2010

It has been almost a year since I last blogged. So many things happened, some happy, some not so happy. I moved to a new house early this year. I got the Maxis iPhone 3G a few months before the the 3G(S) made an appearance. And am now waiting patiently for the iPhone 4.

I would like to go straight to what's bothering me at the moment. Two things. First, my siblings and me have been branded "bad-children" by our very own relatives. I'm not quite sure how things got this out of hand, but I think it's unfair to brand someone if the someone was not consulted and was not present to defend themselves.

I was depressed for a few days when I first heard about this. I mean, my siblings and me are trying our very best to be helpful and understanding, we really do. But we have our own families to think about and that's where the problem starts.

I am very thankful for everything that's happened all my life, but when I see other children of parents, children my age, I sometimes envy them.

The second thing is, I was recently appointed as translator for my company's website. And this appointment comes with an allowance. So, when I got the appointment, translation work started coming my way, even legal documents, and the dean's presentation slides.

I was happily translating because I thought I would be getting the allowance every month. How wrong I was. Now it's the middle of July and I still haven't seen a speck of the allowance. And so I asked the HR person in charge and she told me there was a problem.

The didn't know what code my translating work should be under, because apparently, no one has ever been appointed as a translator. So now I'm still waiting for their feedback. I hope I get it soon. At least that could cheer my up some.

Wait, I'm still depressed about the first thing. We are always misunderstood. Or should I just say I'm always misunderstood. Sometimes I feel like going someplace else and start fresh. In fact, I'm planning towards that. But one thing at a time.
