AWOL - Absent WITH Official Legitimate-reasons!!!!

Its been months since my last entry. I dont know why but i've lost the urge to write. No time? Perhaps. There's just so much happening and nothing happening all at once.

Work at Shell has been exhausting, considering the fact that i have to wake up at 530am, perpetually be on my feet for 8 hours straight, and serve assholes who deserve to be slapped. Well yea there are the nice ones as well. But like all goodness they are limited. Im gonna miss working (studying) there. Nice music, nice colleagues(well there is this one guy, but...), nice view and decent(not good) pay(little $ is still $). It gave me a purpose to start my day early. I actually read the papers for a good 3 months daily... front to back! Something i never used to do.

At one point of time i was working at 2 places, after Shell i went to XL for data entry. Spent so much on sweets then. Its always nice to work there. Very nice working environment. BUT i aint involved in the politics in the workplace.

School started. First assignments are in and marks out (97% and 100%!!!!). Can't ask for more now can i. Its good motivation to work hard.hopefully i can maintain this to fullfill my dream of geekifying myself!!!(right...) But yea, exams are in like less than 2 months away. Applied for Nus and NTU as well see how that goes. Frankly i have no/little hope of getting in. I'm quite happy with what i'm doing. !st class in sights still. But if i do get in, I wouldn't mind. But i still wanna do the course in SIM.

Been going to SJI for trainings. Tryin to get my fitness back to pass IPPT. *sigh*

And I got a new LAPTOP!!!!! wassup with that yea!! woo hooo!!! Thanks to my sister who half-heartedly payed for it(first)! Its an ACER Aspire5672WLMi. Check it...

Well til next time.

I have no inspiration to think of quotes so, entry no 31 no quote!

Cheers ya'll!

Friends

Sometimes i wonder,
Are friends really friends?
How do u know if friends are really friends?
How do we know they're not?
Sometimes i wonder.

Is it the constant meetings?
Is it the countless hours over the phones?
Is it the crazy stuff done together?
Is it just being there when needed?
Is it just a title?
Is it mutual?
Is it just the occasional 'hi' and 'bye'?

Do we only know a friend in times of distress?
Do friends expect a certain behaviour of you?
Are we expected to have an expectation on them?
Do friends interests have to match ours?
If friends don't meet after a long while do they become less of a friend?

I thought of this a long time back, when i saw a close friend of mine whom i had not seen or spoken to for a long time. to my greeting i recieved a hostile reply... and i was quite disappointed...

But then i reflected on it, as much as you treat one as your friend, the friend should treat you as one too. However as much as it is fair to be reciprocrated of a friendship, i also believe that we should do to others what we want others to do unto us.

Having said all of that. I love my friends for all they are. the nice ones, and the not so nice ones. I just love them.
