Jobless. No income sucks. I get kinda bored. But I keep remind myself to be positive. Stay optimistic. Be that happy person I wanna be. hmmm. Maybe this mindset was cultivated when Peggy Tng introduced Sports Science to us. Edgar Tham? I think it's good. Really useful in chasing the negativity away.
So, looking on the bright side, being jobless is really not that bad. Being so free gives me loads of time to do many things, as long as I stop procrastinating. heh. Stuff like clearing up my messy cupboard. Chipping in more to household chores. Selecting photos to print out and compiling into albums. Doing some artsy farty stuff that I've been wanting to do.. like a video, or a collage, or some scrap book. I was even pretty inspired to clear that layer of dust on my piano and test out the keys.
I should stop proscrastinating yeah? Now that I have the time. Coz when I start work... gee I don't know whether I'll do all these.
Now that I've been back to our sunny island for almost 2 months...(gasp!!! so fast?) I realised that there's only so much that being online can keep me entertained. Facebook doesn't seem that interesting lately. Not many are on msn since they are either at school or at work. I recently gone back to watching my fav shows on youku and cucirca. I even watched those never-shown-before scenes of Titanic on youtube. omg. that's how bored i am. (but i love that movie ok) = ) "Jack, wake up~ wake up!" = (
Interestingly, I've also picked up some reading. The only books I used to read other than my textbooks, lit text, Enid Blyton R.L Stine when I was a kid, are Harry Potter. I just completed the Twilight series a few weeks back. Enjoyable. =) Read Marley & Me too. Loved it! And it's the first time I required tissues (i.e. more than 1 piece) while reading a book.
But I think that it might be a good idea for me to should start reading stuff of more substance, non-fiction... something that I can reflect, or learn.... Hmmm. But I should probably find something interesting if not I'll probably take donkey years to finish. Anyway so one day I was just looking around for some books in my bookshelf. I found a book on effective sleeping habits. heh. Ok and I picked it up. Though I skipped through some chapters, I actually finished it! = ) I gained a little knowledge about sleep, though hmmmmm... I still haven't found a way to make myself fall asleep faster.
Happened to hear bout some book through a conversation with a friend and I went to check to check out the preview. I'm actually pretty excited to read it. That's a first, outside Harry Potter. lol.
Show me what you have got, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus! = )

crossing paths.
hee! keeping in touch with old frens just makes me feel.... *loss-for-words* = )
come to think of it, i've been pretty blessed to meet nice pple along the way. although i have lost touch with some of them, or grew distant from them, it's still pretty darn nice thinking bout the good old times~
pple like biawak, queen and taozi... my buddies/sisters/brother in army... they made my boring army days much more memorable than it would have been. the kayaking. the dancing. the singing. the "bathing together in the disgusting toilet dressed in sarongs".... muacckzzzz.
pple like frank from the Jitney.. who made me feel so special ... and also made me wonder what i did to deserve such wonderful treatment from someone i met for only a short while! the fanstatic camping trips. the retrieval of my laptop from new york airport. and a very unexpectedly, surprise letter of recommendation. wow.
pple like xiao wen... whom i can hit it off so well in that short 3 months in NAPs. going gaga over the mumu and the lalas haha!
pple like parizat and amanguli... though we were never exactly close, but those memories that i have of making long distance calls and writing letters would probably last till... i have grey hair?
pple like my dear friends from school, softball, and of course kenny pok!
many many pleasant and wonderful memories.
life isn't that bad really when u think about the good stuff! = )

decision making time again.
hmmmmm. ok finally there's one!
What should my considerations be?
To take up a job because i'm lazy to apply for more... is a very bad reason. But i really don't know if i wanna spend another x weeks applying-going for interviews-waiting-more waiting.
Of course, if I'm patient, and choosy, I may get a job that I might be more excited about. Maybe.
Whatever decision I make, I should be happy about it right? Hmmmmm...
Will I be happy travelling to Changi South? There's a shuttle bus from Bedok though. Haiya. But central is so much less ulu. Aiya. But then again, means I dun have squeeze in with the crazy morning/evening crowd... I think.
Will I be happy with the amount they are offering me? Urmmmm. muhahaha. I can't believe they actually increased the pay.... lalala. Though I wished I have stated a higher expected salary. Darn. Is this greed? How much am I worth, really? Does the pay now really matter? Will I learn as much as what they had assured me?
Will I be happy knowing that my first job is not one of those glam and reknown big companies? Do all these really matter? If I'm zai, no need to worry bout this right?
I think I'm ready to start my working life. It's just whether I wanna start with this company... or wait longer for some company that can "sweep me off my feet". But I wonder whether there's such a company since I don't exactly have a dream company. I don't even know if Marina Bay Sands will be considered as one. I guess I wouldn't mind, but provided that they are more efficient. They are taking forever to get back to me. Slow poks.
POKE POKE POKE.
Maybe when I'm finally working as a HR executive, I will understand why some recruitment process is bloody slow. But I shall aim to be much faster. Seriously. haha!

