I woke up this morning feeling rather weird. This is my second last day in EDB. This time it's for real. No more contract extensions, no more discussions with my boss. I'm also stuck with facing a very distinct possibility that I will be enlisting on the 10 Dec. that leaves me with barely a week and a half of freedom. Things don't look so bright now ain't it? Da jie, Nicole, and Amelia are also leaving tomorrow. Dunno what will become of our group after this. Another chapter of my life is over, this time a much shorter one than before, but nonetheless just as fun, just as fruitful, and no less memories to cherish.
Speaking of Amelia, I really don't want to talk about her for now--because nothing that i say about her will be good. Let's just say she has reached a new low in her level of irresponsibility. If there was a award in "siaming" work and finding excuses to be absent, she would win it hands down. I could take someone telling me they are just plain lazy and don't want to help. At least that way they'd be honest. But no, she has to do things this way. It's little wonder everyone in our group is rather ticked off at her. Always sitting there chatting on the phone with her friends and doing nothing, yet unwilling to help us with our work when everyone else is swamped. anyways, enough about this.
On a happier note, I went for my "month-iversary date" at Sentosa with my dear yesterday. Can't believe it's already been a month since we got together. Seemed a lot shorter than that. Anyways, the weather wasn't very pleasant. In fact, it rained. No matter, sometimes rain could be even more romantic under such circumstances. We were lucky enough to get the whole cable car to ourselves on both legs of the journey, and we spent a long period of time sitting under a shelter alone staring into the pouring rain. That has got to be one of the most peaceful moments I have experienced in a long time. A thousand thoughts flashed across my mind, things that I wish to tell her, yet once again I was at a loss for words to say anything. Nonetheless we both enjoyed spending that bit of alone time since we don't really get to spend time together during the rest of the week. On the way back we had BK for dinner and got each other little gifts to remind each of us of the other. Quite simply a beautiful date on a beautiful day.
