菜鳥第十二期

It's like a whole week of work this week and I started feeling tired since wed 😪

Haha sounds like I'm flaunting abt my pretty flexi work schedule 

But glad catch ups on wed and thurs made it much better :) :) 

Returned to the army show after a long time haha - colleagues say it has been a month lol

Then episodes discussion commence and ... 

Eyes get abit lazy at times hahaha

Was notified to do my first shadow scripts for ep5 - and the discussion commenced on Friday 

Kinda worrying lol I think I'm gonna fail this 

Prob my lack of confidence at play again 

But also because my episode includes so many tech army terms that I have little idea of 😪

Okay anw just got to try and get it done 

Just got to treat it like a practice instead of a test

丢开得失心!!! 

:)

Monday and Tuesday nights were spent on my dear harry potter and the cursed child 😍😍😍

Thanks to my cousin who bought it back from his uk exchange 

And oh my

I was totally brought back to the magical world once again 

There were goosebumps, anxiety, fear, tears, smiles, joy, and so much nostalgia 

Totally fell in love with scorpius malfoy after the show - and how glad I am that he's the child of Draco 🙆 and live the life Draco desired :)

Ah falling back into the hogwarts world again as I recall the details of the book 

Albus wasn't perfect, just like Harry wasn't, but their imperfections make their reconciliation in just the right way :') 

Time-turning isn't a new idea - pretty used I think - but this actually satisfies our idea of alternative endings for the seventh book

And portrayed how regrets and sorrow are unfortunate but necessary for having a better world 

And after finishing the book

I started on the 24 minds of billy michigan ... Sometimes during work hahahah 

Loved how it's so character-focused and developed  

And how the different personalities are actually present in everyone of us but in more subtle forms 

Anw half-way through now heh 

Met LY and Kim at bedok on wed after the meeting ended early (cause colleagues went fr a farewell gathering fr another colleagues hehe)

Had makisan salad and blackball - both are long-time-no-eat items 😍 

Though it was short too cause LY had to rush home

But it's somehow refreshing after all the laughs (though I can't rmb what they were abt haha) 

Rushed to meet Angela and muni on thurs after work and after I sold my OE textbook heh

Was super late cause the meeting ended at 750 lol (and ended at 8 on fri haha getting later and later)

Though it was a short hour cause they all wanna go back to rest for work next day 

But it was still pretty funny and relaxing we actually felt more energized after we meet lol 

Oh and there was a suspicious person on train when I was on my day such that I entertained the idea of train blast lol 

But also felt how easy it is for us to die cause we know so little about how we shld react in such situations 

And funnily haha they said they entered the building despite an ongoing fire alarm cause they were hungry lol

We are totally lacking the sense of danger manz hahaha 

Sat was spent at the northern singapore hahah nex shopping w papa and mama 

Then cousin's bday lunch 

And lee chong wei's olympics badminton match at night 

Wonder why we were anxious actually haha felt like Singapore-Malaysia does share some brotherhood ties 

Went fr a walk w mama from house to ahma's house on Sunday 

And caught many pokemons and ppl-catching-pokemons along the wah hahaha

Mama's battery died after that 3hr walk lol 

Was watching the national day rally as I typed this

And was shocked by pmlee's fainting spell

It was an intense 10minutes of wait while my family sat there waiting fr updates 

And we are so thankful that he is well eventually 

Totally impressed by his tenacity and determination 

And thankful that we have a leader possibly stronger than all of us in combination

Leaving a quote from the end of pmlee's as a future reminder:

Recently, somebody asked me at a dialogue “If God appeared before you and asked you for three things that you would want for Singapore, what would these be?”

I was taken aback. I thought for a while and replied: If we wish for material things, we will regret it, because after we have got it, we will not be satisfied and we will want more. But what I would like is that we be blessed with a divine discontent - always dissatisfied with where we are; always driven to do better. And yet, that we have the wisdom to count our blessings, so that we know how precious Singapore is, and we know how to enjoy and protect it.

If just these two wishes are fulfilled, that will be enough. Then we can keep on building something special in Singapore for many more years, and “Achieve Happiness, Prosperity, and Progress, for our nation”.
