It's been a year

2011-10-23T18:43:00.003+08:00

Wow...It's been a year. Since I last blogged...

There was once I heard this over radio...that youngsters hardly blog now. Only more mature people continue to blog regularly now. Hm... Am I growing younger?

But seriously, who will read my blog now? I have forsaken it for almost a year and I bet the readers as well...

Following from my last post, which I commented about my one-month-old job. I actually just completed my one year. Work is definitely ain't easy. Met many downs and comtemplated to give up. But, I have not conquered the task yet! I shall not give up and find a way to conquer the challenge.

After working for a year, I actually gained alot. I sort of understand the difference between writing a marketing plan for a project and doing a marketing plan for a real project. In school, we jus and to plan, plan and plan. I will use the suitable marketing tool, work within a given budget to achieve my marketing objectives. In reality, it is different. You have to execute your marketing plan. While you are writing the marketing plan, you need to think of the execution. You may have the budget to carry out the task, but the task may lead to many complication. It may not be productive carrying out the plan, although you have the means.

I am about to embark on a new challenge. I am going to do freelance marketing for a chinese orchestra. Initially I thought it will be a short term project. But after meeting the person in charge last Friday, I realised it will be a long term commitment. Seriously I am not sure if I can lift up to the expectation. But I am going to try my best before giving up. I hope I can use what I had learned in my job on this new project.

That's all folks. Will get back to this blog soon, to jot down memories for myself. Gotta plan my itinerary for the upcoming taiwan trip with my mother and ah yee soon....

University of Society

2010-11-27T14:51:00.002+08:00

Here I come...University of Society! Please welcome me with open arms!

I have worked for about 1.5 months already. I only can say I'm really busy now.

Working life definitely ain't easy but in some ways I am really lucky. My department is really small. There are only 4 people in the office, including myself. The rest of the departments are in other offices, meaning in their own room. Less people around means less politics I guess, which I felt it's somewhat true because I have work temp job before in a big office areas. However, I have to work across dept and small problems arised. Guess this is just part and parcel of worklife...like what my colleague always tells me...learn to manage these people. =)

So what about my boss? In general, I think she's okay, at least she's very objective. She can lecture all of us one moment then laugh with us in the next moment. I guess it's rather good coz bearing grudges is tiring! She lectures me alot...good and bad way... she said she is sharing her experience and I totally agree but all these take time...thus leaving me with little time to work.

It's getting really busy for all of us now... 2 events coming next month. 2 major meeting next month and 1 major meeting in Jan. This is what I can forsee at this point of time and I bet more are coming. I will get busy all the way to April...

I also have to be attentive of the global economy... it'll affect my performance in a way or another actually.. I also have to be aware of what my competitors are doing...which currently I do not have much idea. hahaha! I must also learn about international golf tournament... because we'll be organising one in end Feb, which we have started the preparation.

About two weeks ago, I attended my first Company D&D... hm....okay loh....not fantastic coz we stayed in the club. Something worth mentioning is that the long service award....not 3 years or 5 years for the start....they start with 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and 25 years...and there isn't just one receipient...there are a few for each category actually. WOW! At this point of time I really can't forsee 10 years there....initially I thought maybe 5 years will be good... so me and another fresh grad who just came were talking about this long service thing....and he actually have the idea to stay for as long as 10 years if nothing went wrong. Well....I hope I can stay for as long as possible too....

That's all for now....going for my driving lesson soon... will update again~

ps: I've not seen s13 girls for a long time....

Entering a new phase

2010-10-06T11:47:00.002+08:00

*Drum roll*
I'll be starting work on 11 Oct! Woo hoo~
Wish me good luck...alot of adjustments have to be made and I must really adaptive from now...
It's a small world afterall....my driving instuctor's wife is actually working in the company too... she'd been there for 10 years so I think the environment should not be that bad...and he said the turnover is quite low... wow! quite glad to hear... Hope I can fit into the environment really soon...
Yesterday I went to sign the appointment letter and it's like WOW! BMWs, Audis etc...everywhere...I hardly see any Mercs...I guess not as popular anymore. hahaha! when can I save enough to match the price of a BMW??? hahaha!!!
That's all folks~ wish me luck~

Still Jobless

2010-09-27T12:05:00.002+08:00

It has been a long long time since I last blog. Today is a rather happy day...because I'm not working at my part time job and was resting at home. It was because I was running fever yesterday...like out of a sudden, no symptomm prior to the illness. I quite enjoy resting today although my ah ma will nag at me at times...nag about anything on the earth. =(

My japanese class progress was quite good. Moving on to Basic 2 Term 1 soon....meaning I'm gonna make my 3rd school fee soon. Eh...how is my jap? I should say it's still very bad... hahaha! However, I'm trying my best to improve...like buying pocket size notebook and write down all the vocabulary. Since I'm free now I should do as much to learn the language well.

Next, my driving lessons... attended 12 lessons already. Well, there're hicupps here and there. I actually lodged a complaint on a instructor...damn him...slept while I drive and wasted my time. Besides that, I paid extra for specific instructors....I guess they're really good. Coz I feel that I learnt more now... and my instructor is really cool... Aged 43...playing some kind of war game and wanted to make car decal of the game pic and give them to his friends to form a clan. WOW! incredible~

How's my job hunt...very bad I guess... Went for interviews for 2 companies this month... For the first company I was selected to go for the 2nd round...but I guess since there's no news now, it's gone already. Somehow I always died on the 2nd round... why arh? and for the 2nd company, I talked alot...I didn't startled and keep quiet...however, recalling how I answered...I think it's really not good enough. haiz haiz haiz...

In a dilenma now.... I very much wanted to quit the part time job...but I don't have the courage to do so....firstly, I don't wish to stay at home so much. Secondly, that job gives me some allowance.... at least I don't feel so breathless paying for jap and driving and even shopping. But I just simply dislike the job now... somehow I regretted not going back to the temp admin job. The only solution now is to get a proper JOB~

ps: I think I should blog more to practise writing... Haven't been writing much for almost half a year since my projects ended...

7 hours of beauty sleep keeps you healthy!

2010-08-03T23:32:00.002+08:00

See this!!
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20100801/tls-health-science-sleep-heart-stroke-aeafa1b.html

I think nowadays I'm getting about 7 hours of sleep...or rather...slightly more. All those diseases please stay far far away from me! However, my dark rings seem to have remained with me for quite some time. how how!!

I realised there are many sales jobs around... why? That's because the market is picking up thus more salesperson are required. When market is down, sales department will be the first the downsize. It isn't my own theory, it's something I had learnt from textbook as well...

Anyway, a not very friendly 'act high class' customer called and irritating me just now! He said he wanna quote whatever I said and lodge a compliant to the management. I had mixed feelings at that moment....definitely not afraid at all.. I was completely irritated by his rudeness and on the other hand I'm rather happy because I had not received any complaint for my 1 year stay at the after sales service centre. The complaint will mark the first and will be my memorable farewell experience! I'm such a psycho! I thought I'm gonna be famous soon!!! So I gave him the number and the person's name he can speak too... Please! The customer will be angry to find out that I'm only a part timer and there's nothing they can do to me actually! Besides what I told are stated in the warranty card, I'm just barely regurgitating what is written on the warranty card. Haiz.... moral of the story: Be nice to others and others will be nice to you!

That's all folks! FB time~

2010-08-01T10:48:00.002+08:00

I'm on twitter! Follow me at agkoh. :)

Lazing Mode

2010-07-20T23:51:00.003+08:00

In lazing mode....

Life has been dull and boring. Thus, I have very little motivations to blog about...

Hm.... basically now, I'm back to my usual part time job while searching and waiting for a job to accept me. Job hunting is definitely not easy. Losing enthusiasm each day when I don't see interested jobs posted online or when I was not shortlisted for an interview.

I think I'm getting a little too comfortable with my routine now to sense the urgency of getting a job. Come to think of that again, I haven't been slacking for a long time either. Once I start work proper, it'll continue for the rest of my life...for maybe another 40 years! I think I'm contradicting myself.

What have I achieved for the past 2.5 months?
I had completed Term 1 of the 4 Basic Jap Courses that will lead me to JLPT4.
I was about to completed the Basic Yoga course too... Gonna continue with the basic till I master the styles well.
I had finally registered myself for driving course. I hope I can pass the first hurdle on coming Mon and start the practical course.
Oh! and this is not known to many... I actually had No Meat diet for one month...it's something I promised to achieve when my wish was granted.
I think I had somehow mastered the skill to cook yummy spaghetti. From tomato sauce base from Prego to aglio olio style... I think it's quite nice. haha!

I hope to....
Improve my jap language....probably acquire some jap accent. I think my spoken jap doesn't sound pleasing-to-ears. hahaha!
Secure a job soon! Hopefully with good learning opportunities.
Get my driving license soon!
Work part time less coz I wanna slack more!!
Bake something...I have not been baking for half a year already.
Look forward to my convocation.
Beat Ying's score on Bejeweled Blitz!!
Hope to improve my ENGLISH~ argh~

That's all folks! I better go to bed soon...

First Interview

2010-06-22T17:28:00.003+08:00

Attended the first formal interview for a perm job yesterday. It's quite okay actually. Surprisingly I wasn't that nervous. Guess it's because the manager was quite nice, he seems like a good boss.... besides, I guess I was already trained to deal with really nasty and angry people, so meeting a polite interviewer wasn't a problem. GOSH! i thinK I QUITE LIKE THE JOB! So please give me some good luck!

New Beginning

2010-06-14T16:36:00.002+08:00

Moving on to the next chapter of life...

Finally, graduated while experiencing some hiccups in the process... phew~ I'm glad to say that I'd graduated!!

Searching for jobs is like searching for a needle in a haystack.... Difficult..

Gonna go for an interview soon...wish myself luck...

Time to go for Jap Class!

Containing my tears

2010-05-31T00:03:00.002+08:00

I think I'm pretty good at 'keeping' my tears...

Ever since young, I told myself that it's not very nice to cry in public... so I shall keep my tears and let it out during bedtime... Sometimes... When it's bedtime, I'd forgotten about crying. I am not sure whether I wanted to save some face for myself or being optimistic? I guess more of saving face...

How many of my friends had actually seen me cry before? I remember my friends would say that I'm cold-blooded. That movie is super touching...everyone is flooding the cinema except me. And....crying in cinema is not embarassing coz the area is so pitch dark.

So today... I realised that letting out my tears in public is super shuang~ I did try to hold back but somehow I can't keep it anymore...

Goodness... I should be talking about my quite happy Bintan trip and not about letting out...

I quite enjoy slacking

2010-05-19T18:11:00.002+08:00

I think I quite enjoy slacking...

Up till today....I've slacked for 12 days already... hm...quite a nice rest. hahaha!!

Started my first jap class on Monday...it's quite fun! A lot of memory work required... had to memorise the characters etc... seems like I'm back to Primary school... do crosswords, write characters... cool!

Yesterday, I revised abit and felt that...wow! actually I've alot to learn~ and memorise.

So next year...one star going Japan.. OMG! I hope I can go with her! Hopefully I can save enough and can at least master some basic conversational skills so that I won't feel so handicapped there... haiz~ Just hope that I can go next year!

Who wanna go Australia with me next year?!!?!?!? We can go attend Horng's Graduation! WHO? WHO?

Actually...I've loads of stuff that needed to be done... I need to write cover letter! I need to pack my room! haiz~ sometimes I looked at the mess I don't feel like starting. haha!!

That's all folks!!

Slacking mode

2010-05-17T00:05:00.002+08:00

I'm in slacking mode now... and I'm quite happy to maintain this status for some time first...

Recalling the past holidays I had...each time right after major exam, I'll be working all the way till the day I started school.

After O level, I went to a fast food restaurant to work... I quite enjoyed the job but I mother disliked it coz I injured my ankle and went home late. So I went to work with her at the factory. Goodness! I wasn't 'looked after' there loh! quite a torture~ one werid aunty trying to accuse me for something which I had not done. Luckily I'm not that blur and naive to admit the accuse! Phew~ survived that job and went back to school.

After the first A level, I went to a local bank to work. I was so into it that I even took up a 6 months contract. However, I ended the contract early and went back to school. So after the second A level, I went to a stat board to work. I started in early Dec, that means I only rested for 2 weeks. I worked and worked...took a few days off to Hong Kong and continued to work till the start of the first week of school.

After that I started my uni life...about one month later... I went to sell luggage... for almost the entire 3 years uni life. For each semester break, I worked more intensively.... and for 2 holidays, I went back to stat board, which means I took up 2 jobs in one holidays. goodness... I wondered how did I survived. So each time one day after the last day of exam, I'll go back to work.

