.: over chocolate fondue :.

i havent been thinking much; its worrying - i try to console myself with reading "intelligent" books on the way to and fro work. just preoccupied with daily nothings and great logistical decisions. but i thought, since my boss is on leave and i have been a tad too efficient these past few days, i'd start the discipline to WRITE on my blog (how ironic).

it was interesting that we met yesterday - the 3 of us, social work grads, lamenting on the politics of the trade, working life and reminiscing about the times we spent in school - one of them complained that i was too fast in walking - since she is short, one stride of mine is equal to a few of hers. And she wears HEELS, for goodness sake! amazed at how we had continued to be friends, against all odds. she was the control freak and i was the total opposite.

then, we realised working life has changed us. she has learnt to become more last minute while i learnt to be less last minute. another friend said she had changed for the worse - no longer a good listener (after listening daily to people's problems, what would you expect?). we arent as idealistic, arent as lofty. more real. more mean.

the hazard of the job.

but we are still enjoying it.

may i go on to a job that i am passionate about. more passionate than i am now. aameen

ps: bloss, we need to go orchard and take pictures - its so pretty! and no, i am not a promoter of consumerism.

oh yes, in case you are wondering why the title - we had chocolate fondue at swensens!
