Temp-ing days
well, today will be my last day of temp-ing. 1 week jiu zhe yang guo le.. had a rather horrible start to the day, however. 1st, arrived at the office an hour late. that really sucked. but the admin manager was really nice and understanding about it. and then was supposed to help one of the VP to print out some reports but just could not get the freaking alignment right? have u ever been thru 1 of these crappy times when u just gonna print out some documents from microsoft words or excel or powerpoint but the stupid print outs just do not obediently turn out the way you want them to be. sometimes they get cut off here and there and the whole layout is just wrong wrong wrong! i did do a print preview, fyi, in case u think i am some sort of microsoft office idiot but there are just so many settings to see to can.. ended up wasting tons of papers (horror horror this is worse than nightmare on alm's street. i hate wasting papers! but then again.. i used tissues liberally all the time.. hmm double-faced woman). to make things worse i am supposed to be printing those reports in colour and guess what? the printer is way back in the back office whereas my station is at the reception desk! hello, blisters on feet! i have to go back and fro to collect the printouts. this may be fine if i am wearing flats or sneakers instead of some grotty 3 INCHES HEELS! sigh.. the curse of the shorties (but i prefer being known as 'petite', as my body is definite balanced and i'm not like having a long torso and short stubby legs ok). mental note: gotta buy some fashionable flat covered shoes for my next job good enuff for OL style. bloody heels. couldnt even run v fast when chasing after the bus or mrt (this is made especially sucky in the rush hours morn when u helpless watch the departing bus getting further and further away from u and deep in your heart u know that u r gonna be late (again.. for the 4th time this week, ohh ohh..) but i digress. technology must be the bane of my life or something. pls, if u r another female being reading this, pls pls pls agree with me that technology is indeed very perplexing and frustrating (oh god dun let me be the only IT moron here pls..). bah!
it never rains but pours. how true. sucky things come in pairs and groups i tell you. so there were these 3 bankers who arrived at the office to see the finance manager and of coz, my duty is to serve them beverages. u think all guests politely ask for 'water pls, thank u' all the time instead of other fancy stuffs (1 of the banker guys actually replied 'gin and tonic' (it was 11am in the morning) and went ha-ha-ha-just joking, hot green tea pls. ok banker boy, u almost got me there. i must admit i was pretty stunned for a moment b4 giving a weak smile in response to his 11am in the morn joke (my momma has taught me to be a polite girl and we must always try to laugh at others' attempts at making a joke). so off i went into the pantry and ta-da!! guess what? no freaking green tea bags are available! that's freaking great isnt it. i just wanna serve 3 glasses of refreshments so why do i have the feeling that it is so difficult here huh. i know there are can green tea in the fridge though hence i called the finance mgr in the board room (where all 4 of them have already started their meeting). once she picked up i whispered to her discreetly: your guests would like to have hot green tea but we have none in the pantry so could i serve them cold ones instead? immediately i heard the chrous of replies from the banker guests: sure sure not a problem, followed by a little ha-ha-ha. i could die on the spot i tell u.. i'm on the freaking speaker!!! oh god, kill me. now these 3 bankers must be thinking that i am a no life lowly being whose main concern of the day is whether to serve cold green tea to guests or not. shittttt!!!! so there i was, carrying 3 glasses into the board rm (slow and steady now..) trying to push open the door with my shoulder (hands are unavailable). i realised that actually, i have no talent in serving drinks. i pulled out a chair from the table so that i could actually stand closer to the table to place the drinks down and happily, the chair which i had pulled out was spinning around as i kinda knocked into it. oh god...... and u know what is the ultimate worse thing? 1 of the bankers is so cute can! that's it. my life sucks. well if i could bloody serve 3 simple glass of drinks on the ground, FORGET ABOUT SERVING HUNDREDS OF PPLE 35,000 FEET UP IN THE SKY! i think god is trying to let me know that i am not a waitress by nature and if possible, be the one to be served instead of trying to serve other. the moral of the story is: always listen and watch for the little hints and signs that u r not cut out to be what u may always wanna be. when this happens....... pls do give up and find something elses to do which u are Actually Good In.
