More Job Interviews & Photos

Time really flies.

I thought the last time I updated my blog was a few days ago but, horror horror, it's been 10 days.

I've been online quite frequently but lesser now cos I have/had ongoing activities. Life has been fruitful and I'm very happy with it :D

And I truly wish days like these can last forever..

Anyway, I went for an interview on Monday and on Tuesday. The one on Monday is not exactly what I'm looking for but it's a mean of making more money even though I won't be a web or a graphic designer I wish I am. The job I interviewed for on Tuesday seems promising but it's in Eunos :/

However, if the company accepts me, I'll just go for it. WISH ME LUCK!

I've been on unplanned shopping spree. Like yesterday, I'm supposed to just go for interview and then head back home but I hate the feeling of coming out for a short while and then having to head home straight. So I called Wenna. Surprise, surprise, she was with JJ in Chinatown and don't mind going shopping at Marina Square.

Ended up spending $160. The items we bought are half same can, and the total damage for both of us is just a few bucks away.

Geez.

Unplanned shopping spree is so so sinful. It's always like that: when I really want to shop, I end up finding nothing. But when I just want to window shop, I end up buying alot of things.

Well... girls~

I have some random photos though:

Beautiful neon light statues outside Esplanade. I miss band life.

iDevil! It's so cute I bought it for my sister and I almost feel like buying one nano for myself.

The very big room me and my younger sister gotten for kBox. Well, we weren't the lucky ones. The room behind ours was the big function room with pool table an projector screen. Three girls got it.

Please notice cute Giroro in red! The last piece can!

Two nights later I went back and look at the machine; Giroro's gone :(

kBox with my secondary school friends. kBox finally changed the JAY CHOU image in their database! At least now it looks better :D

Cute Alanah, Jie Xiang's niece. She's such a fast learner and such a sweetie. I miss her!!!

UNGLAM-NESS. Wenna and I queued three hours for donuts. We wanted to try piping hot donuts soooooooooooooo much we hurried to the fountain and get started with it.

TOTAL UNGLAM-NESS. It was quite a mess as the melted chocolate gets into our mouth while stained our fingers. Thick melted peanut butter even rolled down Wenna's chin.

DONUTS MADNESS.

Imagine if the donuts lost their balance and fell into the fountain.

3 hours of effort gone.

Blur Beauties. Li Ling always fail while attempting to snap a nice photo of us 3 girls because she didn't hold the shutter long enough to capture it. Quite frustrating for all of us. She did a demo on us and TADA, blur beauty :D

Drinking my heavenly Ice Blended Rosetea. (My freckle below my left eye is quite prominent but I once photoshopped it off and I look totally weird can! HAHA. Somehow I think that freckle makes my eyes stand out? :P)

I was Wendy's model for beanies and gloves. She said I look Japanese in this photo but the Watsons plastic bag totally ruin it.

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS MONOPOLY AND LIFE BOARD GAME.

It's so cute can!

The metal pieces are cute! Best of all, normal houses are presented by Spongebob's house and hotels are presented by Krusty Crab restaurant!

P.S. that's not the price of the LIFE board game. We just brought it over so we could take a photo together with monopoly.

That's all FOLKS!

Sick Dinosaur

AHHHHHHH CHOOOO!

I'm a dinosaur having flu now. I kinda predicted that yesterday but I still slept late cos I was rushing the last two episodes of 转角*遇到爱.

It's a MUST-WATCH! The whole show is so sweet and so sad. Made me teared quite alot for the last two episodes.

It's so nice I bought the DVD and 小猪 is so cute can.

BTW I had wanted to blog and add some pictures to my entry but apparently my handphone can't be detected while connected to my laptop. Period.

Anyway, looking back, I realised I've spent quite alot on movies for the month of March and April ;/

I've caught:

Just Follow Law on Kenneth's birthday with M05&Co.

300 on a random Wednesday.

I'm a Cyborg but that's Okay with 6th Storeys.

Stomp the Yard with a bunch of M05 people.

TMNT with the same bunch of M05 people + more.

