TEEEEE-RED

[edited]
i'm so (quote sheri) TEEEEE-RED!!!
pampering myself now with a full body moisturisation and a Garnier face mask.
am meeting NIGUS oh my delightful nigus tomorrow morning!!!
at like 1045 (i bet they planned 11 but 1045 in case we're late, which i bet we will) for brunch before my work. (i'm going for work one hour later, 130 and leave one hour later, 930)
can't wait to meet my lovely girls. FULL ATTENDANCE! (:

but i'm so TEEEEE-RED! haha. non-DBA08 must be wondering what's TEEEEE-RED.
it means TIRED. pronounce in some weird way invented by sheri. "tea-red" (not red colour "red", but red as in "rerd". well, something like that!)


i'm taking like, NINE modules this semester. (thanks alot GEMs! why must we have GEMs. now i'm grumbling about it. haha. when yesterday i was so psyched about field lecture. the irony..) because i've French. but other people have like dance practices and basketball and table tennis training and all..
and i'm thinking of picking up a CCA somemore! i'll be flat-out soon i think.
and then plus W-O-R-K.
breathe carmen, breathe!

no, i can't.

cuz i just have THIS MUCH to catch up. look at my CA2 scores.
65 for PACC, 60 for ECONS!
i need to buck up.
and what with the upcoming tests and projects and CIP thingy and all the homework.
oh mann.
i am really dreading semester 2 already.

1 week down, 14 more weeks to go.

i don't really want to think about the other things anymore.

[edit]
Alex is DAMN KIAM PA.
he is TWENTY-FIVE and he bloody hell looks like OUR AGE:

ROAR. feel like punching him. (he didn't edit the picture. it was taken like that with imac at his outlet.)

Hey! Gorgeous~

was supposed to go to this closed-door event at paragon's Miss Selfridge with Claire Neo Wei Ling.
but the stupid Hwa Chong girl received FIVE BLOODY ESSAYS as homework so we had to forgo it.
and i can't go on my own because she's the one who invited me. ):
BOOHOOHOOHOOHOO.
but after school, the Hey! Gorgeous people called, and they're filming yaya!
gosh.
so xuan xuan & i (since i've got nothing to do) stayed back to watch Sandra, Sherilyn and YaYa do their dance routine. (in case yaya's really chosen for the final 3 and she has to perform)
stayed from 5-830+
even watching and giving comments is TIRING.
i can't imagine how tired they are... LOL.

8am lesson today! ITAB somemore! god.
and we skipped PACC lecture (except ling ling & dydy, our en voyeurs to copy notes down for us) to wait with yaya at FC6 for them to come and shoot her. zzz.
and i was so scared they'd ask me why i nominate her...

we were anxiously waiting and waiting and waiting. it's like, we can see them! (they were interviewing some other people 15m away from us and all of us were so freaking nervous.)
and when they finally came, we shunned the camera (and yaya) like they had super contagious diseases. half my ass was falling off the seat. and sandra had to gimme a push to prevent me from falling. *aiyo!*

after the filming, we went to watch their dance routine and gave them more comments before heading for our GEMs seperately..

P.S. and on my way to GEMs with audrey, we saw Ben & Fiona. i took photo with Fiona! although i'm not like a fan of hers. haha. poor Ben. i wanted to take photo with her but they were all shouting "last one last one!" i think many guys felt like killing me for snatching with them when i don't really even idolise Fiona.

my module is so cool because we don't have tests! it's ICA module so it's solely going to be based on 2 projects.
plus we're going to have 3 field lectures! which means we would be hitting chinatown, little india or asian civilisation museum or blah (the teacher named alot of plausible places he might be bringing us) for lectures instead of staying in classrooms.
HAHAHA. the prob is i wonder how i'm going to rush back to SB for 3pm's Character Development... -.-
xuan xuan's module will be teaching them photoshop!!!
HOW COOL IS THAT!
but the irony is, she doesn't have photoshop! wahahaha.
whereas i have, on both desktop (from monk's sister's CD) and Vaio! (haha. Vaio is preloaded with Adobe photoshop! neh nanny poo poo! so cool right! =P)
now xuan xuan is bugging me for the photoshop. pffft!


*dasmond koh!* -melts melts melts and i think xuan xuan and i would be inseperable because all melted into a pool already-
okok, *nat ho* i can hear sherlim swooning with nat ho's name...
everyone thinks xuan and i have weird taste. we're not weird. we're special k!

haha. xuan xuan and carmen forever! (:(:(:
LOL. random.

yay. we finished editing the pictures:


still got fiona's. i look too ugly. don't want to upload. hahaha...
tata! tmr working at Vivocity's Courts. stupid Alan.
feel like boxing and punching him.
(random thought)

i'm so god-damn addicted to online shopping!
>.<
love these two tops:

$13 AUS.
$18 AUS

super love these 2 tops. haha. i think everyone should know why!
especially the tube. but it's POLYESTER LYCRA!!! i definitely so cannot wear it cuz it's sucha figure hugging material!!!
dammit. i'm still thinking if i should get the T-shirt. =P
rah.

TIRED.
shall go to sleep now. will blog about today and (very importantly), tomorrow's Hey! Gorgeous filming tomorrow night.
tata.

M.A.F. 2007

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! (belated)

went for Rogue Assassin with Lester then handed in my punch card at Sim Lim to Alex..
after which i spent my m.a.f rotting in my room and behaving like a spoilt brat. (throwing silent tantrums at home because my mother tidied up my room. and i wasn't exactly thrilled about it. now i don't know where all my things are. and to say that she had my interest at heart is overstatement, she just wanted an excuse to start her over-protective-plus-over-paranoid thorough spot check for i don't know what. evidence of crimes?)

and so, what does a spoilt brat do at home?
she plays with candles and lanterns outside her window:

so prettaye! although there's no moon. how nice it'd be if i could see the moon through my window. miss my old house!

carmeny's pathetic mid-autumn festival.

kiss my mid-autumn festival goodbye. muah-*

i REALLY like this picture alot. nice right?

i pity the kids nowadays. playing with those dumb and idiotic electric lanterns that goes "deh deh deh deh deh deh" with stupid melodies.
my m.a.f in the past is ALL about playing with candles and PAPER lanterns.
ever experience burning your fingers with fire? (by accident of course!)
i did. i still have the scar.
ever experience the feeling of hot wax on your skin?
i did. and it's fun. haha.
ever experienced burning up a paper lantern by accident?
i did. scary though.

i think kids nowadays are so OVERPROTECTED.
to the extent that they never experience ANYTHING at all.
haha. parents fret over ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
boring.

met up with Doris today at Parkway.
xiuyi was supposed to meet us too but she backed out last minute because she was feeling low about her results.
BIG BEAR HUGS for bff! stop fretting. i know you'd do well. i know you will.

caught up with Bernard (my ex bossini in-charge) and Shah (my ex bossini colleague) while waiting for Doris. and met Gan Jia!!! (:
what a happy day.
all the travelling is worth it.

spastic photos from bus ride..
my hair looks terrible. so PONG. doris was covering her big fat pimple.

P.S. i wonder if it's due to stress, but why gan jia & doris have more pimples than usual?! and they have one BIG FAT ONE on their chin! haha. what coincidence.
okok. i think i can hear ling ling saying "zek ak!"

tata holidays ):

first day of Semester 2 today.
couldn't wake up although my phone was ringing off the hook(alarm)
my mummy had to pull away my quilt, my pillows, my bolster to wake me up before screaming until i got out of bed.

chionged to school without make up on except foundation. hahaha.
they were so not used to it.
started lessons lethargically.
PACC tutorial.
my results were disappointing. 65 for CA2. overall (40% weightage) 70.
so super disappointing. buck up buck up buck up!

slacked for 2.5hours. had lunch and chit-chatted.. catching up and gossipping and all.
went for Fundamentals of Marketing tutorial. zzz. BORING.
and then had another like what, 1hour break? because FOM was supposed to be a 3hour tutorial. but because today's only introduction, so it took 1hour plus instead.
slacked till it's time for Critical Reasoning Skills (CRS). oh boy, doesn't it just reminds us of GP?
we had to write a written response today for the teacher to gauge our writing standards so that he can arrange for us to go for either a workshop or do book record.

racking (wrecking) our brains on the first day of school!
hell tired and took the NEL train from Outram to Habourfront and then slept all the way to Serangoon.

my LOVELY DBA 08 friends.

