random tots

Xmas had just past and new year is just around the corner.
Come to think of it, it is quite scary. time just zoomed away in a blink of the eye.
I remember the time when i went to SP's yr 1 orientation. Everything seemed so new, so alien.
Soon to come, to help out at the JAE for the 2008 batch, and then convocation.

From a freshie to an old girl.... 百感交集。。。

Goodbye to my past, hello to 2008 and the future.

Are we always so emo at this time of the year?

Whats installed for us in the future? Will we be a better person? Will we be able to overcome all obstacles?

I have the fear. Who will stand by me?

xmas eve party

Had decided to blog about the xmas chevron party yesterday. but went blog hopping 1st. guess what? princess 4 had already blogged bout it, with all the pictures... and i only sent it to her a few hours before. i hereby declare princess 4 the knight of Efficiency! (erm... is it the king who usually bless the knight? well, whatever...)

The girls: 是我们的头太大,还是帽子太小?


The guys: 超级脸比脸!我们像不像 ninja turtles?


Why not we merge to form a new party? we can call ourselves the... the...为什么我左想右想,都想不到一个好组名?Santa, give me strength and more mind power!

以上如有雷同,纯属巧合。。。

*PS: i am still laughing over the exchange of the presents
(ie if you know what i am indicating about).

Hatey

I just hate behaviours of some people.


Hate people who lean against the poles of trains. dont he have brains to know how many people can actually hold onto that 1 pole on the train? how many more commuters can fit into the cabin? Releate them with eel, no backboner. pls, use your BACKBONE to think


Hate people who smoke. They dont want to live? Fine! kill yourself, not innocent people. Hate walking past bus stations, these no brainers will always so strategically locate themselves there. 2nd hand smoke causes more damage. pls, use your LIFE to think


Hate people who blast their music on trains. They think the entire cabin belong to them. Sometimes i really want to give them my umbrella - "go dig your ears man!" will not mind if its just soft music. but not as if i am at a countdown party. pls, use your EARS to think


i am NOT supposed to hate people, am i ?

Its been a long time since i update. well, life's as usual. but went to FHS open house today with my mum and brother- for p6 students. saw mr go. 1st thing he asked was "were you the 1st batch?"


saw mdm lee. she immediately called out my name. just one word "facinated".


watched the concert. well, CO played 2 pieces. it was only until the 2nd piece, mambo no 5 that amazed me. good tempo, reminded me of masuri, where we all have to shout.


then just the usual, dances, band, choir, ncc drummers.....


a must to highlight the performance by wushu boys. it was so damn wow. it was not wushu at all but rather, like aerobics. i thought wushu should play with swords and be stylo milo? instead, they used basketball, bounced and roll them all over their bodies. my god! i thought i am watching 综艺大哥大。a great disappointment. dont even dare to let my brother join.


overall, ok... but well, still have room for improvement when compared with the 1st 2 batches... (hello juniors, your seniors are way better)


saw CO's conductor zhou. called out to him and conversation as follows:
jm: 周老师
zhou: (你玩什么乐器?
jm:笛子。我 SYF 是给你指挥的。洪湖水。。。
zhou:你现在在哪里读书?
jm: SP 最后一年
zhou: 这证明我老了. 你为什么在这里?
jm: 弟弟选学校
zhou: 叫他选华乐
jm: 对lor! 让他给你磨练磨练。
zhou: 不知道为什么辅华的学生都不够放。。。
jm: 谢老师好吗?
zhou: 两年前就没在这里教了。
(wanted to ask more, but my phone rang)
zhou: 我先上去了。有空打电话给我


ok..... but i dun have his no.... suddenly felt emo. din have the opportunity to chat more with zhou to tell him mambo no 5 is fab. its great to see and catch up with the people i used to cross paths with. 天下没有不散的宴席。 its always on these occassions when you suddenly realise that time really flies and memories starts pouring.

outing

161007: outing cum gathering with wu gong zhu bang - name thought out by Prin4. although its a bit tough to gather all tgr cuz sometimes some have tests, some cannot make it, me working etc... but it just feels (present tense) good to meet them all.

ate long john, took neoprints x2, watched Resident Evil: Extinction with bang zhu and Prin3.

our ICs were checked as REvil is NC16. nvr checked IC before. but i think is because bang zhu dont look as if she is already 19. i felt like puking at some scenes. forgot which, but just felt my digestive juices flowing upwards to my throat. overall, good visuals.

nvr realise that i had left my specs on the neoprint machine till REvil started. luckily the shop din close after the movie and some kind soul had placed them on the counter. phew! at least i still have some luck afterall.

Prin2 & Prin3 bought me a massager as belated prezzy. that is what i really need! but need 4 extra big batteries. so cant use them for now. but i really lol @ the message on the card. hahah... shh.... i know, u know ok le... dun tell others! hahaha...

meeting up with them really drove my blues away. hope i can attend the next bang hui! =D

i miss...

jm works in school everyday. but still, she misses school. she misses the times she can slack in the library, misses the times rushing datelines to projects with her mates almost everyday. misses the times trying her best to figure out how to do financial stuff. misses the times during study breaks to study @ her own time own target, misses the times having meetings for cca stuff...

jm is slow, she admits. she can only perform when she does things slowly. that is how her brains function and register. this is her style for the past 18 years, oh no, should be 19... she loves her style. she cant work in an area where everything is aggressive. and worse still where nobody wants to guide her along.

