Move along - The All-American Rejects

Two weeks of the holiday have passed and perhaps it's time to consolidate what happened. This holiday most of my friends are at home and enjoy the holiday with their family. And every time i talked to them online, i was so tempted to buy a ticket online and go home the next morning but sadly i could not. The most relief thing i could do is to make a phone call. Sometimes, 10-15 minutes are enough!
These two weeks i have been living like a man who earns his own living (not scholar's allowance). For the first two days i woke up at 7 and took a bus to A*Star where i worked and i reached there at 8h30 or 9. But i felt it so boring to take bus everyday so for the third day i decided to cycle there, and guess what it took me 35 min only. The cycling innovation allowed me to wake up at 7h45 in the consecutive days. In the afternoon, i returned at 4h30 and reached hostel at about 5h15 or 5h30. Actually i was required to stay until 5 but hell, the boss and lab techs left at 4h3o, some even at 4, why must i stay so late? UNFAIR! For a work that is definitely laborious, but for sure doesn't require brain at all, i was paid 50$ per day. I don't know how much an average Singaporean earns per day but for me, for 5 days i earned 250$ which is like 1/3 of my allowance (for 3 months). Hahaha such a good deal, isnt it? I remembered the week before that i helped Mrs.Tan clean her house and she paid me 80$ . At this point, i think A*Star is exploiting me. Am i that cheap?
Doing all that work makes my body feel like nothing other than a block of moving fat and proteins (or not even move at all). The moment i lifted my butt from the chair, there seems something pulling me down. Sometimes, i didnt even want to get up. Just sit down and stare at the screen! Then it was so perfect that Gwen asked me whether i want to dance for IP team. So happily, I felt like i can move again. Perfect, i returned at 5, having dinner and practiced the dance with Yida at 7. Perfect, at least i exercised so i wont get obese. But sometimes getting fatter isnt that bad. When i put on Nam's costumes, i wished my belly is at least the size of that belly dancer so the pants wouldnt drop. Now i am trying to gain weight :) Dancing again is so fun, dancing with juniors is even more fun and once again being in an IP team is the funniest (i am a retainee). Thank you everyone who has been with me through this experience!
That was about work life, dance life and interestingly i realised that people like my facebook notes, not because of anything but its lameness. Thanks to Jade, Alison, Hang ...for complimenting me! Really those notes were done when i just wanted to be free, i just throwed the words without considering it be appropriate. That s the blessing and the curse of a FREE mind. I will produce more as long as you all like it and read it.
Yeah this post is entirely a reply to PP's request. I updated my blog for you and what about you? WIll you do the same thing? Just for me. Omg, this sounds so gay.
P.S Did i miss out anything? Hell, 2 weeks are long.
