Finally got my mp3 player. Little square thing.
But like heaven was playing a cruel joke on me, the player was faulty so had to go back today to get it replaced. *mumbles*
Then there’s this…
Back to work tomorrow. The 2 days at home was heavenly. But all good things must come to an end. *sigh* Back to work to earn money.
New layout. It’s Buffy in Season 4. The headings were said by the first slayer in the last episode of Season 4. I think I love Season 4 and 5’s last episodes the best. Season 6 ended quite emotionally with Willow crying in Xander’s arms. Season 7…so bleargh.
This layout is up first while waiting for Nad to finish the layout she’s making for me. 🙂
Since the previous whiny entry, Mum helped me ask HR whether I could be transferred to another department. Unfortunately there are no vacancies in other departments. So I guess I’ll just stop complaining and continue working. *consoles myself* At least there’s money…
The only thing Mum and the lady in HR could think of is that I take leave when I’m having my monthly bleeding session. Just 1-2 days leave. Which is like now…coz it is Ribena Falls time now. Ok…better stop it before I disgust everyone.
Yesterday, went to school for JCG meeting. After which, Sis and I had lunch and walked around the mall. The mall was exceptionally crowded yesterday. Anyway, we bought tees from Bossini and a hamster wheel for the hamster in grandma’s house. No official name for that hammy yet. Although my aunt calls him “Stripey” and grandma calls him “Rascal”.
Sis, Desmond and I watched “White Chicks” yesterday. Hilarious movie.
Oh…and JCG might be screening “Casshern” for the inter-club screening in November. YAY!!! I wanna watch that movie. I wonder whether it will make it to the big screen in Singapore anyway. Someone in JCG *possibly Peifen* bought the DVD from YesAsia.
Free at last. Handed in the SIP report yesterday. As usual, the last minute queen woke up early to work on it till around noon before she went to meet Xiu Wei. Got the report binded, bought lunch and rushed to school.
After handing in, ate the lunch we bought and went for the debrief which lasted only for half an hour. It was stated 3-5pm. Haha…guess the lecturers had nothing much to talk about after all.
Sat around at the concourse, talking. Xiu Wei was waiting for Cas coz they were going to jog and to the gym. Me…well, just waiting for Sis to knock off from work. After Cas came, I went to the travel agency at business school. Waited for Sis. Then we had dinner together.
Dinner at Yoshinoya. One thing I hate is when there’s a customer, you should give your full attention to the customer. Not talk to your friends or sms under the counter. It’s very rude.
Oh well…going down to Taka now. Going to the work agency to settle the stuff coz tomorrow I’m starting work at NParks.
Listening to Hilary Duff’s new self-titled album. A little different from the first album. Not so much bubblegum pop? But it’s always like that. Somehow artistes mature by their 2nd album.
I got Hikki’s new album “Exodus” as well.
Last day of SIP today. Some of my colleagues bought me lunch. *sobz* So touched. I mean considering I’m just a SIP student, I don’t even expect such treatment.
I thought I would be full of complains by the time I reached the end. Ok…alright, I still have to complain about the lousy computer I got. Really…they should consider trashing it.
No…I didn’t get all teary-eyed. But somehow I had this feeling that I was leaving something behind. The people…my little cubicle. I admit I don’t really warm up to people I don’t know straightaway. So I tend to be a little more quiet…some sort like a little wary??? Most of the time it’s people who talk to me and seem friendly then I start to open up a little more. Maybe it was a little too late. Didn’t get to know everyone a little more.
In the beginning, I was sure that I was going to die coz I’m going to some super duper IT place where there’s database and programming…stuff that I ain’t good at.
And as time went by, I got to do other stuff. No programming stuff. But I just felt that I wasn’t confident enough. Flipped through the papers every morning, seeing those ads for universities. Then it dawned to me that I didn’t know what I wanted. I’m not even sure this is the path I want to continue. Like I said before, I’m not fabulous. Just average. I’m interested in web design but I don’t have flair. And Cas once pointed out that you can pick these things up yourself. Yea…kinda true.
I don’t even know what I’m absolutely good at. Everything is just average this average that. Haha…maybe I’m good at slacking. Slackers.com…my future company. Ah…what rot.
So I’m 19 and aimless. Good combination huh. Ok…going along the line of crapz now.