3.5 mths more to go till the end of her suffering. 14 more weeks? she will soon collaspe. soon. she knows it. she dun even have enough time to talk to her family. she loves her family. she dun want them to worry.

working environment affects her greatly. she hates ppl who smile and talk nicely to their own staff infront of guests and when the guests leave, they turn to their usual self, scolding ppl away.

jm worked in a manufacturing company during her vacation as an accountant cum hr person. ppl there are nice. she was happy there. her 1.5mths seemed so short to her. she enjoyed herself so much and did so well that even the hr boss said they were fortunate to have her around. till now, she still miss the ppl there.

to all who think studying is a sucky business, i can tell you something out there can be worse a million / trillion (whats greater than trillion?) times. jm knows cuz jm is doing some sucky business in a place she loves. so contradicting can that be?

To Jiamin, From Jiamin

Dear Jiamin,

知道太多未必是好。。。
知道越少
烦恼越少。。。

日子要过得好
心不要燥

人心总有几点好
搞好人际很重要

不要一直呱呱叫
不然友人都往别处跑

什么是校花校草?
其实台下的某一个人才是我会去想拥抱

不管工作多糟糕
只要有家人和朋友生活就美妙!

Love,
Jiamin

When i reached the bus stop, i was really depressed cuz before that, had an itp meeting with long kang and chih wee. i really hated what i am doing now... felt really down. suddenly, saw linda and chou meng with a cake and candle walking towards me. they really came @ the right time man! i told them" 在我最难过的时候,你们出现了”. then chou meng said something that enlightened me. I realised that no matter how bad itp stuff are, i still have my family and friends to be with. yar! why sad bout itp? Linda taught me to look @ e bright side of life. yup i appreciate what the 2 of them had done :)

CW: may i know who is on the line?
JM: JM
CW: Oh! i am ur lecturer!

yesterday

Retail therapy with charis yesterday. walked for so long, only bought a pair of shoes. regretted not buying that pair i saw @ imm. since many many months ago, i wanted a small bag which i can carry it even to nearby shopping malls. all i have are big ones more suitable for school use. where can i get smaller bags?

the more you want to buy it, the more difficult for you to find it. it always happen to me.

bid goodbye to my old hairstyle - well, almost. i now have shorter hair with some fringe. my old hairstyle just dun have the shape. listened to the advice from the hairdresser, i am now trying to change my parting. @ home, i look like a xiao char bor, with pins all over my hair. i pin even i sleep and in the morning, i found the pins all over my bed. how aggressive can i get?

I want go shop again !!!!!!!!!!!!

"BOSS IS LIKE A DIAPER -
ALWAYS ON THE BUTT AND FULL OF SHIT"


Had a small ops meeting with long gang and betty. long gang taught us costings when i suddenly said "v stress leh". then had a one to one talk with him. he said i can just leave a note to ask whatever i duno. then after meeting, went to do more quotations. then he suddenly appeared and said "JM, you had 1/2 day off on thur rite? sat (tmr) off for you too. i appeared stunned. but i m really jumping for joy inside me!!!

Glad today went successfully. thanks to Jmei who bought polar lunch for me. thanks to Jmei again and Bhui for waiting for me to finish my work to go home tgr. Even elephant said "why u all so wierd de? must go home tgr de..." love my itp mates. and we all agree to 共存亡。

Jmei was so cute. we all rush across the road before traffic light turn red. then she said" 很奇怪 hor,为什么来 office 和回家的心情那么不一样。。。"

day 2

Day 2 of itp and i ald witnessed 2 wars in office.

all names are nicks i gave to real life person in case i am libel of anything.

Ant and elephant gave us a briefing about the format of doing quotations. suddenly Fifi stormed out, raised her voice to Ant,"u brief,brief no use one! u must let them do hands on, they make mistakes then they can learn!" Ant repiled," Fifi, i want them to have a fixed format of quotations." dingdongdingdong..... the 4 of us interns kept really quiet. it was really an eye opener. Fifi is Ant's boss... woohoo! really shiok to see that.

when it was time to knock off, fifi asked yxiang to check the tenders. but it was not yxiang's job. then angel pauline argued to fifi that yxiang must not stay back just to do full time staff's work. angel pauline also asked us to wait for yxiang, to back him up to go off tgr. yup. yxiang managed to escape from fifi's fist. angel pauline is such a darling.

looking forward to sep11 where we 4 will be working in the travel lab in school.


ANT AGREED TO LET ME TAKE 1/2 DAY OFF FROM WORK ON THUR!!! YIPPIE!!!
JIE JIE MEI MEIs, LETS GO SHOPPING N MOVIES!!!!!

Tears . Dramas . TV

I really din know a drama can turn my eyes into a tap. turned on-off again and again with tears. only angel lover has the power to. usually for dramas, tears will just well up. period. but this drama flooded my eyes again and again,not giving enough buffer time to evaporate, then flooded again. so tears just dripped out. its the first time a drama left me with a blocked nose even after it ended.


the actors really acted well. good storyline. why local dramas dun have the power to make me cry like this? but it really felt good after crying. and i duno why, i felt my degree went up after crying.


recently, 我被两个人电到。one is 江承熹 from 宝贝父女兵。din know he can be so gd looking with specs on. oh my.... SPECS!!!! (ahem! ah wan gg disney... must tell her to fedex some gd looking ang mo with specs to me when she's there. WANYI U BETTA SEE THIS ARH) the other one is benjamin from campus superstar. i nvr bother to watch CSS till yesterday's final. benjamin's vocal is great!!!! he opened his mouth to sing then i was glued to his performance totally. and he lost to some xiao d...(alrite, shall not complete this sentence)


Qn: wad can you infer from this entry?
Ans: TV is just so important to someone who had just finished her exams....

