A Slacker's Entries

My last month in halls...

Living in Halls had been fun....with all the night events, dinner dates with hall mates, movie marathon during the hols. Hahas..even though i admit i am more of the stuck-in-the-room nerdy. Not that i am studying in my room...wahahas..its more of watching videos on my lappy.

I wanted to enjoy the very few moments in halls but was disrupted by the horror of exam and the 'kind' visit from the ants. Its not tt i didn't keep my room clean k....the ants were attracted to my books!!!! The sight of the horrible ants just make my hair stand. Anyway they made me a sinner by killing tons of them and I had to spray lots of insect repellent on my books. Never knew that ants were so studious.

Hopefully i get to stay in halls next year so tt i can sleep more :) :)

Anyways looking forward to the end of my exam which is on the 24th Apr :) cos i am going to china :) Hahas...i am an old person who likes to see scenery. Till then i have to face the horrible Finance, the tedious accounting and the alien IT.

Miss the princesses as i was eating yogurt ice cream in sch. I ordered my fav combi which is black grape and oreo cookie. The feeling is no longer the same as i ate the same thing. There is no sense of happiness or excitment.

See ya guys soon after exams :)

Sem 2 started...

Back in poly, i used to be happy that sch had started. Being with friends, sleeping in lectures, eating my fav prawn noodles and rushing projects throughout the night. I never realise that such things might never happen again.

The start of sem 2 in uni seems to be a duty to me. Before lesson even begin, everthing that is suppose to be done in that sem are all laid out in front of you. There is totally no time for you to catch your breathe.

Like watching a movie, i see myself attending lecture, rushing tutorials, backlogging lots of self study,doing projects, calling sponsers, laughing with my frens over the silliest stuff and rushing home on every fri.

To me, i seem to stand outside that world looking at myself doing all these stuff. Yet at night when i laid on my bed, i realised i had no feelings towards my life. Nothingness just poured in.
There is no sadness, happiness, lonliness when i'm realli alone. It just suddenly felt that i dun need anything.

Random Random Random Stuffs

2008-01-07T22:41:00.000+08:00

Warning: This is gonna be a super long blog. If you are in a hurry, pls scroll down to the bottom of the post for the most important details.

The lazy me haven't blogged like for a super long time even though i was rotting at home. I'm guilty of the following:

Didn't wrap up year 2007 even though lots of things have happened and changed.

From poly to university had been a super tough one for me. Things just kept pouring in and you are always wondering what are you doing while people around you seems to be working like busy ants. The last year in Poly although had been a super stress one, especially with mmit competition and ISP which i didn't sleep for days, but the stress was manageable because of all the buddies i had. The stress in uni is on a different level.

And to wrap up my year 2007 was my disappointing grades.

Suppose to suntan with my wife and also ms wu

Due to unforeseen circumstances, i'm stuck at home. Sorry promise to make up to you guys.

Suppose to have a gals outing with the joan, jiahui,xiaoyan and xinhui
Suppose to shop with ms wu and mummy
Suppose to buy ice cream for my cousin
Suppose to be exercising and aim for a slimmer build

Okies...shall stop listing. It will just add on to my sins.........

Year 2008

Went back to hall on sun, packed and cleaned my room. Thanks to jas, wendy and joella, i managed to clean and changed my bedsheets quickly. Oh yars...many thanks to jas and wendy who brought over the vacuum cleaner and had to be stuck in the stairways.

Anyway there is a jay chou craze among my hall frens now and i'm a little infected as well. Hahas..we were singing his songs last night and playing crazy taxi on my fren's PSP. Okies..i honestly cannot drive. I've got the rank of "NO LICENSE" or alternatively out of ranking.

All the fun and now work comes running along. The first day of sch and the very first lesson had to be a 3 hrs financial management seminar. Gosh i nearly died. Finance is really like one of my most hated modules. Anyway the lecturer had a monotonous voice and the only good thing was that he bother to explain concepts that we dun understand.

Business law was quite okie cos the first lecture was on stuffs that i've learnt before. Hmmm...but its only the beginning so i'm just praying it dun get any tougher.

I'm getting sick of my own blogging already. Before i put the final full stop, i need to do some advertising for myself:

ATTENTION!!!!

SELLING CHINESE NEW YEAR GOODIES. PLEASE SUPPORT!!! MANY THANKS AND LOVES

Egg roll ($8) - If i'm not wrong, it is packed in a tin and its the thick type of egg rolls not those thin ones that we normally would buy
Peanut cookies ($10) - Its the traditional round ones with a small peanut on the top.
Pineapple tarts ($10)
Kueh Bangkit ($10)- This is the one that is white in colour and usually melts in ur mouth. I personally sampled this. Its not that sweet and its super fragrant.

pls contact me before 14th jan if you guys are interested :) Thank you :)

PIggy Leg

2007-12-14T11:39:00.000+08:00

Sprained my right ankle yestereday during the netball match. Haix....now hopping around the house with my piggy leg.

