Booo..

I just turned down a $1.4k job with 5.5 working days. Felt the pay is low considering the working days :/

Nota Bene didn't want me :(

PLEASE pray hard for me that better job opportunities will come knocking on my door if not I'll regret turning that job offer down!

Please Pick Me!

Prostudio contacted me yesternight regarding an interview today. I'm not free cos I'm working. Interview is shifted till tomorrow. I really hope I'm not selected if ever they were to make a decision even faster than Nota Bene.

I'm keeping all my options closed for Nota Bene. Prostudio replied too slow, like a week too slow. Initially I wanted to be part of Prostudio cos it looked promising, but when I went to the interview for Nota Bene, it seemed much more promising.

I thought Prostudio ain't even gonna want people anymore until I received their email yesternight. And frankly, I've been searching on jobs hunting website too for alternatives if Nota Bene don't want me. I've saved a few potential ones under my bookmark already.

Nota Bene said to contact me end of this week, and end of this week, I hope, is Friday because they're not working on Saturday and Sunday.

Oh please pick me, Nota Bene.

I Wanna Be In Love

No, no. I'm not in love.

Just felt that the image on the left is very beautiful so I just wanna make it into a blogskin.

And of cos there's the constant wishes that I'll have someone beside me soon because it feels good to be attached after such a long time..

Someone to be there for you always..
Someone to be your shopping mate when your shopping besties aren't free..
Someone to enjoy every single couple-should-dos things with..
Someone to be your movie mate when all your other friends have watched or does not want to watch that particular movie you wanna watch..
Someone to try out new food with.. :D
Most importantly.. someone who loves you for who you are..

Who feels like being in love now?

MAHJONGGG!

Mahjong luck was good. Won $16. Not so bad.

I can't stop thinking about this set of tiles. I had like 1 animal and 1 flower = 2 tai, then I pong-ed 白板 and 北风 (that round was 北风), which means whoever throw 大牌 will 包. Obviously, nobody dared to throw 大牌.

I had like 中中 六万六万 and waiting for either 中 which is very hopeless and 六万. I actually only want to win when somebody throws 六万 but dammit, I 自摸红中! ROARRRRRR~

It was so unbelievable can. Even Fai can't believe it because he accidentally saw my tile while I picked it.

LOL.

Job Interview

Went for a so-called interview for a job which I applied online. It's totally my dream job can! Web designing and totally don't need to wear office wear to work!

The boss is so nice too. He wanted me to take a look at the working environment and tell me more about what is gonna be expected for the job etc.

He asked me what's my expected salary. I just anyhow quote $1.3k to $1.8k.

"Nett? Meaning that'll be what you're gonna get after deducting CPF?", he asked.

"Er, actually anything leh..", I said.

"How can anything one! CPF is alot know.."

"Okay, then make it nett."

I don't mind it if he decided to pay me $1.3k. Because it'll mean I'm earning $1.6k inclusive of CPF.

Anyway, the money is not the main thing. The main thing is he said he will train me in graphic designing too! Since I'm more to multimedia area. The guy who's gonna resign soon was from NAFA and he was more to graphics but they trained him in the web designing aspect.

I really hope I can get that job! I will only get call next week. Those NAFA people he's meeting next week, PLEASE know nothing about web designing. MUACKS.

Mahjong luck was bad. Lost $35. PAIN.

Random

Air-con at KAP has been fixed! Though now it feels sooooooooooo cold, it's definitely better than feeling hot and humid :D

Donuts & a Birthday

Teck Wei's 20th birthday.

Went to queue for donuts from the Donut Factory!

It's so delicious can. Though we didn't manage to enjoy it while it's warm, but I still totally love the Peanut Butter Glazed. Double Chocolate is nice too but could be better if it's warm.

Basically we bought 48 donuts and held the queue for quite some time :x

Donuts donuts donuts~

Poo poo and ca ca.

