It's been a while since the last updated entry. Even it is the 2 weeks term break, have no idea why still busy with stuff. Working 3 days a week during the term break is already enough coz' feel damn tired after that, den most probably, will sleep until 11 plus in the morning next day. Though there are quite alot of things that need to be updated, I'm quite lazy to write all the stuff.
Juz feel dat social life seems to be getting out of hand. I feel like with the proceeding years, my interaction skills juz getting suckier. Perhaps is becoz juz dun wanna entertain people ba. Other factor may be due to seeing lots of "real" faces. To speak of close friends that I'm able to pour out my woes to, only a minority, can be counted within one hand.
Another thing is that, seems to be getting out of touch with the news. Like the latest news on how Dulai used the donation money for other purposes, and the current situtation of the places where tsunami strucked last year. Damn! I'm getting no life! This sux!

Mean
Did something considered mean last night, but as compared to that person, I ain't dat mean. I send an email to one of my module group members, not becoz I dun like her, but becoz' she didn't bother to help out in the assignment when everyone was equally busy as well. She did not even take the time off to go look what info that we need, neither did she took the initiative to search for the info. This is what I wrote to her:
You claim that "we" didn't give you a chance to help in the ERA assignment, have you ever think that you should take the initiative to research on the information first, filter out the necessary points and send it to us? It is not that we didn't write out the questions or the information that "we" are to find. "We" did. "We" wrote the questions on what to find and posted on TikiWiki and I believed Nast has told you that by calling you up. You told me before you can't access TikiWiki at home, but I remembered you could access in school. Have you login to see what's posted there? If you did, I believe you know what to find. In that case, shouldn't you take the initiative to search for the info and send us? Instead, we have to ask you. And you still SMS me whether we need help. I really did not know how to answer you that and again you asked me in class do we need help. Again, I really don't wish to answer you that for I'm sick of it.
You are not the only person who is busy with assignments. Has it come across your mind, "we" too, have assignments? "We" too, are busy with other stuff? You're not the only one who's working (if I remember correctly that you're working). I'm also working, and I also have to juggle between work and studies. Do you know that because of the heavy workload that "we" are carrying, I'm neglecting my other modules. I do not have enough time to study CP or help out alot in IC. Why? Have you thought of that before? Don't try being the victim that here I am scolding you. You can declare to the world I'm mean, but have you ever think that, who's the mean one? Do you know that one semester, I did a group project with you as well? Did you know that because of you, not taking the initiative, that I was under alot of stress and really broke down? That would only be my first and last time I would break down in school for I know it ain't worth it.
And I thought that you've changed for the better but who knows? I don't wanna continue anymore but pls try to think of your actions clearly.
Have you ever wondered who the "we" are? The "we" only refers to Nast and me, yes, only Nast and me, the 2 of us. Ever wondered why only "we"? That's because not only you, ******* (censored to protect identity of the person) also never helped out. As for the reason to why she did not help out, I do not want to mention much. Pls reflect on your actions first before start saying anything. If you wanna hate me, go ahead. I don't care anymore rather than to stress on any other irrelevant stuff anymore.

母老虎放假
Today was posted to J8 to work afternoon shift. Last week already knew CY a.k.a tigress would be on leave this week, so there wasn't "sianz" mood to see her face. Realised that without the tigress' presence, everyone was quite relaxed and joked more. At least, won't feel the tension in the air. Why? Coz when the tigress is around, no one really dared to joke or talked much for her temper was unpredictable. It was just like a time-ticking bomb, ready to explode anytime, except that this one no matter explode how much will still keep exploding. No end to it, no expiry date and no one can possibly de-fuse this bomb.
Anyway, helped to pack the store's display again. Jayce said there's a reason why they post me to work at J8 once a week: to pack the store. -_- The fact is that I can't stand the sight of having multiple displays, making it cluttered and tight and which customer will want to go browse through a cluttered mess of display? Told Jayce dozen times about the multiple displays le but it seems that it doesn't work. Dunno who's the one who's lazy to put or pack back the apparels after letting the customer to try or whatsoever. If I find out, I'm going to nag at the person for sure. Going to slp soon, tml working morning shift.... zzzzzz..................

闲聊2
It’s typical of humans. They tend to regret only after what’s been taken away from them or lost it. It’s a contradiction but it’s true. Cherishing only what’s been lost. Why don’t people cherish in the first place? Reason? Simple! People take things for granted. People don’t give a damn when people they cherish when they’re around. That is because they are always there and people would never expect to lose them someday. Never! People just simply think that they would always be around, 24/7, monthly, yearly.
Only when people lost them, they started to realize it’s gone. The people they cherish about would never come back. This is when people tried their best to make them come back, although it’s impossible. Often, it’s stupid mistakes that cause people to lose the ones they love, cherish, care about. Once lost, people can never get them back. If they get them back, it would never be the same again, for the hurt or damage had been done.
To let people realize the ones they cherish now, would proved to be a difficult task for one never look around or stop to think about how their loved ones feel. When the ones they cherish try to tell them the feelings/emotions, people do not care. And because of that, the cherished ones would be deeply/greatly hurt, physically or emotionally.
In order not to regret, people, please make a point on trying to understand what your loved ones are feeling now. Do your actions or words cause them pain? If do, how can you mend the pain? Try to salvage while you still can. Do not only regret when you lost them.
There's actually 2 messages I want to bring it out to 2 people.... but have no guts to tell 1 of them... One I've already told long ago and have seeked forgiveness, and forgiveness is given to me. The other... is not that I seeked forgiveness but the person seeked forgiveness from me. I've long forgiven the person but it seems that the person is unable to put it down. If you happen to read this, you know whom I'm referring to. Do not say sorry anymore coz it's over. Let bygones be bygones. Emotions, feelings, scars may be there but just let it be memories, for "what's done cannot be undone". Treasure the one who's right beside you now. Do not regret it again.
Heaven decides fate and if fate says it's not meant to be.
We can't defy it no matter how much we wish to.
Memories will linger on and perhaps, that's the way it is.
A special someone, a special feeling.
A special place in my heart, that's where you'll be.
Regrets, it may be
Forgiveness, that's what we seek
Sorry, is what we want to say
That's how life is
Let regrets be lessons and memories
Forgiveness is long forgave
Needless to say sorry, for we're forgave
Let bygones be bygones
Keep the memories in our heart
And live life to fullest

ICT Superstar audition
Today was 'D-day'! Yeah, my audition was held today. Initially, I had planned to sing Cyndi's “爱的天国” as stated in my previous blog entry. However, last minute, I changed to JJ's “木乃伊”, coz my voice was not fully opened. How to fully open voice when people keep walking past outside the com lab I was training in? BJ and Eve were there as well for they helped to give comments about my singing.
6.20pm reached and we went down to e-Garage where the audition was held. There were lots of people over there and indeed, one of the judges was Patricia. Upon seeing other people having their audition, I started to feel nervous and there were butterflies in my stomach. After reporting to them and going in to wait for my turn, I found out that Cynthia was before me. Again, I felt stressed coz I heard Desmond said before that Cynthia was a good singer and Eve also said that to me. I was now blaming on my luck.
Finally, it was my turn. I sang, with trembling voice. Comments were given. They told me that some of my pitches were 'piaoing' but they were sure that I could correct it myself with more practise. There was the negative side. Positive? They said I was able to follow the tempo for tempo in fast song is vital and I was able to follow it. In addition, they also said I sound confident. "Huh? I sound confident? I sang with trembling voice how can I sound confident? -_-"' " Then Patricia commented that I was able to project my voice. Hmm....good or bad?
After I came out, one of the ICT student council people asked me the same question that he asked every participants: "Would you mind if we put the recordings of your audition on the finals?" I nodded my head vigourously and the person seemed abit 为难。 I dun care bout it but I juz dun want it to come out. Be it good or bad, I juz dun want it to come out. Results would be emailed to me tml. That's what they say. Tml would be BJ and JW's turn. Best of luck to them!

Audition tml!!!
Great! I joined ICT Superstar for fun and now I'm feeling stress, nervous, freaked out. Audition is tml and I'm really freaking out! WTH! Fun turned out to be stress, I'm starting to have some regrets.... Darn! Now writing blog to de-stress!! HELP!!!
Eve just finished sending me the chalet photos we took during the chalet after attachment this year, which was around beginning of September. Now I realise why I really hate to take photos. Coz I looked chubby in photos + I ain't photogenic, which sux big time. However, I like some of the photos and as to both Eve's and Candice's liking, I also like the group photo the best.

It seems that the concoction of vodka+ice-cream soda contains too much % of vodka that Candice can't take it.
Cheers!!!

