New year, new hopes, new plans?

It is less than a month from Chinese New Year. 2013 has arrived just not long ago, many people would have planned on what to do in the coming months. For me, whether I continue to stay in SPH or not is a decision I need to make. I just heard that my colleague is not retiring too soon and therefore probably won't have a perm vacancy for anytime soon. Looks like I will be leaving SPH late this year if I want to have a job with a salary around 2k. Right now, my salary or rather allowance ranges between 850 - 1050 bucks a month after CPF. Pathetic isn't it? So most people will choose to leave. Hmmm Will I leave? I will need to find a suitable job first though.

The christmas gathering held in my poly friends not long ago is not bad. There is a potluck session which saw many types of food appearing on the table ranging from shepherd's pie, roasted chicken pieces, tuna & egg sandwiches, bee hoon to desserts like chilled soya beancurd(brought by me) and Udders durian ice cream. While the board n card games are decent, I found the monopoly deal card game quite special as it is hong kong version. Ok in between potluck and games, we watched the last episode of Ch8 drama serial It Takes Two. Soon the gathering ended at around 12am. A poly friend drove me to the nearby bus stop and I took bus 17 home. Well, It is a special day and the next gathering will probably be around Chinese New Year. Meanwhile, time to do some spring cleaning. =)
