after hours and resignation letters

The first episode of After Hours just aired. I love the feel of the show. Don’t ask me why but I’ve always liked shows that depict the next stage of life that I’m about to embark on. For example I loved Spin when I was in secondary school. Why? Cause Spin was about a bunch of poly students. It portrayed the kind of lifestyle that I wanted to have in poly and guess what? My poly life turned out exactly the way I wanted it to! Better than how I imagined it would be actually. Then during poly days, there were quite a couple of shows that caught my eye. Two of them were Chase and Chemistry. Now these shows were about people in the working force, juggling their jobs and social/love life. Now I know the next stage after poly was NS and then uni then working life but still.. Hey it never hurts to look ahead right? Well After Hours is essentially Chase part 2. And did I mention the theme song? Written and composed by Linda Liao no less. I have an idea of what kind of life I want to lead when I start working and I hope that I would be able to achieve (and maintain) it.

I spent the entire Saturday that just went by at home. I notice my life goes in cycles. There’ll be busy periods jammed packed with social outings, busy at work, busy at home, etc.. And then it’ll all cool down after awhile and life takes a breather before picking up the pace again. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing the same thing as well? Anyway, I thought staying at home to chill once in a while is always good. It gives me some time to find myself again. Or to go back into my cave, as some experts would put it. I think this kind of days are going to be hard to come by once I start school so I’d better treasure it right now.

Speaking of which, I’ve finished typing (and printing) my resignation letter. Was easier than I thought it would be. Just google a template out and there it is.. Freshly minted resignation letter. I’ll be starting school again come May so I gotta be quitting my job end April. Lots of things to hand over. My understudy hasn’t even arrived yet. Plus I need to guide and train him up before I go. And not forgetting I got to make sure the new contract is administered properly and past records are settled. The contract with Keppel Seghers is ending this week but I think we’re more or less going to sign the one year extension with them. Their Zone Engineers have been in contact with Air-Temp regarding this issue so yeah no worries on that front. I’m sure Ah Goh will be able to whip something saucy up!

Thaminator here.

If you are the seer with the magic mirrorball that speaks of the future, then surely I am the gravedigger, excavating the buried past.

I am SOOO sentimental you know! I am constantly haunted by history, not satisfied with taking one peep back and go on taking more peeps and soon I am living in the shadow of the past instead of reaching out to the sunshine that never dies.

The future is an unknown, you'll never know when the ground beneath your feet will give way.

Anyway, (still Thaminator), I happened to drop by Eddie's blog (someone visited mine from his site) and I saw wonderful pictures of the SCSC guys - GASP - having fun!

I left a message on his tagboard saying how relieved and glad I was to see them united in such rare splendor of laughter and sheer foolery as they made merry at night, barechested, hugging each other with liquor in their hands.

It was hell for me, Colin and Winfrid but that era...

was over.

Eugene,

I DO NOT mean to sound so melancholic, though it gave me immense pleasure and joy to spam your blog comment box.

Tham - I guess the past is something that most people would enjoying going back to. Probably because we already knew what happened. The future would be filled with uncertainty and that is also probably the reason why many people fear it. Haha.. SCSC have really changed. It's a totally different environment from when we were there. Almost all the old faces have left. And what's left of our time there is now but a distant memory. But I'm glad I was part of that memory. It'll stay with me always that's for sure. =)
