Blah...Blah...Blah...

Ugh.

2010-11-22T22:08:00.003+08:00

I made a fool out of myself today, though it's not entirely my fault.

Apparently the lecturer switched the classroom to the 3rd floor, and I'm also moved to the other class. So I thought I'll be in the same class as the one I was in in the previous module. Then my friend called and told me to go down so I did and I thought both classes were at the wrong classrooms, so I told the people in 'my' class to go down, swap classrooms actually.

Then this created a big confusion, although nobody went down, except me. I'm so ridiculous.

Anyway, so I went to my new class, and blah-ed, since today's just briefing and stuff. Then went off to Art Friend and Art Mark to help my classmates to get their Copic markers. I think I only spent a total of like maybe $50+, most of them spent waaaaaaaaaaay over my limit, at $70 ~ 80+, so I thought - Shit, my class has so many rich people.

After that, went to Singapore Arts' Museum for pictures for tomorrow's assignment, blah-ed till probably 6PM then went for dinner, then headed home, while my classmates went to watch Harry Potter/Megamind. I'd like to join them actually, but I'm pretty cashless atm, so I headed home anyway.

So, my life's pretty much schoolwork nowadays, nothing really much actually.

Update

2010-11-05T00:47:00.002+08:00

Sorry for not updating although I said I would update my blog frequently, been busy ever since school re-opened and never really had the time and mood to blog.

So anyway, I'm currently taking Product Visualisation and Human Centered Design, both equally stressful modules, at the same time.

Product Visualisation actually wasn't this stressful until the lecturer told us to get Copic markers worth like $5.50 per pen and Canson papers that can only be bought at Takashimaya. I don't really see what's the difference between normal A4 papers and papers with weird names and textures, the marker ink still flows to the back. Markers-wise, I need a wide range of them to bring out the 3D effect of the product, so yeah, basically, it's a financially-stressful module.

As for Human Centered Design, the lectures are so damn boring and the lecturer is basically reading off the slides, luckily that only lasted for a week, I only have a very faint idea of what to do, but doing the project won't be fun, I'm sure. 5000-word report, in your own words, in addition to your sketches and your final design.

So like, I wonder if i'll survive this block.

Nothing much

2010-09-29T18:51:00.002+08:00

Holidays started and I'm really bored and as much as I hated going to school for 3 hours of nothingness, staying at home is even more boring.

So what I've been doing these few days was watching anime I missed due to the busy curriculum and stuffs.

Oh before I forget, check out the new song titled - Tenshi no Fureta yo a.k.a I Touched An Angel. It showed on K-ON! and I totally fell in love the first time I heard it, makes me want to learn the piano too.

Now I just thought of how lucky those kids were who were forced to learn the piano by their parents, whereas my mum wouldn't let me. LOL

Hopefully there'll be more fun things that'll come throughout my holidays, =/ Shall end post here, till then, ciao.

Hurr.

2010-09-23T00:40:00.002+08:00

Module ending in a day's time, like wow, I've got like one day left to do my Final Assignment which I've hardly ever started and some of my classmates are still in the middle of the last few assignments.

While others are having their God-knows-how-many-months holidays, we're still drawing the daylights out of our poor souls and it's all thanks to the Block system.

For those who do not know, it's a timetable that is only used by the design school of TP, meaning 1 module will only last for 4 weeks, subtracting away the weekends and the one-day study break of every week, making it only 16 days of crash course for each module. It's worse when we have double modules.

I'm so damn shagged everyday that I don't feel like going to school tomorrow. Basically it's just briefing and more briefing and then we're left to do our own work, wouldn't have gone if attendance wasn't being marked.

Clique

2010-09-14T22:30:00.002+08:00

I noticed I haven't been posting a lot lately even though now I'm back to blogging. Basically it's just my boring everyday life that I doubt anyone would be interested. I don't think anybody really reads my posts anyway.

To start of today's post, I'll just talk about the current module, Freehand and Perspective drawing, totally not what I expected, not that it's not fun or anything but the workload is rather heavy, of course it adds on to our procrastination. However, I'm drawing things which I hated drawing, mostly buildings and complicated robots, which helps me step out of my comfort zone in a way or another. All I've been drawing throughout the course were mostly plants and flowers and plant-inspired designs which I find them boring after drawing them for such a long time.

Classmates-wise, I think it's probably me, I don't really belong to a particular clique; not that I don't like my classmates, they're all nice people, pretty friendly too, although arguments pop out of nowhere in between. There are some people which I'm not close with, since I'm the sit-on-the-fence type of person when it comes to making friends, I only talk to those who talked to me first, other than that, I just mind my own business.

Recently, I find myself getting closer to my usual gang in secondary school, although we don't really meet up and go out or anything but through MSN chatting I found myself being more open.

Why am I talking about me and my friends? I don't know why either, it just comes to my mind when I'm writing this I guess.

Movie

2010-09-09T19:36:00.002+08:00

Just came back from Vivo after watching Cats and Dogs : Revenge of Kitty Galore with my usual Sec school gang.

We were supposedly going to watch Vampires Suck but they were late so we watched this instead.

The movie is okay, I guess, if you've got the spare time and money to watch, by all means you should. But I wouldn't really recommend it though, it's basically Hero tries to save the world from villain, traditional.

Anyway, I think I haven't blogged much about the new module yet. So far, everything's still okay, but I can get quite stressed at times, wondering if I'm doing too much or too little. Anyway, the new lecturer's good so there's nothing much to say about him.

Not sure if I really like the block system or not cuz we're supposed to do 40 sketches in 4 weeks and with the homework we have and our laziness added together, it's pretty impossible.

So I guess that's all I have to say for this module, it's fun but I prefer Drawing Essentials.

Quit

2010-09-05T18:06:00.003+08:00

I am as of now, no longer a part-time employee of Tung Lok, Ruyi.

The people there are great, friendly colleagues, nice working conditions, pretty slacky on weekdays, the pay is pretty great too, you get paid on the day you work too.

However, I quit the job since the managers are stingy misers.

Okay, I'll explain what happened.

After work, Manager A asked me to deliver something to the new outlet at Terminal One.

I just accepted since he's paying me 30 mins extra, but I said I'm in a hurry anyway.

He was speaking in a weird accent since he's Filipino - he was giving me directions on how to go there by bus.

I asked him twice, still couldn't understand, so she asked me to take a taxi instead.

So I did, reached there, got my receipt, total fare - $20.20, tried to claim but Manager B said no because I was supposed to take a bus instead.

I explained, then he called Manager A then they quarrelled, then it got so Fucked up, Man. B told me to go back to my outlet which is really far away and settle with Man. A

Then at that point, I got so pissed, I felt like they were treating me like a toy.

So I SMSed Man. A, I wrote - Never mind, I'll pay. I don't want to work anymore.

It's like WTF man, what is a meager $20 to your company? Each customer that comes in to buy your overpriced yet not-so-nice food can easily amount up to $50, so what the eff is wrong with you guys not being able to reimburse my 20 bucks?

Work

2010-08-27T00:00:00.002+08:00

Been working for like 6 days at Ruyi and I gotta admit, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the time I worked in Bee Cheng Hiang.

For one, meals are provided and you get to choose from the menu, it pays 6 bucks per hour as compared to BCH, which only pays 5/hr. It's air-conditioned; no more sweating like pigs on fire. Secondly, it's pretty slack-ish other than the mealtimes. Lastly, as a part-timer, instead of waiting one oh-so-long month for your pay to arrive, you get paid on the day depending on how many hours you work, how shiok is that?

Just one setback is that there are lots of tourists all over the world, from Cantonese-speaking Hong Kongers to Japanese and Koreans, it's kinda hard to get the queue flowing. However, it kinda shows me the courtesy of people, not too sure if courtesy is the right word for it but most of the time, the Americans, they dispose of their bowls and trays themselves instead of having us do it for them, which I think is pretty admirable, they're also pretty friendly, unlike some stupid asshole from God-Knows-Where who called me an effing Prick today. All I did was teach the new girl how to do the cashiering, she made a mistake, which is pretty normal for newcomers and the guy flared up at me. It's not like he lost any money, it's just the order that's wrong, why so serious?

Ah.. Idiots are everywhere, I guess I should've known better, shouldn't have wasted my time posting about him, but since I already did, thou shalt not waste thy effort : >

Anyway, after work today, I saw this taxi which drove past and the advert on it totally cracked me up.

It said - www(dot)CatchCheatingSpouse(dot)com(dot)sg and I was kinda surprised by such an ad. I mean, if you are to help people catch their cheating spourses then at least send private e-mails so individuals may or may not know, catch my drift?

Anyway, I think I should hit the sack, working at 8 tomorrow and I hope my manager doesn't extend my working hours.

Bored.

2010-08-20T16:47:00.002+08:00

I'm having the YOG holidays now.

So basically it's just stay-at-home-and-rot for me. While people from Business/ IT / Applied Science are mugging during their study breaks, I'm staying at home surfing the Net, Facebooking, watching Anime and new dramas.

One might think; this is the life, probably, but no, seriously, I'm doing all these because I'm bored. Even though there are so many new games released this year, none of them really kept me entertained, it's mostly play-a-few-days-and-quit that kind of thing.

Anyway, went to Resorts World with a classmate yesterday for a job interview, I wouldn't really call it an interview, but more of like a Job Scope instead. The Filipino guy was speaking in English to us but we really couldn't understand anything he says, just nodded our heads and left since he told us he'll call us later on for our job schedules starting next week.

After that, walked around and bought some bread from BreadTalk, and hell, the Chocolate Croissants were super good. Lurked around the place till 4 and caught the bus back, reached home and started to rot again.

Meh, though we only went out for a short time, it was kinda fun I guess, reason being it's my first time going to Sentosa like after god-knows how many years. Not that many things to see though, some were under construction while the others were closed or something.

Well, I guess that's all I have for now, back to rotting.

Back

2010-08-15T17:37:00.003+08:00

Back from hiatus, life's been boring without something for me to rant on.

Anyway, it's always been school and school and school.

For one, this block has been disastrous, from classmates quarrelling over minor things to irritating assignments from the lecturer that just make us go to war unprepared, I really hate it.

Sometimes I say to myself - I should just keep quiet and remain unfriendly like I was in 2D Art and Drawing Essentials. Somehow, when people know one and other better, all the quarrels and fights break out. Although I've never got myself involved in them, just hearing my classmates quarrel just totally spoil my day.

Friendship-wise, I did get closer to some classmates but at the same time, I kinda got closer to the person I never liked. Yes, everyone in class is great, but there's this one particular guy I can't really stand and he just gets on my nerves everytime he talks to me. He uses other people for his benefits and then just leave them to die afterwards, yeah and I understand that our course is kinda competitive if we want to make it into the industries after graduation but we're only in effing Year 1!

For classes, Design Methodology was okay, fun at first, horrible at the back. Engineering Drawing is worse, from horrible to umm... horrible-r? Just when we thought the worst is over, it's still lingering around.

To add in to my Suay-ness, the clothes I bought online were like.. 10cm shorter than what the site described. 5 bucks flew away just like that. How nice, ain't it.

Hiatus

2010-07-20T19:28:00.000+08:00

Blog will be on hiatus till further notice.

DSC

2010-07-13T21:30:00.002+08:00

Got in DSC Sub-Comm. I'm neither happy nor sad, basically it's about the camp thing, one thing for sure - I really hate camps, I don't like to stay up for the whole night and I really need my sleep.

