:OOO

Full day of lessons in our training wear. The shoes hurt like a motherfather bish. Blisters maaannnn. Need to get new black pants with belt loops. Laughed at the saluting role play especially the walk at Orchard part. So funny. Found out that there's an SW senior in the same class! :O He came up to me and asked if I was from SW. Apparently we were both in SB but he graduated in 2011. I don't recognize him at all. Hahaha. Another full day of lessons tomorrow. Kinda looking forward to Friday. Quite lepak and meeting the friends for movie! Yay. Being a civil servant is such a headache sometimes. So many rules and morals to adhere to. Lol

First day!

First day of training which is till 14th August. Apparently we will all most probably be attached to Woodlands Checkpoint which is good news to me. Woot. Was early but kinda 'late' because I missed the bus. Almost didn't get off at the right stop because idk why but I got off anyways. Made a friend otw to the place. Went in and almost everyone was there. So awkward, I didn't dare look at any of their faces. Saw Sa's friend and surprise! A familiar person from secondary school. She waved at me first and I didn't make any connection till lunch when I took a good look at her and was like "EHHHHH". Well, at least I wasn't as invisible in secondary school as I thought I was. Hahahha. Boring first day. Mostly briefings about random stuff that I'll probably forget soon. (now) Uniform measurement tomorrow and going to the HQ so hopefully I get to have lunch with the GE peeps first because it's nearby. Fingers crossed! I don't miss GE...

12 more hours!

The end.

Last day at GE. It's done guys. 3 not bad months. 3 months of typing letters, folding letters, sending cheques, blue paper, case IDs and checking signatures. It's over. Hmm. I still remember the first day of work which was so mothereffin' boring that I wanted to quit after that lol. But JZ and I persevered on and after being given lots of work, I started getting into the groove of things. Honestly, I do like office jobs only if I have work to do. If not, the day passes by ever so slowly. Another thing that made the past 3 months quite a blast is the people I met. Working with friends really makes time so much more enjoyable and pass by in a blink of an eye. The office people are really very nice and it wasn't dull at all listening to their weird convos. Hahaha. So recap today. Arrived at work like any other morning. Did the cheques until lunch. The haze was horrible in the afternoon. PSI was around 400 and most would rather stay indoors. The 6 of us were th...

Cleaannnn

So yesterday, I wasn't given any new work because I had to clear the stack of case IDs. I think Jo was a bit irritated by Christy's kanchiong-ness because she was like "All backend primary". Lol. Of course everything was a jumbled up mess. Had to match the cheques with the letters, the old payer with the new payer and other shit. Some random shit turned up and I'm like "Whaaattttt." A lot of the cheques were missing letters and some of the letters were missing cheques. Whatever. Passed them all to Sze Yan lol. So now my desk looks so freakin' clean like the first day. Since the haze is terrible, we flirted with the idea of ordering pizza but that fell through because by the time we decided it was already too late as the delivery took an hour. Braved the haze and went out to buy lunch, this time with the two guys. Ate in the pantry. The AVP always comes in when we're eating and I think she was surprised that we were eating together. Probably w...

2 years of my life

Went to MND building in the morning to sign the contract for my new job. Almost got lost because I was reading the map and it stated that I was far away lol. Kept walking towards the main road when I looked up and yay, MND. Was early so I sat around in the lobby before going up. The lifts are so gd confusing because it doesn't stop at every level. Luckily there was a guy there who went into the office too. Waited a while before the person came. There was this other guy there with me. She explained the terms, rules and whatever legal shit that I don't understand but pretend to. Signed many times and my signature was a bit different every time. Hahaha. The whole process took half an hour and when I was done, I had signed 2 years of my life away. Let's hope this thing works out k. Again, the confusing lifts. Got into one that only stopped at level 2 I think so I got out with the person who went out at level 4 and continued down the stairs. Was early so I went to Bugis ...

Ho-hum

Nothing exciting happened today. Sat down when LHL came and gave me work. She suddenly asked me, very seriously, "What do you like to eat?" Of course forever awkward Ain was stunned and my mind went blank. So I asked why. Then she asked where I like to eat and I replied that we went to different places every day. Then she finally asked what my favourite snack is which is duh, chocolate. Then I laughed because I'm such a spazz. She then nodded then went away. Saw her go to the AVP but idk if it's related to whatever she just asked lol. I'm expecting a chocolate cake but if not, any high class chocolate also caaaaannnnn (read in AVP's nasally voice haha). Skali they neh gimme anything then I paiseh. (Ah Lian speak yo) Bittersweet... Oh yeah, almost forgot about the stuff I need to bring tomorrow. Thank goodness I have passport sized pictures and found my BC. Hopefully I can find my way to the place tomorrow lol. 3 and a half more days...

Wah

Monday. Booooooo. I was super sleepy because I kept waking up last night because it was too freakin' humid and hot and I was sweating and urgh, it was horrible. Was wondering why sunlight was streaming in when I looked up and saw the AVP taking pictures of the haze outside. Lol. So random. Went to a new coffeeshop to eat at lunch today. It was all halal! I had the tom yum noodle seafood soup thingy. It was nice but spicy and I sweated even more with the humidity and haze. I swear we can't cross the road with ASY because she keeps screaming and making a scene even though the car ain't gonna hit me. Hahaha. We decided to cross the big road when the cars suddenly started moving and from jogging, we started full-on sprinting while laughing and screaming. Hahahaha. It was so hilarious. XD Was taking the cheque forms when the AVP called me while cupping her hands. "I don't have anymore reinstatement forms with you right?" she asked. "Don't have,...

