busy busy ::

tis been a busy day. The server crashed early in the morning with some IP conflict and later some event error.. This took us an whole morning to fix. Scouring for the PC with similar IP address as the Server. Woah. I can literally _feel_ the dependence on the IT department. Once that thing was triggered, the whole ticketing department came to a standstill. Our extensions became hotlines, with people from the rest of the other 3 departments screaming into our phones and not forgetting the boss who came after us. Its a good thing that I don't have an extension then. Haha, but I can't be happy for long, cos the boss' going to fix one perm line for me and its arriving tmr! Argh! Then the day goes on as usual..

I want to laze on a hammock around the beach on Hari Raya Puasa. Or at home. Rent a few VCDs and watch.
Its been a long time since I'd watched TV. gee.. Okay, have to learn how to switch on the TV first, then how to tune to video channel. Im like totally losing touch. The last time I wanted to watch Channel U, I took one hour to find the channel. Sounds exaggerated hor? Okay lah, ahhaa, not one hour, but close. What to do? Its a new TV set, Im not a TV person and am not familiar with the remote. Haha.. goodness. But rest assured, after that, I'll be TV savvy. And I can do video programming liaos. And Im not Bridget Jones okay. I CAN DO video programming.

today ::

am tired.
*yawn*

mosaic monitor, monitoring boss::

my monitor is going bonkers. Its in this mosaic-like state now and had a reddish tinge for the past week. Hai.. I think in 2-3 more weeks to come, its going to die a natural death.

Salsa was nice, but the teacher taught quite fast, couldn't really catch it, in the end got to figure out ourselves. But my partner'd learnt it before and pretty good at figuring out so yeay! Didn't have a hard time. But everything looks like chacha/salsa. The only dance which has a clear difference is tango. Saw a smoothly executed Tango item there. Realised :

Tango, must dance with big strides. Else, however you do it, you look like you're just walking with your cheek stuck to your partner's cheek. Boh Sey. :P

Sentosa is a good place for the event. Has got this resort feel to it. And everyone just comes out and party.

Anyway, the dancing steps reminds me of those days in BP where we did those rock and roll moves plus other dance steps which Im too ignorant to classify. But its fun even though Im not particularly sure how to dance nicely! :D Think Im going to sign up for classes...if Im not brain dead by then.. heh...

Work is tiring. I have no idea why too. Im like sitting at my own desk everyday, typing away, reading and researching on codes and checking out competitors' websites.. How tiring can it get?

Boss gave us a prep talk on Thurs, telling us not to be so nice to our subordinates, cos next time might be difficult to hand them jobs, or to tick them off. I get what he means, but Im a typical nice person leh...how? I'll be very 'kang kor'(uncomfortable) one. I decided to keep more quiet when I get to work, smile less often and be constantly scrutinizing my subordinates' performance, whilst my boss scrutinize mine. Stressed stressed!!!!!

Got a email from boss today, asking me not to put smilies on official business emails. :P Can't help. Am afraid to sound harsh. But, then again, I'll sound unprofessional right? Like talking to a little girl like that. Goodness. No credibility!

Argh! Anyway, had a great lunch with yagong and lousy gou! You made me day! Heh.. *lalalala* Love you guys! :D

butch in my company? ::

gee.. one of my colleague dresses like a butch, has mannerisms like one too. And today, while sitting around listening to my senior colleague explain the networking of the LANs in our company, she sat very close to me and touched my legs a few times. Argh! I shifted away and she moved a little towards me and we were like subtly moving round the tables' edges. :P Then while we were walking back, she walked very close to me and kept bumping into me. Mind you, the corridor is quite wide, enough for 5 person's to walk side by side.

I have nothing against homosexuals, though the Bible did state that its sexually immoral. But well, this little incident did kinda scare me a little if what I presume is true. And Im not lesbian lah. I promise!

happy birthday littlest bro!! ::

its been a tiring day. But happy nonetheless. Am finally starting full time job later. Not that I finally found a company, but I'd finally finished my project and I can commerce full time work with my travel agency company. Am grateful for the boss to be so patient, kept asking after me when Im down for church website. I think that's the company God has planned for me? Gee.. Pretty strong indications and I hadn't sent out any resumes at all? :P Thank God.