It's not too late to turn back though, I just have to ignore the message and just wait until the camp is over. But it'll kinda leave a bad impression of me on others since we were interviewed before we got selected. I guess I'll just go and try my best to stay up. Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to make a few more friends and meet up in the afternoon for extra activities instead of just going straight home after school.

Anyway, I'll decide that later.

I just got a haircut this afternoon and I'm not liking it, not a single bit, I look some some nerdy primary school kid, well I guess some hairspray should do the trick but meh, it's not like it'll keep it up all day. I guess I should go for some other hairstyle when my hair grows long again, Grow HAIR GROW!

Gathering.

2010-07-10T00:48:00.003+08:00

Went to class gathering at Jem's today, honestly speaking, it was one of the best gathering I've ever had since... I dunno.

Kinda reluctant to go at first, since there are so many stuffs to be handed in by next week - 3D Walkman model, Crafted Spindle, Journal Entries, ASEAN City 2030 Image-board, Final Assignment.

But I'm glad I went, got to know some friends better, all the weird talk and the laughter. Heh, I also got to try Vodka, taste was kinda strong at first, but came to like it so I had a bit more, surprisingly I didn't go high and start laughing by myself.

Really looking for more gatherings in future.

As for school, it's been pretty hectic if you still can't tell from my 2nd paragraph on this post. I'm only 30% done with everything.

Went for DSC interview for Sub-Comm today, since I've got no CCAs or have not joined any clubs, I guess this one could earn me some SEAL Points and also prolly let me while away my time in the boring afternoons.

HDB Hub

2010-07-07T19:48:00.005+08:00

Meep, was supposed to update my blog earlier on, but Blogger had some weird crap error so my post didn't get processed.

Anyway, I was supposed to go for a BBQ last week, but my friend forgot to SMS me the timing, then another of my friend called to ask why I wasn't there, after my dinner -.- Then I was like, meh, I'm too full, no point for me to go there anyway.

10 bucks flew away like that, oh well. Shit happens.

Anyway, HDB Hub for DH&C today, pretty boring I would say, but the randomness after that made up for the boredom during the tour. MacD's and WX's fetish for mixing all sorts of sauces and trying it with fries, followed by a little shopping at Popular, hogging the Korean Music Section saying - OMG! It's (insert band's name here), buy for me!!!

Left shortly after that,headed home and now I gotta rush for my journal entry for DH&C, till next time~

Meep

2010-06-26T15:15:00.002+08:00

Okay, first of all, new song - No Other by Super Junior, if you haven't noticed.

They ended BONAMANA promotions and will be promoting No Other on Music Bank and other Music programs from now on.

Lesson's been pretty substandard lately.

I tried making a phone with styrofoam and it ended up in bits and pieces, not my ideal start of a new module.

I just hope it ends quickly.

Design History & Culture on the other hand was really great though. It involves lots of writing which I haven't done so for a long time. I missed brainstorming ideas for what to write on, thinking twice before I put in a more profound word rather than a simple one.

However, we have to watch lame movies which nobody probably heard of and write our reflections on it. Well it doesn't really matter though, as long as I get to do lots of writing, I'm contented.

Model-Making

2010-06-22T23:29:00.002+08:00

Pfft, from now on, I'll be having 6 hours of lessons everyday.

9 ~ 12 and then 12 ~ 3.

Current module : Model-Making and Design History & Culture.

DH&C will start tomorrow, whereas M-M is pretty scary.

M-M is more D&T-like and can be pretty interesting, however the worshop is super hot, you can like sweat buckets inside.

Started on handphone model-making. Drafting drawing and all, machines tomorrow.

Talk by care-person today in the LT was horrible. First, it was boring and then he talked about safety in the workshop. Showed us some accidents that happened in workshops over the world. Nice way to make the few of us who were falling asleep, awake.

There was like this Indian girl from I dunno where, she had long pigtails and it got stucked onto some spinning machine and half her face's skin got ripped off her head and the doctors managed to sew it back onto her face and she's still alive, working as a nurse now.

There's also this man, who's arm got stucked inside a ginormous printer and somehow his skin got ripped, if he tried to pull it out, his arm would've been gone but he didn't.

Basically after the talk, everyone was like - I going quit PID! Teacher tomorrow you only see 5 students here.

CDS

2010-06-19T00:43:00.002+08:00

Woke up at 9.30am yesterday for CDS selection.

It's kinda stupid that everyone's stoning in front of their PC waiting for the thing to be up.

At 10AM I logged in, got the Service Unavailable thing, so by 10.10AM I got pissed from waiting so I spammed the Refresh and finally got to the CDS Selection page.

I dunno why some people get the choose Korean, but anyway here are my choices :

1. Creative Writing

2. Intro to Japanese

3. Public Speaking

4. Intro to Management

5. Intro to Marketing

I wasn't really interested in the last 2 courses but they were better than the others, I don't wanna learn Italian either so I thought I should put Management and Marketing since my course would prolly touch on it sooner or later.

Well I guess that's all I have to say, since holidays gonna be over soon =/

Final Assignment.

2010-06-06T14:21:00.004+08:00

Sorry for not updating my blog for such a long time, not that I've been busy, but the series of events that happened recently is just plain boring.

I'll just share what happened in class nowadays.

1st Assignment - B

2nd Assignment - B+

3rd Assignment - B+

4th Assignment - A

5th Assignment - C (drawing human faces, the hardest thing to draw :<)

6th Assignment - B or B+

One A so far, while some other classmates have like 2 or 3.

But I'm just really glad that the Final Assignment for this module will be on transport, title - Be Hip, Go Public, instead of drawing human faces :>

Speaking of Final Assignment, remember the green-face lady with fanciful colored hair I did for my first Module? If you forgot about it, or have no idea what I'm talking about, look at the posts somewhere below this one.

Anyway, I only got a C+ for it, and I'm really depressed. My classmates were shocked too, but meh, to those who aren't really able to appreciate art, they'll say it's nice, but to the professionals it's probably just some Primary school work.

Okay, enough of that, just that little paragraph was enough to make me feel depressed again.

I've been having problems thinking about what I should draw for the Final Assignment for this module, title is above, highlighted in Cyan, it should include something that's popular among teens nowadays and public transport.

If anybody have any idea what I can draw , do tag me, or SMS if you have my number by today or tomorrow, all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

P.S I feel so cheapskate asking for ideas on my blog. LOL

Pixar

2010-05-25T23:45:00.003+08:00

Pixar at Science Centre today.

Was supposed to do 5 sketches, did 3, 1 crappy one so I tore it out, left with 2 and I'm not gonna care about it.

Done with the stupid pineapple exercise, one can probably see how pissed I was doing it by looking at how I shaded that thing.

MacD after Pixar with classmates, I talked a little bit more, and I'm happy with that, kinda progressing actually.

Real-life stuffs aside.

I heard SJ's coming to SG for some Samsung thing, buy a phone = get to see SJ.

But meh, I'm not that crazy to spend so much just to see them and get a crappy Samsung phone, considering there'll be crazy fangirls screaming their hearts out since it's gonna be SJ's first time coming to SG.

Bye 2DArtFun, Hello DrawEss!

2010-05-17T20:38:00.002+08:00

My first module ended last week - 2D Art Fundamentals.

Today is the start of my new module for block 2 - Drawing Essentials.

Fridays are off-days, unless wanted back in school by lecturer for further lessons.

Basically, we'll be learning toning and shading, just what I've always been the weakest in.

Final assignment will be 2 weeks later, pretty fast huh, considering that lessons are only 3 hours everyday.

You guys may think I'm having it easy, but no, after block 2, I'll be studying 2 modules at the same time so... I'll probably be busier than anybody else after block 2. =/

Final Assignment.

2010-05-14T00:10:00.002+08:00

After 4 days of going to school early in the morning at 9am and then reaching home at 5 or 6, I'm finally done with my Final Assignment - paint a 1m x 1m mural of something related to abstract, applying what you have learnt during the first 3 weeks of school.

I haven't used paint for a long time so there was a some hesitation before I started painting. But here's the end result.

Close-up

Full image.

Sorry if you can't see the colour tone properly, I used the darkest blue I have in my paint set but it's still pretty light, considering the lighting too.

My teacher asked me to borrow some makeup for the cheeks but meh that'll be so unhygienic, so I decided to let it be like this.

Constructive criticism are more than welcomed, if you wish to bitch about it then you might as well get lost.

M.Day

2010-05-09T22:17:00.003+08:00

Just came back from Orchard Hotel, went to celebrate Mother's day there with family and also my aunt's family.

Food was great, especially the crayfish dish, I think I ate like 3 whole crayfish @_@

After that basically just slacked around talk cock sing song then left for home.

There's no school tomorrow but I'm going back anyway for my final assignment, hopefully I won't screw my whole mural up, after all the preparations and time and effort I spent on it, I'm expecting at least an Above Average type of work. If it's allowed I'll take a pic of the mural and post it up when it's done.

Thumbnail sketches - done 12, but final sketch is chosen so I don't have to do the other 36.

Colour Scheme - Done, all 5, within 2 hours.

Final draft - 3-quarters done, will finish it in school tomorrow.

Ho hum, I needa get a job now, transport fees and mostly art material funds are making me broke.

Stressed

2010-05-05T21:45:00.003+08:00

I think I'm feeling stressed after 6 months of slack thanks to my final assignment.

Decided to go with an abstract theme but I feel like throwing my work aside.

Lecturer told us draw 48 thumbnail sketches by tomorrow, which is totally crazy and I've only done 8.

Furthermore, there's still the colour scheme and the final masterpiece to work on.

Giving up is not an option now, now that I've put in so much effort to get into this course, I just can't give up halfway, gotta hang in there, must hang in there.

Motivation please.

Cuteness overload.

2010-05-03T01:28:00.002+08:00

So I was talking to Lee on Skype, he shared these with me

Fuzzy Fuzzy Cute Cute

Nom Nom Nom Nom

I understand the voices are a bit annoying but just look at the animals, their cuteness are enough to balance it all, don't they?

Accomplishment

2010-05-01T13:42:00.004+08:00

I just had one of the most accomplishing moments in my life.

For my course, I'm supposed to do 50 still life sketches, like sceneries, landscapes etc.

My specialty have always been anime and cartoon, but today, I decided to try my hands on still life, not because for the sake of doing my sketchbook, but I also hope to improve my shading skills.

So I watched this video and drew my first still life rose.

This is my end result, shading still not that good, but I'm proud of myself.

I don't get it.

2010-04-28T22:35:00.002+08:00

I seriously don't understand my parents.

During the Holidays, when I received the announcement that I'm going to study Mechanical Engineering, my parents urged me to appeal to TP to tell them whatever I wanted to study, at that point of time, I'd already given up all hope and have accepted my fate.

So, I appealed twice, once via the online thing and then I wrote a letter after that since the online thing was unsuccessful.

So about a month later, TP gave me a reply, saying that I'm accepted into the course I wanted and lots of things happened.

And now that school have started, we're just learning the basics, mostly drawing, sketches, colouring etc. My parents complained that it's too slack.

Then I'm like, come on, man. This is just the basics. If you don't like me doing this then why urge me to even appeal in the first place. Fucking irritating, totally spoilt my mood for everything.

Random rant : Not enough lunch money, with all the stupid materials to buy -.- lunch is never possible, in school.

My Class.

2010-04-26T22:32:00.002+08:00

School so far have been pretty laxed, basically we study about 3 days a week, lessons last about 2 to 3 hours and we're dismissed.

