Updates....

Updates....

busy busy busy...

i'm sorry people for not updating any sooner...hahahaha anyway, i'm at the office doing an unorthodox thing - and the camera is behind me. however, since i'm bloody well leaving this friday, i dun really give a shit.

so yeah....let's back track.

yesterday in class, my lecturer said something about exiting graciously. When you tender in a resignation, they will interview u and ask why do you want to leave etc. etc. She suggests that we don't "complain" about our bosses (although tt may well be why you are leaving) simply because, what goes around, comes around. Especially if you are going to be in the same industry. furthermore, dun carry the emotional baggage from ur previous job into the new one. It's not going to help and it'll affect ur new job. new work - new opportunities. Be fair to yourself. hahahahaha....yeah, i'm moving on.

Bosses are leaders and leaders are supposed to motivate. If a leader chooses to tear ur morale down, then he/she is not a good leader. period. move on to another job. it makes sense - we all have choice and we should exercise it. but as our econs teachers always tell us, labour is not 100% mobile..anyway, the key is to exit graciously. yeah...that kinda eased off my bitterness i've gathered in this 2 months.

so back to the everyday things. My darling mother went to market and bought some japanese mini sweet potatos. she thought they were the normal orange-fleshed ones so unwittingly put them in our porridge that sunday. To her surprise and my amusement, the porridge turned purple. Now, don't get me wrong here, i like purple colour. it's purple coloured porridge i can't stand. hahahaha....at first i was like WTH? but later on, it became quite a joke. then nat told me that she cooked rice with this kinda of sweet potatoes and they turned out purple too...hahahahaa - okay, wait here, did i just maluated nat again? *innocent smile*

and ntu called me for an interview (i was wondering why not MOE/MOH? i guess i have to be grateful at the fact that they picked me...)for my applications to the science faculty. yeah...turned out to be quite a chit-chat session...in some way, i feel like i'm "interviewing" the interviewer because i asked so many questions. oh well...it's a new school, so i guess that's why they are screening students?

yeah....to back track somemore: that day i was reading through kris's blog abt her and her sec sh times...somehow i felt like i understood what she meant. in a way, it's a "been there, done that" kind of thing. especially,the feelings when i transited from sec sch to jc. it was kind of like a test. a test to see if i've learnt from my mistakes and past experiences. like i've said many times, i never expected to find lovely friends in p19, where i found nat, and later p22-122-222. To say the least, i enjoyed my primary school, i learnt many things in my secsch but i became who i am today in my jc. Secsch seems like a missing void in my life. i have so many things to apologise for and so many ppl to ask forgiveness from. However, fate is a curious thing. somehow those who are with you and who will always be - will find u somehow. There is no need for pretenses and excuses. I'm glad i found shangyi, cindy and to a certain extent, shirmain, evelyn and joshua.

okay...so much abt reminiscing. back a week ago, i was returning from the interview and saw a cat preying on a mouse under my void deck. seriously, at first i thought, "why is there a brown mouse?" then upon closer look, i saw the cat playing with the dying mouse. took a picture..hahahaha will upload soon later. yeah...fascinating thing to see nature in action - despite being surrounded by a concrete jungle.

anyway...last friday i was a yvonne's house going through with her the nursing interview. then at the back of my head, i was thinking - where did i get all these skills from? at first thought was - yeah, maybe i'm born for these things - then the after thought was that. no, i paid attention in all those useless, time-wasting lectures. if not, i'd never had known what to say or do. hahahaha....okay, abit comes from the part that i like to act. hmm...maybe i should think about that as my 2nd career next time. oh yeah...vonk arh, i got the "dos and don'ts" and the "why not this chord" explanations le. anytime you need my help again just call me k?

so yeah...my lovely red hp died and so I sent it in for warranty. on that day of collection, i traded it in for a new one. good deal, good price, great hp....why not?plus i have double talk time and unlimited free sms when i renewed my plan....hahahaha, what more can a student like me ask for?

that pretty much sums up my week. Looking forward would be my last day at this ****** up company and the scholarship interview. i really hope they call me soon or i'll just bug the hell out of shangyi (poor thing...hahaha, thanks loads, gal for the encouragement!) and go mad soon.oh yeah...i'm performing with the band alumni and helping chris with some of his technical stuff. hats off to waideck for the AVA! hmm...so yeah...busy week ahead.

meanwhile, i think i lent someone my black pants...hahahaha, anyone who borrowed can return me soon? =P

okay...that's all illegal blogging for now. be back next week with more details!
