Coming from an English-speaking family, speaking in Mandarin is quite a hassle for me. But…QUICK! Congratulate me now. I managed to answer a phone call with a Mandarin speaking customer. It’s not the usual call-in to activate a policy. She asked about the terms and conditions so the phone call was slightly longer. I managed to answer her questions mostly…

Today’s a bad day. 🙁 I had to handle 2 problematic calls which of course, I pick the calls, MY ass is on the line. To kena twice in a day makes me feel like I’m going to be suay for 3 years. I cannot understand why people refuse to accept the alternative and want to persist in forcing you into a…
your name in my notebook
Sudden thoughts. I didn’t blog about watching Death Note on Saturday!!! How could I have forgotten something so important?! :glare: Heh, so Sis, Jie Min and I caught the movie on Saturday. It was good. Sis and I agree that Light (藤原竜也) reminds us of Ohno from Arashi. That’s coz his face is round, just like Ohno. Sis was kinda…

Selamat Hari Raya to all my malay friends. Today is coming to an end. The long-awaited holiday. *really? raises eyebrow* Tomorrow will be back to work.

Always the one word question…why? It’s angry and disappointing at the same time. Only 2 words to describe…

trying to adjust
Come home, supposed to adjust back my sleeping time. Couldn’t. Was running around shopping for last minute presents. Running off to birthday chalets. Only left me more exhausted than ever. Finally found the time today to actually sleep in and get my internal clock back on track. Grandparents from Malaysia have come down to stay with us coz grandma’s health…

I wrote this long entry yesterday but the laptop decided to hang just as I wanted to post it. So, damn…it’s gone. I’m not about to retype it though. It’s my last day in Champaign, Illinois. Will be doing my last minute shopping of candy and more clothes? Haha. Then tonight will be grand squeezing time. Squeeze everything into my…
the academic bit
Almost 3 weeks in the States. Not that I don’t have internet connection but I have been rather lazy to blog. Haha…there are just too many things to do. Daytime, aunty wants to take me around to schools and stuff. So most of the time I’m left with night time. Of which, I’m trying to divide my time to use the…
still alive
Using the computer in the student lounge in the university. Man Ling and I are waiting for a friend so we can go for lunch together. It feels great to have a fellow Singaporean to talk to. I think I am her company in this foreign land. Hahaha…I make it sound like we’re stuck in some hellhole. No, we’re fine.…