hello once again!
wahhhh. i haven't dropped back in a long long while! sorry blogger, i think facebook kinda distracted me from you.
but i realise blogging is still the best for me to get my thoughts out openly... or rather, at least more openly than i would in facebook.
to those who still visits this page, big hello to you! i'm back from the states! and currently jobless! any lobang? muhahahaa!
was feeling kinda blue so decided to pop by. i realised i was so filled with negative thoughts the moment i woke up, it's so darn unhealthy. everything that i see/hear kinda got me slightly irritated or just gave me that 'bleah' feeling... listening to the conversation btw my dad and bro in the morning, hearing the beeping noise on someone's phone on the train, squeezing in with the crowd and feeling irritated by the stuffiness.... I didn't even feel like moving to the beat of my fav clubbing songs that i was hooked onto in the states.
Why the negativity! Why the blues! Where's my joy! My appreciation of life!
Sucks sucks. I realise how wonderful it is to be feeling happy and carefree. If only I'm back in Long Island, I'll grab my shoes and jog to the beach in Bridgehampton. Ok lah, actually East Coast is good enough. hehehehe. But I'm not too sure if jogging will make my jaw ache since I had just undergone a wisdom tooth extraction... nvm... Soon!
Anyway I just went for an interview with Capitaland. I enjoyed the interview actually. The recruiter was really nice and friendly. But yeah... like she said, they are looking for a suitable candidate, not necessarily the best one. So..... we'll see whether I am suitable or not! Sometimes I don't know if being my true self at the interview is the best way to go... Theoretically, yes I should I think. But then when I reflect again after the interview, I start to wonder whether I could have said something else intead, or whether I should have been a little less honest. Hmmmm. Well well well.
The recruiter asked me what I think is my strength / how others view me. A very standard question... which I usually would have stuck to my "standard answer" which is kinda applicable to most jobs that I apply to. Strangely today, I said a whole load of stuff about having a "positive mindset". I wonder it was to remind myself with regard to the blueness that I've been experiencing. Perhaps perhaps.
I like being happy-go-lucky Jo!
Jia you lehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I'm done with school?
YAY! This is a bit outdated, but I shall post an entry anyway!
I'm officially officially done with school, oops, except for Convo (27th July!) Had a pleasant pleasant surprise when I checked my results! My best semester = ) Good way to end Uni. Yay! *pat myself on the shoulder*
And I've finally secured my First Class. I remember telling people that I wasn't aiming for first. I just do what I normally do. I was borderline for the past few semesters, and I didn't make any further special attempts to strive for first class. On the contrary, my friends will know that I slacked in year 3... especially in sem 2. I only did one tutorial for my marketing law module, and I was unprepared for lessons every week. (Contrast with Year 1... I did every single tutorial, and prepared for lecture in advance. wow.) Did I have a 2 day week? *GRINZ*
So now that I've gotten it, yes, it's really a bonus = )
Not too sure what I've learnt in HR... seriously. Somehow I managed to get through via 'smoking'. No joke! E.g. when we can't get any company for an interview/or we lack a certain bit of info, we smoke by cooking up some story, or pretending we are the interviewee. DOTS.
FYP was so darn tough and tiring. I'm glad I'm done. For now at least.
I'll miss school definitely... friends... the stupid but fun things we do during & outside class... Hall. Orientations. But I won't miss the projects & lessons, and also probably won't miss the profs, sadly (except for Prof Templar, and Quazi! And Ram. And the dedicated and enthusiastic Acct II teacher whom I've forgotten the name. haha)
So folks, work hard now, and u can slack in your final year, like me! hahhaha (Only applies to NTU Business/HR, the rest i dunno! hahahhaa)

Update!
I hope time passes a little slower! I don't wanna go back so soon! Coz going back means, I gotta find a job. Do up cover letters & resumes, and go for interviews. And wait and wait and wait for news. Not fun. Returning to Singapore also means no more nice, cool weather, no more nice, country-like beautiful houses. No more "riding down the road with Hampton Jitneyyyyyyy~". The only thing I miss from Sg is the people,and the food (hohoho, I got Sarah to bring me bak kut teh spices and kaya! lol)
Speaking of food... I ACTUALLY COOKED!!! Cooked meaning, no longer just plain rice and fried eggs etc. There was one day I was staring at the frozen chicken in my freezer. They had been there for some time so I decided to do something with it. Never prepared a chicken dish in my life, so I just decided to use whatever I can find in my kitchen and gut feel (I was too lazy to find recipes online). So the first chicken dish I prepared was just marinating the chicken in some sauce that we have at home, sugar and chopped garlic (the pepsi chicken not counted, coz that was taught by our Ah Tiong fren from the Philippines). My chicken actually smelt and tasted pretty good! wahahhaa! *pat myself on the shoulder* I dunno whether it's disgusting, but anyway I cooked rice using the water which I boiled my chicken in (not as nice smelling as chicken rice, but got some nice smell k!)
Today, another batch of chicken was staring at me (Ok, fine, I was staring at the chicken.) So I decided to have another chicken dish again. This time, I played with ginger! Taste pretty good in my opinion too! I chopped garlics, but dunno what to do with it after i finished chopping. LOL Also had a small bit of tomato left. So I decided to dump everything to cook with the rice. Still edible, and nice smelling, with a slight tinge of red! haha Cooking can be rather fun.
Work has been great, as usual! = ) Oh but I encounted sth very 'wah lau eh1' yesterday! There's the elderly woman who was panicking coz she needed to contact somebody but she forgot her phone. So she asked for my phone, which of course, I didn't refuse. She made several calls and finally got her stuff settled. I know one shouldn't expect anything in return but it is still very "WAH LAU" that that lady didn't offer anything! The least I had expected from her was an offer to reimburse me for my phone bills (My plan sucks. Not cheap! And she probably used bout 3 bucks or so, i dunno.) Small tip also can. Thank you note I also shuang. But nth man! (other than "thank you." but aiya.. still..)
So when I knew that she wasn't going to offer anything (coz I had finished collecting my fares, and trash, and she was sitting directly behind me...), I thought to myself that since she's a stranger and we don't know each other, it seems reasonable to ask for reimbursement for my bills. "No need to paiseh coz I am in buay-paiseh soil. Ok. Set." But then hor, I chickened out at the last minute. Coz when she was walking down from the bus, she looked old and fragile... So I just watch her walk away. WAH LAO!
Nevermind, I did a good deed. Kindness begets kindness! 好心有好报！

Busy week ahead!
Busy week ahead! hehehehe!
I'm actually excited over the busy week! lol But i guess it's not just the monetary compensation that's making me happy... (holiday week! most likely to hit > 40 hrs, so pay = $13.5/hr!) I kinda like what I'm doing at the Jitney! Having kns passengers suck, but so far I think I've met more pleasant than unpleasant ones = ) I received a "compliment ticket" from a nice, old lady a few days back! And it's a great feeling when they call and acknowledge my name, and say stuff like "you are very sweet"; "that is really kind of you" ... wahahhaha! Nvm if it's just 客套话... makes me feel good anyway!
But I would really welcome my off day on 27 May. My last free day was on 11 May, which I spent my day with Grace... and moving house! (i had a great time though!) Thinking of catching a Broadway and probably check out Chinatown to get stuff like chrysanthemum! Kinda miss those cheena stuff! hehehehe
Hmmmm. Enjoying myself over here! But after that old cow incident, I find myself a little more restrained when I interact with the drivers. Was just thinking of some of the conversations that I had. Interesting... But a bit "uhhh" sometimes. Some were made jokingly, some were made with .... i-dunno-their-intentions?

