2007-04-30T11:56:00.000-07:00

I have moved to http://secretdreamworld.wordpress.com/

I always lose connection in blogger that i got no idea y. It irritates me that much that i decided to move " house" after almost 2 years.

Bye bye blogger!

KL- 31 March to 1 April

2007-04-12T20:42:00.000-07:00

This KL trip was really kinda last min thingy. I wanted to go for hols so badly. Nothing surprising for those who knows me for years. U know my style... I need to go for a short break every few months to recharge. And this is really a very very short one.

Supposed to go with my parents but.... last min changes they decided to make me disappointed. I was grumpy about that and in search of frenz who interested to go for short trip. Elvin supposed to tag along but guess he is uncomfortable with the others and he dropped the idea. Was planning for a Genting trip again but Agnes wasnt keen about that. She prefer KL more. SO... there we go... but wait a min... last min, Sean wanted to join us too.

SURPRISE!

so we got our tickets and hotel on friday, setting off on sat morning. Woke up early in the morning like 5++ to get ready as the coach was leaving at 6.15hrs. Compliment about the frenz going for this trip... none of them was late. I personally scared of those pple who are typically late for every occasion even on trips. U know some things need to be on schedule and being late will jus mess up everything. Well, the coach brought us to discovery centre for breakfast. It was all for free. So considerate for those pple like me who do not have the habit of eating breakfast to grab some quick bites.

On the way to KL...

Took us hours to get there. By the time we set our foot in KL, it was ard 12hrs. We got our hotel rooms, left our stuffs, zoomed off for lunch. Oh ya... we stayed back the same hotel as my previous KL trip- Royale Bintang. Walked over to Sungei Wang for some food and explored our shopping perks over there.

Our 1st meal upon reaching KL

Boo...

I didnt get much stuffs. I'm an unhappy girl.... i was planning to get some new tops or bottoms, looking high n low for this heffalump soft toy. Coz i saw my temp girl has it and it is really really cute. And i didnt get anything except a belt. Agnes got shorts and tops, Sean got the most i think and me.... only a belt. DUH!

Pictures taken while....

Agnes was trying out her shorts,

Sean was trying out his shirts,

And what about me???? I didnt try out anything.... coz noting much to buy! ARGH!

Came across this cafe whereby their seats are...

Though girls really love shopping but... we need a break too. Tried out the foot massage cum shoulder massage over there. That cost only RM 40 for 40 mins or 45 mins. Woo.. i love massage. If only Singapore has such a cheap n decent place for massage...

It started raining so heavily that our plans to chinatown was cancelled. I wanted to have our dinner there and shop ard to see if i can get more stuffs for myself. Too bad! We ran all the way back to our hotel to rent umbrella. We were like all wet when we reached the hotel lobby. It's jus 2 buildings away. All umbrellas were out. None for us.... so we went back to our room to wait for the rain to stop.

Watching the tv... watching the sky... watching the floor.... watch the poodle of water on the street.... we were far too bored by staying in the hotel room. Finally, the rain stopped but it's still damn wet on street. We decided to go to street Alor ( if i didnt get it wrongly) for dinner. The food wasnt as nice as chinatown... I was expecting to spend on nice food on the trip but..... quality wise was so-so... and i jus cant help but to fall for DURIANS.... U know durians seems so temptimg there. Agnes and I ate the durians by the road side. It was really nice and worth the money paid for. And some japanese passby.. they were thinking of trying coz they were seeing us eating the durians. Not sure if they can bear with the smell but.. oh dear... i'm missing durians again. When is the durian season coming?

As we were walking along the stretch of bukit bintang,

and what we see

It looks like a lift.. out of nowhere... but it's actually a toilet. What you need is jus RM 0.20,

Slot it in and the door will open. You are only given 15 mins to use it. When time is almost up, you will hear the buzzing sound and it jus open after a min whether ur "business" is done or not.

The interior of the toilet

The buttons to open and close the door. And of coz the bell for emergency purpose. Perhaps like got stuck in the toilet bowl?

Believe it or not... the toilet is very very clean. Even better than those in shopping centres in Malaysia. What's more when it is even air- conditioned... It's an experience to be inside.

So next time if you happen to be in KL, go try it out. It's only RM0.20

Went for some shopping. Finally got a top from FOS. ONe and only... by the time, most of the shops were closed. We decided to go back to hotel for a rest before the next activity began. KTV began at 12.30am. Buffet was provided, free flow of drinks and it's only like RM32 for 4 hours. Eat... drink and sing...till all of us were damn shag. Agnes even closed her eyes to catch some sleep. U can imagine.. singing till 4 am.

SHAG...

Was waken up by some doorbell. A Housekeeping staff wanted to clean the room. Duh!! We were still sleeping, checking out only at 1pm. The hotel should have inform their staffs and got more accurate info. Well, went for our breakfast at this place called Shanghai Ten for Tim Sum. I love the food there. It's the best out of the meals that we ate in KL. The Walnut chicken pie.... the fried rice, the avocado pie and the Xiao Long Bao..... Fantastic. Too hungry to take any pictures. It's all in my TUMMY.

Thumb up!!!

Time to be back to Singapore... Went back to the hotel and packed our stuffs. While packing....

And... we really dun feel like going home...

See our faces....

And lastly,

Tat's the end of our KL trip.

I wanna work overseas too.

2007-04-07T09:14:00.000-07:00

U know... i really love my job. Sean says that he is impressed with the way i carry myself and the way i speak. Guess this is what i learn in my job.

But... working in an independent hotel or even in any big chain international hotel, i wont get to being assigned to work overseas. Sigh... i wanna have the experience on working overseas. I guess it will be lonely to be alone in a foreign land but it's really a very very good experience. I un get to have the chance to study overseas. Hence, pinning hope on my job. Guess i got into the wrong job as well. My job or rather in HR line, other than overseas recruitment, u wont get to assigned to other countries for like 1 yr or even 2. That's so envious when i'm reading blogs of my frenz that they are leaving for Shanghai, Greece and France for work.

What i can do is to be only be able to save up to go for hols. I'm still trying hard to save for my up-coming trip. Should be soon... in jul hopefully.

Weeks Ago...

2007-04-02T06:28:00.000-07:00

Damn busy these days. I dun even have enough rest, not to mention about blogging. That explains why i have disappeared for a short while. Packed with projects, assignments for school, busy for month-end reports, new recruitments for work... only manage to catch like 5 hours of sleep every month. Tat's simply not enough for me... i need at least 8 hours per day. I tried to grab hold of every single min that i have to nap. Be it on the way to work or way back home ( provided there's seats available)

Let me start off with the BBq that i have on one of the saturdays... it was a bbq that was organised for my temp girl's farewell. It's kinda fast.. she has worked here for 2 months and heading back to school soon. The start of her poly life... She seems like she is still a little girl who really in love with Mickey Mouse. The necklace that she wore on her neck, the ear stud that she has, the top that she wore... they are all Mickey Mouse. We wanted to buy her a Mickey Mouse top ... but kinda hard to choose one for her. So we saw Mickey Mouse watch. It was okie... i mean for a 17 years old girl should be okie... but a little kiddy for me. I almost set my decision when i saw the strip.... Ergh! It's in brown... those ah pek watch kinda brown. Eeee... i asked the lady if the strip comes in other colour. She was like.. all designs only have one n only over there. Duh!!!

I wont wanna get a watch with ah Pek strip. A big NONO...went over to city chain to get another watch for her. Not only from me... it's from Eileen and Annie as well. Hope she likes it! Back to BBQ, we were supposed to go to her condo for BBQ. It was booked way before.. like 2 to 3 weeks in advance. On the very day, everything was in a mess.

1) Lynette had arranged to meet Eileen to get the food in the market. Guess what... Eileen was not contactable till noon.

2) Vera was assigned to order otah but got no otah. She ordered 50 sticks of Satay instead, Who knows... Lynette also ordered 50 sticks of satays too. Ended up with 100 sticks of satays...

3) Pit was booked way before. On that day, Lynette went to check and found out that the security uncle forgot to help her to book. we have all the food but no pit to bbq.

So in the end, we ended up at Diane’s place at Westwood drive. Hey hey… I drove down okie. I even picked Vera who is living very near me. Annie was pretty okie with my driving but Vera… she seemed a little scared. Okie okie…I only got my licence for barely 2 months but I still an official driver. Com’on , have more confidence in me!

Best part was, I did not get lost and even drive a bunch of girls to MRT, Lynette and Vera back home. Lynette…. she stay at Hillview area and need to go thru a slope to get to her place. SLOPE..*shivers* Everything was okie till we were nearing her condo.
Rachel: Turn left here right?

Lynette: No… u gotta go straight den turn left.

Rachel though “go straight den turn left” means turn at the next junction not this coming one.

Guess what Lynette suddenly say “ hey… turn left here” What she meant by go straight den turn left is… referring to the same junction. Aiyo, she tot I so stupid to turn where there is no road. Of coz I know need to go straight den can turn… Due to this, the gan cheong spider me…got the engine stalled.

Argh!!! Embarassed!!!

The security must be thinking that I’m so dumb… engine stalled at his guard house. Sigh…

I need to brush up on my driving skills.

On Sunday, I drove down to get the cake from my dad. It was my daddy’s birthday. Cake was okie…. But 1 kg was a little too much. I should ordered only 0.5kg coz the chocolate was too rich. No matter how nice, u can only be able to fill ur stomach with 1 piece but u can feel really full.

Went over to Safra at Mount faber to have our dinner. Food was nice… can go again some other time. It was my 1st time there. It’s generally nicer than other safra clubs but…. This safra @ mount faber is damn ulu. I dun even know how to get there if my bro didn’t drive.

I shall end off with the only pic that i took in the BBQ.

Training Week

2007-03-24T18:26:00.000-07:00

I was packed with training last week.

Monday and Tuesday - Effective Business writing Skills
Wednesday - Presentation skills
Friday - How to charm your listeners: The Art of making small talks

U know sometimes training can be quite tiring. You jus sit down there... listen... and there you go... eyes are getting heavy, heavier and close. It's very rude to sleep in the training. This simply shows the trainer that " you are boring to the core"

That's Tom( Trainer) and me

BUT

the training that i attended were good especially the one how to charm your listeners. It was held over at SP. I realised that not many companies are willingly to sponsor their staffs to talks, seminars or courses as i'm te only one there that was sponsored. Others for out their own $$ to go for this kinda upgrading seminar. The presentor was a young and vibrant guy, Eric Feng. He is really someone who is able to catch your attention throughout the whole session. He talks about stories that relates closely to what we should be adapting, using hand-ons methods to let us go through how things should go about. The way to start a conversation with strangers... Something that will come in handy to everyone.

We are supposed to "make small talks" with the other participants during the break time. Eric made it a point that everyone has to make an effort to start the conversation. Wonder why everyone jus came to talk to each other very naturally, adopting what he has taught us. It jus comes so naturally. It's true!!!

Go and check it out his webbie !

New staffs

2007-03-20T19:47:00.000-07:00

I went over to airport to pick the new staffs that our hotel has recruited on the previous recruitment trip in Malaysia. Supposed to 8 people from kuching and Kota Kinabalu... but by 1pm, i only have 6 of them with me.

Argh!!!!

Beats me! Where have the other 2 gone to? Or did they even board the plane at all??? I was running lilke a mad woman in the airport to the Malaysia airline counter to ask to check. Some of the staffs are pretty unfriendly and told me that she can't do anything for me. Finally got help from this lady from the Business class counter to help me out with that.

1 found... the other one never turn up at all. * shrugs*

According to his frenz, they said that he didnt turn up at the airport at all. Not to waste any time further, we gotta get going to their respective "new home". The one that i'm expecting the most didn't turn up. Boo.... u know why the guy jus simply leave me a very very deep impression and i was expecting to see him at the airport... coz his name is called Mcdonald. I wonder why did his parents even tot of naming him Mcdonald. Whenever i tried to make a phone call to Malaysia, the phone operator will ask you who you are calling to. When i say Mcdonald, they went silence. I know it's weird.... i found it extremely amusing when i first came across his profile.

At least, it's something unique about him - His name.

Annie's Birthday

2007-03-18T19:33:00.000-07:00

Last monday, we were busy planning Annie's birthday. I'm not putting in much of the idea as Eileen has already tot of where to go and what to buy for her. We chip in to get a Coach bag for her and brought her over to Marina South Pier - Pier Eleven. Such a romantic place... i guess it's such a pity to be with 6 other girls there to celebrate her birthday.

The ambience there was perfect!!! BUT food was totally lousy. At least for the one that i ate.... some beer battered fish. It's awful... especially the fish came with this jelly like thick layer which made me feel like vomitting. I suspect it's the fish skin... Yucks! Stuffs there are quite ex as well. We are practically paying for the nice view and atmosphere. Service isnt good too. It took them almost half an hour to get us ice water. -_-"

And nicest food that we ate for the night was the cake that was bought from our hotel. Ruben is good pastry chef!!! The cake was really nice and i've decided to order one for my daddy's birthday next week.

Other than the coach bag, Lynette got her a hand-made card with our photos there. U know jus in case things dun turn out well, i offered an alternative plan - to buy a card instead. Hahaha... i'm someone who has no talent in my art & craft. Afterall, annie likes the card that she made. It's the thoughts that count and made the card beautiful.

Took lots and lots of pictures.... to be uploaded soon!

Ed's Wedding

2007-03-11T13:44:00.000-07:00

Here's the pictures that we took on Pauline's farewell meal. Hope everything is smooth for her in Perth.

Annie was saying that the pic was very nice. BUT... she was using the phone while taking the pic. I wanted to develop nicer pic. The case is i brought my camera that day and the battery went flat after taking this photo. I forgot to charge!!!

And we were supposed to have 20% discount over at the soup restaurant in DFS. I didnt know about that till they proceeded with the payment. So Eileen was saying that we can have 20 % discount coz we are working at Royal Plaza. The stupid cheena girl said that it's too late. Who do u mean by too late??? Transaction can be void wat!!! She said that it's their policy there that transaction cannot be void. What kinda rubbish is that??? Pissed!!!!!!!!

Switch the mood to some joyous- Edwin's Wedding

Ed's wedding was held last wed at Swissotel Stamford. I keep saying that it's westin though it have changed its name. Westin sounds so much nicer. Personal Preference!

I brought all my barang barang to my workplace. It's so damn heavy. Though of driving but the previous day i ask Annie about the parking fee in the hotel. She told me " parking is $3 per hour" My goodness!!! If i work for 8 hours, my parking for the day is $24. And she claimed that this rate is one of the cheapest in orchard area. Forget it... i guess take a cab is even cheaper. So in the end, i didnt drive. I left my stuffs in the office and went to the hotel with Sherin.

@ The reception

We were the receptionists for that day. Pretty fun doing that... gotta =D a lot a lot. Side track for a while... that day i was going to school. As usual, i got a cab from the hotel lobby and headed down to school. The cabbie started a conversation with me, asking me am i going to sch... blah blah blah... And he asked me " So where do u work?"

Me: The hotel that you pick me from

Cabbie: Oh that hotel... work as what? Receptionist?

Me: -_-" I'm the HR exec in the hotel.

Sometimes i wonder.... hahahaha.... what's the point of studying so much when pple see u as a receptionist??? Certainly i know the benefits of studying.... I will complete it yeah?

OKie dokie... back to Ed's wedding. Sherin and me werent allocated to sit with Kwok. Poor thing he was all alone and i guess that's the reason why he decided to stay in the hotel room and miss the dinner.

After everything, Kwok was nice enough to send me back to hotel to get my stuffs and send us back respectively. Thanks Kwok!!!

And lastly..... We love posing with Ed's Wedding Bears!!~~~

Sorry for the lack of posts as i was really busy. From work to school to assignment to project... 1 week 7 days aren't enough for me at all. Barely have the time to go out for a movie or chill out at holland V with Sherin. That supposed to be my weekly activity! Let me start with last Saturday... Went over to my Cousin's place at Tanah Merah. After marriage, they got themselves a condo and it was our 1st time visiting. No extravagant furnitures but Small and cosy place i would say. Good enough... it contains the elements of what home should be like especially they have this leisure room. I simply love it. Next time, i will like to have a room like that next time.... to relax after work with my future partner. * grinz*

It's the 7th day of New Year which I was told that it's called Ren ri. A day whereby everyone grow one year older... hence, all eating outlets were all full. My family and aunt's family wanna go to jumbo at East coast to eat. To avoid the crowd and long queue, my cousin called to book reservation. Guess what.... they dun entertain pple who called in for reservation and gonna make a trip down. So dumb! No choice but my aunt trusted the quality of food that jumbo could provide us, we ended waiting for around 45 mins to have our meal. Mm.... they made lots of mistakes like serving us the small portion when we ordered the big one, gave us the kang kong which tastes yucky and requested to change another plate of Kang kong. When my uncle was telling the waitress about the veg, she was like " so what you wan me to do now?" Obviously change a new one for us. She replied " but u pple ate before already." u get my point? We have to eat before even being able to tell you what went wrong with the dish. Jus by seeing how could i able to know the taste?

-_-"

But afterall, the dinner was pretty okie excluding those forgivable mistakes and attitudes given. I could understand when the restaurant was full house, things will get a little messy.

And...some days last week, u can never see the gold stripes of hairs of Rachel as.... i have dyed them all back to dark brown. Time for a change... wanna be the goody two shoes rachel again. I used to have tanned skin tone and i tot the tanned skin and highlighted blonde hair would look nice. As the time goes by, i play lesser and lesser of tennis, there goes my tanned skin. Perhaps when my tanned skin is back, there's when my blonde highlighted hair will be back.

And of coz... i have been saying that my dear colleague is flying off to Perth. Last sat, she left. Everyone went to airport to send her off but i have to do my project, unable to make time for it. Not that my project is more important but the deadline is nearing. My group has not get moving for the entire project. But i did make an effort to go down to the hotel to pass to Annie a gift for Pauline. It's a simple yet meaningful gift. A picture of me, Eileen ( My Asst Manager), Annie, Jill, Vera and of coz the main character Pauline herself taken at the soup restaurant the previous day.

I will be attending Ed's wedding today at Swissotel Stamford. Most prob there will be more photos but..... pray hard... connection is fine for me to load them and blog!

Random Post of pictures with My Cousin and Sherin.

CNY- Ang POWssss

2007-02-22T14:57:00.000-08:00

Though it was 4 days Hols, I didnt manage to rest well at all. I was busy like a bee or perhaps more than a bee. Tired like a .... In short, I need more holidays! I didnt took any leave coz i got no leave at all. I'm still under probation jus in case you guys have forgotten that i jus joined the hotel in last december.

Geez....