Thanks to all who accompanied me to the docs and escorted me back home. Hahas....it was a real embarrassment yesterday.

For now i'm stuck at home with my dino lappy, television and two little maids :(

Call me an idiot

2007-11-17T16:53:00.000+08:00

I literally threw my "A" out of the window for my paper yesterday.

For the first time i've gt the urge to jump of the building right after the paper.

Wanted to cry but only had a thin line of tears brimming my eyes.

Damn...its so hard.

I think no one else in the world would make mistake on the timing of the paper. I knew it was a 2 hrs paper that would end at 11am. However, my cranky brain thought it was 12pm half way through the paper. What the hell.

So the paper is gone just like that.

I'm so dead for this semster as i placed al hopes on this management paper. Haiz

Hate Rainy nights

2007-10-23T00:18:00.000+08:00

Its a rainy night....makes me EMo...makes me miss home...makes me wonder what is my limits..makes me suspect how strong i am. Hate this feeling, hate the coldness that the rain brought about.

Haiz..its bad to Emo just before my final semster presentation which is due tml.

Sometimes i just wish .........................

The actors and actresses of life- Human beings

2007-10-12T02:32:00.000+08:00

Lessons learnt this week :

Its hard to differentiate a sheep from a wolf.
Always depend and take care of yourself

Didn't know why but all the sad stories kept finding its way to me. Hahas..perharps i'm a good counselor :P Should consider it to be my part time job :P

Ms Wu's Birthday

2007-09-10T17:15:00.000+08:00

I was suppose to study for my sound test on wed but my mind kept straying to my computer and here i am blogging :)

For the first time in a very long time besides Grad Ball, we finally had the whole gang turned up on Saturday. Birthday gal was craving for Frankeinstein Mudpie and we ended up at Changing Appetite aka lychee place (previously). Hahas...now i think its changing to mudpie place :) Anyway Ms wu was disappointed as Frankeinstein Mudpie was SOLD OUT!!!! Ow..tt was sad :( I had monster treat- very fruity and sweet :) The slow me again forgt to take pictures of the two pretty mudpie and the pretty bdae gal.

Okie...enough of blabbering and here are the pictures :

Tada

The Gals with Citibank ad

( The photographer wanted to bring out the cosy and homely feeling)

The Army Guys with the Exception of One

Outside Waraku

(we should have picked a

brighter background as the guys are simply too tanned)

The triangle formation (Cheese!)

The picture of the Day :

You have the freedom to interpret it in anyway :)

Happy Birthday to Ms Wu and May all your Wishes Come True.

Some days are sunny while others are rainy. No matter what happen just bear in mind that a smile and a laugh can do wonders.

Birthday

2007-09-05T22:31:00.000+08:00

Offically hit 20!!! on 25th Aug. Hahas...sorry for the lagness in updating my blog. I wasn't really looking forward to it. Besides that big 20 mark, all the stress in sch had dampened my mood for a celebration. However i was glad to spend my birthday with the princesses and escort clinque. Thanks for making this day a precious and happy memory for me. Thanks for the wonderful ice cream that realy cheered me up and the pressies. The Zara cardigan is really my love and the sandals gave me an excuse to be sloppy on sch :P

Thanks to penguin for the keychain. It gt my fav strawberry and green color in it :) Its been a long time since i've seen the bouncy you. Be a more lively penguin k?

Thanks to my wife for the turtle which made me sleep so well that i almost didn't wake up at the boon lay interchange. Hahas..thanks to the uncle who woke me up.

Virgo

2007-08-24T00:44:00.000+08:00

A friend send a mail regarding horoscopes. And this is mine :

A woman who walks with confident and proud. You will see Virgo woman walks fast. She will try her best to be perfect, to look perfect and to feel perfect even though there is no such perfection. She is very delicate of what and how she dress. She is bright and easily despair with obstacles.

It goes on and on....

On the contrast, the word confidence is no longer in my dictionary. The search for perfect is no longer an existence in my world.

I feel so choked and stuffed.

Its only the beginning but its so hard......so hard tt i want to give up altogether.

Fencing :)

2007-08-16T22:30:00.000+08:00

Equation for fencing:

Tiring + Funny + Challenging + Interesting

My legs are gg to ache like hell tml. Must rmb to bring yoko yoko back to hall :)

MudPIe :)

2007-08-16T01:06:00.000+08:00

Finally met up with Ms Wu :) Its been a long time since i've relaxed and talked about stuffs that is not discussed in school. Nothing beats better than meeting up with OLD pals :)

Had KFC and they gave me 2 chicken drumsticks :) YUmmy!!! Dear ms wu, pls stop mentioning abt the subway in your sch. Its been ages since i had one :( I'm stuck with Macs. Then we had FRANKENSTEIN MUDPIE!!!! Changing Appetite!!! It was big and superb. I like the mint and the biscuit at the bottom. Hahas...it was a shame that i didn't manage to finish it:( My goal next time is to finish the whole thing.

