Media?
Human communication?
Effective people management?
Aerospace?
Stock?

Aerospace and Media sounds interesting, though there's little/ no link at all to the course I'm doing.

It's a dilemma.
Not such a big one as some other dilemma.

Same Side of the Moon
by Corrine May

I’m looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There’s a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we’ll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space
can’t come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you’ll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can’t be that far from you
If we’re both looking on the same side of the moon.

I picture you across the oceans
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It’s still the same side of the moon
That we’ll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space
can’t come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you’ll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can’t be that far from you
If we’re both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can’t be that far from you
If we’re both looking on the same side of the moon


If you've got the mp3 for this, please send it to me! =)

The World's Shortest Personality Test


You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart.Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people.You tend to be always smiling - and making others smile.
You are shy and intelligent... and a very hard worker.You're also funny, but many people don't see your funny side.Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches.
I think the subtle dry humor part is pretty true.
My vocab spells "lameness".

I forgot all about my cousin's wedding!

It took place on Tuesday, and I went down to his house straight from school. When I reached, the newlyweds had already left for the bride's house.
So I didn't get to see just how pretty the bride looked with her "very nice" hairdo and makeup. [Mum and gramps kept going on about how good that makeup and hairdo look, and I'm jealous I didn't get to see it.]

Stayed on for a while, not that I did get to see the bride eventually, but because they'd use Mum's car =s

Took my 3-hour nap back home, before going for the wedding dinner. I finally did get to see the wedding photos, and I can't help thinking it all ain't true.
Looking at my cousin, with his wife (now), all decked out in all that gowns/suits, it all seemed a bit weird. My brothers thought so too, "Very weird to see James boy gorgor getting married hor?"

I have this photo taken with James boy gorgor and his siblings when I was about 2/3 years old. They aren't that much older than I am.
Now that 2 out of 3 of them are married, there's this "we're no longer kids anymore" thought coming up again.

When the 4th dish for the night was served, brother said, "Now that he's married, then soon will be Jocelyn jiejie's turn, then mine!"
He said it out so loud and so unabashedly, I wonder how he's going to do that without first getting a girlfriend, and can't help but laugh at this childish ignorance of life and reponsibilities that come with getting MARRIED.

Kids.

Honestly, I wonder how it'd be like when my turn comes.
Who will it be?
What will it be like?
I think it'd be very odd, awkward even.
To live with someone you haven't known all your life, only in the days (depending on how long it is) you spent together as a dating couple.
Yikes.

Doesn't sound too splendid.

Some growing up indeed.

How? I still feel very much like a kid. Haha!
Some senior once told me to act more like a lady/woman/any 18/19 year old, rather than a "xiao mei".
I was appalled. It just, wasn't nice hearing that.
I was just really shocked, and tongue-tied.

I just got myself a bit confused and disorientated with this entry.

work

The IBM computer that I'm using at work takes up a hell lot of space.
Which explains why when I do income audit, which requires filing of vouchers and yadda yadda, my desk is like a junkyard.

Yesterday was really eventful; I'd probably forgotten to pray for a smooth day at work before leaving the house.
We spent nearly an hour and a half, close to two perhaps, at the bank, got caught in the rain, got our queue for cabs cut, and a whole lot of other stuffs happened.

I nearly died when the teller asked if I could watch the $ at her counter while she showed my colleague directions to some place where we had to submit the telegraphic transfers.
That sucked.
I couldn't help feeling a bit watched and insecure, even though the security guard was there, because he looked kind of lost and dazed himself.

Today was just as eventful. I had to flip through about 13 days' worth of papers to look for an error. Because the formulas in the excel worksheet linked each day's figures to the other's, I had to reprint 13 days' worth of reports after amending that mistake. So, what is it? Oh! I know!
Someone editted my work and typed a '2' over a '1', and even though the reports are verified by someone independent before I file it away, no one told me about it. =s
Sheesh.

I'll be all alone in the office from 4-6 p.m tmr.
So any lonely souls who wants to sms me can do so. =)

Thurs -
I pressed down too hard on the keyboard holder and it dropped. The screw dropped, and paperclips were sprawled all over the carpeted floor.
Minutes later, the IT guys ordered for us to stop using the Sunsystem. They joked that it was indeed time for me to stop work for a while and just CHILL.

Fri -
Used the photocopying machine in the office to make a copy of my application form, and ended up asking someone for help. They had to ask someone to repair it in the end.
Towards the end of the day, I got pretty caught up stamping the "paid" chop on all the invoices. Every single piece had to be chopped! -freaks
It was SOME hand exercise. The chop wasn't all that light; it was bulky.
Somehow the chop got stuck a few times.
Music and Lyrics wasn't all that bad. Full seating. Some good soundtracks, and funny scenes.
They actually made out under the grand piano! -faints

It's back to work tomorrow. =s

Grading

I resolve to take my G7 exam next year.

She wondered why I had to put it off till next year and exclaimed, "I'm pushing all of you forward but you're all dragging. If not, by now you'd be doing your G8 already!"

Um, a G8?
Why is it that I feel I don't even make a good 5th grader at all?

Crunch time : It's a goodbye.

OVER.
That's what it is.

I'm officially out.

It's a love-hate relationship with the Unit. After 2 concerts, a couple of shows, and many rehearsals, I'm finally calling it quits, albeit reluctantly.

Coupled with objections, obligations and priorities, a decision was made. It is this decision-making part that comes with growing up that I really abhor. You learn that you can't have the best of both worlds, that there's only so much you can do with 24 hours that day, that there's so much and so many people to account to other than yourself.

Fought back a tear or 2 during that 2 hours recollecting and watching them rehearse for the upcoming concert in July. Felt a bit left out.

Damn.

I wonder if I'll get to touch those instruments again. I'll miss the times spent with you people!

For now, goodbye SPU.

some updates

Finally sick.

I haven't been able to blog simply because I have been working, and would be working now if I hadn't taken an mc for a good rest today.
Must be that blardy air-con's fault!

I get winter everyday in my office/ the weather's not been good/ I slept late to watch some good tv on Sunday and Monday/ I wake up early everyday.

Did I mention I met some really good Samaritans last Friday?
We were caught in the rain during banking, and were contemplating how to beat the 2 traffic lights across the street. This man and woman ( I don't know their relationship ) offered to shelter the 3 of us to our destination. We were pleasantly surprised and VERY relieved. 1 remarked that in the future, she'd take her brolly wherever she goes just so she could do the same if need be. It POURED that day and when I finally returned to the office, I was drenched.

On Sunday, I visited the career fair with Celia and CW, but not before having some baked rice. It wasn't all THAT good, and it made me crave for Swensen's baked rice even more. We then did a little window-shopping at Marina Sq. and decided to leave at around 5 to beat the crowd. BUT, we were on our way back when we walked past this Jap. restaurant ( i forgot the name of that restaurant ) and I casually remarked, "My friend told me the ice-cream here's not too bad."
I must have triggered off some hunger pangs, especially in my friends since they had lousy pasta for lunch. We succumbed and asked for a serving of vanilla ice-cream with Strawberry sauce. It was heavenly~~~
They served o-cha and CW squirmed everytime she took a sip. Celia thinks that taking a hot beverage and eating cold dessert at the same time wouldn't sit too well with her. I was fine with it though.
And so, we caught up quite a bit over the ice-cream and forgot the time. Needless to say, we didn't beat the crowd and got pancake-d in the train.

I hope I'll be well enough to return tomorrow. I think there're a few stacks of stuffs in the office to clear. Shits.
