dunno wad to say. No amt of dots or sighs will express how SIAN I AM!

just when I thought I was so lucky to get a job in a HR dept. so enthusiastic abt learning everything and stuff. tried to learn when I was taught stuffs. did my best at wad I was told to do, even if it was outside my job scope. Aye, I was supposed to be an admin assistant, tt's wad I was to do. I did not ask to be landed in a company to do HR cum receptionist cum secretarial jobs leh. And they were the one who said I can go back during my term time to learn more on the job.

my manager just told me she thinks I'm not experienced enuff for the job... she had underestimated the job scope and realised she nd someone who have experience in HR.

I dunno how my colleague thinks though... its so inconvenient to talk when the manager can pop up any moment since our work area is open. And anyway... my colleague can say anything she wants since I'm leaving hor? And its so qiao that today she just confessed to me she don't like our manager a lot actually cos a lot of times she just fly into one of her infamous tempers unreasonably and scolded her without regarding her pride.

Well... just enjoy the next few days I have b4 sch starts lo...

my phone had this recurring hanging prob so much that I felt compelled to go have service it today. Cos my warranty's ending on 31st July. hehe. So last min... Or shld I say wad good timing... Nah, actually the prob surfaced quite some time ago, then for a while it seemed ok. Now its back - worse than ever. Talk abt the calm b4 a storm...

The bad news is I cant collect it today and I don't have a spare phone. So I'll be phoneless till tml aft I collect it from work. Let's see if I can survive this long w/o a phone ya? They say people today are too dependent on technological gadgets. I wonder how true is that for me... Though I think I might like being 'uncontactable' for a period. hehe =P

Anyway, later will be starting my 2nd job. As a caller to update some alumni details I think. Easy money, wahahaha. $9/hr in sch. But this is only for a mth, as I have said b4... Wonder how it goes... Shall update tonight! (Or maybe tml... =P )

went to this prata shop in thomson with eugene... hmm. the cheese prata was quite unlike the one we had in SA! I think its cos they scrimped on e cheese la. Cos in sch they only sell like $1.20 and the cheese so little sia. But the one there is quite reasonable, $1.50 and the cheese tastes so nice with the prata! Though a pity is I am still having some aches from having adjusted my braces on thurs. So i had some difficulty chewing the crispy prata properly. Need to eat damn slowly with careful, precise bites so i don't bite till my whole jaw feel like it can drop... And sad... no curry for me... (well, unless I can bear to part with $101.90 when my braces kena stained la. puis)

then went to AMK Hub. I nv went at nite b4... I didn't noe there can be so many pp there! The carpark was overcrowded... We had to go all e way to e rooftop will we can get a spot, and it was only when one car was leaving then we got it. Even the rooftop was full sia! mainly just go there walk walk, but I was also looking out for G2000 cos I heard from minshan there's a big sale there and I think its a gd chance to get a jacket there!

ya lo, so much reductions, and I will ultimately need one for presentations etc. So might as well... Was trying to decide between 2 jackets... One black and one dark grey. Of cos black one is more easy to match but the grey one is more fitting leh. So yup... got a dark grey one. Anyone wanna get a jacket go G2000 quick b4 the sizes run out ya?

Went back to SAJC after work. Rush, rush, rush! Had to wait for a manager to get a list of the names of confirmed interview candidates from me. And it was so nearing 530pm - my knock off time - and he was 'very far away' (so he says, in the plant somewhere I guess) so I was a bit kan chiong sia. haha, lucky I managed to leave in time so i don't miss the bus. Surprisingly I was early, haha.

Anyway, the play was avg lo, some of the actors can't be really heard. Over the music or over the murmuring... What makes the evening great was seeing old friends and catching up with them. Haha, kelvin nv failed to remind me how long he had known eugene(since kindergarten) and how close their block is that eug can peer into his room if he wants.

