Happy holidays!
Hurray to the long weekends. It'd been officially two months at my new workplace. Getting very much used to the workload and tempo already i guess. And I'd reached office much later than i usually would for the past 2 days. Bad sign! Gg to try and keep my records clean and not be late!
On a lighter note, so glad there's an extra day to the wkend ahead. More rest and nua-ing! Once in a while you just need to have some self therapy and enjoy the luxury of letting time pass you. Exactly what i'm doing right now! Having an entire room all to myself, air-conditioner switched on, taylor swift's new album RED playing on my playlist, surfing aimlessly looking at pretty things.. all with a bottle of cloudy apple juice on my side. YUMS! Bought it ytd night from the new Shop&Save near canteen 2 which apparently replaced the famous Nanyang mart. I guess the 7eleven will go bust very soon with the new competitor that's offering much more competitive prices.
Tried canteen 2's famous ayam penyet ytd night for dinner. Boy was it good! Crispy on the exterior and the meat inside is still tender and succulent. Super delightful even though i already had fried chicken for lunch ytd. But the aunty serving is a tad AP. =x Had salted caramel ice cream from canteen 1 after that. I'm so gg to get fat! But it was damn fulfilling! Though not wallet friendly. Haha. Good thing i dun stay ard here. Imagine me having to allocate a part of my spending on ice cream =/
In bf's room now doing my leisure stuff while he finishes his lifesaving training at the pool. Seriously, who on earth has training in school on a public holiday?! Pfmptt. But kind of enjoying the lone time. Hee! Bet it's burning outside now. Going to finish up my novel and bum ard n all before he comes back. Loving the serenity ard here. I think a lot of ppl's still in hall but i think they are all like me- Hide in the comfort of the room and not get out. Okay i did, to go to the bathroom, washing machine room and to hang out clothes.
Maybe i'll go out explore a little and walk ard a bit. Maybe, just maybe =p

musing
Aftermath of pushing your limits- MAJOR MUSCLE ACHES
They are finally easing away alr. Can now take bigger strides and push through locomotives who strolls along bustling areas. It's Wednesday today! Midweek are a cause for celebration. Furthermore, it's a 4-day week!!
One more day one more day one more day

I feel so bad for my boy, seriously. Read through his effective comms essay and it's just such a flop. Bad grammar, illogical arguments, no thesis even... All in all, FAINTS. He was so upset, he looked at me and told me how he's so gonna flunk this assignment.
This, is the problem with group work. And the best phrase to sum this up- too many cooks spoil a broth.
Tried to help. Did some editing but I guess his team members thought otherwise of it. I may not be an expert but at least being a comms student, that gives me an advantage over u. Tsk! So upset for him right now. I seriously hope that the bell curve (if any) will work in his favour somehow.
That's e thing abt project work. You have leechers, stubborn cows, all-talk-and-no-action-ers, bossy ppl... All sorts. You just have to choose them wisely if not you'll have to suffer the consequences. I met ppl like that but at least i'm able to convince them to do things my way, which, very much reduce the damages incurred. Sometimes, you just need to know your limits. If u aren't so good in a certain area, let others take charge. Don't force things and then everybody gets pulled into the cold water altogether.
Poor boy :(

movie night
Our idea of having a dayout like tat is supposed to be us watching some comedy/bimbotic/chick flick kind of films. But we didnt make it for the GF/BF session and had to catch Taken 2 instead. I tell you, it's the best coincidence that happened! Too good! We were just sitting at the edge of the cinema seat, so tensed up from the action and suspense. Thumbs up! And we didnt even catch Taken 1 before that but the lack of details while watching the sequel werent of any bother. So gonna watch Taken one of these days!
TGIF! :)

resident's evil
Mega monday blues today especially since the past wkend went horrible. It's just not how it's supposed to be, in fact it's far from what i've imagined. I guess we cant always have things our way. That's life. But having said that, i swear i was so so so close to pulling the plug. I'm not sure if days,months, or even years from now, i'll look back n wished that i made a different decision...
On a lighter note, i managed to catch resident's evil on fri night. GROSS! Referring to the zombies that is. It's so annoying how they pop out from nowhere and gives you a sudden adrenaline pump every now with their sudden appearance and coupled with the shark-approaching kind of music effect.
But the lead actress is just really HOT, crudely put it. I have a thing for athletic girls, probably because we just like to have things we can't, and i can never ever be a healthy, sun-kissed, lean, sporty girl. Lol. The plot is kind of -.- and i'm quite sure it's not as good as the previous sequels. But i must really compliment abt the scientific effects- they were so so good

thanks for e memories
Just when i was trying to decide what to have for lunch, Doug came over n ask if I wanted to join him. So we explored the nice cafe just downstairs. Another free lunch day cos he insisted on treating. Oh well. Must be bcos i witnessed how he was verbally shot millions of time by the sales reps with the harsh qns and gg through bad times together brings ppl closer. Ha.
Had class today- the LAST one of the year. Unofficial that is, bcos after presenting today, there's no point coming tmr. The lecturer is TOO unbearable. It's alright to explain thoroughly ONCE, but he has a habit of explaining TWICE THRICE MULTI-TIMES as though u didn't get it the first time. AHH. It makes me wanna stomp my feet.
But somehow there's this yi yi bu she feeling. It's like everybody knows we probably wont see each other anymore n there's this bittersweet feeling. So contradicting! And to think the person who initiated to take pic together is a guy. HA! What's e world becoming?! But that request kind of warms my heart, knowing ur presence means something to somebody...
For unknown reasons, saying goodbye after class today is extremely emotional and hugging seems like the most appropriate thing to do. HA! but no, i hugged no one! But ya, you get how it feels
It's finally over! Just one more research paper to submit at the end of this month. Hang in there! :))

