i am so going to get it when my dad sees my hair.
hahahahahaha.
all right, everybody, please pray for me.
i really don’t wanna get scolded tmr morning when tmr is supposedly a nice and happy day.
i’m keeping my fingers crossed.
i guess the best i can hope for is that he’ll have a big reaction and then shut up after the 10 mins explosion……
i think that’s the ideal situation, as ideal as ideal gas….
hear my hair roar!!!!
hahahahaha
my hair is now a bright new shade of brown
BRIGHT is the word.
so far my parents haven’t seen it yet.
i walked in front of my mum and she didn’t notice cos she was yakking on the phone.
now i’m hibernating upstairs…..
and i seriously don’t wanna go downstairs liao! lol.
anyway this stunt of mine cost a bomb man!
i’m going to take a loooooooong time to recover from this financial strain.
anyway,
i’m proud to claim ownership of:
a mayday photo book,
the picture i have proudly posted at the end of this post.
i haven’t figured out how to make the picture AMONG my post.
hahaha it always appears as another post.
defiant photoblogging.
BUT while getting this book from a fellow mayday fan,
i made a flabbergasting discovery:
this fellow mayday fan was my ex-classmate in secondary school….
i nearly fainted, gosh!
what the…….
i’m still traumatised by this shocking discovery…..
lemme recover………
finally finished the damn thing.
i won the battle and got a 3 day week, but sacrificed it to get into the same class as my friend for one more module
so now i have a 4 day week!
sian.
blogger took me seriously when i mentioned voodoo dolls and black magic a couple of posts ago.
now my banner offers a site where i can buy voodoo dolls and learn to cast spells.
hahahahahaha.
itz amusing, these folks.
5 more mins to battle time.
since the last time i updated my blog more than once a day was somewhere in ice age,
where sam was living in the new york public library burning books on tax laws to stay warm and breaking into ruined ships to get medicine for the gal he’s after…….
yeah so here’s the second post of the day.
i heard thunder.
thunder!!!!
can you believe it??
it hasn’t rained for a bloody week, and now that i decided to, and have the time to get a decent skin colour, and laze around in the water, enjoying peace and tranquility,
IT IS GOING TO RAIN
or at least, i think it is going to rain.
but there’s a pretty good chance that it won’t rain too.
cos i’m in the sunny island of singapore.
where the weather is more crazy and unpredictable than myself.
*keeps fingers crossed*
was surfing around the net and stumbled on this pretty-cool thing
but i decided if i make space for it on my blog,
it’ll ruin the design.
hahahaha. the beautiful minimalist and simple white-and-grey design which i’m so proud of.
so i decided to sacrifice convenience for beauty.
anyway, nobody likes to leave me messages.
hahahahahahah. *hint hint*
fine, i’ll live my own life.
and stop attracting attention.
2 more hours to go before registration.
i wish there were comics in the school library.
but all they have are serious looking books which are must-haves for geeks.
oh yes, speaking of geeks.
there’s this ultimate geek-looking guy who’s joining the place where i’m working.
and i have to say,
he’s really geekish.
hahahahahha.
from head to toe.
i mean, i’m look quite a geek too, but this guy here, gosh.
engine people…..
ok ok i know there can be funky looking engine people, like the swaku malaysian buddy, who hasn’t been seen for weeks.
but anyway, the new geek can’t be too smart to join this bloody company.
come and think of it, this is the 5th week i’m working there.
4 more weeks to go.
not too bad, time’s passing pretty fast.
one more mth and i’ll be out of there.
last week, my oh-so-impt-dept head asked me a question, “yanyan, when will you have to leave the company?”
ah, that’s a question that deserves 46523 hours for digestion…..
did he mean “oh yes! end of july and i won’t have to see her anymore!”
or did he mean, “oh no…..we’re going to lose a super-efficient worker end of july….who knows if we can find another superwoman to replace her…..”
i’m still pondering…..
somebody’s taking photos in the library against the beautiful window picture of an industrial-looking building set in a jungle-like setting.
sometimes i really wonder what people think.
nobody is online on icq to entertain me.
my friend who claimed that she wanted to have breakfast at 10.40am has not returned yet.
nobody loves me.
lol.
it’s ok.
*gasped*
at this very second, the above-mentioned friend msged me and told me she’s back from breakfast.
wah lau, she installed bugging devices in all the computers found in ntu and saw me blogging away.
ok i shall stop blabbering here
now that i have someone to entertain me.
hahahahahha
early in the morning at 10.32am, when i should be working, and i’m in school blogging away, waiting for registration to start.
ha. call me kiasu. but i’m determined to get a good combination for my timetable so i won’t have to come back to school too many times a week.
hopefully, i get the 3 day combination.
anyway, my whole family was pretty shocked at the sight of me still in bed when i should be bullied at work.
my brother, with the ultimate kind intentions, waked me at 7.25am, asking me why was i in bed when i should be ready to leave the house.