1st of all, let's start off with my last min shopping. The day before new year eve, I was desperate to shop for my new year clothes. Not tat i didnt shop for new year clothes whereby i'm jus working opp far east plaza... I almost go there everyday after lunch. It's jus that I dun look good in whatever i tried. Accepting the fact that some girls look nice in whatever they wear, jus a simple tee, they can look as nice. Of coz i dun belong to this catergory esp when i have so much excess fats to shed away. More input than output.... that's always the case.

Hanging out at orchard area after work and decided to give up of the idea of getting some tops. None of them seems nice coz i looked kinda"meaty". I admit that i am. I went to holland V and met my beloved Sherin. On the way there, the bus was packed. There was this lady sitting down occupying 2 seats. 1 for herself and 1 for her stuffs. I dun really care that much and jus felt that she was really inconsiderate. But then, there's a pregnant lady standing beside me. Looks like 6 months kind whereby her tummy was very very big. That idiotic lady pretended that she did not see and after 2 bus-stops, i cannot stand it and tapped on her shoulders to ask if those stuffs on the seat belongs to her. I requested her to put her stuffs away for the pregnant lady to sit. And she stared at me and said " i got too many things. Where to put them?" " You can simply put them on the floor if you want to." I know she was unhappy with me but please please please be more considerate... I dun find them giving up the seat will actually cause any pain in you. Duh!

Hey... did i mention that she bakes pineapple tarts for me every year? Without fail, she gave me a bottle of pineapple tarts as well. Went for bbq Stingray for dinner...

Surprisingly, i managed to get an old navy skirt and a topshop denim skirt at last at FOS. It saved my trip to town to grab for clothes on new year eve.

New year Eve

I had yet to pack my room. My room was really in a mess. My books were all over the place. It simply shows how studious Rachel can be. Imagine the Rachel with the bookworm spec, digging into books in a quiet corner of the library with stacks and stacks of books around. * Grinz* Anyway, i dun wear specs, rachel being in a bookworm specs is out. Rachel dun like to read at all, so digging into stacks and stacks of books is out too. For most impt, Rachel never hang out at library. I'm jus being untidy, putting my books around in my room. Some books belong to previous semester, while the rest... are all the current modules that i'm taking. They are still nicely packed in the boxes that were given by SIM. Exactly what was given... they remain what they are. I started my modules already... yet you see my stuffs are still in the box unopened. You will know how hardworking.

Of coz before packing my room, i need to complete an online quiz. Damnnit!!! It's due on Sunday which was the 1st day of New Year. Nice Job unisim.... still wan us to study during offical holidays. It took me an hour to finish my quiz coz i never really read thru the books and notes given. Read them as i was doing the quiz and i did statistics during my A levels. I seems to have return my statistics knowledge back to Miss Chong.

One thing good about online quiz, you can compare answers. Samuel and i were like doing together and discussing comparing answers. So in the end, we got the same answer and submitted. And Samuel being Kiasu, he compared answer with the other classmate of ours, Kelly. I bet everyone did the same thing.

Brother saw me getting some new and cheap stuffs from FOS and wanted to grab some last min shopping there as well. I accompanied him to buy... Guys are easy. They can get some nice tees , go with jeans and they look good. Simple and nice.

By the time we reached home, we only left with a hour or so to pack our room before we set off for our reunion dinner.

Reunion dinner at Prima Revolving Restaurant

It's a disappointment one. The only good thing about it is the free parking and the view you get to see form the restaurant. The moment we were at the entrance, it was crowded. I think they should have some usher to guide the guests in and maintain the order there, taking turns to get into the lift rather than pushing one another. The very very ugly side of Singaporean!!!!!!!Everyone squeezed their way to the lift and up to the restaurant. The food wasnt too good as well. Spend $1k plus there for something that wasnt satisfying at all. We will try a new place for reunion dinner next year.

New Year

Went for visiting from House to house... And of coz there were always times when everyone came over to my place for dinner and gamble. I went for KTV on the 2nd day of new year. Brother drank a lot and i was asked to drive. Cant help being gan cheong when my brother is beside me. Pressure is there... SCARE!!!!

Well, Sing until 3am ... damn shag already man. Jus when i was about to go out, i saw a familiar face. He recognised me BUT, i jus cant recall who he is. I know somewhere... but my memory was failing on me again. So i told him " u look very very familiar but i forgot who you are."HE said we are in the same class previous sem. Oh ya .... business law classmate. U can imagine... he is my classmate not lecture mate and i cant remember at all. Well.... * Shrugs* what to do...

Back to work

I wish for a longer hols. My mood for holiday is here again. My habit of sourcing out for cheap deals for holiday re-surfaces. Last trip was the genting trip in last oct. It's been 4 months already... and i need a break to recharge myself to the on-going rachel at work. So hols anyone??? Let's go shanghai!!!

And one more thing... I will load those pics taken soon. Sorry for the long entry with NO pics. I have too many things to share and vent. ^-^

An outing with the big family of Royal Plaza

We set off to the Tiger Brewery at 6pm after work. Half of the crowd had gone there before. Hence, the tour in the brewery on explaining how the beer is being made and packed as well as the history of tiger brewery, only half of us attended. The rest of them proceeded straight to the drinking place and have the free flow of beer.

I guess that's the most interesting part of the whole trip is to drink!!! Everyone drank a lot.... especially those aunties. They really can drink!!!!!!! I'm such a lousy drinker as compared. We got so high after drinking, singing and some even dancing over there. Erm.... and dirty dance... I guess everyone enjoyed though i heard that the previous trip was even nicer as the crowd was bigger. What's more important is that the 30 of us who were there thoroughly enjoyed!

Oh Man.. I looked RED

Colleagues!!

The KTV Session

And here we go.... the DRINKING COMPETITION

Annie, Me and my Asst HR Manager, eileen

Us again!!!

Happy moments.... of coz there are sad times as well. One of my colleagues, Pauline, is leaving for Perth soon. She gonna work there and settle down. I may be working in this hotel for just 2 months plus, i really appreciate the days with her around. She can be a little fierce if you dunno her. She actually jus pulling your legs to see your reaction. She has been really helpful, try to help us out when we enocuntered problems. I guess i gonna miss her. I hate the feeling of parting with people... it emerges the unwillingness for the person to go but on the other hand, you simply know that she is leaving for good. Yucks!

That's pauline....

And i guess i'm gonna miss her.

2007-02-11T09:34:00.000-08:00

Last thurs when i came back from school, my parents told me that " Ah ma was admitted to hospital." My grandma had fallen down and admitted into the hospital. On the very day, my parents went over to visit her and she was still pretty okie jus that she has really big "blue-black" on her hands due to the fall.

I was out with Kong Yi yesterday. Too bad, he has an Indian wedding to attend in the night so i headed home in the evening. My family was about to go for dinner and visit my grandma in the hospital when i reached home. I joined them.

I saw my grandma..... She looked weak. She mumbled when she tried talking to us. 99% of what she said, i couldn't understand. Frenz who know me, should know that i'm really poor in my dialect. I cant speak any other than English and Chinese. I saw my mum was holding on to my grandma.... but..... she seemed to be only moving her right hand. and her left hand ... she said it was so heavy.

I went over to ask the nurse what exactly happened to my grandma. She suffered from Stroke... Left side of her body will not be able to move. She's old... in her end 80's. by the side of the bed, I feel really sad about it...

Guess most prob she gonna spend her Chinese New Year in NUH.

2007-02-10T11:33:00.000-08:00

Went for some shopping yesterday. Pocket injury..... it's more than that. I shall brand it as bank injury. Decided to try a new brand of cosmetic- Sephora. I guess it's an upcoming brand from Italy that it tries to bring in to Singapore market. The Sephora's poster was placed at the window panel of DFS and i think DFS is the only place that sell this brand as well. If you happen to passby, go in and take a look at their cosmetic counter. The variety of things that they have, it's comparable with MAC. What's more when the price is slightly cheaper than MAC, it's extremely affordable!!!

Got 2 tops, 1 shorts, 2 lancome Mascara, 1 Sephora compact powder, blusher and Cosmetic bag. In addition, i went to trim my hair again. Hahaha.... to start off a new chinese year, bringing on good luck.

I cant wait for pay day to come....

Valentine's Day is coming. I was reading the newspaper yesterday on the Life section of the online dating and the agency. They have some single and available people being screened on the papers. One of them was even a pilot and was quite charming. How could that be possible??? Pilot... Quite nice looking and no dating partner. So my colleague and me started to discuss.

She said: Not as nice as you said, normal looking la.

Rachel: Quite nice what, jus a little mature for us.

She said: Oh pilots, Pilots are flirty

Rachel: I dunno... my uncle is a pilot too. he seems pretty okie. I have a fren who is a pilot as well...for him, i'm not too sure.

Pilots... Are they really flirty? Applying to commerical airline pilots and the airforce pilots that we have? In my opinion, perhaps for the commercial airline pilots as they are able to know air stewardess. Mm... or maybe the airforce pilot can be flirty as well when they are earning a lot. Sigh.... pilots... i always wanna be a pilot since young. I wish to fly a plane... I wish to be in the big blue sky... It's jus my ambition. An ambition that will not come true...

Perhaps that's a good thing.... coz in that case, it proved that i'm not flirty. Boo....

My First Time

2007-02-09T09:56:00.000-08:00

My first time...

It sounds like i'm writing a secondary school composition with the title " My 1st time" . I still remember i wrote in a compo about the first time declaring love. Well, it was all crap written and yet that compo let me published into some composition reference book. That was long long time ago.

What i wanna say about my first time was driving my swift out alone. I drove to pick Sherin from her place and went to Liquid kitchen at bt timah there for a drink. Driving out alone without mastering how to park a car... The moment i moved off, Yucks.... i forgot to put on my P-plate. Drove all the way to Sherin's place and put my "beloved" triangle plate on. Before that, it was the hardest time that i could ever have. Parking.... luckily Sherin's place had many empty slots that i reverse the car so as to park, i ended up in between 2 parking slots.

1st of all, i admit i'm lousy and need more practice. Secondly, Sherin's place was kinda dark that i cant see the markings of the parking slot. Seems more like an excuse!!! Hahaha ... okie, i'm lousy. Tried to do some practices at her carpark that totally freak her out . She tot how bad can i be in parking when i could even pass my TP. And she was wrong.... n finally realised that she was wrong.... when she got a big fright in my parking skill. No worries when i reach bt timah, parking was smooth but a little slow. Got mocked by a mercs... cant they see my luminous triangle. Be a little more patient!

LIquid Kitchen

Agnes came and joined us after that, telling us her breakup with her ex. It was an unexpected one. Things jus seem to be unpredictable. It feels good when nice things happen but unfortunate events will jus make a person feel unprepared and break down. Everyone wants to lead a better life including myself. However, how many pple are able to lead a smooth-going life? Everyone will get to encounter ups and downs in a matter of time as well as the severity.

Shall stop the topic before it goes sadder and sadder.

I should cherish the nice pple around me. It takes time but I will learn to do so.

Met up Kongyi the other day. Boo… he was stunned by the kinda luck I have. We were jus playing card games and I won like 90%. Nothing much jus sat down to chat and chill out.

Kong Yi and me

And of coz my first Statistics lesson yesterday. It was boring and i didnt know that i'm supposed to bring my notebook along. Most of them didnt know as well. So we could simply have like 6 to 7 pple sharing a laptop. The classmates dun seems to interact with each other and i only got to know 1 lady there. At least better than being a lone ranger. That's the thing about a brand new semester. You really have to get to intro yourself all over again, making new frenz but this kinda of frenz ship will only last for a sem. After that, it will be degraded to " Hi-Bye" frenz. The school did make an effort to bring us closer by having group project. Mmm.... my class got many uncles. = (

Some outdated photos taken like 1 or 2 weeks ago.

2007-02-03T00:24:00.000-08:00

Been busy doing some report for month end. I need to search some stuffs which are from May 2006 from Accounts department. U know though i'm there for 2 months but i'm still pretty new and there's still tons of things that i do not know how to go about it.

Mmm..... Hence i went over and tried to dig out some documents but i need to search from those stacks of papers. So my asst financial controller came out and saw that he helped me out. Making me feel so "paiseh" about it. He even asked the other lady why she did not help me out and reprimanded her. I mean it's really fine for me to look for it myself. The lady was telling me in some kinda joking manner that " my face is really big enough" for asst financial controller to help me out.

I feel so bad!

I dun expect such things to happen.

Oh ya... i met Gideon the other day for drink. He gave me the impression of man of a few words and that day, that impression was gone. Was damn funny.... i think he does not have the habit to put on his seat belt while driving. On the way back, he saw TP at the back and quickly put on his seat belt.

Voom.... the bike passed his car...

Hahaha.... It was jus a bike which happened to be white colour and kinda big, looked like TP. He was like got cheated kinda reaction. Well,

lesson learned: Put on seat belt so that even see TP... No Panic.... ^-^

Start of school again

2007-02-02T15:52:00.000-08:00

I'm back to school again. It's part time studies... but still.... i feel like jus any other school year last time. I dread going to school. 1st day of school, I'm supposed to leave my office on the dot at 6pm but there were things to clear. I only managed to go off half an hour later. Too late to take a bus to sch, gotta rush down by cab. Orh! Pocket injury... If this happens every time i go school, i will be damn broke man.

Slow traffic but still managed to reach there quite early. Jus nice Samuel was there at that time as well... and we went for dinner together. Being grateful to me for printing notes, he treated me dinner. Okie fair enough.... Hahaha....

Economics... for this mod. Get to see some familiar faces at the lecture... but i think none of them are in my tutorial class. Samuel and i were screening on the new faces we have for this sem. And there he goes " got auntie leh"

What's wrong with auntie studying??? I replied " got uncle also wat... big deal"

And he goes again " This module got many girls." And i replied " Good for u but bad for me. No cute guys"

I mean it's true.... Hahaha.... well and he said " perhaps i sit too near that u cant see any!"

*Grinz* * Shrugs*

2007-01-30T22:19:00.000-08:00

Saturday....

Had a long day.... went to work in the morning and met Sherin after that for Xiao long bao @ crystal Jade. To be honest, i'm a little tired after the lunch. Sherin wasnt meeting her bf that day and wanted to go out. I work in town area.... and asking me to go back there again in the afternoon for shopping, i will definitely give u that "argh" expression. I wanted somewhere near and we ended up at Causeway point.

Walked around but nothing much to buy for New Year clothes instead, i got my blazer for work again. U see G 2000 was having sale n prices slashed down by a lot. What a waste if i dun buy right? Well, nothing to buy and there goes sherin's yakking.... " i told u... we should have gone to town area. There are more things to see and buy. Somemore, many shops are having sales!" She's right...but my laziness has overpowered everything.

Did i mention that Sherin always bake pineapple tarts for me every new year? After causeway point, we went to Jurong East to get the ingredients for the pineapple tarts. I'm gonna have pineapple tarts to eat soon....

Sunday

Practice parking Day... I drove my dad n mum for lunch. Erm... it's jus somewhere near my place and after that.... i spent the entire 2 hours for me to learn parking and still..... it's not progressing much. When can i park perfectly that i could drive the car out myself... If i cant master parking, even i know how to drive... it serves no purpose coz i cant park my car.

=(

Weekend jus passed so quickly and dragging myself to work. Getting to feel the stress on work... No idea why i keep making some careless mistakes here and there. WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!

I need to wake up....

2007-01-27T06:54:00.000-08:00

The arrival of pictures... Uploading pictures isnt an easy thingy for me.

Took it on last day of 2006. When my family went to habourfront for Tim Sum,

That's all... lazy to write more ....

I'm an official driver on the road!

2007-01-26T21:53:00.000-08:00

My driving instructor told me last monday...

" The last time u drove was in July 2006 and ur test is on this thurs. U jus book for 2 practice lessons and u expect to pass?"

I was like " Ya"... i was hoping but not expecting coz i know my chances of passing are real slim esp i was damn rusty in driving. I forgot how to do my parking, where the turning points are, 1st gear half clutch, Crank course..... full of mistakes for the practice session. I was thinking most prob gonna fail this time round...

And I did my last practice jus the day before my driving test. Everything seems okie but who knows i will screw up my test on the very day. Fine...

25 January 2007

I woke up in the morning and got myself prepared to get to the driving centre. I booked the 2nd slot which was like 8:25 hrs for the warm up session and 09:15hrs for the TP test. I left my house at 08:00hrs and get a little yucky... coz... i waited until 08:10hrs .... the bus was still not here yet. I only left with 15 mins to get there. It would be definitely fine for other time of the day as u know traffic in the morning is kinda unpredictable. U will never know if it's gonna be congested and most imptly, everyone are rushing to work. NO TAXIS available!!!!

I was thinking of calling my brother. The though that he will "Yak" at me....it jus shiver down my spines. Finally, the bus came and i managed to reach there jus on the dot. Reported at the counter for my warming up with one of the instructor. Still some minor mistakes in the warming up session whereby blind spot... speed control... turning points and PARKING. Out of a sudden i forgot which direction to turn and i turn the steering wheel to the opposite direction that totally freak the instructor out. Well, i'm sorry. I'm jus suffering from short term memory.

The instructor led me to the waiting room and reminded me on my mistakes as well as the common mistakes. He commented i should drive a little faster. I "engraved" that piece of advice in my heart. I was always told during my practice that i drove too fast. Hence, i decided to drive slow. And when i slow down my speed, they asked me to drive faster. (-_-")

Drawing lots for the test route.... i got a route that is not too difficult. Considering the fact that there was not many cars on the road at that time... no major mistakes made in the circuit... The tester criticised me until i'm not fit to be a driver on the road.

And there he goes.... He passed me with 14 demerit points.

I got my driving licence. It's a long long queue jus to apply for my licence. I waited more than an hour in the queue. Not as in many pple have passed their driving test, those pple who pass their basic theory test were queueing up for the application of PDL. U can expect it jus simply took me how long esp when there was an indian lady, she had some enquiries on her licence in India. Well, she could have called and ask instead of coming down to jam up the whole queue. Everyone was like " argh" and when she intended to walk away, it jus gave me the feeling of... " finally finished". Guess what... she turned to the counter AGAIN and ask questions. 3 times.... i counted... she did that for 3 times... How irritating!

Mm.... Yet to get my photo-licence... as it takes 2 to 4 weeks to send over. Hence, my temp licence is jus a slip of paper. *Grinz*

I bought my P-plate and asked my dad to accompany for a spin in my black humble swift. To be honest, I'm a little scare.... especially slope.... and parking without poles. Let me get the hang of it and i shall drive my frenz around.

Zoom Zoom.... wait for me hur...!!!!

2007-01-23T06:18:00.000-08:00

my blog has become "picture-less". Someone tell me why i keep having problem loading my pictures.