Of course, there were assignments to be done, sketchbook to be updated etc.

Anyway, talk by director this morning, supposedly to end till 12.30, but everything was kept short and sweet so we were released at 11.15. Bus-ed to Tampines Mall with the other PID class, a total of 50+ people, for lunch and movie.

The company was okay though, I don't know many of them but they were friendly enough, I just don't really like the people that are of legal age that smokes, kinda piss me off actually.

I didn't go for the movie after that, basically I only brought 6 bucks, spent $3 on lunch and also, they were watching Toy Story 3 or Dead Knight, which I have no interests in, so I left early.

APEL starts next week, needa go back to school on Saturdays, oh brother.

Random Stuffs.

2010-04-24T00:32:00.003+08:00

Yehey~ I have Fridays and Mondays off, but I'll have to attend talks on some Mondays.

School so far was okay. Made a few acquaintances but we never actually talked, even if we did, it's always about our classwork.

Went to check on the CCA Recruitment Drive after class yesterday, quite interested in Tennis and Squash, but what turned me away is that they have to put everyone trial first, which I think is pointless.

Some people are slow learners, so if he can't do well on the trials he'll be kicked out?

I think I'm gonna create my own CCA, exclusively for myself - swimming, twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, 3 hours per session. It all boils down to self-discipline though, whether I want to go or not.

Assignment-wise, it's always drawing, drawing and more drawing, but I'm quite okay with it actually.

Now I'm just trying to decide whether I should go for the double class outing next Monday, the other PID class wants to have a joint outing with my class, lunch and movie together. But I'll probably just go for the Lunch outing, since there're no movies that have attracted me recently.

Oh, before I end off, I saw a few more familiar faces.

Eunice - At the Laptop place, after classes.

Alfie - At the CCA Recruitment Drive.

Marven - At the bus-stop while waiting for my bus.

P.S It's really pathetic how I didn't even get to taste the food at my school, not the whole of TP, but the Design School. The Western food I heard was really nice but it's always filled with people so that's basically why I couldn't get a chance to eat there. Must definitely find a chance to eat there, someday, somehow.

First day of school.

2010-04-19T19:00:00.003+08:00

So I was blog-hopping around yesterday and I happened to pass by the TP4Me blog.

There was this announcement on the tagboard saying that there'll be a talk at 8.30 today.

Okay, so I got myself ready and hit the sack.

This morning, my dad drove me to Boon Keng Station and I waited for Bus 23 to arrive since TP's route wasn't the same as my dad's route to work.

Upon reaching the Convention Center, TCC for short, I saw many well-dressed people of both genders, looking at what I'm wearing... I thought they'll probably think I'm some poverty-stricken student.

That's not the main point though, the thing is that everyone I saw there were probably Seniors and Juniors I felt weird being the only Freshman there. Luckily, someone was shouting - 'All Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors please proceed inside!', so that was the time I felt relieved.

Nothing much happened inside, Prize Presentation, Overseas trip talk, Videos and School Rules.

After that, went for class, surprisingly I was able to find mine, but as usual, quiet as a mouse.

The teacher just told us what to bring tomorrow and asked us to do whatever we want and assemble at LT 25 for Drawing Fundamentals.

I had a hard time finding LT 25, it's so uber hidden. Classes ended at 5, but went to HG Mall to get my materials.

Before I end off, I saw a few familiar faces today when I was at :

TCC exclusive Freshmen talk - Amira

Back to class - Siti

Rotting at some stand waiting for 3PM to be up - Suhaili

Looking for LT 25 : Winnie and Lipin (quite surprised, lol, one's my sec school and the other one is from pri school), Chong Han and Boon Jun.

HG Mall KFC - Shuting, Ang Siang, Bernice and I think his name's Gavin.

Headed back home after that, and I'm here typing. LOL

Lost.

2010-04-17T21:54:00.002+08:00

School starts on Monday and I'm not very enthusiastic about it.

For one, I know nobody.

Secondly, I've never travelled around the school, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to find my class.

Thirdly, the stupid Student Portal will only give me an account with all my class time-table like maybe next week.

So for now they gave me an unorganized time-table which I'm afraid I'll miss something out. -.-

Leave.

2010-04-13T22:14:00.002+08:00

TP called today, telling me to go down and get the enrolment package.

So now I'm faced with lots of stuffs to do.

1. Call NP first thing in the morning, telling them I'm not coming for the FIP.

2. Medical Checkup

3. Financial Loans and such

4. Call NP again for withdrawal instructions

5. Mail out whatever's needed to TP.

6. Tell Fedex 4 about my transferring - Done.

I think there's lots more. But ho hum... I'm in a I-wanna-go-TP-yet-I-wanna-stay-in-NP kind of mood.

Future or friends?

It's a sensitive topic so I shan't elaborate anything about it.

Dreading medical checkup tomorrow, hurr..

Ring.

2010-04-11T01:53:00.002+08:00

I dunno why but sometimes I can still hear the cheering of Fedex 4 - my camp subgroup's name, along with the whole of Fedex cheering.

Things like the Boom-The-Kebab and the Sha-la-la-la Shut-Up cheer were still ringing in my head.

I'm practically hearing them everytime I'm alone by myself in a quiet place.

Ironic isn't it? I'm always staying quiet throughout the camp, yet I miss the loud noise and the people.

Not forgetting the stupid Bieber's song - Baby. It's also ringing in my head.

TP just called, telling me to go for an interview, which I sent an appeal letter like a month ago. But what's holding me back is NP. I'm starting to like it there, but there is more future in TP.

Of course, I'm not guaranteed to get into TP but, I dunno how I should express my feelings.

Ugh.

Back from Camp.

2010-04-09T17:25:00.002+08:00

Back from camp like finally.

The student leaders were surprisingly familiar, although it's my first time in NP. Only recognized 2 ex-SSS students - 2008 top scorer for L1R4 - Jordan Miller and some former 4EB guy back in 2008.

Day 1, normal ice-breakers, Face Crayons, Group Flag designing.

Tried my best to open up, but all I could do was mutter a few words.

Meals are taken at the Koufu place, we were give $3 Koufu vouchers for every meal. It's enough for 1 set of meal, but for drinks... you gotta pay using your own money.

Stayed at The Loft - some HDB rented out to NP students etc. Nice method of promoting. Quite comfy though, at night it's damn cold.

Day 2.

Water games, Mass Dance, Camp Night, Slumber Party.

Really crazy people, the water games were fun.

Mass Dance was just terrible, apparently my group were allocated to stand at the side of the hall, meaning no Fans. So it gets hotter and hotter as we learn the Dance thing.

Camp Night, crazy as hell.

People cheering and whistling their whistles. Power deafening method. Lots of Korean songs. Funny thing is, NP probably likes SNSD a lot, they played all their popular songs like Gee, Oh! and Run, Devil, Run.

Slumber Party organised by the other group, really creative I must say. Stayed up till 4AM playing random games. Finally gave in to tiredness and hit the sack.

Day 3

Food Chain, Home Sweet Home.

Food Chain, basically a slacking game, just think of a food name and continue it etc etc.

Debrief - Home.

Made some friends at NP, not too bad :3 although not very close to them.

Oh by far, this camp has the most up-to-date music, unlike Sec school camps. Same songs over again.

Before I forget, NP made me addicted to Justin Bieber's song - Baby, lol.

Short

2010-04-04T03:51:00.001+08:00

Sorry for not updating for a long time.

Not really in the mood (still am)

So I'll just keep things short and sweet.

Class gathering along with Mr Lee's belated birthday celebration.

No Korean updates.

Orientation camp this Wednesday, hope I don't lose my glasses.

Cemetery.

2010-03-28T19:35:00.003+08:00

Woke up at 6AM today, by my mum to go to the Oh-So-Far Cemetery to pay respects to our ancestors.

Brought my phone and my PSP along, but didn't really turn my PSP on for even a second, I was occupying myself with the Korean vids I converted into my phone.

As soon as I'm done with the second last video, we were there, chatting, folding incense papers, burning the offerings and so on. Headed back, reached home at 10AM.

Was supposedly to go get a pair of new sports shoes for my Orientation Camp, since the one I wore while working at BCH was badly worn out. LOL.

Other than that, I'm still considering whether I should go for Mr Lee's celebration at Fish & Co's on Tuesday, will try to give you guys a reply by latest tomorrow.

Stuffs aside, MIO TV came, which means I get to watch Music Bank on KBS World, yay~~!! But it comes with a price though, whenever we on the MIO TV cable or whatever you call it, access to certain websites will be blocked, or rather, it sucks away the connection, making it impossible to connect to certain webs.

Korean Updates? Uh nothing much, really.

orz

2010-03-22T00:25:00.000+08:00

orz

Figure out the 3 words above yourself

New Skin.

2010-03-16T18:38:00.002+08:00

Okay, obvious changes, like finally.

Oh and if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's my blogskin, I've been using the Big Bang one for like almost 6 months? I think.

Actually I wanted a simple black and white skin, but I came upon this, which is pretty unique.

Other than that, there's a new song by T-ara updated on the Addictive Song section, yeah I know it sounds kinda annoying, but I'm waiting for the other new song of theirs to be officially released.

Okay enough about the new skin and songs etc.

Chun Teik SMSed me for basketball yesterday, but apparently it got cancelled because the girls had to go for CO. So basically I'm back to rotting in front of the computer all day Facebooking, blogging, Lurking around in certain forums etc.

As for the Poly application it's kinda driving me crazy especially the CPF thing, but I'm quite done with most stuffs though.

And for Korean updates, well... there's a report on anti-fans throwing their glowsticks at SNSD when they were having their concerts, but I'm not really a fan of SNSD so it's none of my business actually.

Oh and for Jang Geun Suk a.k.a Hwang Tae Kyung fans out there, he'll be coming to Singapore on April 24th or 25th for his Asia Tour at IMM and Suntec.

For more info check out www.allkpop.com , search the post yourself, I don't want to spoon-feed anybody.

Bball session.

2010-03-10T01:39:00.002+08:00

B-ball session today.

Surprisingly I felt no awkwardness, which is good I guess.
Lost my touch at shooting, but there's 1 spot in the court that I can shoot quite accurately - the 1-pointer spot. Haha.

Although the session wasn't as crazy as it was in the past, it still felt good, after such a long time. However, my arms are aching now though, especially the left one.

Finished drafting my letter to TP, looks weird but at least it's 1 burden off my chest.
More updates next time, brain not working correctly.

B-ball

2010-03-08T12:50:00.002+08:00

Received an SMS from Chun Teik yesterday, was actually quite surprised by it.

Anyway, it's an invitation to a basketball session with the 'usuals'. I won't call them the usuals anymore because it's been some time since I went out with the usuals. Like about since May 2009. Yup, should be around that period of time till the end of the year since I last went out with them.

Still unsure whether I should go though, not that I feel weird or anything, but I felt kinda like a party-pooper. I guess I'll just go and watch them play or bring Batman along, since the basketball court isn't that far away.

Random stuffs aside.

Wonder Girls have arrived in Singapore for some Sony Ericsson event. Though I'm not a hardcore fan of theirs, it's good that they're enjoying themselves here in SG.

Enrolment

2010-03-01T23:33:00.002+08:00

I finally got my friggin' enrolment package and I finally understood the crazy rants and ramblings of my fellow friends.

The process is really crazy, so many dates to take note of.

Shall finish up Form E first since it had to be submitted by 5 March, which means having a haircut, which I seriously need one.

