Do you hear the people sing?

It's Year 2020 but I still have draft posts from a long time ago so I will be taking my free time this week to complete them. (Last few very free days since circuit breaker period is ending in less than a week.)

This post is half written and saved as draft since 17 Apr 2019.
and I finally got time to do it.
without further ado, let's get on with the post.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of the people
who will not be slaves again

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My partner and I subscribed have recently subscribed to Netflix (Since the start of this year 2019) and I have been spending sometime watching Netflix when I am back home from work.
At the start I was just watching anime. But seriously ? Anime on Netflix? I could just watch them online ! It's everywhere. But the good thing about Netflix ? You skip all the irritating ads.

Yeah so, I went to watch Les Miserables cause I have always wanted to watch it since I heard the medley of the song done by Lindsey Stirling

Sure enough, the story is good and there are many awesome songs in the show!
If you don't want to catch the show, you can listen to the album on spotify. 
They have arranged the album so that the songs are sync with the movie. (Which song came out first etc). But there is no dialogue in the playlist so it might be hard for people who have never watched Le Miserables to relate to it.

Anyway, this particular song appeals to me a lot as I felt trapped when I was working for my previous company. An encouragement and also motivation for me to break free from my previous employment and seek for something new. Also, I wasn't really happy in my previous workplace.

Fast forward to a year later, 
I'm working in a new company with new sets of challenges and environment.
To be honest, I actually prefer the atmosphere at my old office.
My old colleagues. 
but in terms of workload, I prefer it here.

However, I will not go back to my old office because the colleagues that I miss are no longer there.
The fun that we had will all remain as memories.
To be talked about whenever we meet up.

Back to songs of Les Miserables.
Do you hear the people sing is a song that gave me encouragement and motivation at times when I feel down during my previous employment.
But I also like many of the other songs in the movie.
  1. One day more
  2. Castle on a cloud
  3. Empty Chairs At Empty Tables
  4. I dreamed a dream
  5. Look down (Of any version. Be it the opening or the Paris/look down)
  6. On My Own
  7. Master of the house
  8. Do you hear the people sing
  9. Stars
  10. At the end of the day
There are more songs but these songs are my pick. Let me know if your picks are different and what are your views regarding your pick. :D

2 Weeks left before Circuit Breaker Period is over

Only 2 weeks left before the circuit breaker period is over. Although I really enjoyed my time during this circuit breaker playing games and goofing around, But looking at the situation, I have got no choice but to start catching up with what I've missed while goofing around. A second extension seem unlikely at this conjunction. Despite still having 600 over new cases tested in the dormitory, the number of cases in the community is quite low. (OR JUST THAT WE ARE ALL NOT TESTED) That means that if everyone follow safe distancing and ensure personal hygiene, it should be safe for people to head out. Furthermore, some of the sectors are already opened for business. Which means that if there is no sudden surge of cases in the local community,  there is no need for further extension. As we are expecting no extension, it is time for us to start working hard to catch up on whatever we have left off while goofing off (Only applies if you are like me). Staying at home makes it hard for me ...

Forgetful :(

Image
Too forgetful lately. Previously I left my wallet in school. Luckily someone returned it to the office and I managed to get it back. Otherwise I would have lost $300 just to get my IC replaced. Went out for surveying with my colleagues today. Took out my tablet for photo taking and recording of notes and then my colleague asked me to help shine torchlight (using phone) at where he wanted to take photo. (To get a nicer photo) Then I totally just put down my tablet on the nearest table and forget about it there! It was until after I left the place, board a taxi, sat down and decide to take a look of the photos taken then I realised that my tablet was missing! Spent the whole journey trying to recall where I left it. My colleague deduced the correct location though my colleague claim to not see me use my tablet when we were there. Apparently after we got back and have lunch and flip through the photos my colleague took, there was a photo of me using my tablet at the room...

Procrastination :O

It seems like it's pretty hard for me to stick to the goals I have set due to me always procrastinating. I am always giving in to the monkey in my head. The battle against the need for instant gratification is real.  I want to reap the results but I don't really want to work for it :(.  While it doesn't sound fair but then that's what it is. Right now, I really just want to work on finding a system that will work for me at home and at work so that I can become more productive, organized and actually gives great output instead of wasting precious time on things that does not matter as much. Work has been hectic as there is a lot of things to handle right now. Yet I still find time to procrastinate whenever I get small and little things done. I think that should not be the case cause the project needs to be completed by November and we are still trying to figure out what is happening. Seems like I really need to step up my game and start to push for more output else I wil...
