2:47 PM

I feel exceptionally blessed for having such a circle of amazing colleagues, classmates and councilmates. Even though this week was terribly hell for being in and out of a fever that refuses to subside, thanks guys for the texts and messages. And I really needa be more careful with my hp. I get a missed call now and most of the time it's someone I don't know.
Peak period was horror of horrors! The phone was perpetually AD and to those who think having a desk bound job for office hours sounds slack, you better beg to differ. Talking to people for 7.5 hours a day is no joke, seeing as how you don't know anyone of them. Despite this and my scratchy throat, I guess one fulfilling thing is when they thank you profusely for adhering to their requests or when they launch indifferently about their own personal lives. Each phone call I get is a tiny glimpse into another world somewhere in this sunny island, or even overseas in seamy Shanghai, or wild Africa, or busy New York - I think it's particularly amusing when the bulk of them are housewives who politely tell me to hold while they holler at their children to start the comp/shut up/put that away.
This week is a bit saddening, because my lunchmate Aru is resigning in search of greener pastures, now I have nobody to eat lunch in the pantry with ): Well, I hope I can get another job soon because I prefer a change while I can.
As for my social life, this weekend was an anomaly because I got to meetupmeetups! The talk at the campus was quite interesting, met up with Ellice and bumped into other CJCians as well. And the bus driver was obviously an ex F1 racer, judging by the way he rode his double decker - one would have just flown off if we weren't holding on tightly, he accerelated through all the speed stripes, skipped busstops and overtook another bus! Reached the MRT in record time.
Then it was off to meet my beloved classmates for late lunch/early dinner at Fish and Co at PS. Somehow I seem to be getting acquainted with this place fairly often. Catch up was great! And so was walking around Carrefour listening to HW's theatric stories. I bought ice cream for the family! Unique flavour rather.
I am also reading The Love Secrets of Don Juan, which is really hilarious because it's the personal insight of a man who is terribly unlucky in his love life.
And yes yes Marie, we must meet up soon! Maybe a nice CA gathering also - sounds like a plan heh.
