and all it seems, time do fly by and i'm into my second week of my attachment programme, out a happier person. Lots to be done, lots to be learn at my attached company. and 4 more weeks to go with the nice ppl there. and 4 more weeks of billiard and pool at the rooftop lounge.
the only thing tt bothers me is the distance. i mean from tampines to boonlay isn't exactly the distance i call near. and i'm just not a morning person. not ever since i entered poly. so waking up early and turning in early is definitely a chore for me. and working time before noon is horrible for me. i find myself dozing off more often than nt. and it takes more than a cuppa of coffee to perk me up... arrrgh... working generation.
which brings me to an interesting pt today. gotta know this prudential agent at the tampines interchange. whom i actually listened to her for a cool 30mins for her to introduce me to the saving plan they had. which i din took up of course. ya. and it turns out tt i spend more time interacting with her than the time she had in mind to introduce her to saving plans. and it all turns out to be chatting session on both occassion i met her. anyway, she's joanne. 23. an outdoor "enthus" (as she likes to call herself). and we find ourselves sharing various chat points. exchanged contact number and all. ( numbers so tt i can get back to her for the presumed saving plan thing and all for the well, further conversations). i mean tt is pretty interesting. i mean, to all of a sudden find myself a friend to be all because of something nt related. tt's way too interesting. ok ya. the job link, she worked 1100 to 2300 7days week to do promotions for her company. her job. but 7days a weeks 12hrs a day isn't exactly wad i call a nice working environment, despite the freedom to roam abt an area and having a outgoing mood all day long to chat up ppl to listen and sign up their saving plans. yet she stayed on the job and it is meant to her permament job. ( she told me so). and for tt, she worked for quite a long time. i mean tt's something applausible in my opinion. ok, for the past week i worked with machines and PCBs ( nt counting the colleagues i had, human interaction), i find myself yearning for freedom to roam. somehow, deskbound jobs dun really suit me for the moment. more often than nt, i find myself roaming the company or visit the washroom so as i have the chance to actually get myself on the move. despite being very busy with my task on hand.
and the ironic thing is i always wanted something stable for my career. my heart somehows decide otherwise. and damn it, i'm an engineering student. i duno how i gonna survive facing machines and computer-related stuff all day long for the next 30yrs of my life everyday. as in servicing. maybe tt's why i started to dread using the com when i get home, having rather to spend the time doing real life chats with some frens over dinner or at the coffeeshop, void decks. i dun remember i had much fun either doing retail sales at sportslink either. probably it was nt a busy job. i'm more of a person who enjoys doing things over busy doing nothing. i'm just not a very slack person. i dun deny the times when i wish i could just drop everything on hand an lazes ard, basking in the sun to enjoy the transquility and to ponder abt issue. but work wise, i relish challenges and well, basically doing things. yet i dun really like to follow thru the motion at times. hmmm contradicting. i'm such a difficult person to please.
so as i am following thru this attachment, i'm actually thinking of my future career. do i really want to be an electronic engineer? i realise tt i enjoy communication, working with ppl. which is ironic again, coz sometimes, i realise tt i spoke too much outside tt i rather remain silent at home. hmm... food for thought i guess. i am 19 this yr... and i gonna be in the working world real soon. it's really time to sit down and think abt my career path.
which i think that there will be a possibilty tt i wanna experience work for a yr or so before really getting into uni. and maybe i'm nt gonna venture into the electronic engineering field. which is like OMG. esp when i am doing tt diploma now and into my 3rd yr already.
and with tt, i realise tt i sidetracked a lot from my initial decision to enter polytechnic education. now i see it as an experimental 3yrs to consider whether i still want to consider electronic engineering. and with tt, i realise tt NTU, SMU and NUS wun be my college with my current diploma. if i wanted to have a change of major. of course if i am the top 5% of the cohort, it will be different. but i dun really dream of tt. esp after yr 2. hmm.. suddenly, i seems to be so stuck with my career path.
ok, tt aside. i realise tt once again, i'm getting in touch with all the ppl i lost contact with thru these yrs. and thank gosh, we are getting contacted again, ppl like wanling and cedric. nice knowing u all stil remembers me. and i've been going out for movies more often than ever. Date movie is nice. if u ask me.
and more damn nice movies are coming out. so prob next weekm it'll be dorm with vanessa and co, and i wanna watch, his,yours, mine( i forgot the title but i presume it sounded this way), failure to launch and shaggy dog. and tt breast cancer movie by mariam cheung.
and all it seems, my weekend is abt to draw to an end. and it'll be work work work. cheers =)
