chronicles of a tank life.

chronicles of a tank-life:

the shop really resembles a tank. transparent pane glass lining the walkway; a miserable space power-packed with rows and rows of accessories, bags, scarfs etc...and not forgetting the cramped cashier corner at the back.

all it takes is one look and u can see everything. clearly, not the ideal environment per se but it's not too nice to criticise it's presence since it does draw lucrative returns every christmas....

amidst all the negativities, i'd say it's pretty strategically located. a VERY VERY smart choice to be precise. you can practically smell the freshly baked bread and pastry from delifrance every half an hour [though it can make u gag after ur meals]. Intoxicating is the word for it... occasional glimpse of B-list celebrities who surprisingly doesn't like to be caught well-groomed. cute guys [in groups] strolling past every now and then...and if you're a nature-enthusiast, then you'll probably find consolation in the sounds created by an artificial waterfall in the basement.

i hope it doesn't sound like i'm whining.....cus seriously, i don't have an issue with the place.
maybe it's just me and my first-day-at-work-blues...or is it because of SOME people..:

1) i reported far too early for work
2) i had to run up to the office at tower B n back down to the shop, THRICE
3) i queued for "decades" at the ocbc bank to bank in some money for the shop
4) i ate alone for my dinner [this is the 2nd worst part]
5) my legs ached like hell cus there's no where to sit
6) the f**king alarm went off and caused a whole lot of trouble...

...this is what happened:
we locked the "tank" n someone pulled the glass damn hard to see if it's locked. that SOMEONE triggered the alarm which rang like a fire alarm, so loud that the whole ngee ann city can practically hear it. we panicked and unlocked the "tank" again and that someone ran in to de-activate then activate the alarm again. so, we locked up and left. END OF STORY...?
NO!
as we were reaching the train station, our supervisor called to ask us to run back and check on the alarm cus cisco called her.....damn....!@#$%^&*. so we made a mad-dash back only to realise that it was a false alarm cus everything's settled. we had to unlock again, then call cisco to let them know about it. and the rest was history.....

tell me if i'm pushing the blame. i haven't worked in that "tank" before and i weren't the one who locked up the shop. suay suay suay.....is it that someone or me?! damn it!

the ruse finally came to light after wasting $4.25 of my transport fare.

what am i talking abt? i'm just refering to some companies who claim to be hiring HR, Admin n Marketing personnels.

not that i'm deeming them as cheats but if it's plain sales, just say it.
i mean you don't have to go such a long way to explain your comapany history, the wonders of your products or even the forecast of your company's potential......blahblahblah. frankly speaking, if you ask me, i don't really give a damn.

i just wana secure a job, which has nothing to do with pestering people to buy my products. [ for one, i woulnd'nt even think people will buy that idea]. cus not that i'm skeptical towards the things you sell or whatever, just that if it's really gonna be sales, i'd rather work in Accessorize. To borrow a neat line from pte ltd: the grass in greener over there. simple.

sad to say, it took me 2 interviews to really decide from accepting their offer. there's this 3rd interview due today at 1. it just dawned upon me that money aside, happiness and comfort is another criteria i look for in a job. if i couldn't see myself doing that in the long term, i'd opt not to do it.

So, the bottom line: thank you, but no thank you

a love to kill

i'm begining to wonder, why does korean dramas have to be sad and draggy? they can never seem to do away with this tear-jerking edge.

you know it's the same ol' story told before, you know someone's gonna die, you what to expect, who's gonna be with who, and yet you literally keep your eyes glued to the screen, painstakingly follow the chinese subtitles which you can't catch half the time.

what makes you so intrigued and mesmerized is the male lead in the screen. close to perfection, and so full of character...

you're so driven by the thot of yourself being the female lead, of whom he kissed, hugged, and talked to. you begin to wonder, "how i wish i had a love like that". but, the other half of your more sensible self reminds you that you can only dream of it, because it never happens in reality.

it's shows like that which stands in your way- from being down to earth and realistic. but it's never wrong to fantasize right? what's wrong with being dreamy and idealistic for just a few moments.

i'm a self-proclaimed realist but my friends will think otherwise. before them, i can't stop bragging abt the love story i just read, the sad drama i just watched days ago, the latest tunes i've fell in love with. i even name some of them my husband of boyfriend....whatever intimate relationships possible. cute guys, rich brats, talented dudes....whichever category they fall into....

Sad to say, songs are songs, stories can only be stories. at the end of the day, it all comes down to you and your lonely self. how many times can you tell yourself it's ok, i'd sure find someone, someday. i'm not jealous, really. i don't care if other people are doing better than me. i have my friends, i'm not alone.

