Had another class gathering on Friday as well as sort of farewell party for those that are enlisting next week. Rushed down after work to Geraldine's old penthouse to help with the bbq preparation. That house is really cool! Like a playhouse - Pool table, air hockey table, K room, mahjong room and a bbq area on the second floor. One word to describe the catching up, drinking, eating and playing - fun! We even saw some red light activities outside the condo. It's like 'spying' on them. Lols. Finally gave up on staying up with them and slept for an hour or so before getting ready to go work. Working + rushing + gathering activities + lack of sleep + working again = dead tired. Well, at least that gathering had put in some fun in my life for this week especially when I can't get to play soccer with the guys on Saturday anymore for the month of February. Actually, I am getting bored of working at there although my job scope is so much better than Shiwee's. I can't wait to finish my job and try to get another one that I really like. Anyway, class gathering is always nice even if it is just a meet-up for dinner or what. Let's see if we can go for K at Teo Heng soon. =)

mixed feelings for the month of February
why must Feb be here so fast?
sometimes time just passes too quickly
and I doubt you would let me do something that I really hoped to do
after all, everything is just..
oh well

its 44 now and starts with a K! =)

Yesterday SUCKS!

Doing customer service lets u meet different kind of people; some will make ur day good while some will just make it real bad. If I know I had to do customer service, I would have take up the starhub job which is so much better. Answering phone calls and helping them is instead of having to see them face to face. Getting pissed off by them when face to face makes you feel like punching them in the face but obviously you can't. At least when on the phone,you know you can't do any physical hurt on that caller, you won't even harbour that thought. Seriously, the saying that "customer is always right" is nonsense. If you(customer) is feeling agitated, just keep it to yourself instead of making another one angry. Ok, I will get to the point.
The bank ran out of new notes at 3.30pm and we had to tell the customer one by one that we ran out of them. This guy came in at 4pm and went straight to the table to fill in the withdrawal form. I approached him, said "excuse me, sir" and waited for his response. He took 30sec to reply me with a "what? what you want?" in a want-to-bite-you tone. Told him we ran out of new notes and he said "i want to make an ordinary withdrawal. I didn't even say I want new notes" in that similar tone. Seriously, wtf. My day went well for me and just left 30mins to end of bank operation hour and he had to piss me off. So what if you are rich? Rich but no basic manners at all. Wth. You should just spend your money on attending lessons on manners and anger management. Stupid. Treat service line people like someone whom you can vent your anger on? How about you take over the job and see if it's easy? Maybe you should just paste all your money on your stupid pathetic face so that people won't recognise you when you piss them off. That would save both parties a huge favour.
3rd day and I met such customer. And by the way, I am still learning. I received no trainings, no additional information and have to learn everything from a security guard when that's not his job scope. Why can't people understand and open their damn eyes and see my trainee badge?
I would rather get pissed off by seeing badly done homework done by kids/students. At least they have the right to be forgived. A grown-up that don't even know basic manners and put on the I-am-rich-so-I-can-behave-whatever-I-want attitude totally don't deserve that right and is seriously wasting Earth resources. To me, treat me well and I will treat you well. Don't think that you rightfully deserve preferential treatment just because you are old or rich. I don't give a damn. Damn it.

This shows that customer service is totally not the right job for me or I am just new to this job and not used to it. In any case, people should really pay more attention to their behaviour. Something that no one can help you to do so except for yourself.

I finally gave the answer to Sok Peng. But I couldn't be sure of that answer either. Didn't expect her to agree with my reasoning. Only time will tell whether my answer is truly correct. Oh well..

its 44 now and starts with a K! =)

Was thinking whether taking up this job was a wrong idea. 2 days and it doesn't seem like the kind of job I would want to spend time doing even though it is just a month job. The job is actually easy but have to be very sure of the different services available and where to direct them to. There's nothing exciting or challenging. The 2nd day was much better than the 1st day but it is the still the same thing happening from the start of work to the end of work. The worst thing is I have to continue standing on the 45min direct bus ride home. -.- Oh well.. At least I get to learn something new especially when this is my first job.

Still yet to really go think about Sok Peng's question. But regardless of the answer, I doubt there will be anything happening. Not that I definitely want something to happen, but having an answer to that question serves as an alternative to something else.