Mr Bean's Holiday with my secondary school friends.

Meet the Robinsons with Jie Xiang.

Freedom Writers with M05&Co.

And I heard these movies are good too:

Sunshine

Nada Sou Sou

Because I Said So

More sequels to blockbuster movies are coming in!:

Spiderman 3

Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

Fantastic 4

Tell me how to stop watching these movies and spending more money on it.

I think I've also KBox like 3-5 times during March and April, mahjonged quite a few times too, prawn fishing once and one more this friday, ate good food on several occassions etc etc.

Damn, I'm spending more money on entertainment than on shopping.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

P.S It could be retribution that no companies contacted me for the several resumes I've sent. I've gotten a call this afternoon and I missed it because I left my phone in silent mode. I woke up like 3 minutes after that missed call and called back but the lady said they can't track who called me :( Could it be a job opportunity?

Grudges with the Theatre

I NEED TO BE LED TO THE ALLOCATED SEATS IN THE THEATRE AT ALL TIMES because I have the tendency to fall on the steps, and then find myself laughing at my own stupidity while still on my fallen position.

I think it's my astimagism, or maybe it's my night blindness. I don't even know if I have night blindness.

I caught Stomp the Yard last Thursday. Storyline wasn't bad and movie was good. Not as good as Step Up though :P And this day was when my first theatre incident happened. I walked into the theatre first, obviously looking for our allocated seats a.k.a leading everyone in but hell, that was a wrong move.

I ended up losing the step and there I was, falling smoothly onto the step and I ended up laughing at myself. Wenna freaked and laughed at me while she helped me up. She went like: "Hurry stand up, don't sit there and laugh."

I believed I freaked the people nearby too.

Watched TMNT last Sunday. Peacefully reached my seats without falling. The orange ninja turtle is soooo cute!

Watched Mr Bean's Holiday yesterday. Personally preferred his Ultimate Disaster movie but nonetheless, there was this part of the show which kept me laughing. It's the part where Mr Bean was trying to seek help and he saw this old man on his really slow bike scene. For those who watched, you will know which part I'm referring to. And frankly, that scene kept me laughing like hell.

Oh and the main part is, I also almost fell when I walked up the steps to our seats. The incident last thursday happened cos we're walking down the steps. This time it's up the steps. Geez, I must admit I can't really see the steps and the lights don't help too.

Sadly, I haven't received any reply emails regarding the handful of resumes I've sent. Neither have I gotten any call yet. Retribution? I hope not!

I saw the company which I rejected repost their advertisement again. Makes me feel really guilty but then again I can't regret. I mean if I were to call back, I'll be such a joke. I doubt he'll even want me back cos I might look irresponsible to him.

I NEED MORE LUCK.

I forgot to mention I've gotten godlike tiles when I mahjong-ed with Wei Ming, Kenneth and Fai.

Dammit.

西西西 南南南 中中中 北北 九索九索

By the way I seriously still don't understand why they said if anyone threw 一九 and I win, that person will bao. They also said if they threw words tiles and I win, they also bao.

Thing is:
1) I'm 北风北
2) Even if so, I only have 2 tais at hand what. One chicken and 中
3) I never even pong any 一九!
4) Besides, can't be 大四喜 lor, 东风 all out already.

GRRR.

That tiles is godlike can because I only had 西西南北中口一万二万九索 (I don't remember the other 3 tiles) to begin with. I had wanted to try 十三yao but the same tiles kept coming.

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

Lucky

NEW layout. Basically inspired by a photo Alvin showed me.

Played around with contrast level (suggested by Bun) and TADA, I made this. Maybe not very "WOW" but I like it.

Anyway, I think I've been lucky. In Malaysia, while I played 21 points with my relatives, I got like 2 ban luck and 2 ban ban. I even gotten triple 7 BUT too bad my aunt don't play triple 7 thing so it's just a normal win.

