My last day of work was last Friday. Towards the end of the day, it was crazy because I had to run up and down searching for people to do staff clearance for me. The IT guy wasn't being a great help when he wasn't willing to sign the clearance form for me and said that I should have get this done earlier. Just how earlier could I have get it done when he came over at 4:40 to my PC?

I went around on my last day snapping pictures with people whom I got to know. Unfortunately, yours truly forgot to insert the SD card into the camera and left it at home so I could only take 7 pictures. So I only took it with people who were worthwhile.

Veron gave me an ornament cat; it was a laughing cat. I was grinning from ear to ear when I unwrapped it and I was really thankful.

Yang Li gave me a pair of earrings of small silver apples. One of it is hollow, another was filled with 'diamonds'.

The 3 uncles treated me to my farewell lunch that Wednesday, the day after our farewell lunch with our departments.
During that whole time, our dear boss didn't even bother to strike a conversation with us and didn't even really look our way. Not that I care, but it just goes to show what kind of person she really is.

Actually, my last day should be on 2nd November. However, my dear boss said that I could leave on the 26th October since she's already found my replacement and also in consideration that I hadn't taken any leave throughout my stay in the company. So she decided to let me have a short break before I start working. =.= That's a nice way to put it.

Lai Lin asked if I would miss them a few days before my last day. I told her I couldn't answer her question since I hadn't left that place yet.
Now, I don't miss them. I do wonder how are they doing, but not like I'm dying to know. They were all nice people and I thank them for their inexhausible amount of patience. I guess the bond just isn't deep enough.
Though I have gotten used to the lifestyle, I don't miss it either. I would still wake up at 8 sometimes even 7:30.
I feel more relaxed and happier because I have more time to do what I want to do.

So, What have I done during my 1 week break...
Last Saturday: Went to Jimmy's birthday party. I didn't enjoy myself at all because there were a whole bunch of people whom I didn't know and I didn't bother to join in the conversation. They were Jimmy's secondary school friends and they already knew one another. So I had to initiate to join in the conversation which I couldn't be bothered. They were nice people but my mind just wouldn't flow. Does it matter? We wont' see one other again and even if we do, we might not remember one another.
Poly people came much later. I didn't stay for long because I was going to have dinner with Judith. I could have cancelled on her but there was not reason for me to stay at the party.
I already knew this would happen and I still decided to go to his party was because he's a good friend.
I realised that... there are lots of things I don't know about Jimmy. Maybe because I didn't ask, and he's the one who's always asking about me.
Well, we've chatted online many times, and each time we chatted for a long time. However, there were lots of things that my poly mates knew about him and I don't. If it's because I didn't ask, I wish he would tell me. Sometimes in a relationship, you'll tell another party without being ask.
It seems that he's always the one who's giving, I feel... untrusted.
Oh well, we hardly talked these days ever since started working.
Sunday: Went for service and joined Judith's family for lunch, then went to Serangoon to view their new house. They are moving next year. Her dad drove through KPE so that he can drop us off at town. I respect those people who build this underground expressway. It's huge and it's VERY long. Tough.
We went shopping and went back to her apartment (current) to have dinner because I was too poor to dine outside. My salary's on hold.
While having dinner, we watched this movie, "Forrest Gump" starring Tom Hanks. He's always in these interesting/meaningful movies. This is a very old movie because the Tom Hanks I saw in that movie was quite young.
Monday: Went for interview and headed for manga rental shop after that. Meet up with mom to see doctor. I got home in the afternoon and was dead tired. So I took a nap and got woken up by mom because of a phone call - they were going to hire me and I start work tomorrow.

Tuesday: Went to sign letter of appointment and try out the new uniform. Had lunch and dinner with the 3 uncles and Yang Li. They brought their spouses except for one,and I left so awkward. But it's their treat for both meals.

Wednesday & Thursday: Stayed at home and play games, read comics, magazine.

Friday: Went to DVD/VCD rental shop with Judith. It's so expensive to rent a movie - $7 each! Never again will I ever RENT this on my own. Judith's family is member so they have already pre-paid for the rental fees; Judith didn't pay a single cent. I felt a tad cheated.
We watched Dirty Dancing, and Music and Lyrics. Nice movies. Had lunch and desert at her apartment.
I rented Dirty Dancing 2 and Big Fish.
Dirty Dancing isn't dirty.

Saturday: Stayed at home and play games. Went to peace center,�then had dinner with my cousin and niece.
My niece LOVES (that's an understatement) pink.

Today: Stayed at home and play games. Watch High School Musical.
I dunno what to say about the singing - the lead actress's singing. Is that her original singing voice? Can she really sing?
