Things I'm grateful for today...
Even if it sounds a bit like those prayers, no it's definitely not. Just that whilst walking to the train station from China Square, it suddenly occurred to me that despite mad man being mad as usual, there were a lot of little things that made my day. And these are the things that keep me going. Anyway, the 2 things I reflected upon on my way to the train station:
(1) NTUC Income. Yup, the scholarship may have caused me to lag a year behind my peers, but it brought along new opportunities and friends, which would probably not exist in my life. After having lunch with legal today (plus Caroline, who was part of legal too), I realised that just as you can take me out of RGS but not take RGS traits out of me, by the same nature, I can be out of NTUC Income, but a part of NTUC Income will still remain in me. It's been 2 years since I celebrated lao ban's birthday with the section, but it all felt so surreal and reminiscent of the past at Muthu's Curry today. Whether Vincent meant it or not, his offer to talk to Mr Peh made him really daddy-like, which also reminded me why he would always be the boss I respect most. Thanks, Vincent, and happy birthday in advance! (I want to see Evan.. Bring Evan!!!!)
(2) Shaun. After so many years of trying to find my optimistic and cheery self (the one whom Qiuting used to describe as always smiling), I realised that I did become more cheerful these days, even though facing mad man and his protege doesn't seem to be a particularly pleasing task. The key to optimism, I think, is the amount of running, exercising I've been subjecting myself to. In fact, I was probably cheerier in NJC because I used to skip, bounce everywhere and even across the library. Maybe that's why nespray was such an optimistic person too (Hmm.. I wonder how he is now). Anyway, even if you won't get a chance to see this, thanks Shaun, for at least making me slightly more enthu about exercising, such that I might have finally found the elusive key to turning myself back into the cheery Yaofang I used to be.