This sentimental mofo

Loser me didn't tell Jo that I'm leaving next week. Will do so on Monday by hook or by crook! Anways, I was late today because of my scumbag stomach. Had this massive stomachache so I alighted at AMK and rushed to the washroom. Sat there for quite some time. Haha. Arrived at the office about 20 minutes late. Scumbag stomach wasn't done so I rushed to the washroom where thankfully, the handicap one was free. Spent another few mins there and my ass felt like it was on fire. TMI? Blah blah blah. Did letters and cheques yadayada, boring stuff. Told ASY that I was leaving next week and she seemed quite disappointed lol. Continued work after lunch. Was printing out some stuff when I noticed the AVP looking in my direction. But she went back to her seat so I thought nothing of it. Saw her walking again and was praying she wouldn't come to me. She did. Presented me with a stack of papers. "Can check signature for me?" Should have said no. Haha. But of cour...

Trolls!

Since JZ wasn't at work yesterday, the evil genius a.k.a Ain decided to print out pictures of 2 aunties (that I had previously changed her phone wallpaper to) and stick it around her desk area to troll her.   I swear I could stop laughing when ASY was drawing this. It was so hilarious ok hahaha. Anyways, since JZ always comes to work early and I wanted to see her reaction, I decided to ask her for breakfast. Had porridge at KFC before coming to work 15 minutes late. Lol. I think this was the first time in almost 2 months that JZ and I went to work together. I think Sebas was surprised. JZ's reaction was funniest when she opened the keyboard drawer and saw the pictures. She literally jumped back and burst out laughing and I too couldn't stop laughing. I bet the people were wondering what these two idiots were doing haha. Well, prank success. Of course we didn't stop there. Evil genius decided to put two pics in JZ's wallet. At first she didn't see it w...

Another chapter beckons

Catching up with some stuff last week from my Twitter. I need to see this here because I'm leaving the crazy office soon. So last week, one of the things I remember was the AVP suddenly being like more nice than usual. I was walking back from the printer and I saw her standing up, looking at me. I was photocopying a lot of cheques and I had a depressed/pissed off expression on my face. I think she saw that because when she came up to me to ask to check for signatures, she was like "Can you help me check signatures? But you can finish all this first." She repeated that twice. Hahaha. I think it was another day that she asked me again and I passed her the signatures and she almost dropped it. From my tweet: Our reactions were funny. She was like "WHOA" and I kinda stumbled trying to save the papers. Hahaha. Oh, we went to play pool during lunch last Wed I think. It was super random because the panda wanted to and I was all awkward because I've never played...

MC!

Image
Took MC today because of my stupid stomach. Been going to the toilet after eating since yesterday so I had a mild case of diarrhoea. Woke up and was all ready for work then my stomach acted up so I went to the toilet. Debated if I wanted to go to work and in the end, I decided not to so I went to the polyclinic. Wasted 3 hours of my life there, registration took more than 2 hours. Tsk. Lol, I finally paid this outstanding bill from 2 years ago when I went there about my sprained ankle. I was wondering why they didn't send any letters and I think they sent one to the old house because I had to update my address while registering. It was only $9.60 so that was ok. Doctor pressed my stomach, gave me MC then off to the pharmacy to get my meds. Went to the library after that to check out some books and reserved 2 James Patterson novels. Home. Fell asleep for 2 hours and it was awesome. If I was at work, I would've 2 hours left before going home. Haha. Apparently our pay is del...

How is it June!?

Image
How has almost half a year past already!? My goodness! Work talk. I swear working in CS is so interesting. At least to me since I'm a creepy stalker that likes to listen to office convos. Got back from my day off for grad and my supervisor came up to me first to give work. She asked how grad was and I replied it was fine. Then she stunned me by saying "You graduated with Irene's daughter right?" Then I was like... Yup... She doesn't know that I lied by saying my grad was at 1pm and that's why I can't take half day right!? HAHAH. Random things that happened: LHL suddenly came up to ask if I eat egg tart and I stared blankly at her for 500 years before nodding and letting out something that sounded like yes. She came back and gave it to me. Oh, the AVP came and gave me chocolate. I saw her coming up from behind and she was all happy, saying "Chocolate" and handing it to me before giggling. Hahaha, she's so... weird. In a good way. ...

Graduation!

Image
So we finally had our graduation ceremony on 29th May 2013, 5pm. Good and weird to see so many familiar faces after two months apart. Ceremony was ok. I don't remember much, just typical speeches and videos. David was the valedictorian and he did a totally touching speech that made him tear up while talking about us. Awwww. I'll love and miss SB '10 so flippin' much. Definitely the best class with the bestest people to be a part of for 3 years. Only some of the class. Most of them were MIA or had already gone off. It's so weird how 3 years flew by so gd fast. I still remember orientation, the first day of school, going to what seemed like an endless stream of lectures, tutorials and projects. The most fun was during TEP (again, the period of time I would like to go back to given the chance) It's hard to believe that I won't be back for another semester of wicked fun with the silliest classmates; no more skipping lectures to go eat McD's (or go s...