ICT Superstar
Today is the second week of school and I'm still as tired as ever. Most probably is becoz these few days I haven't been getting enough sleep and hence, the reason for my tiredness. Even fell asleep during CP lect but dunno why I still can able to hear some parts of the lect. Abit here and there ba... Was then told next week CP lect will have our test. Sianz.... Only 3rd week got test le... Anyway, today AVFE, we were told to get prepared for Assignment 1, which was to find sounscape for a picture. Got lotsa ideas but dunno where to start from. And also, dun haf Adobe Premiere Pro so abit hard to experiment with it. Muz search for the cd software but seems that most of the pirated CD shops have been either raided by the police or they have closed down. So, it's rather hard to find one now. Den where can I find the software?????
Oh ya, after AVFE prac and tut, BJ, JW and me went to sign up for ICT Superstar. Abit tio shocked coz:
1) Saw Cynthia's name on the list
2) Registration fee is $3 but the "attractive prize" is CASH-voucher
3) Audition is coming Thurs or Fri
WTF!!! Thought audition would be next week... Siao la.... So rush... so hard to prepare sia.... Anyway I decided le, audition going to sing Cyndi de “爱的天国”。Hmm..... there's also a rumour saying that Patricia would be one of the judges. I hear le like "Huh? Lydat v weird leh.... One of the judge is my friend... 怪怪的".
Tml lesson starts at 2pm, but think will go school early to configure the necessary stuff for using campus wirless network. Sleeping soon....v tired....

Deprivation of sleep
For consecutive 3 days, 11pm was the time that I went home from the shop. Thursday and Friday was working at Suntec and Saturday was working at J8. For Thurs and Fri, reached home at only 12am and only slept for 4 hrs on Fri morning for I had lessons at 8am. Then after lessons, went to work so no time to rest sia.
Reason why shop close so late? Becoz sales kena tio stuck at a figure that cannot close shop de... Den drag till 10.30pm den close shop coz bo bian liao. Haiz...now got time to enter an entry is becoz my hair isn't dried yet and will be working afternoon shift today so, can sleep longer la. Anyway, Saturday quite sianz coz' posted to J8 and working full shift. It means that I was to close shop with CY. However, I'm not alone as I still got Jayce and Jordan to “陪我在地狱”。 Whaha..... I'm so bad... =p
Anyway, CY was late for her shift. She was working afternoon shift and supposed to report work at 1.30pm but she SMS Jayce that she would be late (Jayce and I predicted it as well). Then we took a bet, guessing the time she would be arriving. At first, I guessed 1.45pm and Jayce guessd 1.50pm. But still when the time was reached, she still did not arrive. Hence we bet again, and this time, Jayce guessed 2pm and I guessed 2.10pm. In the end, Jayce won as he was the nearest. She reached at 1.55pm. Damn late sia!!!
Kind of getting used to what she does le. Like coming late for work, go toilet break for nearly 15-20mins. In addition, say go look around, 探探competitor的市场, etc., den can go for another 20mins or so. As long as she doesn't bother me, I dun give a hoot about it for I'm only posted to there once a week (Enough liao le lor. Desmond still say I like going J8 work. Pls leh, ma chiam I wan lydat. If can choose, I also dun wan lor!).
Hair faster dry ba.... I v sleepy le.... Deprivation of sleep + rest.... Now v tired.......Hope later the shop wun close too late. I wan go home early.... Next day still got school.... >.<

Hence we bet again, and this time, Jayce guessed 2pm and I guessed 2.10pm. In the end, Jayce won as he was the nearest. She reached at 1.55pm. Damn late sia!!!
Kind of getting used to what she does le. Like coming late for work, go toilet break for nearly 15-20mins. In addition, say go look around, 探探competitor的市场, etc., den can go for another 20mins or so. As long as she doesn't bother me, I dun give a hoot about it for I'm only posted to there once a week (Enough liao le lor. Desmond still say I like going J8 work. Pls leh, ma chiam I wan lydat. If can choose, I also dun wan lor!).
Hair faster dry ba.... I v sleepy le.... Deprivation of sleep + rest.... Now v tired.......Hope later the shop wun close too late. I wan go home early.... Next day still got school.... >.<

Yesterday went to AMK K-Box with BJ. $19 per person for 5 hrs. Sang till almost breathless. Upon reaching home, JW, GJ and BJ started to talk about ICT Superstar and asking each other whether to join anot. If join, wat song to sing. For me, got 4 songs can consider ba: 爱的天国 by 王心凌，长相思 by S.H.E，寓言 by 张韶涵 or 倒带 by 蔡依琳。

School re-open
Finally, after the sem 5 attachment and the 2 months holidays, it's back to school again! Somehow, I do miss the school for during the attachment period, I kind of missed school days, like can slack, the budget canteen food. This time, the timetable for the whole class was different. Each of us have a different timetable each for not all of us chose the same electives. Some classes may be the same, but not all. However, I feel so foreign when came back to school. Like I have been out for so long and everything, including the building seems so foreign and strange. More new faces were seen (Year Ones) and of course, familiar faces, friends and some faces that you do not wish to see.
After school, went with BJ to J8 to watch "Flighplan" starring Jodie Foster. Actually, I already wanted to go J8 Fila to get back my shirt which I accidentally left it yesterday. Left hurriedly from J8 to Suntec when Ivy paged me back to help them out yesterday. (They were lacking of help.) Anyway, we bought the 7.10pm show. After finish watching the show, I find that there sre some loopholes and some scenes that have yet to be explained.
"Flighplan" is actullay about a woman, Kyle Pratt, along with her daughter, Julie Pratt, moving back to New York with Kyle's parents after her husband died from a fall. They were planning to bury her husband in New York. However, on the filght back, it seemed that Julie mysteriously went missing and Kyle frantically searched for her daughter. She told the flight crew that her daughter was abducted and wanted to search every inch of the plane. She used to be an engineer that built the plane.
But it seems that none of the crew had any faintest idea of seeing her daughter and that there were no records of her daughter boarding the flight. Hence, she began the search for her daughter. Ending turned out unexpectedly and alot of things weren't explained and were just brought over.
Overall: 3 ticks

Fila Suntec closing down???
Before Alvin left Fila, heard him told us (some of the people in Suntec) that Fila Suntec is closing down. Reason is because the landlord is raising the rental lease and that Fila don't want to pay a higher price for the rental lease hence, decided to perhaps, close down. However, at that time, it was uncertain however, Jayce told me again that it would be closing down. It's just a matter of time.
If Fila Suntec is closing down, I would feel damn sad. This is because the first time when I went in Fila to work, which was last year end of October, I was posted to Suntec le. Coz at that time I was still a newbie, I was permanently stationed there. Previously, the 2 in-charges were Ivy and Gladys, then changed to Sham and Wencong, and changed to Wencong and Alvin and now, Wencong and Estee(?? not confirmed yet). Have seen the changes, re-shufflements and knew every corner of the shop. If it were to close down, I would never be able to work in that shop again and would remain ad memories. Although I may leave Fila someday to work for another job, but I still know that it exists and that I can go back anytime to visit.
After working several jobs, this is first time I enjoyed working with my colleagues. Mostly perhaps is because, we are of around the same age and that communication would not pose a problem. And Fila Suntec is the shop that taught me alot of things I need to know working in Fila.
Conclusion: Hope that Fila Suntec would not close down and that the landlord can negotiate the rental lease!!!

Updates
21st Oct 2005, Friday
Today was the day I'm supposed to choose my IS electives timeslots. My enrolment appointment was 8am to 9.30am. Waking up at 7.45am, I was hoping to choose the most suitable timeslots, from 8-12 (so I can work after that) asap, hence I can go back to sleep for I was working afternoon shift at Suntec. However, with stupid, bloody, asshole, fucking, idiotic school server, my dreams were dashed and I had to enlist the help of JW to help me enrol into the timeslots. What was worse was that we were told that we can choose 1 elective from alot of electives but what were we given? Everything? Hell, NO! We were given only some stupid IS electives with a stupid fucking timeslot of 1-3pm! WTH! In the end, chose an IS elective 8-10am, "Living in Information Era". Due to the fact that I'm pissed by the server, lousy coding of the website, lack of sleep, I was moody for the entire day.
To hell with the school server!!! BURN!! BURN THE SCHOOL! DESTROY!!!
22nd October 2005, Saturday
Haven't totally recovered from my mood and I was assigned to work at J8. And yes, working with CY. Because of my mood yesterday, I definitely, am not amused by some childish acts of hers. Instead, I got only 1 reaction : -_-
Anyway, my old injury acted up again and I was in a pain the whole day. The ankle guard seems of no use and at times, have to walk 一拐一拐.... Haiz.... Think tml really no choice but have to Chinatown to 推 my leg le.... T_T

重返“老家”
Finally for this week, I'm assigned back to my "old home" - Suntec. Really felt the most ease when I'm working in Suntec, most probably is because I've worked there for long. Anyway, it feels abit strange without Alvin's presence, like when I went back to Suntec work without Sham's presence. You know that they have left the company but still, feels abit strange. For sure is that, not many people (full-timers + part-timers) can stay in Fila for long.
Anyway, when I went back on Tuesday, I saw the new MT(Management Trainee) from Wisma - Estee. For this week, she was supposed to help us out first before the big shuffle takes place next week. Upon hearing the big shuffle, feel so sianz coz dunno who will be coming over Suntec and how will the shuffle be. I guess after the shuffle, everyone will feel strange bah.
Always saw the name "Jazreen" on the duty roster but I never got the chance to work with her until Wednesday. I told her that and she said the same thing to me. Bo bian, ever since came back to Fila, I have been “流浪ing”, always "moving house". Only this week then do I have the chance to settle down. Okay lah, one day is working at J8 lah but better than nothing ma. But I guess next week, confirm will be “流浪ing” again, for Jo and Ivy will be leaving by end of this week. Juz pls dun assign me to work with CY lah! Thank you very much!

