I'm so pissed with one of the customer today.

The daughter of this regular, I shan't name names, came to return this disc. I scanned return, computer was tad bit lag, so I just said thanks cos I assumed it's not late. Daughter started to turn and wanna walk away while to my horror, I saw the disc was 30+++ days late.

I went like:


ME: Er.. Wait.. The disc is late.

I waited for computer to load finish cos I needa go to transaction screen and realised to my horror that there's other late fees which amounted up to $50++.

ME: There's other late fees as well, are you gonna settle it today?
Daughter: Er, no, my parents will settle them.

Daughter walks out.


Like around 20 minutes later, a lady comes in.

Lady: My daughter came just now to return a disc and you told her "DON'T BE LATE NEXT TIME"?
ME: Huh?
Lady: She said you told her "DON'T BE LATE NEXT TIME".
ME: Huh? I didn't tell her that. I told her that there's a late fees and asked if she's gonna settle it, I did not tell her "Don't be late next time".
Lady: Don't you dare talk to my daughter like that. Elizabeth knows me, she will settle my late fees. You better talk to her next time.


DAMMIT RIGHT?!

She keeps pointing her damn index finger at me while lecturing me after that. I tell you if I'm a lunatic, I would have bitten off her index finger, pull her hair and spit at her!

But I didn't, considering the fact that I'll bring a bad reputation to the company and that I'm not a lunatic.

BUT I WAS WRONGED lor! I swear I've never talked back to a customer like that my entire life. (I'm refering to how she malign me.)

Besides, she thinks I'm earning big bucks huh? I'm there to serve people not getting scolded for something I did not do.

I just stood there, brows wrinkled, and let her lecture me because I knew better not to talk back. I also kept saying sorry can.

Then she kept going on saying "next time you should talk to the account holder rather than my daughter".

Fuck lah. Some customers (95% of the time, caucasians) who knows their disc is late and asked someone to return on behalf of them, naturally gives the person who's helping to return the late fees money. That's the reason why I asked her if she's settling or not what.

She kept mumbling about it even when she's gonna get out of the shop, and before she left, she lifted her damn index finger and asked me to talk to my colleague next time.

Fuck lah. She thinks she's such big shot huh. I know I wasn't wrong, I'm not agitated by the fact that I was wronged but the fact that she still continued lecturing as if it's all my fault makes me so fucking pissed! I mean, even after I explained I did not say that, she still just kept scolding and scolding and scolding. She just want to win. I would have slapped her hard in the face lor!

When I told Elizabeth about it, she said probably something's bothering her that's why she took it out on me.

FUCKING CB.

That what I scolded sliently after she left.

Here comes the best part: she's a Singaporean.

It's time for me to update! Well, I shan't touch on the chalet as yet, cos the photos were uploaded to this server where it uses flash to enlarge the entire photo or something like that, so it's very tedious for me to kinda "screen-shot" and then save it. Anyone has easier options to get the photos?

By the way, I went to Malaysia on 24th, after my mum came back from work. Then stayed there till 25th afternoon, did some shopping and head back to Singapore. If anyone notice, my visit to Malaysia always meant BABIES AND MORE BABIES!

Of cos I came back with many many cute babies/kids photo to share. Hence this entry is image-intensive, full of babes, oops, I meant babies. If you don't like babies, you can click on the top right hand corner of your screen. If you simply love kids, you can scroll down!

Well I reached my Grandma's house and then I saw the brothers I love: Wu Jun and Wen Kai! They have a new baby brother and he's as cute as his elder brothers :)



CUTE RITE? Name's Yue Zu or Ye Zu, didn't really catch it properly. He's totally cute and smiles alot. Just make those typical "noises" that babies love and he'll just smile widely :D





Simply CUTE!

Well, I regretted not carrying him! He's two months old and when my so-called Aunt asked me if I wanted to carry him, I said "no". Don't ask me why but the youngest baby I've ever carried was two days old and I declined carrying this cute little one! :(

Yue/Ye Zu is my so-called cousin cos he's my grandpa's sister's grandson.





This trip is definitely fruitful cos Wu Jun and Wen Kai remembers me! That meant alot to me cos I used to have to make them like me before I can play with them. It was hard trying to play with them the other time, and they still remember me :)

They simply acted as if they didn't care about my existance and then just ignore me when I tried to talk to them. When I asked Wu Jun what's his baby brother's name, he went like "不要跟你讲!" (don't tell you!~) and when I attempted to ask others (even though I know but I want to see his reaction, he went like "不要跟她讲!" (don't tell her!!)

