The Steam Awakens

"Waking up early in the morning...better not sleep too late tonight..."

These  are the words I'd whisper to myself almost every night in a week. Since I got a permanent job working from half 8am till half 6pm, I try very hard not sleep less than 7 hours a day. Nodding off during work is probably not a good idea, especially when I have to deal with customers.

What about weekends? I would get up the same time I would have to go to work. Drive to somewhere far from the city and enjoy the peaceful morning without work and unwanted noise. 

I'd stop by a cafe, order a simple breakfast and hot drink. Looking at my bowl of hot food...a little  warm feeling filled in my head. When was the last time I'd just slow down and realise the beauty of the steam vaporising above the bowl? I probably stopped for a minute or two just watching the little film of "The Steam Awakens".

There are two types of mornings. The morning I have to get up for work and the morning I'd choose to get up for a breakfast out of city. And it is those morning I have plenty of time to slow down, to think and to remind myself the goals in my life. With that, the steam awakes myself too loll

My first pay cheque from work

12/2/2015

It's been a while not updating my blog about my job. Perhaps when the days of work are getting more and more repetitive, there isn't much different I can really share...

Well,  I got my first pay cheque yesterday! I know a lot of us get their pay cheque on a regular basis but hey! if you would just allow me to say it again..."I finally got my first month's salary paid!" 

So what did I do with it? I first took a quarter of the salary out and give them to my parents. Then I'd just leave the rest sitting in my bank account and take it out when I need it for food and transportations. BUT hummm, it was my first paid salary, I got to buy something memorable. 

So I bought a watch! To be honest, the watch has taken quit a good share of my total salary. But I believe it's worth it! It is because it tells me time.(Really!) Time is one of the most precious thing in the wold. And by buying this watch(the most expensive watch I've ever owned so far), it marked a start of an era to me. To prove and remind myself that my time could be more valuable now. 

Hahaa I didn't know it wasn't a easy job to pick watches when you don't have one in mind! I knew what sort of watch I wanted, but which one to take it home??? Haha it took me an hour to finally picked one. It was marvellous wearing it out the store. 

Now the watch is my close partner at work and other occasions. I love it really!