aiyo, look like Auntie! ahahaha! (i know sherilyn sure revenge with those UNGRAM photos she has of me, but, heck! i shall attack her first. hahaha! -evil- )

(:(:(: Jun Xiang is right. Ling Ling and me REALLY VERY "NGAM".
(P.S. i only found out last night through Ling's friendster that Ong Jun Xiang was her facilitator during her first 3 months orientation at TJ! hahaha. caught up with Jun Xiang for a while during my break.. he said we sure very "Ngam"! and you're right Tarik! tsk tsk. )

there was this sudden UNGRAM photo craze... dydy got caught on ling's UNGRAM CAMERA. ya la, some people abandon Samsung den get new Sony Ericsson phone big deal lor. go around shoot people's ungram photos lor!
(haha. not that i'm really complaining. although i'm a Samsung fan, but i'm a Sony supporter too! tsk tsk. *sony craze*)

i scared ling ling take picture of me when i'm talking. so i covered my mouth. smart eh? caught on camera while talking hor, SUPER UNGRAM one lor.


haiyo.
i think i'm very versatile. LOL. very adaptable. hahaha. cuz you realize i'm typing in kinda singlish manner. spent too much time speaking in singlish at courts. =P
but all of a sudden if there's a ANG MOH customer my english become so fluent again.
LOL. die la. i think i need my own style. tsk.

first day of school... i am already beginning to feel the "taxing-ness" of everything. GOSH.
and YOU thought poly is easy life. think again!


it's like i don't know you no more...
well, what else can be said?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

last day of work at Courts Bukit Timah..

of course must take a picture with my lovely prettaye Karen!
we've been through thick and thin for these 10days (:
from being so pressurized by Calvin that we want to quit, to losing our punch cards and all..
seems like we've really been through alot huh. LOL.

aiya. my hand short den she don't like the angle lor. she want higher angle. hahaha.

proud to present to you, my Sony Vaio creation. hahaha. I, ME, MYSELF arranged the display of the Vaios!

tada! display of the b-e-a-Utiful Vaio CR11 colours, namely Indigo Blue, Aroma Black, Blazing Red and Luxury Pink. (Pure White was not on display. instead that was the TZ17 Champagne Gold)
Alan was going, "mmm.. good... VERY GOOD! good..." on Friday night when he came to spot check us. >.< Calvin (Manager) chatting with Stephanie (my IT supervisor)...

Nicholas the Samsung promoter. he was the nearest so i started taking picture with him. LOL.

Joanne. the nice Delonghi promoter who gave me one whole box of butter cake that she baked during the demonstration yesterday. hahaha. she's very nice and helpful.. (:

stupid wayne. the one whom i complaint about and wanted to take his photo secretly and aim darts at his nose. hahaha. ok la.. he was like much much MUCH better to me subsequently.. besides always laughing at me or teasing at me. at least he's not threatening me or what?
i was scolding him for eating INSIDE my Sony Vaio booth...

my dearest Enna (is not) Banana! (haha. inside joke.) the canon girl and the sony girl.

Ah Pui (Winson. he was at Comex too!!) Christopher and the guy holding camera (i don't know his name) chit chatting. the guy holding the camera was testing out cameras and he took a picture of me when i was slacking around and chit chatting (gossiping) with Enna! and he printed it out with the Canon Selphy:

it's quite cool actually. Cuz it's like 4R size and it's a post card template behind!! haha. coolios.

Ah Pui's stomach damn solid. really. i pat before. super solid. can hide 3 babies inside. tsk tsk. and i caught a SUPER UNGLAM Christopher. aiyo, no image le la. he and wayne are like the only "good-looking" ones at Courts... -.- shows how limited choice we have there. HAHAHA! (although Enna strongly disagrees and thinks Eddie is cuter. see what i mean about "chit-chatting" with Enna?)

Victor, the Samsung TV sales rep..

Ting Hui. (or rather, Kaine. or should i add "Prince" in front? LOL.) fellow classmate cum colleague for 9 days.

Benny! the Sony Bravia promoter. Leon didn't come. or else i can show you all the "watch-your-back" guy. HAHAHA.

GUESS which one is my wallet?

Me and Mani!!
i'd always sing "money money moeny, money money, it's a rich man's world~" whenever Mani comes within my perimeters.. hahaha. he kept complaining to me his neck very painful last night because i shouted to Raj (P.S. it's RAJ, not RUTCH. the way people at Courts pronounce names are SUPER MISLEADING) "Raj!!! Mani bully me!" and he arm wrestled Mani's neck. hahaha.

i was ordered to sit on the chair and LOOK after my 10 Vaios. Uncle Wong walked pass and i was looking at him den Calvin shouted, "eh! ask you took LOOK after your Vaios arh! you look at Ah Wong for what! Ah Wong so old you also want ah! Yan Jing Kan Ni De Dong Xi!"
aiyo..
den very bored ma. everyone so busy packing up, den i sit there like posing like that.. so i took random photos..
that's Calvin in the background after screaming at me. (he joking only la..) den the one in black is the weird weird Home Appliances promoter who tried to feed me cookies and specially came to my booth to say bye to me almost every night one...
the other guy in blue is Courts staff Jason from IT.

the nice and cute Delonghi promoter who bakes very nice cheese cake! he will always keep some nice food for me. hahaha (:

tada!!! my Courts buddy Qi Ren! (:(:(:
he's a lucky man. (everyone says so. cuz Karen so prettaye!)

Jason! he keep repeating i must feel honoured because he rarely takes photos.. tsk tsk tsk.

HP promoter, Andrew. he asked me for Alan's number. (aiyo, not my number?) he wants to join Sony! LOL.

Karen eating Paddlepop. why i dont have! (tell you hor, life is unfair. pretty people get better treatment.. seriously.. everyone so nice to her, but hor, all bully me one lor. TUT. kidding la. tummy ache so i didn't take the other Paddlepop which was specially reserved for both of us.. haha. but what i said above is SLIGHTLY true lor. haiz.)

WAYNE. i will always remember him. this mean poke!
scared the wits out of me during my first few days at work...

(the pink CR11 he arrange one somemore. he really like pink so much ah?!?! -puzzled- he say he no girlfriend..)

Lucas! (Ting Hui's Acer partner. Sony's arch rival at the roadshow. haha. but can't help it. he's damn kick-ass good-looking.) *bliss*

Chris. didn't really like her cuz i had the feeling she don't really like me. but after the first few days, it was okayyy.. hahah. not much interaction la. but since she's the IT staff, should take photo with her.. =P

Stephanie! the IT supervisor.


Raj! my boyfriend. hahaha. SUPER nice to me (since i was doing data entry). always helping me and checking if i'm alright with all the work, can always count on him when i need help or in trouble or when i have questions.
especially grateful he will always come to my rescue with Wayne or Mani. hahaha. the two BADDIES.

it has been tiring, but helluva fun like Comex.
learnt alot. experienced alot. made alot of new friends. seen alot of things.

i really like the job. because i get to go to different places and experience different things.
different working environment, meet different people, different system.
at Challenger was super slack. at Courts was super stressed.
i hope Sony still has other roadshows for me!

think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye...
remember me, once in a while, please promise me you'll try...

i hope i have left a fond memory in the minds of ALL the people i have met at the roadshows...
(:

too many emotions

i don't think i've ever experienced so many different emotions in a day before.

happy.
sad.
confused.
conflicted.
upset.
scared.
disgusted.
moronic.
cheerful.
laughable.


violent tremendous mood swings.
i'm suffering alot of these lately, because i can't get my mind off something.
one minute i'm deep in thoughts of all the things going on in my life, and feeling emo and blue.
one minute all the fiasco with the courts staffs just makes me forget about everything.
i just love today. i'm thankful for them because they make me laugh.
leon and all his interesting love stories. and leon fighting with the Sharp promoter just makes my sides ache. especially when he shouted "you watch your back!" and a customer who had his back facing leon got so frightened, all the colour drained off his face. it was HILARIOUS.

and then all of a sudden i get so blue talking to Karen and Enna respectively about all the troubles everyone has. it's really great heart-to-heart talk but it just starts me pondering about everything all over again.

and then after Mani & Rutch, i just get so happy again.
Rutch, "don't any any how touch her! she's my girlfriend ah!"
Mani, "sorry sorry sorry! aiyo, i dont know i dont know.."
Me, "ya! don't any any how disturb me! i got Rutch already..."
some courts staff walks pass with ice cream in her hands..
Me, "mani! i also want ice cream! take for me!"
Mani, "take yourself la."
Me, "i shy la. paiseh ma. take for me la!"
and i got a nice ice cream for dessert.
haha. cute.


and when i was eating and chit-chatting with Karen again, Calvin came. (the "boss"/manager)
i so freaked out and hid the ice cream in the Sony cupboard.
and i got so anxious and scared because i forgot to log out of friendster (enna asked me to view her friends and tell her who i think are cute/good-looking. so i had 2 tabs opened: 1 is enna's friends page, 1 is her friend Nicholas Ng's profile.) and Calvin was screaming who's friendster is it. he was asking anyone and everyone who's Nicholas Ng.
GOSH. thank goodness he doesn't know how to use friendster.
i was so freaked out that he might just click "home" or "my profile" and i would be so dead.
or i would land enna into trouble if he opened the other tab.
and half-heartedly i have to worried that my ice cream inside the cupboard would melt.
gosh. i'm so GRATEFUL that the IT manager doesn't know how to use friendster no matter how funny it sounds.