So this time after the last paper... I'm completely free!! I'm a happy slacker~! In a dilenma, wanna be a slacker but then I'm worried that I may slack for a super long time...which is no good! coz I'm learning Jap lang and Driving!! I need to pay sch fee~

So right now, people have been asking...Do you have any goals in life? What do u want to achieve in your career (if i have one)? And how can u use the money you earn to build a meaningful life?

WELL, seriously... I did think about that... it's just that I'm not sure if my goals ae too ambitious... I will probaby need to get into my first job first before I can be sure of what I want. =)

I wish all well~

ps: I went to the temple with ying to pray....and I think un-luck is still with me... things haven't improve... is it becoz I'm not sincere enough? =(

my artistic pieces...

2010-04-18T12:39:00.007+08:00

First piece done... with the skills i had,i think it's quite not bad! hahaha!

This is the draft...i took super long to trace the mini car at the right hand corner... but then...Director(SC) said it'll be better to remove it. argh~ sad...so that piece became like this (below)..

Taking a look into the interior...

Goodness.... u see those text....i inserted each line one by one...because i don't know how to put them into a text box and adjust it. How arh? teach me pls...

see...even email i also turn it into a picture. =)

I'm happier

2010-04-08T23:39:00.003+08:00

Today...finally completed most of the projects... one report left which will be due next thurs.
Phew...had been sleeping very late for the past few days...

Well, met hiccups along the way definitely... for example, on monday...one grp mate just went missing. nv inform that she's not meeting us. we called and called...nv pick up the call... nv email us her work... and we've got to present it the next day. report is also due the next day and she's the one compiling. quite pissed. so we told ourselves, if by 9.30pm she didn't respond we'll have to complete the report.

haiz... that's only part one. since monday, something unpleasant each day... sometimes we got so worried that when I was sleeping, my grp mates called me. well, didn't blame them...coz if it's not urgent they also won't call. but the past few days I've not been sleeping well. my mind is so occupied that even when i'm lying on bed i'm thinking about something.

Okay....so today I had my fourth and last presentation of my entire uni life. eh.......on the whole, lect said the presentation was not well done. but she looked at me and said that i'm a friendly speaker. wow! really very glad but of coz i know much improvements are needed. rather shock. i'm such a low profile student yet she pointed me out. =)

so right now...i'm going to slack abit then spend a day to complete all my project parts. then slack and play abit.......then got to study REAL Hard. first paper on 26 april! so fast~!

That's all folks. It's 12.15am already. i think i should sleep early today!

ps: ate home-made po pian for dinner just now. super happy! yummy~ more good food coming.

my grievances

2010-03-27T02:07:00.002+08:00

Recently, I'd been showered with bad luck....ever since the start of the lunar new year. No signs of stopping yet...

Supposed to do my work...but divert abit...

It's really tough to find people with same level of commitment as you in projects. I'm glad that yixin, shuen chuan and shir hee have been around. Really happy working with them...but since yixin 'left' us earlier (as in grad)...we've got to find a couple more group mates to meet the quota... My new group mates are nice girls but I think we lack the 'mo qi'.

We put in 100% in our work... well, we don't always get the top grade but we put in top effort. So me and SC were chatting just now... we just felt a lil disappointed with the new group mates. It's not that they don't do their work, it's just that they lack the passion like us.

My education life gonna end soon... rather scary! somehow have the thoughts to study further, but i guess i'm lacking the moolah now. I remembered last sem....I told myself to hold abit more because I'm gonna grad soon. But this sem, I wish the semester won't end so soon.

Stepping onto the cross roads soon....Quite lost...Wonder what will be ahead?

That 'Fishing' Chickapong~

2010-02-26T17:57:00.002+08:00

Saw my latest msn sub-nick? Chickapong 'Fish' U.....initially it was Chickapong F*** U... SC said should be more civilised and suggested Fish instead~

Goodness....typing this makes me start to fume again... this incident happened yesterday during break when me and sc are walking up to level 2 and chickapong and fren were behind...

Chickapong: Hi!
after about 30 seconds later....
SC: Hello.
Chickapong: Oh! I said 'hi' to check if anyone will reply me

That's super duper ultimate DOTZ~~~

Please loh.... you should know we're no longer in good terms....so shut your beak(mouth)~

I should have replied....'OH~ Chickapong....you're F***ing funny~'! hated myself for not replying that~ Stop testing my patience~

ARGH~

Fretting

2010-02-22T00:55:00.002+08:00

I've tonnes of work un-touch~ That's very scary...I almost went into an panic attack thinking of that....

The contact lens project....hate it! I stared at the screen for so long and wrote nothing. Ling had already helped me by providing me with all the chim chim terms, but I simply don't have the urge to do further research! ARGH~!

Though I did nothing for the product innovation project...i did not slack throughout~ I ponder about other projects and do up a template for the analysis...haiz...besides that...i started to incur alot of negative thoughts. I wondered how i pulled through last semester?

I've 2 test on Wed... PIM with 7 chpaters and SM with 5 chapters to study... Right now....I've yet to flip open any book. How arh?! Can burn and swallow? Will I get instant memory of those knowledge after that?

I need to relieve my mind now!! Time for bed~! *Yawn*

the very unhappy CNY

2010-02-16T22:35:00.002+08:00

well...i totally can feel ying's agony. and I wondered if mine was worst... i think this is something i do wish to brag and i hope what happened just now will not happen again.

it's all started with my stubborn ah ma. she's already 90 years old and i bet given her health and the care from my aunties...she's a very lucky elderly.

my first aunt took care of her when she's at her place. she'll bring her to the market every morning...she likes kway chap so aunty will buy for her...if not aunt will buy her any food she wants to eat. she can't walk fast now and will be tired after walking for a short distance, so aunt will follow her pace and take the route along the HDB so that she can get some rest under the void deck. some days aunt will accompany her to visit the doctor... other days she will request to go to bedok interchange or even bugis...aunt will bring her to wherever she wanna go. aunt wanna bring her by cab but being a fugile person she refused to take a cab so aunt will follow her wish... aunt will bring her to take a bus, hold her and request others to have patience with her mother.

Ask yourself....if you're in her shoe, will u have such patience? this CNY eve, granny and big uncle will usually go to the temple to pray for grandfather... however, this year, she didn't go because elderst uncle told her that it's a tiredsome prayer...because at the temple, you'll need a climb a few storey up to the altar room.

so today...i woke at my mother's loud voice. i heard mum pleaded her. mum plead ah ma to let her wash her clothes... so when i woke up i joke with my ah yee... i said i'll gladly let my mother wash my clothes and she agreed with me... we said we'll 'bully' mum to ask her to do this and that. somehow she got very unhappy with my mum for not letting her to do all the chores.my mum has no choice..mum or my ah yee had already yelled at her to stop doing all the chores. nothing works and now mum got to resort to pleading.

so after that i went out and on the journey i was thinking that probably we're not able to go 2nd aunt house later in the evening because ah ma has been very unhappy today...and true enough...the moment i reach laoshi's house, cousin called and said something happened at home.

so everyone gathered at my place...even ah ma's cousin family who came to visit her was here...so when i reached my mum was already losing her temper...the very kind lady was mad and yelling out her grievances. i knew i'm the youngest there and was in no position to comment anything... but some ungrateful fellow is making incorrigible remarks...very selfish. he only knows how to point fingers and not think of ways to solve the problems! so i said...'whatever you all said are very unfair'. so i was asked to shut up... when i told them...if i really wanna interfere, i won't have just made one statement! so after the commotion went on...and this time youngest uncle said mum and ah yee aren't calm enough to face the situation...so i made my 2nd statement.. i said 'mum and ah yee have already cooled down...it's ah ma that is still very unhappy'. so this time a kaypo relative said that young people should not talk so much. what an idiot...he was the one who's making insensitive and provocative comments, which i had already held back myself previously not to comment anything.... so i told them that i'm the one who knew everything...if i kept quiet and not say anything, i would be very cold-blooded!!!!

so everyone is very upset with the event.... it also revealed the very selfish side of human...and i knew exactly who is worth my respect.

ps: my eldest uncle left without settling the issue...and very sad to say...my 2nd aunt, who i've always respected, didn't turn up or even call later in the day to check on the situation...
and to answer to that idiotic relative...this is really not my business and i interfere in the situation is because...I CARE!!!!

Super Packed Schedule!

2010-02-05T14:50:00.003+08:00

I'd been sitting in front of the laptop for about 2 hours. Flipping through my textbook. Clicking through the files. Pondering how to arrange my schedule nicely. From next week onwards...I'll be tied down with test and deadline every single week. That's very sad~!

So here's a preview of my schedule. A reminder for myself.
8 Feb: B2B Test
22 feb: B2B Presentation
24 Feb: PIM Test 1, SM test
2 Mar: DM Creative Brief
3 Mar: PIM Project 1
11 Mar: AMC Test
17 Mar: SM Proj
24 Mar: PIM Test 2
29 Mar: B2B Proj
6 Apr: DM Proj
7 Apr: PIM Proj 2
15 Apr: AMC Proj

Though the deadlines are drowning me...I'm very much look forward to the CNY gathering at my cousin new house (21 Feb) and house hopping and sushi's bday with Beloveds (27 Feb).

ps: I hope everyone will make it for 27 Feb gathering. Like what ying had posted...it's really sad for the org to hear that someone can't make it at the eleventh hour. Ling is having her exam and she'll be joining so I hope everyone will turn up. =)

that's all folks! I'd just spent 15 mins to blog. Time to catch up with work!

ps: Cruz Teng said on air this morning that young people are blogging less and old people and blogging as per the last few years. Nowadays I've been blogging very little...so I bet I'm a young person. hahaha!

New Look

2010-01-30T01:07:00.004+08:00

I finally my blog skin... I took a while to select this skin but I took super long to make adjustments, which I end up asking ying to do me the favour. =)

So today.... my ah ma is pulling a long face... she's really 'bu shuang' today. But we're also quite bu shuang coz she kept going against us. I guess she must be thinking...'last time only my daughter say me, now even my granddaughter go against me...Angry!' hahaha!

Last week, my ah ma nagged at me as well..... Argh! In order to stop her from nagging and to save myself from that... I came up with a brilliant idea.

This is what I did...

Keep her occupied~

Merry Xmas~

2009-12-26T01:26:00.002+08:00

Till now...I've yet to celebrate xmas proper. Will only be celebrating it with the Beloveds in about 17.5 hrs

Today was quite a great day~! Did a little shopping. Bought a present for my super naughty nephew. He's no longer cute...so sad. And he's super irritating now. Besides that I also bought something for myself. =)

I finally tried the Pu Tien high tea buffet. Um...not bad lah. but not that fantastic and I have the urge to go back again. I have an urge to go kushin-bo leh!!! =) However, I guess I'll go to Pu Tien again within 3 months time. Becoz we received a 100% rebate on the meal. Not bad actually...

I'd been looking at my phone and waiting for sushi or ying to sms me. Thay said wanna play mahjong...but no one confirm so I end up falling asleep. =)

Tomorrow I'll be looking forward to 3pm...coz Ling and Qin are coming to play Wii with me~ So exciting~!

So I wished everyone a very MERRY Christmas~! God Bless You~

Met A Bitch

2009-12-23T08:35:00.004+08:00

So I met a 'dark chocolate' bitch yesterday at work. She's a full timer working at the shop and serving her last day at work.

I'm known to be great helper to them, but yet she said I'm not helping her. I think she'll simply crazy. I was doing something every single moment. However, she picked on me on every single thing I did! She even questioned my professional knowledge. Really crazy! Also, mentioned that I followed her working style. In my heart, I was like...'what damn working style is that? leave one task uncompleted and jump to another task. than after that make mistakes?' She made two mistakes in a row. She did not return the credit card to two consecutive customers! DOT~! There are more incidents which she barked at me about... but then......shall not talk about it already.

I'm already not happy with her the moment I started work. I wanted very much to leave the shop. BUT! I told myself that I shall not be childish. I shall be professional and tolerate her for the day. BUT!! that crazy bitch yelled at me at the counter!!!!!!!!!! and there were customers around! Is she trying to throw her weights?! she thought I'll be afraid of her? she must be naive if she really thinks so. So if you know me well.... I'm sure to be fierce back! So I did. I told her...'if you wanna quarrel, let's go to the storeroom to quarrel!" so i think she chickened out and tried to change the topic. Simply so dot~!

