just as i was being really whiny about having to be left alone at PS, with the incorrigible SM, i'll be posted over to Terminal 1, wef 6 Aug. seriously, i don't know whether to be happy or sad.
there had been some resignation from the staff at T1 and hence they're quite badly tight in their roster. since i had my pass, and i'm an experienced staff, it's only understandable that i would be posted over. and for this shufflement, they called it "minor reshufflement". BLEAH!
it's not all bed of roses at T1. apparently, the 2nd-in-charge (Ling) at T1 is somewhat identical to my SM - mood swings, quite auntie and all. not forgetting she is a little eccentric. also, working with her for a few occasions when i'm there to relieve, already clear enough to tell that she can be quite bitchy as well. y'know, the way she handle the people there, not so much of girls-and-girls bitching. oh boy... sometimes i feel like i'm still stuck in where i came from.
i think i'll be REAL shag out at T1, plus my studies. even though arrangments can be made... but if they'll to put me a M-shift on the days i'm studying, it'll be really power lor. imagine i've to work at 5.30am to about 3pm, and i've classes at 7pm. and again work a M-shift the next day, wah lao, i'll be floating at work lor.
oh well, to look on the bright side, i'll have airport discounts and a new environment. i'll be probably complaining about Ling when i get posted over.
or maybe things wouldn't be that bad, coz' that Ling is quite happy with my work progress when i went there to relieve. then again, it'll be different when i'll be REALLY working there. sigh. i'm not anticipating at all lor....
------
the Aloha gang and me wanted an overseas trip together. i thought Thailand would be good but since most of them are still underage (under 21 years), so final decision still lies with their parents. and their parents said it's not safe to go BKK now coz' the news reported it to be really messy now. therefore, it's just not safe. (-___-")
then they said their parents are okay with Taiwan. to me, is there a diff? then again, i don't think i can afford lar. the previous time i went over with Bel and gang, i came back quite broke lor. the best part is, i didn't seem to buy alot of things but yet i still wipe out 500 sing which i brought it over with me...
anyway, one of the girls said her father may still have some cliques at Taiwan, so our accomodation and transport around there would either be heavily subsidized or FOC. till then, this trip would be pending.
------
my mum and bros would be moving out soon. i still don't know when exactly. and i'll have the room to myself! i'm so looking forward to that.
i'll be doing a major revamp to my room - throwing away the dressing table, old and broken wardrobe, my brother's bed, the huge and gaudy wardrobe my dad bought but hardly in use and a new coat of paint for the walls. not forgetting a new small TV set! if i've the spare cash, i'll either fix up a ceiling fan or an aircon.
i've already have in mind how i want it to look like. and i so can't wait to get it all pieced up together. hee!
all in all, i need the huge cash. maybe i won't go Taiwan and forgo getting a DS Lite, i can get all those done. hmm.....

everyone's leaving...
2 of my part-timers have decided to leave after having to work in PS for nearly a year. they wouldn't put the reason solely on the fact that they can't work with my SM and her rigid way of handling their roster. they would chipped in their studies as their main reason.
initially, there were the 4 of them: Aloha, BL, XW and Alex. they called themselves "the Aloha Gang". after which i believe they happily included me as well. Alex quitted much earlier this year, giving the similar reasons. but he had his school's attachments and his involvement in his Basketball CCA which really got him packed to the core; Aloha got transferred over to Lucky Plaza and he's enlisting to NS soon, which means he's leaving end of this month even though he's no longer with PS. that left only BL and XW. apparently, they had it up to their boiling points with my SM and decided to throw in the letter as well.
i can't stop them for leaving coz' that would only be the best for themselves. after all, they can do without having to work at Giordano and studies are more important. still, i felt this sickly feeling about them leaving. actually, with them around, my stay in PS was definitely more pleasant and bearable. after all, we could lean on each other for moral support whenever that SM would to throw her weight around.
as i've heard, there'll be a major reshufflement for 1st incharges this September. but i doubt it'll only involved 1st in-charges. then again, if my SM is still staying in PS, either i'll ask for transfer or i'll convert to part-time asap.
till then the reshufflement takes place, i still have to bear with my surroundings - as lonely as ever....

