Monday. Back to work. I start to dread Sundays coz Sundays = there's work the next day.Last Friday went out with BaoYue's friends and her cousins to give her a suprise birthday celebration. We sneaked into the cinema without her knowledge and said hi after the show ended. Caught Pirates of the Carribean. I had no idea it was an almost 3 hr show so I wasn't prepared for it. At about 3/4 of the show, both her friend and I dozed off for I-don't-know-how-long. It didn't help that I didn't catch the first 2 episodes and the 3 hr show started only at 1045pm. After the show we went to Cafe Del Mar and by the time I got home it was 5am. Age is really catching up. It's such a chore to be sleeping for only 4-5 hours for the past 2 Fridays/Saturdays. (Carine's birthday then Baoyue's birthday).

It started with my building having a fire alarm round about late morning. Everyone assumed it was a false alarm. Then came the heavy rain in the afternoon, I could hear the howling winds from INSIDE my office. Everyone looked at each other and then tried to resume working as though nothing had happened. When we were out for lunch, we saw ambulances and fire engines downstairs our building. This means that the fire alarm wasn't a false alarm. Apparently a Japanese restaurant located on the ground floor of my building had a minor explosion. It was such a commotion and the entire place was sealed. My old building is really falling apart.

Today's my 2nd day of work in this new company. So far so good, I am ok with the work because I am at least learning something. Within 1 hr of being in the company yesterday, I was given 2 pieces of assignment which needed to be submitted on Wednesday. Towards the end of the day, my boss came to me and asked me how's the process of the 2nd piece of assignment when I am not even half done with the first! I am the minority here. The company is full of Indians and Sikh. Not only that, most of them are IT or engineering trained. Help me. Today when I stepped into my office at 9am exactly, the company was more than half empty. People started strolling in only close to 930am. And they left at 6pm yesterday. I left at 610pm and again, more than half the office was empty. Amazing working style here.

My dad seriously has this thing with Girls and Pink. I left my PINK waterbottle under my desk in school after the last paper. Guess I was too eager to leave that's why I left it behind. I told my dad to get another one for me, which he did from Tupperware. He insisted that I have to get the PINK one because he thought it was 'nice' and bought it without asking me which colour I preferred. Pink equates to girls for him - stereotyping at work.Last Friday went for Carine's 21st birthday party. It was one hell of a night for me. Tell me, do I have the P-U-K-E O-N M-E kind of face? My friends (the gang, with the exception of Kenneth) all need their turn to do pull that stun on me. Apart from that, I am sure Carine enjoyed herself but we missed our fish soup though! =) ALSO, thanks to Carine's boyfriend who allowed me to send myself home (literally!)

The past few days of being able to do what I like is great. Yesterday went Mambo with the CheongSam Ladies together with Bao Yue and her friend. It was crazy. The six of us were JUMPING and singing along with the songs played. There was this guy who was dancing on the podium while having a cigarette on his hand. Lynnette told me to check out the t-shirt he was wearing. The slogan on the front of his t-shirt was "The Lord is my Shepherd" while the back read "Amen". What a bad testimony and why would anyone even wear that to go clubbing?!I am terrible with drinks these days after abstaining from it for too long a period. I used to hold my liquor really well but last week after some beer I needed help from Lynnette (it's only me who takes care of her, never the other way around) and last night after a few drinks I was high. Like they say, practice makes perfect... =)Not forgetting, when we were on the dance floor last night, SU Yong Kang and this other HK actor (don't know what's his name, but acts quite often) were dancing behind us. We were so close that I could practically FEEL Su Yong Kang. We all thought they looked good, but then again, under the lightings in Zouk, anyone could look good...

Today I weighed myself and realized that I lost 2kg after just 1 week of crap. Perhaps I should have waited another few days till I get my ideal weight before leaving! Anyhow, an MNC called me yesterday morning to ask me to go down for interview today. They told me they will contact me within this week to let me know if I am selected. Within 2 hours they called me to tell me I was offered the job as Public Relations intern. Praise God. I will be starting work on Monday.

TODAY I RESIGNED (after 7 days).
I was on the 7-3pm shift today. By 2.30pm, I walked into my boss’ office to tender my resignation. The look on his face when I passed him the letter was priceless. He tried his best to hold me back by offering me ANY positions I ask for and persuaded me to keep the resignation letter. Whichever departments he offered me I shook my head and just thanked him nonetheless. I am beyond sick of that place.
RELIEVED.

All I do at work everyday is to "be a face" at the lobby for 8 hours, saying good morning/afternoon, sir/mdm.At work for only 4 days, but been in my big boss' office for 3 days to talk to him about my job.Both my direct superior and her boss have been taking turns to talk to me everyday to try to make in stay in this job.I am simply not happy with this job. Period.Was at Phantom of the Opera last Thursday. It was magical! The set was fantastic and the transition from one scene to another was amazing. It was such an experience watching a mega production.

Yesterday was the first day of my internship at Meritus Mandarin as Guest Services Personnel. Spent half a day trying on my CheongSam uniform. I was bored yesterday, and am still bored today. Today I am supposed to be on attachment in different departments to see how they work. Currently at the business center now. They told me they have nothing for me to do, so told me to surf the net. Bloody bored.

My exams were finally over yesterday. Even the air smells better after my liberation. I slept well for once last night - in a long while. I woke up feeling good this morning, knowing that time is in my hands. It's fantastic being able to stone in front of the tv, laptop and just do brainless stuff.Like what Lynn said, IVLE can go hibernate, no more climbing up that gravity defying slope to catch the bus and writing of essays for the next 3 months!

It has been raining for 3 consecutive nights at 3am. This means I have also been forced to get up at 3am for the past 3 nights to close the windows at home. As if my sleep hasn't been broken enough by weird dreams.Last week I have been dreaming about people I know either dying or entering the hospital. This week I have been dreaming at least twice of me telling my pals that I have to sit for a math paper and I was super worried about it because I haven't been practicing it for eons. Apparently my phobia towards math hasn't lessened with time!2 more papers to go.
