The need for resolutions increases as you get older?!

I never had the need to have New Year Resolutions. Or well...I never thought that I had the need. As I got older, I realise that I got to have some kinda resolutions to keep myself in check, or else I feel that I have no objectives in life. Maybe I'll not be able to do some, oh what the heck, at least I try to. I remember this poster on the building of Bukit Timah Plaza where there is this really fat and obese girl on it. She sorta said,"What are you laughing at. At least I got myself started."

Something like that.

So here it is...the list may be edited, but this is what I could think of for now.



Amazingly, I got through another day of work at Maybank Centre. 9am-6pm. An hour of lunch, but thats about the only entertainment I could get. We went to the nearby techpoint for lunch, where quite a few of the stalls were closed.

Can't wait to get back to Maybank Towers to see Siow Yee, Irene & Company. It'll be so fun to spend the last week of internship there. After that it's back to good 'ol boring NUS...I better cherish whatever time I have left there. It's after all, my final semester...

Depressed and Exhilirated in 24 hours!?

Had a really nice Xmas eve company luncheon, where we got to see Siow Yee, Irene and the others from Maybank Towers. Maybank Centre is really a sad place. No windows, so you do not know whether outside is day/night. The air is so bad BECAUSE of the problems of having windows. The place makes your lips chapped and dry, and not to mention your skin. So, maybe the reason why people look older when they start working, is due to the stress and maybe the environment. Maybe MORE so for the people working there. Glad that I am leaving that place in a week. Here are some pictures.

To the slut company: Your pictures have been edited a little. Hehe, so that we all look nice.


It's amazing how time flies. Been working with Maybank for 3 weeks by now. 2 more weeks to go before school term starts. Yeah, FINAL school term. My results were quite alright for me, especially when my studying methods are so unorthodox. I remember maureen asking me,"HUH YOU ARE GOING CLUBBING TONIGHT!?"

The way I found out my results were 4-D-ish too. Was at Mont Blanc getting Ash's present where the visa machine was not functioning. Guess the whole of Singapore was doing some last minute shopping. So I waited for it to work, and when it did, my card was denied. I was BENT on getting that wallet for ash, so I called the bank to ask.

The transaction went through, but no receipt was printed.

Darn, so Mont Blanc was TRYING like 4 more times after that. Sucking my money dry. Fortunately I only had enough for one transaction. So I actually waited at Mont Blanc for almost 2 hours before finally getting my present. Had to call the NUS hotline for my results to be read over the phone like some lottery results. I had planned to go home and have a good rest for the night's Xmas dinner with the folks and Ash. In the end, I managed to get home at 630pm and I had to rush the salad for the dinner.

Yups, my contribution for the night was POTATO SALAD - Mau's recipe. Everybody said it was nice...hehehe. Guess that is what cooks(am I considered one???) would like to have after cooking. Now I vaguely understand.

By now, you would have realised that Ash and I have patched things up. Well, we started talking only on Thursday. Which is by far the longest time that we have not seen/spoken to each other. About 5 days. He apologised and then I relented....it's christmas. Somehow, you'd wanna spend festive seasons with someone special. Shan't go into details on how we patched things up. It's already a long blog as it is....

Ash gave me a $200 voucher from Paragon on Xmas eve. I wasn't shocked by the amount or the place the voucher was from. I was shocked that it was a voucher. Hmm, it's quite weird to give vouchers for Xmas to someone special. It makes it seem...un-prepared. As if he got it last minute. I was quite depressed because my present was quite un-thoughtful. Sobz. If I would put it in biz/econs terms. I would call it an INTANGIBLE gift.

Was a little whiny to Ash...maybe chided him a little for not getting anything nice. Oh wells, have to just accept the little things I have in life. A voucher is still a gift no matter what.

A quiet dinner with steaks, roast chicken, baked potatoes and my SALAD. It was yummy. A pity that I didn't take photos. Ash brought champagne and it was the first time that I had an alcoholic drink with my father. Champers, great food, family, boyfriend and most important of all....Mussel. What more could a girl ask for. Sigh....

Zouk was not as crowded as I expected. Guess it's a little different this year...it was still me and mau and our YEARLY ZOUK TRADITION, but our friends weren't there. Guohui and gang, Eric and gang, etc....guess all have their own programmes. So it was Ash, Mau and me. Hehe, but it was still fun because there were so many people at zouk to look at! *Winks at Mau* (Banana man, and the crazy woman platform)

Woke up today feeling woozy due to the tired night before. Ash said that he'd bring to town to get something I like and daddy's CSI for his xmas pressie. So he was supposed to pick me up at 3pm but he ended up coming over at 430pm. He wanted to quickly drop by town to get the CSI for daddy. Haha, boy was I surprised.

