the peeling-of-skin-under-the-shoe mystery has finally been solved... what happened was i got this black shoe from URS previously when i went back to s'pore and after wearing it for less than 5 times, the bottom layer of the shoe started peeling off like how a snake skin peels off... it was damn gross... and i did not know why it was like this, so i showed it to prisy hoping that she would know what to do, and she was like what the hell??!! i have never seen shoes like this before... yeah, me too... so anyway and then yesterday i showed the shoe to michelle and she was like oh it's like this, the shoes sold in singapore all have a layer of plastic stuck to it and you can peel it off if you want to or if not, just wait for it to come off... and prisy and i were both like ohhhh... thank god nothing weird was happening to my shoe... and i only wore it less than 10 times... seriously i think my feet are unsuitable for heels... heels and i are just not meant to be...
went to the city for lunch and bowling with yochi and joanne... bowling was quite fun but very short... the place we went to was glow in the dark and bcos we went in the afternoon, there was not many people... after that we decided to go have some dessert... we wanted to go to lindt since we were already at darling harbour, but we ended up eating waffles at andersen's... which was not bad actually... the waffles were fresh and we just sat and chatted... dunno if we would these opportunities once all us started working next year...
wed... went to my new workplace to meet up with the manager and the team... there were 5 team members excluding me... 3 OTs (plus me next year, so 4), 1 PT and 1 exercise physiologist... they were all really nice and funny i guess... i was given the opportunity to sit and ask them some questions... hopefully i will be able to work well with them as a team and adjust well to working life starting next year...
the thing bugging me now is the damn PR thing... and now that i think abt it, it's all uni's fault... if they hadn't wanted me to do another few weeks of placement now, i would have already completed everything and can start applying for PR... so now have to wait till jan before i can really do anything... and work kind of wants me to get it before my student visa expired in march... what a pain...
and today, met up with chunyi and amber... chunyi apparently came to attend her grad ceremony... too bad the rest of them were unable to come, otherwise it would good to catch up with them... but it was still nice to catch up with her and her new job... hearing her talk abt her job in singapore made me really hesitating abt going back to work... cos according to her and alot of other people, the work demands and the environment are very different... chunyi is apparently working from 8am-9pm every day... i was like ohmigod, that's more than 12 hours a day... that's crazy... and she also said that it is quite important to know how to speak the dialects like cantonese and hokkien... i was like oh crap... how am i going to work there then?
and btw, it was such a shitty day to be out of the house... it was pouring outside today and traffic was horrendous... it took me more than an hour to get to strathfield which is usually like a half hour drive... by the time i got there, and i was like half an hour late too... i was going into road rage mode... being stuck in traffic is definitely not funny...
