And today was the last day of work, the day that I had been very much looking forward to. But when it actually came, I didnt really feel much joy or anything, just a acceptance that holiday is over(soon) and playtime is over(soon),after orientation and the honeymoon period of first few weeks before we would have to start cracking our heads over unfinished essays, projects,presentations....and the mugging at the central library would start soon.

But I digress. Today's work was super productive. I guess its always like that,when it occurs to you that its your last day and you are suddenly spurred on to work harder to make up for the slackness of the past. I had lunch at Kopitiam opposite office which is a first for me,even after 3 months of working there. I wanted to go to Bugis, to bid au revoir, but I didnt want to set foot in there again after the 'horrific' incident yesterday. It was nothing la...just that the same two bakers in four leaves that I mentioned before kept fixing their gaze upon me as soon as I set foot in the store and attempted to say hello, which I pretended I didnt hear. I paid up and hastily left the shop without looking back.

Anyway, many people seemed to know that it was my last day today, and would just stop by my desk to talk to me,which I thought was very nice of them. Most gave encouragment and all that..and all urged me to come back and work during the next holiday,to which I gave an evasive answer. I got some farewell gifts as well, from the colleagues who are closer to me.. Some chocolates, 2 pairs of earrings, some decorative stuff and a lovely chunky bracelet with a heart shaped charm. Yay, I was especially happy with the last gift cos I thought it was quite funky and fashionable and I have always wanted to buy something like that, just unwilling to spend on accessories,except earrings,which I spend a ton on...hahah.. I felt kind of sad when I was going around saying bye to people though, sort of an attachment to the place no matter how much I complain about the job, how boring it is and all..hahah..would I be back the next hol? I don't know as well, too early to say..shall just wait and see...

And now, I have to pack up my room..sigh..been getting complains about the messiness of it. TO me, packing means throwing away things..hahah..cos my room isnt that big and whenever I come across something that I don't know where to keep and is not useful, I would just chuck it away. Terribly unsentimental, and terribly wasteful..hahah..but then again,the things I throw away are mostly really useless stuff. My room is marginally neater now. But I am still not satisfied, think that would be more throwing of stuff tmr. And I have got to get rid of last sem's notes and textbooks as well....haiz. This is where it gets tough. I don't want to throw away my old notes as I don't know when I might need it again or read it again for that matter. Ah, but would I ever read it again? hahah, I am so awfully lazy. Plus there are really alot of notes which takes up alot of space. I think I shall just throw...
