i finally could take a breather. for the past weekend, i was so uptight that i couldn't breathe. because, my killer paper for Consumer Behaviour was yesterday. despite the test only covered 4 chapters, i just couldn't take the pressure. the best part was: the paper was on structured questions.
and that's only a mid-term test. faint!
also, my parent's divorce are finalized. my mum's moving out with my brothers, and since everyone's moving out, i might as well stay in. somehow, i still can't really accept the fact that things were "finalized". it's so surreal, especially to have to know my parents are not going to stay together like they had for the past 30 years.
life's about changing, isn't it?

getting disfigured...
i don't know what's wrong with my face. maybe i've been looking into the mirror too frequent, therefore i'm getting the "side effects". haa... ok, i'm not makin' g sense here.
anyway, those little bumps on my face are what i called "prickles". heard them before? they usually appear when the skin comes in contact with dirt or dust on fabric. and i think i gotten them from my pillow, coz' i was lying on my sides and suddenly i felt my face itch. the best part is, "prickles" wasn't just that side of my face, it somehow was spread across my entire forehead to my temples. and today, my cheeks and chin somehow got it as well.
i don't think it's anything to do with my cleansers or my makeup. i've been using them till finishing and none of these symptoms came. and with my sensitive skin, reaction would have surfaced the moment i used any of those stuff.
so i put my bet on the contaminated or unfreshed oysters i've eaten with YM @ Blk 85. he ordered "or lua". even though i didn't take much, but i know my body just have some reaction to unfreshed seafood. but why does it have to take out on my face??? argh...
right now, my foundation are still able to conceal the redness. however, there's still bumps. haix... help help...
hope i'll recover by tomorrow....

desperation?
yesterday, i was working at unearthly shift of 6pm to Close. my AM was around then and he spoke with me. i was thinking i must have did something wrong but this time, i thought wrong. it was actually a very shocking news.
recently, there was a theft case involved. no one had the faintest idea of who, when, or what happened. all we knew was Annual Stock Take had been postponed. so yesterday, was the moment of truth.
K, our new SM, was found guilty.
it's like, OMFG!! endless questions were running through my head. most of us looked up to her, even though she's a butch. she's a fun person to work with, and most importantly she "protects" her full-timers. the feeling of her doing such things was so surreal. something i believe none of us would expect.
anyway, it was money involved. and a pretty huge sum was missing. therefore, it could be easily traced. but somehow, is it all worth it?
it's so sad. and it kinds of affects the team's morale. worse still, my AM said there'll be no SM coming over and he's putting it that way at the moment. damn! my that 2nd would really be in-charge now. i don't know whether she would be promoted due to this case but, i sincerely hope not. maybe not when i'm still around in BJ. hey, leaders are super important one lor...
anyway, she plans sucky roster, that's for sure. ha...

