Went to Funan to collect my free i-book. Reach there at 12pm, my god, there's a damn long queue. Dun know how long must i wait? But still waited patiently for it, no choice wat. Stood there for 2 over hours before this guy who was just standing behind me suggest that we take turns to go toilet etc and the other to "look after" the queue. I said ok and told him to go if he wants to. He asked whether I wan anything to eat or drink. I said i just need a drink cos i didn't bring my water bottle, never expect to wait so long mah. I thought the most is 2 hrs. He came back with a bottle of peach flavoured green tea, i wanted to pay him, but he says it's ok. Anyway, his name is Tuck Meng. We then start to chat and found out that he's actually a IT specialist. He bought quite alot of tidbits and started offering to some of us who are in the queue as if he's here for picnic like that. Luckily, we still chat as we waited, at least not so boring. Before that, I was listening to my music and he was listening to his. Finally, we waited for 4 hrs before we got our I-Book, wow, long wait, right? He knew that I'm collecting 2 sets, and he says that maybe the ppl there won't allow me to collect 2 sets cos there r still many ppl behind. I said, "dun scare me leh, dun care, i must collect 2 sets after the long wait. Anyway, some ppl in front of us also collect 2 sets, so why can't I?" Then when it was very near our turn, he started to say maybe no more wireless mouse, but rather they will give wired mouse. Shit! He always say these kind of stuffs. But luckily, none of his words came true, we collected everything as it was promised. Before leaving, we exchanged phone nos. I carry that 2 sets of I-Book and walked out of the place. I felt that many eyes r staring at me esp from those who r behind. Took a cab home. So my sat is gone. Yesterday, I met Shirley at Dhoby Ghaut station, we took the NEL home together. She update me with lots of stuffs including Vivian who went for an operation. So i called Vivian this morning to check how is she doing? She is fine now and she told me about her operation. So scary! She then asked me where am I working now, and i told her. She said that I shouldn't have resigned in the first place cos now Eliza has job post for another position and Shirley was being pushed up to take over the Band 30 position. If I'm still there, they will push me up to Band 25 . I then told Vivian that I'm always losing out to the time factor even those times when i was still there. Even this time, I still lose out to time. Maybe it's just my luck, I believe that in order to get everything goes smoothly, alot of factors contribute to it, including TIME. I then told Vivian my greatest obstacle: My FACE. Ppl will sure talk behind me if I should go back. Vivian then told me that ppl will not talk for long, it's only that interim period. Moreover, she says that I'm not stealing or robbing, I'm just earning a honest living. She says she can ask Susan to see if there's any vacancy and she'll get back to me. Actually, I would consider to go back if they have a Band 25 position, if it's a band 20, then forget it. But again, depending on whether they want me back or not? Luckily, i didn't left with a bad name, at least not in my own point of view, but dun know how others see? Hm.. I also hope that should there be 2 vacancies, i will recommend Jac there. Yeah! By the time, we can work together again. Am i thinking too much? Now still too early to tell. Sigh! Hope there's good news for me.

i hope its gd news too! look on de bright side gal! *smiles* =)