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children
Finally, after getting the codec from Melvin, I was able to watch "FF VII - AC".
"Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children" is definitely better than the movie "Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within". Characters animated are better and of course, storyline is more related to Final Fantasy series. With the original music taken from the FF series, plus the sound effects, animation, it couldn't have been better. Many FF fans have been waiting for this movie ever since the trailer was shown. Even though if you are not a FF fan, this movie would keep you glued to the edge of the seat until the whole movie is over.
Seriously, I'm not joking. Square-Enix has done it again, with better animations of the character, making them more realistic with each FF series. You can say this is the power of technology! Anyway, it wouldn't be nice if the story plot is said hence, pls go watch the movie yourself. If you are not sure of it, here is the link that enables you to watch the trailer: www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac
Below are some screenshots and wallpapers taken from the official website:

End of contract
Today and tomorrow. 2 off-days consecutively. Guess Fila is now really overflowing with part-timers that scheduling the duty roster proved to be a difficult task. Coming week, there's also 3 off-days for me so I guess, this means less income.

Work at OG Orchard Point
Was working at OG Orchard Point with Ivy Tan. Supposed to meet her at the staff entrance at 10.30am but she was late abit. Still, the security at OG was tight and the security checked our jackets before going on the sales floor as well as, stepping out of the sales floor. That's OG ba.
OG Saturday was quite empty, as compared to other shopping malls. Not many customers can be seen or perhaps, they were at other floors? Oh ya, finally saw the promoter for "b.u.m. equipment". Guess there'll only be promoters during weekends ba. The promoter was a young lady, perhaps around 20s. Then this time, I saw that Levi's had 2 promoters instead of the usual 1 promoter. Both promoters were guys and one of them looked quite cute. Lolx! Think I'm over a bit out the age to say that a guy is cute ba... Look, I'm almost stepping into 21 le and can't possibly still behave like a teenager. Now I am a young adult. =)
Dinner with Carleen
Had dinner with Carleen after my work, where I was dismissed at 7pm. She brought 2 of her sec school friends along as well, however, I have met them before. Still, I felt like an outsider bah coz no matter what it is, the 3 of them have known each other for ages so, there's a gap in the communication part. Sighz...plus dun have much chance to really chat with Carleen for firstly, it was 7 plus when we met up. Second, her friends were tired and wanted to go home and rest and hence, I figured that Carleen would be tired as well. So I asked her to go back with her friends, resulting in didn't have chance to really chat with her.
16th Oct 2005, Sunday
Heard that today will be Alvin's last day at Fila. His contract is ending on 21st Oct, same dates with Ivy Tan and Jo and 3 of them are not continuing any more. Anyway, from tomorrow onwards, he'll be clearing his leave and that extend to the end date of the contract. Sad sia to hear that he, Jo and Uvy will be leaving soon. All 3 of them are quite fun to work with and with them leaving, Suntec will need another in-charge. That goes the same for Queensway. In addition, the outlet at Marina Square would be opening soon which means they need more in-charges le. Rumour said that CY (Jia Yi a.k.a Chia Yee a.k.a CY) would be coming over to Suntec to take over Alvin and work with Wencong. Jia laht! When Louis, Xiao Lin and I heard that, our first reaction was we wanted to quit le, or maybe change to another outlet to work. CY leh! Confirm sales can't climb lor plus have to face a temperamental person is tiring. And I also got the feeling if she really do come to Suntec, I'll quarrel with her one day. Some of her actions really cannot be condoned. Sighz...
Rumours also said that when the outlet at Marina Square is opened, most probably either Steven or Kok Kok will go ther to be the in-charge. In addition, there'll also be a new batch of management trainees wor. Oh ya, then Wencong told me on Friday that we, part-timers would also have to go for training like the full-timers. The company want us to know and understand better of our produtcs. However, the old part-timers will not go first. They'll train the new part-timers first. Siao lor... Part-timers also muz go training... -_-"'
Lastly, juz wish that Jo, Ivy and Alvin would have good prospects in their future job ba... Good luck guys!

闲聊
Juz read one my friend's blog, which I haven't been contacting for a long time ever since the class chalet. After reading, it kind of cause my brain juice to blend awhile and thoughts are overflowing right now. My big theory or thesis on life is starting again but I ain't going to say anything on life. I know I'm naggy but hey, I'm juz naggy about some things. That's my character. I know the cons of my character and there are several to it. Trying to change however, sometimes, it juz came back unknowingly.
I admit that I'm tactful, and may be tactful at the wrong times. However, I do think about things before saying. It's juz that when my mind is in a rage or in total confusion, I may juz blabber something hurtful. Sorry to the people that I've said hurtful things to you. Pls do correct me or tell me if I have say something bad.
Another con of my character is my nagginess. Alot of people have told me that I'm naggy. I know that and I know alot of people dun like me to be naggy. However, my mind is made in a weird and strange way that caused my thoughts and experience to be formulated in a strange way. I've seen alot of happenings around me and experienced a few things that may caused me to think more about certain things. Because of that, when I see my friends (no pointing any directions to any one) doing something that I may have done it before (something = bad in this case), I'll try to them about it. If they are not able to listen for the first time, I may repeat several times till they really get sick of it. Sorry for my nagginess.
Pls do understand me that I'm not born smart. I worked hard to achieve what my results. If I'm smart, I would have now be in University and would not have so much worries to my parents. If I'm smart, I wouldn't have always be compared to my elder bro (who's really smart) or people aorund me. I have always been compared ever since young, and intellectually, I'm not smart. This always results that I have to work double hard in order to achieve. So pls, I do not want to be said things like "Aiya, you so smart, no need study also can pass", or "You confirm can score high grades la...no need so pia". I'm not smart!

Sianz again
Yes, today is my off-day again hence, the reason why I can blog again. Sighz... Hope Ivy can plan better roster next time. I wan earn more $$$$! I'm B-R-O-K-E!!!
Today met up BJ for lunch and went to her house for KTV session. Yes, as in Karaoke session! Haha... It's just a few Karaoke dvds and vcds, S.H.E, JJ and 5566 1st album only de. Our stamina couldn't last for long though due to the humid, hot weather and that there was no air-con. In the end, we spend the rest of the time watching S.H.E's Taiwan concert DVD. I was rather amazed at S.H.E's stamina and being able to project their voice out loud at an outdoor concert. After that, met up Mum and Dad for dinner at J8 to eat Teppanyaki. Attitude of the person sucks and food was average only. I definitely would not recommend to my friends.
Oh ya, my ankle hurting again. Old injury acting up again and this morning was damn jia laht. Really become "bai ka"... Have to go 推拿 my ankle some time le.... Or else, think will take quite a while to recover... T_T