Realise your job kinda gives you an identity. You know like, when people ask you what you do, you'll be like, oh Im this this this and that. I was quite lost for words when people ask me what I do when Im doing my projects and part timing. I'll describe what I do literally. I suppose my mom faced the same question when other people asks her what I am doing. Then she told me they sounded quite sympathetic when she told them I was free lancing and proceeded to nod their head and say something like economy is bad and stuff. And to them freelancing = unemployed [which is half true] = no good. But do you know I have so many lobangs doing freelance work that I'll be 'losing' business and money if I secure a full time job? That's quite ironic. But to make my mom feel better, Im now an IT executive. Or whatever the job title is with relatively good pay. So that she won't look bad in front of her friends. [Hai, the thing about 'face-value'] And a part time sugar mommy for my friends and my brothers. Haha..

Dad cut his hand today while working on something. *ouch* Feel pain for him. Good, got motivation to work hard. Must send them on trip somewhere exotic by next coming year.

Its my littlest Draco Malfroy lookyalike brother's birthday today. My, he's all grown up now though he's still shorter than me. Woah, we'd endured 14 years of neck wringing and poking each other! Still remember he used to cry a lot when he was young and his cry was like the hum of a bus. And he likes buses so much that he'll want to be a driver of a super bus when he grows up! I can never differentiate when he's crying or play acting to be a bus driver, cos he sounds the same? Haha.. Now, he's all 14 years of his age and my teochew porridge khaki and a pretty darn good soccer player! Tried to tackle him once, but didn't managed to get the darn polka dotted ball out! Maybe its because Im not a good tackler, but hey, other older boys twice his age tried to do so too, but didn't managed to tackle him! Now that's something! Hopefully, before he gets to 16 years of age, I can manage to send him to this soccer clinic organised by British Council and several English football clubs to spot young Asia talents. Think it'll be good exposure for him. :) Happy birthday yah? And all the best for your future endeavours!

Latest family addition : Several species of amphibians. A few gold fishes are now floating in one tank and a few angel fishes, a few ikan bilis and a prawn in another. The gold fishes are so fat! Especially the really small ones. They look like they're going to burst anytime and have this O.o eyes. They don't look like they're swimming, they are like rolling around on the current! Their lil fins didn't do much justice to their size either. Anyway, I think one of it quite vain, cos it kept peering into one side of the tank which is actually a mirror. Haha, or maybe it has forgot how it looks like...then it keeps looking into the mirror. Roll, roll forgot how I look like, look into mirror, roll, roll, look into mirror. Haha, goldfishes only have 3 seconds memory. But I never like pets like these, you can't pet them too. Would prefer something which comes when you call you know. i.e a dog. Hai...miss my dog. If you are still around, you would be 10 years old now...

oh, feefay requested that I change her nickname to babe. Here goes.

Haha, much as I wanted to protect the identity of my friends, hence the nick names and all that. BUT i'd left out something quite important, I blog with my name. Argh! Defeats the purpose right?! Bleah!

Oh well.. Time to go back to sleep. It'll again be a long day tmr.

you or me ::

Is it you? Or me?
I think its you....
*self denial*


if I were you...
....................
then you'll be me!
*wahahahaha...* [ lame right? ]

exhilarating day *woah!* ::

just witness a bit of action, just HAVE to blog it! Was at S11 at Clementi just now and a commotion broke out. Someone a few tables away from us knocked a Tiger beer bottle on another person's head and blood was dramatically oozing out from his head! My goodness! I was flabbergasted! And being civic-minded, or if you like it, kaypoh, immediately reached for my friend's hp [since mine was out of batt] and dialled 995! The blood was like deep crimson, slightly darker than the normal red! Yes I know blood IS red. But its like.. i-have-a-serious-injury red! Ouch ouch! That must have hurt man! I know cos earlier on, the klutzy lil me had pong-ed my own head with my sword and as a result, lost a couple of neurons! [my neurons! what a waste!]

