return of the deadly mother tongue!!!

there was this long Q before i even stepped into the office

i was on my feet the whole day in heels and smiling ear to ear *note it is fake smile*
although i really didnt want it at all.
talked to all the ah pehs and ah mahs.
i have never spoken so much mandrin in a single day
and dialect too.
and i think i am dying.

no counter work for me today.
standing hour in hour out.
CPF is SO FREEKING BUSY!!!
only allowed a 15 min lunch break.
but clock in 10.25 hours of work today.
started at 8 ended at 6.30

at least i get $$$
if i carry on at this rate the entire week.
i will have
242+132=374 by the end of the week

and by any unwanted chance i have to work like this the entire month...
ill have 374 times 4 = $$$1496 per month
that is alot, but i am working like a harvesting bull

then after CPF will be...
1496 times 0.8 = $$$1197

i dont want to work at this inhumanly unacceptable rate.
shanny!!! stop calculating everything in MONEY!!!

tomorro is my first day official
SCARED!!!

my wisdom is growing out
the gums are left hanging in the middle of the mouth
i have two tonsals (is that how you spell it?)

shopping spree!!!

i just slashed $200 on my card in three hours.
there goes another emptying of my fianacial well.
just want my pay to enter.
then can go on another round.

thinking of buying more stuff tomorro.
think i may want to buy a pink eyeshadow

man am i good at spending money.

Working sucks

being in the front line will mean that i have to be presentable. that means

1. i have to follow the house rules
2. i must maintain good posture and die of backache
3. i must be SUPER POLITE even when i want to puch them down the stairs
4. i must wear office clothing which i dont have a single piece
5. i must wear makeup and risk pimples again
6. i must have half hour break on busy days and die of hunger
7. i must be UNEXPLAINABLY PAITENT which i am not
8. i must be at work on time which mean less sleep and waking up sch hours
9. i must not slack besides there is no time to

IN CONCLUSION

I AM NOT GOING TO BE SHANNY!!!

i wont be able to blog often anymore at least for the next two months

i have gotten myself a kick my ass job.
yes a kick in my OWN ASS

i was just hired for a customer service position in the CPF board. at this time of the year, there is plenty and way too much activity in the office. people who come and claim money and may simply just scream at you if you dont give them money. i may have just becomed the anger venting object of the AH PEHS and AH MAHS!!! only people at fifty plus will come and scream in chinese/malay/cantonese/what ever other dialects. (all which i dont understand)

just was paid $80 to sit and listen in the cold room at someone to explain ALL the policy of the CPF! i wanted to puke... there are so many forms, so many policies and so many things for me to photocopy and attach to this and that. i have just gone through training and i will be facing the crowd full force on monday. and i dont even know how to do anything.

expected turnout???
1000 ah pehs and ah mahs
these senior citizens will swarm the office even before i step into the counter and log in my time sheet. think they will start Q-in at tanjong pagar at six plus, where normal office hours starts at 8.
now we know where all our KS-ness come from. it IS in our genes and ancestery!!!

and ya... dont let me attend to any one of your parents or grandparents or relative!!! you my friends can be a good filial child and help them do what ever they computer illiterate people can do online. just visit www.cpf.gov.sg... just help them... i dont want to attend to more people... and besides just imagine ur grandparent having to stand 3 hours on their feet just get the ERS form. i tell you first... there is no chair in the office to wait for ERS.

they may just die of exhaustion before they get their money.

i have to cut my holiday to attend work on monday!!! not only that... there is so many things for my to study and memorise by monday when i face the crowd.

i dont even know what CPF is called in chinese.
call me a staff!!! *smirk*

dinner with the hawaii volcano chain

you think singapore is safe from plate tectonic activity??? no way... i have a life sized example that there is still magma movements occuring in our midst. very easy to detect.

just look at my face.

five really really REALLY BIG ones that is residing on my face. i am a busy woman this week and my hormones have to grant my my christmas present. hhohoho... i have to go from wedding dinner to family dinner and i look worse than the Aluetian islands. great aint it???

advisible to have a conversation with me with eye-no-so-contact from my neck down. i am afriad that if you see this rotten face of my you may not be able to live till chirstmas. i want all my friends and relatives to survive christmas.

if you know what continental meats continental, then you have understood the basic of what my face looks like. just that you must keep note that there is magma/puss activity under the crust with just cant wait to arise to the surface. in the end there is just series of bumps and explosion on the earth's surface. think the himalayas with volcano. big and dangerous.