Ash bought daddy a LG dvd player equipped with 5.1 surround sound system. He pitied my dad for watching videos on the laptop and he knows that my dad loves to watch dvds and all. He also pitied mommy for not being able to watch movies together with daddy. Well, I thought he'd get some cheap brand like Akira. They were selling something like that for $187 at 7-11. Should get one of those if you are on a budget.

And I got my CAMERA from ASH(Meant as a surprise)!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!! Yay!!! *Jumps around the room again*
This one.


All of us, excluding my brother, went out for Chicken Rice for dinner. And then headed to Ash's place for Half-Life 2, Counterstrike, Call of Duty and Larry games. It's really cool to play computer games or even surf the net on a huge plasma TV.

So I was depressed and exhilirated within 24 hours. *Jumps around the room again and again*

Really sleepy, didn't know I had so much to write. Argh, will post again about certain things. Too tired and stoned. Merry Christmas!

Mood: Really happy
Music: Mussel's snoring

I'M FINE...REALLY

I thank all the friends who have been supporting me and asking how I am and all....I'm really ok. Don't you know that I am super eve? In short, I am supeve. Haha, thats dumb.

Had a really great time today. Went shopping with liz and bought quite a bit of stuff for myself. Figured that I shouldn't blow all my savings on Ash's present and starve for the next month or so when the situation between him and I are not cleared up yet. Anyway he doesn't deserve any presents. So I was telling Mau, who wanted to get some CD for him, to burn in another track,"You fucker...do not insult people...do not insult my best fren...try insulting yourself."

Some kind of a mantra.

Met mau and candice for sushi tei and later sj with mau for coffee laters. We had a great time laughing and sometimes I feel that I am blessed to know them. Sometimes you don't need so many friends, just one or two good ones are enough to see you through your life.

This is the watch I wanted to get. I would love to have it in black...but I only saw the white one in Orchard.

What pissed me off, was the watch shop opposite SASA at Wisma Atria is selling it for $350. But City Chain is selling the exact piece for $261 and I think there's a discount for that!

I refrained from calling him today, I will do anything to prove that I am right. Well, I am right! But, I accidentally dialled his number just now...but I quickly off-ed it. He called back immediately and I apologised for dialling the wrong number. We never talked...we ended just like that.

He mentioned yesterday that I am a person who wants EVERYONE to adore me and kiss my ass. Who doesn't want people to say nice things about them? So people are lunatics that want to be put down and scolded at ALL THE TIME?

I sincerely believe that when you are in a relationship, you should respect and adore each other. I adore, respect and look up to him....so I do not see why he can't do the same. To make matters worse, say such things about me. This wasn't the first time anyway.

I would sacrifice my relationship with him, just to prove to him that I am right.

Mood: I'm fine, really

WE'RE NOT THAT LOVING AFTER ALL?

Went to Jiezhi's birthday party yesterday and met up with my course mates and some unexpected old friends. When we huddled together for chats, I NICELY invited Ash to join us so that he wouldn't feel out of place. Actually before that I haven't spoke to him at all because he said I was naggy. So I kept quiet...and he kept quiet too.

I didn't want to embarrass him or leave him alone while chatting with my friends so I invited him to come along. I wonder if my friends felt that he was too much...or maybe it was just me.

Quoting him:

  1. When you put your braces will you talk less?
  2. Wah, you are eating another piece of food?
  3. I was pressing on Cheryl's blue black, so he said,"Don't worry, she does that to my nipples..."

And a few others which stemed from these 3. I felt a bit embarrassed...because I sure don't want my friends to hear this kinda things about me. But I laughed along and only brought it up to him in the car. Haven't I given him face?

He proceeded on to say that I wanted to be the center of attention. And boy was I pissed. Doesn't it sound like he wanted to be the center of attention? What the fuck.

I told him to stop the car and I left to head to felix's place to meet my friends, Mau, SJ, Fiona, etc. I couldn't go home cos I was too pissed and I would cry in front of my mother, so I had to go somewhere else. And they were the sweetest friends. I blew my last 20 bucks on cab fare and now I am penniless!

Ash got so pissed when he found out I was there. Seriously, he has become irrational and crazy. I was quite cool, apart from shouting at him in the car. I shouted at him because he really pissed me off and I had no voice! I got too frustrated with how dense he can really be.

