Settled

Day Two and I am very much still in a touristy mood. LOL. Guess this cant be help since it had been my holiday destination for quite a while. Mr P had been trying his best to get me settled down and let me be comfortable as much as he can. This would have to take a while and I will try my best. It's a psychological switch that I have to do. As much as I would like to feel comfortable and all at ease, calling another place home is kinda an undescribable feeling.

Spoke briefly to mum and dad on both days. They are not taking it easy and are trying very hard. T_T

I dunno how.

One way ticket

In less than 6 hours, I'll be on the plane. I am in a rather touristy mood right now and I'm not sure if this is a good sign. Managed to stuff everything (almost) and as for now I'll just have to keep my fingers cross that the luggage bag would not burst open in transition.

Thanks to everyone who made their trip down last night =). It's such a nice thing to be in long talks with you guys, filled with laughters and all. It's so crazy how we went on and on with all those senseless jokes but I'm darn sure everyone had a good time. Rem the time when Shan came to my place dressed as Darth Vadar? LOL. How unforgettable was that. Suddenly, I feel like having a PJ party.

Waiting for MM to be home. Not sure if I can fall asleep tonight. I've try not to think of this negatively. Everyone will still be part of my life, just that the frequency of contact would decrease. As and when I feel like it and when I am missing home, I'll be back.

Side tracking, I am rather baffled at how some had responded. I can differentiate the demeaning looks that some had from the harmless jokes of riding elephants and such. Do not have to tell me that I am ditching a safe first world country for sthg worse off. I dont give a damn about this. What makes you think that your life in this lego world would be more colourful and meaningful than mine. I havent started mine yet, but I'm sure my retirement is coming before yours. You are just a material girl in a material world. Sucker ass.

Last weekend

Last weekend in Sg was spent with my group of couz. Had lotsa fun and laughters with this crazy lot. Thanks lots to all, especially to MM for organising this short getaway. I suppose everyone had lotsa fun too. It had been quite a while since I had last squeezed on a bed with 5 others. And how much fun had that deck of cards brought to us. LOL. Having you guys in my life is a blessing, and to be able to share so much happy moments with you guys is such a wonderful thing. Pics pics pics!!!



























Had been busy meeting people for lunch/ dinner and getting lotsa free farewell treats. LOL. No matter how much time had slipped, it's kinda interesting how chemistry and dynamics of relationships stay unchanged. The V girls are still as crazy as ever. In my sec and JC days, I had spent so much time with this group of girls that they took up a huge chunk of my memory space.

Received my first farewell card from my 2 BFC buddies at work on friday. How sweet. Work in SLA sucked and bored me so much that I would have left earlier if I am not moving to Th and I constantly rant about how much of my youth had been wasted in this 1 year and almost 9 months spent. These 2 BFC buddies had made work in SLA much more interesting. Really =). I'll miss the gossiping and all.

3 more nights.

It's my last week in Sg.

Final countdown!!!

Past few days were fantastic. Had a very enjoyable time lazing around doing nothing. How nice is life ~.~

Just 2 days of not working and I felt like I have rested like... forever! *Muacks* How work has drained my energy! And now... I feel charged up! Keke... at least my dark rings seem to be vanishing. Was packing my stuff for the past few days and by this afternoon, I'd managed to empty out my cupboard. My clothes were packed into this mega size luggage bag. From now on, I would be getting clothes from it. The rest that are meant to be posted would be sent on Monday. Didnt take that much time packing up though. Actually it was quite a breeze, unlike the time when I was returning from Sydney.

And... I've bought my tix! The departure date is fixed. Feeling rather excited, anxious and filled with lotsa anticipation. Time's kindda tight though.

Attended baby Daryl's first month celebration. It's so surreal seeing your childhood friend with a baby in her arm and being a mom. We seem to have skipped a step in life, I dunno wat but something seem to be missing.

First day

*Yawn*

So happy to be lazing at home while the rest are slogging. MUAHAHAHA. Evil or what. Anyways, I hereby proudly welcome myself to the life of a bummer. Wasnt in the mood to update this space cos I was rather busy at work clearing shit and passing on shit. So yea... now, I'm finally a free bird.

Just got back from a R&R trip with my family. That was sort of an appetiser to my current bummer lifestyle. Had plenty of sun, sthg that I had been missing out for quite a while. While lazing, dad blurted that this would probably be the last trip for us as a family, as in not in it's extended form. It's amazing how married couples get through this phase.

Some pics from the sunny island =)


























It's National Day tomorrow! Well, no difference for me cos everyday is a public holiday for me now. *Gloats*.

Just some out of the blue thoughts, the announcement of putting Pearl Bank on sale so close to National Day seems to me a very ironical arrangement. Quoting URA's description of Pearl Bank, it's "one of the pioneers of high-rise, high-density living in Singapore, and continues to act as a landmark in the Outram area". Well, soon it will be gone. I'm not a conservation expert and I do not know how the government can play a part in saving this fine piece of work and intervening this private transaction. But in a country where government intervention is nothing, I think there's a way. I've yet to thought of one cos I'm not Mr Mah. But well, think the National Library, Oasis, Pearl Bank and Golden Mile. My now ex-boss told me once that the planners in URA have been trying to get rid of Oasis and Golden Mile for years cos they are hedious. *Screams*. Golden Mile evolves into what it is today without any form of intended intervention. Think Golden Mile. Now think Chinatown and Little India. Are the planners blind?

Can someone knock some sense into these Martians?

Last but not least

This week being my last complete week in the office, time seems to move extremely fast. This is largely due to a rather unsmart move by the management for me, as a leaver, to cover the work of my colleague (who's on a rather long break and will not be back before I leave). To cut things short, I dont really have time to do my hand-over list (which surprisingly is getting longer and longer and longer) and it's simply inefficient for me to get to know cases, pick up the scraps, do it but cannot finish it and then passing on the shit to someone else who will then hand it back to the officer. Anywayz... 2 more days to go!

Mdm is happy cos Mdm is in a holiday mood. Mdm is so looking forward to my short getaway (and my last day of service)! Whoever is/are unhappy with your job should just quit. Mdm here is a bummer's advocate! Think of this... spending 8 hours every day of your life in the next 40 years stuck in an office (which is most likely to be located in a building with SBS). How sad is that.

NOW, think of the green fields and the blue skies.