I was half expecting my shi xiong to unsheath his sword and flash his glorious swordplay. :P Okay lah, Im crapping. But its like shock, trauma everything all at once. After a few exchange of gibberish, another attacker tried to use his leg to zham [sorry, couldn't find the right word for it, kick is too mild] the wounded guy and whacked his milo glass on the table a couple of times. By this time, the wounded guy's shirt was soaked with blood. Poor guy! Then the 2 attackers walked away from the scene with a lady with curly bombastic shouldar-length hairdo.

Then my shi xiong and his 2 friends changed tables to sit further away from them and watched them! Argh! I couldn't believe what they did. My first thought was to run away to another coffeeshop.

Anyway, by then, I was already on my way to the neighbouring coffeeshop. But am still slightly shaken and wanted to get away lest the attackers knew Im the one who called ambulance and come after me with their Tiger beer bottles. *shudders*

Yupe, went back to my company just now and Im one step to perm position in the company. My boss reminded me to come on the usual working hours to work. And my church website is completing.. Yay! so happy...

Went for wushu today too. Learnt a lot from master coach by only talking. Yupe, he's the one with the ability to make people fly and I kid you not. We tried to manhandle him the other time in China and all of us, ALL of us ended up flat on the ground faced down and some more unfortunate ones were "flown" to the other end of the room.

He related a bit of wushu history to me and explained the meaning behind Huang Fei Hong's shadowiess kick [Wu Ying Jiao] and Yong Chun Quan[Wing Chun].

The Shadowless Kick got its name because during Huang Fei Hong's era, the guys were dressed in "ma gua". This costume with a flap of cloth on the front and back. Like a guy's version of cheong sum. So when Master Huang Fei Hong kicked his leg, the front of his "ma gua" will just erm, flap a bit and he was so fast, that people didn't see his leg coming and ended up sprawled on the floor. So hence, Shadowless Kick.

And Yong Chun Quan was invented by a girl and she had actually used it against Shaolin monks and defeated them before. *woah* And its cheorographed by observing cranes using their wings to defend themselves and them pecking the intruder/attacker/whatever. Wow.

Yay, my master coach later asked my coach to request the 2 China coaches to bring double swords to SG when they come to SG later. So that I can learn!! So nice of him! Yay! But let's hope jiao lian remembers to ask and to TEACH me. :P

Anyway, 2 or 3 China coaches will be coming to SG to perform in SP wushu's display 8 Nov. And they are really jawdroppingly good. They can do all the stunts without warm ups! And they can scream at you while backfacing you if you didn't execute your moves to their satisfaction. That's what I call "having eyes at the back of their head". I hope Zhu laoshi won't asked to see my long tassel routine. I'll be a major embarrassment. Shit.

Now that I'd done some introduction on the China laoshis, I must also say something about my own wushu team right? Yah, my 4 coaches are performing and they ARE good too. With 1 formerly from SG national team longside Vincent Ng, 2 from provisional team and 1 from China provincial team, each doing their forte weapons.. And my juniors and of course me! So you guys have to come okay! :) If the people can't convince you, then allow me to tell you this, SP wushu team is one of the best school teams around. We train like there's no tomorrow one. So your 8.5 bucks is definitely worth it. Warning though, its a overwhelmingly chinese event, like most traditional cultural clubs. So at certain points I find it quite cheesy too. :P But nevertheless, come okay. Email me for tickets! :)

haggai 2:4 ::

Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

!chijazz@chijmes ::

heard it'll be a interesting affair, but both yagong and jewel were down with headaches, so we didn't make arrangements to go. I was feeling quite headachy as well.. Must be the weather man.. :P But hope the rest of the people had a good time. :)

In the end walked around city link before going to MPH to check out new books, then to sakae sushi to have favourite salmon don and chawanmushi, reading my newsweek. *yum* Its a nice-by-myself-evening. Don't have to entertain anyone, wait for anyone. Felt quite liberated in a way.

