Y ironies should just burn in hell.
sickening cough.
school was pretty alright today, 'cept that the weather was freaking humid, which makes us felt pretty lethargic the whole day. walked to class together with li'e and wei liang in the morning, and froggie came by shortly after. froggie, wei liang and i walked into MWS class just in time to mark our attendance without being marked late, as teacher wasn't around at that time. we were pretty late at that time tho. haha! did tutorials for 1 hour, before we were given CT revision during the last 2 hours. wei liang and i ended up chatting, and got nagged by our teacher a lil. wells, i'm surprised that wei liang will actually ask me for advices about girls. i'm also surprised by what he did, which i find it's so not him lah. ohwells.
had lunch with my girlies at canteen 2 aftermath. and 1 hour later, froggie and i had MBA revision, which anand practically told us the questions that's gonna come out! hahahaha. anand totally rocks my socks! we were released early, so we went into the empty classroom li'e and the rest were at, and we fooled around. "catching up", you see. =D at 2pm, i had QLA lecture, which "my father" (the tutor whom i feel got my dad's wei dao lah) gave back our quiz results. HAHAHA! i passed! i thought i'm gonna flunk badly, because i really didn't study for it. but who knows, i actually scored 50% just nice. hahaha! wells, i'm sure if i studied the theory part, i'll be able to score. shall work doubly hard for CT then. =D
were released 20 minutes later, and i went to get yogort ice cream before going on. and guess what? I SAW COLIN IN THE ATRIUM!!!! you know colin? from http://www.colinandkero.blogspot.com ? OMG! he's reeaally cute in person lah. some guys walked past him, and actually commented something about gays-fucking out loud. that's really very bad of them loh. OMG. colin's really very cute man. too bad, i'm not a boy. OH WHY? ):
right, went straight back home after that.
______________________________________________
everyone's talking about Singapore Idol now.
because of work, tonight will be the first time i'm watching for this season. i'm pretty anxious to know who's gonna be the SG idol this time round. any good looking ones? hahaha!
i don't watch project superstar, campus superstar, superband and whatnot, because i only fancy watching Singapore idol, or occasionally, American idol. original.
i'm looking forward... ^^
______________________________________________
hmm. i feel thoughtful today.
especially during my bus trips to school and back home.
because i reminisced.
about the 2 that i loved most.
back in 2003, i met jae. how we hung out in one big groups at sentosa and round the ice-skating rink. from ice skating to roller blading, we had so much fun together. we spent our first christmas apart with him in malaysia and i'm stuck in singapore. it was torturous. until NYE, then we got to celebrate together. watching the pretty pretty fireworks under the dark dark night skies together. it was so like the scenes in FF8 MV. that explains why i am so in love with FF8. aww.
it was until very much longer, then we were officially together in 2004. we went through many many ups and downs, and even faced the shitty release of O levels results together. i think because of that, things started to change. he got into a JC and me, polytechnic. busy schedules of his, plus the distance of ours, made us grew apart. and thus, we split up. we kept in contact even till today. in between, we had lots of dramas and till date, we're best friends, who talked shits on MSN once in awhile. haha, i'm glad to be able to keep such a friendship going on. and now, he's in a loving relationship with michelle, which i reckon will really last. and i still think jae looks pretty cute with his hair already shaved for army! teehee.
and i'll never forget the way he looked when he's holding/playing with his saxophone. never..
jae's 19th birthday is nearing. hmm.
and also, wilson. sighs* i always had this heart wrenching feeling each time he came to my mind. i always wonder why can't we keep the similar kind of contact as jae and i? why must he distant himself from me so much, like i've never existed in his life before? the thought of it really hurts me like a bitch man.
i teared whenever i remembered how happy i was a year back, and how heartbroken i am today. knowing him and being with him, was something so unexpected. when i first saw him at work during my second day at conrad, i had found him pretty decent looking. i was attracted to him almost instantly, that he soon became the reason i go to work. together with my girls, we named him "mr eyecandy". (fyi, we named almost every black-jackets in conrad back then). i've always thought he's just gonna be a crush, and that's it, nothing's gonna sparked between us. i swear i really did felt that way.
until...
the day i sent li'e off to the States at the airport. i was surfing the internet in the cafe and saw his message for me on friendster. he found, messaged and added me. that was when we began talking, via both the msn and phone. we met up a couple of times, alone and with friends. and on our first date, he brought me to movies and we dined at some classy restaurant in Marina Square. he melted my heart the first time when he sliced my chicken chop for me....
