~written by doggiewater at 5:27 pm~
FUCK THIS SHIT SRSLY!!

and wanna do abnormal add drop also got so many problems.
wanna look for other mods now to take the system remove all the course content!
other than the mod name, code, time and teacher, there's totally nothing else!
i cant possibly go email all the prof and ask for the course content right!
fuck la.
ARGH!
wth is wrong with this school?!
~written by doggiewater at 11:51 pm~
sian maximum.
zzzzzzz......
no plans for the long weekend.
dont even have time to plan the hk trip coz of the stupid course match.
look thru all the courses in nsysu for dunno how many times alrd.
bleahs.
睡觉!
maybe just sleep thru the 4 days.
lols.
ok.
sleep. now.
~written by doggiewater at 11:38 pm~
went to CiJin Island on Sunday to cycle.
it was quite fun.
and im so proud of myself that i managed to cycle with the huge crowd of ppl and also on the road.
woohoo.
thou i still go home with some scratches.
but no falls!
hahas.
but i still cant look and enjoy the scenery as i cycle.
i still have to stare at the bike in front of me.
i dunno why.
lols.
went to the beach.
walked on the sand.
and immediately regret it coz the sand is so freaking hot.
but we still walked towards the sea and enjoy the wind and view.
then we ran back coz the sand too hot le.
no wonder i dont see much ppl on the beach back in sch here.
the sand must be freaking hot too.
start lesson ytd.
the first lesson that i went to, it's so freaking full that so many ppl have to stand or sit on the stairs.
how to get the mod like that sia..
zzzz...
today's HRM was full too.
but the prof is better.
he say he will accept all that add the mod, and will look for a bigger place to house all of us.
hehe.
yay.
and we also formed groups today le.
the sports class i went to today, apparently im the only exchange student there.
and also i think sports class is for year 1 ppl lor.
anyway the prof say he will add me in if i dont get it when doing add drop.
yay x2.
that 2 mods settled le.
hahas.
the grades are based a lot on attendance sia.
he say, 50% for attendance.
10% for attire.
10% for punctuality.
so, if i skip one class, that will be 70% of the marks gone for that day.
omg sia..
><
srsly very headache over the mods sia.
so many things to look for to check and match and what not.
argh.
forever never ending.
until we are able to add next monday.
hopefully i can clear all my mods here, then i can grad in 3.5 yrs.
and save some money too.
hehe.
i think shld be ok if i take more mods than i usually do.
coz 2 or 3 sports, easily passable.
HRM in english, mostly project and grp work based.
financial math also in english, so also shld be ok.
left one more math mod, still dunno what to take yet.
i think shld be ok la.
hahas.
hopefully i can add all the mods that i want to take.
then dont need headache after next week le.
if not still need to drag 2 more weeks.
finally settled my registration today.
went to pay for the misc fee and hostel fee.
i wasnt expecting to pay so much lor.
now end up everything add up same as ntu fee liao.

><
also, i've planed out a list of things to bring over.
as the list grows longer, i rlly wonder how im gonna fit them all into my luggage and my bagpack.
dunno whether i've missed out anything..
rlly sucks doing exchange on my own..
nobody to check with, nobody to confirm my thoughts and thinking, just leaving me there wondering if the things i'm doing are right.
why did i even sign up for this.
-.-

zzzz...
~written by doggiewater at 7:26 pm~

~written by doggiewater at 9:25 pm~
have been wanting to book my air tickets to taiwan.
but....
i also dunno which one to book better.
the cheaper ones dont go to gaoxiong.
and the ones that do, are a little ex..
tried finding ways to make my way to gaoxiong from taoyuan, the website for gaotie is down.
and i srsly cant imagine traveling ard lugging my luggage.
zzzz....
if only i can squeeze everything into my bagpack.
zq suggest i can stay in taipei a few days first then go gaoxiong.
it's a good idea.
can stay in some hostel first, and go travelling abit..
but that idea of going ard alone terrifies me a little.
a little regretful now.
actually, it's more than a little.
lols.
haiz.
so many things i have to do now.
my 20page report for intern.
plus presentation.
air ticket. baggage. dates. train ticket.
visa.
sucks srsly..
zzzz...
if only im not going alone..
~written by doggiewater at 8:12 pm~
actually with lots to say, but i cant seem to find words to express myself.
lots of things to do, but without the required information and knowledge.
~written by doggiewater at 10:10 am~
taking out my braces on 3rd july~
hehe :D
~written by doggiewater at 11:57 am~
that kl in charge of the temps is srsly damn bitch.
since the start jiu tbth her.
ask us girls not to wear too short de skirt, and the skirt she wears are like so freaking short some times.
ask us to quiet down and dont talk so much, and she always just shouts across the office to call ppl, to pass message.
wtf, we were just talking maybe sometimes a bit too loud then cannot, you shout across the office jiu can.
-.-
all these still ok.
then every month de last fri, is blue sky friday mah, so MOM ppl normally can end work half an hour earlier than other fridays.
so last month, we interns left early lor.
but the temps didnt leave early.
then that bitch just shout across to i forgot who, to ask say, 'they can leave so early meh?'
wth srsly.
we can leave is bcoz we asked abt this earlier whether we can leave earlier like other MOMers, and we were given the permission that's why we left earlier.
then this week bcoz got free mrt if reach clarke quay early, so i asked if we can go work earlier and leave earlier.
the permission was given, so some of us interns went to work early and left early.
then the temps see le they also want and make so much noise.
then that kl go make noise with the higher ups.
end up, tmr we might not have blue sky friday and next week might not be able to start and end work early.
fuck the temps sia.
want these benefits then ask for it earlier la.
dont wait for us to ask first then make noise say why we can and you all cannot.
want then ask la.
fuck u.
now make us all also cannot.
ass.
i was still so happy tmr can leave work at 4.30.
like a super early.
now... also dont think can le..
srsly a bunch of childish kids.
~written by doggiewater at 8:31 pm~

