Please help me do this, if u happen to be reading my blog. Thanks!. Its different for this one, this is abt my weaknesses, and not strengths unlike the other johari window. But I can take criticisms, so yeah, just be truthful and do this for me yea? thanks!


Results will be released tmr, and I'm really so very afraid. I dun feel the least confident at all, and I guess I'll have to accept whatever God gives me. I pray to the Lord to grant my friends and I strength to face whatever results that we would receive.


On a brighter note, in an attempt to keep my mind off tmr, I'll be meeting Vic and Des for dinner later in the night before meeting the rest later to go to Obar. A night out might make me feel like jittery and all. At least I hope it would.
Oh wells.

Before long, less than 24 hrs, all these suspense I and my friends are facing would soon be over.
I slept soooo early last night. Slept like a baby! Was pretty shagged after a day out with my mum and sis.

Lunch at Soup Restaurant Paragon was good. Loved the Samsui chicken. Haha. I could eat the entire plate by myself.
Shopped the entire time after lunch. It was ok la, but I could almost fall asleep on the couch waiting for my sis to try on her clothes. She took a gazillion years!

Came home, watched SamSoon, and slept. HA.

OK just a brief one, off to SSDC now. cya.

He was alighting the bus, while I was boarding it. ha.
So I gave him my sweet bright smile and a small wave. heh heh. now who says I am dao?

Oh before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!

Yitshan is helluva funny girl! She totally cracked me up me last night on msn. hurhur.

I'm off to sleep again and maybe read a mag. bye.

thanks ah. ha.
Went to town with Mummy today. We walked like damn alot. Walked from Scotts all the way to Tanglin Mall to get my papillio. Its really quite far la, considering that Tanglin Mall is only a few stops away from Crescent. ha. Walked all the way back to Wisma after that. Good exercise anyway heh.

Wanted to WALK to PS after that, but it looked like it was gonna rain, so we took the train instead. Groccery shopping at Carrefour was good. Cos I bought a box of uh nectaries (or is it nectarines), and sundried tomato and olives foccacia which is like totally....ooh lala.

The grocceries were really heavy and and two of us were struggling with all those bags. It was really tough.

In the train (there weren't any empty seats),

Me (to my mum): wah, so heavy. Unhelpful Singaporeans. They ought to give up their seats to us.

And almost immediately, this middle-aged man got up and offered his seat to my mum.

Ha, I thought it was qutie funny, cos i nv meant to say it out loud. I was just commenting to my mum.

Hmm, no wonder my mum and friends ALWAYS say I talk too loudly, as if they were one mile away. But hey, today's incident proves that its a good thing sometimes also right? teeheehee.

Yest was my last day at work at coffee club, and I brought home Viennese chocolate cake, NY cheesecake and Blueberry cheesecake. haha, and I koped a few jazz CDs from them. Will return them though. =)
Last day at work was one hectic one. The crowd last night was most terrible. It was almost full hse, so unlike usual Fri nights, which are crowded, but not exactly packed.


Oh wells.

Anyway I'm so addicted to September by Earth Wind and Fire which Porky sent. I've loved their songs, but I have none. haha so if anyone has them, kindly send some to me yea? Thanks!

Walked ard town with Vicki SiSi and Weiyan today. Was quite productive, I bought this sweet paisely-print short dress which is quite a steal, considering that its not very expensive. As it was the last pc left (for that print), Vicki who had also set her eyes on it, give it up to me. So she bought a same dress with the same cutting, but different print. haha.

I'm gonna have fun and play all I can. While I can. Oh yeah, it seems that just when I've settled down for a full time job, everyone's quitting their full-time jobs. I hate this la. They'll all go out and play and have fun without me. Idunchlike.


I suddenly miss SA's Malay stall. I wanna eat.
I'm so depressed. I can't do the hula hoop as well as before! This is like....SO SAD. Used to be really good at it, but now, I just suck at it la. But I'll still try to do 15 mins of it everyday. (note: TRY). HA.

Anyway, those pple that I haven't been meeting up with, MEET UP SOON! Once I start my new job, I'll be working 6 days a week, off days usually being a weekday. So its gonna be quite hard to meet up with friends with office jobs. SO LETS ARRANGE AND MEET UP SOON K? Starting work next Thurs already. (ps, sigh, gotta work on most Sundays) =(. But moolah moolah makes me happy. haha.

I realised I've got so many things to do. I still have 3 bks to finish reading, my Korean drama Kim Sam Soon, and gotta study for final theory as well. Oh wells.

Ok off to read. Meeting Vicki in town later. BYE!

Utt came to the cafe yesterday. He is so droolicious I tell ya. Er, just that he looks very much shorter off-screen, so I couldn't quite believe it was him. But still, cute. ha.