Everyone seems so happening except me and Sherin. We went to Gelare @ holland V last friday for our ice cream. Boredom has simply killed us. Chit chat, Taking pictures, Chit chat, take pictures..... it went on and on - I would love to share but the connection dun allow me to do so. Saturday was a working day for me but it's just half day. I swear it's more tiring to pack my messy office than playing tennis. It jus simply shag me out and the packing has not finished. *Shakes Head* Gotta clear my office by this week. How could that be possible when u need to work and pack the office at the same time?

No dates for that day.... hence, went over to my aunt's place for dinner. My nephew has become so vocal now. He talks a lot.... talks about everything under the sun.... talks about everything that he sees... he does.... he hears. Cute little boy. He's only 2 or 3 years old. His small little action amuse everyone there. I wanna have a kid like tat too!!! I mean next time...

Another week passed. It means that it's nearing to school reopen. After such a long holiday and the struggling exams, i guess i will work harder for this sem. I hate the feelings of worrying about how my results will turn out to be like. One more week to go and u can hear me complaining about rushing out my essays/ assignment. My class list is out. How lucky.... me and samuel chose 3 same modules and turned out none to be in the same class. So what we do.... i requested for a transfer of class, still pending for approval. He has been my study peer for the previous sem. We dun exactly form study group or discuss about our assignments due to our busy schedule , but certainly that revision together on the very day of examination did help a lot. U know exchanging notes to read... tips to each other... Moreover, he is so called the "closest" fren i have there. What can u expect much from part time studies? Everyone are kinda like Hi-Bye frenz. It's hard to develop the kinda frenship that you are able to have during the old school days. What to do... that's life! Anyway, quite curious on who my new classmates are and how they are like. I shall see next week.

I love mummy!

2007-01-18T09:28:00.000-08:00

I'm those very typical kinda mummy's girl. I'm getting to love my mummy more and more each day. Sound so mushy!!!

This was what my mum told me the other day:

I'm going to get a coach wristlet for you, myself and your aunt.

Hahaha... mummy's gonna get me a coach wristlet. My goodness!!! She's so nice to me!!! She said She get it for me as my birthday present but the case is.... my birthday just pass in last october.

I got my Elle bag previously for my work. I thought it would be big enough to put my books and those stuffs for work. Who knows it's way too small. I was thinking of getting the bigger version of the same design. And....

*Bling bling*

My mum got it for me yesterday when she went for shopping with my aunts. She even got for me a skirt for my office wear coz she knows that i'm trying to get more executive wear.

For all the things she has done for me, i jus simply cant stop myself from loving my mummy more.

Thanks Mummy!!!

Working hard

2007-01-12T17:45:00.000-08:00

Hotel is reopening next week. There are jus tons of things to be done that i dunno where to start from. I'm kinda tired. *yawn* Saturday, yet i'm still in office. Anyway, i'm supposed to work on sat. But tmr is sunday. I still gotta go back to hotel for a workshop.

I tot rainy days were gone. Yesterday, it was raining so heavily. I finally managed to finish my wrk and left office at 6.15pm. I made my way through the heavy rain to the bus-stop. I wait for the bus to come. My goodness... a couple of buses came and were fully packed.

1st bus --- Full

2nd bus--- Full

...

...

...

Only the 7th bus .. i managed to get it.

How frustrating!!! Raining heavily and cant get a bus home... no cab available!!! What add on to the frustration was those SJI guys . They were pushing and creating a scene there. Didnt their school teach them that when they are in sch uniform, they gotta behave themselves? Pple dun recognise them in person but by their school.

Today, my hotel was having this taxi campaign and i was there to help out. The main purpose for it is to create identification, differentiating us from the rest of the hotel. All of us were situated outside of the hotel lobby to give free chicken rice, a bottle of water and the headrest cover. It's nice to see everyone putting in effort to make the entire programme a success. EXCEPT that marcom manager... she only know how to talk, instruct and did nothing there. Pull a long face... eeee... who she think she is. Only those really junior staffs will follow whatever she say. orh!!!

Anyway, really busy busy busy this week. Hope when hotel reopen next week, i will have more time to breathe. And of coz got the time to go out... more time to blog.... more time to take new pics.

I need 36 hours per day!

2007-01-10T17:35:00.000-08:00

New Year resolutions:

1) I will work harder for my studies
2) I will get slimmer ( shed away my excess please… I dun wanna repeat it year after year)
3) I will try hard to save more $$$
4) I wanna travel to Shanghai/ Taiwan/ Korea / other countries
5) Be a happier person
6) Learn how to cook
7) Exercise more -Play tennis regularly

I guess there are more to come jus that i cant think of it now.

I'm Back!

2007-01-05T17:56:00.000-08:00

I'm so sorry for not blogging for so long. If u r thinking that i have abandoned this blog, you are wrong. It's blogger that failed on me. Connection is really lousy. I got no idea why. Anyone can help me out with that?

Anyway, I have gotten my results. =) I cleared this semester. Initially, i was kinda worried coz out of 7 questions for the exam, I'm supposed to do 5 essays. I took too long to "adapt" to the examination mood and plan for my essays. I did 3 essays out of the entire paper. This happened for the both papers that i took last sem. I'm pretty dumb actually. I recieved a big big envelope from school, asking me to make payment for my next sem jus the day before the result was officially released on the sutdent portal. The result slip was inside and i did open it on that very day i received, yet it took me days to discover that piece of paper.

Getting dumb these days!!!

Back for some updates:

Damn busy at work these days... It's a big contrast as compared to the previous job. I can go on msn and chat all day long but now i dun even have the time to do so. Busy running here and there... Though busy, i gotta admit it's really a good learning ground.

Met Sherin at Toa Payoh one of the friday(most prob is 2 weeks back). I didnt go there much and that place seems pretty new to me. I coud have jolly well stayed in town to shop around instead of going to Toa Payoh since i'm already working in town. Especially when town has tons of things to see.... U see.... i was being assigned by my boss to go and view a room in Toa Payoh for a colleague of mine who will be arriving Singapore on 1st Jan. Now u see... HR is not easy to be. Still gotta source accommodation and viewing of room.

Room was okie... location was okie as well but certainly i dun find it worth paying 450 bucks jus for that room. What to do... the landlord refused to lower the rent. Dun reduce den dun reduce. No point dragging the entire session for 1 hour jus to listen to the crap, made me reach home ard 11pm. What a long day!!!

On New year eve.... I wanna go expo for the mambo jumbo party. Called Agnes and Sherin to go... but Agnes has her own plan and asked if we wanna join her at double O while Sherin was kinda against going to expo coz it's really far. Blame it on me... how come i flung my driving test that time. If not, distance will never be a prob. Been looking out for places to go. realised that many planned to go to St James. Where did we end up at on our NYE???

We headed down to orchard to do some shopping and back to where we belong- Holland V. Everyone was with a group of frenz to get together. Only me and Sherin. We seemed so unhappening. Told sherin to go to expo but she jus went on Yak yak yak. By the time she regretted, too late to head down. Bleh!!!! So jus chill out up essential brews to self entertain ourselves with PICTURES.

RiNG RING... Sherin's hp rang. It's Kenneth (Sherin's bf) Surprise! He was at holland V with a group of frenz as well. So sherin invited him and his frenz over to join us but they wanna have their meal over at the coffeeshop. Some how and some what... becoz of this small little issue, they quarrelled. What a way to start off 2007!!! hope everything will be fine for them.

Supposed to pick the filipino from airport but... my boss message me that she will do it herself. Hence, i went on with my initial plan -Family day. My family headed down to JB at around 11 plus. Slight congestion at the woodlands checkpoint... certainly, it didnt dampen our mood for an enjoyable day. Clearing the custom, dad drove us to skulai ( if i didnt get the place wrongly) for duck rice. Surprisingly, tons of Singapore cars are there too. It's kinda ulu. Duck rice was nice and cheap. Please dun ask me where... i got no talent in recognising malaysia road. I'm better with Singapore roads. Next, went to jusco to do some shopping. Didnt get much things there. Sigh… I tot I could get some cheap deals there. Time for dinner… dad had already planned to bring us to some ulufied place again. This time, he brought us for seafood at fishing village. This fishing village is even more ulu than the one we went in the afternoon. Way back home… Jam Jam Jam… jam all the way. Kinda expected so no point complaining. Geez… sorry, I will upload some pics soon.

Message: joan, I promise to blog more.

Exam Results

2006-12-28T21:25:00.000-08:00

oh dear... I'm worried... i jus cant sit still. I keep thinking about my exam. I wonder when was the last time i experience major result release. Yucks, I hate that kinda feeling. The usual thing that dad and mum will say:

If u have been well-prepared, why scare of the result?

The case is yes i did study, but i didnt get to finish. When i say not finished, it's not that 1 or 2 marks that i bother. It's a entire 20 marks essay. I feel so shitty. Not for 1 paper but 2 papers having the same situation. I have a bad feeling. Not that i'm being negative.... argh...

Wish me good luck okie? Pray hard for me frenz..... wish me good luck. I shall utilise one of my xmas wish on passing my exam.

"May my wish comes true."

Ed is getting MARRIED

2006-12-26T13:34:00.000-08:00

If u have been reading my blog, u will know about the earth shocking news that I mentioned months ago. Refer to the post on 1st October. A brief description for u… Edwin has a girlfriend which is 7 years younger than him. Edwin is 26 this year which means his gf ( do some simple calculation 26-7= 19) Yes… 19 years old only.

And what I heard from him yesterday… I think Edwin must have heard from Kwok that I’m back into hotel line. That’s why he asks me if I’m still working at Alexandra. Well, he is sourcing out for some hotel for their wedding. Yes…. U didn’t see wrongly and I didn’t type wrongly.

They are getting married!

I was really shocked. I didn’t believe it at first coz I have this experience of Ed doing some stupid thingy saying that he is dead… when he was msning me. He claimed that it’s the dad who msn n told me that Ed was dead. Come on… after this, I dunno what are the things to believe. And he confirm and double confirm with me that this time round about getting married is real. Oh man…

I still cant recover frm the shock. Mmm...Nothing to say but Congratulation.

Merry X'mas

2006-12-25T21:42:00.000-08:00

Merry Xmas to all my frenz... ( to those who i always meet, those who i seldom meet, my ex-colleagues and lotz lotz more) May all ur wishes come true and a better upcoming 2007 awaiting for us.

Xmas eve

Mum was busy preparing for the feast at night. I help nothing but to make the most impt contribution by eating when the food was ready. Afterall, food has to be eaten and only when pple love eating the food that u cook, u can feel the appreciation of ur cooking. Right? Dun say that i didnt make any contribution... I help to order the log cake but paid by sherin. Hahaha... My brother and I went to pick Sherin up and at the same time collect the cake - Cake avenue at Bukit Timah. The cake there used to be reall nice... dunno if the standard has dropped. The log cake tasted okie only... but of coz better than the normal log cake that u can find in the bakery. Headed back home to slack, checking out of places to go after the feast.

Brother suggested on going for a movie - Deathnote 2 but i was thinking of KTV. Jeremy message me asking me to go MOS to club. inda tempted to go but the thought of the crowd and the time i need to spend on queueing up.... it jus turned me off. Even though Jeremy was saying that he could always go down there to get the tickets first. Nah decided on ktv instead coz Sherin didnt go to Ktv much so kinda a good chance to bring her there since she is those really ang moh kind. ( Frenz out there, see u pple keep saying how ang moh i am. At least i always go Ktv and sing chinese songs. Certainly i can speak chinese too.) That was certainly a wrong move. should have heeded my brother's suggestion on going for movie. Coz in the end only me, my brother, Sherin and Kelvin went for KTV. Others didnt join us. Sherin dunno much chinese songs and Kelvin dun really sing. Can u imagine the entire 4 hours only me n my brother singing.... Sigh... wat's more when the session only started at 12am and last till 4am. Kelvin was dropped dead there, sleeping away and Sherin was kind half dead as well. I think the best time to sing KTV is still in the day time whereby u are full of energy and of coz that's the time u can sing better hitting the right tune and melody of the songs.

By the time we finished our ktv session, there's still quite a number of pple on the road. Pple heading back home, pple drunk, pple vomitting away... u name it u can see it. On the way to the carpark, Sherin slipped and fell. My goodness.... She didnt notice the pool of "vomit" in front of her and stepped right into it, resulting the fall. Mind u... she is wearing her new shoes yesterday... though she complained to me that the friction wasnt too good. The shoes seems kinda slippery. Poor girl... luckily only some scratches with minimal bleeding. I guess she wont be wearing that pair of shoes again after such a bad experience.

Sent Kelvin and Sherin back home... i lay my foot at home almost 5am. What a tired day... I hope for a better 2007 and a better xmas next yr.

2006-12-23T02:26:00.000-08:00

So happy... receive a few gifts from my colleagues. Bearly know them much yet they gave me xmas present. Feel so bad for not buying for them coz i didnt expect it. I'm supposed to write some xmas cards and send them out jus like every other year. However, i'm too busy at work that i found myself no time to do so. Wasted those cards that i've bought.

Sorry frenz... No cards this year. ( Except from Sherin... I got ur card ready!) I'm holding a xmas feast at my place tmr. Not inviting others except Sherin...Agnes supposed to join us but too bad, she is flying to Phuket on xmas eve. So nice, i wish i could go for hols too. I guess not that i dun wana invite others, but i guess most of my frenz have their the other half to celebrate with them and certainly they prefer to go to somewhere more rowdy to experience the season atmosphere rather than a homely girl like me. Hahaha... the 5th year celbrating with Sherin. Not that she doesn't have a bf to celebrate with. Mind u... she's attached. She is nice enough to celebrate with me. That's all!

Busy Busy.... but i jus feel so lazy. I have to clean up my room so as to make it presentable enough to invite the guests for tmr. Gosh man... it's jus half way thru and i gave up. Perhaps continue later... Not forgetting going to supermarket to help up my beloved mum for the necessities for tmr. Shld have some pics of tmr xmas feast to share. Stay Tuned!

*Muackz*

I love Macdonald Party!

2006-12-20T20:01:00.000-08:00

It had been a busy week for me. Though busy, time seems to be crawling like tortoise. Maybe snail will be a better description. I suppose snail crawls slower than tortoise???!!!! I have been running around here and there, learning new stuffs, attending orientation, workshop and talk. U can imagine how busy... Nothing interesting happen this week. Me and Sean went for Ice cream at clementi Arcade which is located at Sunset way there. Sherin joined us too. The ice cream is kinda nice... recommended!!! Home-made ice cream!!! Andi got no idea that i have said something to Sean that he got really upset with me. Mm... dunno what to say about it...

Let it be... And there i have a fun birthday party today. Dun laugh... the venue of the birthday party of Samuel is at

.....

.....

.....

KING ALBERT PARK MACDONALD

Yes... u didnt see it wrongly... it's KAP macdonald. Samuel is 24 years old this year. Hahaha... to be honest, it is rather a nice party. Luckily sherin is there with me coz i didnt know anyone there. Samuel only invites me... and no other classmates. Is about a group of 20 pple who attended the party. The macdonald host get all the adults to sit on the tiny winy chairs, eating happy meals at the extremely low tables. Once in a life time experience... bringing back the memory of the primary school days and my 8 years old birthday which was also celebrated at Serene Centre Macdonald.

We got to play "blow wind blow" i know it's a kiddy and simple game. I guess everyone enjoy... i admit i did too. Though simple game, i actually lost. I failed to get a seat when i was the one who is leading the blow. 3 times.. and i got a penalty to dance the chicken dance. What to do... of coz i drag my bestie along as my chicky dance partner. What is better when Samuel has invited some cuties along too. Hahaha.... Okie... I'm terrible but who dun like to see cuties. I'm jus being normal. No matter guys or girls right.....?

Alright man, i promise i will blog more often and i guess i will... as the day goes by and i get settle down at my new workplace.

2006-12-10T18:07:00.000-08:00

One week at my new workplace... I'm still trying to remember as many pple as i could here. Trying to adapt the brand new environment. I dun like to change job. I'm serious... but somehow new opportunities came by and i can't resist but to move on. Nothing much to mention... so far so good. Last wednesday was jolyn's birthday. Supposed to be at west coast park. Weather hasn't been good to her and it actually rain on that very day. Hence, BBQ was shifted to her fren's condo which is situated at west coast too. It's very ulu place... somehow i know that area coz my ex boss stay there and did go to his place to play tennis before. Sherin and I reached there around at 8 ++. To be honest, we were kinda pissed off... seems pretty invisible. We could have more appreciated if "hello.../ Hi..." was said. Jus walk away like tat... perhaps it wasnt intentional but still... We started to think if we even make the right choice of going down. Hence, we decided to leave earlier. One thing... we arent being unfriendly... jus that we arent really happy so we choose not to socialise. I wont deny that Sherin and me are kinda people with real attitudes. Saw the AC guys, Danny and Zhi quan... they are still pretty much the same.

Met up with Sean after that. Did i forget to mention that it was his birthday as well....? Happy birthday Sean!

Been meeting up with Sherin very very very often ever since her bf flew over to Brunei. Met her on friday for Stingray and Saturday for Happy Feet. Finally got to watch this movie before it stops screening. It's kinda hard to get pple to watch animated movies especially nowadays pple are thinking that they are too " matured" for animated movies. Not worth paying that amount jus to watch cartoon. Happy feet is so cute okie.... Amigo are the ones that brought life to the movie. They are hilarious!!! Next invasion shall be open season. HOHOHO!!!!
Nothing special on Sunday. went for my facial and finally got my new handphone. My k700i is failing on me. I guess the speaker is spoil. When i'm on the line, no one can hear me unless i use my handset. But i did a trade in. Hahaha... tat spoilt phone still worth 80 bucks. * wink wink*

My wonderful weekend

2006-12-06T14:38:00.000-08:00

Though my port dickson trip was cancelled, i still enjoyed my weekend very much. So many people have just simply made my day. Last friday was my last day of work. I did my clearance and requested for a testimonial. I was flattered.... saying how good i am. The desciption were too good for me. Nevertheless, Thanks lewis for giving me such a testi that would certainly create some impact on my future employment.

Went to Taka with Sean after work. He went to change his Timberland shoes while i wanna go and get my Elle bag. Finally got the Elle bag that came Jus in time for my new job. Poor Sean... it was about 9 plus already by the time i got my bag, he still had not eaten his dinner yet. He packed Mac and we headed down to Marina south Pier. The place was knda quiet. Surprisingly, they have this very nice drinking place there. Pictures speak a thousand words. Here you go:

slept kinda late coz after i reached home, i still gotta wrap jolyn's present. Gotta admit that i wrap until quite ugly that i dun even dare to take a pic of the present.