More injuries
Lately have more time to update blog entry coz' got more off-days. I consider it bad coz' I can't earn more money. Sighz! It's a bad thing especially when I'm quite broke. Anyway, I feel that J8 克 me coz' whenever I go there work, I sure kena injuries. This time is 3 injuries instead of once and finally, I realised why some people dun wanna work with Jiayi le.
First of all, I was supposed to work at J8 at 12pm today, and I could actually leave home at a later time, around 11.30am. However, at 11.15am, Wencong called me to tell me that Jiayi call him, to tell hom to call me to go take the signage at Suntec. I was like "Huh? Why suddenly then tell me?" Wencong also said tried to reach Suntec around 11 plus or around 12 noon. I was like "Damn! Now 11.15 le! If go down still have to wait for bus, den confirm can't make it by 12 noon de ma." So no choice, I rushed to Suntec asap and thank goodness, I was able to make it by 12 noon. From there, Wencong told me that I had to go to PS to take the bigger signage as well. "....... very fun izzit? Go Suntec le, and have to make a U-turn back to PS. Never say in the first place. Waste my trip fare...." Again, travelled to PS to take the signage and some transferred polo-tees from HBF that are to be transferred to J8.
By the time I reached J8, I was perspiring all over and was already 1pm. Den came the new horoscope tees, sandals, HK female tennis apparels, promo shorts, international bags and took a long time to finish unpacking the stuff. Because of that, incurred a cut on my finger by the sharp blade of the scissors. Incurred another cut on my elbow from the corner of the glass pane of the shelf when trying to avoid a customer while unpacking the promo shorts. After that, while trying to avoid another customer from banging into the stuff, hit my hand against the side of another glass pane and incurred a bruise. Accident-prone sia....
However, some stuff that Jiayi did today, I kind of disgree with her actions. However, I'm not able to voice it out, or should I say better not to voice it out if I dun wanna have conflicts. Some things are like common sense but her stubborness just pushed on the way. I see le, I really shake my head. At that point, I realised why some people dun like to work with her. Sighz...
Anyway, tml off-day again and Mum says wan go out so, going out tml. To where, I dunno... Darn... Now having a terrible headache and is killing me... Need to rest early.....
First of all, I was supposed to work at J8 at 12pm today, and I could actually leave home at a later time, around 11.30am. However, at 11.15am, Wencong called me to tell me that Jiayi call him, to tell hom to call me to go take the signage at Suntec. I was like "Huh? Why suddenly then tell me?" Wencong also said tried to reach Suntec around 11 plus or around 12 noon. I was like "Damn! Now 11.15 le! If go down still have to wait for bus, den confirm can't make it by 12 noon de ma." So no choice, I rushed to Suntec asap and thank goodness, I was able to make it by 12 noon. From there, Wencong told me that I had to go to PS to take the bigger signage as well. "....... very fun izzit? Go Suntec le, and have to make a U-turn back to PS. Never say in the first place. Waste my trip fare...." Again, travelled to PS to take the signage and some transferred polo-tees from HBF that are to be transferred to J8.
By the time I reached J8, I was perspiring all over and was already 1pm. Den came the new horoscope tees, sandals, HK female tennis apparels, promo shorts, international bags and took a long time to finish unpacking the stuff. Because of that, incurred a cut on my finger by the sharp blade of the scissors. Incurred another cut on my elbow from the corner of the glass pane of the shelf when trying to avoid a customer while unpacking the promo shorts. After that, while trying to avoid another customer from banging into the stuff, hit my hand against the side of another glass pane and incurred a bruise. Accident-prone sia....

Madness duty roster
Received my duty roster from Alvin when I was watching latest 2 episodes, episodes 52 and 53 of Bleach. When I saw the roster, I was like "WTF! What kind of roster is that?" You'll understand what I meant by that.
Monday - J8: 12-8
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - PS:Afternoon
Thursday - Off
Friday - Suntec: Afternoon
Saturday - OG:Morning
Sunday - Off
Now, do you understand why I say madness roster? It seems that Fila is now overflowing with part-timers as TP, NYP, NP and SP are having school holidays, and most of the part-timers have come back to work, thus the result of the roster. If that is the case, then why in first place Fila wants to hire more people? -_-'"
Sianz...tml working at J8 and I guess I'll be working with Jiayi for definite. Haiz.... Juz one thing that I muz always take heed: 井水不犯河水

Thoughts....
Heard something shocking and unexpected matter from my friend yesterday night, which till now, I find it hard to accept. It set me thinking about lots of stuff. Even though I do think about those stuff at times, however, this really set me understanding totally how life is precious and that it is as fragile as a leaf. No one can predict what will happen next in our life.
Once we are born into this world, we are actually walking towards death. If ask a person if he/she is afraid of dying, and the person says 'No', the person is definitely lying. Everyone's afraid of death, and hence, insurance company gets the most benefit. Death happens to eveyone, except that it's just a matter of when and where. To me, it doesn't matter how long I can live, it matters that what I have done to the people around me, those I cared about, what I have achieved and that I have live life to the fullest.
The question comes in again on the definition of "fullest". What do we really mean by "fullest"? Every time we say "live life to the fullest", but what do we exactly mean by that? How you define "fullest"? The contribution to society? Contribution to family, loved ones? Achievements? Tried all the best food in the world? I guess no one can really answer it for there is no definite answer. To each of his own, it's a different meaning. I feel that no one can answer that definitely and with decisively, until when one is approaching the limit. However, when that happens, most people will start to have lots of regrets...
Life is contradicting, confusing and unexpected.

Off
Today was my off-day. Slept till 11am and it's been a long time since I ever slept till so 'shuang'. Nice!! Anyway, went out with Mum and Aunt today. Purpose was to buy a 'Hi' card for Aunt and I to get one more pair of jeans.
Met up with Aunt at Taka’s “Crystal Jade Kitchen” to have lunch. It’s been a long time since I ever eat dim sum and boy, was it good to have dim sum again. ^_^
After that, went to look for my jeans and bought one at Giordano for $49. The material was lycra and was a hip-ster. Feels comfortable when wearing it. Next, went to Kinokuniya to buy comic books. Bought “Mahou Sensei Negima” book 11 and “Inuyasha” book 41. Mum bought her idol, Bae Yong Jun’s some sort of pictorial book.
As Mum couldn’t find the U-magazine and I-weekly (okay, both covers are Bae Yong Jun) in Taka’s Kino, we went to Bugis Kino. Buy le den went back home and found the NP result slip lying at home, waiting for me. To speak the truth, I find it rather nervous to open it coz’ I dunno how good/bad I fair. Thank goodness, I scored a ‘B’ for my IP. Still okay la…. Anyway, tml going back to work again and this time, is working at Queensway again. Sianz…

Tired; not enough sleep; multiple injuries
Have been busy and tired throughout the entire week and hence, no time to really go update my blog. For the sake of earning money, have no choice but to work harder and sacrifice a bit of resting time. Due to this, the dark circles under my eyes are getting more and more worse and I guess any cream that I applied now would be futile. Don't really feel like updating the whole week for it'll take one whole day for me to complete all of the entries (yeah, yeah... too much crap...).
Anyway, incurred multiple injuries from work and all come from working in different outlets. A bump on my forehead was incurred from J8. Bruise on my left upper arm was gotten from Queensway. 2 visible cuts on my hands from Suntec and other mulitple cuts and scratches from these 3 outlets, plus PS. Die... More and more scars... The bump on my forehead still hurts, as well as the bruise... Sighz....
So dead tired now.. Dun feel like typing any more and dun feel like doing any other stuff... Juz feel like slacking...

"神话"
Supposed to meet BJ at Suntec Convention Hall at 1.45pm to go to Marina K-Box for a KTV session. However, went to Suntec earlier to collect my contact lens. It's been 2 years since I wore contact lens and putting them on proved to be a difficult task. With much effort (esp. for my right eye), I finally managed to put them on. Felt giddy at first, coz can't get used to changing from spectacles to contact lens. After that, I proceed to meet BJ, and as usual, she was late again.
After the KTV session, we met up with Hosea to watch Jackie Chan's new movie, "The Myth"(“神话”). The show also starred Korean actress, Kim Hee Sun; Hong Kong best actor, Tony Leong Kar Fai; India famous actress Malika Sherawat. Although there were many action scenes and hilarious scenes, I find that it is different from the past Jackie Chan's movies. With it, it carries a bit of China Qin Dynasty history, as well as the culture of India. Throughout the movie, 5 languges were spoken: Korean, Chinese, Cantonese, English and Tamil. I wouldn't say it's a "Must Watch" show, just that it ain't boring as well. Overall, average ba...

Electrocuted
Kena electrocuted today at working place. Was trying to change the fuse of the lights at the side of the display in the stall. Thought the electricity for that area was shut off but bo lor... Den when trying to change the fuse, kena "shocked" tio, as in literally "shocked". Sighz... The light tubes and the fuse ain't working, causing the whole panel of that region to have no lights. Den Ivy bought the tubes and I need to buy the fuse in order to change the thing. In order to know the type of fuse used, we had to check the existing fuse used to buy the correct one. However, the only guy at that moment, who was Wencong, said he didn't know how to change the thing, and Fiona and Ivy also didn't know. I was the only one who knew how to change. So bo bian, climbed up the ladder and tried to take out the fuse. Then kena tio "shocked" lor....
In the end, after buying the fuses, Alvin changed when he came for work. Coz one thing, I didn't have the enough strength to un-plug the fuse out. It was screwed darn tight. But even I can un-plug it, don't think I want to do it either. I don't want to kena electrocuted again. T_T
Feeling dead tired now and my ankle is hurting. Old injury acting up again. Sianz... Thank goodness tomorrow is my day-off and going KTV with BJ. Whaha... after a long time and finally I can go 'K' le... But $$ in bank account dropping and salary will be only in 5th Oct instead at end of month. This means that I'm broke, and v broke as can be... T_T
$$$! I NEED $$$!

