Our dear Serene left for London today.
I didn't cry.
Not sure if she did.
I laughed and giggled as always.
But I somehow knew it would never be the same.
She told me she'll be back on 10 December.
I'll still be in Singapore then.
I eagerly made a note in my schedule book.
There will be a party;
Celebarting both Christmas and my 19th Birthday.
Qi wasn't really herself today.
She seemed to be really regretful of her decision to do dentistry,
instead of heading to NZ for horticulture.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we were leaving together?"
Qi questioned.
I bet everything would be so different if that was so.
But there's no turning back.
Ser's in Uk.
Qi's in Singapore.
I'll be in NZ.
Read Synn Tian's blog.
Things aren't easy for her as well.
Why didn't I see that?
I must have hurt her when I mentioned anything concerning vet science.
We are similar somehow.
We hide behind our smiling faces.
Maybe that's why we get along so well.
I'm not writing a poem.
This is an influx of emotions.
Had another no-brainer work day. I'm starting to get familiar with the people working there and hence, more fun and laughters. Luncheon was spent with Colin and Steven at the staff canteen. Steven had to finish his duck rice in 15 minutes since his break only lasted that long. Alas, Colin once again surprised everyone with his humongous appetite by scoffing down a bowl of curry noodles followed by duck rice! GOSH!
Mom and wynne decided to have lunch at the airport's swenson and therefore I got to hitch a ride home as well as savoured a pistachio almond ice cream cone. Now I'm terribly famished because I just carried a 10Kg packet of rice together with some groceries back home from the NTUC across the PIE. Never knew I could be so strong until I tried. :)
" Whatever comes," she said,
"cannot alter one thing.
If I am a princess in rags and tatters,
I can be a princess inside.
It would be easy to be a princess if I were
dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great
deal more of a triumph to be one all the
time when no one knows it."
Had dinner with my work colleagues to celebrate Leannne's 19th Birthday. I must say this is the first time I laughed so hard after leaving school. Those were the days where I showcased my mad- self without any hesistation. I remember myself asking people silly questions like " How many times do you shower a day?" and playing badminton/chapteh or jogging with kim whenever most people were busy revising. Everything seems so definite and sercure. Despite the heavy work load, I enjoyed myself and every single minute was spent doing something.
I guess what I really missed is having a group of friends who goes through whatever I'm experiencing; People whom you can share your fustrated/silly/fearful/grateful moments with. Since I no longer am experiencing the same rigorous curriculum as my friends, I must admit that I feel a little left out. Stress built up inadvertantly and I was caught unaware. I must definitely enjoy every moment I have now instead of longing for the future.I'll be 18 no more in a few months time.=^-_-^=
I'm going to start working my under-utilised brain. Heading to the library later to get a couple of books to give my brain the much needed boost to bring up the plumetting IQ. My toes are swollen and numb due to the long hours of standing. Synn Tian suggested that I should go for a pedicure. Maybe I would after I get my pay. Have to purchase lots of things too so I 'll have to make wise decisions. Below is a list of things I'll like to get. "Seventeen" actually came up with a long list of must-haves but I removed a couple as they seemed useless to me.
1) Bath Robe ( I would like to get one of those Disney version that's sold at Isetan. I can't resist cute stuff !)
2) shower caddy
3)flip flops ( maybe a havaiana.always wanted those!!!don't think i'll want to wear my birks into the bathroom.My precious...)
4) Bed sheets( not sure if I should leave them out and get it there. I'm quite picky about the designs though. No tacky looking designs for me)
5) Tupper ware to use as a plate/bowl ( maybe I'll just steal one from home)
6) Pop-up laundry hamper (not sure where to get this)
7) extension cords and power strip ( maybe my dad has them. hee)
8) Hangers( think i should just get them there)
9)mini tool kit ( hope to get a swiss army knife. have been wanting those for a while.)
10) a versatile jacket
11) knit wear for layering ( saw a wide selection at Zara Trf)
The list is my motivation to work! All the way Angeline! By the way, I'll be wearing a saccharine-sweet Tutu-like dress next month. Will it be "Eck!" or "Hmmm..."? I'll try my best to post a picture of both my uniform for my friends to decide.
I'm missing my classmates. I'm missing school... Most of the people I know are already in school or are heading overseas for their school term this month.On the other hand, I'm working. I don't really get to meet up with them since my 2 days of break are usually during the weekdays. Alas, my brain is slowly disintegrating due to late nights and under utilisations. My work only requires me to stand, smile, repeat a string of words like a tape recorder and offer drinks. Rarely will I need to think since this is a job of physical endurance. I have to say that my colleagues are great people. I haven't encountered any back stabbing whatsoever(fingers crossed).Opportunely, polytechnics students are having their school break now and there are people of similar age group working there as well. I depend on them to keep me entertained. The difference between them and the friends that I have is that most of them dislike studying and can't wait to get out of school. There's this guy who can't wait to enrol into the armed force.Lest you mistook me for saying that people from JC love school and classes, you are wrong.It's just that most of us will not graduate without a university degree.Tell me if i'm wrong guys but that's what I think it is. Can't wait to have another brain paralysing day tomorrow.
