End of Work/BBQ
It's been a while since I've updated. Work has ended about 2 weeks ago. School is starting. Holidays are over in the blink of an eye. Sigh. Time doesn't stop. 4 core modules this semester. And I'd be busy with FYP. Hope the FYP experience will be a good one. Not like my useless IA project.
Anyway, I'm glad work is over already. It was one very monotonous, boring and tedious one month. And my work environment isn't exactly very good.
Presenting to you, my work place. My desk. Or rather, just my chair. My desk was my lap. Or the floor.
The room was terribly crammed. And to think it was made even crammer with new boxes I had to packed before I left. There was only one single path from my chair to the door. And I couldn't even make a full 180° turn. I remembered when I first knew I had to work in the room, I thought to myself that fortunately, I wasn't claustrophobic. The room was also quite dusty.
So, that's how I spent my entire day at work. Sitting on that chair. Oh, and if you were wondering, the chair is actually broken. I feel that I was being paid to stone, stare into space and sleep more than to work. Or perhaps I was too efficient in sorting the mails. I definitely spent more time dazing and sleeping than actually sorting mails.
So what have I learnt from this work experience?
Firstly, I've learnt to squeeze 2kg amount of stuff into a bag meant to hold 1kg of items. Secondly, I think I've really built up on my patience. I could sit on that chair and stone for half the day. Thirdly, I've learnt to actually fall asleep while sitting in that tiny corner of the room - I've become quite a contortionist. Lastly, NEVER EVER EVER ask the bank to hold mails for you. Don't be lazy! If it's yours, you jolly well keep the mails yourself, and not make some poor soul have to sort, file and pack mails in a tiny dusty room.
I said I enjoy this job better than my IA in my previous post. Come to think of it, maybe I was too quick to judge. Hah. This job is quite terrible too.
Anyway, had BBQ with my pri/secondary friends. We didn't take any group photos (Why didn't we??! WhY?!) And this is about the best "group photo" I can find. Its the photo which has the most of "us" in it.
Cups with our names on it. Haha.
We had our BBQ somewhere very near my house (5 mins walk). Started at around 7, and BBQ'ed all the way till 12+. Talked alot about the past - primary school, secondary school and JC days. Reminiscing makes one feel old. Reminiscing has this bittersweet taste to it. Sweet because such memories are so dear. It reminds you of your past innocence and reminds you how much you've grown. Bitter, because it does just that. You come to the realisation that such times are long gone. So far from reach now...makes one wish that he should have treasured the days of the past more.
Okay, tomorrow is Sunday.
The very last day of this 3 months long vacation.
Time to go back to school.
But I want more holday, damn it!!!!!!!!
I don't want to go back to school!!!!!!!!
