Days of my Life

I’m looking forward to this weekend. It’s going to be a triple celebration for me.

On Saturday afternoon, the Secondary School gangs are invited to Peiwen’s ROM. Another one of us is getting married. Peiwen is a seldom meet-up friend. In fact, the last time I saw her was 4 years ago. I can’t believed that I haven’t been following up with her. We went on a school trip to China together. To be precise, it’s Beijing and Xi-an. Other then the both of us, there’s also Cuiling, Chew Li, Weisi, Soozhen. It was also through this trip that Chew Li and I form a close bond.

Immediately after the ROM, we’ll be heading down to Mount Faber (around there) for BBQ @ WL’s Mum’s Condo. It’d been a long time since we last BBQ. When I was the Class Moniter for year 2000 and 2001, I organised one on each year. My class isn’t a very united one. Whenever there’s a gathering, it’s only the few usual faces that turned up. This few usual faces become what we called, friends for life.

There’ll be Vodka too. Cuiling even gave up her car for drinking. Haha… We’d decided to take a cab home together. 

Sunday morning is the Cousins Outing @ Sentosa. The last time the majority of cousins turned up for a Sentosa Gathering is like years ago. even the chaltes isn’t there anymore. What a waste. I’m planning to get a decent tan and to cycle around the tracks.

I can’t wait.

Valentine Day is round the corner. As usual, I’m without a mate this year. While on the phone with Shirmaine, updating each other with tales from ‘Days of Our Un-fabulous Lives’, I casually asked her, “V.day is round the corner! What’ll you be geeting him?”

“I don’t know leh!” She said, clearly resigned to fate. Just as I’d expected! Virgo can’t usually make up their mind. However, if it’s a 100 dollar bill lying on the floor, we won’t even need to think about it. It’s only right to pick up and put it inside our left breast pocket (don’t ask!). Finder-Keepers. “But I know what will he be getting me already!” She continued, happily.

“Oh! What?”

“It’s either a labtop or a Gucci bag!”

“Hmm…Go for the Gucci bag?” I kindly offered.

“But I want a new lab-top!”

“Why? Do you need a new one? Do you actually use it everday? And I though you have one already?”

“Yar! But mine is old already. I use mine like everyday! In the office!” She explained

“Oh then its easy! Go for the lab-top!” I said, happily. Finally we are getting somewhere.

“But still, it’s a Gucci bag!”

 -_-”

Shit! I’d made a miscalculation. My initial plan was to go for a Mambo Night before I’m due to start work and after getting Ang Paws. Mainly because I’m currently going through a ‘Monk More Then Porridge’ phase, and with extra income from Ang Paws, I could afford a trip before dropping my occupation as a Free Lance.

I though I had it all planned out, however, a flip through the table calendar had proved me wrong. Shoot! The training starts on the 12th and Mambo Night is on the 13th. How in the world did I make such a blunder?

M1 had called up, informing me that the appointment letter had been drafted. I’m scheduled on Friday to sign it. The law of attraction really works! Haha… WL’s respondent had also called him with good news. Congruts bro! He went for the interview on Monday, and was already complaining to me yesterday, “It’s Wednesday and they still haven’t called me!”

I was like, ‘Har-lo? I waited mine for like 2 weeks!’

Immediately after that conversation, that person really called him up. He’ll be starting work on the 18th. Which is like a week after me.

I still find that the feeling of spending the money made by your own means is great. Or say I say, a sense of satisfaction?

Though I haven’t got my paycheck, the both of us had made plans for a vacation. Most probably Hong Kong! Around October to avoid the holiday pay-hike.

I’m keeping my fingers cross that I’ll be able to make it through the training phase and the probation phase. Have to start applying the law of attraction again. Visualise…