7.25am is an unearthly time to ask people questions when they have the right to sleep in.
so, despite his nice intentions, i grunted and shook my head. went back to sleep.
and when i finally crawled out of bed after 9, my father took 10 seconds to realise i should be at work instead of drifting around the house.
ha. my father has terrific reaction time.
well, anyway i realised i’m supposed to meet my friend at a later time instead of 10.30am.
i think i’m too hyped up. excited by the timetable battle.
but itz such a luxury to use the computer in the daytime.
when was the last time i blogged in the day, on a weekday?
can’t remember.
and to rest my legs after more than 8 hrs of standing yesterday….
taking leave is such an enjoyment.
hahahahaha.
yesterday, at 5pm, my head suddenly asked me to zap a big arch file worth of paper.
so i managed to finish it by 5.20pm.
so she took the file, went in to the dept head’s office to ask the dept head if the print was clear enough.
at 5.25pm, she came out of the dept head’s office, telling me i need to zap another 1o copies of the bloody thing.
which meant i worked OT.
hopefully the pay is 1.5x.
and by 8pm, i only managed to finish about 80% of the thing.
now i understand the sweat and blood that went into the production of the zapped notes we used to get in jc.
i’ll learn to appreciate them better. hahahaha.
well, well, i’m going swimming again later.
hopefully the sun will continue to be nice and give me a damn tan.
i’ve faded since the last major tan i got.
when i return to the office tmr, i guess my head will have something to say about me getting a tan when i could have returned to the office to work for a couple of hours.
i think they’re just jealous.
gosh i got more than 2 hrs to burn before the registration starts. (stop saying i’m kiasu. i know i am)
what am i supposed to do now?!?!
and there’s no mayday music or video clips to entertain me here!
ugh.
on father’s day, which happens to be today, my dad’s treating us to lunch and dinner.
without us even asking or hinting our demands for food.
what the…..
anyway, the indian food at samy’s curry restaurant somewhere along dempsey road is great.
yummy food they have there.
too bad, i had breakfast 2 hrs before lunch. so i wasn’t in the best condition to feast upon such yummy food.
while heading home, we were passing by the route i used to take (or, am going to take again) when i drive from queensway to ubi.
and i think i haven’t gotten over my driving test yet.
in fact, i think i got a slight phobia for driving already.
ugh.
hee i’m a happy bimbo today!
i got a new bracelet, new nacklace, new tee and new jeans!
lol.
shall do more shopping next week when i get my pay.
more decent clothes to match my gu niang image. lol.
ok i shall not blog anymore.
cos i gotta go admire my new stuff.
try them on, prance around in my new tee and jeans.
hahahaha i’m kidding!! i’m kidding!!!
i’m not THAT bimbotic!!
I FLUNKED MY DRIVING TEST
I GOT A NEW HAIRCUT
OFFICIALLY, I’M NOW A MARKETING STUDENT
driving test:
let’s not talk about driving anymore, cos i’m still recovering from grief.
we’ll talk about it after my retest in august.
and people who i terrorised with smses after the disaster, do not fear i’ll land in jail for murdering the tester.
cos so far, i haven’t even laid a single curse on him, k?
i just had to let off some steam, all right?
btw, anyone has any idea where i can get some books on black magic and voodoo dolls?
lol.
i’m kidding!! i’m kidding!!
new haircut:
i got a kampung gu niang haircut
complete with bangs
hahahahaha.
thankfully, i can hide the fringe by combing it carefully.
or, i can choose to spike it. with or without gel.
i realised this after my afternoon nap. lol. was shocked to see the spiky hair.
cool!! cool!!
reminds me of a toddler photo of myself with ALL my hair standing up.
the ultimate punk kid.
seriously, i think the hairstylist hated me, cos i didn’t want to get a treatment or my hair coloured.
so she took revenge on me.
but still, haircuts are good.
my head feels 10 pounds lighter.
marketing:
yeah, i’m a marketing student now.
hopefully next sem will be better, even though i’ll have to tackle accounting II.
gotta re-plan my whole timetable, cos they made some changes to the class schedules.
which means i wasted the couple of hours planning it earlier on.
stupid school.
but hey, i got into marketing with a couple of friends!
yay!
don’t have to face strange unfamiliar faces again.
now let’s go on to the usual department:
complaints! complaints!!!
i wanna complain about the bloody smrt.
by now, anyone who takes public transport will know what i’m talking about.
i bet jack neo bribed them with an obscene sum of money.
why?
cos all smrt plays on the waiting screen is,
“BAI LIU LI BAI, HUI BU HUI KAI!”
