Have I ever mentioned how difficult it is being a twenty-something?
Well, it is... it difficulty escalates when you start your working life.
I mean, I've been working for the past 3 years and still, it doesn't seem to be getting better. It's getting worse. What makes it worse is that I'm being exploited (grrr...) and I can't do anything about it....

Ugh... Life was much simpler when we were kids. The responsibilities and commitments just seem unbearable sometimes. Seriously, it never crossed my mind that I'd have to be paying for my insurance coverage, petrol, toll charges, tithe, housing loan, mobile phone bills, monthly allowance for my parents, living expenses, pak-toh expenses, reno savings, furniture savings, credit card bills, baju allowances... *sigh* Levels of commitment increase as we grow older by the year, cost of living rise by the day, stress levels spiral up by the minute! Must we REALLY grow up?

But in spite of all these issues that we face each new day, I must say it is sometimes exciting to wait in anticipation and see what WILL happen every day.

TODAY, I received a call for an interview which I will be attending this Friday at 1pm. I seriously hope I get it cos if I do get the job, I'd get a salary increase of 36% *nyek*nyek* The perks are great and the benefits are greater! But I won't be working there... cos if I do, I'll have to work till 8-9pm on average (I get to go home at 6pm sharp now).

But here's my devious plan:

Oh... dun b silly, girl! Thr r many things to look forward to in life too! ;) I guess these times when decision making is necessary only makes life a lil more adventurous. It'd require u to take a moment to re-think abt whr we r and what we wanna do again when a opportunity to make a choice arises. I guess I'm just venting out my frustration now but at d end of it, I'm sure I'll make the right choice! And if I don't, I'm sure God would open other doors for me and I'll be fine anyway... ;)
