and after a long while
i think it's the fact that i type and read too much at work. terrible, i've seemed to have lost the kick to write. i should go back to reading a lot of fiction again. hopefully the school term will kick start the engine to write haha.
anyhow, the various boss bidding emails are out, and it kinda hits that, dang, it's almost the end of hols. yeah, there's still matriculation, 1 more mock camp, and 1 more actual camp to go through. but it just seems that not too long ago, i just started work, and that was in april. man, where did the last 2 months go?! oh well, i honestly cannot wait to go on leave for matriculation and mock camp next week, and i bet uncle cliffy feels the same hahaha. it's the way we go with welfare hur. and once the ever terrifying bidding is gotten over, i'll settle back to being once again, a student trying to pull her gpa up. not the admin temp forced to answer phone calls in dialects she CANNOT speak hahaha.
oh yes, after hearing rui's alarm 23446546098 times over mock camp one (and failing miserably to get up on the 3rd day for brekkie), i finally got an album by the verve, and they're pretty good. nothing as fancy as dream theatre. kinda like a cross between death cab (of which tickets were sold out by the time a certain ELF asked if anyone wanted to go grrrr) and radiohead, which just sounds really weird, but you'll get what i mean when you listen to all 3 bands haha. and it's not just bitter sweet symphony, it's most of the songs as well. haha i'm rambling again, but anyway.
it's quite strange. i look forward to about 2 to 3 things at work: 1) lunch, 2) going home and sometimes, 3) the funny person on the phone of the day. it's really... bittersweet, for lack of a better word. for once, i just want to stay home and sleep all day. i want to go about orchard walking aimlessly (nope, not looking for wally wang, that hardly counts), stone a lot, get out of singapore. depressing, and to think that i was so glad that i found a job to finance my erm food haha. and the last time i couldn't find a job, i was dying of boredom at home.
anyhow, today was a day of unexpected meetings as well. while going to lunch, i met another church member who happens to work 2 floors above me hahaha. and while going home, i met my ex-piano student's mom on the bus haha. first time i didn't doze off on the way home.
oh well, alumni band's going to be over soon, and i don't want to be stuck in the qm room again i think. one of the first to get there and one of the last to go home. it's fun, because after a while, you kind of know all the members finally, but it sucks because you're stuck being last to go home waiting for all the clowns to pack up haha. but i'll have my friday's a little freer then (:
alright, i cannot wait for mock camp 2, where i'll FINALLY and HOPEFULLY get to eat my TAO HUEY, which i have been craving for since mock camp 1. and my fellow teeth grinding tao huey buddy's prolly eating bowls and bowls of tao huey behind my back in hong kong (well, it does depend which way you're facing for hong kong to be at your back haha lame), along with many many rounds of dim sum. gahhhhs just talking about it makes me hungry, and being hungry just before you sleep is not good haha.
alright, bed for me, and sweet dreams of grass jelly, tao huey, muffins and prawn mee, all to the tune of bitter sweet symphony. haha sounds like everyone else's worst nightmare heh.
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