Crap.crap.crap

150807 CEM paper
i wrote a word in my script. i strike it off. then wrote again. strike it off again. i wrote "sitted". then "sitted" again. then i realised it should be "seated" (ie. delegates could be SEATED in between participants...). my english is getting from bad to worse. or rather, from worse to worst.


170807 SM paper
Came up with "JM's Law of Crap".
Everyone was saying they crap through the paper. i did too! i was so enlightened after that wow-tad-was-so-crappish paper that i said " when you CRAP, u have to CRAP with meat. without the CRAB meat, its just an empty shell".

JM's Law of Crap (c) : potential nobel prize winner... (this . is . crap . too)

random

Too many things to blog, too little time. Have the urge to revive my blog so here's some random stuff. will blog meaty stuff after exams...
  • IAF's down. Not too much lobang in my script. in fact, there's only 1 which i dun have enough time to finish. a bit of qn marks here and there. out of desperation, squeeze out some figures. i dun have enough time to finish my last part. but woei ling, sitting beside me just walked off when i have 2 more qns left. SUPER!!!! heard her press her calculator fast a few times. then in the blink of the eye, she stood up and walked off!!! hhaha... i wonder how she did it? i will ask her... haaha
  • oh ya! walked to exam venue with qin when i saw yy. he told us score 40 mks can ald. was he hinting tad the paper was difficult? just need 40 mks to pass can liao... how could he got eyes see no tarzan? how can we just aim for 50? we must aim for 55!
  • end of paper, 8+. walked home. dark and smoky cuz its the 1st day of....
    papa wanted to fetch me, but since i am halfway home, i walked home myself... and with the tent for ppl to pray to the ..., a bit creepy lah... i did nth wrong, so not scared...yeah!

To:Sheh

Wed was Sheh's last lesson with us... or rather, it should be our last lesson with Sheh. din realise it was the last lesson until Sheh said "our karma exhausted le". just four simple words, but impactful. yes, dun think we will get to see Sheh anymore. dun think he will appear before us in the exam hall. Well, he might, i hope.

really glad to have him for gbe. he has the power to make something boring to super interesting, and funny.

some quotes from Sheh that i remembered:

"Behaviour shapes Habit.Habit shapes Character. Character shapes Destiny. Destiny shapes Legacy."

"Detatchment is an illusion" (to prove his pt that everything is connected in some ways)

"I dont know why ppl keep antiques. you walk down the road, pick any stone, its an antique ald, u know?"

"When ppl ask me why i dont teach finance modules since i was in the finance industry for 8 years, i tell them that sporeans are ald experts in making $. I want to teach ppl how to live to be a better person, to know the different cultures..."

Will miss his so-called stories for early birds.
Duno why he said i look like ms wang... but v funi...
Really felt appreciated when he wrote a good in the political part of my report. felt that whatever i had done was worth my time and effort.

when Qin said "i will miss your lesson" to Sheh after class ended, Sheh replied
"we cannot always stay @ one pt. We must always look forward"
(Another statement to set you thinking...)

May our paths cross again...

Emo Words

Tears welled up in Jiamin's eyes when she watched Angel Lover. Had recorded the drama weeks before, but no time to watch till Friday.

Was touched by these:

"生离死别让生命显得圆满和珍贵, 但那并不能减少我对生离死别的恐惧。。。"

"时间,对天使来说是没有任何意义的。一旦任务完成了,就得离开。。。"

These are some emo words. But yet it truely reflects our life. Treasure what we have. Try to smile in all adversities cuz 大雨过后就有晴天。

Jiamin feels emo...for no particular reason...no reason at all... she tries to smile... trying...

Moon N Star

star (left) , moon (right)

Night of july 17:
Saw the moon and a star side by side in the sky. seldom get to see something like this. i am always facinated by the solar system. makes me realise that we are just mere humans... tiny humans...humans who are always not satisfied with what they already had...always longing for more...

hmm... i wonder what will the moon say to the star???

*PS: why do i feel a tinkle winkle bit of loneliness with a sight like this???

Agenda, Phone calls, People

What an exciting day, today.

in school:

had my gem test today. small talk style. really enjoyed it.all 5 of us were really enthu about the topic bout single parenthood and abortions. taufik even drifted to discuss about religion. after the test, he was so worried that he had touched on smt sensitive that he asked me if he had said smt wrong during the test. i assured him that he did not. hmm.. a worrier...

Ben chou, my fav lecturer, told us a long string of emo stuff. how he liked our lect grp, to know what you want in life, we inspire him and stuff. although i duno if its real or not, but it felt good to hear all that coming from him.

Went grabbing of SP's national day observance tickets. never had to chance to go before, so want to go see see feel feel. its been a long time since i celebrated national day in school. miss the concerts and stuff. its my last yr in sp, so must go peng chang. dun care if it will be boring. yeah!!!!

bought a bag from the retail fair. was given a huge plastic bag. din the sales person watch live earth? save the environment, use smaller plastic bag.

on my way back home:
was taking the escalator down from the platform when suddenly the station suddenly broadcast the "if you are holding bulky items, please use the lift"msg. did they see me with such a big bag, so they play it? ok... its my imagination...

saw chou meng who was going to school while i was going home. he saw me with that big bag and said: woah so big bag. whats inside? a body?" still forever a lamer. but i psycho him go buy cuz cheap...