So he says that we have broken up. I really don't care any more because seriously, I don't need such an irrational freak. And only if he apologises....I'll then start talking to him. Haha, I can be really stubborn.

This is so going to go to my little black book. Maybe Maureen's last hope of true love....has been dashed.

BUNION BUNION

Friday was a tiring day where I practically walked/stood up the whole day. I had to travel to upper serangoon and the hougang branch to do the work, and the mrt was full of people! And I hardly had the chance to sit down.

Went to Heartland Mall to shop around, further hurting my feet. Had to wait for Ash to finish his work so that he could send me back to Chinatown to get some stuff with Shumin. Hehehe....when I saw her from a distance...I shouted her name. Guess this old man heard it, and he kept repeating her name after that. Freaky.

Had another laser treatment for my upper lip(hair removal) again, and it was really painful. I forgot to put the cream, which was supposed to numb the area so that it would be rather painless. So I teared a bit and Ash and his friend were so tickled. I wasn't supposed to wince or move so they tried to make me laugh while they were doing the treatment. %***&^%....

We proceeded on to the place near Upper Serangoon called GrapeVine. It's a restaurant and bar concept and it was very popular! Ash's fren...happened to be Junita Simon's husband...so we sorta asked him to ask her to come too! Haha, but she didn't wanna. According to her husband, she is really a quiet lady and doesn't like to go out much since she has been travelling around for her modelling. Darn...I had wanted to see her...but I was really in my grossest clothes and the red upper lip(due to the laser) doesn't help to boost any confidence.

So...now I realised that I have sore feet and bunion on the right. Shall wear slippers next week. To bed to bed....

DULL & DUH

Realised that I've become a really dull girl ever since I started working. Received an sms from Maureen.

ATTICA IS COOL. NEXT ZOUK. YOU MUST COME.

Zzzz....haven't had the faintest idea of Attica.

What an early post! I slept like a log, after taking Ash's cough potion. And boy am I ready for work now!

Updated my Livejournal

Click here


I will post there sometimes but this will still be my main blog. So will update you guys if I do post there. And then you can click on the link, if you still wish to read my weird blogs.

If you do click it, I wrote that because I got quite pissed off with Ash just now. He was like,"You should exercise more."

He meant it as >>> You haven't been exercising much due to your work, start doing some exercise. More healthy....

I interpreted it as >>> You are fat.

Yeah, I am very sensitive to this, especially from my boyfriend. So I threw up a big fuss and all, and ignored him. But he somehow coaxed me back to be on talking terms with him. I'm weak. I admit. Lol.

I wrote this blog, so that I will REMEMBER what he told me. And perhaps be more inspired to lose weight.

Maybe I am having PMS.

On a lighter note...I received my DRIVING LICENSE today! They took only a week to process it and have it sent to me. So surreal. I still feel that I am that little girl that follows her driving mommy around. Now I can drive...it's quite a big deal to me.

Shall blow dry my hair...so that tomorrow I won't have a bad hair day.

I LOVE WORKING HERE!

I adore the people I work with! None of them knows that I have a blog, so I am definitely not kissing their asses. I look forward to the TEH-O ping(Tea without milk, with ice), I look forward to laughing my ass off with the people in the department, I look forward to doing nothing much when I get back to the office and I certainly look forward to the food they have for tea breaks.

Halfway through the surveys at the Holland Village branch, I suddenly felt that I missed something. Then I realise that I missed the people at the office. Today we had x'mas log cake, awfully early for that. But we whacked it anyways. Yesterday, the ladies had CHAR KUAY TEOW for tea break...at 430pm. Sinful....

I've had sushi four times the past week. I am crazy about the Sashimi Salad at Paragon now...so I was naturally lured by the evil maureen for dinner last night. After which I crashed her little coffee session with her friend, Candice. Felt weird, because I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. And they were talking about quite serious stuff....but I left soon after. Went to watch National Treasure with Ash...where we almost fell asleep. It wasn't a bad show...it was just too long.

I was out from 10am to 12midnight. When I got home, I was almost dead.

Realised that my blog has become very ME now. It's too self centred. Guess I must reflect on myself and churn out some weird and funny blogs next time.

You will have 0 inspiration when you start working full time. You are just too zapped out.

INSPIRATIONAL

Just watched the final episode of America's next top model, cycle 2. Well, from the first episode, I already knew who was going to win...Singapore is SO slow in getting that show to air. Anyways, Yoanna was an inspiration.



