November wake-up call

After some days of early mornings, I seem to have adapted. Am I very adaptable? But there isn't any more birds' chirping, except on that first morning. How weird!!

Adventure Click is still keeping mum, when is the news going to be out?? Or am I not shortlisted... I'm still hoping to hear at least something from them!! Tell me, yes or no!!! The voting results have also changed, more and more people are voting for Germany, and it overtook Greece which was first on the list.

The dress code at work is smart (casual), moreover my surrounding tells that jeans are better kept for Friday since we're at the same level with the Board directors. Last night, I dug out a whole stack of clothes and began ironing. I had no idea what I should wear, I never need to dress formal for most of my previous jobs. So it's always a headache in the morning. The good thing is my sister is up at the same time, so we often exchange remarks about one another's dressing and help each other to make better decision. So having a sibling of the same gender is not that bad, isn't it.

Dragonboat is hurting me like hell, I wonder why it gets worse and worse after more sessions. My body felt like ripping apart on Sunday, wasn't a good time to relax. My poor fingers were 'injured' at the training because someone stupid wrapped plaster around the paddle and its rough surface was tearing at my flesh the whole 2 hours!! However, despite I was physically tortured, we did something hilarious. We paddled under the Merlion's spitting 3 times. Those tourists and people in the duck tour/sampan boats couldn't stop snapping pictures of us. I might have to give second thoughts about continuing, maybe I should return to pilates which I'd prefer more.

I haven't see any money coming in yet, though doing a temporary job now does mean situation is improving. I dislike $ but I still need them to live...

My dear friend is having job trouble and might not be home for Xmas, which is really a let-down because it's already so near to Christmas! I sometimes ponder over what's the main motivation for her to want to remain in a foreign place, is it the greed for money, the desire to succeed in career or is it for a man who is not worthy of her admiration - I hope she makes the right choice :))

After all these time, I realized a lot of places can be your home but the one with true friends and love (not just romantic love, but all other kinds) is the best one to be in. Stay true to your heart:)
