A thing that you will need to spend (when you are employed/salary-worker): Birthday presents for your superiors. Yes, some of these really cost a lot. I don't even spend that much on myself or my family birthday. However, when you are asked by your department to chip into the present, there is absolutely no reason for you not to. Unless you are a weird one who likes to invite troubles for oneself. There are no alternative for us to prepare our own present (well, at least in my department.) I wonder do they realize how much is our income difference. Why must they choose such expensive present? Right, it's not their money.
Work Time: Someone commented that I was 'lucky' not having to test a new system due to technical difficulties. However, that was one of the things that interest me and yet I don't get to work with it. Apparently, the superiors tend to trust those who have a better English accent. I am not sure what caused such stereotypes but perhaps having that accent portray you are a better speaker even though their grammar and spelling mistakes are similar. Not something within my control again. When you are not appreciated, you might see everything in a negative way. Maybe it is just the way I look at things. However, it seems obvious and straightforward that most doesn't like to use their brains when making decisions and judgement. They tend to go by the feel of things resulting in errors and laziness in the progress.
Trying hard to adapt: The lack of time for my family and friend is really taking a toll on the relationships I have with them. Take this week for example, I will be working from early morning to evening or late evening (around 8pm). My mum will be working from afternoon to late midnight and the only morning shift she had, she will need to attend lessons in the evening till late at night. We don't have time to even talk to each other at least for five days. The only time we could get together and have a chat will be Saturday. Even if that, it would definitely be a short one as we will need to do other things such as housework, cleaning and our own studies. Friends are even far off, I have not been able to get into any small chat with any one of them since at least three months. Most of us are just busy with work, otherwise dating, or spending time with our own family. It is difficult to get a response even in chat like whatsapp. Some might be overseas, others might just be too shag to reply a message. Well, I got to figure a way to solve this. Though relationships may not be the most important thing on my list, I can't deny that they matter.
It is rather late now, I should be getting to bed. Sleeping while being hungry isn't a good experience at all. But it is certainly better than not having enough sleep and make tons of mistakes tomorrow.
Let's have a good dream and wake up tomorrow hoping that our day would be better than today.
