Yes, I'm finally working again. Though I'm not quite sure if it's still something to rejoice about. Anyway, this job opportunity came out abruptly and well, I think what was running through my mind at that time was, "anything ah, just work lor".
(last) Tuesday
Went out for dinz at Chock Full of Beans with them homies. We were supposed to act like it was just one of our usual catch-up sessions when actually, we wanted to celebrate Emily's birthday :)
Left house late and literally ran from my house all the way to the bus stop just to catch 109 to go to Changi.
Thought I would be the late one but whaddaya know, whenever I'm with them, there's always people that will be later than me haha.
Waited around 45mins ++ for the rest with Emily so we went on a cat-hunting adventure. Old Changi is full of kitty cats omg!!!!
We decided to name ourselves "The Pussy Hunters" ;)
I wanna bring you home but my mum will kill me.
Depressing, but true.
Their latte art is still on point even after a year.
I'd never get sick of smoked salmon.
Mission accomplished :))
The 6 of us hopped onto the same bus home after late dinner, just like the young us when we were still in lower sec awwwww.
Friday
Watched Fast 7 with Betsyyyyy, been watching Fast and Furious every time since Sec 3 with her so it's kind of like a ritual now?
Gosh the movie was so good, and so sad cause of Paul. Kudos to the team and his two younger brothers who acted in his place. Seriously man, the CGI was so realistic, it's as if they brought him alive to shoot the remaining of the film.
Fast and Furious will always be my childhood thing, think I was like P4 when I first watched Tokyo Drift and I was HOOKED. Watched the remaining prequels and continued following the series after Fast 4, 5, 6 and 7 were released.
Long live the franchise!
Saturday
Went for interview in the morning and then headed to meet Shi Ting and Char. This ST is so full of shit HAHAH she was so late and once we demanded a reason for her missing presence, she told us that she "got carried away while doing housework."
hahaha what a lousy excuse!
Tian Kee & Co, been wanting to go here since last year.
10/10 for rustic, old school feels :) It used to be a furniture shop before the new owners converted it into a cafe.
Food was good too(smoked salmon underneath the egg again)
But I love the drinks more, their Peppermint Iced Chocolate was soooo delish, was recommended to get the iced version instead of the hot one by the cashier because he insisted that it simply tasted way better.
Char's Nuts About You (Nutella with steamed fresh milk)
Their pastel rainbow cheesecake is a must-try! Not only pretty to look at, but it also tastes great, I love the base so much.
After fattening ourselves up, we decided to catch a movie but all the timings in the Central area were quite shitty so we had little choice but to take the train all the way to Tamp.
Hipster shot
Caught The Longest Ride and Clint Eastwood's son was acting in it!!! His nicely chiseled face and deep eyes are so dreamy.
The movie was not bad, albeit being a romantic one, it was constructed in a way that two stories, one in the present and another in the past, were beautifully strung together.
Yeah you should watch it if you like Nicholas Sparks' book-turned-into-a-movie kind of thing!
So after spending like so much money, I felt really guilty and decided to look for a job with Kathy. We went online to look for a job and went for an interview with a recruiting agency the next day. Then, Yiting suddenly notified her that her office job wanted to hire more admin staff so we shunbian went for a second interview in that afternoon and guess what, we were immediately hired and were to start work on the very next day.
They must have been pretty desperate. Yea so that's how I got a job, but it's quite sian sigh, makes me reconsider everything in life.
In the future, I don't think I want a desk job, although it's very unlikely to not have a desk job if you wanna earn a decent income these days.
Perhaps it's only the way this particular company runs that makes me dread working in the future. I mean, an office is supposed to be noisy right?
To be bustling with activity and to be filled with noises instead of silence. This place I'm working at is even quieter than a cemetery. At night, you could still hear crickets and some night creatures making noises in a cemetery but over here, I can hear the sound of the slightest shuffle made by the person sitting across the room at the other end. It's kind of scary in a way and sort of driving me insane.
But other than that, everyone has been pretty nice to us. I can tell that all of the perm staff are really good-hearted people but perhaps they might be shy or something or maybe they're trying to be "professional" so they avoid talking unless absolutely necessary.
After one of the tiring nights of working, the three of us went out for dinner at this restaurant directly below our office.
Damn shiok, could finally let our hair down after a crazy day of work.
It's not bad and worth a try - AltPizza, located in between Suntec Tower 3 & 4
