smelly stock take

i like going to work...kinda like going to school, cos ailian is there. haha. today's stock take day. my first time and my job was to do "audits" and i stood awkwardly around the workers as they counted the cow hides and i had to count it with them to make sure the numbers were correct. the smell in the production area is pretty bad, but i got used to it after a while. leathery smells...

ended quite fast cos the production workers started counting at 645am so they were almost done by the time i got down at 9am. went back to my office and had to run around to get some cheques signed for my "boss" and for the dispatch guy. and cos there was some problem and my "boss" was still in the production area, i had to run up and down a few times to show her stuff and tell her who to call. lol. i could have taken the easier route by just calling the extension in the production office, but i didnt have anything to do, so i had to make myself look busy.

got a few calls from some vendors chasing me for payment. so kiasu! it's not like we havent paid them in over six months. they should know the company's payment style by now, we always pay at the end of the month! went for lunch and ate the usual food at the ONLY in-house canteen, but today there was yummy si-chuan soup, so i shared a bowl with ailian. it costs $1.80 for a bowl of soup...is it a rip off? i think so, but there isnt much choice anyways. and as usual, ailian had her yakult ritual after every lunch. haha. and as usual, i sat on the teeny weeny window ledge near her table, till my big butt would hurt, to have chit chat. had the longest lunch ever cos the finance manager wasnt in today and even the perm staff were chit chatting...one eat snake all eat snake.

ended work with alot of things still waiting to be done, but they jolly well will have to wait till wednesday cos TOMORROW IS A HOLIDAY! and i'm going out with him... :))))

outing with nis and saad

went out with nis and saad and ct. had teh tarik at a shop that saad likes alot that's at bugis. i had a teh halia, as usual, but it tasted like any other cup of teh halia to me. too bad i didnt have dan there to drink up the foam for me...haha.

we were suppose to meet at 4, but then nis smsed us and said between 4 to 430, so of cos i chose to be there at 430 so i wouldnt have to wait for anyone. turned out, i was slighty late and nis was late too. jermin didnt come cos he thot nis wasnt coming and kc didnt come for some reason. so it was just us 4 girls.

ct had to be home for dinner cos her parents wanted her home and the 3 of us decided to watch a movie. 200 pounds beauty, some korean show. bcos the bugis theater was under shaw and shaw's chairs wernt exactly the most comy, we took a train down to cathy only to find out that the tickets were all sold out. and since GV at PS wasnt screening 200 pounds beauty we decided to try out luck at cine.

bumped into yihao on our way to cine. he was infront of us at a traffic junction and he so happened to turn around and i shouted his name. he was on his way to vivo to meet the SP gang, and the party theme colour was brown. haha. he wore a similar shirt to what ken was going to wear, so i'm wondering whether they were called gay partners standing beside each other. haha. had a good chat with him until the douby ghaut mrt where he said his goodbyes.

got to cine and in the end the tickets there were sold out too. we just settled for dinner at long john's where saad scolded some kid for accidently throwing ice at her. haha. she thought he was aiming for her, but after considering the situation where they were playing with ice, i kinda concluded that he was actually aiming for his friend but missed and hit her instead. the poor kid who got scolded by a stranger.

there was some motorcross thingy held by channel U just outside cine and we went over to take a look at the pathetic track laid out for the race. wasnt much fun watching so we left and walk to HMV to listen to music and look around. we got to the 3rd floor and they were showing a preview of White chicks. been a while since i saw that show and it was really funny. we stood there watching the show for about 10 mins or more before they turned it off. i think it was bcos the ppl working there kinda realised that there were alot of ppl standing aorund watching it. and when they turned it off there was actually simultaneous "aww" from the ppl watching. haha. i might just borrow it from some rental and watch it for a good laugh one day.

we left HMV and went window shopping. window shopping for them, but money spending for me. haha. i went to try a dress from chaos that costs 79 bucks and was a bit too revealing for my liking, so i didnt come out of the dressing room to show nis and saad. i only liked the pattern on the dress though. when they went looking inside nike i kinda saw the word "sale" all the way from across the building in IS. i think the butterflies used for the decor drew me to wanna look at the clothes. it gave me the spring summer feeling. like i'm out in a green open field and the sun shinning down on me in a nice bright coloured dress and the breeze blowing thru my hair.... i was looking thru the sale rack cos the other dresses were too formal to be worn on any normal day and i spotted 2 dresses that i really liked. went to try both on. one was a pinkish red dress that had like flower patterns on it and the other was a light purple with indianish designs on it. both were really sweet looking, but nis and saad said the reddish one looked better, so i bought it. but i cant stop thinking about the purple dress so i might just go down tmw to get it. rather then regret not buying it. spent bout 100 bucks on clothes this whole month, feeling kinda guilty, but i need my shopping therapy after what i've been going thru the past few weeks. i need to go bangkok again. shopping there is like heaven and makes me feel like a millionaire.

