other people are having their holidays and i am having my holidays too, but why do i have difficulty falling asleep every night?! my rings are getting darker already. =( woke up at 10 plus today and rushed off to cityhall to meet tong, leann and elisha for movie. we caught the "The Eye" and we all agree that the chinese version is still better. still, the part that involves the lift one is still forever and ever scary la. WTH. and poor leann, she hurt herself during work. BUT, we showed no pity. hahaha. leann, take care of yourself and get well soon, otherwise there will be no end to our niaoings. lol. next week we will be going our separate ways soon! a new life, with new colleagues and new friends. hmmmm.
anyway, i love teo meijun to bits. hhaha. cause she will supply me with ice-cream every now and then, right? =)
i still dont know what's my decision. i dont know what my heart says. i'm afraid i cant commit.
sometimes, i think those HR agencies arent really very good and beneficial. yes, they may be the ones providing you with the jobs. BUT, they have their own terms and conditions that you have to follow too. for e.g. one of the terms stated that you cant accept any personal job offers from anyone within one year of contract with them otherwise you would have to pay a sum of $1000. if you were working on a part-time job in Hotel 123 and upon seeing that you are so diligent and hardworking, Hotel 123 decided to offer you a place in their hotel, you cant accept their offer, otherwise you would have breached the contract. personally, i feel that this isnt really attractive. what if a better job comes along? what if a job of your dreams decided to appear before your eyes within that year? do you breach the contract and pay the HR agency $1000 or do you reject the offer and see your dreams waving goodbye to you? for me, i dont want to make either one of the decisions. just a matter of perspective.
HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TING =)
it's time for you to get some tanning. hahaha.
a day out with yujia and ting! i haven seen them for like a thousand years already. ever since we've graduated from swiss, we each have our own lives to lead. but i'm glad and thankful that we are still meeting up every once in awhile. i sort of miss our usual bickerings and chattings. haha. so, after much walking, we finally decided to settle down at a cafe in Paragon's for dinner. both the food and ambience was nice. err. we sort of celebrated tingting's belated birthday. ting, you must make use of your present hor. haha. went back to Lot 1's Mac for more chats. they sort of gave me a mini tutorial on mahjong. hohoho. i shall try my skills and luck on some online website when i'm free. i shall be the new mahjong queen. sorry.
some pictures
random pic: hazelnut cake from coffeebean! =)
this time, you shall lean on me.
next time, make sure your shoulder is available for me to cry on.
haha.
tingting with her new best friend. hoho.
6 years and still counting :D
and yujia, i really hate celery.
and meijun, stop forcing me to eat ice-cream. HAHAHA.
2.28am! time to sleep!
dont ever let it slip past you. it wont come knocking on your door twice.
face down. then put your left arm on the pillow
and your right arm under the pillow.
last night, i wanted to sleep, but the moment i closed my eyes, i saw myself distributing away balloons furiously. the aftermath of the roadshow. -.-. then one of my friends sent me this and poof, i immediately went into a concussion. nice remedy.
and ron called me yesterday! life at jetstar seems to be coming very fast now. another new beginning. another start.
work hard, kailin!
an old friend that was being forgotten
i flew online at 10.30am instantly when i woke up, without washing up. yes, that was how eager i am. i want to know my results asap! the results were unexpected but i am thankful for the grades.
i was supposedly to accompany my grandma to the hospital today but i woke up late. guiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguiltyguilty.
day out tml!
i'm glad i worked
i hate last minute changes. i hate people accusing me for doing things that i dint. even if my parents accuse me for something i dint do, i will talk back at them without hesitation. yeah. probably i will get struck by lightning one of these days. haha. *choy. touchwood* but i really dont like the feeling of being accused. hah. that's my character.
29th Feb is a nice date! it only occurs once in every 4 years. i think that date is rather meaningful. errr. random. haha. life has been rather slack these two days. watching dramas, animes, chatting madly on msn, walking around the house and relaxing. time flies rather fast. our attachment is less than a week away!! sad. i dont want to take the 1hr and 30 minutes ride to changi. =(
i just need a little miracle.