Wanted to watch Turn Left Turn Right..
but the show is no more...

what time is it? ::

So glad I went for service this morning! :) Despite being late and lost my way, I still managed to make it to church just in time for the sermon itself! The pastor was doing his opening prayer when I crept my way into the sanctury! Yeay. Nevertheless, this morning's sermon was refreshing and indeed a "wake up call" with Pastor screaming into the mic. Pretty light hearted I must say... Not like the usual stuff, which has a uncanny ability to send me to lalaland sometimes.

The chapter is on Haggai, one of the minor prophets. Urging the people to rebuilt God's house. The book also depicted God's grace and mercy on building His house. i.e the government at that time also gave their full support to have the temple of the God of Israelites to be rebuilt. And whoever opposes it will face the wrath of the government. All in good timing - God's timing. Amazing right?

Pastor also shared an interesting anaedoct about himself while he was still a medical student, studying for his major practical exam. He emphasized on honouring God and how he will honour you back.

Apparently he was called to help out in this evangelistic event, a day before his exam. So rather unwillingly I think, he went for the evangelistic event. When he went back to his hostel, he saw the rest of the hostelites were already busy studying and felt quite discouraged for he thought he'll never be able to catch up. Anyway, he decided to draw lots to see what he will study. The lot fell on Thalassemia, so he studied it.

The next day, during his examinations, he was asked to draw lots, to see if he'll take an adult's case or paediatric case. Pastor was rather worried, cos he felt that a child will not be able to explain his medical history and will have to depend on the child's parents who in turn might not be able to explain their child's medical history fully and thus, there's a strong possibility that he might screw up his examinations. Anyway, when his examiner showed him his patient, his patient turned out to be a teenager. And guess what, the tested topic is Thalassemia!! Its too much of a coincidence ain't it? hmhmh... Of all topics. So Zun! :D

which mythological form are you? ::

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.

psalms 23: 1-6 ::

The LORD is my shepherd
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
for thou art with me
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
thou anointest my head with oil
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

wo bu nan guo ::

Came across this blog today. And my winamp happened to play Stephenie Sun's Wo Bu Nan Guo. Feel for her. *hugs* Its like a blanket you own when you're a kid. Its smelly and dirty but its still better than the new one or nothing.

Woah, reminds me of this girl who tried to jump down into the SG river while I was with yagong and cell that other day. Her friend was trying to stop her by screaming at her, pulling her away from the ledge. Apparently she was dumped by her boyfriend and she felt so bad that her sobs were uncontrollable and undeniably heartbreaking. Maybe her ex left a void too big to be filled up. Maybe she has too much expectations in that relationship. Maybe..

Anyway, does half baked relationships hurt more or fully baked and riped until rotten ones like above-mentioned?

I have no idea. Haven't started my cooking lessons yet. Im still procastinating.

"I ain't someone you come looking for when you're bored and lonely, and I ain't someone you come looking for when you need a hug.." - xtinelee

of cars and dinners ::

Its a nuah day today.
Brought my brother out for lunch and spend the rest of afternoon reading newspapers.
I have this thing for newspapers. Must read. In all kinds of languages I know-which is still chinese and english now. If possible, and if Im a couch potato, I think I'll probably be watching Channel News Asia all day. So boring right? But anyway, I like period dramas too. All the qing gong and hiak hiaks! muahahaha.. *swish swoosh of tassel of my sword*

Anyway, uncle lim treated me to a marche dinner and a chocolate cake! Yay! Thank you uncle lim. So sweet of him right? And I got to try crayfish the first time. Okay, know its not like majorly, but still. Its my first time! And I like crustaceans. Haha, how can you not like prawns amoeba? They are so mamamia! teehee...

Don't worry uncle lim, you'll find a gf soon. You have all the qualities of a wonderful boyfriend, never mind the fact about you not having said that 'your gf will be the happiest girl in the world'. Just be yourself and for goodness sake! Get to know more girls! *heh* anyway, remember that ajc junior? haha.. don't be picky lah. Oopsy. :P

Anyway, its indeed quite scary to think that most of the girls in Singapore would want their bfs/husband/whoever to have the 5Cs. Was sharing a certain straitstimes article with my tutee who was a Hong Konger. I told him, if you want to date Singaporean girls next time, make sure you have these hor. [ points to elements in article ] Then he gave me this forlorn look. So poor thing right? I think the humans in general wants the easy way out lah. I wouldn't mind the easy way out though, but there can only be 5 of a limited edition ferraris in SG and maybe 2 prestigious country clubs. But then again, if you are so rich, you can build your own country club lah. No need to join one. Anyway the most prestigious one in SG in the pyramid club I think, and its invite only.

