>>> The boredom of routine...

... and the perception of the passage of time are somewhat interlinked.

Don't you think so?

I mean, like when you're working somewhere droll, boring and/or with the same group of people, doesn't it feel time crawls?

And conversely, when you're doing something that you enjoy, that it practically speeds by, leaving you in the dust?

Therefore, in conclusion, the more boring and routine a certain situation or occurence is, the slower that time passes by in the context of one's perceptions.

Now, with that done, let's move on to a short report, shall we?

PROJECT:SELF-EXPLANATORY has managed to get itself stalled in the mud at the moment, but we're trying to dig it out as quick as we can. How? By holding the group's secret meeting at the mysterious and rather enigmatic Ferret's classified hideaway somewhere in the urban landscapes of Northern SG at an undisclosed date and time; well, undisclosed to you lot, at any rate.

And now that you know of the existence of this Top Secret project, I am afraid that you will have to die now... *looks off-screen* What? I can't kill them? But, where's the fun in that? *slit-eyed, unhappy look* You guys never let me have any fun, dammit all.

*puts on a pair of wraparound sunglasses and then pulls out a slim, cyclindrical object that has its top extend with a pop*

Ladies and germs, - and yes, that includes you guys, too - please focus on the flashing, little red light... *sudden bright flash*

... you people have not seen anyone except Safety Inspectors from Division 6 of the Urban Redevelopment Authority and have not heard anything about any secret projects or meetings. That is all, you can all continue on with your pathetic existences now. Thank you, and do try to have a nice day.

*muttering is heard as the screens winks out with a hiss of static*

MIB


YES, I am that bored that I just had to rip the MIB off.

Feh.

In other news:

I've been on attachment to two Starbucks stores: Bugis Junction and Suntec Tower Four. It was a helluva lot of fun and I hope that I get attached out more in the future, tho' that'd be quite doubtful. Why? Let's just say that it's a gut feeling.

I need to reclaim a sense of urgency with some things in the store. I appreciate the straightforwardness of my SM; thankfully he's not afraid to tell me the negative. Though I wish that he'd tell me something positive, too!!

And we might have a new partner in our store @ TP soon. No, it's not Jeffrey from PS [but he'll be there after the 15th] or a partner from the closing NP store [and s/he'll only be with us in or after July]. It's a 29 year old babe named Christine who looks pretty decent with interesting, erm, assets, for lack of better, more politically correct terms. *goofy grin* Oh, well, even if my job is in trouble, at least I'll still be a willing customer! XD But my main question is this: WHY is she joining Starbucks at the age of 29? Is she studying, bored or wot? Oh, well, we'll find out eventually.

On a side note, why is it that Singaporeans, when they head overseas to study, work and/or live, have a tendency to clump together and try to ostracize & then miserablize at least ONE other SGean? Especially if that certain individual gets along better with the locals than the group of SGeans? Cripes. We're all humans, or at least some of us are, so why can't we all just bloody get along!? Plasticated, whoop their asses, you know you want to!!! WITH C7!!!

Anyways, I'm hungry and I have a craving for pizza; plus, I want sex.

Fuggit, I'll just make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and write a triple-x story later for the hell of it.

Which I probably won't get past the first two pages without giving up in disgust.

BLEAH.

Laters, peoples, the food calls to me...