The days I plan to rot is now filled with Enrolment, Enrolment and more Enrolment.

Who knew Applying for Poly can be this stressful? Sheesh.

Oh and I started watching God of Study, can't be bothered waiting for them to sub the rest, so I'm just watching it at my own pace - Watch a few mins, Pause, Check on games/Facebook, Play video, Pause and the cycle continues. However, the cycle wasn't slow enough, I'm already at episode 5, and they've subbed until 9.

Sheesh.

Updates.

2010-02-26T23:51:00.008+08:00

Sorry for not updating my blog.

I'm leading a no-lifer kind of life nowadays. I'm either playing my PSP or using the computer, Facebooking, Blog-hopping, Foruming and Gaming hardcore-ly.

Well not forgetting checking out latest news about Korean celebs.

The latest news that got me uber excited is... T-ara have officially released their new songs - I Go Crazy Because Of You and I'm Really Hurt.

For I Go Crazy Because Of You, they've already released the MV for it and have started performing on Music Shows. The MV is Hella confusing so I'll just post their performance here.

Sweet isn't it, they've evolved from a Cute concept to a Sexy and Provocative concept.
Well if you've no idea why I'm saying the above mentioned, then maybe you should watch the video below. Oh, don't mind their off tunes, they're quite a new group so it's understandable I guess.

Bo Peep Bo Peep, X'mas Remix.

Some people say it's way too cute and kinda irks them, I kinda agree but I still like them anyways.

Okay, that's all for me to update, will update if there's anything nice to share.

PSP.

2010-02-22T19:29:00.003+08:00

Finally got a PSP.

I stated earlier in my post that I wanted a second-hand one, however, I couldn't find any, so headed down to SimLim for a look.

They had all sorts of electronic devices there and PSPs was a common sight in most of the shops.

Apparently I bought mine at the third shop I went, on the second floor.

Total : $450, don't be surprised.

Mine's PSP Slim 2006, upgraded and modified.

Current version : 5.5 GEN-D (full)

I can play most of the new games, downloaded games etc etc.

Okay here's how the calculation goes.

PSP : $260 (Just the machine and the charger etc.)
Upgrades : $30
Modification : $30
8GB memory Card : $80 (wanted to buy the 4GB one at first, but glad I bought it, 8GB just barely let me have all the games I wanted)
Battery Pack : $10 (haggled it from $30 to $10)
Total : $410
GST : 7% + 3% due to some reason

So... total : $450+ but the person rounded off to $450.

I was a bit surprised at the total at first, but then I asked Zhong Da and the rest, their PSP also amounted up to $420 at least. So... I'm quite okay with it.

P.S You won't get the box, because it's already modified and upgraded so it's not longer a product of Sony's.

PSP

2010-02-18T00:55:00.000+08:00

Been looking for a PSP nowadays, don't want a new one because it's quite old.

Just looking for a second-hand one that is modified that comes with the whole package.

Haha, shall troll around eBay these few days trying to get a good deal.

Movie

2010-02-16T23:06:00.002+08:00

Went back to BCH to visit the aunties followed by movie with some friends.

BCH.

Saw 3 girls that used to work with me, seems like they also came to visit the aunties. Yu Sheng, then went off.

Met with friends, went to Cathay to check the timing for the movie, sadly the 2.30PM on was sold out and so was the one at 5. Thus, bought the tickets for the 7.45PM show. Nua around until that time. Went to sit around at Fish & Co since one of them haven't had her lunch, talked about people and school and stuffs. Didn't know that love was in the air among some friends whom I've never had a to have a pleasant conversation with for a long time.

So continued Nua-ing and then finally got to watch 72 Tenants of Prosperity. It's an Okay-type of show. Basically all the famous Hong Kong actors and actresses were in it, story plot-wise, not really great.

Headed back to BCH again to claim the taxi fares for OT and then headed back home.

Long wall of text.

2010-02-14T21:28:00.002+08:00

Prepare yourself for a long wall of text! You have been warned.

Okay let's start with work shall we?

Well, work ended at 6PM yesterday, was really surprised by the small amount of customers.
However, it's still quite busy though, the customers all ordered like 4 ~ 8 packs of Bak Kwa each, so it's pretty busy to do the packing on time.
Still remembered how a certain woman in red complained about the slow pace of our packing and the person working at the cashier. Really can't stand her, felt like throwing a piece of Bak Kwa on her face. Yesterday's also the last day of work, like finally! Woo~ Made a total of $1260 throughout the 1 month and 7 days, actually it's only $1210, but my supervisor gave me $50 for filling in for her when she had some problems and needed to go home.

$50 went to my mum. $50 went to my dad. $20 went to my Grandma. $20 also went to my other Grandma. $20 went to my auntie who's so hilarious.

So I'm left with... $1100. Heart-ache? Not at all, since it goes to the people that took care of me.

Chinese New Year.

First of all, Happy Chinese New Year to all, may all your wishes come through, be in good health all the time and be successful in whatever you do.

Visited my Grandma's house, my father's side, first. Saw the same people, ang baos and chatting and taking of pictures (will upload next time). Basically we just nua-ed around until the relatives have gone before we headed to my other Grandma's house.

Saw some relatives which I don't know of every year, but as usual, ang baos, chat chat and playing around with my little nieces, who're like 1 or 2 years old.

Headed back home after that and slept.

And here I am! In front of the computer.

Gathering.

2010-02-08T23:04:00.002+08:00

I dunno why I hate gatherings with my relatives.

Just came back for a so-called reunion dinner, didn't talk much, didn't talk to my cousin who's same age as me like we used to.

I don't hate my relatives or anything, but I simply don't know what to talk to them about.

I think I know why, actually.

Well, my cousins are all much much taller than me, I'm only 176. My cousins are like 180+ so I'm like a dwarf to them and my mum always compares me with the one who's the same age as me. Of course, I get pissed off when they do comparisons, I'll just shoot back at my mum with a "Since you want a tall son to be proud of, go give birth to another one." I know it's very rude of my to do so, but I really hate it when my parents provoke me with comparisons.

Sure, they'll smarter than I am, but who cares man.

Ah, better not talk about it anymore, the more I talk about it, the more I get pissed off.

Work.

Saturday and Sunday have been crazy. Lots of chaos, noise and shoutings from supervisor. Assholic customers, I want pretty pretty one uh, don't give me the black black one uh.

Speaking about customers, sometimes I really feel like letting them pack their own bak kwa themselves. Due to overload of customers, some will go "Why so slow one.", some even more assholic, "Eh boy, can you faster not?".

Yet again, don't want to talk about it.

I really feel like shouting on top of my lungs nowadays.

Dye or Die?

2010-02-08T00:29:00.002+08:00

No OT today, because I told my supervisor that I'll be having reunion dinner on 8FEB so I have to work the morning shift.

Things are getting a bit better, relations with the other staffs also got better, we're practically laughing at everything.

Joke of the day : Spastic can be used to describe everything.

Somehow or rather, nobody really likes the supervisor, I'm a neutral party so I side with nobody.
But I really have to agree that my supervisor is sort of bad.
When things get really busy in the store, and if somebody does something wrong, she'll scold that person 'IDIOT' in Cantonese.
But oh well, I shall remain neutral until the day she calls me an idiot and see how I'll react back.

Fuck.

2010-02-05T14:02:00.002+08:00

At this point, I really want to say this.

Fuck you Ministry of Education. You seriously suck.

Why put me in a course which will ruin my future?
Fuck it.
I don't care about my future anymore, just let it be ruined.
To hell with everything you've put me through.

OTOTOTOTOT

2010-02-04T13:07:00.002+08:00

I have OT for 6 days, flat rate though, which is quite zzz...

Nevertheless, the few people that stayed back were great, there's Auntie Xiao-Mei and Auntie Siew Kian who's busy packing the Bak Kwa. And there's me trimming the burnt parts at the back. And Ah Jing and Ah Hong at the kitchen BBQ-ing Bak Kwa.

Sure we were tired after the days' work, but Ah Jing would go to 7-11 to buy supper for us, because it's the only place we can get a receipt and claim back money for it. Who says no to a free meal?

It's actually a better place without the supervisor around, we can sit down and do our stuffs and the BBQ people can sit on the high-chairs and BBQ the Bak Kwa.

We'll share a cab when we go off since the aunties and Ah Hong live around AMK and Ah Jing rides his own Motorbike. Best of all, I'll just have to grab a receipt and give to the supervisor and I'll get a free and comfortable ride home from work.

Calculated my pay for January, around $600+, expected a bit more but oh well.

Tortured.

2010-02-02T00:51:00.002+08:00

I think I'm more of a monkey than a sales assistant at work.

My shift was 4PM today, so as I entered the store at 3.52PM, my supervisor saw me and squealed like a mad woman.

Then she said "Wah! Ah Boy ah, 我等你很久了！没有人帮我拿货进来！"

Then looking surprised, I went to change and took my attendance and then she brought me to hell.
Outside... laid 20+ boxes on the floor. Prawn Rolls, Durian Monthong, Pineapple Tarts etc etc. She asked me to carry all of them in and put the stocks up.
I spent a good 1hour 30 minutes on it and my back was breaking after all the bending up and down.
Then I even have to carry the 1KG bags into the storeroom which I have to climb over a metallic table and even pack Prawn Roll (KING) on top of the shelf.
Monkey right?!

But that's not the worse part.
2 bitches (NOT the aunties), but 2 other 16-year-old girls happened to be working the 4PM shift also.
Their job was to cut the burnt parts of the Bak Kwa. And I really felt like slapping them.
At this point, you must be thinking why I want to slap them, they're just trimming the burnt parts!
Well, yes they were trimming it, but the burnt parts are flying all over the fucking floor!
No wonder the floor is filled with burnt parts every morning!
And I'm the one sweeping/mopping the floor!
But that's not all.
At 6.30PM, it was dinner time for everyone, I didn't want to get anything as usual.
But, our way of working is that 1 person will go buy dinner for everyone while the others work.
However, the 2 bloody bitches went together, leaving the Bak Kwa behind with all the burnt parts.
And they did it deliberately and I was busy packing EZ Pork.
So, to prank on them, I moved the boxes I carried in earlier to their work area.
And as they got back, ACCESS DENIED!! I acted busy so they had to carry the Oh-So-Heavy boxes themselves before they can have dinner.
At 8PM, one of the girls wanted to leave, but on the contract it says we have to work at least 6 hours for February.
And the other auntie told her and she quarreled with the auntie who's always very nice to me.
Really felt like slapping her, it's like since she already agreed to working 6 hours for Feb then why does she want to leave at 8?
So she stopped bitching about and left.
At 9PM the other girl wanted to leave, but she was supposed to work till 10PM.
Bitched her way through the auntie and left. But that's okay.
My supervisor have been noticing every worker and I overheard her talking about the 2 bitches to the other aunties in Cantonese.
Don't really understand the whole thing but, I know it's got something to do with their pay.

Supervisor.

2010-01-30T17:20:00.003+08:00

Just 1 minute of nonsense from an irritating idiot is enough to spoil my whole day.

I should have just told my supervisor that I'll go off at 3PM. But stayed till 4 to earn extra bucks. But in the 1 hour, it was freakin' horrible.

More and more customers came into the store at 3PM and I was tagging prices on certain New Year goodies when my Supervisor told me to go in and pack $7-pack of Krispee Frostees. So I did, and it blah-ed until I was on my tenth pack, the other auntie asked me to help her pack the Bak Kwa into the bags and seal them up before this customer ordered 15 packs at one go. So I left the unpacked KF at the back counter and helped.