anyway i am really free now (obviously from my lengthy entry of monotonous happenings). in fact all the bosses and staff have gone out for a company sponsored chinese new year reunion lunch and no prize for guessing right who is the unlucky one who gets stuck in the office answering phonecalls and taking down messages. i console myself that hey! at least i am using work time to update my blog! that's pretty cool right? yup so The Office Temp, aka yours truly, was left behind and excluded from cny lunch but the upside is no one is spying on what i am doing. you can't have your cake and eat it too! (fine, i dun like no stinking cake anyway, ha!)
i have actually watched 3 movies in 5 days' time. 'The Mist' was really good. the kind of tot-provoking movie which makes u think a lot about life for about the next 20min. I feel so sad for the male lead in the show though. What he went thru in the end really sucks to the max. If one day I too shot all my loved ones in the heads to only find help arriving with the next 5 mins, i will go berserk for sure. for me, i thought about how, in normal times now, when food and other supplies are sufficient for all of us, we are ok. but imagine if humans are pushed to their limits, scared half to deaths and led into thinking that they are gonna die, it's really scary what some pple would do just to stay alive. human nature is really hard to comprehend. i once watched this show and this guy in it was asking: what is the biggest and most unpredictable thing in this world? is it the sky? not really. the sky is not that hard to predict actually. the weather only rains, shines or snow. then is it the sea? that's not correct either. bcoz the sea is either peaceful or choppy. it is the human heart, which is so vast and wide, you can never predict what others are thinking and the rationale behind what they do. i find this to be very true indeed. ghosts and monsters are scary but i think the most frightening should be human beings. we have insatiable greed which makes us want more and more and there is always a selfishness in all of us regardless of the extent, it does exists in varies degree in each individual. i guess that's why communism never work out.
another movie which i also caught over the weekend with my very lovely japanese ex-colleague was 'i am legend'. always had a thing for zombies movies although i am guilty of covering my eyes when zombies are having a killing feasts biting and chewing their ways into human flesh (Eww..). I'm surprised the zombies in this movie are not your typical stupid ones (think 'dawn of the dead') but they are actually really intelligent with the ability to set up traps and stuffs and boy do they move fast. anyway it was another movie which gets u thinking as well. if i am the only person left in this word when, come night times, flesh eating zombies roam on the god-forsaken streets by the millons, i think i'm gonna be so freaked out. i guess i would seriously toy with the idea of ending my life. strange how pple turn to suicide when they are faced with a crisis huh. i guess it's a very human part of us where we have no courage to face the problem and death will then be a rather appealing way out of the situations.
and last night, went to amk hub with shany to watch (i forced her) 'vanished', some cheap jap horror production with low grade scary scenes. i tot it was strange that it was not showing in gv cinemas but at the end of the show i understood why. it was crap. that kind bs which u have sworn and cursed time and time again never to waste your money watching B-grade horror flicks which have meaningless plots and lame effects. but well, i guess this is SG and having nothing much else better to do, we torture ourselves with lousy movies once in a while.
hmmm ok i am off to read some magazine now. i think i might actually miss this temp job a little after today.. after all, i have gotten to know the staff here during 1 week stint and they are honestly very lovely and sweet pple. even the ang mohs in the management turn out to be rather nice and not dao like i initially thought they were. it is also good to be relaxing and having really nothing much to do and getting paid for it but... nay... i guess i have to go back to a serious job soon or else i will be really sluggish and my brain might degenerate into mash in time to come.
I will remember this bunch of lovely pple though and my temp-ing duration here nevertheless.
last but not least, realise i have not posted pix on my blog for quite a bit. i have just changed hp and didnt really make the effort to install the software and stuffs to my pc so that i can upload my pix. i will do it soon! meanwhile, some pix of me and dawny from our outing last friday where dawny sweetie took pix of us at cable car (a rather nice drinking place which serves excellent chilled draft tiger beers) and i kapo-ed these pix off her blog. LoL.
ok so i know that my 'poses' are actually all the same. sigh so sad. must be more creative in the future. dawny is much much more photogenic than me and her cute little apple face always looks good in shots man. Awww~

The Office Temp
hmm.. got myself a temp job, as a security guard (joke). ok ok so i am not working as a security guard la but it almost feel the same to me wor.. how it happened was that i was really getting kinda bored while waiting for my v new and glamorous (ha) job to start after CNY hence i happily took on a temp recept position to kill time. rather pleased with the office. very nice, spacious and quiet with fab glass offices for the management. can totally see what those ang mo big bosses r doing in their offices (is there a voyeur in me?? *horror*) anyway, that's v cool~ I start to imagine maybe one day, I will sit in an office like that too with my female executive power suit and killer heels, bossing junior staff around.. teehee. well anyway! I was told that this is known as 'open office concept'. the staff strength is just right too, with not too many people (so that i dun have to kill too many brain cells remembering names and faces (but i have already killed many brain cells with my VBH (v bad habit*awkward cough*), sigh so sad just thinking about this.. but i digress...) i have quite a bit of time on hand (actually i really have nothing to do like 95% of the time) hence i brought books and mags along to read and now, updating my blog *blushes* currently i am reading 'shopaholic and baby', the latest book from the shopaholic series by sophie kinsella. it's really funny and great for passing time. v chick lit indeed.