Day off yet bored
Today is my day-off. 2 day-offs in a week. It's not that I requested for it, but Ivy planned 2 day-offs for me instead of one. Have no idea why. However, it seems that even for my day-off, I can't rest properly until few minutes ago. Was busy helping Mum to prepare the dinner. (only when Bro gets back from hostel, den she spends more time preparing better meals... T_T) Oh ya, got to know my roster for next week. Tomorrow I'm working in OG Orchard Point, from 12-9, and this means I have to go to Suntec to take the dog tag first or else I have to purchase the stupid OG name tag for $5. Sianz...
Yesterday was working afternoon shift in J8 and closing was done with Jia Yi. Though I heard of her 'big name' ever since last time, I never really got the chance to see her real face. Actually think I saw once but can't remember the face. Yesterday was the first time I ever really got to see her. First impression? "Auntie"
As compared to the fellow colleagues I've worked with, she was really an auntie. First, her age was older than most of us and second, her make-up was like typical auntie. I was given many warnings about her before I worked with her so tried my best to restrain from provoking her. After working with her, I found that it was okay, at least not that bad. (perhaps I haven't seen the worse yet) However, as Eve said, she was quite 假. And I meant it. I don't know how to describe though, but you can feel it once worked with her.
Lazy to continue anymore le... Feel like slacking and watch anime.. Download so many anime but dun haf the time to watch though... Go watch le...

Back ache, legs ache, tired
Been pretty busy right after chalet. There wasn't much time for me to have a good rest, or should I say good sleep. Coz 15/9, Thursday, which was the day after chalet, I had to go back to work. Thus, leaving me no time to update my entry.
15th Sept 2005, Thursday
The day after chalet, I had to go back to work, and this is tiring. Firstly, I have not had enough rest/sleep, and second, I was assigned to Plaza Singapura to work. This means that once again, I had to familiarise with their keeping of the stock of their items. However, the duty roster sort of 'cocked up'. Ivy put me as working afternoon shift in PS, under the Suntec roster. But, under PS, my name was not there and it was only when I reached PS, did I realise from Steven (shop in-charge) that I wasn't suppose to be there. He then called up Ivy and told her about it, and she told me to go to OG Orchard Point to work from 12-8. And so, I walked to OG and Charlie was the person assigned there. Working in OG was damn boring, for there weren't many customers. Mostly the patrons are 'aunties' who will just 'bio' the products and walked away. Thank goodness there was Charlie to entertain me. He was fun to work with and quite chatty. He also told me that OG is boring to work in but there are other promoters from other brands of products on the sales floor to chat with. Only bad thing was the strict rules: "No handphones and wallets are to be taken into the sales floor. They must be left in the locker. Those who are caught violating the rule will be dealt accordingly"
Then I ask Charlie why set up this stupid rule. He then told me becoz the management at OG scared if we bring wallet, we may exchange with those being sold on the sales floor. As for the handphones, they are scared we may chit-chat on the phone and don't serve the customers. Siao ah! Think ma chiam we will do that and we got no common sense to think ah? Stupid rule sia! Worse thing was that Alvin called up to tell me that I would be working in Wisma Atria on Sunday, 12pm to closing, and not at original Suntec. Sianz...
17th Sept 2005, Saturday
Suppose to work full shift in PS today and thank god that there wasn't changes made to the duty roster on the day. Opened the shop with Steven and just half an hour later after opening the shop, I managed to sell a pair of shoes. The following hours were not spared and I kept selling quite a number of pairs of shoes. Perhaps it was my conscious telling me to make up for the 'NIL pair of shoes' sold in OG. Kept selling alot of pairs of shoes on that day. It was fun working with Steven and Tjoei Kok (a.k.a 'Shui ge' or 'KK' or 'Kok Kok'. Nicknames were given by the fellow colleagues working in Fila).
18th Sept 2005, Sunday
Wisma Atria. The first Fila shop to have a new look for the new theme. The theme of the shop was black and white, giving it a classy look. However, for that one whole day, I didn't talk much with the colleagues. The atmosphere when I first reached there was tense. I have no idea why. Sandra and Edwin are the in-charges of Wisma. When I first reached there, there seems to be some arguing between Edwin and Sandra. There after, I went to the storeroom to put my stuff and I saw Sandra cried. She asked me to go out first. And for the rest of hours, I find the atmosphere tense, even though Sandra and Edwin did talk to me. Sandra kept calling my name wrongly. She kept calling me 'Sumin'. I was like de.... is not that I didn't say my name and why other ICs or other colleagues didn't seem to have the problem and she has? I guessed I showed up the worng time? Anyway, I dun wanna work at Wisma anymore. First reason is dat first time working at there didn't leave a good impression in my mind and second, working there was stressed. It was the only shop with surveillance cameras, which means that those office people can see what we are doing.
19th Sept 2005, Monday
Got this week roster from Wencong yesterday and I was informed to work in Queensway, 12-8. I was like "Huh? Queensway? Me? Why? I live damn far from there leh..." Then Wencong told me that everyone also kena their roster like this. Guess becoz there weren't enough people in Fila. When I went there, I got kinda lost. Coz Queensway leh.... Never been there before... Josephine (everyone call her Jo) was the one opening the shop with me. Then I found out the JoJo that Eve was referring to when she was working in IMM was this Jo. Queensway was quite a boring place to work in, for there were few people over there and it ain't like a normal shopping centre. People go there to really look for sports items. Oh ya, Jo asked me to go to the bank and as usual, I got lost. I went the opposite direction. Thank goodness I got hold of the shop's number first coz' I somehow predicted that I'll get lost. And boy was I right! This teaches me a lesson. Get my directions right always before I set off for the place, especially so if I'm in an umfamiliarised place. And always confirm the directions several times!!
20th Sept, 21st Sept 2005, Tuesday & Wednesday
Yay!!! Finally back to Suntec to work with Alvin and Wencong! No matter what, I still like working in Suntec. Perhaps it's becoz I've been working there for a long time le, and I'm more familiar with place. Somemore storeroom bigger. Haha!!! No la..at least I feel more at ease working in Suntec. These few days been having back ache and legs ache. Think bend too much ands stand too long le.... Now v tired...dun feel like typing le... Still need to change bedsheets. Thank goodness tml off. No need go work, or else will die of fatigue.

