My week

This week kicked off with a nice romantic dinner with TE at Amici in Holland V. There was a1-for-1 deal, otherwise we would never eat there. Was hoping that the dessert of the day was their coveted tiramisu but tough luck, it was some coconut jelly thing. Having just eaten lunch with Jiaxuan 4 hours before that meant that I was half full when I embarked on my italian fiesta. By the end of it, I was ready to puke. Tian'en had to walk me out to sit on the curb while my stomach settle down.

At Amici, with the dessert that made my stomach upset. I thought I heard the waitress mention pina colada?

Mid-week saw me at UK Bound, an annual clubbing event held by Imperial College Singsoc. I think being there as a year 2 and as year 3 makes a difference. We're all getting old. Personally, I did not enjoy myself that much, opting to leave early by 1.30am. Never have I ever left a club so early on my own accord. I shall refrain from any details since it's over and this is a blog, so any comments would just be unconstructive.

Chongwai's farewell was on Saturday. When I first planned it, I had just returned. So his farewell seemed like a long time away. Sadly, the arrival of the event marks the beginning of countdown of my departure. Nostalgia aside, it was nice seeing everyone gathered in one room. Especially glad that Tian'en came with me, so he could meet most of my friends in IC. I always wanted us to have a life outside the world of two of us. Yesterday was a baby step for both of us. Definitely felt great to see Chongwai. Might not have much chance now since he is doing something big now. I mean everything I wrote, k, CW:D See u next yr!!

It's been eons since I mambo-ed in Singapore, since I never fancied those free sign language lessons that most seem to give. Give me hip hop anytime!


But last night's re-attempt at mambo had been both the best and worst experience.


Best experience, as in best mambo session I had so far. The guys in the club scene have visibly improved, though the same can't be said for the girls. I probably have Chinjie to thank, who promised to make me a convert (Zheng Yuan promised me before too, but he was wasted even b4 the real partay started!). That having said, I would still return to hip hop. Mambo just lacks some vibe which I can't place my hands on.


Worst experience, as in the worst loss of self-inhibition ever. It's astonishing how I made a vow never to drink to get high again, but I still drank to that purpose. It would be too easy to find an excuse blaming the boring dancefloor for the reason as to why I needed a booster alco-shot. I didn't get the "high" I was looking for, but received a loosening of my self-control instead. This may just be the one time which I feel like my moral calibre has been shredded to pieces. Ok, this may sound a little tooooo serious to those who were not present, so please hold your imagination in rein. It is more of a personal threshold which I have over-stepped, something which I am not very proud of.


I am not gonna elaborate over details and what I think etc, since this is a blog. But this is more to explain why I might be avoiding alcohol for the rest of this year at least. It may be said that drinking is fine in moderation but I do not trust myself enough. I do not trust myself to drink for the right reasons, neither do I trust myself to handle the effects of alcohol. I am not ready to put myself to the test yet.



And more importantly, I am not ready to lose my relationship yet.

Work sucks!

Haven't blogged much because there is nothing to blog about. Work is practically non-existent. A typical day starts with me entering IMRE, heading straight for the student PC room. There, I check my mail and read a book, until my mentor summons me with an sms. Sometimes, the sms would say that she would like to start in the afternoon, which meant that I woke up at 7am for nothing. Usually, I start at 10+ though:D However, after 1hour of work, there is usually a 3 to 4 hour waiting time, or even an overnight wait. If there is anything called wasting my youth away, this is it. No wonder so many of them said that their attachments were waste of time.

In fact, today, for the first time, my mentor was going to start on something novel. Of all times though, the machine broke down, so we can only start on monday. So I knocked off at 1pm. Honestly, even the $600/mth pay is not enough to compensate for my wasted time. I need to find time to do something!!


On a positive note, I have been rather lucky with meeting up with these NUS peeps. I managed to meet Tian'en most of the time when he is free (note that I said when he is free, not when I am free. That is because I AM FREE WHEN HE IS FREE. Urgh! Too much free time). I managed to meet Daryl for a good chat. I even managed to see Serene Lek (+bf. If Daryl didn't know the guy's name, I wouldn't have realised it was her bf... SNEAKY!!! DIDN'T INTRO!!!) randomly when I was with Daryl. Yuxin and I are attempting to play badminton together too.

See, how boring this gets... I have nothing exciting to talk about. I need to find some life soon.

SHIT!!!

That's all I can say, after finding out that Tian'en finished half day today, and gets to go home early to read his gf's blog.

Always look on the bright side of life

My life sucks at the moment because this is my1st week at work in NUS and Tian'en had to be at O-week (with 924650219304 little young things).
BUT
that means that I would have more time to go out with 92357441893 guys before he is free again. AND by the time he reads this, hopefully the week is over and it'd be TOO late! (Serve you right!)



My life sucks at the moment because unlike my previous attachments where I had my own private office, I would have to go to the student room this time round, when I am not needed.
BUT
that means that I can sneak off to meet my darling halfway through until I am paged!!!



My life sucks at the moment because I had an afternoon off at work today but found 39% of my phonelist to be overseas, 39% to be working, 9% to be studying, 9% to be unknowns, leaving only 4% that I can call. Out of these 4%, 100% did not pick up the call (hello?!?! 1130am?!?!!?).
BUT
that means that I decided to have lunch by myself (hold back your tears, please), at the NUS business canteen, spending only $2 :D Cab home, anyone?


My life sucks at the moment because I am working in a engineering lab and have to figure out all the physic terms used in the papers. (S waves, P waves, wavesforms?) using my bio background.
BUT
that means that I would laugh at you physicists and engineers when you try to lie to me about some cheemie concept.


My life sucks at the moment because I am working alone at IMRE, so I have no lunch buddy for this week! To make things worse, there're so many Imperial ppl working at MOE hq this year, but I am not at Biopolis!!! (Assuming they would have lunch with me. ZJ already rejected me:( )
BUT
that means that I would be able to meet up with my friends in NUS from next week onwards for lunch! AND ALSO EAT WITH MY DARLING FOR BOTH LUNCH AND DINNER. AND GO TO HIS RESIDENCE TO CUT ALL COMPETITION!!!!


My life sucks at the moment because I have to travel 1.5 hours to get to work.
BUT
that means...
that means... Sigh... NOTHING CAN MAKE ME LOOK AT THIS POSITIVELY!!!