“bai liu li bai hui bu hui kai, bai liu li bai hui bu hui kai”
and they play it continuously.
they deserve to be struck by lightning.
the gastric pills and diamond advertisements were bad enough.
but this movie thing is the last straw.
who in the right mind will help jack neo publicize his movie?
i mean, i think i’m kind of helping in the publicity this very moment,
but at least mine is bad publicity about his movie.
not like some critics who fawn over him like he’s the god of movies.
ha! i’m going along with my conscience, not like some liars out there.
lol.
just because it’s a made-in-singapore movie, they go all out to shower praise and compliments on his movies.
hilarious.
first of all, i think the movie sucks.
no, i haven’t and wouldn’t spend my money watching it,
but i religiously avoid anything by jack neo.
it’s against my morals and principles.
secondly, i think it’s ultimately uncouth.
it’s one thing to be heartlandish and another to be uncouth.
and i’m not even the arty-farty kind.
the day after tomorrow is lots better than this jack neo stunt.
even though it can be pretty ridiculous at times,
it’s quite cool.
and i don’t even like this kind of science-science movies.
surprisingly, this movie requires zero brainpower.
i mean, some lousy films, for example, some movies about betting, or some movies starring some xando spokeswoman, require zero brainpower too.
but at the end of those movies (IF i had watched them), i’d feel cheated and disgusted.
which is why, when choosing movies, one should be careful!
hahahahaha
what am i talking about?!
didn’t i always say life is absolutely beautiful?!?!?!
hahahahaha
i got my pay! i got my pay!
and it’s actually more than expected cos i think they didn’t deduct the cpf amount!
who cares about cpf and old age?
the great singapore sale is more impt!
i’m gonna get new jeans!
new clothes!
new stuff!
hahahahahahahah
in case there’s anyone out there sobbing for me, seeing that i am leading such a screwed up and miserable life
(btw, my pay hasn’t come in yet. supposed to be in today)
there has been happy events happening!
for example, i was able to watch mayday concert vcd in my living room, which means on the tv instead of a stupid monitor. and i blasted the volume as loud as i wanted to, since there wasn’t anyone at home.
and, i had malaysian supper on sunday.
in compensation for my family dumping me after sending me to ubi for my driving lesson.
and, i had a happy day on saturday during a gathering.
yes, it was the first time in weeks i laughed and laughed. and talked and talked.
about things other than work.
see? life can be good sometimes.
but it’ll be better if my pay comes in.
if i don’t get it by tomorrow, my agent’s gonna get it.
cos she cheated me of my alternate saturdays.
i hate to whine about working life here again, but this is MY blog.
MY territory.
i can do ANYTHING i want to.
*smirks*
ay least blogging makes me feel slightly happier.
was so angry just now i couldn’t eat dinner at all.
i’ve never EVER been set up by people and landed myself in deep shit just because of some sneaky idiot’s ambush.
and worst thing is,
it wasn’t totally my fault!
*caution: content may be confusing at times due to unstable emotions*
the 1st thing:
how the heck was i to know that the employees of the damn company were supposed to hand in death certificate of whoever died along with the leave application form when they apply for compassionate leave?
well, my in charge certainly didn’t tell me.
and whenever i ask her things, she pretends to smile but sometimes grumbles in audible volume about how nobody taught her anything and she learnt everything by herself.
well, well, am I a permament staff? NO!
am i paid as well as her? NO!
do i have as much time as her to learn? NO! by the time i figure everything myself, i’ll be saying goodbye to them liao.
anyway, she was extremely horrified to discover that i handed in the compassionate leave application form without the death certificate.
so she called the applicant, and found out that he wasn’t even intending to apply for compassionate leave.
(is it my fault again when employees don’t understand what is compassionate leave?)
then she threw up a pretty big fuss.
she didn’t scold me in loud volumes.
but she kept saying “you should have checked the form…..blah blah blah”
i should have? when i didn’t even know? when she shows me her moods whenever i ask her questions?
since the form was already handed in to the finance dept, she had to retrieve it.
and inform the bosses.
so my dept head scolded her through email. or something like that lah.
then she asked another colleague M(whom she told me to be wary of) to help her in the reply to the email.
and while they were discussing about it, she told this colleague M,”i was here on wednesday and she didn’t even ask me!”
*GRRRRRRRRRR*
ok, for this i assume 40% of the fault.
2nd incident:
last beautiful saturday, i was on duty with colleague M.
2 technicians came up to submit their medical claims.