After she yelled at me, I really cannot take it anymore! So I left the store at my own accord~! Although I'm only an part-timer, she's the one that cannot live without me....not the other way.

So the aftermath of the quarrel was quite quiet. Just that it made me quite irrational. I decided not to go to the class gathering. I bought a card holder on impulse. the card holder is not exceptionally expensive but then I think that's not the most ideally for my needs. I'd been looking for a card holder to replace my yellowish one from wallet shop for many many years, yet I made the decision to but the new card holder in a few minutes.

The moral of the story is...Angry women are irrational!

ps: I forgotten to publish this post which I wrote since Tuesday.

Tired

2009-12-07T01:32:00.002+08:00

I commented that working was tough and my mother gave very insensitive reply. I felt tired seriously. In some ways I felt that I'm more mature than my mother. And this sometimes make me feel tired.
Looking back... when did I ever complain about working? Ever since O level...every holidays I've been working....
From BK...I stood till my ankle got some problem...my ankle got swollen somehow. I didn't grumble... It's my mother who wasn't really happy about that and also becoz I came home very late for some of the days and went back to work like 6-7 hours later.
Then I worked in the factory... a weird aunty tried to make my life diffcult...tried to sabotage...make me the scapegoat. I didn't just quit like that...I worked till I am going to start school.
In the bank... the work wasn't easy... there were down times and I didn't quit just like that...I worked till a few days before school.
Then at IDA... environment was good but there were also times I stayed back till about 9pm... I worked for about 8 mths... straight from the A level exams till a few days after I started school.
At the current job... I am already here for 2 years plus... Only right now I started to grumble. That's becoz the environment was really bad...it's so bad till no one wanna work here.
So am I really that childish to comment that working is very xin ku? Can't I even have the right to say so? I can honestly say that I am working not becoz I wanna earn extra allowance...but to earn my allowance.
Many asked me how did I cope with taking 5 mods and work at the same time. I wanna tell them... I can barely cope. How did I make it? Moolah keeps me going.
I'm simply tired....

Cousin's wedding

2009-12-07T01:28:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was my cousin's ROM...happy for him...
Grew up together... like a big brother to me. Played with me and of coz did the brother role to reprimand me as well.
In many ways we are quite similiar... I sincerely wish that he'll build a warm family from now on.
=)

Angry

2009-12-05T01:01:00.004+08:00

It's been a long long time... since I last blog
haiz~! my blog skin is gone and I don't think I have the mood to change new skin.
Basically....right now...I'm so vexed about the things that are surrounding me.

Firstly...I'm abit sick and tired of working... Z had left and things started to get abit haywired. Plus the turmoill in relocating the outlet. It's really crazy! And I simply hated the way some ppl treating me. Felt that they take me for granted. Ordering me around and asking me to clear up those shitty mess. Aren't the full timers suppose to help me clear my mess? (if i ever created one) I felt like quiting but haven't found that courage due to some unresolved reasons.

Secondly... I got my results... Well, I actually failed Strategic Marketing. What the? I'm not a tad bit of sad towards that fail grade. I'm actually getting more and more frustrated towards that results! I put in so much effort. Esp towards the project... I can say I contributed alot! Gave my group good advice that allowed us to move on, make necessary changes to secure a High Distinction grade for one of the project. And for exam, I think I wrote enough that I didn't bothered about the subject after the exam. There were some other mod that I fret over my performance in the exam, but certainly not for SM. I took 5 mods and I marked 3 mod as 'dangerous'. But SM was one of the two mods that I was pretty confident. So what went wrong? Right now, I still do not quite accept that I'd failed the mod. I'd appealed and I hope my gut feelings will be right. I certainly do not deserve to fail! ARGH!~~!~~~

Thirdly, because of the first and second incidents, my mood is badly affected and everything I do seems not to be right. I certainly hope that the marker was sleeping and calculated my grades wrongly!!!!!!!!!

Bloody hell~! felt like spourting vulgarities~!
ARGH!

Barred from FACEBOOK

2009-10-31T18:07:00.002+08:00

In order to finish the last lap of the exam marathon, I'd decided to barred myself from Facebook and the internet. The ban will start prob tmr and I'll be back after I finish my last paper. ARGH!!! Some of my friends left 1 paper, some left with 2 papers. But I'm left with 3 papers!

I shall be Good Friends with Strategic Marketing, Distribution Channels and Business Finance from now on! Gonna go back to my date with them~

After exam, I wanna...
1) do some baking
2) look for recipe to make yummy pop corn
3) make some yummy waffle
4) make yummy yoghurt
5) Source for the cheapest Wii deal
6) prob make a wedding persent for my cousin
7) train for the 10km run
8) watch tv all day long
9) and loads loads more~

That's all folks! Got to go bite my books soon~!

ps: Yih, I saw Stef Sun during work. So you're also quite near her. hahaha!

Stephanie Sun

2009-10-08T20:11:00.001+08:00

I saw Stephanie Sun just now~

I'm simply too happy that I'm quite speechless at the moment. Will update later.
hee! (",)

I finally Break-Free!

2009-09-27T02:12:00.003+08:00

I've finally break FREE!

Hi All

When I read about X's reply to yixin’s email, it makes me wonder if X has read the textbook again to double check with what yixin mentioned.

Textbook page 267 said that franchising is using or rather copying the business model adopted. To have a clearer illustration of Franchise, pls see the example of Carls Junior and BreadTalk in China. http://business.asiaone.com/Business/News/SME+Central/Story/A1Story20090518-142237.html

Right now I think we’ve sort of came to a consensus that the possible choices are Franchise, License and Joint Venture. Making reference to the available resources of the new company, Joint Venture will not be the preferred mode.

I did the write-up of the company background and D&G background. Do take a look. It’s based on what we wanted and discussed earlier on. If there’s any disagreement, let me know. Thanks!

To side track abit... What I see from the email is a typical reply from X. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’d heard many times that X wished to change/improve her attitude. But as time passed, i still see the usual her. Also, i also shall not deny that I’m also the usual me...my bad temper will eventually bring me to rebut. Somehow or rather, we’ll manage to complete the project smoothly in the end and not end up in major quarrel like Ade and SC (SC, pls pardon me to quote that example). So this goes on for many many semesters and now we’re in the 5th sem already. I think it’s time for me to move out of the comfort zone for sem 6.

Ps: SM project is very tough, but I’m enjoying it.

Rdgs,
Sylvia

Above is the 'fierce' email to whom it concerns and my group mates. I told my ah yee about X on thurs. The rational aunt said to me that I should have not worked with X long time ago. How come I still tolerate for 5 semesters?!
Well, that's because I told myself that I shall not be choosy with group mates coz in the future I'm not able to should my colleagues. So I told myself that it's a training to the working life in the future. Right now, I bet I'd trained enough. It's time to 'graduate' and move on.
I bet I'll be called a bitch soon... but who cares?
One more week to the last project submission, which is the proj above.
Ag, Jia You!

Turmoil

2009-09-20T23:35:00.003+08:00

Last Week was quite an turmoil....

Monday...I slept at about 3am, but I was quite happy. Coz I finished one very dreadful part... Staring at the orchard map and draw out the section..... I though I'd completed my part for Distribution Channel (DC) and now it's my other team mate's job to edit.

Tuesday... Still quite happy in the morning....Wake up quite late....Watch tv, play games! Very happy me until about 6pm..... I'm supposed to get back the edited and compiled version of the project, so me and shir hee can slot in those humogous size pictures. To our horror....we waited until 7.30pm doing nothing..... So in the end I received an email at about 9pm, which stated that it's compiled and edited. So I opened it up....gave up totally......I told myself, I'll get things done by myself. Only can trust Shir Hee and no one else. So I slept at around 3.15am on Tues
ps: the compiled and edited version is actually just barely cut and paste all our parts tgt. When Shir Hee questioned him if he did edit, he said he just skim through. WHAT the~

Wednesday... When to lecture......find that it's rather crappy that I left at about 10 mintues later. Went to do my DC instead. Went for strategic marketing proj meeting too.... Correct so many parts when initially we thought we're quite completed, but then it's good to make admendments too. Quite disturbed through the night coz I have to juggle SM and DC at the same time...suddenly alot of ppl talked to me abt SM and DC tgt...Very taxing... So I slept at 3.30am... getting later.

Thursday! I went Isetan Private Sales....I was late for one hour to meet my ah yee and she's super angry! haiz~ Did some shopping and went home. So I continue to edit DC.... So I found out... my DC group mate is super naggy! A guy who is super naggy, volounteered to compile and edit, but gave crappy work. Haiz....whatever.... The challenging part came... my Words kept hanging coz those picture files are superly overly huge! And I found out something... SM proj is also abit crappy. hahaha! But luckily one star is taking care. Slept at about 4.30am! FREAKING 4am! OMG!

Friday... someone called me at 9.30am...I was thinking....WOW! This girl can wake up so early, but I was wrong somehow. She hasn't sleep yet. So I burnt the SM proj and went downstairs to print. TO my horror, the uncle can't open the disc! argh! and I didn't save a copy in the thumb drive which I passed to him for DC printing. So I bring him another copy. Luckily the printing shop is very near to my house. So I took the DVD back and try to open....really cannot open... somehow I didn't burn the DVD well the first time. So after those exiting moments...I went to sch to submit the 2 projects.

After that... I went Orchard to chill...Bought movie tix and went to Taka basement to sample mooncakes. very shiok! you all should go too! till 4 Oct. Then we walked to Far East to have Korean BBQ.... have a hearty meal and somewhere towards the end, SH left abruptly to attend to some urgent matter. Quite shock that she left......coz we're suppose to watch a movie after that. Luckily I still have another friend with me.

So after movie...went to play Wii at ying's place. Wee....very fun! But not much energy left to play and have to go home early.

I think the turmoil ended on Friday so I shall not continue to blog. hahaha!

Time for Bed! Time Check: 12.07am. VERY LATE LIAO~!

That's all folks~

090909

2009-09-10T10:29:00.002+08:00

Happy Belated 090909.

Do you all recall what u did on 09/09/99?? Exactly 10 years ago...

That's the day when many said some kind of bug (computer virus) will attack us. But luckily, it didn't happen.

I remembered on that day... I went for my regular checkup on my braces. After that I went to Bedok NTUC. At that time, there was a shop selling CD. So I bought Christina Aguilera's first album (Genie in a Bottle) there. It's my favourite album since...

So what I did on 09/09/09?? I stayed in school with yixin till 9pm...probably 9.09pm, doing our project. Kind of sad...but at least I'm with the person I liked...as in my best friend. Not doing with project with people that I don't like lah.... hahaha! Um...drifting too far away.... In conclusion, I spent it with one star!

That's all folks!

How do you all spend 090909??

Dot

2009-09-05T00:01:00.003+08:00

I felt a little DOT...

Heard that A complaint about B. I got curious and went to check... I feel that.....A always has prob with the format of the report, so nuthing is good enough unless A is the one doing it.

Well...I thought......initially when B mentioned that the report is compiled...I really doubt so and was unsure if she's really completed it. Coz she mentioned that she has some family matter to attend to. Apparently, her grandma was not feeling well.

So I went to do up the last part. Somehow or rather....We send the report here and there that I think whateve I'd changed returned to its intial stage. But then overall... I think the format is still acceptable, but of coz it's not perfect.

Previously, A has some prob with interpreting B email and misunderstood her. I went through the email and didn't find a tinge of disrespect. I think it's time to brush up ang mo.

After saying so much... what's the point of writing this email? Actually...I'm not sure either. I'm not exactly angry or pissed coz A didn't complain in my face. I'm rather glad that A didn't coz our relationship now won't make A to talk as much to me now.

The friendship turned sour but I didn't regret it. Seeing how many times that I was hurt emotionally last sem... I think the friendship ought to turn sour. =) But then...this sem... I still can work with A leh... I'm impressed with myself.

After all the project I've done... I think I'd learnt alot through the process... and most imptly I think my threshold of patience has increased. I don't get overly upset over nitty gritty stuff.

That's all folks... Felt good after blogging. Going to sleep now.

ps: Did anyone saw the Blackberry and Apple Advertisement? This week's 8 Days showcased that. I think it's quite cool. Go check it out!

I wanna SLACK

2009-09-02T23:37:00.002+08:00

I wanna SLACK. Actually I am slacking right now.

Basically....right now...I'm caught in a dilemma. I've tonnes of work to be done, but don't know which to start.

After the Finance Test on Tuesday and the Sales Strategy Project submission just now... I feel a little drained. Have a strong urge to slack!

