I'm happy to be employed, and time seems to be passing indecently fast, but unfortunately it doesnt apply when I'm actually in the office. We're just practically living for two big moments during office hours from 8.30 to 5.30.
Typical day at work :
0830 Reach office, throws bag under the table, turn on computer, stone.
0845 Reads soccernet, manutd.com, newsnow - Man Utd.
0900 Goes to pantry, fills cup with whatever I feel like drinking.
0905 Working - zones out.
1000 "
1100 "
1200 "
1215 Promptly loses 100% efficiency rate and starts to disturb people around me.
1230 Lunch!
1315 Round of table tennis.
1330 Returns to work and promptly zones out.
1400 "
1500 "
1600 "
1715 Promptly loses 100% efficiency rate and starts to disturb people around me.
1730 Packs bag and joins the queue to tap out.

employment.
A nail biting finale, in which on that fateful morning I finally received the call from my would-be employers that they would be offering me the job instead of the faceless two other (tempted to use a really appropriate expletive that accurately describes them but decides not to) competitors that popped outta no where.
The start of the month spells out a new chapter in life for me, as I donned the uncomfortable office attire and put on leather shoes to kick start my CPF account.
The excitement of joining the workforce promptly lasted 10mins after I left my house on the first day as I battled with frenzied ah sohs (who strangely have so much energy so early in the morning) to board the bus filled with sleepy students, the working force, and the Crazies.
(I dubbed those that prefer to do their own stuff in the wee hours of the morning than to sleep in as the Crazies.)
Incidentally, just so that my day gets worse, the bulk of the people on the bus alights at the stop just BEFORE mine. So I will only get a seat for one stop. Lovely. Not to mention the next bus I take, if I don't get a seat, means I'll be standing for 15-20mins depending on the traffic jam on the expressway.
Luckily, I found a new way to work, the company bus @ kovan. So its like going back to the JC days all over again.
Work is more bearable when you have good friends working in the building/beside you/floor itself. Especially when we "bump into each other" in the pantry.

my best friends.
With all the technology now, where camera-less handphones are becoming rare breeds (eat that suffering pple in NS!), I find that it is still quite difficult to get a group photo with everyone present. Strange no?
Here are some rare photos of my favourite people all together with me.
The last photo is to make up for the bad photo of Alwin in the first photo. =D
