The only reason that i figured out for attending the Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony was to be Officially declared as an NUS student. lol. It was,overall quite fun(except for the orange and blue balloons that flew down cos some stupid fellow started bursting balloons)
Went to sell flags in bedok yesterday(it was allocated so we didnt have a choice)fun but tiring. heee.
collected my ez-link card- it was a good workout.
1st stop: Yusoff Ishak House OSA:
"Oh, replacement of ezlink is at lvl 1, but for freshmen not here,its at University Hall."
2nd stop: University Hall (Tan Chin Tuan Wing)
"Oh, its at Lee Kong Chian Wing, not here."
3rd stop: University Hall (Lee Kong Chian Wing) Registrar's Office
"Oh, its supposed to be at Yusoff Ishak House. Who told you to come here? (in a not-so-friendly tone)"
So we went all the way back to level 1,yusoff ishak house.
PS- we were on foot for the entire journey.sweet.
Lucky me, i got my ezlink, pcl made a wasted trip cos his was unavailable till tmw.

HQO
5 days of Home Quarantine-
The guy who went to butter factory without declaring apparently has no idea what social responsibility meant. Business camps and ours were forced to break cause of this fellow. How perfect.
1. Sleep
2. Eat
3. Facebook
4. Play games on facebook
5. Watch movies via the net
6. Listen to Music.
7. Sleep
8. Eat
.
.
.
List repeats itself.
UGH. 2 days of camp in exchange for 5 days of HQ is not funny. at all.

Scene 1:
Car honks, rush of footsteps. I wake up to find myself lying in the middle of a cross junction.
Scene 2:
Lapping of waves, chirping of birds. I wake up to find myself lying in the midst of an empty field near a beach.
Scene 3:
Cling clang of dishes, engines of bus sounds. I wake up to find myself lying on my bed.
The 2 days of camp seemed almost surreal.
"The dark lord got killed by H1N1."
Very funny.

FREEDOM!
I'm finally saved from all that shrewd office politics! Although that means zero income from now onwards, at least I no longer have to face those ugly people (at heart). It was totally revolting to see how everyone speaks to the new comer with such great respect. (Just because she is seemingly rich) GAH!
Getting refreshments isn't much of a trouble, but at the very least, perhaps you ought to thank the person for walking all the way down orchard just to feed your cash cows. That day over the lunch table- call it the appreciation lunch or whatever, they were complaining that the company's cash cows were of such high maintenance- so where does that leave me?
Cash cows= high maintenance, me buy food for cash cow, so me= LOW MAINTENANCE?!
Nice.
Oh forgot to add that the above only applies to some within the office- At least I know of a few nice decent people that you can be friends with.
There was this girl that I always had the impression that she has an attitude problem because of her "I don't care" face. Yet when I dropped by the counter ytd, she remembered that it was my last day and said," We'll miss you." There was this sudden strange feeling that hit me, which left me wondering whether my rashness in judging someone has perhaps blinded me from truly knowing the person.

Magician in the office.
10.45AM IN THE OFFICE :
Packed my table clean and neat, headed for the pantry to refill my bottle.
10.46AM IN THE OFFICE:
Back to my workstation- WHOA! 3 big carton boxes sat on top of my table,piling, smiling & seemingly mocking. That's just fabulous, totally occupying my entire table. There must be magic in the office- you know 1 min, 3 cartons just appeared out of nowhere!
10.48AM IN THE OFFICE:
I peered over the glass partition and saw my colleague 'happily' smiling at me- I kinda figured out who the magician was & smiled back.
10.49AM IN THE OFFICE:
Magician said, " OH urh, these aren't urgent, really. but well just try to get it done by monday when the new girl comes in. ( FYI it was already Friday)
ATTN- IF YOU ARE DESPERATELY DESPERATELY SEEKING A MAGICIAN WHO KNOWS HOW TO PERFORM TRANSITION- BE IT CARTON BOXES OR OTHER OBJECTS, LOOK NO FURTHER! 1 MIN, 3 CARTON BOXES. FOC!
Me EXCLAIMING happily, " I HAVE A MAGICIAN IN MY OFFICE!"

RSVP
I have been communicating with my customers about RSVPs for more than 4 months without knowing what on Earth the acronym stood for. So, wiki-ed it and here it goes:
Wikipedia's RSVP reads-
* "Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "please respond" and word for word means "respond if you please"[1]. It is with this meaning that invitation cards and similar documents are often marked with "RSVP." It is standard practice to reply to an RSVP request whether confirming attendance or declining.
Nice. and they made me call up all the customers that we sent mailers to one month ago about an event happening next week. Look - if people want to come, they Would have responded right? EH- HELLO? PLEASE REFER TO DEFINITION [1]. IT IS BOLDED- JUST FYI.
Ridiculous bunch of cabbage heads.

So...where are we heading?
Be it power, fame, wealth, health, beauty, emotional or physical being...we're bound to be continuously seeking any of the above, simply because- we're not satisfied with our present state.
When you've never eaten a sweet, then someone comes by, gives it to you-you'll chew on it for a moment, feel satisfied for a while. Then suddenly see another kid with a pack of sweets & think : " If i can have a sweet, why can't I own the whole pack too?"
Being rational human beings, we do not want to settle for any less than what we think we deserve. So. where exactly are we heading?
At first, you'll say "I Know where!"
Then as time passes, "Somewhere..."
Soon, " I don't know where..."
& Finally - " Nowhere."
You can choose to place yourself out of this vicious cycle- think back of initial state, and look at the present. If you've gone further than before, be satisfied. At least for a moment.
Final note: If you can't change the way things are , at least you can choose the way you perceive it.