The world is so not fair. But thank God its not the other way round. I can already imagine the stress on me if its the other way round. -shakes head- See God's reason? hahaa.. :P Again, the world is so not fair. Given a chance, I would want to afford my own Mini Cooper + an apartment at The Loft on my own! Not dependent on anyone. Then at very least, you know, I won't have to make sure my alimony fees are half of my ex-husband's properties should I ever divorce. I can sustain on my own. So in the end, Im still stressed. Dang! If all comes to naught, then okay lah. Im sure God will provide me with a 3rm flat and enough money for transport here and there and possibly good cooking skills to survive.

The key word is still contentment I guess. Have to learn to be contented. Like Stephanie Sun. But she's already rich [and attached]. So saying is easy. haha.. And of course, money is not everything in the world, but its necessary existence enables us to survive?

My, my, ain't i full of rubbish today?

jewel seemed to be lonely at home. Wish I could pop over for a slumber party or something.. wait for me to get that masque I told you about, then we can do facial together! amoeba too, seemed to have a shittier day. Eh, good luck with D! Think probably she's PMSing...

lousy gou finally managed to remember my birthday. Im happy nevertheless! :D
Im so easily bought over right? haha...

last day ::

muahahhaa, I was trying to be funny during work today.
It was raining and their was no customers in the shop. So I did a bit of miming and marching on the spot. Then the waitress and waitors at the restaurant next door was so amused by me that they did a little marching on the spot too! Haha, gotcha! I always believe in collective stupidity. heh.

Boy, ain't Im happy?! Its the last day! Though the mood was slightly sombre later on during lunch hour itself, cos the bartender came back from his friend's funeral. Felt quite sad for him. Hope he feels better.

Its quite shocking to hear of people our age dying you know. Cos we are supposed to be in the prime of our years.. enjoying life, filfuling obligations, being physically fit and stuff.

My childhood playmate died of food poisoning 1 or 2 years back. My mom's best friend's son. Someone who's like really young and promising with scores of girls going after him. But its like suddenly one day, after a BBQ and a night in the hospital, he's gone. My mom's best friend, aunty zhu was inconsolable. It affected me a bit. Who wouldn't especially that someone was someone you played hide and seek with, lend you his whole collections of bookworm books plus school textbooks the Wallie and Yakkie series, and teaches you the camera tricks to shoot a convincing slapping scene? If you are still here now, you would have been 23.

My primary school schoolmate died in a car crash, a few days away from announcement of O levels results. I still see his forlorn father sometimes. I feel and see his pain.

Ah well, the fragility of life. I wonder how will I feel when Im very old, when gatherings at funerals become more often than meeting friends to drink kopi in the morning.

Anyway, something on a lighter note.

Visited an art exhibition by my aunt's best friend. Her paintings were impressive. Particularly this piece which I like, its a vase of lilies with bold strokes of white, orange and green. Might sound like a strange combination, but the effect is good, the vase of lilies looked very striking. Then I'd visited a pottery classroom, seen how a kiln looks like. :) Its called a 'yao' in chinese, not oven, wo.. Got a spontaneous lesson on chinese culture and pottery. Interesting.

Am glad Im not a banana yet. Will try to maintain my level of chinese. Still need to help out in the next chinese digital competition man. Eeks. Had embarrassed myself in front of the secondary school kids with my poor show of chinese. :P

the late me ::

am late for work today. No excuse. :P
What to say? I mean, I can't say something like, my dog ate my alarm clock right? Or I'd just discovered tumours in my ears. Though the latter might sound pretty justifiable. heh.

Checked out friendster today, how come the whole world is on friendster except GWNBV? haiz.. cannot stalk him liaos, oops. I mean, cannot message him.