had fun chatting with them on our way back. i'm half glad that the guys didnt come or there might be endless whacking of ppl and shouting, on the other hand, we might have more fun and entertainment from the "love" that saad and kc enjoyed displaying in public. haha.

i love my new dress. rob, if you invite me to your birthday i'll wear it specially for you. haha. so you better not forget about me.

new job

went for the interview at HTL International. they manufacture furniture. it'll just be a contract for 3 months and i'll see if i wanna continue with them. i might wanna try out working in a bank too cos aunty daisy did say she could help me submit my resume at the bank she works at. anyways, it was a short interview and they were kinda desperate to look for a tempoary accounts assistant so they hired me almost right away. i'll be starting work next week and it's a good pay. can start saving up for my driving lessons and a nice shopping trip to bangkok again. really need a new wardrobe, i havent touched almost half of my clothes in over a year.

met up with brenda, cara, nut and a girl who was apparently in MG primary that i couldnt remember called xiuli...i think...haha. didnt really talk to her much when we went out. was kinda fun going out with them again. the last time we went out was almost 2 or 3 years ago, and it was at the marriot hotel playing cards beside the pool. haha. us, the daidi queens in sec 4.

i bought 2 lovely dresses from cine. it was actually 1 for 20 bucks 2 for 36 bucks and 3 for 45 bucks, but then i tried to get cara to get one and she couldnt find a nice one to buy, but then the shop lady thought that she was getting 1 and i was getting 2, so she charged me only 30 bucks for the 2 that i bought....in the end it was a slight misunderstanding and cara didnt buy the dress, but the lady was nice enough to not ask me for the extra 6 bucks. 6 bucks is alot! can buy me 2 plates of hokienmee. haha.

going out with aunty cas tmw cos emmanuel is going for some school outing so she'll be free to go shopping. hope i dun see anything nice tme cos i'm going broke. shouldnt even have bought the 2 dresses today. way out of budget. got to start living on bread and butter from now till the end of the month.

wakeboarding

nic came back for about 2 weeks. left this morning. had a fun 2 weeks. the first time we met him was last thursday at chomps with some squashers giving him a welcome back dinner and dessert at ice cube. yummy :)))

the second meeting was on wednesday, his birthday dinner at manhatten!! even yummier!! lol. got full really fast cos i ate too much rice, delicious buttered rasin rice... i think i have been eating too much and sleeping too much these few days...butt growing bigger. haha. after manhatten we went to the daohui store near douby ghaut to eat some daohui. there were 2 stores and we found out from dan that the 2 stores were owned by brothers who were competing against each other. but of cos we went to the nicer and more original store to eat, they had more people in their shop so i kinda felt bad for the other store. but this is called doing business, cant always have things go your way.

after the 2 girls left i decided to follow dan and nic to go zouk for fun. i only went for the drinks and free entry. i wouldnt pay to go in. lol. i had a lychee martini and a tequilla sunrise. i would prefer tequilla sunrise cos there's more drink in one cup then the lychee martini. haha. went down to the dance floor. mambo night. lame dance moves....seriously lame... lol...but i didnt dance. i'm really not the dancing kind. pubbing is more my kinda thing. got back home bout 2 am smelling like smokes.

met nic for the very last time yesterday for wakeboarding. one word - FUN! nic's cuz brought her friend along so there was 4 of us. made new 2 new friends. eddie was the boat driver and our wakeboarding teacher. was kinda excited when we first boarded the boat. went to pulua ubin's waters to wakebaord. nic was the first to go into the water and he made it seem so effortless out there. he's so very pro. can do stunts and everything. haha. i was the third person to go and i was kinda scared about going in to the water at first cos i didnt wanna be left floating in the water alone while the boat has to be quite a distance away in order to pull the string. but i tried not to let my imagination run wild. managed to stand on the board the very first time the boat pulled, but fell without really standing all the way up. i did manage to stay on the board for a good long min before falling into the water for one of the times. kinda cool with the wind in my hair, like floating on water. haha. everything was fun except having the salty water rush thru my nose everytime i fell. the salty water was as salty as take a small cup of water and stiring in 10 tablespoons of salt. it's THAT salty. my face turned really red after a while and eddie made me put on some sunblock. i got burnt after that, but not very serious. my muscle aches are the more serious one. i cant sleep properly, cant lift my arms to change, cant bend down to pick things.

cant wait to get better.....

for you

wanna dedicate this song to ken. hope you'll like it :)

MY WISH - Rascal Flatts

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,

And each road leads you where you want to go,

And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,

I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.