Right, your life's cool. nvm the hiccups along the way. somehow you'll make it on your own. nvm if it's boring, so long as you're alive, it's ok. But that's not what i want. the truth is, i don't wana lead an ordinary life. i wana meet someone, fall in love, fall out of it and be hurt, and then recover from it. that's pretty sick for some people cus no one likes the feeling. to me, it's an experience cus i've nv been hurt before by the people i love. at least i know i'm protected, and even the relationships i had before, i was probably the one who hurt them.

i really wish that life's like in the movies.....

the kind which u'll lie on your deathbed and reminisce about whatever heartbreaking events happened to you and the one you love.......the kind that can be penned into a sad love story which can make people cry.

i'm sorry for what i said about my sister man. I didn't mean it!

byebye phoney...

My sister lost her phone......AGAIN.

A part of me feels sorry for her, the other half just felt like pushing her head into the toilet bowl.
And to think that she just got the phone a few months ago....the latest samsung model...it can't be worst.

She probably felt the same excruciating pain she felt 2 years ago and it may well take a toll on her screwed up life....i don't care. she kinda deserved it.
what's her problem? i don't leave my phone in some pizza hut place and walk away happily with my friends...i don't put my phone on silent mode FOREVER so that people can't find me and i definitely don't ignore calls. you think some kind souls will call your friends and let them know they've found your phone?? you think singaporeans are not greedy? you think you won't be so unlucky? think again man. not everyone has a clear conscience or righteous values. finder's takers. get it?!

what's with her bloody attitutde and character?

I hate to say this but they're pretty rotten. i hope she feels real bad for whatever happened. i hope she'll still feel bad about it 10 yrs later.
so what if i sound mean? this is really the one and only way to make her learn her lesson. i so wanted to give her a piece of my mind yesterday when she broke it to us but i still had my reservations.

After taking turns to bombard her, my parents can't help but wonder if they'd spoilt her all these years. or maybe they're simply too occupied with my studies....heck which ever it is....but the karma seems to fall upon my sister.
she cried so hard last night that her eyes are all red and puffy this morning. she learnt her lesson the hard way.......

But STILL, howcome i never lose my phone?? !@#$$%%^** i think i feel worst for her poor phone. if only i own it. that will never EVER happen. aaawwwwww.......

what have i achieved?

what have i achieved?

i wana know too....do you ever feel empty, useless, unwanted, dreadful, "sian" and downright unutilised sometimes? one fine day you wake up in the afternoon, the airconditioner switched off by your beloved mother, you feel sweaty and sticky but still covered in the sheets and your dog's fur all over your face.....you sneeze then sit up, trying to recall what great plans you have for the day only to find out that there's practically no one in your phonebook u can date in particular. FLAT- u feel so damn flat. what's worst is the unbearable headache u suffer after waking up from 12 hours plus of sleep. that feeling sucked like there's no tomorrow. sometimes i really wana believe that there's no tomorrow. with tomorrows like that, i wish i can sleep for life. i'm sure i have more use than just sleeping, eating, and going to bed. the thing is, it's almost natural for me to feel lifeless these days......

let's see, lemme just recollect the number of remarkable things i've done this week. so far, the greatest of all should be bringing my granny for a check up in the hospital. an then, 2nd on the list, should be babysitting or i should say, BONDING with my beloved pet. Mr muffy seems to think that whenever i'm in shorts it equates "we're going for a walk". cool, it even rhymes....wah-lau-eh....and then he sticks to me like glue tailing me wherever i go...even when i'm going to the toilet. oh well, at least i am of great importance to him. at least i don't feel unwanted. alright, as for the 3rd on the list, that'll be meeting up with gracey and lili for Uni applictions. 4th, i went to get my pay. my eyes almost flashed 2 dollar signs when i saw the paycheck. so the backache and hunger paid off....lol. and then comes number 5- my parents finally bought me my GUESS watch, as promised. woohoo~~~~ love it man!!! hmmmm.....and OH! i bought my sis 2 pairs of earrings to make her feel better since she's apparently so stressed out over her assessment. she said it will affect her GPA at the end of the yr [whatever that means] and she can't understand physics...my god, my physics wasn't so bad before.....but can't blame her, cus she's in IP....the kinda things she study are meant for scholarships in the future, not like plain ol' us.....who just pray for a seat in Uni....lol......

that's about all i guess.....nothing commendable after all...... gotta wake up early tomorrow...not exactly early but i can't sleep late into the noons since i gotta attend Suzy's father's funeral. poor girl, it must be extremely hard on her and her family. gotta go show her lotsa support. especially when she's gonna take her A's this year.....i hope everything will go well for her and her family from now on....i've been praying for her these days, you ppl help to pray too...

a day to remember...FOREVER

Happiest days of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yesterday was pretty emotional for me....i left Accessorize after 3 full months...
there's a fair share of joy and laughter, tire and pain.....but i won't regret it since i've met great ppl there. esp my TOP 3 on the list [ Dhila, Lishan, Connie n my dearest SUHAILA ], nvm if that's more than 3 cus i love them equally much...lol. i'm gonna truly, madly, deeply miss these ppl.....and the rest too....for everything i've learnt and the prezzies!!! lol.

on my last day of work [28th Feb 2006], we were more like partying than working. hehe~ i ordered pizza for them and most of them came to the shop even though they weren't working...some even skipped sch for it...lol.... tt's prolly cus renee [our retail exec] was there too, since it was her last day of work as well.... yep, but i didn't cry though...cus i noe i can always pop-by for a visit..hehe.

