i had a bad week.

a very bad week.

i’m not getting enough sleep.

this is the first time i’m online this week.

i bought my “new” mayday concert album on monday, and i haven’t got the time to watch it YET.

my legs are hurting.

i’m sick of wearing officewear.

at least i’m working hard to show people i deserve the meagre money they’re paying me.

and i was happy thinking about it.

but.

reality is harsh.

do people care whether you work hard enough for what they are paying me?

NO! they don’t!

the first day i was there, i worked incredibly hard. (i mean, i worked hard right from the first day)

then, on the second day, they taught me MORE things which were not included in my job scope.

fine. never mind. it’s good to learn more stuff.

third day, my in charge and another nice lady were gossiping during lunch. and they were having lunch with me.

they told me a witch in the company was planning to let me take over a permament staff’s job.

*takes a deep breath*

if they are paying me reasonably, i won’t mind.

they are paying me 5 bucks an hour.

which is better than nothing.

BUT is way too little if they’re gonna make me take over a perm staff’s job!

i’d happily do it if they pay me reasonably.

never mind, i thought, it’s only for 2 months.

then.

TODAY.

i was so pissed i couldn’t talk near the end of the day.

if you are not interested in my whinings, you can skip the rest.

while i was doing the 3-times-a-day circulation, i entered my boss’ office with a mountain of documents he was supposed to sign.

and he innocently asked me, “are you able to work overtime?”

*note: the company does not pay their permament staff a single cent for overtime, though i don’t know if they’ll pay me*

and i answered good-naturedly, “sure.”

then he asked a similar question again (can’t remember so much cos i’m very deprived of sleep so i can’t absorb everything he was trying to tell me)

and i answered, “yes, i can work overtime if i can make it, cos some days i can’t.”

(i really can’t! cos i’m gonna start on tuition and i still have driving lessons)

and i caught his split-second display of disatisfaction with me.

he went on to hint that:

1) i escape exactly at 5.30pm everyday

2) i don’t take the initiative to help

3) i gotta interact more with the office people, build rapports, which may be helpful if i wanna work part time or temp jobs in the company in future.

4) i’m mixing with the wrong people

5) i shouldn’t be so afraid to mix with people of higher rank cos therez no protocols in the company (seeing my can’t-help-it-but-skeptical-look, he added that there will more or less be some protocol cos we’re all asians)

at least, that’s what i think he’s trying to tell me after some analysis.

and.

after using my terrific inference and comprehension skills,

i figured out that someone stabbed me in the back.

how did i know?

easy.

everyday when i leave the office, i don’t pass by his room AND more importantly, he leaves earlier than me.

so some witch in the office must have sabotaged me lah!

in response to what he said,

i did some self-reflection,

and realised i don’t think i’m in the wrong at all.

1) i leave at 5.30pm sharp cos my in charge tells me to. since the company-provided transport leaves at 5.35pm SHARP. besides, i always make sure i finish my work before leaving, by hook or by crook.

2) how much can i help with?! for the whole week i’ve been learning new things, asking questions about how their system work and absorbing everything they tell me! it’s only been 1 week! how much initiative can i take, huh?!

3) i gotta do circulations 3 times a day. do filing for the rest of the day. learn new things. figure out what i’ve learnt. do i look like i got time to interact?! besides, the people in my office are always running around the place, busy with their jobs. interact? what interact?! would he rather i stalk people out and yak with them or do more work?!

and i don’t intend to work for them ever again, esp since they are moving to changi in october. unless they buy me a car.

4) well, i’m mixing with my in charge and another lady.

if i don’t talk to my in charge, how the heck am i going to do my work?!

anyway, the rest of the nice people are always out, and the important people don’t have time to talk to me. leaving the witches who are obviously wicked.

5) don’t joke. what does he know about the multiple ranks below him when he’s always not around and when he’s in, he’s comfortably seated in his office, insulated from all the evil things that happen. no protocols. stop kidding.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

his “advice”, as he calls it, made me so pissed i refused to talk for the rest of the afternoon.

what the heck, i do more work and stay away from too much talk, i get into trouble too.

i curse the person who sabotaged me. may she (i’m very sure it’s 1 of the 2 witches) get struck by lightning, get stung by bees, step on an anthill, get crippled in a car crash!

office politics.

there’s so much to learn.

but i don’t give a damn.

i’m not in the wrong.

i’m not going to change.

tmr’s gonna be my first day of work…..

