Hmmm....
I'm done with my work on 28th July, Friday. Actually I had been waiting for that day for a very long time and was pretty excited about moving back to hall. However, at the last hour of my work, I experienced something which I did not quite expect. Suddenly I felt like I didn't want to leave, kinda she bu de to leave some of the people there, feel like a part of me is gonna be missing after I leave. sighhzzz... I think I just got used to it after 2 months. lol... I felt so sad during the last hour that I nearly cried. My eyes were quite watery already. Although sometimes work could be pretty stressful and busy, there were also good in the "troubled waters". I have received help from people to make things work for us. I was happy that I was given the opportunity to sit in meetings, to attend the company dinner, invitation to business events, outings and to train others. All of which would be impossible without my boss. Well, what I can say is, I think he is one of the best bosses ever. Very very nice & helpful, nice, friendly, approachable, almost unbelievable. (My other bosses in hall are nice also, hehe) I guess maybe this is due to the culture in the company. =) I've made some pretty good friends during my course of work there, even with perm staff. Strange, I can relate to and talk to people who are so much older (like late 20s to early 30s) on an equal level, as a friend and feeling comfortable even on personal topics. uh oh, old me....
Anyhow, I have to adjust back to hall life and school life soon, and to really cherish this one year. It is time. So, I must adapt and enjoy something which I had once waited for too, and must make this one year a fruitful one. Maybe one day, I'll meet those at work again.
Updates!
Some updates about my life since I last had the time to blog. lol... Only have a few hrs on wkdays to myself and 2 short wkends.
=Work=
I'm now definitely more at ease with my work stuff, although I'm officially taking over part of someone's job. Not having people to rely on seem to have a strange effect on me. Seems like I can work better like that. lol... Or maybe it's just that I've been taught most of the stuff. I feel more qualified to handle queries from a freaking huge pool of info (can u imagine someone having to actually study for just a part of a temp job? reading conference notes & booklets), check contracts, be a loanshark. Basically the responsibilities are higher as compared to the usual temp job as I have to take over a guy who is gone. However, the opportunities I get are pretty good. It's not all the time that a temp will get to enjoy company dinners, lunch with bosses and other bosses, meet people, especially when this is my field. Sometimes it's almost like an attachment with a temp's pay. haha.... Also, my boss is very nice. and he has a type of leadership that I've yet to master.
=New House!!=
My parents just bought a new condo recently so.... I shall be having a poolside party for my bday in dec!!! yay... else itz balcony/poolside party. haha depends on the crowd. Basically the plan is, I will be having about a week-long celebration leading up to my bday on the 22nd, allocating 1 full day for each group of friends. That way, quality time can be spent on each group instead of having to touch n go. So friends/classmates, remember to mark on your calendars for that one week & I shall let ppl start picking when the time draws near! :D Meanwhile, we shall leave my current place as it is.
Ok a bit of info on my house is, it's at the extreme end from where I live now. The new one is just opposite Khatib camp, ard Yishun area. For those whose camp was there, you should know where it is. lol.... I think that we were pretty lucky to get this unit as it was one of the better ones, designer deco and all, ground level beside the pool. Picture suntaning on one of the beach chairs & getting a glass of lemonade from my window. lol....
So yup, that's about all. I'm loving life now. It all seems to be going uphill as compared to months and months back. =)
