i had the slackest job today EVER and literally spent 3 hours surfing the net! but it got boring after awhile and what my senior said was so true: you always want a moderate amount of work. not so much until we are swimming with water over our heads; but enough and with sufficient time so i can actually feel i am learning something. i must be slow, it has only hit me after one month that there are actually so many amazing learning opportunities and room for growth even in the most mundane things; i should go to work more focused, energetic, ready to learn even from things like interacting with clients! even though the industry is so depressing and so many people are resigning on a daily basis. all-time motivational low.

last wednesday my buddy finally took me out for the Buddy Meal, compliments of the company. we had a $80 budget for 4 people and she took 2 friends along... so we ate sushi tei! it was deeeliiiiccioouuuss and damn shiok. i love that place, totally value for money. they were very funny and talkative and it was good to chat until past 10.

then on friday i FINALLY dated cj and wayanu. hahaha! we had pizza and pasta at some hawker centre in bukit batok, highly recommended by cj. and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. it was cheap and absolutely fantastic; freshly baked thin-crusted crispy pizza with the cheesiest of toppings and vongole pasta. and the portions were HUGE, cj and i went from mega-hungry to mega-full.

our play-with-sparklers-plans were quite ruined by the rain! so instead everyone camped at my house, watching stupid videos, laughing at old jokes and simultaneously all trying to talk to dineth online. it was FUN and relaxing ((((:

and to finally top it off we HAD to re-enact our famous photograph from secondary school, everybody assuming same kok position and expression. AHH HONESTLY i still don't look much different from secondary school, that nerd face is STILL THERE.

and finally! i had the longest halloween on saturday ever. i woke up at godforsaken 6am to peijun's phonecall; after talking for about 15min, i then went down to meet honghan james and kenneth at kranji. and we proceeded to drive to JB! we got slightly lost but FOUND THE PLACE; ate wanton mee for breakfast, and then went go-karting. which is AWESOME, absolute adrenaline rush, and unfortunately i am always the slowest and they are busy overtaking me. but it is still awesome!

we had a japanese lunch in citysquare before reaching singapore by 1plus! then i proceeded to watch many episodes of shows and slack until it started pouring at 6pm and estelle and suyi turned up. our intended prawning plans were canceled; instead, we went to eat damn yummy zi-char at some random place in bishan! and in true loserish spirit, we went to wait for pool but the queue was so long we abandoned all plans and watched the exorcism of emily rose while drinking alcohol. halloween effort indeed. and by then everyone was absolutely knackered and went home to K.O.
