Busy Week

It’s been a pretty busy week, both at work and out work. Let’s run down what I did from Monday.

Monday

I attended the Naturally 7 Acappella workshop at Esplanade Recital Studio with Royston, and boy it was great. I feel that my 16 bucks was worth it, they thought us to make sounds from different kind of instruments and they were awesome.

I went dinner after that with Royston and catch up on ITP and some ‘plans’ that we had for our dying club. But oh well, let’s see how things go aite.

I met up with Romeo before that too, catch things up, eat Satay and our little holiday trip next year. Exciting isn’t it. But I don’t think my mum wants to go. Hahakz. We actually thought of me and my mum visiting Philliphines next year when I graduate and Romeo could be our tour guide there and we could stay over at his place. A very budget holiday indeed. See how things go.

Tuesday was meeting up with Andre to watch our dear Jia Yu’s vocal competition over at her school. She was great, a wonderful improvement and I’m proud of that aunty. Her mum was there too, and I am sorry that I was tired, but I really enjoyed her performance. Andre and I talked about a lot of things too and I really had fun catching up and just feel like the old days where I will go like everywhere with him. And just talk and talk and talk. He is going NS soon. Oh I will miss you! But don’t forget the weekends okay.

I am really thankful to have great friends that really do appreciate and love me for who I am. It is easy being around them, oh well, I love my friends. They make the world go round.

Wednesday was spend with Odie. We went to his job interview at Holland Village and he got the job. I am so glad. And he is too, and I know you love me for finding that job for you. I am really happy that he got himself a new job. Then we walked down to his childhood place at Commonwealth. Things were really old and I enjoyed my time there, with a great company. We had dinner at Macs which was classy. Time was pretty short then, it passed very fast and then we decided to head home.

Thursday was a simple meet up with How Jia Yu. We talked lots again, talked about all kinds of things. My middle name is Evil and I will always be evil. Hahakz. [You know what I am talking about right Jia yu?] Okay anyway there was a lot heart to heart talk, about life, relationships, how much each of us has grown and at the end of the day, how much each other is struggling through difficult times right now.

Friday, which was today was a simple day out with my colleague, May, to get a card for another colleague that has just given birth to a baby boy. We had prata for so called ‘tea break’ walk around TM and then head home.

Work has been pretty fine, I am busier each day, fulfilling errands and personal favours and things like that. Today I knocked off around 10 mins later than usual and I am proud of it.  Hahakz.

I can totally see what working life is, the difficult part of it. The crisis that a company can through and all. Life is really tough for the people there, and I really do share their pain.

Oh well, another weekend to look ahead. I am heading gym tomorrow! And I am kinda excited to be healthy. Hahakz. I have a gig audition tomorrow too. Hope it will go well. Sunday will be out with clique 6 and then comes Monday again.

Another 3 more weeks to end of ITP.

Saturday

Yesterday was saturday and was well spent. I’ve been wanting to spend one whole day with Odie, and so I got it. =)

We started the day with a breakfast at Tampines Medium Mac. Had hotcakes which I’ve been craving for so long. Then moved on to Expo for Adidas Sale. Oh my gosh, the sale was kind of crazy. I ain’t a fast shopper so I didn’t manage to grab the stuff that I want. Hahakz. We grabbed quite a few stuff, sat in the middle of the hall and contemplate on which items we should get. Odie grabbed so many pair of shoes, didn’t buy any in the end. I grabbed a bag, a few tops and a jackets too. But I didn’t get any jacket cause the one I wanted was gone. I only wanted it cause I saw a girl sitting across me wearing it. But dearest Odie didn’t manage to find it for me, but oh well, it was sweet of him of even rushing through the crowd to find it.

We left the place, with Odie getting a jacket and a t-shirt [which he grabbed one for me too]. I got two tops which I contemplate very much about it and the other t-shirt. And guess how much I spend… 90 bucks!

I was so disappointed for pouring out that kind amount of money, that I wish I didn’t buy anything. Now my bank is closed to dry up and thinking about my pay, I don’t think I will get my ITP pay any sooner cause the company is a mess, and then even if I work for duck tours again, I will only get the pay in May, prefebably after my birthday. So I think I will be only rich in May, and guess what, when school reopen, a lot of money needed for those rubbish notes and stuff. Haiz. I shouldn’t have spend!

Ok, two big spenders cannot go out together. Hahkz.

Next, we headed for a swim! It’s been 9 years since I touched the pool, and we actually wanted to go to Wild Wild wet. But then it was closed for a corporate event, so we decided to go to Tampines swimming complex. It was just an hour in the pool and the sky was going to pour, so we went off as soon as possible.

We headed to E-Hub cause actually Odie wanted to signed up for the Nebo membership thingy, so that he can get discounts for many many things. But in the end, did not get the membership. Lol.

We checked out E-Hub, and there are actually a lot of things that you can do there. Wish had more time there, but we got to go to Tanah Merah to meet SPSM babes. Hahkz.

We were the latest to reach, it was a gathering to celebrate one year of SPSM existence. It is a self declare club. Lol.

After dinner at Simpang, some of us were tempted to go for a karaoke session at Cash Studio across the street. Membership was super cheap, 2 bucks only but there wasn’t any room at the time were we there.

So we headed back to the MRT station and say our goodbyes.

I was very very tired. But I had a great day!

Today, I slept alot, I woke up at 12, eat my lunch, watch tv, go  back to sleep again and now here I am blogging.

I promise not to spend this week, and the week after and so on and so forth. I cannot afford to spend anymore. Shall only have cheap food and less going out.

Okay, so now I am off to do other things. Chiaoz people.

