Friday morning. And I'm not at work. Still not used to being free with nothing urgent to tend to for a change. Yes, I've school work but they aren't urgent. Last day of work passed like a whirlwind. Had a sorethroat and didn't get to eat what I liked for lunch. Then rushed off on the dot for a make-up night lecture and started feeling terribly ill during class. My head felt like there was a hammer constantly pounding on it, throat was dry and painful and body started shivering. Had to chug 3 sets of thick lecture notes home and almost fainted on the public bus. Luckily, brother met me downstairs to help me carry my load home. Popped pills and that was it for Wednesday.

Come to think of it, tts been a great learning experience working at BCA. I've come to understand how government stagboards work and know more about the construction industry in Singapore. People have this perception that contractors must be a rough, un-ruly unreasonable bunch. But they aren't, at least not the majority of them. In fact, most I've met and interacted with are quite amiable, polite, nice and understanding. Even when they do not get what they want in the end. Some of them are very appreciative and it feels good when they thank you profusely over the phone or even drop you an e-mail to express their gratitude. It was these little things that kept us going on each day.

Not forgetting the generous bosses, who brought us to lunch and dinner treats. I can't even count the number of times we've received treats from them. So thank you bosses, if you're reading this!

Alright, its noon. Tummy's rumbling but I can't eat what I want. Great.