Woke up at 9+++ the next day. Supposed to meet Sherin at 11 am. In the end, she was late again. The previous night, she still called and told me that she wanna meet at 11am so that she can window shop first before getting the cake and set off to Miramar Hotel. And she arrived only at 11:30am. Forever late...!!!! Initially, Jolyn was late too. She was asupposed to meet us in orchard at 11:45am. smartie ass... she asked me about the nearest mrt and took a cab to the hotel instead. As i have mentioned, we were going to have our Tim Sum Buffet. We were stuffing ourselves till we got real full and only managed to eat really tiny slice of cake.

Birthday Girl- Jolyn

It was still the exam period for jolyn. Hence, she went back home for her revision while me and sherin went for our shopping. Didnt get any stuffs coz i have over-spent, buying lots of stuffs ( My Elle bag that cost me SGD110, Guess Watch SGD100, office wear SGD150, Footwear SGD40, casual wear SGD50) That's more than enough!!!

Next was the farewell dinner from my colleagues. Dedric came and pick up me, followed by wee lian to the designated eating place. I chose the place. It's at upper east coast road. It's been ages i last went. Perhaps a year ago. If not for my uncle who used to bring the entire family there for dinner ( when i say entire family, it dun means dad, mum, bro and me. It means the extended family) I miss the crab there. This makes the reason for choosing the place and it makes the reason of my fav crab to be in the order list. I got to eat the "pincers" and it is really really huge. Never managed to take a pic of that coz i think everyone was too busy eating away. Really wanna say a big thank you to all you guys

1) Sandra and husband
2) Wee Lian
3) Tony
4) Ong
5) Dedric
6) James

Though i was teased to the core at the dinner, I really enjoyed u guys' company. I will always miss those nonsense.

Programs after dinner ---> KTV @ shenton Party world. Favourite activity. Was yearning on it the other day. KTV can be so addictive at times man. I think beside Shenton partyworld, there should be a night club. I'm not too sure about that. But i keep seing those Cheena girls in the toilet, dolling up themselves and they are in gowns. Yes... GOWNS. Tony was some kinda excited about his " frenz". when i came back from the toilet and told the guys about those cheena girls, Tony knew it way before i noticed them. * Applause*

Reached home around 4am. Was kinda tired and spend my sunday at home. Attempt to clean up my messy room but gave up halfway. I admit about being lazy and also, sherin was coming down to my place. She wanna go and cut her hair at Kimage opp my place. she called me to meet me up for dinner after her haircut. She was telling me that the hairstylist actually help her to temp perm her hair which makes her look so horrible. I got no idea. By the time i got to meet her, she has tried to wet her hair and kinda straighten her perm.

2006-12-04T20:16:00.000-08:00

I'm busy, lazy and tired. I shall find time to blog tmr.

Far too much to update!

I promise...

Wilson Ncode Fury

2006-12-01T12:05:00.000-08:00

I saw something i like again.

I always think that it's time to change a new tennis racquet. Mine has been with me for like 3 to 4 years already. Time for retirement i guess. It has gone through all the tennis training with me. From learning to training to friendly matches to competition to causal playing, it has gone through "thick n thin" with me. Not exactly for the learning part coz i started off with a prince racquet! At that time i got this racquet, i kinda know how to play and stroke.

I think my racquet should be quite sad that it doesnt have a good owner which can maximise its usage and capabilities. Nv been an intensive player. I play it at my own pace own leisure. I'm jus not agressive enough.

Now, i'm aiming for this racquet- Wilson Ncode Fury . I wanna get that. Too many things to get already. Sigh!!! i Simply need more cash... i did earn $$ but is never enough. I guess i shall sit under the blue blue sky to wait for $$ to drop down from heaven when i'm free.

Bleh!

My 1st X'mas tree

2006-11-30T14:37:00.000-08:00

Time passes faster when u r doing something. I assure u about that coz i have been doing nothing in office for the entire week. Time seems to be crawling. Looking at the clock... it's only 10am... the 2nd time looking at the clock 10:10am. It feels like an hour is gone but in fact only 10 mins.

Can u imagine that kinda feeling? Totally terrible. Erm, jus to emphasize that i'm not employed by the company doing nothing. I'm a HR officer. Jus that the replacement has came really early and needs to have some hands-on work. Being such a kind rachel, i cant leave the guy untrained right?

And now, a task was assigned to me. I was asked to set up a xmas tree. 1st XMAS tree in life man!!! Got my colleagues to do it together. We have no idea how to go about setting up the tree, how to coil the lights on the tree, how to put the decorations onto the tree. In all, we are in a mess! We keep claiming that this is the ugliest xmas tree we have seen. Though that's kinda true, still.... it's my 1st xmas tree. Bear with it. Sing praises please!!!

That's the xmas tree that i set up

My 2nd last day of work at my current workplace. Met up with Rachel for lunch. Got the same name rachel BUT i'm rachel shi and she is rachel He. The "She" and "He" rachel... She also jus tender her resignation and moving on to her new workplace next month. Congrats. Finally got to do what she is interested in. She always wanna go into HR line which is what i am doing all these while. No idea when will i be seeing her again. She's really a nice person to speak to. The soft spoken, pleasant kinda rachel and me... i'm the noiser version. I will miss those days whereby we take the same bus to work.

Cut my fringe too short ... I look like a tootz! I cant stand that pimple near the edge of my lips! When is it going off?
Plans for today:
Meeting Sherin to get Jolyn's present

Plans for tmr:
Meeting my colleagues for dinner for my farewell party.

Plans for saturday:
Celebrating Jolyn's birthday ( me, Sherin and Jolyn) at Miramar hotel for Tim Sum.

Anyway, here's my new guess watch. I love it man... Bling bling!

Feder Bear

2006-11-28T10:57:00.000-08:00

I was browsing thru the webbie on tennis thingy when i came around this. I think it's been out in the market for very long only till today i got to see it. Well, i didn't catch those tennis matches anymore though they are really nice. All becoz of The timing of the live matches. Hahaha... if only they could accomodate with my timing... i would be able to watch those matches. That's y i nv take note there is such a Feder bear that is out in the market.

It's Feder bear. Orh... it's so cute i wanna have one too. Where to get ?

Coach Wristlets

2006-11-27T17:31:00.000-08:00

Last week, my aunt came over to my place with the Coach catalogue from states. Mummy was eyeing on the coach wristlet and the wallet. Me too.... the wristlets was really nice. My aunt was saying that if we want, we can always ask my cousin to help us to buy when she is flying over to states. Mummy wants the original brown coach wristlet and wants me to get the black one so that we can exchange in using it. Let me consider man... I'm too young for coach. Or rather i'm too poor for coach. Wait till i gets richer or save enough to get them. Shall add them to my wishlist too. Bleh!!!

Provide me with your definition

2006-11-27T12:48:00.000-08:00

I always wonder what does it mean when people tell u... my hobbies are.... blah blah blah . Quote an example, blading. Does it mean that

1) U know how to blade

2) U know how to blade, blade frequently and enjoyed it

3) U know how to blade and enjoyed it but never blade frequently

4) U like blading and enjoyed it but dun really know how to blade

For my own definition of hobby, i think it's No.2. Not exactly to mention being good in it and blade frequently, but at least u know how to blade and enjoy it to fit into the definition of hobby. If u jus love to do that particular activity or rather wanna learn to blade and dun really know how to do it, u call it that's ur hobby???

According to Dictionary.com , it mentioned that hobby is activity u enjoy doing for pleasure.

What is ur definition of the word " Hobby" ??? Give me ur say about it.

My Thursday - Sunday

2006-11-26T23:41:00.000-08:00

Thurs

I was on half day leave. Supposed to rush out my revision. Instead, i still met my mum at Miramar hotel for Tim Sum. Went there quite late. They are getting their last order damn soon so we have to like faster decide what we wanna eat and place our order. After meal, went down to Taka. I wanna go and see the xmas sale AND of coz the ELLE bag that caught my eyes the other day. I saw " all apparels at 20 % discount" I went to see that bag again. The lady there was telling me that there is no discount for it. Duh!!! I got myself a guess watch instead. I simply love it but certainly to get my ELLE bag soon. Probably next week.

Friday

My last paper, Business Law. I'm never good in it so i'm kinda worried about the paper. Samuel msg me in the morning, asking me if i'm going to library for some revision before the paper. We set a timing at ard 11:30am to get out of the house, setting off for school. It started pouring so heavily jus the moment i was about to step out. Gosh! And i nv like to bring umbrella. Luckily, it's all sheltered pathway to nearest bus stop. Met Samuel on the way to sch. He started asking me how come i took 2 buses to sch instead of having the direct bus.

My reply went like that:

I don't like to carry umbrella. If i wanna take the direct bus, i gotta walk to the interchange. But if change a bus, it saves me the trouble of bring umbrella.

He was like -_-" with my answer and told me that guys who carry umbrella look sentimental. Crap man....

Jus before my exam, I received a call from my beloved mummy, wishing me good luck. So sweet... thanks Mummy!!! A call from sherin too, and not forgetting a sms from Andy who most prob is already in Hong Kong. Enjoy yourself man...

Saturday

Nothing much... jus slept the entire day and went to my niece 1 year old birthday at Tenah Merah area. Was thinking of going out... but sherin most prob wont wanna coz she gotta work on the next day. So i stayed at home... Till almost 12am, Ru jin msg me and chat, asking me out for a drink. Followed by Kwok's call... asking me out to eat peanuts. How come he becomes so uncle now??? Ask me out in the middle of the night to eat peanuts??? Hahahaha... well if both of them have asked me out earlier, i will have agreed but i was too lazy. I mean not exactly i have to travel anywhere to meet them coz both of them will be driving down to fetch me and send me back. Esp Ru jin who live all the way at upper Serangoon, coming down to my place is not that near. Well, i'm jus plain lazy!!!!

Sunday

Went to collect a jacket that has been sent for alteration. I'm supposed to wear that over at my new workplace. I always wonder why hotel is so strict with dress code. I even heard before that hoteliers have the best dressing. I guess it's all about wearing smart coz almost everyone require to wear jacket or u may call it blazer and the black covered court shoes. Youngsters like me have to adapt to such a "mature" dress code which will most prob add on around 3 years to my exact age.

Headed down to IMM after that. I witnessed the ugly side of Singaporeans. When it comes to free shuttle bus, everyone wanna take. There's nothing wrong with that. Certainly, coz my mum and i were trying to catch the shuttle bus to IMM yesterday. The ugly thing about it is that no one bother to queue up. People jus rush to the doors of the bus and crowd around there. Pushing and squeezing which makes me totally turn off. Some parents are jus so irritating. Kids are already so poor thing being pushed and squeezed around especially u can hardly see those shortie kids in the crowd. They still pushed their kids to the front and wanting them to reserve a seat for them. And when comes to alighting the bus, i always think that people who are standing should get down 1st. Yeah once again... those pple who rush up the bus, wanna rush down the bus. Why are they always in a hurry? Can't they be more in order??? Stop being so Kiasu for goodness sake!!!

The common look

2006-11-22T17:17:00.000-08:00

I'm really bored to death at work. Ever since the replacement was here, i have not been doing anything. Nothing in office. I came to office, msn, surf the web and went for lunch. After lunch, Conitnue to msn and surf till my knocking off time. It's a waste of time. Didnt they know time = Money??? I think i could have fully made use of this 8 hours per day to do my intensive revision for my business law. I have not even covered half of the syllabus. U can imagine how slow i am... especially this friday is my exam already.

I wanted to take leave tmr to do my last lap revision. Erm... not exactly last lap.... In short, I jus wanan take leave to study. I wanna bring mummy to Miramar Hotel for some Tim Sum Buffet in the late morning and start my revision after that. There goes my plan. The other colleague said that she wanna go doctor tmr. WTS!!! I shall see how man... I really need that extra time to study.

Bloody damn free in office, tat's y u see me blog so often. I came across this webbie which i tot was pretty interesting. It tries to match ur face to those celebrities. I tried to upload my pic and do the matching. Well Done... No matches found. Hey Hey Hey, life is getting kinda unfair ah... i saw there's this girl using this matching thingy and came out like 8 matching pple that she looks like. And i got none!!!! Does it mean that i dun look like a celebrity? Or I have the unique look in me? ( Like what Kwok says " u got a Pan Pacific look. Dun look like u r from any country.) Or i dun even look like human being at all? I tried uploading till the 4th pic that took together with my brother at KTV.... got me some matches found.

But how come i have some guys in the match? I look like guy??? -_-" And i even look like some old old celebrities with those 80's hair style... At least one of my matching is Sharapova. Hahaha... the World branded tennis Babe!!!!

Try it out with ur pic and see how!!!

What Tarot Card are You?

2006-11-22T12:43:00.000-08:00

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Where is my hols???

2006-11-21T14:51:00.000-08:00

Great job man. Exam has not ended and i'm looking forward to my holidays. I'm not only referring to after exam holidays but also holidays as in travelling. I wanna go for a hols before i start my new job coz i know that it will be a long long time for my next trip. At least 3 months coz i need to pass my probation first. I have a feeling that next trip will only be next year end. Should be korea i guess... coz mummy said she wanna go.

Time to save up. For now, i can only afford to go for short trip. I was thinking of going KL and book a service apartment to stay with my family. Dad said that he is not exactly very familiar with KL and suggested Port Dickson. Mmm... Port dickson~~~

Rachel: So what's there at port dickson?

Dad: Nothing there. Jus the beach.

Rachel: Like tat sound like going Port Dickson is very boring.

Dad: Then i bring you to my workplace and ask my colleagues there to bring us around. I can also drive you all around to eat seafood what!

Mum: Is the seafood there cheap?

Dad: Okie la... not exatly very cheap. Normal lor.

Mum: Then go there and eat seafood for what???? Bring us to somewhere that sell cheap seafood la.

Rachel: -_-" I dun really mind going. I jus wanna go for hols.

There is this mindset in us that eating seafood in malaysia is damn cheap. I guess at certain places only. Cos that time i ate at the Chinatown in KL, it wasn't exactly very cheap. It's comparable to Singapore pricing. Perhaps it's jus a tinny winny cheaper that dun make much of a difference. We decided to drive up there. Plan was perfect. I went to source out for all the resorts there and even select out of the masses to get a 2 bedroom suite at Ancasa Resort Allsuites .

These were all discussed between me, dad and mum. There it goes, i went to ask my brother. He said that he is not going. WHAT????!!!!! It meant to be on some fmaily hols over the weekend and he is not going. He claimed that he is usually very busy on the mth end and start of the mth. So there goes my plan. I wanted to go ahead without my brother, but dad and mum said

Dad: Then i gotta drive up alone. I tot ur brother can take turns to drive to Port Dickson.

Mum: Getting a 2 bedroom suite for 3 pple is not very worth it. 3 pple and 4 pple staying in the suite also cost the same price.

So conclusion is we are not going Port Dickson. Fine!!!! Mum said that we can still drive in for some seafood dinner. And dad add on saying that if i want, we can always stay there for a night.

Thanks a lot.... but I DUN WAN. I dun wanna go there jus for seafood and back to sg. I dun wanna stay there for a night jus for the sake of staying there to make me feel like " wow I'm on hols".

Never give up on searching for other destination for hols. I came across Hatyai. Seems not too bad... Went to look at the reviews online to see what to do there. Pretty much like bangkok i guess, jus that not much of shopping as compared. Food and massage seems cheap. Not a bad idea. So i went home and "test water".

Rachel: Dad, mum... u all went before Hatyai right?

Dad & Mum: Yup

Rachel: Is very near to malaysia izzit? Erm... jus a little further up right?

Dad: Yeah... recently there got bombing. Not safe man.

Rachel: -_-"

Can strike Hatyai out of the holiday list already! If this goes on, i think i will not be able to go for hols.

Anyway, I came across this web selling necklaces. I love the care bear necklace at the 1st look. Is like the dog tag label pendant with care bear stating " Grumpy but cute" Hahaha... it's grumpy u know... Me and sherin were branded as grumpies by the AC guys. We are not only grumpy, we are cute too. Bleh!!!!

2006-11-20T13:08:00.000-08:00

I have blogged over the weekend but when i click on "publish", the whole pages goes... unable to display the page. Argh... totally irritated. I dun recall what i blog about anymore... Yucks!!!! I wonder is it my home connection problem coz whenever i blog in office, no such problem happen. It always happen when i tried blogging at home and it jus went unable to display.

So jolyn was telling me to blog on microsoft words 1st, then paste it in to blogger. That's so troublesome. Forget it man.

Right move it back to friday, i woke up in the morning to continue with my revision when samuel msn me, ask me to join him in school to study. By the time i reached the school library, it was about noon. Did some intensive revision but here and there got distracted by the msn. So, i feel finger poking onto my left arm. Yeah, Samuel!!! Not a bad idea to study with him whereby he can "bring u back to the right track".

An hour before exam, me and Samuel decided not to do anymore revision and jus to rest and relax. Sigh... jus as i expected, coz my brain was blank since then. I went into the exam hall blank too. It took me some times to adjust back and started generating the ideas. Exam lasted for 3 hours only. It end up i do not have the time to finish my essays. I did 3 completed ones and 2 of them half completed. I could have done 4 essays and left one totally blank. I feel that i wont be able to score very high for a essay, so i decided to split them up, doing half each. At least i made an effort to attend to all qns and never left blank to give away the marks.

No idea if it is the right approach to score a better marks... or i shld have done 4 completed essay... everything over. Business law this friday. Gotta buck up man!

Anway, here's the pictures on that sat that i went out with SJ.

BSZ 160 Final Exam

2006-11-17T17:45:00.000-08:00

Clearing this module will all depend on this very day 17 November 2006. I guess i did put in my effort to study... i swear.... I studied till late nights everyday and wrote tons and tons of notes which i even dun know if it helps.

It's jus 1 hour and 45 mins to the exam. I'm still trying the squeeze everything into my brain... Argh... i dread the feeling of having exam.

2006-11-15T11:14:00.000-08:00

Never go out = no pictures

Dun expect pictures for the post for these few weeks. coz i think i will be mugging away! I have yet to resize the pic that i took with SJ last sat. U see.... i got no time!!!

Stress man!!! This is the result of not preparing exam way ahead. I did do my assignment and have a rough idea of what this and that are about. U know, i'm pretty bad in memorising things. My memory can be as bad as an old lady. No doubts on that...

let me quote u an example, There's once these 2 guys sitting beside me at the lecture. One guy ask me how to spell a word ( which i have forgotten what word is that) So after a while, he talked to me n introduced himself. So i did the same thing and he introduced his fren too. He fren said that he knows me. What??? He knows me... how can i dunno him. So he told me we were in the same tutorial class n attended 2 and more tutorials before. I was like... izzit??? u in my class??? How come i dunno??? He was kinda embarassed for not noticing him. I mean i dun really take note of anyone in class except those who talk to me before and those attention seekers. I'm there to study ... not there to know cute guys u know.... haha ( though that's a plus point... i wont deny)

I got a mistake of the weightage of my 3 assigments and the final year exam. I always tot that

1st assignment - 10%
2nd assignment- 15%
3rd assignment - 15%

Total percentage for assignment is 40%.
The remaining 60% comes from the final exam.
So a total of 100% for this sem, i jus need to achieve 40% in order to clear.