Things happen for a reason

2 things happened today which made me realise that:

  1. Things do happen at the same time. "Coincidence" does exist. Really felt as if they were planned before hand - as in someone has already planned your fate / destiny / all that will happen around you.
  2. Time makes people forget. Things that you felt strongly in the past, do not feel the same now. It happened before me and i dont feel the way i thought i will feel. i realise that i am not thinking about it as much. Maybe i do not have the time. Maybe its projects that kept me busy. I guess its a good thing.

A chance lost, is a chance lost

CYA Appreciation Ceremony

Fri 220607

went to the airport for CYA Appreciation with a bad, sian 1/2 mood.had to sit in alphabetical order.nearby where i was sitting were wenbin and tiancai, my IMF kakis.i was feeling bad, so i sat there quietly. until wenbin turned to tiancai and said,"很久没有看到 jiamin了 hor,不懂她怎样了。then tiancai was like yarlor... then i turned and smiled to them and started chatting

all of us near him were forced to clap loudly when kelly went on stage to receive her cert, when he shouted" OOI! clap leh!".so glad he broke the ice, if not, i would have missed all that
laughing.

then marcus made a speech on stage. i ald labelled him as joker after singing  千里之外 in the transit area during IMF. so when he was so serious on stage, i canut tahan, and i TRIED REALLY hard not to laugh,but i just couldnt,so i giggled silently - twice, during rehearsal and the actual event. i know i am bad. so long nvr see them and yet they still ask"where's your brother? tad jiaw...why nvr come?" from fri cya to imf, to this ceremony... and they still say. wads funi was when i saw marcus eating alone during buffet.

jm: why you eating alone?
m: 不知道为什么我的朋友都离我而去。
jm: 一定是你讲的 speech 不好听吗!
m: (give tad stunned face) OOI!!!

@ buffet, i laugh @ the all time joker ben - the way he ate blackies and whities. with ben, jason and scor around, i couldnt stop laughing.

chatted with peili, which made me feel better.

then met linda,charis @ tm.bought a top. so feel a bit happier.

Really thanked these people for making me laugh. although it may be the last time i see some of these ppl, but they are all part of my good memories :)

我当时就是来不及伸出手,所以错过了。can i retreive it back?


" To regret, is the most foolish act..."

i WAS a fool ... i AM still a fool

how i slack my day away

went to school to meet my ppl. then went to mac to eat, chat and slack. went home, bath. sat near the balcony, enjoying the breeze while chatting with my mum and bro. we were practically making silly remarks at smt serious - my bro's holiday assignment.

then there's a small voice which i assume it belonged to my angel: "jiamin, mst is next mon. go study! dun waste time."
then a devil's voice: "heck it! ur so tired from sch, have a rest 1st."
i struggle a bit.
then i walked to my room, open my notes, hold my pencil, read the first slide,"its chicken feet" then 2nd slide....then i slept infront of my table.
i only woke up when i receive a msg
i practically did what both my angel and devil told me to do - i study, i rest
ok.... i guess my little devil is still celebrating his triumph over the angel.
most importantly, my pencil was still pointing to slide 2 when i woke up to see the msg on my phone.

wow.... tad . was . so . amazing

很想你

很想你

你在哪里 这些年来如意不如意
还快乐 还单纯 还美丽
时光如何对你?
我在这里人海中的一座岛屿
很平静风平浪静
只除了深夜里回忆会疯狂来袭
我很想你你知道吗
如果可以就让我再见你
美好微笑清澈眼睛
好确定那持离只毁了我一个而已
我很想你听见了吗? woo~
这是唯一我无解的困境
那些过去不肯过去
不管我后来遇见多少人
只能叹息
都不是你
我只想爱你
我在哪里?你会不会偶尔好奇
有没有曾经怀疑
我说我会忘记只是种好意

Rainbow

it rained yesterday morning. i saw a rainbow!




It covered the entire horizon - as far as i can see. it felt really good to see a rainbow early in the morning. it makes ppl feel hopeful and happy. i shot it with my cam to capture it forever.







Love this pic the most. it seems like the rainbow is showering its colours on the flats.
There is this saying that goes if you dig in the ground where one end of the rainbow is, you will find a pot of gold. i wonder if there is a pot of gold in that block.
we seldom see rainbow. that is why we treasure it when it appears, although its a simple scientific logic as to why it appears. for things that is always around us, we take them for granted. just like the sun. we always blame the sun for the hot and humid weather. but without the sun, we will not be able to see the beautiful rainbow. are we taking the people around us for granted?
生命就像彩虹 - 短暂。能不能精彩的过一生,全靠自己和生命中出现的人事物。

my worries

3 down, 1 more to go... left with TLE proj, which i have no idea how to start. my laptop has been working hard this weekend. my determination has been growing strong...hope i will figure out what to do soon.

have decided to include bird park as my top 3 choices. guess my chance of attatching there will be quite high since i think birdpark is not a v hot choice. dealing with birds are better than dealing with humans. Stop dreaming jiamin... in the end u will also be going to deal with humans... but I hope can find 神雕  there...
emm... if I work in zoo, can find 白马 -- 王子。。。
work in sentosa can find 沙滩阳光男孩。。。not bad, not bad.