My table is so messy I cant really stand it, now maybe I can diregard it. But when sch starts and I nd more space on my table for work... I might have problem liao. Cos I didn't used to have make up and contact lens stuff on my table. Can u imagine the clutter on my table now... Gee... must do sth eh?

boss in Shanghai.

manager on MC.

colleague on 1/2 day leave.

I am alone in the office.
Yep! OMG. I am alone in the MD office, I hope the rest of today wont have much visitors or calls to give me surprises. Alrdy the courier man is late, I was supposed to wait for him to deliver an impt doc then go to e pantry for lunch. Apparently he is very late, I was too hungry. Ran up to e pantry to warm up my lunch n quickly ran down.

Cos there's a lot of confidential docs here, and my colleague left her com on for me as I still do nt have access to certain systems n she nd my help to do data entry. If I'm away for too long it'll lock itself. And of course, I don't have the password to unlock it! It'll be a tad too troublesome. she gotta reveal her password!

So now, got a list of things to do. Arrange for interviews, courier this, email that. blah, blah. Just hope no trouble ya... Then i can knock off on time n go meet the CS peeps for our annual production. Havent seen them for quite some time!

been busy cos of wk, so seldom come online. Just came home, had dinner and watched tv. Or just read my emails, and weekend has been so fun!

Woo... Sunday was a sinful day with lots of good food. Haha. Went back to Yacht Club for brunch with Eugene. Its been a long time since we were there - sort of had our 1st date there when we weren't tog yet. And this e first time we went back after we're tog. Hmm... Too bad I cant have the laksa or anything spicy there, cos it looks good! Had fish & chips which were quite nice, big portion.

Then met Pong & Ler for a drink while we wait for the rest to arrive at Vivo. Wa... White Dog Cafe got a great view of the sea! And the drinks are not bad... U guys shld try the floats, Volcano!

Dinner at Bosses/ Hei She Hui was even better. Thks to Ler for introducing us the restaurant. Now got a better alternative to Crystal Jade, dont have to go there just cos of craving for xiao long bao liao... nice decor and the toilet's like those mirror maze in carnival. haha, full length mirrors for the doors and everything. And the tea... haven done sth so civilised in so long liao... haha. Tea appreciation... no la, we ordered chinese tea to go with the food. hehe.

And of cos, not to mention the short island get-away at Sentosa aft dinner. Too bad ah pa cant join us... Anyway, Thong Ler... hope u enjoyed the simple night. Though not as happening as it might have been if it was a day at Sentosa (shucks... stupid weather...), hope u enjoyed it!

The great weekend makes me so reluctant to go back to wk today... Talk abt Monday blues... haish. lucky thing was today damn slack in e office... wahaha. Had this walk-in candidate for an interview this afternn n Grace asked me to go sit in with her so I can learn. I must say I'm quite thkful she has been so willing to teach me everything. Although I was supposed to be there to help ease her load, she nv fails to rem I was to do a HRC course and will often show n teach me stuff tt I'll be doing in e HR line in future.

So yep... I'm learning on e job... Must really thk my lucky stars got such a nice colleague n employer...

Shuyi: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! hope you like the watch! <3 heh, we'll have ur 'dinner' the next time round ya...

The Last (Spoilers ahead for Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows)

Finished up the book last night... Was slowed down here n there cos there were quite a few interruptions in the afternoon. haha. Very anxious to finish it, so I had skimmed thru some parts, hehe. I'm glad Potter didn't die, same goes for Hermione and Ron and the other members of the DA. But Fred had to die and George lost a ear. I think if there was another book, the grief that George & the Weasleys suffered would be portrayed inside ba. Can imagine how difficult it is... for ur own twin to die, and moreover Mrs Weasley has always been protective of her kids. I was so afraid she would also die when she dueled Bellatrix la! Lucky thing was she managed to kill her... I guess when provoked... a mother will be pushed to the limits to do sth for her child ba...

Becos I thru the book, too eager to find out the ending... there are few bits n pieces which I'll have to piece tog upon my 2nd reading... Which I think will have to wait a while. With work coming the next few wks, shld be rather difficult for me to pick it up again.

