so many things have happened, i don't know where to start. okay. so. ms ho rejected my resignation. which i cannot understand at all. if someone under me wanted to quit, i'd say, sure, you know where the door is, use it. i've been working so i haven't had time to go down myself and clarify matters. i'll do it next week if i'm not working. and here's something weird. i'm not sure if my contract got extended or not, because as i was leaving the office yesterday, the person in charge of me told me to continue on monday. i stared at her and said, my contract finishes today. to which she replied, oh then report back on monday at 10. hooray an extra hour of sleep heh heh. so i'm not sure if i'm hired for the day or week. hmmmm. i didn't clarify, just nodded and got out. we'll see. i love lunchtime. i'm very careful to take my lunch hour when everyone else is either still working or out for lunch. then i heat up my noodles and sit in the pantry alone, facing the wonderful view of the bay. i'm so poor i drink inordinate amounts of milo all day to avoid having to buy snacks. my mother just found out how poor i am when i told my sister i couldn't pay for her ipod cos i don't even have $400 plus in my account. needless to say, she flipped. i'd love to stay at home and sleep or play the piano or read or wander by the river all day, but a girl needs to eat. it's all very well to enjoy yourself, but try doing that starving. it's not quite so fun. i'm not lonely at work. the other 2 temps were nice to me. only 1 is returning next week i think. they only need 2. but if i were to work permanently.. i think i'd like to develop a strong working relationship with my colleagues. you can't get lost in your own world 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. but you know what they say about the working world; it's shrewd and cruel, don't trust anyone. guess what. it's true.
incidentally, there's a cute security guard where i work. i think he's malay? non chinese anyway. looks 20 or 21, max. i noticed him because he smiled at me when i exchanged my ic for a pass on the second day of work. so now every time he sees me he smiles and i smile back. the security guards are all very friendly, they smile whenever they see me. i'm nice too, i told them to have a great weekend as i rushed off after work. they probably think i'm amusing because i take off my slipeprs, put them in my bag, and slip on my high heels as they sign my pass, before rushing up into the office. i haven't seen anyone do that yet. hmm. yes so that's my interesting work week. i'm bound by contract to shut up about the rest. hur.
i am poor. my mother wants me to work out my holiday schedule. i guess i'll go to town and get my sister's ipod tmr when i'm in the area. shall go for the class dinner since my mother agreed to give me $20 for dinner. i wonder if she's afraid i'm too anti-social. my sister wants to buy me an ipod nano when she starts work in jan. -sniffs- so sweet. it's like $300 smth?? that's a week plus worth of yelling at insufferable fools, after cpf deduction. i told her it's too ex but she really wants to give it. she'll probably change her mind after the first week of work, tchs guys are truly intolerable. and i can't afford to give her anything fantastic for christmas. =( my pay has to go towards my perth trip. maybe i'll think of something wonderful. soon. my mum and sis are leaving on the 2nd of dec. they return when i'm gone. so i don't see them for 3 weeks. wow. no sister to talk to for 3 weeks. =( oh well. i'm determined to have a fantastic time in perth. nothing is gonna affect me, not the weather, not the flies, not living like church mice.
it must've been love.