PHEW.
passed safe and sound.
and then i'd get so happy and blissful chatting happily away with anyone and everyone and recounting the exciting encounter with Calvin to Enna and her friend.

and as time pass by, Karen and i get so freaked out and scared because we only sold 1 vaio while Calvin set 5 Vaios each for us. and if we don't hit it he would not sign our punch cards for us.
BOO.

and then i got so happy that Calvin was so understanding and nice all of a sudden, and didn't reprimand us but still nicely signed our punch cards.
but after i got home i got so angry that my mum ransacked my stuffs claiming that she was packing my room for me.
YA RIGHT.
thanks a bunch. it's so neat i don't even know where my things are.
i think i must thank her now because it didn't look any much more different, except I DONT KNOW WHERE MY THINGS ARE NOW AND WHAT HAS SHE THROWN AWAY.

but now, after bloggin everything out, i'm just so glad it's sleeping time.
because i can happily and sweetly forget about EVERYTHING and just snore into my dreams... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

i need sherlock holmes and...

i'm feeling so horrible.

i have been doing NOTHING since 8pm but searching UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT HIGH LOW BOTTOM TOP INSIDE OUTSIDE UPSIDE DOWN for me and karen's punch cards.
i have NO FREAKING IDEA how the two pieces of vanguard material punch cards can go missing.
it can't have been blown away because it's VANGUARDS we're talking about.
it can't have POOF just disappeared into thin air.
it can't have walked away on its own.
I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT COME UP WITH ANY PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR IT'S DISAPPEARANCE.

and i feel so guilty.
because Karen had night class today and had to leave early.. i was so supposed to safeguard it for her and TADA. look what i've done.
was nearly on the verge of tears when i messaged Alex (instead of Patrick or ALAN especially). because Alex asked if i want to speak to Alan, Alan's with him. I just nearly burst out crying and i told him to tell Alan for me because i'm afraid i would start sobbing on the phone.

but Alex didn't tell him.
so i HAD to tell Alan somehow.. messaged him when i reached home. he asked how it went missing. after that he just asked us to find Calvin, (the IT manager) for new punch cards and make him sign for us.
everything wasn't that bad after all. but i still feel terrible.
and i'm feeling SUPER HUNGRY. i can't believe how the cards went missing when i didn't even leave the booth for dinner! i only went toilet twice. and walked around within 5m radius of the Sony booth.
god knows what happened.



so sorry claire that i wasn't as enthusiastic as i normally would be about the Miss Selfridge thing.
although i'm really psyched about it cuz it sounds so cool but i'm just not in the mood to go all gaga about it. haha.
but i know i will. soon. =P
and thank you enna (banana) for ur sms, i felt loads better.
and thank you to everyone from Courts who came consoling me because i think i looked so scary (on the verge of tears any moment) that many came to console me and tell me everything would be alright.
and i'm so so so sorry to Karen. i know i called to apologise but i think i can never apologise enough. i just don't understand how could all these happen. ): boohoo.
plus NO SALES TODAY SOMEMORE.


terrible day.
and it's supposed to be our 1year 3months anniversary.


good luck to yaya with her talent preparation.

I'M HUNGRY!!!

unfairness.
mummy don't love me no more. ):
SHE IS BUSY IRONING THE GAP BABY CLOTHINGS DADDY BROUGHT BACK FROM THE FACTORY.
while i'm there whining i'm HUNGRY. she's just ignoring me.
like hello the baby is not even born yet, and i'm here, BIG AND ALIVE, and she's ignoring my pleas for food. like the baby needs clothings now when he's safely and warmly in jie jie's womb with all the placenta encircling him.

BLEH.
i'm behaving like a young little girl jealous of her newborn baby brother.

ok, but it's totally different because i'm baby kynan's aunt, not sister. and he's not even born yet.
i must be deranged with hunger.

OOPS. better get going because i'm meeting yaya to accompany her for the Hey! Gorgeous briefing at SP's foodcourt 5 at 1pm.
rahhhh. she's sponsoring my cab fare to work. teeheehee.
that's all that matters. i hope she gets in. >.<

felt kinda emo today.
did morning shift at courts and left at 6pm.
waited at the Esso station for daddy to fetch me.
bought a Bacardi to drink cause i was feeling emo.
was just sitting there at the bus stop, drinking, listening to my mp3.
feel so grown up suddenly. LOL. and i finally understand why people need to go drinking after work.
it's really to D-E-S-T-R-E-S-S. although i must say it's not exactly to destress for me. i dont know why when i entered cheers to buy a drink i just had a sudden craving for something alcoholic, and the Barcadi was on promotion. $3.95.

sat there drinking and watching the traffic come and go.
now i really must enjoy studying right now when i can.
i bet i'd miss it.
i cannot imagine everyday leading the same old mundane routined lifestyle at work in the future.
looking at the Courts staffs and looking at the Sony staffs, it's scary.
at least for me, i can say "it's just temporary. it'll be ending soon, i'd be away from all this torture soon." but they cant.
i hope my future career will be something VERY INTERESTING.

got up, and i felt abit tipsy.
GOSH. how can i be my daddy's daughter when a bottle of Bacardi makes me tipsy! 4.8% alcoholic only! anyway, it must be the empty stomach. i didn't feel a thang at all that night after MOS.

continued to emo at home.
but the simple phone call from Big brother, and MSN-ing with Alex made me feel so so so much better.
Big Brother's very pleased with my results. like Second Brother.
and alex kept making me laugh with his nonsensical stuffs and i can't believe we were talking about WORK. sony stuffs.
zzz.

his msn nick is "SONY NO MORE BOUNDS". omg.
i cannot imagine... working life in the future.
dont want to imagine.

FYI, alex is this guy:


sheri says he looks like Luo Zhi Xiang (xiao zhu). but i think he looks grumpy. that's all.
tsk tsk tsk.

shall retire early tonight. my only chance to hv a VERY GOOD NIGHT'S REST. if i miss it, i'm DOOMED for the weekend.

write me a song.. titled "busy"

i freaking forgot about my GEMs module.
*smacks head*
oh wells. so i can't get Psychology and Counselling. bah humbug.
ah wells. there's always next semester!
and tomorrow i'll try again.

so instead of Psychology, i'm taking this:

An Elementary Study of Design Aesthetics and Culture (BE005A)

This module provides students with the opportunity for a fundamental study in design aesthetics and culture. Attention will be given to the critical analysis of the impact that aesthetics, culture, environmental and technological issues have on the design. Case studies on contemporary design in the creative industries such as fashion, advertising, arts, objects, architecture, space, etc in Singapore and other countries will also be discussed.

because (bummer!) none of the other modules i'm interested in are still open / have vacancies.
BUT, i will still try tomorrow no matter what.
anyway, i AM going (or at least HOPING) to take diploma plus in Applied Business Psychology in year 2. (provided i get a GPA of at least 3.0 and provided that i actually REMEMBER to register for it.)
so no hurry? hahaha.

went JMC to submit my punch card for data entry at courts. the bloody comex pay is still NOT READY. and i'm only getting my $125 for data entry BY NEXT THURSDAY. hmm. let's see.
I HATE MY TIMETABLE. i hope it's ready BY WEDNESDAY so i can collect it on WEDNESDAY. and i PRAY that the stupid Stats tutorial can be shift somewhere in the timetable, because i want my free wednesday back! (i'm sorry ling, but reality is i LOVE free wednesdays. =P)

and then i went Marina Square to shop. and then i went Orchard Wisma to collect my Osmose formal top. turns out the white one is really much nicer than the black because the gold stripes are not so prominent. bought some make up at Sasa, bought Famous Amos Cookies, went to the DFS Galleria and then headed home.

speaking of timetable,
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW BUSY I AM GOING TO BE IN SEMESTER 2!!!
what with GEMs module, and French, and i'm MAYBE going to continue working part time in Sony (if they're not continuing i MIGHT or MIGHT NOT find another job) and then by next year, with baby kynan born, i would probably be like, living at my brother's place for good. hahaha. cuz it's nearer to SP and i am going to help babysit even though they're hiring a maid. PLUS DRIVING! ohmygod. i totally forgot about driving lessons. gosh. i haven't replaced my missing PDL yet!

