Heh, it was exactly a year ago I started noting the beginning of each month.

It was the National day of Malaysia yesterday. 48 years of independence. Heh, seems so miniscule compared to other countries. Thinking of hurricane Katrina and the chaotic aftermath. Then again I think about the celebrations held back home. Sometimes we should count ourselves blessed and fortunate.

It’s actually been a month already. I was still honeymooning from just having been employed. Life feels a little less directionless now. However, it still doesn’t feel very meaningful. Well, I have now ascended from the level of complaining that I was unemployed to complaining that I’m employed but too tired each day to make use of my income now.

Nearly four weeks now, I’ve grown used to sleeping 6 hour shifts but there were days that by 11pm I was so pooped I just slept before my official bedtime of ‘not 11pm’. As with all the things I spend a lot of time on (gaming, selling fish), I start dreaming of the things associated with them. Heh, the dreams were rather abstract, with me spinning out finance buzz words more than actually making any sense out of them. That was the first week or so at work.

Mind is semi coherent now. So much to ponder about. Heh, sometimes it’s easier to just sleep and let your dreams take over. They do a good job of settling issues at times (there is a scientific reference to that).
