Long Weekend
Whew! 4 full days to rest and relax! The feeling was just so different even when Thursday workday just drew to a close. On Friday, I was already practically in a holiday mood. It of cos helped that I was in a general mood of happiness, albeit uncertainty.
This whole week in office wasn't very good, bcos the exodus of staff has certainly impacted on everyone. It's not so much that the workload is bothering me, but the general feeling of an identity crisis. No sense of belonging and I am always so glad when the workday draws to a close. I hope it will get better when new staff comes onboard, cos i fear that the exodus will continue after the year-end bonus.
Fridays are always fun, and last Friday was no different. We met up with our ex-colleagues and surprise surprise! Out of 10 people present, only 3 (inclusive of yours truly) are still with the company. We had a gd time chatting and catching up, gossipping about so-and-so, the next resignation, job oppor and life in general. Left for home at around 10+, 11pm.
On Sat, reached Huan's hse at around 3pm, cos I woke up late. Proceeded to finish up the task on hand b4 we proceeded to Cityhall. Had zha jiang mian and 10 xiao long baos. It's agony to eat to so much, and I hv once again resolved to eat in moderation. After all, I am getting fat around my tummy. Proceeded for drinks at BK and sent Huan to the bus stop. Proceeded to catch Death Note at The Cathay. (Side note: Death Note is a crappy show. Dun watch, unless u hv time & money to spare. Even then, make sure no other shows r worth watching b4 u watch Death Note. It's tt bad...) My 2nd time there this week. I think I will always have a soft spot for The Cathay from now on. Rushed home after the show at 2+am, cos my mum was nagging. If not, who knows what time the evening will have ended...
On Sun, woke up early for service. Went alone for the 1st time and I had quite an enjoyable time. Perhaps i felt more at ease, no need for small talk and thus, less inhibition. I guess everyone I know will be surprised by the change in me, chiefly in terms of my ability to get out of bed so early during the weekend. Guess what? I am surprised myself too. =) This week's sermon was on finding our purpose in life. I dun think I have as yet found my purpose in life, but I am a happier person these days.
Proceeded to the Metro Expo Warehouse Sale to find my parents. Bought a pair of shoes and some tops. Met YN, her sis and her mum, as well as some colleagues from other divisions. What a small world! Once again, it has reinforced tt Singaporeans have too little places to go over the weekends. Hurried over to TM after that to meet Huan and Zhen, where I was grilled in detail about what's happening in my life. Sometimes, I am just so glad to hv frens like them! It's just so comforting to be able to pour out my worries, speak the truth and not worry over what they think and they will not hesitate to say tt I am thinking too much. 3 cheers to our frenship!
On Mon, went for ktv at Marina Square. The 2.5hrs spent singing seemed to fly pass. Didn't get to sing as much as I will hv liked. Not very shiok! Haha...After that, walk around abit and enjoyed the relative emptiness of the shopping malls cos it's a workdae. Proceeded to esplanade where we visited the Library and Roof Terrace. Hvn't been here for the longest time and I still feel more refined whenever I visit the place. Haha..false illusion. After tt, caught my 1st RA show in my entire life at Cineleisure - My Summer of Love. I wasn't too impressed and I have resolved not to watch another RA show in my life again. Too much vulgarities and nudity scenes. I really don't understand how the show won awards, but then again, I am the kind who will always enjoy brainless comedies tt dun win awards but win big at the boxoffice in terms of revenue. So who's to say popular and mainstream aren't good?
Been gg out too often over the wkend, so today is for resting and catching up w myself. Sometimes I wonder if I am knowing new frens more at the expense of my old frenships. Is this a sign tt pple move on? But I don't want to...then again, it has brought to mind the striking difference in our lives and wat we want out from it. In any case, I wun think too much and let nature takes its course.
Veelo and Spinky, I hope u are enjoying yrselves in Korea now!
Greenie, I hope your eyes are ok!
Vin, I hope you are coping w yr studies!
To the rest of u whom I hv neglected, I hope u r still doing well in yr chosen arena and leading a happy life! God bless!