ROAR. i already feel my head throbbing.
you know what? i don't need GEMs module on Financial Planning and what-have-you, i need something called TIME MANAGEMENT.
bahhhh.

i'm already busy BEFORE school reopens with all the work. i cannot imagine how i'm going to start my semester when i'm going to be at work till 10pm the night before, at Bukit Timah Courts, although i already told Alan my school starts the next day i don't want to stay till too late.

someone write me a song... maybe title it "busy".
because i realise i can't think of any songs that's related to "busy". hahaha.
except this song by Arkana:

Took a while to drag me out of bed,
Aim some coffee at my head,
Saw the clock I'm running late,
It's an ordinary day.
And I'm like a dog on heat,
Knock one out and then fall asleep,
It's sad but true,
I'd rather be with you

Don't you forget about me,
When you're a celebrity,
It will be only you and me
Before too long.

So little time so much to do,
I rather spend my days with you,
So little time so much to do,
I'd like to spend one day with you,
And if that day is not enough,
Maybe we can stay in touch,
But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,
For tomorrow never comes.

Said I've been celibate for years,
Not out of choice theres no-one here,
See I can't give my end away,
Another ordinary day,
And I've love to see a little more of you,
You're clothes would look better on my bedroom floor,
bedroom floor,bedroom floor.

feel like hopping into bed already.

my lovelies (:

feels good to NOT need to do all the sai kangs.
bet the one who understands the most would be Clairey dear. hahaha.
I MISS YOU CLAIREY NEO POOTS!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

work has been BORING.
really. haha. no HIGH LIFE working as sony girl.

friday i did nothing at all but stand around, and a little bit of setting up with alan, patrick, nicholas and karen.
saturday was very lousy sales day. and got scolded by courts manager, calvin.
karen and i were already near speechless, and he still continued to grill us. LIKE WHAT LA, i'm taking pay from Sony, not from Courts, what right have you to come and interrogate us like that lor!
you think we also want to have ZERO sales meh. we gain commission per piece also what! no sales we happy meh? ):
he continued to pressurize us the next day... until we felt like quitting.. *sobs*
but in the end, we stayed because after i left for the barbecue, 3vaios were sold. (:

boring day too, today.
this weird staff andrew, keep doing weird things too. scary.
he tried to feed me (literally feed) cookies that the demonstrator baked, and then today before he left, he specially came over to my booth to say bye to me. lucky he's from the home appliance side. freaky.

that's all about my life now, how was yours?

ravings.

didn't really got myself into any trouble or mess.
(unless you count doing price ticket wrongly for courts yesterday?)
but anyway, no one made any noise about it, and almost EVERYONE at Courts is nice to me.
except for one big fat idiot--- WAYNE. (if that's how his name is spelt)
one day, i might just secretly take a photo of him and print it out, paste on the dart board and throw darts right onto his perfect nose. (wa lao. his nose bridge damn nice lor. why a nice nose bridge on someone that irritating! should make him super ugly.)


i really don't know what is wrong with him.
picking on all my work since day one. (by that i mean data entry with courts)
and then yesterday, he caught me by surprise by saying "keep up the good job, well done."
i'm like, did he just strike 4D? no. today's thursday!

and then today, he start chasing after me because he said i did some of the price tickets wrongly.
and he demanded me to do it in quite a rude way.
i felt like going, are you blind? can't you see the polo shirt i'm wearing?! it says "SONY VAIO". FYI, i'm not wearing my home clothes, i'm working for SONY today. NOPE, NOT at your beck and call today, NO.

instead i said, no, i cant do it.
he said, what no?!
i said cuz i'm working for sony today.
and he's like, I DONT CARE. and thrusted the paper with product codes on it into my hand.
WTH?

idiotic and rude.

so i complaint to Mani (i dno hw to spell his name. it sounds like "Money" anyway.), and Mani knows i'm working for Sony today so he went to give the product codes back to Wayne and got Wayne to do it himself. (LIKE NOBODY KNOW HOW TO DO PRICE TICKET EXCEPT ME LOR. BULLSHIT LEH.) and Wayne is like, crap! and gave me a evil backward glance.

hmmm.

what i'm confused is, awhile later, he gave me this invoice, and i'm like, WHAT AGAIN?!
and i felt guilty almost immediately.
because it's a Courts Invoice. someone bought a white CR11!
and he gave me the invoice means i can claim commission from Sony...

this really got me all puzzled.

but the rest of the day was terrible.
evil glances.
pointing at me and say, "you better watch out" or "you don't keh siao"

LIKE, WHAT HAVE I DONE?! I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

so terrified of him i shun at his shadow. or backview. whatever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

met Qi Ren's girlfriend today.. Karen.
pretty and nice and sweet and demure girl.
haha. and she's only a year older than me. (same age as monk)
had dinner with Qi Ren and her at Boon Tung Kee! yummylicious chicken rice! and deep fried tofu with mayo. SUPER DELICIOUS MAN.
hahaha. Qi Ren's treat! cuz he owes me 2 meals for introducing Karen to the Causeway Point show and this Bukit Timah show. (:

and i think i'm super mean to nicholas. (this really annoying guy i knew from Comex, who's from SP IT course.)
he is really the WORST conversationalist i've ever met.
he really really really CANNOT communicate in any form of language. (eng/chi)
it's like he knows how to talk but don't know how to speak/communicate/make sense.
his brain works in a very very very weird-weird way.
and i hate his fake paul-two-hill-look-alike hairstyle.
i shun at the sight of him. (but i'd rather talk to him than wayne. grrr.)
and the moment he opens his mouth to speak to me i turn around to go another direction. or pretend i didn't hear him.
there was once he just annoyed me so much i just leaned on the table and cupped my ears.
haha. i know i mean, but what to do!
karen, qi ren, and qi ren's colleague, jason all cannot stand him too!

i wonder how Ting Hui finds him. (tinghui working there too, for Acer. but under Courts. our booths are seated right next to each other.)

P.S. and you know what?! Karen told me that Nicholas told her this morning his pay is $7/hr.
WHAT THE HELL.
just because he's from IT course? somebody strangle Nicholas please. (i know monk will definitely go kill wayne first tmr and then he'll go Funan and murder Nicholas for me, then tell Alan and Patrick how wrong they were to hire him. hahaha.

paying him to go, "hi sir, interested in vaio?" WHO ON EARTH SAYS THIS KIND OF THING ONE LOR. i really never ever hear before. imagine you are at some IT fair, you walk pass vaio, den people go "hi sir, interested in vaio?" and then as you proceed, others go "hi sir, interested in lenovo?" "hi sir, interested in acer?" "hi sir, interested in fujitsu?"

diao. -.-

i would say, "sorry, i'm interested in shopping and movies. and chocolates and good food, and looking at HOT people."

now now, what have i gotten myself into?

you see, i thought it was perfect!
working for Courts (bukit timah) doing data entry wed-fri, and then back to Sony on Saturday and Sunday at Funan.

BUT


Sony called to say they need people to be at the Courts (Bukit Timah) roadshow. i thought it would be better to be at Funan (cuz got patrick they all) , and funner. so i rejected Alan, and he asked me to call Qi Ren's gf.

who knows Alan arranged for Nicholas (this guy from SP IT i got to know at Comex. he's terrible at selling even though he's from IT. anyone and EVERYONE i'm positive, did better sales than him. he CANNOT do sales.)
so Qi Ren begged me to do the (Bukit Timah) Courts Roadshow, cuz he swear Nicholas would screw up the sales and affect his gf's sales too.

and so i was really torn. because:
#1 the roadshow starts on Fri, and i'm supposed to still be working as Courts' Data Entry girl.
#2 i rejected Alan earlier on! and he has already made arrangement. how am i supposed to change everything just by making one phone call? like i'm big shot ah.
#3 the roadshow is from 14-23 sept. 24 sept school reopens. i'm afraid i'd be too tired?