The lazy me decided to take a taxi back to sch. Haix...wed seems like weekends. The taxi stands at marina square and esplanade are jammed with ppl. Singaporeans are rich, i think. Anyway the queue was long and there was no signs of taxi!!!! We decided to call for a cab and we got stuck in a jam and with a talkative driver. Hahas..i know jy nearly wanted to "silence" him.

Its a nice day todae. Dear princesses we must meet up one day :) Miss all of ya.

What is Beautiful?

2007-08-11T17:42:00.000+08:00

Zatan National Day outing:

Overslept and reached Sentosa only at ard 12pm. The queue for monorail is crazy and there i saw my phobia- a bunch of indian nationals. Not tt i'm discriminated agaisnt them. However the previous experience with miss wu was quite enough. Played ball games- i'm an idiot at soccer seriously, and gt washing machined in the sea.

Rushed down to esplanade and there was a mad chaos of ppl.Anyway for once i'm glad tt i'm tall . Thanks to our GL we gt a gd spot at the restaurant to view the beautiful and short lived fireworks. Thanks to peiwen who saved our food frm the fireworks' ashes.

Sorries to my hallmates. Haha..i also want to go for nightwalk but i can't split myself into two.

My life seems to move like a bullet train. Everyday is almost packed with activities. Its been a long time since i've seen the princesses n my laopo. Guess life is very different for everyone now.

Selfish seems to be my nature. Sometimes i can only see my own life, feel my own feeling and care abt myself. Sorry for the coldness. It has to end somehow and i just don't know how to do it well. It me again, always it is my fault, always its me who mishandle things.

Selfish me is what i can say now....

The Story of an abnormal tall gal

2007-08-08T19:26:00.000+08:00

Tall gal went for hall camp from 31st July to 4th Aug. Met great pals that made her felt less lonely living in halls. Met weirdo whom she tried hard to avoid but ended up partnering with him during frightnight and managed to survive barely.

Tall gal gt a Japanese roomie who was the exact opposite of her. Her friend said tt they must have paired a giant and dwarf together. Its quite a comical scene. Tall gal was sad tt she couldn't be roomie with her OG pal.

Sch started and everything was in chaos. Tall gal learnt what is uni life about- Fun, Stress, Independence and Socialising. One lecture covered here is equal to 4 lectures covered in poly. Feeling a little dizzy and overwhelmed. Guess tall gal will have to bite through these 3 yrs.

She was the tallest in class irregardless of the gender. The class was okie and tall gal met some tall friends :) PS : they are all gals by the way.

Tall gal was having bad luck and ended up taking Sound as a science elective. It was all physics and physics. She thought she would die in lecture while listening to the lecturer talking about some foreign stuffs. Luckily she had to tutors beside her to enlighten her confuse and stupid brain. She is currently considering whether to drop the elective.

Current status: Study life ( Still going on fine, i hope) , CCA ( Nothing on the list yet)
Wish : Survive uni life and let me stay in hall 16 :)

UOC Rox

2007-07-29T13:19:00.000+08:00

Hi everybody!!! I'm back frm UOC. The camp was fun although there is some miscommunication and delays. The main thing was the bonding and the friends made. It was quite hard to blend in as there are lots of JCs ppl and they had connection almost everywhere. Thus its quite hard to find a common topic.Found my rommie and she 's a pretty gal frm RJC.

The camp itself was packed with programmes. Went clubbing on the second day n the freshies frm the other group gt dead drunk. The gals have to be carried up the bus. It was an unsightly sight. Our group gt super high on the dancing floor. Hahas...my back hurts frm all the dancing.

We had a secret pal n i was lucky in the sense tt mine was a gentleman. Some of my friends gt guys tt are petty and ungentlemanly. Later on we had fright night. OMG!!! Can u imagine?? 2 gals fainted and had to be carried out. Lots of crying and screaming gg ardand gals who are terrified till u can see the emptiness in their eyes. Seriously i was freaked out too. It was really on a diff level as compared to Poly's night walk.

Sentosa was fun but it started to rain n tt spoil the day by a little. We had Ben n Jerry's !!!! All thnx to our seniors :)

Last two days we were at Changi Village having chalet. We gt into the finals for the cheer fight and tt was quite an achievement for our group as we are usually the more quiet ones. Lost my voice frm all the shouting n BBQ food.

The seniors was super nice. They serve us food, fed us pi pa gao, make sure we had enough beds, made honey water n breakfast and helped us spray insect repellent. My god we were like spoily kids.

Haven't receieved the UOC pics. Will upload it once the pics are sent to me. CHeers !

Smiles

2007-07-08T16:18:00.000+08:00

Moving on with a smile is what i gonna do. Simply because i know i'm strong enough to do so.

