Year 2005
January 2005
I was into my 2nd month working at Coccinelle. Was based mainly in Takashimaya SC where things are much more messier than a boutique-store despite the fact that there are less stock and theres no direct dealing with cash/credit card transactions.
I remember frequent lunches with ex tpjcian and ex shss friends. It was a relatively good month despite the fact that i was not sure when i was supposed to be enlisted because apparently MCC forgot about my case. How efficient!
I wanted to do some kind of business. I remember trying to plan. Well, it did materialize later on in march.
I enrolled for driving lessons at CDC on 24/1/2005. And i opened my UOB TX account too.
February 2005
I stopped working at Coccinelle. Landed with another job with Singtel, but working for Workforce Development Agency. I spent 3 weeks interviewing the lower income groups over the phone with regards to their financial status. This is actually part of a survey to gauge the effectiveness of their programme/campaign. So obviously, it is successful to only a certain extent.
After 3 continuous weeks of working in the heart of the CBD(at pickering street), i went back to coccinelle to help out for abt 6 days because they had problem with their staffing.
I celebrated my 19th Bday. remembered that i went to nydc(to have apple crumble ONLY) with ade, hw and qb to celebrate my bday. Andrew did'nt turn up as usual. And i was supposed to meet up with kok, pwee, farah, mel etc because they were hanging ard town and i told them i was in town and they actually bought some big cake for me and i didnt turn up coz it was meant to be a surprise so they didnt tell me abt the cake. look how badly structured my sentences are. This is what army has done to me. Seriously. Oh well. Excuses.
March 2005
Was an interesting month because i actually decided not to work for this month, thinking that i can survive on my past salaries, which is indeed a bad idea. Well just wanted the idea of not having to work, knowing that i will be enlisted in april. So i was supposed to enjoy life.
I concentrated lots on driving in March. Went for at least 3 lessons a week. I know i went for alot of movies especially after my driving lessons.
And oh. the release of A level results. Was definitely dissapointing, but i made it into u anyway so heck-it. Just quite pitiful that input not equal to output. Something was wrong somewhere. I am aware of some of my mistakes and yeap, just learn from it. Apply what i've learnt in life next time. Theres no such thing as excelling every time.
But i know i was quite sad. I didnt expect it to be thattt bad. But i recovered fast. Remember meeting hewwing andrew and ade after that. Ade got the same grades as me. :)
I spent a sunday morning at wild wild wet with qb, after some ppl pangseh us. AND i went to BKK with him after some ppl played us out AGAIN. The trip was good. I love holidays.
April 2005.
Once i came back to Sg, i had an offer to continue helping out at Coccinelle. And so i did for about 8 days. I remember the durian outing at FURRERTON MERRION with jac guosh and ck. I was sick after eating all the durians! And the sparkling juice which had a weird kind of taste.
22April2005 was a date i look forward to albeit with a heavy heart. I was excited to begin my journey in another phase in life, yet sad knowing that i will lose my freedom for 2 years(and the many many years that i will serve as an NSmen).
Introduction to Tekong was quite an eye opening experience. It was harsh and rowdy but at the same time orderly and disciplined. I shall not talk much abt this. its boring. seriously.