Chalet aftermath
Back from the 3 days class chalet with my legs full of mosquitoes’ bites, a bad cough and deprivation of sleep. Initially before going to the chalet, I was already down with a cough and flu, however, it seems that the air over there made it worse. On top of that, drinking of alcohol made it worse.
First Day of chalet, 12 Sept 2005:
Bijiao, Jinwei and I met at AMK MRT station before going to the chalet. We were to proceed to Kembagan to take the BBQ food which was ordered from BBQ Wholesale. We were to meet Allan at Kembagan MRT station at 11.30am. Upon reaching there, we then took bus 32 to the BBQ wholesale location. However, as I was busy with work the day before chalet, I forgot to check the exact bus stop of the location. Hence, we had to carefully keep a lookout for it and thankfully, it was rather easy to find. After paying and getting the food, we took a cab to Costa Sands Pasir Ris as we were carrying lots of stuff. It wasn’t easy to find a cab for the shop was located at a small street. Plus the hot weather and the heavy stuff were killing us. When we managed to get a cab, we heaved a sigh of relief.
When we reached the lobby of Costa Pasir Ris, BJ was afraid that the chalet may not be ready for us to check in. the check-in time for the chalet was actually 2.30pm but on we were advised to check in earlier to fill in necessary documents. Reached there around 12 something and went to the registration counter to check if our chalet was ready. Thank goodness the chalet was ready and we were able to check into it. Our chalet number was C-01 and we went to check into it. We told the rest to come any time after 2.30pm and were informed that most of them would only come around 5 plus or later hence, we actually had a lot of time to spare. The 4 of us packed the respective food into the refrigerator and after that, washed the floor of level one. (Our chalet was double storey.)
By the time we finished, it was around 1.30pm and decided that we should go for lunch (none of us ate breakfast). However, the nearest food court was at Downtown East and we were pretty lazy to walk there. Thus, we rented bicycles to cycle there but I did not know how to cycle and had to rent one that was double people de bicycle. JW was the only one who was able to control the bigger size bicycle and hence, he was at the front of the double-people bicycle, controlling it and I was at the back to be the engine. Soon, it started drizzling and which was the thing we were afraid of during the chalet. (This means that most outdoor activities had to be cancelled.)
After eating lunch, Hosea reached the chalet and rested a while, before Hosea, Allan, BJ and I went for cycling. I asked them to teach me how to cycle. However, it was unsuccessful for I learnt only an hour and had to go back to the chalet for it started to drizzle again.
Candice and Eve arrived shortly later, at around 6 something, when the skies started to rain heavily. We were planning to have BBQ on first day however, due to the weather, we could not. Since Jaws and gang were arriving at a later time, around 7 to 8 plus, we asked them to help us buy dinner but they keep pushing around, giving excuses of not wanting to buy for us. In the end they did la.
Second Day of chalet, 13 Sept 2005:
12am le and Wenjie, Zhicheng, Raymond and Chiyu were still playing mahjong that BJ and I had rented. We rented it, thinking we could play throughout the night however, the guys just played, placing big bets on each round. They played since 9 something pm on 12/9 to the 10 something in the morning on 13/9. WJ and ZC then said they don’t want to stay for the BBQ and wanted to go home le. However, I had already sent email, SMS and MSN them on the dates of the chalet. If they want to leave, please at least have the initiative to pay for the drinks, food, rental fee of mahjong and half of the chalet fee that each person has to pay! They didn’t (esp. WJ) WJ then still said they not eating the BBQ food so they don’t need to pay etc. I was really furious, and on top of that, I was still sick + not enough of sleep + drank a bit of alcohol, I was really bent on going down (I was on 2nd floor room.) to scold and shout at them. My emotions were overflowing like a volcano about to erupt. The rest stopped me before I blasted my anger. Eve then went down to negotiate with them and somehow or rather, managed to solve abit (however, it wasn’t what we had initially planned.) I was already thinking WTH! If I didn’t tell them that chalet was 3 days, 2 nights and that each person has to pay the fixed amount, then I would be the one at fault. However, I did! And what do I get in return? WTF!
After they went home, the chalet was much more peaceful (noise and air coz’ they were smoking the whole night.). Then it came to BBQ. Food was alright except for the otah that went bad. Then Eve, Candice and I started to play ‘Dai Dee’ and the forfeit for the loser was to drink a concoction of vodka, containing 40% alcohol and ice-cream soda. (Percentage of vodka was much more that ice-cream soda, and I mean much more.) 3 cups of the concoction, I started to feel ‘seh’ le. Somemore, I didn’t drink slowly. I gulped down in 1 gulp and in addition, I’m the type who drink alcohol, but won’t get red in the face. This means that most of the blood would rush to my head, causing the ‘sehness’. After that, I also don’t know how many more cups I drank and Melvin joined the game as well (also dunno when). My actions started to get out of control. I knew what I was doing, what I was talking and I could walk steadily but my actions were really beyond my control. I guess I was drunk but my mind was still clear. (theoretically, but not physically, I guess.) Not sure when I took the mattress out and laid it on the floor and slept on it. All I knew was when I woke up, my mind was cleared and the rest told me when I was sleeping, there was an outbreak of cockroaches outside the chalet. (eew…) Moreover, there was also one in the bathroom. Yucks! Thank goodness when I was bathing. I didn’t see it for I’ll definitely freak out.
Third Day of chalet, 14 Sept 2005:
We had to check out of the chalet before 10.30am but all of us were ready by 8.30am. We also cleared and packed the chalet, not leaving any signs of rubbish. By the time we reach the lobby, it was 8.45am and the shuttle bus would come only at 9am. Hence, all of us waited for it to board to White Sands Mall. After we reached, we went for breakfast at Macdonald’s. once breakfast was done, we proceeded our own way home.
Conclusion:
Though there were many angry and sad things happened, still it was considered our last chalet of our poly life. We are now in our 3rd year and next semester, each of us will be working hard to gain a good pass in diploma le. One never knows when we’ll meet again...
*P.S.* Took a longer time to wirte coz' I was tired right after I came back from chalet and that the next day, I had to go back work... took 1 day plus to write...
First Day of chalet, 12 Sept 2005:
Bijiao, Jinwei and I met at AMK MRT station before going to the chalet. We were to proceed to Kembagan to take the BBQ food which was ordered from BBQ Wholesale. We were to meet Allan at Kembagan MRT station at 11.30am. Upon reaching there, we then took bus 32 to the BBQ wholesale location. However, as I was busy with work the day before chalet, I forgot to check the exact bus stop of the location. Hence, we had to carefully keep a lookout for it and thankfully, it was rather easy to find. After paying and getting the food, we took a cab to Costa Sands Pasir Ris as we were carrying lots of stuff. It wasn’t easy to find a cab for the shop was located at a small street. Plus the hot weather and the heavy stuff were killing us. When we managed to get a cab, we heaved a sigh of relief.
When we reached the lobby of Costa Pasir Ris, BJ was afraid that the chalet may not be ready for us to check in. the check-in time for the chalet was actually 2.30pm but on we were advised to check in earlier to fill in necessary documents. Reached there around 12 something and went to the registration counter to check if our chalet was ready. Thank goodness the chalet was ready and we were able to check into it. Our chalet number was C-01 and we went to check into it. We told the rest to come any time after 2.30pm and were informed that most of them would only come around 5 plus or later hence, we actually had a lot of time to spare. The 4 of us packed the respective food into the refrigerator and after that, washed the floor of level one. (Our chalet was double storey.)

Fate...
Fate is a funny thing. Sometimes, it brings 2 people, who used to be in the same company or school, a few years ago, together at a same place and being acquatainance with each other. These 2 people did not know each other's existence last time, and yet they were brought together in the same place, for instance, the same company and hence, knowing each other.
Why I stated that is because on Tuesday, the second day after I've gone back Fila to work, I saw a familiar name on the duty roster. "Lee Zi Guo" I was like thinking "Where have I heard the name before? It sounds familiar.." I was told that he was a newcomer. During the evening, Xiaolin told Wencong that she saw Zi Guo on the other day and gave a description. After that, I find the name more and more familiar. Was Xiaolin referring to the Zi Guo that used to be in the same secondary school as I am? (He was a year older, which means my senior.) The description that Xioalin gave also had some near resemblance of the Zi Guo of my secondary school. (I heard of the name Zi Guo is because my classmates used to say the name and last time, there weren't many sec 4 classes in my sec school for it was small.)
Only on yesterday, then my doubts were confirmed. He was, indeed, my senior in the same sec school. He went to Suntec to take some transferred stock to Plaza Singapura. And today, I was assigned to Junction 8 to work full shift and my senior was working from 3pm to closing. Again, I was confirmed that he was my senior for he told me that he was from the same sec school as I am.
2 people who aren't aware of each existence, even though in the same secondary school (oh ya, during my period, from sec1 to sec 4, there weren't many classes. Each level had like only 5 classes.) and yet, met with each other as colleagues after a few years. It's a wonder how fate works. That is why I won't be surprised if the person who may be walking on the street, who was walking beside me on some day, may turn out to be a fellow acquatainance.

Sick + Back to work...
Status: Tired + Pissed off + Terribly sick
Yesterday(as in Mon, coz now is considered Tues le) was the first day, after 6mths plus, to go back to Fila to work. First day and I was being called to work full shift. Really hard to adapt coz I've not been standing for long hrs ever since I stopped working at Fila. Most of the products were changed and had to get used to the location of the products packed in the storeroom, as well as th respective offers and promotions. In other words, I have lost touch le.
Things did not get any better for I was down with a flu and sorethroat since the day before. I felt terrible however, I still had to endure for Fila was lacking of people. What was worse was that, on my 1st day of work, I had to deal with an unreasonable customer.
She bought her son(I think, and think he's around pri 1) to the shop. She belonged to middle age, most probably abit older than my mum. She wanted to purchase the $10 tee (with min 3 purchases and above, then each piece cost $10). So I told her to get 3 pieces. She then literally ransacked the pile of clothes for the size for a particular design. The cutting was actually the same for all designs for the men's (she was quite plump). I told her that but she wouldn't listen. She then picked one piece form here and there. Then she wanted her son to try out as well, and again ransacked the pile of clothes. I did help her to look for the size but she juz... sighed... Den she grabbed the pile of clothes to the 2 chairs that were meant for customers to try out the shoes. And slowly picked one by one. She actually decided le, den her son keep pointing here and there say "I wan try this" and bo bian, I had to get for her. Some designs did not have the size that she wanted and she just wouldn't listen. She keep comparing the smaller size to the larger size of 2 different designs (is she so 天真 to think that it would become bigger?). Den when she dun want, she just chucked it aside. When she chose 3 pieces le, she saw the promotion that we had : "For every $40 and above that you purchased, you can get selected dry-fit tees for $10. Limited to 1 piece per customer"
Den she asked if she could just buy the tee with $30 purchased, den I told her "no" coz this was our company's rule. (At this point of time, she had already taken nearly 40 mins of my time) Den she asked if she could buy 1 water bottle and purchased the dry-fit tee (the bottle cost $8.90 and total cost is $38.90.) So I went to ask my in-charge and he said alright juz to 打发 her to leave the shop (he also know that I'm pissed off le).
Okay, den she chose 3 pieces for her coach, but had no idea which piece was suitable. Den she said she want to take the 3 pieces up to let her coach try, leaving the 3 for $30 tees with the shop. She said she'll pay for it 1st, den upon her coach has decided, she will take down the other 2 pieces to return us. I told her it was impossible for company does not allow us to do dat. I tried asking her to ask her coach down to try and she said her coach was busy. She insisted on dat and bo bian, have to ask my in-charge to deal with her. Finally, my in-charge managed to persuade her to buy a piece of the $40 promotion 1st, den if size ain't suitable, she can come down and change, within 7 days of purchase, along with the receipt. Den she asked can extend the duration anot, coz she busy. Of coz no la, everywhere oso like dat ma. Den finally, she decided le and search for her card. In the end, she couldn't find her card and had not enough cash to purchase everything. And so she said she want to purchase the bottle 1st, den tml come back to purchase the rest of the stuff. I was damn pissed now but had no choice but to bear with it. I told her bring the receipt tml to buy the rest of the stuff for I'll reserve it for her. I have no idea why (think she scared I run away tml) that she asked me for my name and telephone number. So bo bian again, I gave her my name and the outlet's number. Den she finally left.
WTH! WTF! So troublesome. Purchase only 1 $8.90 bottle and took me 1hr plus to serve her. F***!! Jia laht! Later she coming back le (today is Tues le) and I scare she wan chage dis n dat again. How?? Tell me wat to do??