and i’m scared!!! hahahaha.

i’m serious! i’m scared!

i hate new people, new environments, anything new.

other than new mayday stuff, that is.

hope the people i’m gonna meet are nice and friendly and honest and real.

not some evil people coated with plastic.

ok, i guess even if they’re evil and coated with plastic,

i gotta bear with them for 2 months, cos money’s the important thing.

and besides, i gotta pay the agency 500 bucks if i quit halfway.

gonna be really busy the next 2 months with work, driving lessons and tuition lessons.

no more time to swim! no more time to slack! to watch tv! to take afternoon naps!

oh no.

never mind, the money’s most important!

money.

money.

money.

money.

gotta earn more!!

more!!

more!

wah lau i just realised something.

why isn’t anybody leaving me messages and comments and what the heck?!

why?! why?!

hmpf.

*sulks*

ha!

i’m officially employed!

can you believe it?!

I FOUND A JOB!

wahahahahahah

ok to be politically correct, my job agent found me a job.

still the same thing.

i’m gonna get paid.

and to express my gratitude for this benevolent company which has decided to hire me, i shall work hard.

despite them paying me only 5 bucks an hour.

but that’s not the important point.

the main point is i will not be as broke. anymore.

now wait till my driving instructor hears about my working hours.

oh no.

less time for driving.

more stress.

hahahahaa.

went down to ubi driving circuit today.

gosh, i personally think i’m disgracing my instructor the way i’m driving. lol.

i gotta work hard on driving too!

i wanna get the bonus cash!!

yay!

my computer is denying the existence of both my cd-roms.

which means i can’t copy a nice mayday song onto my pc.

which means i can’t enjoy watching mayday stuff too!

damn.

anybody got any idea what to do to it?

actually, it doesn’t really matter, cos my bro will most probably fix it when he comes home during the weekend!

i got a phone call from my job agent.

she said she has a job for me.

she’s sending out my resume to the potential employer.

i’m keeping my fingers crossed and my toes twisted.

*please……i NEED a job!*

ha! new blogger feature

my skin’s peeling like i got some skin disease.

all thanx to clementi swimming complex.

i’m never going there to swim again.

i bet the water’s toxic or something.

it tasted poisionous when i unfortunately swallowed some water.

and when i came back my skin started itching and itching. and itching.

i’m still peeling and itching today!!

that swimming stunt was 2 days ago!

what the……

plus if i go to clementi,

i have high chances of meeting someone i don’t wanna see.

that day when i saw her, i was stunned.

hahahaha, never expected to see her in a swimming complex.

could see that she never expected to see me in a swimming complex too.

her eyes were popping and her mouth hung open.

lol.

even my family had a good laugh at my misfortune when i told them about it.

anyway, in order to save my skin and avoid her,

queenstown’s the place!

listening to mayday’s concert cds.

finished watching some mayday stuff.

completed some boring jigsaw puzzles on the net.

played some silly games as well.

finished reading my books for the 10 millionth times.

i’m bored bored bored.

how does a minor in english literature sound?

*evil smile*

i’m considering that……

oh no am i going to abandon minor in communication studies?

dunno.

still considering.

spent 5 hours today figuring out different combinations for my timetable next semester.

had to figure out long days, too-long breaks in between lessons, 6 hours’ continuous lessons which will starve me.

so i chose 16 combinations.

the best was a 3 day week.

the worst was naturally, a 5 day week, with 4 0830 lessons.

hopefully i get the 3 day week.

yesterday, i was told i may have 2 students instead of 1.

which meant that i will earn 400 bucks a month, 4 hrs total in a week.

today, i’m told that itz still 1 student. 250 bucks. 4 hrs a week.

maybe if i’m lucky, i’ll have another student. another 250 bucks. another 4 hrs a week.

i hate giving up my personal time to give tuition lessons.

but hey, i gotta get some pocket money somehow, right?

gotta make up for some evil deeds i’ve done.

gotta get independent!!!

have to stop asking for money from my parents!

have to learn to manage my finances!

gotta save money!

life’s getting brighter.

at least brighter than yday la.

by the end of june i think i’ll feel better.

life is beautiful!

yeah, as beautiful as hsu chun mei from taiwan.

my phone’s working again.

i still feel like killing singtel, even though i’m supposed to be on my knees thanking them.

why,

cos this beautiful morning,

i realised they cut me off.

yeah, you didn’t read wrongly.

