Well, my tenure of work is going to be over in a matter of days. While it was fun improving, or rather, trying to, improve my suckery and baking, not to be confused with my sucking at bakery. Suffice to say I've learnt a lot during this period of time, including but not limited to how not to bake a cake, the pain of adult fare ecspecially when travelling halfway across the country and how to both be rude and get customers coming back. Though, to be fair, most of these are going to be about as useful to the rest of my life as Quentin Tarantino or Vincent van Gogh's work are to Helen Keller.

It's kind of disheartening to know that at this point of time we stop learning and developing ourselves and spend the rest our lives in a mix of monotony, apathy and altruism. The higher-ups are going to make people think otherwise with terrible slogans such as "learning never ends", which is only true because some people never start in the first place, "life begins at 40/60", which only serves to console old ministers with self-esteem problems by undermining the existence of everyone below their age, or "vote PAP or die", a political slogan used in a more subtle manner sometime in the near future, but cheesy slogans do not change reality, but merely our perception of it. People could say things like "It's all in the mind", but the body exists to take a hit for the mind. You can change the way you see reality, you can change the way you feel reality and you can change the way you say reality(possibly with a Chinaman or Hispanic accent) but you can't really ever hope to change reality itself as a whole.

On a side note, how is Fuchsia pronounced? "Fooch-sia", "Foo-sia" and "Fau-sia" all sound horribly wrong, and "Fuck sia" is just well.... an excuse to scream vulgarities if nothing else.