Gt Wang Leehom jap version CD !!!! Thanks :) :) :)

Although this came out a few years back but i'm glad tt i'm able to get it. It meant a lot to me n i juz luv the jap version of the songs :)

Its an icy day :)

2007-07-06T00:44:00.000+08:00

Went ice skating todae n i fell on my butt for three times :( Ice skating was fun but its super hard to balance. Probably because i'm bad at balancing. Haha..gonna drag penguin to skate with me one day. I think both of us will fall flat on the ice. My poor fren had to support me all the way. Hahas...he shld be thankful cos i'm helping him to burn calories :P

Watched my wife is a gangster 3. The initial plan was to watch the girl who leapt through time but it was no longer screening. Anyway i'm glad to watch gangster cos its super funny. The movie taught me the power of translation. Shu qi was super cool n pretty, realli like a da jie da. The fighting scene was so so but i give thumbs up for some of the humour scene. For those who wanted to have some laughs, u can give this movie a shot :)

Blessed

2007-07-04T21:08:00.000+08:00

I may not be the richest person on earth but i'm truly blessed. Dear princess clique, my best sister, my dearest lao po, my great buds and my precious family. I think god had certainly gave me lots and lots of things.

Thank you for brightening up my life and bringing me much laughter and joy :)

Sentosa and wild wild wet pics coming soon....pls be patient.

Deadlines.....

2007-06-15T00:39:00.000+08:00

Deadlines...Dealines...and MORE DEADLINES...

I'm disorganised, confuse and simply nt in the right state of mind.

Its nt tt complicating n hard to handle. But i seem to be losing my temper....wonder y?

Shopping Spree

2007-06-11T21:32:00.000+08:00

Reading through my previous entires n realised tt all of them seem so negative. Decided to blog something happy and positive. Anyway planning to change a happier and colourful blog. The current blogskin seems to be too heavy.

Went shopping with princess yi today. Alighted at the wrong bus stop and had to walk a longer way to IKEA. Lunch at IKEA was superb. The apple pie was sweet, the potato salad was heavenly and the chicken wings were heaven. Haha...ate till i was bloated.

Bought tons of things today, seems to be in the shopping mood. These are the items of today :

1. FBT shorts. Haha..princess yi had to settle for the blue one as the black one ran out of sizes. Haha..i had to do the exchange for her lor.

2. Bikini. Haha..had to hide it in my bag in case my mum finds out. Can't imagine if she sees it.

3. Sunglasses :) Haha..bought it at only 15 bucks. Spent an hour there and tried tons of it. My cheekbones are too high and my nose bridge was too low. Conclusion is i can only wear those spectacles type sunglasses. Haiz.. The poor sales gal had to entertain us for an hour. I loved my sunglasses :)

4. Decided to abandon the thought of buying an expensive sports shoe. All thanks to princess yi. Bought a North Star canvas shoe instead. It cost barely 20 bucks and i decided to decorate it with colourful shoe laces. Haha..saved lots of money :)

5. Actually i wanted to get a bag at Toa Payoh. It was a white one n i dun own a white bag. But it cost 20 bucks and judging frm the quality its nt really worth the price. Being the aunty side of me i'm only willing to fork out 15 bucks.

6. Rojak and Bread. The rojak was superb as it has cuttle fish in it !!!! The hot dog bread was superb. Haha..i ate the sausage together with the bread. I'm very guai de unlike someone. My mum loved the coconut bread and said tt she's buying for my grandma.

Had a fun and happy day todae. Thanks for running ard with me :) Thats all folks !

Didn't know why....

2007-06-10T23:06:00.000+08:00

Overwhelming feeling of emptiness.

Didn't know why....

No words seem to be suitable to describe my life now...

Didn't know y but i seems to be standing outside of a glass globe and watching myself from outside.

Didn't know why i'm nt in the mood to do anything....

Didn't know why all these are happening...

No happiness, no sadness, its just nothin.

Voices and Voices..Never ending Voices

2007-06-01T00:33:00.000+08:00

I woke up and my mum will ask me abt the uni thingy. I come back from work and the same qn again. The cycle goes on and on. Todae i finally submitted to the nagginess and pressure and made the ultimate decision. I accepted NTU. Hopefully that it was a wise decision though. I do feel a lot lighter but there is still a tinge of uneasiness. I feel like throwing up- its either due to the nervousness or i ate too much chocolate fudge today.

Recently the topics in my house are :
1. which uni are u gg? U sure u dun want SMU?? Har...NTU? Are you certain??
2. When u want to buy lappy?
3. When are u quiting Gio? U better quit these few days..latest by mid june.

These are all the parents' voices swimming in my head. I know they are concern abt my future but sometimes its just add on to my pressure. At times i really dun feel like studying anymore. But i know its just a reckless idea. Time to throw it into the rubbish bin.

Anyway i solved point 1. I think the rest of the problems will be solved soon. I guess i better start registering and asking abt the hostel. Growing up is realli never easy.

Though i've been rather cold towards my parents during this period, but i still love them as much as before.