i'm feeling such a dumbass...
i'm feeling WAY sucky. mood was already nosediving since morning, and all thanks to this blardy bastard who's a know-it-all part-timer in BJ. his name is, Po Chien, proudly known as PC.
i had this pretty heated argument with him. believe he has been quite a big bully from the time i know him. even my other colleagues felt that he always picked on me, and god knows why. he has given me a hard time almost since the day i know him. not only that, he has completely no respect for me or others in the shop. basically because he felt he knew alot more than the other staff who came in later or much later than him, regardless of the position the newcomer may be. imagine, i'm a Senior in BJ and he's a part-timer, he could actually command ME to do things? what audacity he has huh??!
anyway, i think it's time that i fought for myself. he gladly stepped over my head since Day 1, knowing the fact i wasn't all-knowing. he even sarcastically said that he worked here for more than a year and he didn't even gotten any complains, whereas i kena once. and he continued saying that he has never failed a MS (mystery shopper's evaluation) before as well, whereas i failed twice.
gosh, such loser.
however, little did he expect that my failure may be worse than him, but my successes are much more significant than him! i told him that, and it kinds of shut him up. c'mon lo. i'll learn from my mistakes lo. if i'm still that bad, do you think my Area Manager would even give me a thumbs up for my improvement? hng! i doubt he even know that lor! still so much hot air! as if i'm like him, literally GO to almost everyone (sometimes even customers) and ASK for compliments if he felt he did the right thing. such cheapskate right!?
so, perhaps you guys can do me this simple favor: pop by BJ when i'm not around, gives him a real BLARDY hard time and see what kind of attitude he'll give you, EVEN as a customer. then, immediately flush down a complain letter to our customer service! wahahaha.... can't wait to gloat man!! and i doubt they'll take that as some conspiracy. kekeke....
anyway, i know what his reactions would be - defensive. TOTALLY defensive. he has such HUGE ego that i just can't help but to deflate it. i even got feedback from other part-timers that he has this "chao kuan", where he enjoys insulting other people but cannot take it when others poke him back. he's ultimate petty, full of crap and shits, and totally disrespectful. i sincerely hope i'll be there to see the day he FALLS.
although i fought for my rights, i didn't feel very good overall. coz' it affects the team morale, and i never felt good quarrelling with someone even though it's for a good cause.
so my mood was dragged to later the evening.
i was caught in between both classmates - trying to push the problem to each other. it all started when my guy classmate, L, decided to consolidate names to photocopy the text, and my girlfriend, M, not too sure if she got the correct text with her. somehow or rather, L decided to proceed with the photocopy despite that he wasn't sure if M wanted the book. 2 days later, M told L that she need not the book anymore coz' she had the right edition. so, i've no idea how come L only gotten back to me (he didn't have M's number) that he wasn't able to cancel the order. he said the auntie gave him the "special" price coz' he wanted to print 10 or more books and he had exactly 10 books to be printed. so by adjusting the number lower, the prices would revert to its original. and i guessed L thought for eveybody's pocket so he decided to proceed. how i know he decided to leave the problem with M to solve, and M is not willing to entertain his nonsense since she felt she has given him ample time to cancel her order?
so with all the reluctance and i'm like the middleman for the both of them, i decided to absorb the book, thinking that it wouldn't be too tough for me to find a buyer. however, little did i know that almost everyone in my class has gotten their texts! so i'm like stuck with 2 texts now.
i feel so lousy coz' i've not enough cash to tide me over to next week. and i've like already borrowed a hundred from my mum and it's just not nice to borrow more from her. somehow, i'm such a smart alec, doing the wrong things thinking it's right. argh!
YM said i'm too nice, constantly thinking for other people but not myself. maybe i am, but i don't feel that way.
i feel so lousy....

