Getting a little too fast...

A friend thought I have become 'better', judging from my previous entrywhich was a pretty much cheerful one. However, thats not true as I do not feel any 'better'. In fact, it has been quite the same - neither happy nor sad.

Just got back my Partner few hours ago. The repair package includes polishing and waxing of exterior + vacuuming of the interior. The van does not only look brand new, it feels brand new too. Everything looks sparkling new, including the front lamp, bonnet cover, bumper and sport rims + rim covers. However, i just feel that it looks different from the past already, although I cant precisely tell which part(s). I guess this applies similarly to many things - once there s a change, it will nv be the same again.

And there I say goodbye to the Nissan, which have faithfully accompanied me for the past one week. Though not a very comfortable car, its definitely more 'me', in the sense tat is suits my age better and is more agile. High fuel consumption aside, it does not give me any technical problem, phew.

Today and last week, I interviewed quite a number of workers who are interested in looking for a job at my work place. Unfortunately, I could not hire any of them. This is because I just received a notice from the management that the company is going to reduce the manpower.

About a yr ago, the company was facing its toughest period, not because of the economy down turn but due to a change in the LTA rule (i guess i cant reveal too much info here). The rule has affected us in the way that my ppl had to work very much harder. Finally, after slogging for about 1 yr, the brigher days are back again after everyone's efforts to struggle past that horrendous 1 yr. And just as everyone thought that its time to slow down and relax a little, the company announces a cut in manpower, reason stating that the work load is now lighter :(

I think the society is sometimes really too unfit for survival, especially with the very fast moving and changing paces. I foresee that there will be no more career stability and long lasting marriages in the future.
