Soy veintisiete años

Another year gone by and I have turned a year older....

hmm...thurs was a pretty "normal" day. Went to work as usual. After the morning briefing was over, a collague saw me and wished me happy birthday. My boss gave me a present. I didn't expect this. I appreciate her gesture but I find it a bit wierd.....especially the present.

Met my sec sch girlfriends for dinner. We always celebrate each other's birthday every year without fail since our sec sch days. For the first time after knowing her for so many years, ger brought her bf along. Congrats gal! so happy for you! :) And to the guy, you better treat her well!! Anyway we had dinner at wheellock place. Too bad shir and ting couldn't make it but I enjoyed the simple celebration. Love the black forest cake guys!

Practice resumed yesterday and attendance was not that good. Had dinner at kopitiam with them and my conductor came. As most of them finished their food, they quickly made a move. Leaving me, ed and joa with him. My conductor asked me how I was doing at work and I replied "boring"!. He said "you know why? no ambition. There is nothing that you have to work towards to when climbing the career ladder". That didn't occur to me all these while....maybe he is right. I don't have an ambition. I still don't know what to do and still can't find what I want to do or maybe what I like to do.....

The band has decided to participate in the national band competition in july. Aiming to repeat our golden feat two years ago.BUT I learnt that we are playing El Camino Real as our choice piece.....hmm......oh well, we'll see how it goes. After practice was over, sy started her "lelong sale" of band t-shirts. I bought the new orange one :) As I was about to leave with cher and the others to ice cold beer, ms and mel suddenly stopped me and presented me with a small gift from HR and my euph section! Everyone broke out with a birthday song. Thank You My Symphonians! :)So Sweet.......

At Ice Cold Beer, I had a margarita which was nice. Later into the night, suddenly felt really giddy and a pain in my stomach. Headed to the toilet where I threw up everything I ate earlier. My stomach hurts like hell and I felt really faint. Nope I'm not drunk. Just felt like I was going to faint. Luckily sy came to my rescue. She always comes to my rescue...haha....so once again sy and mel shared cab with me to make sure i got back home safely. To the both of you, I owe you a A LOT!

Now that I am older.....once more....I hope to embark on a more fufilling journey for the next chapter of my life. Lately I have been feeling kind of tired with what I have been doing. Although I love playing in the band, I wonder whether it is time to stop. I enjoy the company of my smyphos.....but being an alumnus without the other alumni, I feel out of place sometimes. No longer am I on the same topic of boring classes, incompetent profs, endless project meetings and interesting events and happenings in school. I used to have these common topics with my classmates but that was during my uni days....been two years since I graduated from this uni. Guess what I can do is tell the current members what working life is like......haha....need to pass on....

But besides music, I need something else. I want a job that I love. Right now, its not exactly what I want so the only things I can do now is to gain experience first. But then, I am not sure if I am getting the relevant experience. Probably I should listen to yx and try my best to make the most out of my situation. Don't balk when I see an obstacle.

With more free time on hand now, should I look into other aspects to upgrade myself? Maybe relearn my spanish and enrol in a class. Learn a new skill? Photoshop maybe?

And the last thing that I hope to have is......

anyway have a good weekend!
