1. an institutionalized job is one where the employee accepts a lower pay and works long erratic hours to protect a set of higher values. ok. my pay is not that low (but i’m q surprised that ppl with the same degree as me gets the same pay in other civil service sector...) but the hours are certainly v long and v erratic. lost my last weekend due to some things which i cannot say. and there are so many other misc things to do outside my job scope (but i guess it’s the same for all jobs..) k. i’m not supposed to complain here.

2. met up with the roosters for mika’s liangyu’s and lijie’s bday. great to meet up with old friends and it was a good break from all the work. this dec gg to langkawi with mika. and hopefully bangkok with mika lijie and mika’s frens. and more hopefully can go with roosters to kukup in jan. good things to look forward to.

3. just completed the vertical marathon! it felt much shorter than expected. though climbing steps is rather agonising. haha forced mika to go too... felt bad when she looked so stressed before the race. but after the race, she was bouncing around as usual. haha. oh. met ee jay there too and we went up together. but climbing steps is really rather demoralising cos everyone slows down the pace v early in the climb. think there’s some technique to moving up at a fast and reasonably comfortable pace.
