Gone were the days

Having worked in an investment company for the past couple of weeks now, I had finally found a reason to apply for a half-day leave today to get myself temporarily out of this routine job scope. At this, I am not trying to say that I dislike my current part-time job, but one thing for sure, sitting by the desk with eyes sticking to the monitor for almost the entire day is definitely not the type of work that I want to have.

Seriously, I loved to be assigned to hands-on work where I can have the opportunity to move my hands and legs. Ask me to archives the files, move the boxes, carry the files or any other random duties. I am more than willing to accept the job. At least for what I feel, time seems to pass faster that way. The fact that I see myself sitting right in front of the desktop apparently doing nothing, yet collecting my pay at the end of the month makes me feel very uneasy. I want to contribute in some ways that I can.

Of course, there are some things in this job that I find it interesting. Walking around the Central Business District to deposit cheques in the various bank is undeniably one thing that I looked forward to everyday. Having got the chance to admire the beautiful works of God is something that is considered to be very special for me. The skyscrappers, the scenery, Singapore River, businessmen, office ladies and the lunch-time crowd. All this settings will probably not exist around me in the future where I work as chemical engineers usually 'roam' in places like Jurong Island, Tuas, or maybe Pulau Bukom.

As for my 'hard-to-get' half-day leave today, I found myself dragging my way back to school for a photoshoot. Yes, rest assured, what you had read is not typed wrongly. A Photoshoot! Never had I in my life hold the thought of having to pose confidently in front of a camera as I seriously hated that. Posing in front of all the complicated equipment setup and the professional photoshoot crew, individually and followed by group photos were very very embarrassing indeed. But well, at least we got to keep our own photos and posters for free.

Following the photoshoot, I spent my afternoon strolling around the campus since it was probably my second last chance stepping into this school before my Graduation Day. Indeed, many beautiful memories flooded my mind as I walked along the usual walkway where we usually took. Generally, not much changes have been made to the environment. Other than the added youthful vibrancy, my feelings to the school is something that I thought have had changed as I am no longer the same old NP student that I used to be.

Walking along the familiar walkway, I can vaguely see the faint images of my classmates and myself walking slowly to the next lesson. Along the way, no matter how stupid any comments anyone gave, we always have our reasons to laugh and no matter how good an action the joker of the class made, we always have our reasons to jeer.

Gone were those days and personally, I sincerely treasured my poly days the most for I had experienced my happiest and saddest moment there.Therefore, before I end this entry, I want to express my gratitute to all my friends who had make that education period of mine a memorable part of my life. Regardless of where we will be in the future, I seriously hoped that our friendship can last.

Till we meet again and Happy Graduation!
