Hehe been so long since my last post, bet no one checks this anymore!

Was lazy, then i found a job (or rather a job found me - more on that later) so i became busy instead. Now I barely have time in front of the computer, and i spend that clearing my email and playing solitaire. so, um, nothing much to update here anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway a job found me. I needed income, but I wasn't willing to go find a job, so I just told as many people as I could that I wanted a job, and waited to see what fell from the sky.

So one job fell from the sky and hit me squarely in the head. I get to work for a very kind friend's mother, sorting invoices from last year. Not a very exciting job, but I used to be a school librarian, so I'm actually quite happy to do it.

Sad thing is, not many people are as interested in sorting paper (and the occasional treasure-hunting) as I am, therefore the average life-span of a temp worker is 3 days. Plus point is that I get to meet quite a few people who are around my age, since a bunch of us just left the army, and the polytechnics are on holiday. Including a pretty gal who made today pass very quickly; one of the rare few people who can trade barbs with me happily without feeling *too* offended, haha. I enjoy a good argument once in a while, too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am taking driving lessons as well, just had my 4th lesson yesterday. Can drive on the roads now, although my instructor still sits on the edge of his seat, and had to "take over" once today, sigh. But I'm progressing fine and I'm confident that I'll be ready for my driving exam come September.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm also learning how to rollerblade! Still some slight problem with uneven terrain, but I know the basics and am starting to learn some nifty moves, hehe. Now I blade every sunday morning at East Coast with a bunch of friends. Really fun, and the suntan makes me look healthier too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Met a lot of people these past 2 weeks, all of them old friends with whom I used to be rather close. I realise just how much I've missed, by spending inordinate amounts of time in front of the computer every day. I'm so much happier around people, especially now that I've become less shy and more self-confident. The human touch, the feeling of sitting in a cafe and sipping an ice-blend and just talking about anything and everything, is something not even IRC or MSN Messeging can substitute.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And it's late now and I've got work tomorrow. So, till next time... 不是在此时,不知在何时,我想大约会是在冬季 (!!)
