My computer is seriously crazy now. There's sth wrong with the modem. I think it has some problems with the new computer. Stms, no matter what i do, it doesn't connect. Stms, it connects immediately once i switched on the computer, like today.

Anyway, have been going out to study the past few days. Studied with Jane in Compass Point today. There were these various groups of secondary sch students, and they juz reminded me of how i behaved when i was their age. It really isn't that long ago, but somehow, i juz think they're so damn childish. Really! It makes me ashamed of my behaviour then, and now i just cringe at the thought of myself back then. Haha.

I actually dread the thought of the hols a little, cos it means that i'll have to work, almost like a full-time staff. Everytime i get tired at work, i'll start thinking abt the week that i'm going to bangkok and console myself with the thought of ppl serving me for 5 days, rather than me serving ppl. haha.

And...... itz Elizabeth's birthday todae! HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~!!!!!! haha, feel a bit guilty cos haven't been able to celebrate with her the two times she asked me. I'll make it up to u next time kay?

Saturday, August 27, 2005

Have no idea y, but i'm feeling real tired right now. And i almost nodded off to slp while playing a game on the com just now. Haha. Quite amazing. Anyway, worked on thurs evening and this morning. Requested to leave a lil early today cos had to rush down to sch for lect. But after i changed and everything then i saw corrin's msg that she didn't want to go for lect. Haha. So i decided not to go too. But still had to go to sch to pass sth to Jiahui. So waited a while till 4 sth. Was supposed to go out with Liz, monica, etc. But i was feeling tired, and somehow reluctant to go out with a certain person. Thus, i decided to go home.

I was reading Corrin's blog the other day. And i muz say that i had no idea that things were so bad between them. Really. I thought she was juz feeling that she had changed, and not that disappointed, etc stuff. But truth to be told, stms, i juz have this urge to slap that expression off her face. Or is smack a better word? I don't know. Be it her smug expression,her "i don't care" face, or when we tease her n she gives us that "so what?" face. I do sound harsh, and i know it. But that's really what i feel, and that's really the first time i feel this way. I have nv felt this way abt a person b4. Okay, if the above sentence was taken out of context, it would seem as if i'm expressing my love for sb or sth, haha. Anyway, Corrin, i hope i'm talking abt the correct person. Hehe.

And I have also gotten a totally new perspective on a certain person. Not exactly new, but itz certainly sth that i would nv have imagined. It works to reinforce my dislike for that person. It's not the same person as the one mentioned above, and relax, i don't have the urge to slap this one. Haha. In the past, as i started to hang out with this person, n started to know her better, i can get seriously irritated by her. But our mutual friends seem to like her well enough, so i didn't mention anything. It was only till yday, that i realised that sb could sense my dislike for her. The reason i don't like this person is cos she likes to take advantage of ppl. Even ppl who she knows that cannot spare that extra for her. How many ppl do u know that goes ard asking ppl to treat her to movies, clubbing, food, when she has a job, and the other party doesn't? And sth else, she asked me to buy imitation stuff. Ppl who know me well enough know that i would never ever buy imitation stuff. No matter how similar the product is. She has known me for a yr and she doesn't know that? I mean, i don't care if u buy them, juz don't ask me to! When she was encouraging me to, i juz told her that i don't like to shop at places like that. I couldn't have told her that i don't buy imitation stuff right. I would have sounded like a stuck up bitch.

Okay, anyway, enough bitching. If u know who i'm talking abt, pls don't go ard announcing kay? Thanks.

I've finally finished sch. Not exactly the entire semester, i still have my exams, but at least i don't have to worry abt projects and the various problems that come with them anymore. I actually like exams more, cos i don't have to worry abt my members and partners, and whatever i do, i take the responsibilty myself.

And ya, raffles city coffe club is currently out of bread for sandwiches. Haha. Sounds weird, but itz true. The head kitchen haven't been sending enough. I don't know abt e other branches, but we rally ran out of bread yday night n this morning while i was still at work. So dun blame e staff arh. Haha.