Talking to people that you hardly talk to gives you a very different feeling. Recently talked to Vivian whom I wasn't in the same class as her for all four years in secondary school, Daphne whom I knew since primary school but didn't talk much after that and only saw her at the CI course J08 and Kehua too. The catching-up part is always nice. Haha.

you just give me this feeling that you are worth it
tell me why

its 44 now and starts with a K! =)

Went out with Amelin, Irene and Shiwee on Thursday but Shiwee met us in the evening because he had Japanese lesson in the afternoon. So the three of us went to Far East to shop and catch-up at the same time. Wasn't in the "buying-things" mood so I didn't get anything but the other two girls bought. I was surprised to see Roslin there with her mum. It was like "eh! hello~~". Lols. After shopping, we went over to Isetan Orchard to slack and took some photos there. Then we saw Dawn Yeoh (姚懿珊)! Amelin was like hesistating whether to approach her and take photo for like 30mins before deciding to do so. End up, she and Irene took photos with her and I wasted this opportunity because I was sneezing badly when they approached her. Zzz.. After that, we went over to Iluma and met up with Shiwee to eat dinner and watch "Tooth Fairy". The show is not bad, got those sad parts and of course funny parts. Quite a nice show lah. Yup

Then on Friday, had to go to Tanjong Pagar for job briefing. I am being posted to Siglap branch and Shiwee is being posted to Tampines branch. That's like not fair luh. I need to travel so far, well at least further than him. Don't really know what I have to do there though. They said there will be another briefing by the Branch Service Manager (BSM) there. Oh well. After that, went down to Dunman to sort out some things and went to bubble tea shop with Vivian and talked for a while. I thought she was just kiddding when she said she wanted to join an uniformed group CCA (NPCC) during her internship period. End up, she really joined. But I can't pei her on those Fridays that she need to stay back since my job ends on 27th Feb and there won't be training until after March holidays. By that time, she would have left if she doesn't want to continue. Didn't know that there was such internship programme offered by MOE. If not, I would have tried my luck. Guaranteed 9 weeks attachment to a school if selected out of the 800+ applicants and still get paid. I really do need a teaching dry run before committing myself.

Went down to Dunman on Saturday to help out with their campcraft competition training. It was a full flagstaff training day and they don't even look bored. I didn't expect that. In the evening, went to check out the working area at Siglap. Doesn't looks as bad as I though. There's like NTUC, Cold Storage, Pizza Hut, Mac, KFC, Starbucks and a couple of food court there. But the thing is that I have 2 30mins breaks. Having doubts about finishing my food on time though. Oh well, I will only find out next week.

Not sure if I am really looking forward to working. But all I know is that I am like wasting my this free time. Heard from some of my friends that they are taking driving theory tests, practical lessons, foreign language lessons, sports lessons etc. I am like staying at home unless I need to go out for outing etc. Oh man..I don't even know why I didn't go for all these lessons. At least they will make my holiday much more enriching,fulfilling and less boring! Argh~~~

it is a letter that many people uses
it also stands for an activity
but they don't know that to me, the moment I hear it, it carries a totally different meaning

I wasn't planning to try it out until recently, accidentally. Lower your expectations of other people and lower your guard at the same time, you will realise that it will be much easier to talk to them despite the fact that you and them don't really have much common topics to talk about due to lack of interaction or age difference. Random topics and laughter will always keep the talk going and you will feel that there's nothing to be awkward of. Open yourself up and be willing to be part of the conversation, understanding what they are talking about even though you totally don't have a clue in the first place. Play the catch-up role if you have to and you may even have a positive feeling after that. There are certain things that you must not avoid trying. If you never try, you will never know. There ain't any 100% success in life and whether you want to have that success feeling depends on whether you are willing to take the first step.

Anyway, still on the "talking" part, have you realised that it will be much easier to talk to someone whom you liked in the past but don't like currently? Something like you like Girl A last time but like Girl B now, then you try talking to Girl A now, it is much easier as compared when you still like her. It doesn't work for all though, but I think for majority, it will be of such case.

