29th August (Saturday)
Ktv with nanxin, nanda, nisa and renee at bedok cash studio.
My last visit to the ktv was way back in China when the prices were much cheaper. The ambience at cash studio was quite comfy, there were free drinks given to everyone, which turns out to be canned drinks like green tea,ice lemon tea & coke etc. We sang for a total of 3 hrs and paid $13.40 each. Songs from the 90s sang by Spice Girls, Britney, Aerosmith, Westlife, Michael Jackson were up at our list. But nevertheless, we didn't missed our try at Lady gaga's songs- Pokerface...haha,i liked the part that goes "mum,mum,mum,mah..."

31st August
My last day at work.
There wasn't alot of things i had to do.
I called less people than normal days as my workload was spilt between me and the new RO who was taking over my duties.
I received my pay today after my work ended and i met up with my boss.
After a months time of working,i'm back to the days where i would watch the time pass by while i spent it on dramas and books.
Sometimes, it gets boring...
But that depends.

Hadn't have the time for updates since my previous entry.
So here's a little update this week.
On Thursday, there was a floorball friendly with Sim blacks. After 6 long months, floorball finally reentered my life. There were months in China when i really hope of flying back to Singapore just to play the league, or maybe just doing the simple dribble with my stick.
Now, back on court, i felt how ridiculous i had played. Shots off target most of the time, passes not flat and firm enough, controlling of the ball being so rusty and inconsistent. I just couldn't grasp the momentum of the game like last time; i feel more like a machine that needs oiling in order to start up and perform.
Friday.
I love this day more than any of the weekdays. Normally, i derived my source of motivation from the thoughts that are perpetually going through my mind--"TGIF! Yay~Tomorrow is not a working day."
Just like how Napfa tortured my muscles, the friendly on thursday gave me aches. But, usually at the end of this weekday i would be rather exhausted. Most of the times, i yearn for my comfy bed so i can take a break from the long days of weariness.
Saturday.
I worked as a cashier at the annual national library book sale. There was training earlier this week hence i worked lesser hours on that particular monday. Nanda was working as a cashier too...but we weren't posted to a similar counter booth. And Pearlin worked as a packer who counted and packed the books for customers,so it actually lessen the work load we have to do. I always wanted to work as a cashier in a supermarket or somewhere,because i liked to deal with lots of cash.
Yes, but there are some disadvantages too. If we charged or gave the wrong change, we will be held accountable. So there are some responsibilities we have to bear as well. Unfortunately, i will be working for a day only. Which means i get to rest today and slack while i dread the hours come and go, and i'll be soon developing early monday blues on the start of a new day.

等待过后...
Sunday, August 16, 2009
终于接到那通迟来的电话,心里的忧虑顿也放下了。
说起来有些矛盾,我每一天拿起电话筒按下一行行陌生的号码,希望能够顺利安排其他人的面试。
但是,我却迟迟没得到我想要的那份面试通知。
每一天在工作时,我真的希望自己的手机会突然响起,即便是打错电话也行,至少我心里会好过一些。朋友接二连三收到电话,我心盼望的那家公司就是不肯打给我。一天又一天地过去,我从盼望、期待,变成失望和灰心。
正在我打从心里想好好安慰自己时,我的手机响了。我立刻停止手头上的工作,静静聆听电话那端传来的声音。哦,是个女的,她说她是代表XXX公司,也就是我日盼夜盼想要接到电话通知的那家公司!那瞬间真的很不可思议,我们竟然在电话里进行了十五分钟的“线上面试”。
没想到那段苦苦的等待始终没有白费,希望一切都会顺利吧。
等待的苦涩味虽然令人难受,但是若是少了之前的苦味,我怎么能体会到等待过后那种甜甜的欣慰呢?
——我相信奇迹会在适当的时候出现——

Can you just give me call?
I have been waiting ages and ages and yet i heard nothing from you at all.
It's pissing me off already.
To think i even put you as my first choice.
Or maybe i just failed that test and that's why i heard no news.
No.
Nothing.
Totally nothing.
I'm gone.
But still i'm praying hard right now and hoping that something would miraculously occur.

假如...
Monday, August 10, 2009
最近读了藤井树《十年的你》,但说实在的,我不是很喜欢。
小说的前半部分就在吊读者的胃口(而且不是一下下),正当故事开始明朗化,变得稍微有看头时,故事已快要结束了。身旁的朋友对它的评价也是贬多于褒,有些甚至实在读不下去。但是越是这样,我就要瞧一瞧它究竟是否值得我一看。
虽然故事情节拖拉了,我的胃口从一开始也变得乏味,但是它不是没有任何值得回味的地方。 在我记忆中,在故事里作者认为人类之所以想象那些“假如你这样,现在就不会那样”的假设是浪费心思的事,我们根本无需这么想,因为到头来这些想象是不会实现的。
这是一种理性的想法,我们应该往前看,不要回头思念挽回不了的结局。
但,我觉得这种假设想一想也无妨嘛。
假如时间可以倒转,我希望当初不会说那种伤人的话。
假如我和你提早相遇,我们现在或许会是最好的朋友。
假如我是百万富翁的女儿,我就不用在假期工作赚钱。
我们有时候会想着“假如的事”,因为我们知道这种假设是一种逃避现实的虚拟空间。
我们知道这些所谓的“假如”是绝对不可能会发生的,但我们却一直想象和期待奇迹的出现。
我们需要安抚一个个失落心碎的心,而惟有天马行空地联想那些“不可能发生的事”,我们才不会纠缠一件我们放不下的事。
哎~假如每一天都是假期,那该多好!

a day of archery and fireworks

Outing with Cuishan and Junlong.
It was archery at Hougang at 1st, but we decided to head to Suntec instead cos it was indoor.
So in the end, we had our little game of archery at the suntec outlet,called Dm Archery, if I'm not wrong.
The place was really puny-small, there were only space for 6 shooters at a time.
We paid for some team package, consisting of 20 shots for each person, which cost us $20.
But i think 20 shots is really not enough, it was kind of a cheap thrill experience for me,but i enjoyed that alot. =)

We had dinner thereafter @ Fish n Co. And we hurriedly rushed to the outskirts of marina bay to catch the NDP fireworks performance.It didn't last very long though, but watching it at such a close range was quite a fascinating experience.
After watching the last sparkle from that fireworks disappearing into the dark skies, we quickly made our way back home to avoid the large ndp crowd. I was lucky that my bus came early and i was back home in 15 minutes time.
Come to think of it, time passes in a pace so fast that i simply couldn't keep grasps it within my fingers. 1 moment i was at marina admiring the fireworks and the next moment i find myself at home.
