NUSBS FOC 2001 Gamers-sub-com outing.
The ex-Pacific cafe at Citylink was purposely chosen as the place for our gathering, as thats exactly the place where we had many of our FOC 2001 gamers meeting some 5 yrs back. Haunted house, temple tour, telematches, mud crawls etc were all originated from this place, haha. The preparation of this camp started so early that we have almost 10 mths of preparation, which prop explains the close bonds between the 17 (ooopps left abt 10 now) of us. In fact, neither of the 2 MCs i was in were as close.
We recalled and reflected, that all of us have indeed grown up a lot. We were only poor students then with limited spending power. Our topics were all revolving around sch, lectures, bs and anything abt the campus. Now, we talk abt our jobs, income, credit cards, views on marriage etc. For a moment, i thot its a very nice feeling to see ourselves 'growing up'.

Chunkit asked me if i find my job stressful. My immediate answer was NO. In fact, i dun really know how i feel abt my job, but its definitely very tough and demanding, which makes me feel helpless most of the time. One of my snrs have advised me to use 'value-add' as the pillar to support myself in this job. That really makes me feel better. I feel myself getting stretched, unlike my prev job.
A Principle Engineer was telling me today that he has been waking up at 2am every night, reason being very stressed with his job. I was really taken by surprise, as i wud never expect him to feel so stressful abt his job. Being in this job for more than 10yrs, i thot he has become a very lao jiao and knows how to handle his job very swiftly and easily. But i am wrong.
I recalled what Jaisey told us last nite at the gathering was so right. ' NO point taking a job which is easy and boring'. She has always been such a confident and positive lady that carries herself superbly well. At our age, we shld really embrace challenges......