we became closer, and finally, we were together on 17may2005. everything was very sweet and perfect between us. everyday felt like we had known each other forever, as there's never a barrier between us. we were totally care freely in love with each other. we became serious with each other, and had "met our parents". it wasn't any sorts of formal meeting lah, just casual dining at my place and stuffs.
and we had our first overseas trip together with froggie and zhi yong. although we didn't go any further than malaysia, but to me, it's my first time going out of singapore with my boyfriend. so that has been very remarkable. our relationship became closer and stronger (sweeter and more affectionate too), until one terrible fight that took place, which resulted in the break-up in october. 5 months, tho' short but the memories will forever be etched in my heart. never be forgotten..
and today, SIGHS. shan't mention much, as i'm deeply upset about the way we are now. but still, i sincerely hope that now that we won't be seeing each other at work at all anymore, we'll still be able to say HI to each other upon crossing paths on the streets.
i wish you all the best.
and i really mean it.

we love to live.
we live to love.
but why love when we'll all end up hurting? and couples end up splitting up?
nothing is forever in life.
then why live and suffer?
we sleep to wake.
we wake to sleep.
then why live?
we live to die.
and when we're at the brink of death, we're dying to live.
why study and work so hard when we'll all die anyway?
don't cha think ironies should just burn in hell?

Y what a bore.
i'm always tired, even tho' i slept till 11am this morning. why ah? ponders*
had ECAD lessons only from 1pm till 4pm today. froggie and i were marked late for class, as we reached the classroom only about half an hour later. haha! all we did in class was to finish up the practicals, and i'm still in the midst of doing practical 4 - adding shopping cart. shall complete the rest later on.
WAHAHA! froggie and i are in the same assignment group as yi peng and han de for ECAD! we're from different tutorial groups and yet we can be together! it's because our tutor's the same, and their team only had 2 person, and mine's too. thus, teacher asked if we wanna join them, so WHY NOT? hahaha! we have the genius with us! xD guess ECAD assignment will be one heavy load off my chest for now. (:
after class, froggie and i went to canteen 1 to grab a bite before going home. dozed off on 852, as i'm really sleepy. i've no idea why. haha! next week is the CT week. groans* :/
sigh, i believe my mates are gonna have helluva fun night at MOS later on. enjoy ya? if not for school, i'll probably be joining them as well. :/ screw school! :x

Y i'll keep your dirty lil secret.. xD
li'e and i shared a deepest and darkest secret today.
.. and since i said it's already a secret, so that's it.
period.
WAHAHAHAA! :x
so in the end, we did not go to the coffee club to work!! we were practically dashing for our lives after ECAD test to get to work on time. but because we think we're gonna be really late, so i called brennan up to tell him we'll be late. and since i'm on the phone with him, so i decided to ask him about the CPF deductions, which i thought of it suddenly. then after some calculations, li'e and i decided to tell brennan that we're giving this job up, because after the deductions, we'll bring home only about 3ish bucks per hour leh. so not worth it loh! hahahaha! it's just a part-time job, so who cares! right, tho' it may sound a lil irresponsible this way, but yay, li'e and i are in it together, no? xD WAHAHAHAA!
and since we're not going to work, and we were totally famished so we alighted the bus at the very next stop, which is right outside heeren (we were on 171 when we called brennan). head over to cineleisure, and we got the urge to catch a show, thus we bought the 6.15pm tickets for X-Men: The Last Stand. wells, that a kind of action flick that i don't usually fancy watching, but this show wasn't that bad afterall! haha.
went to grab a bite at Subway aftermath. and we had about 1hour before our show starts, so we went to heeren to shop around. we were practically fooling around in mini toons man! :x
who says my head is big huh? FROGGIE, so better stop calling me balloon-ey head, you moley!
the lastest handphone accessory! giant pink panther! LOL.
crossed over back to cineleisure when it's about time for our show. wells, the show is really good and sound system was awesome. it wasn't as touching as what my friends commented about the show. not bad lah, though poseidon still rocks. HAHAHAHA!
after the show ended, we walked around cine level 2. after fooling around mini toons before the show, it's still ain't enough for the 2 of us. therefore, we went into this shop and played somemore! HAHA! i didn't had any pictures of li'e playing around tho.. WHY AH? not fair.