Oh and I attempted to take photo with Yue/Ye Zu.





SO CUTE. Lewis thought I photoshopped the photo. No lor, is cos I take photo with baby, baby don't know, baby move.

His head is so damn small. (-_-; if his head is bigger than mine, I would've freaked out the moment I see him)

Some photos for viewing pleasure:










(nice effect there)





Well, like elder brother, like younger brother.



My sweet sweet cousin, she's only five :)



Jun Kang! I didn't know he's my so-called uncle's son but anyway I remember him cos he's this really fragile little kid. The very first time I wanted to play with him, I stationed him on the bed in sitting position and then let go of him. The next moment he almost fell on the floor and I was lucky I was fast enough, man.





He cried when I tempted to carry him :(





Beautiful candid shots.







So violent of them :/





SWEET~





Cute Wen Kai.

That's all for the photos.

You know, throughout the trip, I was literally abused by the kids. There was the pulling of hair, beating me, pestering me to play with them, sitting on me to get me to wake up etc etc. Despite all that, of cos I had fun.

The sweetest thing(s) that happened was having the two brothers, Wu Jun and Wen Kai to come over and find me. They ignored him while I was over at their place, but when I wasn't around they came to find me :)

Wu Jun: 刚才我们来找你leh~ (Just now we came to find you leh~)
ME: 有啊?我不懂leh. (Really? I didn't know leh)
Wu Jun: 有。我们没有看到你,也找不到你。你刚刚在哪里? (Ya. But we didn't see you around, where were you?)
ME: (smiles) 我刚刚在那个房间 (points to room) (I was in that room)


SWEET.

When I was bathing on 25th (because I had to leave my grandma's place to go back to Singapore), I suddenly heard my cousin call me.

Zhen: 珊~Wu JunWen Kai来找你了。
ME: (shocks!) 叫他们等我!我要出来了!


SWEET.

But when I came out and look for them, they had already gone to the barber to have their haircut. Even before I offically leave my grandma's place, I did see them.

Although I was also tortured by the two brothers (they did beat me too), I thoroughly enjoy being with them. cos 1) they remembers me 2) even though I know they purposely ignored my presence, I know they miss my absence cos in just one day, they can actually come over three times just to look for me.

Maybe the fact that they remember me didn't amaze you but imagined! I only visit Malaysia like twice a year and those trips only lasted for a maximum of two days and to have them remember me, is simply sweet. I've mentioned the word "sweet" for the umpteenth time already but it's just so sweet! :)

And for all those, I'm really really contented.

**********

Sadly, 3D modelling is very hard. Gotta go school today (it's wednesday already by the way) cos Thursday is the checkpoint. Haven't even done anything! :/ (I did try out how to model lah but it didn't turn out well and the file was kinda corrupted :()

Work was weird today. When I reach KAP, I was expecting tons of discs at the cupboard to be returned to shelves.

To my horror, there was none.

Perhaps it was true when Kee Ann said she has changed to become quiet and then she'll just do her own stuff.

But no leh, apart from the horror upon seeing the shop so neat and no disc at the cupboard, she is so chatty with me. I even lend her my phone to listen to songs so I could infra the songs she wanted to her phone. Then she went off to break without her phone cos you know lah, infrared is amazingly slow.

To my horror, she came back after one hour. She usually go for almost two hours break.

Everything is basically so weird. I kept having to find something to do cos, it's just so weird.

I guess I was tad bit harsh on my previous entry but it's just the first day she's like that. You know, she might just get back to her old ways soon cos it's all like a habit to her.

Of cos I hoped she'll just remain like how she was today.

Well, on Monday I had a chalet with the VE people, a farewell party for Sadikin and Kah How and a birthday celebration for Annie. Games was a hell lot of fun and you wouldn't wanna know what I got for forfeit.

Buai tahan lah. VE people are all so sporty and fun-loving and crazy.

Stay tuned cos I wanna upload photos when I got them!

Sales yesterday was terribly good. It's twice the usual amount, and of cos that meant we were busy the whole day. Damn it was very pissed with my senior colleague. Not only she went for two hours break (as usual), she came back doing nothing: she just sat there eating her desert. First things first, my supervisor has already stated that we can no longer sit on chairs. Secondly, she went home earlier.

