I saw Goh Chok Tong today. Haha. He went to the blk of my student's hse while I was there. Didn't shake his hand though. Heh.

Anyway, had a super busy week. Had to work on the CPG project and sort out project stuffs for corp event mgt, CEM, which was a big headache. NOw the cls is working on 2 separate projects and some unhappiness arose bcos of that la. Not really unhappiness, but for the lack of a better word...

Next week's gonna be my last week at Coffee Club; don't even know if i'll be working, bcos I only gave one day. Haha. See la. I'm going to get my pay, and I wanna go shopping, watch movies, but I can't seem to be able to find time. Don't tell me weekends ar.. Haha.

-- It would have been unfair no matter how

First day of sch.. Felt v old, as we tried to spot freshies.. Haha. Senior yr; can't believe I'm graduating in a yr. Can't believe I've gone through 2 yrs of poly life. Can't believe I'll start working in a yr. How??

Anyway, first day of sch was stupid. Only attended an hr of lect cos one was cancelled. Slacked in sch for 4hrs bcos had nth to do. Went to play badminton at 2. Hehe. Only highlight of the day cos I have not played since yr 1. And Denise has agreed to join the team! Yeah! Or rather, she was pressured to join; cos of mdm aisha. Haha. At least I don't feel so burdened now.


It happened again. While I was walking in the rain, on my way to my student's hse. It was just there all of a sudden, making my smile.

We got the job. I really can't believe we got the job. In case you are wondering what on earth I'm talking abt, refer back to this entry. By God's grace, Harveen n I managed to impress the ppl from CPG Labs enough to clinch the deal. When mrs aisha called me just now while I was trying to take a nap, my mind couldn't process the fact that we had gotten the deal. Usually ppl would at least sound happy or sth, but my reaction was just to say "uh, uh.." until mrs aisha said that I should be happy... Haha. I guess I was in shock or sth; cos they told us that they would get back to us in 2 wks time. And this is like what? In 5 hrs time?? And I was hoping to at least get a week's reprieve before having to worry abt this again. Now, we have to meet up to discuss time mgt and everything. *Heavy sigh*

I have nv thought of myself as sb who excels in doing things, as an achiever. When I face projects, I don't accept them with glee, as a challenge or what. All I do is to drive straight on, get everything done, for the sake of getting it done. Sth like how I faced my O's; to do well for the sake of doing well. Even when I went for the Subway interview, I was just trying my luck. I nv thought that I could really get picked by the tutors. But I did, and I know that it wasn't by my own strength only. Then came this project. I seriously had dozens of misgivings abt even bidding for this project bcos the magnitude of it is huge! Doing it outside curriculum, on our own time, in Yr 3, with our other grp members not confirmed, it's just - to exaggerate - mind boggling.

During the presentation, their main concern was the time we could put in into the project. And frankly speaking, I have no idea how much time I can. I'll have to stop working and teach tuition solely, church obligations cannot be cut down, and I'll have to laze ard a lot less la. Efficiency, effectiveness and productivity!!

I guess the main reason I did not show any signs of elation is bcos I was alr fretting abt time mgt. Mine has always been poor la, so really pray tt I can hone my skills more. Haha. And I just have to trust that He will pull me through. But another matter that I'm worried abt is that we only have 2 ppl working on this. Yes, we do have the tutors, but they are only in advisory roles. I hope to at least get another member.

Anyway, on the light side, we got lost on our way there in a cab. We were just driving ard trying to search for Stadium Lane when we were just passing Stadium Walk, Drive, Road, Crescent, etc. Finally, we called CPG and got to know that they are near the Police Coast Guards HQ. So ulu! And the funny thing is that there a canoe place there, so there were a grp of guys sitting ard in tee n shorts while harveen n I were in suits. And, during the presentation, while introducing Harveen n I, know what I said? Very smoothly, I said, " I'm Harveen, and this is my partner Joy." Stupid right? What was I thinking???? Haha. And I didn't even realise it until Harveen reacted and said "huh?" Then I started laughing, and the ppl from CPG caught on and laughed too. It was the joke of the day la.