IDA Infocomm Roadshow 20th - 24th Feb at Suntec City Tower 3
new faces
hurray! today was the last day of work. i had a different job, for a change. i was the clicker, whereby i am supposed to keep track of the number of people entering the exhibition area via one of the gates, using a small device. the good thing about this job would be that you get to sit on the chair all day long and stare/stone/sms as long as you keep your eyes on the gate. but the bad thing is that you can slack and play all you want, provided that you will not fall asleep. the job was quite a mental torture - you sit and click and click and click for hours and it can be quite a bore.
this 4-day job was another eye-opener for me. got to know a couple of new faces, including this guy who was in charge of the sound system. he is very nice, cause he kept offering us tidbits when we were working hard. lol. on top of that, he left me this message before he left - work smart, and not, work hard. how true. i must say i indeed work hard. even though i might not be the most hardworking, but i will still fulfill my duties and perform the tasks that were assigned to me. i will try my very best not to slack. self-responsibility i guess. but this doesnt necesaary means it is good okay. if you can take a shorter route to perform the task, why bother taking the longer route? both routes will eventually achieved the same level of performance what. and working hard alone cant really get you anywhere. you have to work smart - learn how to tackle and solve the different problems, learn how to fight off problems, learn how to come up with new ideas and etc. then you will be able to assure yourself of a secure place. random thinking again.
tml shall be my day at home. my legs and fingers need ample rest. time to sleep.
i am damn swollen right now. guess i am really getting old. it has been ages since i've worked okay. the last time i worked was a few months back, when i was still in thaiexpress. my index finers and thumbs are swollen. my legs are swollen. have been walking continuously for quite a number of hours for 3 days now. moreover, rides towards cityhall in the mornings and back to yewtee in the nights are forever crowded and you can hardly even find a place to sit. sad.
distributing balloons is really fun, as compared to distributing flyers. the smile on the kid's face when he got the balloon is simply very cute and heart-warming and makes one feel very happy. haha. and not forgetting the times whereby kids run after you for balloons, shouting " i want baa-loon!" haha. sweet. but, there was this once, when i had already passed the balloon to the kid, his ah gong turned to the kid and said "dont take lah. no use." and the next moment i knew, the balloon was being thrown inside the dustbin, right in front of my face! )$&!@)(#*)@!(#* WTH. i was fuming then. if you dont want the balloon, then at least return it back to me lah. i am just behind you only. no need to throw into the dustbin in front of my face also what. aiyo, uncle ah.
alright. time to sleep. tml would be the last day of work. gambette!
you will just have to walk alone
wednesday's lunch was spent at HK's cafe at Marina Bay. their milk tea is damn fragant and it is a hundred times way better than those that you find in bubble tea shops. briefing for work ended at 7. caught the movie "Jumper" with my friend at night. the movie sucks. there's no storyline at all. they focused too much on his ability to teleport already i think. on the way home, i accidentally alighted at bukit gombak station and i think the station was really eerie, cause there was hardly a single soul in sight and it was nearing midnight.
thursday, which is today, started off at 5.30am. lol. my blur maid woke me up at the wrong timing. i was supposed to wake up at 6.30am instead. but nevermind, i couldnt get to sleep anyway. and i almost suffocated in the mrt again. i wonder what is wrong this time round. thank god i prepared some sweets beforehand. work was super tiring. it has been ages since i have stood for 4 hours continuously. we were told on the briefing on wedensday that we were supposed to be balloon distributors, but today, we were assigned to be flyer distributors instead. it was said that the balloons would only be delivered during the weekends. and so i realised, distributing flyers aint an easy task. you have to fake a smile, constantly speak, answer enquiries and as well as to carry a heavy load of brochures with your hand. my hand was shaking rather badly after 4 hours. my waist felt as if it was going to break into two by 10pm. my knees looked like they are going to cave in any minute when i reached home. it is really aint no relaxing job at all. haha. next time, if i see any flyer distributors along the streets, i will definitely take the flyers from them already. the other part-timers who were working with us were rather friendly as well. and it was rather surprising to see brandon and his gf there too.