Lost in the Forest

2007-05-12T00:22:00.000+08:00

I'm lost in the forest without a compass to show me the way out. I can't seem to break the barrier and look forward to my future. Instead my mind kept reminiscing about the past. I knew it wanted to escape. Sam was right in the way that waiting for SMU reply was just an excuse for me to avoid making a decision. Sometimes i feel so tired tt i ask myself if i have the energy to go on.

Went back to sch today and talked to several lecturers and my mind is still in the whirl. I realised that i lacked the courage to go one step further in my life, to grow up and face the reality. SP seems unfamilar to me- the ppl, the spots tt we usually go and the food tt we usually eat. Everything is just so different.

Came back from dinner with the gals and my mum starts to talk abt uni again. Truthfully i'm sick of this topic as its the most talked about and discussed topic in my family. Everyone was asking me abt my decision and reassuring me tt they would respect it. Haiz..but i dun realli see the point when they made it so clear as to where they want me to go. I rmb saying that i rather be a passenger than a pilot because a direction is set for u. However, when tt really happens, i realised tt it is not really a good thing after all. I'm contridicting and fickle minded.

Putting aside all the serious stuff. Todae was a shoe hunting day for Ms Wu and the three princesses sat at Billy Bombers for 4 hrs!!! Haha...i'm amazed tt we didn't get chased out. My hair now smell of Billy Bombers even though i shampooed it twice.

I wasn't able to upload the pics taken todae as blogger is in the bad mood :(

Craves - I'm a greedy person

2007-05-07T20:11:00.000+08:00

Craves.....

1. ROTI PRATA WITH EGG !!!!!!
Ever since i started working at Gio, roti prata has been missing in my life. Haha..wanted to eat it for supper but i decided to drop the idea after calculating the amt of calories and fats that i'm risking. I swear that i will eat it by THIS WEEK!!!!

2. SPIDEY 3 !!!!
Heard from my friend tt its superb.However the movie is 2 1/2 hrs long. I think my butt will hurt from the long hours of sitting.

3. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA- AT THE WORLD'S END !!!!
Besides Harry Potter, this is the most awaited movie tt i'm looking forward to. I just love Jack Sparrow. His humour and quirky actions never fail to make me laugh. It will be screened on May 27 (i think). Haha i most quickly drag ppl to watch it with me :)

4. A SUPER COLD AIRCON AT MY STORE
The weather has been very bad these few days and the worse thing is tt the aircon at my store is not cold at all. It not only made me lethargic but it made my head hurts. Everyday at the store is like a sauna. The bright side of it- i may lose some weight from all the sweating.

Life is a drama

2007-05-03T22:32:00.000+08:00

I'm becoming a more qualified actress as days go by. Everyday i report to work and smile at people who irritate me. I have to put on a super fake nice tone when speaking to customers and act friendly to people whom i've barely know. Although there are really some great buds at my working place but sometimes i feel so fake. Its not that i wanted to lie and keep my true self behind a mask, its just that i couldn't help it. I realised that life isn't that simple and pure anymore. Hope that i can find a way to balance my true self and my fake front. So dear friends, if u find that i'm acting weird, pls do pardon me. I just need some time to take down the mask.

The feeling of emptiness is hard to bear so i've decided to read through some inspirational quotes to motivate me- even if its just a little :) So here are some that strike me the most:

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein
I guess that would make u more satisfied and cherish what u have. Sometimes having less expectation may mean a less stressful lifestyle. But no expectations may cause u to waste your life away.

"In life you are either a passenger or a pilot... it is your choice." I think i'm purely lazy and aimless cos i would choose to be a passenger. The direction and destination are all planned out for u. But the fallback is that others are controlling your life. Sometimes i wonder what is worse- You controlling a life that u have utterly no direction for or others planning out a route that u may not like it.

Survival

2007-04-26T23:51:00.000+08:00

Survived from a series of horrifying lightning and deafening lightning yesterday. I applauded myself for the courage to walk across the scary bridge with the threatening lightning that struck across the sky. All thanks to Ms Wu, all else i would be stuck at the other side of the river. The thing that i learnt abt myself yesterday is that i'm the typical Singaporean- Kiasi.

Worked half morning today and business was surprisingly good. Hahas..made quite a number of sales and committed quite a number of mistakes. Went to orchard with penguin and managed to get the magazine that i've wanted. Poor penguin, the magazine tt she wanted was sold out and thus she turned her disappointment into crave for meaty food. Got a mango top with 30% discount ( It made me look super slim!!! hahaha.. Shall show to the dear princesses during our nxt outing :p). Anyway missed sam and ah huat at town todae. Hahas, all of us are at Taka and we didn't manage to meet. Okie..i admit its my fault cos i was busy thinking abt buying doughnuts and 4gt tt Ah huat was working there.

Morning shift again tml though its not a bad thing. Hope that i can manage to rush down to town in time to meet you guys. Its been a long time since i've seen everyone. Missed my poly days again as the students poured into the mrt at dover station. Everyone seems to have a direction and an aim. It made me feel lost and directionless again. Haix....

