Feeling a bit bored at work, i browsed thru my photos archive.

And decided to put this picture up. I think its a really nice picture...except for little grouchy Andrea. But she's too cute to be faulted. haha.The picture has this afternoon tea/tai-tai feel to it. I think it has to do with the way we're positioned, plus the presence of the lovely tea sets. Feels a bit like Joy Luck Club. haha

Yday i was at Raffles Place.

Strolling along the streets as people decked in formal office wear striding from place to place. I always feel very out of place at Raffles Place. Previously it was because I felt very paiseh to be wearing my oversized "Get Frooty" bright orange polo t-shirt, holding onto trays of drinks, walking into those posh offices to do my delivery.

However, i still had this feeling when i was there yday.

And I realised. I'm just not cut out for the corporate world.

Just based on appearances alone, I'm not poised, or articulate, or well-groomed like all these women decked in their power suits walking by me.

For one, I don't believe in wearing high-heels. Just as we look on in disgust at bounded feet that chinese women had to go through centuries ago, I'm sure many years down the road, people will look back in disgust at women having to walk on three-inch high heels. and for what?! increase our chances of spraining our ankles and risking injuries?

(on a side note. the other day I was out with my friends and I told them to slow down coz i was wearing heels. they looked at me and said, "you wear heels one meh?". I lifted my feet and said, "Yah! 1/2 inch heel is still heel what!")

I can't imagine having to wear those corporate attire of shirts and skirts the whole entire day.

At my current office, 90% of the time i'm seated crosslegged on my chair. Can't do tt if i'm wearing skirts
80% of the time i'm walking ard bare-footed, or in my pair of flipflops. can't do that in a formal work environment.

Based on character, I'm not the motivated, driven sort of person who wants to climb up the corporate ladder. Never wanted, never will want to. I hate politics. I can't imagine having to go for those corporate lunches and meetings and what not. I hate meeting people for purpose of business.

Anyway, I guess the bottom line is everyone is made for different industries. And God will place us at the right place. Just like how He placed me here at ITE. A casual working environment that suits me fine.

Though I dunnoe what it is that i want to do in the future. I do know what it is that i don't want to do.

And that's a good thing, no?