Went Yoshinoya to celebrate his birthday and then played some pool and arcade.

Next time I wanna go queue for donuts again! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TECKWEI!

I'm a Cyborg but that's Okay

Went to watch I'm a Cyborg but that's Okay with 6th Storeys!

That movie is so so so sweet can. Some people may find it boring because it's filmed artistically but the whole show is totally sweet.

Of cos I'm tad bit biased cos Rain acted in it xD

Prawn fishing with the gang

Went prawn fishing with Peng Peng, Shu Mei, Shu Chen and Zi Qian!

It was alot of fun because it was all of their first time there. Nonetheless, we did create quite a commotion everytime we caught a prawn. No choice, I only like to fish, I don't like to put bait and I don't like to unhook prawns that were caught.

I hope the people weren't angry with us though, because it seems like we're the only ones who keep catching prawns and the others only caught one or two (or maybe they just don't make as much noise as us when we caught our prawns).

There's this two little girls who got so amazed by prawn fishing and stuck with me the whole night. They were cute and talkative but sometimes they get into my nerves :x The elder one kept wanting to move my rod because she thinks the prawns aren't there and I was quite irritated by that. Hah, their mum (I think) went like "Wah, you two so close to her ah. See the way she hold her rod, she gotta hold it more towards her side because you two stood in front of her. You even put your arms on her thighs."

LOL. Maybe I'm just a kid magnet.

Went Peng's house to cook the prawns after that. We caught a total of 9 prawns! Total damaged: $52.

Yi Jun so cute can. He was very curious to see so many people going to his house, and stood at the door looking outside. "Yi Jun, 没有叫姐姐"

He obediently said "姐姐".

"Yi Jun, 姐姐抱"

He threw his arms around my neck and I carried him.

SO ADORABLE RIGHT!

Anyway, this is funny but Yi Jun was on the verge of touching my left boob with his right hand when his mum immediately stopped him.

O_O

I've Graduated!

I forgot to mention that in my previous entry.

Nonetheless, I'VE GRADUATED!

Congrats to all who's graduated too :D

It was 14th March when I got all so panicky about my IHP results I even dreamt of it. I dreamt I got a C and I was so devastated I immediately woke up!

It was 10+am by then but I did not check my handphone because I don't want to be unable to go back to sleep as I'll be either too happy or too sad about it.

Few hours passed and I woke up. Read my SMS: B+!

Hopped out of bed to check NPAL.

WOOOOO!

I've graduated!

Here's my total results for my three years in NP.

GOODBYE NP!

好朋友？

13th March 2007

Lucius visited and I managed to take photos of him!

Here I present you:

I told you he's very adorable :D

This was the first attempt and he didn't look at the camera but he's still as cute.

I remembered his mum saying his birthday is in March so I asked him: "Lucius, when's your birthday?"

He said: "Yesterday everybody sang birthday song for me.. Happy birthday to me~"

So I asked his mum if his birthday was yesterday. She said no, and that it was the last sunday. I thought it was 11 March, but no, it was 4th March!

Yet it seems like yesterday to him. CUTE.

Then there was this cute little boy in store too. He had two elder brothers in which all of them chose a disc to rent. I scanned the disc and it happened that the youngest boy had chose the one he watched before.

"Erm, he watched this before, you still wan to rent this?", I said to his dad.

Dad to son: "You've watched this before, do you want to take another one?"

Son: "Yes!" (stood there looking at his dad)

Dad to me: "Anyway, he doesn't know what he's talking about, his brothers will choose another one for him."

SO DAMN FUNNY. I kept laughing lah! Laugh at his cuteness. Bleah.

14th March 2007

Went to watch 300 at Vivocity instead of I'm a Cyborg but that's Okay. My mood wasn't right so ended up making a fuss and then went to watch too cos I didn't want to be alone - I was already outside when they decided to change the movie.

Somehow tears just flow down. No, not because of the movie, maybe because of the accumulated sadness in me. You know, sometimes you'd just feel like crying for no reason.

