1st post of 2011! Happy New Year~ ^^

Hope this will be a great and marvellous year for everyone =) Especially me HAHAHA!!
'A new year, a new start, a new you'

Spent my last day of 2010 in Yuanzhis place with Justin, Yeewan, Suling, Bernice, Melissa, Shengda, Yaukuen and reuben~

It was kinda nice because i had never spent New Years Eve with my friends before

It was always just staying at home and playing my computer games haha, so thanks y'all~

Especially Yuanzhi for hosting, and the rest for attending and being there =)

Had steamboat+hotplate in the evening for dinner.

At that time Shengda, Reuben, Bernice, Yaukuen and Melissa weren't here yet, so we just ate 1st haha!

Soon, Bernice and Melissa came, followed by Shengda and Reuben. Yaukuen came at like 2am LOL

Played some funny card games and the punishment was drinking alcohol, too bad nobody got drunk la haha!

Counted down with the tv and Reuben suddenly said 'Skali channel 5 lag, then we late countdown, other people at 1 already we still at 5 sia' LOL

Then played poker, but since i didn't have enough money, Shengda bought in for me!

But in the end i lost la, haha, nvm nvm!

So i went to watch Yaukuen play dota~

Play and play and played till it was 6am, the time to leave for home!

Waited for Bernice to wake up since she slept at like 2am, and after she did, we left for breakfast at mcdonalds~

Reached home at 7.30am and slept till 3pm! I didn't bath, i didn't do nuts, i just went straight to bed haha!]

5 more days to Bangkok! Thursday

9 more days till the relese of O level results! Ch-yeah baby! I want to know my results so badly right now!

Usher in the New Year~

Thursday, December 30, 2010

Last post of 2010! Horray!!
And i dont have any plans as of how ima celebrate~
So sad right!!
Anyway, new year resolutions; 1) Get into a good poly course and enjoy myself! 2) Get fitter! 3) Stay healthy and as carefree as i always am! 4) Study hard in poly so that i can get into a University!
There, for now haha!
Back still aching from the sprain i sustained 2 weeks ago, haiz, i think the gym is stopping my back from recovering LOL!!

It aint polite to leave someone hanging, expecting a reply
When you're gonna reply 1-2 hours later~
If it happens once in awhile, its fine
But with you, it happens every day~

Time for a tight budget!

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Now i know what it feels like to see so many things that you want, but have to restrain yourself because you needa save money! I saw many shoes that i liked, many jackets that i like and many other items that i liked, but well, cant buy any of them yo!
Need to save for my Bangkok expenses!
I think im into jackets now haha!
Went to town to catch 'Meet the Parents: Little Fockers' with Yuanzhi and Justin today.
But on a last-minute, Sheng Da came along secretly. Secretly because i didnt know that he was in the same hall as us until the show ended and he turned around because he was sitting infront of us~
The movie was cool, Jessica Alba was smokin HOT, i rate it 4/5! Its a very funny movie, with relations to the 1st 2 episodes, so everything makes sense if you've watched the 1st 2~
Justin bought his Vans shoes and we headed to dinner @ 313s Food Republic~
Had dinner and Sheng Da bought a whole lot of food! Bak Kut Teh, Char Siew, Chicken, Sio Bak, i think total $30+, all for us to share, so generous right!
Felt abit paiseh because its not his 1st time treating us, hes actually treated us to food quite a number of times before, so yeah~
Headed home soon after dinner and arrived home at 11 i think...
Today pasted very quickly haha, and i have no idea why!
Oh, saw Noel, Bernice and Melissa @ Far East Plaza too, they were going for Medicure?

The time of 'missing you' is over
No being trapped in your words'
I'm sorry, you got the wrong number~

Malaysia Trip! Cast: YZ, YW, SL & HL

Monday, December 27, 2010

My meal, i think it was called 'Grilled Ginger Chicken on a Stick' It was beautiful haha~

Lunch @ some sizzler restaurant, its super cheap in M'sia, the meal Yeewan was having costs only SGD$6.50+, excluding Tax and SVC~ Mine costs the same

Yosh world~

Woke up at 10.15am from Yvonnes and Sulings calls!