HAHA! we were saying this specs is so like our conrad owner's. the other day we saw him at MESA, and we commented his specs were huge. classic man. :x i'm a GEEK!
i wanna find a shade like this man. duh, not this size of cause. hahaha! what's with that constipated look on my face? LOL.
li'e took this for me. DA TOU TIE inside the neoprint machine!
okay lah. a proper picture now..
o.Ov
haha! anyhows, thanks to li'e and i've got a job already. temporary one tho. it's back to pan pacific! not their banquet, but the executive floor. easier job, i guess? gonna start work on next weekend, together with li'e. =D this is not a always-have-vacancy job, so probably gonna find another one with li'e some other day. (: meanwhile, i'll take this 2 weeks to rest and study for my CT next week.
oh btw. today's ECAD test was sucha breeze for all of us man. hahaha! i skipped all the other lessons, and went to school only at 2ish to submit QLA tutorials at block47 and to take the ECAD test. my classmates and i were clustered together in the room, and we sat for the test. tho we were given different sets of papers but we found out that the questions were the same, only the questions and options were jumbled up. i sat right beside jason, and he's right next to yipeng the guru, AND we all shared answers!!! hahahahahhahahahaha. i love my class! muacks muacks! =x
i don't know why, but i'm in a better mood today. this is a great start.i'll live good, and hope you will too. take care alright. (:
right, gonna rest now. i'm having a bad sorethroat right now. coughs*
thank goodness lessons begin only at 1pm tomorrow, as QLA lecture in the morning has been cancelled. oh great!
alright, LATERS! ((:
P/S: OH OH! today we saw sylvester sim (SLY) in person!!! he's rather short in real life tho.. :x but still as good looking. hurrRR. :x

Y CHANGE.
people drifting.

Y what a slackin' day..
what a slacking day today. a wet one somemore, because it has been pouring the whole afternoon. man, i'm feeling soooo lethargic, and yet i still got the ECAD test to study for. PLUS, i am soooo addicted to The OC right now that i can't stop watching it. hahaha. so hot! benjamin mckenzie's reaally hot! :x
riight, earlier on when i was at northpoint with my family having dinner, i bumped into my secondary school's principal, mrs choy! and she remembers me! lol, we chatted a little. she talked to my folks a little, before we separated. haha! its been long since i saw her after her retirement. (:
anyhows. li'e and i are starting work at the coffee club at marina square tomorrow evening. haha, i wonder if we'll be used to the slightly less busy working environment over there. and a lower pay. :/ ohwells, time for a change anyway. wish us luck yea? (:
i'm off to study for ECAD. toodles!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y "Full House"!
sigh, i was dreading the end of work so much today. but the time still came afterall, and it's time to bid farewell to conrad and the people there. "bid farewell".
my feet are aching like a bitch right now! and i'm dying to hit the sack now. but i gotta wait for my hair to dry and i'm too tired to blow it. grr~ o.OzZz
today's OC was pretty fun. we took the coach from the hotel to the place - our hotel's owner house. it's somewhere at the west area, i supposed. this seems like some kind of VIP event, because most departments from the hotel were sent down to help out. this lady (i think her name's melinda) was extremely strict with the girls, and insisted that we put on lipstick, instead of just lipgloss. on the coach, we were asked to apply her thick red lipstick. damn red can. in the end, li'e, phoebe, samantha and i merely dapped a little on our lips. red lipstick = eew. :x
when we reached the house, my jaws almost dropped. the entire place is HUGE and B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!!! the whole place just reminded me of the "Full House"!!! so pretty, so grand!! window glasses everywhere. water everywhere. freaking nice lah. li'e and i managed to snap a few shots using our phone at night, discreetly. WAH LAO. i can't take my mind off the house now, and it's so fantasy lah. breathtaking sight. whistles* aiya, i don't know how to describe anymore la, so let the pictures speak. tho' it aint that much and the quality's not so good. :x
oh, according to boss raymond, the owner named the house after the first letter of his 4 children's names. MESA.
gosh. i'll probably will never get to live in such a huge place, unless i manage to get a golden terter. HAHA, kidding. :x
off track again. right, once we got there we were asked to take our dinner first before we had our briefing at about 5pm. dalland divided all of us into few teams to different areas of the house. i'm in Area C under rainer with 2 other TCC staffs. our area's at the main dining area, with window glasses surrounding us! gorgeous~ okay, then dalland showed us around and i kept gasping lah. haha!
