The Post with the Black Cat

What up again people!





It's been a while since I wrote here. Although unemployment is treating me well, I realise it often causes the lack of content to put up on blogs. I guess other fellow blog writers will experience that kind of problem from time to time?

I wonder how people can think up of things to talk about ALL THE TIME. I don't mean random ranting posts, drab descriptions about the everyday goings in life. I prefer to write only when there are sensible, insightful, funny incidents that provide highlights in an otherwise ordinary life.




Today I shall bend a bit of my self imposed writing rule and talk about something less interesting - myself.

I left Starhub more than a week ago. I finished my last shift, which incidentally was a afternoon shift. It felt nice, familiar in a sense that I left the company the same way I went in, quiet and dignified.

I made a lot of friends inside, all of whom were decent, hardworking, funny and easy going. Somehow it's a little like National Service, because in our line of work, temporary staff come and go, and it's hard to keep track and catch up with everyone.

I shared the pain of working over all the public holidays during my five month tenure since December (Chinese New Year being the sole sad exception), endured late nights and long overtime hours, blasted and lamented at every appointment and outing we had to cancel with our friends, and celebrated together at the sight of our deservedly bigger paychecks.

Here's a huge shout out here to the members of the Starhub family, Derek my team leader whom I owe a lot to. Vivian, Joanna, Weisiong, Xinhui, Szemin, Mag, Teckhua, Gracelyn, Jun An, Amanda, Daryl, Meihui, Shiqi and all other permanent staff. I doubt any of you still read this blog, but I really do appreciate our moments together in my first official job! ^.^




I've decided not to seek employment again for the remaining months till I enroll into university. It's a huge period of three whole months, which to some might seem a little wasteful of time and money.

Somehow it doesn't seem that way to me. I feel a greater sense of purpose, more events and outings to look forward to spend my time in. There's jamming with my friends, preparing for university life, studying again, MOE commitments, exercising, and of course a much anticipated trip to Australia.

Even for the first week of "holidays' that I had, I managed to catch up with a few friends whom I've barely met since my employment, get going with some sports, spend more time with the folks back home. And it feels really good!




So here's just a quick narcissistic update on the owner of this blog post. Hopefully I'll come up with more exciting the next time round, and till then take care everyone!
