Service Quality was interesting today. we did some role playing and learnt how to tackle the different types of customers. went off for tuition before going off to jurong point. i finally bought a new laptop casing, after so many months, and a new pair of shoes. :D
oh yah, the service in certain shops is really super damn lousy.
i went to this shop and tried on a top and 2 bottom. while trying, the sales assistant pushed another bottom to me. so i tried and felt that all of them werent really my type. so i told the sales assistant that i take a look around first. and my god, her face turned black instantenously, like i owed her money or something. and as i returned the clothes to her, she kept quiet and stared at me. whoa. EXCELLENT service huh. no thank you, no nothing. if i patrnoize your shop and try on the clothes means that i must buy something from there is it, even if it doesnt suit me or i dont like it. -________________________- it really spoilt my mood la. might as well ask me go and jump into the river. ohhh. hahahahah.
gonna go for retail therapy again tml, but this time, it is for official business. haha. Service Quality Project. wowow.
time for GBE and UCCD reports. =)
school sucks today. partly because i am almost dying.
my throat hurts. i lack of sleep. i cant think properly.
perhaps i need a drink. haha.
i gave the cinenow job a miss cause my dad wasnt really that supportive of me going for that job. okay. shall stop ranting. gonna go home already.
now i understand how you felt.
Friday
my sis and i met up with my aunt at orchard. we had the marmalade pantry at palais renaissance for dinner. woo. their crab linguine and sweet sticky date are damn uber delicious. after that, on the way home, we walked past these sleazy clubs at Orchard Tower. oooommmggg. the girls are so skimpily dressed. i got the shock of my life when i saw this woman with only a piece of cloth covering her breasts. it looked as if the breasts are going to jump out any moment. okay la. maybe i am too innocent.
Saturday
went to popular to get some stuffs for my cousin. bought some Andes chocolates while on the way to clarkequay to meet the nightspots group for bar hopping. the experience at the first bar wasnt really that nice. the toilets are sooo clean and smells damn nice. the experience at the second bar - China One is the best. their live band and ambience are really very nice, not forgetting their fries and the china bed.
How to save a life by The Fray
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
to me, it is the best place to chill so far. hahah. but i left around 11 plus, as i have a curfew. haha. sad.
Sundaymet up with jacie for UCCD at aljunied. visited the buddhist society and went to citylink later to do our report. had Asian Kitchen for dinner. nice prawn fried rice. =) reached home and continued with my smoking project.
Mondaywe had our GBE presentation. i think it went quite smoothly though i stumbled a little while i was presenting. went off to tuition after that. ohh. i think i am going to be sick soon. i am having a blocked nose and my throat feels like its on fire. anyway, i've got the motivation to work now. hahahaha. cause jacie just said smth nice to me. HAHAHA. off i shall go. update another time. =)
- does it worth celebrating?
nowadays, being a tuition teacher is not simple at all. besides the daily routine of teaching them and giving them homework, i am helping my kid to do her health education project "Anti-Smoking Campaign" as well. she is supposed to type a 10-page report, including cover page, and submit it as SA2. my aunt wasnt too happy as she felt that this subject is like sort of wasting her time, which she could use for her revision. i guess it is tough being a kid today. they are already exposed to projects and reports at such a young age.
i think i inherited kaipa's niaoing skills. i was using my com when suddenly my dad came in and asked me, " eh. outside got two boats leh. or maybe sampans. you know whose one not?" then i was like thinking who the hell is so rich to drive a boat up to the 20th floor. i wasnt making any sense, so i went out to take a look. he went over to the shoe shelf and pointed at my pair of black shoes and announced, "maybe i should build and poke a flag through these two gigantic ships."
wthhhhhhh. damn niao. lol. that pair of shoes i wore for dont know how many months already and only went out of shape and looked enlarged/expanded/extremely loose. and he said my feet looked like 2 big ships. zzzzzzzzzzz.
music in my life
lol. i love skype! cause i can videocall my beloved cousin all the way from China! hahahaha.
i am now listening to "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx. it's such an old song already. feeling emo already. haha.
