heh. the SLP office people are quite nice :)
and even though waking up at 6.30am is not exactly something which i really enjoy doing,I enjoy the morning wind, and the cup of warm soyabean in the morning.
was early for work, so decided to wander around a little first.. was still early after wandering, so decided to go in early. hahaa. few people in the office. mani wasn't in yet either. saw helen in the office and i commented that she is early.. with which her reply was that she used to see her first client at 8am in the morning, and that it's not early anymore :) haha. my reply was that i'm still adjusting.
i think being in the slp office gives a very different perspective to people. as in.. to the graduate students, helen and anna are their lecturers.. but to me, they're my colleagues. conversation topics revolve around getting school, interesting things in singapore, how to use certain things on the computer... most of the time they'll talk about the getting to school and interesting things to do in singapore, while i listen. but it's cosy.. 'cos it's usually just the three of us in the office, and they involve me in their conversation whenever they talk. so i do enjoy it. though data entry is not exactly my favourite thing to do, the ease at which i can use excel helped get things done really fast. lol
mani has been nice too, helping me along the way, being available whenever i have questions and all :) i've got my term pass today! hahaha. haven't had access to the library and comp centre (and wherever a pass is needed) since i lost my matric card around 2 years ago. it feels good to tap and be welcomed into a place :) mani also asked me if i wanna have lunch with her today.. but i couldn't. heh.
helen was quite funny. i think she was worried that i'll be like amu (another girl who worked there before me..), working too hard and not resting.. so she was like trying to convince me that breaks are important, that it's okay to take a break and eat some cookies and drink tea and whatnots. haha. and they kept thanking me for the things i do :\ i feel appreciated, of course. but i also feel a bit weird being thanked for everything i do.
anyway, it's not that i don't rest. it's that when i have a task at hand and i have a deadline, i plan the time in my head and aim to complete them by then. lol. and when i start to focus for some time, God has created me to be able to focus for a long time (as long as i know what i'm doing). and i don't feel tired. and my productivity doesn't go down. hahaha. of course, again, i can't sustain that for more than 3 hrs at a go. and lunchtime at 1pm comes at the right time for the end of the focusing period, and presents itself aptly as a time to stop and rest.
but seriously speaking, i can't imagine pple doing admin for a living. i'll die. lol

i've got a sorethroat. not one of those that occurs when u strain ur voice/use your voice for too long. it's one of those that occurs 'cos of a viral or bacterial infection. i seldom have one actually, so i really do not welcome one when i really do have it.
thank God for dequadin:)