That night, was also the night before the release of my A' levels' results......i thought a lot about it and was as nervous as ever.... what if i failed GP? what if i can't even get into SIM?? a billion 'what ifs'.....and that feeling sucked...anyhow, i still had a good night's sleep...think work's the reason for the lack of sleeplessness...lol. thank god for it. i slept all the way till 11.24 the next morning till i got an sms from jacky...'good luck' it read, [ i need lots of it]

and all's history....... i thought i couldn't make it.....i thought i'd fail...i thought i'll have to suffer the same emotional turmoil i've suffered 3 yrs ago but i was so wrong when i saw my results....

all i can say is, ' my hardwork really paid off and i couldn't be happier '.what's happier is, the ppl around me did well too...esp lili n gracey: do u all still remember the day we sneaked into the NUS library and studied there? how we wished we can all rightfully call it our 2nd home...how we'll sit at the exact same table we sat in the FASS canteen? now we can!!!

I can practically smell the grass over at NUS, NTU.....wherever....lol.... everything seemed to make sense finally. why i didn't make it to poly, why i have to take A levels despite dreading it for 3 yrs....it made perfect sense....i can't say it's destiny but i can't rule that out either.

Everything's falling into place for me finally.....at long bloody last.

i'm reading again!

I dislike reading. the funny thing is, i only realised this lil' flaw of mine a couple of months ago. in other words, i prefer precison. straight to the point, and right-at-your-face type of answers. though occassional guessing games are kinda entertaining and grandmother stories are good for killing time. still, it all boils down to one thing----my interest for books and vocabulary is slowly growing out of my liking.

it was like a rude awakenning for me being told off by my dad---he has such a reputation for digging at my blundders [and that's the most disdainful thing to me]. we were having breakfast the other day at the table, he had 'The Straights Times' before him, a cup of coffee beside it. while he was intensely searching for informative articles and important news, while i was browsing through celebrity gossips in 'LIFE'. see the contrast? and it's not like reading "LIFE" is such an offence.....[ it was published precisely for that purpose- for US, to READ right???? ]. but my bugger-dad had to comment on this very harmless gesture.


he is so into self-improvement antics these days it can actually drive me nuts. he told me he once contemplated leaving a note somewhere in my 192-page self-help book called "Earn what you're Worth". okay, so i bought the book myself. and just as HE expected, it was never really due for completion. ... .... .. . .... ... ... .. . . .. .. .. . ... ... . ...

and so the note will read: " by the time u see this note, it will already be half a year gone. or worse, u'll only see this when you're trying to tug the book somewhere in a corner. and it falls off ACCIDENTALLY."

-OUCH-

it's like a slap in the face. that does it man, i'm SO gonna prove it to him that i'm definitely more than just THAT! i do read okay....but i'm not gonna prove it with with this book of course....that was quite a mistake. the so-called "Wildly Sophisticated" approaches to a successful career or life isn't really my cup of tea...at least not at the moment. it's exclusively for aspiring career women who thrive to shine in the corprate arena.----so not me--- i haven't even got my A'level cert for goodness' sake, so i guess it was just another of my disastrous attempt. the book was undeniably BORING [to me], so full of corprate-crap and lacks genuine humour....or maybe i don't get what she's saying most of the time, that's why.

Like as if my life's not boring enough.....i don't need another reason to make myself feel dead. Anyways, it seems to me that i'm reduced to celebrity gossips and monthly horoscope columns. pathetic. so, to rescue myself from falling into this pitthole, i've vowed to kick that killer habbit of mine......i'm gonna start reading! i'm so not gonna be lazy! Now, it's theee time for me to READ....selectively..haha. and i've finally found a book which appeals to me---Robyn Sisman's "Perfect Strangers"...what a romantic start.........nothing beats romance....sad, sappy ol' romance fiction...love it. i can still remember reading "pearl habour" and "a walk to remember" more than three times each. SEE....i don't exactly dislike reading, cuz if i really like the book, i'll read it over and over again with exceeding interest! very unsophisticated and typical of a girl, i know....but seriously, i'm no different from those girls who cry in the movies. it's no shame to being girly in my opinion, really. but of course, i'll never be content to stop right there---i'll be much more than just THAT. Now that i'm cruising towards my 2os....and being a "swinging-single", this book can't be more suitable for my new beginning-----the quest for sohistication, love and success!!!!! lol....sounds ambitious? cheesy? or just down-right cliche? who cares man....it's just the starters......reading is just one of the many, many changes i'd like to begin with.


i can't be more excited.

10 things tt's driving me nuts this month...

