Because I have left this blog untouched for quite a while…I cannot really remember what I have written previously..so I was reading back on my entries and I chanced across one which said that I was starting a new job. Well…I will be going through that once again. Hehe…as MM puts in…I am like a rolling stone. But well…I think if I have to work and I will be getting more for it in a new place then why not?!? I am happy where I am now, great boss, great place and nice colleagues. Sometimes I have to deal with petty things amongst staff but that’s not unbearable. The only complain that I have of here is that the pace is rather slow and even for a person like me…I can get bored. And I was telling Iz that if I stay here longer I will get so comfortable and my brain cells would probably die from un-use. It is not that we have nothing to do here but it is just that compared to where I have been, the pace is really slow and tasks operational. Occasionally..exciting things happen but that is not the norm. The boss here is great though…super easy-going and flexible. Her pet phrase seems to be ‘ we see how lah’. Sometimes, I feel that she is a bit too kind to her staff but well..I suppose that is her working style. Colleagues here are somewhat gossipy and like Iz likes to say..auntie-fied but they are a nice bunch. Pretty sheltered here and too used to the comfy pace already, I reckon. So…I think I will miss this place when I move… But I reckon that whilst I am still young (relatively lah…) , I should gather as much work experience and try out as much new stuff as I can. It would also look good on my CV. And the vain and image-conscious side of me says, well….a move to a higher position is always good and impressive.  That aside, I am a bit scared though…not only will it be a new area of work, it will also be a my first foray into the corporate sector, apart from the short stint at that silly school which shall remain unnamed. With all the stories you hear about the back-biting, the politics, the competitivess, the loooong hours…..I wonder if I am making the right choice. After my initial excitment, I am now wondering if I am up to it. All the what ifs….That day after I signed the letter of offer, I worried about it so much that I got a tummyache. I tend to get tummyaches whenever I am newvous about something. But well…now I cannot reverse the clock anymore, I can only pray that it all turns out well. Must think positive. Sort of counting down to my last day here cos I am looking forward to the break in between. Already have plans to go have tea, shop for work clothes, do my hair etc etc…Will be so busy then

This is such a wet wet month. Apart from the times when I am home when it rains, I dun like it much. It makes getting around so inconvenient esp when picking/dropping M off in school. It makes me sleepy too..It’s been raining virtually the entire day though it is lightening somewhat now. I wonder if there will be a repeat of the floods like last week. Thomson Road was so badly hit that cars were partially submerged, plants were destroyed and even kois escaped. It was a good thing that the rain was heaviest that day, Matthew was home with MM.Kept him home as he was running a temperature and did not want to risk him getting wet.

This rain makes me sleepy too. Feel like I could do with a looooooooong looooooooong nap.

Was quite peeved earlier on cos I had to go all the way to Jurong Library to collect a book for a lecturer. Peeved not because of the lecturer but because a request I made for the book to be brought here today got ignored. And of course what followed was a made hunt for the book cos the lecturer would be coming to collect it today.So ended up the only available and lending copy was in Jurong , so yours truly had to make a trip there. Not only was it a time waster, it cost me $25 in cab fares. Really think I should complain to the person’s boss for her inefficiency. Not being mean but then I think it is really irresponsible. I requested for 4 items and only 2 came…the first 2 never came. And cos I only managed to get the book today, it looks like I might need to make another trip down to Esplanade Library to get the DVD, whenever it gets return. See…all these hassle cos of one’s person’s irresponsibility..Sheesh…
