Daily rantings and ramblings of my life (:
Weekends!
Jul 5th
Sick. Should say, still sick. Oh well. Must be due to KFC and Pizza Hut yesterday
It’s been so long since I’ve stepped into school on a SATURDAY! Ever since Singapore’s education system implemented a 5 day week, going to school on Saturdays have been history. Well well, universities sure are different eh? Anyways, the lesson was a pure annoyance. I had no idea Microsoft Word can be so useful AND frustrating at the same time. Our task was to create a business report with a good letter head. I spent like 1 entire hour trying to figure out Word. Its been a long time, ever since school ended, I haven’t even touched the computer for school purposes anymore. Everyday, it has been either Facebook or work. But somehow… I really miss work days ): And my work friends. Argh.
After lesson, went to meet Weiqin, Jolene, Renzhi and Cheewee straight at AMK hub. I thought I went on a suicide ride because from SIM HQ to AMK, it was super long! And that day was the first day of distance fare, so I thought a great amount would be deducted from my ez-link. In the end, I was wrong! It was only a dollar and fifty cents. No idea how they calculate it, but I’m benefiting from it, so I shall not care!
As usual, everyone was late! Except Cheewee and me. So we hanged around, waiting for the others to come. Bought popcorn and nachos
Been so long since I’ve eaten those which shows how long since I’ve watched a movie huh? Imma cavewoman. Yosh. LOL.
Eclipse was pretty good but the same flaw apply from Twilight. Those who didn’t read the books, wouldn’t have understand the movie fully. That point was pretty sad. But I guess it didn’t matter for me since I’ve already read the entire series
Oh, there were these bunch of school girls behind Jolene and I. Every time Jacob appeared on screen or says something touching, they would go “awww”. It’s not like we needed extra sound effects for the movie x.x Jolene and I exchanged glances every time they make that noise.
After the show, we walked around aimlessly and then departed for home.
Sunday was a blast. I was pretty shocked to see Shannon and Mingsheng there (Oh and of course Mingle). Didn’t know they were going. We took the “familiar” bus 76 to Jiakiang’s house. When we reached, food was already ready for us. I had to say I was a little disappointed to see KFC x.x Not really into fast food. Oh well. Beggars can’t be choosers. But fast food proved to the the best choice when serving large groups of people. Everyone dug in hungrily.
Some continued eating while the others started playing Wii. I SUCK at car racing games -.- Give up. But I won Mingle :X Nothing to be proud of! LOL. Was accused for bullying KIDS :X Well, either way, I’ll be said!
After that we played Tennis! My favourite game on Wii
MingSheng and Jiakiang totally thrashed us x.x They are super pro at it. Jolene arrived soon after with my pink dolphin! Forgot to bring my bottle ><” How forgetful. Then we played Saboteur again. Super fun game. Its the only complicated game that I’ve fallen in love with. Next was Bridge. I give up. My luck was super down and I was trying to blame it on the Feng Shui
Dinner was pizza! So guilty and apologetic. Jiakiang’s mum was so nice to order more food for us because we were hungry ><” THANKS! We spent the evening playing another card game, not a poker one. I have no idea whats the game name at all but it was really worth our time. Seems like Jiakiang can develop his house into a Settler’s Cafe or something. He has Wii, XBOX, so many card and board games. Next time, we should just go over his house or something. No need to go pay money and play some boring games outside when we can just settle comfortably in our classmates house and have fun together (:
Overall, it was really nice to chill with my JC mates, catch up with each other. Been a long time since I’ve seen some of them. Well, we got to meet up again soon guys!
Today was a pretty slacky day. I was supposed to meet up with Kachings but I guess the partying during the weekends weakened my body ): Down with flu and sorethroat. Also had a really bad headache in the morning. Was so pissed off and snapped at every single thing. Rested for the entire afternoon and am now feeling much better (: Dyed my hair as well! Its so dry right now x.x So dry that I feel like just doing 10 hair masks consecutively x.x Anyways, I used Liese’s Marshmallow Brown Bubble Colour dye. The colour’s a little lighter than my previous one. It was quite a fun experience, but totally tiring! Guess I’ll stick to going to salons in the future.
Shall go to sleep now (: Driving in the morning and school in the afternoon tomorrow. Good night people. Sweet dreams (:
Its a full circle
Jul 2nd
Why do people always make me repeat myself? Repeat repeat repeat repeat.. it just continues on as if there’s no ending. It’s such a waste of energy to reiterate things that don’t have a need to. If you really are interested, then you would have paid attention to it at the first place. If I’m at least significant to you, you would have at least separate this SIGNIFICANT space in your BRAIN to remember things that are related to me.
I’m not someone to fill in your “bored” moments. For example, YOU are super bored. YOU open your messenger and realized that I’m the only one online. Hence YOU had no choice but to double click on my nick and start to ENTERTAIN YOURSELF. So, YOU start to get the conversation rolling by asking questions that YOU already have the answer to.
To say the truth, I can actually respond in two ways. First, get angry and start giving you a piece of my mind. Second, play along. The difference? The latter is actually the worse off one because I have no intention to tell you how pathetic you are to have just exposed yourself to me on how much you do not even care about me as a friend. The first category people have at least some hope somewhere, here and there.
A waste of both our precious time. Perhaps not yours, since you were bored from the beginning. But it tells me a lot really, about you; how you think of me; and our totally redundant relationship. Yes. That’s how it is. I don’t care if you just laugh and shrug it off because I’ve already seen your true colours, inside out.
Past few days
Jul 1st
I didn’t realize I got so many long due posts! Did not even blog about Jolene’s birthday
And that was like 12th June, the day we celebrated it x.x But I’m super lazy to type them already. So I guess I shall just skip it ><” Shall blog about what happened the past few days instead (:
Shopped with Jiaying on Tuesday! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Finally bought my new bag. Quite sad to throw away my piano bag though ): Has been with me for so many days. I haven’t change yet. Well, a japan bag for another japan one! Also bought cosmetic spectacles and shoes! Must shop with her next time again because when I shop with the others, in the end I always won’t manage to get whatever I need to buy ><” Now I only need a hotpink cap!
Very tempted to buy the gold cap that day though. Super nice!
Yesterday, met up with my OG mates again for some RMIT visit lecture. Totally stoned. Then after that went to so many places! Super tired after that. At first, we went to have prata, then hopped onto a bus and went to town to play pool. Its actually quite funny how we waste so much time trying to form a decision. We suck at planning totally! I bet we wasted 3 hours trying to get all of us agree on a certain activity and then finally implementing it.
For example, we spent so long looking through the menu when we finally decided to all order prata. Thats super hilarious. The person was like waiting for us for so long then when ordered only prata. I wondered if he felt a little pissed with us