10 things which are driving me nuts this month....

work-related:
1* Insufficient sleep......and backache!!! [it's kinda unbearable as time goes by. age isn't a factor]
2* Entangled accessories! [this should top the damn list, really]
3* replenishing stocks [or rather stock taking]
4* that gay at wallet shop
5* The repetition of songs played in the shop [even the nicest tunes suck like hell to me now]


non-work related:
1* finding that heart-breaking song
2* the guilt of retail-therapy
3* k-boxing my money away [volunteerily]
4* the difficulties of getting things done. [i'm too fed-up to elaborate]
5* realising that somethings just simply cannot be forgotten. maybe tt's why it's so hard to forgive too.[i totally get it]


...talk about a happy chinese new yr..... what an irony.

Thursday, January 12, 2006

brrrrrr...........

Brrrrrrr..........

it's so cold can........... it's raining day and night, night and day....i've not seen broad daylight for days already....i hope this won't continue for weeks cuz it's making me real lazy.... i can even fall asleep while standing. picture this: i was serving this customer for almost 20mins and i yawned every like, 2mins i think....needless to say, she noticed it but was nice enough to laugh it off...

thanks to the weather....i'm getting lotsa nice sleep these nights but it also resulted in me waking up LATE...and i mean real LATE. i was supposed to work morning shift for a whole 4 day stretch this week, which leaves me to tend the shop alone in the morning... worst, when my colleagues ain't around...the chill of the bloody weather really set the mood for a lazy nap..... THAT IS WHY....i have to spend 5bucks every morning to get a dose of caffeine to make sure my eyes don't fail me. [yeah, startbucks is really, really, making BIG BUCKS these days...] for one, even when my eyes are wide opened....my mind starts to drift to the wrong places...... sometimes i can just stand at the counter and stare into space for a good 10mins if no one comes in....oh well, even if there is, i'll just remain still...[ don't ask me why i chose service line ] BUT, there's always stuff to look forward to at work every morning...i can just look across to wallet shop...where the david tao look-alike supervisor is...lol...it doesn't hurt to look right? it's f.o.c anyways.... i don't think he noticed me though...if he does, then i'll just pretend i'm staring into space....right, sounds good enough an excuse. =)

i feel bad cuz i was supposed to visit lili's house for a surprise on her birthday......thanks to a last min prob....which i'm abit lazy to elaborate...i couldn't make it. and i'm supposed to be a SPECIAL GUEST!!!! nevermind....we've got a date next week...i can still pass her her lil prezzie....come to think of it, i haven't give her anything for the past 3 yrs....when we're in sch, she always refuse to let us buy her anything...but now, i think i'd better give...cuz if not, i'll feel bad.
anyhow, i think our 3 yrs of friendship isn't that shallow lah. i don't think any kinda glitter and shine can actually replace 3 GOLDEN yrs of togetherness........the same class, the same bedroom, the same plastic sheets....etc.....SO, i gotta say this to her: Ng Li Rong....I LUURVVE EEEEW!!

....now even muffy's wearing a shirt....my mom probably think that he's cold too... hmmm...he did something amazing today...like a stunt. lol... he leapt up to my sis' bed [usually he needs our help to push his butt up]...tt's not the best part, i was saying to him in a sarcastic tone: "muffy, u so clever then you jump to my bed lah..." and he did!!! he jumped from one bed to another...btw, our beds were'nt that close to each other....i was totally taken aback man! tts really a pleasant surprise. he'd NEVER EVER done such stunts b4...though he did tried to jump up to my mom's bed umpteen times but failed terribly as he rebounced back to the floor---exhausted-- lol... actually, it's not the jumping that amazed me, it was the way he understood what i said. for the first time, i thought he's like a human...just like us... see, the wonders of having a pet dog. the little things he do can make him seem irressistably adorable OR, can make him a complete menace......but isn't all these part of the package the moment you set ur eyes on him? yes, i gotta agree, beneath those mischieve lies a heart which yearns attention and some TLC........... muffy's such a nuisance...but i love him.

take care friends...the weather ain't that friendly nowadyas...much as i love RAIN, i don't want "him" to make ur sick....catch the pun?

my blog's dead...so are my feelings...

My Blog's dead....so are my feelings....

Okok...thanks for the kind reminders and naggs....[not that i need them] haha... i understand that it has sort of fallen into a coma for weeks....and that even though i do check out the tags n reply them, there has to be something new for my friends to comment on.... so, thanks to huihua, glyn, suzy...blah blah blah....i'm obliged to force out every drop of inspiration at this hour...

just to rewind back to a few hours ago...i was at k Box marina with my usual ktv khakis...[collin n glyn -jacky's got sch btw-] and we were having a tremendous time singing (or shouting) our lungs out n to our hearts content....my apologies to the 2 poor souls cuz it was supposedly a celebration for collin b4 he goes into NS on the 6th...BUT, as many of u all noe...i love to sing...so that kinda explained the following: i was mic-hogging....lol!!!! really sorry for that...but i simply couldn't help it...it's as if they paid 20 bucks to come to my cheapo concert!!! haha, in case that will scare any potential ktv-enthusiasts who wish to tag along the next time....i'm not always like that *smiles broadly* it's just that i was super high tonight......