Then my supervisor came in and yelled at me, she wants me to pack the KF, and I shot back to her that the other auntie wants me to help her. Then she scolded me and the other auntie and I was like WTF. But the yelling ended after the customer left.

I was already in a bad mood, well... a semi-bad mood to be exact. So I continued packing KF until 4PM, which some temp staff who happened to be working at the 4PM shift already arrived. As you can imagine, it's quite crowded for the staff area. So there's quite a lot of congestion.

Then it also happened that the irritating new guy (see previous few posts), was also working the 4PM shift. As soon as I saw him, the raincloud above my head turned into a Thunderstorm. Just by seeing his face already made me want to slap him, real bad. I was about to finish up my last chore before leaving, which was to carry the ultra-heavy tray of Bak Kwa to the girl trimming them at the back and the fucking guy also happened to be behind me. So as I mentioned earlier, the staff area was congested, so my supervisor happened to be infront of me writing down orders. So the fucking guy pushed me, almost making the tray of Bak kwa fall off. Then I was like fucking pissed. I felt like turning back and smash the whole thing in his very-slappable face.

Then I left hurriedly before I could control my temper any longer, that push has spoilt my mood for everything of the entire day.

A whole new face.

2010-01-29T17:36:00.002+08:00

I've worked for about 3 weeks now.

My work seems more of like a laborer rather than a sales assistant, nowadays I either carry boxes here and there putting boxes into the storeroom all day long.

But that's not the worst part.

The main problem is my supervisor, sometimes I really think she's crazy.
She told me not to put the 1KG-Bag on the counter, so I put it at the counter behind, then, she scolds me and tells me to put in on the front counter. Then I was like WTF?! You told me not to put it on the floor, the counter and the back counter and then where the hell am I supposed to do it?

On certain occasions, I was made to replenish the stocks. But before I could finish one, she's already shooting me with things to do, not just one or two, but like 4 or 5.

Yesterday, she told me to take the metal plates out to use and keep the porcelain ones. So I did, and because I'm on the morning shift, I have to put the plates out etc etc. Then when she came in and saw the metal plates, she scolded me again.

At that point of time I really feel like giving her a bitch-slap. She told me to use the metal plates from tomorrow onwards and now she scolds me for doing so. WTF.

Seriously... adults are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than teens.

APPEAL!!

2010-01-27T18:04:00.000+08:00

I'm so going to appeal.

A.Maths ruined my Secondary school life, I shall not let it do so again.

Mechanical Engineering covers most topics on A.maths which caused me to drop it.

If I don't appeal, I'll end my life.

PS. BCH not only cures illness, it also makes you lose weight. LOL

Cycle.

2010-01-25T16:23:00.002+08:00

My life only revolves between work and play and sleep.

10 hours of sleep, 4 ~ 5 hours of work, the other hours are either spent rotting in front of the computer talking crap to my friends.

Can't wait for 16 Feb, where work ends and $$ comes rolling in.

Posting results out on 27 Jan at 8AM via SMS.

Scared? Not really. Excited? Not that too either.

I just feel like not wanting to know about it. My decisions kinda leave me wanting it but yet another part of me doesn't.

Teacher.

2010-01-22T23:10:00.002+08:00

I know I've been updating my blog about work and stuffs and such.

But today was another memorable day. I just switched from the morning shift after working the late shift for about 4 days.

Okay so today at about 12PM, a woman came to our outlet and I happened to be serving her. So she asked me about the floss and stuff etc etc. She spent 1 whole hour at the store demanding for discounts or giving free Bak Kwa to her, could probably see the pissed-off look on my supervisor's face, but she kept her cool. After haggling and haggling, my supervisor finally gave in and gave her a discount.

In the end, she bought 8 bottles of Cornflake Raisins at $9.90 each, 8 boxes of Triple Floss at $15 each, totalling almost up to $200 and with the discount, about $170+ and she asked me to take the things to her car.

Uh oh, problem came, she told me she parked her car near Maybank which I have no idea where Maybank is, so we returned to the store and asked, then finally got our directions right and then took her items to her car. Then she told me - She was a retired teacher from ACS and some prestigious JC. Which explains very well why her character is so demanding, then I realised, the more demanding the teacher is, the better the student will do, even at the cost of the student hating the teacher.

So before she left, she told me that studying is difficult but it will always be a temporary thing and if I do well, do not be too cocky about it. Even if I am a successful person at work in future, do not spend on big houses and luxury from the start, always start small, then upgrade and expand. With that, she left in her car, leaving me behind to ponder over what she said as I walked back to the store.

All sorts of customers

2010-01-21T14:12:00.003+08:00

Working at BCH yesterday left a deep memory in me because of one "customer".

I was standing behind the screens, trimming Bak Kwa, then this woman probably in her late 40s came in. So I called her to "Yao mai Bak Kwa ma, xiao-jie?", she ignored me, stared at the Bak Kwa on display for a while, took a toothpick and started poking through the Bak Kwa samples on top of the screens, she didn't just poke one, not two either, but about 7 or 8 pieces. I stared at her and she left.

My supervisor saw her, so I asked, "Can like that one meh?", she said "Aiya, zhe ge shi jie shen me ren dou you de.", so, I went back to trimming my Bak Kwa, but still pondering about the woman.

I can understand if a kid did that, but a woman in her late 40s... I think I'm quite disgusted.

However, something funny happened just when we were about to close for the day. A woman came in, her hair was pretty short like a man's and she did sort of looked like a guy. So the other supervisor, who was busy keeping the Bak Kwa shouted "Xian-Sheng yao mai Bak Kwa ma?" and at the point, I really felt like laughing out loud. But before I could do that, my 2 supervisors were laughing. It was really hilarious!

Oh and... there's a new cook today, pretty tall, skinny, bespectacled and fair, I thought it was Hong Wei when i first saw him, almost got a shock of my life. HAHA

Insert Title Here.

2010-01-19T01:49:00.003+08:00

Woo~ Finally got a day off from work yesterday.

Well, I'm not really sure what's the reason I'm given a day off, but I'm guessing it's because the new staffs are being trained and such, but I dunno.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if I needed the training myself, especially with the cashier part. I've been going through the same processes taught by the aunties but I still don't get it. It's even worse when the shop is filled with customers in a rush. I asked my supervisor if I needed to attend the training, she says I didn't have to but with all the new staffs coming in, I'm quite worried.

Sometimes, they say things like "We're counting on you to sell the Abalones." or when they count on me to teach the new staffs the basics, I feel really pressured, I'm not the confident type of person and I know it. Everyone tells me to be more confident and yeah, like it helps.

To be honest, I'd rather stand at one corner, packing floss and those EZ Pork, although those are pretty boring chores, I feel much um... so-called safer in a way. Oh did I mention I love sweeping and mopping the floor best? After finishing up both cleaning jobs, 35 minutes would have gone, and I'll be like YAY!

Customer-wise, I try my best to do things quickly and never forgets to smile when I hand over their goods. But sometimes they just show me the ( -_- ) face and I feel like landing punches on their bloody faces, especially those rich uncles that bought 2 or 3kg of Bak Kwa at one go. So what if they're rich?

I guess that'll all change, because I'm now made to promote products on special sale, which I'll be standing outside, shouting my heart out at people who walk by and treat me like I'm invisible. I'm also responsible for replenishing stocks that are along the corridor and most importantly, the floss, which have been quite a hit with customers recently. Other than that, I'm made to memorize the prices of Pineapple Tarts and New Year goodies and how many pieces are there in a box.

Conclusion : I'm sure during CNY when I'm visiting relatives, I'll probably stay away from the goodies and most probably the Bak Kwa, which is good though, because it means I won't get fat. Hahaha.

P.S Work at 6PM tomorrow, I specially dread late night shifts, too many customers.

Offence Slip.

2010-01-16T23:52:00.002+08:00

Work today was... *%#@^*(@%#^*(@!!

Not that the staffs were unreasonable or anything but I sort of like got an 'offence slip' today.

Firstly, I don't think I was wrong.
Secondly, I did ask the other staff, and I did as I was told.
Lastly, nobody taught me how to use the card before.

Here's the story :

This customer has this BCH rewards card which allows them to get a 10% off the BCH products. So while the other staffs were either new or attending to other customers, this woman handed me her NETS and her BCH rewards card. However, I only knew what to do with the VISA card and not the rewards card, so I asked another staff, whose also new but more experienced than I am. And he told me to just scan the card and that's it. So I did as I was told and I gave the woman her receipt and she asked about how she can find out how many reward points she has. Then my supervisor said I didn't press VIPS on the counter and she had to do a refund.

So... I earned myself an 'offence slip' today, I dunno what they'll do, probably use my pay as refund. &(@^#&*()@^%#*)@&^%#@~!!

Irritatingly Bad Habits.

2010-01-15T18:08:00.003+08:00

Today... as I boarded the bus to go back home from work...

I was utterly disgusted at the bad habits of certain passengers.

I've been wanting to post something like this since a long time ago, but I keep forgetting what happened. But I remembered today's encounter clearly, really clearly.

1st encounter - Obstacles.

When I say obstacles, it meant very inconsiderate people.
In front of me was this plump, as in really plump, boy probably in his Lower Secondary years, as we moved into the bus, I saw a few empty seats which I really needed badly after standing for 4 hours straight at work. What the boy did was... he stopped moving in at the Exit, meaning that I would be blocked from getting a seat at the back. So I stood beside him, thinking, well, maybe he'll be alighting in a few stops. But after 5 stops, he was still there, and there was practically no space for me to squeeze in, for I'm no bamboo pole either (if you know what I mean). I got really pissed, my feet were aching and I really wanted to shout at him but I kept cool. At the 9th or 10th stop, he finally alighted, but gave me another surprise. He stepped on my foot, didn't even bother to say sorry and alighted the bloody bus. For some reason or another, I don't really feel pain if anybody steps on my foot, but it actually hurt this time. I really wonder what they teach in schools these days, don't they have those Pastoral Care and err... Values Education that took up quite some time in the curriculum? I don't see how they apply to students nowadays.

2nd encounter - Litter-bugs.

As the plump boy alighted, I went in and sat down, quite relieved. The bus was quite empty though. However, this Indian lady who paid her bus-fare with coins, somehow or rather, got hold onto many tickets, probably those who didn't bother to collect their own tickets (like me, LOL). Okay, so she sat down, trying to looking for her ticket, which was obviously the one at the top *rolls eyes* and the next thing she did, she sort of like flipped those leftover tickets onto the floor, not just one, but about four of them. I was staring at her, but she probably didn't notice, if it was a child, I could probably understand, but for an adult, it's pretty disgusting.

3rd encounter - Oil fields with 'shit'

I find this really erm... yucky. Although I can't really blame people for it. But don't you find it disgusting when the window beside you is blurred with oil (and something else, to be elaborated later on) from humans? Probably from the cheeks or the heads of sleepy passengers. Can't really blame them for that, so that's all for the Oil Field part.
As for the 'shit' part, I'm referring to wastes from the nose, yes, the nose. Sometimes you'll see uncles and aunties digging for 'gold' in the broad daylight in the bus yeah? So the windows are the places for keeping their 'gold' safe, and I can bet, that if they can't find a window, the seats would be the next target. EEW.

Conclusion : I want my own car.