a hustle and bustle week!
ahh, feels so good to sit in front of the PC and types away. man, it has been a hectic schedule for me. coz' Bugis underwent 2 huge and major transition, and i was involved in the whole thing.
1stly, it was transitioning from a normal, function store to a price point store. meaning to say, we'd changed into a budget store, selling all the heavily discounted items. price ranges from as low as $6 to $19. and a denim jeans jacket used to be $79, now priced at $19! wah! anyway, the items are past seasoned items which the warehouse needed to clear stock.
so i remember on Sunday night, ALL regular priced items and other items which are not supposed to be in Bugis are to be returned to warehouse or to other stores. i stayed till 11pm that day. afterwhich my shift the next day is actually Morning.
the following 3 days till Wednesday are all Morning shifts and i went home late as usual coz' i had classes. after that, i was in the Afternoon shift on Thursday but worked till 10.30pm. and that very night we had to stock out all the price point items again! they said we're converting back to function store. kaoz!
so the following morning, had to report as early as 8am to help re-setup of the whole blardy store again (and i'm on Full shift lor!!). but this time, we're converting to a much higher-end of function store, i.e. Pseudo. i don't know how that is pronounced. all i know is we're some sort of an image store already. and seriously, it felt different working for a lelong outlet and an image outlet.
all the hassle and bustle really drained me out, totally. finally, my Rest Day is today. and i have a test tomorrow, 10 blardy chapters to cover. =.=
2ndly, i finally gotten my payslip! so dumb! and i was darn right about them shortchanging me! angry!!
they deducted my non-paid leave for a good whole 5 days! neh neh! it's supposed to be 3 days not 5 days lor! even though i've taken 5 days of leave, but in my roster, they've given me 2 rest days among the total number of leaves. ARSEHOLE! and somemore, i was supposed to receive DOUBLE commission based on me being Raffles Place staff. but i believed they thought i was still Bugis staff at that point in time. so i didn't receive my full commission. ARGH! so in total, i'm expecting about another 250 from the company.
WAH LAU! THAT'S SOME MONEY CAN!!
with those already in my pocket, i would have paid my stupid instalment and would be using my lappie NOW lor!! and i wouldn't have to borrow from my mum lor!!!
damn pissed!
ya, i did talked to my Area Manager. glad that he would clarify for me. how long it gonna take, i dunno. and i have this bloody gut feeling that my commission discrepancies would continue this month when i'm to receive my pay. coz' i would officially be Bugis's staff last week onwards due to my confirmation but last month, as an RP staff, we hit the double commission thinggie as well. grr...
so, that pretty much sums up my hectic week. i haven't started studying yet. heh. and i'm meeting one of my classmates to do project later. haix.

AIYAAAAA, when's my extra commission coming in?!?!?!
the stupid company shortchanged me lor! i'm supposed to have double commission and they only paid me the original commission, not the doubled one. so sianz!!
like i shared with my 3rd-in-charge, somehow Giordano management seems to be quite insincere about the commission plan. we strived so hard to hit the sales and earn money for the company, they somehow get so insensitive and overlooked it. of course, that may not be the case lar, but waiting for the blardy pay slip to come takes ages lor! and the best part is that there doesn't seem to be any news whether when they'll pay us back. *grumble* need the money lar!
anyway, i just watched Monster House. not too bad show. think it should be my 1st cartoon horror show and yet captivating! hur. no money liao, still watch movie eh. die la. at least it kinds of make my money worth. i like the storyline too. easy to grasp. YM was like laughing out LOUD lor, coz one of the character super act, damn cute. people like mei mei, CK, justin, Hua and Mun, should go catch it. hehehe...
also, i haven't collected my lappie yet. i lent YM some cash and i'm now real low on cash, no money to pay the 1st instalment. ha. so embarassing actually. i think the salesperson wouldn't come hound on me yet coz' i don't think he has that good following up skills. just because of that stupid commission lor! HAIX!
i'm working again tomorrow after class. haix. so tired really. when i 1st joined Giordano, i could still enjoy the 3 days 1 rest routine. now, work 5 to 6 days then rest once. so "wah lau" lor.
and i FINALLY confirm liao wor! my Area Manager informed me. he said it would be as early as the 1st. when he said that, i think it's 1st of this month hor? coz' he did share that he hadn't get the chance to see me till that day when i was at RP. yay! only 100 bucks more, better than nothing hor? but now the thing is, I DON'T WANT TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ANYWHERE ELSE! sincerely hoping i would stay in RP!!
now i can concentrate my on studies, since i've managed to cross the 1st hurdle. =) and hopes everything else falls in as per planned.
actually, now i'm thinking of moving to the office. but as what? i don't know... well, it's just a thought coz' i'm abit tired of retail lah. and that doesn't mean anything. maybe i'm beginning to miss the routined life. i'm ficker, i know. i've yet to meet a good boss/company that would take care of employees' welfare. but at the moment, i just have to bear the retail hours for another 6 more months or so before trying my luck to get into Gior's backend operations.
somehow, i can't wait for that day to come!