Today I got a call from Shu Chen for mahjong. I was the East wind, and I usually don't fare very well if I'm East. Luck was with me today though, not only did I self-touch several times, there was also this round where I had like 9 bamboo tiles shown to others and of cos they avoided throwing bamboo tiles, my tiles were like 4456, which means I'm waiting for 4 and 7. 4 is tad bit risky cos I already have two of it and two of 7 bamboos were thrown out earlier. But TADA~ I got a 4.

Geez. It's my first time one house win three houses know. Just one round and I reaped $30 winnings.

Well, people who plays mahjong will understand what I'm saying more.

BTW, this is so random but yesterday, though I was feeling pissed that not only I did not get to eat POPEYE as I thought we will, I also wasn't informed earlier that chances of having POPEYE for dinner is low because they had BK for lunch. Then I hopped through the ticketing machine at Chinese Garden (I decided to save money and walked alllllll the way to Chinese Garden), I got a call saying I don't have to go Changi anymore.

..

In the end, I met up with the guys in Orchard instead. Anyway, on my trip there, though listening to MP3, my eyes can't help but observe my surroundings rather than sleep. The lady sitting beside me left, and then I realised there were two mute passengers (this I assumed) on board, using sign language to communicate vividly.

The two of them found seats and stationed somewhere in front of me, as I looked at them, it made me realised I should be happier with what I have.

Not that I'm not happy with what I have or who I am now, but I must be happy that I'm blessed just being alive and normal; my five senses are working fine, my limbs and body and organs are working fine etc etc.

The two passengers are mute, and they live in their own quiet world because they can't speak. They might not be able to talk expressively nor say "I love you" to the people they love, but they looked like they're enjoying every bit of their conversation though sign language is much tougher den just moving our mouth.

As I look at them, it made me realised how lucky I am because I am fine. And no, this does not mean I look down at them because they can't speak. In fact, I feel tad bit embarrassed because sometimes there're the words I want to say, yet I don't have the courage to say. Sometimes there are the secrets which meant to be secrets, yet I can't keep. Sometimes there're the words which I already said, yet I wished I could take it back.

We should all feel blessed.

陪我玩...~

I think that's like the sweetest thing I can hear from Wu Jun. I think I really made a big leap. From being totally ignored by the cute brothers to making them coming to find me umpteen times just to look for me to play with them, I think I'm really good with kids. HEH.

In case you forgot how he look like. I was supposed to head back to Singapore on the second day of CNY but I decided to stay over cos the two brothers preferred me to stay for another night.

But then I kinda regret that decision.

ANYWAY, their new brother, not very new actually, has grown up so much! (refer to my profile picture)

LOOK AT THOSE DROOPY CHEEKS! ARGH!

The best thing about this dude is, he is totally NOT afraid of strangers. Just walk to the person carry him, gesture to carry him, and there you go, he's in your arms. Though he does not really put out his hands as if wanting you to carry him, he does not defend himself to say no!

Neither does he cry when you snatch him from the person who's carrying him. The only times he'll cry is when he's hungry and when he sees his mother. Just don't let him see his mother.

He gets excited pretty easily too. Like for example, Wu Jun took a mandarin orange and den hid it with some cute sound effects, he went all so high and kept giggling!

He sure is one cheerful baby.

I think I'll miss his oh-so-dependent state cos I believe the next time I visit him, he might be crawling, maybe even walking. His current state is those can't even crawl, quite wobbly, very soft and nice to carry around state. I don't mind carrying him for hours :D

Ye Zu is just so obedient can. There's twice I carried him and hide cos I lied to his dear older brothers that I wan bring him back to Singapore. Initially I walked to the gate, but was, obviously, stopped by the brothers. Then Wu Jun needs the toilet and said he go toilet.

"After you come back, I'm gone" and he didn't dare to go to the toilet. In the end he did went to the toilet though, but came back to find me disappear without his baby brother. Both of them frantically looked for me but found me 5mins later.

The next time I hide, I hid in the storeroom. Door was open but it was dark inside so I hid quite imperfectly perfect. (the storeroom has windows without glass panels) The storeroom was tad bit stuffy and I hid inside for like 10 to 15mins but the two brothers cant find me.