Adeline was like blushing as she came behind to the bar.

" I can't face him now, my face is all red ".

HA!.

Too bad, I think he's gay.

If its of any significance at all, I prepared his ice tea yesterday. tee hee hee. ;)

Tuesday, February 21, 2006

I got a new job. will be starting work next Thurs. Hmm, but the hrs are quite sucky, I'll become a bit of a no-lifer. But who cares, I want moolah. And anyway, going out less means spending less. On food, transport, and of cos shopping. YES. (trying to convince myself).

Anyway, it seems quite exciting to start work at a new place. I just hope my colleagues will be nice people.


Ok, working soon. Cya!

Monday, February 20, 2006

Went for the NTU Open House yesterday. And I still can't decide what course to do. Sigh. Its like, there are so many things to consider. Oh wells.

And went to TRIM my hair. dammit. I'm sucha loser. I didn't do anything drastic.

Today was just work in the afternoon, followed by an interview in town.
I bought 2 tomatoes in the morning before I left for work, for my dinner, and my sis happily ate up one.
So when I came home, I was sad, cos I had only one tomato left.

Saturday, February 18, 2006

I finished "Souls The Gods Had Forsaken" (by Ralph Modder) this morning, over some hot oats with milk and cereal, just before I left for work. I was almost moved to tears, its somewhat like "When Broken Flowers Float". I could feel so much for the protagonist. I just love this kinda books. My kinda books. HA.

Snippets from past few days at work.

This loving mother who caressed her little son ( abt P2), and planted many sweet little kisses on him. Hugged him so tightly, u just know she couldn't live without him.

I so touched, I wanted to smile at them. Not sure if I did. Maybe I did, but they didn't look up. So perhaps they didn't see.


This young and pretty lady came in with her bf( quite a looker as well), their hands held tgt so tightly, I could almost feel their love for each other. She had a bouquet in her hand (it was on V-day. duh. haha), and she was all smiles, and so was her bf. Its like u could sense they were just so into each other. The very epitome of bliss.=). I silently hoped that they would stay like this, fo ever. (yes cliche, ha but true).


It is things like this, that make my days at work. :))

But still, I feel that its time to move on, to experience a different kind of working environment. I really want a change in environment. But that, I'll have to see. To see if other good opportunities come along.

Maybe I shall shed my image too. I wanna chop my hair. Short. bob-style. It might signify a new me, since I haven't had short hair since 12. However, everyone (friends, colleagues) all think that I shouldn't. All think I look ok as it is. But really, I noe I dun.
I want a new image, a new me, and I'll start with my hair. The rest can maybe wait.
Oh, maybe if all feel that I should keep my hair length, how bout cutting my fringe? Bangs maybe? So long as its not how it is now.

I so wanna do sth drastic.

So I've been hoping I'll have the courage.

Driving today was so fun. and funny. Cos I shriek, scream, and go...'wohhhhhhhh' when pedestrians who dun abide by traffic rules suddenly dash across the road. So pls ah, those who are guilty of these (sigh, namely me, SOMETIMES ONLY), please stop. Dun cause agony to drivers like me.

I was driving along the road when a few pple suddenly dashed across.

me: 'AHHHHHHH!!!!!'
Instructor: ' dun worry, they can see u one, they will noe how to avoid the car.just go just go.'
me: 'huh, but I scared.'
me:' wah lao, these kind of pple give me heart attacks.'
Instructor:' u give me heart attacks'

The traffic light was amber, and as I was approaching the traffic light I was deciding whether to go or not to go. So panicky can.

Instructor:' just go just go!'
So I sped up, wanting to quickly move on before the light turned red.
But in the end,

Me: 'HUH, dun want!'

So I braked suddenly, and stopped pass the white line. SIGH.

Hmm, so now I noe. Must be zai. haha. It all comes with more practice I guess.

My poor instructor. Gotta bear with funny noises made by me. But actually I realise shrieking or screaming or woh-ing to myself makes me more relaxed. haha. Maybe my way of expressing my emotions on the road?
But I think, he ear pain.


So I came home, ate maggie mee for lunch. SIGH. Poor thing pls.
And since I've gotten the Kim Sam Soon VCD from Vicki, I'm gonna start watching today.

Vicki's mum: ' why Joyce always so free one ah?'

Er. SEE LA!

So now, I'm eagerly waiting for Roy to get back to me. Cos his Dad needs pple for his company, some office admin thingy. According to Roy, if he is not lying (Roy, that is,tee hee hee), the hrs are pretty flexible, so I WANT!.
Hurry, Roy! I might be Roy's assistant. HAH! Dun laugh!

