so once again, i have succumbed to an unintended hiatus and have neglected this space. in my defence, i have none.
unfortunately, i chose the wrong time to not blog because as fate would have it, the festive season passed with many an event but now i have nothing but my memory to fall back on when i want to recall christmas 2010 & CNY 2011. well, i should write about them one of these days. christmas 2010 was particularly memorable for SOME reasons haha.
i have officially started my life as a working person. after much consideration, i turned down NUS and their pretty good offer of a steady income and comfortable hours, to try my luck as a journalist with ESPNStar.com. i will soon sign a one-year contract which will take me through to feb 2012, where i can then decide if reporting and journalism is a path i want to take. after which, i can either renew my contract if they want me, or further my education by specialising in journalism/writing, or looking for another job with perhaps a focus on print media. because apparently, website editorial is the poor cousin in the writing world. or so i've been told.
other than that, friends have once again dried up lol. on chinese new year, iylia left for perth, and then just last friday, james went back to melbourne. iylia, who i've been seeing pretty alot throughout our NS days, and james who right before he left we were meeting really often, were basically my two most frequent friends for the past awhile.
thankfully, imran's back from melbourne for good, looking for a job as a geomancer i think since he studied geomatics. so hopefully there's weekly/bi-weekly coffee with my trinity friend.
went out for coffee at holland with su ching the other day. or rather, i watched her drink coconut water at the market, before she watched me drink coffeebean HA. was pretty good actually, until i offered to send her to west mall for her driving lesson. as fate would have it, mum drove the passat so i had to take the ole beetle. almost got us killed i think. last time she'll be sitting in my car, that's for sure LOL.
went to cousin lionel's wedding on saturday evening. was a pretty moving and beautiful ceremony. thoroughly enjoyed myself; seeing all the similar-age cousins getting married, think it's easier to appreciate the whole situation when you reach that particular age group.
dropped by punggol marina after that to find azad & jeremy who were fishing. fail night, zero bite. went for supper after that at jalan kayu which was invariably more fruitful.
it's already 1:30 and i have to wake up in three and a half hours for work. better get a move on sleep. until next time, gabriel out.
lights off, pyjamas on
1:16 AM
