my hols so far

wad have i been bz wif?

1) training. mon tues thurs sat sun

didnt go for mon n tues trg, coz of food poisoning n gg for the navy talk respectively. sun's mix trg was quite beneficial as we learnt frm the guys. its a cross-cultural exchange kinda thing, in a way.

wad was worthy of mention was the lunch at beach rd. i'm so devastated tt the tau-huey stall has closed down. i went there specially to eat 2 bowls of tau-huey, only to b diasappointed. anw, it was fun talking to my batch mates, as well as phyllis who basically juz tuned in n laughed. we finally tried 'whatever', n got the crysanthemum flavoured one.

2) mayday concert on sat!

went wif twin n meiping. it was quite electrifying, kinda deja vu coz its my 2nd time gg wif twin, walking to same stretch towards the max pavilion.

the concert was a tad too noisy for me. i felt the previous concert was better in tt there was a better mix btn their slower songs n the rock kinda songs. didnt enjoy it as much as the previous one also coz on my part, i was to blame for not listening to their new album. hence i was lost during moments where they sang the newer songs.

i noe how to spell LOVE aft leaving the concert. well, mayday beat most pop group hands down, in terms of making their audiences engaged. they really have their ways of getting the crowd high. during the part of 恋爱-ing, we chanted L-O-V-E n then they werent pleased wif the volume, so all of them left the stage. all the audience had to chant L-O-V-E loud enuf b4 they came out again.

ok quite lame. but so far 五月天 is the only concert i have been to.

3) work @esprit

well, its not a glamorous job, the pay is low n it is a tiring job where i have to b on my feet almost all the time. there was a midnight sale last fri, so i worked frm 2pm-1am. yup, u didnt see wrongly. hence for the whole 11 hrs (excluding dinner break), i was on my feet. shelving clothes, folding, tending to customers, etc. despite the low pay, i still derive satisfaction esp when i'm able to locate the clothes, or see the smile on the customers faces. it's these little 'victories' tt makes me happy. i dun nd to meet a sales quota to b happy; in fact its juz these little things, eg managing to neatly fold the clotes for 3 display tables--tt makes me satisfied at the end of the long day's work.

4) interview

i juz came back frm an interview not too long ago. it was alright. i gave honest answers. it aint ethical to withhold information, n besides it'll juz backfire somehow if i lied abt my answers. they asked me if there's a possibility to set up a dragonboat team for e navy. i said, 'currently, they have the safsa, but not for the navy. but there is a possibility, definitely.'

"there's smtg abt dragonboat.." said 1 of the interviewers

wad i didnt say was tt i may not join a db team, if they ever set up one. they didnt ask, n i didnt say. coz once i leave the team tiz july, its a complete closure of a very beautiful chapter of my life.

if some things r beautiful
juz leave it as it is,
undisturbed, unaltered.

if some things r meant to end
juz let it be,
unruffled, unchanged.

if some things are tt
juz keep in memory
forever
untainted, untarnished.

for the best memories r those unalterated ones.
-wendy, my twin.

so, tts my hols for u. the irony of it all is tt i'm sleep deprived. been sleeping less than i do during term time. how ironic. but, i'm still v much grounded by my all-time fav quote:

wad fails to kill me makes me stronger
