//weather is turning better-for the moment//

Class bbq was good.
Everything was organised and no dilly-dally-ing
Haha...and food was edible and nice.
No regrets that I went =)
Topics of the day were finding jobs and driving tests...
Wow...what a change from last time...
No one talked about A levels, Uni, faculties...
I wonder if a change of environment and going into separate paths has made us cherish other people more

//blessings from the weather//

23-25 Dec: Student Kenshu(camp)
An experience like never before.
"Thrown face"countless times during that short 3 days.
But maybe that is not a bad thing after all.
We can learn from our mistakes so as to handle the same situation better next time.
Hmm..all those mistakes made are attributed to the lack of preparation on our part.
That's why the group cheers are so sian that nobody in our group felt like cheering while other groups' cheers seemed so special and unique.
That’s why I stuttered in front of so many people during the intro to our group performance on fun night. (btw, I got the script only about half hour before our group's turn)
That’s why I fell down on the muddy grass as I was turning round and round, with my head on the stick during the "survivor" game.

Tired…super tired…slept only 3-4 hours each day of the camp
But it's nice to know some Malaysian student believers better =P
Though sleeping time was sacrificed.
By the end of the last day, I was so tired that I couldn't feel reality.
People around me seemed so unreal…like I’m in a dream.
Scary right?
But I really tried not to doze off during Buddhist lectures.
Well…learnt quite a lot.

Compassion is to help people that you know to make the right judgment and not to pretend that you never see anything when people do something wrong.

Among the many paths of life, which should we take?
Buried in the many troubles in life, what should we do?
Nobody can give anyone a satisfying answer.
Instead of praying for good grades and getting what you want, we should actually pray sincerely for the wisdom, strength and willpower to overcome the difficulties in life and find the path that will really suit us.


Work is getting less stressful everyday…
I guess once you get the hang of it, you won't keep thinking of slacking at home.
However the down side is that, you have less time for TV, blogging, contacting friends, replying people etc…
Everyday, joining the morning rush really makes me feel at least 6 years older.
Like I’m working permanently…for people working in the same company, doing the same old thing forever…how can they managed it?
Work is so boring that I think I will keep job-hopping when it's time for me to join the morning rush permanently.
Well…I guess excitement comes when you see people when you least expect it.
Like mr potato chua chatting in Chinese over lunch with a lady at the food centre you frequent during lunch.

Or the elderly man who calls himself "national treasure" in the video you watched on the eve of national day in school. (The multi-tasking busker wearing clogs, juggling florescent green tennis balls and blowing a harmonica, all at the same time….And I almost banged into him! For his superb entertainment, he earned my $1 = )

Or when you were thinking " why is this person wearing shades indoors?" Then, your jaw dropped when you realise it is Fiona Xie smiling and walking into the office like a common person.

//bit of rain//

haha. see see! I also got my own virtual pet!
Feed haro with bamboo, thanks!
There is just too much to blog about, from attending my cousin's wedding in malaysia to my job.
But i've been too busy and lazy =X

Just like i've said, our camping group is just going to fall to pieces.
I can't co-operate with my co-leader because he is too arrogant and nonsensical.
Two members already dropped out.
The mentors talked to us today and I had to wait 1hr plus at the mrt station after my work for them to arrive.
Then they just beat around the bush without pinpointing anything.
Why must people be afraid to say what is wrong?

The trip to malaysia was a nice break even though I had to take 4 days' no-pay leave.
I was one of the "jie mei" accompanying the bride, since my cousin did not have any bridesmaid.
It was easy, and I earned a hongbao in ringgit. Basically just follow the bride everywhere.
At the banquet, food was not bad, but when can they ever stop engaging karaoke singers to entertain us?
It seem to be a trend there.
I have nothing against it just that someday, it'll just break someone's eardrums and render him/her deaf.
The next day, it off to A'famosa, a short route from malacca's city centre.
My uncle got free "bungalow" chalets for a night and cowboy town tickets.
Next morning it's shopping at malacca city centre.
The road was too bumpy and my aunt vomitted at the roadside halfway...well i definitely agree! Sitting in a car makes me feel like i'm on some roller coaster.
Then, my sis was looking for a pair of shoes.
Strangely, all the shops sell the same few designs at practically the same price.
What do they earn???


Ok, though my work is oh-so-boring because i practically key in ticketing numbers, costs and customer details by the same procedures everyday, still look forward to it lah.
Or else just stay home and slack is so bo-liao.
Some more no money to spend.
Actually i'm just looking forward to my first pay cheque. haha.
Now I also take calls, give forms to people who come in for interviews, photocopy stuff, and find invoices and send it to other departments.
At least can walk around so my back does not ache.
In the morning, I look forward to lunch break.
After lunch, I look forward to tea break.
So nice...all those airlines send cakes to us...or boss lady will buy something =)
Wonder how long I can last in this company.....
After tea break, I look forward to going home.
Shower.
Dinner.
Tv.
Watch Doha games or online.
Sleep.