Yeah b4 i forget and this is still ringing in my head like a broken record...glynis wants me to add this: she sounded much nicer when collin recorded her voice in the mp3 player...
btw, we recorded a couple of songs and they were...well...pretty impressive i must say...lol....then i joked about the 'nicer sounding glynis'... i said to her [rephrased] "now i know why those who can't sing can record albums" wahahahaha....that was a joke of cuz.....=P

anyways, we totally enjoyed ourselves and sang heartily to every tune...sometimes we went off key...but most of the time we hit all the right notes....if anyone interested to hear the recorded tracks can let me noe....wahaha....if anyone is interested to sign us on also can...muahahaha......... just so long as we dont need to hide our faces behind some weird cartoon characters...lol.

*this is especially for Collin: take good care of urself inside...n don't get too desperate until even the 32 yrs old aunty at the front desk also wana look...lol..no lah, i really hope it'll be a fruitful experience for u...n pls.....we wana see muscles the next time....hee hee....we'll miss you!!!

As for the dying feelings part...HAI........................i don't know the significance of it either....i think some of ur will know what i mean......i can feel that its dissipating already.............like what collin said [though he sounded kinda light-hearted when he said that] everything is just made up by me....the way i wana remember him...the reasons or rather, excuses i try to make myself believe in....it's like i'm running away from cold-hard facts....the truth is, i don't even know what to believe in or how to think the right way anymore.....the major mistake i made is probably to keep reminding myself abt him by constantly bringing up the topic.....i could've left him far behind long ago.......but i didn't...what do u call this? stubborn or self denial???

Thursday, December 22, 2005

back!

i'm back by popular demand...lol...as u can see, some of u just simply miss my blogging...wahaha.
suzy, u shud come find me at my workplace to know how it's like, then i can tell u the whole story...cuz it's like too much stuff for me to write abt....hehe

but on the whole, working was really fun as i get to know my colleagues better...they're really damn fun to hang around with. haha. so yes, i'm kinda enjoying it now already though i can get a bit frustrated when it's busy. nevermind all that, i'm getting used to it anyways....

just came back from genting and KL a few days back. it was an utter disaster...not only that i didn't get to take any of the rides [i couldn't even see my fingers in all that mist for the record], the indoor rides were mostly (uh-hm) dumb and let's just say even the dumb rides attract strings and strings of queue to my horror....but i can't blame them cuz the situation was kinda desperate. the only thing which was worth commenting abt was the Ripley's believe it or not museum and the KTV session with my cousins. THAT'S ALL. and abt the hotel accomodation.......i don't even wana think abt it man. just a sneak peak of what happened when we got our room keys: the rooms looked as though they were invaded by some natural catastrophe.....it was THAT bad....the trip to KL was no better of cos.....

So, i've already vowed never to step anywhere near these 2 places in the near future [at least not with a whole big group of ppl and definitely not during school holidays]....to begin with, i didn't even want to go...thanks to my dad's incessant bugging.... i had to take an unpaid leave....which means less $$ in my pockets. =(

enuf of the whinning....me huihua and glyn met up yesterday...we had a damn good time chatting and catchin' up with each other....we didn't really change much except for hh's hair color, glyn's make up and my brokeness despite havin a job...we ate at nooch and were greeted by pretty lousy service...but that didn't really bothered us cus we were more immersed into our conversation and our FOOD...lol. we walked to esplanade after that and sat at the roof top....we talked abt guys and how we should get a bf and stuff....but the conclusion is: it's never easy to find someone at this point in time...we somehow felt like characters from a certain American tv drama....haha.....as for me, i still have this feeling that i'm holding on to something though i really want to give it up already....sometimes it's just hard to be honest abt the way u feel....but whatever it is, only time will tell and who knows? i may just run into that someone one day.

which is better?

Yeah yeah...it's the same ol' boring line your folks always try to get in you-----"studying is so much better than working" i totally agree now......today is my long awaited "OFF DAY" after 8 straight days of work.not to mention the 6 continuous morning shift i've had. working is down-right tiring but there's always the fruits to harvest at the end of each demanding month.

some stuff are worth pondering over...like did i really got myself a good job? am i truly cut-out for sales? lol...i don't really care thou...it's temporary anyways...and i do think i'm doing alright at the moment. of coz, every profession has its quirks and ugly side.... like the other day, i served this pain-in-the-ass kinda customer who nearly made me puke blood all over....but its sales...so i'll just have to accept it with a wide smile.....besides, it's not as if i didn't expect such things... lol.

