Then as i get ready to leave the house. It starts to drizzle and so i brought my umbrella along, as i cut through Ghim Moh Market and slowly walk to the bus stop at Holland Road. The rain got bigger and bigger and bigger, till my jeans and shoes are all wet despite me carrying an umbrella. Maybe it was a signal for me to turn back and call back office to clear my off.
Ended up going to office and wasn't really in the mood to work.Then Kana scolded by my boss because something cock up in one officer's out-processing. It wasn't really my fault because apparently up there, they cannot decide which admin centre should handle his out processing - as the unit he belongs to is all over the island. And at the last moment, one day after his ORD, the "arrow" was shot to us, given the short notice, and the national day period, of coz there is certain unavoidable delays in paperwork.
Cases like this makes me wonder if centralising the manpower, and some logistics & support unit is correct. This can get quite confusing at times. He might be based at unit A, hq at unit B, and he out-process at unit C. Funny, isn't it?
And this officer is my track & field junior. Think that he cannot recognize me anymore though. But will he give me face even he can recognize? Haha i dun so.
---------------------------------------------------------------
But the good news of the day is that the number of days off has been finalized. Given another additional 3 days off for my involvement in hot-line. How to clear 6 days off by the middle of next month??? *shiver*
And my office also got a few tickets to last night's firework celebrations. I managed to secured one ticket, and together with Jiahe, we decided to bring his "god-son" in the office, SY, along to watch the fireworks.
I dunno what words to be used to describe him. Just that i can say that he's the same age with us, and he really need a lot of guidance. Bringing him along yesterday was a challenge, we have to keep eyeballing him to make sure he dun get lost in the crowd.
It's kinda funny to go back to the floating platform, but less the "special treatment". Have to queue to go in - no more security passes. Hahaha. It's already my 8th visit there, but the first without working. =P
The seats that are assigned to us are right up at the last row. Found myself back at the position where Mel & i stood to watch the preview. But the view at last row is actually the best. Wanted to take pict but eventually decided against it because my N73 is a bit lapse in capturing. And just watched as the fireworks unfolded.
We enjoyed the fireworks truly but the same cannot be said of SY. He looked lost in a different world and looked very tired. And so Jiahe and I decided to walk him back to City Hall Mrt, from there he can take train back home. I taught him which escalators to take to reach his train, but he suddenly hesitated once he entered the gate, and was wondering to take right or left, before finally using the correct escalator to go down - while Jiahe and I watched in absolute horror.
The purpose of bringing him out, is part of our common goal, of hopefully he can open up more in these 2 years. If he continues to be introvert, living in his own world, lacking social skills, we are worried of him surviving in this society. But for now, he's the baby of our office.
Jiahe, SY, Mel and me
Jiahe, me, Mel