at 6ish, we stood by our area and waited for the whole ceremony to be over before the cocktail and buffet begun at 7ish. have i mentioned what event was it? it's our owner's daughter's wedding. it's like any other normal cocktail and buffet, whereby we have to serve drinks and clear soiled plates and utensils. what really tires me out was that, we've to walk so much. to and fro the bar. to and fro the stewarding area. to add it on, the place was HUGE. however, our manager in-charge, rainer, is a really nice guy. he took care of the 3 of us really well, and he's friendly. there's 2 other managers (from other departments; just like rainer) who were really nice as well - terry and peter.
the whole thing was pretty smooth, yet tiring. towards the end, steven sent me to get li'e, miza and dang quan to be ushers downstairs, where we fed the mosquitoes. hahaha! then i actually saw the owner gave sir haibo a big note, which i guess it's about $10, 000, and he asked him to split out to ALL OF US! then raymond was like saying he'll give our names to them to bank in the money for us or something, BUT i think they'll unlikely to give us. boo, nevermind.
went to help zaeid (YES! he came back to help out just today) to pack the bar area downstairs. we ended playing bubbles and chatting, while working of cause. he was telling me sex stories! hahahahaha. then we decided to hang out some time soon, probably this coming wednesday. (: guests started leaving, and we began clearing. the guys were busy loading the stuffs onto the lorries. the girls did very little, and at about 12am, we were sent back to the hotel by the coach, whereas the guys stayed behind to continue working. and i believe they are probably still working right now. awww, poor things. :x
hmm. he was on the coach with us girls as well, and he was just slightly behind me. wells, i was just telling li'e that this kinda reminds me of our genting trip when we took the coach. it was so near yet so far. haha, it's just a thought and nothing else so fret not. we went back to the hotel aftermath, and was signed out at 1am. took the 1.30am transport home, and i so can't bear to leave the place.
the changing room where i'll always remember..
if it's not for ramesh, i believe li'e and i won't leave at all loh. we're happy working there, and we're familiar with the place, but.. sigh, nevermind. we've made up our minds, and that's it. i just feel really attached to conrad. what can i say? i can feel attached to a person or place pretty easily, that i don't give up or let go that easily. hmm i won't deny that i learnt many things during this period of them. i encountered all kinds of shits. and i learnt how to deal with different kinds of people, superiors and fellow collegues. in the real world, there's indeed many ugly truths.
ohwells.
i did managed to see him for the last time today afterall. that's good, because this fulfiled my one last wish. (: i feel emotional tonight man. and i'm surprised that li'e can tell by the look on my face. thanks girl. (: i'm alright, just a lil emo.
shall not hold onto it anymore.. let it fade. yes it hurts like a bitch, but i shall not ponder and mope over things. like what everyone's been telling me, just let it be..
one year, short enough to forget and dismiss? long enough to cut like a knife when gone..
forget me not.
DEEP SIGHS*
goodnights. =[

Y Balcony.
whooshhh! my head's so light after a light booze earlier on. it has been an awesome chill out session with li'e. bonding session, you see. hahaha!
i went out at 7ish just now and shopped around marina square while waiting for li'e to knock off from pan pac at 8pm. got myself a pair of greenish flip flops at only $6.20! haha. oh, the great singapore sales has begun! i am so tempted to go on a huge shopping spree man. but no i can't, 'cause i need to start saving for my dream vacation after graduation. teeheehee.
here's my greenish flip flops. =D
speaking 'bout footwear, i saw this pair of unique design shoes while window shopping online the other day. i am sooooooooo tempted to buy it, how? it's only 16buckeroos, inclusive of postage.
pretty hoh? should i? :/
alright, abit off track already. once i met up with li'e, we took 162 to cineleisure. we had the intentions to catch a movie, but because it's friday night, so we couldn't find a suitable time slot for our show. in the end, we gave the movie a miss and strolled around instead. went to grab a bite at LJS before crossing over to heeren. most of the shops are already closed by that time, so we ended up playing in the action city shop, looking at stuff toys. hahahahaha! :x
o.Ov
at 10ish, we settled ourselves in Balcony, the open bar outside/in heeren. we got ourselves a seat at the 2nd floor, and the place isn't air-conditioned, so the room wasn't that smokey, which we hated. the place was rather packed. it was my virgin trip to this bar, and it was a nice experience. 'tho at times we felt weird having eyes on us, as though they were thinking we were single girls trying to hook up guys there. roll eyes* well, li'e and i were practically in our own world chatting about life, school, work, boys, future, etc. we talked about everything lah. oh, did i mentioned what did we ordered?
i ordered lychee martini, with teeny bit of alcohol in it. it taste pretty good. xD
and li'e ordered a mocktail, strawberry margarita.
