Whirlpool... (Imported From Xanga)

I feel like I'm riding an emotional roller-coaster for the whole of this week... Tons of news - some bad, some good - have been bombarding me ever since I stepped into the office on [Monday]... Currently, I'm still in a state of shock from the latest blow tt I've received via mail (will elaborate in due time)...

I've heard rumours... But on [Mon], my superiors confirmed tt I'll no longer be paid to rot in [Publication]... Instead, I'll be holding a more impt appointment as [Asisstant Cheif Clerk], thanks to my fantastic ['A' Level] results... You wouldn't think tt it's anything bad... But this position requires me do my reservist, like any other normal soldiers... Imagine tt!!! A [PES E] personnel like me, having to do reservist, while the others happily continue their life as civillians @ the end of their 2 yrs... There goes my wish of washing my hands off [NS] @ the end of my 2 yrs...

Of course, if I were to think in tt persective, my 2 yrs will be living hell for me... Hence, by placing everything in persective, life's not tt bad after all... I mean, everyone has reservist... And for those normal soldiers, they still haev their [IPPT], while I don't... So in a sense, it's a blessing in disguise... Furthermore, my future superior isn't tt demanding boss which I dread... LOL... I don't know why... But I do feel tt having a female superior is better... Guess I just dislike to be in the company of guys...

Anyway, I have until today to be rotting... From this coming [Mon], I'll be in my new appointment and I can finally work my brain and be busy doing work instead of reading my novels... Contatry to what all of my collegues are saying, I don't give a damn whether my orgainsation is exploiting me or not... But giving such a high appointment to a low ranking personnel like moi... If I like it, I don't care if I'm underpaid... For now, money isn't @ the top of my mind... Being free to use my com and [Maple] is @ the top of my mind now... I mean, when I'm in uni, I doubt I'll have this much free time anymore... *Sigh*

O-k-a-y... Talking abt uni, I just received a letter from [NUS] stating tt I'm being accepted to the biz course tt I've selected... It's a relieve really... All week, I've been hearing tt most of my friends have received their confirmation letter from this uni and tt uni... All except moi... I'm beginning to worry tt my application's been turned down... Which is a tough thing to fanthom considering my good grades... @ least now I can finally put half my mind @ ease... The other half though, will still be fretting if I'll ger accepted into [NTU]... I've gone for the interview and till now, there isn't any replies from them... Perhaps my screw up was worse than what I've imagined... Oh well... I'm still keeping my fingers cross and hoping for a reply soon...

Oh well... I shall end here for now... The steamboat pics will be out soon... Remember, patience is a virtue... *Grins*

@ an interview for the biz course @ [NTU]...
Interviewer: Do you read the newspaper???
Friend: No...
Interviewer: Why???
Friend: Because newspapers get our fingers dirty...
(No joke!!! This exchange really did take place...)
