sun came n went. went chruch wif my family, dad n bro only realised it was my bdae in the cab on our way home. upon reaching home, dad stuffed some money in the angpow n gave me, kinda last min. as usual, mum asked me to pick 4-D for her, in e hope tt id bring her some fortune.
i would have made a big fuss had it been in sec sch, if anyone forgot my bdae. now i juz wanna let it pass quietly, w/o a trace. went out to orchard to meet twin to celebrate my bdae, n we ate high tea @marriot hotel. i felt quite bad tt she splurged on me. quite alot of nice stuff to eat. although i didnt gorge myself silly (i am NOT e kiasu type who makes a dash at buffet), but ate at a slow pace..i wanted to puke n hence didnt have the chance to savour the cakes.
twin gave me a precious moment bible for present. woahhh..tts like the most meaningful present ever! den she said abt how in the show 'a walk to remember', mandy moore gave the bible to the guy b4 she died. i brought it home n handle it with extreme care. thanx alot twin..*hugs*
we went to watch the movie: 'secret' by jay chou. she was whining b4 the movie, saying tt if it was those cheesy love story where the female dies of leukemia or cancer at the end, she'd make me pay for the tix. well, at e end of the show, we found out tt both of us did shed a tear or 2. gd plot..v sweet! i'm not a jay chou fanatic, but i received recommendations frm frens to watch diz movie. i dun regret watching it. its pretty impressive for a 1st time director.
bc drove us down to qy's place. we celebrated qy's 21st bdae. celebration was brought forward although hers is actually 24/08/07. the food was gd, the company was better. as usual, i sat n listened.
i realised most, if not all the presents r really v appropriate, esp to aid in my transition frm sch to workin life. also, i realised tt its unspoken consensus tt everyone wans to see a more feminine cindy. i am 女人, ok? hahaha eg e doubles gave me a bag tt i can carry to work, phy gave diz star-shaped pendant, my babies gave blusher n lipstick (they thought i nv use them, but i do apply make up k ;) e previous day, my clique gave diz metallic-strap watch so i can wear it to work instead of relying on my timex. thanx, i'd be making use of them definitely.
mon marked the last day at work. honestly, i'd miss my colleagues n the company. aft the soccer match on sat, i felt like i bonded wif them, n even got to know a few of them on another level. at least today more pple knew of my existence, n vice versa. there's wendy, siok ling, florence, peter, gary, ben, david etc. all those who were down for the game. gary (assistant VP) said, 'hey i saw u playing on sat' today i cld attached more names to faces, n was busier than usual coz i helped sort of the letters n delivered them to more pple whom i've gotten to know over the weekend.
carol treated me for lunch coz it was my last day. it was tiz one time tt i got to her much better, coz most of the time we hardly talk in e office. hah i may seem like i can hold a decent conversation n not run into awkward silence, but hardly anyone knows tt i actually say a prayer b4 tt. i pray tt when i talk to pple, i'd not run into moments of awkwardness, but tt i'd learn to listen n interact. most of the times, prayer helps ;]
i'd miss e spectacular view here at h*bc, n the pple. hope to come back n work with them in future. i figured maybe tt's His reason for putting me here, as a temp staff. i dunno?
my office overlooks the marina bay, previous june race site. (coincidentally, when i work in o*bc, the office overlooks s'pore river- regatta race site)
can also get a gd view of fullerton, which is opposite our building
here's my desk. i always hated tt post card, coz it aptly described how i felt most of the days. if u zoom in to see the luminous green postcard, it says, "If u r bored, it's not our fault" like..wtf

enjoy your time there! what is important is we like what we do, and of course, if it's justified by other means too! and the people in your environment! very very important. =)