Many UOL students got back their results... and I've heard some unpleasant news already. To all my friends... Jia You Jia You! Don't give up! Actually I know what you're feeling. I'd been in that shoe before. Did badly for A level the first time...and the second time....it's still not good enough for me to enter local uni. =)

Time to get to serious work. NO more regrets from now on!

Empress Dowager 90th Birthday Bash

2009-08-23T14:32:00.014+08:00

This year My Ah Ma celebrated her 90th Birthday on 10 August. It had been some time since we last celebrate her birthday. I think the last birthday celebration was in 2004, her 85th birthday.

Now, let me introduce the birthday granny. The Empress Dowager of the family- Granny Siew Lian, featuring the pretty longevity buns.

The buns were bought by Cousin Eugene, but I was the one who suggested to buy buns to him. But of coz, he's the one who source for the pretty buns, which was not that expensive too.

A clearer look at the pretty Longevity Buns.

Introducing the offsprings of the birthday girl. Not quite completed yet. A few were not in town plus the photographer himself is not in the picture.

The home-made buffet, which I contributed too. I wrapped the bacon, bake the chicken sticks, hot dogs and chicken wings.

Have a closer view of the Finger Food Platter

Up next, it's the Birthday Cake.

Mango Delight from Royals. It's simply yummy! Many feedback that the cake is nice. Got to thank Ying for recommeding the cake to me.

Here's the dressed-up cake. Nine long candles surrounding the Longevity. When my cousin-in-law saw the cake...she went...'wow, ah ma is Ninety Years old!'. Yup, Granny is Ninety Years Old.

Sang a not very unison birthday song and then it's time to cut cake.

On the left is my youngest cousin. In the middle...the couple...they're xuan xuan (Melody) and le le (Matthias). Isn't the two of them cute?! So adorable! My ah ma is also quite cute. Look at the way she gazed at the cake. =)

So it's finally time to cut the cake!

Lastly, here's a blur picture taken by me, featuring my mother's generation. One uncle missing becoz he's busying playing with his phone's camera function. Duh...

National Day Long weekend was a maddness for me. Got to perform for National Day dinner at Woodslands. Then, prepare for my ah ma's birthday. Then...got to rush my project!

Another maddness coming up...so I think I've got to pen off now.

That's all folks! Seeya!

2009-08-23T14:30:00.002+08:00

Yeah! I finally can blog. Thanks to Madam, Miss Mus Lim. I love you Madam. haha!

2009-08-23T14:00:00.000+08:00

BUSY

2009-08-04T21:51:00.000+08:00

I'm feeling stress...

About one week left to project submission but I've yet to do anything on it. Doing a project about my own time management. Got to be it in Business Report format... Can't use 'Me', 'I' etc.. Um... How to do??

It's been a month since school started. Project engine has started and is heating up. Tests and project submission dates are nearing. Stress is building up too.

Granny's Birthday is coming soon. Got to prepare this and that. Help me mother to carry stuff here and there. It's a busy preparation but I sort of quite enjoy it. It's been years since we last celebrate Granny's Birthday in a big scale. =) Looking forward to next Monday!!

Currently quite pissed.... I waited more than 30 mins for my sales strategy MSN discussion to start. Even after the wait, there're still some absentees. Right now... I'm waiting for Global Marketing MSN meeting to start. We're suppose to end the discussion at 10pm, but look at the time now. It's 10.08pm, but we've yet to see everyone online. I'm quite disturbed with the meeting time this semester. Just don't know why.... prob it's becoz I'm running against time. I'm taking 5 MODULES~!~!~ ARGH~!

That's all folks!! I'll go do my stuff now.

2009-07-26T01:18:00.002+08:00

Picture Freshly out...
A Retro (Back to 1980s) party to celebrate Adelene's birthday. I think this picture is not very nice. But I chose this it's because I'm with my best friends at SIM . =) More to come....

I'm in my mother's dress!! haha! Very 'O Biang'... but I think it's quite cute. hahaha!

Introducing... the 'ah lian' on my left. She's Yixin aka peeping Jane aka Retro Ah Lian aka Tom Yam Jie Jie. Next will be the 'vain pot' on my right. Miss Shir Hee aka Miss BHB aka Tom Yam Mei Mei.

That's all for now... Will be back with more.

BUSY

2009-07-23T01:33:00.002+08:00

It'd been a long long long time since I last blog.

I've been busy. School has started for about 3 weeks already, thus assignments are rolling in.

I'm proud that I'd survived 9 hours of lesson on last Saturday, with only 1 hour break in between. It's because I opened my eyes widely throughout the 9 hours, but I saw others who only attend 6 hours lesson, shutting their eyes during the second lecture. of coz I must admit I did stare blankly at some instances.

Also, I survived 5 days without my laptop and without my desktop. I mingled with my lappy last tuesday and somehow it stopped working, meaning I can't boot my lappy. So I thought I can rely on my desktop, but somehow after my lappy died, my desktop also chose to go on strike. PS: Previously my desktop is working fine, though it's a little slow. After 5 days of ordeal, I got my lappy back after seeking some aid from a friend. Really glad... right now my lappy is working fine.

It's almost 2am, I think I should stop 'playing' and go to bed soon. Another long day in school.

Jia You Ag! Good Luck to myself! Taking 5 modules this year, which is one more module as compared to my fellow classmates.

That's all folks! Take Care! (",)

New Challenges Ahead

2009-06-30T01:13:00.004+08:00

I can foresee that in the next 3 months... I will

1) Eat Less
2) Sleep Less
3) Doze off more
4) Get more tempermental
5) Play Less

Due to the rising cases of swine flu, my time table is re-scheduled. It's getting more and more SHITTY~

One day becomes super duper shitty. From no lesson to record-breaking number of lessons per day. And that special day is a Saturday, a weekend!!

So that very special day will be 18 July. I'll start lesson on 8.30pm (Global Marketing), then rest for 1 hour. 12.30pm to 3.30pm will be Distribution Channel. After that I'll return to Glabal Marketing from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. A total of 9 hours of lessons in a day, on a weekday. What makes it even disastrous was....it is my mother's birthday. What a MEMORABLE day~! =(

Right now, I'm not prepared for Day 1 of school! I've so many tasks not done.
1) Clear my shelf --> Remove Semester 4 notes and make space for Semester 5 notes.
2) Reformat my laptop --> Prepare for the upcoming heavy project loads
3) Print my notes --> Left one module notes that are not uploaded and that module will commence next Monday
4) Scan an entire project for future reference
5) Sort my pencil case

I will be very studious and hard-working for the coming semester! Jia You!

Saving Gaia

Dear Friends...

Each time when you turn on your computer... have you ever wonder how much damage you are doing to this lovely Mother Earth?

Have you ever leave your computer idle? You may think that your computer is on energy-saving mode, thus continue to leave the computer idling. But, you're actually harming the environment.

It's time to wake up!! Remind yourself to turn off the computer when you're not using!! Download 'widget' to track your energy-saving effort!

Retrenchment

2009-06-01T10:05:00.002+08:00

It's Retrenchment everywhere!!

A very scary and worst scenario that can happen. This situation seemed far from me initially, but has slowly creeped near me.

Read an email yesterday. Many part timers were 'axed', leaving only max 2 part timers per store. Even the largest store are left with only 2 part timers, that means many have to leave.

So me and Ying wondered...if they're trying to get rid of the 'high earners'. ps: there're salary discrepancy among the part timers. But, me and Ying survived the ordeal. And we knew of another 'high earner' who survived as well. Very lucky. What to do? Part timers are supposed to be used to adjust 'Capacity' - as learned from 'Service Quality'. =)

From today onwards, I'll face new challenges at work. Hope I'll be able to handle those tasks and show my boss that I'm the worthy employees left.

So dear friends, pardon me if I happen to reject your invitation to go out. Coz I think I'll put work at priority because I'm not sure when I'll lose my job. hahahaha!!!! Hopefully I can survived till next May. haha!

That's all folks! Have a wonderful week ahead! Cheers~

Dumpling Festival

2009-05-29T01:26:00.002+08:00

28 May is Dumpling Festive- Duan Wu Jie

I'm pretty excited about this occasion. Coz I'll get to eat delicious dumpling! Up-to-date, I'd eaten 2 Nonya 'Chang' and 2 'bak chang'. Quite satify but can have more! hahaha! I wanna eat 'ki chang'!

Reminicing the past... my mother used to get very busy during this period... but she no longer gets busy now. Last time she'll help my grandma make 'ki chang'. And she'll make miniature ones...something like the size of five stones. Dip those mini 'ki chang' in icing sugar and put it into my mouth...Yummy!

Then she'll go to er yee house... to make Nonya 'chang'. Because last time I don't quite like to eat pork...she'll prepare her own ingredient and make chicken Nonya 'chang'. And because I don't like dried mushroom, she'll put in button mushrooms for me.

Then after that, she'll go to my da yee house to make 'bak chang'. Don't quite favour those fatty meat, but according to many...the 'bak chang' made in those days were delicious. Now...wonder if it's due to age...my da yee standard dropped... the 'bak chang' were no longer delicious as before.

I missed my ah ma's 'ki chang'. =) The dumpling festive reminds me of the past and makes me feel like getting back to the younger me! =) Going round the adults and watch them make the dumpling...help to select the white coloured rice for the 'ki chang'...and tasting the first batch of the freshly made dumpling.

Wish all a Happy Dumpling Festive. Enjoy your dumplings but don't forget to take control of your diet. Seeya~

Missing You All!

2009-05-16T00:35:00.002+08:00

Hi peeps...

To all my 'lao peng you' out there! I'm missing you all leh!!!!!!!!! My 'lao peng you' includes......S13 girls and Beloveds....basically those whom I've not seen for a long long time. Of coz I missed horng horng the most coz she's the furthest. When Are We Meeting?? I've been blog hopping and I think it's a good platform to know how my friends are doing. Met Xin Yi at suntec recently. Wow! Didn't really meet up properly with oxy and ss and those guzheng peeps after we graduated.

What have I been doing recently?
I'd baked cookies and cheese cake. Both don't taste up to my expectations! I think the cookies are really not up to the standards, but yushi told me that it's nice. Wondering... Then the cheese cake! I just can't get back the same taste when I made it with s13 girls the last time. Why? haiz...

Besides Baking, I've working hard. Slogging hard for money of coz. Been working for the past 3 days and will continue for another 7 days before I get some rest days. Btw, tomorrow( 16 may) Samsonite having close door event at Suntec Convention Centre Rm 202. If you all want any good bargains, can come down to shop and also visit me. ahahah! Guess I'll be bored. I'll probably be one of the 2 girls working. I'll be missing company. The last closed door fair, I was with ying and sushi and some other friends I knew. This time, I'll be all alone. Besides the managers, I think I won't know any of the part timers. What to do! Still must work! Moolah! Moolah!

My Wish List for this holidays...
1) Eat Beach Road Prawn Mee!
2) Meet up with my friends
3) Watch Night at the Museum 2 and Angels & Demons

That's all folks! I'm off to play game.

Weird Stare

2009-05-13T01:20:00.002+08:00

Today I went NTUC to buy some stuff... A packet of eggs and 2 alumnium tray.

The absent-minded paid for the stuff and left with the eggs only. I think the cashier tried to call me and an old couple were staring at me, but I just continue walking coz I didn't realise I need to get my tray as well. Haha!

So when I realised, I walked back. Btw, I took only about a few seconds to realise my mistake. Okay...So when I went back, the old couple keep staring at me! Glued thier sight on me, while the cashier stared as well. I was like........ DOT

Do you all need to give me that weird stare? I think the funniest part is that the elder people are gloating! They must be thinking... why this young chap is so forgetful.

After reading this... do u understand the moral of the story? haha! Elderly always say they're forgetful, but when they realise you're like them, they'll have no compassion....they'll laugh at your silly act. =)

That's all folks! Time for bed! Enjoying holidays now...

On the first lapse of Exam

2009-04-22T22:05:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow will be the proper start of the exam marathon. Lapse one is Integrated Marketing Communications.

Hm... right now... i'm almost done. Quite a bad sign though...correct? At this hour I'm not completely done. hahaha! well, this is the subject I spent the most number of hours to date. so hopefully, I'll be able to 'vomit' out everything tomorrow.

I wish myself good luck~

ps: right now I only have ONE smooth-writing pen. Not quite comfortable with my preparation of ammunition. I usually have a few pens on hand. Got to get some before exams starts tomorrow.

Good Luck to all muggers~ Happy Earth Day!