just imagine this sexy girl with a volcanic face

that was me

i am so ego man... keep refering myself as sexy in the times of oxy treatment need. i think i may have to get some form of brain transplant. anyway. i dont even think oxy can do anything bout it at all.

i may just have to pour acid all over my face

my face looks like mince meat

pimple here, pimple there
pimple pimple EVERYWHERE

how on earth am i going to face the world???

i have this gigantic one on my nose,
one on my cheek and two on my chin.
i look hideous!!! i cant even stand the sight of myself.
oh GOD!!! save me...

i have a dinner to attend tonight and i look like mince meat!!!
i must look pretty. shanny MUST look pretty!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!
PIMPME!!!!!!!!!!!

like &%*$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think i got the job

they didnt call me as much as i wanted them to

"disdained" hearts

the lack of post in the last 5 days were due to a busy schedule. firstly me new com arrived on wed and i had so much fun playing my computer games that i forgot that the internet existed. there was a problem in the modem setting and i had to carry this box with wired down back to funan to get it troubleshooted. but in the end, after pains and hard work. the guy manage to fix me up throught the phone.

cheers

next... they came down from norway!!! haven ot seen them for two whole years. jasmine has grown prettier and martin??? taller... how does 2 meters sound to you??? when i saw him i was like all shocked at MY lack of height... i was barely up to his shoulders!!! and he looks like gosh groban!!! the hair and everything!!!! ill get some pictures posted soon!!

jasmine and i went clubbing with the first time of my life, WITH the APPROVAL of my PARENTS!!!! yes people. mommy finally ALLOWED shanny to dress up and go party and drink. but shanny only did the drinking part. no dress up unless you count jeans and a racer with eyeliner. but who cares man??? i was still clubbing with mommy nodding her head.

danced and danced and danced the whole night away. went to zouk. didnt know if the min age was 18 or 21 but no cared anyway. ticket was FOC. just entered and drinked and danced. i rock!!! jasmine was stopped by the bouncers for ID. i didnt!!! i must have looked really REALLY AGED!!! but the thing is that i did not make up at all!!! i rock!!!!!!!

drinking suddenly seem so fun. gin gin and more gin!!! i love everything!!! including beer!!!

reached home and soaped my hair for three days before i could get rid of THAT SMELL!!! it was really bad sleeping with it at night... i turn and i stink... that is why i dont smoke so dont you dare come and tempt me, coz i am just going to throw that light bud back into your contipated face.... (yes friends who smoke in front of me are all constipated. friend or not.)

i dreamt i was a CHAMPION swimmer

i was flew the length of the pool in 5 strokes.
i was GOOD!!! and FAST!!!
i was so CONFIDENT!!!

does this mean that i am so good that i am going to get the job???
or does that mean that i miss my primary sch competitive swimming days????

my interview

okay, dressed up really nicly to down for my interview. turtle neck, skirt, full make up and everything. look like a chio bu!!! ready for some modeling photoshoot. with really cute pumps which made my feet explode with blisters after walking to just bishan mrt. (blame it on vainity. but the shoes were VVVVV nice) but anyway i look really good!!! it's the look that counts. pain doesnt matter.

then i have to prance through city link mall to suntec and reached there 30 mins before my interview time. thought i couldnt find the place so i left the house at 8.30am. but in the end the signs were so easy to read. thanks God i wasnt late at all. if i came any later... i will have to wait light years for my turn. i was second in line for the interview.

but the walk to suntec tower 3 made mince meet out of my feet. my heels werent high at all, it was the darn unseasoned shoe that kept sandpapering at the back of my feet. think maybe ill have to try throwing it the laundry or soak it in some softening thingy. but the shoes are so sharp i scared that i spoil the washing machine. then mommy will demand my 1st pay to buy the house a new washing machine.

anyway. the interview went ok. wasnt as bad as i would have expect. didnt panic at all. no sweat. but i really wish i could get this job. it sounds really fun!!!

but may have blew it when they asked what was my weaknesses... like hello???? totally wasnt prepared for that at all. i dont even know my strenghts are an i was on and on blabbling on my leadership opportunities... "leadership" shanny my dear, is not in your blood at all. weaknesses??? i actually told them i slur when i speak to authority... like what is my freeking problem?????????????????? i just FIRED myself on that spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they need people to call people and i am not going to be hired...........