Movie ended at around 11.45pm and we rushed for the last train to Outram Park.

Wenna and I were panicking cos we were afraid there might be no last train for east/west line. Indeed, there weren't any.

We were panicking, yet no one seem to ask what about us. No, I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just disappointed.

Actions do speak louder than words. At that point of time, we felt lost, yet there was no comfort nor concern. Cab naturally solves everything but it's steep.

We waited for someone to ask how are we gonna get home. No one said anything. We took the initiative to ask, only Sam offered to get me to his place and he will drive me home through bike. But I can't leave Wenna alone.

Nobody else said anything. After being friends for so long, we were just too disappointed.

Does it mean we're friends for so long, we don't mind anything? We're not asking for money to take cab home, we're just asking for concern, and maybe a solution.

Both of us just alight and there was the announcement said that was the last train. We wanted to get back to the train, but it left.

We are stuck at Outram Park.

We thought of crazy ideas: why not walk to Esplanade and spend the night there? Then we looked at the map, remembered the buildings we will pass by before reaching Tanjong Pagar MRT station.

We were about to start our journey when we saw this (maybe drunken) Indian man sleeping by the MRT.

Of cos we were terrified and quicken our pace.

Then we saw hope: similiar buses which might bring us home.

We part ways and took respective buses home. I took the bus to Clementi instead of Jurong East because dammit, the bus stop I was at has no directory board. Then I took cab home.

It was such a disappointing day.

I envy the girls who has concerned guy friends who will do anything to make sure they get home safely; even if the guys themselves do not possess a car or a bike.

I envy the girls who has concerned guy friends who possess a car or a bike and will be willing to go the extra mile to drive them home even if their homes are too far away.

Maybe I just don't have such luck?

IT Show

Worked for Microsoft for the past four days at the IT Show. It has been fun, fruitful, not forgetting tiring too. Apart from leg aches due to prolonged standing, my colleagues are nice :)

Lunch and dinner were synchronised with Wei Ming, Kenneth, Teck Wei and Xeno, so I didn't have to eat alone! Although I tend to the booth at Bell Systems alone, the people were nice.

Basically I think this job ain't as irritating as the Creative WHS, because people just ask you to compare every single MP3 player before deciding which one will meet their needs. In just one day, I think you'll need to repeat 59038u5395 times of the same thing. Although Microsoft is pretty much the same but then at least I get to earn commission for some of the items.

I know, I know, I'm abit too materialistic, but who isn't?

Last day was best because commission was increased and I managed to sell all units of the item with the highest commission :D (I still feel tad bit miserable for selling off the last set of the item because it was the display set and the mouse dropped several times)

Anyway, the main thing is I met quite alot of people too. Bumped into Uncle Daniel and he said he's transferred to block 5. He asked me for my contact number though, am wondering if we'd ever met up or something cos it's abit too weird? :x

As I've said, the people at Bell Systems are nice and they constantly fed me with snacks. Not that it's a very good thing nor it's a very bad thing but I realised when it comes to working full days for work, I get hungry very easily.

Just like when I work for Creative, I tend to look forward to lunch breaks and tea breaks. Dinner for last day was quite pathetic, there were only leftovers for lunch but I didn't want to eat food that was left for a few hours (not that I'm picky lah), but anyway, Kenneth ate half of his share and gave half to me.

Then I sat at my booth to eat the half and some too sweet kueh. The rest were packing up cos it's the last day. I know I'm pampered. Everyone was busy and I was just there sitting down and enjoying every bit of my food.

The coolest thing about the whole IT Show is the tattoo.

I know, I know, it's just a tattoo but it looks so cool and while putting that on, I felt as if I'm all so young again, pasting temporary tattoos on my arms and hands, feeling all so excited about the process and loving the outcome.

Maybe if fated and if I ever work for Microsoft again, I hope to work at the booth for Bell Systems.

