This is my 400th post wow! haha! My little space here has indeed come a long way..
Todae was quite eventful..went to CPIB (Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau) with Bit Bit as part of some PS learning trip..and yeah, i certainly learnt a lot and enjoyed it..heh heh, we even went into those little room where one side of the wall is only visible from the other side, the kind of room where witnesses identify criminal suspects from a shortlist of candidates..got a much better overall picture of how corruption in both the private and public sector is dealt with in Singapore.. CPIB is really 1 powerful agency with quite a lot of authority to carry out investigation, arrests etc, if u are suspected of corruption.
Oh well, but like what they say in the army, do anything but dun get caught. If u get caught, u live with the consequences, and i must say, the consequence of being charged for corruption in Singapore is really heavy.
Went to have steamboat dinner with my 26th odac batch at marina south at night..haha, had a great time..somehow i always feel a lot more ease talking to them. Maybe its coz we ve known each other for 7 years, maybe itz coz we are all of the same age, which makes it easier for us to connect, maybe itz coz we were all from the same college and cca together back then..and maybe itz coz the whole batch of us are all quite driven. I m really glad to see everybody doing well, esp the girls who have graduated and working liao..
I guess its also good in a way that we are all in very different fields..which means that we get to share a lot of different experiences, stories, lobangs, and ideas with one another. Teacher, doctors (5 of us! haha), architect, engineers, bankers, researchers, businessman etc..
And everytime we meet up, we realize that time flies and that we are really getting older le. Qiu qiu, for eg, has been with Renjie for 5 years le haha wah, when it seems like they were only together yesterdae..
Its hard to explain, but i just feel really comfortable seeing this special group of friends, and feeling so happy catching up with them such that when i came back home, all the worries of fatigue, essays, assignments, presentations just vaporized..and i strangely felt more energized.
Such is the power of friendships. =)