Well... supposed to meet Eugene for brunch b4 meeting you guys for Thong Ler's bday dinner... he hasn't wake up yet. haha... Shall go give him a morning call liao. Ta-ta guys...

our 3rd

Eugene just smsed me to call him and I did. He had to down beer cos of 'superior pressure'. haha, was feeling seh alrdy and can sense it in the phone. He's talking a bit slower and slurring his speech... Lucky thing is its in his own camp and he doesn't have to drive...

This week's a busy one for him and so happens today is our 3rd month together. Well, if u wanna be more exact 2 mths cos for 1 mth I was away in France. hehe. Managed to squeeze some time out last nite so we can meet b4 the weekend. He might be activated so he dont want to take chances. Well, both of us are not those who are very particular about dates and anniversaries. Its just sth that mark when the journey started for us. Not a MUST-celebrate thingy.

We talked abt this topic b4 - sometimes its tiresome to celebrate every 'significant' date in the relationship. 99 days, 999 days etc etc. Some girls like to fuss over their bf celebrating this day and that day and throw tantrums when their bf forgot... Eug told me his army frens sometimes scared their gf asking them do you rem what day is XXX? haha, cos the wrong ans and THAT'S IT!

Isn't it more meaningful to treasure what you have with each other now and look fwd to what you have in the future... Rather than being angry with your bf abt some date.

So... 3 mths down the road. I can only say... I'm glad (: Glad that after one soured relationship and juggling a year in the university... I've learnt to manage my time better. manage my feelings better. There are times where emotions can overwhelm you and make you do or say things that you can never retract. I know now, with the experience gathered, I can be more matured this time. But, I still let myself 'go wrong' once... hee dear, sorry about that... gave u a scare le.

And I'm also glad... that Eugene is so understanding and matured. I must say, for someone in a 1st relationship, he is doing it very well. So dear, thks for everything so far... (: muacks. love you.

First day at work

Today went on quite smoothly (: for the morning did the usual sorting and filing of some documents. Then afternoon Grace showed me more things that I might be doing for the coming 2 wks and e rest of my time there. When sch starts I'll be going back there on my off day in sch to help them with some of the work. Cos although the co. is quite big, the HR dept only has 2 pp - the manager and an executive (Grace). And Grace also has to support the MD (Managing Director) with secretarial roles. Which explains why she's so busy.

Anyway, the people there are real friendly and doesn't seem to draw that much boundaries between the 'employees' and 'managers'. Grace had introduced me to almost all the employees working indoors (nt in the plant) from the normal perm. staff to the big shot directors. Haha. Even the MD! wa... but i like the culture there. There's a very gd mix of people from Germany, Japan, China, India, New Zealand and of cos S'pore.

So I have to do normal admin duties plus sometimes act as a secretary if Grace is not around. This is the part I gotta get adjusted to cos I've nv been a secretary b4 and I might even have to face big shots from the head office cos I'm working in the MD office. Its ok, means more challenges and I get to learn more things. Plus, in time to come it'll be useful cos I'll be learning HR stuff too anyway!

But... they're real flexible abt my wking hrs. Just now Grace asked me what time would I like to start and end work, which give me quite a shock. haha, she says she's fine abt me arriving at a time I'm comfortable with. I hope not much big shots coming for the next 2 wks! :P

Just when I thought I was destined to be slacking the rest of my hols at home, I got a positive reply from 2 job offers. And one of them was quite surprising becos if I were to be accepted, they shld have called like last wk?

Yep, I'll be wking for the rest of my hols in a HR dept somewhere in the Jurong Industrial area. The manager seems to be quite nice, she said if I wanted to learn more she might even be able to arrange for me to sit in their interview sessions so i can get to learn more HR stuff. And... I'm paid $8/hr. woo!

the 2nd job is only for a mth, and only a few days of the week. Mon-Thurs and Sun. starts like 7pm in the evening till 10pm. I have to call up some alumni members to update some stuff. Basically its just calling people and I get pais $9/hr. Yeah, I accepted it though its like 3 hrs a day cos its in sch. which is pretty damn near. so i dont mind like popping over after dinner since its so close. Or I can stay back n do some work in sch then wait for it to start. Either way... its some easy money. yep... gotta work hard if i wanna travel I guess.