Nothing last forever

2007-04-16T00:41:00.000+08:00

Just returned home from work and another full shift tml. I'm shagged and my eyes can hardly open. Shall blog abt my korea trip nxt time.

It seems that a lot of things happen during my one week in Korea. Its hard to absorb and accept within less than 2 days.

There had been a disastrous change in staff at my work place. All of my best buds had been transferred. Haha...kinda nt used to the absence of their lame jokes, singing , chatting and the list goes on. Work has been fun and a breeze for me because of them. Missed u guys so much.With a reshuffle of staff, leaving me behind, i guess the only thing i have to is to adapt to the new environment.

Life had been very different after graduation. Its no longer abt projects, grades, waking up for lessons and doing tutorials. Life seems to be unsheltered now. Meeting sales target, enduring irritating customers, calculating how much i can spent each mth, etc. I feel so old and the world seems so cold. I have to be contended cos my life has not be as hard as compared to others. I guess being easily satisfied is also an advantage.

Went out with the gals yesterday and had a long heart to heart talk at our lychee place. I realised that i really missed u gals :) So sorry that i can't join u guys for the cycling outing cos i'm working afternoon shift tt day. Haha...dun worry i will irritate u guys with smses.

Yawns.....Nitez....

First day at Giodarno

Yupz...Today is the day i officially start work at Giordano. Guess where i'm posted to......Yar...i was stationed at Clementi. I was shocked initially but realised that it was actually a good news. It was basically in the neighbourhood so the human flow is not as heavy as the town area. This gives me more time to learn the ropes there. The ppl there were very nice and i think i was the quietest.

Anyway the highlight of today was not about the customers that walked into the shop but it was a super super duper embarrassing committed by a sotong. The story goes like that......

Sotong was walking towards Clementi, trying to find Giordano. However, as there were some renovations going on, some of the roads were blocked. Sotong was super glad that to see a big Giordano banner and she walked towards that direction. Sotong then went into the shop and happily introduced herself as the new staff. The girl at the counter looked at her with a super confuse expression. She then went in and called a guy out. Sotong repeated the same thing to the guy and the guy asked her:

Guy: " This is Bossini, are you reporting at Giordano?"
Sotong :" Oh My God!!! This is not Giordano???? ( Sotong glanced at the guy's name tag and saw the bossini logo.)
Guy: Giordano is just next door.

Haiz...this is indeed the most embarrassing thing tt could happen. To make matters worse the staff at Giordano and Bossini are on super good terms. Thus the news spread like wild fire. I bet by Mon the main office would get the wind of it.

Training

2007-03-13T22:02:00.000+08:00

Went for Giodarno training today. It was boring and fun at the same time. The boring part was the presentation on the organisation. Haiz...this is worse than lecture cos i couldn't sleep while the trainer was talking. I dun want to be sack on the first day :P The funny part was that the other trainer was super good at cracking cold jokes that i laughed my head off.

I guess my closet will have an additional collection of Giodarno clothes cos they are giving to me free as their uniform. Anyway i wasn't too happy about it. See from the conversation below:

Trainer :" Hmmm...i think our ladies jeans don't have your size. It might be too short."
Me:" I think its okie..I can try to wear 3/4 jeans."
Trainer: " I think its still okie, you can try the guys jeans."

In my heart and brain, only these words appeared : " OMG!!!!! OMG!!!! ITS SUPER UGLY!!!!"

I mean how can a gal wear a guy's jeans. The cutting all don't fit!!!! Haiz...i think i rather wear a shorter jeans than wearing a guy's. Giodarno should seriously spare a thought for tall people. Haiz...fight for the right of tall ppl.

Anyway, I've been eating like a pig lately cos i figured that i will be starved for the next few days while I'm down at the store. Haha...thus i shall store up now.

Got to wake u[ at 6 plus tml again. Haiz...Nitez

To the princesses who are struggling with their work, rmb these words : Persevere for the sake of money. JIA YOU!

Stocks

2007-03-07T21:23:00.000+08:00

Following the recent decrease in stock price, HM stock was affected and the price had been dropping these three years. A word of caution for the investors: please do not invest anymore in HM stock and reinvest in other stocks.

I'm going to Korea!!!!

2007-03-04T21:27:00.000+08:00

Finally and its like finally... I'm going to Korea. Yea! Waited for this trip for years and i really hope that i am able to see the cherry blossoms. Wondering if i will get fine if i pluck some back. But then again, i think it will rot by then. Anyway i believe my skin would get better from this trip cos we are going to the hot spring and spa. My GOd!!!! I feel so pampered.

The thing I'm most curious about is the difference between our kimchi here and theirs. I must eat their kimchi even though i will get gastric. haha..this is call die die also must eat.

Anyway putting aside all the fantasy that i have for this trip, I'm super tired today. Accompanied mum to the tour fair and it was jam packed with people. Worst still, Chan Brothers and SA are so far apart. We were like walking to and fro from the two fairs and had to squeeze through the crowd.