Thursday, August 25, 2005

I actually wanted to skip mkt lecture on Tues. But out tutor didn't tell us anything abt e exam during tutorial (i.e tips, hehe) so decided to go for the lecture. During the lecture, there were these scary sounds coming out of the speakers suddenly. Really. Corrin n i were saying that they sounded like the sounds from War of the Worlds when the aliens were zapping the ppl. If u had watched the movie u'll noe exactly what i'm talking about. It was real easy to imagine the aliens coming. Haha. Guess i have an overimaginative mind. Some girls behind were saying it sounded like White Noise.

Anyway, lect finished early, at abt 2. Went home immediately after that. Was supposed to meet to prepare for my sociology presentation at 4. But i was real unwilling to wait for them, and i didn't really see the need to reahearse and everything cos all of us were in-charge of different parts. So i told irvin the day b4 that i didn't want to wait 4 hrs for them (rmb i was thinking of not going for mkt lect?). Anyway, at 3sth melvyn msged all of us that we can juz send the slides to him n soul and there's no need to meet up. Don't know if it's bcos of me.....

Anyway, i had my french speaking test this morning, in other words, oral. And i did badly. Not exactly badly, juz not up to my expectations. I forgot all the things i wanted to say! Lucky giuliano helped me along. I think he helped everybody along. Haha. He's so nice.

After the test, my sis n i went to TM cos i wanted to buy shoes for work. But there was no more stock at converse and isetan. Sadded. Will have to wear my original shoes tmr. Stms, the thought of going to work puts me off a lil. And i have to work 3 days this week, in a straight row.

Tuesday, August 23, 2005

And we were reading the personal reflections of the HR project. And it's like come people were juz looking for excuses for not doing their tasks on time. I mean, doing quality work doesn't mean that u can finish them last min. Don't blame the library if u do not put in enough effort to search for e books. And ur fever! U got it 2 days ago, not a week ago when we said that we could start doing the report already. Those really sounded lame when i was reading his reflections.

What siew wern said actually didn't really strike any chord within myself. Mayb i'm still used to dealing with my stuff myself cos i know can't expect others to help me. But after i talked to Liz, i suddenly rmb-ed another incident, which tallied with wad sw said! Liz also rold me abt sth, and it also tallied with sth that happened!

Sigh, dunno lah. We didn't meet up at all to do our report. Only sw n i met up cos we were doing the same topic. It was so unlike PBL 1.
Spent the past two days at home, and found that i couldn't slp well at night. Mayb cos i didn't really expel any energy.. Haha. Then i went to my ahma's hse on Sun. A lot of my relatives were there. And my cousin's finally going for ROM this dec with her bf! Haha, we've been waiting do long lor. They've been together for abt 8 yrs. Can't wait for it, but the sad thing is, they don't plan to have kids. Itz such a pity! And we were looking forward to her baby......... Haha.

Went to watch wedding crashers with Liz at PS today. She was late as usual, so i went shopping and bought a pair of jeans, haha, and the tics. Then my kookoo phone kept switching off. Pek chek. And i was seeing the m1shop online, and the phone i want is selling at $338 with $200 trade-in. My phone can be traded in at $150. Not bad hor! Haha. But muz wait till i come back from bangkok and see how much money i have left. Haha.

Anyway, wedding crashers wasn't as nice as i expected it to be. It wasn't as funny as the trailer made it to be lah. And it was really perverted. Haha. Really. No wonder they made it NC-16. Dunno lah, mayb my expectations were to high or sth, cos of the trailer, only certain parts were funny. I was cringing with disgust 1/4 of the movie. Haha. And while i was washing dishes juz now, i was thinking abt how vince vaughn could take it when the girl rubbed his "you-know".. then i thought, it was probably a dummy. Haha. But that was really disgusting, though funny. Haha.

Actually i spent a lot today. Cos i helped my mother buy wool at spotlight, and foundation n powder at body shop. Then my pants weren't exactly cheap. Haha. Lucky my mother's gonna return me e money. Haha.

