De one with Rebecca's Present

Selamat Hari Raya

The weather seemed to change. I bet the temperature in Singapore must have dropped by a few degree Celsius. Lol. Too used to the heat but hey, guess the cold wouldn't hurt. Anyway, Christmas' coming, so must be be the North winds. Wonder if Santa's gonna be blown here too. Oh please Santa, grant me one wish.

D messaged me in the afternoon he saw Nat Ho whilst in Vivo. He was exclaiming how short Nat Ho turned out to be. I said " why are you sharing this with me?". Guess what he replied? He was excited to see celebrity. I swear three huge bits of perspiration rolls down my temple. Haha. Really ma, what's so special if you bump into a mediacorp artiste? I used to recall my late-band instructor, Mr Hashim, used to comment: "TV stars are also human. Not like they have additional eyes or noses." Although he meant to reminding us to refrain ourselves when we meet celebrities at Chingay or NDP rehearsals, I couldn't agree more with him back then.

I mean, I don't understand why people become "not themselves", exclaimed near funatic when they meet or brush pass celebrity? So.. unglamourous. Haha. Anyway, people have their own reactions la.. no right or wrong.. people's behaviour are like live-screenplay.. to me, people like this entertain my life.. Opps.. Hehe.

After venturing out these passed two and half days and night, I actually planned to be a good boy who stays at home until my colleague YW messaged me to ask if I'd like to join them to shop for Rebecca's present. I hesitated but heck, I replied "sure.. why not".

I took a cab..again. Amen. *Church bell strike* Ok..no excuses. I was late, I took a cab, as usual. No choice. Anyway, the meeting destination changed to Suntec and was reverted by to Raffles CSC. We proceeded to PS (third time this week) shortly. There, 30 mintues or so before the clinche of 4 decided to get our hands on a arm's length tall Hello Kitty from this Hello Kittish shop plus a hand massager from Osim, Best Denki. Both costs around $170+. Reasonable bargain. Hmm.

I typed my appeal letter to my university. I "da bao" again. Tax this time. Sigh, it certainly cast doubts as to whether I have what it takes to be an auditor. Questions whether I cut out to be one when I can't handle academic issues relating to tax and accounting. I discussed with Mohan. He gave pretty good advice: "If your work's your life, you better make sure this is the job you really want. Else, make your job a part of your life by making sure life has other things than your job."

Thing is I do love my job. However, as at now, I'm afraid if I don't work, I'd have nothing else to do. I get bored easily. Just do feel imcompetent when I do something.

Oh well, these long weekend was superb, except the part "with a friend". Next week.. Changi Airfreight Centre for audit!! Ready or not, here I come!
