Musings at a world gone wild.

All I want for Christmas is...

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

You. Yes all you fellas out there from the Yr 6 Cohort of '10 and esp you dudes and dudets of 6.9 Galileans. Well I guess time makes the heart grow fonder. And yes, like the slow setting sun, every passing day seems to add a bit of darkness to the cheery memories of our time spent in delirious laughter as well as sleepless nights and sleeping days. The nostalgia of the whole IB experience is slowly turning into well...a nostalgic experience. The EEs, IAs, TOK presentations we went through, the 'failed' studying groups we had, the last supper/ recess.

It just brings back a flood of memories that I can't help but grin at. Norms getting into 'nostalgia' mode and recounting some past experiences or imparting some life lesson. R(A) war movies/war pictures. Miao getting bullied during History class. Seow impressing everyone with his genius during Chem class (and having comic duels with Lydia Yap in the process). All guys English class =D. White board filled with models after Econs lesson. Models. Naresh quotes. Awesome TOK lessons/free periods. Ng Teck Seng. Andrew's annoyance with certain acapella groups in class. Toan's/Kevin's escapades. Hao Zhong's arms size VS. Head size quotes. King Lear quotes :S. SL maths :) Yr 6 PC periods and Ted Talks. Angela Ong. BGR talks. Yes, the acapella groups again. FireAC :) Preparing for FireAC :) Sidney Tan and Tim Tan :) Preparing for TOK presentation (right Andrew?) XD Norm's SQA History lesson.

Gosh, so much going through my head in 10 minutes. And you know what? I miss you guys. Like heaps. Like a puppy missing the bone he just ate.

So all I ever want, this Christmas, is to see you guys again. One more time before results come out. Before we ganna Tekonged or step into Uni. Cause memories are, or rather were, the past. But you guys are still here. So lets go make more memories :)

~IT IS BY CHANCE THAT WE MET, BY CHOICE THAT WE BECAME FRIENDS~

I have so much to blog about but I am lazy. Maybe next week. Oh wait I said that last week. Oh well good night world.

First day at work @ Club 21

Monday, December 6, 2010

First day at work was...enjoyable =D Met one of my old BB friend, Eugene, there :) Turns out he is working at the warehouse. God provides =D Spent the entire day sitting very relaxed at my work desk detagging uber expensive clothing (Armani Exchange clothes go at minimum of a hundred and ninety nine bucks! Guess that means they probably have loads of dollar coins in their cash registers XD) Seriously, people buy these stuff?? I mean the material is quite good but at hundred and ninety nine bucks, and with the thousand of stocks in the warehouse, I seriously wonder whether supply has exceeded demand O.O Haha but my hands all feel nice and silky now because of all the silk and cotton I have touched =D Also, the staff there are really really friendly. Though they communicate in Malay (which, let me clarify, I DO NOT understand), they are like um the word is 'Abang!'. Really nice people to be with, guess that means I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Before I throw myself back into (brainless) work and eating (crappy) expensive food

Do you know what date is it tomorrow? It's the sixth of December. That's right in a month's time results are out. All who will only panic on the 5th of Jan say Aye. On other news, boy time really flies when you are trying too hard to have fun by whiling away your days running in the hot sun, climbing up flights of stairs (oh look I just did 75 stories! Hmm maybe I'll do a hundred tomorrow, the air would be fresher up there. You get the idea), pretending you are actually trying to read intellectual books (I recently walked into the library, skipped the Fiction section and borrowed 5 books on topics like Psychology, religion and maids O.o) and cooking (why does your mom NEVER follow the instructions in the cook books?).

Sooo...I've decided to pluck myself out of this miserable life of TRYING to have fun by actually dumping myself back into what I do best (and therefore, through some existential way of reasoning, would enjoy the most). That is work with an emphasis on the Kk sound. Yes, fellow bumbling quarter life crisis mates, I am going to be productive and contribute to the rapidly expanding economy (sounds like I'm making babies or something:S) and get back to WorKk. So come Monday, goodbye social life and FB idling (stalking is a wrong/bad word, all I do is sit and stare at the home screen) and hello Money churning, menial handling, air conditioned, I-actually-am-doing-something-useful-with-my-life WORKk.

Yes thus for 6.50 an hour, 5 days a week, 10 minus 1 for lunch hours a day, I would be sandwiched between 2 gigantic shelves, at a desk, branded shirts in hand (I heard the place I work at handles Armani :O) and I am going to....remove electronic tags. Pause. Wait for it. Don't say it.

WoW.

Ok so the only reason I'm typing this post is so I can enjoy the nice clacking sound of the keyboard before it goes kinda quiet for a month and when I would spend my time sitting and thinking of the outside world and all its undiscovered beauty. Did I mention that I'm also kinda bored? Scratch that. I AM bored.

Sat in church alone today (no, contrary to popular belief, I am not a psychotic anti social planning what I would have for lunch after service - got you there - when the sermon is on. Just that I don't really know people in Church but getting to know them now through cell group =D). The sermon was kinda...um...iffy. Basically on Hebrews 3, talking about the Builder being more important than the building, that Jesus is greater than Moses etc. Nodded my head in agreement though nothing awe inspiring stuck out, gah guess I have to re read that chapter again. But there was this funny bit when the pastor asked: 'so when you look at HDB flats, don't you think about the architects who created them? The engineers? How it was made? Surely you must have!' Whole congregation: 'O.O'

Oh btw, as mentioned above, in my pursuit to pretend that I have grown up (come on I'm eighteen coming eighty). Just to share a few interesting books that I borrowed.

Emotionally intelligent living: Strategies for increasing your EQ by Geetu Bharwaney
I am not sick: I don't need help by Dr. Xavier Amador
Religion: Key concepts in Philosophy by Brendan Sweetman

The last one is really interesting, trying to digest it bit by bit now =D Oh and look out for more cooking recipies! I just baked shepherds pie on Friday (was supposed to do it a few days earlier but just when we were going to get out to buy the beef, it poured :S) and have an awesome dofu dish too!

Gah really missing all my friends back in school :S