i’m most probably the first person within your social circle to get temporarily disconnected cos i didn’t pay my bills.

all right,

so i managed to get some cash from committing a couple of crimes,

and paid at noon.

and took a train to eunos for driving.

and.

when i reached eunos, i called singtel to check if my line was reactivated already.

the nice lady at singtel told me it would take 2 to 4 hrs.

well.

so.

at 2.10pm, the phone miraculously rang.

that was 5 minutes before the driving lesson.

my instructor told me he had been trying to get me since morning.

his car was in the workshop!!! no driving!!

ok, i don’t blame him at all. really.

cos itz really my fault for not paying my bills and forgetting to call him to confirm.

anyway, that was one wasted trip across the island.

one of these days,

i’m going to migrate to some nice country with 4 seasons.

one day…….

i learnt a new word from gerald durrell’s book…..

S-A-L-U-B-R-I-O-U-S

it means good for health.

there’s a second meaning, can’t remember what.

for example, dim sum is a kind of salubrious delicacy.

hahahahaha.

i had dim sum this morning with my family!

extremely contented.

and this makes it the 8th wonder in the world.

cos my family hasn’t had sunday breakfast together for a looong time, unless you count the msia trips.

and we certainly have never eaten dim sum for breakfast as a family.

or at least, not in my memory.

strange, eh?

i’m getting a sore throat soon. damn.

i can feel it coming….attacking my sensitive throat….

been talking and singing mayday songs too much.

well, had to, cos i had to give my neighbours some mayday lessons.

they were singing s.h.e songs and some other poppish songs.

NO! in this area, mayday rules!!!

lol.

mayday.

yes, this

has been bugging me!!

(ok, i don’t think anybody can see the picture, cos therez some problem with my picture host’s server)

itz been out for quite a few days already,

and i’m currently broke. disgustingly broke.

what’s worse is, therez a limited edition book thingy that comes with the first 10,000 copies.

not that mayday stuff clears out very fast in singapore (except for the chinatown shop, maybe), but it just keeps me drooling and worrying.

i think…..

i’m getting incredibly immune to newpaper reports,

whether they’re entertainment news, local, or world news.

why?

cos 70% of entertainment news are fake, the rest of the 30% are exaggerated.

when was the last time you believed in entertainment news?

hongkong and taiwan tabloids score the highest in amusement level.

local news are ridiculous.

singapore is too small.

any beehive will make it into the local news.

singaporeans are too whinny.

anything will make it as the headlines.

world news are disgraceful.

take for example, the tit-for-tat torture and beheading of american soldiers and iraqi prisoners-of-war (or izzit prisoners?)

or people suing uncle ronald for causing them obesity, as if they’re retarded kids who can’t tell what’s good and what’s bad.

or the scientists who tell you eggs are good today, and tomorrow they’ll say too much eggs will kill you.

shameful, shameful.

being an unemployed person causes depression.

depression.

depression.

depression.

depressed and unemployed.

umemployed and depressed.

somebody help me get a job.

or maybe help me pay my phone bill.

lol.

i need a sugar daddy.

hahahahaha

today’s weather is perfect!

lol.

heavy rain early in the morning so i can sleep in comfort and wake up a happy human.

great sun in the afternoon.

now i’m slightly tanned cos i went swimming again!

hahahaha.

no more fair and chubby.

now i’m slightly tanned and still chubby.

but well, itz still a grade better.

just now at the swimming pool, i met a couple of ridiculous people.

there was this lady, who seemed older than me. most probably past twenties.

when i entered the pool, she was swimming along the breadth of the pool.

i wasn’t even in the 1.8m pool!

i was in the babyish 0.9m pool cos i don’t wanna drown since i have terrible swimming skills.

so she happpily swam a few more breadths, and left the pool.

apparently there was some fully dressed old lady (middle-aged, wasn’t swimming, completely dry) waiting for her by the pool, and handed her a bathrobe, towel, water, glasses, handphone.

she’s older than me! does she need a babysitter!

or is she just too rich and that’s her nanny or something.

then, there came this guy, who went to the pool just to get a tan i think.

firstly, he entered the pool, laid down near the steps, face-down, and started blowing bubbles in the water.

ok, maybe he likes to blow bubbles, fine.

after that, he laid there for a very long time.

since the particular side of the pool was occupied by another tanning guy and me, he swam across to the other end, got out of the pool, and continued to lie there for another hour or so, splashing water on himeself once in a while.