On the way to get our PRATA!

Right side of the table~

Jiajun, trying to act busy while my brother just gave up and happily had his photo taken.

Jasp.

KACHINGS! The right side people look so holy for some reason!

Sandy and Jin when we’re on our way to town.
We walked around town trying to find something to do. Walked past Uniqlo. Miss you guys! ):
Then finally decided on pool and arcade. My first round of pool totally suck though I had patient teachers. Well well, have to do better next time!
Lazy to upload the pictures. Just go to facebook and have a look yeah
Reached home pretty late.
Today morning, went school alone ): Brother is exempted. Seriously, take computing also no POINT! Argh. First day of school was pretty awful for me. The lack of sleep and garlic bread breakfast in the morning totally killed me during the train ride to Bukit Batok. Nearly fainted on the train. Suddenly my vision became blurred and my hearing was blocked. I wonder how many feet did I stepped on in the process of trying to get out of the train. Sorry guys ):
Well, lecture was terrible. Doubts just kept on piling while the Australian lecturer remain in her own world. No idea what she’s saying at all. Finally it was group work time. Junqi, Sweehong and me completed our work really fast. Its either we’re doing it wrongly, or we’re super talented. I think it points more to the first
Anyways, Junqi was sharing with us his experience as a customer service personnel working at Samsung. So funny! All the people that he met and the solutions that he provided when he just joined. The part when he told the person there’s something wrong with the person’s house flooring hence leading to the washing machine displaying an “unbalanced” sign is the best. The person even asked if he was serious as it was quite heavy. Pretty funny that the customer followed his instructions. After some time, Junqi just realized the true meaning of what “unbalanced” means. LOL. I guess it was too late.
After the lecture, JiaJun, Yangchun and Shah met up with us. The “banglas” went up Shah’s van. Had a really fun time. Somehow, Liana became the supervisor and started instructing us to do work. Jiajun’s new name was Muthu, Deepavali for Junqi and Thapusan for Sweehong (not sure of spelling). So the entire ride to West Mall was filled with laughter. We had a short “van dancing” ride. Luckily we didn’t bang any cars. Oh, and Shah’s super cool! Being able to reverse while on a slope is way cool. Perhaps not on an auto car but manual is so COOOL. I totally suck in my driving. Tomorrow, I’m gona learn parallel parking. Hope all goes well ><”
Had lunch at Koufu, then went to play arcade. The lightings and sounds were killing me ><” Luckily Huting, Peiyu and Jasp were outside. So Sweehong and I hanged out with them while waiting for the others. Chatted and crapped a lot. Found another Joyce!
Huiting’s super blur! :X
Shah drove us, the high class workers and Jiajun, the other low class worker back to SIM. Had our second round of lecture which was much easier to understand than the first one. At least this one, we had an idea about the objective of the entire lecture.
Tomorrow’s gona be accounting. Brother says there’s 145 slides. That’s insane. Think its gona be hell! Jiayous jiayous!
Shall go sleep now (: Sweet dreams.
Full-stop
Jun 23rd
There’s pretty much changes in my life recently. The rejection letters for my appeals have came and I guess it is confirmed that I’m enrolling into SIM-RMIT Business management on first July. It might actually be a blessing in disguise. That, I’m still not sure yet but would know once the first semester begins.
Submitted my resignation letter on Sunday night. After explaining to Arao-san and Florence about my situations, they were convinced to let me off (thats a harsh word but I couldn’t think of any better ones). Suddenly I feel that I would miss Uniqlo. From a full-timer, to a part-timer and now, my journey in Uniqlo has ended. Its actually quite hilarious when I recalled the first day I reported for work. That time, I was a newbie. Total newbie, not knowing what to expect from this job. After one month, I was pretty much assured that the job wasn’t what I wanted and kept saying that I would quit. But things dragged on, I made new friends, grew used to the tasks and heavy load. In the end, I stayed on till now. This Friday would be my last day already.