Office wk starts tml... so i have like more than 2 wks there? :P

I AM DAMN BORED!

Hai. I am waiting got the DivX player to be downloaded so i can watch my series of Heroes I got from Wanting today. I'm getting bored to death at home. Tonight of all nights feel so restless... Took a 2 hr nap just now, cant slp early... Man, I hope I can quicklystart watching!

A number of things to keep myself occupied:

1. Read Half-blood Prince since Deathly Hallows is coming

2. Make sth for Eugene? This Thurs happens to be our 3rd mth tog. Gee... time flies. Making sth for him will sure kill a lot of time n might be a nice surprise.

3. Bake brownies? Nah, I cant eat much brownies now...

As you can see... this is a much crappy entry. I'm getting bored to tears...

Since my laptop is one fo the 'headquarters' for the pics we taken during GSS... Here goes, more memories of the trip...

The fantastic dinner of crepes and sorbet in Troyes: I think this was where we started bonding together...

Unlucky day in Versailles: raining and no shelter to eat lunch. 4 to a brolly



After walking miles we were finally at Chinatown! Loads of pp talking in Canto there.

This was in London, I forgot what's the name of this place... heh heh. So sorry, we were on our way to Chinatown!


At the rose gardens beside the Chateau in Compeigne with Adeline: we couldn't find the roses, wonder why?

met the GSS peeps last nite for Seoul Garden at Marina Square. Finally, after many 'detours' we finally could meet. It was nearly cancelled... lucky we could still meet as planned. haha, was fun of cos... eating and chatting tog. A bit like the GSS days? just that now we're back in familiar grounds, and some of us have grown to become very good friends. We also got some stuff in e queue coming up... Sentosa next week! Really hope can wk out, if not when sch starts, everyone will be busy. North-spiners and South-spiners may not even cross each other's path in sch. So sad...

Anyway, we tried to exchange some photos using my laptop n vincent's. So now my com is full of almost everyone's pics and gotta pass it to e rest. You cant imagine how many GB we all got. haha... I think I shld be developing total of 200-250 photos... and is mostly 'faces' not 'scenery'... haha. If I could I would develop more le... but $$$ constraint! :P

We were quite enthu last nite, the photo-sharing after dinner lasted till like 11. We were playing Murderer at the Roof Terrace in Esplanade while waiting for e photos. haha... another memory from the GSS France days. Nights, rather... Nights of card games, chatting sessions and murderer after dinner... How slack!!! then even when we went back, we still log on till like early morning. I was among the last to leave... at 4am. Can imagine how shag i am, woke up at 8++ to meet Eugene for breakfast. He had this sudden craving for the yuan yang at the Wan Zai HK Restaurant...

He dont have any more duty for the rest of this month... Shld be more free ba? (:

A lot of coincidences lately... Saw two ex-colleagues from SH on Fri & ytd. Dear Sarinah's now wking in Sentosa! So fun... as island supervisor. She seems to be happier... new haircut. haha... so cute. hope she and her abang doing well tog... haha. both of them cant recognise me. Stared at me for a few seconds until I say my name out then they noticed the changes... My contacts, my braces... hahaha. So cute to see their stunned expressions. LOL...

I guess I shld be expecting more of this when sch reopens... shall be interesting to see the reactions... haha!

woke up this morning to have my plans ruined 1st thing in e morning. When I've finally got the time to go swim, it had to rain! GRRRR..! so yeah... idled around as usual. reading this book now - Undomestic Goddess. Having flipped thru the first few pages... found that its quite nice, another light read. About this lawyer who's had all her time devoted to her job. NO LIFE! and how she flopped cos of a major mistake and found her way ard in her life.