Then we walked down to Taka for e watson's shop. Saw Monica with her bf while we were crossing e road. Itz juz like on e tv! Haha. Juz tt we couldn't stop n talk or stare at each other in shock like they do in reel life. Oh ya, saw fann wong at centrepoint. Her makeup was super thick, and she was rushing somewhere lah.

After walking ard Taka i was tired lah, so decided to go home. Next day need to wake up early also. Going to meet corrin n sw for breakfast. Eating Mac's again! Haha..

And Liz told me she wanted to go to e movie thing in my church! Haha. So if u wanna go also pls tell me kay? Got buffet and goodie bag. Hehe. 3rd of sept, Saturday, 6.45 in e evening. Itz a movie abt why Christians suffer.

Sunday, August 21, 2005

I am slacking in front of my computer now..... I really have nothing to do. Am too lazy to start on the sociology presentation ppt slides, too lazy and think itz too early to start on mugging for my exams, ya, and so on......

Anyway, I wanna say sth. My church's youth grp is screening a movie on wny Christians suffer. Itz on the 3rd September in the evening. It's a Saturday. I know itz in e region of time of poly students having the finals, and the A'level students having their prelims. So i really don't know who to ask. If u are interested in going, juz sms me, msg me on msn, or drop a msg at my tagboard kay?

Saturday, August 20, 2005

Watched the french movie Les Choriste during french lecture. It was very nice, funny, and the boy who was acting as the male lead, he was sooooo handsome. Really, his looks were so pretty, mayb too pretty. He looked like Princess Diana, in some angles, which might make u think of Prince William, but he's so much more handsome than him. Really. Can u imagine a boy like that when he grows up? He's going to create havoc among the girls. Haha. Actually, he's not that much of a boy. Thinks he's only a few years younger than me. Maybe 15? But he's so damn cute.

Okay, anyway, i just got off phone with the technical guy from Pacnet. Was so fustrated with my com today. Dunno what is wrong with my internet connection. Actually wanted to dl games to play, in e end, i had nothing to do for the whole day. It was like i finished my exams already.. Haha.

Then i was really stupid. Had to call in to Pacnet 3 times before the problem was finally solved. Know y? Cos the first time round, the technician told me to disconnect all the phones in the hse. And i did. The thing is, i was talking to him on e hse phone. Haha. Stupid right. So i called in again. On my hp. Halfway through, my handphone switched off suddenly. So had to call in e 3rd time. Haha.

Anyway, talking abt my phone. Itz spoiling. At least i've used it for more than a yr already. But that's no excues right, and i can't possibly tell my parents that. I'll have to save up to buy a new phone. Anyone wants to buy for me the Sony Ericsson K750i? Haha. My expectations very high hor.

Thursday, August 18, 2005

Yeah!! I've gotten a new computer! Haha, itz not exactly new. Only partially, cos my sis' v v nice friend changed everything except the hard disk, and it only costs abt $650. And he told my sis to call him if there's anything wrong. So good right. Why can't i have friends like that? haha.

Went for my sociology test in the morning on Saturday. It was easier than expected lah, cos i was expecting it to be like, so damn difficult that i won't be able to handle half the qns. Haha, that was an exaggeration. But, really, it was better than expected. Went to eat Mac's breakfast after the test with Laykuan and Jacelyn. Hahaha. Was thinking abt eating that the night before, so asked laykuan if she wanted to go eat not. Ate the hotcakes, super nice. Went home after that and took a nap, almost got called back to work at abt 3. Lucky i managed to convince them i wasn't free. Hehe. Finally got to watch my "sky dragon eight parts" again, after missing it for two weeks, though it was e last episode already.

Went to my ahma hse after church on Sunday. Watched bewitched. It isn't nice. This is the first time i've said that a movie ain't nice right out. So if u haven't watched it and is planning to watch it, pls don't. Itz not exactly boring, it's just that after e movie is over, u'll be thinking, so? what's the point? Haha. That's what i thought. And nicole kidman was unbelievably naive in the film. The original version of bewitched was great. But this new one is really found lacking.

