Hello September (almost)!
The month of August has always been a bittersweet month for me. Maybe it's because I will always associate it with an ex (both friend and lover)'s birthday, who was also an asshole, and also nothing good usually happens during this month - Last Aug, we had to do a major overhaul of two systems within a tight timeline of two months (and this was only relayed to us a few days before UAT started). This Aug, I finally realise how much of a jackass my supervisor is. Working with the idiot is so bad that I am now taking steps to find another job; which is quite sad, considering I have been here for slightly over 5 years and I actually like what I'm doing. Although, it's quite reassuring that people prefer liaising with me instead of him. But I think that for the sake of both my mental and physical health, I should really leave before it gets too toxic. Case in point, I've already taken 12 sick days this year as compared to only 5 last year. 😕 But I'm glad, and thankful, for my silver linings for the rest of the year - a newfound audio obsession/binge: @greyknighterotica 's works, my upcoming short trips to Jakarta (Sep 2017) & Kuala Lumpur (Oct 2017), catch-up with friends and the big year-end trip to Wales (2.5 weeks, starting from Christmas 2017). Speaking of which, it's yet another result of me going "fuck this shit, I'm booking my tickets now"... So travel itinerary is exceptionally bare, but I think I'm just going to wing it - Solo travel anyway, and being able to say "I think I'll do this/check this out today" during the trip is always fun. Haha. So finally it's 31 Aug! Cheers to a better last third of 2017 💋
