David's Wedding

Yesterday was David's big day and the usual gang of Fornax turned up with 5/6 strength (poor mich has a throat infection) at Grand Copthrone Waterfront. We have always expected him to be the first one to get married and it was really great to see him finally wed his gf of 9(or even longer?) years. Can see that he's really happy as we saw him jumping here and there hee. To David, congrats once again!

The banquet was really huge with 53 tables and it's like one table is situated so closely to each other that you can simply turn around and talk to another person. It was great to see our gang catching up with each other (even though we just met up one month ago? hee) and also saw Nekki mingling happily with his Maris Stella friends cos the groom is also his secondary school classmate. Was also surprised to find that it's a very small world as one of Nekki's friends is also my NUS friend. Our mutual friend, Justin, was even his primary school friend somemore! Also met another VPC friend Audrey, who is his NUS classmate. So, overall the wedding dinner was one of the very enjoyable ones that I have been to.

Hmm..so who will be the next one in Fornax to wed? *grin*

Start of a new beginning

After months of deliberating..have finally made up my mind to do it, even though deep down I'm really fearful of the unknown future. However, I knew that I will regret it if I don't grab the opportunity now. Who knows maybe the job market may be poor next year? By the time I want to change, it will be really tough. Even though I knew that my bosses have treated and valued me well and highly respectively, I still make up my mind to pursue my personal interest.

At the same time, I feel a mix of sadness and happiness. Sadness at having to leave a nice environment of colleagues and bosses, yet happiness at going to a place where I can finally do something that I have always been interested in. My sup has even offered to make a last ditch attempt to change my jobscope in order to retain me. Sadly, I have to turn down her offer as I long knew that the data that I wanted to see will never be able to materalize here for as long as I stayed.

I can only cross my fingers now hoping that my decision will be correct. *crossed fingers*
