all i did was read the manuals and notes. gosh the mechanics are very similar.. imagine. 8 hours of reading and glued to my chair.
however, on the positive side, i was really welcomed into abn. people there are so nice and friendly. met the big boss and whoa! she really has high expectations. she hopes for me to go online next monday! freak out! well it was also a surprise how small the call centre is.
went to my childhood friend's wedding yesterday. met a number of my sec school seniors and a few others. it was a pretty strange feeling cuz u haven't seen them in ages.
but. my whole point is... there was also a girl whom i knew and was from the same batch. is it that hard to let go the grudge that we had since many years ago? i just don't get it..
my toe is now nail-less and it's so cacat! ironically i find it amusing rather than disgusted at my nail-less toe. haha.
well the apparently farewell party at o bar didn't turn out that bad. a tad disappointing tho cuz some people weren't able to turn up at the last hour but its alright; at least they have the courtesy to drop an sms. well that helps and it won't keep me hanging. still had a blast with gerard, of course. the rest of the company includes ivan, linda, eugene, cheryl, zac, jordan & joyce. thanks for coming guys, really appreciate your company. for the first time, i finally got to meet adeline, one of gerard's good friends. coincidentally, both adeline and jive were there. hmm. well adeline was a real nice girl. :)
on another note, the most incredulous event of the night was not about the party itself. not about almost getting drunk resulting from another tequila shot which was sponsored by gerard's friend. the fact that i actually suggested to get a pair of flats at plaza sing for that night. well i didn't know what shoes to wear and ended up with a pair of umcomfy heels. jokes. to prevent further whining, gerard unbelievably agreed to get my flats at x:odus after getting our hands stamped at o bar. but hey it was worth the money spent on the pair of pretty flats!
**thanks darling, i love u! tee hee..**
oh well.. i should reading the abn employment package now..
the day has arrived and passed. it was such a memorable day - 23 Nov 05
sad to leave gerard. no more lunches. no more sneak peeks during working hours. no more smoke breaks together. on the other side, for consolation, we have a whole lifetime together. like how we always phrase it, 'We have to move on'. well.. can't possibly work in the same office for the whole of our lives ya?
gonna miss lotsa a people espcially suzanna, elyssa. suzanna being one the closest friend there. my confidante. elyssa for being such a wonderful person in all - a mentor & a friend.
well now i'm glad i'm out of the hell hole but still very sad to leave the people there. july 04 - nov 05. something that will remain in my mind & heart.
so now i have abn amro to look forward to.
it doesn't end here. its a new beginning.
to those office peeps, if u happen to read my blog.. see u all on friday night at o bar!

nice yummy pizza.. craving for pizza again. bought them and shared with people in the office. that was satisfying.
it was pretty quiet at nigt except for some people who voices are loud enough to be heard. sharing their jokes. how i'm gonna miss that. gonna miss everyone in the office. oh. well almost everyone.
sometimes i dont understand why some people love to exaggerate. sigh. (mo darling i'm not referring to you)
i'm losing my voice now. should i go see a doc? how to work with low, husky voice?
i'm suffering from a mild heahache now due to the aftermath of standing in the cold night drizzle. plus i'm having mild flu too. my nose is blocked and my throat hurts. should i see a doc again? i just recovered from the same flu like symptoms last month and this is recurring. is it strange to have flu again after less than a month of recovery? nope did not get into any close contact with live birds.
this is terribly mentally exhausting. it hurts. all hurts..
yesterday was a wee bit of a disappointment. many didnt turn up at my place. on the brighter side, totally enjoyed the company of ivan, linda, zac, cheryl, oz & family, suz, elyssa and euwyn. needless to say, gerard. of course my family included. enjoyed ivan's presence. how linda can miraculously stroke Flaky without getting bitten. how zac & cheryl came and the nonsensical talk came about. totally enjoyed suz, euwyn and elyssa's company as we talked non-stop thru out the night. these people are deifnitely gonna be missed.
it has been confirmed my last day will be on the 23rd. that is like 9 more days to go. seems like it takes forever. sigh.
thank god i am leaving. the place is getting from bad to worse. they won't even let me clear my annual leave. fuck place. so many people are damn unhappy. good job is all i can say.

its hari raya! oh well.. hari raya now wasn't exciting compared to those times when i was still a kid and licensed to collect ang bao from relatives. hee. now its my turn to give those lil brats who thinks $2 is very little for an ang bao. tsk tsk.
yay! i am so looking forward to the end of tis month. woo hoo!! no more hsbc. yay! about 3 weeks more. yay! so happy!!!
cant think of anything more to blog about.... ciaos..
i did it! signed the letter of offer! so looking forward to going over to abn. yup, gonna be part of the raffles place crowd. i prefer to work in town tho.. in a month's time or so i have to be part of the morning rush, have to get up a lil earlier than usual. i'm so excited! i hope the current management don't give me hell. well they have that reputation as far as i'm concerned. woo hoo!
was surfing thru friednster and found that 'acjc prom' was one of the highest searches. the inquisitve me took a click on the link and found many pictures of prom nite. nice memories. loved the way people dressed - over dressed i mean. loved the way we all took photos of the 'last night'. of course loved the time spent on the dinner table that we didn't even have to pay a single cent. thanks to our great idea of crashing! love my glut friends!! miss u guys!! in retrospect, AC had given me a new found way of life and i'm thankful for it.

It is not time or opportunity that isto determine intimacy;-- it is disposition alone. Seven years wouldbe insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others. *FaeryVixen*