Took my shower, got dressed, prepared my stuff and at about 10.50, i was ready to leave my house! My dad gave me some Malaysian ringget, about RM200, which was equivalent to SD$90+

Went to Yvonnes house first because she needed to iron her family's clothes before leaving, so hardworking right! My family doesnt even bother to iron a single piece of shirt, except for my working shirts, haha! Not even my school uniform kay, never even ironed it once~

I was the first to arrive at Yvonnes place, so watched some TV while waiting for Suling~

When Suling arrive, Yvonne got dressed and we were ready to leave! Oh saw Yeewans younger sister and she doesnt like chinese too, yay!

Met Yuanzhi at the bus stop infront of Marsiling station and took a taxi down to the Woodlands immigration point~

Yeewan is still using the old passport, therefore she isnt able to use the scanner *Easier and faster way of checking out*

After skipping the boring stuff, we arrived at Johor! I dont know what mall we were at, but it was quite cool, its the mall that is connected to the immigration via a linked bridge~

Ate our lunch as seen above and walked around the place, its actually quite nice, and the items there were relatively cheaper than in singapore!

Later, we headed over to starbucks to talk about our plans regarding the Bangkok trip, made a time table too! At about 8pm, we left the mall and headed back to singapore!

Went to watch Gulliver's Travels! It was a funny movie, and Suling enjoyed it so much that i had to constantly remind her that she wasnt at home and that she needed to maintain LOL! She was clapping in the theater, imagine that LOLOLOL!!! We watched the 3D version, and it wasnt all that great la, not much 3D events~

The girls took lotsa pictures with Yvonnes Cannon EOS, and i suppose that they're with Suling now~

Takashimaya's HR department called today to ask if i wanted to work tomorrow

Apparently a few of my colleagues agreed to it

But sad to say, i want to enjoy my life for abit before starting out again

I'll resume work as soon as our results for the O leves are released

Girls who aren't perfect shouldn't have the right to criticize other girls!

Especially if they aren't as beautiful as they think

Supper with Noel, Bernice and Melissa

Saturday, December 25, 2010

Presents from my department~

My Snowglobe from my manager~

Work today was simply awesome!
12/Hour for sipping some Cafe Latte and walking around the area, haha!
I suppose most people are at home celebrating Christmas, therefore not many are out there shopping~
Most presents have already been bought on the eve and such, so yeah~ Tomorrows the last day of work for this year, the 26th od december~
Time sure flies, it felt like it was just 2 weeks ago that i started to work, but its already been close to a month~
After work, i tagged along with Noel, Melissa and Bernice to have supper at Chua Chu Kang.
Its a coffee shop infront of the bus interchange~ Talked about a lot of interesting stuff haha, and once again time flew and soon it was 12.45 AM
Now they know my little secrets~
Noel and i were hoping that there was gonna be a last train or something but that didnt happen, so we took taxi home =( $14! Damn the midnight fare!
I sent Melissa home, she paid me ofcourse, i didnt have enough money LOL
Bernice walked home and Noel took another taxi~

Now i know what kind of a desperate person you are~
Its pathetic, a girl of your caliber should be doing so much better~
But what is this? You're still clinging on to that hope that will never bloom
So cheap, like a dog running after a cat, in which the dog always loses
I'm glad i didn't make any move, you're simply too cheap, too desperate and too naive

Today i met with a very high American customer!