P.S. the timetable REALLY SUCKS, sheri. BIG TIME!

#4 monk forbids me to work the roadshow. he says just go to Funan and that's enough already. i should enjoy my last week of holidays!

torn, i actually forfeited the roadshow, and decided to go Funan.
but after dinner, Qi Ren came to psycho me again!!

and then he totally analysed the whole situation until my brain wanted to black out.
just faint.
and i don't need to go anywhere.

all in all, i called Alan in the end.
and to make matters worse, it didn't go as planned. Alan didn't say, ok, you go to the roadshow then, i'll ask nicholas not to go.
instead, he said, ok, ask your friend (he thinks Qi Ren's gf is my friend) don't go, den you go.

Qi Ren and I nearly wanted to faint cuz:
#1 his girlfriend will flip
#2 I DONT WANNA WORK WITH NICHOLAS!!!
#3 we made matters worse.

so Qi Ren tried to do some damage control by doing something kinda unethical.
haha. he know, i know. *zip*
so now it's Nicholas, Me and Karen at the Courts Carpark Sale (Roadshow)
gosh.
now now, what have i gotten myself into?
i seriously don't know.

and i haven't told the Courts manager in-charge of my work yet.
everything was so chaotic last night and he wasn't around, so i forgot like something:
WHO TO TAKE OVER THE COURTS DATA ENTRY JOB???
(cuz everyone at Courts took the news so easily, nobody kinda asked den what about our data entry? yesterday i basically did printing of those typical-courts-yellow-price-labels.)

everything's just so screwed up.

now i miss my days at challenger.
simple. worries-free.

and camwhoring in the toilet. =P

busiest day ever

work really just come chasing after me.

took a cab (as usual) to SSDC for my driving lesson. the uncle went by Yio Chu Kang. much much much more expensive lor. it was $7.20! the last last ride was $6 something (via Ang Mo Kio). and then the last ride (Monday) was $5.80! because the nice uncle cut thru NYP so i saved alot of waiting time from a whole stretch of traffic lights!

but i didn't scowl. because i was too busy on the phone with Evy, the whoever person from JMC. (the contact person for comex courts) she was desperate for someone to go to Bukit Timah Courts for some Data Entry because they are having stock taking. and the girl who went yesterday quit.
so after some negotiating, i decided to go after my driving. i'm supposed to reach there at 2pm.

so i had my driving. (FREAKIN PISSED OFF WITH THE STUPID TRAFFIC POLICE PEOPLE. THE SYSTEMS' DOWN SINCE MONDAY AND IT WASN'T REPAIRED YET THIS MORNING.SO I COULDN'T GET MY PDL AND SO I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE CIRCUIT AGAIN! MY INSTRUCTOR WAS VERY NICE, THE SAME INSTRUCTOR FROM MONDAY, AND HE WANTED TO BRING ME OUT BUT WAS STOPPED BY SOME GUY,I DON'T KNOW WHO. RAH. SO I DID SOME OTHER ADVANCE TOPICS AGAIN BUT AM STUCK AT STAGE ONE. I'M SUPPOSED TO DO REVISION FOR STAGE ONE TODAY LA! PROVIDED I HAVE MY PDL...

DEN AFTER LESSON THE TRAFFIC POLICE'S SYSTEM'S BACK!BUT I HAVE NO TIME TO QUEUE FOR IT CUZ MY LESSON ENDED AT 1230 AND I HAVE TO BE AT BUKIT TIMAH COURTS (GOD KNOWS WHERE IS IT) BY 2PM AND THERE'S 14 PEOPLE BEFORE ME, IN QUEUE. SO I FORFEITED IT AND SOLD MY FRIDAY DRIVING SLOT.)

took train from yio chu kang to jurong east and then to clementi. by then it was 135 and i was running late. bought Mcnugget student meal and hopped onto a cab.(cuz my freaking phone went flat and i didn't know how to get there. it went flat because i received so many freaking calls one morning and made so many freaking calls one morning, it was like the busiest morning i've ever had in my entire life. there was only one batt left when i boarded the NS train, den when sherilyn called, low batt. and then the JMC's Evy Felina called, it went flat on her towards the end of the conversation.) reached there at 150. i stood outside the courts looking like a big fat idiot gorging down all the mcnuggets and the fries.
(I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER EVER GORGED ON FOOD LIKE THAT BEFORE. IT WAS REALLY AN ENTIRE MOUTHFUL I WAS FEELING SO HUMILIATED.) roughly finished the food. gathered myself, went into Courts, saw Winston, met Qi Ren, and went to look for Mr.Wong.

he introduced me what i had to do and blah, gave me punch card, took me around on a tour and continued guided me for awhile before leaving me alone, doing my stuffs.
i took down the product codes and quantity for some products, went into the office to key and print out the barcodes and then paste it on the products. basically that's all.
i've to like continue tmr cuz i haven't completed it yet.
the pay is funny. i'm supposed to work 11am-10pm. (11hours)
my pay depends on how long i take breaks.
if i work 8 hours, it's $50. (aka $6.25/hr)
if i work9 hours, it's $60. (aka $6.67/hr)
if i work 10 hours, it's $75. (aka $7.50/hr)
so the max is definitely 10hours cuz even if i work 11hours straight i tink it's still $75.
so today i got $50. hahaha.
and then weekend i got the Funan roadshow with Sony (which i can't wait cuz i'll be working with patrick, alan, alex and virus!!! oh no. where's uncle teh!)

got back results today. my overall GPA's 3.5. which is like the minimum i expected. haha. ok...
IDEA- Distinction
EC - B
ITAB - B+
MOB - B+
not say very thrilled with the grades but i'm happy with the GPA (:

P.P.S. i think i really ought to get spare battery!

last day of challenger!

Saturday:

it's 725pm now.

i'm so so so so freaking bored.

i really think i'd be mad with boredom by tuesday.

today's saturday and i'm already so bored!!!

what to do when it's monday and tuesday!

and i didn't sell a single thing today.

was watching rv the whole day. hahaha. can't believe i actually took the whole day to watch rv!(because i keep getting interrupted by browsing customers)

tired!!!

i'd rather it be like comex. busy busy busy like a little bumblebee until i have no time to notice who's harrassing me.

(this idiotic delivery man gave me a fly kiss and a wink on his way out.i just totally stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded. stunned.)

and then the stupid challenger staff (whom stuck his tongue out at me ytd) asked if i have a sister, because he claims that he has a friend that looks exactly like me, except she's older and about twice my size.

he said when i knock off today (which is like, 1hour later) he'll show it to me on his friendster.

*rollseyes*

i think tmr i would like, bring princess diaries, or legally blonde or the parent trap. (those that i totally know by heart cuz i cannot hear a single thing from all the fiasco here at vivocity. it's like watching a muted show although the volume is the max already.)

>.<

then maybe i'd bring a book to read on monday and tuesday, judging by the fact that the challenger people don't give a hoot about what i do.

(gosh i simply love the keyboard man. i don't understand why some customers can complain they don't like it.i would absolutely love this.i can type at the speed of lightning on this and without having to look at the keyboard.)

hurry hurry hurry hurry.

why does time passes so slowly whenever i want it to go faster???

hell of a torture.

patrick seow!!!!! (kinda feel like strangling him.)

faster faster faster faster!

i hope i can land my hands on some dippin' donut before i go home for tmr's breakfast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
monday and tuesday:

10/09/2007

it's 6pm of Monday evening.
my second last day of work here, at vivocity's challenger.
can't really say i'd miss this place.
but yet you'd never know! (look at how i missed the comex when i kept complaining it's hell tiring)
but NAH. i dont think i'll miss here much. (maybe i'll miss getting paid just to watch movies.haha)

i watched legally blonde yesterday, and had BK chicken for lunch, sitting outside vivocity, facing sentosa, enjoying the breeze and the sun. (sounds like picnic huh.)
and after lunch, i watched princess diaries.
den listened to some songs while watching Bruce Almighty on Challenger's uber big projector and tada!
there goes my sunday.
had dinner with daddy and mummy at vivo's Kopitiam at basement 2 and den we took the train home together.

