For a Seamless Journey

Monday is off to a good start.

I told myself Good Friday is this Friday and therefore it's just a short work week! No classes and therefore more time for the dog, myself and assignments. Due this week are 3 heavy weights. The 3 days of work have been a transition and therefore last week was indeed a grumpy affair right through the weekend. Today, however, was somewhat different. I am getting into the relax mood, enjoying my honeymoon as a new staff. Time was spent wisely. The morning saw me heading to HQ for the induction programme; made new friends. Headed back to office with one of them because we were going to be located at the same office, just a different department. Nice getting to know people. I am, after all, a 'waggy tail'. hee hee hee.

I lunched with my colleagues. I don't take to 'children topics' very well. So there's really nothing much to say....had Yong Tau Fu and couldn't wait to leave. My dad surprised me by dropping me a message that he was round the corner for lunch with mum! So it gave me good excuse to escape from the generation gap..hahaha...ok don't tell me I am running away from one to another...

Here's the thing...the table my parents were sitting at was so cramp. It was extremely difficult for anyone to walk pass other than to knock you or push your chair away. Behind me was a Chinese man who could've pushing his chair in a little more. One of the aunties from the carrot cake stall shoved past me and my mum told me it was super deliberate. She also told me to 'take revenge' by doing the same when she walked past later. I had 2minutes to make my choice. I don't know what made me do what I did but just as she walked towards that narrow space between myself and the guy sitting behind, I stood up, moved my chair away and smiled at the lady who thanked me and smiled and we did a 'hi-five'. YEAH!! TOTALLY COOL!!! It was an indeed a funny sight. Again, don't ask me why I did that. I was just glad I did because shortly after I shifted my chair parallel to my dad's, as the table behind us (where the Chinese man originally sat) was being cleared, the lady clearing the empty dishes attempted to carry too many at one time and dropped them onto the Chinese guy and just right onto the space where my mum told me to block the Aunty earlier!!!!!! Ok, the description of this scenario might sound absolutely bimbotic but I just have to narrate it this way. Call it candid if you wish.

Finished the coffee, headed back to office and the rest of the day passed quickly. Let's hope tomorrow is another happy one. Meeting dear to discuss our assignments. ONE DOWN!! 2 more to go this week! WOOHOOOOooooo...WORK IT WORK IT WORK IT!!!