One day if I ever go to Sim Lim, I will go up and ka jiao people, probably asking for snacks.

Happy Menses Day!

To me.

Cramps almost killed me during work yesterday.

Gonna work for the IT Show today till sunday.

Then working for laptop sales in NP on 22nd to 28th.

I'm gonna be busy, really.

Ask me why I don't wanna find a job which relates to my diploma.

I don't know either.

I don't have NS. Neither am I gonna enroll to University this year.

Go figure.

Break that routine!

I've been PMS-ing for two weeks already.

I know I know, it sounds tad bit too exaggerating especially to girls. I've never look forward to menses but this time I worry big time!

No. I'm 100% sure I'm not pregnant because I'm 110% sure I did nothing that can make me pregnant nor did anything happen to me that can make me pregnant.

Wenna said it could be stress.

I don't think I'm any bit stress.

I think it's the huge change in routine? I don't know. Ever since IHP ended, I've been sleeping in the wee hours of 4am. Waking up like 8 hours later. 8 hours is more than sufficient sleep for many people but I usually sleep for 10 hours. Nevermind that.

Sometimes these days I find it hard to fall asleep at 4am. I always make sure the latest I would stay up till is 4am but I always end up tossing and turning on my bed till I gradually fall asleep like half an hour later.

The last time I had menses was 20th Jan. I remembered it so clearly because it was the last day of Open House.

I'm so worried cos if I ever *choy* stop menstruating, it just means I can't reproduce. Everyone knows how much I love kids.

BTW I've found a new love!

I know everyone will be shocked because they pretty much know what I really hate.

But don't say I never warn you..

I LOVE BROCCOLIS!

People who knows me very well knows I hate vegetables alot and people who know me even better knows I'm trying to accept eating vegetables since last year. Kinda a new year resolution for me.

I was first introduced to broccolis on the first day of CNY. Had broccolis for reunion dinner and it was very tasty!

My mum cooked it today and I totally love it.

When I reached home from work, I was hoping to see left-over broccolis for me and I even asked my dad why he threw the vegetables!

He went like: "You eat vegetables meh?!"

And was shocked when I said yes.

I was more sad when I see broccolis in the dustbin :(

I think it didn't taste as well already because my mum cooked it like 2pm :'(

Broccolis mania. I think it's the best vegetables among all. The other are pretty much tasteless but seaweeds taste good! (if it's considered a vegetable :D)

What are the odds..

.. of winning lottery the first time you bought it?

Some people buy lottery for many years/times but they never win anything.

I think I'm damn lucky to strike lottery the first time I buy it.

I'm happy not because of the fact I won some money, I'm happy because of the fact I'm damn lucky..

It all happened when my brother asked "Never buy toto? $10mil leh."

"I don't know how to buy leh"

"$0.50/set"

"Oh. Help me buy $2.00 lor."

"So little!"

(remembers I won some money from mahjong the day before) "Okay, help me buy $4.00 then"

I wasn't expecting to win but anyway, I did check the winning numbers against my ticket and saw four matching numbers in a set. I remembered my brother said if there's at least four matching numbers, it meant I won.

So I called him and check.

DANG DANG DANG DANG~

I won myself $30.

Anyway, I think it's all fated because had I asked my brother to buy $2.00 worth of quick pick, I wouldn't have won because the set which won was the 8th set of it.

LUCKY ME.

On March 2nd, also the day I won lottery, it was Kai Ling's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAL.

Yesterday, it was Kenneth's birthday. BTW we watched Just Follow Law.

Basically I think in terms of morale of the story as compared to other Jack Neo's film, I'll rate this film just 2/5.

But for Fann Wong's acting, I rate 4.5/5. She has to completely "lose her image" to act this film because it's about switching souls with Gurmit Singh. It meant she gotta act like a man in a woman's body.

BTW I rate 5/5 for the Indian security guard Muthu for his entertainment purposes in the movie. LOL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE.

