some serious mood swings...

i guess my period's coming soon... so i'm like having some real baaaad moody craps nowadays. YM had the taste of it recently. haaa....

anyway, i just wanna whine...

nothing much actually. just that i don't wanna go work tomorrow.... a sucky 12 to Close shift, definitely not something i'm looking forward to. who wanna work on weekends!?

sigh... i'm wondering when will i get myself outta this.

if i'm to continue, i'll be incoherent. my thoughts are all over my puny brain and i can't think. oh well, time to hit the sacks...

nights people! lurve ya all... =)

i finally finished it!!

OMG!! it sure takes some REAL time to finally upload finished ALL the pictures i had taken from Bangkok! and fotopages is quite cock up, really. whenever i upload about 6 pics (which is the max limit for uploading each time), it'll either jump to an error page about losing connection with the SQL server, or it'll automatically create a new entry for me. it gets really frustrating! i'm wondering if Hua experienced the same prob as me....

anyway, i ended my RD today with YM, catching the movie Pathfinder. it's quite bloody coz' it's like war between 2 tribes. the movie was not too bad, constantly keeping its audiences at their toes, anticipating the next move. at least, this show didn't put YM to sleep. so now i figured that if YM didn't sleep during the show, it's not a bad movie. hahaha.... maybe he's attracted to gore, while i get totally turned off seeing ghastly sights of blood and all.... which explains i can never be a doctor. hahaha...

tomorrow's PAYDAY!! i've had it up to my head with meagre salary for the whole of this month! and it's time to pay off outstanding loans and all... time to lift the load off my chest!

and i need abit of retail therapy. this month, i hardly gotten myself anything other than my daily meals. i felt so pathetic coz' i even have to choose a cheaper alternative to food!! it's like, if that meal cost me more than 4 bucks, i have to rethink my choice of food. i felt SOOO pathetic.

FINALLY, i'll be relieve for all that crap... WAHAHAHA.... i'm like so happy lor!!

my RD today

i guess we're in another weather transition period - hot/cold treatment. it's either ultra sunny in the day and rains at night, or it's raining with gloomy skies in the day and it gets awfully humid at night.

anyway, it was my rest day today. last night, i went to watch a midnight show at The Cathay Cineplex - TMNT. that's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. it's like OMG when they actually came up with abbreviations for such an oldie cartoon and tries to fit into the younger generations. so does Powerpuff Girls would be known as "PPG" for our future generations? hmmm... but seriously, i would still pronounce Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not TMNT. maybe i don't exactly belong to the "yo yo" tweens.

and this morning, i followed YM to Ngee Ann Poly with his youngest sister. she got enrolled into NP and requires a lappie. so there's a lappie fair at the new Convention Centre. the deals are REALLY superb. in addition, they also have insurance which costs around one-time 60 bucks for 2 years coverage! my insurance cost me a few hundred.... darn. i felt such a loser... hahaha...

the students approached me, and started psychoing me to sign up for camps and all. it's quite amusing actually. hahaha... so i replied saying, "sorry, i'm already a passe...". it took some a while to get it and i could tell they're quite paiseh. wahahahaha.... it's so fun to do that!! but i can't help feeling old... nonetheless, i missed the student life in poly.

i went Funan this evening and dropped by Challenger. i needed a Laptop bag which a nice one cost me about 80bucks; and wanted Adobe Photoshop cost about 100bucks, and a transparent cooling base for my lappie which is about 30 bucks. looks like my wallet's gonna bleed.... well, i'll still wait and scout for more better deals.

alright, i've a Morning shift tomorrow and going to sleep now. cheerios!


PS i haven't yet upload the remaining pics coz fotopages is still hanging. sigh... and i've like about 80 more pics to go....

thailand trip...

i know this entry is like real late lor... but ha, well, i managed to complete it! haha....

i touched down SG at 10.20pm. 1st time taking budget airline, the experience was alright. other than the seats cannot be reclined much, it's free-seating, and i have to pay for my own meals, the trip on the plane wasn't all too bad. and the service on from the stewardess are just as good too!

the weather in Bangkok was awfully hot and humid. it got quite bad that not only did we got slightly burnt, it kind of got all of us abit cranky. plus the fact that we walked quite alot, we were tired and exhausted. it gotten quite bad that to an extend we didn't bother bargaining anymore - as long as the price quoted was good,we buy; if we felt it wasn't worth it, we walked away. it's a good thing that we didn't experience any rain or whatsoever. or not, i guess it'll dampen our mood further.

food wise, i think i'm still not used to roadside hawkers. even though i didn't get any case of tummy upsets, the environment didn't encourage an appetite even if i'm actually hungry. plus the population of mosquitoes seemed to be more than houseflies.... it's quite a turn off, really.