anyway, i have to built up my health asap already. it takes only 25 minutes to travel from jurong east station to cityhall station via the mrt. BUT it takes a bloody freaking long 68 minutes to travel from jurong east to changi airport! OMG! i think i will be in a coma before i even reach the airport.
i thought i was ready to face it. but i wasnt. let's just say i am a coward. it's too late to say anything now too. i let it slipped past me. i've learnt a precious lesson when i was in my secondary school days. if it falls upon you, then go for it. dont hide. dont be scared. face it. take up the challenge. who knows what the future has for you.
alright. 3 more days of work to go.
the untold story behind
are you going to live the rest of your life,
dwelling and brooding over the matter, or would you rather spend that time wisely?
what good would it do if you just sit there and think about it.
so, get up and move on.
instead of pushing yourself to a tiny little corner, try taking the first step out.
life might be even better. who knows?
wooo. time to go for briefing!
it's time for me to open my eyes & appreciate the world around me.
a small and simple chalet (:
we only touched the vodka.
day 1 was spent having occasional pillow fights, splashing and fooling around in Wild Wild Wet, watching Final Destination 2 and I Pronounce You Chuck and Larry in our room and spending some time sitting under the silvery moonlight.
day 2 started off at 10 plus with Mac for breakfast, more pillow-fights back in our rooms, snatching for blankets, playing cards, more sleeping, watching Final Destination 2, again, and Step Up and having our dinner at some dimsum restaurant in Geylang, which serves really super nice dimsums and chilli sauce.
and and,
OMG! Step Up is really really darn cool! i love it. all those who are in love with dance should really watch it. the dance movements, their music, the way how Channing Tatum had danced & the instrumental version of Bout It by Yung Joc. omg. darn nice! Step Up 2: The Streets is coming soon. sort of caught parts of it on youtube. looks nice to me! (:
and i love the way how he had conducted the band at the showcase. hahahaha. nice!
i managed to get hold of the 4-day part-time job which involves some IDA roadshow that will be held from this coming thursday to sunday. there would be some sort of job briefing tml at Suntec. hope the job wouldnt be that tiring cause the salary per hour isnt kind of really attractive. haha.
and, my aunt and her family flew back to China on Monday morning. cant really bear them to leave, but they will always be back again - this july. (: my sis and i had a really enjoyable weekend with them. i actually went shopping with my aunt. initially, i was really scared that we might ran out of topics to talk or there might be some generation gap or something. but apparently, to my surprise, i did have fun shopping and chatting with her. (: my sis went to Wild Wild Wet instead with my cousin and they got themselves a really nice tan. awww. envy.
sometimes these facts can be really cruel:
not everything will go the way i want it to be.
not everyone can accept me for who i am.
not everyone will appreciate the things you do.
you may have tried your bestest and did everything that you could but it just looks like it's not working. maybe it is not destined to be, or not meant to be. so no matter how hard you try, it is just impossible. perhaps it is the time to give up. or maybe let nature take its own course and you shall not bother a single shit anymore. just some random thoughts again.
my eyes are closing. till then, ciao!
HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!
have a happy and blessed day with your loved ones!
lunch at TCC + kite runner at cineleisure + shopping in town + yujia = a very happy & blessed day!
the muddy mudpie at TCC is really delicious and heavenly. i like the oreo crust that was sprinkled on top. it is crispy and really tasted like oreo to me, unlike those that i have tasted else where, whereby the crust was super soft and had a weird smell. no pictures were taken because the mudpie was simply too tempting and mouth-watering for us to wait for even 5 seconds before devouring it. haha. okay. or maybe i am the one who was too eager.
and jacelyn, if you are reading this, i am telling you i am very in love with the kite runner! =) the movie is nice and quite touching! the friendship between amir and hassan, the twist of the story and the ending and everything else! i really like it. i swear i am going to finish the book as soon as possible.
