If I don't blog today I really have no life.
Argh, work has totally screwed up my life. I have no energy to do anything. I missed qing chu yu lan (Ch U 7.00 show) such that I don't even know yest was the last episode, I missed the last 4 eppies of Phua Chu Kang, I watched minimal eppies of Jin Zhi Yu Nie, i'm 5 eppies behind my downloads for Grey's, uncountable no of eppies behind my doanloads for Hannah Montana and
Zack and Cody, and now the TV connected to DVD recorder is spoilt, so I can't record my shows.
Oh, and I HAVEN'T got down to watching the last 2 eppies of the 10th season of Dr. Who and the 9th Season.
Every night I just want to go to bed and every morning I don't want to wake up =S I used to go online everyday, but I haven't been online in 4 days (which IS A LONG TIME)
I actually wanted to play Halo 2 (and train my nonexistant skills in time for Halo 3)the day my BTT ends, but happily, I came down with a fever and the same TV that spoilt was connected to my XBox. Now have to rely on PS, but that's okae. Can play metal slug, time crisis, bubble bobble and bishi bashi.
I feel so inclined to buy the $500 Xbox 360 from zh, but argh, 50% of my paycheck..hmm...worth it? For gears of war and Halo 3. See how I improve my gaming skills to at least avg. If it still sucks so bad theres no point. For the past 2 wks there wasn't much to do during work, have been checking mail and reading blogs for relaxation (shhh...don't tell people), so one day I had a brain wave, why not read Halo advanced combat techniques and learn on the job. But nooo, office computers blocked such websites (reason: Games), and tagboards and msn (reason: Chat). and alot of stuff as well. Oh well.
Work is ok, getting more and more busy, I don't complain I have nothing to do now, In fact,I'm not complaining. I kinda like it cos,
1. the pace is just right, prob set to be just right on purpose, but its good enough. My workload increases nice and gradually such that I don't really feel it
2. I'm learning stuff. I can use SCD and I can talk finance! futures, bonds, stocks, equities e.t.c.e.t.c. wheee. With no econs background!
3. Public service is an experience we must all experience at least once in our lifetime. haha, esp after i watched the jack neo film today, follow the law or something.
4. Met interesting people. Suddenly stuff that normal singaporeans complain about in the forum, blogs, newspapers, seem very real.
5. Temp workers here does what permanent and contract workers do (cos they seem really really shorthanded) Makes me feel important! I get to sign and initial documents! (Soon anyway =P)
Ohoh, using a normal calculator after using a sci one for so long makes me feel abit wierd. I mean, where are all the tan sin cos, brackets, ARROWS!?, delete button, and replay?! And what's with that double-0 button? But it'll be even wierder to bring my own calculator. Alr I bring my own mechanical pencil hehehe.
So...thats about all tht's been going on in my life lately. Been meeting up alot for dinners...passed my BTT (which most people do anyway). Oh, still missing states occassionally cos I keep listening to Ave Q soundtrack (I so badly want to plug into my ipod during working. I ened to multi task!) I keep thinking of the time we walked out of the theatre in Broadway at ard10 pm into times sq, which is really really pretty. of coures though this is no time to be in states when the weather is inhumane.
Ah..pmsing.
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

Back for a few days now. I miss my holidays =) Holidays in general. Once I started work I suddenly felt like the past few months were loong loooong ago. A levels, preparation for prom, prom, hk and beijing family vacations, mei coming back, new york, seemed like, history.
So far, nothing much in work. I feel odd not being allowed to multitask. Time passes very fast in work, that's for one. But I feel wierd that I can't chat, or listen to music, or watch videos, or surf the web, or read, while working, as I'm used to. I have the urge to bring my music theory or driving theory book to study =P And the people are so hardworking. They don't talk during work about anything except work. Oh well, first taste of coporate world. Makes me feel that research is more interesting though =S
Here, I quote a song from Ave Q:
I wish I could go back to college.
Life was so simple back then.
What would I give to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again!
I wish I could go back to college.
In college you know who you are.
You sit in the quad, and think, "Oh my God!I am totally gonna go far!"
How do I go back to college?
I don't know who I am anymore!
I wanna go back to my room and find a message in dry-erase pen on the door!
Ohhh...I wish I could just drop a class...
Or get into a play...
Or change my major...
Or fuck my T.A.
I need an academic advisor to point the way!
We could be...Sitting in the computer lab,4 A.M. before the final paper is due,
Cursing the world 'cause I didn't start sooner,
And seeing the rest of the class there, too!
I wish I could go back to college!
How do I go back to college?!AHHHH...
I wish I had taken more pictures.
But if I were to go back to college,
Think what a loser I'd be-
I'd walk through the quad,And think "Oh my God..."
These kids are so much younger than me."
I miss school =) That's a good sign right? It means I made full use of my school years.
New york is prob one of the best times cos in these 2 wks I really didn't care about anything, threw everything aside (of course, I'm paying dearly for it now. Driving theory is in2 wks and my piano teacher proclaimed mytheory as "worrying". =S )I had company with ppl I liked 24 hours round, spending parents money, and basically the freedom to do whatever I liked. Oh well, holidays over, back to life.
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..