Previously read The Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl... another light read but, I dont like it that much. Too much stuff abt sex and call girls i thought, most imptly... I dont like the ending. Its so abrupt. I didn't even know it ended! until I turn the page over and found it surprisingly empty... then did i realised it ENDED. talk abt cliffhanger... I literally jumped over the cliff.

Got this job offer abt a receptionist cum admin assistant. All the while last wk I've been trying to get work, and now that I got this call with a gd pay and location... I'm hoping I wont get it. Aiya, what exactly do i want? haha... I'm so conflicting myself. I guess I just wanna 'nua' at home.

Going to watch Harry Potter with Eugene tml! yipee! Eug surprised me though, he had told me gotta wait till the wkends cos there's a last min insurance talk that he gotta stay back for. Now he had just called and said he applied for leave liao. haha... and he's booking the tics online, so its tml! Anyway... Sorry abt this, NH crowd: I know we sort of have a unwritten pact to watch HP every yr de. But lately the movies either I dont like or he watched, and I promised him I'll watch a movie w him when I come back... Sorry to bang seh u all!

I came online wanting to blog about alot of things but I'm not like having writers' block... GRR! Anyway... These few days I've been brushing my teeth more than ever. Trying to avoid food that will colour my teeth. As best as I could. haha... cos of my ceramic braces ma, cant afford to have it stained. so after a meal at home usually I'll just go brush my teeth. And i think my record was on Sunday, I stayed home whole day and I counted how many times I brushed - 7!!!

I saw Joyce's blog about their 2 wks in various parts of Europe. WA... super gian to go back. And have this streak of regret abt not extending with them... it seems really fun... Although it was a bit hurried... Hai. Nvm... all the more I want to go back next time... haha. A good reason to I guess... I wonder if we go on Free & Easy tours would we get the same experience as they do. Or rather, will SG's tour grps go to e same destinations like London's...

Anyway, mum's been wking at JP at one of those blue pushcarts selling costume jewellery. She was telling me how she managed to stop some sch girls from stealing some rings when she was wking... And I do not realise how brazen these teenagers can be until I hear for myself. Apparently when their attempt to slip away some trinkets was foiled, they decided to come back again. This time on another shift... so my mum doesn't recognise her and her colleague dunno abt it. But this time they weren't lucky enough. The neighbouring stall's uncle who were selling watches saw them behave suspiciously so he kept a watch on them.

At busy periods it was simply to busy at e pushcarts so its quite kind of the uncle to help them out, he caught them while they were walking away, red-handed - one had 5 rings that cost $5 each in her hands lo... Can u imagine how daring they are? And seeing how determined they were to steal sth, coming back the 2nd time like that, it simply shows that its not a mere impulsive act. Neither is it a childish dare from classmates. Ridiculous... they were lucky lo, the uncle didn't turn them in to e police or the mgmt cos he said its not his stuff it seems not right to interfere but he gave them a stern warning...

Have you all ever wondered why we always bear to spend more on presents for other people than ourselves sometimes? Like we wouldn't mind buying this expensive wallet or shirt for our friends or bf/gf but when we think of buying it for ourselves... we cant bear to part with the money? haha. Well, if you're those that's opposite of this then ok lo... Skip this paragraph ba =P

Anyway... I met Veron, Guo Min and Candy to shop in town. OK, once again I was reminded of the fact that I didn't buy presents for Guo Min and she bought for me. Honestly... I really did consider buying. But in France there wasn't much I could get, and London was too expensive. So I only bought for my NH friends... and it didn't cost a lot... Besides, at that point of time I was more worried after my post-trip expenses... My contact lenses, my camera... things that nd $$$ that gotta be fixed. I didn't expect the camera to work itself out. And my lens... thk god, can make only one side... if not I gotta spend like ove a hundred bucks. So yeah, can understand my plight ba?

Finally bought a tube for this long top I bought at Mango sale... then I dunno why got this urge to buy sth for Eugene... add sth to his wardrobe. Not that its not working well... haha. We were at Pull & Bear trying to find sth suitable for him... Polo tee? T-shirt? Finally settled on sth which actually caught the girls' attention first. The light blue tee with some prints and these words: Yacht Club... I absolutely had no reason not to buy it... Nice colour, sth he'll wear, new arrival... and Yacht Club was actually where we went to for our 1st date, b4 we started anyway... so yeah... bought it...

