happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me,
happy birthday to me!
oh brother.
i seriously dislike getting older. or maybe getting older is not as fascinating anymore as it once seemed to be. perhaps, being older means more shitty responsibilities i have to handle.
tmr my mum would be moving out, then i'll be temporarily housing at YM's place while my house undergo ungrading. i didn't feel that i need to be accountable to my mum regarding my decision even though i ended up telling her my arrangments. obviously she wasn't too please but knowing that i wouldn't listen to her, she didn't want to add much despite she still tried hard to make me listen. then she got my bro, Frankie, to come talk to me.
of all days, of all times, that insensitive dolt had to come talk to me when i'm out celebrating my bday with YM. the moment i've picked up the call, he shot, "eh, i heard from mummy that you're not going to stay with us during the renovation. why do something so stupid?" yet when i was thinking i might hear that he would wish me Happie Bday since i didn't get to see him since the day. the best part is, he kept rattling on and on telling me what kind of impression i'll leave in YM's parent, and knowing that what he's telling me wouldn't change my decision, he ended off telling me he needed to let me know his opinion.
bullshit. opinion my ass! as if i valued his opinions liddat. pls lor, use some brain cells can? maybe if he's pronounced as a retard by a doctor, claiming that he's permanently brain dead, then maybe i wouldn't be so hard on him.
my bday so memorable hor?
how i wished YM gimme a flaming torch and a carton of kerosean, instead of an Ipod, so i can set my mum and my bros ablazed. and i'll have a campfire, barbequing marshmellows while i enjoy Singapore's night sky.
nothing is as unbearable as this day. just thinking abt it make my heart aches. the only thing i haven't did yet - crying my eyes out.

These 3 days at NAFA are alright. In fact, alright is seriously understated of my new job. Maybe the REAL load is still pending, therefore I’m like relaxing at my job now, which is good! Don’t worry people, i'm in good hands.... haha...
i'm like so looking forward to Fridays now. haven't have that feeling for sucha long time! woot!
finally cleared all my lessons for this semester. now would be counting down to my exams. bleah! 3 exams to clear this sem, quite stressful. there're 2 of my units are like back-to-back: on Tues evening, followed by Wed morning papers. it's like "SONG BO!?".
and after my last paper on Monday, the following week would commence a new term. haix, so hectic. thought i can still enjoy some bits of my sem break but nop! oh well, just happy that i'm clearing all my subjects and graduating soon.... if everything goes well here with NAFA, most likely they might be extending my stay here. so probably i'll leave my position a couple of weeks before my final exams, so i can like chiong for the finals and VOILA! i graduate. maybe at that meantime, i'll might start looking for new job...
okie, that's my ingenius plan i have for now. subject to changes...
alright, i have to go now... before the rest comes back from lunch. and then it'll be my turn to go eat!

i can't sleep!
yeah man! the time now is 3.44am and i blardy can't sleep! i have to wake up in like 3 hrs time for my 1st day in my new job and i just couldn't catch a wink! argh! i'm so freaking fustrated right now...
i doubt it was coz' i slept too much. for the other days i was at home, i slept like nobody's biz and yet i could still sleep at the end of the day. however, just today was different. i think it's coz' i drank teh tarik.
u think its incredulous?
NOP! i'm quite sensitive to caffeine especially when i don't drink that often. and for the past few days, i don't need caffeine to help me stay awake when i can sleep all i can! PLUS, i took some instant milk tea when i had class yesterday evening and took teh tarik when i met YM for supper. stupid shit.
looks like i'll try to stay awake till its time to go for work. or not, if i'm to sleep now and wake up at the ring of my alarm, i'll get headaches.
and now, my tummy's growling.... what's next?!

a brand new weekend... SHIOK!
yeah man, i hadn't have so much fun over the weekends like i did on Saturday. it felt so SO goddamn good to have my weekends this free. after more than 20 months of torture of having my weekends burn on working, i felt so lighthearted. i needn't to worry that i need to work the next day and that would definitely killed all kind of party thoughts i would have. GAWD! it felt SOOOOO GOOD! i suddenly felt so glad that i'm not cut-out for retail.
the fun i had at Double O left a stigma. i felt sorry to have abandoned that juke house, once again proving me how much i've missed that place. their mambo and R&B was like WOOT! i never felt that crazy for the longest time! and their mambo seriously put Zouk to shame!
of course, not forgetting the company we had that day. it was just crazy! the pictures i've taken tells everything... hahaha...
Joke of the night: Milliard forgotten that he's pouring beer and thought it was Martel. check out the froth he made! WAHAHAHAHA!

