A diamond in the making.
Work is not always easy. It also does not have to pack a paycheck of or beyond your expectations. For me, the main thing is to learn. Without doubt, that I did - very much so.
Before I've entered the working society, I've always thought that I know a lot already, which I still do not deny, but what entering the working society has taught me is that, with every Mount Fuji, there is a Mount Everest. Working in Novus Cafe has been an eye-opener for me.
Never before in my life, have I seen someone so influential, that he commands, not demands, total respect from almost everyone - me included. The above mentioned is one of the managers in my working place, and there has been immense changes ever since his arrival less than a week ago. He doesnt get respect through fear, coercion, or by sucking up. And that's damn impressive.
I've bought a lot of weird stuff after I received my partial pay. Amongst the many, I've got a new bike. Guess what, I didnt buy it on my off day, but right after work. It all just happened, Wanyi and I just decided to ride home from Dhoby Ghaut to Yew Tee. Of course, you cant just ride blindly and expect to land right smack at your destination. We got ourselves 2 maps, and almost got a compass, if not for the fact that it was grotesquely ugly. Try to imagine 2 people in white formal tops and black formal pants pushing bicycles out of Carrefour. We were practically laughing our asses until we were out of Plaza Sing.
The ride made for a refreshing and a relaxing one, but it took us almost 3 hours, 10.30pm to 1.20am, to reach Yew Tee, which was quite a feat considering it was our first time and that the maps were of minimal use. It really felt like a once in a lifetime experience for me.
And it's still out of my reach.
We were just kids in love.
It's still all of the things that I want in my life.