Conclusion: My tutors are wonderful; esp mrs aisha who has tons of confidence in me unlike myself. I'm going to have a v busy next 3 weeks as we prepare for the presentation to the directors of the coy. I'm going to be in a constant stage of sleepiness. I need lots of prayers.

Ok. Corrin tagged me on her blog to list the 7 qualities of my perfect other half.. Erm, serious doubts abt whether I'll ever find him. But........

5. must love me

Finally went out for a night of fun on Sunday..

But first, went to the esplanade to watch West Side Story. I had watched the movie before, so my expectations of the musical was rather high i guess. It didn't really reach my expectations; I don't know y, but I just didn't feel the impact of a Broadway production. But, it was good, and I can really see myself going for more of such musicals.. Heh. A lot of money will have to be spent. The sad thing is musicals rarely make their way into Singapore. There was one glitch in the event. And that is the audience. At least the ppl ard my sis n I. We seriously chose the wrong day and the wrong seats. We were sitting next to quite a number of students from NJC. Yr 1, I guess. Before the show started they were chatting loudly, laughing, which is okay. But during the show, a couple of them were actually eating, and the usher had to tell them that eating was not allowed. This is the esplanade, not the cinemas.

After the show, I accompanied my sis to buy her iPod, which is huge compared to the Nano. Haha.

Went to meet mh and the rest after that for mh's birthday celebration. Went to eat the the Italian restaurant in Taka B2 and coincidentally, Hanyi a sec schmate was working there. She gave us a 10% discount and free mango puddings. Haha. The food wasn't really good, but we had fun. Cos we were playing around with the camera. Made a lot of noise. Went to the balcony after that to chill. And that was the most memorable part of the evening I guess. Previously, problems arose in the grp; problems that had been in existence since we were in sec 4. Although it was a short chat, abt an hr or so, and Candy wasn't there, I think it was beneficial towards us as friends. In the past, our gatherings were all v superficial? We would go out for dinner, and the shopping. Or kbox. Other than that, nth else. No chats, surface talking.. I was lamenting the fact that 4 yrs of f'ship, so superficial. But, the chat we had on that night was good, and fun and educational for some of us. Heh. Hope we can more of it.


At the balcony


I like this photo, even though Cheng was cut off... Haha.

-- It's only a crush --

My com's back.. so I can come online everyday like I used to. Heh. A lot has happened over the past 2 weeks or so. Last Fri, my tutor from last sem called me and told me abt this construction company who approached them to see if there are any students who can help them do a brochure. So over the weekend I was searching for ppl to join and considering hard if I shld join or not. Cos I've got so many other things on hand! Work, tuition, social life, personal life, church and in two weeks' time, school... so many things!! In e end, everybody i asked rejected except for Harveen whom I've nv worked with before and don't know well. Right up till Mon morning, I was thinking abt how to tell my tutor that I didn't want to work on the project. But, when I saw her, I just didn't know what to say. So i kept quiet and went long with the flow. So, right now, there's me and Harveen working on the bidding which is next Tuesday. I have no idea how we're gonna do a complete and good enough presentation by then, when I don't even know if I want to get the project. Ha. How?? I really need motivation la. I mean, I know what I can get out of the thing. Even if not in monetary terms, the end pdt itself can act as my portfolio, and the experience will be great. But, it's like, I need more than that. More motivation, more support..

I'm finally online after more than a week. My computer crashed all of a sudden and so I had nothing to do at hoem except to rot on my sofa. Haha. Am using the school's com now, cos I really need to use the com. Heh. Actually, I don't have much to say. Stuff that I wanted to blog abt during the past week or more: I've forgotten them already. Haha. So.. nth to blog abt.

I really need to go out soon. As in, shopping, or a day of fun, or sth. Cos I've been stuck at home due to shortage of funds. Haven't gone out in 2 weeks, or more. Only stepped out of the hse to go gym, tuition, work or church. Haha. Super sian!! Pls ask me out... Anybody... I wanna go catch a movie. Several movies. Go check out the list at the right side. Msg me huh. Haha.

Quarreled with my sis on Saturday. But i don't think it can be counted as a quarrel cos we didn't exactly exchanged words or sth. But I got seriously pissed at her; and my mother saw it and totally misunderstood the situation and made matters much worse.

Why are you online at this time?