I have also found some solace and fun time with the office shredder. u see, my last office does not have one and when i asked my ex-boss to get it he happily told me to tear papers up BY HAND, pointing out that it will be a good form of exercise (i doubt so). so i hope that i am forgiven for being a little too excited with the office shredder. i am always looking forward to shred unwanted papers (actually it is one of my duties to go round collecting unwanted papers at 5pm from the others and shred them). it is the 4th thing i look forward to doing (1st is 5.30pm, 2nd is lunch hour and 3rd is collecting the mails at 2.30pm then chopping 'received' on them. it's lotsa fun!). i dun think there is lack of papers for me to shred around in this office actually. this company waste paper like nobody's business. it's a real crime but i have no say as i am only the office temp hence *shrug*.. i have been doing fun experiments with the shredder though, trying to pull out the papers midway when it's been shredded and boy was i surprised to find that it's not possible to do so. i imagined myself putting my fingers near the opening.. and it really scares the hell outta me (must not have silly tots from now on). but it's fun, temp-ing silly jobs once or twice in your lifetime, is an experience, although getting paid peanuts, but at least i get to surf the internet ^_^"
the downside is i am rather alone and went for lunch by myself. yesterday, i had 1 of the worst bowl of yu pian mee fen i have ever eaten. the fish slices are definitely too fishy smelling for my enjoyment. Eww~ totally went to funan mall which is nearby to buy toothbrush and toothpaste so that i can get rid of fishy taste. and today, i shall eat pasta at pasta maniac in funan. really cannot stand local food anymore. so sick of eating mixed rice la or whatever noodle la during lunch. the woes of an OL :( for me, when i get bored with local food, i tend to have fast food or western food instead (yaya bloody 'original') but worry about all those fats and msg. recently i have this vision of having my own house with a beautiful kitchen, and i will be serving up lots and lots of healthy and delicious food, living up to 100yrs old as a result of my conscious effort! (hmm do i wanna live up to 100?? maybe not...)
*** the same night, after work ***
i blame my big fat mouth. shouldnt have complained about having nothing to do. when i came back from lunch, i suddenly had plenty to do. that is not expected actually, especially for a one wk of temp job. didnt even have the time to complete this entry. aww... anyway i have PLENTY, and i do mean plenty, of papers to shred today in the office. i am no longer amused. in fact, i am v concern about the amt of trash this company generates each day. they r certified tree killers i tell u. i dun even think they even print on recycled papers or have bypass trays on the copiers for the printing of less impt documents. little wonder how global warming comes along and why is that the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
honestly i worry a lot about global warming. i really do. for an obvious reason that.. I DUN REALLY WANNA DIE YET, PLS! god i am such a scaredy cat. *shrug* that's so me. but even if the world doesn't end in our generation, dun u ever think about ur children, or even ur great children's future? well it's a frightening tot for me really, but i wish everybody could really put a little bit more effort into saving mother nature. like they say, it only takes everyone a little effort, a tiny changes here and there and tons of resources could be bloody well conserved, fyi.
hmmm maybe i am too exhausted from work. damn i'm weak. gotta be more optimistic about the future and everything. better log off b4 i bored everyone to death.
msg of the day: heal the world, make it a better place, for u and for me and the entire human race (ok, so michael jackson)

Happy (belated) 2008!
