But anyway, I'll be going through 3 days of orientation tomorrow. The official start of work, which is the 9-month training course, will begin on 25th July, Monday. If you ask me whether I'm really looking forward to it, my reply would be 'kinda'... However, I feel that I haven't played enough! Why did the holidays have to end so quickly?? :(
Today was my last day to truly do anything at all. So I took the opportunity to go down to M1 to change my iphone... haha. It isn't spoilt or anything. It's just that the Home button was getting a little unresponsive (and when I say little, I mean really LITTLE!). Sometimes when I press it, it doesn't respond, sometimes, it'll register as a double-click. So I thought, let's just make use of the 1-for-1 exchange (1 year warranty) to change it. The funny thing was, when I reached Paragon, I wanted to go to the washroom first. AND AND AND, I met Miss Giam in there!!!!! haha such a coincidence.
It also just so happened that when I wished her Happy Birthday last week, we commented that we should meet up with each other either on Monday or Tuesday this week, but I was in Malaysia yesterday and today, being the last day before work, I wanted to just stay home to rest. Really damn qiao lor! And she wanted to go to the M1 shop with her mum-in-law to get her a new phone. So we managed to catch up for a while in the shop.
Btw, many people are utterly shocked by my choice to join the SPF... Especially the teachers. Miss Giam, Mr Tan JS, etc. etc... Sometimes, when I receive that kind of 'feedback face', I get a little discouraged. Did they think I made a rash decision or did they think that it's not suited for me? But Natasha totally made me realise that I did not make a rash decision at all. At the CJ retreat which we were facilitating, she went around telling everybody how while we were still in CJ, I kept telling people I wanted to be in the police force and that was my dream. She said she was really happy for me to have gone on the path that I have dreamed about for such a while. Funny how it takes people around you to help you realise certain things.... I myself have already forgotten the things I said in CJ about this dream.... (the only period I can remember saying I wanna be in the police force was after I started uni) Miss Giam also felt that I am flexible and that I should be able to adapt well... Hopefully what she said is true!
Btw, I got a 'new' phone.... My mum kept saying it's probably a refurbished set, which I believe it is too... But oh wells, should be able to last me another year! :)