From fat to fab. Doesn't she look amazing now? She lost 60 pounds over a span of 2.5 years, God knows what she has done. Bulimia, Anorexia, diet pills, exercise? Whatever it was, it was inspirational. Losing weight needs lotsa patience and strong will-power.

I can never go past the first week. Haha.

Work started to be a little more tiring today. We had to go two branches and we apparantly chose the wrong pair. They were quite far from each other and we wasted alot of time travelling. We could have used the time for shopping if we chose the right branches. Argh. Later met Ash for Sakae Sushi. It was horrible...I'd gladly settle for Sushi Tei at Paragon.

Ash drove us back to office where we had lotsa laughters with the ladies there. One of them offered to give us some real work...some program testing thingy. It's better than nothing at all...

Mussel is WHINING. Better get back to bed. ZZZ...

Decided to pop down to amore for some pilates and gym this afternoon since I have been constantly complaining about how horrible I look in clothes and everything. It doesn't help where most of my friends are small. Maureen's small....Shijie's small...Cheryl's small....argh.

It's been almost a month since I last went to gym...I stopped due to exams and I haven't been able to get back on track for yonks. It's bad when you start working because you have ACCESS to food courts, fast foods, and many other yummy things.

Got myself a pretty WHITE shoe today. Maureen must be screaming....cos I finally get some thing in a colour OTHER than black.

Better go catch some sleep....I have lotsa work tomorrow. Gotta run two branches and the travelling is going to kill me.

Saturday Nite...Lazy

It would be hard to find me at home on a saturday night...usually by now, I'd be finishing up my make-up and getting ready to hop on a cab and go clubbing. But, I WANNA stay home tonight. That's really rare. I'm rather zonked out from the week so far.

Work was quite alright this week, we don't do much but we have loads of fun when we get back to office. The ladies in the department(there are a few men, but its more women dominated) are really a fun bunch so no complains working there yet.

I met mau today in the RAIN. I went to save her with my umbrella....and she had better thank me or she'd be stuck at Somerset MRT for an hour or so. She tried on this pair of jeans at KAI @ Heeren and it was so gorgeous on her! It's been a LONG time since I looked nice in anything. Now that's depressing for a bimbo-wannabe...

Ash got this for me just now...

And I love it! Guess now I'm getting more interested in photography...well, more of the EDITING side. This will accompany me on a lonely and cold saturday night....

Whoopee! I PASSED MY DRIVING!

Maybe Shijie was right...when you are going for your driving test...DO NOT tell anyone about it. Well, I took the notice off my blog, kept mum about my driving test....except for my family. No choice, they are sending me there by car. I can't tell them that I have a secret rendevouz with a man from the driving centre....hehehe.

Anyways feel really high right now. Cos I finally passed! When I came back from driving and into the room, the tester started scolding me. My gear waswrong when I went up the slope, I signaled late...etc etc. And then he just scribbled around and I have no idea what he was rambling about.

After he scolded me, he didn't tell me if I passed or failed. He just scribbled and then left the table with this.


It may be obvious to you now...cos you guys know I passed. But for a moment, I didn't know what to do. I wasn't sure if I passed or failed even. Cos he didn't say anything...I walked to the counter and showed her. Then the lady told me I passed. (-_-")

Anyways, I do not have to drive at the stupid driving centre ANYMORE! Yippee!

Shall go bathe and then watch Blade Trinity tonight!

ATARAX, NOT ANTHRAX

Had a really bad case of itch yesterday, it got worse last night....so I popped Atarax down. I totally forgot about the side effects of the medicine....this morning I overslept. I was thinking to myself, "Why am I so tired!?" Then I recalled that I had Atarax. A pill that makes you sleep....and be really really blur the next day.

So I was really tired the whole day and went for some foot reflexology in the afternoon. Yeah, finished my work and had some free time so I went to do some nice massage before heading back to office.

Heee....heading back to office. Sounds nice(for now).

Yups, think I'm going have some me time again tonight. Ash is not coming cos he's tired too...I think it's the weather too. Wet and cold.

- NOT USED TO WORKING -

Woke up at 7am today so that I could coincide with my brother's timing for work. It's too early for me! I wonder what I have gotten myself into. I have calculated...I work for about 2 bucks plus an hour.

Well, my day was quite fun in a way. Got to know a few other school mates who have gotten themselves in this shit. I guess what we want in the end is to get a nice reference letter from the bank. Experience? Eh...this job doesn't really offer much to us. We do crappy stuff.

This was taken from the 10th floor. We were really free today.

Yeah their window sill had some plants...so took that too.