the menu has many interesting items in it. i mean the names of the drinks. especially the shooters. 'blowjob', 'quick fuck', 'orgasm' and etc. hahahaha, impressive. :x
we spent $28 altogether. we left the place and took the train back home at 11ish aftermath. it had been a great night. and balcony will be our new hang out from now on. but i doubt we'll frequent there lah, 'cause it's pretty costly.
oh yay. since i was uploading pictures from my phone earlier on, so here's the pictures i promised last week. remember i mentioned that froggie, li'e and i were asked to wear the hawaii top at work last friday? here's how kuku we looked. imagine us tying a knot at our waist area. -_-
taken in our staff toilet.
taken in the 4th floor SBTP toilet. steve allowed us to use it when my bladder almost burst at night. hahahaha! :x
working at 3pm tomorrow. last day le. damn! :/
hopefully it'll be fun tomorrow, since we going OC. (:
toodles!
someday, somehow i'm gonna make it alright but not right now.

Y have a nice weekend ahead! xD
because of a prank some anonymous played on me, i'm not working tonight. i received a private call this morning telling me my booking has been cancelled, and yun called to check for me about it. by the time the coordinator call back and say nobody has been cancelled and i'm supposed to be still working, it's already too late for me to rush down in time to start work at 5pm. thus, i'm right at home slacking my ass off, waiting for time to pass before i'm going out for some night chilling with li'e at town. it's been long we went out chilling late. my form of chilling is just hanging out, catching a show or some sorts like this. haha!
anyhows, WISP this morning was FUN! okay, it's because we had a number of skits prepared for us/by us. my team was the last team to present the skit. li'e and i were the ones doing the entire script. credits mainly to li'e tho. well done, girl! =D yay, our skit was about a pair of couple (chinese guy and malay girl) being objected from courtship by their parents. haha, we sort of made the skit a little bit interesting by having some craps added to it. i had a short part in it only, and most of ended up laughing most of the time. HAHAHA! i think our WISP tutor was pretty cool. she's gentle and nice to all of us, and very lenient with attendance. LOL.
had HumanComm at blk53 aftermath. submitted our assessment 1, and we did some group activities as usual. guess it's about time we should begin working on our assessment 2, which gonna be a team work. gonna work with froggie (MOLEY), li'e, jason and benjamin. hope it'll be easy for us.
we were released rather early today. we got jason to submit our MWS practicals for us, and we head to canteen 3 for lunch. left for home at about 12ish. took a nap till 4ish just now, before doing some house chores. i'm finding stuffs to do before i'm gonna prepare to meet li'e later on. ^^
tomorrow is my final day working at conrad. fo'real this time round. li'e and i are going OC (outside catering) tomorrow at 3pm. li'e, after working in conrad for sooo long, finally you're able to go OC. initially, mery texted li'e saying she's been changed to 6pm to work in-house, and that really dampens our mood man. i called mery and got her to help us swap somebody, so that li'e can go OC with me. and YES! we are going OC tomorrow. wells, hopefully tomorrow will be fun for us. i'll really miss my collegues there. and tomorrow is really the last time i'm seeing him.
ohwells.
have a nice weekend ahead, guys! xD

Y HELLO!
HELLO HELLO!!
right, cut the crap. i am oh-so tired right now. okay, nothing unusual 'bout that.
started school at 11am this morning, as our PI tutor was on MC. did the weekly quiz online instead. had QLA at 11am, which froggie and i were struggling through. it's because everyone else are already on topic 5, and we're still stuck at topic 3! gotta chiong liao. the CT paper is on the 6th june! damn. time's really running out.
lessons ended at 1pm, and i had my 3 hours break till 4pm before PI movie screening. waited for yun, before the 3 of us went to SIM canteen to meet kengey and her friends. they were here to enquire about SIM admission thingy. we had lunch together, and all of us clicked pretty well and chit-chatted over lunch. kengey and her friends head off for their enquiries with the admin staffs, whereas yun, froggie and i walked back to ngee ann's coolest place - the library. riight...
haha! we idled at the library doing our tutorials till 3ish. we were sooooooo hardworking can. we completed QLA topic 3 tutorial now. and i'm having problems with topic 4 now. blame it on myself for skipping classes, which resulted in me receiving low attendance notification already. duh. went to buy bubble tea and some snacks before going over to LT68 to meet the rest of the class for the movie screening.
