Positive thinking goes a long way.
Thursday, 23 August 2012
Hello.
It's been a pretty boring week so far. No activities, no outings, no nothing. I stayed at home most of the time and I only get out of the house to bring my lil sis to and fro her school. Yep, it's becoming my afternoon routine now - Bring lil sis to school > Buy lunch > Head home > Eat lunch and sit around > Fetch lil sis from school. Not to mention having to take care of the baby in the meanwhile. Talk about a part-time nanny lol. But still, I do enjoy these little moments. :)
I don't know why but I feel so at peace and serenity when I look after this little guy. Somehow, he has the mysterious ability to make me smile. A genuine and happy smile.
Nobody probably reads this blog but I'm going to let out my inner feelings in this post.
I'm not even expecting anything from you guys anymore. If you are not spontaneous or enthusiastic enough, so be it. I'm so sick of you guys being stick-in-the-muds and complaining all the damn time. Plans made and discussed with you guys always almost never happen. It was until to the extent that I wished I had another clique to hang out with.
The words in these two pictures make so much sense now with the things that are going on at the moment.

Hey there! This post is meant for yesterday.
It's been a long day. I got out of the house at 11.30am and came back at around 11pm. Talk about home sweet home. My schedule for the day was practically packed throughout. I didn't take photos so be prepared to read just rows of text.
First stop: K Box @ Bedok Point with Grace, Alvin and Wei Xin
Man, it's been a long time since I last visited a karaoke place. Truthfully, singing is one of my favourite activities to do. I just enjoy singing so so so much! (Even though my voice isn't really good) K Box definitely has a better suited environment for singing when compared to the other karaoke chains. Of course, the price is much higher as well; at $20 per person for 3 hours of singing with lunch and a drink. I was surprised that they serve "Manhattan Fish Market" for lunch though. That aside, we had an enjoyable time singing our hearts out to English, Mandarin and Korean songs. I was the only one who picked and sang Korean songs because the rest of them were not very familiar with K-Pop and the language and they complimented me for be able to sing the songs. Haha.
Oh yay. I actually took a picture. Alvin and Grace singing~
Second stop: Orchird Bowl @ E!Hub with Grace, Alvin and Wei Xin, Wilson, Jovan and someone else
At our second stop, two more people joined us for bowling. Jovan came to look for me and he ended up playing the second game with us. I didn't play very well and got an lousy average score of 75. It's a miracle that I didn't get last place. *whew*
Third stop: Pool @ SAFRA Tampines with AngryNoobs clique
Surprisingly, all of us arrived on time. (Should have bought 4D on that day) We had dinner at a nearby coffeeshop and went to SAFRA for pool. Food seems to have an domino effect on us. Zhi Neng went to buy soup noodles as he didn't eat dinner with us. The rest of us got so tempted as we watched him eat and in the end, one by one, we went to buy some noodles for ourselves too. The temptation was just too strong to resist! We took turns playing pool for like 3 hours and we went home.
End of the day.

It's a sentimental day today.
So, it's official. I left my temporary job at UOB today. Although it was just for two months, my stay there has been enjoyable and pleasant and I have made lots of new friends. I should have requested to take a group photo together when we came back from lunch. Everyone got so busy all the way afterwards that I've got no chance to even ask them. That's one big regret. And then, I didn't get to personally bid farewell to some people as well. They have either left the office or did not come to work today. That's another big regret.
Still, I sincerely thank them for the pleasant memories; not all of them though. There's this weird guy in the office. I shall not elaborate on his weirdness. Haha. Okay, moving on. This is by far, the most enjoyable temporary job that I ever had (apart from the job scope). You people are seriously awesome and I will definitely miss you guys. I really hope to see you guys soon again. Please stay in touch and see you all around! Oh yeah, thanks for the well wishes for NS too. Still lol-ing over the advice Kumari gave to me - "Study hard at university after your NS, and get good qualifications. If not, no girl would like and stay with you!" Practical but true. :) I will still heed that advice nevertheless.
With that, I would like to thank these people at UOB:
RC side: Eunice, Pei Yun, Jessica, Jasmine (Small), Joanna, Ms Quek
LA side: Kumari, Elsie, Suffian, Siew Chin, Linda, Carol, Wai Hoong and the new staff, Renale (I can't remember how to spell her name)
Other sides: Angeline, Zi Li or Charlotte, Rosman, Alvin, Ben, Aaron, Rui Qin, Zhi Kai
Yes, it might be surprising and ironic to see some people up there because I rarely talk to them. This is when I start to feel remorseful. We could have talked; but because I was holding back, nothing happened eventually. Do forgive me if I left out any names as well.
Not being bias, but I think I will miss the RC department much more. Maybe this post sounds exaggerated to you; how can you have so much feelings in two months' time? Well, I won't deny that. However, I'm being 100% sincere as I am typing out this post right now.
Last part of the post, presenting the humble yet appreciative farewell gifts and treats from the past! A big thank you for all these! I'm sure there were more treats though. I probably ate them without taking photos.
1. Peanut cake from Angeline:
2. Pie from Kumari, Ms Quek and I don't know who else:
3. Ribena and Kinder Bueno from Eunice and Pei Yun:
4. Grapes and pastry from Suffian and Cindy:

Hello new blog!
Please be patient while I find a skin for you. In the meanwhile, let's post something for your new readers!
I've been actively counting down the days left to enlistment. 22 more days to go. I dare say that I'm still not physically nor mentally prepared for NS. Many incidents have happened lately as well. I got myself into trouble and stayed as an emotional wreck for a month and a half because of my own stupidity and naiveness; but I'm glad it's all over now. During that period of time and even until now, I have come to realise that I am extremely sentimental and get attached to people way too easily. Take working for instance, I'm about to quit my current job in two days' time. Somehow, I keep getting this overpowering emotion that makes me feel depressed that I'm leaving soon. Perhaps it's because I'm reluctant to say goodbye to the people that I have just barely opened up to. I take quite a long time to get used to people before actually opening up and be comfortable with them. Sigh. Okay, I shall stop here for today. Pardon me if my english sucks. Goodnight folks!