i (hope i) may be working in the infocomm development athourity of singapore. yes people... a GOVT "ministry". if i do get a job here, think what it will do to the rest of my resume in the future. besides, it seems really fun. ill have to call up weird people and adapt to be a high class sophisticated loan shark. just that this time there is no money involved but tonns of surveys!!!!! so fun... for once... people will have to obey me!!!

i really do hope i will get this job. pay i donno at all. but it is 9-6, 5 times a week job, with occasional OT. i get to do both customer service and admin at the same time.

no irritating sales or waitressing.
and i can wear what i want to work!

think temp job will have to contribute CPF.... if it does, so cool... ill be saving up for my old age earlier then i would expect. ill be a little richer by 60. but ill be left behind with 80% of pay. then still have to pay the recruiting agency. then left with i donno how much. then ill still be broke unless they pay me $1 000 000 an hour. (eat shit man)

i hopt they'll hire me.
i hope i can start soon.
i NEED THE MONEY!!!!!!!!

one busy woman

the past week have been otherwise occupied. wadding in town to shop, down to raffles place for interview, then to town for another interview. and everytime i reach home at weird slotted timings that i would have been in bed if it was a normal school day.

think i am going to enjoy myself and keep myself ABAP until i get my assignment, which i hope will be soon. i need the money. give me another few days in town an i may end up having to declare myself broke. i dont want to be that broke.

was at funan and this house have finally gotten a new computer. it is arriving on Wed. yeah... ill have bout half a week to use my new com before i have to get crackin to work. my new com has wireless network. that means that i can get a computer/laptop for my room and it will be able to run on cable. that is so cool!!!

feet hurt

just went for a job interview today. paddled over to raffles place with 3 inches. up millions of stairs and down tones of slopes. think me feet NUA already. aching like mad. very long never wear my 3 inches.

think it will start after this week. when the woman calls me. and she BETTER. i will start ASAP. got really no money left in bank account. desperately want $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$44

You are a WEDF--Wacky Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you a Menace to Society.

Well, whether you're actually a menace depends on how you choose to channel your energies. You chew your fingers and have an addictive personality. Properly guided, you can be enormously productive--otherwise you run amok, stir up trouble, and generally have a hell of a good time.

To your friends, you are a source of relentless entertainment. You often get into trouble, but you almost always find a way out. You are strangely popular and feed off others' energy. You live hard, seize the day, and although your more sober friends would like to see you settled down, you generally have fewer regrets and better memories than they do. Your tenet is that, at the end of the day, one regrets only what one didn't try. You are right.

You could benefit from outside help in balancing your highs and lows. Or perhaps cutting back on the caffeine.

Money Problems

ok... shanny's gotta find a job (thanks Cia for the reminder) i have offically no more money left. bout $50 to last me till the end of the month. i have burned a hole in my pocket in just two days going to town myself. offically spent and pledge bout $700 in TWO DAYS. there goes my allowances and i am so broke i HAVE TO GET A JOB LIKE NOW!!!

I need lobang.

i know... you people must be staring at my like i am some freek from the 18 century. i know i should not spend so much, but i cant help it. $700 in two days is utterly ridicules. but when you put shanny in town with an ATM card... the S is history. i know..... i even dug up ALL my savings.

we shall call it an investment

hey and i am still thinking of buying another bag to add to this wierd assemble collection of mine. i need money, but you know what??? i am too lazy!!!!! shanny is FOREVER LAZY!!!

desperate for an apple

i NEED a laptop to gain self satisfaction. i have been eyeing an apple notebook for so long. besides, i can get it at 25% off. i have been constantly visiting the website and today, i went down to the apple store at Borders.

i feel so lost without a computer. the one at home is not even working properly and i get so pissed off i just want to throw the mouse into the moniter. IF i had a laptop that wholey belongs to me... then i can buy my Sims 2 and play my Diablio 2 for as long as i want without having louis to nag me off the com.




the Ibook and the powerbook. powerbook is a good $1000 more expensive then the Ibook. but it has better graphic acceleration and firmer keyboard. i think the Ibook looks DAMN NICE. all sleek and white and bullet proof. so if a robber intends to rob you while you are using the Ibook, just slam it on him head and you will get a dead robber and a working notebook and NO DENT!!!

