Moving House

I have always thought it fun to move to a new place...new furniture, new place....wow....little did I know that there is so much work???!!!

But well, I get to know to logistics/warehousing function a lot better now. Am totally in sync with the entire warehousing function now...this was (still is) my job description for the last week:

Job Description
1. Pick & Sort materials (which stuff to go to which room, which stuff to discard etc)
2. Pack materials (bubble wrap fragile items, string wrap delicate items, pack materials into carton boxes, seal boxes)
3. Load onto forklift (instead of forklift, I have to load onto my 1.6cc Toyata)
4. Deliver to destination (new place!!)
5. Unload and unpack
6. Pick & Sort into the desinate places
7. Rearrangement (for optimal spacing and convenience)

Working hours: 7am - 1am (yep, I am violating the MOM rules with longer hours)

Benefits & Renumeration : None whatsoever....

Well...despite the hard work, it was fun in a lot of ways. But tiring...am aching all over and I think I have developed some little muscles....

Truth about myself : I am a terrible person....

Damn....

I am a terrible person in every mortal or moral sense.

And I just realised this today while talking to a good friend of mine.....Self-realisation can be shocking.

Which Tarot Card Am I?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

The Wrong Side of 30

A friend recently commented that I have to seize the day and treasure the time I have now before I reached the wrong side of 30. Of course, this friend didn't know (or was just being very very nice) that I have passed the big '30'.

Looking back, however, I feel that being past 30 has brought me more in my life.

Before 30, I was meek and afraid of speaking up. I was not confident nor assured of what I have, be in in work or my personal life. I didn't take charge of my own life...rather I went with the flow....going where the wind took me. I didn't have much of a view of my own....instead I look to others for direction and advice. On appearance, I was shy and never confident of how I looked. Yeah...I was still vain and all, but I was never comfortable of how I looked or how I presented myself to others. This was especially so after the birth of Hele. Things really went on a downhill and the self-esteem hit rock-bottom. With my extra flab and fats, I felt awful all the time.

Today I am past 30. Somehow everything has changed. I am more confident of myself, during and off work. In my current capacity, I could give advice and direction to my people and it feels good. It feels even better when you know that they do appreciate it becuase they come up and tell you so. I know I look good and it gives me the confidence to talk and interact with people I never felt comfortable with. Yeah, going over 30 has given me alot in life...maybe it's because of the accumulated life experiences or maybe I just started to wake up on the right side of the bed.