OL un-OL-like
Sometimes I really wonder what's in my head. Forgot to bring brolly ytd, made a mental note to bring it today but.. FORGOT AGAIN.
It wldnt have been a prob until i had to go meet ex-frens for lunch @kovan n i realised it was pouring outside n there was no way i could get to my destination.
But guess wat, when life shuts e door on you, there's always a window open. And it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Boss drove e whole team out and we had a welcome lunch-for me! More than a week late but nvtheless still a nice gesture. Haha.
And before that, Boss got me to tag along with Doug to see how it's like to brief e sales head from all SH branches in the upcoming 4g plans. It's really quite an eye-opener. Other than knowing all e insider news before it was released, you get to experience first-hand of how it's really like and what happens before a plan is launched in store. And i must say the sales rep r a bunch of ppl from all walks of life. The more potato ones , the slightly ah bengish, the concerned, the impatient... It's interesting to hear their point of view bcos knowing all these is like their bread n butter n they wan to be fully equipped to counteract all the customer's queries and arguments.
It's really cool. And i'm actually liking my job. Not the usual desk-bound mundane 9-6

happy thurs
I'm dead beat now but got to listen out for kiki's REM night movements while her mummy goes to shower before i can head to bed.
Today was a super fulfilling day aka. nucleus connect day.
Had lunch @NEX with ex-nc ppl who are still working there. It's just such a warm fuzzy feeling to eat, chat, and interact with familiar faces. Especially since e people at my new workplace isnt the closest thing to friendly/inclusive/nice. I mean we do talk but it's more like asking me to help them with stuff more than wanting to have a personal conversation. But there's a few nice ppl ard who are truly willing to share experiences and personal feelings with you. Which, is kind of nice.
I'm certainly not the kind to try means and ways to fit into them. It really didn't matter. Why waste time on people who aren't genuine? As I got older, I realised how I'd rather have quality me-time than to put on my most PR smile and look as though I'm part of them. So anal right? Why can't i take more initiative. Ha.
But actually, i really do enjoy my new job. I've learnt quite a bit in just a week's time. Learning to use the SAP system which will certainly be advantageous in future, liaising with external media vendors (some networking maybe), some admin work, and nice lady in e team that brings me through all her marketing campaigns.
Oh ya, not to forgot dinner with my ex-nc GIRLFRIENDS! So so so nice to see them! The last time was on my bday which doesnt really count because i was all over e house. And then the warm fuzzing feelings come oozing all over again. When we met, J asked if XY and i were still attached. We gave a positive answer and then she asked the most unpredictable question- "with e same guy?" HA! That's how long we haven met. Long enough to haf a change in bf.
T got hitched recently and I'm just SO SO SO happy for her! How she glow with all e romance blooming and sweet nothings exchanged! Hee! Kind of forgotten how things were like when me and le bf started out. Been so long..
Anyway, it had been a most fulfilling day and im a happy girl. (even though le bf finished cca n is gg SUPPER w/ coach n frens n we wont be able to talk =/ )
Need to catch up with a lot more ppl soon (ced n wen if u're seeing this!!)
TGIF in advance :))

starstruck
/Edited
Okay, since e ep has aired i can finally post this. Didnt want to remind ppl to watch it. Ha! Post was typed after e filming like month ago. Anw i look so unflattering!
Burnt my entire Sunday bcos of this.
And no, i didnt volunteer/ sign up for this but entirely for e sake of doing my dad a favour.
For those of u who rarely watch mediacorp production, "neighborhood society" is a local variety show tht promotes neighborhood cohesion just like its name suggest (DUH). So what they do is every week, they will go to a particular neighborhood to film. Firstly, they start off the game with a 达人who basically is technically the team leader and there she has to go ard the neighborhood in search of 10 people who satisfy the criteria set by game producer. After which, the 10 members with the leader will need to decorate some figure and adhere to the theme. Public will then vote and decide the winner.
And as usual i did e most epic thing.
You'll probably find my face really blank in e beginning of e show bcos i thght it was a rehearsal when it was actually the REAL THING. =/
Plus the weather was insanely hot and standing under the furnace-like sun for almost 5h is no joke and it makes me SUPER ANGSTY. Even with e camera on me, my face was just 臭 and looking really unglam with the sweaty-ness that was killing me.
Overall, it was a good experience. But.. i still dun want to do ever again!
My very nice frens came to vote and then escorted me home to shower before we had a very home-ly zichar dinner and then a nice htht session. :)