the Ibook looks so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the 14 inch is (3.42*32.3*25.9cm) weighing at 2.7kg $2388 $1791
the 12 inch is smaller a bit and weighing 2.2kg $1848 $1386
powerbook 12 inch is (3*27.7*21.9cm) weighing 2.1kg $3088 $2316
powerbook 15 inch is (2.8*34.8*24.4cm) weighing 2.6kg $3788 $2841

i am so totally in love. waiting for the apple shop at J8 to open so i can go take a closer look. need to find out if i can use it in U before i get it. later i buy already then find out that cannot use wireless network in school. but MY Ibook is really gorgeous...

investment

i am putting $550 of my money into this one
hope it turns out well
maybe ill become a big star next time
welcome your next freelance actress

MOVIE!!!

isolation shopping

yeah. finally manage to do some shopping alone. i was SO BORED at home in the morn i finally decided to pull myself out out bed and travel down to town. alone and happy. orchard is so pretty, the smell of clothes and shoes can revive all unwaken cell juice and spur the sleepy shanny to one whole day of excitement and... slashing of atm card.

i slashed the poor card so many times today my wallet is full and hamburger thick with receipts. money here money there... money no where to be seen. happily spent bout $60 on weird stuff. i am so broke now i dont think i have enough money to last me till the end of december.

used to think i will get a job in January but i am so BORED at home i just want something to do. i have been trying to type my resume the whole morning and untill now, i have nothing impressive. think the moment they read my resume, they are just going to trash it and send it into the shredding machine. but somehow i really do hope that the countless leadership positions i have in my entire schooling life is worth while.

EVERYONE, and i meanEVERYONE has their hair dyed

i feel like this black sheep in the middle of a rainbow. everyone around me has blond streeks, brown highlights, red lowlights, totally NOT BLACK HAIR i feel so left out. the whole world suddenly seems so colourful and my life is still black jet.

everyone i know has hydrogen peroxide-ed hair. church, school, cedar, raffles. i am the only black NATURAL HEAD in my crowd. it is straighter but not colored laden at all.

would really wish to get it done, i will... but SOON.......
besides
shanny has no money
shanny has no job
shanny has spoilt hair

i simply NEED SOME DYE!!!!!!!!!!!

need to get a job

hey... go lobang anot??? if not this poor woman on the other side of this blog will have to start filling out resumes and try posting it out like fliers. think i may degrade to selling myself. so cheapo. everyone has gotten a job somehow. if i cant get myself a job by january, i may simply just resort to geylang or something.

come on pple. get ur booties working
find shanny a job!!!!!!!!!

let the pain in my legs go away

in heels the whole day.
feels great to be tall but vainity hurts.

bye bye frizzy hair

i finally decided to rebond my mane. there is no more frizzy hair for me. hello nice straight STARIGHT hair. after much thought i decided to drag myself down to the cheapest salon there in in bishan and DO IT. cheapest still $150. but lucky it is with treatment and haircut. if not, ill just go sue the Singapore hair salon ministry (if there is such a thing) and ask them to return me my hair rebate.

my hair now is so soft and silky. can go do dove or herbal essence advert. cannot pin or tie for at least one week. it is SO SOFT that it keeps sliding down my eyes and then i suddenly become VIOLET (think incredibles) i am so pretty now. just praying really hard that the out growth will not make me look like i have two heads. i want my soft and silky hair to last forever without paying extra.

sat 3++ hours at the cold and hard seat trying very hard not to fall asleep. happily read 16 chapters of book. i did it at the ex- Flames salon. hair straighten and flatened out. now i have to wait one week before i got for ultimate colour. thinking of colouring something drastic. can you see me in -

blue???
red???
blond???
purple???

who cares man. when i go dye then ill decide what colour i want. really want to do two tone dye but shanny no "kaching". finally got my hair something.

hey people

this is my first proper entry ever since the invigilator said "pens down" i have never been so happy in my entire life to hear that two magical word. "pens down" would mean "hello life" i have been waiting and waiting for that very day to come since one whole years ago. i will finally have a proper break and go to slackers paradise.

the moment i finished my beautiful A levels. i am away in sentosa for a three day camp. so mentally and physically tired, i just want to sleep and slack for another day or so. my shoulders ached from the heavy bag i had to lug there.

this is the first time a camp was so slack. since when do you see waking up time as 9am??? slack camp is what i need to unwind. sentosa has so many peacocks you cant even sleep in peace. at 4 am in the morn they walk down the hill to the campsite and honk all the way. then the crows "awwwk" all day long. but for the sun and the sand... why not???

just returned from camp
finally a time to rest
super tired
