Five.

While some of my friends are complaining that they aren't awarded half a day off to mark the end of a work year, I almost wept tears of joy when I was able to knock off at 1945, almost an hour earlier than normal.

It's all about managing your expectations. The higher you aim, the harder you fall.


Random quote of the day / Random "shamelessly ripped from the newspaper" quote of the day

"Women are like diamonds. They have to be cut before they can sparkle."

Annie Yi, on how pain helps women to grow.

To my lady friends who went or are currently going through a rough patch in life, you will emerge a stronger and better person. Just like a finely polished diamond, a phoenix rising from the ashes, a piece of well stewed porl, a lump of well baked cow dung or..you get my drift. Cheer up!