P.S AMK Hub Bus-stop is a good place to see people you've haven't seen for a long time. I've seen 3 of my Primary School friends there, but they didn't recognise me. LOL

Decision

2010-01-13T12:27:00.002+08:00

I've been running through the Course Booklet again and again.

I don't think I'd want design courses for all my choices, but not much science/business courses interest me much.

I've only got 2 more days to decide, gotta be quick, otherwise it'll just become another burden of mine on 15 Jan.

I've been working at BCH for almost a week. I guess I should write about my experience.

The first day started out a bit tiring, with a little element of boredom, it was basically packing packing and packing. Nothing much, really.

Started collecting money from customers from second day onwards. I like everything about that except when they use NETS or their Visa cards, which is quite a complicated process. I'd rather do the cleaning than do cashiering though.

As for the staffs, they were mostly aunties, and the cooks were mostly guys in their early 30s or late 20s. They were really friendly and patient when teaching me and almost never really raise their voices at me. However, as of 12 Jan 2010, more and more new staffs are coming in and I feel so pressured, because the aunties asked me to teach them the packing/cashiering etc. etc. I don't mind teaching them how to pack but... when it comes to cashiering, I could really faint at that. The pressure comes from the customer and also the new stafsf. For the customers, they are always in a hurry so I have to collect money fast, as for the new staffs, what will happen if I taught them the wrong thing? Scary huh?

That aside, the chores were pretty simple, just everyday household chores, like sweeping/mopping the floor, cleaning the screens etc.

To be edited later on, going for work now.

=/

2010-01-11T16:39:00.001+08:00

Just came back after getting my O's results.

My feeling : Not too happy or too sad.

For one, I passed English, with a B3. Which was quite a surprise.
Secondly, I passed Combined Humanities for the first time in my life, with also a B3.
These 2 subjects really made me happy.

As for Combined Science, only a B3, disappointed, where did my A1 go?
I was so sure I'd get an A for this subject, but turns out to be only a B3.
Second disappointment - E.Maths with only a C5.
Was pretty confident of getting a B3 at least, but turns out to be really disappointing.

As for Chinese, C6, I expected this grade since the exam ended in June, thanks to my Oral, which I thought I did pretty well, but only got by with a pass.

Nevertheless, I'm still applicable for Interior Design, but probably the odds for getting in is lower.

P.S thanks Ziyun for the Nerd Glasses from Taiwan, so sorry I didn't give you any present on your Birthday ):

Stupid Sister.

2010-01-09T23:06:00.002+08:00

Morning - Flu + Cough

Really didn't want to go to work. But when I was at my workplace, I was completely fine, just slightly runny nose, that's all.

However, as I got home from work, my sickness started again. Coughed like nobody's business, sneezed like my own business. LOL. Went to spit out the phlegm, yucks. It was yellow, sort of like the fat of pork.

Anyways, things at home were a real turn-off.

I got on the computer, hoping to log in to facebook and blog and chat on MSN and blah... but somehow my F*cking sister have been downloading random things and now the computer has caught the virus, spent the whole day reformatting the computer and re-installing the programs. How nice, maybe I should put a password, but this isn't exactly my own computer. Putting a password would just... be a bit selfish.

However, if the computer caught a virus again, I'll definitely put a password, and I won't care if she has to do any bloody project. This isn't the first time, I've been reformatting the computer over 10 times, a majority because of her. Bloody bitch.

P.S I'm enjoying my time at work, but I make mistakes still.

Unfair.

2010-01-09T00:37:00.004+08:00

At my outlet.

I clean
I pack Bagua and Pork Floss
I collect money
I trim the burnt parts

All these for $5 per hour.

At Shuting's outlet

She collects money
She trims the burnt parts.

These 2 for $5 per hour.

How nice.

Somehow or rather, I've been falling sick after coming back from work for the past 3 days. However, they subside after a while, but still I don't like the feeling of being sick. I'm sure no one does.

I hate dreams.

2010-01-07T11:37:00.003+08:00

People often say, "Don't Bluff Yourself".

But your own dreams tend to bluff you! I hate dreaming from now on.

I had a dream, the day I went to collect my results, after my turn was called, collected my results slip, I scanned through it and saw my L1R4/R5 aggregate. Guess what was stated on it?

L1H5 : 11 points
L1R4 : 9 points

I was seriously overjoyed, but then my eyes suddenly opened, owned, it's just a bloody dream.

Now I'm worried about what I heard from others, "whatever happens in your dream often appear to be the opposite in reality", I hope it's not true though.

Anyways, first day of work yesterday, tiring, but it was definitely much better than the job at the hotel.

Started out with cleaning the screens, sweeping and mopping the floor, for about an hour both those cleaning jobs.

Then there was this extremely big bag of peanuts which I had to pack them into packets of 500g each. Spent about 2 hours on it.

After that I spent about 30 minutes trimming the burnt parts of the Bagua, made a small mistake, but luckily my supervisor pointed it out to me early before things get ugly.

The remaining 1hour and a half was spent serving the customers, which I had to weigh the Bagua, tell them the price and then pack them nicely into a bag. Somehow or rather, it feels as if I accomplished a mission after packing Bagua a customer ordered. LOL. I must have gone nuts after working with those peanuts. Hahaha.

Working later on at 6PM. Hope not to encounter anymore peanuts.

Job

2010-01-06T13:10:00.002+08:00

I should be happy when I finally have a job right?

It would mean extra income to meet my material needs, right? But why am I feeling so worried and unexcited?

After much thought, I'm thinking that it may be the same experience as the time I was working in the stupid Cheena Hotel. But this should be better right? I hope I don't make a lot of mistakes and won't sweat so much, after all, that place is rather warm even if you're standing outside the counter. Maybe I should get a headband or something. But I'll see how it goes later on.

One thing though, that makes me really nervous is... I might get lost ._.
I've been checking up online street directories again and again to make sure I know which bus to take. Work starts at 4PM, shall leave the house at 3PM so if I get lost, I won't be late.

Bee Cheng Hiang

2010-01-05T00:59:00.004+08:00

Going for job interview at Bee Cheng Hiang at 11AM later on.

Nervous? Not really but I'm having high hopes on getting the job.
I've been jobless for almost 3 months, what a waste of time.

I must get a job, then meet my material needs, if possible, treat my family to a simple meal
(total 8 people in the family), keep my leftovers for rainy days I suppose.

For now just enjoy this song, not sure what the title is, but it's nice.
I'm anticipating this drama, God of Study, which was just released on the Korean TV stations just yesterday.
Sung by Park Jiyeon of T-ara, she's only 16 and she can really sing! Enjoy~

Edit.

Went for the interview, got the job, will have to wait for the supervisor to call me about my working time tomorrow.

However, getting the job was successful, but something of mine is a failure - my sense of direction.

After the interview, collected my uniform, I tried to make my way back to the station, in the end, I spent 45 minutes wandering nowhere, luckily there's a 147 bus-stop, took it back to Potong Pasir station and headed for Hougang Mall to get a haircut.

Haircut only took about 10 minutes and I'm not liking the way my hair looks now, the other auntie cut it better but oh well, what's done is done.

First day of work tomorrow, excited? Nah, actually I'm kinda worried.

Belated New Year

2010-01-02T02:57:00.003+08:00

Okay, I was supposed to post this on New Year's Day in the afternoon, but apparently I got myself too engrossed watching Korean Music Festivals and concerts by my favourite bands and singers.

Even though it's a bit late right now, but still, Happy New Year to all.

2009 had been a year full of laughter and struggles. The series of events that occurred in school, between me and my friends were really memorable, the jokes we shared, the quarrels we had, will always be remembered.

Even though I'm no longer as close to certain people whom I'd always considered as my best buddies, I got closer to some other classmates which I haven't had much interaction with since 2008. The great friends, the humorous laughter, the bickering over small things and the craziness of some jokers were missed.

Okay, I think I sounded quite cheesy, I feel like I'm giving a New Year speech like I'm some kind of important person, LOL.

Dang it, my mum's nagging me to sleep as if I've got to go to school tomorrow, really hate it when she does that. If she nags me on school nights, still acceptable, but now I'm free, she still complains. She told me after my O's she won't give a damn about how long I used the computer, I guess it's just all talk and no action huh? NATO, yeah, History lessons.

Anyways, 2009 had been a great memory and I'm looking forward to meeting new friends and challenges in the year 2010. Once again, Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you.

SBS Gayo Daejun 2009

2009-12-31T00:50:00.002+08:00

I downloaded SBS/KBS Gayo Daejun 2009 in the afternoon today, hoping to watch it tonight. so I did.

Total File size : 2GB+, split into 2 parts

I expected a lot of performances by my favourite groups but meh, only about 3 to 4 caught my attention.

Part 1 was...boring. All the bands I haven't heard of. The total show time for both parts should be around 3 hours, however, I spent my time forwarding and forwarding, so basically, I didn't watch part 1. The start of part 2 was equally as boring, however things changed in the middle, funny performances were put up + my favourite groups. So, to sum it up, out of the 3-hour show, I only watched the last 30 minutes of it. Great huh?

Avatar

2009-12-26T14:22:00.002+08:00

Went to watch Avatar in 3D at 1AM today, was a last minute decision though.

The starting was boring, but things get better when the guy went into the Magical World of (insert name here). Towards the end of the show, it gets really exciting. A must-watch, definitely. Sure, the blue humanoids did look stupid, but the story plot and graphics were really epic. I'll rate it 4.5 stars out of 5.

The movie last for about 2 hours and 10 minutes, which means it only ended at 3+, went to have a real early breakfast at 4AM+ then went back home to sleep. First time catching a late night movie though, the feeling was definitely different.

Oh, you know, if you're bored or something, try watching Explorers of the Human Body with Super Junior on Youtube, it's really interesting and funny. You know, if you bind your first 2 toes of each foot and try a long jump, you can jump farther than you can than usual. And do you know, Nitrous Oxide (N2O), can make you laugh just by breathing it in? Of course the effects varies with certain people, but it makes a majority laugh. Just search Super Junior EHB eng sub on Youtube and you should be able to watch it, there should be 9 or 10 episodes.

Super Junior break up? NO!!

2009-12-24T19:24:00.006+08:00

I thought my Korean Fever was gone but meh, I'm still having a severe one afterall.

As I went to check on updates for K-pop at allkpop.com, I found this

It's really um... so-called demoralizing though. One member after another continues to sue SM entertainment ( Suju's Company ) for some terms in the contract, which I'm not very sure about.

Luckily, my favourite member isn't involved in the filing of lawsuits so I'm quite fine with it, however, Super Junior is 13 and only 13, one member more or one member less is no longer Super Junior. And speaking of members, SM Entertainment is bringing in 2 members from China (WTF) to add the the band. Ah, whatever, this isn't for me to worry about, if the verdict comes out, I'll probably post about it again.

If you remember Lee Minho a.k.a Gu Jun Pyo from Boys Over Flowers, actually they approached Jang Geun Suk to play Gu Jun Pyo, but he actually turned down the offer and went to play a role in Beethoven Virus, thus, Lee Minho took over as Gu Jun Pyo.

More details here

Speaking of Jang Geun Suk, everybody must watch You're Beautiful! According to my sister's friend, Jang Geun Suk lost 8kg just to play this role in You're Beautiful. Haha. I'm not a fan of Jang Geun Suk in the film but you can really see the difference!

Before

After

Haha, okay, that shall be all for me to share now. And remember, watch You're Beautiful. LOL

Oh before I go, Merry X'mas eve. Enjoy the vid!

