I believe?
You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Have to pay!
S***! I knew it was too good to be true! Fotopages is going to start charging for its services and free accounts will no longer enjoy the unlimited storage space we are using now. Boohoohoo , I have to start searching for another similiar service soon. How the hell am I going to migrate all the pictures I linked previously?!

Morning breeze
The general plan for this 1.5 months:
a) Wake up at the normal time 7am and chit chat with YY (we use webcam and internet telephony) until 8am when he leaves for work.
b) Go downstairs and jog for an hour.
c) Shower, rest and have brunch.
d) Go for my leftover slimming sessions (not very effective), facials, free massages that can only be utilised during work hours etc.
I just got back from Step b). Amazingly, despite having stayed in this estate for nearly 15 years, I discovered a part of it I never knew about. There is a jogging/ cycling track, which I can start at from below my block, circling the outskirts of the estate covering about 3-4km (I'm guessing, since they stopped the indicators at 1.5km).
The sides of the track are lined with colorful flowers and trees which provide plenty of shade. Exercise stations sprout up every other while. I chosed to go jogging during 8am because it's still relatively cool (as cool as it can possibly get in our climate!) and slight breeze kiss my face occasionally.
Although I attempted to jog, I was out of breadth even before 5 min! It's 10 times more difficult to run outside than it is in the gym. I ended up walking most of the 5km (to the end and back) and compensated by climbing up 17 floors of stairs to my house.
One thing I noticed, dog poo! I wish those dog owners would be more considerate and pick up after their own dogs. Yucks! Otherwise, it's a very pleasant way to start the day. I might even stick to the plan afterall.
P.S: I have a craving for MacDonald's pancakes after reading Nic-aholic's blog. Contemplating whether to indulge now......

Sense of loss
Yesterday was my last day. I will start my job (in Co.B) in May and it's in a ulu area which is relatively near my home. (Co.A couldn't match my expected salary.)
As I walked along the revamped Raffles Place Exchange tunnel to the MRT station, I felt a sense of loss. I've been working in this area ever since I graduated. It was a vibrant place, teeming with people all dressed to impress. Lunchtime is full of possibilities. I can eat at the hawker centres, food courts, small cafes or restaurants. If I don't feel like eating, I can shop in the area or hop onto the train to Orchard Rd. Errands can easily be settled as there is such a wide range of shops and services within a stone's throw, from banks, stationery stores, CD shops etc. I can meet my friends in town after work for dinner.
No more of these in the new place.
It also hit me when I woke up this morning at 7am. I will never sit at my cubicle in our nice, big and posh office again, chit chatting with Su whom I face. My work station looked bare after I was done stripping it of my postcards and packing my belongings yesterday.
Yes, there are many 'push factors' for me to leave this company. That's not to say I won't miss working here. Afterall, I've been here for 2.5 years.
However, no point in dwelling on these things anymore. The new company can offer me higher pay and more in terms of training and development. There will be plenty of travelling opportunities. So, I'm moving on.....