She was supposed to leave at 9pm but god dammit, she left at 7.45pm. Maybe even if she stayed, she would be doing nothing but I'm just pissed with the fact that she went home early to rest. Worst still, she already changed out of the work tee like 7pm and then just lean against the table till what seemed forever. There were many discs at the back and what Kee Ann and I had planned was to put them back on shelves when the cupboards are full and that there were many customers around. We simply don't want to interrupt them browsing titles with "Excuse mes" just to put back the disc.

So that old woman went like "You guys don't know how to put back disc?". I went like "Wait till it's full." Kee Ann just kept quiet cos he don't want to have any disputes with her. Then she practically said "You guys are so lazy. If I were you all, I would have put back the disc. Say what put back when it's full, pure lazy."

SHE DIDN'T EVEN MOVE HER ASS TO PUT BACK ANY OF THE FREAKING DISC THAT WAS LYING IN THE CUPBOARD.

Nevermind about that. Endure. She dislikes me anyway. Then when both me and Kee Ann both split up and put back disc, she just lean against the table, as usual. Then when a customer comes to return disc (bear in mind RETURN disc only lor. That's only scanning the disc!) she just went like "Huei Shan~". Of cos I knew what she meant: come over and serve.

WTF RIGHT?!

Fine. I endure. I see that she work there for a long time already and the fact that everyone else knows her working attitude and yet they can't sack her due to some reasons. Sighs. Just endure.

Well, I believe there's always the blessing in disguise: there was a cute little boy with cracked me up at night :)

He came in with his older brother and sister, sister was browsing at the ex-rental bin, brother was walking with him. The little boy was shorter than the counter and he came up to us and went like "Do you have Maple cash?"

After showing him the designs we have in store, he asked for Aqua Road cash which I didn't have any idea what was it but was told by Kee Ann there's such card but we don't have it and I told him we don't sell that.

Then he went around the store, pestering his brother to help him ask for some title.

Brother:
Do you have High School Musical?

ME:
For rental?

Brother:
Ya.

ME:
Er. Hold on. (checks comp) Yes. We have. (shows them the disc)

Boy held it and take a look at it.

Boy:
Do you sell it?

ME:
Ya. But we no stock already. Maybe you can try the Jelita one. (Jelita is a place in case you don't know.)

Boy:
Can I have a look at the Jelita one?

ME:
(laughs and trying to control) You have to go to Jelita and look at the Jelita one.

Sister:
Don't be silly! (to the boy)

Boy:
Oh. Thanks.


Boy starts to wander around counter and then stops at the counter. I was looking at him of cos, he's such a cutie pie.

ME:
How old are you?

Boy:
Russell.

ME:
Oh. I mean how old are you?

Russell:
I'm 5. How many years old are you?

ME:
I'm 18.

Russell:
What's your name?

ME:
Shan. But you can add the jiejie behind also.

Russell:
Ohh.


Russell saws the Steve Irwin disc we're selling and pesters the sister saying he wants to buy that. Sister then borrows the shop phone because her handphone battery was running low and then hands the phone to Russell after talking to the mum.

Russell: (on phone)
Mummy ah. I using the shop phone ah. Can I buy the Steve I-win, the crocodile hunter, disc?


He's so cute lah. Have to specifically tell his mum that he's using the shop phone. CUTES.

Okay. Maybe you won't understand how come I find him cute by reading the dialogues but he's really cute lah. Before he went off, he said "BYE SHAN JIEJIE! SEE YOU NEXT TIME!" and it made me smile :)

They went to McDonalds after that and then we were doing closing by the time they finished buying the food. When we heard the door was opened, me and Kee Ann kinda felt sian cos we thought it was some customers who want to return some disc but who knows it was Russell and his brother!

They came in to say BYEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~

:D

I'm so disappointed with my results. I thought I did well for UED and ECAD exam papers, but darn, I still get a miserable C+ for those two. My GPA fell greatly as compared to my previous semester; it dropped by 0.6! My GPA for previous semester was 3.2. Do the math yourself.

Also, it's the first time I had a C on my result slip! I mean, I've never fall below C+ before! Furthermore, I had to Cs this time!

I guess I have really high expectations of myself. I want to further my studies in University, and I don't want to start from Year 1 if my results can't take me to Year 2 straight. I mean, it's not a bad thing starting from Year 1 if I really can't go straight to Year 2, at least it's better then not being eligible to study in University BUT it means having to pay for one more year of studies!