But i was wrong. I called up the school and asked them.. they told me

1st assignment - 30%
2nd assignment - 35%
3rd assignment - 35%

Total of 100% for the 3 assignments
Another 100% for the final year exam

SO it makes this sem having 200%. The average of out of the 200% will be the marks that obtain in this sem.

However, even the average u obtained the passing mark 40 and u failed your final exam, u will be considered as fail. The requirement is to pass the final exam and average hitting at least 40 marks.

This set me even more worried. I dunno if i can get 40 marks. It seems easy to get but things are always unpredictable. U will never know if u have all the points but lack of elaboration( no depth) or writing too much irrelevant info or marker is stingy with the marks or no content no elaboration ( a total piece of trash) ???

Exam Fever!!!

2006-11-13T17:53:00.000-08:00

My 1st paper is on this coming friday. Getting a little worried... Hopefully everything turns well for me.

Thousand thoughts these days... Perhaps the exam has made me a little tensed up or the new upcoming job is bringing in a little uncertainty. Everything will be fine... I pray!!!

Revision has not been progressing much esp my brother came back yesterday and told me about his paper. * Perspire* How would mine turn out to be like??? Afterall, this is my 1st sem... my 1st paper.

What came worse??? I wasnt feeling too well these days. Down with flu. Nose is always giving me problem and always come at the wrong time. I was kinda tired and decided to sleep early. I told myself i will wake up at 6am to do some revision and in the end, i slept all the way to 7++. Guess gotta take leave on thurs to make up to the time wasted these days for studying. If only i have made use of the time over last sat and sun properly.....

...Last Sat...

I went to collect my formal wear that i have gone to alter it. Then went for some shopping with my mum and aunts. Headed back home first coz i'm meeting Shengjun for dinner at holland V. By the time i reached, it was around 9++. So i started doing some readings from there.

... Last sun...

I always make it a point to go for facial monthly and ithink that i dun really have time to go for it for the next 2 weeks so..... I went on sun. After that, went to the people's park OG to walk around. Hehehe... they are having 20% storewide discount!!! Nothing catches my eye only that ELLE bag that i saw with my mum at Taka the other day. I'm waiting for the xmas sale to own that ELLE bag. Shall drop by to Taka after my exam.

See how i wasted my weekend away. I hope i will fully make use of this weekend to study my business law. Argh!!!! I really hope...

2006-11-08T13:17:00.000-08:00

Revision is progressing slow. I tend to be really lethargic these days. Haha.. give me some motivation to perk me up for some speedy revision or else i'll be in big time trouble. Give me a little knowledge from Robbins... and a little from decenzo please!!!

I'll be a good girl staying at home studying this weekend. Erm..Perhaps out for a game of tennis. U cant blame me for that... I need to de stress ( though i dun really have much stress. I'm more like lacking of sleep) and how long i have not even touched my beloved racquet. Please understand...

Simply got no motivation now... Initial plan is to go to Bangkok in January. And now... I'm starting my new job next month. By Jan 07, I dun have any leave to spare for my holidays coz i'm still under probation by then. Either i gotta postpone my bkk trip to ard march/ april or cancel my trip. I miss Bangkok!!! Or... hehehe.... if i could save enough $$$ and there are pple who are interested in going Taipei, I dun mind too. But going to Taipei need to spend even more $$$. The thought of that makes me think twice.

Reviewing pictures

@ Bangkok

@ Taipei- Xi Men Ting

I guess i jus have to stick to my bangkok trip plan. Unlike some kind souls wanna sponsor me a free taipei trip... Any kind souls??? * grins*

2006-11-07T12:24:00.000-08:00

Some pictures to share... These are the pictures on last sunday, KTV session.

Jolyn and me

Us again

Not my bf... he's my brother. Look alike???

Well, my disfigured lappy has recovered. The Dell engineer has changed a new cover and did some updates for my laptop. Excellent service!!! More than happy to see my laptop back to its original look. And the sacrifice of my lappy has indirectly benefitted me. HOHOHO!!! That i shall not share it here!

Thanks Dell!!!!

Exam coming soon. I shld start Mugging.

*yawn* but i jus cant help but to yawn when i see my Robbins and Dezenco Book!

My poor lappie

2006-11-06T12:09:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, i was heading down to my nephew's birthday in the noon and headed down to KTV with my brother, jolyn and her 2 frenz. Was "craving" for some ktv and tennis session yesterday. But.... rain rain rain... the weather dun allow us to play tennis. ( I mean even it stopped, who wanna roll the court??? It takes like half an hour to roll the court dry...)

So we went for KTV session at Partyworld. Sunday was pretty worth it coz the drinks are 1 for 1. Everyone entitled to 2 drinks yet paying like 14 bucks only.

Sigh... was pretty tired when i got back home around 12am. And to my amaze, my laptop cover ( the tinted silver paint) has a stain of diameter 2 cm and it's chipping off.

ARGH!!!!!

This lappy is even less than a mth old. I went to my brother's room and ask him about it. He said that it seems to be perfume tat stained the lappy, causing corrosion to the tinted metal paint to chip off. I was trying to seek help everywhere to see if this can be claim under warranty. Everyone was telling me " Rach... this is a cosmetic issue. Dun think can man. Use a sticker to cover it." I even took a pic to send to simon to let him see the condition of the corrosion.

I dun wan... i wan the original look of my lappy.

Finally, the savior is here. Jeremy!!!! He used to work in Dell. He told me that Dell does have the accident coverage for their products. I went over to the website and take a look.

*blink blink*

This phrase brings a smile to my face

"One year or three years repair or replace service for accidental damage including drops and liquid spills"
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/ap/topics/services/en/complete_cover?c=sg&l=en&s=dhs

Perfume = liquid

So i supposed it covers.

I called Dell jus now, they are making an arrangement to come down to give me lappy a plastic surgery tmr between 11:30-13:00

Lappy, u jus gotta bear with that scar... tmr... everything will be fine!

The dangerous woman on EARTH that u shld be aware!

2006-11-04T00:22:00.001-08:00

I jus help but to blog about this incident... That Sherin was trying to try out heels.... as usually she love throwing the heels on the floor in order to try them. ( Jus some warning to those pple who open shops that are selling shoes or heels, beware of that woman. Though i'm pretty much the same kind!!! hahaha...) This woman, she is really lousy. she throw the heel on the floor and

Damnnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The heel hit my toe... what an ass man!!! u know how pain is that????? Is not the sole part of the heel that landed on my toe... is the pointed part!!!! What the shit man!!!!!! She still happily laughing away

I swear it damn painful that i feel like strangling her. I tell u... i will forbid her on wearing heels and trying on heels when she decide on going out with me. TOTALLY PROHIBITED!!!!

No negotiation...

Though now i no longer limping... there's no blue-black shown on my toes. But it's the internal part that still in pain when u wear ur shoes... sandals .. whatsoever thingy on ur feet. I think it hurt the vein. I dunno when the pain gone... Yucks man!!!

Damn unlucky... keep away from this ger... I warn U!!!!!

Resignation

2006-11-03T16:01:00.000-08:00

I've tendered my resignation yesterday from my current workplace. I pondered a little at first to think about of i should be leaving for a better place but having doubts if i can manage my studies at the same time. Moving back to the hotel industry nv seems to be an easy thing but certainly a better learning field. Though the thoughts of hotel at times will make me shiver down my spines, i think it will jus make me a stronger person as the time goes by. The toughest time i guess i have been through...

Luckily, i have gotten myself a new job, a better position, a better pay and better benefits i supposed. With everything better, there bound to be opportunity cost. I need to work alternative saturday and the workload will be more. Yesterday, my boss tried to talk to me, suggesting if he can move me permanently over to help out on coordinating jobs for engineers ( which is called helpdesk) I was like... " Argh!!!" I wanna go into HR line if not i won't be even studying business now. And i dun wanna get stuck and get down there for years. Till then, i will gain no experience at all.

Well, i'm offered the position of HR exective and is required to be in formal wear. She said " i don't expect u to be in suit everyday but somemore formal and presentable. Meanwhile, you can wear smart casual for now till the hotel reopen."

FORMAL WEAR????!!!!!

Oh shit man.... how am i supposed to wear formal attire??? And it's almost everyday. OMG!!!

I shall see how it goes about.... -_-

The Missing Period

2006-11-02T13:23:00.000-08:00

Okie here i am for the update for that missing period... As i have mentioned i'm busy rushing out my assignments which are due on month end. The best part is i'm total demoralised after i got back my assignment results. Practically my results are going downhill. I tell u ... i did put in effort to do but still i cant figure out why. I think the tutor dun really like me. She gave the cutest guy in class the highest mark. Well, i will work hard for my upcoming exam. Will start to do some readings by this week.

I wanna score well man!!!

So most of my days i'm either at home or gone out to study with Jolyn. There's days that she came to my place and study, went down to holland V, Essential Brews to study. Meeting her pretty often these days. Well, she is nice enough to send me to hand in my assignment to my tutor at Bukit Batok. Usually is my dad who send me there coz the place he stay is quite inaccessible. And back home too... she mentioned that if she never send me home, she will feel damn guilty. And i told her... " if u nv send me home now, next time i have licence... i will drop u somewhere convenient for u to take a bus back home. " I'm not threatening her for sure... hahaha... so from now onwards, i guess i will be sent home whenever she is driving. Thanks in advance my dear girl!!!

And yesterday, it was Sherin b day. I was on leave. Well, i'm quite a nice fren... hahaha.... My arrangement with Royal Plaza on Scotts is supposed to be on Tues and i pushed it to wed so that i will be taking my leave and able to celebrate with her for the rest of the day. Everything went on real smooth. And i went back home to change and headed back to town to meet Sherin and Jolyn. Walked around at Far East plaza and the braces girl, sherin need to go for her dental at mount E. Meanwhile, Jolyn and me got a small birthday cake from bakerzin and she brought me over to see her cutie fren who is working at CK at Isetan. I did see him twice before.... not bad, kinda cute!!!

By the time, sherin done with her Blink blink-=braces, it's almost time to head down to Ivins for dinner. It was raining so heavily that the taxi stand queue was really really long. Waited for half an hour or more for a taxi but we did fully make use of the time by taking pictures.

@ the taxi stand this is what happend to the 3 girls

Sherin try not to waste any time for ur last lap for her test tmr

She's the birthday girl!!!

Having the saddest look on earth Competition

Jolyn's verison

My verison

Sherin's version

Sherin kept wanting to call a cab but how calculate together

Calling cab charges:

Booking fee $4

Boarding at CBD area charge $1

Peak hour Charge $2

Standard charges upon boarding $2.50

Total $9.50 ( upon boarding the cab)

That's ridiculous to ask me to call a cab man. So expensive!!!!

The usual dinner eating session and the cake cutting session went on...

The bakerzin's small little cake that cost"wow"

And there we headed back home as Sherin has her test the next day and jolyn need to study. For me, i need a gd rest to recharge.... to start my revision soon.

I LOVE this classic picture!!! Sherin look damn..... * speechless*

And forget to mention... Samuel gave me a $50 voucher for capitaland for my birthday gift some days back!!! Thank pal!!!

2006-11-01T08:02:00.000-08:00

Hi guys, it's been some times i last updated my blog. Jus in case u think that i have abandoned my blog... NO NO NO... i didnt... i'm jus Busy with a lot of things such as rushing my assignmentssss... ( It's really a lot lor... so many essays to do and the best part is... i rush everything out. I dont think i will do well for this assignment. Pray hard!!!) and not forgetting sherin's birthday.

I'm too lazy to bog about what happened now... coz i'm far too tired and i have yet to resize those pictures taken. I will do them all by tmr... i promise.

We are the big girls now - Next is Sherin...

2006-10-25T09:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Cyn celebrated her 21st birthday at Cheveron. The chalet wasn't too bad, can consider booking next time. It has a nice pool view jus in front of the chalet. Gotta have some eye candies man....

I arrived at around 6++ in the evening. There's already quite a number of pple there. Have a quick scan... none of them i know which i kinda expected coz cyn has told me that i will be the only sec sch fren of hers there. Pretty okie la... can see that she has been trying to keep me entertained. No worries... I can always scan for some cuties around to keep myself occupied. But one thing that i feel bad on is that i didnt manage to stay till she cut her cake.

Sorry, Cyn!!!

Coz Jolyn drove down to fetch me and she was already waiting outside for quite some time. Gotta rush off man... and i didnt get to eat that Gelare birthday cake....

Jolyn picked me and Sherin up... headed down to Essential Brews coz jolyn said that she nv go there before. Chat and laughed loudly... I think we 3 seem to be getting closer. And most prob we will be meeting up more often as compared to last time. Think should be meeting her this sat to mug...

And guess what.... Jolyn gotta leave us at 9++. She is meeting the AC guy. Duh!!!! U see... she is meeting her "New" fren for movie. EEE...

I'm 21 years old!!!

2006-10-22T18:27:00.000-07:00

I'm 21 years old now!!!!

Had my party on the exact day of my birthday.... on last sat at SAF changi chalet. I gotta admit that the place is kinda hard to find. Many dont really know their way especially those who didn't drive, they have to take MRT all the ay down to Pasir Ris and take a cab from there. There's a bus that can reach there from Tampines but if they were to take the bus, most prob they wont know which stop to alight.

I'm appreciated those who have come for my birthday party. They really make an effort to come down when they would have known about me not being a good host. I have too many frenz and relatives to entertain. Thanks a lot everyone!!!

Of coz... there are pple who have agreed on coming and didnt turn up. At least a sense of courtesy to inform me please... these people are the most terribe one!!! U drop me a message to let me know, it wont kill u or have piece of u lesser. There are people who disappoint me, of coz there are people who make me so touched. These pple really worth mentioning such as

My tennis coach ( he came here alone),
Cyn ( she's the 1st few who came and was all alone till my other sec sch frenz came),
Sherin ( she know no one there and she still stay throughout),

Jolyn ( Initially she deserve a death sentence coz she made a mistake tot that my birthday is on 24th Oct, but she managed to rush over and bring us laughter throughout the night!!! We were so damn Noisy!!!!),

Agnes (Argh!!! i didnt manage to take a pic with her tat day...She came... with her bf and though they are going to somewhere else, she still stayed for a while to chat with us. Thanks Girl!!!),

my sch frenz ( We seldom meet but yet u pple came... Thanks a lot!!!),

Kelvin ( My brother's fren.... he's kinda alone too... know him for years but only when we went to taiwan that time, that's when we became frenz...)

Well... almost everyone left.... tat's when jolyn arrived. She was kinda lost on the way there and my brother had to drive out to look for her. She's a damn funny and entertaining lady lor... Me, my brother, joshua, Sherin, jolyn and Sheila went out to eat again. At first, we went down to Changi village, wanting to eat the famous Nasi Lemak. But.... Sherin!!!!! She bloody damn scared of cats. And no idea why... the cats in changi seems to reproduce very fast. Big cats... small cats... Sherin jus keep screaming all the way in the hawker centre. -_-"

We changed our destination to Fisherman Village. Hahaha... I love the place!!! Romantic!!!! with the beach... sea breeze... music but... with the wrong group of frenz. We arent couple or trying to date. We were jus a bunch who are disturbing the peace there, toking so loudly, laughing like nobody's business. We were kinda attention seeking there. It's been so long that i felt so fun...

Classic pictures of Me, sherin and Jolyn...

Thanks everyone!!!!

I'm the birthday girl tmr!!!

2006-10-20T18:35:00.000-07:00

I havent been blogging these days as i'm rushing out my assignment. There are poeple complaining to me for the lack of updates when they see me on msn. Due to my poor time mgt, Serve me right man....!!! I rushed out my assignment even given another extra 2 days ... I think i'm gonna fare badly this time round. Though i pretty much deserve what i've done, hahaha frenz out there do pray hard for me to get a decent grade for my assignment. I promise i will work harder!!!

Mm... It's a thousand times or rather a million time that u hear me saying about it. I'm gonna get serious one fine day. U will never know.... hahah maybe the next time u see... * blink* A brand new hardworking rachel!!!!

Okie... review of the week...

On Monday, met Brennan after work at Essential brews. Mm.... he's gonna give my birthday a miss as he is flying to Australia for his studies. It's gonna be years... Well i guess if he is not going to Aust, he's not going attend my party as well coz he mentioned to me that he dun know anyone there , will feel kinda weird.

That's Brennan!!!

Nothing much on the past few days coz basically i'm jus rushing out assignment. Went for the monthly torture facial session... guess nothing much to talk about...

Anyway... tmr is my birthday... I have been making this annoucement for dunno how many times but it's gonna be the last few time. Tmr is my big day!!! 21st birthday.... nothing fantastic also... but after all give me some face to turn up to make my party a little rowdy and crowdy. For those who have gave the confirmation of your attendance for tmr, I sincerely appreciated!!! For those who have yet to decide to come or not to come, do make up ur mind fast and drop me a sms if u can to have the courtesy to inform. Dun use ur frenz as an excuse to say that "he's not going so most prob i wont be going" whereby in the end, what i saw was finger pointing each say a different version. U know i arent gonna be angry with u if u r not coming. U can jus say so... coz u might not be comfortable with the crowd. Tat's fine with me.

Hope everything turns out well.... My 21st birthday!!!

2006-10-15T19:49:00.000-07:00

I feel damn shitty about myself. My assignment is gonna due on coming wed 18 Oct and i have not even read my materials. I told myself i gotta get started over the weekend. And guess what i have done on saturday????

I woke up around at 10 plus, almost 11am. Washed up... bleh bleh bleh and went to buy my brunch and my brother's + mummy's shares. After eating, i read a few pages of my Singapore Business Law ( That extremely thick business law bible ), I'm stuck with the TV. Watching till I'm kinda sleepy and i went for my nap.

When i woke up, it's about time to prepare to go for Mark Lee's birthday. It was held at the Bouna Vista area, NTU alumni. It was supposed to be a surprise for him according to my cousin. Those celebrities and my cousin had planned telling him he gotta go there for a show but info was being leaked out. So Surprise no longer a surprise. I think Mark is quite lucky. He told those pple there who wanna to bet on soccer to place their money on Man U and the predicted score was 3-1. And he got it all right!!!! The best part is my brother, Joshua ( my Cousin), his gf, aunt, uncle and me were happily ktving away till 1.30am there. Especially after that KTV session we all know about the really old song that my uncle sang and dance- Love Potion number 9.

I wanted to go back early to do my assignment. I swear i really tot that way... but no one seems to be wanting to leave and of coz i cant be the one spoiling the mood right. If i wanna go, that means my brother will be leaving with me coz he gotta send me home. See... i cant be so selfish!!! so i sacrifice....