Thursday, February 16, 2006

The membership fee at the yoga and dance studio is not very cheap ah. SIGH.
Anyway I'll think abt it, though Vicki seemed rather interested in it. Of cos la, so near for her. I still gotta travel so far, unless I go to the branch at Suntect which offer only pathetically few classes. Oh wells.

Town after that. Plucked eye brows. and had lunch at Subway. We were deciding between Far East Chicken Rice, Subway, and Korean food, and in the end, reached the conclusion that we should eat healthily. yes pls, the Subway diet.

Shopped shopped shopped after lunch, and at ard 4 Vicki met up with her cousin whilst I went home. Ok, so here I am at home. Blogging. ha!. Meeting them again later tonight for pool. Ah, pool. Haven't touched the cue for abt a mth!


I'm so hungry. I'm gonna eat.

Adios!

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Met the high-class-one aka the tai-tai aka The Best Friend after my work this afternoon in town. We were supposed to go pluck eye brows, but realised, upon reaching there, that the eye brow salon had been closed for staff retreat. Made a wasted trip there! Its no wonder my ez-link card value has been depleting at an oh-so-alarming-rate. SIGH. If only I could fly. SIGH.

Shopped around after that, and as I entered the fitting room at forever21, I was shocked and disgusted to find a plastic bag of who-knows-what-but-I'm-pretty-sure-its-vomit hung behind the door. The contents of the plastic bag were so gross it was so sick! It sure looked like regurgitated half-digested food. The whole time that I was changing I tried to keep my eyes off it, but still.....eucks!

And for the sake of fellow shoppers I told the staff tending to the fitting rooms abt it.

Me: Er, I think someone vomitted and left the bag of vomit behind the door. Maybe u would want to clear it later.

Staff: REALLY?!

Haha. His eyes were as huge as golfballs! I'm serious! His expression was so funny when I told him that!
Till now when I think of his reaction, I still chuckle to myself. heh!


Borrowed some books from the library today. BUT! Still no Shanghai Baby. ugh.

Anyway, meeting the high-class-one aka the tai tai aka The Best Friend again tomorrow to check out yoga and dance classes. And, of cos, to pluck eye brows. ha!

Wala Wala tomorrow. I'm not too sure if I wanna go though. Holland V is like Malaysia to me!.sigh. Have I not mentioned it before? ha!ha!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Like what Yoke said, its not too big a deal. I agree, but I guess its still lovely to spend this day with loved ones, family and friends! =))

Msgs and greetings from all my dearies and lovelies are very much appreciated!<3.
Quote from the msg from brudder was quite funny! : " I celebrate my day today by throwing grenades!".
Ah, NS really sucks, doesn't it!?

Anyway driving today was fun fun fun.

Oh yeah there was this very goondoo guy today when I was at work this afternoon. He came in alone, carrying this big box that held a wooden chest of bouquet of roses (very pretty indeed), sat down, and ordered two ice-blended mango tango. After an hr and a half, he was only half-way through his mango tango, while the other glass that was untouched (supposedly for his date) has melted away. (er, its ICE-BLENDED. and hey, ice doesn't need 1.5hrs to melt u noe?).

Adrian was like 'wah, happy hour ah, one for one!'

me: he has been there for one and a half hours la!
Fra: he got stood up! he got stood up! (in a sing-song manner)

me: yeah I hope his date doesn't turn up! ha!ha!

As u can see, we're all evil pple. heh!

Anyway after an eternity (to him, that is), his date did turn up before I knocked off.
This goondoo guy had the cheek to ask us to replace the ICE-BLENDED mango tango for his date. wth. Is he stupid to order so early or what? He is not too bright ah!?

Er okay, actually I shouldn't be so mean la. haha!
Hope she liked his wonderful gift though! (an attempt to redeem myself for being so mean and evil. ha!ha!).


Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad

Working tonight! lovelaye. I'm enjoying my job more and more, I just hope Adrian wouldn't transfer too soon. He's a nice manager!

haha and everyone's asking me why I quit the stupid receptionist job. well, cos its a stupid and bimbotic job.and I dun like the way things are handled there.

Sunday, February 12, 2006

I watched the fireworks from the window of my home
The prettaye myriad of colours adorned the sky
Sparks of solid gold, red, blue and green
Little tadpoles dancing amongst the clouds
truckloads.of.bullshite.

Saturday, February 11, 2006

I quit my new part time job after just 5 hrs on the first day of work. haha! I didn't really like the environment thats why. It isn't very nice being a receptionist, at least not there. (er I dun dare mention where. haha scared kena sued)heh!

Angie: haha so u see, I quit already. why u quitting ur job anyway?

Amanda: I'm taking auto. Manual is tough la. haha. anyway now cars are auto.

