Growing up

People change. I miss the innocent kids who used to play hide-n-seek in the school field. I miss the fun we had in school. But alas, all these are gone and we will never re-live that part of our lives again. Whatever we maybe doing now, the burden on our shoulders has undoubtedly grown heavier as we all grow older. What goes on in our mind is never going to be as simple as sweets and chocolates anymore. The time left behind for our families and friends will slowly become insignificant. I guess that is the price to pay for growing up. Sometimes, I just wish that kids will never grow up. This way, they will be happy for as long as they live.

SingPost

Today's training is at SingPost. Though it's quite far from my place, I still prefer it to TEPL building which I had my training for the past three days. Well, there are several reasons pertaining to that conclusion:

1. I only have to take the MRT when I go to SingPost, but I have to take the MRT then transfer to one of the six buses there when I go to TEPL building.

2. There are more choices for lunch and more places for me to explore at SingPost as compared to TEPL building.

3. The SingPost building looks more sophisticated than TEPL building.

But, there is one thing I don't like about SingPost. There is no one to go home with me! I think I stay the furthest from there. When we were at TEPL building, Joy always go home with me 'coz she stays at Jurong. Now, she takes direct train from Paya Lebar. I went home with the guys today. But still, I was alone after Ang Mo Kio. Somehow, the trip home made us better colleagues I guess. At least I get to know them better, especially Dave and David. Don't really talk to them during training, but I think they are nice people. =)

Joy, Joslyn, Joan, May Hui, Farhana and I were talking about boyfriends just now. We kept referring to the five guys sitting beside us. HaHa~! The discussion made me think of how my ideal boyfriend should be like:

1. Someone taller than me, but not too much taller.

2. Someone who is well-built.

3. Someone with a boy-next-door look.

4. Someone who will take care of himself.

5. Someone who will take care of me before he takes care of himself.

6. Someone who knows how to play the guitar, and sings love songs to me every now and then.

7. Someone who will love me forever.

8. Someone who is willing to sacrifice for my sake.

9. Someone who is willing to accept me for who I am.

10. Someone who is willing to think of our future.

11. Someone who is responsible.

12. Someone who is honest.

13. Someone who is willing to work hard towards his goals.

14. Someone who is ambitious.

15. Someone who will surprise me everyday with a small gesture.

16. Someone who will colour my life.

17. Someone who is willing to share his life with me, and mine with him.

18. Someone who shares my interests.

19. Someone romantic.

20. Someone fun.

I think it is quite hard to find a guy like this nowadays. Anyway, this is only an ideal. I understand that no one is perfect, and will never expect my future boyfriend to be perfect.

My 2nd aunt and cousins came yesterday. We went to town later in the evening. Orchard Road was closed from 6-11PM due to a street performance for Christmas. The streets were too packed so we went into Wisma Atria to shop. My cousins were looking for evening gowns for Christmas parties, so I brought them to Daniel Yam. I tried a black gown with a big bow. It was magnificent, but I had nowhere to wear to so I didn't buy in the end. My cousins didn't buy too 'coz I think they had already tailor-made one each. By the time we reach Yishun, it was already 10.30PM. It was until then that we had our dinner. After dinner, we led my cousins to the causeway and left. By the time I take my bath it was already 12AM. After packing everything into my bag, I finally get to sleep at 1.30AM. Woke up at 6.30AM this morning. I am so tired now. But there is ShI zI lU kOu tonight, and they are featuring S.H.E. It is the second part of their ShangHai challenge this week and I don't wanna miss it since I have already watched the first part last week. ArGh~!

Fun day out

Met up with Ee Hui, Wei Qi, Daniel, Danqing, Xian Wang and Jason this morning. Wei Qi and I thought we were late when we reached Clementi MRT station, where we were supposed to meet at 0945HRS. It turned out that the guys were later than us. Especially Xian Wang, who lives nearest to the meeting place.

We went to Bukit Timah Community Centre to play badminton for 2 hours. It was fun though tiring. Haven't been playing badminton since Sec 4. After that, we went to the hawker centre near Clementi MRT to have our lunch. After lunch, we went to play pool. 2 hours passed quickly as we had our fill of fun at the pool tables. Learnt quite a lot from the guys today. We walked to a nearby shop that sells pirated CDs after having a drink at Mr Bean. Spent around half an hour there. I bought a chinese input software and a French<->English talking dictionary. We went to Comic Connections too. Saw Fullmetal Alchemist keychains and pictorial books there. They have Tarot cards too. I was very interested in those cards but I've decided not to touch them 'coz I heard that they can be dangerous since they are considered to be evil.

Went to Causeway Point with Wei Qi later in the evening. I visited Nokia to ask them about the style pen for N6108 which my daddy lost. Too bad the stock isn't in yet and they only have the pocket stylus at the moment. We went to Hallmarks to look for Precious Moment's passport cover after that. The passport cover is so cute! But alas, it is sold out too.

Oh, saw ZuXian at Admiralty MRT on my way home just now. Hee, I like his style now. The hair is nice. The clothes are nice. His face without his glasses is nice. Everything is so co-ordinated. =)

By the way, Janice called me this afternoon to tell me that Singtel has decided to hire me. Finally, I have a job. Hee, so happy! I am going to her office at Raffles Place tomorrow to give her some things, so I might go to the Hallmarks in town to check out the passport cover. I hope they have it there. *PrAys*

Graduation Night

A Night of Elegance. Indeed it was. Everyone looked so different. Felt a bit sad when I was leaving the hotel last night, when everyone went separate ways.

Orchard Road at 12AM is beautiful. There are not as many people as in the day, and of course not as busy. The air is so cool and the place is so serene. After walking around for a while, Vanessa's dad drove me home. It was so nice of them.

By the way, they showed the result for Singapore Idol Final Showdown last night at the ballroom. Taufik won. Kinda expected him to win. He had been in the safe zone for many rounds.

Went for another job interview just now. Lost my way there. When I finally reach, a guy called out to me on his car and asked me for directions to Sembawang Shipyard. How'd I know when I just lost my way? So, I told him I don't know. When I was about to turn and walk away, he called me again to ask me if I was interested in some events where many models from all over the world will be attending. Crazy. I just told him I am not interested, neither am I free. He gave me his namecard and ask me to call him if I change my mind. As if I will call. I just took it to stop him from pestering me again.

I hate the job I interviewed for. It pays only $5/hour and no CPF contributions, no staff benefits and no everything. Worse thing is that the assignment is only valid until March'05. Which means that I will have to look for a new job after March. ArGh~! Waste my time to go there. I had another interview at Sim Lim Tower but was forced to postpone it to tomorrow because I couldn't reach there on time. All because I lost my way at Senoko. Shouldn't have gone for that interview. Hai~!

As I was making my way to the bus stop opposite the factory, someone blew cat whistle at me. I don't understand why people have to do that. It is simply idoitic. Anyway, I was only wearing short skirt and a toga top. What's wrong with that?

Daniel messaged me just now. CTG 108 is going to watch The Polar Express tomorrow at Lido. I've watched it before, but I might meet up with them after the movie. Promised to meet up with Rou Shen and Pauline tomorrow too. Rou Shen wants to get a laptop so most likely we will be going to Sim Lim Square. SiGh~! So many appointments tomorrow.
