The New Dawn



So, I was eliminated in the hunger games.
And these are the things that I am going to miss from the Capitol:

1. The travel: one hour journey where I could sleep  or do reiki or do people watching if I could not sleep. All MRT seats rivals-the uncles and aunties that I have grown to recognise throughout the years, for giving me good rivalry on the empty seats, you have made a pro, and I thank you for that. Most of all, for taking train towards the opposite direction allowed me to get seats. Going to miss that.
2. Picking up the 2 free newspaper from the stations.
3. Reading the newspaper while waiting for the train to come
4. Good running session when I ran after company bus, in heels, in flats. I am that good!
5. Looking up for familiar faces while waiting for the bus, will miss looking for Janet, Angeline, Theresa, Sandeep, and others for a nice chat along bus ride
6. Reading yahoo news followed by kompas and detik to start my day
7. Sending out reports and praying so hard that I did not make any mistakes in any of my reports
8. All the doodles, daydreams during the meeting, pinching every part of my body to keep myself awake during afternoon meeting.
9. Thinking about lunches at the start of the day, who to have lunch with, what to eat
10. Coordinating lunches for special occassion
11. Taman Jurong Fish Soup and super spicy sambal, the best ice lemon tea - according to JM (all round quality, the colour, sweetness, bitterness, sourness), roast pork, roast duck, char siew rice.
12. The Korean restaurant in Jurong Point, the bimbimbap, saba fish, kimchi jjigae.
13. Jurong Sapo Rice
14. Taman Teban Fish Soup, but now with Kris also being eliminated, not sure who could bring the people there.
15. NTU canteen
16. Our office canteen, despite the ever boring food. 
17. Celebrating festive seasons together: Christmas, Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn
18. Mooncakes blind testing
19. Gossip - hot, juicy gossips! Who was dating who, who had affair with who, who got undeserved promotion, who was going, who was joining, who moved back, who replaced who.
20. Looooong lunches in the month of December.
21. All the messaging in the office. Will miss messages from Janet, Alison, Jasmine, Katherine. 
22. Jess calling me to take the bus to go home
