Fun-filled Weekend
On Fri, met up w colls who had alr left the org. Reason for celebration - my impending departure from the company! We were gossiping and complaining about our common enemies at work, and speculating tt we will meet up again very soon, cos we are betting that there will be more resignations to come. Haha!
Had Ichiban Boshi for dinner + Swensens for dessert. In btw, went shopping at Carrefour where my coll, who lives with an extended family of 17, bought 10 packets of minced meat and 3 packets of mozzarella cheese! WAH! I think tt supply of food can last my family for at least 1 mth, considering we don't cook very often. Apparently, her family bakes their own pizza and they will hv to bake 4-5 pizzas at one go for each sitting.
After tt, T and I went counting christmas boxes on the SK Christmas Tree outside PS. Think we must hv looked stupid, going round in circles, but it was fun in a quirky sense! Cos of that delay, we managed to catch up with another fren studying for his ACCA final exams, who just ended his lesson at around 11pm. No joke man...studying 4 times a week officially (4hrs on wkdaes after work and 7hrs on wkends). I wonder if I didn't hv my degree, wld I hv the tenacity to endure through w all this? We spoke about my impending job change and all, and all present agreed tt I got a gd deal. I wonder y I need the reassurance. For those pple out there who hv yet to get yr degrees, pls listen up and go get an Accountancy degree. It pays to get 1, trust me...
Last Sat was a day of physical activity, the most since the time I went to Outward Bound, I guess? Think I became darker yet again...=( Went cycling and played at the playground at Pasir Ris Park. As I grow older, I think I am becoming less and less courageous. I freaked out as I climbed tt spiderman-pyramid structure, and gave up without even reaching half-way. I guess it was also due to this little gal who was effortlessly springing from rope to rope, seemingly without any fear of falling. Sat on a saucer-like tingie in which its sole purpose was to make its occupant giddy by going round and round. The saucer didn't even need to go fast, I was giddy from the 3rd round onwards. Haha..I was gripping the chain tightly even on the swing as it brought me to greater heights. Those were the days when everything was carefree and I didn't need to think tt much. Y has adulthood bring more fear and worries into my life...I wonder.
On Sun, went for my 1st Bible Study class. I thot about wat Pastor said about stepping out and facing our fears for ourselves and not needing to prove anything to others. Principle easy to articulate, harder to fulfil, but try we all must. After tt, had a cameo appearance in a pool tournament. Was a substitute for a fren's fren. In the end, we lost by only 2 balls. Considering I am the kind who rarely play (the last time being at Desaru), I guess I didn't do tt badly (for a female), although my sole purpose was to be the warm body to fill in the slot.
Watched Casino Royale and it was quite a bloody show. Quite nice though, that being my 1st action-packed movie. My movie choices in the past tend towards the romantic, comedy and horror genres, so this was sth new. Not a bad experience I must say. Eye candy in the form of a quite shuai (but old) and muscular guy + mei nus. Worth it to watch as well, cos it stretched to almost 2.5hrs! Had ramen w collagen soup base for dinner. Once again, reinforced the thot tt this restaurant is much better than the more commonly-found Ajisen, but for some reason it always seems so deserted.
A fren msged me yesterday to drop a bombshell revelation, but then again, she has been telling us that all along with no action. I guess ultimately it boils down to what she wants and whether she has been stretched to her very very max alr. I mean, if yes and she can't tahan anymore, I guess she can and will bear w whatever consequences tt cum with the decision. Just tt I guess she's not ready to make tt decision - the heart is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Oh well, aniwae, if only every weekend was like this..I guess I wun hv as much time once I start my new job, but well, we shall see, we shall see....=)