a day out with yujia with the intial intention of hunting for gifts for our friends and my cousins ended up as a shopping trip. i managed to get hold of a top and bottom and yujia managed to lay her hands on a white top. cheers, yujia!! thanks for the day out! =)
and i've thought of what to get for my cousins already. i shall get it tml after meeting my friend for breakfast. =)
i think this is gonna get real wordy. but heck. this is my blog and i will write what i wanna write. so anyway, during the mrt ride home, yujia and me were talking about our past, as usual. and i realised i have indeed grown alot. my thinking and the way i tend to look at things have changed over the past 2 years. i had taken a small step out of my comfort zone, tried a lot of different things, experienced ups and downs, saw more of the world, learnt how to protect myself and learnt how to take things in my stride.
but i guess that was just a tiny winy mini step out of my comfort zone. the world is so much bigger out there and there's so many more things waiting for me to discover and explore. perhaps i will be hurt and tired and bruised after everything. but, it's the experience that counts. no amount of money can buy you "experience". once you've experienced it, it belongs to you forever. nobody can snatch it away from you. perhaps, that's the reason why i want to try for as many jobs while i still can? i dont want to wait till i am 25 or 30 plus before trying to job-hop. if i did, i would probably be putting my career and my life-savings at risk. haha. okay. just a random thought.
& there he goes, so perfectly.
it is just a matter of perspective.
what seems weird and strange to you
doesnt mean that it is wrong or stupid.
you cant simply judge the matter based wholly on your point of view.
the straits times, some books about sydney and first few chapters of The Kite Runner in one day. i must be really desperate.
anyway, my desire to learn to play mahjong is getting stronger.
even a secondary 3 kid knows how to play it already..
hmmm.
it's time i get my ass moving.
i think i am so used to having a tiring life that since yesterday, for the whole day, i practically did nothing except to lie and watch tv, i cant fall asleep at night. i practically tossed and turned in bed for about 3 hours before finally going off to slumberland.
when i am tired, i complain.
when i am bored, i also complain.
haha. what bullshit.
maybe i will get tired after some ranting.
i shall visit the library later. =)
tmd.
i really hate that fcuking guy.
one day, i swear, if i cant tahan anymore, i will punch him in his face.
cant he just get lost.
&*$@#*!(@#&!(*@#&(*!@#&#@^!!!!!!!!!
CNY has been okay, with all those ferrero rochers and money coming in, and, of course, plus all those gatherings at my granny's house with my relatives.
but i am feeling soooooo bored at home right now.
i have been drama-ing since ten this morning.
and there's nothing much for me to do except to carry on chasing after my dramas.
anyway, i am shortlisted for a temporary job for some exhibition at suntec. :D
finally, i have one holiday job!
haha.
anyway, is there anything wrong with studying in polytechnic?
one of my relatives gave me that rather shocked face when i told him where i am in now.
personally, up till now, i still think polytechnics are better, even though my current grades are like not up to my expectations. hoho.
okay. i shall go bathe already before continuing with Mitch Albom's For One More Day.
and i am really really really really bored....
people are celebrating and welcoming a brand new year ahead.
but somehow, i just cant seem to feel the joy.
some thing is missing.
but the thing is,
i dont know what.
aiyah.
maybe it's my mood swings.
i need to travel!!!
lol.
i need moneyzzxzx.
lots and lots of moneyzxzx.
sometimes i wonder,
how many true friends do we really have.
a peaceful, blessed and happy mouse year ahead to all!!
HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY LEANN!!!hope you enjoy the sakae session as well as
the cake from our beloved two secondary school "friends". =)
we met at 1 at cityhall before heading over to marinasquare for pool.
the session was NOT FUN at all.
all thanks to that freaking nice auntie.
what a spoiler lah.
anyway, it was darn funny to see rachael and elisha play House of the Dead 4!
HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.
i was practically laughing so hard that i had to kneel on the floor.
meijun, leann and tong were laughing away like hell as well.
and even a group of guys were laughing away at the counter too.
so, what did rachael exactly do?!