IRIS

2009-12-19T23:51:00.002+08:00

Just started watching this - IRIS. Looks pretty interesting.

The first guy from the left is T.O.P, from Big Bang. Haha. I think this'll be another great drama to keep me going. There are some talk about history of President Kennedy and such in the first episode, which reminds me of the history lessons we used to have.

More updates later, shall continue watching this.

Happy.

2009-12-17T22:00:00.010+08:00

I'm really happy today, not because I got a job, nor did I struck lottery.

Let's just say, things were really going well for me, or rather, things happened the way I hoped they would be.

Busy watching You're Beautiful while on the hunt for jobs and I must say, it's pretty good. I've only watched up till the 12 episode, but I'm liking it so far. There ain't much draggy scenes but there are some really annoying scenes by calefares. I'll recommend everyone to watch though, at the end of every episode, it just makes you want to keep watching and don't stop at all.

This drama probably tells you almost everything in the media industry. I used to wonder how they do stuffs and this show did show me how, oh, and it also tells you how psycho reporters and paparazzi are. LOL

This one's probably the original cover.

I found this one on another web.

The blond guy is actually a member from FT island, haha. Only realised it after a few episodes, as for the other actors, I'm not sure who they are.

Out of 5 stars, I'll rate it 4 stars. That's just my opinion though, however, definitely better than Boys Over Flowers. It's worth the time! (Not much Korean dramas really keep me going actually, but this one did)

The next thing that made me pretty happy is very random. But hey, different things make different people happy right?

There was a new patch in Audition today, so after patching, I went in the check the new songs out.

I was really excited when I saw some songs I liked.

- Sorry Sorry by Super Junior
- Time to Love by T-ara
- Heartbreaker by G-Dragon

There's another song by SS501 - Love Like This. Though I'm not really a fan of SS501, I think I'll be one soon. This song was really difficult in Beat Up, furthermore, it's 156 BPM, which is pretty fast. I'll be playing this song non-stop to reduce the misses I get thus, I might get addicted to it and become afan of SS501 LOL. The arrows just keep coming. Don't believe me? Watch this.

Okay, it seems really easy for the player, but it's not for me. That player has 700+ Perfects and 1 Bad and 0 Misses. For me, it's a hell of a song. I'll post up my score later.

To sum it up, I'm really happy today, felt like trying my hands on writing a novel. LOL, ridiculous, ain't it?

EDIT.

Here's my score for SS501's Love Like This.

Pretty lousy huh? As compared to the guy from the video.

Another sad thing, my Full Combo for Big Bang's Last Farewell is gone.
Used to get a Full combo ( see below )

But as I went to try a few rounds of Last Farewell just now, I had more than 10 misses, pretty depressing huh?

Oh and, if you're wondering why my character is a girl, it's simple. AuditionSEA, is so biased that, the girls get the nice clothes while the guys get the same old clothes with minor differences. I couldn't stand it, so I played as a girl.

T-ara.

2009-12-15T12:37:00.004+08:00

I haven't posted for quite some time.

So this time, I'll be sharing my latest craze - T-ara.
I must say, their songs are pretty addictive, or rather, I'm easily influenced to songs that have many repetitions.

Here's some of their vids, really very addictive, couldn't stop listening to them,

T-ara - Bo Peep Bo Peep

T-ara - Lies

I'm pretty sure there are some other ones, but that is all I shall share.

Speaking of Korean craze, Singapore's a big disgrace. A very very big disgrace, 3 days ago, Brown Eyed Girls, FT Island and some other really hot Koreans bands came to Singapore for a concert. That wasn't so bad huh, however, when one of the FT island members, Seunghyun, was making his way back to the hotel, surrounded by crazy fangirls as usual, one of them actually pulled his hair.

Don't believe me? Here's the video of the attack.

Woo~ He actually pointed at her as some sort of warning or something, in my opinion. It's weird, why hair of so many things? I've seen crazy fangirls pulling the sleeves of their idols, but not this time. It was said that the girl who pulled his hair was a malay girl and was hated and she deleted her blog. Oh did I mention that Seunghyun looks like Kim Hyun Joong in that vid? Haha, probably the result of the dark lightings.

Anyway, I'm going to get an interview at Bee Cheng Hiang later, thanks to Bao Ling for this lobang. I'm not sure what I'll answer when they ask, " Why do you want to be a sales assistant?" later on, kinda scared, yet not so scared. It's a weird feeling huh.

However, I believe working at those outlets would be quite rewarding, since CNY is approaching, OT should be quite inevitable, which means it'll make up for the time when I was jobless, provided I get the job, of course. However, if I fail this interview, thy shalt not falter. Haha.

Oh before I end off this post, I'll be changing a new blogskin soon. Which band? I think it's pretty obvious by now. If not, it's T-ara for goodness sake. LOL.

Blah.

2009-12-10T22:18:00.000+08:00

I feel like writing another super long post to while away time. But I've got nothing to write on.

Don't you find it really amusing when you feel like going online and after about 10 minutes or so, you feel bored even when you're online.

I've been trying to watch anime, but none really kept me going though. Sometimes I'll just watch the first few episodes and then stop, needless to say for real-life dramas. I've got like 6 people telling me to watch You're Beautiful, but I never really bothered. Life kinda sucks. But it sucks more when I'm working at the hotel.

Recently, I've been thinking back of time, the time when I first came to Serangoon Sec, the class was noisy, boisterous and lively,

5-star my foot.

2009-12-08T15:32:00.004+08:00

WARNING : Incredible long wall of text coming!

It all began yesterday, woke up real early in the morning, feeling really excited about working and earning some income. So i dilly-dallied till 3PM when I set off for work.

Upon reaching, changed to my uniform, reported, briefing and so on. Actually I was supposed to be helping out at one of the cafes, but apparently there was also a wedding dinner held on that night and I was pulled off to the ballroom due to lack of staff. Briefing again, followed by how to serve and cut the dishes and such. Oh, I forgot to mention that there was an amazing large amount of CHEENAS working there, followed by Singaporean Ah Bengs and Ah Lians. Didn't feel good about that, but just kept my mouth shut.

With inadequate training, the wedding dinner started, at first, things went well for the first 2 dishes, which we just had to serve them and let the guest do self-service. The problem came when the 3rd dish began, I had to cut out portions to serve 10 people at my table, I was fortunate though, my table only had 8 people. But I still have to cut 10 portions just in case my people needs another serving. After cutting, I was supposed to refill their drinks and their tea, and this guy needed me to take away his cup of tea because my partner was busy pouring the red wine. So I placed it on my tray, didn't really balance well and it splashed on his sleeve, luckily there was not much tea left though and it turned cold. Got a scolding afterwards but yeah, it was my fault anyway.

Then after serving the 4th dish, some childish, stupid old man probably in his 60s asked me if I could give him the pig's head from the first dish, and he didn't say he was joking about it. So I told my partner about it and she asked the fucking old man. And he told her he was joking. Fucker. Still so childish at that age, I hope you die sooner. Hence, I got another scolding.

So I stayed in the kitchen wiping the plates, nothing could go wrong with that. At this point of time, I was already dehydrated, I didn't drink a drop of water for about 4 hours. Then blah-ed all the way to the 9th dish. Nothing very wrong during the last 5 dishes, just a bit jerky during the serving.

The metal tray along with 10 bowls of sharks' fin was a killer, and I had to serve 2 trays which is killing me. But if I dropped them, I'll be dead for sure. Got scolded again for nothing, and this scolding really was a turn-off, I decided not to work at that bloody hotel again. One of the regular staff dropped her empty bowls and to escape punishment, she said I did it since I was nearest to her. Like Fuck, I was just there wiping the plates and we're not so near to each other, probably 70cm apart and I got accused. Stupid CHEENAS.

So everything ended by the last dish, dessert, again, another killer for my arms. I was so glad that it ended and I looked forward to going home, but that was not the end. We still had a debrief and before we could go, we had to change the cloth for the tables and chairs for the next event for tomorrow, which is today. This one was okay, no problem at all and then I left the hotel, rushed to the nearest 7-11 and got myself a big cup of Slurpee.

Oh, before I left the hotel, they gave everyone a coupon for the shuttle bus at 1.30AM. But What the fuck, the shuttle bus is like damn small, probably enough for only 8 people and the next shuttle bus would be at around 2.30AM . I was too tired to squeeze myself in, so I took a taxi home instead.

Some good things about the hotel though;
- The non-Cheenas and non-Ahbengs/Ahlians were kind enough to help me out.
- The dinner served at 4.30PM wasn't half-bad, in fact, I found myself addicted to the vegetables.

Well, I guess there's nothing else good about that hotel anymore, 5-star huh? 5-star my ass man.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that the 9-course dinner looks pretty shiok.

1. Whole Suckling Pig
2. Prawn Cocktail with whatever sauce
3. Fried Yam apple with I dunno.
4. Abalone with Shitake Mushrooms and Veggies.
5. Sharks' fin soup with I dunno.
6. Braised Duck in Sauteed Sauce with 5 Treasures.
7. Crispy Buns with Chilli Crab Sauce ( SHIOK! I think )
8. I forgot
9. Chocolate Pudding with some kind of fudge.

So if you or your relatives are holding wedding dinner, have it held at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, be sure to wear the stupid Cheenas staffs out!

P.S I forgot to say that my shift was supposed to end at 11PM, but we had to work 2 extra hours to clear everything up, and that 2 Hours isn't counted in my salary. Lousy hotel.

Sis's ROM

2009-12-06T21:43:00.004+08:00

Came back from sis's ROM at about 6+, was dead tired and slept till 9.30PM.

Overall, the ceremony went perfectly I suppose, just that it rained before the solemnization so the staff had to carry the solemnization table inside. Photos next time, I think.

As for me,never knew my ugly fugly hair cold be spiked that way, with some gel and hairspray haha.

Work starts tomorrow and nobody I know is working with me, which is kind sad huh, however, I was told the staff there are pretty friendly so I shouldn't have much problem. Actually, my main worry is getting around the place and holding the tray, my sense of direction is pretty bad and I really have no idea why I'm so lousy at getting around places.

Okay, for now, I'll just have to relax, feeling hungry but nothing looks appetizing, that kind of feeling is irritating.

P.S My workplace has many CHEENAS working there, so I bet I'll be alone most of the time. ROFL

All set.

2009-12-05T20:53:00.002+08:00

Bought my leather shoes and black pants today. At last, something off my to-do list.

However, I didn't manage to get a haircut though, sister's ROM tomorrow, so I'll never know if I'll look good with short hair. So I bought a hair mousse instead. However, I'm still unsure how to style my hair though, shall check up on Youtube later on.

I'm kinda worried that the hotel will call me about the booking during the ROM tomorrow, which will be rather embarrassing if they did. Maybe I'll call them earlier in the morning to ask for my booking. :)

Updates on blog :
Nothing much, removed and relinked some dead bloggers.

Kinda pissed.

2009-12-04T00:10:00.003+08:00

Woke up late this morning, hearing my phone ringing at the other room.

Then I went to get it and found a scratch, on my screen. It wasn't very deep but the screen protector fell off. Probably my little sister's stupidity. No point asking if she was responsible for it anyway, she'll just bluff her way through.

Pfft... I'm having second thoughts about working at the 5-star hotel. But forget it, I'm income-less now, I need the job.

Eldest sister's R.O.M this Sunday, not too enthusiastic about seeing my relatives and cousins though, for some particular reason which I don't wish to elaborate.

Hence, it's all a mess.