I do not have that much money to pay for the fees! I'll be paying the fees myself cos my parents can't afford to pay for me. After all, they paid for all my stuff up to date: like my laptop, clothings, shoes etc since I'm young. I started to pay for some of my luxuries when I'm in secondary school but of cos those money came from my pocket money (indirectly from my parents) and I save it up for things I wanted.

They paid for two semesters and the remaining ones were paid by my brother's CPF and loan from school. That means I have to pay back after I graduate if I do not want to accumulate interest from the school loan. But if I immediately go straight to University, it means I have to loan from the bank.

Again, another loan. Not a very good idea. Cos that means by the time I graduate from University, I'll be heavily in debts.

However, if I work, perhaps for a year, after I graduate from Polytechnic, and then continue my studies in University, I might already lose touch with what I learnt in Polytechnic (that is if I decide to continue what I did). Worst still, I might already not want to go back to studying life.

Damn. Either way, it's a bad choice.

Any kind soul willing to lend me the money for the fees in University without interest?

Oh by the way, I finished stitching my Tigger pouch! Well, I've been looking for a nice Tigger pouch to keep my important stuff or my handphone and I happened to see the cross stitched Tigger pouch owned by Lewis' friend! After visiting the library on Wednesday, I went to Watson's to find some stuff and passed by this handicraft shop and saw the one and only Tigger pouch!

Of cos I bought it and stitched it :)



In the midst of stitching, I took this photo so I could show others what I was stitching.



NICE RIGHT! Inevitably, there were some errors in which I had to fix while stitching, so it took much longer to complete it. Nonetheless, I'm so proud of myself! I guess I'm not touching cross stitch for some time cos it hurts my fingernails badly. Don't wanna trim my nails cos it has grown quite long after I trimmed it short two weeks before exams. I want paint my nails :)

I decided to stitch my name "SHAN" at the bottom right space. Supposedly, it should have "T is for Tigger" at that area but I figured stitching my name would make that pouch much more unique so I shall be heading down to the library to find some cross stitching books with beautiful fonts!

If I ever lose that pouch, I guess I'll just cry for days man. Imagine! All my efforts gone! Also, it's so beautiful everytime it just puts a smile on my face when I look at it. Okay, call me a Tigger Freak but Tigger is just so cute! All the Tigger accessories I have start to appear in my belongings: the Tigger keychain Kang Wei gave is chained to my black pouch which I bring out almost everyday, a Tigger handphone strap on my handphone and now a Tigger pouch!

:D

Tigger makes me happy, same goes to Jay Chou.




I miss your presence.
The days I used to see you online
and then smiling to myself
cos I know you're safe and sound
are gone.
Where have you been?
Are you fine?
Have you been sleeping well?
Are you enjoying yourself out there?
These thoughts cling on my mind.
I guess the saying
"Absence makes the heart fonder."
applies to how I'm feeling now.


Do you think of me just like how I always think of you?

Wednesday, September 13, 2006

The lozenges I had to suck as slowly as possible to ease my sore throat numbs my tongue. Period.

As contradicting as can be, I dreamt I was gorging on all sorts of titbits: gummies, candies, potato chips.

SAD. I can't eat those! My throat felt a little better today but everytime I stop talking for some time and then open my mouth to speak, my voice sounds weird, like abit man-ly.

PASS ME THAT PACKET OF OREGON FRESH HOT & SPICY POTATO CHIPS!

You know, I think one of Jay Chou songs have a huge impact on me. Yesterday I woke up just to see my lunch which looks quite inedible. There was little rice (which I'm not mad about it actually, cos I'm on a eat-less-rice-more-meat diet) and there's this superby oily yet disgusting looking meatball. It was HUGE, really and it does not look edible at all. The color of it seems quite raw; tad bit pinkish and greyish at the same time. In conclusion, it just looks horrible and inedible lah.

So I complained about it, in chinese of course.

ME: "Wah lao eh. Like that how to eat."
Mum: "I knew you would say that when you see it."
ME: "Really lor, eat liao will full meh."
Mum: (starts nagging) "I wake up early in the morning to go for work, buy lunch for you girls and then you complain about your food. Bla bla bla bla bla. You girls ever asked if I wanted to eat anything from outside? Bla bla bla bla bla."
ME: "Hannah hannah.." (closes food packet and walks to room)
Mum: "You want me to cook egg for you izzit, or open a can of curry for you. Bla bla bla bla bla bla."
ME: "Wait. Let me try the food." (still looking pissed)
ME: "EEEEEEEEEEE. I want curry chicken."

