National Day.

Unlike the folks in mainland China, we have a grand total of 3 days of holiday over this Chinese National Day holidays, of which one of them was a Sunday, which is a public holiday anyway, and a Saturday, which is a half-day for some people. So in total, there was still only one day of holiday. But since it’s a long weekend, I don’t think that many people would be complaining. I, for one, am not.

The long weekend was a fairly good one for me, with the only down point being going back to CityU for a make-up class on Saturday afternoon. It’s not the most exciting way to spend a Saturday afternoon, but I think what’s amazing is that not many people from CityU seem to think that way – the campus was full of people on a Saturday afternoon! I’m sure NUS would be almost emptied out on a Saturday afternoon…

Was supposed to have gone to Ocean Park yesterday, but when my sis and I arrived at Admiralty to take the bus to Ocean Park, we were so put off by the long queue that we decided that we’ll give the theme park a miss, even though that would mean paying $20 more the next time to go there as they are having a price hike. But then I’m just not prepared to crowd myself out in a theme park when I’m supposed to be having fun there.

Would be back to work tomorrow – somehow there seem to be something about the job that I don’t know how to describe. After a month there, I don’t think I can say I love the job yet, but there’s still something that I feel about it, and I just don’t know how to put it into words. Maybe I’m still in the process of getting used to the job. Oh well. Things should turn out to be better, I guess.