After watching the movie, started to teach my cousin her accounts. Then i left at 4 sth for work. Was lazy to walk to the bus stop, so decided to take a cab. Haha. Business was slow, as on Sun nights, so we were like slacking and waiting for the time to reach 2200 when we could finally do closing.

Went to sch for HR on Mon, then back home where i took a nap, then bathed, then off to work. Finally got to work with ellen again. Haha. After working there for abt 3 mths, we finally got to work together again after the first time. Was waiting for 10pm to come around again. Quickly finished up closing and accompanied cynthia and ellen to cafe cartel to buy cakes cos it was going at half price. Haha. Then walked to my bus stop slowly.

Went to work at 11 the next morning. Started coughing the night before, and when i reached coffee club on Tues morning, i was nearly sounding like a man. Haha. Then Ruiting and Joceline started crapping abt writing the words i'm supposed to say on different pieces of paper. Like "Table for..?", "Can i take your order?", "Sorry, ... ... is sold out." Then i can paste those pieces of paper on me and juz point them when necessary. Haha. Stupid right. Felt like vomiting a few times that day. Don't know y leh. Mayb cos my stomach was empty, but i juz didn't have any appetite. ordered soup for my staff meal. Was biding the time till 6 when i could finally leave. Then all of them were psycho-ing me to work till closing. Lucky i had my cough and lessons the next day as an excuse. Haha. When it was finally six, walked slowly to the bus stop and went home.

At 2330 that night, i suddenly realised we had to upload our french projects online by midnight. So i panicked and told my grp mates to send their learning logs to me. Then this i-don't-know-what-to-call-her grp mate of mine thought the deadline for e dialogues was up, so she didn't upload hers. So i told her to go check it out. But she told me she couldn't log in the website. then i told her to send me the file, her admin no and password so that i can log in and upload for her. But she hadn't done it yet. She didn't even know which one she was supposed to do. Then when she sent me the file, she didn't include her admin no and password in her email. And she was offline by that time. my phone wasn't with me. Pek chek lor. So i didn't care and juz finished uploading the culture project and went to slp liao.

Slacked during the entire french tut cos it was supposed to be review and giuliano juz told us to ask him questions. In e end my sis n i were chit chatting or stoning. Nearing e end, we started to talk to giuliano abt his family and the languages he knows. So cool lor, he knows 4. English, French, Italian and German. He even went to Shanghai to learn Chi, but that was 3 yrs ago and he has forgotten most of it now. Haha. He's so cute and funny. I'm gonna miss him when this cds ends..... Haha.

Then i went for finance tut and went to century sq to meet liz. But when we were there she decided not to go for french lect later, so we didn't go.. Went home instead. Haha...

Saturday, August 13, 2005

Okay, here i am again, to bore all u readers with my life....... Sometimes, i wonder who are the ones who really read blog, except for the few of u who leave tags sometimes. The rest? So pls leave a msg at my tagboard so as to let me know who are e ones visiting my blog and the ones reading abt my entire life on a website. Well, mayb not my entire life, but pretty much my present life except the most private stuff i like to keep close to my heart.

Just came back from sch where i finally submitted the marketing report to my tutor. I thing there are some mistakes in the report, so i juz pray that we'll get e marks we deserve. I don't know how to start doing the peer appraisal. Daisy has done it already. Stms, i think that peer appraisal is just like talking behind a person's back. But that's the only way the tutors can really know who's doing the work and who are e freeloaders. Juz pray that God will guide me through the process.

Saw this old man on the bus on the way home. And i saw that his 2nd finger on his left hand was gone, most probably cut off. It made me wonder what had happened in his youth, and what trouble he had been in, to lead to his finger being cut off. Has such a thing ever occurred to you? You see somebody on the bus, the train or the streets, and u start thinking about him/her, what had happened to that particular person tht has led him/her to such a position today. I guess all authors do that, or they wouldn't have so many inspirations and ideas that can be seen in their stories and novels.

