Just came back from SMU sports camp, totally shagged out and lack of sleep and tomorrow will be the start of my SMU Freshman Team Building camp. It seems like I'll never get my much desired sleep at least till next Monday and I'm supposed to wake up at 6.45am tomorrow which is like less than 6hrs later. Quite a number of important events happened for the past week so I decided I'll have to sacrifice a little of my sleep to update this blog.
15th July
This marks the last day of my 7+ mth stint in StarHub. Finally after waiting for so long and numerous extension of the 'contract' I'm leaving StarHub for good. Glen and Roger on off that day so there was no one to kill time with me in the office and I end up e-mailing Lewis to chat since it's his last day as well. Finished off 30 cases and in the late afternoon cleared my cases, signed my clearance, sent out my farewell e-mails and it's the end. Felt a bit emo on that day actually as afterall it's the place where I spent my last 7mths in, talking to numerous of stupid customers in 3 different departments. It's also the place where I met many good friends especially those in the legendary team 100. I'm quite fortunate to be working in such a good environment in my very first job and throughout this 7mths I've definitely gain a lot both monetarily and non-monetarily.
So after the last day it's time to celebrate. Had a combined farewell celebration for Lewis, Bin, David, Gary, Peini and me cum Huimin's birthday at Vil'age @ Heeren. Had a proper dinner and we are finally seeing the new Greenies attending Greenies outings, though quite a lot of pple ps-ed that day. Presented Huimin with a photo album which Bin, Demong and me made in my house the day before as a team 100 birthday present for her.
After the dinner, some of us proceeded on to Party World @ Cuppage for a karaoke session. It was quite an entertaining karaoke session as most of us were quite enthusiastic about it. It was also the session with the most number of english songs sung among all the karaoke sessions I've ever attended. Sang all the way till around 3am before going back home.
July 16/17
It was an exclusive Sentosa outing for the StarHub retirees. Met up at around noon before proceeding down to Siloso beach to enjoy the sand, sun and sea. The Sun was scorching that day and it was a good opportunity for me to tan up a bit before going to sports camp the next day. Therefore we the guys started off with playing beach volleyball. Started off barefooted on the main court and felt that the sand was too hot so put on our sandals and later on played in the shade as the weather was too hot as well. Meanwhile the girls went shopping for beach wears and they can really shop for a long long time even in Sentosa. Played frisbee, soft ball and some card games before the girls joined back and we sent to play sea monkey together. Played some card games David recommended and taught us how to play and the loser will need to do a forfeit. Lewis lost and we were supposed to throw him into the water but in the end we decided to sabo David first and threw him into the sea. Lewis did not manage to escape as well as we bury him in the sand and help him enlarge his boobs and had a mini photo shooting session. It was already evening by then so the remaining few of us went to Sushi Tei for our dinner after washing up.