My fifth and last month. Pretty long compared to some previous staffs. Gona work from 8am to 9pm on Friday because I needed to meet the requirement of 20 hours which means that I can’t accompany my mum for her checkup results in the afternoon. I hope all goes well. Sigh. I’m actually pretty worried because of the doctor’s tone the other time after the first scanning ):
Anyways, I didn’t really tell anyone that this Friday would be my last day. Don’t think it really matters. Might sound a little offensive in some sense but life is like this isn’t it? 5 months seem long but the people I’ve encountered and made friends with in this part of my life would most probably be passerbys in my life, considering the average lifespan of 80 years (I wouldn’t want to live that long though). Still, good luck to them. Hope they get what they want in their future and stuff.
Besides work, my life is going to start a new chapter. University life I hope would be a fruitful one despite not being able to get into a local university. There’s an orientation camp on Saturday and Sunday. Two days one night. Not sure what to expect but I’m sure those basic elements such as night walks would not be missing. Well, it seems like I’m actually looking forward to the start of school.
My vacation, days of being idle are approaching and end. However, thats when a new journey begins. Looking forward to it.
Yuki Yaki
Jun 12th
Friday night, we finally executed our Yuki Yaki trip. It was supposed to go Timbre which was called off due to financial issues. I even suggested taking Mac Takeaway and eat outside the restuarant. Absurd! But Joyce told me that her friends did that before. Seems like I’m not the only one who would come up with such ideas. Well, beggars can’t be choosers!
As usual, we were LATE! However, I wasn’t the latest! In fact, my brother and I were the earliest. Hence we decided to drop by Orchard Ion for a short shopping trip before we meet Joyce at Cityhall interchange. When I reached, Joyce texted me to say that she got the bag and was ultra disappointed with it. In case you do not understand, the bag is actually a “branded” bag from Heeren which we had to pay an astonishing amount for. When I saw that red thing, I was disappointed as well! I always thought that it was a branded tote bag or something. It totally CLASHED with our “make Jolene demure” plan. A backpack with demure clothes. Totally mismatching! But Joyce said that it was something she really wanted so I guess we had to make do with it. I mean, its her birthday present. So as long as she likes it right? (:
On the way to Suntec, we were attracted by the huge flier pasted outside MPH. “MOVING OUT SALES. 90% REDUCTION”. The books were selling at an unbelieveable price! Usually its at least 25 bucks and now they are slashed to 6 bucks. Can you believe it? One book for only FOUR BOOKS. Thats insane! We got stuck in there for like half an hour before dragging ourselves out of store. My brother and I managed to buy 4 books at only 20 bucks!
Super happy! I could totally understand how our mums feel happy when they bring coupons to the Supermarket just to save that few cents except mine is tens of dollars.
When we were reaching the PC show, people who were leaving our destination were carrying huge boxes and bags. Brands like Epson and Fujitsu were all over the place. I was wondering if we would be part of the crowd too, an hour later or something. It seems that I thought too much. The number of people there totally ruined our shopping moods. There were too many! It was super squeezy which made air really heavy. It was also warm and we could hear promoters with their glib tongues trying to outpass their competitor’s deals by adding more flaunt to their explanations. Those accumlated and ended in noise pollution, at least to my ears. In the end, we left empty handed but mission accomplished. Seems like Apple Online Store is still selling their MacBook Pro at a better deal compared to the PC show. A free IPod touch. Thats way better!
After that, we met up with Jiaying at Yuki Yaki in Marina Square. Once she saw us, her face brighted up and was explaining to us in a high pitched tone about how she prepared herself for this trip wearing an elastic skirt. It was my first time inside. Normally, I would just walk pass it and look at the people inside enjoying their buffets. Now, its finally my turn! Had to say that there wasn’t that much of a variety of food but the marinated chicken meat was awesome! I love the BBQ one which was heavily recommended by Joyce and Jiaying.