today, i met up with rac and mj for the UCCD temple-visiting. diarrhea-ed before i left the house. saw yesterday's dinner lying in the toilet bowl. okay. a bit disgusting. hahhah. we had Mac for breakfast. the visit to the temple was all in all a great and new experience, even though my parents brought me to temple before. the nun in charge is super friendly. she kept stuffing us with bananas and oranges. hahaha. she taught us about the teachings of buddhism, the practices blah blah blah. but the part that i remembered super vividly is the part regarding the 18 levels of hell. she said something about once being banished to hell, you will never be able to reincarnate unless buddha or the worldly people help you. you will be banished to hell if you tell lies or harm other people. i think i better accumulate some good deeds right now, after all those lies i have told. haha. i dont want to be sent there and never reincarnate again.
sometimes i wonder, there is this saying that, after a person died, he/she will reincarnate. but before that, they are supposed to make their way to this bridge whereby he/she will drink the "meng bo tang" or something, which will make you forget everything about your current life. is there any way to avoid drinking that. i would not want to forget my life, would you? all those wonderful things that have happened, all those joys and laughters you once had, all those tears we once shed and all those troubles that we have overcomed. yes, maybe in buddhism practices, you are supposed to unclutch yourself from worldly affairs and feelings and return to the buddhaside and enjoy eternity peace and wisedom. but i wouldnt want to forget all those wonderful memories. just a random thought of mine. =)
one more day has passed. there's school tml i have not watch my heroes2 episode 1. i wonder when will i have the time to watch it.
oaky. report time!
today is MY lucky day. hahah.
i dropped my beloved wallet in starbucks.
i only came to realise that my wallet was missing after leaving that place for 15 minutes.
panicked a bit, went back and luckily the guy who found it handed it over to the staff.
THANK GOD NOTHING WAS MISSING.
otherwise, i will be chewing on the grass in SP for the next few weeks.
tml will be going to the temple in Bukit Panjang with Rac and MJ for UCCD.
it's going to be another long day.
WOOT.
i want to buy a lot of things.
maybe a new wallet.
maybe a pair of jeans.
a big water bottle.
a new bag.
a new laptop casing. my current one is like a sponge already. damn soft and nua. lol.
a file.
an eraser. i lost mine in school lah. still have to borrow from my sis.
develop photos.
a nice box.
a stack of foolscape paper.
i have been giving extra tuition to my kid.
of course free of charge.
do i look like that sort that would charge extra fees? lol.
she will be having her end of year examinations one week later.
damn stress ah.
she did the maths revision paper yesterday all by herself
and she got only three questions wrong.
it looked like a sign of improvement. though she took the whole day to finish that paper.
still, it is an improvement. =)
hope i can get the part-time job i applied online.
i want to gain as many skills as possible while i still can.
imagine me still job-hopping when i am 30 years old.
no stable career. no stable income. no money to spend. no money to shop. lol.
okay. shall end off here. gonna go research more for UCCD already. nites.
no amount of words would be able to show a dad's love for his kid.
dad, thank you for everything that you have done for me.
and no, today is not father's day la. just that this disney thingy makes me cherish the loved ones around me even more. even though he is like watching every of my movements and suspecting that i have a bf and scolding me, he is just expressing his concerns for me.
i seriously love walking, but at my own slow pace. lol. walking in school and rushing here and there always make me perspire. walks give you time to think as you listen to your mp3..
there's this barrier between us, which i cant describe. it is automatically formed when i see you. that is maybe the reason why when we talk, we often end up in disputes. i tried changing but it got worst. maybe i dint try hard enough. but i am on the verge giving up already. yes, nobody is perfect. maybe i should stop painting beautiful images of you in my mind.
we are all still growing up. it is common to make mistakes, but we must know how to amend them. no point in knowing our mistake and still repeating them. my aunts are wonderful. they are there to guide me and to advice me when i am at a loss. without the captains, this lost ship would probably have not make it to the bay.
this week i spent hell lots of money. but it makes me happy and it is worth it. at least it cheers me up. i would probably be skipping school tml. i am not in the mood for school. but i dont want to miss UCCD tutorial. her tutorials are always fun and interesting and i always learnt a lot of new stuffs in her tutorials. shall see how first bah.
okay. shall end here.
-leave me alone and i will stone.
it's back to the war times again.
racing against time.
handling several projects at once.
trying hard to produce a good piece of report..