Singapore Idol is full of crapz nowadays. Ever since Jessea got voted out. I don’t even know why that Chris-sy-pooh-topher and Jerry Ong still remain.
Wahahahahaha…one of my now-ex-colleagues, Vince said he’s going to vote for Jerry Ong. So if Jerry wins, he can go malu himself in World Idol. Not a bad idea… But thinking again, that would mean malu-ing Singapore as well right? Uh oh…
Wow…and that means it gives Taiwan the chance to insult us further? So what if that minister of theirs apologised. It looked like a half-hearted one. If you ain’t sincere then just forget about it.
And news just gets more depressing each day. People killing each other. Really, where is the love?
This has gone awfully long again. And I’m just rambling non-stop all over the place. Bouncing from one topic to another.
Kinda free now since my other colleagues have gone for the meeting regarding the task which we’ve been rushing since last Friday. So glad there’s no more overtime for me. For the past few days have been staying back till 9+pm. And end up having dinner at around 10pm.
Yesterday, met up with Nad for extremely late dinner at PS’s Long John’s. She had to wait quite some time for me coz I was still stuck in the office trying to get things done.
Hmmm…PS’s Long John’s closes quite late. I was afraid that they’ll close around 9.30pm and I was arriving later than that.
My supervisor did ask me whether I could stay on after SIP ends *which is this Friday*. Of course that means I get more than $500 a month. But I turned down the offer since Mum already got me a job at NParks. I didn’t ask my supervisor how much he was willing to pay. Even if the pay’s higher, I don’t think I want to take up the job. That is after quite a bit of consideration so don’t come telling me I missed a golden opportunity.
Oh…and tomorrow I don’t need to go to work. Supervisor giving me time off since I came back on Saturday to work. Yay! I have some stuff I want to do for them before I leave NCS.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I finally managed to park the damn car after 5 minutes 44 seconds and numerous knocks on the other cars. This is also my successful attempt after many failed tries. I think I’m not fated to drive. No…I didn’t drive a real car. Just this flash thingy my ex-colleague sent me. And I can see some of you guys gloating over the fact that you guys managed to park the car in a shorter time on the first attempt. Blah ah…
2-3 days of SIP left. Today will probably be the last day I have to work overtime. I can feel the dull ache and the eye bags already.
*shrugs*
Anyway, Mum got me a temporary job at NParks again. Will be starting there as soon as SIP ends.
Been thinking. I feel I want to say lots of things out…how I feel…how things are. But yet I don’t want to. Coz people might say I’m judging other people and I don’t want to. I feel like being my old self. But yet I don’t want to hurt people. I’ve changed. It sucks being so emotional sometimes.
Recently in the news, some Taiwanese burnt our country’s flag. That was after some Taiwanese minister referred to Singapore as a booger…yea right, talking about the size of Singapore. I’m so glad Singapore isn’t stooping to their level. So those Taiwanese had better reflect on their actions.
Sure…Singapore isn’t as big a country as Taiwan. That we are just a small red dot on the map. But I think we’re surviving better than you guys. Uh uh…before you rebut my statement, think about it. You guys are stuck in a position with China that can blow up any minute. Are we?
Wah lau eh. God must really be testing my patience this morning.
Stupid taxi driver. Don’t know where’s Ang Mo Kio Street 62, open your mouth and ask lahz. Your mouth is stuffed with gold that you can’t ask? *grrr* Luckily I woke up just in time to see him miss the 2 turns completely, turning to the wrong direction. So he just turned back. Whoa…if I didn’t wake up on time, God knows where he could have taken me to.
*waves fist* And he didn’t even charge me cheaper!!! *grrrr* SMACK YER FACE!!!
And I shall conclude that now I hate 2 types of taxi drivers. Firstly, the kind who like to argue with you even though they are ridiculously and obviously wrong. Secondly, the kind who think they know it all and don’t even open their mouth to double-check.
The former…once, there was this taxi driver who argued with me whether my block was in avenue 5 or street 12. He kept arguing it was street 12 although I tried correcting him. Got so fed up I refused to argue further. What the hell! I live there for 19 years and I don’t even know where my block is situated at? You gotta be kidding…
I’m planning to get my own domain and webspace soon. Used for hosting fanlistings and possibly the JCG photo album. And if I get a little more ambitious, I might try creating the JCG website. Currently one of the members has opened a yahoo photos account to host the photos but the space is running out soon and there’s not even a considerable amount of photos in there.