Guess that's all i have to say today. Am gonna do the peer appraisal now. Hope that i can be objective.

Friday, August 12, 2005

Dragged myself up from bed on Tues morning to go to work. Our first customer came at 1045, when usually they would appear at 10, at e most 1010 on a weekday. Even when the customers started streaming in, we were still v seng nang. Don't know y they put 4 of us on duty for opening when it was a public holiday. Haha. Then came this young American couple. I think they were kissing abt 85% of the time they were there. Haha. Really.

Cos coffee club's starting to sell new drinks this week. Mostly ice-blended drinks lah. So everytime there were extras we would pour it into a cup and each of us would sample a bit. If u like coffee, the iced expresso is nice. Cos the coffee taste is really strong and aromatic, and they have coffee bean bits in it. The summer apple's not bad too. Got lime and apple taste, so itz v refreshing. Think Jane will like it. The rambutan one is not bad, if u like the taste of the canned cocktail syrup. Haha. And there's the standard iced mocha. Haven't tried e rest yet. Will tell u guys next time. Haha.

Ahling called me while i was walking to the bus stop after work. She wanted to ask me abt accounts. They teach them really fast in NTU. It's like they've covered weeks' worth of what we covered in poly in 2 weeks, perhaps more. Fast right. No wonder she's so confused. They have additional stuff somemore. Waited super long for my bus. By the time i reached home it almost 3 and i went to take a nap immediately. Ate bread with those "soft-boiled" eggs for dinner. Seems that i've been eating bread e whole day. I ate 2 buns from breadtalk, then a s/w from subway, and bread again for dinner. Haha.

Went to slp a lot later than i expected. Y? All because of my bloody marketing project. Pardon my language, but i felt really fustrated and fed-up at that time. Can't believe i have such grp members. One of them told me 2weeks ago that he would edit this part that we had done wrongly. I expected him to have done it by e next tutorial, but he wasn't there. When i msged him asking abt it, he told me that he'll send it to me the next day. And the next day, he asked me if he could send it to me the next day, which was last Thurs. of cos i said yes lah. And yday night at 0046, did i finally rcv his work. I could have completed the work and gone to slp almost an hr ago if he hadn't procrastinated.

Another grp member better. I asked him at last week's tutorial if he knew how to do executive summary. He said no, but he could check it out in the comm skills book. So i left him to do e executive summary and even told him to finish it and pass to me next Mon. But he apparently forgot abt us meeting on Mon and he didn't go to sch that day. And he hadn't done e summary yet. He then msged me that afternoon to ask me what shld go into e executive summary, and i told him that a brief summary of the findings will do, cos we hadn't done e conclusions and recommendations yet. Simple enough? And he told me that he'll send it to me on Tues afternoon. But i didn't rcv it when i checked my email on Tues evening. I msged him, realised he was outside and he hasn't done the thing yet. And u know what he asked me? What's the objective of executive summary? That might seem like an intelligent qns, but to me, it juz showed how bloody irresponsible he was. You told me one week ago that u would check out the comm skills book, and u're asking me the objective of an executive summary when u're already late in finishing ur work?? That's when i told him i'll juz do e thing myself. In retrospect, i shld have done tt hrs ago, instead of waiting for him. I know he's taking a lot of subjects this semester, as he didn't do well for his previous semesters, so he has a lot other projects too. And i understand. But if you couldn't manage the workload, then tell me lah. Sigh.. dunno lah.

But after hearing from Corrin, i've realised that i'm act much luckier than her. At least i don't have overbearing, self-assuming, and tactless grp members.

Anyway, after looking for the teacher on Wed afternoon, we had to edit quite some things cos we didn't do them correctly or we had some redundant stuff. Had to do the french project, worry abt the sociology presentation too. When will all this end?? Never mind, i know the answer. Two weeks later, when my study week starts and i'll have to start fretting abt my exams..