my life is sucha BORE!
my life's so sad, really. having a boyfriend didn't help brighten my life at times when i need it. i know i'm spoilt to the max, constantly demanding for attention. yeah, i need ALOT of attention especially when i don't get it back home.
it's already 5pm. how much time i've wasted doing NOTHING since i woke up this morning at 9.30am. only surfing aimlessly online just to kill time.
sometimes i can't help wondering if i've tons of cash where i could actually complained that movies aren't producing fast enough to feed my needs, where i could whine about having too many friends that i don't have enough time to meet all of them. and prolly when i've finished the last batch of friends to meet up, it'll take me 2 months before i could repeat the cycle, starting back from the 1st batch of friends to meet.
i'm pathetic isn't it?
my life is all about struggling with meagre income, the threat from management in the company about it's-ur-business-if-you-didn't-hit-the-target-for-the-month (bloody hell), being a lost sheep about studies and projects, no time and money for leisure activites like retail therapy and clubbing, bearing through a mindless war at home among 2 grown-up kids... and the list just continues! when will be the time where i would say things like, "geez, i don't know what i want. erm, i just have EVERYTHING!" that ranges from endless supplies of clothes and accessories from Gucci, Chanel and YSL, lingeries strictly from Victoria's Secret, a range of sedan cars, a private yatch and jet, and maybe a Zoo to add the neverending collection. i think that will never come.
if only my dad is Hilton, or Richie. or my mumsie a Taylor, even if i've lotsa dads in return. life would be SOoO much more different. i can be a spoilt brat but no one would make a notion out of it. even my stinky fart, paparazies would splat it across the magazines and make a huge deal out if it, telling people how it could nuclearize the earth. that could have made my life more interesting.
i'm such a whiner, coz' i'm a Singaporean. whiners = Singaporean. which results in depressing entries like this.
i know there're lots of people out there much worse off than me. but hey, i'm not in their shoes y'know. and i don't feel blessed in my own shoes. and blame the media for broadcasting the rich all the time, making the lower class people so depressed and angry.
and yes, blaming is one tool we humans do best. of course we blame on something or someone else for whatever went wrong. that's only to make us feel better rather than having ourselves feel guilty. who wants to feel miserable in the 1st place, right? or not, what makes us Singaporeans constantly blaming our World-Class (deemed across the world) Govts for their efforts to flourish Singapore as now? it's not a sweeping statement okay? or not, we Singaporeans wouldn't portray as "whiners" across the continent.
what else i haven't complained?

finally fell ill...
it's quite creepy to fall ill now, especially when a couple of days ago, i was hoping i would fall ill and rest. you can say i've gotten my wish come true... haha...
anyway, it was horrible going to work thinking i'm not feeling that bad. i'm already feeling lethargic and i knew a fever would be coming up when i felt extremely cold. when i'm finally released earlier to go home, i felt the awkward warmth on my face. and the doc told me i'm having a fever of 38.5 temperature. also, my tonsils are inflamed, which leads to my fever. hmm...
so there i am, feeling much better after PLENTY of rest. and it's really plenty of rest. haven't slept that much for decades. feel so lazy now... ha!
then, i tripped upon mei mei's bloggie and saw that she too, quite bo liao. i didn't know she had time to try online quizzes. i enjoyed doing that as well and it's really good to know that i've TIME and ENERGY to carry out something bo liao now. heh...
Damn! i thought i'm like so much MORE bitchier...
i know YM view me this way... =)
this is cute...
hehehehe...
i was hoping to be some colorful sundae or something... but it's still yummy!
a Beagle?! provided it'll remain a puppy size... and i still love Fuji okay??
what a crappy pick up line! *snort!*