As to whether I’ll leave trilight, at the moment I’ll say no. Yea…I know I seem to be taking flight real fast. I’ve hardly parked myself here for long and I’m leaving already. That doesn’t feel and sound right.
Oh well…here goes the hunt for cheap and reliable webhosting companies/plans. Recommend please? Anyone?
And…today is lingy-ling’s birthday. Head over here to wish her a happy birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! O tanjoubi omedetou!!!
The weekend is always too short!
Thursday…watched “The Terminal” with Jo and Nad at PS after work. The movie was enjoyable. Never expected it to have quite a bit of humour. You guys should go watch it.
After the movie, we had late dinner at Pizza Hut. Yummyyyyyyyyy~~~
Saturday…met up with Ling and Xiu Wei. Just walked around the malls while Ling looked for a nice pair of shoes. We took some neoprints too. Been quite some time since I took neoprints.
Had dinner with family at Mushroom Pot in Orchard Point. Steamboat again…but this place specialises in mushrooms, thus the name of the restaurant. Yes Ling, a good recommendation for you. There’s one at Stadium too. That one’s much bigger.
Before dinner, we went down to Heeren. Sis wanted to redeem tickets for the Tiger Beer Euphoria ’04 concert at the Padang on 9 October. Heh…just coz Shin is performing. Well, but the line up of artistes aren’t that bad. Besides Shin, there’s Lena Park, Shinhwa, Michael Learns To Rock etc… Desmond’s father managed to get this whole bag of Tiger Beer bottlecaps coz he works at Singapore Country Club. We managed to redeem a total of 18 tickets!!! So yea…9×24 bottlecaps…since each set of 24 bottlecaps can redeem 2 tickets. Go do the math.
Oh…and I got a new watch. Been eyeing the Fossil watch for quite some time. The one where the dial changes picture. I do feel a little guilty that Mum paid for it. I think I’ll return her the money instead when I get my next pay.
It’s kinda fast…Thursday already. Officially left with 2 weeks of SIP. Big countdown begins. Haha…
So…Monday, I met up with Nad for dinner. Thought she might need a little company since she wasn’t too happy about certain things. We were back at Coffee Club. Haha…Kid aka the waiter whom we disturbed wasn’t around.
These days, I’m not sure why but maybe I’m tired, I can’t really focus on things. Especially when it’s a few things at the same time. I just kinda space out after a while or my brain just connects too slowly.
With that came the embarassing situation. Coz I reached Coffee Club earlier so Nad said I go get a seat first. Upon getting seated, the waiter/manager asked “Are you joining us for dinner?” I was thinking “WHAT???!!!” I was confused coz if you took that question literally, it would mean that we were going to have dinner with the waiter?! He had to ask that like 5 times before my brain finally connected and I answered “yes”. The question was whether we were having dinner or just having dessert. And the us meant Coffee Club. Hahaha…but maybe he should have rephrased his question so my brain might have connected a little faster.
Tuesday, weather wasn’t good. Rain. Took a cab home. I was tired anyway.
Yesterday, more work coming in. Sometimes I think I work too slowly. Anyway, the problem of focusing came back again. When my colleague came with the work and was explaining to me all the stuff, after the first few screens I kinda spaced out. The whole time I was going “ya…ok”. But in actual fact, my brain wasn’t even thinking and registering at all. Dangerous.
When I was leaving office, my mind was on work and how I might be working too slowly. I was trying to concentrate on watching out for cars and talking to Sis on the phone as well. Just had trouble focussing on everything at the same time. Dangerous again. I could have been hit by a vehicle.
Then at night, I was busy sms-ing Ling and Nad. Sis and Dad were trying to tell me things at the same time. I was also trying to listen to the news on tv. Getting a little pissed off with Sis coz she was just blatantly ignoring my Mum’s yells for her to go bathe. Oh yea…and irritated at the fact that she’s got a sorethroat but instead of resting her throat, she wants to talk so loudly.
Finally I got so fed up, I just switched off the tv. Less noise. Sis and Dad went quiet for a moment at my sudden outburst. And I explained that I had only one brain and 2 ears. So can I just focus on one thing at a time?
I’m so glad Colin and Christie didn’t win The Amazing Race. They are an annoying pair. I think the game is sometimes based on luck and making the right choices at the right time.