Finished watching Why Why Love yesterday and I'm on to my next old ou xiang ju, Devil Beside You. Haha. Well, since it's ou xiang ju, of course you will watch those shows that shows those celebrities you follow. So even if the show is old, you will still want to watch it. I doubt I can finish watching DBY by next week since I should be starting work by then. Oh well, it's about time that I start working after slacking and waiting for phone calls for close to a month. Going to make full use of this week to enjoy before starting work.

still wondering how you are doing now
but I doubt I will have the answer any soon unless I..
and thanks to Sok Peng, I got a very good question to think about
oh well..

你是我身体里的时钟
甚麼时候都让我感动
你想我想的事 做我做的梦
陪著你 不会浪费一秒钟
与你跨过爱情的时空
全世界的钟 吵吵闹闹吵闹都没用
跟你抱著过 跟你看著时间流动

I just realised that I always get into such mess. Coming into my 7th year, I am still unable to let go. I don't know what will happen after I enlist in end April. I guess this coming February will be "dry-run" of what's going to happen after April. Oh well.. is it passion and commitment or just no choice but to do so? Honestly, whatever that have happened since the 5th year frequently give me headaches. It is like, "why can't they just listen and follow?" etc. Despite those problems, I still managed to find pleasure in what I have been doing since then. Till the day when I finally give up and unable to commit anymore, I guess I will continue contributing what I can and hopefully they will appreciate what I have done since my 5th year.

Kind of feel that life is boring now. Totally nothing to look forward to. Staying at home watching ou xiang ju and playing the same old game. Don't even know whether my job starting on next week Monday is confirmed. Even if so, that job will still leave me time to think about things. The ou xiang ju(s) serve as distractions but what has been on my mind will always be there.

Ok, enough of those sad and emo stuff. Finally there will be a class chalet after so much unfinished planning. This class chalet is going to be a different and if everything goes well, it's going to be fun! At least this is something that I can look forward to. Spending time with the rest of them when we still can. But if I do get that job, I have to rush down after work and leave early on the next day for work. Crap.

Anyway, I made a mistake about the release date of Luo Zhi Xiang's new album. It should be 15th Jan and not 24th Jan. And I am hearing his new album now. The songs are nice especially those songs that are used for Hi My Sweetheart like 爱疯头 and 爱不单行. If you don't that kind of "this song is damn nice" feel, then you should watch the ou xiang ju to get that feel! Haha.

爱 只有简单笔画 却比想象复杂
恨安定爱变化
我爱过几个人 也被爱过几遍
却还是没能将幸福留下
爱 是不可数的吗 为何我还相信
它不是独行侠
我在等一个人 在等我的永恒
告诉我爱不单行别害怕

Had this nostalgic feeling when I went back to MJC for open house yesterday. I saw the study room and started remembering those times when me and Shiwee were in there studying for A Levels in October. Then we met people like Tania and Mayves and maybe Irene. But it was through Amelin that I know Irene. So that doesn't count. Lols. This year's open house was quite ok and lively because of the inter-house mass dance competition and the various performing arts performance. The feeling was totally different when you are just a visitor and when you are part of the open house events. Anyway, I went to show Chun Luan,Roslin and Edwina around the college and let them know more about MJC. After that mini-tour, I went to find the rest of the class people at Sakae Sushi for some sushi buffet (but I didn't eat).

Anyway, I don't know why but these few days, I have the urge to cook a proper dish. As in, I do the cooking with no one helping me to prepare the ingredients, except my mum who buy the ingredients for me. Last weekend, I made baked chicken with cheese and it turned out good and edible. Of course, there are still room for improvements. If nothing crops up later in the afternoon, I will be cooking fusillini with spaghetti sauce. Lols. Hopefully it will be successful. If so, then this weekend, maybe baked pasta? But I yet to bake cookies for casual eating. Maybe that will also be over this weekend. Haha.

The feeling of being jobless is really not shuang. Especially when most of your friends are working or not working because of going to be enlisted soon. Having a job is sian, but having no job is even more sian. Crap. Just waiting for the phone call till the "promised" date. Patiently waiting and continue watching ou xiang ju in the meantime. Oh well..

doubt I will forget about it
it isn't easy to let you leave my mind

Finished watching ToGetHer (爱就宅一起) after a week. It is almost like watching 2 episodes a day. You may think that it is quite slow, but I still have other things to do. Didn't expect that I would have such feelings while watching that ou xiang ju and it happened 4 times! It just happened like that and I couldn't control it. The after feeling is even weirder. Lols. Anyway, while waiting for Hi My Sweetheart (海派甜心) to be uploaded every week, I am watching other ou xiang ju such as Why Why Love (换换爱) which I am currently watching. If you notice a similarity among the shows that I watch, I couldn't help it. Haha.

