Life of guohui ...chp 344

30th Nov, it's almost a month after I ORD-ed, and life has been mundanely exciting, especially last week. So it has been a month of supper, long slumber in the cold weather or simply indulge in the little things I never got to do when I was busier. Imagine spending the whole day at the pool swimming at least 70 laps, and on to read newspaper till the sun goes down. Or simply joining my best neighbourhood friend(s) on a eating rampage from lasalle to orchard ION. OR simply hanging out at the basketball talking to umemployed NBS grads like weilong and played my fave passing game. Or just simply being a serious jobseeker, improving my resume everyday while I go for interviews only to find out that it's not a job I am looking for or being me not happy with the pay.

And so the application for RMIT came, I was accepted for both the PT and FT courses. Took me a few nights to ponder over it and I will most likely accept the PT courses. Henceforth, it will be a challenging 2.5yrs for me ahead. But that will leave me debt free by the time I graduate with 2 years of relevant working experience I supposed. Besides, travelling to SIM everyday for lecture isn't something I look very forward to. And nw my clouds has cleared, it's time for me to work towards my goal.

The past week was a total rollercoaster. Let's mentioned the happier times first. Yea, met up with xiao jing for the first time for lunch at Raffles City Shopping Center and we ended up chatting like no tml or rather she's a good chatting mate I supposed. There isn't much barrier and it certainly seems that we have known each other for a long time. But it was fun, though I didn't have a proper lunch.

And we met up over sunday, supposingly to rollerblade as she suggested but other than roaming at Parkway where we idle our time away eating "dinner" after my lunch at Singpost Mac, and off we go, with IKEA Tampines in mind. But after spending so much time wandering around bedok interchange, we ended up taking an adventure ride on 67 to chua chu kang. It was on the bus we had the idea of heading to Mustafa Centre but we missed the stop and we just alighted off any random stop at Bukit Timah. And off we went to checkout whatever's avail in the area, drooled over island creamery, burger shacks and other random restaurants. And it was adjorned to starbucks where we ended up talking again till 9.30 before we parted. meaningless day but nevertheless it was fun doing nothing. Hopefully, next sunday will be a sunnier day though.

And the down side of the rollercoaster? Van. The poor girl just broke up with her BF because of some ridiculous reason. One moment I was consoling her at 2am on sat night and two days later, we were talking about her family crisis, and the next night was spent at ECP carl's junior sharing about everyday under the sun from Area 51 to mediation to religion to mediation to our families to our point of view in relationship to how we met ( yea. I didn't realise it, we were pri sch mates, as well as kindergarden mates.) to simply anything. That's the up part of the rollar coaster. The down part? 5am in the saturday morning, she called when her world came crushing down. I spent the remaining night hours left consoling and listening to her. And never before had I hear her so heartbroken or crying like no tml. It was saddening. But yet, I couldn't scold her for all these. Met up with her and jason pang on sat night to just lean by her. She seems better after bloating her eyes and dirty-ing her white pullover.

But came sunday I wish I could just whack her to her senses and get her to her senses over the phone when she called to say she was so disappointed with herself. Thank goshness, the sensible van came back at night and talked senses to me. Hopefully she's alright for now.

It has been such an emotional rollarcoaster for her, which I thought such a good girl like her shldn't even be going through. But life's as such. It has been a mentally torture for me being her friend but it's not that I'm complaining. But I'm just feeling very sad for her. Esp when her family is going through a really rough patch. So it kind of affect me as well. And I thought I could just journal it down.

Anyway, Jay Jay is back from UNSW and I am looking forward to our DELTA gathering on 16 dec, dinner with the PCG ppl on 14 dec, Ms Wan and Mr So's wedding on 4 dec, uni registeration on the 10dec, and YES! the 2 hm ppl for lunch this week.

Life of guohui ...chp 343

and all too soon, the journey ended with a blink of an eye. Much to the contrary of many, I thought I actually I enjoyed my days in PCG; or perhaps Team Delta. I think I'll missed life being a coast guard and being out in the sea.

And the crazy things that comes with it, on and off duty.
And the ranting for the ever-increasing jobscope and deployment.
And of course, the people.

It's amusing how much I dreaded enlisting into SPF and ended in a place which I enjoyed my work.

nevertheless, a new phrase of life has started.
