@ 2:43 PM

i'm at a loss of words to describe my feelings. rargh.


this morning i handed out chocolate to everyone in my office and talked to all of them. all 50 of them. then i did my morning routine and did training for the new position. talked 2.5 hours non-stop. i think the new lady can absorb very well. she claimed that i look very young.


i think youth buys time. when you are stuck with many many uncles and adults, youth is a special gift. i may consider working in a older working environment in future. they are great people. the only thing is they seem to be so stuck in time.


these people and their busy ways. they rush through work and bide time. in a few hours time i will clear my table, clean out my locker and leave my lappie in care of desmond. and give my pass to the security. so sad lah. i maybe OT today then go meet my dear waitressing friends (which, i.e., is my classbuddies). then tomorrow will be Klunch courtesy of adeline with my tetra colleagues. maybe it will be going out with them after that or touristmode again. once in a while, going out alone is so damn fucking liberating.


my dear employer doesn't have the mood to do anything now, she's stoning with me. i'm feeling very sentimental now. funny i didn't have this feeling when i left westwood.


sunday is a day out with meiliang, and in the evening meeting yinnyinn and frens at chinese garden to burn models (i.e. celebrate lantern festival). that's all y'all, i'm out.

my last day at work!


i'm so gonna miss everyone. T.T

@ 2:01 PM

this has been a busy busy week!


i have even more projects to complete with me leaving the office. funny thing, my boss asked me to stay and he'll give me 3k a month. but i want to be an interior designer.... and a successful one at that.


i registered my gems. i took water colour painting workshop. which will be fun i think, because it's one of the unfulfilled things i haven''t done in the holidays. heh heh. i wanted to do a self portrait in pop art or stencil, but hadn't had the time to do that. gee. good revival days.



and there is still a list of things to do before the holidays end.. and i'm so happy. it's been one hell of a holiday and i think it's worth every minute of it!


1. i got to spend time with my LOVED ones
2. i get to work and experience strange and special things.
3. i learnt how to ward off perverts
4. i get starry-eyed
5. i saw miyazaki-fantasy like buildings on my way to work every morning (i tell you, it's magnifique!)
6. i get to learn a new skill, which is waitressing
7. i learnt to love myself more and be more independent
8. i smile more (alrd!)
9. i mastered the art of sleeping and slacking without getting caught
10. i learnt how to multi-task (like now! i'm blogging, creating a new email, filing and typing data entry)
11. i learnt the SAP system and microsoft excel (excel, it is not as useless as it looks)
12. a many million things! (2 of which is a secret of mine for now:))



so it's great. i plucked up the courage to take gems on my own (although i promised 2 people T.T i will take with them). 3 gems by myself already! i'm so proud of myself. and i just learnt, RAINA IS IN THE SAME GEMS AS ME. so i'm happy, i'm taking this as a bonus, and i'm happy. not relieved, but happy and contented. it's altogether a different kind of happy feeling.


this holidays i have learnt much. to be happy with myself, because i must exist by myself before two can become one with junhao. that's what i believe about relatioships, one must exist as a strong solid unit before merging, to become a even stronger pillar of support.

@ 10:24 AM

after taking an off yesterday... i feel like not working anymore and rot for the rest of the week. yesterday morning was horrible, i woke up vomitting and shitting till i can't go work and i forgot to inform my employer who tot i was slacking again. whatever....


then yesterday evening i went out with yuhui and xiangying and had an absolutely wonderful day. we went to orchard to deposit cheque then walked over to PS and ate at cartel (oh boy, the dory fish, oh boy) to dine then bused over to chinatown to get beads! then yuhui went crazy at the shop and bought too much beads, like 70 bucks? and it was cheap for her. i and yinyinn wanna go her house make jewellery!


then we walked over to clarke quay and admired the mid autumn festival display. it was a cool evening and the atmosphere was perfect! we were laughing and chatting happily together. mmmm. i went home happily with this tinkle in my heart.



and this morning was pretty horrible because i got the working blues and i don't like it at all! i don't feel like working, but for the sake of money i will work till the end of hols la. for some finnanical reasons i have to do this, for some independence i have to do this, for some situations i have to do this. sometimes i think i have sold my soul for money, but it's ok i guess. if it can be exchange for some happier things. maybe one day i will speak.



the other day me and junao went to bugis and we went to have bak kut teh (my favourite!!!) and i dragged him to XXX (not dirty, don't worry!). it's our secret place! very happy lah, i managed to find it all by myself. i have one secret place with meiliang too :):):) then it rained and he sheild me from the rain using his body. and then we ran thru the rain holding hands and i complained because my baby slippers got dirty water. the slippers has a stud now! i'm going to get matching ones :)

!Friday, September 14, 2007

@ 4:14 PM

i'm busy up my ass this morning yet i took my own sweet time surfing the net.. baaaa.



