~*RANDOM RATTLES*~

A blog where I randomly pick something to write about...
It's a place I write when I'm bored...
It's here I put in my random thoughts of what I think of other things...
Basically, it's just me rattling...

WHEN LIFE HAVE NO MEANING

When you have no drive anymore, you'll find yourself questioning your existence.
It is sad, don't you think?
I am only 24 and most of the time, I have nothing to live for.
I guess I am just lazy to move forward. 

I admire those who strives so hard to survive although they endured so much hardship.
I feel guilty because I am so blessed, and yet, I find no reason to move on each day.
I used to be passionate about life.
And then, I don't know what happened.
I've lost it.
I do not thirst for it anymore...and I don't know why.
Life to me now, is pretty meaningless and I don't know if I'd find that something to spark me again.

The people around me are just faces.
And people talks about people. I talk about people.
I love the people around me - but sometimes, just tired of the antics; heck, I'm even sick of myself.

All I want so bad is to be passionate about an idea, a job, something that is only purely work - and I do not have to care about anything.
Problem is - that's an idealism - something that won't happen.
We need to deal with people, we need to deal with shitty situations and shitty jobs.
So at the end of the day...that's life. And what do we get?

I shall continue to drift and let things fall into place.
I really hope that I find that fire again, because now, I'm slowly losing steam, and desperate for charcoal to light it up again.

10 more days to a new year - and I desperately hope that it brings with it new beginnings.
2011 hasn't been generally kind to me, to be honest. 

I just hope that 2012 is more gentle, and even if it really means the end of the world.

SMILE

A smile is a funny thing
It hides your sorrow
It cheers up others in a special way

A person who smiles could have a thousand sorrows
That no one knows
But it's okay
Because it brightens up other's day

People hide behind their smiles sometimes
You just don't know it
You take smiles for granted

But it is easier to smile,
But more comfortable to cry
If it's a smile I need to make myself feel better
I would smile more
I just need to feel better
And today,
It was really hard to pull a smile
And I ruined other's day
And I ruined mine

TAKING RISK IS NOT COOL!

Perhaps I am just not good enough.
That's why I will mess up my hair when I face difficulties. 

I have personal issues to overcome - one is to keep my cool when under stress. 
Seriously, I have this problem of not being able to think when things get rough. It is something that I tried learning to overcome, but I just can't.

If all my colleagues can keep their cool when they are stressed out, I think I'm the over-dramatic one who can't do it. It's all in my face.

Sometimes, it is really not the job. 
It's the feeling that you don't know the outcome - whether it is right or wrong.
It is the feeling of uncertainty that drives me nuts. 

I am never a risk taker and putting me in a position of risking others is a huge huge huge stress breaker for me.
Every campaign I run comes with a failure rate.
The 'failure' is what I am worried about. They say, fail to learn...but I am that kinda person who is most worried to fall, because I am those who are so worried about consequences. That's another reason why I can't be in business, besides the fact that I am not driven by money.

Maybe I am not good enough. That's why I have all these craziness in me. 
For now, maybe I am the only person who cries the most in the office and perhaps I'm the craziest.
Sometimes, I wish I could be as cool and level headed as the rest of the girls.
They just somehow knows what to do and how to do it and me? More often than not, clueless without a direction.
Fooling around is just a way to hide insecurities that I myself can't really describe.

Today started rough. 
Lack of sleep and tonnes of things to finish and worry about and not to mention, speculate. It is very difficult to not think the worst out of a situation, due to inexperience. I still feel that I am not good enough for my job....really...I am always clueless and I don't know what to do most of the time. 
Perhaps my position is to allow me to move and progress but I really am having difficulties feeling unworthy of the spot. You know what I mean?
And I just don't know who to tell...

My family doesn't really care much about what I do at work.
Perhaps to them, my job ain't even worth talking about, unlike my sis's profession which is regarded as 'professional'.

At home, no one really cares about my job and so, my passion for what I do can only be shared among colleagues. My venting - also among colleagues.
It is quite tiring sometimes. That's why I Facebook so much hahaha.

When I am sad, I seriously have no one to turn to at home, except perhaps my mum. 

Sometimes, now, it somehow feels that my colleagues and friends are my family. My family are just friends whom I visit every once a while. I can tell you that I am most myself with my friends and they get me even more than perhaps my family members. It could be wrong to say this...but it is true.

That's also the reason why that when I am sad, I find a friend to turn to instead.

I am 24. And I really hope I will grow and mature.
No matter how many times I tell myself that I need to change and be more cool when dealing with s***ty situations, I just can't. 
Tomorrow is a new day and even before it starts, I am already burdened by the client's meeting.

My fingers are crossed and I pray for the best.

AS RANDOM AS IT GETS

It's almost 3AM and I am still awake for a reason.

My 6-hour nap served me well.

So besides contributing to my blog, and playing Tetris, can't think of much non-work related stuff to do.
I have loads of things to start on, but seriously, I do not want my Sunday (well, literally it is Monday) to be work related to be honest.

So below are my Sunday night/Monday morning musings before bed.

Bloggers...
Are no longer what bloggers originally are anymore. I find bloggers overly commercialized nowadays. What started off as a hobby, for those passionate about writing and sharing has now become a somewhat advertorial like platform; another tool for corporation to 'sell'. Nothing wrong with it but sometimes, it is just sad that so many things have become related to 'money'.

We are indirectly fed with information - that we sometimes do not know if it's for real, or just another paid write-up. But looking at it in another way, it is pretty cool to be able to just earn a living by just writing. Besides, you get to attend free events and do plenty cool stuff! 

Sunflower seeds...
 - are the best! I find myself very much addicted to eat because it is the best munching companion when  it comes to watching TV series. Right now, my top TV series are still Criminal Minds, Glee and my latest favourite - Revenge!

People...
Are very complex. Most of the time, I just enjoy their companionship but I do not enjoy having to work together when it is clear that we have nothing in common. Learning to deal with different people and handling the relations is by far the toughest thing to do. Sometimes, I just wish that I could run far far away and not have to deal with anyone, but just to spend time with the only one who shares a special bond with me in terms of understanding. 

All the time, the job is not hard - it's the people that is hard!

Life...
is something I don't understand and might not be able to understand till the day I die. I live everyday to the max but honestly, I still do not get the purpose of it. I just make sure that I am happy and the people around me are also happy, and maybe that's about it. 

Health...
To be honest, I am guilty of not taking care of myself well enough. I wish I could be more discipline but I just am not. I am now having a lot of wind due to stress and I seriously hope that my next problem won't be stomach ulcers. Yeeaaaaouch!!

Guys name Chris...
Are super hot. I think (or rather hope) my future husband's name starts from 'C'...at least a Chris or Cory hahaha because they are the hottest. Hot guys with "Chris" for names:
- Chris Richardson, Chris Evans, Christian Bale, Chris Pine, Kris Allen...
So "C" is the way to go!

Cory...
is a Taurus. Dang! I just found out that last week and I am heart-broken. For a person who believes in star signs, how can I not believe that a Leo and Taurus are incompatible!
But it is ok....If Marion (Scorpio) and her husband (Leo) can last, I might have a chance (that is if I meet Cory muahaha)

Work...
Another exciting week!! I am both thrilled about the countless meetings I have and also very much stressed out. I need a rejuvenating break because I can't take it anymore!!

Enough crap. I am hungry and I shall try to sleep now.

Love
TammyC
