Does him being able to recognise my number mean anything at all? The feelings I used to have for him bubbled out. Perhaps this isn't a good thing.
I'm pretty stressed at work; too many things to remember, too little time. My shi fu's leaving tml.. So I'd be our boss's full-fledged PA on mon.. Seems worrying, doesn't it? Although responsibility is good, it brings with it stress and worries.
My driving lesson has been postponed to sun; my instructor doesn't think it's a good idea to have my first lesson during peak hours..
Sighs. As you can see, my thoughts are disjointed now. And I know the reason why. :(

Hmms. 1 week of work has flew past and it's now monday again.. I would say that I'm learning quite a fair bit, and have been enjoying my work.. But this definitely isn't my calling. Now, it seems as though everything I've tried isn't my thing. Then what is? I'm kinda worried. What if one day I decide I don't like i banking after interning at one of the i banks? *groans* I worry myself at times..
The past week has really been interesting, adapting to a new work environment, colleagues and all.. I'd say that the interns and my younger colleagues are pretty affable, but with regards to the rest.. well, let's just say they aren't exactly welcoming. My boss's pretty intense; he's serious about his work. I guess he isn't the easiest person to work for, with his exacting standards, but 'tis alright, I'd probabaly live. I tend to be sloppy at times, so I gotta keep myself in check or risk getting a dressing down.
My weekend was a harried rush, with sat being spent shopping around the suntec area with hx, dinner with the family at jln kayu, and sun in a even bigger whirl of activity. Tuition was first, followed by lunch and shopping with shan at orchard, tuition again, then dinner and drinks with sc n mar at serangoon gardens. :) I'm a happy gal though. All set for a week of work. Not so sure if I'm keen on every one of the remaining 8 weeks though.
Oh. I've passed my basic theory!! Haha. Spent less than 15mins doing the test and rushed out to apply for my pdl before going down to work.. yay! I'm starting lessons this wed; hope I won't run into any trouble.. *crosses fingers*
Another piece of good news: I've been accepted to the modern languages programme at penn! ;D I'd be living in german house, this whole floor of german speaking students.. hopefully my german won't deteriorate then..

Work
The last week of R&R before starting work was wonderful.. Met up with jiali and yanglin at holland v for lunch on wed. Yanglin kindly treated us to crys jade la mian xiao long bao. :D We had a nice chat during lunch. Kinda miss our ICES days.. too bad alex wasn't around. ;P Went on to tampines after lunch to get my white belt and key pouch from espirit as it was the last day I could use my 30% discount voucher. I wanted to get lime juice, and was worried that it wouldn't be sour enough. A nice boy behind the counter offered to squeeze an additional 10 limes into my juice.. hee. It was totally sour and yummy!
Went down to the american embassy on thurs to apply for my visa. To my relief, the interview was not the least bit scary. It seemed more like a conversation than anything. :) I was told to collect my visa the coming mon and got it without a hitch. ;) Met mum and sis for lunch at crys jade ginseng (korean) before going down to marina square for some shopping. Strangely, I felt really tired throughout the day. Perhaps it's the stress of applying for my visa.. Got a starbucks frappucino with coffee jelly to perk me up for tutoring later on...
The next day, mar, peach and I went cycling at ecp early in the morn. We spent 2 hrs jetting around, mostly chatting, before taking the bus down to orchard. At my insistence, we lunched at zingdo where I had my beef bi bim bap (again). Hee. I'm definitely a creature of habit. We shopped around, and I bought a lovely denim skirt from mambo.. There was this sale at isetan orchard and the skirt was really worth it. :D shh. don't let my mum know though. She was alr hopping mad about the 2 denim skirts I bought in hk.. Mummy can't tell them apart though. :X
Sat was peach's birthday!! Haha. I met shan at singpost for breakfast at coffee bean.. and went to the cll with her before meeting peach and meera at raffles city for lunch at aiwo.. It was totally delish; I stuffed myself silly. Peach had no idea though, what laid in wait for her.. ;) *sneaky grin* We took the train with meera to orchard (she had to go to work at borders) and went shopping. I bought a pair of beige-coloured 3 inch stillettos to wear to work (but have yet to wear it).. and Peach got her black bolero which caught her eye the day before.. :) The 2 of us had lots of fun wandering ard.. And then came the time to take the train back. I told peach that I'd be gg to my grandma's house (which is v near pj's house) for dinner.. On the train, I asked if I could go with her to her place first at my grandma was at her friend's house and forgot about the time.. *chuckles* To pj's surprise, mar, huiming, jo and tim were inside her house!! Haha. Apparently pj was suspicious as she knew I called her mum, but didn't guess we were throwing her a surprise bbq party! Hee. Sharm, pradeep and li hang turned up after that and we had a really fun bbq+chat even though the fire took ages to strengthen.
Hmm. Somehow what I did on sun eludes me.. I'd presume I spent the day lazing ard at home then. Hehe. Ahhh. And gave tuition in the aft. :)
Mon was my first day at work! I was pretty apprehensive going into a totally new environment and all, but my worries were unfounded. There's many nice friendly interns in my dept! :) Esp allan who's my predecessor teaching me the ropes. I'm really glad for him since it'd be way more difficult being taught by my busy boss.