Friendship

2009-04-15T16:00:00.002+08:00

Friends Forever! remember the phrase we'll use frequently on messages to friends... But, recently I'm rather disturbed by that phrase. I wondered...Is there anything that will last forever?

Recently I heard a few friends telling me that they're having some 'trouble' with their best friends. Sadly, I had also witnessed a few cases where many years of friendship just shatter within a short while.

Most of the time, I'm really not sure what had happened actually that had caused such a disastrous ending. I do not wish to probe into the matter, which will inevitably rub salt onto my friends' wound. I just wonder.... Why will such situation happen?

I'm rather depressed seeing all that but there's nothing I can go to salvage the situation. I'm just an outsider. But, I hope one day....they will realise that there's actually no need to go to such extent. Maybe they will not be as close as before...but please don't become enemy...

ps: I'm not the person who is experiencing the problem. So no worries...my friend... I'm just affected by my friends' problem.

Ah Ma Remembers my Birthday

2009-04-15T15:49:00.002+08:00

I have friends who still remembers my birthday! Very glad to receive the well wishes... but there's one person who remembers my birthday and I'm pretty amazed. haha!! that's my Grandmother...

Usually before my birthday, my mother would cook 'mian xian' or ask my grandma to make noodle. ps: My ah ma used to make noodle out of flour...and that's my favourite... However, this year, my ah ma stayed at my big aunt house most of the days now coz she fractured her arm and got to get someone to look after her. So, there wouldn't be any reminder sent out. But, amazingly, my ah ma ask me about my birthday and gave me a red packet. WOW! Very touched! So i sort of tested her on my birth date...and she actually got it correctly. WOW!

She has so many grandchildren and her memory wasn't as good as before. Yet, she still remembers my birthday correctly. ps: now, she's been telling people that she's '9' years old. hahaha!

I wish her good health and get well soon!!!! (from the fractured arm)... I love YOU!

Thank You!

2009-04-12T23:26:00.000+08:00

Dear Friends,

Thank You! For all the well wishes!~

Luv, Sylvia

2009-04-09T11:29:00.003+08:00

Finally finished all my projects! Very tedious, Very tiring, sometimes... abit 'bu shuang' hahaha!

Somehow I felt that this semester schedule is very tight. Not a moment of breather given. One day after the last project submission, I can feel the stress from the coming exam! I planned my study schedule and realised that time is running out... I've got to buck up!

Anyway...past two weeks had been a nightmare. Toning few nights to finish project, skipping dinner, or rather...just ate one meal for that day. So these few days, I try to make it up... Slept alot! And I think I ate alot too! Hee!!

Through the project days, one snack helped me to pull through hunger twice! Introducing...

Nature Valley Granola Bar - Peanut Butter!!

okay! friends out there...pls listen up! I've got a favour to ask! If you've seen the snack above at any supermarket, PLEASE inform me!! I want to buy!!! Make sure it's peanut butter flavour!! I've been searching high and low for the peanut butter flavoured bar. I went to Marine Parade a few days ago and combed all the supermarket around. Mission Failed! So you must be thinking where I bought that bar above... I got it from school, the snack vending machine. They have other flavours as well, so even if I wanna buy the entire row of nature valley snack, I'll get other flavour which I don't fancy.

Another snack I'm looking for is Wasabi Pea by Tong Gardens! I wondered where have that snack been to? My aunty bought it from NTUC, but when I wanna buy it now, I can't find it!

Okay....Food Hunt has not ended... I'm looking for Marshmallow Ice Cream by Kings I think.... Recommended by Yixin... BUT I've not seen that at supermarket... I hope to try! Well, what spark my interest in trying that ice cream? It's the ice cream parlour at Holland V...Called Cold Rock! Very nice ambience! Very nice ice cream! And you can sit on swing to savour your ice cream! Limited swing of coz...only 2 seats actually!

Guess... I've blog enough! Time to get serious in work! Seeya~

BUSY week

2009-03-29T22:32:00.002+08:00

As some had noticed... I ton the night again. Didn't sleep at all from friday till 12pm on saturday.
So this time I did project with AEFG... ahaha! I'm the G actually.

So what am I doing actually? Guess only Yixin knew what I was doing... don't wish to say much now.

I've been doing project with the same group for 3 semester already. I really appreciate some of the companion, but sometimes I felt a little tired. As in I've been in the comfort zone for 3 semester already. I sort of knew everyone habits and practice already. In a dilenma, at one end I wanna break free, but on the other I wish to continue this collaboration.

I felt so tired toning....I'm not not those that will boast about how 'early(AM)' I went to bed. I wish to get to bed by 12am everyday. But it's quite unlikely to happen. So when I went to bed at 12pm ytd, I woke up at 3pm, feeling very tired but find difficulty in getting back to my la la land. Haiz... in the end I woke up at 5pm so I got to reward myself with the very exciting concert by JJ.

That's all folks! More submission coming up... I do not wish to ton again!

Sylvia is sick

2009-03-23T18:19:00.003+08:00

The following is a compliment to the creative Singaporeans!! Ying showed me this very creative piece of master work yesterday.

Saw that big hole circled in red? This hole is something which cannot be repaired. So that person brought it back to use and came back with it to trade in.

Look at what had been done to the bag!

A sock is used to mend the hole. VERY clever!

Anyway, I'm not feeling well. Down with block nose, then running nose, then sore throat and now with cough. The worst (fever) has yet to come and i hope it won't come.

Today I wanted to wake up any time around 10 o'clock, but i woke up at 9 am instead. After that I can't get back to sleep. Anyway...I think stress is really the cause of everything. Yesterday I don't feel quite well in the morning, but I scheduled to work so I dread myself to work... This morning when I woke up, I feel very relaxed and don't feel that unwell. That's becoz I need not work, can rest alot and do my stuff. I really did rest alot, but I've yet to do my stuff. ahahaha!

That's all for now! Got to get to work proper.

Personality Test

2009-03-17T16:37:00.004+08:00

The following is a quiz taken from Ying's tag. (ps: I do no know how to use the 'tag' on facebook, so I paste the result here)

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I must say that this personality test is rather accurate. =)

My exam time schedule is out. I'll be very occupied from 23 April to 5 May. Of coz those days from 8 Apr, last lecture, to 22 Apr, I'll be mugging hard too. =)

That's all folks! Ciao~

Fun Fact: Yesterday on a bus trip, I saw an Ah Pek, whose thumb nail is longer than my middle finger. I measured the length of my middle finger and it's about 7.5cm. I bet his nails was about 10cm long. ARGH! He used his thumb nail as pointer while reading the newspaper. Long pinkie nail is to dig 'gold', so long thumb nail is for reading newspaper. hahaha!

I'm a Foodie (2)

2009-03-14T23:25:00.005+08:00

I'm a foodie!! Part 2

Another goodie from my favourite bakery, Sun Moulin.

A round of applause for the very delicious Chocolate Eclair!!! *clap clap*

The chocolate coating on the top is hard and it filled up the entire top surface of the pastry. The chocolate cream filling is very 'fresh'. Coz it's fresh cream. haha! of coz not just that...the cream is not those that will make you feel 'jir lat'. =) Not sure if my description has convinced you all that the eclair is exceptionally delicious...i bet not...so you all got to try it out to tell me if I've good taste. =) Actually another thing that makes it tasty is because it's a treat from the flower shop boss. hahaha!!

Side track abit...before I forget...Monday was an enjoyble day at work. Feast the whole day. Joke the whole day. Didn't really answer much 'complain calls' because all the calls are for my colleague. =) Feast=simple fare... I had Mac breakfast in the morning, KFC family feast for lunch and the eclair for dessert. Yummy yummy! All these keep my stomach very occupied till I go to bed.

That's all folks! Gotta go back to project though I'm a little reluctant. haha! Seeya all soon!

ps: I wanna blog about my Disney on Ice trip, but I think I'll do it another day..

I'm a Foodie

2009-03-14T23:12:00.005+08:00

I'm a Foodie~ (",) Part 1

Introducing....

Not sure if you all can see the packaging clear...

The brand is Zow-Zow. Zow-zow is a brand of instant noodle. Well...it's not a branded mee, so I bet very few will know about it. I doubted it's quality and taste because I've not heard of such brand before and the packaging is not really that attractive. Unlike Koka Noodle packaging, where the picture looks so yummy!

Anyway, according to my mother, this brand is cannot be found at NTUC. It's only found at Sheng Siong.

Back to the taste... the noodle is really very Q and tangy, unless you overcooked it of coz. The seasoning is very fragrant too...just that it may be a little too salty. So remember not to add too much seasoning.

I like the chicken flavour because I've yet to try the duck flavour. I would love to try the duck flavour soon. The reason that I've yet to try the duck flavour is because my mum just added that flavour to our noodle collection and I try to refrain myself from eating too much instant noodle.

I think that's all for now. Do try out this instant noodle! After that drop by to tell me your feedback.

ps: I wondered if anyone has tried the Choco Mochi yet?

The very ugly yet delicious mochi

2009-03-11T15:18:00.005+08:00

Do you know what's that?

That dung-like snack is a very delicious Chocolate Mochi.

Rich choco taste but not overly-chocolatey. Very chewy and you can bite into bits of choco chips. Suitable for all ages. I love it, my friends love it, my aunty loves it and my mom loves it!

Try it out!

Available at Isetan Scotts Supermarket, Sun Moulin. 5 for $2.70

Home Alone

2009-03-07T20:46:00.003+08:00

Home Alone Episode 1

Today morning mummy went to Malacca on a company trip. Therefore, I'm Home Alone!

Felt rather lost because I'll have to remind myself to lock the door before bed(which i just did)... Should be happy though because no one will nag at me for a day, but I'm not at all excited over it.

I planned to do my project....basically finish all my outstanding work. But till now I've yet to insert my thumbdrive into my lappy. =) I reached home at about 2pm...brought a textbook to the photocopy shop, wandered around for the coffee shops thinking what to buy for lunch, bought a bottle of Lays Chip and came home. After that, I watched tv... watched 2 episodes of Jia Hao Yue Yuan... watched some more tv and here I am...typing this entry. In between, I played Pet Society, blog hop, get some freebies and window shop online...

I was looking at the HP printers... wow! What an technology advancement in the printing technology. hahaha! I remember I bought my printer at about $300 plus when I was in Sec 1, that was 9 years ago, from Funan Challenger. With that amount of money now, I would be able to get a printer with many functions, such as scanning, wireless printing and faxing... That's so much better!

Recently I've an urge to spend money! ARGH! Very no good! Feel like getting myself a hard disk... but luckily I'd sort of change my mind...all thanks to Ying. She'd sort of rationalised with me the need of a hard disk. hahaha! Feel like buying a new printer because I can sense that my printer is aging fast.. But, since I'd another unopened black ink cartridge with me...I shall bear with it! I wanted to buy a bag from an online webshop just now! BUT!!! ARGH!!! It's sold out! WHY? I should have log into ibank and transfer the money to make that purchase 3 days ago! Now it's gone! That's the bag which my mom don't mind taking... I've been always wanted to get my mother a new bag because her bag is wearing out and she's really picky! Since that bag is out of stock, I have a urge to get a handbag... haha! but of coz.... I'm a rational person, I didn't make that purchase. Here's he site... you can take a look... it's recommended by my friend, gwen. http://www.cassisroom.com/

I learnt about the result for an assignment today... rather surprised to see that result because we got our first 'Credit'. We'd never got anything lower than a 'Distinction'. But...what to do? Everything is finalised... guess some of them were really upset, but I only can say...we (sort of) deserve that grade. I do agree with the comments given. It's not that we did not put in the effort required to score high distinction, but it's because of the direction we had worked towards to was rather strayed away from the objective. This is something no one realised until now... at least I knew what went wrong now, not sure if the rest understand yet.

Time for bath! After that I shall work very hard for my projects! Everyone...jia you!! All the way!

That's all folks! Ciao~

ps: I wondered if anyone saw my facebook status? I wrote 'Sylvia is stratching her head.......Pondering.........on Tuesday' Do you understand me? Now, I don't quite actually understand myself. hahaha! Only one person pointed out that I'm not thinking correct. haha! What a smart alec indeed...

Cadbury Eyebrow Advertisements

2009-03-03T20:18:00.004+08:00

I have yet to write a single word for my project. Abit lost of what I should be doing. haha! I've been reading and reading...hope I'll get some light soon.

Im the meantime, I humour myself with this cute adv, which I already watched it last week with yixin. The adv is really cute that I have to watch it again. haha! Remember the very cute Cadbury Gozilla Adv? Btw, the project that makes my brain stuck has something got to do with advertisement. It's my marketing communication project. Headache!