every market we've been to, other than shopping centres, reminded me of Bugis Street. despite that they actually carried vast collection of clothes and shoes, to me, they're homogenous. and it somehow got abit boring on what i saw from shop to shop. maybe i was looking out for some real differentiation and uniqueness in the things they carry. however, they do have some really nice and cheap clothes and shoes!

anyway, we happened to stay at the hotel where it's vicinity offers wholesale prices! and we only found that out on the last day of our trip when we're about to go back to SG. sianx...

if i was still in the corporate world, i would have spent more than i had. the things i've set my eyes upon are something i wouldn't see myself wearing till i'm out of Giordano. therefore, i can't help feeling i've made a "unfruitful" trip. nonetheless, when i'm ready for the office jobs again, i'll make sure i'll drop by Bangkok and really shop for REAL.

a couple of pics to tell more stories...

in the plane, looking super freshed!!

our 1st meal after touchdown...

(bogus) shark's fin and bird nest with ginko....

some waffle dessert which didn't taste as nice as it looks... haha...

how innovative they can get with their advertising!

so happy with our purchases, just the 1st day!!

super tired liao... haha...

food...!!!

the skillful tutu driver...

and the traffic behind us...!!!!

we went to sit the Ferris Wheel!

the train that brought us to Chatuchak market...

such cute decor at the train station... hee~!

our room with 2 beds combined... and the chambermaids actually packed our beds this way!! so thoughtful hor??

our purchases spread on the bed outside the room... from chatuchak market... lol..

Thai Royal Palace and Royal Temple expedition...

he's said to be the founder of Yoga...

all of our baggages, and we're coming home...

we're quite tired... even though shopping no enough...

our dinner onboard AirAsia on our way back...

so we had our fun. and our retail therapy overseas was damn shiok... we're definitely hoping our trip was longer, but too bad. all good things just have to come to an end. oh well, there's always next time!! but the coming next time, it'll be my turn to buy!!

and i've updated my fotopages. the link is at the side of my blog.... enjoy!

my last rest day was on Thursday. even though i only worked for 4 days before i meet up with another of my rest day, i was quite exhuasted already. sometimes i'm wondering if it got to do with the shifts i have. i mean, one moment i'm working from morning, another i work in the afternoon....

this is my 1st time sleeping till 2pm. so SONG, feeling so recharged. =)

i'll upload my photos to fotopages later, since i'm quite free now and nothing else to bother at the moment.

my roster this week:

Mon - M
Tues - RD
Wed - M
Thurs - M
Fri - 12pm to Close
Sat - RD
Sun - A

so i guess it'll be ultimate nuahing for me today.... hee!

冤家路窄

yesterday was my 1st day of the new Trimester. just when i thought i've kind of put down the "bad" past, one of the groupmate Melinda, is actually taking this module as well.

blardy shit.

the moment i saw her, i avoided any possible confrontations.

i 1st saw her outside the classroom, and didn't think much of it. coz' after all, there're many other classes commencing on the same day as well. but till i saw her carrying her barang barang and sat in the same class as me.... all the horrible feelings of bad experiences came rushing back like tidal waves.

i believe she saw me and didn't even bother my existance which was an awful good news to me. anyway, i was with my other group of friends and she's alone. unless she's super thick skin then maybe she'll approach me and chances of that were less than zero.

anyway, i feel she's quite problematic as a groupmate even though she can do some real work. and also, she was always quite persistent with her ideas. some more, she can't do proper presentation as well. hmm. well, that's so much for my personal opinion about her. so, i sort of can't wait to see her retribution. i'm just sitting back and pray her new group members would resort to similar underhands like what she did to me. even though i won't know, but i hope i would! kekeke....

i know, i'm taught to forgive and forget. but i can't help holding grudges.... furthermore, it's not very nice to know someone accused me for being a loafer, 1st time ever! took one whole chunk of my contributions out of the final report and then report me not contributing as a whole? gosh, that was so 卑鄙!! total bitch!

so i can't be blame for being so revengeful right?

Disney's On Ice feat. Finding Nemo

i'm going to bed soon.... back from the Indoor Stadium.