hotel is still my most preferred choice.i have always wanted to work in a hotel... 就听天由命吧!

i dun worry as much as to which intern company i will be posted to. but i do worry if i am able to juggle both work and studies...is it too early to worry now?

my happenings

went family dinner @ sakura clementi on vesak day. all my uncles,aunties and cousins went. as i was the only girl there among all the cousins - and youngest, i listened to the guys chat about NS. 1 had finished NS, in the workforce currently. 1 ending his NS soon, 2 going NS tis year. i asked the cousin still in NS if he saw anything that he shouldnt see in NS. he said he guessed he were the lucky few who did not. then he started sharing stories, like the bed will shake if someone hid pork under his bed, the "uncle and xiao mei mei" in tekong, dining area that messed up itself in school 1, sounds of children running from above an office, how the guys will go toilet tgr cuz they are scared to go alone, how bung mates saboed a guy by hidding under his bed and shook the bed to scare him, etc... from NS ghost stories, we shared school ghost stories, both NYP and SP. the cousin who was an ex sp-ian din know about the sp stories, so i shared with them. haha...i simply recycled my stories. they were the same stories i told the campers during the le we ro camp. ok... my stories also 有限公司!

we shared all the food. when someone took a shellfish lookalike kind of thing, one cousin exclaimed " i dun like to eat things that look like organism"... tads kinda funny...

i enjoyed the gathering cuz we seldom meet. usually just once a year during CNY. should have this kind of gathering often...

parrot - goong OST

i found this song!!!!! parrot by howl. song from goong. love it!!!! although i dont understand what is he singing about, but the tune is nice

i was out chilling, spending $

Went to watch pirates with dusha, jo yesterday. facinated by the visuals. love the pebble crabs VS jack sparrow and the part where cartina (issit??? canut remember her name) created the whirlpool with ships firing here and there. shiok! love the part where the different pirates from all over the world gather together, pull their canvas up to unite against the dutchmen. 大家都从不同的地方来,说不同的语言,但都有一样的目标 -- 真好!

hi ho hi ho... burglers and thieves shall not die.... (its politically & socially wrong, but nice song)

the pirates formula = titanic + lord of the rings + harry potter

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

went jogging then shopping with qin today. bought a pair of ah mah shoes. had always love this kind of shoes but dared not buy cuz scared of blisters. but i bought that pair just b'cuz chih wee say must wear covered shoes for presentation. I LOVE THE SHOES!!!! so blisters, pls dun come. bought a pair of teddy bear earrings too...yeah!!!! we both have some 收获!

walked past a donut shop with orange box @ marina(shant name it), quite famous. saw the long Q, facinated. dun understand why ppl Q for it. i din eat before, so i am in no position to comment. but these ppl are following the trend blindly. it just like some local bakery selling the once famous chicken floss bun. long Q in the past. now??? reaching the maturity (declining) stage??? you wont see me Q-ing for those donuts in the near future, but i wouldnt mind if ppl would Q for me....

chat, chat, chat

met up with loh yesterday. ate @ jp foodcourt aka kopitiam. we finally found a table and i went to buy my food 1st. when i came back, a granny with her 2 grand daughters shared our table. then loh went to buy food. the little girl shared the bench with loh. when he went to get food, she took up the entire bench. then the granny said"妹!坐进去一点,等一下 uncle 没有位坐 ! "when i heard that, i started laughing to myself. loh is so young, but ppl call him uncle!!!!


when he came back, i said jokingly to the little girl "uncle 回来了!”

then a string of conversation started:


loh: (duno whats going on) 什么?
jm: 刚才 auntie 叫小妹坐进去,要给 uncle 坐
loh: (turned to that little girl): 我是 gor gor leh,不是 uncle

jm: (laugh till stomache)
granny: (looked up and also laugh)



OMG!!! that funny loh!!!!



when we talked about the high staff turnover of his company (i worked part time during my last vacation), i asked him how long he is planning to work there. was surprised by his reply:
"resignation letter 已经 type 好了,就差 date 和 signature." he is now attending a course for his next financial job. from engineering to finance. what a big switch.




it was great chatting with him. he always look on the bright side. whenever i see that thing as tough, will tell me, "can one, can one". although i know its easier said than done, it just feels better to be assured...


saw lionel @ mac. chatted with him.he just graduated from sp. just had his convocation. going NS.... just feels that time passes by too quickly. we were always the 2 left on the train after our CYA days so we always chat bout those 有的没的. now, he had graduated, i am now in my last year. soon, it will be my turn for convocation.


人生匆匆忙忙地过,能和朋友聊起往事,叫人又欣慰又感慨。。。


希望大家的前途一片光明 :)

club matters

sad that keith will be leaving the club. i used to be judge him a lot. but soon, i realised that he is really capable. Matthew VS keith - i support keith more. things will not be this serious if its not due to men's ego. why cant they sit down and talk things out?

i thought i can just leave all club matters alone and go mia. but i realise i cant. club mean a lot to me. the ppl there, how we struggle to put everything together.

一日为 club,终身为 club....
(tads a good way to put it... but “终身”??? its only an analogy)


does that mean that i will be stressed out when peili said"有你在,我就放心的丢给 club service了"? -_-"

Le We Ro Camp

Le We Ro camp ended on sunday. knew a lot of ppl from leo, welfare and to bond with my own rotaract club members.