the worst thing abt all these is that i'm actually growing fatter.....my gawd....i don't know why....shouldn't i be slimming down cuz of work? it's like a reversal man. i actually ate more than before! i take 4 meals a day since i started working in the afternoon...lol!!! tt's a record...and my pending excercise regime, i don't even wana think abt it... even the thought of it makes me feel lazy....see, my laziness isn't just skin-deep.....lol...it's much much more. haha...as for tV...i only get to watch the less interesting ones when i get home...and of cos, the vcds.....kinda lifeless....but all it takes is some getting used to...then all the dread will be history...

i'm slowly getting used to it already....and some funny stuff happened during my work which helped brighten up the monotony of the job...and then there's the easy going and sometimes wacky colleagues of mine....hmmm..its like i'm beginning to like my job.

oh no, straying from that topic, my dad is so serious in psycho-ing our whole household to get the flu-jab tonight!!!!!! aaawwwww.......can he just give us a break??? or not, just me....gimme a break can??? i don't need another reason to traumatise myself now....and for crying out loud, it's supposed to be my OFF day!!! why can't he just let at least ME of????? boooohooo~~~~~ k come to the bottom of it all, i'm just afraid of the needle.....i really am.....cuz it's been quite some times since i last got poked by it.....not that i don't understand his efforts...but the thing is......i'm really scared of injections??? and it's not just me, my mum is too.....so please please let us off can???? CANNOT....he confirm will make us go take it...tt's it lah...end of me..... tml i'll report to work with a sullen face and a swollen arm....boo!!!

dedicated to the millenians...

My beloved friends from MI....

i suddenly feel like writing something about each of my millennian friends...since we're all going our seprate ways now, maybe it's time i shud write something about some of the friends i'm more familiar and closer with....

1* Ng li Rong aka Banana aka lili aka Mrs Fighter akaTai ke queen aka secretary of pte ltm & GMR: guess her nicknames are enuf to drown all the Tai kes in the world....lol. she's a real fighter in everyway, esp in terms of her academics...haha. such a genuine friend whom u can count on. My roomy for the Bintan retreat, my partner in crime (class) for 2 yrs and my tennis "coach"!!! hehe.....i always lament that ur handwriting sucks [thou it's kinda proven] *oops* BUT, you shud just see mine for the geog papers....they were appalling!!! haha... oh, thanks for showing me that "leng" face whenever i tell cold jokes....-_- and one more thing....your smile's the most unforgetable, really!!! [btw, suzy and rong comes in a package. the buy one get one free kind..cuz i knew her thru lili...haha]

2* Grace Kang aka streetlighter aka CEO of pte ltd & GMR aka HK paikiah aka gracey aka pineapple: her nicknames can fight with rong's BUT, haha! she's a whole diff character. if you don't know her, you'll think she's lethal...lol. but if u do, hmmm.....u'll be kinda shocked by her reactions lah...the way she climb on the bars when we take neo prints, the way she and me tried to annoy rong with the 5566 hand signs...the way she always TRY to laugh at my dumb jokes.....she's also someone with an undying passion for sports-esp HOCKEY....with that burning passion, i know she'll go far... and MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'll really be classmates again next time!!!

3* Weiling aka security for pte ltd aka peary : she's the most matured in thinking amg us all....whenever we get a bit lunatic and carried away with the dumbest things, she go "aiyo...ni men hor..." lol....tt explains that she hardly join in the craziness.....but tts a good thing too, cuz in case we get overboard, she can actually pull us back down to earth. hehe. kinda sisterly in some ways....and she loves her dog like me!!!! one more thing! she seems to be the most relexed one during our A's....and tt's kinda influential....

4* Dawn aka F&B exec: hmmm....think from the first time i met her, i thought she was quite a "gan cheong" person....but after 3 yrs....i still think she is, but much less already...hehe... maybe she's just more concerned with things unlike me, always think of the very unimportant things.... lol....n i tend not to worry abt sch work...OR u can say, "heck care"...lol. As a F&B rep, she nv fail to bring us food and snacks to binge on during our LONG and DREADFUL sch hours....haha....very generous indeed! think we're the only bunch who cannot stop eating in class...and sometimes, we eat very obviously in front of teachers when they're teaching....like we really have the right to like tt....lol!!! she's also a very very nice person to start off a conversation with cuz she's mature in her thinking too [i just can't seem to communicate well with immature ppl] haha. and did i mention how she looked on grad night? woohoo...tt was the best i've seen of her!! =P

5* Glynis Lee aka glyn aka "tie sha zhang" aka piggy: this girl is actually my first friend in MI....there's quite a LONG history behind our relationship and now we're still as good as ever...a couple of "i can't stand u n u can't stand me" in between but guess now we're more mature and not so petty already?? haha... if she craps, she REALLY craps....i mean, seriously, she can do the most [i don't noe], the 'please shoot me' kinda things that make u want to shoot her dead right away??? haha.... the ability only lies with her i guess...super farnee....and when it comes to singing, i think i've nv went on a kbox session w/o since i knew her...lol....she is quick to pick out the flaws in ur singing and sometimes i do feel like strangling her BUT! she 's not stingy on her compliments too.....in volleyball.....hai~ long story... i love and hate her altogether...lol!!! OK LAH, as for now, we'll still be great pals!!!