><
oh ya today trng ended early so we get to leave at 5pm.

but this coming week is trng again sia.
trng tgt with my field interviewers..
~written by doggiewater at 7:57 pm~
last night went out with krabi peeps to play nation.
we played for 3 hrs.
satisfied my craving for playing wii.
heh.
it was quite fun.
and quite funny.
ky joined us for the last hour after his work.
after that we went out to find somewhere to sit and chat.
after some discussion we decided to go the marina barrage to chill.
following the gps, we got to a dead end, so we went ard finding another way.
end up, we realise the barrage is closed for maintenance or smth.
so the dead end closed off road is actually the correct way.
lols.
then we need to think of another place to go.
after quite soooome time, we finally decided to go to marina square to find place to sit.
so we got there, bought some drinks and found a place with chairs and tables to sit at.
chatted till ard 3am.
when we wanna go home, actually we can go home in pairs coz 2 stay in along the red line can share cab, then ky drives so he can send char back sine they both stay along green line.
then cindy and me along the purple line.
end up cindy's bro came to pick her up so i would have to take the cab back alone.
ky 不放心 so he ended up sending me home.
><
grateful for that, if not i'll have to cab back myself.
hehe.
i was hoping dad hvnt wake up when i got back.
but yea he's awake when i got back.
luckily he nvr say anything or ask anything.
heh.
need to go to sch for atc briefing ltr in the evening.
meanwhile i doesnt have much plans for the day other than to get my concession card made.
actually i tot can nua tgt before i go sch.
but oh well.
i shall think of something to do.
shall jio freinds go out chill.
and stop thinking so much.
hopefully tmr's plan to go wimbly lu is confirmed.
then for most of the weekends that follows, i more or less got plans le.
then comes july, shld be going staycation with mj and kj one of the weekends.
shall keep myself busy too then so that i wont keep thinking and asking le.
i'll have my own plans to be busy with.
good idea right.
hahas.
ok la.
shall continue with my fast and furious movie series to pass time today.
~written by doggiewater at 11:37 am~
finally preparing to go out and play.
hahas.
still dunno what to do tmr.
need to go back to sch in the evening.
just yi ge sian.
zzzzz....
shall go make my concession card tmr.
sunday no confirm plans yet, might be going wimbly lu for dessert.
hehe.
but this long weekend gonna spend quite a bit.
><
need to think of what to do tmr..
bleahs..
~written by doggiewater at 6:20 pm~
got my field interviewers on monday.
meet some on tues, some today.
hopefully they'll be good and can hit quota..
this week pass quite fast coz we got quite some stuff to do.
calls coming in le.
today my duty to retrieve voicemails.
every hour need to check.
friendly respondents are nice to talk to.
but those uncoorperative ones are freaking hell irritating.
haiz.
sucks sia.
anyway we finally got our SOE password.
finally got laptop to use.
heh.
happy.
it's so much easier for us to do the surveys coz the system will automatically route us to the correct qns instead of having to flip thru the hardcopy of the survey.
actually also nth much to update la.
just that fi had moved back to his original seat, which is at my area there.
means he can see me while i work.
means i cannot slack too much.
and he can listen to what we are saying while we are on the phone.
><
and a lot of ppl come and find him, so got a little bit irritating to have ppl keep walking in and out.
but got one good thing la, if got problems just turn ard and ask him only.
so.. oh well..
ok la.
~written by doggiewater at 8:02 pm~
so sian so tired my feet aching like mad.
zzzzz...
not gonna do this kind of thing anymore.
just yi ge fail.
-.-
my expectations need a serious adjustment.
make me feel so stupid.
lols.
oh well.
anyway today go office fold letters.
was hoping to find familiar addresses.
and tried to find my house.
but cant manage to get to find.
today's amount is up to postal codes that start with 57.
hvnt get to 55 coz is from the back.
when we finally finish, pack them into the sacks, we then started on monday's letters.
i was hoping and hoping i will get 55.
end up we got 54.
and i dunno who got 55.
:(
bleahs.
nvm.
monday then go find again.
hahas.
actually im hoping i dont find my house address sia.
srsly dont want to do the survey.
i see until sian alrd.
><
oh ya and one more thing.
the aunties.
OMG!
srsly just wanna keep rolling my eyes.
dunno whether to laugh or to cry srsly.
make up super exasperated!
tmr go batam.
i hvnt even pack my bag.
still need to wake up early tmr.
but at least smth to console myself with is that i finally changed currency.
well that's the only positive thing out of that.
bleahs.
why on earth did i even wear heels today.
stupid.
once ppl start receiving the letters, phone calls will start coming in le.
and we still hvnt gotten our call script.
zzzz...
everything also last minute sia.
also hvnt gotten our SOE pw to log into our laptop.
hvnt even look at the chinese survey copy.
after the trng, we hvnt even get to practice using the system.
lols.
monday everybody just die~
tues onwards gonna start meeting our field interviewers le.
but the recruitment still not completed yet.
today still got interviews for them.
and bcoz fir not free, one of us interns was asked to go sit in for the interview.
to 'sit there and look pretty'.
hahas!
and i heard next monday will still have, and other interns will be getting our chance to go do the interviews.
lols.
i rlly rlly hope to get good field interviewers so that my work will not be so tough.
i know fb got recruit agency posting abt the govt survey job, i realise it's for us.
and erm... knowing that, im srsly skeptical abt the type of ppl we'll be getting.
><
we can only hope for the best!!
ok la super tired liao.
need to go do my things.
haiz.
sianz max.