In the end we decided to go with Chan Brothers. Haha...i think is I'm biased against SA. The guy who served us was damn rude. It was as if we owe him a million bucks. He kept pushing us to confirm the date and book the tour without explaining anything. I gt so pissed off that i told my mum that I'm totally not in the mood to travel with SA.

In the end we came out of Chan Brothers with three bagful of free gifts. Can you believe it? I felt like an auntie carrying the ugly yellow platstic bag, full of free gifts and walking down city link that is jammed pack with ppl. Most importantly, no one was carrying the same plastic bag as me! I guess those who carried the Chan Brothers plastic bag took a cab home. The only thing that i was glad was that i chose to wear a cap today. Haha...in case i bump into anyone i knew, the cap is able to hide the auntie side of me from them. My mum tried to frighten me by saying that someone took a photo of me at the fair carrying bagful of free gifts and that it was going to be published in the newspaper!!! I'm going to kill myself if that happens.

Haha...dear jy princess I'll take a pic of the real Shin Goon if i manage to bump into him. And to the rest of the princesses I'll remember to buy kimchi back for u gals :) Lastly to dear penguin...i guess u will prepare a shopping list for me.

Tada...

Accidents

2007-03-03T23:59:00.000+08:00

Accidents do happen....just like these:

Its obvious which accident is more serious.

Anyway i got cheated by Jy again. Her so call Shin Goon guy dun look at him at all, except for his hair. Haha...but he's super thin, tall and boy boy, in short- totally her type.

Going down to the tour fair tml...looking forward to my korean trip :)

Reflections

2007-03-03T00:39:00.000+08:00

I just have the mood to blog two posts today. I should be super tired by now, but i don't feel like sleeping at all. My mind is just full of things that i need to reflect on.

What life in SP had given me is not just knowledge but also emotions. Before coming to SP, there had been no dislike, worries, problems, complexity, regrets, etc in my life. Secondary school had been a wonderland for me and i guess thats probably one of the reason why i'm such an insensitive and inconsiderate person. I've always like things to be kept simple but i realised not everything turns out that way. This resulted in me running away from these situations. This is the reality of life and i had to face it. But i'm not ready yet......not ready yet.

I don't know how much i'll change in the future but whatever is it i just hope that its for the better. Bye bye to wonderland and welcome to reality....

I'm not the kind of person can express what i feel easily. This time round, i've decided to blog and express them to my dearest group of friends...

To the dear princesses:

Sam, thanks for always being patient and understanding. Sorry if i've not been able to do the same for you.
HuiXian,thanks for being there for me. Sorry if i've not been caring enough.
Jiayi, thanks for your honesty. Sorry if i've not been sensitive enough.I've must have caused lots of troubles for you. haha...

Love ya all....

To the escorts of the princesses.... (wahaha)

Qunjie, thanks for making my life more entertaining. Do i owe u any apologies? (haha..i guess i don't)
Jingwei, thanks for crapping with me on MSN. It helps to relieve my stress.. haha..Sorry for wasting your time with all the crapping.
Tobbie, thanks for all the support during all the project periods. Sorry if i've not been able to do so.

To my Shifu....

Thanks for taking me as your disciple. Thanks for chatting with me on MSN, giving me advice and relieving my stress. Sorry that i'm still unable to make any improvements and that you are still stuck with a disciple like me.

To Penguin;

I know that sometimes you are having a rough time but i'm unable to help and comfort you. Sorry for all the calls that i promised to make but always delay. Sorry for not being with you during your darkest period. My best sister - luv ya

I guess i've finished all my apologies. It does make me feel better by leaps and bounds. I'm able to sleep now....Ta-da

Dark Chocolate

2007-03-03T00:10:00.000+08:00

Today feels as if i had a dark chocolate stuck in my throat- super bitter and sweet. I guess this is the taste of life.

I've tasted the bitterness of losing today. It feels as if there are infinite tons of weights pressing on you- its so suffocating. However, the lost today made me realised what i really lacked and gave me lots of motivation to carry on walking the path that i've choosen.

I've to admit that i'm not as strong as appeared or assumed to be. Its just that i want others to feel that way. That's why i often ended up over tiring myself. That's why i lost all motivation to carry on. I guess sometimes i have to shout it out loud " Help! I'm helpless!!!" Haha...guess i've to start practising....Poor penguin....guess u will be my first victim.

The sweetness of dark chocolate:

Our class bagged 2 Champions!!!!! Congrats!!!!

I'm really glad that both of the champions came from our class. The cheers, photo taking and the lunch together are some of the valulable things that i've taken from the competition today.

This is the best ending for our upcoming graduation and it added one last stroke of colour to my life in Singapore Polytechnic.

Outings...

2006-11-25T22:46:00.000+08:00

Trying to focus on my b2b project and the end result is that i ended up falling asleep.

I decided to abandon b2b and blog about the recent outings. I think i'm suppose to blog about what happened on the day i bought my skinny cut jeans but unfortunately the pics are stuck in my hp as SOMEBODY forgot to bring the cable today.