And there sunday came... I did some reading and i'm really some kinda gd girl... i brought my book to read during that 3 hours plus of rebonding my hair.

I think i read for 1.5 hours only...
0.5 hours sleeping there...
1.0++ hours seeing pple around there.

Though it's jus 1.5 hours, it's kinda constructive. At least out of the 8 essay questions to be done, i've completed 1 of them.

7 more to go....!!!! Congrats man....

3 more days to the due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-10-12T12:16:00.000-07:00

Bought the goodies from Malaysia for my buddy and passed it to her yesterday. I realised that i lost my Essential brews VIP card. Argh!!! Anyone see my VIP card??? Can u please kindly return back to me or did i misplace it somewhere? Luckily, i still entitled for the 10% discount when i produced my IC. Well, even if i dun, i think those pple there do recognise me n my buddy. We are the LOYAL customers for essential brews.

We went to walk around and sherin got herself a new top. Some pictures with her new top... Jus some act cute pictures!!!

Look kinda lesbian ah... No worries we are not... Sherin got her beloved bf... and i'm single and still interested in guys. Jus yet to meet one... and i always believe he should be on his way!!!! I think i really need to slim down man... look at my thunderous thighs and calf muscules!!! Compare sherin's with mine.. gosh.... mine is like so much bigger. Tennis is the main culprit for my huge thighs and calf muscules... and of coz my eating style.... snackie... junkie play a part too. I jus cant be in time to slim down for my birthday. Haha.. perhaps that will make the greatest regret for my 21st birthday!!! Crap man!!!

I've been feeling quite tired these days. I tried to make an effort to stay up in the night to do some reading for my business law in order to get started with my assignment which is due next wed. Gonna rush my assignment out again and this time, there are more questions in the assignment.

after my business law assignment, my management assignment gonna be due in another week's time. And in Nov, my exam!!! It will den determine if i will be able to clear this sem.

If u get to see me, can u please motivate me...? Say something like " Rach, study hard!!!" " Rach, dun be lazy... buck up man!!!" Not sure if it makes an impact on me, hopefully it helps a little in me. At least i know my frenz care about me.... Hahaha...

Can i look like these pigs please?

2006-10-11T09:49:00.000-07:00

I wanted to change a wallpaper for the workstation in my office. And here it goes....

My colleagues say they look like me... naming them after me as Rachel Pig. Arent they adorable??? especially the centre one... it jus simply have a wide smile =D

Out of a sudden, i think tat girls with single eyelid are getting kind popular. They look rather cute. I was seeing this lady in the bus when i was on the way to work. She got a small face with a small nose... small eyes.... small mouth.... everything in her looks so small... hahaha quite cute!!! I think No longer in trend of the dolly big eyes gers look that means... my big eyes create no charm anymore. Dammit!!!!

I think i better look like those pigs... they are far too adorable!!!!

Lunching with Soon Guan

2006-10-10T13:28:00.000-07:00

Jus met up with Soon Guan for lunch at Breeks. Poor thing... he got lost at comtech. Hahaha.... though i gotta admit that my exact workplace is really a little hard to find. Pick me up with his swift. Swift is getting some kinda popular. Small and sporty!!!! Good choice man!!!

Went to Vivo city. Erm... still very new. Not all the shops have opened yet so practically he parked his car at vivo city and we ended up at harbourfront for lunch. Walked a distance .... Been years as i have mentioned that we last met. Updating how we are doing now... Great... he's fine and i'm fine too

Am i short or he need to practice more on photo taking? Pictures jus dun seems to be centralised

Haha... but kinda bad ah.... i think his lunch hours has gone way beyond. Lunch time is a bad timing to meet up. Hopefully he doesnt get scolded by his boss. I'll pray hard for u. Sneak in !!!!

P/S: Soon Guan said that sherin is cute... when i show him

--->

why never praise me too??? Sob sob!!! Hahaha

Genting Trip

2006-10-09T18:04:00.000-07:00

Was rushing back home from work. I had yet to pack my thingy for the trip. Flap for a cab. The cabbie was an interesting one. He talked a lot and wanna teach me some tactics to deal with guys. No harm listening... perhaps they might be useful. Hahaha...

About 9pm, Dad went to pick Wee Lian up from Clementi 1st and headed down to Golden Mile complex. Om the way there, Chee khiang called me. He said that he last min got something on, cannot make it for the trip. What the piece of shit!!!! Pay for it and last min cannot make it.... i mean try to go la... and what came after that. Ong called me to tell me that he was stuck in a jam at CTE. He dun think he can reach there at 9.30pm. Well, i didnt lie to them about the timing. It's really 09.30 to reach there to report. but the coach will leave at 10.00pm. U know they are fond of being late... and that's what i got it from them. Chee Khiang and ong had already reached there, jus called to disturb me coz i'm late for 5 mins. Duh!!! So bad....

Our bags....

There we started our genting trip....

Me and wee Lian

Met my 2 aunts at the stop-over at Yong Peng. They were heading down to Genting as well.

On the way up the slope of Genting, it was damn foggy. Hardly can see things in front.... only for that few metres. I dun think it's the haze that caused it... should be the mist i think. Reached Genting at 4++ am. Shag..... No rooms to check in first. We went for our Mcdonald Breakfast and Chee Khiang bought the whole set of hello kitty Lego toys...

The Mist in Genting @ 4 am

The Shaggy look of us~~~

The quiet Mcdonald

The mess that we created

Hello kitty loves to play tennis as well???

Others went for Casino while me, wee lian and chee khiang went to walk around. Not that i dun wanna go in but i dress until too sloppy. I dressed in shorts and slippers. Always been like tat.. that's rachel!!!!

After checking in and resting in the room for a while, Me and weelian headed to the casino and look for the rest of them. I did try my luck. Played the BIG/ SMALL game over at the table and the computerised system, the "bonus Bonus Bonus" jackpot ( That particular jackpot is fun. It has a bonus stage whereby u have 3 of the bonus logo. Me, Weelian and Ong were so noisy when we were playing that) The horse racing game. Too bad lady luck wasn't there for me!!! I wasnt kinda interested in gambling... need to be really take a look out for the chips that u have bet.

Me, wee lian, Chee Khiang and Paul went for the Theme park. The thrill was no longer there coz i think i have played several times on every trip to Genting. But poor Wee Lian.... we keep asking her to join us for the rides. And she did.... she agreed it reluctantly... and closed her eyes on those rides. Hahaha...

Kiddy rides

Which hand is mine?

Shopping time!!!

Wee Lian's Pillow which cost RM 19.90 only

Didnt have much things to buy... Even there are... the prices are not something that i will pay for. Hence, we went to watch Rob-B-Hood. We booked the entire row of the OSIM massage chair to watch the movie. What's more... it only cost RM15 with inclusive of OSIM massage chair, movie, mineral water, popcorn and 4 finger kit kat!!!! It's damn worth it. Try it next time if u happen to go Genting.

Basically, there's really nothing much to do in Genting except the theme park and casino. I'm rather disappointed with the shops there coz i didnt managed to get much things. Still, it's a short break... and i simply love it.

Random thoughts

2006-10-06T13:47:00.000-07:00

I think i'm not feeling too good today. I got pissed off.... not as in pissed off only but really fusing over a small issue. I guess it's the different degree of tolerance one can endure. For me, i hate pple to wronly accuse me especially when i repeated for so many many many times. Please do believe me...

Though people said that he's jus joking, i dun think so at all. The facial expression seemed to tell something more than joking. It seems more like blaming me. I swear the customer did not hear a single thing. Jolly well forget it if u dun believe. Well... really appreciate ong who try to "put out" the fire within me... I may sound a bit harsh when people try to comfort me coz i'm really red in anger and feel so Wei Qu... I'm sorry i didnt mean it. I know u guys are jus trying to make me feel better.

I'm feeling much better now after the lunch and four season durian puffs from ong. * grinz*

There's once i went out with My GM, Lewis. He was telling me about the Mcdonald birthday cake is an essential thingy on his birthday even at his age now. I was like " Mcdonald sell birthday cake???" Hahaha... it's $12 bucks only and jus simply tell them u wanna buy. They should have stock in hand.

And News received today... Samuel msn me " I've jus sent in a request for a birthday party at KAP." KAP??? Mcdonald??? Hahaha... seemed cool ah.

It will bring the adult back to a kid again. I celebrated my 8th birthday at Mcdonald Serene centre. I still remember it was kinda fun. Was it becoz we were kids then and easily satisfied when the moment we stepped into some fast food restaurant? Still, i think it will turn out fine as there will be a party host for the event.

I started to get a little worried for my b day. My frenz are pretty scattered kind whereby they might not even know a single soul there. As in i know them separately... even i know them thru my frenz, i think the midde person who intro us... have gone overseas for studies. So...... i guess they bound to be kinda bored if they are coming. I hope they will come. Obviously i dun wan my birthday to turn out to be some kinda empty party with no many pple.. i wan it to be as rowdy as can be....

What do i do about my birthday party?

Time ticking.... approaching real soon...

A chat with my "old " Fren

2006-10-06T02:29:00.000-07:00

Had a chat with my "old" fren on msn. I get to know Soon Guan when i was sec 3 i think. Back then, i was still a 15 yrs old girl. 6 years passed. I seldom see him online, seldom meet him up, seldom talk to him.

It's all so once in a blue moon. Last met him was 3 yeasr ago when he was still studying at NUS.

Had a good chat with him. I always love talking and keep in touch with "old" frenz.

Now both of us are stepping into the working society and workplace are kinda near. So perhaps we can meet up for lunch or dinner session.

Kelvin... another old fren.. he said that he will be coming down for my birthday. He promised. Hopefully he will... if he does... it's really damn touching. He is jus like Soon guan. Somone who i never see him online, seldom meet up with him and seldom tlak to him.

Old frenZZZzzzz

Weekend over Genting!!!

2006-10-05T17:00:00.000-07:00

I will be skipping sch on friday and heading down to Genting. Will only be back on Sunday. Meanwhile, dun miss me... hahaha....

When i'm back, there should be some pictures to share...

Busy Busy Busy...

i need to plan for my birthday... My classmates were saying that i should have a Theme for my birthday party. Not a bad idea... but what theme? Cyn is having a retro birthday party. What about me? I got no idea... a greenie party? A FlipFlop party? A Sports wear party? Hahaha... n what me and samuel came up with...

Tada..... It's Spongebob party. ( I'm still thinking if i should adopt the Spongebob party) It's about people need to dress in the colours which spongebob has ( yellow or brown). Those who do not do so, have to bring a spongebob along!!! Quite dumb ah!!

What makes us came up with this idea was the popular spongebob invitation card that everyone is requesting from me. As i said, that's a "limited edition" for my birthday so only limited people will receive it. If u do... congrats!!! You are the lucky one.

My cards!!!!!

My popular invitation cards... Spongebob... SO CUTE!!!

an upcoming bbq session with my 1st 3mth classmates. It's time to refresh our teenage memories!!! Woo... so long nv see them liao... wonder how's everyone doing. I'm not exactly close to them and frankly speaking, i didnt talk to them much except for Sherin and jolyn. Perhaps they have long ago forgotten me. Wonder how everything will turn out to be like... jus in case it didnt turn out as expected. At least we have yakking jolyn to keep us entertained.

Still have no idea the bbq session is on or not... coz many of them still yet to reply. We shall see....!!!

Busy BUsy BUSY!!!

2006-10-02T20:23:00.000-07:00

Being an organiser is never an easy task.... especially it comes to the part... " hey... pay $$ leh!!!" People jus simply shoo away from u... Tough job to do man... Pple jus dun confirm with you whether thay are going or not. U know there are pple who jus love backing out at the last min which makes me feel like strangling them man...

Argh!!! Hope to settle them ASAP... coz we are setting off on friday night!

I went for a run yesterday. I got no idea what came across my mind to actually decide to go for a run. After the run. it's proven that rach isnt some kinda gd runner. I guess tennis is a better choice for me. I never regreted picking up tennis. It's the kind of sports that i enjoy playing. What's the plus point to it... it dun need to run THAT much. I didnt say it does not require running but it does not require tat much of running. Though i said i nv like running, my best record for my 2.4km in my fitness test is 12:30 mins. Only my standing broad jump... i cant jump like frog...

Croak!

I wan my champagne chocolate mooncake!!!

2006-10-01T22:06:00.000-07:00

Review of my weekend: Pretty wasted my weekend away. Did not carry out what was being planned.

Met up with Sherin on last friday for some slacking session at Essential brews. I simply love slacking away and talk rubbish. Hahaha... i never tot that was a waste of time though i could have fully utilise that few hours on ... perhaps revision or some sports, rather than slogging there.

Out of a sudden, we jus recalled that christmas whereby me, sherin, kwok and Edwin were there for a drink. Kwok and Ed were kinda centre attraction... they are considered cute......and those girls kept peeping at them. So funny! So Me and sherin jus keep teasing them, asking them which gers that were peeping at them they prefer.

Those are the days..... so memorable!!!

So Sherin decided we shall find one fine day to meet up again. Just nice... at night i saw Ed online so i asked him and had a chat with him.

Guess what i found out!!!

Earth-shocking news!!!! ( at least it's shocking enough for me)

Ed has a new gf which shares the same birthday at me. FOr ur info, me, kwok and Ed are the 21st october babies. That's not the amzing part....

The shocking part is.... Ed's gf is only 19 years old!!!

OMG ... 2 years my junior... Ed is 5 years old than me... which means ed's gf is 7 Years younger than Ed!!!

I mean it's kinda common when it reaches the age like mid 20s... getting a partner in his 30s . I mean that seems fine... but mid 20s getting a young girl as gf.... Mmm...

My 1st reaction to Ed was " Are u trying to cheat on young girls???"

Perhaps there is really no boundaries in love... * shrugs*

~Saturday~

Went for KTV session with my brother and mum. It's been quite sometimes.... i simply enjoyed myself very much n pick up a few new songs. I will "polish" them well and sing the next time i go KTV. This session seems to pass very quickly. I'm still hoping on another KTV session. Anyone???

Drove back to pick my dad up to get our new TV and headed down to Hotel Intercontinental. All because of ME!!! I told them that i heard about the Hotel Intercon Champagne chocolate mooncake is very nice. Once said, message conveyed. They know i wanted it. Hahaha.... so we went down to get. But..... it's sold out when we reached there. So we asked when will they have stock.

Tat's what the guy said " Sorry it's been sold out for this season. If u wan, u can try again next year."

NEXT YEAR??? I gotta wait for next year to taste their mooncakes!!!!

Disappointment.... but still we went down to Raffles hotel to get their version of champagne chocolate. Tasted alright for me though my family members think that it's nice.

I still wan my Intercon champagne chocolate mooncake!!!!

<3 to <3 Talk

2006-09-29T16:17:00.000-07:00

My mummy came to my room and had a heart <3 to <3 Heart talk. she always does that every now and then.

Mum: So any guys u like or any guys chasing after you?

Rach: No leh... i think i'm very busy these days. Got no time for it.

Mum: How come no guys ah?

Rach: Hahaha.. how i know... I'm quite busy ever since sch started. I mean if there is one, i dun mind. But if dun have... just leave it.

Mum: Yeah... erm.. take your time to look for one nice guy lor.

Rach: U know i always told Sherin that i wanna find a bf before my 21st birthday.. coz everyone have their partners to help out in the celebration. I also want.... Hahaha... too bad....Aiya... these days, all guys and girls outside all gt bfs and gfs... only ur 2 kids dun have...

Mum: Well, attached also for a while only. U see so many of ur frenz like.... (Identities are to keep it confidential =P ) they also changed their partners for a couple of times before wat. U 2 are just a little picky... That's y dun have

Well, i bet there is a period of time for everyone whereby you are really keen in looking out for a partner. For me, i wont deny that i do also but certain not now. Now, it's more like if there is, then good lor... If dun have, i dun really care!!!

I think my mum is getting a little worried for me and brother. Perhaps a little more for my brother... or perhaps not at all for both of us... Beats me!!! I mean liking for now... nah.... more like crush... If Adrian gets to see these, i think most prob he will be saying " how old are u liao... still crush~~~"

I'm just these kinda crushy person these days. I'm still young wat... Not even 21 yet!

He said that he gotta teach me some magic...that bring miracle to my life. Hahaha... teach me and i will pass on to my brother man.

Crowned as MR top student- Samuel

2006-09-27T12:17:00.000-07:00

Boo!!!

I'm such a toot! Out of all the classmates that i have, i actually made a pact with Samuel on our assignment which i mentioned before. And... Samuel is the top student in business law class. He got 91!!! My Gosh man.... 91... NINETY -ONE!!!!

I mean i nv even tot that 91 is kinda achievable at tertiary level... not even at A level i think. I dunno....the only time that i could ever get 90 plus was for spelling. Hahaha....

I sound really like some lousy student.

What's more to think??? I would just have my free meals for every assignment result coz winner gotta treat the loser ( I'm the loser!!!) a meal...

A time to breathe

2006-09-27T11:19:00.000-07:00

Last sunday, instead of being good, staying at home to finish up my assignment, i went out. Supposed to go some KTV session with my aunt and brother. by the time we finished our breakfast at delifrance, it's already 11 plus. Our ktv slot that we wanna go started at 11am. so we rushed down to Yishun Safra...

Not open!!!!

Headed down to town instead... the lady at cineleisure K box was kinda rude. I mean we reached there at 12pm and only left with like 2 hours to sing. We have to pay for the 3 hours slot yet only able to sing for 2 hours. It's not worth it.

And that woman...... she said in chinese " Next time please come earlier hor!!!"

She's so rude!!!

That's why i always prefer partyworld....

So from a happy customer to an angry customer.... we decided to catch Miami Vice. Pretty okie show... Not those really outstanding kind but good enough for u to pass some time.

And for now....

Done with all my assignments... FINALLY!!!

But i'm really tired.... having some headache due to lack of sleep. I seriously need some sleep. But still have tons of things to do... and

Shout out to Miss Jolyn: When are u free??? We are supposed to meet up to do up the invitation for my b day.

Mr CLK

2006-09-25T10:04:00.000-07:00

Last friday, when i was travelling back to office from harbourfront, i saw this car. It looked kinda familiar. It's jus next to me at the traffic light. I think i saw it some where, i even sit before. It's kelvin... didn't manage to say hi or rather he nv even see me in the cab.

I SMS him n told him that i saw him near blah blah blah... i know it's such an odd to meet at the traffic lights.... but his car is so eye catching to spot on the road. He thinks that i'm jesting.... he thinks his car is normal...

*faint*

I dun even know if i can afford a CLK in my entire life.

2006-09-21T22:30:00.000-07:00

I'm a little tired. I'm stuck at the last question of my management assignment and unable to move on.