Then she went to heat up the can of curry chicken for me and told me when it's ready.

I didn't say thanks at all.

After finishing my lunch, I went to my room and started using my laptop. My laptop's playing Jay Chou's songs and then it was shuffled to 听妈妈的话. (Listen to your mum)

听妈妈的话~ 别让她受伤~ (Listen to your mum, don't make her sad)

I sensed a tint of guilt in me. I still didn't say thanks nor sorry for being so self-centered and not thinking about her feelings, because I was more concerned about the fact that I was gonna starve. I didn't hug her to tell her how thankful I was because my relationship with my parents is not initimate to begin with. I guessed my mum had pampered us too much already.

I know one day I'll regret not telling her those words or how much I love her even though I don't show it but I guess I shall just try not to make her sad or angry for now. That's the least I could do since it doesn't matter if I told her I love her and did not show it in my actions.

I'm down with flu and cough, and my throat hurts :( Reason: I ate too much potato chips, too much chocolates and too much gummies for the past few days and now I'm gonna pay the price for it.

I also lost my weekend job. Dammit, I can't make it for the training cos I had to work lah! I'm so pissed off when my younger sis told me the person in charge said she give priority to those who went for training. I guess the places which still need people are like Toa Payoh? And I don't know where else.

Like I would go down to Toa Payoh to work just to earn that $28 like that (since we're needed 3 to 4 hours per day).

Nevermind about that.

Creative asked me to work for the roadshow this Saturday but sian, I working at KAP.

Guess what? Today I was late for school cos I overslept, and even though someone had helped me sign in already, I still must reach school early what, and I'm used to packing my bag in the morning before I go to school. So I packed the necessary stuff I need: PM textbook, my pouch, the books I borrowed from library as reference, ezlink card, my work polo tee etc.

When I'm done showering and changing and everything, I went down to take bus to school. Upon reaching school, I had breakfast with the girls and then we headed to library to settle down cos we needed reference materials from the library too. Settled down on a table at the cafe since we could talk loudly, eat and drink and everything and it was quite empty.

Then I placed my bag on the table, unzip it and realised: "What the f*ck, I forgot to bring my adaptor."

What's the big deal, you would say. Can use battery what.

Thing is, before I shove my laptop into my bag, I took out the battery because it will add on more weight on my bag.

YES. I was like that dumb kid who brought her laptop with no battery, no adaptor, nothing.

I'm done with complaints and I'm outta here.




P.S. Please don't laugh your ass off upon reading that forgot-to-bring-adaptor part cos I already feel so dumb typing it out.

For the next few months, it'd gonna be disastrous for me and Kai Ling. Both of us felt very stressful after the meeting with Jamie Telford and Susie Loo. Damn, we're gonna be dead.

Worst still, it might be an individual project. Jamie said it's tough if it's an individual project. I believed he's good at 3D animation, and for him to say that, I think it's really really tough. But he said he'll ask someone (I forgot who but is the person in charge of IHP) if he could have both of us do a team project.

DIE LIAO LAH!

On the plus side, both Jamie and Susie are really really nice people. Susie lend us a report for us to reference so we would know what a report is like, and damn, it's as thick as our secondary Chemistry and Physics textbook, and maybe a little thicker than those.

To prepare us for the report, Jamie said he'll request to have us kinda "blog" on this thing called wiki or winky or some sort. We can screenshot our findings on the internet, and then blog about our problems as we go along. With that, it's like a virtual report done by us and that we do not have to hand in a physical one. It is also for him to keep track of what we have done (in this way, there's no way both of us can slack, which is good) and if we're all done with the project, we do not have to panic about rushing the report at the end of it; we can jolly well just print out our virtual report.

He's totally nice right! Also, he is very cute lah! I wanted to go rip the Jay album cos I just got it and that I had endured despite having more than a handful of people haolian-ing to me they have the album, and attempting to send me. As I do not have access to the lab, I saw Jamie and asked him to open the lab for us, he went like "I have the power in me~" and then tap his wallet to the scanner. CUTE!

When he walked past us, he sorta bang his forehead on the door to catch our attention, that's so cute too.