Scenario A
Jo: You cut your hair!
A: Yeah, you like it?
Jo: Yup, looks cute.
A: So do you want to go on a date with me?
Jo: NO! [But i know this guy is joking, coz his gf is working in the Jitney.]
Scenario B
B: [Chatting on the phone with some fren]
Jo: Oooh, so you going on a party tonight!
B: Yes I am, you wanna come?
Jo: Uh... no thanks!
B: How bout next time?
Jo: uh... dots dots dots ... [Cock up more lame excuses like not being a party girl. LOL. I must have sounded like a geek/nerd. My African driver today commented that I’m like an angel coz I dun do think and dun do that. Hohohoho. Watever! I shuang can already!]
Scenario C
C: When are you going to invite me to your house?
Jo: Ah? Eh... when there's a party?
C: Why won’t you invite me to you house?
Jo: Ehhhh... My house is small. We stay in the basement!
C: So you are saying I'm too big? Occupying too much space?
Jo: [waaaaaaahahahaha! Oops. Not a very smart excuse. And incidentally later he said whether I can bring him to Sg. Then I casually said I dun have any luggage space for him. Then he goes on again about me teasing him about his size. Lol.]
Scenario D
D: When will you go out with me?
Jo: Erm. I don't go out! [wahahhaaha. I know how geeky and stupid this sounds. But isn’t this a strong enough hint to say that “hello, I’m not going out with you.”]
D: Then what do you do on your off days?
Jo: Eh... I go to the city to meet my friends, or hang out with the pple at the Blue house... or I just stay at home to relax & go online?
D: Online? Don't you wanna go out to have some fun?
Jo: I'm having fun!
Still got many many many more of such instances. Some exchanges are just plain teasing. But some don't seem that simple... It's kinda challenging on the mind! Talking to these pple makes me think a lot! Gotta think of witty answers. And gotta be mindful of my response and the questions I ask them, just in case I accidentally send off unwanted signals. But such interactions with the drivers do make my day rather interesting. Haha!And I realised that many of them have been married & divorced quite a number of times.
Wah lau. Party less folks!

Greetings from New York!
Oooopsie! Haven't been updating here coz I posted notes and pics on Facebook! But i figured some stuff are better said in private... Although this blog isn't exactly private, but i believe fewer pple knows bout it!
Anyway anyway, i had a SUPER SUPER OMG OMG day yesterday!!! But the 重点is that the people are super duper open here! *gulpz*.
Gay John told us straight in the face that he doesn't like girls. And he brought us to his bf/fling's apartment in New York city and we had dinner together. Cool shit. haha I was a bit concerned if they would exhibit those public display of affection thingy. lol. Coz I dunno if I should look, or pretend that I din see anything. But anyway John's a fun guy to be with, and is easy to get along = )
So back to the crazy day... Rather interesting, but also a bit ... gahhh~
I had a great time with Patricia, the driver for my morning shift. We had an empty bus into the city so we could chit chat along the way. Forgot what we were talking about exactly... but I found out she has a wife!!! And they first met on the bus! (Pat's wife was a passenger) Cool sia~ Was interesting coz when I first got on the bus, I was thinking of asking Pat whether's she's married/have kids, so I can wish her Happy Mother's Day. But anyway in the end I did wish her anyway coz she has grandchildren. ~wooots. Think those kids are from her wife's previous marriage. And I also found out Pat had a previous marriage (with a lady too), and that she took FIVE YEARS off to travel around. Cool man!
Ok after my first shift, I popped over to the blue house for awhile coz I still had some time before my 2nd shift started. Double shifts are good, coz it means $$$$$$$ = ) ANYWAY, the 重点!!! Gosh.
My driver in the 2nd shift is called Bernie. I had a rather good impression of him coz he's easy to get along and rather humourous. The bus was empty initially coz we had to go somewhere to pick up the passengers, so we chatted along the way. 说着说着, we were on the topic of relationships. Bernie shared his (very open and 开放）views ... e.g. He likes women (nvm the fact that he is married and have kids). He also said stuff like, if a woman wants him, he will 'take' her; and that women in the States enjoy sex as much as the men. Then he asked stuff about me! I said I was 'traditional'! (Interestingly, I also had a similar conversation with Pat earlier and told her the same thing too! That I am a 'traditional' person). Anyway so back to Bernie. After I told him that, he gave me that oh-my-god look and said "u mean.... u are saving till marriage?!? " I said "yeah" and that he was like going "How old are you!" Apparently he was very amazed that I'm this old and is still a Ms V.
Anyway 重点is ... Bernie's a 老牛who wants to eat 嫩草! And the嫩草 in this instance is yours truly! OMG~. He didn't do anything, but he said alot of things that I dunno how I should respond! I also paiseh to say the stuff he said but in summary, he's either flirting/teasing/interested in me! Jo has her charms. Omg omg omg! 老牛!!! And he said Kenny's in trouble! Wah lau!
Anyway anyway, i had a SUPER SUPER OMG OMG day yesterday!!! But the 重点is that the people are super duper open here! *gulpz*.
Gay John told us straight in the face that he doesn't like girls. And he brought us to his bf/fling's apartment in New York city and we had dinner together. Cool shit. haha I was a bit concerned if they would exhibit those public display of affection thingy. lol. Coz I dunno if I should look, or pretend that I din see anything. But anyway John's a fun guy to be with, and is easy to get along = )
So back to the crazy day... Rather interesting, but also a bit ... gahhh~
I had a great time with Patricia, the driver for my morning shift. We had an empty bus into the city so we could chit chat along the way. Forgot what we were talking about exactly... but I found out she has a wife!!! And they first met on the bus! (Pat's wife was a passenger) Cool sia~ Was interesting coz when I first got on the bus, I was thinking of asking Pat whether's she's married/have kids, so I can wish her Happy Mother's Day. But anyway in the end I did wish her anyway coz she has grandchildren. ~wooots. Think those kids are from her wife's previous marriage. And I also found out Pat had a previous marriage (with a lady too), and that she took FIVE YEARS off to travel around. Cool man!
Ok after my first shift, I popped over to the blue house for awhile coz I still had some time before my 2nd shift started. Double shifts are good, coz it means $$$$$$$ = ) ANYWAY, the 重点!!! Gosh.
My driver in the 2nd shift is called Bernie. I had a rather good impression of him coz he's easy to get along and rather humourous. The bus was empty initially coz we had to go somewhere to pick up the passengers, so we chatted along the way. 说着说着, we were on the topic of relationships. Bernie shared his (very open and 开放）views ... e.g. He likes women (nvm the fact that he is married and have kids). He also said stuff like, if a woman wants him, he will 'take' her; and that women in the States enjoy sex as much as the men. Then he asked stuff about me! I said I was 'traditional'! (Interestingly, I also had a similar conversation with Pat earlier and told her the same thing too! That I am a 'traditional' person). Anyway so back to Bernie. After I told him that, he gave me that oh-my-god look and said "u mean.... u are saving till marriage?!? " I said "yeah" and that he was like going "How old are you!" Apparently he was very amazed that I'm this old and is still a Ms V.