6* Huihua aka fishy aka janice: she'sreally someone whom i can have LONG chats with...esp the times we used to chat on our long ride home in 171.... time seems to fly by very quickly when we talk...lol...bitching is a must in our content and it makes the best ingredient for the entire trip...lol. u want good advice can always get from her...and thou she's younger than me by quite a few months, she acts more like an elder sis to me...[maybe cuz of my height?] wahaha. oh, she stands in tough competition with glyn for being a lamer....both of them need wheel chairs, not clutches.lol. the "bu pa" song has a hokkien version thanks to her....and she takes pride in it! haha....it's already kinda like our anthem already....the "beaching" trips to sentosa are really fun with her and the other girls....oh, and you shud look at her when she's in her bikini...*whistles*

7* Collin: BIG bro collin always treats me like a kid...lol...as in a younger sis maybe.... cuz he likes to disturb me...always call me "moomoo" when he sees me in sch and out.. but when his serious, i'll freak out! lol....similarly, when he's looney, i'll equally freak out! lol!! he's real genuine and once you know him, you'll get to see his TRUE self....he won't attempt to hide his emotions so if he's pissed with you, it's written ALL over his face...lol....lucky i nv piss him off before.... he drives us around sometimes, as in literally d-r-i-v-e. haha... he's also an indispensable k-box khaki!!!!seriously, his voice is so loud n clear that sometimes he doesn't need a mic!!! amazing.....and he is really a prospective singer to me. haha.

8* Jacky aka 俊男 aka my BESTY!!!: hmmm...what shud i say about this guy??? very sentimental, fairly sensitive, quite emotional, kinda indecisive at times but he dreams big! that's something i like abt him!!!! haha....though i really hope he can do what i can't...which is to stand on a real stage to perform [cuz i've got stage fright] haha, his courage and passion for singing is really inspirational...he used to be plagued with BGR probs....but he knows he can always count on me! haha...and other ppl lah....but what are besties for right?? i'll nv be too busy to listen when u're troubled....and i hope you can devote the same amt of effort in ur studies next yr, like how you prepared for ur comps...way to go jac!!!

who have i missed? hmmmm.......i don't noe leh...sorry if i've missed anyone!!! my eyes are real tired by now...took an hour for me to type all these cuz i gotta type and think at the same time....hope u all can appreciate my effort yah? and the reason ur name's up there is cuz u all left the greatest impression in me for the past 3 yrs...thanks for the joy and pain, laughter and tears....i'm really gonna miss ur...[which means we gotta meet up more often k?]

got a JOB!

I'm H-I-R-E-D!!!

At long bloody last....i've found myself a job...so now i don't need to browse the classifieds aimlessly. and i've realised....my days of futile efforts, religiously checkin out the recruit section for almost a week-----is kinda useless...and why would i say that? didn't i get my job from the ads? NO. it was outta pure luck and coincidence....the ads on the papers only led me to waste my time and concession fare.............lol.............So, the verdict- you should only partially trust the papers when it comes to job-hunting [however, that excludes executive positions of cos] :)

Curious on what job i've found? hehe.... it's at "accessorize" by monsoon---some UK fashion retail line......bet most of you know its boutiques....wana know more? visit http://store.monsoon.co.uk
i'll be at the Parco Bugis Juction outlet...so do drop by!!!.............and buy something!!! lol.

My work starts 1st dec, which means i can no longer slack as much as i'd love to.....In fact, i didn't think i've slacked enuf since after my A's.....hmmmm....lemme see, i've been so busy tryna finish watchin the vcds....job hunt.....sleep.....it's like, how do you even define the term "slack"? perhaps to me, it'll be a whole lazy afternoon, with just me, my couch, tv, and remote control. *thinks deeply* yeah, tt's what i call "slack"....the essence of it all will be channel surfing....muahahahaa.....so b-o-r-i-n-g. but i like!!!!

kay, today i had to go shop for my "uniform". gotta wear all black this time.....haha, but still hav2 wear black in style if not it'll be damn DULL...so i met Glyn at City hall...(she was going for perlini's silver interview btw-and she got it right away) actually i was called for the interview too but i did'nt go for it since i already got my job. after which we began our shopping spree...............

Though i love shopping and admit wanting to shop till i drop.....but it's not the case if i'm gonna shop for a purpose...it's dreadful to walk in and outta shops yet not being able to find the things you want. it's so shitty man! it's like whenever you wana find something you'll nv get to find it, and when you don't need something it starts appearing everywhere around you. i'm sure some of you may have experienced this situation day in day out. of cos...after hours of shopping, our feet and shin ached like there's no tomorrow..............and to think that some ppl even shop in heels......GOSH, what are they made of man? maybe they're legs are ran by batteries-who knows...lol.