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

Was a bit shocked when i saw that my last update was on the first on august, which is 8 days ago. Have been busy lately with work, studies, and friends lately. Furthermore, my kookoo computer had to spoil at such an appropriate time when my sis and i need the com more than anytime else. Haha. Lucky my sis borrowed a laptop from her friend. Else we'll both, esp my sis, will be dead. But all the stuff in the com might be gone cos we'll be changing almost everything. Haiz. Sad lor. My songs.. my photos.. my videos.. But still thank God both my sis and i saved backup copies of our project stuff.

Rena and cc came to TM on tues to wait for Rena's bf Kenny. And the frame my specs finally overcame the glue holding it to break again while i was waiting for the bus. Haha. Walked ard TM with them at TM. But there was seriously nth to shop for lah. I have no idea y, but TM is so big, but there seems to be nth interesting to shop for. Anyway, cc was agonizing over what to wear for the coming Mon when we were going out. She wanted to get sth to wear, but there was nth to interest her. Met Kenny, and i can see that he's v like Shawn. Can u imagine the jokes they make when they're together?? Haha.

Went to meet candy at orchard after sch on Wed. We wanted to eat in this Jap restaurant in Taka basement which we ate like 3yrs ago? haha. But we couldn't find it, think it has closed down. Haha. So we went to eat crystal jade, the shanghai one. We ordered too much lah, and we ordered like 2 to 3 dishes of similar stuff cos u noe, they use the same fillings for so-called different dumplings. Haha. And we ordered this super big bowl of noodles. So we couldn't finish the food. But we tried our best. Haha. Then we went shopping. Finally bought the kind of pencil case i want. Then we went to the cosmetic counters at Tangs. And just stood there trying out the colours and stuff. Candy lor. See one like one. Haha. She's crazy about sequins now. Whatever that has sequins on will attract her attention. Bought a new pair of specs at the spectacle hut at far east. I actually wanted to get a new frame only. But couldn't find a pair of frames to fit my lenses. So no choice, had to get a new frame too. Spent 205bucks in e end. My mother was super shocked when she heard that and i told her i'll pay half of it. Haha.

Met with my sociology grp mates on thurs. There wasn't any tutorial that week. But we had to do some grp thing as our attendance. Then one of my grp members very good lor. If i didn't call her to ask her where we were meeting, she would have juz left the sch without telling us she wasn't meeting us. And she juz told me she has sth on. V what lor. Still say she wanted to have full attendance cos she wants to get Z. She's juz taking advantage of us cos we wouldn't tell e teacher she wasn't there. Went to work after finishing the thing. And to my annoyance, i found out that my assist. manager made a stupid mistake and put my schedule on Fri instead of Sat. I was planning to go to East Coast with Corrin and Daisy!! Stupid lor. Made me have to change my plans. So sorry towards the both of them.

Went for my final tuition after work on Fri. Went to Compass to buy gifts for my students first. Bought a piece of cake at four leaves for my mother cos it was her bdae. Then after eating my dinner at Mos, went to my students' hse. Let them do whatever they wanted that day. Actually, i was a bit guilty for stopping the tuitioning cos the parents are still looking for tutors and the both of them really need help. Esp the older boy. But i'm quite reluctant to teach him lah. And stopping the tuition would free up my nights. So i can do more stuff.

Spent my Saturday morning helping my mother cut paper apples. Haha. She's making an apple tree for church. Did a bit of my finance tutorial. Then i went out for the Festival of Praise. This time, we had to queue to enter the place. And altho we reached at 4sth when we could only go into e stadium at 1815, the queue was already super long. It is good to see so many Christians in Singapore so psyched for e FOP, but i couldn't help wishing at that time that there were less ppl. Haha. Don't know y, but i couldn't warm up to the music and all those stuff at e beginning. Thank God i could at e 2nd round of singing.

Lost my voice a bit that night. Haha. Stupid right. I must have been shouting instead of singing. Bought porridge at Jackson's cos was changing buses there. Had to wait a while lah. But it was worth it cos i was so hungry by e time i reached home. Hadn't eaten since 11 or 12 that morning.