And friday was my first closeup meeting with him, and I really think he looks like Robinson Crusoe :)

You know, now I hope he doesn't go google his name and then find his way to my blog and see me writing those comments about him. I'll be terribly embarrassed if he does that!

Well, then again, if you're here, please tag :D












Okay. I forgot what I wanted to type. I wrote that entry like 30mins ago and then people started to PM me in MSN and it keeps increasing, so I chatted with them and forgot what to say. But wait a minute, I REMEMBER LIAO!

JAY CHOU ALBUM STILL FANTASY IS TOTALLY FANTASTIC!

He added a new style Bossa Nova! His 听妈妈的话 is totally cute and 心雨 is sad. I love 心雨 best. Those 10 songs in the album are my ear candies for everyday until I can sing them without the lyrics book! I can't wait to view all the other MV and I really hope 心雨's MV won't be as disappointing as 黑色毛衣 cos that' s my favourite song in November's Chopin :)

You know, I'm glad I waited for the album to come out. You might think I'm quite stupid not to have my friends send me but the thing is, I felt it should be a surprise, like it should have been right from the start. So I patiently waited, dreaded the days which seems endless and then POOF! It's here!

JAY didn't make me disappointed :) In fact, despite the album leakage in China or somewhere, the album's still selling good!!

Yesterday was the first time and maybe the last time I do closing at KAP with Kai Ling. We close at 10pm but customers start flocking in after 10pm! Being nice to customers, we never say anything like "Sorry we're closing." since they came in groups. DAMN we closed at 10.15pm.

Well, that's not the point. The point is, there was this father who was teaching his son the wrong values! The family came in at around 10.05pm. By that time, the VCD area lights were off, a sign to indicate we're closing but apparently the customers ignored that fact, and then since there were no one at DVD catalogue area, I off the lights there as well. The little boy saw it and asked: "Daddy, why are the lights off?"

His dad ignored him, so he went over to his mum and asked the same question. No answer again. Then he walked back to his dad and asked again. I was standing near the door at that time to prevent more customers from coming in and the dad went like "I don't know, you ask that jiejie!" Then he was quite shy but I heard it so I answered: "Cos we're closing already."

Little boy: "Izzit? What time do you all close?"
ME: "Actually 10pm."
Little boy: "Daddy, what time izzit already?"
Daddy: "I don't know! I don't have a watch!" (still looking at ex-rental DVDs)
ME: "It's 10.10pm already."
Little boy: "Then why are we still here? We should leave already!"

Guess what the dad said.

Daddy: "There's still so many people around! Don't need to go first!"

..............

Like what? Just because there's so many people around and the fact that I already stated that we're closed, you think you can stay in the shop so long? I don't mind him staying so long actually, but for him to have that kinda thinking, I hate it! I mean, it's okay if he have that thinking, but saying that to his son?! So next time I supposed his son will follow his dad footsteps, patronizing stores when it's closing, and then loudly announce to his friends that since there're still so many people around, they can still stay inside.

We don't have extra incentives for doing OT lor!

GRRR.

Nevermind.

Earlier in the day, I was digging the gummies packet which Angeline bought for us from Australia and was looking for red gummies to chew on. This friendly caucasian saw me doing that and he asked: "Looking for the right color?"

ME: (laughs silly-ly) "Heee. Yah."
Caucasian: "Looking for the red ones?"
ME: (shocked) "Yes! It's the nicest ones." (smiles to him)
Caucasian: "Yeah, everyone loves the red one."
ME: "If there's a packet solely for the reds, I guess it'd be great!"
Caucasian: "Of cos, that'll be great!"

HEHE. You know, somehow that left a smile on my face. A little chat with an interested Caucasian customer is nice.

I prefer Caucasian customers actually. Not that I have anything against Singaporeans which I wouldn't cos I'm a Singaporean but I find Caucasians are more friendly!

When they walk into the store, they'll look at the counter area and they'll say a friendly "Hi!" to us and they're always very grateful when we find the title they are looking for. So naturally, saying "Hi" to customers naturally became a habit to me and as you might guessed, 99% of the Caucasian customers greeted back. Only around 10% of Singaporeans greeted us, and most of them are regular customers.

