a new adventure!


07/05/10: finally finished my last paper. !@#$%. peers finished their exams like 1 week before i ended mine. spent entire day shifting out of hall. made like a gazillion trips to and fro room and car. reached home and realised i forgot to return the damned room key. horrors.


08/05/10: all that stuff shifted out of hall had to end up somewhere. assimilated them within acceptable standards into the house. spent slightly over an hour washing the car only to have the rain pour down when driving to the airport to send the new zealand gang off.

a friend: they 3 months new zealand leh. shiok.

me: i also 3 months. shiong.

09/05/10: climbX event. loved the routes. expected nothing less from the route-setting guru. first time competing in a climbX even though i'm an alumnus from the school. nostalgia..

10/05/10. start work at 9am. peak hour jam. got swamped with company operating procedures and acronyms. visited 3 sites in the afternoon. 1 construction site wear long sleeve leather shoes (office wear) chiong sua over muddy terrain. sweat like a pig. 2 shopping malls walk until leg shag. ma chiam shopping except i'm shopping for building defects and maintenance issues. unpaid OT for 30mins. peak hour jam. end of first day at work. prelude to working life?

i learned a lot though and saw the world from an entirely different perspective. really appreciate my superior for being warm, sincere and down-to-earth. want to absorb everything like a sponge.

writing all these down in singlish once in a while feels good.. no need for overly uptight grammatical correctness.. educated singaporeans should be able to code-switch between the 2