That's all folks! Sit back and relax!

My Favourite TV Shows

2009-03-03T00:48:00.002+08:00

Season 14 of 'The Amazing Race' started 2 weeks ago. I saw it on AXN one day at my ah ma's house. I panicked coz I'd no idea that TAR is going to start anytime soon and worried that Ch 5 is not going to telecast my favourite reality show. HENG arh! Ch 5 never disappoint me! However, the second repeat telecast of the episode is rather early- every monday at 8pm. Last time the second telecast will usually be at 10pm. That's the time I'll be home, eat my dinner, showered and all ready in front of the tv. Prob becoz TAR is suitable for all ages, unlike Survivor... which can only be telecast after 11pm, as it's unsuitable for the young kids.

Ch 55 is going to show 'Heart of Greed' again! ARGH! I wanna watch my idols! I hope I've time to watch! I missed the front part last year because I was busy with syco concert.

'The Perfect Cut 2' will be airing soon too! I wanna watch that show! A rather interesting genre which are hardly written into a drama in Singapore. The show time clash with 'Heart of Greed'! Argh... which should I watch if I've the time?

'The seventh day' will also be starting soon on Ch 55. Wanted to watch that show coz the review is rather good!

Project

2009-02-22T23:37:00.003+08:00

Projects are definitely taking up lots of time. As the course gets more intensive, every thing seems to get more and more complicated. Human relationships are getting more complex.
Last sem, A and B have a rather severe conflict with a project and cause C and have a conflict with A as well. That's because C sided B and trust her wholeheartedly. But all these happened at the end of the project
This sem....project just started... conflicts are starting to happen. C finally understood B's shortcomings that A was talking about. C and B were practically at loggerheads now. However, the story doesn't end here.
D is the new game player. She's doing project with A and C's group. Currently she's doing fine in group A but struggling in conflict with C. Haiz......D and C are closer friends and yet there're struggling with relationship problems. Very sad to hear that. However, the story don't end here....yet....and again
This time D and C conflict involved more people, which includes me. hahaha!
I'm the middle-person now clarifying things between group A and group C. Btw, I'm also the middle-person for A and C conflict the last time round. I really hope to be very neutral and definitely do not want to get involved in any conflicts.
Getting confused in ABCD! Time to get to bed! That's all folks! Seeya!

A complain to SBS Transit

2009-02-10T23:58:00.002+08:00

Hi All, below is a feedback that I'd made to SBS Transit just now and I would like to share with all what I'd wrote! =)

I'm a season pass holder. I showed the pass to the bus captain when I board the bus. As past experience implied to me that some bus captain do not bother to give an acknowledgement upon seeing my pass, I would usually not bother to ensure that I get any ack in return. Somehow, the bus captain had not seen my pass and shouted to pay my fare. When I walked back to him, he said in a sarcastic and impolite manner that I'd not shown him my pass. I was really annoyed by the unpleasant incident. After that incident, I reminded myself to ensure my pass is visible to the bus captain. However, just now, at about 1110 at the same bus stop (clear water condo), I boarded bus 28 (towards TPY), the same unpleasant experience happened again. The bus captain wasn't paying attention to the passengers who are boarding the bus. I have to make a trip back to the bus captain to tell him that I held a season pass. The bus captain murmured something back, which I can't really hear what he said. I think I'm not the only season pass holder who had met such unpleasant experience because I'd heard my friend(season pass holder) complained to me on such unpleasant experience. I wish SBS will get back to me on this matter soon and let me know the actions that will be taken to avoid such unpleasant experience for the season pass holders. Thank You!

I think this is the first time I'd formally filed a complain against an unpleasant experience! I really do not wish to complain because I don't wanna make complaining a habit. In another words, I don't wanna be a complain queen. Also, I hated complains too. I'm afraid of them actaully coz they're the number one spoiler! It'll spoil your entire day!! This explains why I mentioned in my msn that Post-Purchase Dissonance is very SCARY!!!

That's all folks! Goodbye!

Busy with school

2009-02-03T20:05:00.002+08:00

Semester 4 is definitely getting more challenging. Before I get the hang of what's happening, I've to get ready for 2 assignments which are due on the third week of Feb. And more to come between the last week of Mar and first week of April.

Before I get another sleepless night rushing for project, I started doing my research. Well, I dislike academic journals! I've never like them since last sem. I pulled through to look and the necessary quota for my journals and look out for other sources. This sem, I die die also must use journals for my project! Hated it! So difficult to find relevant ones esp from specific years and specific journals. Who's an expert at googling journals? Can you teach me!!? Please!

So much to do and so little time. Guess I need to start project proper now!

That's all folks!

ps: I think my ah ma is rather happy today! haha! And I treated her Nestle Milo Ice Cream! Yummy!

A bad start for 2009

2009-01-24T00:30:00.002+08:00

I had a bad start for 2009 or rather a bad ending for the year of rat.

Feeling suay nowadays, or rather...blur and careless.

1st, I lost my ezlink card. The one which I pasted ling's lil mermaid for me! argh!

2nd, I lost my SONY recorder. I dare not tell my aunty about it. If I honestly admit, I'll drop to hell immediately. It's at least a few hundreds bucks and I just used it for a few weeks. And! I've yet to transfer the recordings into my laptop. Now I can understand the pain of Yixin's losing her one week old handphone!!!!

3rd, I made loads of mistakes at work today! Not that I'd agitated any customers and got a complain from them, but I made my colleague's life difficult. haiz~ First, I forget to return a customer's credit card after payment. Next, I void a transaction instead of the item purchase. Apparently, I'm not suppose to coz HQ will question about the void transaction. Next, I scan the wrong colour bar code. I thought the colour is not important so I just anyhow scan. Well, actually I will messed up the inventory. So, my colleague void the entire transaction again and re-key. ARGH! I made him printed a long long list of receipt and redo the sales record. haiz~ I'm doing some cashering job to ease my colleague's workload, but I just added more!

I've no idea why I made so many blunders! Ying said I'm not in the mood to work coz I'm too upset with myself losing the recorder. But I don't really feel that sad. haiz...but not sure if I'm really not that sad. My ah yee said I'm always so blur.....'diao er lang tang'.....Haiz~

I just feel really upset.

ps: I just thought of an opportunity that I'd lost in the past. Sort of regretted it! Hope everyone will seize each and every opportuniy in front of u. haiz~ I shall not mention what it is coz I don't wish to remind myself of that lost again~

That's all folks! Have an enjoyable CNY! Gong Xi Fa Cai

2009 New Year Resolution

2009-01-10T12:50:00.002+08:00

My outdated 2009 New Year Resolution!!!

1) Manage my moolah well!

Spring Cleaning

2009-01-09T22:59:00.002+08:00

I wonder if everyone has set aside a day to do Spring Cleaning???

For me, I've decided to do Spring Cleaning of my room tomorrow! Do take note, please do not date me! As I am likely to reject you. hahaha!!! Oppss~~~ actually till now, no one has ask me out. haha!! Since my last day of exam, the aftermath hasn't been cleared. Very untidy!! I just stuff everything to one corner so that I've place to sleep and put my laptop. hahaha! So tmr...everything will be back in position, every cobwebs cleared and every dust sweeped! =)

I wondered if anyone remembered a question I asked. I asked....if Sylvia speak fluent english?
Hm... I'm not sure about that. But before I can confirm if I do speak fluent english, I realised my Chines has deteriorated. After Call 1, my colleague said 'Wow, your Chinese CMI!!' I immedietely denied and said I've got an A for my Chinese!! But, right after Call 2, I self declared that my Chinese is indeed very lousy! ARGH!!! I actually spoke broken Chinese!! I commented that and my another colleague agreed by saying I speak better in English. She thought I converse in English most of the time. I'm no 'ka-tang'!! What to do now? Can't speak Eng well and now my chinese is so bad!

Looking back, the reason I asked if I speak fluent english is because... my aunty always correct me and asked if I speak that bad at work. I don't quite agree and we deduced that probably I feel stress talking to her coz she always correct me!! hahaha!!

OKay! that's all folks! I'm going to watch tv liao!

Pimple Popping!

2009-01-08T11:55:00.002+08:00

A 'volcano' erupted on my face yesterday! And it's super duper painful!!!

Argh!

Wanna post of pic of the eruption intially, however, after second thought, I think I shan't spoil all of my readers' appetite!! It's so gross!!

Chinese New Year is coming up! I hope everyone will take care of your health! Don't fall sick, if not you can't savour the delicious goodies which only comes once a year! Take care of your beauty! Sleep early and well! Drink lots of water! Who wanna let your long time no see relative see the most ugliest side of yours?!?!?!? OF coz, your need some strength to do some home visiting!

Btw, Yesterday I passed by a VERY FAMOUS bak kwa store in Chinatown! I saw that they've lots of bak kwa and lots of staff. They've also prepare many poles outside to form the queue. HOWEVER, the poles are not lined up, they're all push to a corner. The staff were happily chatting and lots of bak kwa on the shelves! Where does the queue went to? I bet recession has kept them at home. This is really so sad coz it's 2 weeks to CNY, yet there's no queue at the bak kwa store. I hope everyone will have a Happy Chinese New Year this year!

That's all folks!! Seeya~

Baking Session 2

2009-01-04T00:57:00.001+08:00

3 Jan was Baking Session 2!!

Another succesful baking attempt!

We'd made...
1) Crispy Pirated Famous Amos Cookies aka Biggie Cookie(according to the recipe)
2) Japanese Cheese Cake
3) Rich Chocolate Brownie

Cookies and Cheese Cake are very sucessful. My mother loves the Cheese Cake so much that she requested me to bake during CNY. For cookie turned out well. I was not satisfied with the result of the cookies I'd made by myself at home. Something is just not right. However, today's cookie was lifted up to the expectation. Btw, I prepared the mixture today! Why the cookies will turn out well in the presence of the girls, but not when I'm alone? However, the brownie tasted a lil dry and bitter. Something went wrong somehow.

Hui Ting (aka Stop) shared a very special dream with us! She dreamt that we(s13 gals) open a confectionary shop. Sophia is in charge of baking and daily processes of our shop. Ting is the food chemist who ensure the amount of each ingredient is correct. Ting make sure the fat content and sugar content are within the acceptable range. For me, I market our products! FYI, Sophia major HR & Finance, Ting major Biochem Engineering and I major Marketing. All our role suit the course we're studying now. I've a suggestion...Audrey can be the Chef of our shop coz she can cook and bake very well! She's studying Maritine Engineering...so a lil no link to our business. Yun, who's studying Chemistry, can join Ting to take charge of our recipe. Ellyn, who's studying Architecture, can design our shop and maybe design our cake box and stuff. WOW! Each has our own significant role for our imaginary shop. Probably one day, we can realise this dream together!!!!!!! Will it happen? Probably we'll have to bake more to practise.

Pics will be up soon! After yun upload it to facebook. hahaha!

Somehow, my back is feeling a lil painful. Not sure if I sprain my back or I accidentally knocked into some hard object(no recollection of any such incident).

Wanna blog more but I'm feeling tired already!!! I've yet to share my fun and joyous Christmas Day, MCO Concert and New Year Day. Tata!!

The moment I step into the shop, she is laughing. And after that...keep giggling...can even giggle to tell me she got scolding in the morning, then afternoon got irritated by 'Chocolate'. WEIRD! haha!

Pre-Christmas Post

2008-12-23T11:38:00.000+08:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Tis the season to be jolly!

In the midst of a bleak economy future, I feel that the atmosphere has indeed dampened. No matter what I’m enjoying myself this festive season. Christmas has always been a holiday which I like.

Looking back to the past Christmas, I like all the parties attended and gifts received. I remember there’s one Christmas which I sobbed beneath the cushions. I was really angry! Haha! My mother promised to bring me out but she backed out! I was so sad that I cried till my mother and Ah yee gave in to me. Hahaha! I went out eventually but I’d already lost the Christmas mood. I went out unhappily and it was the year that I bought Jenga(toy).

I used to receive presents from my ah yee in the past. I’ll be anticipating it every year because the present will be wrapped up beautifully with greeting card attached. I enjoy the unwrapping times. However, as time goes by, the present eventually turn into cash. Well, cash is really something that I know how to make good use now. But, I think cash lacks sincerity. I put in effort in selecting the present I wanna give so I’ll assume the others will do the same too. To me, giving cash is like an easy way out. Actually, I said I want a comfortable swivel chair for Christmas this year. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to receive any. My 6th sense tells me I’m not getting it. Hahaha!