Also looking for shoes... and bag. Nearly bought a brown tote though, I tot the price is rather reasonable aft e sale and the design's not bad. But Guo Min said her fren is selling sth similar and at a lower price... Hmm... why not? Just take a look no harm anyway... =P

you have no idea how sian it can be... or maybe you can. You're one of those like me... slacking my time away. and ENJOYING it... wahaha. watching tv, idling online, reading my books borrowed from Ash-jie... and later I'll be shopping with Veron. woo!

honestly, the search for temp jobs is like harvesting no fruits. its all too far... how come i kp getting the oil industries jobs? There's this job that gotta bring me to some ISLAND and its not Jurong Island some more. I gotta go Harbourfront and take ferry there... My god, is it some coincidence or what... anyway, rejected it... not worth the travelling time.

last nite was very busy in MSN... bt I'm glad for all e catching up. Esp with the GSS pp, now that we're all back from Europe, can chat and slack tog etc. haha... there was this big grp convo and we were chatting away like we used to in France... sadly, I think when sch starts, the novelty of this shld die away ba. Some is bound to drift apart... Like wenhui, I'm surprised how short her memory span is... when she is such an intelligent gal. Maybe her memory saved for more 'impt' stuff. haha...

You know, I'm so bored that I volunteered to help my MJ kaki do his project... Mkting project. but its quite vague. just to mkt any product. And no limits to the market even. Like just to cars or laptops etc. ANYTHING. 5000 report. I still haven got the question yet. But i think its going to make me occupied, so be it! Haha... see la, how bored I am...

just woke up and now's eating my breakfast... Wa. I was amazed that I actually dreamt I was back in France. With Adeline! haha! I thought I had adjusted back... I guess going to fetch the rest back from the airport on Fri triggered memories of the trip? Its so funny... I rem me n Adeline were also deciding which flavour of sorbet to get in the Piccard frozen food supermkt. And its the same thing in my dream except the supermkt's much larger... =P

Well, kind of adjusting to my braces le. Now I can bite more properly than past few days. Cos it had been hard to chew on the more solid food with the back teeth hurting. Now its not so much of the back teeth giving me probs, but my canine teeth... cos its bracket is pushing against my lip... Argh. Cut it terribly... Cant open my mouth too wide in case I aggravate it again. haha... Wa... Wonder when will that lip heal...

hmm... I'm glad I went to wk for the 3 days... at least it gave me a bit more financial stability. Cos these few days I've been spending quite a lot I realised... Luckily I didn't spend that much in Europe, so I don't have that much qualms abt spending here. Although of course, there is this tendency to convert everything to Euros and you tell yourself "hey, this is cheap!"

Apparently its only something to 'deceive' yourself... cos hey, you are in SINGAPORE! not Euro anymore gal... But anyway, been meeting up friends and kakis so ya, spending the money on food... So it doesn't matter. Cos I like catching up with them... and just hanging out. Keep up the contact while we can, b4 sch starts and everyone gets busy... well, tonight meeting my kakis for dinner at Newton. They're real accomodating and wa... seriously touched. Cos we were actually supposed to go for steamboat buffet. But since I just put on my braces... I couldn't afford to eat that much. They change venue n food... wa... So yep... 07/07/07 and we're meeting at 7pm. think they're gg to look for table 7... haha

well, ytd was my unofficial last day of work. Cos we're still not very sure if there's a nd for me to go back next wk. The pp there are quite nice actually. And its just so qiao that I was working in the HR department... of cos, 3 days is not enuff to learn anything abt HR. But at least I saw how they operate, and how the company recruits staff. AND... got contacts liao ma. If nd to go there for PA I can drop them an email... wahaha.

today... is the day I put on my braces. haha. went there early in the morning not knowing wad to expect. Wondering how long it'll take, how pain is it, etc. But it completely took me by surprise... It wasn't as pain as I expected it to be, in fact, I actually think its not painful at all. I guess this is wad the extra money is about... less pain and less discomfort. But of cos, longer treatment... but my doc did warn me next few days might be pain though... see how it goes...