Disney's On Ice is a kid's show. but i guess it really captivates both the kids and the adults. cartoon skeptics like YM ended up giving thumbs-up too. and it's worth watching, seriously. however, for those who didn't catch Finding Nemo movie, i doubt very much they'll end up understanding the plot altogether. coz' the whole show is just exactly about bringing you through the story together. and it's really not easy for them trying to act out whatever that is from the movie itself.

and i think, YM love the turtles alot.... kekeke... =D coz' he kept exclaiming they're very cute!

the ice-skaters rocks! i suddenly missed ice-skating, even though i know none of those stunts. but i just enjoy skating around the rink... =)

rest day

YAWNZ!!

i guess this is one of the rare times which i really slack in bed till 2pm in the afternoon. even though it was slightly warm today, i still managed to find my comfortable level and nuah ultimately. kekekeke.... so shiok!!

ok, this is my roster:


Monday - M
Tuesday - RD
Wednesday - M to 5.30pm
Thursday - RD
Friday - A
Saturday - A
Sunday - M

this week, my school semester would commence. this term, my school days are Wednesday and Thursday. so excited to go back to school!! heee....

you know something? YM actually bought Disney's On Ice - Finding Nemo's tickets for today!! OMG!!! *LOL* the last time i'd went to Disney On Ice was when i was only 8 years old. that was the 1st Disney On Ice that was introduced to Singapore, and then afterwards they came up with many other themes.

i asked him why the sudden impulse to get the tickets? his reply was that he saw how captivated i was to the commercial and thought i might be very much wanted to catch this again. hahahaha.... actually, i was just reminiscing the memories i had when i went to watch back then i was a kid. anyway, I'M STILL EXCITED!! kekekeke...

i feel like clubbing...

is everything predestined?

did i ever tell you about this project conflict i had?

if i haven't, i'm not exactly going into details again and remind about what happened. just that this is like my 1st ever group project conflict that causes me my grades (i almost said future). but i don't think i'll pass this module even if i'm to take my referral paper.

anyway, i was wondering if everything (i mean my life) was already planned. i was there, anticipating my Unit Controller's reply via email regarding the conflict i had and little did i expect that her mail was actually classified under Junk by Hotmail. for a moment, i was pretty furious with Hotmail and my stupidity. it didn't occur to me to check my junk mail folder, even though this was not new to me already.

so, i end up receiving a stern (and might be read as pissed off) reply about my lack of response towards this matter, that if i did not reply by today, it would be based on her judgement regarding this matter on what results i deserve through information she gathered from groupmates and peer evaluation.

sigh.

i did reply earlier on. and its like already the end of today kind of thing. some more got time difference.... what else could be worse?

at first, i was desperate about what would be happening to my grades, and i was on the verge of crying when i read 2 mails sent down, in my junk folder. seriously, i wanted to personally call up that unit controller and explain what went really wrong. i wanted so much to tell her my part of story regarding this matter. soon after, i became depressed.

i managed to gather my feelings quickly and decided not to dwell into what has happened, and would rather opt for a fresh start (by repeating this module) than trying to explain myself again, which i felt it wouldn't make much of a difference since i didn't see her mail. and it might make me seemed i'm finding excuses for myself. even though it might drag me one more semester just to repeat, but i would rather redo and get better grades out of it. i'm a perfectionist at some things and rather get this module perfected with a 2nd chance than seeing a "Pass" grade to my module. however, i don't know if repeating modules would stain my results slip at the end of my course though....

this is so horrible. i feel terrible.

i guess after all, it doesn't pay to watch my tongue sometimes. maybe keeping mum and observe what happened next is not the best option. i'm wondering if i would to tell them off from the start regarding the lack of communication from their side to me would do me better than me deemed as "not bothered" about the project. apparently i trained myself to wait-watch-and-see attitude is beginning to loose its magic. or perhaps, it doesn't apply anymore. i should have just listened to my heart telling me that things are just not going right and i should voice out my concerns.

i don't know what i'm always afraid off to tell how i feel. looks like it's time to overcome that barrier which is always making me helpless (or even in trouble) at the end of the day. somehow, it doesn't benefit anymore by keeping quiet.

Singapore is beginning to be an Individualistic society, where people are concerned about themselves. it's all about "I" and not "WE". if you get what i mean....

from today onwards, i shall change my mentality to an "I" attitude and not "WE". furthermore, nobody really bothers about "WE" and there doesn't seemed to be a "WE", but more of a "ME" and nobody else but just "ME".

i got transferred

sigh. it's transfer time, again! this time, i'll be over at PS. and i've predicted that, so accurately.

i'll still be a 3rd-in-charge, thank goodness. anything more for me, i don't think i can really cope and i'm so not looking forward to any promotion in the meantime.

well, it's not totally a bad thing coz' it's closer to school. so i can really save up quite alot of time travelling to school after work. unlike now i usually walk from Centrepoint to school which would take up about 15 to 20 mins of my time. but the "sianz" part is that PS is quite a huge shop itself and it has a Junior section as well; which means i need to take care of the junior side lor. i'm like totally clueless about Junior items....

anyway, the transfer would take effect this Monday. sigh....

well, at least the timing is just one week before my real semester starts on 12th March. =) this semester, i'm taking up Advertising 391 and Marketing Research (heard it's quite a killer subject...). so, 2 modules this semester, which i think it's relatively quite lenient on myself and it should be good.
