Day 41 of OBO... Friends

Today was a pretty ordinary day... Nothing much to do... Quite lazy too... But now I've got the recruitment essay to think about... Sigh... Two jobs, both with equally good prospects... Don't know which to choose sia...

Anyway, I woke up this morning at about 0900hrs, as usual... Went to wash up and then went to wait for Colin... Talked to my dad about the researcher job... He said it's a good opportunity... 'Cause next time, can go into bigger organisations... Then can go on to government intelligence units too... Then he says that if I'm good, I could be posted overseas and maybe can even join UN later on... Bright prospects if I excel... But thinking again, if I did sales, the start would be difficult... But once I'm experienced, it'll be a breeze... And the money's good in the long run... And if the company expands, I'll be one of the pioneers... Anyway, I don't have to make that choice now... Will just continue to contemplate about it till the time comes to make a decision...

Anyway, Colin came around 1050hrs... He dropped me off at the office first and then went off for a meeting... Reached office at around 1105hrs... Went to clear out the mail and then cleaned up a bit of the accounts. After that, I got started on the catalogue again... Managed to finish it... But now must see where to improve and how to lay it out nicely... Did that for the whole day... Of course, in between I was surfing the Internet...

I went for lunch at around 1445hrs... Went to get a 大包 and a Milo... Didn't feel like eating much 'cause I was going to have dinner with the girls... So anyway, I brought it back to the office and ate and did work at the same time... I finished everything I had to do at about 1700hrs... So I carried on surfing the Internet doing research for my essay and also looking at property prices... Resale 4-room flats are going for between $350,000 - $450,000 on average... And these prices, apparently, are going to drop a bit more and stabilise by the end of this year or early next year... So the market looks good, although last year's was even better... For the condominiums, it's going somewhere between $800,000 - $3.5 or 4 million... But that also depends on the location... Oh well...

Anyway, I left the office at 1800hrs to go and meet the girls - Shu Xian, Marie and Grace - at Orchard MRT Station... Went to the McCafe for dinner... I had a sandwich and an Iced chocolate... The sandwich was not bad... Better than Delifrance actually... So we sat there and talked about everything... From jobs to our future to people who cheat on their spouses to celebrities who just cannot get a grip of themselves etc... Basically everything under the sun... Well, at the end of the day, we came to a common conclusion... This MTV world today does not know how to cherish things and that the sanctity of marriage has been totally forgotten... Very sad but true... But thankfully, there are those who are still true to these values...

We hung out till about 2130hrs before we made our way home... Took the train to Yio Chu Kang station and upon reaching, I had to run across the covered walkway from the station to the Ang Mo Kio Police Headquarters bus stop to catch 70... Well I managed to catch it... Considering that it's been ages since I last ran, let alone sprint... Reached home at about 2210hrs... Went to wash up and came online to clear out my emails and blog... The usual routine... Also helped 妹妹 out with her school work... They're learning philosophy in school now!!! Super amazing... And I'm learning new things everyday now... But at least it's comforting to see names which I came across during my sociological studies... So at least I can help her better... She's doing a lot better now... And her English is improving... Not as many grammatical errors as last time... So that's good... Wish you were here to see all these... Oh well... Anyway, I need to sleep now... If not tomorrow cannot get up... So, I love you darling... And I miss you lots... I'm waiting for your call... So I'm hoping that the network is functioning well... So good night... Sweet dreams...
