School Starts All Over Again!

Strangely, this time round, I actually look forward to the start of school. School holiday was too long and not that enjoyable. Bulk of it was working as an intern. For an intern pay it is considered not bad but really. What learning opportunity was there in my workplace? I couldn’t see it at all. =(

FOC ended too. It was nice being programmer actually. Didn’t have to run around with the freshies which is a really tiring task. As a GL, the moment you open your eyes. Oh gosh, your responsibilities start! You feel like a nanny sometimes just that your kids aren’t young. However, it’s a nice experience to go through both. I got to know a few more seniors better. However, very few freshies get to know me this year. =/

I hope I can have everything pan out in time. Why did I always choose to procrastinate?

Bad idea is a bad idea no matter how you defend it. So I’m not going to defend myself then.

Finally managed to get my boss to grant me a week off for hall FOC. If not, my involvement in FOC preparation would be for naught. The only drawback is that I have to stay back a week later. So there will be no rest for me. Work lasts until the time I start school exactly... =/ I've been working every day non stop since June. (+ tuitions) Sometimes, tiredness just makes you feel like dropping everything that you're holding on to...

Met up with my navy friends. Thinking back, I was only 19 then. 4 years have passed. It sure didn't felt that long. We had talked about graduation trip. Not that I don't wish to go but I don't think I have that much money to dispense for that kind of purpose. I wish I had but to me, that amount of money has a better use.

From a really personal example I see from a friend, I realise how saying the wrong things can get people to be really irritated with you.

My friend A keeps disturbing friend B by calling him names and putting him down. Friend B feels disturbed by it and I sense friend B creating a barrier between friend A and himself. Whenever friend A does that again, he will just ignore as if friend A had never spoken a word. Ouch.

YOG buses are given really special priorities on the road. Lanes dedicated for them, special plate numbers, and other vehicles have to give way to them. Wow, sounds cool isn't it? The only problem I thought is when the actual time comes. The vehicles might not even care to give way.

In a normal situation, I was standing 2 persons away from the MRT train door at Simei. When the train doors started to open, there were many passengers furiously banging themselves upon me out to the door.

Not only did they not say any word of "Excuse me" or "Please give way", they make the "tsk" sound aloud, as if I'm purposely blocking the door. Bear in mind, I wasn't directly standing at the door front and the door has only STARTED to open.

Moreover, I'm not fat enough to occupy 3 persons' space, I really don't see why Singaporeans are doing this. How gracious can it be now that we are treating foreigners when among the locals, such basic respect and courtesy is lacking?

I can only think that there will be many cars that purposely refuse to take heed of the YOG bus unless a fine is imposed on that. Like seriously.

Still hasn't find a good birthday venue... Oh no. =(

Year 3 Semester 1 will be a really boring semester for me. What should I do for this semester other than study?