time wasted
i was quite exhuasted for the last week. didn't really rest very well during my rest days. and yesterday, i went to T1 to relieve. somehow the 3rd-in-charge there is not too efficient, only to have sign out at 2am. *groan*
slept till 1pm today. i went down to citibank to apply for CitiClear - a credit card for consumers who cannot apply for the regular credit cards. the cash limit is only $500, with no minimum wage. cool, isn't it? so i went down to the Orchard Branch beside PS at about 3pm, just before the bank closes at 3.30pm. i thought i would be able to collect the card instantly but due to overwhelming response on their day of launch, it would have to take 14 days to be approved. sianz. quite excited actually...
after that, i went to Ya Kun at The Cathay for some small bites since i hadn't eat my lunch. no movies, so no movie date with YM. i didn't wanna go home since he'll knock off somewhere between 5 to 6pm. i ended up walking aimlessly at Bugis. i dropped by Gio and caught up with some of my ex-colleagues. actually, i intended to get some accessories at The Edge but apparently it was down for some major reno. DARN!
i went walking around the mall, quite surprised at the introduction of new stores around. i went to Diva and ended up spending 20bucks for a necklace and some bracelets. after which i went to Bugis Street to try to hook up some cheap accessories, which i did. 3 pairs of earrings for $5. shiok! and then, i bought 2 tops for $20. =) all without YM around.
while i was shopping at Bugis, i tried getting hold of YM many times but he's constantly out of reach. it's quite pissing really, especially when i'm tired walking aimlessly on my own and i need to know how long more i need to wait.
i was on the train, thinking i'll head towards Tampines and see whether i'll be able to catch up with Ebel, then YM finally called. apparently, it was 7pm already and he told me he just knocked off. he asked me to wait for him at his parent's shop coz' he needed to help deliver some stuff for the customers. i didn't want to feel awkward at the shop and therefore i wanted to wait at Tampines instead. he retorted that if i wanted to be at Tampines, he could only be ready to meet at 8pm. -_-
well, neither of us were sympathetic to each other's plight, so i guess we just blew off. so now i'm home blogging. oh whatever.
i'll be resting early tonight, still feeling quite tired. anyway, i'm working early tomorrow as well. *groan*
i so can't wait for my PAY DAY!!

i still couldn't imagine how tramatized i was. yesterday was my 1st deferred paper, since the day i started schooling all over again. i felt such a wimp.
i actually had a nervous breakdown at home, just before the exams.
i called YM and cried over the phone. i just couldn't help it! the stresses really wears me down finally.
i don't know why, really. it's quite unlike me though, and i can't even rmbr when was my last time breaking down like that, for an exam per se.
i studied like i should. i studied like i always did for exams. i wasn't totally confident but at least i know what i'm studying. YM even accompanied me to the airport and study, and he occupied himself with his own materials to study. that's really sweet of him! but i'm just not confident enough to face the papers. merely because i'm so afraid i ended up with a mental block during the exam.
that happened to me once when i was doing my accounts prelims back when i was in sec 4.
also, yesterday's paper was a module i've taken 2 sems ago and only they've dragged the deferred paper so late. and i'm no whiz-kid to remember what've been taught more than 6 months ago. furthermore, this is the module which i'd worked with that 2 bitches for a project they felt i loafed throughout the entire period.
anyway, i'm glad that paper was over.
i'll be going to Marine Parade's NLB to study. you probably asked why, since there's a Bedok NLB too. well, just take it as i prefer the environment there. after all, that was the place i started my reading habit since Sec 1, thanks to Mun Mun. from then on, it became my favourite study hangout since then. =) take it an excuse but i just can't study at home, or anybody's home nor any place.
last paper before i start my new sem on Jul 31st. quite looking forward to studying again... =)