1 of them genuinely forgot the procedures.
so he consulted colleague M.
colleague M told him some stuff which i didn’t hear, cos i wasn’t included in the conversation.
then, when they handed in the medical claims, i asked technician-blur where was the medical leave form.
he was as confused as i was, so he asked technician-clear for help.
technician-clear didn’t tell him anything about the medical leave form.
and they left soon after without me realizing it.
so i turned to colleague M and asked, “i thought they have to submit their medical leave forms along with their medical claims?”
colleague M answered, “no, they have to wait for the medical claims to be circulated back first”. (let this be point 1)
so i believed her. and the technicians.
since they have been there longer than 2 weeks.
today, to the horror of my in charge (again), she discovered that the medical claims were handed in but not the medical leave forms.
so she interrogated me on what the heck happened.
this time, i could tell her it wasn’t entirely my fault cos i double-checked with the technicians liao.
because of sensitive office politics, i could only say that SOMEONE mentioned point 1.
so, the in charge assumed that the technicians were bullying me (not true, they’re really nice people), called them up, and SCOLDED them.
then, technician-blur told my in charge that colleague M told him the wrong thing.
then colleague M denied it and said he heard wrongly.
(colleague M and technician-blur are on pretty good terms, since technician-blur always drives her home along the way)
so technician-blur said never mind, can subtract from his annual leave instead to save everyone from all the trouble.
after which, my in charge showed her temper to everyone in the office for the nth time today.
and i really hate it when she does that, cos who in the office doesn’t get bad days, huh?
who doesn’t have tempers?
does that give her the right to behave like a 5 year old and show everyone she’s in a really bad mood?
and what’s worse is, when i ask her questions when she’s in a bad mood, she will always turn towards me and flash me a happy smile.
how fake and pretentious can she get.
or when she’s in a bad mood and she answers calls, she’ll be in this super-high and chirpy tone. then when she bangs the phone down, she’ll start grumbling loudly about the poor soul who was on the phone.
at this time, colleague M asked me in low volume, “did i really tell them that?”
*SLAPS HER, throws her against the wall, dumps a pail of water on her and ask her to do some self-reflection*
that bitch.
don’t tell me she can’t remember what she said.
since this was about procedures, either she was right or she was wrong. no gray areas.
she was simply testing me to see if i remembered things, if i’m not wrong.
so, i kana big trouble 2nd time today.
and indirectly got some others into trouble.
i guess if i see the technicians tmr i’ll apologise to them, even if it’s not my fault.
since they’re pretty innocent too when it comes to whose fault, and besides, i don’t wanna them to think i’m saboh-ing them.
or worse, stabbing them in the back.
so you see, my office is full of ambushes.
whenever my in charge realises she has forgotten to tell me something (like the compassionate leave thingy), she’ll pretend that i was the one who forgot about it, or that i should have asked earlier, or that she’s doing me a big favour by telling me.
and when i ask other people, either they know nuts about what i’m supposed to do, or of course, there’s always colleague M on the lookout for me.
one and a half months more to go.
i’m starting my countdown, baby.
gone were the days when i came online twice a day
now the best i can manage is once a week.
at least i’m getting paid for this sacrifice. =)
i’m having some major problems remembering my password for my school account this very instant.
i just changed it not too long ago and checked my results using it on monday, but i’ve failed to log in after trying all the possible passwords i can use.
damn.
let’s forget about passwords.
let me convince you why you should never enter mos burger on busy days.
or when you are in a rush for time.
they’re disappointing me! i like them so much and they treat me like this.
anyway, that day i went into mos burger since kfc, mac, long john were extremely crowded. (as usual, any shop would be crowded in jurong point during dinnertime)
not suspecting anything, i went into the relatively empty mos burger.
and the counter gal took my order.
the counter gals, i have to say, are really quite slow compared to mac especially.
then, ironically, they couldn’t provide me, or any other customers, with fast food immediately.
so.
i waited.
and waited.
after 10 minutes,
this nerdy looking guy came out with two sets of orders.
he put down the first set for another customer, and walked up and down along the aisles in the place twice. then he went to the seats outside the shop to see if the order belonged to anyone outside.
then he walked back in again, walked to the back of the shop near the kitchen,
and finally walked towards me.
by the time he gave me my food, the burger and fries were cold.
he’s freaking blind.
it wasn’t as if i was hiding in some dark corner.
NO! i even put my number tag near the edge of the table, facing the direction of the kitchen so anybody walking out of the kitchen could see it.
stupid nerd.
i’m having my driving test on friday.
this coming friday.
11th june.
pray hard for me, k?
i really wanna pass and get the cash. hahahahaha.
btw, i got my school results.
got CCCD.
which is worse than last sem.
and to think that i slogged my guts out this sem.
yeah, i’m disappointed, but i’m not angry with myself, cos i know i tried my best.
hopefully if i get into marketing everything will be better.
and.
i haven’t managed to watch the mayday concert vcd yet.
ugh.