Anyway, since the last blog post, the other things that I have been doing include:
going out with Amelin on Thursday (think straight!)
supper with Sok Peng on Friday morning 2am
NPCC training on Friday afternoon
soccer at TP with sec sch friends on Saturday morning
bowling with bowling people on Sunday afternoon
but there isn't work. I desperately need a job so that I won't "rot" at home. Well, having a job is sian but having no job is even more sian. It is like studying like that. Don't you think so? At least having a job keeps my mind occupied and won't really allow me to 胡思乱想. And I finally got a new high score for bowling! The highest score that I have gotten before yesterday was 199. Argh! And the latest high score that I got now is 223 (8 strikes, 2 spares and 2 open frames). I was totally shocked. I didn't expect to attain that score especially when my first two games were lousy. Woohoo! Super happy luh. Haha! Look below (SP) - I didn't change the score.


I believe life which includes you will be different in a positive way

Have been watching some old ou xiang ju recently like ToGetHer (爱就宅一起) so didn't really have the time to update. But I also not really watching them super fast such that I don't have time to do other things. Well, maybe it is just that I don't really have things to type here. Anyway, I can't wait for Hi My Sweetheart (海派甜心) episode 11 to be out! Want to know how things will carry on from there and it is the climax part! Lols. It is so much nicer to be at Taiwan especially if you want to catch first hand ou xiang ju(s) and new album. For example,you need to wait for at least a day to watch the latest ou xiang ju currently showing in Taiwan And, Luo Zhi Xiang (罗志祥) 's new album (罗生门) is going to be released on 24th January in Taiwan if I am not wrong.

I guess I can't know more even if I want to
how am I supposed to ask you?
wonder how you are doing now
during last year, I have already expected that this will come
I didn't really give much thought to it
just seizing all the time that I had
oh well..

another matter
although I know you for 5 years already
somehow I still dont really know the actual you
many comments have been made against you
some fit but some don't
but who am I to judge you?
if you are happy with your life now, then good for you

its 44 now and starts with a K! =)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ok, I know I am late but it is better late than never. Lols. Went to Teo Heng to K with the class people on New Year's Eve. Sang from 2-7pm which is really shuang although some of us were having sore throat and cough. I am beginning to enjoy K-ing. After that, we took bus from Katong to Suntec City to meet Yingshi before having dinner at Pizza Hut. Took a couple of photos at the christmas tree outside Suntec then walked to Esplanade Park to catch the fireworks. There wasn't much hype at there since the party was on the other side of the bridge. But this year's fireworks was really very nice. Took a video of it but some parts were being blocked by the tree. -.- After counting down, we went to play pool at Parkway until 4am before having breakfast. Sat there, ate and crap until 6am then left there for home. And that was the start of hearing the single beep when I tapped my ez-link card. It doesn't feel right especially after having double beeps for 12 years and suddenly you have to pay adult fare from now on. Sometimes, being student ain't that bad after all. I think being student is still the best. All you have to do is just to study and don't really have to worry about other things. Lols.

Somehow to me, everyday seems to be the same. Be it Christmas or New Year's Day, I don't get that kind of excitement which I was expecting especially after A Levels and the start of the enjoyment period. Am I expecting too much or is just that I was at the wrong place?

The start of the new year which means it is the start of me trying to get a job until my enlistment which I yet to know when! Damn. I kept on forgetting to make that call. Zzz. And some of my friends are also going to be enlisted soon. This coming Monday, Yilong, Justin, Daniel and Junhao are going to Tekong. That's really very fast. Soon, Song Yang and Joshua are going in. While they are not looking forward to it (I suppose), I am actually looking forward to mine because I really want to know when I am going to be enlisted. There isn't this safety blanket below me and the feeling ain't good when you become the victim of the not-so-efficient system.

I guess what SW said was right. But I can't do anything about it at the moment even though days in the future will never be the same as those days in the past. There's just something that makes me not want to let go. I think I will continue tomorrow or another time. Feeling sleepy already.