Haiz…Write this post until I’m so emotional already. Hahaha! If I haven’t written this post, I would have headed to the Dept Xmas party with Gwen. But right now, I don’t have the mood. I not sure why I’m feeling this way…I’m really a very temperamental person.

That’s all folks! Have a happy holidays! I hope all will like my gifts to you!

I'm finally a Couch Potato

2008-12-19T18:54:00.003+08:00

I'm finally a Couch Potato! I'm so glad!

Ever since I finished my last paper, I've been a workaholic. Weekdays at Company I, weekends at Company S or sometimes, morning at Company I and noon at Company S. Aiyah! all I can say my schedule is very messy. Besides all that, I've got to travel to Woodlands on my off day for co practices. All these means I have no time to slack at home.

At days I really feel that I'm gonna fall ill soon, but I'll eventually be okay. As in, I've yet to fall real sick. Choy! Sometimes I wonder what the energy that keeps me going. And today, I've realised that it's moolah that keeps me going! Times are bad now and I'm pretty glad that I'm still able to be so busy. School is starting soon and CNY is coming, thus expenses will come rolling in. Got to save for the rainy days. Or rather...earn for the rainy days!

Okay... I'm sounding glommy. Got a happy news to share. I'd bought all the gifts for Christmas! I'm all ready for Christmas! Can't wait! I hope everyone will like my gifts! No matter how big or how small the gifts are... I put in effort to get them and wrapped them up beautifully. hee! The little gifts I have prepared for my Beloveds and s13 gals are items which are readily available and common. But, I spent alot of time wrapping and decorating it. I used more time to wrap those gifts than my gift exchange ones. I'm so excited! hahaha! Can't wait to give out the presents. But before that, I've got to continue with my wrapping. Only finished 5 now.

So that's all folks! Have a happy holidays!

Malaysia Trip

2008-12-04T12:28:00.002+08:00

Hi peeps...Back from Malaysia.

Made a few 'phenomenons'...
1) Didn't buy any local snacks back
2) Didn't spend money on anything that's non-edible
3) Took the very local bus, rapid transit and monrail in KL
4) Felt bored while shopping
5) Saw a porcupine cross the road while on the way back to Singapore
6) Woke up early and headed to KLCC, but didn't manage to go up the Skybridge of the Twin tower. It's closed on MON!!!
7) Tried local food 'lok lok'
8) Tried 'Satay Cu lok' (don't know how to spell - it's the satay gravy steamboat)
9) Tried the very famous Melaka Chicken Rice (it's chicken rice ball)
10) Tried Melaka Wonton Mee in Singapore (yup....ta bao back to eat)

I think that's all. That's how I spent my 3 Days in Malaysia.

Facebook all the way

2008-11-28T16:34:00.003+08:00

What I did today...

1) Sleep or nap
2) Watch TV
3) Play facebook

I'm simply a couch potato... a big fat one... Hm... Well, I bet many out there, esp yih and ning, will hate my slacking lifestyle now.. hahaha! Your turn will come soon. Few more days left!

Well, actually I didn't slack alot. I've been working hard... earning money! hahaha!

After slogging for so many days and esp working for about 12 hours for the past three days, my body finally signal that she can't take it anymore. hahaha! I'm a little ill now, but after sleeping so much today, I felt better and quite ready for my Malaysia trip tomorrow. Packing not done yet and I'm not in the mood of packing yet. ahahhaa! What an irony... wanna play but don't wanna pack.

That's all folks... Be back on 2 Dec. A day where more people end their exams. Seeya folks! Jia you!

i'm bored

2008-11-21T11:05:00.003+08:00

It's only 11 O'clock and I'm feeling bored already! HOW!!

I kept yawning...feeling sian...feeling restless...counting down to the end of the day! ARGH!

Long Time No Blog

2008-11-15T23:36:00.004+08:00

Hi All, suddenly see so many msg on my tagboard. Rather overwhelmed! hahaha!

Anyway, I'm feeling tired recently. All because of work... I've been learning alot these few days... hahaha! It's as if I just started a new job. Everything was so new and unfamiliar to me and I've got to absorb and learn alot. Haha!

I'm rather tired now because I've been out for the whole day.
Saturday at Shaw is Chaotic, but today is exceptionally chaotic, according to the full time. But of coz today's sales broke this year's highest record of the day. hahaha!
Besides that, I think I'm gonna get a complain soon. hahaha! That complain really spoil my day! argh! Didn't expect it to come...when I was serving that customer, she rather nice to me too, didn't show any dissatisfaction at all. The next thing I know, the full time said she ask for the names of 3 staff, including myself, and going to write in soon. *Speechless*
Sold a 600 plus luggage nearly...coz payment isn't complete yet and that customer gonna come back tomorrow. That was my bigggest sense of achievement of the day because he was choosing between a 500 plus and that 600 plus bag. And I think I swayed his decision alot and made him choose the 600 plus bag instead. ahahaha! A lot of effort put in, so I deserve a pad on my own shoulder. hahaha!
Oh there's another incident...I took over the part timer to serve a customer who's going to flare up soon. I can sense she's quite unhappy with that part timer. I think she's happy with my service. ahahha!

That's all folks! Gotta work again tmr! Hope I'll be back blogging soon!

ps: I've formally withdraw from SYCO audition and I feel like I've just tendered in my resignation. =(

Thanks for all your concern

2008-11-10T23:34:00.003+08:00

Thanks for all you concern! Actually...I don't have fever, cough or flu. I just don't feel well. Feel like vomitting and having headache.

Today this very unpleasant feeling reach its optimum. Probably becoz I'm aniticipating today. hahaha! On the journey to school today, I wanna puke so much! The bus ride wasn't bumpy. It's entirely due to myself.

I was so scared that I may puke inside the hall. So I slip a plastic bag and a packet of tissue into my jacket pocket. To prepare for any mishap, should it really happen. Luckily nothing happen!

I think I should be sleeping liao! Seeya folks! I'm be busy from tomorrow onwards.

I'm not feeling well

2008-11-09T21:11:00.004+08:00

Counting down to my last paper. Meanwhile, I think I'm counting down to a potential fever outbreak too. Fever as in illness. I'm not feeling well now!

My body is feeling somehow similar to those times after I ton the night. Similar feeling when I was chionging my market research project, but in a mild form. I had 8 hours of sleep yesterday and the sensation is still there. So I reckon, I'm going to fall sick soon! But I do not wish such 'unfortunate event' to happen. It's because I'm gonna have my holidays soon and the activities for November are all planned. I'm fully packed! Pack with working... In this month, I'll go to 4 diffferent locations to work. wow! Amazing!

I don't have much appetite today. Ate some bee hoon, a peanut pancake, 2 bananas and a muffin. I think I'm going to get another banana. Hm..Am I turning into a monkey soon? hahaha!

Haven't talk to s13 gals for a long time. Miss them! I hope Audrey is having fun in snow. Look forward to 4 Dec.
I miss Masni and Grace! Gonna see them on Tue! can't wait!
I miss Horng! Seems like I haven't talk to her online for a long time liao!
I miss Beloveds! I guess I miss Ling the most...coz she's presents for us! ahaha! I'm so practical. I don't miss ying and sushi at all...hahaha! coz I think I see them on every other day! No chance to miss them. ahaha!

That's all folks! Mugging! Jia You!

ps: Please vote for my Elephy in the Fluff Pet Presidential Election! hahaha! Click on the link below. Thankew!

Rebirth of Zen

2008-10-21T22:43:00.003+08:00

Since I last step into my house, which is 19 Oct, Sunday, 10pm, I've yet to step out again.

Today I spent alot of time to mingle with my Zen. Finally, it had recovered! However, my entire library was wiped out. According to the web technical support, my file is corrupted.

I loaded in the SYCO 2008 Concert Video. Actually gaohu sounded not bad, but can be better. hahaha! Watched 'Gu Huai Xun Gen'. That's the song that makes us have cold sweat. It's really difficult! Not in terms of skills but emotions. Every movement and breathing were important to create the atomsphere and paint the picture. Really glad to have taken part in that song.

After watching the videos, I'm starting to miss SYCO again. Haiz~ Ever Since end of year 2, I'd been telling myself that this will be be last year in syco. However, this has never been so. Wanna very much keep myself away from syco next year because after what I'd been through this semesteran clearly picture my commitment in my studies in the next semester. BUT! I signed up for the audition again. ahahah!

Why didn't they adhere to the regulation, which they very much wanna implement this year. That is, to make the existing member, who had not met the minimum attendance rate, sit for the new member audition. Management had somhow concluded that I'd not met the minimum attendance, thus according to the letter issued in June, I am suppose to re-enter syco next year. If this rule is implemented, I would not sign up for the audition. Argh~

Next year, Mr Quek will be returning. It would be great to be part of SYCO and under his baton. But, I think there's about 90% chance that I'll quit half way and not participate in the June Concert. Haiz~ Whatever...

Time to go! Haven't been studying dilligently... got to make it up now! Is Ling back already? Seeya~

I'm the jinx...actually

2008-10-16T23:35:00.002+08:00

The bitter truth is out... Sad to say...I'm my own jinx...

My Creative Zen died on me this afternoon!

Therefore, I reckon that actually, I jinxed my own electric mixer.

2 very important items spoilt within a week! This is my most suay week in 2008! Who can fight with me for this kind of suayness? ARGH!

On a lighter note, I've a standby mp3, but...I'm simply disappointed! I want my Zen! I'm trying to console myself that my Zen is not completely dead yet coz it still can be switch on, just that it always hang. I hope my analysis is right! *Pray Hard*

Look at my post. Full of exclamation marks!! Can you feel the frustration in me??!?!?

That's all folks! Goodbye.

Online Shopping - Freebies

2008-10-14T22:46:00.003+08:00

Nothing is free in this world. And who actually can resist freebies? I can't...Can you?

Move your focus to the left panel of my blog...under the 'Links' section... Saw a big icon?
That's the icon that'll make you very happy with...Freebies!!

Yingning introduced this webby to me long ago...but I haven't had the time to mingle with it until now. Below are the 3 steps to take note.

1) You have to go to the web using my link (coz I'll get referral points!) and register yourself with them. All informations given to them got to be genuine coz they're going to send you the freebies. But before you can start getting any freebies, ensure your have DBS/POSB Internet Banking Account. It's because you've got to pay Fr3b postage fee for the freebies that you're getting. Yup...as for the rest, I think you've got to explore Fr3b yourself. It'll be more fun isn't it?

2) Do remember that you only can get an unique product for one time only! The next time you wanna get freebies, you've got to choose another item.

3) You also need to have points to get the freebies. Points can be earned through referral, reviews, survey and etc.

As for the rest, you've got to find out by yourself coz I'm new to Fr3b too! I just requested for my first freebies so now I'm waiting for Mr Postman to send me that freebies.

Isn't the concept of Fr3b great? It allows you to read feedbacks and have a chance to use the products. Bet you'll feel wary about purchasing such big volume of a particular product on shelf and worry about the effect of the products? Fr3b is a good platform to clear your doubts. And you'll no longer regret about the wrong purchase with the help of free trial packs.

Speaking about reviews...I think I've haven't been writing reviews on the stuff I use now... Maybe I'm getting busier and lazier...hahaha! But never mind...you can go to Fr3b instead.

That's all folks! I think I've written enough about Fr3b. Go try it out ok! Remember to click on my link! hahahaha! Tataz~

Jinx! Mixer

2008-10-14T18:19:00.003+08:00

Everyone...

My Philips Electric Mixer is SPOILT! ROSAK!

Very sad! I can't believe that my 6 months old mixer will die after just 4 baking sessions! I wonder if I jinxed my own mixer....or....sushi jinxed it... hahaha!! (an open joke which me and sushi already know)

My last mixer worked for one year and died when I was baking cookie with Beloveds. Sushi was there too for that session. So who jinxed the mixer? hahaha!

Luckily this time round the mixer is still under the 2 years warranty period. So I'm gonna head to the service centre at TPY after 10 Novemeber. Anyone wanna go TPY with me??

It's the mugging period for me now and I didn't seem to adjust well to it! ARGH!! I want to study and I need to study!!

Getting free=exam stress building

2008-10-07T23:54:00.002+08:00

Saw my msn nick? 'I wanna get to bed by 1am everyday' I actually followed rather strictly to it now! And usually I'll doze off before 1am then get to bed properly around 1am.
I've been keeping myself busy since last fri...this time I'm busying playing.. hahaha! not project! hahaha felt so happy! Finally made it throught the roughest times.