right.. i hope it is not too late to wish u all a happy 2008. yeah so i have not updated my blog for like 3 mths *nonchalent shrug* didnt think that affect anyone that much except my best fren shany who is always lovingly and obligatingly checking for new updates. thanks, gf *grinz*
i felt kinda sad though in the new yr as i realised that my new yr resolutions for 2007 had not been diligently fulfilled accordingly hence this yr i am stuck with the same ones all over again. very shameful to be such a slacker frankly. someone who is not keen to upgrade or better her life and continue to live yr to yr as the same, unimproved person. very soon i am gonna be mid 20s and that is kinda scary actually. i feel that i am still in the same state of mind like my then 19 yr old self except i dun really have all the time and luxury to squander my youth away doing nothing. it is depressing to remain goal-less and ambition-less forever. so like every start of a new yr, this time round i promise myself that 2008 must be a satisfying one! i am going to achieve the following (i read this good book recently which advises not to use the word 'try' in your resolutions otherwise u will never ever get around to doing it):
1) it's high time to have a satisfying job which i love and pays me what i think i deserve.
i feel happy to say that i have managed to fulfill step 1 of this aim. i will be starting work in feb at this great office (in a cool building! unlike normal office buildings, this one has a very gothic feel (i aint kidding, i do mean Gothic) and in the lobby, there's a very glam bar (yes, the kind where u drink alcohol) right in the middle of the first floor. cool) i also cannot be happier at the renumeration that i am offered for now. my advice to those who hate their jobs and think they are getting peanuts - look around for better offers right now in your industry then quit. if anything, my last job at the recruitment company has taught me that the job market is really doing well now and most job seekers really have the advantage of jumping to better offers. do it right now while the economy is good as nobody would know how long it will last. if it is not the money but u just hate your job, then either try to love it and get better at it, or quit. i think life is too short to be in a job u hate.
2) weight loss, slim down!
this is a toughie for me. since i left school i was no longer my slim self. i have always been the indulgent type who almost never deny myself of the food i love, the type who rather spend the entire day reading a book while lying (and maybe, snacking) on bed then to go out in the sun for sports (horrifying thought. i look like crap when i am tanned). hence the first step i took is to rejoin my gym (just so i can still run, despite on a treadmill, but safely indoor away from the evil sun). i have my ideal weight which i eventually wanna achieve, which is good, bcoz that means i have a goal that i can work towards.
3) quitting (for real) the Very Bad Habit
will not go into great length regarding this but close frens will know what i am referring to. like everybody, i dun wanna die, yet. frankly sometimes i am scared to death just thinking about it. u will feel like a walking timebomb, kinda helpless and all.
anyway, am looking forward to start work soon. i have been resting for way too long now, i am totally sluggish and have lost my momentum in life! but i am grateful still, bcoz of all the free time i have on hand (downside is my savings is a one way street, out only). i went to the library to borrow tons of books in order to save on entertainment. it feels great. i always love reading. i almost never buy my own reading materials bcoz i tend to only read a book once. and books r really ex actually.. i threw away too much stuffs when i moved house so now i am v conscious about buying things mindlessly bcoz most of them will just end up somewhere in the house, unused and forgotten. waste of money and space (and also an extra area where dust can settle and accumulate on). also been maximising my broadband by watching shows on it, thus saving more money on entertainment. (hmm.. actually i am kinda good at this huh) and also playing tomb raider on ps2 (both sponsored by e bf). ya i know i very out le. even the kids dun play ps2 now, do they? it must be the generation of xbox, psp and the likes of these games now. but i am the kind of, aiya, can play jiu play lo, nv mind de la... the bf looks down on me for relying on walkthroughs for my lara croft though. he said that's not playing game at all. but hello, how am i suppose to know where all the freaking rewards are located if i am without my walkthrough?!!
yup! anyway, have fun everybody. it is the start of a new yr once again so make good use of it to improve the quality of your life and the ones around u in the next 12 mths.
will have dinner with my ex colleagues tonight at clarke quay. hope i can get some pix with them to post it up in the next blog. here's one with my ex boss and colleague though and one i took with the little she-demon last yr. hope it is still ok to post them up ^_^"

oh yes.. it's so easy to forget that i have a blog these days.. mainly is due to, say, lack of interesting things to talk about anyway. mian qiang blog i will also most likely talk about my monotonous life which consists of work from mon to fri follow by 2 days of precious wkend which i do the same things all e time. 2007 is coming to an end in about 2 mths time. once again i question what i have achieve in this yr and i think e conclusion is.. nothing much. all new yr resolutions forgotten and only to be retold again in 2008. hello! life!