And if one door opens to another door closed,

I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,

If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.

But more than anything, more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,

All the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

And you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

This is my wish

I hope you know somebody loves you

May all your dreams stay big

ESPN

went for an interview at ESPN for a data entry job, or so i thought. i was being interviewed by two guys called joseph and trevor. i think the trevor guy is not singaporean cos he had this long unique last name. anyways, they said that i was given the wrong information and i wasnt being interviewed for a data entry job, it was some presenting formater or something like that. erm...he said a whole lot of what the job duties are so i was kinda lost but i roughly know what i would be doing if i ever get hired. the office is all the way at toa payoh so i got to leave my house one and a half hours to get to the place. considered quite far for me, but it's super near ken's place. lol. too bad i dun stay there.

on my way back i decided to attempt to cook fried rice for dinner. but it didnt turn out as good as i thought it should be. haha. i guess it's probably cos i used weird ingredients, not the normal kind that u would find in fried rice. haha. but it was a good attempt :)

My Happy Ending

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

April Fools!

Happy April Fools! and also wanna wish Jeremy a HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY!!! it's a great year so must enjoy it as much as you can ya. soon you'll be 20 like me, no more turning back to be at the age where you can see a 1 in front.

such a glommy day. suppose to go out but in the end it rained and i was too lazy to step out of the house. i've been sleeping my afternoons away these few days, such an unproductive way to spend my days. i need to go out! just ask me out k, anyone, i'll most likely agree, unless someone else ask me out first. heh.

i think i'm either going to become skinnier or fatter. have been eating the chesse cake Dan made for all 3 meals these past 2 days. maybe it's considered only for 2 meals, cos i dun usually eat breakfast.

oh ya, was reminded of something funny that happened at Dan's place the other day. we were talking and i said "then..." and paused for a very long time, so he didnt know if i was saying his name or trying to figure out what to say. haha. okay...maybe it might not be that funny, but it was funny then.

dinner time (:

oreo cheesecake

i've been trying to get people to go out with me during the weekends so i wont feel so loney at home. but sometimes i did rather just stay home and waste my time watching tv and getting scratched and bitten by the kitten than go out and face the world with my untidy hair and dull skin...

went over to dan's last thursday night to use my philly cheese that i bought long time ago cos it was expiring soon and i had to make a cheesecake out of it or i would have to waste it by throwing a good unopened pack into the bin. bought the stuffs we needed and headed back to his place...he made me do the pounding of the oreo biscuits and said it was the easiest job [yarr rightt!!]. my whole arm was aching by the end of the day. but the cheesecake turned out alright...although the oreo crumbs on the top kept falling off my spoon and onto my clean floor everytime i try to eat it.

went out with evelyn to have a chat and a free meal at sakae. haha. thankew evelyn! i really look up to her...all the things she's gone through, and it's hard not to notice the wisdom in her speech. haha. had a good chat about the CPA stuff, and i'm glad i've someone like her to talk to or else i wont know where i'm headed. i guess i'll utimately choose the accounting route but where it'll lead me to depends on what i expect out of the job i guess. i'm kinda looking for the more stable kinda job where you go into work and do the same thing almost everyday. i know i'm a very boring person, have been told that since i was primary four by a close friend. haha. anyways...i guess i like more predictable stuff then unnecessary surprises.

nic's coming back from auz. suppose to go to sentosa on good friday but it'll prob be jammed pack, plus the fact that i'll be only one girl amongst four boys...count me out. so i'll be meeting the squashers on thursday night at chomps instead. i'll be working by then so hope i'll be able to make it. really miss him!! think it's been almost half a year since we all saw him right?

i really hope my next weekend would be a better one. including the fact that i wont have to work my butt off next friday night by of shoving flyers to mostly unhappy and irritated people. i like what bertha said, "it's good money, so go away". all of us hated it when our friends happened to pass by and see us in that "argh!" costume. haha.

i need a break from my singapore life. really looking forward to my trip to cambodia in august...well, at least i hope i'll be free by then to go for a short trip, i miss my daddy and mommy. i was actually quite excited that all the ladies were going to be free after we finished exams cos we were talking about going to sunway for a short holiday and major sunburn, but it didnt happen in the end. money problem and timing problem. but i'll make sure all seven of us go on a holiday together someday, alish chris esther sanne nat veron and me.