oh yes!
i also did a hell lot of online shopping yesterday morning!
finally the maple syrup spree is here! ordered so many things! =P
MADNESS. MANIAC SHOPPING.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i had driving this morning from 1030-1230.
it's a bummer cuz i lost my student booklet and my provisional driving license.
replaced my student booklet (it's a book that actually records your progress and which subjects you've taken) at $10.70
BUT because the stupid traffic police's system was down (AGAIN), i couldn't get a duplicate of my PDL.
and so, i couldn't drive outside the circuit! RAH.
the instructor was nice because he offered to help me look for my stuff high and low.
and then he took me on to subject 11 since i couldn't do subject 10 outside the circuit on the real roads.

supposed to start work at 130.and i was like, really late. i reached around 150.
but no one seems to care.hahaha.
and then started my routine video watchin. today was Crayon Shinchan, and then i watched Sandra Bullock's While You Were Sleeping.
den lunch at Food Republic. den shopping at Daiso. den i bought 2Dippin Donut which i'm going to devour tonight. teeheehee.
and den i'm back to my routine video watching again (While you were sleeping disc 2).
heck. at least i'm paid to like, watch movies. HAHAHA.
tomorrow's my last day! can't wait. think i'll have to like, sms patrick later if i'm supposed to go to any other roadshows after this one.
can't believe i still have like, 3.5 more hours to go!!!
sigh. i think i'll start on my other movie: Alot like Love
lester was asking me why the movies i bring are all romance genre. so boring.
haha. i think so too! but i think i'd embarrass myself if i were to watch horrors or comedy?
even watchin romance i have to like, fight very hard to keep a straight face, and not go gaga over the romantic scenes. the guys opposite me(the camera and handphone section) seems to like to look at my expressions when i'm watching video. so irritatin but i just ignore them anyway.)
if i were to watch horror of comedy? i'd totally be a humiliation or a joke.

yadda yadda. i'm just ranting.
it's madness. HOW CAN VIVOCITY BE SO BORING!
i wish i'm paid to do shopping.(is there a job like that?)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11/09/2007

yay!
last day of work today.and everyone here (by that i mean the challenger staff) are all like going "today your last day?today your last day?" phwoar.
like it's some world news like that. spread like wild fire.
watched Crayon Shinchan, and den slacked around, walked around, chit chat around, den continued Alot Like Love disc 2, which i didn't manage to finish last night.
when i finished, it's time for break!
had a craving for some spicy noodle today, so i bought Shin Ramen from 7-11 and a Cheesy Hotdog from Golden Village and went picnicing again in the outdoors.
after which i went shopping around! hahaha. oh gosh. i saw this top from forever21 that i really like! -squeals-

now just back from my break not long ago.
i think i'm going to do my manicure while watching Cinderella Story.
HAHAHA. (i think yanling would really want to strangle me when she reads this.. MANICURE)
anyway, contacted Patrick last night. he said i'll be doing Funan with him this weekend.
yayness. then i won't be like freaking hell bored.
got patrick the botak starfish!
plus funan should be better than here.sales wise.
and there's subway! (: eat fresh! miss my cold cut trio.
but it'll be boring cuz i cant go wandering around, shopping for clothes like what i do here during lunch break.
(there's no clothes to look at at Funan. only stupid IT gadgets.) bummer.
ohwells. just pray really hard that sales would be good!

xoxo
carmen

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

patrick and alex came around 8+ while i was talking to Sherilyn on the phone, giving her directions on how to locate me cuz it's only her second time at vivocity.
got a shock cuz patrick sprung onto me and say "zuo gong bu yao yi zhi jiang dian hua!" in a joking manner.
hahaha. i wasn't expecting them.
helped them dismantle the display by almost doing nothing. haha. just jagar the things only. (especially alex's newly bought 700+ PS3 haha!) yeah.
and since alex say nevermind, i shall post this TAK GLAM PICTURE OF HIM (that i found in the recycle bin of the indigo blue CR11 model... taken with the webcam.)

TADA!
haha. sherilyn say he look like Luo Zhi Xiang! *faints*

anyway, i left around 835 and headed to Marche with Sheri!!!
nice scenery huh!
this was taken after we devoured a happy delicious meal at marche.
it's so weird that i feel more familiar with Heeren's Village than this Marche, when you know, i used to patronise Marche.
ok. it sounds funny. but i think (or i expect) claire to understand it the best for we were Marche's best friends. HAHAHA.
the new Marche is quite different compared to the old Marche, while the new Village is like, exactly the same as the old Marche except its name is now Village.
ya. if you get what i mean.
anyway, gotta go.
pictures will be up when sheri sends me! (:

P.S. just got the pictures from Sheri.
but i cannot blog it because i'm like, sworn to secrecy because sheri says ling ling is dying to find out how her new haircut looks like. so i'm supposed to let everyone find out by themselves on Sunday, which is DBA 08's bbq!

spree spree spree!

items from my maplesyrup spree:















haha. dang. i just saw like one or two more earrings that i really like! ohwells. next time perhaps!

was browsing bigi spree with ling ling just now.
just yesterday or something, we saw Bigi spree at sgspree's livejournal website.
we were having a discussion on which bags to purchase and i went to the sgspree website and my heart sank when i saw it's closed!
bummer.
yanling's heart sank too.hahaha.

and den today, as a routine daily order, i went to browse through sgspree again and tada!!!
there's Bigi spree!
quickly called ling ling. and den we started our spree.
ling's gonna buy this:
and i'm gonna buy this:

heehee. cuz can you believe it, i don't have any black bags!

i'm still deciding if i should get this:
the white

or the gold.

cuz the gold one (a different design) that i bought from my taiwan trip spoil already.
i'm wondering if this one will spoil so easily too? it costs 399NTD. (that's about $18.95, plus $3 shipping fee will be approx. $22)

or should i like get this from GAP?
i like cuz it's metallic and got the trolley. =P
but it's EIGHTY-FIVE SINGAPORE DOLLARS.

heck. got the night to decide.
tmr morning i'll do payment at the Singapore Safety Driving Centre before my driving...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

currently working at vivocity's challenger store.
it's so freaking stupid because (see the picture) it's just one small little teeny weeny booth at challenger.

with like, 4cr11s, 1fz15, 1sz433.

i'm so so so so freaking bored.
i started working at 1230 (i was a teeny weeny bit late. reached at 1240) and i'm ending work at 830.
sold a cr11 blazing red 1hour after i started working. which was, according to the challenger manager, very very very good.
because so far, he told me that all the sony sales people that have come these past few days have not sold a single thing.(and i saw on the attendance sheet yesterday virus was here!hahaha)

and then i nearly sold 1 cr11 pure white, but due to some cosmetics flaws, the customer had second thoughts.
walao.stupid idiotic couple.
(i say they're idiotic because they rejected a second one because of one very teeny weeny little scratch, which is almost unnoticeable!)
but anyhow, patrick was very happy with my results(of almost 2 laptops sold) haha. patrick said i'm so sud!
den he say he want to promote me if i didn't hear wrongly..i definitely heard he wants to extend my stay..(i just freaking hope it's elsewhere, not here!so boring! and got alot of chee-ko-pehs keep looking at me.)
and alan was very shocked too!haha.he even called to talk to me.(about my sales and about any of my friends interested in working at causeway courts tmr & sun or not..)

went for my break at around 335 and when i came back an hour later,that idiotic couple was about to make the purchase lor. (heartbroken mann)
then the challenger staff came to talk to me..
he tried to be friendly or flirtatious, i don't know.
because when i asked him to photocopy the invoice & the warranty card for me as proof of purchase,he said, "dont want leh!" and he stuck out his tongue at me.
hello! i know you very well meh! -.-
stupid git.

and the delivery men of samsung and some other brands, (3 of them) came to ask me if i want to go for a drink with them, when i just came back from my break.
they shouted "hello!" and waved at me on their way out. (i'm right at the entrance of challenger) and being nice, i just smiled.
and then they signalled me to go to the 7-11 to drink with them.
-.-
(question mark! i thought is the sony delivery man came la.)

sighs.
here is even worse than funan lor.
at least derrick and brett are together. and then at funan there's a sony gallery there, with alan and alex stationed there.
vivo got no sony gallery and nobody to talk to me! i'm the only person here lor. (i naively thought patrick or just someone would be here..)
feel so isolated.(even though got challenger staff come and talk to me..but...)

anyway, before i went for my break, janice and this sales rep that i've never seen before, mark, came for shopfront visiting.
then janice asked me,"where's the roadshow ah?" den i said, "here lor!" -.-
they got the "huh.like that only ah?" look, although they tried to hide it.
chatted with janice for awhile, while mark did his stuff.
den i kept complaining to janice i'm going to die.
and she nearly scared the hell out of me when she told me there's no commission. (because the sony's hr agency haven contacted me and goondoo patrick don't know anything! but luckily alan called during my break so i asked him.. phew!)