it's not the same back "home" at PS. after i'm back for like a couple of days, one of my really good working partner was being transferred to another outlet. the past Monday was his 1st day in another shop already and it's getting empty without him. maybe all of us were so glued together like a gang, working back to back. and he never failed to entertain all of us, and vice.
now not having to work with favourite people, the working environment slowly shifted. it's not that it had became unbearable, but more of indifferent. then again, how long more would i be staying in this shop?
------
watched Harry Potter yesterday. abit disappointing though. i believe we're all expecting more actions and surprises, but somehow everything beginning to become stale. nonetheless, i still somehow enjoyed the show to an extend for all its sorcery and magic.
well, YM slept. *quietly pissed*
he said he didn't understand the whole show. apparently to me, i thought the Order of the Phoenix was just another new story with the same characters.
i guess, he can't digest wordy movies and heavy british accents. oh boy....
-----
next week, my roster would be filled with almost the whole week of my request (unfortunately), and it's pretty embarassing to cause inconvenience to the planner.
Mon and Wed i'll be having my deferral papers in the noon. so i could only help after 4pm on both days. on Tues, i'm opting for an RD to study for my Wed papers. then, i have MJ session on the Friday and i would need to attend one of my colleagues' bday on Sat. so that'll be both Morning shifts.
i guess this is probably my 1st ever week to have so many request in a week!
-----
i'll be forced to mug over my books (again) over my RD tomorrow. and i guess i only have like 1 day to get things done. hopefully i can manage to recap what have been taught... i mean, it's like quite some time ago already, especially for the deferred module from my summer school. *groan*
that's what really sucked about studying... EXAMS!

i felt abit dreaded to have to go back to PS. the day before kinds of spells the last day at T1, which was abit sad. no more long breaks and staff-priced canteen food. *groan* and of coz, not forgetting the long working hours too.
the moment i stepped out of Dhoby Ghaut MRT station yesterday, the crowd really overwhelmed me in PS. then i can't help feeling so sianz, coz' it's not a nice feeling to see humans having their weekend breaks while i get to work and serve these bunch of people. ha!
well, i was hoping things could get worse, i was wrong! apparently, i was warmly greeted by my bunch of teammates so thrilled to see me back. all of my favourite people were working with me. my 2nd-in-charge squealed in delight and gave me a nice hug. awww, so sweet huh? by then, all my negative thoughts were quickly erased.
so i guess the enjoyment of work voices down to who's working on that particular day. but i don't get good choices daily y'know. oh well....

my Genting/KL trip
hi lovely people, i'm home!
this trip was quite shiok, maybe coz' i actually did some shopping. oh, i needed that retail therapy and still feeling a lil' unsatisfied. oh well, i can't ask for too much. so i'll try to be contented k?
it's like so exciting! it felt good to go from shops to shops and saw things that i liked. especially there's this brand "Padini Authentic", aka PDI. i've never heard of this brand before but apparently they had quite decent clothes! and the spread of their outlets were something like Giordano in SG. however, their outlets were consolidated in shopping malls rather than street shops. at times, we could spot 2 to 3 PDI outlets in a single mall. and different outlets seem to carry different items. i LURVE it!
i'm quite lucky, in the sense where Malaysia is having their annual Mega Sale. shiok! the best part is i am lucky enough to meet up with Mango Sale!! it's 50% off!
other than that, i happened to come to this mall where it was quite similar to our Far East Plaza. but definitely much happening over there. probably due to an event going on, the mall was quite crowded. nonetheless, with my fierce shopping spirit, it didn't dampen my spirit. ha!
overall, i've bought a cap from PDI, a denim skirt, a Mango Capri at half price in MY size!!!, contact lens which is relatively cheaper than SG, a belly stud made of surgical steel, gotten some chocolates and other of their local snacks. total spent about slightly more than RM250. =) of coz, that doesn't include eating and other entertainment.
oh yes, when we were at Genting, we went clubbing at one of the hotel's club. so coincident, we met one of YM's friends there. but the DJ is not that fantastic lah. left at about 2am. before that, we went to the Casino as well. nothing much but BlackJack got me interested. no lah, didn't try even though i'm quite tempted. ha!
i guess it's a pity i didn't managed to get any tops even though i really liked one when i got my denim skirt in the same shop. that YM lor, happened to spot the error in the prints on the top. and it was a replica to all the other tops. then this hesitation overwhelmed me. so i only bought the skirt instead. it's such a pity eh!!!
and also, i didn't get any slippers. not any nice ones... or maybe i didn't search harder. ha!
so well, that pretty much sums up my trip. photos, later ba.
after this trip, i don't know when would be the next time i'll get such opportunity again. and sianz, working a closing shift tmr....
