Contamination of the Beauty

Its a beautiful, peaceful and fresh morning, with invigorating air filling up the entire NTU campus. Driving along the avenues, I see hostelites strolling casually along the pavements, clad in comfortable t shirts and shorts. Its like a big holiday ground, with everyone in a relaxing mood. However, mine was soon tainted by the disharmony at home, with my mum complaining to me the moment i stepped into my home.

That is why I dun like to stay at home, but I cant escape for too long too. Its a very heavy burden to bear, more of emotionally than financially.

My manager told me yday that he may be leaving the company soon. He is already on the stage of negotiating his pay with another company. That explains why he has been eagerly helping to fight for pay rise and bonuses, his last effort to help me before he is no longer around.

While his departure from the company is definitely a BAD news for me, I am feeling more happy for him than sad for myself. I really think he needs to go already, having stayed five yrs in his current job. No matter how good the pay, bonuses and benefits he is given here, complacency shld not get over our head and he shld proceed on in life to learn more new stuffs.

Arghh... once he leaves, I will be suffering. Either I have to take over all his job scope (not his designation or pay), or I will be working under a new boss, who definitely doesn know much abt our company but has to sap on me.... Another push factor for me to quit my job fast and pursue my masters.

Kici, when u wanna visit the cemeteries again?