I wanted to go out today after work. (btw, work was damn fun today. cos I was doing bar, I kept making drinks for myself, and kept popping cookies. Its quite bad cos I think I'll put on wt this way. Maybe I shouldn't do bar too aften ah.haha.)

Oh yeah I wanted to ask the girls out today after work but I realised that Eileen and Vicki has their pre V-day dates with Samuel and Desmond respectively today). So now, I'm stuck at home this evening. BIG FAT SIGH.

He was like, " watch myself act!". heh!

Thursday, February 09, 2006

Was stuck in the classroom from 8.350 this morn till 12.10 in the afternoon, save for the 2 10 min breaks. The first half was boring, but at least it got a lil more interesting during the second half. Haven't felt like that since after the As. Oh wells. The instructors who lectured are nice pple though. heh, they crack silly jokes. Whoever says driving instrcutors are scary!?. erm but maybe I shouldn't speak so soon yet. haha!

Yay, working later. My new part time job. I'm still at coffee club by the way. heh.


The weather's so nice to sleep.

Monday, February 06, 2006

Sat:

The private event sucked so much. It was boring. And the pple were awfully disgusting it sickens me to even write about them. Well, basically they are ah sohs and ah peks who are high-class wannabes.

HELLO? LOOK AT URSELVES IN THE MIRROR FIRST BEFORE BOSSING PPLE AROUND CAN OR NOT!

It didn't help that for the entire morning and afternoon, my phone was left in Adrian's car. And so, I was cut off from the outside world for close to 9 freakin hours.
Damn alot of mosquitoes also man. Poor Cindy and Farrah got bitten on their faces.


Anyway, I was sucha klutz (as usual). Cos for drinks we had sprite, coke and F&N orange, and anyway, since it was a CNY party, there were mandarin oranges all around.
So this friendly-looking old man (one of the very few around) came to me.

old man: Hi, can I have an orange?
me: (shocked) uh...orange?
old man: (smiling) yes please.

I looked around, and saw a solitary mandarin orange on the table and was so glad and proud of myself that I managed to find an orange for the old man.

me: (holding the orange in my hand) here u go. (smiling so brightly somemore la)

old man: oh no! I meant orange juice!

And everyone, esp Fad, all burst out laughing, even the old man himself. I was so so so so freakin embarrassed la. And for the rest of the day, Fad started calling me "eh orange!". wah lau so paiseh plsssssssss.



Sun:

Went to JP to watch Donald sing at some singing contest. (Read this: Donald!)haha my Korkor sings well aye! Not surprising he got into the semi finals.
Walked around, and ATE alot.
Went to my uncle's place after that. Forgot that Tally was there, till I reached the place.sigh.
I guess Tally is ok, but its just that he's over-friendly he scares me, and Clare, and Clarence, and also Christopher.

Anyway I saw this bottel of colourful biscuits on the foosball table, in pastel pink,yellow and blue. I was like 'yay, mushmallows!'. So I went to open the bottle and realised that the thingamajigs inside were somewhat hard, unlike normal mushmallows.

me to my sis: 'eh are these dog food or not ah? why so wierd one?'

before my sis could reply me, my aunt went "EH! DUN EAT! DOG'S FOOD!"

wah heng ah. I nearly ate up Tally's dinner. ha!ha!

Oh and I borrowed Korean dramas from my aunt. So it gonna be Korean drama mania again. Finally, something to while away my time. =)

Friday, February 03, 2006

Driving today was not bad. Pretty fun I say. My instructor was just so so so nice and patient!. Oh wells. But I might not be getting him again my next lesson. =(


And yar, Memoirs of a Geisha was alright. They cut off quite a bit though. Zhang Ziyi has pretty blue/grey/whatever eyes in the show. Ah, the wonders of coloured contacts!

I ate soooo much today. And yesterday. And the past few days. big fat sigh.

Vicki: lets register for the yoga and dance lessons!!!!!! ASAP ok?! (at least I get to work out ABIT!)

Claire just told me results will most probably be out the week after next. This is wayyy too scary. I didn't feel so scared for Os (like real!). To say I'm scared is just but an understatement.

Claire: We'll TRY not to think abt it yeah?

Wednesday, February 01, 2006

Oh I realised the archives can work! but in a really wierd way. U gotta go to 'Profile', then select which ever date u want. The past entries dun appear right away.U still gotta click on 'Entries'. why so ma fan one? Can someone help?! Pretty pls???!!!!!!!!

Anyway uploaded pics. Go to 'clickits', under Rojaks. Its a really wierd combination of pics though. bits and pieces here and there.


Oh yar, I saw Charmaine at MoS that day. The one from church. She slimmed down so much, but still recognizable la. haha
Changed my skin. Pretty obvious ain't it? haha. but dang, the archives can't work. Ah, memories! (dating back to 2003)