Trip Hostperson at Hampton Jitney, hopefully!
oooh! i might be going to US afterall! i could potentially be a trip hostperson at Hampton Jitney!
I received a huuuuuuuuuge shock when speedwing called me last thurs night to say that my friends and i have been accepted, and that they will book the flight on the 23rd April when they have received the confirmation from the employers.
23rd April!!! That's like less than a week's time. *panics* We've decided to request for a slightly later date so that we have more time to settle everything. So.... ya, back to waiting again.
Since the trip is not confirmed plus chop type (coz the employer hasn't sent those necessary work documents yet), i'm still like... i dunno... should i start packing? should i start planning? what if i can't go in the end? Facing such disappointment once is enough really. hahaha.
I have started thinking of what I need to bring and things i need to buy... But I haven't reached the stage of packing those stuff I need into my bag, and buying the things I need...I'm super duper excited, but yet there's this nagging thoughts at the back of my head reminding myself not to be overly excited.. just in case...
BUT i've also figured that... choi, but if really sth happens again, i shall just grab the bag which i've packed and find some other country (just that i probably won't need so many clothes... so it means that i might need to unpack anyway... ) Hmmm.. ok i shall just wait for a couple more days for the confirmation! Packing ain't that difficult, right? haha
Planning wise... ok lah, i shall just go ahead since i'm relatively free? = )

= (
haiya!
Bad news seem to come together...
First the retrenchment. Now this....
I din get the job that I tot I stood a high chance of getting... bleah! Disappointed, but I shall 看开. 东家不打打西家 lor! ... Though I would like to know what din I do well... they really should have some sort of feedback system eh? Like say, what areas can be improved on, or sth..... But i suspect even if they do feedback, they'll probably just say sth like "we regret to inform you that blah blah blah... unsuitable for the postion blah blah blah..."
sians! It's about perspectives man. I shall look on the bright side...
Maybe I'll find another job that suits me better! hor hor hor?
And maybe it's good that I am temporary jobless... at least it means that I've more chances of going for interviews in the coming weeks? hor hor hor?
I just went for another interview today. Missed my bus stop and i decided to cab down... haha Met an enthusiastic, (overly?) friendly cabbie... but he did say sth that made me happy! hahaha He said that if he was the interviewer he will recruit me. wahahahhaha! Even though he may be just saying sth to sound nice, but nevertheless i felt happy! *hee*
I have come to terms that I'm not going to be a Yellowstone employee. But i still want my work and travel!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed. Toes as well.
Ok I so need to study for my paper. Ciao!

i've been retrenched.
I can't believe my ears/eyes. Received an email from speedwing a few days back informing us to attend an urgent briefing for selected students. Turned out that it was a session to break a super unfortunate piece of news - 37 of us have been retrenched by Yellowstone!!! Unbelievable!!! To think we were still happily discussing our travelling plans minutes before the news were told to us.
Yet another event within the past one-two months which is creating disruptions to my mood. What the hell? dots.
bleah. I have been looking forward to Yellowstone since last year!!! And I would have been there one month from now!!! gosh. Ok but reality has sunk in... I've gotten over the fact that I won't be working in Yellowstone. Now, I just hope that there are some other employers that are still hiring! Somewhere is better than nowhere! The thought of not being able to go to US this summer and that the USD sitting at home may not be spent.... is ... unimaginable. I still haven't told my parents yet coz I still hold on to that glimmer of hope that Work and Travel USA will still materialise. In fact, last night, my group of friends and I were frantically looking for new employers and emailed Speedwing ASAP to let them know our choices. *cross fingers*
Today I went back to Msia to 扫墓for清明. I kept praying to my grandparents that I will still get to go to US (among praying for other things of course). I even attempted to pray in hokkien can? But my hokkien is so chui that all i can think of is "让我去bi2 kok4, PLEASE?"
The cemetery when the sun was rising.
My mummy and aunties folding the 金银纸。
Very colourful eh? I've never seen those colour papers before. And check out our offerings, there's durian!!! haha My ah gong loved them. So do I!
I've no idea what the line of circle is for. As my cousin was doing this, I was thinking... when it's my generation (technically, we are of the same generation but he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay older), what will happen to such traditions?Sunday, March 29, 2009
ONE month
OMG.
tuesday. THE day!!
last presentation.
last report.
hopefully... last interview too?
and WAH.
YELLOWSTONE.
ONE more month. ONE!!!
I'm really, finally ... graduating...
I'm starting to miss some school stuff... = \
Ooops. Not a good time to reminisce now when I have work staring at my face. Talk about this again! hehe
Oh before I leave, I have to self-declare to everyone... I'm a goondo blur pok man!!! *slaps forehead* I actually went down to AMK Hub today thinking that the Work & Travel briefing was held there. To my horror, I realised it's HDB HUB at Toa Payoh instead, after 3 calls to Wen Yee. OMG!!! How the hell did I get the location wrong when I've checked the directions quite a number of times? The location was even saved in my calendar note sia. JO!!! pok!!!

