i think i can safely say that im getting used to working (or rather, attachment). though i do get really drowsy half an hour before lunch (counting down) and one hour after lunch (digesting).
anyway, i am currently at the reservations department together with jia min. basically, we take phone calls, key in reservations into OPERA, assist in house guests with requests etc. i like it cos i get to sit down, eat/drink in the office while in front office, all you do is stand and kinda stone.
renny and shu huei are my usual lunch buddies. and one of the sales managers asked shu huei and i to join her for lunch. walked over to bugis junction's food court and lunched there. oh and she (sales manager) treated us bubble tea. lol. wellwell, she's a really nice lady (not just because of the bubble tea treat,duh). very approachable and there're no 'airs' arnd her unlike some whom at one look, you know you have to be very careful arnd.
office politics, i totally need to know how to play the game.
3 days to friday! urghurghurgh

okay, i think my immune system is at its all time low. ive been coughing, sneezing (not really, just runny nose) for A MONTH and they are not showing signs of recovery. went to eastshore hospital's 24hr clinic to see the doc for the THIRD time today.
consultation was less than 10mins and the fee was !!!. i kept telling my dad that ethan should totally be a doctor. wellwell, it seems really easy. ask patient whats wrong, listen to the heartbeat, prescribe medication and pam! ka-ching in the pocket. it's probably the process of being a doctor (studying part) that sucks.
anyway, he wanted to precribe me with an inhaler but i opted for pills instead.
p.s im 600grams away from my ideal weight. actually, i know im not fat or anything but yeah, i just want to be proportionate and 45 is kinda a nice number.
p.p.s my next off days are exactly 8 days away

if you could rewind time, whats the one thing you'd want to change?
i have many regrets in life (i think), but if i could only change one thing, it would be myself. i dont know how i'd do it but i'd want to be well, a better person. i hate how i can be pretty self centered at times. and if i could change one more thing, it would be to listen to my mum more. you know what they say, 不听老人言,吃亏在眼前 (i miss expressing myself in chinese!) 。
anyway, the abovementioned question was mentioned in the conversation we (FAMILY minus cs) had at Ice^3 just now. meet up was short but good, as always. and yes, they had vegetarian dinner with me and june ang expected me to be grateful. it should be the other way, i helped you guys gather good karma. hahaha

ive been feeling like this for the longest time. hmmmm, it's like, when you look back at your friends then and now, it seems like everyone of them has changed. some for the better, some well, for the worse. one thing is somehow inevitable, we grew apart. the same inside jokes arent that funny anymore.
sometimes when i blog hop, i cant help feeling erm, left out. it seems that everyone's changed, different and having the time of their lives while here i am, unable to keep up, being left behind. yeah, i dont think ive changed much at all. im still the same person 10 years back and now. it may be a good thing, it may not be.
ultimately, this post is not meant to put a blame on anyone since change is the only constant in our lives. and i am very thankful for having really awesome friends. they know who they are.
p.s i think i need to open my heart a little more.

i shall do a quickie.
so results for year 2 sem 2 were out like 2 days ago but singtel mio decided to die on me so i only got to know my grades via sms and GPA when i checked at work. overall, i am very very thankful. andandand *drumroll* a distinction for business finance. the emphasis is totally on 'business finance' and not 'distinction'. it's as good as scoring full marks for math, if you know what i mean.
p.s im still sick. the bloody air condition is urgh.
p.p.s either that or im getting old (& weak).

600th post! thats well, pretty amazing. HAHA
met up with rachel & sofi at novena's donut factory for lunch. nope, we did not just have donuts. donut factory has now diversified their product offerings (sheesh, sounds so marketing but it brings the idea across) with well, proper food. prices were reasonable and food was decent.
rachel had this erm, breakfast set with two donuts & a drink. sofi had this fried tofu balls thingy which is good and mushroom soup while i had mac and cheese and mushroom soup. personally, i feel that the mushroom soup wasnt creamy enough. i think they used shittake mushrooms though (:
i only managed to drink 1/3 of the soup cos the combination that i ordered was a tad too creamy. caught up with one another and it seems like schooling is the best occupation ever. haha.
shared the breakfast set thingy with sofi. and pardon me for being such an amateur but i tried iced english breakfast (tea) for the first time and i love it. goes pretty well with glazed donut.
walked arnd novena square and square two for a bit before going on separate ways. rachel to bugis while sofi and i to orchard. i think singaporeans are merely grumbling for the sake of grumbling about recession. taka is packed with shoppers. oh and by the way, there's this topshop/topman/warehouse and some other british brands sale at taka till the 25th. but the item selections were mediocre.
sofi then headed off for her prayer meeting while i started on the search for pressed powder and blusher. and i came home with this!

Ettusais' Sweet Marble Cheek Color in PK5
the powder puff is soooo mini & cute.
shall hunt for PP tmr. happy weekends everyone!
oh and my roster for the next two weeks are as follows:
16/3: 11-9
17/3: 11-9
18/3: 11-9
19/3: 7-5
20/3: 7-5
23/3: 7-5
24/3: 7-5
27/3: 7-5
28/3:7-5
29/3: 7-5
30/3: 7-5
31/3: 7-5
p.s somehow, i found my roster in the dustbin and i have absolutely NO idea how the hell it ended up in there
p.p.s if those pple having attachment think they're in jail (saw a couple of such status in facebook), then i think im on (temporary) life sentence.

highlight of the day: a very very cute japanese (guy). well, big eyes, nice hair, sharp nose etc. erm, wanted to 'stalk' him but was kinda unsuccessful. HAHA. ask me for more details, since blogging isnt exactly private.
i have found one perk of attachment. ogle at cute babies and cute/hot guys. maybe i should include this in my log book. my LO will prolly shrug it off. oh and i had trouble starting on my log for today cos well, cute guy alert!
one day to friday!

weekends were spent sleeping and snoozing. i dont know if im really that drained or the effects of the medicines that ive been taking. i believe it's the latter though. the tiredness was erm, overpowering, i could just lie there and fall asleep almost instantly. i like that though. beats insomnia anytime.
attachment is and will be taking up most of my time for the next 5 months plus or so. am staying positive and hope time will pass real quick. i guess it will also more or less determine if i should continue to pursue education in this field. if not, there're still a couple more options (:
i think im someone who cannot have atm/credit/debit cards. since i cant 'see' the money being spent, i dont feel the pain. and not to mention, it's totally convenient. take it out, have it swiped, key in pin and thats it. i almost signed up for ibanking just now but i think it'll be my passage of no return.
okay, im rambling about nothing in particular.
p.s looking forward to the (next) weekends already!
p.p.s and not to mention, payday!

so friggin tired. only slept for like 3 hours or so due to bad bad cough. sigh. it's been almost one week.
so these 4 days were spent attending training lectures/seminars/however you call that. the trainer for the first three days was (and still is) great. i dont know how to put it into words, you gotta meet her, hah.
and while walking to the bus stop to take bus home. shu huei and i met this freaky old woman. we were like chatting, laughing then we walked past us and gave us the middle finger. !!! so we were like , wth! and before we even had the time to react, she turned back and swing her back at us and attempted to spit at/on us. thank god we were a good 3m away from her. friggin freaky. so we turned at once and ran into this building, all paranoid.
only got out after 5mins after coast was clear. damn, i cannot tolerate rudeness.
and my roster for next week is out! everyday 10am to 8pm. offdays on weekends.
p.s i havent even worked officially and i already want to take back my words on how attachment is better than school.