Anyways, despite all the "PAIN" and "sufferings", i still managed to get the stuff i want. after all, it's still worth the while.......but i don't know when i'll ever get to do this again. sometimes, even the harshes things are worth cherishing. Besides, too much of a good thing will somehow be boring i think.

For now, let's just hope that the people i work with are pleasant and receptive......if not, the future entries may be dedicated for bitching.......[workplace politics are so not my cup of tea]. and i'm really not looking forward to that :) As for the pay......i'll see to that..... haha.... May everything fall into place nicely for me this dec...

David Tao: Love can world tour 2005

David Tao: Love Can world tour 2005!!!

wahaha...as you all know, i'm a DIE-HARD David Tao fan...i totally dig every of his song creation and though he's really not the type of star girls drool-over.....i'm head-over-heels in love with him. So, needless to say, i went for his concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for the 2nd time! woohoo~

I can't deny the fact that i do worship those entertainment hunks like RAIN (my imaginary bf) lol, but David Tao is really someone i admire and look up to in the music industry...i can still remember the first time his song caught me. it was the re-make of an old song by theresa theng-"yue liang dai biao wo (shei) de xin"...that song was THEEE song that made me his life-long fan...lol...and then my imaginary "husband" haha...

the first concert 'SOUL POWER'....i was totally besotted by his voice...those songs which you dream a guy will sing to you...and his sincerity of bringing love at least to the audience that night will make you melt....it's like i bet those couples who went for it together feel so 'xing fu' when he's singing "ai hen jian dan".....

yesterday's concert was great but maybe cuz i've been for the first one, i expected something more....but unlike the previous one he din really sing every song completely...probably due to the new songs and a couple of old english songs he added in the performance... anyhow, the atmosphere was really good, thou it took some time for the audience to warm up--like say, 5 mins? lol..

and yeah, there's loads of local entertainers i saw, i can't remember most of them but i can recall seeing phyllis quek, sylvester sim, Olinda cho, the superstars (who sat way way behind me) wahaha...and some other not-so-famous- ones which i couldn't be bothered [oops]. =x

and then there's this 2 Ufm DJs sitting behind me....[btw, i was just like 5m away from the stage, at the side] quite near lah, but i hate the fact tt he din walk over...hmph! kay, anyway, the two DJs were like quite 'leng jing' thru out the concert...my goodness, even if they're public figures it wouldn't hurt if they just move with the music right?? (and that sly was sitting right in front of the stage but he simply refused to stand... some more its so damn freakin dark inside.....pls lah, david tao dont even know you...) bleah...some ppl....everytime i glanced to the back all i see was the 2 of them nodding their heads...like they're so repressed ..lol...but towards the end the other DJ couln't stand it anymore, so he was like the only one standing up to dance with the song...haha...

IF my mom had booked the seats 3 hrs earlier i could've been sitting nearer to the stage---but that's not the point. i'm more concerned with the fact tt i'll be sitting with the more HAPPENNING CROWD....my block was like a bit too reserved or too conservative...no one actually stood up even when he invited us to stand....lol...my sister and i so wanted to stand but it's like we're afraid that those ppl behind will start kicking our chair and ask us to sit down...haha...and it's pretty weird for jus the 2 of us to stand anyways... so we sat there thru-out but were busy cheering and singing our hearts out.

The worst part of the entire concert wasn't really the concert but it's tha problen of not being allowed to bring in our cameras!!!!!! ARGHHHH......which means i can't take pictures of my crooning prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hate it man! should've hid it in my sis' jacket b4 we go in. the last concert allowed cameras lor. in the end we resort to using our less than plausible handphones which we desperately tried to zoom but all the pictures turned out like crap....if not, i'll be like displaying all of them in a gallery for all to see...lol...

I've sort of vowed to watch every concert and buy every CD by David TAo...and that's not gonna change...he's made me love and appreciate good music [after yrs of blindly following the deteriorating pop culture]....and his songs are really influential if you really bother to read the lyrics......and i believe many who've listened to at least one or two of his songs will acknowledge his talent...the best part of all-----he pens every single one of his songs....(unlike SOME ppl)

....how talented can he get??? EXTREMELY talented.

the unfinished battle...

Hello my 'long lost' friends! i'm back!

i haven't been blogging like for how long? a month? neh...not so bad lah...lol. after such a long break i really don't know what to write man...not that i'm just blogging for the sake of it. i know i have lots of stuff in my head just that i couldn't sort them out in proper order.

okay, so the storm is finally abating...it's funny i don't feel as relieved as i ought to be...maybe because i knew i probably won't do as well...but there's nothing much i can do now so i'll just wait till judgement day next yr.

Alright...till i figure out what to write, i really need more inspiration......now i'm totally drained.