Mount Jo has stopped spewing smoke and larva.
gah.
Was looking at the previous posts and I realised how angsty I sounded. I apologize for that folks. Hope I din scare you guys! hehe. Not to worry, I have "found peace" and I feel mucccccccccccccch better = ) Thanks to all who were concerned. Thanks to all who were there to listen. Thanks to those who bothered to explain. *winks*
It's interesting how little little things could escalate to sth so… absurd. I’m looking at this issue again, with a more clear-headed view… Though I want to forget and move on, there are still bugging thoughts and I want to get it out of my head, and hopefully after I’ve done so, I can just focus on what I should be focusing on (my workload is piling and deadlines are pressing nearer and nearer). *gasps*
I’ve been thinking, as usual… The “What Ifs.” Perhaps, this wouldn’t have happened,
a) If … GG hadn’t acted that way to piss pple off? [but GG’s attitude could have possibly been for the better if pple had the courage to feedback to her about it, and that she was willing to change]
b) If … EY hadn’t brought this up during the debrief? [but if he hadn’t brought this up, would someone else be pissed at her instead and causing others and himself to suffer silently]
c) If … I didn’t approach GG to feedback to her? [but then she would never learn, and pple would just continue to be pisssed with her.]
d) If… CQ wasn’t around as GG, SO and I were talking about this [but it could have been ANYONE. Coz GG would definitely keep asking pple until she gets her answer. Sorry babe, just plain suay. Wrong place, wrong time. = \]
e) If… the note hadn’t been posted on FB. [well well. But well, people have different ways of expressing their displeasure… Maybe privatized it next time? Haha hopefully no more next time… hehe ]
f) If… I din request CQ to clarify this issue… then she wouldn’t have to be involved in all this drama. [but SO would then be the scapegoat. She wouldn’t be … “exonerated”. GOSH.]
g) If… I din try to find out why SO was involved? [but I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I knew what others were saying and I knew those weren’t facts…]
h) If… EY had thought through this entire thing rationally before jumping to conclusions… and if he was calmed enough to hear my explanations… and hadn’t used mean descriptive words… [… … … ]
i) If… I hadn’t reciprocated with mean words myself… [I am not proud of myself for saying this. I was fuming. REALLY fuming. ]
j) If… I had approached EY to discuss this first before speaking with GG. [yeah. Maybe this would have been better… right?]
k) If... People were a little more understanding and showed appreciation of all the hardwork GG had done, or showed acknowledgement to all other folks who had worked their ass off for the club/HRYF... If they had weighed the pros and cons of their actions... If they had not judged a person by the things that were done disapprovingly and had not ignored the beautiful side of the things that had been done...
… I think the list can go on and on and on…
Just too bad!!! 各有各的错! Hope after their moments of reflections, everybody will反省and realize how stupid we have been to be mad at each other. Where is the love!
My ‘aunty’ came. Well, about time too. Considering that I have gone through an emotionally draining journey over the past weeks. One moment I am in lala land. …next moment I am feeling blue… Then I suddenly found thrilled and YAY!!! Before I know it, Mount Josephine erupted.
What an interesting, dramatic March. Definitely one of the most exciting things which happened in Uni. LOL.

case closed - an entry dedicated to the dog expert
what the hell.
i hope this is the last entry i'm making with regard to this incident.
i received the reply this morning and it made my blood boil... i had to leave the house and breathe some fresh air and smell nature again. would have continued jogging if i din feel my prata bouncing up and down in my stomach.
i hope this post reaches his ears somehow, coz apparently my email was a wasted attempt. i'm considering facebook note. but that's how the problem escalated.... but i so want pple to hear my side of the story!!~!!~~!!
did i blame anybody? no. (except you now)
did i do wrong? YES, i admit. but not for voicing out my opinion though. i would have said it again. but probably in a different manner. but at least i 敢做敢当. i dare to say and acknoweledge that i said it. yourself? subtle, sacartic remarks, and acting like u are the victim.
did i use any sacarstics remarks on others? no. i certainly wouldn't go around saying who's a dog, who's a lackey, who's rotten. (except to you now, and i am not exactly sorry about that. coz mine is pale in comparison to yours. u are the king of sacarsm i realised...)
did i apologize? YES.u didn't. for all the things u said, and for all the pple u wronged.
did i bother finding out the truth. YES. which u didn't. u just conveniently assumed.
did i bother explaning? YES. but it fell on deaf ears. 对牛弹琴. a plain waste of my efforts and time.
so i shall not waste my energy, time, tears, and risk of any internal health effects on a stupid bull like u. go be a vet lah, since u are such a doggy expert. u have stepped on my tail, so stay away from me, if not i will bite u. BARK!!!
and dear friends, don't worry. i will be fine. i won't be doing anything stupid = ) my volcano has erupted, but once the larva as ... i dunno... harden? ... i am good. =)
cheers to a productive day. i need to be productive today, and for the rest of the week. so many stuff left undone, i shan't spend another minute on this stupid, petty, incident and a stupid, petty bull.