we watched a black&white movie today - charlie chaplin. it's sooooooooo boring, that i kinda wanna doze off already. okay maybe not, 'cause some parts were funny altho it's like a silent movie. BORING LAH! and the LT was uber cold. i'm freezing inside. plus the ice blended drink i was having. haha, stupid. the movie ended at 5ish, and i head back home straight.
sometimes, i hate it when some people always want others to take the initiative to contact them to do project discussion, instead of them contacting us. take our WISP skit for instance, li'e and i were making the effort to do the script, and the other 2 malay girls just sat and did nothing, and i bet they were waiting for us to call them or something. why can't they take the initiative instead? now that we've got the script ready, i wonder if they'll hit me on msn tonight to even ask about it. GRR! and also, this is another issue now. why order the jersey when you can't afford it? now that the jersey's ready, and you're telling us you're unable to pay? what is this man? GRR! there's always a limit to everything.. my patience especially.
ohwells.
and tonight, i've many many assignments to complete. tomorrow's another long day. working at ritz carlton for the first time at 5pm tomorrow. i'm a new bird there. i'm missing conrad already. i mean the people there, mind you. so yay, toodles!

Y The OC is really addictive!
The OC is really addictive!

Y a lil catchin' up.
alright, i've many works to be done so i'll just blog briefly.
today i had a great time catching up with kengey after school. we met up at CWP after my classes for dinner. before that, we walked around the mall aimlessly. CWP is getting so boring, despite it being so big. settled ourselves down at KFC for dinner, before i decided to go over to kengey's place to slack. had wanted to sit on kengey's car back home, but without a qualified driver beside her, she don't have the guts to drive out alone yet, so i decided to wait for another time. hahahaha! i don't care okay. i wanna be your second passenger, after your family! :x
earlier in the day, i had my lessons as per normal. MWS for 3 hours, which was a bore, as usual. froggie and i had lunch with lu hua over at canteen 2, before having our MBA tutorial at 1pm. i dozed off in class man! so tired. had QLA lecture aftermath, before going to meet mdm judith for my internship interview. all i did was to fill up a form, and i'm required to wait for the company's call to see if i'm selected for the project. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! i want this project. :x
alright, toodles!

Y numbed.
just back home from northpoint. went to meet lu hua for supper as well as to help him pass a birthday cake to xia yun. haha, i felt pretty awkward going into her flat. LOL. ohwells, i just wanna do lu hua this favour, since he once helped me passed the necklace to wilson too. after that, we sat in Mac eating and chatting. that was when Brennan of the coffee club called and told me li'e and i will be starting working on next monday! yay! =D
anyhows. no matter how lethargic i was feeling this morning, i dragged my lazy ass to school afterall. had QLA in the morning, and i sat for the quiz. wells, i left the 5 marks question on aggregate production plan (which is from topic 3) totally blank, because i missed the tutorial! i didn't study much for the theory part, so im not sure if i can score well in the MCQ part. however, i'm pretty confident in scoring for the 5marks topic2 calculation question. i had my fingers crossed.
had lunch with my lovelies in canteen 2 aftermath. as usual, we had hell loads of time crapping and laughing. we even planned to have a class gathering every year on the 28th june starting from this year, because this is the date we all started anew as one class. for starters, this year we're planning of having a 8course dinner at mount faber. wells, we're still in the midst of planning it. i simply can't wait to go up to mount faber. LOL. =D
had 3 hours of ECAD after that, which i concentrated doing the practicals. halfway through, froggie and i went to COOP to buy snacks to much while working. haha! finished class at 4pm and i head back home immediately. on the way, kengey called and told me that she passed her TP!!! congrats girl!!!!! drive me around soon okay? hahahaha. my first singaporean friend to have a licence. when is my turn man? i'm still waiting for the perfect time to start my practical lessons. hmmmm.
ohwells.
___________________________________________________
i feel i'm such a busy bee. so much to do, so little time. i need to start mugging soon. CT's in 2weeks' time. first paper on the 6th june. damn!
___________________________________________________
i am too numbed by all the "news" he gave that i totally felt nothing at the lastest REAL one. however, i think it's ridiculous.
nevermind, i feel much better now.
crying does works. sharing your thoughts out helps too.
it helps clears my head a little,
i guess.
who am i trying to kid?
things are different now.
whatever it is.
all the best to you.
i mean it.