They even went back to their mum and said "Mummy! Baby 不见了!"

Ye Zu did not even cry nor did he show any signs of discomfort until the last few mins.

Imagine!

HAHA.

I just love him so much can.

HEEE.

BTW, Wu Jun is so funny can. I told his dad "我要抱他(Ye Zu)回家", his dad went like, "好啊!给我新币30,000". Of cos I just smiled at him.

Guess what Wu Jun said: "给我十块我就让你抱他回家!"

ROFL. I can give him 10 bucks so easily can, be it in RM or in SGD. HAHAHHAHA.

Kids are just so naive, or rather, 10 bucks is just so big to kids.

Simply too irresistible.

My aunt from my father's side has gotten a Golden Retriever! Name's Cherry.

SO BEAUTIFUL and she's just 6 months old.

My aunt's maid also grew roses at the corridor! I don't even know roses can be planted in Singapore due to the climate.

My perfect shot of the roses, please notice the blurry background effect. Definitely not photoshopped and my first successful attempt! :D

BAH. I regretted staying one day because, I ended up having diarrheoa in the wee hours because CNY is all about junk food, junk food and more delicious food!

And when I'm at the custom, my HP is flooded with messages. Nevermind it's messages, I could just reply them but to my horror, on the second night of CNY, my secondary school clique stayed over at one of our cribs to play cards and stuff, and that my class is at Wei Ming's crib already!

I wanted to join them know, but due to father's orders, I have to be back home for dinner.

:(

I think I miss quite alot of fun. BOO.

It's time to say goodbye

More than three years ago, I finish my O levels, started to get a taste of working life, then when results came, I made a choice and got to Ngee Ann Poly.

In a blink of an eye, I'm here, three years later in 2007, blogging about the days I spent in Poly. Days had passed so fast I could barely keep up with time; I feel I'm getting older and older every time I graduate from school.

Soon, it's time to say goodbye, or should I say, we never had a chance to really say goodbye to one another because we had our IAP/IHP this semester. Nonetheless, I spent a really fruitful three years in Poly. (or should I say two and a half years?)

There's always a time to say goodbye, even if we know we pretty much don't wanna leave the life we love so much, then again, it's time to move on to the next level of life..

In this entry, I shall write testimonials for people who left their precious footprints in my Poly years; namely the M05 people and a few others who made a difference in my life.

Before I get down to write those testimonials, I wanna apologize to everyone who may be reading this entry, whether or not, deep down I apologize to the people whom I've ever hurt verbally or maybe even physically. I'm sorry if my words ever hurt you because I'm a reckless girl. Sometimes I don't exactly find the right words to say before I start blurting out sentences that may hurt you in one way or another. Also, I apologize for any childish/immature/selfish things I've ever done to irritate/anger you.

However, I wanna thank you if you ever did anything to make me reflect on my actions. I also wanna thank all the people for making my life at Poly enjoyable. I wouldn't know what to do without you people.

Thank you M05 for teaching me mahjong (-_-;), teaching me how to fish prawns, teaching me how to ice skate etc etc. We've been through shits together during projects and overnight several occasions just to end up mahjonging. We've enjoyed each other's companionship during night cycling, during classes etc. We've got a great mentor too! Let's not forget to keep in close contact with one another after our official graduation okay?

Look at how much all of us has changed since year 1, time has passed so quickly..



(I bet the first thing you notice is YX's hair. So HORRIGIBLE! Where got people keep that type of hairstyle one! HAHA)

Now I shall start the testimonials according to alphabetical order:

M05
Cynthia
This girl here, though the oldest in class, is actually the most bian tai girl among all. She loves to end her smses with (.)(.) or some kinky stuff and never failed to crack us up with the most disgusting thing she can ever think of. Recently, she has gotten more and more youthful looking. Continue to look young, babe!

Fai
This guy is also pervertic. You'll never know what he has in mind cos sometimes when you see him staring at something or someone, and he realizes you are looking at him, he will give you the cunning and sly grin.