Jane asked me if i could meet her on Mon to go out after sch. But i couldn't, cos was meeting Rena,etc in e afternoon and i had to finish up on my project after sch. Quite sad lah, cos hadn't met her for quite a long time le.

And finally to the yesterday.

Was quite fustrated when doing the mkt project cos sb was either acting dumb, or is really so dumb. BTH. I'm blaming that person for being blur. But if u're really so unsure of those stuff, then u shld at least make e effort to confirm things, find out abt things right. And stop saying that i didn't assign u any work. Can't u take e initiative to find out what needs to be done? I don't want to name names, but the person would definitely know i'm toking abt him/her if he/she reads this. Another person made me pek chek too. I was in Orchard on Mon when she msged me to ask if i was emailing our tutor. So i asked her if she could email the tutor for me cos itz inconvenient for me to do tt. And u know what she said? She said "but u're e leader what." I got v pek chek at that sentence lor. I know i'm leader. But i already asked u to help me cos it isn't convenient for me to email her. Itz not as if i'm deliberately pushing the task to u with no good reason.

Anyway, was late in meeting Rena, cc and candy. Went shopping to help Candy look for a top to wear. Will be buying it for her prezzie. She tried on so many tops, but she didn't want any of them. And when she finally saw one she liked, it was e only piece left, and she spoilt it when she trying it on. Duh right. Then mh came to look for us. And we shopped further, and then went to PS to wait for Flo to meet us after her movie. Saw a lot of things i want to buy at various shops in PS. Haha. But i muz save money for the thailand trip next month. Hahaha.

Ordered food at cartel while waiting for flo. Itz been ages since e 6 of us gathered together to hang out. We always have sb missing in e past. Altho it was only for dinner, at least we got together. Flo and mh left after dinner while the 4 of us went to clarke quay. Walked in e wrong direction so we walked one big round to clarke quay. Haha. By e time we reached there we were all sweating. Haha. Went to Indochine. All of us ordered cocktails except for cc who ordered a martini. And it was much stronger than e cocktails. So her martini became our punishment when we were playing the "guess fists". haha, else she would be drunk by e time she finished her drink. Left the place at abt 2230 and we went in search of Mac's cos we were hungry and on a tight budget. Haha. While walking over to boat quay we passed this grp of teenage angmoh guys outside 7-11. After a while they suddenly appeared behind us and they were like walking real closely. Rena and cc became paranoid and started suspecting that they were following us. Haha. Really paranoid lor. Then we walked by another 7-11 and those guys went into the 7-11. Seems like they are attracted to the 7-11s in Sg. Haha.

After eating fries at Mac's we shared a cab home. Which cost me 20bucks, cos rena n cc were broke, and candy forgot to pass me money, as always. Haha. Joking. Anyway, the driver told me that we shld try another route. Which is to send cc home after candy, then to rena's hse, then finally to my hse rather than the present one which is to send rena after candy, then cc and finally me. Will take faster. Aiya, anyway we go, I'll always reach home last.

We saw a lot of ppl we know on Mon. Saw our chi teacher in sec 3 n 4 cum form teacher in sec3 in wisma. She has changed. She looks a little haggard now. Don't know y leh. Saw hanyi at cine. Saw alan tern, the actor at PS. Cos the rest of them had seen him, and i was e only one who didn't. So i started saying Where? Where? rather loudly. Haha. And i think he heard me. Haha. And he smiled at us. I think he's more handsome in real life. Then we saw Alicia in Cartel. Even asked her to help us take photo. Haha. Then saw xinyi, xinru and joanne from my church. Saw a couple other Xinminians whom we don't know; we just know they're from xinmin. Haha. First time i saw so many ppl i noe in town.

U might notice that the entries for each day is getting shorter except for the most recent. Guess itz cos i can't rmb the details, the feelings and thots i originally wanted to put in.. And i'm juz getting lazy. haha. Will try to blog often in future.

Hope u didn't get sleepy or strain ur eyes while reading my super long entry.........................