Y grant my wish.
went for a couple of job interviews today together with li'e. frankly, after we've ever being employed for $6 per hour, each time we came across a pay lower than, let's say, $5 per hour, we felt really reluctant to take the job. we tried a few today at city hall area - suntec city and marina square. we tried gelare cafe, anderson's ice cream and the coffee club. the pay range is from $4.30 - $5.00 only. it's so pathetic can. ohwells, or maybe it's because we are too used to $6. oh, we had wanted to drop by raffles hotel to interview for banquet but the 2 times that we went, the in-charge was either having lunch break or had already knocked off. so yay, there goes that job for the time being.
the longest interview we had today was at the coffee club (marina square outlet), and i seriously think the outlet manager, brennan, is a nice chap! good-looking malay guy. and from what we can see, the staffs there seems rather nice. after a looooooong chat with the guy, i think li'e and are hired. we gave him our availability for next week, and hopefully by tomorrow they will call us for work. well, we'll just give it a try. xD it's just a part-time job, so no sweat.
after all the interviews, li'e and i began pampering ourselves. wells, because of some screw ups at conrad's finance department, we didn't receive our pay like the norm today. i contacted mery about it, and she assured me that by tomorrow (latest) we'll get it. and yay, i just checked and i got my pay at 11pm just now. BUT.. in the afternoon, we almost didn't get to enjoy and pamper ourselves because of the pay-less mood we were having. however, we managed to "dig out" some money to enjoy!
enjoy = headache gone. o.Ov
we had subway for lunch today. haha! oh, li'e and i caught Poseidon at the TheCathay in the evening. i swear this is the coolest flick i've caught so far. 4.5 chocobytes out of 5 for it!
intially, i had thought the storyline would be similar to Titanic and you know, all the romance starts coming in in the midst of the sinking of the ship. but nah, it wasn't exactly like that at all. i almost teared because there were some parts which were too touching. now i have second thoughts about having a cruise getaway because i can't freaking hell swim. haha! btw, li'e and i were screaming and shrieking in the cinema during the show. it's sooooo exciting lah. it's really worth the 7bucks. and i made the right choice watching this flick in a cinema with good sound system, instead of leeching it. :x
it began to pour after our movie, and we wanna go to bugis for shopping spree and dinner. thus, we cabbed there. hahaha! shopped around parco bugis junction, and we bumped into jason and wei liang. they saw us first, and hid behind this pillar. wah lao, they wanna hide also don't know how to hide, because i spotted wei liang's not-available-in-singapore-but-only-in-taiwan green adidas sneakers before we even see their faces. hahaha! chatted a lil, and we decided to meet for dinner at 8ish since we ain't hungry yet. went our separate ways to shop around aftermath.
at 8ish, jason called and we met again outside pastamania for dinner. jason's really lame, as usual. hahaha! anyhows, after dinner we went our separate ways once again. li'e and i went into bugis streets to shop this time. woohoo! my loots includes - a pretty jeans with pink lines and a really nice brown tee. the jeans really unique, and similar to the one i saw at my school's bazaar last year! the one i saw last year was too huge for me, plus its from "collage" and the one i bought today is much cheaper. 18bucks only! dirt cheap can. wahaha. i love my loots. retail therapy rocks. xD
went to take 851 home at 10ish. i had a blast today. we even talked about the memories we had in conrad. after watching Poseidon, i remembered during work on NYE. the fun-filled countdown and stuffs. OHWELLS. :/ right, thanks li'e for making my these few unhappy days so bearable (although at times her craziness is driving me nuts. hoh, mad ass? =x). sometimes, a friendship that has both ups and downs last longer. just like tiffany and kengey. i had quite alot of unhappy times with them as well, and look at us now, we're still keeping in touch and friendship bond is as strong as before. in fact, stronger. right girls?
yay. li'e and i had our fair shares of fights too, and we overcomed all. till today, we're more frank with each other. and whatever that we're unhappy about each other, we'll speak up and resolve them. forgive and forget. frankly, i hope to see all of us (froggie and yun as well) back like in the past some day. whatever unhappiness or conflicts in the past will all be gone. this thought of mine has been in my heart all these while since the start of the semester. will this ever come true afterall? sigh..
i love li'e as much as i love yun and froggie. (note: not those kinda homo love, mind you) will we all be happy once again? :/ i hope i'm not stirring troubles by bringing this up. if i did, i'm sorry.
