and she entered the working world. Work has been pretty cool so far. Today's the second day. my first day, we had a book fair to set up (don't bother going it's kids stuff) at EXPO. so... I went there mucked around (how do I -always- get put on deco com/group? n I never seem to improve too!) with some deco items and a PRC boy who could speak english about as well as I can speak chinese. At some points I got a bit irritated but naturally, since I'm working at the tact I was quite quite nice to him. He called in sick today. Not me I hope. *laughs* Got let off at 1 plus... supposed to be let off early but at three not one so i decided to go for lunch with my colleagues till three then I let myself off. hahaha and my colleague actually drove me to capitamall where I was meeting chunlong and benuel to discuss somethingood. Daniel came a while later (you guys -have- to ask chunlong/benuel about their daniel fruit cake theory. it's hilarious).

Today's the second day and happily for me, my boss is out. She told me what to do in the morning. Wrap presents for the costume parade that -i will be emceeing!- and write out my emcee 'speech'. LoL... wahhhh so hard eh. so she gave me 4 hours (and counting) to do it *laughs*. She's not back yet so effectively I have nothing to do till she -does- come back which will hopefully be at 6 when it's time for me to get off work. So right now I'm here and I have access to the internet using a computer whose screen is probably like, 25 inches or something. It's absolutley huge because it is the design computer, and that naturally, suits me just fine. I love big things. *laughs* ooooh.

Despite my heavy work schedule, I bet I'm working harder than this guy who sits at the desk next to mine. He came in at 11! and spent the whole time, till now, calling various travel agents to find the cheapest tickets to Bangkok (hm....). He's going on the 25th for 2 nights and 3 days and wants it cheap. Coz he keeps asking for Valueair when agents give him SIA. I even know the cost of these tickets coz he's repeated them half a million times. And no, it's not like I -want- to eavesdrop. I was trying to read but he kept talking so.... LoL.. I hope this screen isn't big to the extent that he looks over and can read what I'm writing. *grin*

Today has been relatively productive. I've contemplated using the office telephone to call CCF coz I need to speak to Simon (my CCF man who I need to talk to regarding somethingood). But decided to settle for company computer. I've also scheduled my other internship at AL and Co-Solicitors to start once somethingood and this current work attachment ends. So I'll be kept busy. Am a bit anxious about my workload (as usual). It's amazing how I can -always- think of school even when I'm meant to be on holiday. Ahh... guess that's why I'm a scholar. Or maybe that's a result of me being a scholar. Coz like, u know no one's gonna give a damn about you if you don't look after yourself.

I am now sleeping in the sick bay at RI. Because my roommate has a cold and naturally, isn't doing anything about it. Sometimes I feel a little annoyed at her uncivicmindedness but overall, she's been a pretty good roomie. IE. Little conflicts, no theft cases as yet... so I think she's okay and I try very hard to compromise to keep the peace. Wondering if I should continue being roommates with her next year. She's okay with it but... she's always sick, she doesn't throw rubbish into the bin very accurately, she's not too clean, she is anorexic (which i won't mind except she vomits in the toilet leaving it sticky sweet) and she doesn't know how to fill the toilet paper dispenser so I always have to do it for everyone. Other than that, she really is pretty cool. Honestly. I suppose I'd rather stay with her than certain other PRCs who are like..... complete morons. My current roommate.. is modern.

Anyway, that doesn't explain my stay at the sick bay. Basically, I can't afford to get sick now because of my tight schedules and i was starting to get the flu etc etc from her so I grabbed the first sniff I got and shoved it at the boarding mistress telling her I'd be really really sick so please let me stay in the sick bay. The sick bay has one bed, so effectively, it's a private, ensuite bedroom. nice place. Have my own bathroom too. I'm gonna stay there till I'm convinced that I'm super well, and that she is super well because I dun want to get physically sick(er).

Somethingood is coming along well. A certain girl (whose name I will not mention because she has a boyfriend) was right when she said "you know how boys are. like to dilly dally a lot." heh... coz the bands I'm in contact with take aaaagggesss to tell me which dates they can come down for. But honestly, so long as they don't mind me smsing them once in a while to bug them about it, I dun really mind either. Coz it's great that they're coming down to play... plus, their procrastination can sometimes get amusing. Boys.

Yea, I still need volunteers so hurry up and COMMIT you guys. As in.. really. I know you thik u can come down without teling me firts and all that which YES you can buttttt, I -do- need to be assured that at least the minimum number of people required will be down. If not the event might turn out a failure which we don't want do we? Common... we've been really priviledged and all, and the Singapore government really pours lots into your lives because you're all smart and stuff. You can afford to pass on the love (okay fine, not love, but... good deed) to other people. And really, this is for children. who have cancer. don't you think it'd be nice to give them a nice christmas gift? Realllly mannnn... think about it okay? (= And reply to me. More publicity will go out soon... once claudia gets everyting up and running. She's been hired as publicity head. heh... so claud, Do ur thing!

I'm kinda happy. Today as I said was productive becoz I went through one section of history reading (Russia) and one set of lecture notes. I should have brought more stuff to do... I suppose I could go and finish up the Russian reading that I -did- bring. But it's a bit boring. This saturday I'm going to busk at Orchard. This friday I'm staying over at Judith's. I feel like pooling after work today. Oh this saturday if u wanna see firas and the ruggers dancing u can come down to orchard. I think they'll be at wheelock place. This busking event is under interact.

Funny... I always remember first impressions/first meetings. And the first time I registered firas' existence was at the rugby finals.. hm.. I dun think it was at previous rugby matches... coz usually we sit at the bleachers. but for the finals we could go closer to the field. keep remembering that image... or him running.. and his bulging (and by golly very very appealing) thigh muscles. I have no idea what they're called. Yea, that's it. No, I really don't have a thing for Firas. Just a thought. And no, I dun ALWAYS think of his muscles. Really... just when i think of rugby. Ciao.