FRIDAY
me, rachael and sukie went to cityhall to hunt for formal wear. i managed to buy one at G2000blue. cheap cheap. after that, we had Asian Kitchen for dinner. saw zhi min working over there. she told me a shocking news. xin ping, the girl who came together with her from China, had ran off. zhi min is really really nice. she even treated us ice lemon tea. she is really very hardworking and a very nice girl. hope that everything will be okay for her. haha. sukie dint order a spring chicken this time. its pork cutlet rice. she said it's very nice. should try it the next time i am there.
hahaha. me and my prawn wanton mee. the mee like a bit soggy. very nice pic. i think my face looks as round as the bowl.
SATURDAY
i went to meet sukie after my tuition. we went to sinhui's house to swim, not on the bathroom floor of course. it is the real swimming pool that i am swimming in. jacelyn was there too, though she dint swam. we swam to and fro, got breathless, rest a while then got off the pool already. after that, ate a bit at westmall before going home.
SUNDAYwe had botak jones at AMK for dinner. their fish and chips are nice, especially their fries. spicy and hot and not too salty. when i was out, my dad called and sort of questioned or interrogated me. he kept asking who i was with and where i am and blah blah blah. he suspects that i got a bf outside due to the reason that i have been going out quite often. -.- now he is watching me like a hawk already.
MONDAYtoday, they had another thaiexpress gathering at Asian Kitchen at Citylink. but i decided to be a good girl and come back home early, in case my dad drives down all the way to citylink to check who i am with. today's GBE tutorial was pretty fun. mr Andrew Grey divided our class into 5 groups, which represented 5 different countries. each of the countries specializes in producing a certain type of goods. we are supposed to trade with one another, keeping to our own obligations, and by the end of everything, we are suppose to attain a balanced economy. it was fun to see how we negotiated with one another, made trades or deals, lied to one another, sucked a hell lots of profits from a country and etc. the world is full of deceptions. haha.
okay. gonna go have a cup of coffee before continuing my report already.
- why am i always confusing myself.
ohhh it's been some time since i updated my blog. i am in the business library now. i love my gems too - the Chinese idioms one. It's pretty good cause the lecturer allows us to leave once our attendance is taken. woooooooo. that explains why i am here now..
school was okay. there are two days now, whereby we have to be in formal wear.
Mila's standard: formal wear = formal wear with business suits. smart casual = formal wear.
Our standard: formal wear = formal wear. smart casual = polo tee and jeans. lol.
she's at a level higher than us. but it's for our own good anyway. to prepare us for the working life in the future. grand canyon leh. lollollol.
it's only the second week of school and projects are piling up. i quite like the modules global business environment and understanding cross cultural diversities. it's interesting in a way, better than the module regarding hotel's security. there are seriously a lot of projects - GBE, UCCD, GOM, HSITA and SQ. i think should go cut roasted pig already, to bless the projects to be smoothsailing and wonderful.
a random note. last night, my mom and i cabbed back from the MRT station. staying near the MRT station has both its advantages and disadvantages. my home is just a 15-minute walk from the MRT station. when i am feeling energetic, i walk home. but when i am feeling super tired, i take the bus. but while waiting for the bus, i looked at the taxi stand next to it. it's so tempting la. if i take the cab, it will only take 3 minutes and cost $2.70!! cheap cheap! maybe i should skip lunch in school and cab home everyday. shiok.
okay. i am suppose to be looking for information regarding the US and China military conflicts. i should go focus now. hahahaha.
- you never know. you never try.
does this song reminds you of chalet? even though the song has been played for like dont know how many times during chalet, i still quite like it. haha.
i finally used up the leftover 3 pax of cheese. made oreo and mixedberries cheesecakes today. even though i added too many sugar, replaced vanilla flavoring with vanilla icecream cone and accidentally poured in too much whipped topping, the cake still turned out to be alright. hahaha. what a miracle.
and i finally finished watching heroes, after several nights of chasing. cant hardly wait for part 2.
shall end with a chalet photo. time to sleep. =)
elearning week next week and MST week the week after that. weet. 2 weeks of holidays!! HAHAHAHA. oh yah, and many congrats to my sis for her wonderful results!! okay. gonna end my post with a nice picture already.
