I’m in my brother’s room lying on his bed using my laptop because 1) we’re bored and 2) he had instant noodles just now – the smell made me walk in. HAHA.
He just messaged me on MSN and said Hi, so I had no choice but to reply “burp” whilst burping in real life too.

SO ANYWAY, I know I said I’d post a proper post about a week ago but never got round to it because well, lazing around got the better of me.

For the benefit of those I haven’t had the chance to personally update yet, and for people like Tania who stalks me and apparently feels connected to her friends here through their blogs, HELLO! Haha.

Since a week ago, I’ve been officially unemployed! Hehe. Yea, I know I sound exceptionally cheerful about being jobless – that’s because I am! I was at SPOON Creative as an Accounts Executive. No, not dealing with financials but with clients. Essentially account servicing. It was 7 months there, and I swear, after this stint, I really am never going to take a up a job purely because of the money again.

It’s not the company was bad or I couldn’t get along with the people there. Quite the contrary actually. Everything was good – the bosses, colleagues, hours.. I just hated my job scope. I initially took up the job because I wanted exposure into the design industry before I go ahead with my studies, and I couldn’t apply for the post of a designer because of a host of reasons, much as I would love to.

Liwei told me of the opening for an AE, and I went ahead to apply because given my background, it’s something that I can handle. It was after a couple of months when I realised I couldn’t carry on with the job because I was getting increasingly bored and frustrated with the job scope. I never blogged about it because I think it’s flipping unprofessional to bitch about it openly on your blog.

The people at SPOON were what made the 7 months bearable, and ultimately a whole lot of fun especially in the last 3 months or so. We’d constantly drive out for lunches because we’re all just so sick of the food at Tiong Bahru Market, which is right next to us. The constant yelling and shrieking in the office was insanely fun because everyone’s crazy.

When it was time for me to leave, I didn’t think that I’d miss them and feel as sad as I do about not seeing them everyday. Beyond the crazy fun we have in the office, they’re also a bunch of madly sweet people who’d drive out and travel with me when I had to get admission stuff done for school (which I’ll talk about in abit). If you didn’t already know, I really was very very touched when all of you took the time off even when you had work to do to have lunch farther away just so I had a convenient way of going to get my stuff done.

Over the months, I think I started to care and love them more than I thought I would. A couple of my Saturdays have also been spent with Charmaine, Roy and Liwei as well as Charm’s 2 cousins cos we’d all babysit them together. I loved those Saturdays and I really would like more to come.

I miss the Spoonsters, as they’re affectionately called.. I miss the morning JOLENEAREYOUHUNGRY!!!!s, and the constant LIWEISHUTUPLAa.

And although I really did feel like killing Liwei many times during the 7 months, he can be undeniably sweet:

tube:
for about 5 – 6 years i’ve only been a virtual friend to you
and vice versa.
and suddenly you are part of my working life
and suddenly you are gonna go off again
i just feel like someone stole ice cream from me

On my last day at work, Charm and Roy cancelled their date night dinner to have dinner with me – thank you!! I really do appreciate it; it made me happy hehe. Charm, Roy, Liwei, Andee and myself headed to the Fish Bistro at Hillcrest where I finally had my cod fish!!! I’d been craving for it for AGES. Sighhh, unfortunately it was much too fishy for me so my cod fish craving is still unsatisfied. The food there is really good though!!

We headed to Klee after that, this tucked away bar at Portsdown. It’s a really lovely place where they don’t have a menu and the bartenders will mix up something for you. The strawberry sake cocktail is AWESOME. Plus, they’re really nice. Photos another time!

Before we left office on my last day, we took tons of photos with Photobooth!! I love how they’re all crazy and fun-loving. My favourite kind of people to work with!

And here are the mad Spoonsters…

Liwei and myself!

With neoprints that we all took months ago during lunch! haha!

Me with the panda that they all got me for my birthday!! And Liwei with..... Fluffy. HAHAHA!!

AHAHAHA OMG LIWEI IS RETARDED!

And by then, I was laughing like mad. PLEASE LOOK AT CHARM. HAHAHAHA

WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A NORMAL PHOTO.

One of my favourites because everyone's just doing their own thing!

Hahahahaha!! Damn, posting the photos up was very fun! I was laughing like a crazy seal in front of my Macbook whilst trying to format this entry. Hahaha, I MISS THE SPOONSTERSSSSS. I’m sure we’ll meet soon! Hehe.

So what happens now that I am jobless? Heh heh heh.. Lots of slacking and lazing around, of course! My sleeping pattern’s whacked but no matter, they’ll be back to somewhat normal next week, YOU KNOW WHYYY? *annoying face*

Because………..

Before I go on – LASALLE’s Degree course takes 4 years, including the Foundation Year. Year 3 (which is the fourth year) is the Degree year, i/e if you stop studying after Year 2, you’ll graduate with a diploma.

When the interviewer kindly offered me direct entry into Year 1, I was thrilled! I’d found out during the interview that what will be taught in Year 1 will be fine with me, even without taking the Foundation Year. Praise God! I thank God also for His presence with me, for when I walked into the interview room an immediate sense of calm fell upon me.

I’m incredibly excited to be going back to school! With that excitement also comes anxiety – I worry that I won’t get used to having to do assignments and projects when I get home. For the past 3 years, when I get home all I do is unwind and go online for fun! Sheesh. Hahaha..

Oh, and I also worry about making new friends. AHAHAHA. Oh shuddup, don’t laugh at me! It’s trueeee.

Despite the nerves, my screwed sleeping pattern and having no income, I’m way excited for what is to come, as well as being very happy that Pinkie is coming home in 4 days! His exams end tomorrow, after stretching over a period of one month. Mad.

I cannot cannot cannot cannot wait to squish you. HEE HEE!

And now that I’ve FINALLY blogged this super long crazy post of updates on my life, I will reward myself with Timtams + cold milk! LIFE IS GOOOOOD! =))