Hope you love the two years' supply of Chuan Bei Pi Pa Gao we bought you.

My sister-in-law bought me this piggy bank which can oink when I put some coins in it.

It's so cute and I decided to name it Casanova since it's decorated with heart shapes around the body.

MEET CASANOVA.

Let me end my entry with this last photo I want to share.

:P

24th February 2007

Remember the little boy with hot curls who gave me and Kai Ling a chocolate fudge ice-cream during work? (click here to recap)

Well, I bumped into him and his dad again after visiting at William's place! I bet M05 were like ?? when they saw I stopped by to talk to the buskers at the tunnel leading to the MRT station.

Yes, they're buskers, I felt so terrible after knowing they're buskers, because his dad has been so nice to buy the ice-cream for us due to his son's request. I know buskers don't earn their money easily :/

And no, I didn't give them any money too. That made me feel even terrible. I know I should have, but because I was too excited about seeing them again and that I was delaying M05's time, I left without placing some money in the hat.

But I believe I will meet them again. The sweetest thing is, the little boy remembers! Of cos that's after I told him a little about it. He remembers where I worked at and remembers he gave me the ice-cream. His dad also remembers I worked at the video shop and asked if I'm still working there. After I left, he shouted "I LOVE YOU!". HAHA, that's so cute. I shouted back "I love you too".

The reason to why I believed I will see them again because I remember some familiar guy was busking at the underground leading to Wheelock's place. I remember I was with my younger sister and he was very friendly greeting everyone who passed by, of cos complimenting everyone as well.

DARN. Why didn't I realise it that time.

Nonetheless, I'm happy bumping into hot curls again :)

Visiting at William's place was great! The food was good and his wife cooked pasta again! Darn, CNY just make me fatter because I usually go for second servings :/

Anyway, instead of ham pasta, his wife cooked seafood pasta! What luxury! Furthermore there was sandwiches, and erm.. I don't know what the food is simply great!

His dog is, as usual, hyperactive but this time round he didn't get to come out and play with us because Shida and Mardiana was at his place.

After William's, it was Kai Ling's. Dammit. So sinful, CNY is all about food and gambling, food and gambling, food and gambling all over again. I played four rounds of mahjong and a little bit of black jack know.

Darn.

Anyway, I think luck has been good.

26th February 2007

Met up with Nick so he could tell me and Kenneth more about the project we're assigned too. Woo, I'm not really jobless. Maybe I can try this out and then continue my job at Video Ezy.

Ended up mahjong because Fai said he felt like winning my money. ROAR.

Very sian know. Every table I sit in for mahjong, at least one person will say I always 放炮. Yet every time I'm the one winning.

Nonetheless, Fai did not win my money and surprisingly, I won abit.

Samuel is, as usual, so mean, ignoring me and stuff, even though I drew a sun for him. I asked him to call me 姐姐 and he said next time then call -_-; I don't always visit you know. Roar.

28th February 2007

KAP is so damn stuffy and warm. Work has become frustrating, choking and horrible. It just slow down my work pace and I complain about the heat every now and then. Walking into Cold Storage or McDonalds is equivalent to walking into heaven. Yes, it's so exaggerating. It's so pathetic we had to use a fan in it :(

Somebody please save KAP.

1st March 2007

Geez, I should be working on the website. Yes I did and I handed in the prototype but in between, I went out for like eight hours of mahjong. How sinful is that?

Chen Chen lah, tempt me :/ Anyway it was fun lah. Able to play with new kas.

And dammit, someone whom I only know today also say I always 放炮. But I still won for the total of three rounds we played.

But seriously, I think luck was good man. Someone had like 9 bamboo tiles in front yet I threw out 7 bamboo and I paid for all. I still won.

I initially had like 3 tais, 1 flower tai (my own flower) came, and then I go touch another tile, I mahjong-ed, become 5 tais.

But luck is always not that good.

So I'm still lucky for now :D