Nite walk was held on the first night. sheryl and i were IC of taking care of the campers after their night walk. The starting point was @ FC6. when Andrew told us to walk to FC5, i gave an unsure look. guess i was scared. the carpark was really dark. Andrew then provided us with a lightstick each. as mine was red, i felt i was carrying some kind of bloody thingy. He was so nice to tell us weihan was hiding somewhere in between pillars. so when the 2 of us walked down to FC5, i repeated the same sentence"weihan, jiamin here.. i am going to FC5... pls dun scare us hor..." Then sheryl and i heard a "chuk" sound made from the lips. i asked"weihan?" then "chuk" again. I confirmed it was him and said thanks for signaling and not scaring us. we relied on the light sticks we had and those on the ground to FC5. The experience was quite horrifying.

The campers had to wait for all the pairs to complete the walk. sheryl received a msg to ask us to entertain the campers. so after thinking hard, i told them some ghost stories. Told them about why there issnt T13 in sp. told them why a FOC night walk had to be cancelled as a girl saw something she shouldnt see. told them the yuan ching sec story that FHS' Mr Lee SC told. As majority of the campers were guys, able to hold onto their attention was great. that was the power of ghost stories. i dont know if i had told these stories well, but looking @ their expressions and it was about 3am, it was indeed a hair raising experience.


Slept at 4+ after the night walk. was really tired. i fell asleep while looking after the belongings of the members while they took their bath.

prog for 2nd day were games and more games. little kids came and played with the huge, sp da ge ge campers. these little kids and da ge ges really bonded after a soccer session. what was touching was the part where little boys get to choose their big ge ge partner for games. can see a lot of potential good daddies. was really touched when these big and small boys sit down to have lunch together. some big ge ges were kind enough to buy ice creams for their little boys. but some FORCED their ge ges to buy... hahah...

enjoyed playing captains ball. Comm VS campers. havent been playing captains since sec. was hit on my face. luckily din disfigure myself.hahaha

Din stay for the 2nd nite. and i was labelled "betrayer" by hadi.

3rd day -- amazing race. gald they din cancelled it. tads the highlight of the entire camp. was stationed @ fort canning. teamed up with erna and hadi. hadi, a camping pro taught us a lot of camp songs. They reminded me of sec 3 camp -- so fun! some teams showed team spirit, while there were others -- shag. too tired, i guess.

everything was great. but i was disappointed that there was no debrief after amazing was over.

post kbox day

I was really v v v tired in school today. felt as if there was dark clouds on my head while dragging my heavy feet to school. too high the previous night singing k, and declaring my love for 汪东城 against dusha's 吴尊. so seriously lack of sleep. nearly dozed of during tutorial, lectures and while on the bus home. had to force my heavy eyes to open all the time... the only time i felt energetic was when Dusha msg me about alvin ng. she said she saw him -- ON A MAGAZINE COVER... omg dusha... tad is so lame can? i wanted to reply, but was too tired, din have the motivation to msg... but to dusha: thanks for waking me up...for a while...


not only was i tired. i was suay too. my slippers snapped while i was on my way to the last lecture of the day.chanted "shit! shit!.."all the way to LT. had to depend on my survival instinct --to look for rubber bands on the floor to slip onto my spoilt slippers so i could still wear them home. well, you can also say i was rather lucky cuz managed to find 2 rubber bands on my way to the LT. luckily bought a pair of new silp-ons during the hols. if not i will not have any shoes to wear to school tmr. so its time to go stock up another pair of spare shoes.

i am a sinner

i admit i am a sinner. i had eaten a slice of chocolate cake - so full of chocolate. how much intake of calories? how much fat to burn? i just love eating chocolate... i am a sinner, am i not?


i am a sinner. how can i not realise that p is having some problems? i have not been too keen to be involved. p is all alone, struggling. i should have known it. i had experienced it before too. i should lend a helping hand. yes, i should.

backstage . preparation . wanyi's bdae

it was wanyi's bdae on fri. had to pretend i din know / forgot all about it. had to let our project grp members sign the card without her knowing. duno if its me or wad, when i turned my head to look at her, she was looking down at my direction. i was thinking to myself "omg... i think she saw us with the card!" but it turned out later that she din.


during lunch, was eating together with her, qin and limin. i suddenly remembered i forgot to bring my cam. but couldent say it to qin directly infront of wanyi, so i msged qin instead. qin saw that and she "haha" out and reminded me that she could use her phone. then peili msged me RE some club matters. wanyi gave that suspicious look and said"jiamin arh... who u msging???" i just acted blur and showed her the word "rotaract". then i said "so who do u think i am msging?" then i imagined what will happen during the celebration later @ lecture and i smiled to myself. that sharp wanyi then said "why are you arm chio-ing"i just said 我有meh? arm chio 做什么?and continue eating my wanton noodle.


during lecture, sat with qin and karl. here's our conversation


Karl: eh.. later u start hor.
JM: (always blur) start wad?
Karl: sing bdae song
JM: huh??? eh... dun wan leh... v 紧张. eh... u guy leh...why push to me?
Karl: aiyah... end of lecture just pom this thing (cake) infront of her can already lah
JM: (thinking hard)
JM: (after sometime in the middle of lecture whispered to qin and Karl) i think later i go ask Chih wee for his mic
Karl: huh? 真的吗?ok!!!! u go!!!
Karl: (started flipping his lecture notes) eh. 6 more slides.
JM: nervous leh...
Karl: (pushed my highlighter) 5 more slides!!!
JM: (pushed highlighter back) eh.... 不要这样 leh... 很紧张
.....
Karl: 2 more!!
Karl: 1 more!!
JM: (SHAKING!!!!!)
JM: (when chih wee finally closed his lecture) dun wan to grab his mic le. too scary...
Karl: woah! u changed your mind within 6 slides



then everything is a mess and happened v quickly... open cake box, light candle, karl went off to stop wanyi from standing, i was left with the cake, passed qin my bag, took that cake box, went towards wanyi, started singing bdae song, qin gave the present, chih wee sang the canto bdae song.........


to think of it now, how do i manage to find 那胆子 to sing infront of the lecture group???