Had just came back from cell group today. Did some sharing on pending Bintan mission trip. Admittedly, Im not looking forward for it. Call me boh sim, but maybe that's just not my calling. But I hope this trip will allow me to experience what one of the more experienced missionaries had shared. A journey of self discovery through discovering other cultures and people. Experiencing what I probably would not get to experience in Singapore. You know the outback type of toilet. And no, I don't mean the one at Mahalo Beach, Sentosa or the one in our Zoo. But really, those man made toilets with no roofs or those you'll have to dig a hole to do your business. But then again, I figured that the guys in SG will probably protest my statements about not being able to experience them in SG, cos they probably had been through it all in NS. Eh... okay lah, lose it lose it.

Anyway, I would prefer to hang out with kids in their secondary school uniform in neighbourhood shopping centres sharing my life testimonies, impacting their lives with sound values [i hope]. Or do World Vision work ala educating kids in poor countries or helping them build gers for mongolian families. Perhaps, its the place. Like you know, Indonesia is too near to SG - 1.5 hrs boat ride away. Not exotic enough... argh! But I've got this strange feeling that I might came back a different person. Hopefully I won't kenna gong-tao. *choy* Whatever it is, Im feeling rather contridictory. What do I want anyway? And what does God want from me anyway? He made Cell Group Leader to sms me to go, so I went. Even to the extent of asking my mom whether I can go, in hope that she'll say 'no', then I'll have a valid reason not to go. But she said 'yes'. So here I am, signed uped for the trip to Bintan come Nov.

Really grateful and happy that the cell group had a mini celebration for me. I pray that God will honour the missionary's prayer for me! :)

Gave this site to Cell Group Leader today. She's so going to discover my dark side. But Im just being honest. Dunno why, I can't bear to bitch to her. Its just so unedifying. But I do hope, it'll be recognised as some form of outlet to vent my frustrations if you get what I mean?

Goals for this new year [>]
I shall...
1. Save enough money to bring my parents for a holiday!
2. Attend church more often, starting from this sunday.
3. Visit more Christian websites. Incorporate God in my internet lifestyle. heh.
4. Be more punctual. Shall get out of house at least 45 minutes before meeting time.
5. Be cheapo. Utilize coupons and discounts to save.
6. Start a business by end of this year.

Sakura asked me to help him translate 3 paragraphs of biography from chinese to english. I think my chinese really suck big time. :P Needs brushing up.

After blogging a few posts, I realise my english is not that fantastic as well. Urgh! Jiu Ming!

Am a goner now.
Ta!

i'd quitted! ::

[Changes] swimming costume is now changed to feefay upon her request. *humph* i still prefer the former though.

[Announcement] would-be-architect's and xuel's birthday today! [My today is 15 Oct by the way] Felt sad for would-be-architect, she's piled under lotsa work. *hugs* Take care yah? Thanks for inspiring me! Thanks xuel too! For being such a kind sister-in-christ, always encouraging and be able to find lil funnies in situations! Thanks for showing me the faith in you and teaching me to have faith! *hugs* Be blessed you both!

I'd quitted from my job! eh..yeay! told the manager that my dad didn't like me working in a f&b environment which was true. Didn't know until my mom told me the other day. So that gives me a nice excuse to quit. But work was relatively enjoyable. 2 tables of customers told me they'd enjoyed their lunch hour with us and this couple from netherlands came back to lunch here again after yesterday cos the lady said the food was so delicious! Then she gave me a namecard and I chatted with her a while, about why they're in SG. Apparently they are here for some sales talk. Think Multilevel Marketing. Did I mentioned that her son look like Prince William? :P

And my boss from restaurant bought Swensen's ice-cream cake today. Suaku lil me had a slice.. It was.. erm, wow! Shit, should have bought that kinda cake for myself hor? hahaha... Maybe buy for my lil brother's birthday since I don't have hundred bucks to give him this time. [I gave my first younger bro hundred bucks for his birthday and my youngest bro had been dropping big hints that I should do the same.] :P Sounds like good bargain, cos we [ the 2 elder siblings ] had never had an ice-cream cake before for birthday. Lucky pig, eh, I mean snake.