finally, he swam back towards the “steps side”, and left the pool.

what the?! he’s happy with 1 small little lap in a small little shallow pool.

last ridiculous woman who joined me:

this lady, who just had to swim diagonally across the pool….

she swam a few laps, always diagonally across while i was trying to figure out why the heck she must do so.

does it give her a kick when she tells people,”oh, i swam 5763 diagonal laps.”

or does it burn more fats when she swims diagonal?

or does she like to cut people in their way while normal people are swimming properly?

some folks in this world are just too cool and alien-ic for words.

btw, singtel still refuses to let me call or sms, despite me paying them about half the amount i owe them.

i dunno if they’ll cut off my line….

gosh. i NEED a job.

i can’t send any sms-es.

or call on my handphone.

cos i owe singtel money.

lol.

ok, so if anybody msgs me, don’t blame me if i don’t reply.

i can’t help it!

i’m jobless and penniless, remember?

i’m supposed to be employed as from tomorrow,

but yday, the agent called me in the late afternoon,

telling me therez some screw-up and the job will be postponed till god knows when.

i think i’m fated to be jobless.

how sway can i get?!

i already settled for a factory-like packer job. yet i’m still jobless!

grrrrrrr.

how to pay my phone bill?!

and being naive yday, i started spending money.

like there’s no tomorrow.

spent about 50 bucks yday.

and nearly broke my legs with all the walking.

ugh.

this morning is equally bad.

i woke up and realised my dad was fixing some pipe thingy,

so he cut off the water supply.

first thing in the morning!

what the……couldn’t use the toilet, couldn’t brush my teeth or wash my face or take a shower.

life sux.

i think i was a pimp in my previous life, which explains the miserable life i have now.

my roof is no longer leaky!!!

yay!!!

i mean, at least itz not supposed to leak anymore,

cos it used to get damp on rainy days.

then.

one fine day.

mould started appearing on the ceiling.

and the mouldy patch grew.

and grew.

i managed to paint the ugly mouldy patches after my dad and bro fixed the leaky roof.

i just need a heavy rain to test it out……

a heavy downpour will be nice,

since the weather is so damn bloody hot anyway.

yay, tmr i’m probably going down to esplanade, to check out a vcd at the arty farty library.

itz a vcd, i think.

itz labelled as a videodisc.

a dvd is digital something rite?

i was hoping it will be a dvd, but well, itz better than nothing.

i didn’t even know nlb has such good stuff.

kinda troublesome to go all the way down to esplanade to TRY getting it (it was on loan as on friday)

but since i’m as free as the mould on the used-to-be-leaky-roof

and i’m passing by anyway……

i’m beginning to be so proud of my brother’s mayday education!

hahahahaa. i’ve been teaching him mayday tunes and mayday stuff.

now he can whistle and sometimes, sing, mayday choruses.

today, he could identify one member in front of his friends.

and they were like wow! cos they don’t know who’s who in mayday.

such good progress.

i shall continue educating him, and whoever’s around me.

free mayday education! be thankful!

you won’t regret it! =)

heard their concert dvd and vcd’s gonna be out in sg.

damn. i have next to zero dollars.

any santa claus or philanthropist reading this wanna buy it for me? *wink wink*

btw, the malaysian’s gone missing!

if anybody sees a 1.7+m long and lanky swaku looking kampung gal walking around,

behaving spastically and pronounces AH-larm instead of alarm,

please inform me!!

she’s been missing for 2 days!!!!

ok if you are totally uninterested in mayday (or what your friend here thinks) you can stay away from this part onwards….

cos it doesn’t really concern you. =)

letz start gaily, look at this:

hahaha ashin and yanming (2nd from right and 1st from left) looks gay!!!

was listening to some songs…..

and realised,

sometimes……..

ashin doesn’t sound exactly terrific.

ok, i should stop being diplomatic.

he sounded terrible.

the ones i heard on my mp3s and cds were fine la, duh.

but some, i repeat, in case anybody is blind, some, sound weird?

sometimes he sounds like he’s trying to build up an accent too.

i kinda wonder what’s wrong with rock records the way they are packaging mayday.

i still think they are better in their t-shirts and jeans.

yes, fancy clothes once in a while may be a good idea,

but nowadays they’re togged in fancy clothes more than t-shirts and jeans.

they’re losing their mayday image!!!

and i can’t stand the spastic way rock is selling them to china.

just station them in china for this and that.

yeah, singapore’s a small market, huh?

just set up a simplified version of their website specially for china fans, eh?

they got 1.2 billion people in their country to buy mayday albums, right?

just make them suave (mayday? suave?) some silly fans will swoon over them eh?

itz all packaging and marketing!

which reminds me…….

i wanna major in marketing!

damn it!

this is the turn-off part of marketing…..

i’m going to kill somebody at saf

look at the time now.

my computer says itz 2013 hrs.

