No Tofu Please

I like my training batch a lot. There's lotsa of fun people in our group, and we certainly get along very well as a whole. The trainers consider our batch as one of the quietest, and I can only imagine how rowdy the previous batches are, cos we are definitely not quiet!

Training is fun and I enjoy it. Some topics are dry, but the trainers are mostly very charismatic and entertaining. Of cos, the exams, internal/external certifications are stressing everyone out but we sure play hard.

We had a half day session today - morning session by trainer and afternoon self-study in prep for exams. The morning session finished just after 11am, and we had a long lunch.

So we split into a few groups, and my group went TCC for lunch. Sidetrack a bit, lunch is getting really expensive even before we are starting to earn $$... we had Crystal Jade yesterday and TCC today... and we already have plans for next week. And I heard another group went some expensive Jap restuarant...

Over lunch, I made an interesting discovery. There's someone else other than me who doesn't eat tofu as well! It turned out to be my twin brother aka the guy who is born on the same day as me which had everyone laughing about how similar we are. Scary! How many people actually don't take tofu? Not many right, but I'm one of them! And my twin is another one!

After lunch, we went back for our self study but it turned out to be a session of laughs. Someone (not me) started the ball rolling by asking everyone their star signs and then proceeded to label them with the various characteristics of each star sign. We started to joke about the good and bad personality traits of each star sign.

Things went a little crazy and somehow we managed to get our little Superstar to perform a few numbers for us. Yes, we have one of the Project Superstar contestants in our midst. He was extremely sporting and we all applauded his courage for standing up in front of the class and sing for us. And I think he sings really well too.

Then the group conversation transcended to an exchange of lame jokes. Many of us contributed. Which had everyone laughing hysterically... so much so that one of the trainers actually came in and asked us to mind our volume.

The distraction nearly derailed me from concentrating on my second paper this afternoon, but I'm glad I cleared it, so that's one more down and a few more to go! I consider myself quite lucky, I don't have to take that many papers like some of my other training mates.

My boss told me the other day, once I clear my papers, can go back to HQ and look at how they operate... But I don't mind staying with my training mates a little longer before I go into warzone!