Anyway, did I mention the Prince William lookyalike? teehee...

My boss from the travel agency is back. I know, cos he'd emailed me upon his return... *stressed grin* Why stressed grin, cos he already had projects waiting for me to do. Which is a happy, yet in a way thoroughly depressing thing all over again. My hair-wanking days are back. ><' But Im looking forward for it. I mean the pay. :P

Went down to NUS today to pass yagong the artist impression. Hope it looks together with the rest of the other documents. So pai seh, got to borrow a stranger's hp cos I couldn't find yagong and jewel and thanks to my absent-mindedness-had misplaced my hp. Then I finally met up with everyone at the swaps table. *yay*

Afterwhich, jewel and me went to JP to retrieve my hp. So sweet of her, goodness, she missed one lecture to take a trip down to help me get the hp! Thankies!! *touched*

My primary school classmate kept my hp for me. What a coincidence right? And I almost couldn't recognise him for he had grown much taller and his features changed a lot. *yay* Nice to see familiar faces! Very grateful that they'd kept the phone for me. ;)

Then jewel and me got on with our lil discussion on religion. I guess, since jewel is going to type it out as some term paper, then might as well post her term paper here after she's done with it. Then everyone will know what questions she'd asked and what kind of response I'd given her. I don't have to type here liao. Hahaha...must not reinvent the wheel mah.

Had arrived for wushu after practice ended. Turned out that they were only practising for only 1 hr, and only 1 senior, which is me turned up. Hmm..

Watched Qian Nv You Hun [ last episode ]. There's this part on dreams and reality. Reminded me of this story I read in my cousin's place. About this lady, she was like ugly, fat and unpopular in real life. Then one day she dreamt that she became slim and attractive and had a completely different lifestyle she didn't have real life. The kind of lifestyle she wanted, but couldn't get in real life. You know like, going out of dates, having a good job and handsome husband and stuff. Halfway, she realised she can sleep for as long as she likes. And when she woke up and didn't like what she sees in real life, so she decided to go back dreaming. And in her dreams, her 'life' picked up where she'd left it earlier. Then she decided that she didn't like real life anymore, and continued her dreams until she had children and died.

Morbid right?

Anyway, Qian Nv You Hun is a pretty nice show. At times could be thought provoking. Eh, okay there were also pretty predictable and lame moments. Anyway, how come Zhuge Liuyun look as young as he did 20 years before? *scratch head* And Xiao Qian's face was like yagong's! Disgustingly smooth skin! *boohoo* I want!!..

silly, bitchy, lil me ::

Saw uncle lim sitting at the foot of the staircase of the mrt station while on the way to work today. *yay* Tis really comforting to see a familiar face when you know, when you are obviously so not looking forward to work. Then he promised to dine in the cafe after his interview with this professional counselling company for this local community project. *double yay-though there was a bit of blackmailing afterwards* Managed to practise my taking of orders on him and his friend, who well, incidentally turned out to be my former schoolmate ala guy-with-curly-hair-same-class-with-nice-backview-guy!! *triple yay*

The start of the day is going smoothly and well... even distributing flyers was a breeze and the manager thought I'd thrown the whole stack of flyers away cos I'd finished distributing 'too fast'. Well, stuff like that do get done fast. Especially so if a super polite, award winning courtesey distributor is doing it. Think only 1 in 10 people rejected my flyers. *heh* Erm, or maybe its because they are just interested in the food or the place Im standing is a good spot and many people just whizzed my way. Anyway, I digress, that's not the point...

Allow me to continue...

Until, the erm, [drums roll] perpetually-blackfaced-bitch comes appears.

A little bit of background, this perpetually-blackfaced-bitch(PB2) was initially a meet/hug-occasionally-getalong-pretty-nicely friend who dragged me into this current f&b position because they are seriously short of workers and are still looking for full timers. Not wanting to waste the time I have, since the boss who commissioned me to work on the Church website is away in US, I took on this f&b job after finishing the website. That boss kinda promised me a full time job after I'd finished the website, hence the lil gap.