Not only that, the Caucasians are honest too! The other time I worked with Stacey at Jelita, there was this Caucasian who came to return the disc he borrowed, then he handed Stacey a Habbo card saying that time he purchased one but she gave her two. So nice of him to return! And indeed, when Stacey counted the number of Habbo cards in store, it tallied together with the one the Caucasian just returned. This I believed, if the cards ended up with a Singaporean, possibility of he/she using it is high. I won't deny the fact that I might just use it up too, it's just typical of us.

There's lots more to list out actually, but I wanna go learn how to sing JAY songs liao! :)

心里的雨倾盆而下 却始终淋不到他 ~

My hard-earned money in my bank account is slowly depleting and I just can't wait for last month's pay on 15th :( My money is depleting mostly cos I've been spending alot, and when I say alot, it means ALOT. Apart from that, I've been helping my friends pay for stuffs and I do not want to rush them into paying me cos I wouldn't like the feeling of getting chased cos of a debt. I mean, it's not involving huge amounts of money like thousands, it's less than hundred. Besides, it's not like they won't pay me, they will, just in matter of time.

NO worries, for those who still owe me money and reads my blog, pleaseeeeeeeee don't rush yourself into paying me back. I'm not blogging this out on purpose so you will pay me back my money.

Okay, so I'm taking up quite alot of hours to work each week so I can earn more, and hopefully spend lesser and save the rest. I've taken up another weekend job too, I hope I don't die out.

Days for me are like, work >> IHP >> work >> IHP >> work and it keeps repeating. As for this week, my only entertainment day is Monday. Went to watch Monster House with Reuben. I tell you that show is veryyyyyyyyyy NICE! Chowder is simply cute. It is highly recommended by me!

Oh my gosh, I guess I'm getting addicted to 3D animation movies. Open Season is only coming out on 30th November but I'm already anticipating it! There's also another show I'm highly anticipating for: Step Up! I'm sure it'll be darn good! (Step Up just shown in U.S on August and I doubt it'll be coming any sooner since I don't see it at Yahoo! Movies at all :()

Damn, I'm like a movies addict now. Can't blame me. I work in a video shop, I gotta update myself with upcoming movies and nice movies so I can recommend customers or give comments about it when one asks about it.

On Tuesday, I went to school for my first day of IHP. *YAWNS* It was only less than half an hour! The briefing was like what, 15 minutes? And then all we gotta do is sign our attendence both on paper and virtually and then we can go! After all of us frantically sign in before 10am, the lecturer said "Actually can don't need to sign in already, we can keep track with the attendence list".

You say fed up or not? -_-;

But we heck care anyway, we didn't sign out. Kai Ling, Shida and I went to Bugis library and then went to Bras Basah walk walk. We didn't want to go home so early!

Was working on Wednesday and then today I went to school to rot. I'm so clever to bring movies to watch! So we watched Take the Lead and High School Musical with the projector. SWEET.

Tomorrow I gotta meet up with our supervisors with Kai Ling. I'm so glad our supervisors are really nice people! Main supervisor is Jamie Telford (rumours said that he's nice) and sorta assistant supervisor is Susie Loo!

:))))))))

After meeting them, I have to go for work at Tiong Bahru, like very far lor, and work till 11pm somemore. I'm also working on Saturday, ROAR.

Then on Sunday, I must work on TOR already.

For next week, I'm working on Monday, IHP on Tuesday, should be resting on Wednesday, IHP on Thursday, should be resting on Friday, and working on both Saturday and Sunday.

OMG LAH. So no life.

HELPPPPPPPPP~

Suddenly I feel so sad cos I'm starting my In-House Project aka IHP aka FYP (Final Year Project) tomorrow! I'll have to wake up for school at 9AM on tues and thurs! (I hope not every tues and thurs).

Well but I should count myself lucky that I have a supervisor who looks like Robinson Crusoe.



Okay, that's not the point. (well, he's handsome!)

But on top of being good-looking, I heard he's a niceeeeee lecturer! Like Reuben said he'll confirm make us pass our stuff one. That's great you know!

:)

Then again, I'll have to wake up 9AM on the days I have to go to school (that's what I think so for now)

On Mondays, there'll be the monday blues, so it's great that I don't have to be in school on Monday. Then comes Tuesday and I'll wake up early for IHP and then rest on Wednesday. Imagine if I go out on Wednesday, have loads of fun but the next day I'll have to drag the unwilling soul to school!

:(

Basically what I have to do for my IHP is to create this character name Jene or Gene to be used in a 3G mobile phone for reminders to the user, such as appointments, meetings, occasions and I think alarms too.

That's what I know so far.