LOLOLOL.
i shall not reveal the secret, in case she kills me. (:
but i agree, it's the only way to really be engrossed in the game.
sakaed at 3.
we were starving like mad.
i really like their miso soup and salmon and the one which had a combination of avocado and crabmeat. they are really really nice!! (:
we ate around 50 plates in total.
after which, we had the delicious chocolate ice-cream cake from anderson, which was equally nice as well!!
leann and rachael left around 6.
and elisha, tong, meijun and me headed to town for some shopping.
but i bought nothing. haha.
and finally home sweet home at 10.25pm. =)
throughout the day, everywhere we went, we were reminded of our dear disney friends.
when tong added me and meijun in a conversation last night and asked us about today's plans, we went "awwww. weidaaaaaaaaa!" cause normally he will usually the one planning for all the chilling sessions.
when we were playing pool, tong went "awwww. jiarooooooong!" as he thought of the time when he taught her how to play pool.
when tong pointed an LV bag to me, i went "awwww. jessssssssy!" as i thought of the time we spent with jessy while filming the brazil video.
and as we walked past shops that were playing some nice and pop songs, we were reminded of that night and all the jokes would come out again.
our disney friends will not be forgotten. (:
jesssssy!
oh yah. another thing.
damn scary lah. i almost fainted in the mrt.
like what happened to me during secondary 4. lolol.
dont know what's wrong with my body.
was feeling so nauseous and giddy at that point of time.
luckily it got better after i met up with them.
NO. it must get better.
i want to celebrate CHINESE NEW YEAR one leh.
all those sweets and chocolates and reunion dinners.
HAHAHAHA.
anyway,
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!!!
i will be staying at my granny's all the way till the day before cny.
shall upload the photos when i get hold of them.
till then.
=)
the story behind every picture.
dearest meijun!
thanks for all those stupid and silly train rides home. (:
these 7 months, we will make it through with glory okay!
will be looking forward to attending lectures with you again!
or maybe not. cause you are always late. hahaha.
their absence from singapore really goes to show how time has flies.
i must learn to even more cherish all the time i have and my closed and loved ones.
sakae tml! =)
every laughter. every moment.
yooohooo.
i am back from the airport
and i haven been sleeping since yesterday's 10am plus!
oh god. i have super dark rings under my eyes now.
oh wait. i think i cant even see my eyes now. sorry.
yes!
the disney peeps are finally on their way now to florida,
where a magical world awaits them. (:
damn envy. i wanna go too!
but its okay.
7 months later, we will all meet again! (:
i wonder what it would be like if i were the one going instead.
will my mom and dad be crying rivers?
will my sis be celebrating and opening champagne?
will i still be able to laugh and tell them that they will have peace in the house for the next 7 months or so?
hmmmm.
a night at the airport wasnt really boring.
at least there were people to entertain us. hahaha.
thanks jacelyn! LOL. hope you get well soon okay! (:
we reached terminal 1 at around 11.30pm.
did some wandering, walking, exploring, laughing, phototaking before sitting down and watching the time goes by.
and finally, one by one, the disney peeps arrived, with their family members.
presents were presented, photos were taken, hugs were given and last farewells and wishes were said.
and one by one, they slowly went in.
kinda sad though,
to watch them leave.
like what leann said, this time, they are really gone.
it's really farewell, till 7 months later.
we will live on the memories they gave us, which will be kept dearly inside our hearts.
the moment they left, i seriously think that my life has entered into another chapter.
a whole new chapter. the beginning of another adventure.
no more studying.
no more late nights rushing for projects.
no more noisy lectures.
no more drinking.
no more clubbing.
no more poly friends to be by my side and laughing together at some silly stuffs.
no more train rides home with meijun.
no more rachael to bully at for being a slow typist.
no more leann to niao at for earthquakes. (LOL! seriously damn funny lah! trust jessy to leave us the earthquake joke just before checking in. HAHAHAHAHA. LEANN!)
no more weida's drug face to laugh at.
no more hearing of sukie's darn powerful niaoing skills at rachael.