Jing Jie
JJ is Mr Nice Guy. Everytime I have problems with my laptop or anything, I'll go "JJJJJJJJ... I need your help!!!" Very helpful in terms of laptop stuff and in some academic areas. But one thing about him is, he is an anything guy! He always go "anything, anything" or cant make up his decision which kinda gets into my nerves. HEH. Please learn to be more decisive!

Kai Ling
My KAP colleague! HAH. Though I'm close with her, we never had a real heart-to-heart talk together. She is a nice girl and has a good sense of dressing style ranging from matured curls to youthful rebonded hair etc etc. Great company and sometimes it's nice of her to actually laugh or response to your oh-so-not-funny jokes.

Mardiana
Mardiana is so skinny! She has a great dressing sense and always trying out new stuff: like extension of eyelashes etc etc. She is a good dancer too. I'll never forget how we had to postpone our VIVA cos Ms Loo vomited! :/

Marlon
MARLONGLONG! This guy is most of the time out of class. He is a full-time slacker, only appearing most frequently in class after he receives the final warning letter else he'll face debarment.

Mike
Devoted to SIG and squash. This guy is part of the M05 regulars who frequently hang out together after school for dinner/movie/shopping. He is just too left-handed! He even uses his left hand to use the mouse :/ Don't get over dependent on your left hand ah.

Rong Guang
RG hates people doing things the long way (or at least I think so). He is a very sarcastic guy and will sometimes speak to the lecturer in a sarcastic way if he feels the lecturer is doing something that's redundant. I heard he's a quick learner too cos Mike and Ming attempted to teach him mahjong and he learnt that very quickly. I think he's smart and he can't be bothered with things that doesn't affect him.

Sam
Fann Wong here is a good speaker. He gives good presentation which normally takes up double the time of what others need. People who presents after him tend to feel much more stressful because he is such a good speaker. Please don't forget us after your graduation okay, because somehow I felt you start to drift further from all of us already. Nonetheless, all the best in everything you do.

Shida
BABE! She's into Prison Break like I am. Shida gotten closer to us since the 3rd year after Cynthia and Mardiana got posted to another class. Somehow, I don't know why she likes Ong Sey Beng! Maybe not that she like him, but she's just so happy when she noes OSB is her supervisor for IHP! -_-; I will never forget the time when both of us were late for SA lesson and the lecturer went like "You girls didn't apologise for coming in so late?" and that both of us waited for each other to apologise before we say sorry. None of us did and the lecturer was even more pissed off. HAH.

Teck Wei
Please don't get too addicted to online games arh! Please don't spent another few hundred just to get a weapon! Tsk tsk tsk. He has a beautiful L necklace; the aftermath of watching Death Note. Teck Wei loves doing last minute work, like starting on his assignment a few days before deadline BUT he ALWAYS produce BETTER products! He has hidden talent in flash and 3D Studio Max can!

Theresa
I do not deny the fact that we had disputes in the first year but then everything has lighten down as time passed. I believe we get along better these days. Anyway, this girl is loud and she is always so lucky to have people around her willing to lend her the extra hand! She is good at mahjong and is devoted to her guy for almost three years already. Blissful years ahead for you and Jian Qi!

Wei Ming
MAHJONG SIAO AR! I will never forget the 一炮三响 history you've created in my barely one year experience of playing mahjong with money. I can say that I learnt mahjong through him? Maybe the whole M05, I don't know. All I know is they started mahjonging everytime we overnight at each other's crib and I starting sharing money with this guy to play mahjong. This guy is also very funny, remember your 滚动 and your stupid 阿公 wearing JJ's glasses acts? He is obsessed with the old lady who mentioned about poopoo and caca, and currently, he is prison breaking.

Wenna
Poon is into media stuff, and currently, she is into Korean stuff. She is always fooled by us because she is so easily fooled. I prefer to think she's dumb but she insisted she's just naive. Boo boo. Time spent with her is always great because you wouldn't know what stupid stuff she is up to, or what stupid things will happen to her. Every time such things happens, everyone bursts into horrible and unstoppable laughters (okay maybe especially me).

