mood: Chrismassy, Retrospective
Once again, i have surprised myself, by being able to catch only a few hrs of slp and still be able to work tiredlessly throught out the day. after last nite's fun, i slept all but 4 hrs before i woke up and left for work. alrite, four hrs of slp would seem enuf for those out there who are used to it, but nt for me, who needs at least 8 hrs a day to be fully recharged, esp more so after i thon' half the nite away ytd.
Anyway, today being christmas day itself, i din really expect to be busy at all, since everyone's shopping is ald done~those bai lian jiao one would be busy celebrating and revelling in the joy of the festive season, while others either would nua at home or be working still~like me, for instance.
Thus, my colleagues and me really expected a thoroughly boring day, and were prepared to stone the day away. Well, well, who was to noe tt today turned out veri much out of expectations~why, i sold 3 pairs of shoes shortly after opening, and it was even before lunch time! Ppl came and went, and bot alot~we ended the day with a total taking of 6k odd, when we only expected 2.5k.
And another thing is, today was quite damn strange, as in, i actually met nt one, nt two, but six of my sch mates from cat high! and 3 of them were of the same class, altho nt my former one. first of all, early in the afternn, there was andrew tan, formerly of 4-6 in cat high, my class. next, an hr before closing, wee fong, my old ncc mate waltzed in, and i chatted with him for awhile..damn~time really flies, i still rmbr pretty vividly the last time i saw wee fong during our ncc gathering on 31 december 03. back then, we were talking cock, playing pool, cs on our last official gathering, before everyone in our batch more or less went our separate ways, and zhuan yan jian~a chinese saying literally meaning 'in the blink of an eye', here i was, on my last semester in poly, and wee fong ald graduated and getting ready for enlistment to ns.
the rest of the ppl i saw is hardly worth mentioning, since i hardly knew them back in cat high, and when they came in bout 15 mins after wee fong left, they din even recognise me, altho i did recognise them.
haiz, time really does fly, altho stimes i do wish tt it can stop, so tt we may all slow down and savour those moments that are worth savouring. but however fast or slow, the passing of time is still a matter beyond our control, nv was, nv will be. thus, quoting gandalf from lotr, i'll juz say this, "All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us." `such that we may spend it wisely or foolishly or in any manner by our own discretion.
Rite, I have rambled long enuf, so i shall juz end it here. Adios! And once again~
Merry Christmas to all!!