WANYI ARH... ARENT U HONOURED???

shocking . shopping trip

went shopping with dusha.
bought 2 blouses. broke.
officially declared that i have already attained auntiehood.



walked pass a tatoo shop, heard the sound of tattooing. the zzzzzz sound -- goosebumps all over.makes my feet jelly... while dusha was happily looking (sicko)from behind a glass panel, i was a distance away,leaning against a pillar, looking away with legs shaking.


another shop does punk hairstyle, piercing etc...
two male customers were having their heads shaved. think eventually some words would be left on their heads. thought about the eventual msg. i think its "army s*cks"... (THE STATEMENT ABOVE IS JUST A THOUGHT. DOES NOT REFLECT CORRECTLY. THUS, THIS IS AN EXCLUSION CLAUSE. YOU HAVE JUST READ THIS CLAUSE.THIS WRITER IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE. )
it even provide some sort of plastic surgery to balloon one's forehead. i was amazed by the ad pasted on the glass panel. it was stated" are you dateless, having boring life? want to attract girls? try ......"
OMG!!!!!!!!! who came out with this idea??? are you sure this will attract girls??? definitely not me (even if he is wearing specs~~punks dun wear specs, do they?). ok... maybe i am already in auntiehood, so it doesnt appeal...

annoyed

i felt annoyed. just annoyed. dun be childish. what you think is ok doesnt mean its ok to others too. let this be the last time.... i'll just forget about it.

me, the empress???

took this personality test that mingmay sent. and to my surprise, i am the empress card... i am not beautiful nor rich as what was described of the empress card...em... true or not true??? zhun bo??? but the picture of the empress certainly look like a witch...




You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

buffet at TM



i shall upload some pics we took @ TM international family buffet last sat for Dusha. gave it a 7 out of 10 for its food. i am not picky with food, but after tasting those raw jap food, i came to realised that i dun like things that are raw. they turn me off. interior wise, 8.5 out 10. 1st impression, like a posh hotel lobby. fine deco. the four of us, mingmay, linda, charis and i, were just like typical guests in a hotel's restaurant eating buffet, wearing casually, with sandals, shorts and tshirts.ok... dun blame us, we were suppose to go to the beach... although its ex, its worth the experience and the ambiance.




some char pa lang food we took to share together.

nice colour, but dun really like raw things. sushi's still ok
dessert!!!! my fav!!!! oh!!! i forgot to take pics of icecream!!! too bad no chocolate (fondue)corner...


nice and posh interior. just like hotel lobby.



linda and charis


is it charlie's angels? oh!!!! its dusha, linda and jo!!!

让福分延续

Friday the 13. The day i ended my perm job. The day i offically leave my colleagues. The day i offically transformed back to being a student. the day i leave the world of mummies, daddies and the young working adults, back to the teenage world. duno why this feeling pops up.... teenage world is too cold.too selfish. too individualistic.too materialistic.


really want to thank these ppl:

francis. the one who always tong bang me back home so tad i can reach home to watch 7oclock drama.



auntie xiu luan. the one who chats wif me over lunch and takes care of me



fook moi. the one who always ta bao lunch for me



meimei. the self acclaimed best buddy of mine who treat me to fish n co with chengai



aihui. payroll girl who is far better than the HR manager (i m NOT going to miss my HR manager)



ah loh. the young looking guy who dun look like his age, the self acclaimed 帅哥who self-praised "我认第二没有人敢认第一."and will not fail to make me laugh due to his funny remarks and blurness.


others: winnie.chermaine.wangke.simon.security guard uncle(till now i duno his name).auntie bee neo.big james. ah soo.


虽然我只是一个小小的temp,你们真的是太照顾我了。我们可能都没有机会再见面, 但是你们将会是我的美好记忆中的一部分。我们口中都说keep in contact,但是ah loh在他的msg里写的“keep in contact, even though i know it will not be easy...”却一针见血。这就是人生。。。 每天遇到的人,有几个会时常保持联络呢?很多都是hi-bye friends吧. 不过我想有那个缘分相遇并认识就是一种福分。


让这份福分延续吧!但我能做得到吗?

today is the official day i tack my time table for the new sem. mixed feelings. before the time table was out, i looked forward to be back to school. but now, a bit disappointed cuz of some of the assigned lecturers, and of course, a bit of happiness cuz of some lecturers, a handful of sadness cuz my temp job will be ending in a week's time. the staff are really nice ppl and are like a big family, laughter and jokes could be heard... harmony between the executives and production staff. it is nice to be treated like a 小妹妹... whereby you can no big no small when talking to them... hahaha... but in a joking manner. i guess i am really lucky to be able to have the chance to work in such a nice company.


