Life is good. Finally.

And life in London has properly begin...

Sitting on my bed typing away with my laptop using wireless is bliss. Its so bliss cause I've never been able to do this before.

Many things have crossed my mind for the past 3 weeks that we're here. We're in our fourth week already, can you believe it? I've had TWO nervous breakdown, and the thought of not having a job drove me and Des crazy. Really, try having a holiday that you know for as long as it stretch, it is going to end worst-er. Gettit? Seriously, a holiday is NOT a holiday if there is not end date.

Have I mentioned that I miss working? My breakdown was not so much of not able to secure a job, but rather, the thought of NOT working. Technically, I didnt really do much since the day I hand in my resignation from the hill. And that is like the 2nd of Jan. And its been three months since I've properly worked. I miss going to work, I miss handing the PC, I miss talking up calls, I miss getting ready for work. How crazy is that?

Anyway, just came back from my first day of work. Its some data entry job that is so mind boggling. Mind boggling because its supposed to be data entry but theres so many discrepancies I ended up putting up comments asking for status for each entry rather than completing it. Its something like extracting an index from a database to search in another database for another name or something to that effect. Something that really doesnt need to cross the brain for instruction. Towards the end of the day, my hand already got a mind of its own. (having said that, funny how I am doing data entry when my attention to detail is like absolutely zero).

And it is so cekai that the dress code is casual, meaning jeans and t-shirt. And the environment is very quiet like call centre, where everyone is just busy typing. Luckily there is a radio right in front of me and the person next to me needs it to be high in volume, otherwise I would have gone crazy (by the way, my throat got bad and technically I lost my voice while sitting around not talking). And the pay was so-so, though I've heard of higher pay if I work in admin.

But I wasnt complaining. The fact that I'm back out in the office typing away is what making me happy. Though towards the end it was absolutely boring me out of death, the fact that I'm working gives the excitement that I miss.

Anyway, now that I've got a job, its only natural I wanted to demand for more. Perhaps, with this so-called local experience, I'll be able to secure other jobs.

I'm happy. Finally.

But of course, u'd think I dont dread the time when Des will be working? That is IF he got what he wanted. Then it will be back to just like the hill time, he'll be working through the weekends and nights.

Not something for me to look forward to.

But all I can think of right now, is how comfortable I am lazing on the bed with the TV in front of me and me typing away in my wireless connection. Life is good.

For now anyway :)
