the feeling is back

it's been some days since i last sat in front of the pc. no. that's a lie. i've been facing the pc so much at work that i'd kill for a break. that was just an expression. lots of things have been going on recently. lots more thoughts. but as usual, they usually hide somewhere in my bigger-than-homo-erectus' brain by the time i get to sit in front of the pc and log on to this.
it has been a looong time - can i emphasize that word any further? - since i last had that feeling. i had thought going back to school with nus would bring back that kind of fun i had in secondary school. i was wrong but i hope i'll be proven right within the next few semesters. it's back to vacation now and to make sure i get to go taiwan end of this year, i'll have to work this vacation.
work. dull. they always seem to equate. that was what i had expected until i began work and 3 days into working, i get to reminisce the feeling of being back at school. oxymoronic. paradoxical. whatever you call it, it doesn't matter. i had great fun at work. more so after the boardroom meeting. even more so when i hear of the 19th may outing to sentosa with my department. i cannot deny that i am one of the pathetically lucky guys in my department but that aside, my colleagues are really wonderful people. it felt like i am back to school all over again. i have no infatuation with sentosa but i hope to get to know my colleagues better. they are the kind of friends i've not had in a looong time - another emphasis.
yvonne told me at the boardroom meeting today, 'you are going to love us'. she's wrong. i already do. suddenly i don't hope for this vacation to end. it's kinda weird. i prayed for holiday since this semester began. one reason was due to the history module i was taking. another reason? i've said it again and again, it didn't feel like school. it was like we were strictly there for a degree. in a sense, yes but to be honest, i am there to have fun.
i think the person who spiced up the whole meeting the most was kell. she was magnificently energetic. and loud but in an interesting way. i had thought hajar was hyperactive until today. everyone's so hyped up everyday just like back in (fill in the blank) .
still wondering what a pathetically lucky guy mean? it's put there to confuse you. =)