Last day of Hungry Ghost Month
Today is the last day of the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival, which means that there'll be lots of people burning incense paper up to the very last min - 11.59pm of 3rd Sept 2005. As of tomorrow, it will be Lunar 8th month, which is also the month where people will celebrate Mid-autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival on the 15th day of the lunar 8th month. Right now, every where is selling mooncakes, and with all sorts of flavours. To think of it, I actually tasted one very 'OMG' mooncake. On the surface, it looked like it was '豆沙' but when I ate it, "ACK!! WTH! Green Tea?!!" *puke*
It's not that I dun drink green tea, I do drink. But asking me to eat other food with green tea flavour, it's just 'eww'. It's like green tea should be drank with the origin flavour. By mixing it with other food, it's just not for me. x_x
Having a sore throat now. Die.. How am I going to talk if I'm going back to Fila to work on Mon? Plus, I'm inhaling alot of the smoke and smell of the massive burning incense paper. Lacking of fresh air and oxygen... Help!!
Oh ya, when I went to Comex Fair yesterday, a person gave me an installation cd for the new free online MMORPG game called "Myth War Online". The plot and the game is interesting, however when I tried installing from the cd, my com keep hanging. It juz would not proceed on reading the cd. Thus I tried downloading the client and installed it. It was successfully installed but could not be played. I could not even log into the game for the graphics were blurred. My com met the requirements of the game leh but I have no idea why I can't play. Drats! It seems that the game still have bugs. Afterall, it is still open beta. 1 more day left to slack le before I start working again. I wouldn't complain about the work for the pay is better that the attachment. Whaha..... $$$ rolling in!!! XD
Actually, this is an old song called "Crying in the Rain". It was originally sung by A-Ha then now 5566 has re-sung it. The lyrics are beautiful and together with the melody, it is perfect.
Crying in the Rain
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Comex Fair and World Food Fair
Juz finished bathing only and I'm perspiring like hell. Why does Singapore have such a humid weather? Even after raining, the air is still so stagnant. Anyway, went out of the house at 1pm yesterday, and came back at 12am today. Well, the timing now is considered Saturday le...
Why did I go out for so long? Hehe... It's an enjoyable thing that I am able to go out for so long ever since the attachment period, so at least, let me enjoy before I start my part-time job. Anyway, met BJ in the afternoon for KTV session at the new K-Box outlet at Marina Square. It's been a long time since we ever took student package in the afternoon, singing from 2pm to 7pm. In addition, since the outlet at Marina Square was new, there were still many vacant rooms and I believed not many people know about this new outlet yet. It is the latest K-Box outlet, and obviously, the sound system is definitely better. Room comparison, hmm.... Clementi outlet has bigger rooms. It's been a long time since I ever sing until so shiok and need not use so much force. I find that I am able to find my voice more easily as compared to last time. Singing S.H.E and Angela songs are more easier. Our room was located beside a bunch of teenagers (seeing their faces, they look younger than us). Their voices, sighz.. maybe they sang it purposely (which I did not really know the reason) and 2 girls sang S.H.E songs too. BJ heard them singing and said she could not stand their way of singing anymore and so asked me if I want to sing S.H.E songs. I said fine and proudly I can say, my voice definitely sounds better than them. LOLX. (I v bu yao lian...)
Right after that, we met Allan, Hosea and their other 2 friends to go to the Comex Fair held at Suntec Convention Halls, level 4 and 6. It was packed with alot of people as today was a friday evening, which was nearing a weekend hence, the reason for the crowd. It was hard to walk along the path in the exhibition halls. Even though we were able to walk, we found it hard to see the IT products carried. Actually, to speak the truth, there weren't much things that can be bought, well, to me la... coz I broke as my salary has not come in, plus can't find the stuff I want. I wanted to find an external DVD-RW player but most that I found were internal. Sianz... Even those external HDD are of unknown brand and no one knows how long it can last. It ain't that safe sia. Although there are good brands over there, like Creative but they did not carry the products I was looking for. So even if I want to buy external DVD-RW, most probably I'll rather got to Funan to take a look or perhaps, wait till Creative warehouse sale ba.
After going to the Comex Fair, we went to take a look at the World Food Fair. It was 9.30pm and most of the stalls were packing up (even though the fair closes at 10pm). To speak the truth, there weren't many stalls and the food sold did not interest us, as well as the price was a bit expensive. One small bowl of Katong laksa cost $3. I rather go to the coffeshop to eat sia. However, all of us were hungry coz' we did not eat for dinner. Thus, Andrew (one of Allan's friend) brought us to Liang Seah street to eat 煮炒. Right opposite I saw a jap-style 居酒屋. If possible, I feel like going there next time to see what's inside, as well as to drink sake! ~.~
Yawnz...my hair is finally dry... I can go sleep le... Feel so sleepy after a long day. If I don't sleep, I can never get to sleep a long sleep again for I was called back to work at Fila. Wencong said they were lacking of people. Since they called me back, it saves the hassle to go look around for a part-time job. Perhaps after graduation, I may consider an alternative ba. Most prob starting work coming Mon.... zzzzzzzz..........
Why did I go out for so long? Hehe... It's an enjoyable thing that I am able to go out for so long ever since the attachment period, so at least, let me enjoy before I start my part-time job. Anyway, met BJ in the afternoon for KTV session at the new K-Box outlet at Marina Square. It's been a long time since we ever took student package in the afternoon, singing from 2pm to 7pm. In addition, since the outlet at Marina Square was new, there were still many vacant rooms and I believed not many people know about this new outlet yet. It is the latest K-Box outlet, and obviously, the sound system is definitely better. Room comparison, hmm.... Clementi outlet has bigger rooms. It's been a long time since I ever sing until so shiok and need not use so much force. I find that I am able to find my voice more easily as compared to last time. Singing S.H.E and Angela songs are more easier. Our room was located beside a bunch of teenagers (seeing their faces, they look younger than us). Their voices, sighz.. maybe they sang it purposely (which I did not really know the reason) and 2 girls sang S.H.E songs too. BJ heard them singing and said she could not stand their way of singing anymore and so asked me if I want to sing S.H.E songs.

绝对Superstar
Today was the finale of Project Superstar(绝对Superstar) since the starting of April this year. The 24 contestants who made it are actually idolised by the public, some of them even have fan clubs. Their popularity soar way up high that even some overseas artistes are on par with them. However, the final result was something that was predictable yet carrying with a tinge of pity + unfairness. The final result was solely depended on the public and if you have the money, everything can be done pretty easy. With money, fans can buy dozens of the cds to support, and also, SMS and call several times, just to poll for their fav contestant. This means that professionals' views were disregarded and if money is able to "捧红" someone, or bring their fav contestant to win the contest, I feel that the contest is just a scam.
It's just my personal opinion however, I feel that Kelvin, who won the contest, is able to only sing a particular genre of song. It is true that his performance tonight was better off than his past performances, but Kelly's performance was definitely better. If people keep saying that Kelvin won because of 同情票, then why does he keep singing songs that will make people pity for him? Just because he's partially disabled, it doesn't mean that he has to make people vote for him out of pity. If he has the voice, the skill, the talent, people will automatically vote for him. True enough, he does have the voice for some of the songs, but others actually sing better and why do people vote for him? Is it because they feel that "Wow! He's blind and he can sing till he touches my heart. He deserves my vote!"? Tonight's performance, he kept singing only one genre of song, which was 抒情. If changed to R&B style, he is not able to make it. However, Kelly proved to be the real superstar, by abling to sing different genre of songs and adapting all the way. Definitely, her performance tonight was great. The charistmatic, the skill, the voice.
I just feel that if Singapore is to hold contests like this kind, they should not made the public decide who the winner is. It is unbias especially when it comes to the term of money. Professionals views and judging are actually more important as they know what to look out for a characteristic that a singer must have. If he/she has it, he/she can really become a real superstar. In this case, this "Project Superstar" contest, professional judging were totally ignored. So what's the point of having judges?

