let's have a look at my last kills for 2008.
took a walk around town the other day because of all the year end sales going around hoping to get some steals. got this tee from zara. saw it a while ago but wanted to wait till it got on sale which it did. yay!
then i went to fox and saw that the tees were going at 30% off. managed to pick out 2 tees with rather simple designs, but the cutting is pretty comfy. then before i went to pay, the salesperson i could get an additional 15% off if i paid using a dbs credit/debit card. woohoo~
went for countdown yesterday with ed at zouk. we tried to get company but the girls wanted to have their own little gathering at shuyi's house and we were pretty set on going because it happens to be mambo nite.but never mind, in the end we saw quite a few of our friends there. the dancing started around 11plus with mostly random songs with a few mambo hits here and there. surprisingly the crowd isn't THAT bad as expected. we counted down and the dancing continued. it got to a point where the music totally didn't match our taste so we went over to phuture for a while. when we got to phuture the music is pretty ok but the crowd was horrible. it was mostly young bengs and lians there. we got ourselves some drinks and went back to zouk. we chilled out at for a while until the mambo hits starting playing at around 3.30am? that's when the real deal got going. the mambo regulars who were looking damn bored on the podium suddenly burst into life and the "synchronized dancing" started. we were moving our bodies and doing hand signs all the way till 6.15am when the lights came on. it was fun but really tiring. i came home, took a shower and concussed until 3pm.
after last night i have come to make 3 conclusions:
1) drinking sucks. and it is possible to have fun in the club without drinking alcohol (especially if it's mambo) but do try to stay hydrated
2) 80% of the girls that club are either too chui (cannot make it) or too old. the other 20% come with their boyfriends. so, never go to a club and hope to find a decent(-looking) girl.
3) beware of drunk OLs who might try to take advantage of you (don't ask.)
ok after all the fun and excitement, it's time to get to some serious stuff.
honestly, 2008 wasn't that bad of a year. for most of the year i was in the army. went to taiwan for an overseas exercise. got introduced to a new church. came out of army. went on holiday. got a job. made some pretty great friends along the way.
well, there were emo and sucky times too. like how my current predicament has made me think a lot recently. the company decided to fix headcount because of the financial situation so they are letting all the temps go. yup that means as of now, i'm jobless (again). i got pretty distressed when i heard this. no more income? is this the end for me and my newly befriended colleagues? i have to stay at home looking for a job and just stone again? and now i have to compete for jobs with those who ORD-ed in december? i'm back at square one? the feeling of sliding back was terrible. after days of mulling around, a flash of insight hit me. i'm not exactly back at square one. the one month plus of working wasn't for nothing. there were things i've gained without knowing. i've made some money. i've gained some job experience. i've got to know some gym buddies. and i've probably gained many other things i don't know yet.
oh well, so i guess i'm back to looking for a decent paying job. i've contacted job agencies and just gotta wait and hope they will contact me soon as i continue to plow through the classified ads. actually i think it won't be that bad since the all the students have to get back to school so any positions they were holding would be open.
i have high expectations for what is to come this year. hopefully i'll find a temp job that i'll like so i can earn some money before uni and to keep me occupied lest i might just go crazy staying at home. hopefully i'll manage to meet someone this year when the time is right. hopefully i'll enjoy myself at the university when it starts in august. and i'm looking foward to meet more people as i go through the various phases in my life.
well, that's all the time i have for now. until next time then. bye bye~
