I DiD It My Way~
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~