i'm on a wk's mc. just had a small operation yesterday. my consolation is that i am on paid sick leaves and that my 200bucks worth of medical bills will be claimable. the wisest decision i've made this yr is prolly signing my confirmation letter 3 days b4 finding out that i need an op. i totally burst into tears upon hearing this news in the doctor's office. and i always tot that, hey, i'm 23yr old and totally in control of my emotions! bah. nv believe in this. no matter how old a woman gets, she is still an emotional creature. pisces especially. and one might tot that i was just told that i only had 3 months left to live instead of being told gently that i ought to remove my infected cyst with a day surgery. hence the 1st time ever in my life, i had my 1st op on 22 oct, 12 noon. my 1st ever experience of under general anesthesia. i was pushed into the operating theatre. it was a weird feeling, me looking up at the ceiling. i realised that i had never looked at the ceiling so much b4. was generally nervous and scared of coz. a few doctors and nurses were around me, one had my right hand and happily slapping on it, trying to make my veins come out. i whined and asked frightenfully if this was gonna hurt. it did. ant bite my foot. after that my right arm started to feel v heavy. i could feel the anesthsia liquid thingy flowing into my body. 1 nurse brought out a mask thingy and told me to breathe deeply, claiming that it was oxygen. my best fren immediately pop into my mind. a few days back she was telling me all about her op experience and how 'after 2 deep breaths, she was out by the 3rd'. yup, it was etched into my mind, woman! indeed i was seriously groggy and light headed after taking in a couple of breaths. the nurse who was holding the mask instructed me to open my eyes and look at her so that she would know when i was out unconscious. wow i must say it was a scary yet eye opening experience. seriously i had no recollection when exactly did i pass out and an hour and half later, i was already being pushed outta e operating theatre and being awakened by a doc who asked me if i know where i was. satisfied after a few moments of monitoring me, i was pushed back to my day ward where mummy and the bf were waiting. 
nurse wont let me home after i woke up due to low blood pressure hence i took a little nap and when awakened, felt bored and took a little pix of gross metal plastic thingy on my hand where the anesthesia was administrated. it was painful man. oh ya ignore unglam hospitalised make up-less face. its not my usual chic appearance but i was not expected to be all mascara-ed or lip glossed *shrug*
it's day 3 after my op now and i am rather well. i am not covering the wound with a dressing since today as well due to the skin irritation that the dressing is causing me. my wound is around 8cm long and looks like a centipede with the stitches. my mum was fussing about ever since she laid eyes on the length of the wound. she found it outrageous that the doc should make such a long cut for my swell was only about 5cm. she said that another 5cm and prolly that length is enuff to deliver a baby. funny ya.. i can move my arm a lot better now and my wound is dry as well so thank god. pretty much off the painkillers as well.
isnt it strange that just merely a week ago i felt like i had no time of my own at all and now with a week off work, i actually felt kinda lost. of coz its a good thing, in a way all these excess time. was planning to do some studying actually. my jlpt is coming around in 6weeks time. up till now i have yet to pass any of the mock exams in school but no matter what, i must pass my jlpt 1!! Yoshi!
another sky and sea pix from office window. found it amazing that the clouds and sky are separated in this pix. m-san said i am too free. i said he cannot appreciate the sky. nice isnt it.
sianzness from being at home all these while. couldn't concentrate on studying leh. watching too much jap drama as usual. dun have anything interested to blog about as well. ahh Ahh.. i think i complain too much. think i go do something else. nothing fun to blog about, so sorry. gomen ne!
Monday, September 17, 2007
once again i wonder where did my time go. haiz really quite sianz sometimes. this mth is quite a crappy mth for me actually in most aspects of my life. health is low as i banged into my foot and resulted in a slightly bleeding toe last wk and the passing wkend, a case of food poisoning (main suspect is kfc coleslaw so be careful, pple) that left me puking and watery stools and weak all over for 1 precious saturday T_T
money is low too. just parted 500bucks for sch fee while i am not even getting my full pay yet.
i could sigh endlessly.
i dun hate my job. i really dun. i dun even like to use the word 'hate' at all if i can help it bcoz its so extreme and i'm trying to be a neutral person. just that i am the kind of person who cannot stand the boring bits in life. i wish to fast forward all the mundane parts and live out only the fun parts. (that reminds me of adam sandler's 'click' (or was it called 'remote??? no, definitely 'click' i think..) morale of the movie is that sometimes it's the boring parts which makes u look forward and even more cherish the good ones. i wonder if life is all about the good bits only, then will they eventually bcome boring too???)
stupid la.. it's like thinking of the egg and chicken question and i sure as hell dun wanna think of such things at the end of the day!
shall grumble a bit. can't stand some of my clients. no actually only 1 of them. i shall call her the mother pig. why? bcoz she is a grunter. u know how pigs sound like right. they grunt. why i call her that is due to the typical phone conversation, she almost always give me the same reply:
Me: so MP(shall censor off the real name and shorten to MP aka mother pig), you only want this so and so right.