After that, I was banned from the hot plate but I earned a better deal. Jiaying was filling my plate with chicken meat for me
Oh yeah. We also commenced our “fattening Joyce up” plan which I guess didn’t really succeed in the end because all of us were eating so much. But when Joyce wanted to eat rice, we encouraged her and even volunteered to help her take extra servings. I think that worked a little. More CARBOS! Muahahah!

Look! We even separated the hot plate into 2 parts. The meat half for Joyce and the other for the 3 of us. Which means we only had TOFU!
While waiting for the meat to get cooked, I got bored and started snapping pictures~

Jiaying busy texting her bf. Talking about this, Jiaying was sharing with us the Uniqlo incident. One fateful day, they decided to drop by Uniqlo Ion and find me. Apparently, her bf mixed me up with Ling Lan and then pointed someone who is around the same stature as Ling Lan and said that was me. Jiaying then cleared the misunderstand and told him I was someone else! And coincidentally, I wasn’t working on that day. How lucky.

After showing this picture to them, Jiaying wanted me to snap another one, wanting to take a thinner version of her. So the plan was to stay more back and also not to take her body. So it turned out like this

Somewhat successful in some sense!

Manage to get a shot of Joyce cleaning her teeth. She insisted that I delete it away but I decided to not let her off because she has been such a “friend” lately! I was complaining to Jiaying about how I see Joyce every week and she still has no idea whats happening to me. So disappointing ): Jiaying then bragged about how she knew on first hand about my itouch dropping in the toilet bowl incident which even her bf knows because jiaying told him. JOYCE?! She doesn’t even KNOWWWWW!

Jiaying, with a SHOCKED face.

My older brother, trying to ignore the presence of the camera and pretending to be doing something.

- The chicken went back to where it came from – Jiaying
Finally, the much awaited ICE CREAM! I seriously thought that frying ice cream actually means throwing scoops of ice cream into the oil. Seems like I was deceived for years! At least know I understand ><
It was super fun but then ruined by some waitress attitude which totally sucked. Her actions kind of became our laughter after Jiaying’s numerous imitations.

Joyce and my brother were super impressed with their master piece of Peppermint chocolate which Jiaying and I both agreed look a little gross. It looked more like green tea bubble tea with pearls or something.
After Yuki Yaki, we went for a short shopping session and took the train home.
Exhausted but had much fun (:
