Last week I completed a few days' work at one company in Shenton Way. It was a typical sedentary office work in which one can find himself/herself staring at the notebook the whole day till his/her eyes can drop out of the sockets any time. No kidding, this was what I found myself in. Perhaps I am not used to such office job, notably this is just my second time working in an office out of the various temp jobs I worked before. Even though the job scope is all about compilation of information (very much like doing project), however, it can get very mundane. At times I felt rather somnolent, but eventually still manage to churn out the work required. K told me that it is good training for my future career. This sets me thinking, am I going to slog in front of a notebook/computer for N years after graduation when I officially step into society to work? I shudder at the thought of it.
This week has been relatively relaxed. Cleaning up my room and stepping up on my workout regime the last few days. Next week I will be involved in an event at Vivo. Ain't sure where I am going to be position at but hope it will be fun. Got the job through F's recommendation and I pulled Z along. Am really glad the three of us passed through the interview because there seems to be so many eloquent people around. Well, I supposed either I managed to impress the interviewer by being pleasant(or at least trying to be) and speak fluently, or that my previous experiences in doing roadshows and events help. I think one of the cardinal things we must take note of when presenting ourselves is that besides trying to speak coherently, we should cut down on the 'uhmm' parts. You know, sometimes when doing presentations, one may find himself/herself subconsciously keep 'uhmmm' as the presenter tries to consolidate the thoughts in his/her mind before speaking. This should be minimised, as such pauses not only create an uncomfortable silence, but also reflects on the degree of confidence and preparation which the speaker should possess to a substantial level prior to the presentation. I am guilty of such comported way at times. This is something I seek to improve on all the time.
For the rest of this week, I look forward to seeing my boy again as tuition resumes. Not to forget, this friday is D-Day aka the release of results. D-Day can be Dreaded-Day, Dooms-Day, Death-Day..whatever. Hope that my mood for the rest of the day/week will not be ruined. Pray that I will do well !
Alright, don't think so much first. Today is Wednesday, which means tonight is party night at Butter Factory ! :D

Dbl O yesterday was FUN ! My first post-exam clubbing session turned out to be 1 of my best clubbing experiences. One may be curious, what factors culminate to be a good party? There are many diverse indicators, which are subjected to individual's preferences. In my opinion, a good solid group of clubbing kakis is a base. Follow by necessary drinks to get into the mood, good music to groove to and last but not least, a largely spontaneous and friendly crowd. To a large extent these mentioned criterias were met last night. :D
Since we were still feeling rather upbeat, the group of us club-hopped to St James after Dbl O closed at 3 a.m. The best part is that one of us is a member of St James. Hence, we were allowed free entry to explore around. This is my first time club-hopping, partly because I don't see the need to club-hop (unless the music is very very chui, which hasn't occur to me so far) and largely due to having to pay additional entrance fees. They should have some Gentlemen's Night so as to subsidise all the guys, but this is highly impossible. Gender equality will never be realised despite progressive egalitarian acts to even out the areas concerning both genders.
The party gang :D
So exams have ended two days ago, which also means that I have finished my first year in NUS. This time round, I felt more confident for all my papers as compared to last sem. Then again, all this is pure conjecture. I will do a review on this again at the end of this month when results are out.
Gotta spend the holidays wisely and meaningfully. Besides meeting up with various friends over activities such as movies, pool, food and partying, the important priorities are still to source for a temp job to supplement my expenses for this hols. Kind of tough I know, especially with the current economic climate. Moreover, I am not the only undergraduate who is having a 3 months holidays now. I also hope to rope in 1 or 2 more students. This sem's workload has been very taxing as mentioned before. That is why I am determined to allocate at least one free day next sem. One free day does make a lot of difference. Not to forget my promise to extract some monetary reward from the government, I am starting to visit the gym after a few months hiatus and going for regular runs. Personal grooming is an area to be look into too. My skincare regime has slackened considerably ever since from March onwards and I paid the price. Occasional outbreaks here and there, especially during the examinations period. This is definitely unacceptable.