MP: Hmmm..
Me: Right.. how many that so and so? also the same?
MP: Hmmm..
Me: Ok... only local or PR only?
MP: Hmmm..
Me: can i also so and so and so?
MP: Hmmm..
and so on. maybe i can't express her stupid cant-be-bothered-to-hide-her-boredness-and-impatience voice simply by using the word 'Hmmm..' but it's that kind of ultra dead fish, super auntie and basically feel like slapping her kinda voice. if u have at any 1 time of your life embarked on a job that required to call up pple frequently, i am sure definitely got heard such voice b4.
so there. hence i nicknamed this irritating client TMP. pple like her ruined my day. see how i even stay up to blog and bitch about this moron after work?
can feel i am in a bitchy mood now. can i blame it on my hormones? i can related to all the words below:
aggressive, argumentative, bellicose, combative, contentious, discordant, disputatious, gladiatorial, militant, pugnacious, quarrelsome, scrappy, truculent, warlike, antagonistic, fierce, hostile, hot-tempered; acidic, bearish, bilious, choleric, crabby, cranky, cross, disagreeable, dyspeptic, fretful, grouchy, grumpy, huffy, ill-humored, ill-natured, ill-tempered, irascible, irritable, ornery, peevish, pettish, petulant, querulous, rude, snappish, snappy, surly, testy, touchy, ugly, waspish; battling, fighting, warring
it's like everything is doom and gloom and i can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. awww.. i wish i am more like shany. she never seems agitated (much). mostly always calm and serene. to be honest i can't. for once i have a too-defensive nature which makes me wanna take on anyone who picks on me. anyone knows how to transform into a more peace-loving, doves-fly-around-me and i-can-c-a-halo-over-my-head person? I WANNA RELATE TO THESE WORDS INSTEAD:
affable, amiable, amicable, benevolent, complaisant, conciliatory, cordial, easygoing, friendly, genial, good-natured, good-tempered, gracious, ingratiating, obliging, pleasant, sociable; calm, quiet, relaxed, serene, tranquil; benign, gentle, kindly, mild, nonbelligerent, pacific, peaceable, peaceful
Heeheehee.. feels kinda better now.
anyway i kinda figure out the main source of my irritation but i strongly bcoz its due to the fact that i am so broke this mth, the begger outside the kuan yin miao earns more than me or something. hence my brilliant solution is to start buying toto and 4d regularly once again (only $2 a wk on toto, as i firmly believe that this is by sheer luck and so long got buy, means got chance, so no need too much). thank god there is a betting outlet in my work building *hiak hiak hiak hiak hiak* u dun say.. that time when toto accumulated to 5millions, my colleague A jio m-san to buy quickpick and he did! 5bucks! more than me can! so u see, japanese also buy toto so singaporeans must not lose out.
omg.. it's only monday... wanna cry but no tears. c'mon wkend! 4 more days to go only! hang on to your panties, pple! Be Strong!

i watch too much dramas
to justify my monotonous life, i am watching an awful lot of jap drama on youtube (also to justify my unlimitedbroadband mio plan at the same time). this is rather decadent and frivolous use of my free time for someone who works a lot (the 9-6 OL job + the after work moonlighting) and should be doing nothing but study for my jlpt (speaking of which, reluctantly spent 9 lousy bucks to take passport size pix for my application form (that's another 36bucks of hard earn money which i paid for application fee). the photo shop in my work building is crap i tell u. charging an arm and leg for 6 lousy passport photos and when i request to retake my pix as my face turned out too fat and hair too flat, the stupid auntie was like: Ok wat, no need retake la. Hello! my money or yours? Bakamon.) which is taking place in less than 3mths time.
