Okok... I knoe i haven't been here for a LOOOONG time... I've been so tired every nite when i come home from work and thus i din have time to update here... My apologies...
Well so many things happened within the span of these 2 weeks... Life has kinda changed for me yet again... And i'm a person who doesn't realli like changes...
First and foremost, i started work at IRAS... I'm working 5.5 daes a week, weekdaes 8am - 4.30pm and sat 8.30am - 1pm... I'm under the e-filing helpline department, and my job is basically to take calls and help taxpayers wif their enquires regarding e-filing... Calls have been coming in pretty slowly for the past 2 weeks, averaging at ard 150 per dae... And since there r ard 16 ppl in my department, each one of us onli answer like 10 calls per dae... Wat do we do when our phones r not ringing? Well, we talk, read newspapers and books, eat and even sleep (yes it's allowed!)... Sounds like a pretty good life huh?
The biggest event of last week was, undoubtedly, the release of the A level results... I certainly dun feel like announcing my results to the whole world over here, so all i can sae is, i din do well... Not good enuff for me to enter my dream course - mass communications in NTU... I may seem totally alrite usually, but when the nite comes ard and all, i can sometimes get veri upset abut this... To me, it's juz like rheumatism, u'll feel fine usually, but once in a while it can come back to haunt u and get u down... After all, i'm dealing wif a shattered dream and oso a sense of regret which may stay wif me for a long long time... But i guez i'll heal somedae...
For the time being i've been doing a lot of research on the courses available in the universities and attending talks etc... I even took leave for later todae juz to go to the open hses of NTU and NUS... Hopefully i wld be able to gather more info about the courses i can take and finally decide on wat to put down on the application form... But sad to sae, my choices r quite limited... Hai...
Ok i guez that'll be all for now... I promise to update here again soon... I promise.
