been working for a week le.. still gonna conclude schooling is still the best (: raffles place is so much nicer compared to the godforsaken place i worked at last year, at least there's good food n a nice river to sit by. n the food's not exactly very expensive, $2 for normal chicken rice, $2.50 for additional meat. *shmacks* colleagues are quite nice and friendly, very considerate also - working quietly, but there's always the occasional gossip and small talks. there's the internet cafe, it's a cool concept haha i guess it's to make up for denying me of internet access :| yes! no internet!! heh but k la, managed to pass time without that too.. n i don't have to answer phone calls and faxes and emails and hear from annoying customers and supervisors etc. haha own time own target, and all these for quite a satisfactory pay ;) ya but i keep falling asleep during work, and when world cup comes...?! haha i guess i'll watch the 9 and 12 matches, leave the 3am de to weekends bah..
yes, tonight is the night! 4 more hours to kick off as i blog this.. this is the period of time when the world seem to stop, colleagues taking long leave to chase ball (or boys, depending on your gender orientation), people coming to work/school (after the holidays) with panda eyes, when wives suddenly feel unloved (thankfully both of us like to watch haha), when people start having beer bellies and growing fat from the midnight snacking, when terrorists don't have time to go around bombing people (pray they don't attach any match), when half the daily Newpaper reports on the previous day's matches, when people get mental and scream at the tv with those words that are used once every 4 years like 'kelong' 'like that also cannot score!' 'red card la' 'oei offside lehs, ref blind or wad?' 'there goes my betting money!', the build up to the final and suddenly left with nothing but memories after the last match, the world cup withdrawal syndromes, and the feeling of back to reality and the idea of having to wait another 4 years set in. totally sucks.. haha but that's for us to worry about 1 month later. for now, just catch the fever!! (: world cup rocks my world! (by the way, i support italy, not england!)