good movie! and bought a lappie!
The Devil Wears Prada. i somehow didn't understand about the "Prada" thinggie. other than having Meryl Steep carrying a Prada handbag in the first introductory scene, i hardly sees her character as a Prada fanatic. unless, the scriptwriter trying to put across that Prada is some sort of a "representative" for all the other posh and glam products that has appeared in the movie.
but seriously, after watching it, i suddenly wanted to be in New York where they wear such high-class and fashionable clothes that i couldn't say anything else other than staring in awe. even YM was fascinated with all the fuss of Chanel, CK, Prada (duh), Valentino and whatever you can think off.
i cried at some scenes. somehow i just did.
overall, 3.5 stars.
i felt the story could have been slightly longer, telling us more details than giving us the "pictures speaks louder than words" theory. and of course, censorship of certain scenes really affects the storyline, leaving it slightly shallow.
-----
okie! i've bought HP DV2009TX from Comex via Courts. they bundled a Lexmark printer and DV tuner (i don't know what's that) into the package which cost me $2399. reasonable la. i'm giving YM the printer since there's no use of it and i can't fetch much with Lexmark printers coz' they're pretty known for their expensive cartridges. and they don't really last long as well.
i don't have the physical item with me now coz' i've took up an installment plan for 18 months, costing me about slightly less than 200 per month. it is supposed to be cheaper but i've decided to purchase the extended warranty and Accident coverage from Courts. even though i felt there isn't much a need but somehow i didn't want to buy chances especially when most parts of electronic gadgets comes from China and assemble there as well. so, might as well la.
however, it's gonna be my 1st and probably the last time i'm going to purchase such item from Comex. i'll never forget that stupid salesman from Courts who provide such poor service! he wasn't equipped with the right information about the DV tuner that came with the purchase, and made me and YM walking up and down the WHOLE bloody comex fair looking for HP booths to redeem our item. and the best part was, there were 3 different HP booths in Comex, one in each Hall, and none of their HP salespeople knew what the hell was a DV tuner, let alone a redemption for it. so blardy pissed i tell you! i felt so stupid, asking stupid questions and gotten stupid answers.
anyway, finally we managed to find the right person, apparently from HP but he's situated at Courts' booth. he told us that we need to get the physical item (i.e. the laptop) with us before we're able to redeem the DV tuner. the procedures include having the serial number on the laptop. and when we returned to the Courts Salesperson (arsehole), he didn't know it was that way. wah lau!! what kind of sales person is that?!?!? but at least he apologized for having to waste our time.
so ya, 1st purchase with such bad impression. like i've told YM, next time, i would just purchase from Courts directly. at least the sales person knows MORE and it's also near home (Tampines outlet). somehow, i don't mind just pay slightly more to buy satisfaction for service.
i'm supposed to fax my payslip... forgotten totally and that arsehole salesperson didn't call to remind. argh!

my Rest Day... whew...
finally i've waited for my long awaited break. and when i'm supposed to sleep longer on my rest day, i was woken up involuntarily. 1stly, i almost forget that my household can be quite inconsiderate early risers and 2ndly, i'm flooded with my own blood. =.= so naturally i had to clean myself. after all that "exercise", i felt too awake to go back to sleep even though i'm still feeling a tad bit tired. haix...
later i'm heading for the comex fair. if everything goes well, i think i might be purchasing a lappie. i believe i'll get HP DV2000 series lappie. the marketing of this product is just damn convincing.
Hua wanted to go on cruise. haix. so much wanted to follow. however, if i hadn't taken leave to go HK earlier, i'll definitely go! the thing is, i feel very paiseh to request another short break from my Area Manager, especially when i've already taken one back not too long ago and the rest of the team were literally stretched to their max during my absence. on top of that, i've in-charges going on break turn-by-turn as well, till the end of september or october. so considering all these negative factors, i just didn't feel appropriate to open my mouth this time. so sorry though...
alritey, i'm going out liao. going to catch The Devil Wears Prada. the trailer makes the show real bitchy and i just can't miss that out! kekeke... movie critics on me later ya?
love you guyz, just so much!