("the dentist should braced up your mouth and teeth together " LOL. CLASSIC.)
no more seeing vanessa running away from the two cheena's clutches.
instead, a whole new working environment awaits me.
some are alone while some lucky ones have one or two of their friends working in the same company with them.
being exposed to a whole new world, you have to start everything from scratch.
building up friendships and relationships with your colleagues.
learning everything that needs to be learn.
learning to accept the new responsibilites that come by.
experiencing a whole new culture.
you are out there on your own.
but thank god.
there are two friends that are with me.
one to ogle at pilots with.
one to laugh AT. HAAHHAAH. (:
will we still be the same after 5 months?
what does the future has for us?
will we be able to cope?
will we be still as close?
i guess only time has the answers to these questions...
yes, i must be strong.
i shall overcome all difficulties and challenges that come.
i will perform my tasks well.
no more hiding and pushing and neglecting.
i will accept all responsibilities that are assigned to me.
i will learn to open up more.
its only 6 - 7 months of internship.
why do i sound like it's like forever?
LOL.
and did i mention supernatural is damn scary?
yes, i am a scardy cat.
but the espisode regarding the bloody mary really got me freaked out lah.
the one that says if you call, nvm.
i dont want to even think about it.
maybe i should switch to grey's anatomy.
but dean is so good-looking!
HAHAHA.
sorry.
plans for one month holiday:
finish supernatural.
finish grey's anatomy.
lots of shopping.
go for a short overseas trip.
pick up any job that comes along.
watch the movies 29 Feb and Jumper.
what a long post.
experiencing mixed emotions now. hahaha.
- coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous; i love this phrase.
darn freaking hilarious.
trust leann to come up with that post.
HAHAHAHAH.
it was disastrous.
and now as we are all sober, when we look back at what happened,
it was super super funny.
i dont think we should drink together anymore.
i wonder what else could have happened.
LOL.
they are leaving in another 18 hours time!
bon voyage, my friends!!
if i dint read meijun's blog, i would totally have forgotten about the pig's trotter joke.
LOLLOOLOLOL.
that was super hilarious lah.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.
some pictures (:
we love black&white.
haha.
and no, we dint arrange to wear this together.
=)
more pics after i get hold of them.
ever heard a frog croak? haha.
that's my voice now.
i am back to being half voiceless. haha.
i shall begin from the day we ended our GBE paper!!
30/1/2008
my final paper + my final day in school all the way till october!!! =))))
chinatown's porridge + a walk at the central, which has rather limited shops + rum&raisin ice-cream by the river + MOS + drinking session = damn funny and nice night.
there were darn lots of jokes lah. hahahaha. like peeing in the toilet without closing the door. lol. my legs and whole body were aching like hell and i had lost half of my voice.
anyway, credits to jessy, meijun and elisha. =)
31/1/08
breakfast at some coffeeshop in tiong bahru. hahahah. sorry. suddenly thought of the tu-tu kuehs. lol. reached home with 75% of my voice gone.
mom dragged me to vivocity and orchard. shivered like mad in the shopping centres and my leg muscles were crying out in pain. crawled home at around 9pm. had a really bad time trying to sleep.
fever + burning throat + 100% voiceless + a super aching body = torturous.
haiz.
anyway, i met my liasion officer after the GBE paper. it seems like jetstar is really a good company. =)
open office concept + 5-day work week + office hour of 8.30am to 5.30pm + jeans-allowed dress code + special privileges = what more can you ask for!
the previous interns were sent to the human resource, accountings and commerical department. and there was even one department whereby one of your job scopes is to help them in selecting cabin crew. hahaha. aussie pilots. LOL.
i wonder where we would be..
and i realised something wonderful!
since school will be starting in october, we had practically about 3 months of holidays after internship!! hahaha. NICE!! i want to travel overseas!!
haha. i think my mom is also partly responsible for the state of my throat. she was having a bad throat and has been voiceless for the past two days. lol. ahhhh. no wonder my home suddenly feels so quiet and peaceful. but she kept coughing into my face during shopping! ^&#$()@#^)@#$
alright. i am going to look for some part-time jobs to work already. i cant possible stay home for the rest of the time till my internship starts right. kailin is hardworking. HAHA. sorry.
byebye!
- blesses&wishes
no. we must be crazy if we drank all.