i realised that a lot of ppl, from the nice and responsible security guard to the laminate and QA hourly staff do not know i am just a temp stuff and they all found out coincidently,on the same day. went to the security office to obtain their OT records and at the same time had a small chat with him. he said it was great to know me cuz we are all from HR dept. when i told him i will be leaving next week, he looked shocked and said he was sad to hear that. then in the pantry, met steven the self acclaimed famous QA customer something something (couldnt remember his exact designation). he found out from the finance ppl that i was only a temp and was transferred to HR when he din see me going down to witness the weighing the scrap materials. he even asked me to leave my contact down so that he can ask me out for coffee. then fook moi, the lady whom i always order my lunch from called me to ask me if i am a temp. when i told her i am, she said," orh.... 我就是觉得你那么年轻就出来做工。。。" they are some of the great ppl who have made my days great in Nelco. their remarks and expressions when they learnt that i was only a temp and will be leaving soon 让我觉得感慨,天下真的没有不散的宴席. i admit that there are times i felt sian with the job, but definitely not with the ppl.


i am still a student. going back to school is definite. but i still feel miserable about the fact that i would be leaving them soon ...

cd = 照妖镜

had a nice chat with loh today.asked him why all the tables hang a cd with the shiny side up. this is our conversation:

jm: 为什么每张桌子都挂 cd 的?
loh + jm: 照妖镜。。。 哈哈!!!!
(loh immediately put his face in front of the mirror to 耍帅,started combing his hair)
jm: (pointed to the mirror and him repeatedly) 照妖镜。。。 那你是妖怪 lah!!!!
loh: OOI!!!!!
loh: 这样才看得到从后面来的人. 做什么事就可以 minimise mah!

jm: 为什么那些 tables 就没有呢?
loh: orh... 那些是 QA managemet 的。。。 他们已经是妖怪了所以不用。。。



then my HR mgr joe asked me to do something which aihui said was 为难-ing me... so i immediately shouted to loh, asked him to give me a 照妖镜。(i want to my HR mgr). he quickly ran to me and hang it on my table. YES!!! i joined the trend of having a 照妖镜 infront of my table. but too bad the 照妖镜 sponsored by loh is not too clear to see any 妖魔鬼怪 coming from behind me. still have to my EQ,IQ and acute hearing.................................

realised too much today... heard too much... being too individualistic wont bring one far. thats what i want to say to the 小心眼someone. i dun bad mouth, i just listened. i know who treats me well and who dont. who is correct and who's not. i may just be a small fry, but i try hard... now i reap what i sow and i am proud of my actions. 我问心无愧。。。 我对得起天地良心。。。


最看不起那些自以为了不起的人。。。

VENTING IN ACTION!!!!

I WANT TO VENT MY ANGER DUE TO WORK... SINCE I CANNOT VENT OUT MY GRIEVANCES @ WORK, THIS BECOMES A PLATFORM!!! MY SPEAKERS' CORNER!!!!


its ok for me to hop to HR since finance had employed a perm. since the finance head had offered my desk, my pc to the new perm, so i assume i would say bye bye to all values, figures, numbers, invoices bank statements, bank reconciliation statements etc... but what the hell, still ask me to update the daily sales figures, print shipping reports. HELLO~~!!!! I AM ALREADY WITH HR... WHY U STILL THROW ME UR STUPID FINANCE THINGS???? DUN U HAVE EYES TO SEE I AM ALREADY BUSY SORTING OUT WORKERS' INCOME TAX FORMS AND WORKERS' INFORMATION??? THEY HAVE TO BE DISTRIBUTED OUT SOON OK??? WHY AM I STILL IC OF GOING DOWN TO WITNESS AND TO CALCULATE THE SCRAP MATERIALS THAT THE COMPANY WILL BE SELLING TO THE RECYCLING COMPANY? WHY DIN YOU ASK UR PERM TO DO? WHY DO U INSIST I GO EVEN THOUGH I HAD STRESSED THAT MY HR STUFF IS MORE IMPORTANT? WHY DIN YOU ASK YOUR PERM TO DO? WHY IS SHE THERE FOR? FOR SHOW??? WHY MY HR MANAGER HAD TO BE @ THE DISPOSAL OF THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT?



how i showed "face" to the finance dept which go against my principles:


eg1: ml: jm, can u zap these copies andpass them to me later? (put the stack on my desk)
jm:ok (walked over to the other end to do HR work... assume HR is more impt)
ml: (after sometime -- walked quickly to me... frowned) i already zap them!
jm: ok.........(i din any bit felt i was in the wrong)


eg2: jm: (busily sorting income tax forms)
ca: sorry, jm 你在忙吗?
jm: (forced a smile) 你自己看lor我哪里可能不会忙。。。
ca: 不好意思,我老板叫你做这些,要寄出去的。。。
jm: by 几时要?
ca: 随便 lor ,明天也可以
jm: haha...(sacastically)明天星期六 leh,明天。。。


eg3: ml: can u scan all these into i-drive and change their names accordingly as stated in the list?
jm: er... (eyes slowly shifted to the clock nearby -- 5.20+pm, 10min to knock off time)
ml: oh! u can do them tmr...


i am totally convinced that accounting / finance is not my cup of tea, although i did quite well for these as modules. and i shall not go to the extreme since i think the ppl in my company are not bad as a whole. i shant sterotype....
