reunion wk

the past week has been a reunion of sorts for me.

every now and then i keep running into people from my past.

it all started off with that day i went to work early, i ran into ashraf, or rather 'bob', on the way to work in the train. then the ex-army colleagues on the way while walking to work. then even during lunchtime and afterwork, even more army colleagues. and even zai, the secondary school friend.

friday was no different. after work i ran into nick! then on the way to orchard mrt met more ex-army colleagues. then at the mrt station i ran into liz, and basically my plans for the night completely changed after that. instead of being the good boy and go home straight after work me,liz n hadi had dinner and then coffee.

saturday night too, was spent with them. and fazlin too. at boat quay, eating ice cream! and jus now, was dinner with the jc friends at causeway point.

alot of reunions, alot of catching up to do!

oh why i ran into so many of my ex-army colleagues was because just outside of my workplace, there's this NS fair which was celebrating the 40 years of NS. so alot of them were involved in the on-the-ground work.

and the word is i'm gonna be transferred to another department at my workplace. as much as i still loathe the sight of pots, pans and porcelain, i feel happy there. i like working there actually, in fact. i feel i get along fine with the staff. the pay is pathetic, i know, but hey, some people earns alot at their work but their lives can still be as miserable as ever. at least i know even if i'm not happy, i can say i'm contented at the least.

but i'm rather disappointed to be hearing that i'm gonna be transferred. the way i see it, i don't have colleagues that are as crazy as the ones i have now. and i really don't wan to make friends all over again, and make colleagues, when i'm just gonna be there for like just over a month more? to me it's not worth it at all. not worth it.

but kent's tendered his resignation, so i hope the HR department would seriously rethink their decision! the reason i'm being transferred out is because they're gonna have a new permanent staff coming in. i'm like so what? if kent's gone and they transfer me out, the department would be slightly handicapped you know. i hope i don't get transferred out. and such news really travels fast. even some of the promoters have got wind of it. and some think i requested for it! tsk tsk.

kent's resignation has given me hope i feel. haha. seriously, i'm quitting in the end of may, earliest. i don't see why they should transfer me out. it all depends.

so many uncertainties now, even about the kl trip. tsk tsk.

i need to get things going!