Xeno
Xeno is a man of deep thoughts. Enjoys salsa and mahjong too! He's legend to ligu ligu. BOO. Because that makes me the second person in history to make ligu ligu. I heard he did a shi san yao also!

Yong Xiang
I still wanna say: your IPork is so bulky and fat and heavy can! The only guy who goes in and out of Singapore just to pursue his studies. I must say that's envious, cos I wouldn't do that if I live in Malaysia! And please be a better host if we ever decide to go to your place again can?! I will never forget the experience I had when we were over your place during CNY last year. Apart from the good food, I wanna complain about everything! ROAR.

William
He's like the nicest mentor ever! He's so nice but we never step over his head and all of us respect him. I love teasing about his balding head behind his back though :P and Lim Fang How loves to call him Prince William. LOL. I love his wife's cheese marcaroni! SLURPS!

New Look

KAP renovation is kinda done? I don't know, the workers kept delaying the poster board thingy. But anyway, the new KAP looks very very different from before:









The new KAP looks more spacious, but no longer has the unique orange walls and carpet flooring :( Ida said KAP is no longer cosy already.

Some customers still complain about the smelly smell in store :/

Anyway, I mahjong-ed last week and lost badly. However, I wanna blog about it cos Wei Ming 一炮三响 leh! For those who don't know what it meant, it basically means he threw out a tile which all the other three players need to win.

We were seating in this order: Wei Ming >> Me >> Kenneth >> Xeno. When he threw out 3 tong, Kenneth went like "HU!" and I was like "hehehehe, I win first cos I'm before you" in my heart. Then Xeno was like "zzzzzzzzzz, I also win leh! Sian, why you (Kenneth) in front of me.."




My tiles..


Kenneth's tiles..


Xeno's tiles..


He made it to the history of mahjong.

HAHA.

But in the end, he was the sole winner -_-;

Mahjong-ed yesterday too.

Played two whole rounds and did not have luck for the first round and Wei Ming even called me 放炮Queen, cos I kept throwing the tiles people need to win :(

I RECOUP MY $25 LOSS AT THE END OF THE TWO ROUNDS and won k.

HAHHA.

Most importantly, luck was with me!

I DID LIGU LIGU!



What's ligu ligu?

Basically it's having triplets but is all you get it yourself rather than pong from people one.

This one really need luck. 5 tai!

After that my luck keep rolling in, diao zheng for 6 times (this one Jun Yi go count one) and won 5, 4, 5, 4, 4 and 3 tais respectively (this one Kenneth go remember -_______-;).

Okay, I shall not brag anymore. I just wanna remember my ligu ligu ligu ligu ligu ligu... :D

Finally..

I've been working too much.

BUT THE GREATEST THING HAPPENED TODAY!

No. Lucius did not visit. Neither was there cute kids who talked and played with me.

I BUMPED INTO MADAM TAY!

Who is she?

Well, only my primary school mates will know who is she.

She was the one who taught us ALL the subjects during P6 except Chinese. She made a difference in our lives.

All of us had lost contact with her ever since she left Yuhua Primary. Nonetheless, I bumped into her at KAP can!

SO HAPPY!

If I hadn't go to the toilet at the moment, I wouldn't have noticed someone who resembles her very much.

If I didn't have the determination to confirm if it's really her (cos she was marking some papers), I wouldn't have wanted to get her contact from her.

When I saw her, I was like happy yet scared. Scared cos I don't know if she still remembers me! I'm lucky she is alone though.

The first thing I did was called Marcus and then told him about it. Then he said I should approach her cos if I miss this chance all of us can never have her in gatherings!

When I decided to approach her, she happened to be on the phone and staring outside and I was like waving at her (I think I looked dumb or weird cos she must be wondering who was waving at her), then I walked in and approach her table.

I really think I look dumb!

Cos if I'm her, I'd be like ?! and then even more ????? when there's this girl who approach you.

Chat with her and got her contact. WOOOO!

6E, next gathering we will have Madam Tay with us!!!!!!
