It felt really good to meet up and catch up with my poly buddies again, it was indeed a valuable session to me. The 5 of us gals had a really heart to heart talk about our personal life issues. It almost seems like we have taken our friendship to an even higher level. It made us understand each other better, and i really felt glad to have maintain friends with them, even if we have graduated from poly like 3 years back. Not to mention the fun kareoke sessions we always have. I'm not much of a singer, and i can't sing for nuts, yet they never made me feel bad about it. =P

I feel tat all 5 of us have really grown up and matured over the years. This is so evident when the issues we all face in life don't seem so innocent and simple anymore. Yet we know, that there will always be this steady group of friends who be around to listen and to cry to. Not to forget, that we are really trying hard to gather at least once a month, amidst all our busy schedules. However, all the fun and laughter we have each gathering session, makes me eager for more meet ups with them. =D

Anyway, i just came back from a really comical session with Ailin at the Tampines Regional Library earlier on... It won't be as funny if i attempt to describe the scenario, so i shall just leave it at that, and keep that memory to myself, and i guess...smile to myself each time i think about it.

I can't believe how pack my whole week is, and i'm so looking forward to the long weekend ahead. Long weekend??? Hmmm... maybe not, i actually have to start slogging on my assignments. God save me! Oh man, i have to start packing my room, Ailin will be coming on Friday where we'll slog on the assignments together... oh wells... i think heck it... i have already warned her about my messy room. Heh! Never mind, I'm just looking forward to the evening, where we'll probably scare ourselves silly by watching a horror movie together, haha!

Okie, my eyes are really starting to protest now, i really gotta get to bed and get refreshed for a long day ahead ... and i have a law lecture tomorrow evening!!! But thankfully, my lecturer is really funny, my sleepiness will fade away somehow, haha! Looking forward to it!

Looking at the moody face of Autumn made me feel a sense of guilt, all because i sent her for sterilization. I know it feels terrible for her, but of cos, its after all an operation. I know that she won't be able to reproduce after this, however, this will be a healthier option, as sterilization helps to prevent her from sicknesses that dogs are usually prone to. Sigh... i won't get to see little Autumns in future.

It has been quite a number of days since i last blogged, blame it on fatigue. Seriously, i seem to be in a rush everyday, be it at work, or going to classes, gosh! I don't seem to have enough time for myself, to reflect on things, to enjoy the peace around me, to totally relax, and wat have you....It has been ages since i'm able to do nothing for a long period of time, this kinda bring me back to the days when i was in search for a job after i graduated from poly. Those days were really slacking, rotting and more slacking, besides heading down to town every other day to occupy myself of course. Probably, after some time, when i grow tired of work everyday, i will take a long break, to do nothing. Tat could be the best gift i can bestow to myself.

Oh wells... in another hours time, its gonna be her birthday. Bought her a little gift and a card. Dunno if i'm doing the right thing, but i guess its like a little something which enables me to hold on to for old times sake. She can of course, choose to dump them, store them deep into a corner of her house, or just stare at them everyday, without touching them. Doesn't matter... all i know, is tat this is just something that i wanted to do. I pray tat she will have the best birthday ever.

Hmm... i think i need a hair trim badly, my fringe is like way too long, and i really wonder if my hair is getting out of shape. Probably this weekend, i'll make an appointment with my hairdresser... time for hair therapy, or watever you call it.

Can't wait to meet up with my poly buddies this weekend, its been an awfully long time... i'm sure its gonna be a great catch up session!

Alas, a time for me to sit down in a relaxed mode for me to type out my blog. Time has been whizzing by this whole week. Everyday at work, before i realise it, its time for lunch, and again later, time to knock off, and finally, before i know it, its 8pm. Yep, i do work till tat late, but so far, i have been enjoying my work...And oh yeah, at least i'm entitled to OT pay! =D

I'm so reluctant to start classes again, which happens to be this monday onwards, oh wells...nothing i can do, but, gimme a break! Okie.. i am done with ranting it out. Hmmm... Jesper has just left my house, as he had to attend his boss's wedding dinner and yeah..be a sword bearer...how kewl is tat?! I'm sure the dinner will be extremely grand. Sadly, they didn't invite girlfriends....wth?! Wat are they thinking? Girlfriends should be invited, so tat we'll get a chance to casually remark about how busy their boyfriends have been, but of cos, its for the "good" of the country. *lalallalala*

Hmmm... i was supposed to have a dinner meeting with a friend of mine... was kinda already confirmed a week ago, but turned out tat she later made an appointment with her boyfriend... oh wells... never mind... shall have to content myself with doing some badly needed shopping, i desperately need more clothes!

I am so sure tat now, more than ever, weekends will be even more precious for me, cos tat's the only time where i can have a breather, and not move around like i'm rushing for a plane. And of cos, not forgetting, no extra work. Its gonna be difficult to get me outta the office man... okies...i gotta go bathe now, and do my shopping! yay!

Having commencing my first day at my new company today, i must say tat i have been busy. I only left office at about 7.20pm. No doubt tat there is this adrenaline rush, as everything moves in a super max speed. Its something tat i have yet to experience in my previous companies. Tomorrow is my second day at work, yet i am scheduled to brief 4 new hires already. Gosh, i jus hope tat i will have everything under control and not pull my hair out.

I was being introduced to the different departments today, as there are a number of line managers tat i have to work closely with eventually. Was kinda intimidated by the number of hand shakes alone, and the supposed number of names i had to remember, i guess i jus gotta let time assist me in the familiarisation of everybody, including the cleaning auntie. So far, the HR team seems like a fun lot to work with, i hope tat i will be able to clique well with all of them eventually...

Anyways, i'm gonna have 2 office emails... one will be under opusIT, another will be under IBM, so dun get surprised if i were to email you, using either addresses. Talking about communications through the internet, i think i was cut off from the world today....why???? Cos i didn't have MSN! Oh wells... just give me some time to get me more aqquainted with the office and the environment, and i swear, i'm gonna be in sync with the happenings of the world again!

*yawn* i'm really dead beat now... i guess tats it for now... will update when i'm slightly more energetic. =D