a series of unfortunate events
what a night. i haven't felt this way in awhile! ok the recent softball thing was different. that was for fighting what we deserve. but this.... this brings back memories of what happened when i was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay younger, 12? but back then, hormones were unstable, we were young and childish.
at 22, aren't we suppose to act maturely, like adults?
i super disappointed in someone whom i've considered to be a great fren. maybe i din know him that well after all. but since i started this in a way, i saw the need to at least attempt to clear the misunderstandings. what would u do if the other party wouldn't listen?
msn din work. in fact, msn kinda revealed his true colours. was that his true colours? petty? sacarstic? immature? childish? or was it just a moment of anger... yes yes yes, he has the right to be angry. but i dun see how this has given him to right to behave the way he has. it's appalling, and very very disappointing. i've pissed about his insensitivity, his immature choice of words. where is the charismatic, gentleman that I know (or I thought I know)?
i wonder whether if he would reply to the email.
and i dunno if i want him to reply at all. if he replies, i do hope to see some sincere apology. but anyway, things will never be the same again.
darn.
what a way to end the term, and after an event which we had worked hard for.
and pple are telling me to be wary and less trusting of others. sigh. why can't pple be more simple?

happy birthday to me!
HEHEHE! I had a wonderful bday!
Was at open house in the morning. Seeing those eager students enquiring about the various courses offered in NTU is quite ... .... nice? And as I was explaining about business and promoting NBS, I realised I do like the school! haha! Although projects are realllllllllllllly tiring and energy sapping, but i think it's quite a good experience!!! (i think i'm saying this now largely due to the fact that i'm graduating soon. like in less than a month's time? LOL) But then.... as I was walking around the booths... i think that engineering, arts, sciences ... all very WOW man... They had visible 'outputs' to display to people... robots, art pieces, interesting gadgets. Damn cool!!! I can't imagine myself being the producer or inventor of such things... Oh wells. haha!
Anyway after open house, I went to JP with Kenny. I got myself a new pair of specs! = ) And a nice new watch = ) We had a nice peranakan dinner (called Spice Peranakan) hidden somewhere in a corner Bukit Timah Shopping Centre... Oh but they are moving already, and i realised i forgot where they said they are moving to. oops! After dinner.. ah. Unfortunately (or fortunately, hehe) it was raining ... so my bday celebration 'party' was held under some hdb block. hohoho! = )
On sunday, I met up with Xiao Wen. We went down to the supreme court to catch the Living Courthouse event. Quite fun!!! And pretty interesting! The ending of the criminal trial enactment of "Who Pushed Humpty?" could have been better though... But anyway, the both of us were taking pictures everywhere we went. I felt like a tourist seriously. We were even willing to queue for an hour just to have that one min of 'fame' - dress up as a judge. We were so excited that we forgot all about the eeky, eerie stories bout kutu? (head lice?) Pics are up in fb!
After spending like close to FIVE hours, we rushed down to funan to grab dinner coz we were famished!!! And then we made our way down to Suntec... We are nuts. Both xw and I dun really have anything to buy, but somehow we feel the need to pop down to the IT fair to squeeze with the crowd. Pok. Ok, at least we din leave the fair empty handed... if not we would be super pok.
YAY. Had my moment of fun and relaxation. Now it's time to cheong my HR project already! Report and presentation due in two weeks, and we haven't type a single word (actually we haven't even exactly discussed) hohoohoh WOOTS! Exciting.
But strangely, I feel fine. Not feeling the nerves, for now at least. And I kinda like this 'yay, relax" feeling. And I like working in this group too. All 'yay, relaxing' pple, but able to get work done. We rock.
haha!
Exams in less than a month! Yellowstone in bout 1 1/2 months!

After spending like close to FIVE hours, we rushed down to funan to grab dinner coz we were famished!!! And then we made our way down to Suntec... We are nuts. Both xw and I dun really have anything to buy, but somehow we feel the need to pop down to the IT fair to squeeze with the crowd. Pok. Ok, at least we din leave the fair empty handed... if not we would be super pok.
YAY. Had my moment of fun and relaxation. Now it's time to cheong my HR project already! Report and presentation due in two weeks, and we haven't type a single word (actually we haven't even exactly discussed) hohoohoh WOOTS! Exciting.
But strangely, I feel fine. Not feeling the nerves, for now at least. And I kinda like this 'yay, relax" feeling. And I like working in this group too. All 'yay, relaxing' pple, but able to get work done. We rock.
haha!
Exams in less than a month! Yellowstone in bout 1 1/2 months!

A WOW, NICE, SLACK DAY
I haven't had the chance to slack THIS MUCH in a long while! I woke up at 11+ this morning... WOW. Other than laundry, I really dunno what I did. Before i know it, it's already 2+ pm. So I went swimming with Chewy. We same for bout half an hour, and then chit chat in the pool for almost 45 mins! NICE. Then i came back, bathe blah blah. Dunno do what.. then it's dinner time! Pig drove teddy and me out to Can9 and we had steamboat dinner. hehe! After dinner come back... dunno do what again, and it's already 1120pm! WOW.
ok actually the 'dunno do what' consists of msn, facebook, email, msn, facebook, email. i.e. slacking. i've got 6 letters to describe the day. S-H-U-A-N-G ! i could have used the day to look through my hrc project or my job search, but i din have the motivation at all. oh wells. soon soon! hehehe
Anyway i realised this week has been kinda like an emotional rollercoaster. (hmm ok sounds a bit odd, but u get the point, ya?) I've experienced stress, elation, excitement, blues, disappointment, delight, joy ... I wonder whether I'm putting my body through tremendous stress by confusing it with my emotions. LOL
Was feeling a little blue on Thurs night... And before I know it, I was beeming with joy, coz my hall 3 softballers sprang me with a beautifully designed handmade cake for me!!! I LOVE IT. Pics are up in facebook :(http://www.facebook.com/wall.php?id=604561077&banter_id=508742420&ref=nf&show_all#/album.php?aid=71424&id=665117378)
Thank ladies! and Ah gong! And especially Porpor, Kexin & Wan Ting! = )
But the night didn't end there. We popped over to Yuling's room to eat cake and chit chat. There were serious moments, happy moments, funny moments, "hai" moments. We chatted till 2am plus... hahaha! NICE.
But okie yay, at least i'm going to bed in a tired, but happy state. = )
Happy Birthday to me! =)

