Seriously, i wonder if i will crumble under the upcoming pressures i gotta face once my new trimester starts, as well as throughout the whole year. I have already planned how many modules i'm gonna take each trimester and its really kinda freaking me out. But, not like i have a choice, i don't want my course to drag on forever. This whole year will probably whizz on by without me even realising it. Its gonna be 2006 before i know it! For the coming trimester, i'll be handling Performance Management and Law for Industrial (Singapore), i just pray that i'll have enough brain cells for each of them. Sigh, i wish i was a full time student...the fatigue is really getting into me.
Met up with my friends from Outram Institute recently. Gosh! Its really been ages since i last saw them. However, i was glad when we decided to meet up. Mel and Isaac came along too. But of cos..they were students in Outram Institute too. Was a really great catching up session. My friends certainly have not changed their crazy antics. Realised that Mel was thinking of going into HR too, haha! Isaac is now a Prudential Financial Advisor! Gawd! The funny thing was, we blackmailed Isaac into treating all of us some desserts at NYDC cuz of some details we weren't supposed to know, credit goes to Mel. =D I was slightly "high" that night, cuz one of them (a guy) commented that i'm looking better now. =P Aww... he's just being polite, heh!
I cannot believe how ancient i'm feeling right now, my cousin just turned 21, means i'm gonna be 23 this year... man... i'm feeling it in my bones, it feels like they'll crack any moment with any vigorous activity. Just get me a rocking chair, coupled with knitting sticks and wool, think they will suit me just fine. Just no reading glasses yet. =P

It has been ages since Ailin and i last met for a good and relaxed dinner. No doubt, we meet almost every once a week due to lessons, and will be meeting twice every week in time to come, due to more lessons, we hardly had time to really chat. Firstly, there are others around, secondly, dinners are always in a mad rush, and even though we rush, we were still always late for class. -_-"'
Anyways, we made it a point to have a yummy dinner at Sakae Sushi at Century Square yesterday, all thanks to Ailin's continuous cravings for sushi... had a really great chatting session, as it was a really heart to heart kind of chat. Was extremely tired during the day actually... but somehow, i felt energetic enough to crap around when we met. Oh yeah, tat's besides the point, the main occassion for this dinner is cuz both of us have found new jobs! Yay! It was like a mini celebration for both of us =D. Ailin is starting work at her new job today, and she's visibly excited, i'm so glad for her! And the boyfriends made a request, that we give them a treat after we get our first pay at our new jobs -_-'"
Our intention was to shop around after dinner, as Ailin was looking for a nice brooch, while i wanted to scout around for some formal wear... but we were so engrossed in our conversation, tat we realised, tat by the time we looked at our watches, it was already 9+! Holy smoke! The shops have all closed! Goodness, time really does whizz by when you are having a good time... shucks...we met at like 6+, and we have been siting there for 3 hours without realising it! Oh wells....another day perhaps =P
Although we did have some minor indirect problems between us tat were caused by others, actually i wouldn't really call tat a problem, maybe more of a "fed up" issue with classmates tat caused us to have gotten a bit fed up ourselves, we never seem to quarrel or argue for tat matter. It seems tat whenever we meet, the issue kinda disappears, and we are back to our crappy selves. Somehow, the issues either auto solve, cuz i guess tat it was really too insignificant to cause a dent in the friendship, or we actually blare out all our feelings and doubts...and the weirdest thing is...i think we always ended up apologising and laughing about the whole thing. Heh!
She's a joy to have. =D

New year celebrations had been really fun... as usual, with my crappy cousins around, it will never be boring. The best part was during Lao Yu Sheng. We wanted to make sure that we have good luck all year round, so we mixed it like crazy, and made sure that we brought it really high up... what a sight... my auntie was fretting over her floor! Not to mention, with all the chefs' marvelous cooking (all the chefs happen to be my mum's 3 brothers, yes, that's their REAL profession), chinese new years are always a blast! Goodness, i have been out of the house since the eve of new year till the end of the holidays! And i am starting to feel fatigue, as the deadline for my essays also draws nearer.
Jesper has me to thank as i became his money making machine when we went to his army friend's house on Sat, 8 of us were playing Blackjack. Jesper forked out a capital of $50, and i made $83 for him!! Haha! But anyway, that was jus a bonus, wat's important is, we had fun! Tried learning mahjong, but i gave up...guess its really not my cup of tea.
Okie, next comes my fourth Valentine's day with Jesper... well...i took leave on this day, but ended up spending most of the day rushing through my essays...as my deadline is today...yeah i know, anti climax.. but not like i had a choice... Still managed to go for a great dinner at Tony Romas though, and Jesper gave me a big surprise when he came to my door step with a new phone for me!! =D Yay!
All in all, there were tremendous loads of joy and laughter, that i really wanted the week to last forever.... but i guess, when the hols are over, reality sets in again...time to work. Anyway, i will be starting my new job on 1st March 2005... I just pray that everything will turn out well. Keeping my fingers crossed here....
Think i've never felt more tired, with all the anxiety to meet my deadlines... but i also never felt more happy i think... i dunno why... or maybe i know why...but anyway i'm feeling blissful...haha!

Yesterday was like an emotional roller coaster ride for me, i needed to inform my boss that i have found another job and needed to depart from this company. It was really hard for me to open my mouth to do so... especially when he has been a really wonderful boss, who never fails to chat with his staff during lunch, or when we are not working. He has treated me with respect, and even bothered about my opinions on certain matters. He was really easy to talk to. I was filled with much anxiety for the whole morning, before i finally plucked up my courage to walk to his office and tell him the news. Oh well, he was visibly disappointed... which ended up leaving me with a heavy heart. Now tat I've told him... i kinda dread leaving this company...
Anyway, yes...i have found my long awaited HR job. I'm really in need of this job for the sake of experience... I'll be focusing on recruitment of contract and perm staffs, which means i'm gonna be the first round of contact for candidates coming for interviews. I'm gonna be one hell of an interviewer in future! Heh! Besides tat, the biggest change for me would be the number of staff strength in this new company, 862 staffs!! My jaw almost touched the ground upon hearing tat statistic! This explains why the staff at the HR department are always so stressed up. Oh well... i guess, it will pose as a challenge for me then...
Life seems to be looking more sunny for me now, i pray that things will stay this way. =D Drats!!!! I gotta buy more formal wear...sigh... never mind, bong will pay for them, haha! =P
