dang! family day at sentosa on sat. and now i have to pay for the entrance fee =( no more cool staff pass.
and yea i've finally quitted the islandlife girl title. a teeny weeny tinge of reluctance, but a sense of liberation as well. at least i don't have to feel guilty anymore for trying to concoct excuses every week. and i don't have to dread the weekends. though a little less on my income, but i guess freedom is definitely better than cash.
the day i returned my uniform turned out better than i expected. i definitely didn't see any soap opera kind of emotional departure coming, probably just a goodbye and thats all. but stepping into the familiar shop once more did send a little chill down my spine. and when the cleaner, whom i used to see every morning, called out for me while i was on my way back to the monorail station, i found myself lost for words. and then i broke into a smile that sustained for at least half a day. i've not expected anyone to recognize me out of my uniform, much less someone whom i've not even conducted a proper conversation with before. and to pass on words of concern is out of the picture. maybe there's much more warmth on the island than i've seen and heard.
i'll miss it every now and then. it is afterall the first job that i've stuck with the longest. 6 months, thats 1/2 a year. and i think that it really is quite long.
