no one asked for you to bring back the money. You are the one choosing to work so hard and neglecting your role of a 成功男人背后的女人. In that case, you ASKED FOR IT. SBUs are NOT an issue at all because, whoever will fall for a girl who can't be at your beck and call?!
Therefore, workaholism in a girl is really undesirable. Married or not, you stand to lose everything and gain nothing. Really, kick the habit.
I am NOT speaking from experience or my friend's or whoever so to speak. Just have this vague recollections of a kind-hearted friend giving me the advise. His neighbour is a single lady who earns alot-- but WHATS THE POINT?! Thats what HE said. I can't summon so much agitation over such issues.
Ha. Either way, as I am now craving to visit Susan in Ningbo or Hongkong, I guess I'm not that much of a workaholic. I just need activities, not work. Oh. and add in the money from working.
Exams tomorrow! Wish me luck=) Gambate!!

With Loads of Smiles
Very quick updates. About how happy my life is.
Lets first start off with having loads of time and self declaring holidays:) other than 2 more ppt and 1 tut, and of course exams, i have nothing else on hand. how nice is that?! so i have been entertaining myself with dramas and simply not blogging.
Dramas. How my faves BOF show ended without excessive dragging and I declare that Lee Min Ho can act. Can also see the significant improvement in the other F3s in the show. I mean, initially I was like. gosh. what is this guy trying to do. Then at the end, I was quite satisfied by their acting. So that has to be quite substantial right. In all, it wasnt draggy, the actors can act and they look good. What else do you ask for?
BioBiz 2009 ended with loads of good comments especially from the participating companies. I sure hope that next year will be smooth sailing as well. The most important thing I believe is that all of us had a good time working with one another. haha.. Full of smiles thinking of them. The 2 mth infant joke really sticks. But right now, I'll have to spend some time finding the next comm and thinking abt what we want to do:) Alot of learning and brainstorming post event. Never realised that there were so many things we could have done.
My great SDU plan is in making. Just thinking about it makes me happy. I really think quite smart eh. haha.. but dont know if it will work out. eheh! lets hope it does!
I have great lab partners who entertained and allowed me to entertain them relentlessly. Tomorrow is the last presentation. haha.. fingers cross that I will not drag them down. haha..goodness. It feels great not having to worry about lab at all:)
I found a clever tuition kid. I know she is clever but she missed the hardwork part in sec 3. so yup. lots to cover for this year!
Meeting my accounting group mates for dabao-ed lunch at the usual benches is really cool. at least I dont have to eat on my own and they are really nice and spontaneous. haha.. Indian Indian, Malay, American, Vietnamese and me. The multi national group.
Went for 2 concerts this semester. Both dances. One free sort part of the pre-NUS-Arts-Festival thing and another one by Wen. can feel the joy radiating from the dancers. Seriously not cut out for it otherwise, it'll be cool to do it.
Met Miao for lunch a number of times (like maybe 4-5 times) and Wen twice.
Went Glad's house for housewarming with Pin. The house looks really cool.
Oh!!! I saw this guy drinking Meiji strawberry milk with a mini straw! not sure why this is funny but it really did make my day!
Caught the AB flirting with the same girl twice. HAHA. Don't know why, its just not nice to interrupt and also its like the see-this-is-what-he-ought-to-be-doing sort of like ah-ha-caught-you feeling. HAHAH
My group mate got stunned by me when I turn up in t-shirt, jeans and flip flops for class. he said that I usually look more formal than this. It took him a while to have that spark of recognition on his face. I guess he is just stunned (by the lok kok me). and I just love seeing that. haha..
A rep from a participating company was surprised that BioBiz was ran by students. She thought that we we working (meaning we are professional) but look REALLY REALLY YOUNG. HAHAHAA.
OOOO.. and I stood at the school busstop waiting for my bro's fren's car to pick me up eh! seeing 95 pass by and 96 pass by. haha.. so happy! lalala.. IM NOT BOARDING:) i literally hopped onto the car. (this was yesterday).
Got to start planning for the holidays! if not i'll just be so bored then. hee. for all the great plans that are about to begin and for all the funny things that are about to happen=D
