2 weeks into work.. am kinda moving along with the momentum haha.

the week started off smoothly actually. filling 2 temps a day.. but i used up my truimph cards on wed. miraculously signed a contract on thurs but zilch on today again.

the most irritating thing that couldnt have happened.. 2 pple decided to tua me by not signing contract on thursday! 2 in one day! OMG

and there was this big hoohaa in our office ytd.. something related to changing our contracts. shouldnt say much but that incident really dampened our morale and attitude towards work.. can see like everyone was pretty bochap during work ytd. it seemed that we were waiting for time to pass by quickly so that we can pack up and go home lol. but in the end everything was fine (i think)..

nothing much to say ba. really very drained. come to this page also dont know what to say..

finally the 1st week of work has passed rather smoothly (i think). didnt manage to fill temps on friday though. but liangjian and his fren jason are coming down to sign contract on monday! beams.. if everything goes well hopefully another candidate of mine wll sign contract on tues.. hurhur prays hard.

i think im settling down on this job.. it's filled with challenges and u need to set a target to serve as a motivation to work. otherwise plain sending of reseumes and interviewing of candidates can be quite taxing and lowers your purpose of working. at 1st it's pretty challenging.. it took me like 3 days to undesrtand what the hell was going on in this office in taka.

enough of work. today went down to collect the race entry pack for stanchart with the specs. and it just hit me right hard on the head that stanchart's on next sun. which means OH SHIT im so dead for it cause i havent been running ever since i ORDed. thanks to the perfect combinition of work, fatigue and plain laziness. but then again i dont really want to waste the 40+ bucks by not waking up on 4am just to hit the start point at 5+am. money is hard to earn you know.. 40+ bucks means i need to fill up like dont know how many temps a day!? argh this is getting irritating.. to run or not to run.

ok ba nothing else to write le.. it's like 1+ in the morning.. tireds man.. gotta go sleep soon!

4 days into work and i think it's real time that i shld pen down my thoughts on work so far.

as cj or chiajin has put it.. this job is fast paced and challenging. was riding an emotional rollercoaster for the past few days.. good and bad. or rather most of the times im at the bottom during the rollercoaster ride. the past 8 hrs was much better and hope that it can sustain or even improve all the way.

it has been a short 4 days but i guessed i learn quite alot of stuff. really have my mentor to thank.. she's really patient with me. i think there are many times that i let her down.. really need to buck up my stuff. but thanks to everyone around i slowly get to learn more about office etiquite and such.. and the more pple i get to talk to the more confident i get. haha..

ok nothing much liao.. need to sleep soon. it's friday tmr yes!

starting work tmr. hope everything will be fine tmr. but 1st things 1st.. need to wake up tmr feeling refreshed and not dead. my bio clock has beeen totally screwed up ever since i ORDed.. sleeping in the afternoon and feeling awaake at night. feeling horribly horrible for the past 2 days trying to wake up early haha.

visited S1 last friday.. apparently he met into an accident.. hope he recovers soon.

ok gotta sleep.. work tmr. i cant stand wearing a tie from 9 to 6+.. damn

Message In A Bottle Lyrics
» The Police

(Sting)
Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle]

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle
Oh, message in a bottle
Message in a bottle]

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle

Sending out an SOS...

shit the song is repeating inside my head now!!!!!

im unexpectedly hyper today for no apparent reason. which kinda sucks cus i can foresee mysef being very very tired the next day. and it will probably suck even more cus im going to work at GE tmr and the sian sian mood is probably going to add to my woes.

and i need to learn how to wake up early! my friends were like "are you sure?!? you cant wake up early? who are you trying to kid..." cus in camp i was famous for being the earliest to wake up, to wake the whole coy up to eat breakfast.. so on and so for. and now.. i have been waking up at 9+ 10am everyday for the past 2 weeks! OMG OMG i need to report at 9am tmr. which is like my waking up timing?! dies~

these few days have been pretty much enjoyable.. but they have officially burnt a whole in my wallet. sobs

met up with my sispec section mates last sat at breeks. havent seen many of them for quite a while.. more than a yr i think. except for liptat whom i have met a couple of times here and there around. and kelvin nik and zhenghong who are in the same camp as me. the rest.. nah. it was quite a good experience.. better than what i have thought. glad to see everyone still so fine after so long (except for winston who had family matters and shannon who had a hangover and hence couldnt make it).