OkAY!!! Here's the recent outings....

21 Nov 2006

.......@ bugis V8 cafe

Our pretty drinks!!!! Can you guess which drink belongs to who??

Here's the answer:

I love my passion fruit drink although its a little too gasy and because of this i got hooked to passion fruit recently. Huixian's drink was very vanilla and i think hers is the most pretty of all. Thanks for the cherry :) Sam's drink was like some lime ice cream although it doesn't look like it. I couldn't comment on Jiayi's cos its too milky for me to try..haha..so too bad.

Later we went to take neoprints and u know what, we spent $20 bucks just to take the pics on all four seasons. Anyway i gave up on posting all the neoprints because blogger kept eating up my pics. Haha..just go to Hx's blog..e neoprints are there.

Anyway it was super fun that day and i finally get to eat something nice after eating plain porridge and mee sua for three days.

25 Nov 2006

.....@ Vivo City

Went to Vivo with Jy today. She was suppose to get her Mango tank top and i'm suppose to shop for my mummy's birthday present. In the end either of us got to but what we wanted. But...we still bought something there and i realise i can buy that from causeway too. I bought a eyelash curler from Face Shop and i shall start practising it and hopefully my lashes can turn out to be like Sam.

Vivo was packed with people and we were wondering if half of the Singaporeans were there. I like the exterior and interior of Vivo.

Pics taken outside....(finally my eyes are bigger than Jy... :P)

In Vivo City...

Haha..i spotted my favourite strawberryand Jiayi helped me to take pics of it discretely. But i was forbidden to go in to have a look. Sobs...

Our food...

We went to Swenson and i finally had my yummy raisin ice cream which had a strong pinch of alcohol. It was superb!!!! Anyway the Sewnson there was super nice and their i love the way they display the food. It seems like fine dining except that i'm not 'fine' enough. Nearly broke their plate :P Anyway the ice cream made me freeze and i swear that i never ate ice cream before with that painful expression. Jy was telling me to follow the drama " my girl"- believe in ur lie and just lie that i'm super hot. But too bad, i'm a bad liar so it didn't work out.

Finally finish blogging...haha..i think it would be quite a while before i blog again.

Tired....

2006-10-30T22:40:00.000+08:00

Super tired today although the lessons today are not taxing. I seems to suffer from brain malfunction.....seems like my brain cells are dying. The most embarrassing thing is i actually fell asleep in the train!!!! And i can feel my head nodding away.....EMBARRASSING!! I think the lady beside me must be tempted to shake me awake. Haiz....

Anyway, putting the tiredness aside, i would like to thank huixian. Hahaha...the combined photo was nice :) THANKS...haha...my mummy was like "how come ppl got do u never do?" I think she knows i not as sweet. Wahahaha....

Here's the photo:

Nice? These photos are taken at Macau and HongKong. Dunno when we can travel overseas again.. :( I missed the days at hongkong!

My Earring Collection!!!

2006-10-29T19:00:00.000+08:00

Ta-da...This is my collection of earrings over two years.....

Thanks to my dad, i'm able to have a nice holder for my earrings which prevents a sotong like me from losing them. I think the vacuum cleaner sucked a couple of them in already :P
Anyway my favourite pair is the STRAWBERRY EARRINGS!!! Dun ask me why...i just have a soft spot for strawberries.

Thanks to sam, i finally got a new addition to my collection and its finally have something to do with my favourite-FOOD!

Yupz...its a pair of onigiri earrings...Sorry for the blur pics, there seems to be something wrong with my camera. I love the fact that its handmade (the origiri is made of clay) and its a white and black combination, making it easier to match. Hope that the origiri dun turn black from the dust...i will do my utmost to keep it clean.

Yeah!I shall wear it to sch on tml:) Heheeeeeee

OPENING

2006-10-24T14:34:00.000+08:00

Surprised that i didn't choose a strawberry blogskin but well as least my blog's add had something to do with it.

Watched Death Note at west mall yesterday, it was a super nice show.Though it was a small theatre squeezed with lots of sec sch students, but it was a great experience cos everyone was laughing so loud together. Haha...guessed we frightened a couple when penguin was leaning on my shoulders. "Thanks" for making ppl think that we are a les couple. But it was funny watching their expression though.

back to the movie....I'm amazed how these guys would waste so many brain cells to challenge each other. One thing i didn't expect is that he would actually plan to kill his gf. I guess this game is more impt than her. Scary....

Anyway thanks to Ms Wu Jia Yi who didn't warn me beforehand to eat more, i actually thought i would die on the spot when L kept eating throughout the second half of the movie. I actually ate 6 small dougnuts after that. Haix....FATTENING...before that i already ate a plate of duck rice and chendol. Dun think i forgot...Mr Lai Qun Jie is also another one who didn't warn me.

I actually wanted to catch part 2 of the movie...but after knowing some tragic news, i'm hesitating now. Hmmmmm.....super sad.

Guess tts all for today. Byeeeeeeeeeee