Weird...
I often wonder why there'll be many funerals in the period of the Chinese 7th month, which is also the Hungry Ghost Festival? It seems that it is really an inauspicious month for almost everywhere, one can see a funeral at the void decks of HDB flats. I'm not complaining about funerals for life and death is part and parcel of everyone's life. It's just that why do families, relatives and friends only gather together when there is a funeral? Even during Chinese New Year or other festive seasons, it is hard for relatives to gather together. However, wheneven there is a funeral, old friends from the past or relatives whom have not contacted for years suddenly "popped up" to attend the funeral. It's like there are alot of unfamiliar faces and yet, we see the elderlys, chatting with them like they have been contacting with each other always, which in fact, they have not seen each other for years. I really find it weird like some people I have no idea who they are, suddenly came up to me and say "Oh, you've grown up so much since the last time I saw you. How old are you now? What are you doing now? Studying or working?" When they ask these kind of questions, my mind will be wondering "Who are you?". When I ask my dad or mum about it, they'll just say "There, that lady lor, who used to be...blah, blah blah..."
My reaction would be "Huh? How come I don't have the faintest idea?" And there's also one thing about funerals. Every uncle who just come (no matter is your relative or whatever), you call them, and auntie, you call them auntie. Becuase of this, I really do not have the faintest idea who and who are related to me (of course, not all but only some). I guess that's the society now. No one really bothers to know what are the specifice terms to call their relatives and also no one bothers to contact with each other, even during festive season, unless it is a funeral.

~.~ Rejoice to my freedom
Hurray!! Yipee!! Yay!! Ole!!
Finally, my attachment finished today! I'm so so happy!! For one week plus till the class chalet, I can enjoy my freedom after having not much life for 5 months! Hurray to the freedom I've gained once more!! Rejoice! Right now, even though if I can't go out, just staying at home to rot is already a bless. Slacking is something that I have not done a long time and it feels good to know that I can slack. Woohoo!!!!! F-R-E-E-D-O-M!! FREEDOM!!
As of start from now, I do not have to wake up so early in the morning during weekdays. Neither do I have to squeeze with people to board the train during the peak hours of the morning or evening. And neither do I have to endure the long hours of sitting in front of a lousy com, with no freedom in the office. In any words, yes, I'm free.
However, after chalet, I have to go find a part-time job again to earn cash for the hols and before the school starts at end of October. Hope that I can go back Fila to work or perhaps, find a better job. Maybe a waitress job? Or working at KTV? Whaha.... think too much le... Hmmm..... Dun feel like continuing any more.... Juz wanna slack, slack, slack, slack, slack.............

FUMBLED!!
Date: 23rd August 2005, 11am
Venue: NP, ICT building, 27-04-14
Event: VIVA
Result: ???
Messed up... I totally messed up... 1st time ever for presentation for my 2+ years in poly life, I fumbled over a presentation. What was worse was that this presentation is not normal presentation, but was a presentation that decide on my life and fate. It was VIVA, my FYP presentation. I had no idea why I fumbled. There were actually signs of me not doing well for VIVA, showing before the start of my VIVA. I had already went out of the house early, reaching school at 10+am. When I stepped out of the house, the weather was still fine. Approaching MacRitchie, the skies became darker. At Steven's Rd, the skies became more threatening. When I changed my bus at Bukit Timah, darn! The skies gave way to the rain, and it was not a drizzle but a heavy down pour. Darn! The God was already threatening me, giving warnings to obstructions to my VIVA.
True enough, my prediction was correct. I fumbled a few times over my presentation. Keep stumbling over the words and the questions that the 2nd marker asked me, were unexpected. I was too stunned and scared to react and had to think for a while before I could react. Drats! It must given the 2nd marker a bad impression. After my presentation, my supervisor and the 2nd marker asked me to go out of the room for a while for they need to discuss about my presentation. I was like praying damn hard outside of the room that my presentation went fine and that they could not spot too much mistakes. After a few minutes, they were done and the 2nd marker left the room. Then I asked my supervisor how did I fare for my VIVA. He said I did fine. Hmm.....was that a console to me or what? I had no idea....
No mood to think of anything right now.... Quite disappointed over my own presentation... T_T

tired....
Dark skies looming ahead...
A Japan Coast Guard boat docking at HBF harbour
The hat I just bought...
Wooh... Feeling abit tired right now… Why? Coz’ have been resting only a few hours this morning. Yesterday right after work, I went to Orchard to purchase 5566 3rd album and after that, met up with mum and dad to Chinatown to dine for dinner. After dining with them, went to Hougang to join BJ for a KTV session. She was asking me on Thursday night whether I wanted to go to KTV session on Friday night.
Finally it was at K-Box and we were quite delighted as we got students’ package and we could sing till the shop was closed if there were no customers booking the room. However, after 3 weeks of not going to KTV, we could not find our voice at the start of the session, i.e. we couldn’t find our pitch. In addition, the first song that I sung was “杀破狼”which was a high-pitch song. That proved to be a difficult song when my voice hasn’t opened（开声）. Quite terrible. After that we decided to sing some low-pitch songs first, like Twins’ songs and slowly proceeded on to 张韶涵songs. Quite a jump in the pitches I would say. Right after that, was a list of S.H.E songs. It was a lot! Wile singing S.H.E songs, I finally found my pitch and able to use 丹田to sing instead of the throat. We ended the KTV session with a number of Chinese oldies and we kept saying “You know this song? I thought no one would know coz’ it’s quite old” to each other. Whaha… we definitely don’t’ sound like typical teenagers. We ended the session at 2.30am, almost sang 6hrs plus non-stop. Tsk..tsk… However, we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest though. It was quite along time since we sang till so happy. Think partly is becoz the sound system was better and the other was becoz we could release our stress. The only bad part was the system actually hanged twice.
Reached home around 3am and slept only 4+am. Den had to get up early in the morning to accompany Mum to China Square Central. She told me she wanted to go and check out some shoes and had to reach home before 3pm (the person from the government who’s going to check the hinges of the windows was coming around that time). And so we had to go out earlier. We found the shop but it was deserted, as in no customers were in the shop. Mum said she didn’t want go in coz’ there would a fuss of attention given to us if we were the only customers (which was quite true). In the end, we never went in the shop and proceed to eat “油鸡面”for lunch. After that, went to OG to look around. My main motive was to actually help brother to look out for the Transformers car model that he wanted, as well the Gundam model. But they did not have it. My purpose to go out with Mum was actually accompany her and did not intend to buy any stuff. However in the end, I bought a hat and a pair of shoes and Mum didn’t. -_-
After purchasing the stuff, we head back home. It’s now 4.35pm and the person who said he was coming to check is not here still. Sighz…not sure what time he’ll be coming though….
Haha...put up some pics though...one is a pic of a hat I just bought... the other 2? You wun believe that I actually took indoors... this is the scenery from the ladies' washroom at Lobby C, fo HBF Centre.. I go there to enjoy the view when I need to relax from the work...

Complains....
Complain!! Today I’m going to complain!! Why? Coz’ I’m afraid that I may not be able to get a full day off during my VIVA day. Why is that so? Coz’ one of the fellow attachment students may jeopardize the rest for taking off on VIVA. He was also the same person who almost jeopardized our chance of taking off on the day for submitting report.
Day on submitting report: He was the first person amongst the 8 of us who went back school to submit the FYP report. As he submitted on a Wednesday, he took 3 hrs off from work to go back to school to hand it up and came back PSA to work. Due to that we were questioned on Thursday evening, which was the day before we handed in our FYP report, by our admin. She asked the 3 of us, who were under the same admin that do we really need the whole day off to hand up coz that guy only took 3 hrs off. When we heard it, we were like “WTH!” Then luckily we cook up some excuses to take off, like we had to discuss with our supervisor some stuff after handing in.
VIVA: Now I heard from another attachment student (also from NP), that he was also taking only half day off for VIVA. Reason? Coz’ his VIVA is only held in the late afternoon whereas most of us are scheduled in the middle of the day, like from 11am to 2pm, which is like neither here nor there. Then this friend who told me, has the same supervisor as that “Jeopardizing guy” and she sought permission from him to take whole day off for VIVA. Her supervisor said “no” and he said if he (the jeopardizing guy) can only need take half day off, why you need take whole day? WTH? Coz her schedule is in the middle ma, den his is not!! Becoz of that, now I’m scared to seek permission from my supervisor liao! WTH!! FREAKING A**H***!!! No wonder he was outcaste by the others (there r other reasons adding up to it la…)
Now what am I going to? Scared leh… later my supervisor/admin dun let me take whole day off, den I mati le…. Only one more time to keng at the last week of attachment le…. Muz keng as much as possible, even though attachment nearing the end. Becoz it is nearing the end, that’s why muz keng even more…. Whahaha… I’m so evil….