ya, den mark, being a very nice gentleman, he uploaded some music for me on this current laptop that i'm using. (cr11 aroma black) so i'm like blogging(on notepad) and listening to the songs.
p.s. i only said he's nice because he uploaded the songs for me. =p

den janice so cute lor. she ask if i want to work for sony after i graduate! (because she also started as a part-timer and then after she graduated, she came to work for sony...)
hmmm... already poaching me when i haven't even graduate...

boredom. after my work end tonight i'd send this file to my dear samsung phone and then post it when i'm online tonight. (cuz there's no free wireless connection!the connections that are discovered are security-enabled wireless. boo.)

i was so bored i actually tried to type out "you're beautiful" lyrics. (as shown above. thoroughly incomplete cuz i cannot catch what james blunt's singing..)

nothing much to say already. just hope business picks up for me. >.<
-630pm

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yay.1hour15mins to go.

but i think by the time i finish typing and editing, it would be almost time to go already. (because i'd be interrupted by customer enquiries halfway..)
met laiyin & her boyfriend and irene(i think that's her name if i didn't remember wrongly). my primary schoolmates..
i think irene wants to get the cr11 luxury pink.
tsktsk.

couple more customers came and go. (or rather touch n go. haha. get the joke? like the malaysia customs' touch n go)
den this guy, lester, whom the manager delegated for me to approach to if in need of help, asked me if i want to go dinner with him.
but i said i'm only entitled to 1hour break..and i used it all up already during lunch.
luckily, to save me from the awkwardness, a customer approached me. phew!
(oops. he just came back from buying dinner from food republic i think..)

i think i'm going to like, go crazy, cuz in my brain there's this mad voice saying "i miss comex i miss comex i miss comex"
qi ren (my comex courts buddy) just smsed to say thanks for introducing his gf the courts causeway point sony job.haha.he offered to treat me a meal!
but he's stationed at bukit timah's courts leh.(stupid alan never even say thank you lor.haha.ok la,i'm not that petty la.)
hopefully patrick/alan will send me there for the bukit timah courts roadshow.
yay. (but it's kinda far..and i scared patrick got other plans for me..)

slice of today.

just a random photo...
wore this nail for like, almost a week and then i lost 2 index finger nails during Comex. ):
boo. will try to repair like, real soon.
the other day (monday) i was at Amit, my boss's apartment at Mandarin Gardens. we just came back from lunch and cuz it was pouring, Shan drove us into the basement carpark.
and VOILA! there was this cutesy little classic car all covered in dust, and the door was open! haha. it's so mini that when Amit sat inside the poor little thing sank.
the weirdest thing of all, besides it being unlocked, is that the headlights could be turned on! (even without switching on the engine, duh, cuz we didn't have the keys)
it made me wanna die for a manual license. but i'm taking auto lessons!
i hate the whole manual-gear-and-clutch thing. ):
BUT I WEIRLY WEIRLY WEIRLY WANNA DULAIF A CLASSIC CAR!!!

anyway, the picture is courtesy of amit.

finally beared to open up my pwetty little guess box.

and use my pwetty little guess wallet. *hearts*

because today i have a meeting with this guy from the Singapore Economics Development Board along with Shan. den have to look good what.
was kinda scared.
and then i went along with Shan for his next meeting at NTU with a manager from the Business School.

all in all, it was really worth it. and a very very good exposure! haha. but i wished i had a namecard. ):



Shan dropped me off at Jurong East MRT and i took a train down to Funan to look for Derrick and Brett. (apologies that i previously spelt "Brad")
actually, not exactly to look for them la. i just wanted to go and see-see-look-look kaypo abit. hahaha.
and yay! i had a donut factory hazelnut donut from them! (:
spotted the "best of singapore" sold at Times bookstore for $69.29.

walked from City Hall to Funan and then i was spying around from upstairs cuz i don't know why, i felt a lil shy. maybe because i was dressed in formal? then i psst psst derrick from upstairs den they ask me to come down to chit-chat with them.
and i'm getting paid like, $8 to chit-chat with them for like, 1hour plus. hahaha.
dunno whether they really meant it or not cuz they are such jokers. but i will take it for real! since they say i'm very gullible. HUMPH.

den alan and alex tried to "force" me into going vivo today because this part-timer didn't turn up and became uncontactable.

P.S. they asked me to go because patrick called me when i was up on level 2 spying on them set up the booth, and asked me to work for them at Vivo's Challenger from tomorrow till Tuesday, 1230-830.
so i finally got a Sony job! and thay's cuz Shandy can't go and she asked Patrick to call me. rah. don't like being second-best. ):
but it has got nothing to do with that, just that Sony don't need so many people. now i understand why, after visiting Funan. it's sucha small scale thing. incomparable to Comex lor.

so tired. didn't eat all day except a Subway cookie for breakfast and the Hazelnut DOUGHNUT.
went to get a handphone with daddy at AMK hub because his spoiled during the fall. and then we had eat-till-you-full $10 per pax steamboat at the AMK polyclinic nearby.
there goes my diet mann. ):

ok. my expression looks really spasticated.
anyway, i was wearing a Mango brown satin top (as shown below), Osmose black pencil skirt, Black peep-toe patent kitten heels, and carrying my mum's fake LV. haha.I'M SO TIRED.
shan got meeting with pilot pen people tmr. and i can't go. ):
shall ask him to get me some free G2 pens. tsk tsk tsk.

have faith.

i don't understand.
why can't people have faith in people?
i mean, i've ALWAYS had faith in people.
when people said they'll come back. be it when i was working at bossini or comex, i always trusted that they'll come back. and to tell you the truth, most of the time, people DO come back!
i don't understand why the "big people" (da ren) always says don't believe their words.
like bernard from bossini, uncle teh from sony and my own mother.
but i really feel that you know, when you have faith, sometimes, it just happens.
they come back!

why can't people just have more faith in themselves and others?
i always tell myself, "i can do it, i can do it, i can do it" when i'm really on the verge of desperado.
and i always tell myself, "if you believe they're coming back, they will come back. if you don't, they won't."
and trust me, it hasn't failed me too many times yet. those that failed, you can tell they really are just trying to skimp you.

so why can't they just give me a break?
just give people more faith! why do they believe that there are plenty of big bad wolves, baddies, evil-hooked-and-crooked-nose witches, and what-say-you out there that's trying to cheat anyone and everyone.
true. i don't deny there ARE baddies out there.
but i just don't like people stereotyping and saying, "the world out there is bad. is evil. is cruel." i know to a certain extent, it's true. i don't deny. but why must you have that perception? why not go "the world out there is full of hope and opportunities." i mean, it's just taking a step back and viewing things from another angle and everything would be so much better!

whatever.
i mean, why not take the nicer view of the world? why make your life so miserable?
and i'm even more sick that my parents are just yakking away all day that i must becareful when i go to work, when am i getting my comex pay, they would cheat me of all my money.
come on la.
am i that gullible?
so sick of it. especially my mum tagging along all the way to Juice Asia. that's over concerned.
i feel over-protected.

i'm not that dumb la. i'm born street smart. and i'm like so observant. *tut*
if i were that dumb i wouldn't have like, told everyone we should get our pay together from JMC (the HR agency in charge of "dispatching" us to courts for comex) should they take too much commission out of our pay, then we can protest together.
see? i'm so smart.
stop treating me like a baby!!!



speaking of which, Baby Bradley Kynan came!(haha.gor gor changed his mind and thought kynan is a nicer name. I LIKE!) as in, he was inside Serene jie's tummy and Serene Jie & my Gor came together to get the bird's nest my mum stewed.brewed.whatever. ya.
and Serene jie was wearing sucha cute pink T-shirt!!! it says: "There is a rockstar in there" and a arrow was pointin to her tummy. so cute!
she said she bought another one that says : "I'm not fat, I'm eating for two!"
i still prefer the rockstar one. Kynan Cheong, future rockstar. (i like!)
and i finally got to feel Baby Kynan! but i think he was sleeping. ):
21weeks old. oooooh (:

i'm starting to feel mad at alan and patrick. they totally whitewashed me.
they told us they need people for some Sony ROADSHOWS.
and by roadshow, you'd thought they'd need alot of people. but NO. shandy babe called me when i messaged her if she has got any job from Sony. she told me the whole freaking story that it turned out that by ROADSHOW, they only needed 2 part timers MAX.
so infuriating. and then if they call us to go work at Sony Galleries (like what patrick said, the pay is different. no commission.)
utterly pissified. lucky i still go another job ah! piangz.
i still contemplated quitting for sony mann. thank god i didn't.
i wonder when they'd call for like, ANY job at all.
but then again, i have faith they would call. hahaha.