Customer: Hello! Hold on, i've got a couple more stuff coming.
Me: Oh alright.
Promoter: *walks over with about 10 bags of coffee powder* Alright, 5 red, 5 yellow and 2 brown.
Customer: Oh yeah! Whos the man? Whos the man? You're the man!
Promoter: Haha, anytime!
Me: Alright sir, so it will be 5 red, 5 yellow and 2 brown, a total of 12 items. It'll be $160~
Customer: Okay! *Whips out a few credit cards and about 5 pieces of $50 notes* Umm, i've got both cash and card, i dunno which, i'll let you decide, which do you prefer?
Me: Card, definitely
Customer: Alright cool, card it is! Here you go~
Me: Haha cool! *Slots in card and starts packing up the coffee powder*
Customer: Oh lovely! Thats such a gorgeous bag! Im lovin it, lovin it, lovin it! Its so beautiful!
Me: Yeah haha, only comes once in a lifetime, it changes yearly
Customer: Yeah, its awesome!
My Colleague: Maybe if we charged you for the bag, would it still be good?
Customer: I wouldn't mind, bring it on, i'll pay for it!
Manager: Would you like a few more bags?
Customer: Oh no, its good, its a beautiful bag, im sure it'll hold!
Me: Alright sir, heres your card and your receipt, thank you so much!
Customer: THANK YOU! And have an extremely pleasant holiday ahead! Merry christmas to all of you~
Me: Same to you sir, Merry christmas!
Colleague: May god bless you!
Customer: Oh thank you! May god bless you too! Have a great day, bye!

LOL Super high!
Oh, and im like having free cuppachino everyday!
The coffee promoter is quite friendly, same age as me, so we get along quite well~
So i asked him to make coffee for me and he was like 'What do you want? Espresso?'
And i was like 'How about something more normal, like kopi O'
And he was like 'This is not a kopi shop hor, haha, maybe a cuppachino?'
And i was like 'Yeah that will do'
And he started making it, so free coffee! And theres sugar, milk, and every thing you need there, he told me 'You want sugar, stir-er, milk, all inside the cabinet, help yourself' LOL, AWESOME OR WHAT!

My talking hall colleage, Valerie and Yvonne keeps calling me short because im only 172, wa lao! I wanna be taller!

I'm not attending the Sec 5 Batch Chalet 2010
So if you're Sec 5 and you're reading this, yeah, im not going
Large numbers dont work for me
But i do hope it works out for the rest who're anticipating it!

5 more days till Christmas~
And im not working on Christmas, sad sad!
No 2X pay, argh! Ah well, nevermind...
17 Days till the Bangkok trip
21 Days till the release of the O level results
*Hell yeah, im so hyped for my results!*
But i've yet to really put my finger down on the course that interests me the most

The route you choose in poly can change if you make it to the university
Because in the U, you can choose to take up another course
So dont be all like 'Shit, now this choice will stay with me for life!!'
Because it wont, considering IF you make it to the big U
If not then i dont know LOL!

Best day ever!
Marcus was serving a customer in the afternoon
Suddenly the customer wanted a small carrier, so marcus said 'sorry we're currently out'
The customer started saying 'What? What kind of service is this? i want a bag also cannot give me?! I want to see your manager.'
Then i started giggling as i was next to him, and marcus started smiling!
Soon both of us were laughing! Then i managed squeek out 'Sorry but you can search us, we really dont have anymore'
Then the dumbass customer just took her stuff and walked away!
I think she launched a complain, but who cares?

Next, Demi told 1 customer that we were out of carriers, then demi said that we had no more
Suddenly the customer slam her box on the table and said some stuff, probably the same shit like 'i wanna see your manager' haha, the people are so funny in taka, I LOVE IT!

Today Liza got a complain letter, i dunno who it was from, but it complained about the cashiers being very distracted while doing our job. LOL, because we were all playing!
So far no crap has happened to me, hopefully none will~

Then today, Regina, my senior met with a troublesome customer, then when the customer walked off she said 'Nahbeh, kanina waste my time' LOL, i was quite surprised
Then Imp had to put back stuff because the customer last minute dont want, and imp was like 'Kanina, dont want still take' behind the customers back, seriously everyone is so funny all of a sudden!