We were so free that we had lunch from 1130am to 2pm. We were walking around aimlessly at Raffles Place. We sat around in the office till 6 then we left for home. The department's people are nice and funny. So guess everything went on fine today. Although I really regret BUYING too many long sleeved shirts. Guess I'll have to wear them to sleep at night...

Ash called me quite a few times today. Haha, he usually doesn't call so often(cos he knows that I am home). Today he seemed like some mother duck...fussing about her little ducklings. He asked if my job was tough, how was everything, did I have lunch, where to have lunch...etc etc. Thought he was REALLY sweet.

He did warn me about the cheeky corporate fellows at Raffles. I was like...,"HUH!" Hmmm, cheeky or not, I don't know them and don't think they wish to know me either!

He's just a bit protective over me now that I'm out there working. That's nice.

Really tired...my gosh...it's nine now!? Better go bathe....seems like you have NO time when you work.

A Separate Posting

Had to have a different posting from the lurker one because it's weird to link both together. Anyways I went shopping for a little while at West Mall today and got another skirt and a blouse. I think I have TOO many long sleeved shirts now. Shit, my job requires me to go about...I'd be dying from the heat!

OOPS.

Went to Ash's house to watch some dvd and hang out. This would be the second time I'm there, and his family warmed up to me a little more. They are quite nice...that's a good sign. I was really afraid that they'd hate me or something.

Ash was complaining about the stupid waiter last night. Cos Mau wanted to have e33 or strong bow...cider kinda stuff. So Ash asked the waiter for those. The waiter said that they didn't have so Ash asked if they have any kind of Cider. Then the waiter nodded and brought back a tiger beer.

So...CIDER = TIGER. Take note of that when you go to Balaclava.

The waiter apologised and explained to Ash. So another waiter came by to ask what Ash wanted. So...Ash said that he wanted Apple Cider...any kind. Then the waiter said AGAIN that they didn't have e33 and the likes. And then the waiter suddenly turned back and gave us 2 ASAHI beer.

So now...A CIDER = ASAHI. Take note of that too when you go to Balaclava.

Finally going to have some ME-TIME tonight. Going to charge my hp, pda and mp3player. Pack some stuff, watch some dvds and get ready for my FIRST day of work tomorrow!

Update:

- Idiotic Lurker -

Hmm, this zaq posted again but I deleted his post. He said something about me being an ah lian still and big nose. Wells, he OBVIOUSLY hasn't seen me lately...please I'd never look like an ah lian, especially now. Maybe he/she looks like fuck, so he/she is just trying to make himself feel better. Zaq, it doesn't work this way. Yeah and I proudly admit I've got a sizeable nose. Oh wells, but I still look ok as a whole.

If Zaq is a girl, I'd believe that she is abso-fucking-lutely jealous of me. Well, to think of it, I am quite lucky to date. I have a great boyfriend, great friends, great school, great quite a lot of stuff. Hmm I should count my blessings. Anyways, she must be some girl who is a loner, retarded or is just trying to gain attention. Well, my girl, I feel so sorry for you that no one gives you any attention. I wouldn't too.

If Zaq is a guy, maybe he's just behaving this way cos I might have rejected him before? Well, it must be because you are some damned loser that no girls give attention to. Perhaps you are just plain weird. Anyways, guys behave like shit when they know they can't get you or especially they are rejected by you.

Well, whoever you are, it's fine you read my blog. My blog is for all to read since its on the world wide web. But please do not embarrass yourself by posting such stupid comments and expecting people to give you attention or whatsoever.

You are just a sad and retarded clown trying to entertain but failed at doing so.

- Of shopping and cheese -

My saturday started out really fine, Ash brought me to town for some shopping. He got me some blouses and pants for my work starting tomorrow. Quite happy, because I've always wanted to get these kinda clothes. And I behave as if I'll be working for half a year...because I saw so many clothes that are very nice! Haha, but I settled for 4 blouses and a pants from Zara and G2000.

At night, met up with the girls at Raffles City area for some dinner. We walked and walked and in the end we went to Spizza at Club St for dinner. I had Lasagna and the girls had pizza. The place was nice, the food was quite nice too, but the best was the three of us. We were clad in beautiful dresses and nice shoes and all....because we wanted to photo-whore. Anyways, the pictures would be up as soon as I get the pics from Mau.