OMG OMG!!!
wheeeeeeeee!
I've finally submitted my FYP = ) = ) = )
As I was looking through the final draft last night (at bout 3am), I was DAMN excited. hehehe It's amazing to look back and realise that wow, we have survived those shitty times. haha! Hope the grades we get would be decent at least.
I never, if i have the choice, ever, want to do a intensive research-related work. YAWN!!!
Anyway the past 2 weeks have been pretty interesting. Despite chiong-ing for fyp and my law assignment, I was occupied by other zhar-pa-lang things! I've attended 2 -3 hall related events (and spent a long time hanging out at those events ... sth which I never really ever do, and would not considering doing, for the past 2 years). It's pretty nice to take a break amidst the 'busy-ness'. But i realised, besides fyp, I've been VERY slack this semester. I love it. haha~!
The past two nights had been rather... interesting .... There's this Team of the Year hall award. For the past two years, I didn't really think much of this award. But our expectations were raised greatly coz we feel that we were deserving of the title this year. So when I found out that my softball team didn't clinch this award, I was disappointed. But I was like "ahh.. ok lor... too bad... nvm lo..." But after talking to my team mates then I realised ok... no, it is indeed quite a BIG deal.
I have to admit that I was influenced by how hard my team took the news. So two nights ago, I got two seniors and we approached the sports sec in the middle of the night at like 12am to talk about this matter... We weren't interested in appealing but we felt that the board owes the team an explanation as to how the decision had been reached.
Ok, so last night, the softball team had a long 1 1/2 'meeting' with the board. And man, i tell u, the words I can think of to describe the meeting are ... emotional, heated, funny (at times.. thanks to por and charmaine), and of course, the nice feeling of warmth and togetherness. I haven't felt this way in awhile... the feeling of 'fighting' for what you want and believe in.
We don't need a Team of the Year title, coz we know we already are. = )

it's week 7!!
this semester is flying past so quickly! i can't believe it's already week 7. which meanns...
FYP is due in less than a month's time! *gasps*
My final paper is in two month's time! *Wheee!*
YELLOWSTONE in 2 1/2 month's time! *WOOOOOOOTS*
the next couple of weeks might be hell, but i'm sure i'll survive = )
i thought that a two-day week is super slack. but i find myself busy with dunno what, coz everyday time flies like nobody's business. so i'm super duper glad i have such wonderful timetable = ) three cheers to my wonderful planning for the past few semesters!!!
i've been working on fyp. a little bit on my hr metrics module. totally not putting much effort into consumer law [i like the subject ok = )]
i 've been attending recruitment talks and applying for jobs, but not aggressively enough.
i've been going out. haha! and ...
oh yeah, i've been dancing! wooots! super amusing that even my dance instructor knows i like to glide. wahahaha!
...
Was reading the CLEO’s magazine that came in some goody bag that Candice brought back… The article was titled “Living by numbers’. So apparently my personal year number is 1. It says
“This year promises an exciting new adventure. It’s a good time to make changes such as starting a diet or even a new study course. If your focus has been on your career, you may get that well-deserved promotion. If you’re attached, it’s a great year to get married. If you’re single, you may meet that special one.”

Haha! I amused.
Coz…
1) Ok maybe I have a reason to start dieting
2) I’m graduating, so no man, I’m not going to start a new study course. Not too keen on studying for now.
3) Ehhh I have been focusing on getting a job, issit counted? So instead of promotion, maybe I’ll get a job = )
4) Hmmmm. Marriage? Wahahahahaha.

Coach Jo hits the big 5-0!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPY Birthday to you Coach Jo!
Coach is 50 this year! Wow. Coach commands respect, and fear (esp when we were muuuuuuuuuuuch younger). She was the one who made us tuck our shirts looking like tooots. She made us shout across the field/lake in china. She made us pitch/throw to the wall. She made us kneel on the ground and bat tyres. She made the juniors eat grass. lol. And I think she wanted to make us run a round for every ball we left behind at the field after training (but somehow we always manage to escape) =) MAN. I miss those days. A lot!
Coach Jo is like our mummy, a mentor, a ... source of inspiration! She has seriously moulded me to be a stronger person - physically and especially mentally. I've probably broken down in front of her a number of times, but after each horrifying .. 'encounter', I bounced back as a stronger Jo! (yeah, we share the same name) *winks*
Thank you Coach, for your guidance and for making me part of the team which I have grown to love dearly. I wish you GOOOOOOOOOOOD HEALTH and happiness. Looking forward to celebrate your 55th and 60th birthdays!
I had a great time on sat = )
It was really good to see everybody again. The best part was playing fast pitch softball with the seniors. The feeling was.... ~wooooooooots! I'm sure the alumni had a fantabulous time. We didn't exactly wanna play fast pitch with the b div initially. But surprisingly it wasn't that bad! (i think the ball was freaking fast though.... after 3 years of freaking slow pitch). There was great fun, enthusiastic cheering, and totally no pressure. haha! And i must say, our alumni pitchers are old gingers! "保刀为老"? hehee. Especially Diana. she's good. I was kinda scared when I was catching her pitch man. *cold sweat*.
Unfortunately I got bored after some time coz of some stufff (ssssssssh.. cannot publicly say), then I decided to discuss pageant stuff with some of the pageant contestants, coming up with the scripts and all. WOOOOTS!!! We brought back the ever-popular softball pageant after EIGHT years. =)
Thanks to all the sporting rabbits and tigers = ) Oh and to a special cow senior: Diana, you are the best! haha All of you made the celebration memorable. YAY!
8 years ago
eight years later.
they've blossomed and are definitely more experienced on stage. *giggles*
THE number 1 team.
Jia you lehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! OIE!!!!!!