One important thing i've learnt while working
Don't care about too many things
Care also earn $6 per hour, don't care also earn $6 per hour
So when people scold, dont care la, still $6 per hour!
Why bother so much with it, you're not gonna earn more

People live their lives bound by what they see as 'right' and 'true'
Thats what they call reality
However, 'right' and 'true' are nothing but vague terms
Reality could all turn out to be an illusion
Everybody lives by their own assumptions of what they think is True
So what do you see with those eyes of yours?
Is everything you feel even real?
Because i how i felt towards you isnt real at all, it isnt my reality

To continue in Takashimaya or not? That is 1 big question!
A few of my colleagues went to extend their contract today, so im wondering whether i should too.
The thing is, i want another job, for another type of experience!
But im already used to it here, and i've already made many new friends, so its easier since i know the people here.
And whats more is that i have a confirmed spot here, unlike others where i have to go for interviews and may still not get the job...
So its quite a decision, only a couple of weeks more till Christmas, so i'd better decide quick...
I guess its a high chance that i will continue, the odds are quite high.
Oh, and can see Valerie more too, wahahaha!!!
Marcus will not be continuing, neither will Demi, so anybody care join? Haha~
Current confirmation: Brandon, Dai Jie, Ai Choo and Valerie

V for Vendetta is a great movie! 4/5!

Work has been good, just that im starting to feel the fatigue haha!
And fatigue is not good!
Today all of us handed in our punch cards, yay, 10 days of pay, come to daddy!
It should be about $480 or more~ The 13th of each month is pay day for part timers~
Today Valerie didnt work, i think i miss her comedy haha!
Come to think of it, i always hang around with the same people, either im with Marcus, or im with Ai Choo and Valerie.
I guess they're the only few that are often in the same shift with me~
I think Kar Wee and Valerie will be the 2 people i will miss most after i resign, oh not forgetting Evelyn, Teck Sun, Sam and Liza (Senior, senior, supervisor and manager respectively)
Kingston and Leon will be the 2 people that i will definitely not want to miss!

Off day today!
Yesterday i was very happy because i wasnt in the same counter as Leon, the irritating shit bag!
Saw Shunski and he walked past me, so i assume he didnt see me. Definitely his first day, because its the 1st time i saw him there.
And i promise i wont take anything from my job again! Unless its really irresistible haha!
Yesterday i took a lightstick keychain worth $10, took 1 for Marcus too, so the total adds up $20!
Scared i get caught uh, so thats the last time!
But i have to say, this lightstick is really cool, sun light recharges it and it has a glowing lifespan of 10 years, so its no wonder it costs $10. Cool Blue is the colour~
Then i took pink for Marcus and he was like 'Walao of all colours, why pink! Why!'
But i did it on purpose so LOLOLOL!!!

One day, a boy asked a girl out on a sunny day

She said that it would depend on how her day was going

At the end of the day, the boy waited for her answer

But she said that she had something important at home

Her apology seemed genuine and sweet

So he calmly said that it was fine, though it wasn't the 1st time he got excuses

But do you know how idiotic he felt

When she leaked out that she was actually doing nothing at home?

Yes, he felt stupid and dejected, knowing that he wasn't worth even a small truth

Yes, her words were drenched in the venom of lies

So let that be the last time he tries~

I've been giving out chances everytime and all you do is let me down
And you can tell me that you're sorry but i don't believe you like i did before
You're not sorry, you don't feel sad about anything

Wednesday, December 8, 2010

The lingering question kept me up

2am, who do you love?

I wonder till I'm wide awake~

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you~

I see so many races in my job~ Indians, Malaysians, Filipinos, Indonesians, Americans, Russians, British, Africans, Japanese, China people

Seeing so many pretty, cute, sweet, gentle girls certainly makes my day~ =D

Seeing those mothers with black faces definitely makes my day rain LOL!

But overall, its all good, no difficult customers as of yet, so yeah~

Today a new guy joined my counter, Leon Tan, irritating little shit!

He talks crap every single minute!

His crap consists of 'Eh later you go lunch i go smoke!'

And i was like 'So what you want me to do?'

He even said he has a gang but his gang go hide due to the slashing case, pure bullshit!

Luckily he didnt say that to me or i woulda been super sarcastic, damn it, he pisses me off seriously!