crazy weekend ahead! today i'm probably gonna do OT admin then waitress till 2am. then tml i'm gonna go christen my baby:):) slippers with a stud at the havaianas tukytuky event with meiliang and go work after that to 2am again. then sunday is dedicated to junhao and we will be so beated up we probably won't go far.


at this moment when i feel like slumping into a deep deep sleep i tell myself that i'm strong. this will be the best experience i'll have and i am going to make it in just one week. although my head is burning hot now but i'm still alright. heh heh.

i hope when i graduate from tetra pak i can do more than excel basics. and right now i'm hyperlinking all the things like crazy. hyperlink 300 files since yesterday is not easy you know!



speaking of graduation, kayne west's album Graduation is doing so much better than 50cents' Curtis. Which means fiddy will quit the rap scene soon. hahahaa! Fiddy made an announcement that he will quit the rap scene (i.e. no more rap albums etc) if he loses to kanye's lousy album. We shall see if he make good his words.



and recently i've been so so tired! a lack of sleep is what is the problem. if i go out lesser and goes home straight after work i will save a lot of money and get a proper sleep.



i've been looking for the hairspray album to download on the internet but alas, to no avail. i hope i can find it! even download king jianping can't find it. if not, i reckon 20bucks for a stupid CD is very pinchy on the pockets.



holidays is nearing and i can't bear to leave tetra pak... they are really nice people and i don't feel like going back to school, especially if my results is always so stagnant. i'm so darn ready for improvement!

i had a damned day ytd!


i was pondering over going to barracks after my admin work to work. then i decided to go. and i took the bus to jurong east to take 1o5. i took over 40mins to reach je. then i walked from the central (where the bus dropped me off) to the interchange to take 105. nearly 20 mins later, i'm still at jurong east. the damned bus ran all over toh guan to still find itself at je after so long. by that time i was really bus sick. then when i reached clementi junhao called me and said that xiangying they all like, played with his revolver just now. then i was like huh? ain't they working? then i called xiangying. turns out that they are not working today. and no one was working yesterday. so it's like i have to take 99 home? but i met up with them and took the train and walked all the way home.


that's the end of the story of groggy jj.

delicious curry chicken oh delicious curry chicken.... why do you appear in my presence in times of suffering, when i'm plagued by an aching tooth newly on its way to recovery? why oh why? you cruel chicken drumlet and your sidekick potatos.



why oh salmon why oh ikea salmon, do you have to be on the menu when i'm stuffing my face with meatballs enough to become a meat-o-soccer team? le sigh.



why oh why you cheap blistex lipbalm, have to appear in times of redundancy where lip balms, lip sticks, lip glosses, lip liners lie around like hookers waiting for men to pick them up?




good problems make me happy :)

today's lunch was really fantastic!


rice with chili cuttlefish, fat peeled sambal prawns with putai with a big plate of kakong! shiok shiok shiok. and watermelon as dessert! total cost? $1.20. -.-

@ 6:04 PM

imagine me and you, i do
i think about you day and night, it's only right
to think about the girl you love
and hold her tight
so happy together...



i'm so bored i'm so bored i'm so bored. today OT. 1.5, which means every hour i get 9.5 instead. heeheehee. but van called me and told me not to go barracks work for today le. so sad. too many people. sometimes truth is hurtful. but turn an oblivious eye on it and it won't sting so much anymore...



tomorrow i'm going to vivo with junhao. we are going to watch hairspray... although i've watched it a few times. heehee. meiliang asked me to go out with the gals but i promised junhao already... so i was thinking, next time, whoever that ask me out first, i don't care who, i will go out with the person. that is if anybody ever asks me out T.T




i got a by terry rouge in peach and i'm so happy!!!
i got carmex in 2 flavours and i'm so happy!

to date i think i have bought too many lip stuff, i'm so guilty. blistex DCT i officially pronounce you to the back of my makeup case. :D one after one i abandon them after i got a new one. but i think carmex is good! esp. now that it comes in cherry flavour and taste like lipsmackers. MMMMM. yummy.




junhaodear was so thoughtful! on wed we were supposed to go to PS and raffles to change my shorts and buy carmex. i met him in town and he said to meet in PS. and he went to queue and get missydonuts for me knowing that for the past few days i've been wanting to sink my hands in one of those donuts. silly him went to the wrong outlet because i wanted those from suntec/raffles (wat dat, donuthouse?) i didn't dare tell him but i really appreciate the effort! gee.
meiliang what happen to our donuts? i wanna eat chocolate one...



i feel like eating ikea's salmon and meatballs now.... boohoohoo....

