The Couch Potato's Life

Saturday, February 21, 2009

The end of a chapter. The beginning of a new one.

I really think I felt like an ass when I told myself,

"Okay, perhaps I'll do a post on Valentine's Day."

Which I didn't do in the end.

Then I also didn't write about the last day of my attachment.

And what I've felt all these while.

Lotsa stuff to write.

So in correct chronological order, beginning from the last day of my attachment.

Here we go!


Let's see...

The last day of attachment. Truthfully, I can't really say it was a sad day.

Neither can I say it was a happy day, since I've finished my Polytechnic life.

Well, almost.

I finished up the last of the report and handed it to the project manager. Really placed a lot of effort and concentration into doing that report, since I would not be involved in the project after that day.

After submitting the report, I went to double check on my own IPP report before I gave my supervisor, Glenn, for checking and marking.

Then, the three of us had some photo sessions in the cubicle for memories.

Then, we signed out, returned our passes and left the building.

Without looking back again.

Really, I'll never forget those people at NCS. Especially Glenn, Tom, Sze Hwee, Gerand and many more.

They provided a good experience on how working life would be in a working environment. Not to mention, they are good supervisors too.

They'll guide you, help you if you're stuck.

Really, I'm gonna miss that place. And the work there. Not to mention the place at B6 where I put my 20 and 50 cents into a machine. =X


14th February.

1 day right after the last day of my attachment.

Comes this day, which I've spent alone for the past 7 years.

Correction.

Without a companion.

A partner.

And its the same for this year again.

By the way, we went to a the pub Eskibar on the 13th. Sudden decision made by Ganesh.

And I spent 22 bucks on that Golden Coke.

But, I didn't take any alcohol at all. And I'm really happy to be able to keep my promise till now.

Not to mention the real and extreme urge to even know how Absolut Vodka, or Barcardi, or even Chivas Regal tastes like.

I can only smell them. But I really don't know what's the taste.

Reached home at around 4 am?

And literally collapsed on the bed till the next day at 3pm. Which was Valentine's Day.

Went out around 5-6pm in the evening to walk in the mall for awhile.

Really, nothing much to do. All I see are couples, flowers, balloons and more couples.

But, sometimes.

The look on the faces of couples really show some interesting things.

Went back home after.

And slayed like 500-600 zombies.

So I can officially say,

"I spent the Year 2009's Valentine's Day doing nothing and slaying 500-600 zombies."


Ah well...

Back to present day, or today.

Went out to meet Lustre.

No seriously, some of my guys are gonna laugh at me for doing this.

But mehh... They're my friends. Whether in-game or not, I've known them for nearly a year.

And they're really good people.

Interesting.

Funny.

Communicable. One of them just needs some practice though.

Still, I have expanded my social circle.

Overall, I'm glad to have known more people.

Oh and did I mention, while we were taking the group photo, people were like staring at us.

I felt like an exchange student.

(!-_-)

But still, it was a pretty good lunch with them.

Other than the fact that I'm not eating any sushi or japanese cuisine for the next 2 months.

Keke! Might be looking forward to the next outing.

Heh.

3:08 am already.

Time to sleep. Gotta study tomorrow.

Still, can't forget what thoughts I have in mind.

Up till now, I wonder how does one find someone suitable for you.

Other than just knowing the person for a long time, there are those who click exceptionally well.

I'm revealing my weakness on not being able to look directly at their face and talk to girls.

Can't really bring out any communcative speeches.

Only those single-answer-yielding questions.

I need to talk more.

The End of Poly Life Nears.

Another 7 days more.

And its time to say goodbye. To some of the other people I've known during FYP and IPP.

And just today, I make a new friend.

All thanks to Zhiyang again.

Seriously, can't say anything better than the word "Thanks".

For introducing me to so many friends from SIT Club.

Well, except for something much better than "Thanks" in English.

고맙습니다.
Komapsumnida.

Or perhaps the other one most people know.

감사합니다
Kamsahamnida.

Anyway, met JS and Joni, along with 3 other of their FYP labmates.

Tobias, Alyssa and Jolyn.

Seriously, I know all of their names.

And I sometimes communicate to Alyssa, but not that much.

Because she says Joni everytime talks about me.

I got that much to talk about meh?

Hah.

Man, I seriously think, I gotta get to know them better before finishing Poly.

Seems hard, with only 7 days left.

I'll try return to school more often then.


Eileen ah...

Stop saying you're fat, when you're not.

Don't know whether you're reading this.

Your arm might have flabs, but your wrist is half of my arm itself.

And that, definitely is how skinny a girl should be.

Enough of fats.

What matters most is being healthy and happy right?

Why stress yourself with matters that are not so important?


Pimple Outbreak on my face.

My god, I look like some freak now.

Damn the construction at the field in front of my block.

Apparently, it has caused the pimple outbreak on my face.

How, you might ask.

I live on the 9th floor.

When construction begins, dust from there is created.

As you should know, the winds around Singapore are getting stronger and more frequent.

So the dust rises to the higher levels, and the wind blows in the direction towards my block.

And my window is always left open.

Right now, I'm experimenting to close the window for a week and see what happens.

And by the way, my mum went in my room for 2 hours to play my psp.

She got 5 pimples the next day.


Sometimes, I feel I'm invisible to the world.

Transparent.

And its not a bad thing. Well.. not really.

I had my lonely meal again since around the past 7 years when I had it last.

Went to Food Culture at Century Square to eat something before taking my meds.

Alone, that is.

I look around me.

I see families.

Couples.

Friends.

I'm not emo-ing by the way.

Just that, I look at their faces and its pretty interesting to see in their faces and eyes.

Some of them smile.

Some of them laugh.

Some hug each other lovingly.

And to me, time just slows down when this happens.

And, the smile naturally just comes on my face for no reason.

Talking about smiles.

I finished setting up the wireless connection at the mac room at Tampines ITE.

And when the vendor taught the teacher to configure it.

She began configuring it for each of the PCs for the students.

Some of them were smiling.

Some were saying, "Eh, Ada internet sial!"


Blog hopping as usual when I'm bored.

Some guys never update one. Nothing to read.

Eileen never update. Must be due to FYP presentation coming up.

Zhiyang stopped updating for now. Must be due to report and work in office.

I guess most of us really has no time now.


ALAMAK!

I'm going to spend the coming Valentine's day alone again.

(!-_-)

Oh well.

Luckily, I've tasked myself with stuff to do in preparation for that day.

Learn more lyrics on love and ballad songs.

Like, Endless love.

Kekekekekeke!