Good thing hes starting to shut up when im next to him, maybe he thinks im some ahbeng, but i dont care, as long as he shuts up LOL! Im fine so long as it works~

When someone needs to be erased from your head

It needs to be done the right way

And now im living well without thinking of you

Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Okay, first off, i broke a few rules on just my 5th day of work LOL!
Firstly, i entered through the entrance of Taka and the blackass security guard apprehended me for it! He took down my name and card number... Whats wrong with going in through the security entrance? Even my senior Evelyn says its stupid, dumb rules!
Second rule i broke, exiting through the main entrance LOL! Havent been caught so dont care~
Third rule, never open your cashier more than 4 times a day by option, but i opened it like 10 times a day to count money! Bored mah!
Forth rule, lunch break is 1 hour, but i always stretch my break to 1hour 15minutes =D
Well, 15minutes aint gonna kill right? Haha!
Fifth rule, cannot take out your handphone, but do you think i care? No customers, take out see time/calls/sms lor~
Haha, thats about all i can remember now, i think theres more haha!

Afternoon shift kinda suck y'know! Taka closes @ 10PM, but we need to count money, do closing, key in sales and prepare your float, ask manager to sign your credit/NETS settlement, log off and off your counter and lastly go and throw your bags of money and records to the accounts department, all in all, it takes about 30minutes, so i leave at about 10.30PM! Yeah, late i know! They better pay me extra for this shit! Oh and today i got a free pen from taka, hehe! Lazy to put it back cause customer didn't want, so since the lights were all turned off, i figured 'oh well, i shall take you home!' and doink, in my pocket! Muahaha! $2.35 leh, not cheap, pilot brand~ Made friends with a few more people too!
Kar Wee, always joking with me cause he operates the cashier next to mine.
Kingston, im always asking him to shut up cause he talks a lot!
Ai Choo, also located at the cashier next to mine, friend of my new friend Valerie!
Oh and i like my job because i often see pretty girls at my counter, MUHAHAHA!!

I've tried so many times
But im tired of listening to your excuses
If you dont want to go, just say you dont wanna go
So now, i'll quit this game~
It ain't me who is messin up, its you~

The 1st 3 Days of work!

Saturday, December 4, 2010

Tomorrow, 5th of December, Sunday, is my off day! Yay~
Feet sore and leg thigh/calf aching whenever i arrive home oh~ I guess its a good thing that im being posted to the talking hall's gift bazaar, the staff are really friendly, colleagues are friendly, customers are friendly, aye everybody is friendly over there haha!
On the 1st day of work, a senior took me, her name is Evelyn and she is a Filipino! I like working with her because basically, shes very relaxed and calm, even if the queue consist of 10 people, she'd just tell me 'Relax, dont care the queue, just give the correct change can already, type wrong also nevermind' LOL, best! For now, i've only got to know 4 of my fellow part timers.
1) My partner under the same schedule as me, Demi
2) The guy who always takes over me for his afternoon shift, Brandon
3) The girl who is always very shy when i talk to her, Valerie
4) My joke partner, always talking crap with each other, Marcus
Most of the part timers are 16 leh and most of the guys are taller than me LOL, nobody i know now is of the same age as me in my department haha!
As for the managers, Lisa and Sam, both very friendly, they're like always happy-go-lucky one, calm people~ Even when i was 30mins late, they still didnt scold me, they just asked for the reason and everything was fine LOL! Next Monday - Thursday its afternoon shift for me, damn it!
Singaporeans basic character; 10% card discount period, everybody floods the counters LOL! Good thing the 10% discount ends on Sunday, tomorrow, and im off, muhahaha!!!

The 1st benefit of working is the money
The 2nd is the experience
The 3rd is to meet new people and make new friends
The 4th is that i dont have to see you forsaken face or hear your stupid voice for the whole damn day

Poem: Hes always there for her, but she never knows how he feels

He always puts her as his top priority, but she treats him as an average guy

He always comforts her, but she takes him for granted

He always gives hints, but shes oblivious to everything he hints about

He likes her, but she likes another

The 'other' isn't good for her, he knows it, but she doesn't

She knows that he likes her, but she doesn't care

So what will happen to her, when he finally gives up?

What will happen to her, when hes finally not there anymore?

Just like a Rose which loses its redness

It still remains a white rose, just like she remains with her friends

But it'll never be as beautiful, just like how he faded away like the colour of the rose

Labels: The rose better realise how beautiful the 'red' makes her
