the entry about work, work, you'd betta work

i've been in dormant blogging for way too long that it's practically a chore to whip up something juicy or interesting about my life. the prolonged hiatus in between the blog entries could only be whittled down to one sole reason, combined with my ongoing weekly church visits that has my soul incandescing with a myriad of ways for repentance. and of course, the daily gym routines that has me stretching out for the analgesic muscle rub every fifteen minutes whilst sprawled on my bed. it's hard! but at least i'm back on track. and the world suddenly seems a nicer place, life is sweet, and my disposition this day is chirpy.

i received a call from my new company: "desmond, you've been officially contracted. we're waiting for you to get your ass down here, thanks." and so it is to be, as it was written, that on the 16th sep 2009, i would henceforth uphold the title of a business development officer with prudential, singapore.

being the ever enthusiast, i arrived at the office half-hour early and bombarded the two secretaries with every possible permutations of questions i could conjure up with regards to work whilst they curtly thrust the necessary documents and miscellaneous paraphernalia into my hands. i guess i might have startled them a tad too much with my frenzied fervor that i swore them glance at each other for just an instant, but long enough for them each to flex a bitchy, sympathetic eyebrow.

so, here i am, despite being buried under tons of work and a newfound sense of ginormous pressure, keeping you guys posted with this cameo entry. i guess that's all. i'm done for now.

p.s. it's my one-hundredth entry!!! make some noise people.

Hey Desmond,

KUDOS for achieving this milestone - the 100th entry!! I started reading your blog not long ago and enjoyed the colorful stuff and interesting entries in here :)

Also, glad to hear that you have finally settled down at your new job (read this in Facebook) and starting your gym routine once again (to get rid of the love handles? Just kidding laa)..

Cheers,
ming leng