Okay, back to the PB2. Really, she's _really_ getting on my nerves. Im totally new to the f&b industry and well, there's a lot to learn. I just don't understand why she has to be so delibrate and sneaky, waiting for me to make mistakes so that she can _politely_ correct me. Like the previous answering handphone incident and numerous. And thank me for listening to her? C'mon loh, get real, I thought we are friends. Sorry..its 'were' past tense now.

If we were friends, you would at least lunch with me right at very least on the first day? Even on account that you introduced me to the workplace, you would at very least do the above? Leave me to tag after you and your termed 'scandal-mc-moustached-guy' when we went to distribute flyers on the 2nd/3rd day? Telling me that I'd missed an act of service only after I'd finished serving the customer? Why didn't you want to tell me beforehand? I thought customer service doesn't work this way. [ Sorry getting a bit incoherent here, but you get what I mean right?] you know plain well that each worker is only entitled a meal i.e either pasta or soup a day, why did you reply indignantly that I should go ask the manager whether I can have extra soup after pasta? Then have the manager telling me rather sternly [cos he probably thinks Im this gian peng person] that I am only entitled to type of food a day. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT responsible for your black face okay! NOR I am responsible for the fact that I get along well with your foes, the new guy whom you intro-ed to work too!

If you have issues with the bartender and the other waitress, that doesn't mean I need to have issues with them too, even though you did explicitly tell me that your partial intention to drag me to work here is to find 'more of your own people'. That doesn't give you the right to show me a black face when I talk to them, nor talking in a more friendly manner to the customers you are serving. We don't get tips loh. *duh*

Okie, that sums up the rantings for the past one week. This is bloggerathy man. I feel MUCH better.

Anyway, thank God for uncle lim and uncle tay [since guy-with-curly-hair-same-class-with-nice-backview-guy cannot be used cos his hair ain't as curly as last time], whose presence preserved my sanity for the moment. Thankies!!!!! *lalala*

Anyway, pardon the organisation error, be glad that the ranting you'd read is updated as of this afternoon. So I shan't elaborate the lousy afternoon portion any longer.

Dinner was fantastic. ^^ Am so happy around my friends [torre, jewel, ya-gong] whom I can whine, bitch, pig out with. The food was great! [Seafood platter, Fish and Chips! *yum* *still feeling euphoric from it*] Am sorry if I have to subject you all to -points above- But I really love you guys loadz and of course, feefay too who called yesterday[all the way from US]! Miss your presence. If you were here, you probably could shut the crap up from the next table who were making a lot of noise! *evil grin* kids..

Got a short skirt and spagh top from them. Hmm, looks really sporty, but I think the skirt is a bit too short to wear out. :P Erm, dearies, I already have 12 spagh tops.. so don't waste money, cos I don't wear them by themselves often. Nevertheless, really appreciate it. Will try to be more erm.. 'hip' and not be lazy next time when I do out with you guys. Thanks so much!!! *hugs*

eh, anti climax of the day, I'd left my hp at the restuarant. How cock eyed can I get?! Eeks.

first day of twentieth year ::

Dear Neurons,
Why is it that you all go dead when I want to write something? I have so many things I feel I ought to blog recently, but you all, have to fail me? Wakey wakey. -pokes dendrites-

feefay called me today! All the way from US! Am so touched. She really makes effort to call me. And even chose time properly! Take good care of yourself yah? *hugs*

Am glad to have met up with jewel after lunch, had light discussion about how "religious" I am. I realised I can't answer most of her questions explicitly due to different viewpoints in what is religion. Discussed about evolution and creation. Shall blog more about it next time.

Went for dinner with cell.Its quite scary, cos I wasn't exactly expecting his parents plus siblings. :P Thought he'll led the way cos he's paying for my dinner. And its only polite that I allowed him to. Was quite filling and pretty tasty I must say. *yum* Thanks amoeba!! Appreciate that.

Yeay! Ive got my own blog!
Hope to have more stuff coming up!
This entry shall be the starting post of my twentieth year!
