elegantly wasted.

Merv stood me up at 6am in the morning. I was supposed to pick him up at the main road. Called him twice and sms but no reply so I just went to the gym on my own. Iva was there, she has really lost weight and I like her straight hair with the long fringe. She told me Wan is taking his driving test today and I told her about my decision to leave HDB. She looked happy, and I am happy that she is.

I sent out another email to Boon Nam after Cheng Hian told me that since the course is starting on Thursday, she will have no time to find a replacement and so the seat will be wasted and ISD will still be chargeable. I wrote "We spoke yesterday, but you did not clarify on the status of whether i am still ok to go".

And within 5 minutes, he came knocking again. He wanted me to show him my Training Plan which he signed. I showed him, and it clearly stated "Mandarin Course - 4.8 days". He said that he might be in a rush then and approved without thinking. He said that he is willing to 'let go' of the course and let ISD pay for it. FINE. He told me to look for another course which is more relavant. I wanted to say "What job? I want to leave this place, remember?". But I just nodded my head and looked at him. He left.

I wanted to talk to Wee Wah but he was busy with his new job scope. Lily was chatty today though, she wanted to take the same option as me but I think she needs more time to think it through. At 3pm I met Chris and we discussed about the design of the brackets. Later on we went down to the basement carpark and with the help of his colleague and Rosli the Parking Warden, we dismantled the existing brackets in the mobile van. Boy was it hot and humid down there and after the work is done, I came up to the office all sweaty and dirty. I was just about to leave the office to meet the guys for a movie when Nor came inside my w/s. She said that she sensed the tension between me and Boon Nam in the emails, and whether my decision to leave has got anything to do with her. She told me that while I was away, Boon Nam asked her a lot of questions. I told her what happened on Saturday and she asked whether I wanted to go talk to Boon Nam again to set things straight, she will accompany me to if I wanted her. I said no, the decision to leave was made a long time ago, and what happened the past week was just the little extra push that I needed.

Picked CK up at Bt Timah then we met the others (Daniel, Sofian and Su Yian) at Plaza Singapura. 'Catch me if you can' was good, a light hearted breezy kinda movie. Abignale is a genius! CK and Su Yian then treated us dinner at KFC. Since KC was at PS too for his Mac meeting, I called him up and he joined us. I told the whole gang about what's been happening at work. Sofian had funny story too about his day of work. What he thought was a job selling pub concepts turned out to be a door-to-door thing selling encyclopedias!