AND THEREZ STILL A BUNCH OF BLOODY PLANES FLYING ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND OVER MY HEAD!!!!!!!!

WHAT THE HECK DO THEY WANT FROM ME?!

let me warn anybody who is toying with the idea of moving to jurong west extension:

never ever, ever move here!!!

the planes will drive you crazy and

don’t even think about complaining.

cos they’ll just treat you like some spoilt singaporean who doesn’t care about the defence of singapore.

come on lah, they gotta train at 2013 in the night?

even if they wanna train in the night cannot train a bit earlier? like 8pm? 9pm?

bloody SAF! ta ma de!

ha! did you see?!

the taiwan lecher got into trouble and was fined!

hahahahaha! retribution!

such a arrogant asshole!

spastic wu chong xian!

obviously at fault and he thinks he can get away with it just because he’s a small little thing in the entertainment circles.

and he’s so lecherous. always bullying the female artistes, esp if they are new.

hope he dies of aids soon.

*gasp* did i just curse somebody?

oh no i’m supposed to be sweet and demure.

what the hell.

if you believe i’m sweet and demure,

you disappoint me! get out of here!

ha. i loving yelling at people.

p.s: get a blog, malaysian! so you can yell at people too!! =)

tsk tsk, shameful! shameful!!!

i’ve only blogged once in may!!!

such a disgrace!!

why?!

why??!

cos i’m still recovering from a minor bout of food poisoning.

yeah, food poisoning, again.

from home-cooked food!!!

can you believe it?!

maybe my mum tried to kill me. wahahaha.

she failed!! she failed!!

i’m still alive and kicking!!

ok if i failed to reply any messages sent to me these few days, i apologise, k?

cos i was too weak lying in bed.

i’m serious!

cos i didn’t have any food on the 1st day.

and had a few bites of food yday.

so i had no energy to reply to messages. or blog.

oh well, recovery doesn’t mean a more colourful life.

i’m still stuck at home cos i’m still jobless and penniless.

so i resorted to watching lilo and stitch the 98 millionth time.

not that itz less interesting. stitch is still as cool.

itz my favourite cartoon character.

it even ranks above winnie the pooh and tasmanian devil.

until i get more money to spend, more books to read, more dvds to watch,

life will still be boring.

boring.

boring.

boring.

what’s the use of holidays when there’s nothing to do.

i’m tired of eating and sleeping. lol.

maybe i should practise mayday’s hokkien songs huh? hahahaha.

improve my hokkien pronunciation and understanding. lol.

just for the information of people not familiar with the taiwan music scene……..

did you know that the behind-the-scenes-folks voted jolin tsai the best album (or something like that)?!

gosh, i bet the whole thing is rigged man!!!!

how the heck can somebody like HER win anything at all except for maybe the best teenybopper or best successful plastic surgery experiment?!

i can’t believe what the world is coming to.

ugh, too much typing.

my shoulder’s aching.

i dunno why food poisoning and fever will lead to aching shoulders.

the world’s a strange place.

oh yay!

i’m back from malaysia.

for a 2-day very tiring trip cos of the spastic jams in malaysia.

so we ended up sitting in the car for quite sometime, very packed.

i should consider going on a diet so i’ll fit in more comfortably.

speaking of diets, i really should go on one.

was going through my wardrobe the other day, and i was horrified by the stacks of clothes i’ve “outgrown”

no, i didn’t grow any taller, you fool! go figure it out.

and when i got back, i heard the terrible news of a 17/18 year old teenager killing his friend in westmall.

gosh.

such a young age and he goes around killing people.

and i bet itz for spastic reasons.

what’s wrong with young people nowadays huh?!

*yawn*

i feel like taking another nap.

ah, the luxury of having all the time to myself, not having to worry about grades and tutorials and projects……

but i gotta worry about jobs now.

gotta find a temp admin job.

soon.

fast.

fast!!!!

anybody got any lobang?

i’ll buy you a meal if you get a temp ADMIN job for me.