Milliard & Alvin Seah: Proud of his joke! hahahahah.... looked like having some beer float!
Clockwise: YM, Andy, Milliard, Jacob, Me, Xiangping (Alvin's ex-gf)
Left to right: Milliard, Andy, Jacob, YM
Top-Down: Milliard, YM, Andy, Alvin, Jacob, Me
Some sexy fanatic dance, trying to turn each other on... Boys will be boys...
acting cool with the camera... such camwhore!
looked how "high" these guys can be!
we just had so much fun!
it does seem as if Alvin kissed Andy, and Milliard's protesting... LOL!
alright! view the rest at my fotopages. more crazy pics liddat... at the end of the day, the boys were really soaked in sweat. i smelled some of their B.O.. hahaha.... not very happening for that.
hope you guys have a great weekend too. and heard from YM that his friends wanna go Dbl O the next upcoming weekend! hahaha... i guess there's always not enough fun!

goodbye and hello...
yesterday was my last working day with Giordano.
my shift ended early due to the fact where they couldn't drag my time in case i incur anymore OT. i stayed a while and packed my things, ready to leave the shop. i took the rubbish with me to throw on my way out. the moment i stepped out, heading towards the staff exit, i felt a wave of relieve overwhelmed me. it's like, i've dreamt of this day so long. it has been a good 20 months of sweat and tears with this company. finally, it ended.
i really underestimated this whole retail thinggie, even though it has taught me a great deal.
to think back, i've switched 4 jobs in just 3 years of working in this society. it's alot to me, maybe comparing with my peers. i hope the switching would lessen one day. nonetheless, every job switch gave me a good lesson, allowing me to understand myself better. at least, now i know what i want to do and hope that would be the best for me. in fact, i should have listen to myself long ago, to do something i like rather than following "what was thought to be right". so i ended up trying to crawl out of the many pitholes i've landed myself into.
anyway, i've recently hooked up a temp marketing position with Recruit Express with NAFA. the contract period is only till end of Dec. and i'll be starting work on 17th Oct. i'm like so looking forward to this. whether the contract is extendable would be subjected whether NAFA still needs my help.
and hor, just one day after i've taken up the job, another consultant from the Recruit Express told me that another company selected me for the position. it's a 6 months contract in the East (near Expo), paying about 2k per month!
i try not to think about that....
oh well, the more the pay, the more commitment they'll be expecting ma, hor? hmmm... anyway, i'm bounded by the contact so i can't back out. therefore, i shouldn't be thinking anymore about my cognitive dissonance... hahaha...

idling at home...
i should be dealing with my project but lazybones set in.
after so much hoo-ha about my airport pass, finally i can enter the transit area with my visitor pass. i can't find my IC (somehow it has been misplaced somewhere at home) so i used my passport instead, with a police report. till then when i find my IC, i will call up the Police HQ to cancel the report.
i've another 2 more days with T1 on Thurs & Fri. at the meantime, i'm clearing my remaining ALs for yr '05.
i'm currently still searching for Marketing contract jobs. a couple of recruitment agencies called me and they've sent my resumes. initially they're quite enthu, trying to close positions available with my request. after that, silence. maybe i don't exactly have many choices around, available positions are only that few, that's why i felt that response are not too active. and also, i'm only keen on marketing related jobs than some admin or clerical positions. not forgetting the pay also lah. i'm not asking alot coz' i'm more keen on the experience. but then again, alot of company can be quite "ngiao".
till then, i need to be abit more stringent in my pocket money to last me until i hook up some temp jobs.
and guess wat? i jux bought a top, online... hahaha... it's from my Shopping Site 3 that i've jux updated. love the stuff there, but slightly more expensive i feel.
girls, indulge with me! kekeke...

a new plan needed...
my pass has been expired and i can't enter T1's transit area for the time being, till Giordano settle my visitor pass asap. worse come to worse, they get someone else in the territory to swop shift with me till my notice period is over.
for me, it's a bonus! haa... so i can stay home and finish up my project. hope they can swop me out of the shop so at least i can relax abit with the shifts before i leave.
anyway, i've redo my resume from scratch (coz' somehow or rather it's missing from my hard disk) and sent out about 6 of them to contract/temp marketing jobs.
what happened to the waitress job?
well, coz' im still stuck with Giordano now and they can't wait for me, they hired somebody else now. the only chance i'll get employed with them if the new fellas aren't working out. so i need another plan, isnt it? so i was thinking, why not get hook up with some temp marketing assistant job which pays about 1.6k to last me till my school ends? at least when i've graduated, i've some related industry experience to substantiate my fresh degree. it seemed pretty much a better option, doesn't it?
also, going back to retail for temp might mean that i need to work during the public hols and weekends too. at least back in the office, it's a predictable 5 days work week, weekends are off, and i enjoy my fair share of rest during the public hols. and no doubt i want to enjoy this coming festive season!
of course, if things turn out favorable with the contract appointment, i might get offered with a permanent headcount too.
i see that i don't have anything to lose for now since my main commitments are studies and they can't expect too much from a contract staff, and yet, i get the money to support my debts and experience which i need.
it does seem like a good deal hor?
well, i don't mind the office politics now la. beggars can't be choosers. so now i hope for the best!
