Year 2005 at a glance
Hee... was reading lao da's blog and thus kinda inspired to do a flashback on year 2005 as well. Well, 2005 was indeed a very special yr for me... It is the year when i get my big break from studies and then step into the next big phase in life.
Digress abit back into December 2004... hahaz... worked in the same vcd shop company as lao da for like 8 days only... i won't even consider it as my 1st job and i would gladly omit it in my curriculum vitae... hahaz... and thus i consider my 1st job to be the 1 in stb.... n gosh... i stayed there for like an eternity of 7 months...
At the start work was very enjoyable... i dunno why also... i wasn't doing anything exciting... maybe cos i am occupied and i am away from the stress that school gives. Then comes 2nd week of January... meng meng come to stb too! I was so happy that i can finally have a lunch kaki... n thus i got to know da jie da Christine & Zhen Wei...
Soon after Da jie Da left but the temp club began to grow... Our peak period was when there's me, meng, Adeline, Zhen Wei, Pet, Serene and Xing Ni. It was like such a big group when we turn up for lunch in full force... hahaz... until we became sort of 'famous' that people started to ask me where's all my friends when the temp club strength began to fall... until it's back to me and meng again... The peak period was definately one of the most enjoyable times i had over there... where everyday we'll bother abt where we shall go for lunch... and sometimes getting sick of the food in Tanglin mall.
Then also comes the part of A level results in March and planning for the next step ahead... was really caught in a big dilemma to choose between NUS and NTU but i finally decided to go with my initial choice of doing Chemistry at NUS and i have no regrets about the institution i had chosen so far.
Soon after it was the period of April/May... that's when the excitement of work wears off... maybe i am kinda influenced by Adeline... but anyhow... i began looking very much forward to the weekends like the school days and going to work with a very sian mentality.... The period when Adeline was around was also a period of goofing around in the toilet, pantry and balcony... hahaz... so when she left... i was like so alone.
As i got so sian of working... decided to embark on a mini get away to Genting during the last week of june with bel bel... though it wasn't an out of the world trip... it was a good get-away... after which i returned to work for 2 weeks and left on the 2nd week of July.
Afterwhich comes all the preparation for school. Going for talks, matric fair etc etc and a short break before SOW starts.
Went for SOW at the end of july/early August... i was very anti-social at the start... always sticking to Si Ling and some of the junior gals. However the overnights spent in the tutorial rooms playing wolf, sleeping in sleeping bags in the cold air con room and supper in NUH soon brought us closer to each other. I'm really glad to have met this group of people as they are the only ones whom i got to know only in uni and hang out with. Last but not least, not forgetting the
So lessons started in August and Monday was the killer with Basic Inorganic Chem lect at 8am! Gosh... generally my time-table was quite slack and i am like so so slack too... no lessons on friday but i went back every friday night for harmoc lessons. And as usual, when there's school, there's the worry and anxiety over school work, tests, exams and boring lectures... glad tat i have friends together with me for chem and the killer chinese tradition...
4 months passed soon after and then exams came in november ... can still remember all the stress and worry we were having... It was a draggy one week b4 the exams ended...
Just one wkend after the exams ended... i went back to stb to work again... this time there isn't any dreading feeling of going to work... just the hope that i can stay in bed longer... hahaz... Generally it was quite enjoyable... except that i was wishing i can slack at home when i just started work... isn't that wat everyone wants to do when exams just ended? N also sometimes see the com screen too long see liao also sian la... but as i mentioned before... it was fun to assist in running the assessment centre... I guess the job assignment is just a short one month... that's why it was enjoyable... hahaz
N in the middle of December there's harmoc camp too... where i was less anti-social compared to sow... where i had fun and got lost in the midst of the tau-gays scores at the same time... where i skipped wet games cos i'm too lazy to wake up early and missed some of the sessions cos i went back to work... and when i almost did a disappearing act away from home... only going back to sleep at night... until i felt that i miss being at home when i finally go back for dinner the week after.
This year is also the year where i had a most enjoyable Christmas. This is the 1st time i really got involved in gift exchange, get together with friends and indulging in xmas goodies.... n not forgetting having a xmas tree near me! n the first time i help to put up some decorations on the tree... n as i was doing it, i realised that hey, i dunno what to do man... nv did it b4.
Yep... that's year 2005 for me. It is indeed the most unique year i have so far... different from the ones i had from 1986 to 2004 and i loved it! Happy New Year everyone! It's time to welcome year 2006.