P.S Irritating Fringe is Irritating, repetitive, I know.

Job.

2009-12-02T23:26:00.007+08:00

Yesterday.

Followed Xinyi and Bernice to Mandarin Oriental Hotel yesterday for a so-called job interview. Being a 5-star Hotel, the security is damn tight. Xinyi wanted to take us to the Banquet Office at first, but then the man at the security only said only those who've got business can enter. So it ended up with only me and Bernice going to find the Banquet Office ourselves. I think we asked a total of 4 people for directions. And we landed somewhere outside an office with a few other students applying for the job.

Okay, so we just filled the application forms and the guy who's supposed to interview us was scolding vulgarities his head off some students on attachments there. It was quite a turn-off and somehow funny, but meh, I need the money. Then for some reason or another, Bernice and I stood at the side for some time, probably about 20 mins . Then another batch of students came, then they talked about the grooming standards.

It's quite okay, at least I don't have to bun up my hair, wear skin-colour stockings and such. LOL. But I'll have to have my hair cut though. Then we were taken a tour of the hotel. That's what made me think twice about going there to work.

Firstly when we go to work, we'll have to go to security with our ICs, then tell the man there we have a shift that day. Then go to the laundry-man and take our uniforms, change, then go upstairs and report. It sounds really easy but not when the Hotel is like a maze. But like I said, I need money badly, in order to satisfy my material needs and stuffs like that. So I took the chance. So I went home, went to Facebook, and I found out that actually I had 2 friends working there too.

So meh, I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck.

Woah, I've still got today's post to post. So do bear with it, if you can't then too bad huh?

Actually nothing much today, was playing Audition to while away my time when I saw Shuting online in my Messenger, which is quite a miracle. Haven't seen her on for some time. Haha, so I went to find her, played some games, talked bout stuffs and she's gonna download it at home! Which is good though, cos I've nobody to play with me.

But oh dear, what if her 'husband' knows? I'll be dead for sure.

P.S Shuting, just kidding. LOL

Bored.

2009-11-30T23:01:00.003+08:00

This is how I'm feeling right now.

EDIT.

It seems that nobody know who xyrothium@hotmail.com is.

Once again, it's me, my new e-mail. Now remember that.

DUDE! It's Rude!

2009-11-28T23:40:00.003+08:00

Was chatting with some friends online earlier.

And I find it really irritating when they call me 'Dude'. Instead of saying a 'Hi' or a 'Hello', it was 'Dude! How's it going?'. Okay, that wasn't so bad actually, what's really irritating is that they either start or end their sentences with 'Dude'. Like, 'Dude, I missed playing pool.' and 'That's amazing, Dude!'. And throughout the whole conversations, Dudes, Dudes and more Dudes were seen. So in the end, I had to break off the conversations by saying my mum wants me to go to bed.

I hardly had a nice conversation with anyone but meh, the cliches always come in sooner or later. Maybe it's time I speak up. MSN getting too quiet.

Haircut?

2009-11-27T11:27:00.004+08:00

I have an urge to cut my hair, I really like to keep my hair short, but the hairstyles I've been using is like the same for about since I was borned?

So I went looking for short, shaggy hairstyles online. Then I remember Maplestory, there was this hairstyle I really liked - Shaggy Wax.

But meh, How the hell should I tell the person cutting my hair to cut my hair like this?!

Then I went searching again... I saw this... it looks good, but it's a bit too exaggerating for me. Probably rather troublesome styling the hair like this.

Thus, I went searching for another not-so-exaggerating one. And I found this, it's not too spiky, but I want my fringe. Heh, David Archuleta eh? Hmm... I feel weird looking at him, it's like staring at each other.Haha.

My next worry is - what colour should I dye? I've mentioned before that I don't want the colour to be too Ah-Beng-ish. Maybe Brown and then darken it a little. Heh.

New E-mail.

2009-11-26T17:37:00.003+08:00

Windows Live Messenger is being biased to my e-mail, or should I say, former e-mail - rainbow_flashes@hotmail.com.

Hence, I created a new one - xyrothium@hotmail.com

Don't ask me what it meant, because I have no idea. I must admit, it sounds like a metallic element. Haha, Chemistry.

So, I'd like to ask everyone who's related to me, to add this new e-mail address of mine, and delete rainbow_flashes@hotmail.com

Well I guess it's time I create a new e-mail anyway.
I've been using rainbow_flashes@hotmail.com since Primary 3 and I find it a chore to type the whole thing in when I'm registering for stuffs online.
Also, some people just add me on MSN and never talked to me, I mean, what's the point?
So, creating this new e-mail would definitely rid me of people that I don't know of and people who just adds me for fun.

Thanks, so remember, do add me up!

Hate the sinner, love the sin.

I just saw Bernice's Twitter updates on her blog, seems like they were really having fun. Well, I guess I only have myself to blame for not going. Many people asked me to go for the chalet but I turned them down, straight. Can't blame anyone for it, can I?

I guess there's nothing for me to do there anyway, thinking about it reminds me of the chalet we had last year. I shall not elaborate further. I don't want to be repetitive. Hmm, somehow saying this makes me feel like I'm like the Chinese phrase - Declare the grapes sour because I can't reach them.

Anyway, I'm glad I straightened things out with someone, almost caused him to go in to a trauma. Damn scared that he would do crazy stuffs. But it's all over now, sorry to have caused all the trouble and the constant worrying.

;o Girl version of Last Farewell!

7 - The Unlucky Number

2009-11-23T23:44:00.004+08:00

7 - The Unlucky Number

AS TITLE SAYS.

7 people went to Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade today to get back $7 they paid as deposit from a scammer. The lady told the 7 of us to call a bastard, who's name is called Apple or Chris, in order the get back our deposits. We tried, failed. Walked around, bastard called, and told us to go to some really random address. Then we headed to Forum, The Shopping Mall, hoping the bastard would call us again to give us directions, but no, he didn't. So we walked past many 7-11 stores and walked past a shop that was having a 70% sale. So, Index No. 7 decided to make a police report, and the 7 of us went to the police station near our school. End result - our efforts are worth nothing. We only have 2 choices; try to meet that person again or go to court.

P.S I got the 4 of them into the trouble, if only I didn't SMS them about the job, this wouldn't have happened. My Sincerest Apologies.

Scammed.

2009-11-22T21:10:00.003+08:00

Went for the so-called job interview at Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade today.

Really pissed off. When we reached there, the person gave us a test - we had to sell 2 pens at 9 bucks each. Okay, so I thought it should be some really fanciful type of pen worth $9. But when we got our hands on it, it was just some ordinary ball-point pen worth about $2 at most. Nothing special. Okay so we filled the form with our particulars, paid $7 deposit for the pens and left. Then as we walked out, preparing to go home, we started to feel suspicious about it. Sure it's a test, but why would anyone buy an ordinary-looking pen for $9? Then we started to list out the possibilities of a scam.

So, I called back and asked if the person was still there so we could have our $7 back and find other jobs, and yes she was. Shuting got super suspicious, in a way that I can't explain. But as we tried to return her the pens, she told us about some Rules and Regulations of the company saying that we could only get our deposits back tomorrow. And at this point, I really look up to Shuting, she actually recorded the conversation down just in case it's a real scam. Really must hand in to her.

So we walked out, pissed off. And started walking round the whole of Orchard Road in hope to find some other job opportunities. End result - aching legs. Nice huh?

NOTE TO SELF : NO MORE JOB-HUNTING AT ORCHARD. IT SUCKS.

EDIT.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

But, that doesn't make me feel discouraged, I'll find some other jobs :)

If I failed both applications, I have an Expo IT Show to work at, for 3 days only though.

Just watched my sister watch Katekyo Hitman Reborn a few minutes ago. It makes me wonder how come the guy would get stripped to his underwear whenever he got shot in the head by the bullet. However, it's kinda funny though, might catch it online some other time.

Over the O's

2009-11-11T16:09:00.001+08:00

Okay, now it's time to go job-hunting.

After job-hunting, I'll work my ass off.

Life is boring.

2009-11-08T16:47:00.001+08:00

Life is so friggin' boring.

I have no Lobang, no PSP etc. etc.

And I wanted to study Chinese, but I have no idea how.

That's double the boredom.

P.S Anyone have lobangs to intro?

Big Bang

Okay as you can see what's changed.

Stupid Pic took me so long to resize, but still couldn't get the right size for the space.

Next one will be FT Island.

On the other hand, do enjoy the song, Last Farewell by Big Bang. It's damn nice

I hate SS/Hist

2009-11-01T13:52:00.001+08:00

Dang Dang Dang, I have no idea how I should read SS.

It somehow goes in but when I read the next chapter it gets purged out so the new chapter can go in.

What the hell.

I don't understand why.

2009-10-28T18:23:00.004+08:00

Maths Paper 2 today, damned Question 7, wasted 10 marks for nothing.

I left it blank so I could do other questions. I only had 10 minutes left after I'm done with other question. Blargh! I hate it.

So, I came back had my bath, wanted to use the comp for a while because my next paper will be on next monday.

So I was using facebook when my grandma called, then she started chatting with me.

Then...

Grandma : How come you never visit me or even call me for a long time.
Me : I'm having exams now.
Grandma : Ya, ya, finish exams forget about me already lor.
Me : No lah, I really having exams now what.
Grandma : You always never visit me one ( or something like that )
Me : You always say me, my sisters and my cousins also never visit you, you never say them.

Then she talks about me being the only son of her eldest son and blah and blah.

Grandma : Don't you think the way you talk is a bit too much?
Me : Uh... ya, ya.
Grandma : Aiya, next time when I die you just regret. *hangs up*

Like WTF. I seriously don't understand adults sometimes, one minute they say this, the other minute they say that.

I know one of my cousins often visit her, help her clean her house etc. etc.
But I don't, yeah, I'm unfilial and useless. Should have just severed all ties with me when I was borned and throw me into a rubbish bin, like all adults said. CRAP

Super Junior

2009-10-16T15:15:00.005+08:00

Okay, obvious changes. Here's something to share.

Just some background info.

Due to their big number of members in the group some of them can't really get on with each other well, so this program called Intimate Note invited some of the Super Junior guys to the show in hope to make them closer to each other.

NOTE : Pause the youtube player under my profile to off the Music( if you're blind )

Intimate Note - Sungmin and Kangin

When Sungmin laughed, I was kinda reminded of myself, laughing over nothing funny.

Intimate Note part 10 - Miss Intimate

There are like 8 or 9 of them in the show, so they were paired up into girls' outfits and had this Miss Intimate contest. Damn hilarious, wait till you see the part where the 3rd Contestant comes out.

If you're interested to watch more, search Super Junior Intimate Note eng and watch it from part 1 to 11. Enjoy

K-POP fever!!

2009-10-15T16:25:00.002+08:00

ZX told me the Brown Eyed Girls and FT Island are coming to Singapore to have a concert so I went to check it out.

Here

They'll be other bands.

I kinda wanted to go, but I'm not really a fan of other groups other than Brown Eyed Girls and FT Island. So $65 isn't going to be worthwhile.

But on the other hand, it's a rare opportunity for these K-pop bands to come to Singapore. But I doubt I'll be able to go though, nobody to go with me + it ends till 10PM which means I might have to come back late in the midnight. = /

Bad Throat Day

2009-10-13T18:15:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I had a real bad case of Sore Throat.

Today, I had a worse case of Sore Throat. How nice

Although there isn't much change in my voice, I'm feeling 2 lumps in my throat. Nice huh?
