8:17 PM

Tomorrow, when I dash up the escalator with my usual flustered expression because I am late for the umpteenth time, it will be my last. When I fumble around for my pass and will Time to slow down, there will be no reason to. I will be tempted to tell the people over the phone that they can always look for me, because I won't be. around
You see, it's my last day of work.
I know, it sounds terribly melodramatic, but it's not. Really. I am well aware that this is part of the many dogmatic procedures that have to be followed, streamlining of staff for the new intake, considering my stellar performances, well I'm not surprised at all. In fact, I feel as though an entire weight has been lifted off my shoulders. To my wonderful colleagues who always invite me for lunch breaks, and chloe, jiaxin, sherry - I know this may be a (dramatic sob) painful parting but fear not, we will meet again in August (:
Jiaxin the Bimbo! All your camwhoring moments, air-headed comments about "The Shredder", annoyance at irritating TPs, Auxworking for your cafetaria break. Thanks for the memories!
Sherry my recent seating partner! It was really nice catching up with an ex IJ girl, as I have already said, and it was great to crack you up with all my cold jokes. Thanks for the cup of tea you made in my Amazing Hermione Granger mug, assignments you forwarded, and basically your sound advice on alot of Life's Issues. Fear not, my friend, uni I hope awaits us and I will see you around.
Meet ups have been wonderful, God is starting to come back in my life with all his Little Signs that reveal many. Last week was great, 17 again with the triquettra gang - Nikki, Fripps, Grace - Efron inspires me with his hot body heehee, and his easy charm. Plus the pretty face can act! Lunch at Taka, benchwarmers we were while trying make ourselves heard above the whoosh of the fountain. Friday was Dinner with Fishy, at this Chippy-like place but only less salty and Gosh I love their British Pop soundtrack. Then off for amazing Fuel - the session was somehow particulary relevant because it was the exact passage that I was pondering on throughout Holy Week in Luke, and I hope Brother/Sister will be able to answer my questions the next session. First time praying the Divine Mercy, hands that never held the rosary for awhile, but it just felt like I was reawakening in honesty. God, even though I'm not the best Catholic around, just seeing dearest Salameh present Faustina's works of mercy and talk about faith just made me realise that You empower those who submit themselves to Your will. Despite her crazy bouts and rambles, it's truly inspiring how people can speak such perfect sense in Your presence.
This week was mainly workworkwork, CL on Thursday particularly productive, managed to return my library books, go to school to meet Councillors for lunch, collect SGC, saw my SUPERVISOR on the way back, settle EZlink card, and borrow new books!
And today the reason why I am particulary happy is because, I had a trip to the ZOO! (: Met Fishy and SYT this morning, bumped into Clare while encountering nasty ATM withdrawal. Albeit the freaking crowd, ZOO was greatgreatgreat (: I think I was the only excitable one today because the last time I went was like what, primary school excursion? We walked around entirely and lunched before I headed back home.

Lord, I know this seems terribly ironic, but ever since I stepped down, I feel so relieved. I have never felt this way before in 2 years, but it just feels so good taking a break from everything, not worrying that the group isn't being publicised enough or lacks efficiency and the spiritual growth. I know, there are people who need me more, but at this very moment, selfish as it may sound, I think I deserve a break. Sash is right. Time to smell the roses for once in my whirlwind life, get the priorities right. Lord, help others to accept the decisions I make and for me to remain optimistic.

There is so such thing as a bad decision. There is however, such a thing called timing, and perspective.