Okay, here i am again. Ginnette just complained that I haven't updated my blog in a long while, which is true, I haven't updated it since last Wed. But can't blame me okay. I was busy doing other stuff.

I don't have much have a recollection of what i did on Thurs. I just rmb that i decided to skip Sociology class cos that's e last lesson i can skip, and go home to take a nap before going for tuition. And i finally told the mother of my students that i wanna stop! Told her i juz couldn't cope with the both of them. And she asked me what if I juz taught one. And i knew immediately that she wanted me to teach Renjie cos he's having his streaming this year. So i quickly said no. Cos I know that even if I can now concentrate on teaching him alone, I have no guarantee that I can make him concentrate and do his homework. Except for the first few lessons, he has nv finished the homework i gave him. Sigh, anyway, I'm finally gonna be free after this Fri, and I no longer will be holding two jobs! haha. But can't help missing the $190. Haha.

Went to work on Fri at 11. And got forced to extend my working hrs to 6. Stupid lor. Went to Holland V immediately after work to meet cc, rena, candy and flo. Went back to breko again. I don't know why, but i really had no appetite that day. Only had a bowl of soup for my staff meal that day, and juz ordered a drink and calamari at breko. At least e calamari was nice. After eating, we decided to play the frog game. U know, the *in chinese* one, frog, jump into e water, pom.. that type. And i was wondering y the frog is always used to play such games and nv other animals. Haha. Then we got tired of that and played big fish small fish. Then we changed it to big tomato small tomato, then to good potato bad tomato. Haha. Super stupid. Drank a bit that night, cos our punishment was to drink beer. Shared a cab with flo and cc home.

Realised on Fri night that i left my file at my students' hse. Which meant that i left my HR notes for the PBL, and my finance notes, which i need for the test on Sat morning. Haha. Kookoo right. Lucky i went over the tutorial on Wed. Then on Fri night, Jason called me at 11sth to ask me if i could go to work earlier, either at 3 or 12. Very irritated leh, cos i was still hoping to go home for a nap first.

The test was quite straightfoward. Got abt 2 MCQs wrong. But that's abt it. Think Roy and Siew Wern would get full marks. Did a bit of HR in e sch lib before gg to work. When i reached raffles hotel in e bus, it was only 1430 when i start work at 3. Who knew there was a traffic jam there cos there was road closure due to e NDP. When i reached the toilet to change into my uniform, there was a long queue. Someohw, only two cubicles out of 5 were working. In e end, i was late.

Managed to "struggle" through Sat night cos it was busy, so didn't have much time to think abt how busy i was. The funniest thing happened that night. This two turkish men came, and they didn't speak english. They only knew to tell me they wanted ice-cream. Duh right. When i asked them the flavour, they started speaking in their language and i couldn't understand a thing! I was there for abt 5mins, b4 i managed to understand that they wanted 4 different flavours, with 2 scoops in each bowl. Finally lor. You have no idea how lost i felt when we struggled to understand each other. Then their wives came and i had to struggle a bit again. At least it was faster and better. When they left, one of the men said "Bye Bye Joy!", very loudly. Haha. So paiseh.

Didn't have classes for YA! on Sunday. Played human monopoly instead. Had to play it under e hot sun somemore. Sigh, at least it wasn't raining. Went home after that to watch my "sky dragon eight parts". Haha. Then i took a nap. Wanted to do my french ppt, but my stupid com was faulty. So couldn't do anything. After eating dinner, on the com again and it was usable, luckily, it only became siao again after i was finished with e ppt. Cos my sis also wanted to use e com, so she called her god-bro for help. He's damn nice, altho he lives in Admiralty, he volunteered to come down to check out e com for us. So good right. Haha. He managed to salvage e com, and said he'll help us do a new com when the com really spoils.

Was in a bad mood today. Was partly fustrated over the HR pbl cos i was having difficulty researching on my part. And sb only made it worse by reminding me abt e mkt project and pushing everything to me. Stop asking me to not do everything if u're not willing to take some responsibilities. Frankly speaking, I may juz do everything else myself if i get fed up with having to organise meetings.