anyway, i've a meeting tomorrow with Shan, with some people from the Economic Development Board.
gosh. the thought of it is making me have butterflies. so scared. and i don't know if i'm gonna be dressed formal enough or not for this!

the 200th post!

feeling so super emo lately.
and i clearly know why.
but i'm struggling hard to put it all away.


anyway.
awoken at 720 today by quarrells outside my window.
i thought groggily, "weird. i thought mummy and daddy left already? why are they back home so soon and arguing outside my window now?"
tried to go back to sleep but the fiasco continued.
i was awoken up by mummy not long later, only to realized they've both fallen from daddy's skidded motorcycle.

no worries.
just superficial wounds and torn clothings.
not as bad as the one i had back then. (click it's the 16 feb post)

so i helped them to clean their wounds and also to dress their wounds abit. comfort them and blah. they left to see a doctor around 9am and i went back to sleep cuz i was so tired.
and also to prevent me from having the dilemma on whether or not should i go for driving lesson at 1030.
because i've made my decision not to go. i know i wouldn't be able to concentrate well, and 2hours of driving lesson is super taxing when i'm already so tired.
so i wasted like 72 bucks cuz i didn't manage to try sell my slot.

woke up around 11am when my parents came home.
we talked abit and then mummy left to meet her friend to get bird's nest i think. (she was intending to go get bird's nest to broil for serene jie jie, my dearest (future)sister-in-law but because of the accident she asked her friend to buy for her.)
watched Blood Brothers with daddy.
and then i practically lazed around and lolled around in bed all day, daydreaming...

you reminded me the joy of daydreaming.
you reminded me what was ambiguity.
you reminded me what that feeling is like, again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i simply LOVE daydreaming.
i can let my imagination run to the wildest plains ever. (even wilder than scriptwriters. i think if i applied for a scriptwriter job all of them would just lose their jobs. hahaha.)

many scenarios came into mind.
but i'd like to keep it private. teehee.
i especially like this one: What would i do if i were to win this time's Big Sweep, grand total of $2,200,000!

haha. i really really like this one. and i was like, really making plans as though i already won it.
tsk tsk.
it doesn't hurt to daydream sometimes.
just don't mix it up with reality.
oh wells! i just want to go back and continue daydreaming now~

what you do to me

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

always.

classic.
chanced upon this song last night when i came home from Comex 2007.
i don't know why but it strummed my heart.
this pang of feelings came emanating out of nowhere.

喔！你的甜蜜　打动了我的心
虽然人家说甜蜜　甜蜜
只是肤浅的东西

喔！你的眼睛　是闪烁的星星
是那么样的　Shining Shining
吸引我所有的注意

不管是内在美可靠
外在美重要
我已经不想去思考
全部都忘掉
你对我实在太糟糕
我对你却太好
如今我只能自己后悔
只能自己苦恼

喔！你的甜蜜
已伤了我的心
到现在你说对不起 对不起
Sorry doesn’t mean anything

已伤了我的心
到现在发现你的甜蜜
是那么遥远的距离

喔！你的眼睛
已刺痛我的心
到现在你说对不起 对不起
Sorry doesn’t mean anything
到现在你说Sorry Sorry
已经没有什么意义

i miss the Comex. it's tiring. it's frustrating. it's exhausting. it's physically taxing. it made my lips all dry. my voice all different from talking so much.

but still,

i really miss it.

i miss everyone!
i even miss uncle teh's teasings and virus calling me "da jie da" although i'm like obviously younger than him. (he meant hooligan anyway.)
i miss going "Sony Vaio.. Sony Vaio.." and distributing brochures and then hear Jocelyn chip in "lowest at $1599". and then uncle teh goes "cham liao la. u like that how can get customers?! must say buy 1 get 1 free... bag"
i miss saying "Hi miss/sir/mdm can i help you? looking for laptops?"
i miss banging my fist on the display top and demonstrating the HDD protection (especially the last night i kept on demonstrating it my left fist was numb)
i miss talking over and over and over again about the freebies.
i miss talking over and over and over again about the specs of different models.
i miss helping customers make decision on which colour or which model to choose.
i miss bitching with Shandy, the best biatch there, about effing irritating customers. (there were only me, jocelyn & shandy. the only 3 girls)
i miss pretending to consult the courts people when i perfectly know there's a slip of paper secretly hiding in my pocket and all the freebies that i can give are listed there.
i miss doing exercises when i feel the aching sore in my feet and knees and my neck and back.
i miss the noisy convention centre.
i miss the (courts) sony booth.
i miss paul, qiren, alan, virus, uncle teh, patrick, shandy, jocelyn, derrick & brad.
i miss the feeling of looking forward to something.
now that i look back,
i realize that i actually looked forward to going for Comex everyday! (maybe except the first because yanling wasn't going & i was scared everyone would cluster in their groups and don't make friends but thankfully everyone was split up-- acer & sony)
*boohoo*
i really am glad i had this experience.
i wouldn't even mind if the pay is abit meagre. (but then again, it was alot of hard work leh! it'd better be acceptable, on second thoughts.)


ambiguity kills me. yet excites me. triggers me. drives me mad and nuts. i cannot cannot cannot stand ambiguity. yet i like it.
woman are just so strange sometimes. scratch that.
woman are just so strange.

comex 2007

i'm so freaking tired but i just still want to type this post when i'm feeling so emotional.
haha.

this past 4 days i have been working with freaking Courts at the Comex 2007 roadshow.
and i have been selling and selling and selling and selling and promoting and promoting and promoting Vaio.
(good thing is I have Vaio as my laptop lor. den i can really like, have the Vaio spirit. den i have some background on Vaio also.. hahaha.)
for the past 4 days has been really weird because when yanling told me that the (stupid) elvin dont let her go to the IT fair, i was really contemplating on not going too. (because the courts guy, my buddy it turned out, didn't call me till quite late!)
but i went in the end. and i must say, i am really glad.
the exposure, the experience, and everything that i've experienced there is really priceless.
haha.

and now i shall express my heartfelt thanks to everybody. (although i know they will never ever read it. but still, i must do it when i'm feeling emotional.hahaha)

to Courts staff;
dario, costa, winston and a guy whom i dunno his name for assisting me in all the issuing of the invoice (because we part timers are not allowed to do)
paul for always being so nice, chatting with me when i'm bored, and especially for cheering me up today when i was very down with Uncle Teh & Virus's teasing.
qiren for being the bestest buddy and sharing with us all the "top secret" hahaha.

to Sony Vaio staff;
alan, alex, virus (there is really a guy called virus. his name is virus tan.hahaha. i always make fun of him.), janice and the manager guy whom i dunno the name also cuz he's barely around. thank you for all the superb product knowledge and always helping me when i'm stumped with some bloody freaking chim questions that customers ask. and for being the funnest team i can ever dreamed for.
if time were to reverse, (and i had not bought vaio) i would want to work with you guys again if given a chance. i would never go to acer!
patrick for always being so nice to me too and laming around with me when i'm feeling bored and lame. haha. and to tolerate me when i'm mentally zonked due to all the price and specs and freebies that we have to remember.
Uncle Teh for teaching me so many things for the past few days, and ALWAYS helping me to clinch sales. (except today because i was so annoyed with him teasing me from head-to-toe. he just couldn't help but bully me. it's like second-nature to him already since yesterday. so i got so annoyed and irritated i avoided him everywhere i went.)

i had alot of fun and the experience is really really really good. (:

and guess what? they're asking me to go work tomorrow at this other roadshow at jurong point. but i'm too tired. plus i have agreed to work at ling's workplace (telemarketing for prudential). but the money they're(sony vaio) giving is so attractive. not the basic la. but the commission.. but then it's only for ONE week leh. den i dunno how many laptops i can sell leh.

so i'm really torn. sigh. why am i so competent?
HAHAHAHA.

buayhiaobai-ness is definitely something i learnt from uncle teh. =P

torn.


prudential = $6 per hour.
$5 each for first 3 appointment.
$10 each for the subsequent ones.
(long term/1month vacation)

sony = $6.50 per hour
$30 for each vaio sold.
(only for this week)

my pa say sony!
i say vaio!
tsk tsk tsk.