Character modeling might be alright for me but the part to make it set reminders for the user?!

I think I'll need to learn some programming language!

WELL, GOOD LUCK TO ME! AND TO EVERYONE ELSE!

Again, I'm lazy to blog.

I seriously have to change my room layout. The position I'm at while using laptop, is horribly lazy. It's like once I start to use my laptop, I'll just lie there, feel all so lazy, sometimes I'm so lazy I even use one hand to reply people on MSN.

Darn. Not going out tomorrow, I shall clean up my room abit. I got this weird habit, when I have nothing to do, like I'm out just cos I had to buy something and then I don't feel like just going home after that, I'll go Daiso and shop shop, see what I'll need to beautify or tidy my room.

Anyway, here are the photos of what I did for the past weeks.

20 August

Yeah I know that day's wayyy back but I've got delicious photos to post up.

There's this bun shop at Toa Payoh Central!



The buns are totally YUMMY!



But I bet the boss earning big bucks. My mum sellls those buns (of cos the uncooked ones) as low as $2 I guess (I don't know), for a dozen. And it tastes yummy too when my mum steam it up with luncheon meat :) sometimes with eggs! *arghs, I feel hungry now*

24 August

END OF EXAM! Oh yes, Hakka blood and I saw this BEAUTIFUL chocolate fountain at marina square!!



You know, he was like "Look at that!"

ME: "What?!"
Him: "Thereeeee"
ME: "WHAT?!"
Him: *tsk* "Thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
ME: "HUH? I don't see anything!"
Him: (walks over to fountain) "THEREEEEEEE"
ME: OHHHHHH!

That's totally so blind of me -_-;

Oh and here's a glimpse of my first puff.



Okay photo's blur cos it looked fine in my 20% sober mind at that point of time.

27 August

KBOX at Marina Square! Did I mention how granddddd it is?



Beautiful decorations.

You know, luckily Kenneth asked me to make a reservation cos there was a terribly longgg queue when we reached. Those who did not make a reservation gotta wait for empty rooms while we got our room!

SO BIG CAN.



SEE WHAT I MEAN? There's only three of us! But anyway the design of the sofa seats, the location of TV and stuff, kinda sucked. It's like the people who decided to sit on stools near the door will end up getting anti-social because they're like hidden in their dark corner on their stools. Totally sadist. And the TV is very small. My house TV is much bigger than that. For a room that big, I think they should provide bigger TVs!



Okay I should stop complaining.

The whole choosing song program is also different!

The entire bad thing is, it's not carpeted, which I totally hate, and that when your time's up, they'll just stop the system from running after your last song! ROAR.

02 September

HAD POPEYES FOR DINNER! Finally tried it :)



The whipped potato is YUMMIER than KFC's!



But I hate the little little chewy things in the whipped potato. I think it's veggies! The spoon also very cute :)

NOW the STAR!



Nononono.. Not the chicken wing and breast! I mean the BISCUIT! The biscuit is totally delicious!!!!!!

Who wants to accompany to Changi for Popeyes next time! I want to eat the biscuit!!!

Well, the biscuit is more like a biscuit bread, it's crispy and crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside *drools*

Arghhhhs. I'm so craving for the biscuit. Oh and the chicken did not satisfy me. It was burnt! :(

Randoms

Don't remember which date this was, but I started cam-whoring in the store even though there were customers inside, of cos I did it secretly.



I kinda like this photo best. Supposed to be a bad photo cos my hand covered like 1/3 of it but I think the "effect" is nice!

And then there was this little boy who totally caught my eye!



Click for larger view.

He's like totally checking me out.

Okay I lied. It's actually cos he looked at me, and I waved at him. Then he felt curious and started turning to look at my reaction everytime after he walked some distance. Of cos everytime he looked back I waved! He was like standing there stoned, probably pondering why am I always waving to him everytime he turned to look at me, with opened mouth.

TOTALLY CUTE!

I TERRIBLY MISS LUCIUS :(

Lucius and family stopped visiting since mid August already. I'm soooooooooo sad.

I forgot to mentioned, I dropped my Tigger on my way to work on 29/08/06. So sad. I realised it around 10 minutes after I reached the store. I even combed the whole store but found nothing. I even checked the toilet.

I'm so sad can. It's like, I bought that Tigger years ago, like three to four years ago. I doubt I can find the same one (unless in toy collection stores) again.

:(