had to leave earlier cus i had to meet cj ben wong and kahwee for movie. caught stardust.. quite a nice movie in my opinion. considering im not a fan for fantasy movies. but i suppose this movie is different.. not that the characters are very good-looking (in fact i think the evil watch looked really really ugly) but more of the plot. haha momentarily i got caught in my own fairytale world after watching the movie. chilled out abit after the movie before we went our own ways..

went all the way to kahwee's house just now for mj and OMG he didnt even give chance.. lost dont know how much loh. even kai zhi who wore red all the way for good luck lost horribly. tsk kahwee kahwee got home advantage win liao loh.. next time im going to win all the money that i have lost today!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

today's the day where i can really shout ORD LOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

but i didnt seem to have this exhilrating feeling lehs. when i got my pink ic it was just a moment of relief.. my 1 year 10 mths is over. no more outfield.. no more setting up of command posts (for the moment), no more ippt and soc.. and many many more. but the truimphant feeling doesnt seem to come. instead i feel a tinge of sadness as i see all my friends leave this place liddat. not that i will miss the battalion very much (note to self.. need to go back that stupid place again in dec as an NSman cus they never print out my testimonial properly), but i will certainly miss the people who has been with me. the specs, my branch people esp my dearest sean and staff barry whom i have spent undescribable experiences with together during outfield, the company in general with all the whacky pple like chinglee and the bronco drivers and of course chongyao.

the short chat with s3 was pretty touching.. guessed he would really miss the branch as a whole. shit i shldnt be turning emo i shld be very happy getting back my ic!!

on a happier note... went retail therapy after that! bought some working clothes.. ah 2 weeks to work. cj says it's tough.. fast paced and competitive. haha oh no.. sounds scary but another side of me wants to try it for myself.. hohoho wish me luck

one of my men/friends has apparently been warded to hospital for collapsed lung. reminds me of the hansheng incident. apparently when the specs headed down to sgh to visit him yesterday he was still having his 2nd ops. his mom says that people who are tall and thin are more prone to having collapsed lung than the rest. kinda freaky if you ask me. 2nd person whom i know to have suffered from this in the same year. he was very very weak after the operation and apparently the anaesthetic hasnt realy worn off.. think he didnt even know that we visited him and we actually talked to him after his ops. really hope that he can get well soon.

on a lighter note, met up with some of my sec 4 classmates at changing appetites last night.. it was a great feeling, talking about post-ORD plans and laughing and mocking at some poor souls that still have a few months to go before they get their pink IC. even though i didnt really talk much to them during the dinner (was pretty sick and was really hungry), the company was great enough and thanks jason for organising this dinner! after that some of us hung out at chijmes to watch THE MATCH of the season so far. only watch the 1st half but can actually see the powress of arsenal as they played the usual fluent and classic style of soccer and man u was obviously outplayed. but things changed in the end of the 1st half as rooney's shot deflected off gallas' hand and went straight into goal. the crowd at chijmes was like GOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL and the whole arena just roared. what a scene. tooo bad had to leave after 1st half. was pretty sick and wanted to go home and rest.

anyway, the day is coming in 2 days! cant wait cant wait :D

3 more days to getting back my pink ic.. CANT WAIT CANT WAIT. i can count using just ONE hand!

these few days pretty slack. except for the last COS that i did on wed. the DO and BOS was total killer.. combo kill. luckily i didnt kena anything. really appreciated thurs being the duty spec.. nothing to do so ended up playing winning 11 in mess. and today.. we did nth apart from dekitting and sleeping in bunk and playing more winning 11 and pool in mess before having our clearance signed.

to all those that have gotten their pink IC.. ORD LOH!