We went to Balaclava after that, and I realise why the guy living in my neighbourhood can drive such nice BMWs(he has two) and he looks really young. His pub is doing so well! Not to mention his day career...some exporting thingy is doing well too(from Ash's sources). So anyway, the live music started off irritating cos of the volume, but after awhile, we truly enjoyed it. Ash ordered a platter of cheese and chicken liver. So we had quite alot of cheese yesterday. I am really gaining weight and looking flabby. All the photos in Mau's camera made me look fat! Argh!

I was quite irritated with Ash later cos he had too much to drink that he had to leave his car at the carpark and take a cab home. I'm just pissed off that he drank too much. SJ was quite pissed with some stuff too, and she got irritated with Mau. Hmm I am quite confused with the whole picture too.

So...shall go to West Mall to do some more shopping of my own. I'll go to Ash's place for dvd watching and dinner with his family. Hmmm..quite scary.

Trying to escape dinner....

BUSIER THAN EXAM PERIOD

Been really busy after the exams...no time to blog!

I guess I have to have subheadings to be more organised, cos I have got lots to write about!

- The rare guests at Zouk -

I never go to Mambo nights on wednesdays, because I can't take retro. Especially when they played the GHOSTBUSTERS song that night. Left zouk immediately...even Ash(the retro man) was shocked to hear the song. Ugh, so I never did like mambo nights.

I went cos I had to get my complimentary card replaced and CHERYL, WANLIN and JIAHUI were there! It was a RARE sight. That's because they don't usually club. Haha, seriously don't know what came over them that night. So even if I was dying, I had to see it for myself. Couldn't believe my eyes!

So it was really cute to see them that night. Had to stay and drink with them for a little while, and soon they left to dance without me(sobz sobz).

- Rusty as a nail undergoing oxidation -

I had my first lesson in 3 months on thursday. It was TERRIBLE. I took the 6pm-740pm slot, so I had the half day half night session. It was my first time driving at night, and in the rain! I got confused with the headlight switch and the wiper switch. It was really different when you drive at night. In the day you see cars, at night you see headlights only.

So I kept hitting the kerbs, and I got too freaked out when there were so many cars on the roads. The instructor had to steer for me.

I had another lesson today and it was BETTER. More confident on the roads and the handling of the car. Was still scared of the cars on the roads, especially changing lanes and all...but overall it was not so bad.

- Busy days -

Finally got an internship opportunity with a bank. Although it is quite a crappy job where I move around alot, I am still quite happy cos I have some kinda "internship". Cheryl says that it would look "nicer" on the resume. Hehehe, so I have something to write on my resume next time!

I seriously applied to many places before I landed myself this job. HP, Citigroup, and others. No reply from some, and even if I had an interview, I screwed it.

Things you should never do during an interview

  1. Interrupt the interviewer
  2. Act like a bimbo
  3. Change the questions asked from the interviewer

Yeah, I did all of them. It was funny as I think back, but I am glad I didn't get that job either. I didn't even know what I was going for! The woman asked me,"What are you here for?"

Me,"Interview to be an intern here..."

She,"What job exactly?"

Me,"Er..intern..."

I have submitted too many applications till I forget what I was applying for. Hmmm...ain't I a bimbo. Furthermore, I changed the questions for the interviewer. I was a GONER.

- Back to the topic -

So for the past few days, I have been running around for interviews, driving, shopping and stuff like that.

This job I got was quite alright...at least I know what I was doing. And the interview went well, she liked the fact that I did sales before so I wasn't afraid of meeting people. And this job requires me to meet people and talk to them. So I guess I was lucky! But I have to work from 845am to 615pm. People nowadays work their asses off for pittance! I am paid PITTANCE!

So, I had to go down to Ang Mo Kio headquarters today to get some forms signed. I took the wrong bus and all, so I could have been there half an hour earlier. After that, Ash picked me and my mom(she followed me) back to the coffee shop near my place to have some nice Mee Rebus.

Mommy's treat - She was grateful to Ash for saving her finger(Read the previous blogs)

Then I had to rush back home and get changed and grab my clothes because I had to have my driving lesson at 6pm! That's not the end! After lesson, I took a cab all the way to Shenton way for my final dancing lesson!

I am so beat!

Had some PRAWNS after class and now my lips are a little swollen and my legs are itchy. Took some anti-histamine from Ash but it doesn't seem to work.

- Why I am happy after all these... -

Well, I finally got something that I've always wanted, which is to be attached to some bank at RAFFLES PLACE! Haha, I am weird. Cos I always wanted to wear those worky clothes and carry those bags and shoes! Haha, these ALL MEANS I have a WHOLE NEW REASON to go shopping!

Mood: Tired and wacky