Work work work

Woah, I never feel so busy at work. Haha. Today was a good day. My supervisor really occupy my time with things to do. I just borrowed a few books yesterday to fill my time today and then he gave me quite a number of things to do.

I am really glad he was happy at work, despite all kinds of problems and that I feel happy cause working with him is great. He did add in a little fun like knocking my head when HE actually got the photocopier password wrong. Lol. It’s so his fault.

Judy and Azali have been so helpful. And I realise there are like the only ones I really dare to talk to. Say lim, May together with Dean are my lunch buddies. Great lunch breaks with them too. Especially Say Lim. I feel like I am talking to my friend. Haha.

May has been like a sister? Yah, she is new but I feel better telling her things.

Okay why am I like evaluating each of them? Haha.

What else? Hmm, yah I just feel good at work, but tomorrow Judy will be on holiday till next Monday. She will only come back on tuesday. Leaves me alone. Azali is going to take half day for the next two days. Oh my God. I really hope I won’t feel bored. And they are the people I really depend on when I don’t know who to give the letters to. Means I got to turn to my supervisor lor. Hope he is not in a bad mood for the next 3 days or so.

Yupz, I think I kind of decided to go back to Duck Tours, to earn money. So I guess I got to upgrade myself, read more about the things around Singapore River. I think I will like be a newbie there, haha, so blur and everything. See how, have not really decide yet.

Actually I just want to keep myself occupy. So that I will eliminate all those unnecesary thoughts.

I am going to attend an acapella workshop with Royston this monday! So excited about it. I always wanted to go, but didn’t know anyone that will be into this kind of things. Haha. He is really my poly singing buddy.

Ok, exam results tomorrow. We are actually able to check tonight la. I am so kiasu that I am going to stay up tonight and receive a sms on the results and see it again on the SAS at 10.30 am tomorrow. I really hope this semester’s reuslts will be good. I know I studied for it!

Hmm, okay I am missing bejeweled already, so I am going to play it now.

Dunman Choir

I went back to choir just now with Andre and Jiayu and firstly, it’s really good to be back to Dunman. Although the school has changed so much, I feel so much at home when I was at the new block [presently old block]. Yupz, there’s where my class used to be. At the top floor, every morning I will walk up the stairs either with a friend or by myself. Miss those moments.

The new AVT was totally huge, twice as big as the previous one. So all the old memories in the previous AVT were all gone, but nevertheless hearing the choir making beautiful music certainly reminds me of the time I was still singing. But things are different as Mr. Toh doesn’t really scolds them harshly like he used to be. And I can see that it’s a whole lot better.

Well, it was a very pretty coincident that the choir was going to celebrate Mr.Toh’s belated birthday so we went back on the right day! Yay us.

I feel so much better being able to be pretty much like myself when I was there, I guess I really miss the times there.

It’s been 3 years since we graduated and how time flies! It’s already 3 years.

The day ended with a monopoly game on Ms Yeo’s Iphone. It was great, but we had to leave cause Jia yu has to leave for her opera performance.

I went back, thinking of what I should have for dinner, then decided to just hit the neighbourhood library to pick up some books to read at work. Well, I am really thinking of ways to get through the 5 more weeks in the company so yes, I picked up a couple of books and on the way to the interchange, I saw Uncle Azali. He was going to pick up his son from his niece’s place. I went to buy macs then, and headed home.

Switched on the tv, watching 13 going on 30 now. I’ve never caught the movie ever since it was in the cinema. So yea, catching it now.

And suddenly there’s so many things I want to do.

1. Play bejeweled on facebook and set a new highscore
2. Read Cleo that I just bought
3. Admire my new notebook and wonder what I am going to do with it. [I still have tonnes of notebook not use and I am just adding another one]
4. Mark down my plans for the coming week in my notebook
5. Blog about today [I guess I am going to get this done]
6. Talk to my mum
7. Finish reading Paulo Coelho’s “The Zahir”
8. Fill up my diary with all my thoughts and feelings
9. A good sleep

And admist all these, suddenly I feel so carefree, like I am alone and being myself!

I think this is really a good start of getting my old self back.

I hope I continue to be on track.

The Surprise Visit

At 10pm today, Andre and Elroy gave me a surprise visit at my doorstep. I knew that only the two of them would be crazy enough to come to my place at 10pm.

I was so shocked, and very very glad to see them. I mean, it’s been long since I saw Elroy, and some things do never change. We were like the 3 kids back then in secondary two spending most of our time with each other, yelling and screaming and also having the most fun.

We went for deserts at 85 market place and then came back and sing some karaoke on the kaaoke party website. Wished they could stay longer, but Elroy was tired already, he needed sleep so they left my place at 2am.

It’s a great surprise, though no occassion at all. And it’s just what friends will do. So sweet of them. =)

Stumbled

I stumbled onto a website, a senior of mine that I shall not name. I have been reading his hardships into taking a responsibility of his family since his mum was ill. And today, I read his blog and got to know that his mum has gone for a better place.

It sets me thinking that it must be really hard for him, since he now has to take full responsibility of his life and being a big brother to his sister. And he is still in NS. Oh my god. I really cannot imagine if I am in his place.

Losing a mum is something that I cannot ever imagine of. I am thinking right now that I’ve been living happily for the past 18 years and wonder when is my hardship is really going to come. It’s not that I wish for it, but I just wonder when will I face it. Is it the time when she is gone too?

I really hope not. I have to be strong in any circumstances now so that I will be prepared when that day comes. For now, I choose not to think about it cause I fear of it very much.

I really have to be thankful to her, and let her know that I love her. It’s still the hardest thing to express my love for her, cause she never expresses hers. But I know she loves me, and I hope, she knows that I love her dearly too.

I love you Mum.

Unhappiness

‘No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.’
- Paulo Coelho; The Zahir
