sorry for the lack of presence around here... guess working in T1 is a much greater deal than i thought. and it's confirmed that T1 and my school timing doesn't work.

no, things are arranged well but my body isn't adapting well. even though i have not fell ill per se, i was really really sick of working and studying concurrently.

imagine those days i'll be studying, my whole day would be like this:

4am - Woke up
4.45am - company driver fetches me and another colleague to work
6am to 4pm - Working....
5pm to 5.30pm - reach home, resting...
6pm - Bathe
6.15pm to 6.30pm - Bathe and get ready for school
7pm to 10pm - Class
10.30pm - Reach home from school...
11pm - Sleep...
4am - Woke up...

and this would probably carry on for the next 3 days or so, with less than 6 hours of sleep and more than 12 hours working... it's really getting a toil on me.

i kind of found a part time job which i believe can tie me over till i grad. it's YM's Air Force friend's friend's pub. yeah, it's a KTV pub at Boat Quay. pay is decent with 10 per hr and commission on Ladies' Drink and opening Bots; working days are fixed and hardly changed; work about 3 to 4 days a week. working hours is 9 or 10pm to 3am.

i've been there myself and spoken with the boss. the place is no where sleazy at least. however, something is holding me back....

i guess i can work something out financially. if the time permits, i could prolly go get some day job like tuition to support. and the biggest gain to be would be the time i would have for myself. =)

i definitely not want to cont'd this crap in T1 any longer, neither would i think that another full time job would not ask proper commitments from me other than my schoolwork.

i get so tired trying to make decisions all the time...

mum and bothersome bros are moving out soon. time to revamp my room...


----

applied for a CitiClear card that gives a 500 credit limit. no need min income but have higher interest.

i'd waited for more than 2 weeks for the news of my application and ended up that stupid Citibank sales fella did not send in my application. if i hadn't applied online and they sent me a follow up copy, i wouldn't have realize all these while i was waiting in vain.

got so pissed, called to complain and also faxed over my necessary documents with it.

am still waiting... but at least i got a confirmation SMS from them that it's been processed.

i wonder how long more i need to wait...

alot of other things happened... gimme some time to think back.

Happie Bday Singapore

i feel so heng, to be resting on a public holiday. shiok!

after watching the parade on TV, i can't help feeling a sense of pride for my country, to be where it is today. especially when the last part of the parade where oldies theme song were playing "One People, One Nation, One Singapore... That's the way that we will be forevermore...." and "We are Singapore, We are Singapore... We will stand together, hear the lion roar...".

the parade ended with our pledge and national anthem, which i said out loud ad sang along. i guess it's times like this where i'll appreciate where i come from.

i'm glad i'm Singaporean, a true blue kiasu Singaporean.... LOLz...

Bye Bye PS....

sigh....

after spending about near 6mths at PS, it's time to leave. like i said before, it's a bittersweet feeling to leave. however, it's good to finally change a new environment.

anyway, soon after i leave, a few more would leave too. they've either serving their notice period or have intention to tender. so, it's a good thing i leave 1st or my heart would ache to see my favourite team members leaving one-by-one.

so tomorrow, it's my official 1st day at T1. it's a power shift for a 1st day - 10/C, aka Full shift at T1. i'm supposed to be anticipating that huh? oh well....

today's my rest day. i bought a new phone! after using Samsung, i went back using Sony Ericsson. in fact, i was drawn to its cybershot capabilities in K810i. and i kind of had it with Samsung's user interface. plus the keypad is getting malfunctioned.

YM needed to upgrade his line to a corporate plan, which is relatively cheaper than his current subscription plan. and i believe it'll help him save much more. so, i might as well ride on and get a new phone. and i'm falling in love with it every minute! kekeke...

but i still miss D820..... because of it's ability of self-shots! ha!

i'm still exploring this phone. maybe i'll listen to what YM said, bring the instructions manual to work with me and read it on my way.

and yes, somebody stole my zhui kway (if you can recall what is that).

i've took-away zhui kway and bee hoon from Bedok interchange, intending to eat the zhui kway before i start for work and the bee hoon for my dinner later. i was on Afternoon shift that day. on my way to the train station, i put the packet of zhui kway together with my bee hoon.

i was at the train platform waiting for the train in another 3 mins. i sat on the stone bench at the platform and was in a daze. maybe i was tired and thirsty. so, i put my packet of food on my side and rested my bag on my lap. i took out my water bottle and started drinking, still deep in my thoughts. the train came, i quickly stuff my bottle into my bag and grab my packet of food.

i was in the train when i checked my HP. YM was asking if i bought anything to eat. just as i was replying the SMS halfway, i casually looked at my food and realize my zhui kway was gone!

super weird lor!

it's like food ppl also wanna steal. !#$%#@

most likely, somebody took the food when i was sitting at the stone bench waiting for the train. i don't know whether to laugh or to be angry lor....





okay, that's so much for the updates. just hope that transferring to T1 is a blessing in disguise...