Anyway, the wire is still quite fine now so its not very obvious from afar. Of cos, if u're like sitting beside me or talking to me face-to-face you can see it la.. and gotta get used to havin these little things inside my mouth... plus eating with them inside. Its quite a chore. Gotta clean my mouth aft eating... ah... the little things that I gotta get used to...

today is my first day of work. Got e lobang on Friday evening for a 1-day assignment at Jurong Island. Its admin wk and most likely will be extending my wk accordingly to the work load there.

the HR executive was supposed to meet and drive me to e island. I found her quite a nice woman... =) very easy to chat with and alrdy jokes around with me in a sms b4 we even met. She's also from NTU... B&F. She later became my mentor at wk and I was to wk in the HR department... Ha. What a great coincidence right. But so far I only sorted and filed documents, dont have much exposure to HR stuff.

I really gotta mention how tight the security is in Jurong Island. Well... even b4 I got there, strictly spking. According to a new policy, no more temp passes are issued. So temp wkers and contractors like me gotta change our IC for a pass to enter the island every single day we're going in... And the queue in the morning is long de lo... The pass expires on the dot when I knock off. And this island pass I gotta surrender at the company's security post for a visitor pass... That's not all, when I go bk home aft wk, I am supposed to get bk my IC right? Well... aft I retrieved the island pass, I gotta make the bus uncle stop at e departure hall so I can get my IC b4 leaving e island. And YES... the whole bus gotta wait for me... So paiseh sia. Lucky just now no queue... If got queue the bus will go n I gotta take a public bus...

The sad thing is the bus shuttles between Jurong Island & JE... not boon lay! A detour for me... My only 'complaint' is the security and the shuttle bus lo... Other than tt, actually I quite enjoy e job. Cos its slack and my colleagues are nice to me. Just file only... hehe =P Ket's hope they can get me some miraculous pass so i don't have to be at e mercy of the queues and the shuttle bus uncle every morning of wk...

back from my MJ kaki chalet! well, wasn't expecting myself to slp much and it was really the case. 1st nite we din slp at all cos we stayed up playing cards (most of the adults play MJ with $$ de so we nv join them) and chatting till day like 9+ in the morning.

Only caught like 2 hrs of slp then woke up again. 2nd nite was more rowdy cos its full strength - those who're busy with family, wk etc will be turning up then. BBQ with my kakis are always fun and delicious cos I nv have to go near the pit. wahahaha. And they catered the food from BBQ wholesaler so it was just putting the food down to cook, dont have to do much prep.

But... I stayed in the chalet thru out the 3D2N... didn't step out at all... ha. Read my book sometimes while they play MJ, or just watch TV. We watched Jacky Wu's variety show tog and had a lot of gd laughs tog. Then Eugene also joined us to stay for e nite though he was engaged with earlier cos our kakis were quite eager to see him.

Showed some kakis my photos from the trip. They were envious that we got a chance to go Europe for exchange and travelling. Indeed, I didn't regret spending a sum of money on that either. Really broadened my horizons alot. Plus I came back with a bag full of wonderful memories and made new friends from other faculties... OMG. Like, finally? haha. other than those from SA/NHSS, I only have a few friends from other fac...

One of my kakis told us a creepy encounter he had at his camp during his NS days. Shocked me out of my wits tt such a thing to happen. And its so near us... =S the Jalan Bahar camp...

Anyway, tml I'm working at this company in Jurong Island for a one-day assignment. Might have to extend till like Wed or Fri. Taking it up since I dont have anything at hand now anyway... And no harm having more $$ with you right... hehe.

Ah... Seeing the date reminds me of sth... the GST hikeis offically effective... today is July 1st peeps...
