how do i love my life? let me count the ways. //this is the best part.
i have a good friend that i wun even call a friend. it makes the accusations of me not knowing wat friendships are seem so meaningless - almost a meek attempt. i take back the first sentence. i have 2 good friends that i wun even call friends. hahas... and i wonder how these ppl are able to stay in my life when they dun preach abt knowing me well and understanding my ways of workings and stuff. after taking stock, i am in the most pleased that i actually have 2, of such friends. and even better is they get along so well tho they were from separate side of my world. hahahs (only a few years of ivanism, and endless saffc days. thats basically how we grew up together.) one is a friend who will keep mums about my evil plans, the other goes one step further - he helps me in my evil plans. hahahas... i know they'll grow up to be my beer-and-football groupies.
i have the most envious jobs of all. (so good that sometimes i myself feel guilty telling others abt how good it REALLY is) i wun try to make my job seem more shag and taxing than it really is, because i figured i really do not have a responsibility to make "chiong-sua" counterparts in the army feel better that i'm suffering with them. (mwahahaha!!) so, here is how i draw my pay every month: i work from mondays to fridays, 8am till (around) 530pm, but that timing is almost never adhered to? i'd leave my post anytime from around 2.30pm to say 6.30pm on normal days. usually it depends, but since i'm having a rather free-role, i get to schedule my own work. kekez...
occasionally, there'd be BIG events and i'd stay till say 10pm, but i'll take (claimable) cab home and have no problem reaching home before 10.15pm since my house is around 4.2km from my place of work. and when i have such an event i get to clock a day of OFF. usually such OFFs have to cleared within the week or within the fortnight. but since i'm an OFFicer, this rule doesnt apply to me and i can choose to not go to work using these OFFs any day i feel like it. but i love my work so much that i havent really been taking these OFFs yet (the LOOOONG weekends are really enough to rest a happy soul.) and since i'm single and available, i have more than enough time to spend on whoever i love most at the moment. THIS, is something i love more than anything else. kekez! but i digress. for a short 2 months at this job, i already have like 4 days of OFF in my "OFF-bank" already. apart from that, i have 14 days of leave that i'm FORCED to take before Santa comes - notwithstanding the workload. (dun u jus love it when they force the benefits and welfare onto you?!) and then of cos, i am drawing a good allowance. but thats besides the point, since money doesnt exactly make one's life "fulfilling".
enough of the benefits, wat DO i do at work exactly? i talk to reservist ppl, (like they're my clients); i write reports and release ppl from detention barracks (like a police and angel joined into one); i write articles, facilitate functions and act as liaison officers (like an all-in-one concert coordinator). now, tell me that my job itself isnt fun. kekez..
now let's talk abit about the future. i have a place in NUS, taking the same course as my... evil friend, may be staying in the same room as him if we can get one, and am so prepared to start studying all over again. before all this happens roughly a year from now, i have one whole year of LIFE to live. as in REAL life. this is the plan, to live thru this year like i've been doing for the past 2 months, and go on long holidays possibly in the year-end and then again next june/july before uni begins? i'll watch movies on weekdays and read good books on weekends. i'll catch more VCD drama serials so long as i havent gotten bored of them. i'll listen to jay chou and stef sun like i used to, on my ever-reliable discman when i shop alone in town. i'll catch every single liverpool match this season, because koo so fatedly happens to be a pool fan as well. (holidays might well be an Anfield trip). every month or so, i'll meet up with my female bestie (yesH koo, she's affirmed that we are! kekez! so shuddup! hahaha!!) and we'll "have fun like friends do". i'll pick up a hobby or two, get my dog home so that i can love her so much all over again! every once in a while i'll laugh so heartily with jaime, and drink wine with rebecca's sister. i wun look back, there's jus so much there for us to touch! its like so many layers and layers waiting for us to break free and breathe! and before we reach the top we're almost suffocating with impatience. and at the end of it, i wanna lose sight of the start. at the end of it, all those around me will be those who did the mad rush with me, those who dared, those who adopted my reckless abandon, those who understood the gravity of change. at the end of it, i wanna be holding YOU. yesH YoU!
ok back to reality now.
