But I wrote them for you
And anywhere I would be with you
No matter where, but for now we're here
So let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

I have put a closure to one part of my jc life, for myself at least.
I can move on now, although I will always be sorry for the mistake.
But it's been a good lesson for me.
Another closure is coming on friday.
The A's will be out at last.
I'm partly in hysterics, will probably become more hysterical and have a breakdown as the day draws near. Of course not in front of you, but just ignore please, I'm always like this when it comes to results day.
I was crying nonstop before the O's came out. I am an emo case see.
I don't think I'll blog about the results, it'll be too heart-breaking really.
Anyway the peast few days have been very interesting.
Monica has moved to my floor, and because she's sorta like PL in that she can talk to anybody because she's really ultra nice and friendly, made friends with the guy temp, and the next day when I came back to work invited us all to go for lunch together.
So I finally made friends with the guy temp.
Couldn't talk to him earlier, not for want of trying though, we were both always very nice and polite to each other, he kept on giving me sweets and I gave him chocolate, but it's impossible to talk in the office.
It's so freaking silent and I honestly don't dare talk much to anyone, not even Monica. I have three aunties watching me.
Maybe I'm thinking too much but I'm sure they note how often I go to the toilet too.
And in defence I really can't help it, the air-conditioning is so dehydrating, so I keep drinking water and consequently keep needing to pee. Plus I'm already conditioned to going to the loo average every three hours. Sometimes I think maybe I'm thin cos I pee out all the fats but nevermind.
Anyway everybody's friends now, and he's quite a nice guy, although something of a 20 year old ah pek.
Seriously the come the second conversation with him I was already feeling deja vu, he's like a mini version of my grandfather.
The very first lunch where we dapaoed from a mixed rice place at Adelphi and went up to the 8th floor to sit at the viewing gallery, when we later went down he lectured us from the 2nd floor all the way to the basement of funan centre against our Christian beliefs.
Second lunch he lectured us about the army and the state of Singapore's civil bureaucracy.
Third lunch which I didn't attend cos I ate with my mother, he seems to have chosen his cca life and politics as his topic for the day according to Monica.
Frankly I didn't understand anything much he was saying about the army, mostly because I'm very dense/blur so I kept missing out, but I did my best to look intelligent while going 'hah?' inside my head.
He also gave us lots of advice regarding uni, and in this nice-uncle way tried to console us that a's always turn out better than prelims. Well yes, but in TPJC the a's often turn out just like the prelims...
Anyway I am going to do my best to steer the conversation away from the army tomorrow.
But he's quite nice despite the ah pek manner (he is also a fan of Today newspaper by the way Yazzie), and they introduced me to Winpop, and we spent today winpoping each other to the detriment of our workload.