THE number 1 team.I still remember that we had a celebration the first time TKGS C Div won East Zone in 2000. And we won the Nationals that year. Then in 2001, the rabbits and dragons retained the C Div title. And in 2003, the rabbits reunited with the Tigers and we won the National Title, another first in TKGS history. We are great, *muacks*
The only teeny weeny regret I had was that I wasn't able to go around to mingle with everybody else. BUT it's ok, coz we are going to meet up again! Love you all loads softbelles! =) Love you too Coach!
Jia you lehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! OIE!!!!!!

Hall 3 WON!!!
YAY we won!
IHG Softball Female Champs!
That make it three years in a row = )
3 cheers to the guys team. Champs too!
Happy! BUT got 遗憾 coz my batting was kanasai today.. No hits at all today =( But the match was really exciting. Playing with Jessica's team was really worthy. Good fight, 15. We shall meet again next year!
Nice to see Naima and Daphne this morning. I miss TK!!! We were happily taking pics. Shall upload some next time!
After the photo taking, hip hip hurrays and cheers... reality slowly sank in and I kinda feel a bit... urghhh... Not so super duper happy. I've enjoyed playing in hall all these years coz it's relaxing. Trainings are fun and slack. The girls are chatty and loud, and so full-of-sh*t.
I guess this is what growing up is about... when all of us slowly leave school and join the work force. No more of such activities. No more smelly left hands. No more hall orientation. No more bouncing around each other's room to chit chat. No more pouncing onto Por Por's bed to wake her up in the morning. No more cheering for each other during competitions. No more late night suppers. No more cooking and messing up the pantry. No more stocking up of the fridge every weekend. No more singing songs in the room with roomy (eh pig. we haven't k in awhile mans.) No more lazing around in the lounge. No more fast-transfer of movies and tv serials!!! haha
bleah. That's why last semester must enjoy! So far so good! I went for Midnight Fiesta with hall few weeks back. I've been hopping around rooms to socialise and play mj/cards. We also lau-ed yusheng last night...
Ah. With IH softball over... Will I be less busy? Can i choose to be less busy?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above convo is very mild already. For those who can't stand the mushiness, don't read on. Coz I'm dedicating the entry below to my one and only Tai Hou. hahahaha!
Dear Darling!
Although we have been separated physically for years, we still have THAT special connection every single time we engage in cyber ... ... ... flirting? I'm sure you feel that way too coz I sense your enthusiastic and warm reciprocation. Every word you utter makes me "hold my tummy and laugh big big" (i.e. 捧腹大笑). You told me I had that influence on you too. Don't worry. If you have wrinkles, I will still be by your side. (wahahhahaa!)
I miss the good old days when I was still your faithful servant in the Xiao family. Your gesture of promoting me to an Ah Ge despite my complexion and urmm... handicap, means a lot to me. Thank you my darling.
Loves,
from your ever faithful FeiZhouWuLan

2009
alamak! i'm really lagging! Shall attempt to cut the long story short...
Dec:
1. i went desaru cycling! tiring and sore, aching butts! journey wasn't too long, but the uphills are really disgustingly strenuous.
but overall, it was quite a nice, decent trip = ) yum yum, i love the seafood. we dropped by the ostrich farm, fruit farm, and the beach... pity there wasn't much time to use the resort's facilities. i should go back to the pulai resort when i wan my short break next time! but this time, by car/taxi and not by bike man. haha!
2. i had a great time spending my new year's eve with my rabbits. we went to ecp lagoon for dinner. played a bit of sparkles. counted down at the bus-stop while sending jessica off... and then played this card game at my place. = ) love you guys!
Jan: a SERIES of unfortunate events.
Gosh i can't believe my luck. But it's a case of... "the luck within the unluckiness"
1. On day one of 2009, my trusty old lappie decided to be a bit playful... hung my com everytime i opened my IE. Days later, it died completely = ( LUCKILY i backup the more impt stuff the night before. *phew* I can't imagine losing my FYP files. *shivers*
2. Carelessly left my N73 by the side pocket of my backpack. Felt a slight tug, and poof, gone!!! I can so slap the pickpocket and jab into his *uh hum*... no more Fathers' Day. (i'm assuming the pickpocket was a male. haha) Sorry, angry girl = violent girl. ROAR. haha LUCKILY i haven't switched to my new Nokia 6500 slide yet.

Dec:
1. i went desaru cycling! tiring and sore, aching butts! journey wasn't too long, but the uphills are really disgustingly strenuous.
but overall, it was quite a nice, decent trip = ) yum yum, i love the seafood. we dropped by the ostrich farm, fruit farm, and the beach... pity there wasn't much time to use the resort's facilities. i should go back to the pulai resort when i wan my short break next time! but this time, by car/taxi and not by bike man. haha!
2. i had a great time spending my new year's eve with my rabbits. we went to ecp lagoon for dinner. played a bit of sparkles. counted down at the bus-stop while sending jessica off... and then played this card game at my place. = ) love you guys!
Jan: a SERIES of unfortunate events.
Gosh i can't believe my luck. But it's a case of... "the luck within the unluckiness"
1. On day one of 2009, my trusty old lappie decided to be a bit playful... hung my com everytime i opened my IE. Days later, it died completely = ( LUCKILY i backup the more impt stuff the night before. *phew* I can't imagine losing my FYP files. *shivers*
2. Carelessly left my N73 by the side pocket of my backpack. Felt a slight tug, and poof, gone!!! I can so slap the pickpocket and jab into his *uh hum*... no more Fathers' Day. (i'm assuming the pickpocket was a male. haha) Sorry, angry girl = violent girl. ROAR. haha LUCKILY i haven't switched to my new Nokia 6500 slide yet. Coz i brought by N73 to Desaru and left the new phone in my Dad's car to safekeep. *phew* ok Dun worry bout my violent tendencies, i'm over it = ) But still secretly cursing that idiot.