@ 3:32 PM

technically i didn't work today, but i'm at the office now. to submit some stupid timesheet to the agent and i need boss's signature. gaarrgh.


i should be rubbing my hands in glee now since i have just submitted my pay slip. minus the hassle. plus the fact that my dear adeline said i can "work" till knock off since i'm not feeling well. heeheeheee. to be honest in all my lil jobs this is the best lah. my colleagues are really really nice and friendly. people still come up to me and say hello. or "our adeline has shrunk!"


yesterday.
was a, how should i put it, many moods day? as usual i set out of my house in a mundane fashion due to work in the office again, and i did the normal routine that i would do everyday, and in the noon, i went to the toilet that i normally wouldn't go. then at this point of time i hear you saying, "what, go toilet also must say?". i usually go to the unisex toilet for my morning getaways but ytd i went to the ladies located at the end of the factory with all the machines and lil robots.


as the ladyfolk here are scarce (just 4 in my office), there is only one cubicle for us in the toilet. so i went in and saw that the toilet was in use. so i waited. for sure the person inside had no choice but to come out after using it for so long. he came out. apparently i got a shock and stared at him. he rationalized. "this toilet can be shared". because the gents are in maintence, i thought "fine," even though i went "that is so not true."



flustered with embarrassment, he scurried out of toilet. it's really unlucky for him la. because he could not have stayed there forever and wait to go away un-noticed.



then i went back to the office and causally mused that some unfortunate gentleman was found in the ladies. and then adeline gave a gawk of surprise. and she said, "we are calling the HR to complain."



after a series of phone call, we went out to find the "pervert". and spent one hour chatting and walking around finding the pervert! it was damn funny lah, i had to literally stare into everyone's face. and i saw him. sway sway for him la, i remember faces easily. adeline chatted with him and he enquired about me.



so anyways, we went out and i said, "the pervert is him." so adeline had to call the HR again. then she said,




"the suspect has been found. he is ho thian wah. roger over."




damn damn funny la. i can't control my laughter. then he got a warning.




ok i just re-read the entry and i found out that it wasn't funny.
then in the evening we went to joc's house to play mahjong. and that's it. me and junhao took 185 home with ferynn and had a very nice chat.




so this morning i felt an intensive headache and i think it's due to stress about little things ba. and i couldn't went back to sleep nor work. so it was horrible. and my mom cooked some nice things for me to eat and i went to work in the afternoon. and i lost my way because i mistook a brown building for my co's place. and i had to walked under the hot sun till i nearly fainted because the sun was blazing and there was no shelter. then when i arrived it was better because this was what i have been doing since i arrived, and i'm "working". hopefully my pay comes soon!




i got my grades, Bplus again i think, with a D and an A sandwiched in between. oh boy i HATE Cs and Ds. gah. to date counting what i just received i have a C and a D to my collection. and my report is not systematic anymore lah! but i can't make sense of the grades that they have given me. i have 4 grades for the same module. soo weird. crazy lecturers.

super busy week ahead too!

oh wow wee, this hols is sure enriching for me!

i did bellydancing, i did admin, i did waitressing, i did time management, i did priority settings and i did quarreling as well!

admin is good. after i waitress i found out admin is my cup of tea. but waitressing is good too. i balanced my first tray yesterday, i served my first plate yesterday and i cleaned my disgusting table yesterday! but all in good fun. gee.

i have been working for 6 days last week and this week i'm busy too! today i'm meeting junhao then meiling after work, then tml meeting junhao after work, wed meeting junhao after work, thursday going waitressing after my admin work, friday going waitressing after my admin work, saturday and sunday is for junhao. see how much time i spent on you dearie, don't ever say i don't have time for you! i'm just making the best of everything i can. and meiliang i haven't forgotten about you! muaacks.

and i haven't seen my classmates for so long, i actually miss them. yuping baobao jp weiqiang aaron albert and everyone else not working in the restuarant!

p/s: the place i waitress in is called barracks and nearly all the waiters are friends who i know before going in so it's all good.. vansxyangelineyuhuiandfriends. hahahaa. if i'm not working i'll bring jocandfriends (the clique, as ferynn puts it) to go and eat i think they'll like it very much. but then again the food is not cheap either.

this holidays i learnt how to work with the older people in the admin, the younger people in barracks, multi-task, handle stress, stand by my point and throughly execute it to the end. great right? oh ya, and handle PERVERTS! wah lan eh. i told him my boyfriend is a very tall and handsome policeman who drives a car and is very loaded. hahahaaa. nothing like telling a lil white lie. hey, i just twisted a bit of the facts only! what, is junhao not tall dark and handsome?

i got my results, Bplus again. since i started poly i have consistently gotten a Bplus for everything and an occasional A, except for last term, they gave me one Cplus. wtf??? stupid stupid Cplus. i hate that C. baaa.

all this blogging while working. see how good admin is.

p/s: wtf tetra pack is so damn loaded the whole place is filled with designer chairs! i'm sitting on the ant chair now and my colleague told me the cafe used to be filled with ant chairs. and tetra pak has no shareholders, it's a family business.

p/p/s: if you ever drink a packet drink you can look at the sides, it has the tetra pak logo. these packets are made by the company. and i work in the complains department. good job scope, i learnt the SAP system and microsoft excel. SAP can help me to find better admin jobs in future ba i hope. nono, no more jobs. it's interior design alrd.

this is the ant chair. very cute right, looks like an ant. designer: arne jacobsen