However, something perks me a little. I got back my 1st assignment for business law. I got 73. Okie, wasn't a distinction or even an A grade but i'm kinda impressed already. I never even do this well for my A level days. Getting 73 is way beyond reach for me. My standard is like 60++ the most. Alright... contented enough... I was still mentioning that my assignment handed in are all trash. But it has proved to be a high quality trash

* grinz*

Argh... saw that there are so many overseas project, in Hongkong, Seoul, Japan, Shanghai, taiwan, indonesia and blah blah blah....

So envious!!!

All engineers are arranged to go. Too bad.... i can't help much. If not, i will volunteer to go man. Haha... Guess it will have a good experience working overseas. It's gonna be fun too.

Sigh....

Lester asked me a question yesterday. He asked how come i always take pictures with girls... am i more inclined to the same sex? Total rubbish!!! I mean I happen to meet up with them and jus take some pictures for every gathering. That's all !!! And i seldom go out with guys these days coz i'm kinda busy.

And let's say this loud and clear....

i'm straight !!!

It's wednesday today!

2006-09-20T22:17:00.000-07:00

I love saying "it's tueday today". Only my colleagues will know what i mean. Erm... It's because KFC has special promotion called Super tuesday!!! U can get the 8 pieces of chicken at a cheaper price. Well, i'm branded as the junkie queen in my office.

I remember saying about the target that i set for myself to finish my management assignment by WEDNESDAY. I emphasize that is only a target... so haha.... of coz i did not finish it. I only did like 2 out of the 3 questions. I'm starting on the last one soon.... I mean really soon. Let's set a target again!!! Get the 3rd question done by thurs so that i can get started with my business law assignment.

Right... i emphasize one more time, It's jus a target!!!

Read the news about the messy thailand now. Glad that i went bkk much earlier... if not i would have missed my shopping there. I would have been mad over the coup that hinders me from my shopping tour. Haha... my plan is to go there in Jan 2007. Still a long way to go... should not be affected.

I have another target again. Haha... since my birthday is coming soon and i wanna be a prettier birthday girl, i have decided to cut down on my potatoes and junkies. Exercise..... erm.... i might not the time to do so as you can see i'm always rushing out my assignment and gotta plan for my genting trip and my birthday too.

The main thing is .... i dun like to jog. Perhaps can squeeze out a little time for tennis! ( what can a session of tennis help much after slacking for so long...)

And if i succeed, i will help Mark out for the photoshot though he said that no worries, most of the pictures out there are already edited before. At least i wan more percentage of originality there. He can make me look slimmer, look taller, legs longer, waistline smaller...

Photoshop makes everything possible!!!

Blink weekend gone

2006-09-18T15:49:00.000-07:00

Friday

Lesson day. Well, it's a friday. It's a day everyone go out to havoc.... like what i love to say "let's go and paint the town red" What am i up to??? Haha... "painting the school red" instead. I'm stuck in school, attending lecture. I could have jolly well skipped the lecture. Thinking of the knowledge that the lecturer is imparting to me... my horizon will be widen... his hard work and the time spent to educate us to be a better person, i attended it....

Hahaha.... Ya right man.... u think i really think this way ??? Oh please....

The fact is

1) I'm expecting him to get us some tips on the assignment that is going to due next week.

2) No one ask me out on a firday night

3) Even there is, i'm too lazy and tired to go out... i jus feel like slacking

That's it!!!!

Yawning the entire lecture... got back home... took a bath and jus drop dead like a wooden log on my bed till .........

Someone called me on my HP in the middle of the night

To be exact, it should be around 1.20 AM

JOLYN!!!!

Right, she was telling me that she will be working just across my place over the weekend. Perhaps can meet her for lunch on saturday...

Saturday

Jolyn's phone call

1st call - asking me to meet her at 12:30 pm

2nd call- asking me can i make it earlier.... and settle the timing at 12:20 pm

3rd call- Asking me if i can make it NOW....

Fine.... hahaha... this girl....

So troublesome!!!

She said that it wasn't her fault... it was her fren who was changing the lunch time. Luckily, i jus stay across her workplace... if not, ....... hiak hiak hiak....

Working hard on my assignment.... till she came to my place to slack for an hour and left for some gathering.

right.... the boring assignment went

on...

and

on....

and

on....

Till

Sunday

Assignment again. Gosh... i'm leading a very boring life....

Meet jolyn for lunch again...

Assignment....

And it sound as if i did a lot for my assignment.... actually i think the progress was pretty alright. I managed to finish reading the materials and complete...

one and a quarter question out of 3 of them.

Mm... make it a target to finish this assignment on Wed so that i can move on to my business law assignment.

Mind u... it's jus a target. Dun expect too much from me.... the next moment u might be seeing me blogging... i rush out my 2 assignments again.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assignment fever is back!!!

2006-09-13T16:05:00.000-07:00

Was doing the countdown of the days to the trip to Genting with Wee Lian jus now... and i realised that my 2nd assignment due date is in 2 weeks time. I have to get my work started, not ending up like previous assignment that i have to rush it through.

Oh Gosh!!!

I thought that i could finish my 1st assignment in 1 week or a little more but who knows it took longer than i expected. Hence, i think it's wiser to start doing this week before it's too late.

I've done some readings for the past few days. Kinda impressive?? Dun praise me ok...

I kinda like my business law classmates especially tutorial... they are pretty easy to get along with and quite nice people... i mean other than Samuel and vivien, the other 2 girls are the one who i talked to in school. U know my class tend to have those extremely studious people who did their revision, readings and who knows finish thier assignment long time ago. They love to ask tons and tons of questions. I mean it's good to ask questions ... good way to learn... but far to long winded in question asking may not be a gd thing.

Okie, i'm trying to ask my classmates to go for my 21st birthday. I know it's kinda early to ask pple to go now whereby it's still a month and dunno how many weeks and days left. U can always refer to the birthday timer that i have set below. Haha... won't it be easier for everyone who are invited for my birthday to keep track and plan in advance?

so far, i proudly declare that i love school. There may be times that i drag myself to school... but still...

i LOVE....... school.

P/S: U can leave the assignment part out coz i never like assignment. Bleh!!!

-Postpone-

2006-09-12T09:36:00.000-07:00

My Zoo outing is postponed. Sigh... Sherin has to work on this Saturday and will only able to knock off at 2pm. By the time she meet me, estimated time will be 2.45pm and travelling down to the zoo, reaching there and pay 20 bucks for the entrance + tram rides for that 2 hours only before the zoo called off the day.

I was so excited about my Zoo outing... but now.... gonna postpone. I thought i would be fun going there, even before going me and sherin were giggling away on what are we going to do down there, seeing what animals, who we can ask to go with us, taking lots and lots of pictures.

Boo... So disappointment. I tot i would be able to enjoy myself this weekend. Zoo outing supposed to be a entire day programme. SO.... we decided to postpone to next month most probably after my birthday.

To replace my zoo outing, I've got another programme. Wahaha

Friday

Office was quiet last friday. Everyone seems to be out for some reasons and only left with the pathetic few ( that include me) And finally, one of the engineer who had ended his contract, came back to do his exit interview. I did the exit interview and had a chat with him.

*grinz* Didn't know that he noticed me since he came for interview. Hahaha.... i mean he didn't say that but was saying that when he jus started with his contract, i was so quiet. I mean i jus started not long too.... now obviously, i'm so much nosier. And he told me he know i jus started before him coz he saw my name in the visitor list. OH!!!!

Haha...headed to school after work... It's friday, everyone is going out and i'm going to sch... Feel like some kinda loser man. Sigh.... naturally, i was very very very tired... keeping yawning in class.

And to keep me awake, let's see what Samuel did to my course notes...

Take a closer look, he even sign off...

Saturday

Met up with my old fren, Cyn. I know her for almost 8 years. 1st met was in sec 1 days and we became very close and we went into different classes in sec 3, that's when we started drifting.... I truly believe that i know her since very very long ago. Hahaha... perhaps since the day she was born... Our birthday are very close, jus 4 days different. Our IC number are very close... and the best thing is we were born in the same hospital !!!

Supposed to be at Clementi at 2.30pm and both of us ended up late. I wanted to bring her to binjai park for Ivins Ivins, my favourite Peranankan food but she said it was pretty out of the way, so we ended up in holland V again. We talked and slack for hours....

took pictures....

Cyn- One of the top student back in sch days.... certainly not those nerdy kind

Thinking of places to go....

Saw this Audi... OMG... It's so nice. I wanna own one too!!!

both of us are kinda no life pple.... we got no idea where can we go....

landed in LOT 1

Rounded up our meeting after 5 years with photos....

The feeling of meeting up my old frenz is great.... at least i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Top fav. Pic of the day

Sunday

Went for my facial and walked around at the people's park area. WOoo.... got so many things to see... and the clothes there are getting some kinda trendy too. Pretty tight in my budget... i only can see but cannot buy...

* Sob Sob*

I've got too many upcoming programmes that i need to save up now....

Hence, i know what i wan for my birthday... Get me a FAIRY GOD MOTHER!!!

Zoo Outing

2006-09-07T13:40:00.000-07:00

This is my "Medicine" for eyes

Left my office in the afternoon as i've got an appt with Dr Leonard for my eye again. My eye has fully recovered, just that cleansing has to be done twice a day for around 2 months time. So troublesome.... So pple out there, please take good care of your eyes!!! Okie, tok to Sherin on the phone and we have decided to go for an outing.... That will be

...

Our ZOO Outing

Date: 16 September 2006
Time: To be advised
Assemble Area: Choa Chu Kang MRT
Participants: Rachel (That's me), Sherin.... and...???

I was so excited about it.

I mean i cannot remember ~~

when was the last time i stepped into Zoo?

When was the last time i saw the elephants, lions, tigers, monkey, polar bears and many many? When was the last time i saw the famous star of the Zoo - Ah meng?

When was the last time i sat on the tram in the Zoo?

When? When? When?

They were all in my primary school days as far as i remembered. I even went to see how to get to the Zoo. Bear with me man... though i'm 100% Singaporean, i never been to zoo at most 5 times in my entire 20 years. I need to do my "homework" on how to get to the Zoo, what's the latest highlight of the Zoo, the entrance fee, the tram charges, the opening hours...

Map of singapore Zoo

and know what... Simon asked me " why you wanna go to the zoo and scare the animals???"

Haha... what to do... i'm looking forward to my Zoo outing... Anyone wanna join us???

Weekend forever seems so short!!!

2006-09-03T08:21:00.000-07:00

Saturday

Went back to office for meeting on Saturday. Ended ard at 1++ and went for lunch together with Wee Lian and Rajes. It's been a while i ate at the Hawker centre which is situated opposite Harbourfront. I still remember those times whereby i was temping over at this furniture shop at harbourfront. I would always meet up with Sherin before we start work. Time flies... that's when i was 17.

Half a day jus wasted like that. Headed back home for a nap and met up with Wee lian again at 6++ for tennis. Boss came and pick us up at Clementi since he was on his way back home. I wasn't in the mood to play tennis that day. No idea was it because i'm used to playing tennis under the sun... or i haven't been playing for tennis for some times?

*shrugs*

My mood to play tennis came very late.... when Wee lian and boss were already exhausted, i were full of energy to play. I'm jus weird. Ok.... i guess everyone is tired of me saying where i'm going for dinner. No need to continue reading or even u close ur eyes u will know where i went...

It's none other than Holland V - Essential Brews.

I told u it's a weekly hangout place for me. We were there for hours... seemed to have a great time talking about school days. Wee Lian was the Head prefect for her sec sch and I were the Vice head prefect for my sec sch. U know... we started exchanging those things that we, prefects, used to do in school... and talking about my boss's school, St Andrews. Talked about how lucky SCGS is... whereby they have SJI and ACS ( Barker) so near to them, the love bridge of the St Pats and Katong Convent... Imagine we talked for hours until 1 am about our school days, bringing back those good old days.

Memorable!!!

Sunday

As promised, i visited Jolyn's stall at Holland V again. Yes... Holland V... Let me stay there man... to save the trouble of travelling. * GrinZ*

Reached around 2++ ... Weather was terribly HOT and Jolyn together her frenz who rent the stall together have to start the stall from 10am to 7pm.

Miss Jolyn's flea market @ Holland V

2006-09-01T14:55:00.000-07:00

Rise and shine...

I have difficulties waking up this morning coz i'm really kinda tired. TGIF... but i got school later. =( Though got sch, friday does make a diff as in the feeling of weekend is coming. It jus simply brightens up your day that much. Tmr still gotta go back to office for meeting... then my weekend will be shorten by half a day.

Assignment finished... jus gotta wait for the outcome certifying if it is trash or not. Haha... I shall not demean myself. I did put it my slightest effort to do it though i think i could have done better if i have revised or read through the notes. Well, a pact was being made between me and Samuel. A pact for our TMA... if either party wins, the winner gotta give the loser a treat. We shall see....

And see the new age paper clips... and what i have done to them....

I'm so motivated to study now!!!

My Messy desk @ work

Take a second look what do u see?? Yan Yan ...

Disappearance of Rachel

2006-08-31T12:39:00.000-07:00

I've not disappeared. No worries... still breathing here...

Okie Joan... I'm updating my blog now. U know, i've been kinda tied up with my assignments. I were rushing out all my assignments and the best thing was i wasn't discipline enough. I told myself i had to settle them before i decided to go out. I pushed away the shopping spree on last saturday afternoon but couldn't resist the temptation to take a break to breath the fresh air outside. It's an excuse i know.... but i jus feel like going for some slacking session with my buddy. Back to my favourite place - Holland V for stingray.

I even thought of going for a game of tennis or a Karaoke session on Sunday, assuming that it should be fine and able to rush out my work on time. Thanks god... i didn't go for either of them and do my work at a extremely slow rate. I was doing my assignment in front of the TV. How productive can it be??? At least, it show a little progress after that many many hours. I never expect my assignments actually required so much time to spend on. It took me days to do 2 of my assignment, writing 2 business memo and around 3 essay to do. Just 5 questions and it took me ages!!! Luckily, i never tot that i'm some kinda smart alec who can finish my work overnight. Thanks god, i finished them on time. I think i handed in some kinda trash!!!

I have burnt so many nights of midnight oil to finish my work. I'm so shagged man... dark rings getting darker than ever. I need more sleep!!! And what come along??

BAD weather

It's been raining these days especially when i wanted to go down to caltex house to pass my tutor my assignment, it was pouring heavily. One hand with umbrella and one hand carrying my bag which is full of stuffs and that thick book- Singapore business Law. I was so scared that my assignment will smudge. I wanted to go down to Caltex house by cab... All cabs were either hired or on call. I tried calling for one... i can't even get through the line man. Perhaps it's due to the bad weather or wat.. i dunno... my SMS dun seems to be working for a few hours and back to normal after some times. I took a bus to harbourfront, having this foolish thinking that there would be more cabs there. I waited half an hour at the taxi stand and only 4 cabs came.

My gosh!!!

I'm supposed to reach caltex house by 7.15pm to pass to her. I took a MRT down and it took me only 15 mins. I was late and gotta walked over to the Bank of China to give her instead of Caltex house. I was really tired by then and still gotta rushed back home coz it's my beloved brother's birthday.

Happy 24th Birthday brother!!!

Haha... and his 24th birthday on this very day... something happened.

That lady that i have long long time never mentioned....
The woman who gave me a big headache when i was working back in hotel...
The woman who treat pple like trash and scream at pple as if she has a built-in loudspeaker in her body...
The woman that has been branded as my step mother....

Yesterday was the last day of her employment. She got terminated!!! I told my ex-colleagues in hotel that it must be my brother who has made the wish for me and it came true. Hahaha... Everyone is grateful to my brother.

Busy day yesterday.... Have to attend conference in the morning and virtual classroom in the afternoon. U can imagine I'm just like a bee... flying here and there!!! I wanted to relax a little after work and jus nice... my bestie beast, Sherin, called me. She wanted to ask me if i wanna meet her after work.

Why not??? I wanna relax a while though i have tons of stuffs to be done. Time is insufficient for me. I used to think how come pple will be racing against time. This has never happened to me before. Okie... maybe is the assignment that i need to race with time. Met Sherin at the bus-stop near her place n went down to beauty world to return her "R-rated book" which was about gays, lesbians and sex from the rent and sell book store. I still remembered during school days, i often go there to rent books and ended up buying them coz i did not or too lazy to return the books.

Walked around the shops at Beauty world... Very few pple over there .. and yet some of the shops, they are selling their things at a high price. I think this makes their business even worse. Anyway, the clothes there aren't kinda impressive too.... And there we saw a shop that caught our attention!!! We were happily viewing the things for 1 entire hour without being chased out.

It's a Stationary shop!!!

I got no idea why we seemed so fascinated with the stationary. I mean for all who go to book store, they will know that Popular bookstore no longer allows their customer to test/ try the pens. They have packed the pen into some transparent plastic bag. We no longer enjoy the privilege to test on the different colours of pens, highlights and the different types as well as brands of pens. I totally dislike the idea!!! And this stationary shop there still allows us to try the pens and what adds on to the "beauty" of the shop is.... they are selling the pen a little below the market price.

Practically, the both of us almost ransacked the entire shop for that one hours. Sherin is even worse. I think she has tested almost every single pen that is available in the shop and gotten only 6 pens in the end. Out of the pens i got, i kinda like the cutie miffy pen. U know miffy??? That dummy bunny??? It looks kinda Tootz... Main point is the pen is cheap, it's cute and it's so smooth to write.

For those who dunno how does Miffy look like...

Dragged that beast out of the shop before she's going to buy the entire shop down. We went to Liquid kitchen which is located on the opposite side of the road. Would have taken pictures there if i brought my camera. I can't depend much of my HP cam u know... ( My blog is jus full of words these days ) Like the layout of the place, like the atmosphere of the place, like the way they decorated the menu, like the way they present the drink, like the drink that i order.... but i dun really like the food... not as in it tasted bad... it's not too bad....

Not the quality i'm referring to but the quantity... Some of the food they serve very big portion and some of the food that they serve the portion seemed small. Okie... i'm referring to the shrimps platter that we have ordered. It's jus not satisfying after eating bits and pieces of the shrimps and we ordered the another dish which came damn big serving. I dun sound like some big eater, do i???

Mm.... i still like Essential Brews!!!

My assignments are due soon!!!

2006-08-22T22:21:00.000-07:00

I'm blogging in random... my title dun suit my content of this post... So jus bear with it. I'm posting what ever that comes to my mind. Could simply leave the title out... but i think it looks nicer with a title for every post.... Nvm... i dunno what am i uttering ...

Well, back to the topic of assignment... I can't imagine there are so many things to read about for my 2 assignment which is due very very soon. I have yet to touch on a single question. I'm gonna be in some deep trouble this time... have to rush them out.