panic panic. actually, not so panic compared to earlier this yr. afterall i have already took 2 sem of prep class and the last sem is starting this wk. (dun wanna get started on how much money i have already dumped into all my jap classes. once again, i blame my young lazy self, age 13, to wilfully give up my free 3rd lang jap provided by moe (only to the top 10% of the psle cohort, mind u *haolian face*). the damn 3rd lang sch was in bishan no less. why why why.. now i pay good money to study in commercial jap sch T_T i'm broke this mth as i will have to pay 500bucks for sch fee *deep sigh)
took my mock test today. have a good feeling about it (be it real confidence or trying to console myself). hope i pass.
i'm sick of working after work. I'm TIRED! sianz ah.. but on the positive side, its nice that i have pleasant student. this kid whom i teach, the mum is real nice too. i'm kinda charging her quite a bit for the fee already and yet she kindly provides me dinner during the lesson. and it's damn kua zhang lo i tell u.. the dinner that they r serving me..
3 dishes 1 soup and a glass of iced ribena no less... and i tot i'm at a wedding dinner also something. heehee.. told u they're nice :)
3 dishes 1 soup and a glass of iced ribena no less... and i tot i'm at a wedding dinner also something. heehee.. told u they're nice :)my fave activity during work is gazing outta e window from time to time. i saw an UFO the other day btw. this is the trail of evidence it left behind
i told boss M-san about it. he gave me the eyes rolling. i guess he was unconvinced. weird clouds, btw, so patchy and all.. weird...
oh yeah~ met up with my sec sch sweeties, yokey and dawny.
me and yokey. excitedly feeling yoke's stomach. omg. there's a baby in there all ready to be born in a mth's time! i suspect i am more excited than yoke, the mum to be. LoL. but hey! i dunno anyone else who is having a baby! my brave yoke. will make her gimme all the details about going into labour (every woman who wanna have children should be knowledgable about e entire process). ahh ahh.. it's sure nice to meet up old frens :) all those talking about the good old days of us when we were still school girls and all. teehee. good times, good times. looking forward to seeing my girls again real soon! (^o^)

(^o^)and of coz, my dearest shany! went to the central at clarke quay as i have not been there yet
pasta de waraku! i have been wanting to eat there but wow, fri night and the Qs at all the restaurants at the central are so long man! only manage to take pix of their displays outside anyway. teehee. went to ma maison instead. didn't get to try the escargots that dawny has recommended as shany doesnt welcome the idea of eating snails. ate pasta and i-dunno-what's-this-thingy-that-shany-had-ordered.
Ahh Ahh.. nothing like a relaxed dinner with my good chum on a fri night.
me, a happy girl with her glass of very chilled white wine, perfect for after an entire wk of working (did u know that there is no ph for the mth of sep and oct? god helps us all..)
my teetotal best chum. happy with iced water.
speaking of best fren, i recently reconnected with my primary sch best fren in the weirdest way that deserves to be in ripley's believe it or not's record.
so i was just minding my own biz that day and this girl called me from jobsdb. she introduced herself with my pri sch best fren's name and told me that she will be handling our account from now on. i had my doubts when i heard her name and as we talked on, her voice sounded vaguely familiar too (i find it hard to forget that voice which used to gossip with me over the phone for hours over hello kitty, among other things). so i boldly ask her if she used to study in XXX pri sch and voila! it's IS my friend indeed! well god damn but how small SG is! bloody hell! how many of u dare to say that e same thing ever happened to u huh huh huh! my god. amazing.
and that's NOT all i tell u! i'm very agitated now as there r quite a few of weird things happening to me these days. so there i was, on these few occasions, looking thru resumes as usual and u will never guess what happen. i saw not 1, not 2 but 3 FREAKING resumes whose applicants ARE STAYING IN THE VERY BLOCK THAT I AM SOON GOING TO BE MOVE TO!!!! (did i mention that i am shifting soon? if u r one of my chummies, i guess u would have already know. otherwise, u r regarded as either some stalkers or secret admirers and there is no way in hell i'm gonna tell u where i'm moving to. back to my shockness) do u know how many hdbs are they in sg???!!!! there must be hundreds and thousands and gazillions of them but NO! same block as my future house, SAME! not 1 not 2 but 3 of them! freaks! so now i assume that that block must be bloody popular or something. it's shocking i tell u. such weird coincidences like these scare the hell outta me. *shivers*
so anyway (quickly regain my usual non-chalent self), gonna go indulge in more free jap drama on youtube now. desperately need to improve my listening. till next time, everybody have a good life now~