For the past few days, I'd made cookies, watched movie, went shopping and made tiramisu. Wow! Some much accomplished!

A review on Buyer Behaviour- How I felt after I finished the project. What had happened were a combi of the incidents from Org Behaviour and Market Research. Just that the effect was not as strong. To sum up everything, project is a test of your knowledge application and management of relationships.

It's 12.12 am now and I'm feeling tired liao! hahaha! But gotta go touch my books and flip some pages first. hee!!

That's all folks! Seeya all!

TV Fever

2008-09-29T23:02:00.003+08:00

My TV Fever gonna start soon! It's probably already started! hahaha!

Starting off from Monday! Actually it's today, 11pm... today it's the start of the new season of Amazing Race!!! My ultimate favourite Reality Show!

Next up is Thursday! 11pm Project Runway! OMG! That's my latest new love. Have been watching the past 2 seasons thus I can't miss this of coz!

Friday is survivor! Well, it's the only show that I can afford to miss. Somehow I can allow myself to miss some episodes. Even though I'll miss it, survivor will always have recaps on the past happenings. So after watching the review, I can catch back the whole show again. I try not to get hook by survivor now! hahaha!

Besides the reality shows, I really love Hong Kong Drama! hee! Been missing the 8pm Ch 55 show and fortunately I'm not really hook by that show coz I missed it frequently. If I watch it from the start I'm sure to be glued to tv at 8pm daily. heng arh! But! A new show is coming up...it's about social dancing. Looks very interesting! I hope to watch it but I think it's going to debut near my exam period. haiz~

9 pm Ch 55 show! It's of coz my favourite of all coz it's starring lin feng! hahaha! I also missed lots of epi already, but if I'm at home, I'm sure to glue myself to the tv at 9pm.

Okay...listen up! Gonna introduce all of you a damn nice show!!!
Le Femma Desporado
I watched twice already and I think I'm gonna watch the third time on Ch U. That show will debut next thurs at 10pm. Be sure to catch it! Damn nice! Coz there's lin feng! Shuai! hahaha! Not forgetting the two very witty and beautiful main female leads. Wu Mei Heng and Deng Cui Wen... Without them in the show, even lin feng also can't draw that much attention from me. hee! Ladies out there!! Remember to watch ok! Coz that show is dedicated to you all!

That's all folks! I've got lots to do... Write report...Dig gems... haha! Seeya!

Looking forward to 4 Oct

2008-09-28T14:33:00.003+08:00

I'm looking forward to 4 Oct!!!

Seriously...the past week was crazy for me!! Very torturous!

Review on Market Research Project=Very difficult!

Market research---> Statistic---> Maths
Frankly speaking, I quite like statistic when I was in JC and the business stats mod was my favourite last semester. However, doing those questions and learning to form those questions and carry out the testing was no easy task! Of coz... you can just form the question on blank paper...but in project you've gotta use software aid, such as SPSS, to help you achieve your aim. SPSS is not like MS Words or excel...you may not know how to use excel but that programme is readily available in your computer. So...it's hard to get that programme and to find someone to teach you how to use. You must be thinking...can borrow books and read mah..well, you're right...however, after reading we still cannot figure out how to use it. haiz!

Thursday 5pm was the deadline for the project on the same day 9am. Yup! Stayed over at my friend's place to chiong the project! Broke my own record for toning the night! All of them nap on the bus(from sch to house) and at my friend's house...but I'm the only one who didn't rest at all!

There're moments when me and SH felt that our heart pumped very fast! We were really nerous at times coz we really felt clueless and directionless about the project. Haiz! So we type and type all the way till around 6am while compiling and found out that...We'd missed out a section! The section cost 8%(out of my total grade)! So me and SH panicked!!

So Thurdays I went home and slept on my bed for 2 hours and went to work. I felt that I'm like a zombie walking around my counter! I even answered a question which I felt that it's wrong, but I still gave that answer. After that I consulted my colleague and confirm that the answer was wrong. Amazing! of coz...the answer has no implication. so no big deal with that wrong answer.

Right now, I've gotta do another project, which is going to due on 4 Oct. Seriously... felt so ARGH! regretted choosing that section to do. I thought that section would be interesting and I'll be able to gain alot from it, but I hated that part now! Because...got to put in alot of effort!!! Mw and I were in charge of that section...after reading it...we think it's also a part that's rolled over from my fren's part. so we spilt some job to her. but! fri she emailed us and said that she's no textbook and won't be helping us with that. WOW! no textbook also have lecture notes rite? what to say now? nothing...just do my part loh! This tells us...don't try to act smart next time. If can push...push! ahahaha!!! but of coz...I'm not those irresponsible sort so won't push that much. hahaha!

That's all folks! It's Consumer Behaviour project time!!!

Lesson Learnt From Organisational Behaviour

2008-09-22T23:21:00.003+08:00

Lesson Learnt From Organisational Behaviour

1. Conflict is unavoidable. Constructive conflict will be preferred! Constructive conflict refers to those arise from the task, no personal involvement at all.

2. Be impartial. Do not judge others by appearance or hearsay

3. EQ is very important. I think it's slightly important than IQ

Today is the submission of my organisational behaviour. Though I'd written the conclusion of the report on Sat, I think today is the day which I really concluded the whole organisational behaviour project with an important lesson learnt.

Organisational behaviour is an extremely important module of all. It taught you about the different types of behaviour and gave insights on how to survive in a company later on. With the aid of OB, you'll be able to understand and master mind games better.

Well, today, a very childish fight occured. WJ wasn't happy that, me, SH and MW reprinted the whole report without seeking permission from the other team mates. Errr....WJ said we did not respect her as our group mate. Seeking permission for such matter is extremely important because we're doing a group project. (*pause for a second. Did you go....What?!!)

Hm... So I replied... 'We've got to reprint the whole project because RMIT assignment submission guideline states that we must print the report on single side' (first print was on double side). Quarrel started...but not particularly with me actually. MW shoot back...'You need not pay for the reprint'. The fighting went on and I'm really feeling so ridiculous!

After I left the LT, I received a call from WJ asking me the exact page and line from the course guide of the requirement to print on single side. DOT! Such a ridiculous phone call! Quarrel with me so much...keep saying this is a group project yet we act on our own. When I sort of convinced her to let go on such trival matter (that's becoz I reminded her of her absence during the group meeting), she started to harp that she's hurt by MW remark. She thinks it's an insult to tell her that she need not pay for the reprint...it's as if saying that she doesn't have the money to pay. (* pause: are you rather puzzle now? haha)

Well, WJ is actually pin-pointing at MW and not me, but she doesn't want to talk to MW and called me to tell me those shit. This is such a childish fight...

WJ was pre-occupied with some negative hearsay of MW (too long to narrate now). So every meeting it's so clear that she's out to go against MW.
MW was somehow insensitive with her reply. My first reply was...'it was RMIT criteria to print on single side'. But MW's reply was...'you need not pay for the reprint'.

This incident has showed me...
1. Personal conflict occur. WJ was against MW and not the reprint, but she uses the reprint part to flare up
2. WJ was not impartial at all. She form an impression of MW by hearing what others say and not through interaction with her.
3. Both do not display high EQ. WJ harp on such trival matter, while MW is not careful with words.

That's all folks! Hope you all learnt a lesson from this lil story. If you happen not to understand me, please pardon me. Coz today's incident was a result of a chain effect... got to explain alot to fully understand what's happening.

I go off liao! Seeya!

How to complete your homework in a short time?

2008-09-16T23:45:00.002+08:00

Now it's 11.46am. How to finish your accounting assignment in a short time while you still have to do your market research project and your organisational behaviour project by tomorrow so that you can send your parts to your group mates and proceed with the report? This is such a good question! Read on to find out how!

Time required to complete 2 past year exam questions
In an exam condition, you need 3 hours to do one paper. That's when you're fully prepared and your know your stuff at finger tips. However, in this 3 hours you're bound to have some mental block. In a normal condition, I bet you'll need at least 3 hours to complete the paper without referecing to notes. Usually, in normal condition, you'll strive to give your best in an assignment, thus you'll attempt all questions and provide sufficient anwsers. Hence you need at least another hour to flip through your notes and think. Therefore, to complete 2 past years papers for assignment purpose, you require a minimum of 6 hours.

Amount of time in hand
My accounting lesson starts at 10am tomorrow and I'll have to hand in that piece of assignment by 10am. If I hand in past 10am, it wouldn't be counted and all my efforts will be wasted. From now till tomorrow 10am. I've 10 hours. Minus the time required to do the questions, I'll have 4 hours left. I need about 1 hour 30 mins to school. So that'll be 2 hours 30 mins to do MR, OB, sleep, bathe and pack bag. Question is...how to squeeze in so many tasks in such a short time?

Opportunity Cost
The answer lies in a theory in economy called the 'opportunity lost'. Do I spent 6 hours to get the full 12% of the final score or do I spent that same 6 hours to get 35% of OB final score and 40% of MR final score. An economist will definitely choose the later, that is to spend 6 hrs on OB and MR, because the effect to forgone that 6 hours is greater. You can't afford to lose it.

Being a business student and especially I'm a marketing student, my greatest interest is to generate the greatest profit for my organisation/group. Facing such condition, my concern is to choose the best out of the worst!

In conclusion, the fastest way to complete your homework is to... ...
DON'T DO YOUR WORK AT ALL!!

This also means I'll have 3 missing attendance for the accounting class because I won't be going to the class tomorrow since I'm not handing in my work. I'll have more time to do my MR and OB properly and more time to rest!

ps: If you find this post amusing...then you've got it! That's the point! It's suppose to be. I find this so amusing! Hahaha! In order to stop my accounting grade from worsening I'll have to work triply hard for my final exam!!! I just want a credit...that's all!

That's all folks! Got to start working on my project!

ARHH moments

2008-09-15T20:29:00.004+08:00

My holidays gonna officially start on 10 November 2008, 4.30pm onwards. It seems like I ended my sem around the same time as last year, but this year I started one month earlier. Doesn't that means I have a longer sem? or maybe because I've longer studying period. It's a good thing to have a longer study period coz this sem have no test at all. Up till now, I didn't revise. I've been doing project, projects and more projects.

I'm looking forward to 4 Oct! It's the day I'll submit my last project and after that can go havoc for a while! hahaha! gonna eat korea bbq at far east after that! can't wait!

Very pissed now! got to do all question for 2 past year papers for accounting tutorial submission! That submission is actually to punish those people who has missed 2 lessons/didn't sign attendance on 2 days. I'm one of them! ARGH! I went for all lessons and wasn't late for any! But because there're 2 times I didn't mark my attendance(lazy to so didn't bother), I had to submit the assignment. If not I would get the full 12 marks for the tutorial submission which will account to my overall result. ARGH! so damn it! This story tells us... Please remember to sign your attendance! Don't be lazy although attendance may not seem important. You never know when your lect will go mad and want you to account for those missing attendance!

To end off this post....Sit back and relax for another wacky commercial.
ps: the very last scene is very much what I feel like doing now!

Super BUSY

2008-09-12T02:41:00.004+08:00

I'm so Fan4 Jian4 now. I just finished a portion of my assigned work and should be going to sleep coz tomorrow morning got to complete another portion for tmr's meeting. It's 2.43am and I still have the urge to blog.

I've another interesting commercial to share with you all and I think I better note it here immediately before I become occupied with my project stuff and forget it completely.

This week is very hectic. Got to complete loads of work and to learn lots of new stuff, such as pivot table from yu shi. Tmr got to learn spss from ying ning.

Enough of crap liao... Here's the commercial. Sit back and relax!

Feeling sad

2008-09-03T22:47:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling a lil down today! Suddenly felt that I really detest studying...alright...I shan't be so harsh... I dislike studying. Haiz...

I keep thinking that I'm really shallow. I study not because I love to and really enjoying it. I do it because of other people's wish and of coz for the future. But of coz, I really feel privilege to have the chance to study.

Today I met wei ye, cui fen and hong han at Isetan! Cool! Long time never see them! Really miss them and the days back at SAC.

The question popped up again... 'Aren't you tired? Gotta go school in the morning and then work in the afternoon.' I always answer that it's okay...used to it so don't feel tired. Well, in fact, if I've a choice, I will choose to go home.

Tons of work waiting for me to complete or to even start with it... Not a single revision done. Exams are coming soon, though I've yet to receive the exam schedule. I hope to laze around!

I'm an optimist! I'll feel happy soon.

Cheers!
