hey hey hey!!! i'm back! seems like i've disappeared from this blog for super long... paiseh ar all the work everyday seems to drain me from entertainment and relaxation. only consolation i could find was sleep, sleep and more sleep. haiii... finally got thru my last day of work. even though i was happy that i can finally end this (and look forward to taiwan :p) but i suddenly did feel sad that i gonna leave that place. and my colleague, eric was telling me not to feel sad. he sounded jokingly at first when he kept telling me that, but he said that yesterday in a pretty serious tone... and he looked pretty sad too cos there'd be no one to tok crapz with him anymore... and he has a lot of interesting stories to tell... cos he was a singer back in the Philippines!!! (he's Filipino) cool ritez?!!! apparently he had a lot of singing experience lorrrr...performing here and there and even at Singapore Arts Fest! and he says he likes the pharmacy job cos he can sing and work. lol. and his couz juz won the "filipino idol" similar to American Idol except that u gotta excel in singing, acting and dancing. wah all the genes juz run in their family and oh yar, his mum was an actress during her young days and she supposedly got all the villian roles cos she looked fierce. hahaa. always thought a pharmacy job is gonna be very boring and the pple shouldn't differ too much from those i met when i was a citibanker... and not too far from wat i thought. some of the pple are boring and i think they find me boring too cos i kinda "refused" to talk, juz smile here and there.... hahaa. eric is 1 of the most interesting ones and he says he doesn't wanna marry cos he doesn't like the idea of sharing a room with someone else. feel like boxing him at times. then there's marilyn this sweet sweet gal from nus. we clicked immediately and always walk to the mrt stn together from work everyday. apparently both of us were trying to compete to see who would achieve a full wk of work first (means 40hrs of work for 5days' work and 44hrs of work for 5.5days' work includ. sat) cos both of us seem to have to take at least a day's leave of work every wk. hehee. and i won!!! juz summed up my timesheet yesterday and i have 2 full wks!!! =p (both 40hrs though) and marilyn had 1 full wk.... crapzzzz considering the fact that she worked for 7wks and i worked for 6wks..... and the assistant manager Charles is a super funny guy though he is a certified pharmacist and i seriously think he's very smart cos only into my 2nd day at work, he comes after me with all the laboratory terms and principles, expecting me to tell him all about PCR (that's polymerase chain reaction, not that life-saving thingy which my colleagues thought) and gel electrophoresis. he always has super funny things to say abt the patients and he's pretty nice, but surprise surprise he's not married! in fact most of the pharmacists aren't married (and there are only 5 there), wonder wats the world coming to cos they are quite a nice bunch of pple. i like elizabeth the best!!!! she's mature yet humorous but she always seems to have a lot of things on her mind. and she's super cool with all her dressing, she's my aspiration man, except that i'm shorter than her by like 6cm??? luv her way of handling both patients and colleagues, always on the calm side and she's the only person who dares to wear jeans and skirts of jean material towork.... (jeans aren't exactly allowed. lol) they having this seminar today and they ask me to go and listen to the doc presenting.... but i'm juz too lazzzzzyyy. rather laze ard at home and finish typing my itinerary which i was supposed to finish last night. =p hehe. anyway, juz to let u all know the "kind of" pple i've been hanging out with for the past 6 wks. though i thought my job was pretty boring cos i'm juz too busy to learn more (really wanted to but my colleagues were too busy to teach me too.... and eric even forgot which vitamin was folic acid and he's a certified pharmacist back in the philippines...... lol and i keep bugging him to go find out. he told me the ans the other day... but i think i forgot....... hahaha. def kills me if he finds out i've forgotten his ans cos he been trying to recall which vitamin it was for the past dun know how many days) it's a good idea sometimes to get to know the real working world. and i can't imagine if i have to get thru a life like theirs having a fixed perm job and not having much entertainment or interests.... a career... a lifelong job.... how we are always taught to find a job we really like.... but are we really given a choice in this case? in fact most of the pple i know thru work don't have a choice.... cos they are forced to under different circumstances and they are destined to this routine life... i hope i'm one of those lucky ones.... getting to choose and get a job i like.... so never regret on embarking on your own interest cos ultimately u'll benefit infinitely from it and that's your lifelong happiness. cheerzzzz.. :)
