Work has been undoubtedly tiring. It entails keying in employee's particulars into IRAS forms (IR8A AND A8A and so on). Gotta calculate the gross salary, bonus, commission, allowance, benefits-in-kind blah blah. There are so many components to sum up for each item. These shallow calculator buttons. I can hardly feel or know if I've pressed them right. Not to mention my constant dozing off as I key them in. At times, the server really gets on my nerves. As I'm keying in let's say 30 entries and have yet to save them, it hangs and I've gotta log in and key them all over again. There was an instant where I had to keep logging back in to key in just a single employee's entry. All that signing in an out took me 30 minutes okay. I logged in 8 times and every time I get in, it tells me my session hass expired because it has been idle for too long. Please! I just logged in??! So that situation got me really pissed that day.
There are good times though. I love eating lunch with April and the Figtree people. They are from the previous company I worked for. Surprisingly, my current workplace is situated in the same building so I always have the chance to meet them for lunch. The people in my current office always 'dapao' lunch back to the office. They eat and work simultaneously. I prefer to have a proper lunch and great fellowship over lunch and drinks. April and I have been discussing about the release of our results, the trepidation, the uncertainty of it all and the cluelessness of what course we're gonna take. It's really fun having her around. We'll giggle at really absurd and funny things Aleem and Beatrice say. Luke keeps quizzing everyone on Bible trivia. Hahaha!
Lately, there have been too many plane crashes to follow. Yesterday, a turkish airline crashed at Amsterdam's airport. Nine deaths. If only the Hudson river miracle happened for those casulaties. Life's but a fleeting moment. That's why everyone should live each day like it is the last. So easy to say. Too hard to do so.
Febuary's coming to a close. So far, this month, i attended Renette and Rachel's birthday. Jiejie treated mummie and I to NeworkNewyork. I wasreally happy cus I was so hungry. I gobbled down everything. The cheesy potato wedges were irresistable! Met up with the floorballer's for CNY at Mer's.
Last Tuesday, we had our monthly floorballers gathering at Plaza Singapura's Carl's Junior. I guess it's gonna be Dhoby Ghaut forever since it is the most central and convenient meeting place. We had plain dumb conversations with one another as usual. Just to list one.
Pris: Why aren't you wearing yellow?
Me: Huh, why?
Pris: Mango! Points at my mango shirt.
I remember walking away from Pris and Bingxin, rolling my eyes.
So we hanged out there for quite a while. It's great to catch up on things. I love the floorballers very much. They've been a huge part of my JC life. Though school's over now, I think about the great times we all had every once in a while. I miss those moments at the grandstand, in the gym, on the track, on the field, at the D. That morning, I was busy saving loads and loads of songs into Zhen's thumbdrive. I love the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, David Archuleta and Miley Cyrus songs. I don't quite like Miley though. She's plain annoying as a person. That's just my impression. Anyway, I was browsing through all the songs I have in my laptop and I found a song titled Over The Hills and Far Away. It was recommended by John Song. I remember him telling me how great the song is. It is a song he randomly downloaded and he was going on about how great his taste in music is. I remember listening to it on his ipod and thinking it was kinda cool. So I downloaded it and now listening to it again, it sounds really celtic and strange. Hahaha! John is really funny!
Talking about the Jonas Brothers, I've been watching their interviews on Youtube. Nick Jonas has diabetes. I didn't realise it was such a chore coping with diabetes until he said that he has to prick his finger 12 times a day to check his blood levels and he carries an insulin pump around and changes it every three hours. Imagine all therocking and jumping on stage with a pump. And I also just discovered that the song A Little Bit Longer was a song he composed about waiting for the cure for diabetes. All along, I thought it was a tragic love song. Little did I know he was talking about his condition. Oh man.
I remember my infatuation with Blue about 6 years ago. Right now, my infatuation with the Jonas brothers is different. I love them for their goody-two-shoes image. Here's a video of them on the Ellen just last week. I love watching Ellen!