I'm not sure if i know how to do them. It would be better if there is someone to discuss about it. At least for the time being, no one to do so with me.

I tried to make an effort to study on last sunday. I headed down to KAP Mac to study.... AND...... it was full... crowded with pple to study there. Since when KAP has become such a hot spot??? Though during my school day, KAP was packed with students but not to the extent of being full house... not a single place to sit. Fine... headed down to Beauty world instead... was packed with students there too. At least, it's not like KAP.

Nevertheless, there's a series of events that took place that bring my smile back. The Problem no longer a problem and i wanna have a big shout out to my buddy, Sherin. A big huggies and *MuackZ* She's there for me when i'm troubled this time. I totally appreciated that effort made. It's be so long where she stands by my side for problems and certainly, it feels great to have someone ard. Hope that i dun sound like some lesbians... hahaha...

2006-08-18T23:54:00.000-07:00

Went for my follow-up appointment at Eye centre today. Doctor said that my eye is recovering very well. Infection has reduced by 95%. Last lap to go and there, it comes back my beautiful big eyes. ( Hahaha... i wasn't the one commenting about my eyes being big and beautiful. It's my doctor who said that... )

Gotta go for another appointment 2 weeks later....

School today again... poor me... i mentioned that i made some frenz previously but that was for the different module. For today's, i'm kinda alone again. I hate the feeling man + rachel isn't in some kinda fantastic mood today... it jus makes me feel even more down to drain.

Was in the lecture jus now. Brother msg me and mum called me to see if i want them to fetch me from school. In my normal days, i would have happily agreed with it though my lecture ended late. Will ask them to wait for me for a while. I'm unhappy about certain issue with my mum and brother that i told them i will go back home myself. I jus wanna be alone!!!

Saw my tutorial classmates when i was walking to the bus stop, would have smiled to them though i dunno them yet. I jus pretend i never see them. Seriously , i dunno why i have done them. Feel so rude of myself. Well, they never smiled at me either... at least that makes me feel better. Anyway, feel so sorry about that... i'm jus pretty unhappy today.

Assignment gonna due very soon... will see if i still have the energy to do some read-up later. If not, gonna start my assignment tomorrow. Would have prefer to do with someone... at least able to have some discussion over it but... it jus seems like i have to do it alone for this time... Hopefully for the next assignment then...

Where should i go and study tmr?

King Albert Park???
Holland V???
Home???

Let me think about it... Where ever my legs bring me to~~~

Pissed me off totally!!!

2006-08-17T15:00:00.000-07:00

For those who know me... u will know my character to a certain extent.

U know i'm not someone who will shout at pple...
U know i'm not someone who will start off for a quarrel...

Well... this old man... he's an engineer. All the while, i dun really kinda like him coz he's really one of a kind. Despite of sending him email with all the information, he still like to ask all sorts of stuffs about the email. I mean it's really irritating but i still provide him whatever info that i could.

And what he did today.... Such an Asshole!!! He did something wrong today and the best part is through the tele-conversation that he and the other lady made, (she's smart) she use a speaker phone and boss was jus beside her. And whatever he has done, he said that u can ask boss... he knows. So my boss heard that and screwed him up!!!

Getting screwed doesn't mean that u can raise ur voice at me over the phone. I called him to inform him about some issue. I was using the speaker phone too. And what he replied was..."what? what? what?" At this point of time, i think normal human beings will have this thinking that maybe he can't hear me coz i'm using the speaker phone. So.. i lean towards the phone and increase my volume to reply what i have said. God dammit!!! He shouted at me!!!

Who the hell is this guy man??? He's jus an engineer... some big shot??? I need not report to u... Please make it clear man.

I'm totally pissed off by him!!!

Well, many people heard him shouting at me and when boss came over, i told him about the incident that i was pretty unhappy about. Of coz those who heard that, added on stories to it.

Opinions, comment and complain!!!

Fine.... the next day he treat it as nothing happened. I'm not too sure if that's because my boss has spoken to him or what. He seemed nothing has happened. Well, i jus go along with it , pretending nothing has happened. Obviously, this is just what u see on the cover, as i told my colleagues... is never gonna be the same, scar remains.

Upcoming Stress!!!

2006-08-15T20:18:00.000-07:00

After the JB trip, i decided to trim my hair coz it's kinda thick and long. So i went down to the hair salon happily to trim my hair... everything was okie... even after cutting... coz they did the blow-dry for u. Hence, my hair looks kinda nice after trimming.

The next day, after bathing, my hair looked very very messy.... the edges started to curl out because the hair dresser had thinned my hair too much. Orh, this makes me kinda regretted to trim my hair.

Oh ya... i'm no longer a lone ranger in school. Gotta know some pple in my tutorials. Hahaha... finally!!! And did saw some of them attended the same tutorials for both modules. Hopefully everyone will be nice to get along with. Looking forward to school except for the Assignments. I'm in deep shit. Assignment gonna be due in no time and i have yet to start on it... no idea how to start on it... and still have tons of materials for me to read through 1st before i can attend to those questions. GOSH!!!

Stress!!!

Durian + shopping Trip @ JB

2006-08-13T20:06:00.000-07:00

Woke up early in the morning and set off to one of the pickup point, Causeway point. Well, everyone was LATE!!! Exclude me out of the late-comers list... I wasn't late... in fact, i was the one who reached there first. The coach supposed to arrive at Causeway point at 7.30am and due to the massive late comers at the 1st pick-up point which is located at my office, the coach only reached at 8++.

Luckily, we chartered the entire coach. If not, the coach would have gone long ago, not able to wait so long for the late-comers. My primary schoolmate, Huilin, tagged along in the trip, together with her 2 other frenz. Seen before during her 21st birthday party, but did not talk much. Appreciated for their attendance in this trip though one of them can be really sarcastic. Fine, I didn't take it to heart!!!

On the coach after clearing the customs

My Pri schmate - Huilin and Rachel

My colleagues- Rajes, Wee Lian and James

We headed to the Woodlands checkpoint... i think coz we were kinda late ( reaching on the peak hours), the custom was quite crowded. Have to queue... Something i dislike when i'm travelling, queueing for my passport to be scanned and chop. By the time we cleared the customs ( singapore and Malaysia), our stomach were making noise. We had reserved our empty stomach for durians and other fruits.

The walk to the durian Plantation

The basket of durians that we ate!!!

Kids playing with the puppies

At Kukup fishing village, we went for a boat ride, touring around the area. Got onto a kelong for 15 mins and show us different types of fishes and marine animals living in the water. To be honest, i wasn't interested with it. I mean my uncle has a kelong in singapore and it used to be one of my childhood days that i could remember spending on. I dun stay there or frequent there when i was young but perhaps it's jus few months once and it jus kept in my memory very clear till now. My cousins , brother and me used to fish for small fishes. Not that we want to catch small ones, but we were jus unable to catch the big ones. Maybe big fishes only meant for adults to catch or they are smart... they jus won't get trick by the small little kiddies. I simply can't think of any idea why we were only able to catch baby fishes.

I never tot that sea horse has WINGS!!! LOL!!

Loan Shark on the Boat???

After the boat ride, we had our lunch at one of the eating place there. Food was so-so... and was very hot. The sun was bright and the fans were not strong enough. Everyone perspired a lot while we were eating. We still had some time to walk around after our lunch. But practically what we did were to go near to the refrigerator which placed all the can drinks and opened it to enjoy the " air-con". Smart right??? Haha... i was in search for my fav agar agar there. I told everyone that the agar agar is nice but no one seemed to be interested except wee lian and rajes. James tried and said that it's nice... See.... i told u pple it's nice...

We returned back to the coach and had our nap while travelling down to Jusco for some shopping. I didn't get anything there. =( almost everyone got something there excpet me and wee lian. We wanted to get some stuffs too but jus nothing caught our eyes. I will try harder for my next trip man.

Next... it's dinner time!!! We had our meal near the beach... so it was quite windy as compared to our lunch.

Photo taking time.....

What's andy and joshua donig below???

Joshua, Me, Andy

The big family!!!

IT's quite enjoyable. Hope for more trips in future. Perhaps an upcoming KL or genting or even a BBQ outing.

One day programme is never enough... When i was on the way back home, Wee Lian called me that they were going for KTV, asking me to join them. I went back home for a bath and took a cab down to Shenton to meet the gang. These group of engineers were so much noiser in the ktv than on the trip. They seemed to be so quiet and back to their usual self at the ktv, talking rubbish , crap. Sang till 1++ ... Andy and Paul were the assigned one to send me back. Thanks Guys....!!!

NDP - Happy Birthday Singapore!!!

2006-08-10T10:27:00.000-07:00

Out of a sudden, I'm lost of words. I do not know how shld i begin. Let me think....

Okie.... i used to go to NDP every year during my secondary school days. Of coz i'm not there to participate in any performance. I were there to experience the crowd, the cheering, the screaming, the shouting, the noise and the celebration. My brother kinda likes NDP last time coz they have cute pretty JC/ Poly cheerleaders. Until a point of time, i think they are too young for my brother.

For this year, i think i shld make it a point to go for this is the last time NDP is gonna held at Kallang stadium. ( Though with my infected eye and flu... ) Drove and parked near to the Kallang MRT. Met up with my aunt, uncle, cousinS and their gfs... Everyone was wearing white and red except me ( I'm in blue) and my cousin, joshua( He's in yellow) We were the outcast!!!

Me and Mummy

We squeezed our way through the crowd, making our way to the provided shuttle bus service to the stadium. I guess walking is faster than taking a bus there. It jus seemed to jam quite some times. U know what i encountered the enitre day was jammed. Be it traffic jam or "human jam" . Road were congested when we were in the shuttle bus on the way there. And even when we reached, it was congested with people, going through the security checkpoint, taking the goodies bags and getting into the stadium for seats. It's totally unbearable especially to a sick girl like me, blowing my nose evey few mintues, stuffing with lots of used tissue papers in her pocket.

In the shuttle Bus... SQUEEZED!!!

People walking to the Stadium....

The security checkpoint

Finally got out seats... we were at the GREEN sector. Not too bad, at least not much of sun at the place we were sitting.

My family- me, mummy, daddy and brother

3rd Aunt and me

The tiny red "ants"

The balloon and parachute performance

Half way of the celebration, my nose failed me once again. I can't take it and decided to walk out for have fresher air and to the toilet. I walked near to the rubbish bin and took out the TONS of used tissue papers, throwing into the rubbish bin. I think someone saw it, came over and asked if i were okie. Since he asked, i asked if he had Panadol to stop my flu for the time being and i was referred to the Medic. From the Medic, i was brought to see doctor. It's for free!!! I was issued flu tablets which was indicated " may or may not cause drowsiness ". I got no idea what's all that about. After all these, the medic walked me back to my seat. Thanks Mr Medic.

When the night falls

Here comes the fireworks....

Hello Mr Nathan

Me, brother, joshua and his gf

I'm made in Singapore

Infected with Marginal Keratitis...

2006-08-08T17:04:00.000-07:00

It's kinda bad... i mean my eyes...

My eyes feel kinda irritated yesterday but since they are not extremely red, i thought nothing much about it, jus a normal sore eyes.

And who knows....

When I woke up this morning, i almost can't open my eyes. It's damn pain. No idea why... and dragged myself out of the bed, seeing things using my right eye. Went to the mirror... gosh... my eyes were so red!!! And wait a second... What's that white spot in the cornea... okie it's slight bigger than a spot. What's that????

I decided to go back to office and clear my work before i headed down for doctor. Finished clearing at 11++ and went for doctor. The doctor scared me out man... he was saying that it was an unusual eye infection whereby i have perfect eyesight and dun wear contact lenses. My left eye was not " hit" by anything yet feeling pain. He was not so sure how deep the infection got into my cornea and refer me to Nation Eye Centre immediately.

I was told to be there before 2pm. I took a cab down and reached at 12.20pm.

Nurse: Miss, could u come back at 2pm? All the doctors are out for lunch.

Rachel: But i was told to come before 2pm and that's the timing for now, isn't it?

Nurse: Yes, before 2pm. U can come and 1.30pm to do your registration. That's before 2pm.

I tell u i almost fainted on the spot. Well, what she say is not wrong just that... it's so funny the way she phrase it. Called my mum about it and she was quite worried and rushed down to accompany me.

According to the doctor, i'm infected with marginal Keratitis. It will take me around a month to heal if everything goes well. Have to handle with care coz it will cause other areas of the cornea to get infected.

4 Days of MCs... will have a good rest for the week but have to go back for follow-up appt on friday.

1st day of school

2006-08-05T08:15:00.000-07:00

Reached school kinda early... With the directions that my brother gave the night before, i managed to find my way to the canteen to grab a drink before the class starts. Wanted to take a seat at the canteen,but it seemed kinda crowded at that time + i'm all alone... so i left for the lecture threatre.

And.... someone called me... not on my phone i mean... it's Jaslyn. Surprised to see her there... but we are studying different courses, naturally means that we are not the same class, same LT. Well, at least get to see some familiar faces.. certainly make me feel more at ease.

Yet to know anyone so far... so have been some kinda lone ranger. ( Got cheated by my colleagues saying that i sure get to know someone on my 1st day coz according to them, i have the face whereby pple will wanna befriend with. * Are u sure??? * But the fact is I know none!!! ) Everyone seems to register the course with their frenz.. everyone seems to know each other except me!!! = ( Maybe it's becoz i'm alone, i tend to pay more attention to the lecture. Hahaha... and more observant...

I saw this lady, a young one... who i gave me a "wow" impression. That's this guy who sit 2 round in front of me... from the side and back view, he looks not too bad. ( I dun really have a chance to see him on the front view... jus judging by what i 'm able to see) This lady walked all the way from the back towards him and asked " Anyone sitting?" Smart move!!! I mean it's kinda obvious that she wanna know that guy ( correct me if i'm wrong... but that's from my point of view) U know at that time whereby she came, there were still quite a handful of empty seats. 2 seats from my left and 3 seats on my right were all empty.

* grinZ*

Wee Lian said that i should learn from her. OMG... I can't imagine myself doing this!!! Give me a break man.

My school day starts from today...

2006-08-04T10:16:00.000-07:00

Gonna start school today. I know nuts about what am i supposed to do, what am i supposed to bring, where am i supposed to go... I've registered this course alone. No friends joining me... So this gonna make me being a TooTz later on.

Brother brief me through yesterday night. Where to print the lecture notes, where should i go for my meals before classes and so on.... Jus verbally kinda description he gave. I shall see how tonight.

I'm such a TooTz

2006-07-31T00:49:00.000-07:00

Blame it on me man. I'm such a Tootz. I'm supposed to watch Hookwinked with Sherin on last friday. We had agreed to meet on Thursday afternoon and immediately i went to book the tickets online. Dummy dumb dumb!!! I was even so happy when i booked the tickets, telling my colleagues i'm gonna watch a kiddy show the next day. I love Cartoon!!!

I rushed down to Plaza Sing on last friday coz the show was at 7.15pm. I managed to reach there at 7.05pm and the queue for the internet booking was quite short. After the short wait, it was my turn. I nv print out the confirmation slip that was email to me. Neither i know the confirmation ID. So i gave her my IC number and the card instead. She swiped..... and swiped.... re-swiped it... re- re- swiped it again. No records of my booking!!!

How could that be??? I remembered i did book the tickets. Even the manager came out and checked for me coz i insisted that i have booked. I'm not dreaming okie.... i really booked the tickets.

In the end, i gave it up and manager asked if we would wanna purchase 2 tickets on the spot. Fine with that too, jus that we will not be able to have gd seats. I still wanna to watch hookwinked at 7.15 pm. The manager told me " Sorry, there's no show for Hookwinked at 7.15pm. The last show for today is at 4++."

What??? 4+++... ????

Then where did i book my tickets??? I'm such a tootz man. I went back home and checked the confirmation email. Great job done man rachel... u got the right location, right timing for the show yet the wrong date... u went a day later.... u booked at the tix on 27 July 2006 and u wanna go and watch it on 28 Jul 2006.

And what came worse? I paid for a show that i did not even watch it at all. The online booking for Golden Village are not like the Cineleisure one. GV simply charge u once u purchase the tickets whereby Cine, the online booking jus jus serve as a reservation for the seats of movie and u only pay on the spot when u get the tickets. Wasted 17 bucks jus like that. I could have fully make used of it like eating my favourite stingray... + my favourite drink at Essential Brews.

Nvm... i got myself a new top that day and immediately changed into it. Headed down to Holland V for dinner at ard 9++. What else for me and sherin at holland V for dinner? Essential Brews ... Stingray... Essential Brews... Stingray.....

And..... it's the combo package- Stingray + essential brews for dinner that day. Went to the coffeeshop for our stingray 1st... by the time, we finished .... we realised that we were too full to contain any more drink from Essential Brews. Sorry... EB... i will visit u the next day.

@ Holland V

Waiting for Cab~~

2006-07-27T22:22:00.000-07:00

I have been so exhausted these days. Perhaps i'm jus lacking of sleep, tend to sleep late at night. My colleagues asked me if i'm doing Part time.... Part time as a Thief... LoLz... Stealing things in the middle of the night. That's y i'm so tired. Sense of humour they have. Well, as they say it's normal to see rachel being sleepy and tired everyday but now i'm to the extreme. Yawn every now and then. Hence, they kinda conclude that this is the unusual part out of the usual thing.

And guess what? For these few days, i'm lucky enough to have available seats once i board the bus to work. And it jus goes on like some kinda flying bus which brings me to my workplace once i open my eyes. I fall asleep once i sit down. Isn't that amazing???

Something came worse today. I woke up in the morning and was in the state of half sleeping half awake. Got myself prepared for work and went to the bus- stop.

1st event happened: I dropped my office key. It fell out from my bag. Luckily i heard the sound of it dropping on the floor.

2nd event: In the bus ( On the way to work), i'm sitting on the outer seat initially when the person wanted to alight. I turned to the side in order to let her come out. And the bus jammed brake. Nothing happened till this auntie said in chinese " whose wallet huh?" The other auntie said " izzit that student one?" and i answered " sorry, it's mine"

Wah, things keep flying out of my bag today... Conclusion is ... i should get a new bag with ZIP to secure my stuffs.

3rd event: I fell asleep in the bus. I opened my eyes from time to time, making sure that i nv missed my stop. I opened my eyes to see when i was nearing my workplace. The location was still at science park. 2 more stops to reach... No idea y.. i jus feel so sleepy that i closed my eyes again. Yes... Overshot.... i gotta walk a bus stop back to the one that i'm alighting.

Can someone jus knock me up for being so sotong?

I've been a good girl okie... I stayed up late to read books... that i will be studying when the sch term starts next fri. Studious right? Impressive? Never feel that way about Rachel before right?