___________________________________________________________
put that aside for now. i've got a good news to share. that is, i'm shortlisted for my internship application - NCS.
so this wednesday i'm going down for the interview. wish me good luck alright? (:
hmm, and to "balance" up the good news, i've a bad news too. common test week is just 2 weeks' away. oh my holy shit! i'm so not prepared lah. damn!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Y i'll really miss this place.
sigh, i'm feelin' so emotional tonight. bits and pieces of events that took place right in conrad from 9th april 2005 flashed back in my mind all over again. every lil thing. i missed everything back then, because today, everything has changed.
today is my last day working in-house at conrad, as next saturday i'll be working outside catering. before i started work at 5pm, i told myself that no matter what, i must enjoy working tonight. it wasn't that bad afterall, lah. it sure does brighten up my
according to steven, guests requested to start dinner early tonight so that they can all go home early. that explains why we started work at 5pm instead of the usual 6pm. we had our briefing and steven gave us our tables. haha, and today my partner was once again yi bin. third time in 2 weeks. haha! he's fun to work with lah. (: went to serve cocktail, and i made phoebe sad because i told her li'e and i are gonna leave soon. i'm sorry, wifey. :/ right, like she will ever read this. haha. ohwells.
dinner began at 7pm, and just before first course, there was already a spillage somewhere. and of cause we were all being drilled by blackie at the backlane before presentation. spoiler. anyhows, dinner went really smooth for me, 'cept that i pity phoebe whose side station was right in front of mine, because her partner sucks. ended up yi bin and i had to occationally help them out as well.
towards the end of the dinner, there was yet another spillage at the table right beside mine. omg, this is crazy. the red wine was spilled all over the guest's top. and of cause, we were all being drilled again by the blackie as well as sam at the backlane after dinner. it was real bad, because the two of them were fuming mad. steven was the best, because he seems cool with everything. haha.
and because it was steven who's in-charge of turning over, so li'e and i decided to stay back. li'e, charith and i were sent downstairs to touch up lorong because there's gonna be an inspection tomorrow morning. holy, the place was so damn messy lah. the 3 of us tore the whole place down and tidied the place up. the place was so damn stuffy that the 3 of us were sweating like mad. i was practically sitting down on the floor folding one skirting after another. and when we were finally done, we went back to the ballroom and soon, steven signed us all out at 1am.
sighs. seriously, i'll really miss conrad. err no, not the hotel but the people there. the friends i made in there. every single one of them, even the chef who always say li'e and i are real sisters. yes, that's how attached i am to this place. the memories i had there. good and bad ones. all will be treasured. this may be exaggerating to many of you, but this is however the first job that i stayed on for so long. all thanks to wilson of cause, if not i won't be able to endure on. if not for all the changes we're facing at work recently, i really won't leave until my attachment begins. SIGHS. ):
ohwells, as i've said to li'e earlier on, that we'll move on and create new memories at another place. we'll be able to do it, no? i hope so. without my once booster, i don't know if i'm able to do it.
well, my wish was granted and i saw him today. and i believed next saturday i'll see him too, for the very last time. sigh. T_T
i feel like crying at the thought of it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha. i'm chatting with neeky now. we're actually talking about how our lives gonna be like after we graduated. we say that we wanna have a class gathering once a year, and in future who ever gets married, we'll invite the whole class then we'll take up 2 tables in the ballroom. hahahaha. then we're discussing about who we think will be the first to get married. for girl, we think it's gonna be froggie and for guy, probably martin or danny. LOL!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
why am i still up so late? fyi, it's 3.43am now. wells, i'm skipping school tomorrow, again. i've really lost my mood for school already man. how? but no worries, i won't make myself fail in any modules in this final semester before attachment. i'm going for a job interview tomorrow afternoon, before pampering myself with a movie treat and a small shopping spree. yay, this should be the way.
P/S: the new mouse my dad bought me from Sim Lim Square rocks man.

Y it's a bad bad month...
please please please. please let me see him for the last time tomorrow and next saturday. i didn't see him today and yesterday. i just wanna have one last look. is that too much to ask for? sighs*
work has been really tiring for me today. it wasn't as happy as last night, because blackie was around. but thank goodness it was sam who did the briefing. i liked the way sam worked, because he's much more organised than the other managers. jovin too. anyways, today's ballroom was really grand and pretty. black tablecloths with gold metallic runners, and red roses everywhere. gorgeous! i began "designing" the ballroom of my wedding dinner in future in my head. i've even thought of who to ask to be my emcee - kengey. hahaha! right, i've thought too far already, plus i don't even know if i'll ever find my soulmate at all. duh!
wells, sam gave me a partner who claimed that he's first day working in banquet! omigod, i was wishing myself goodluck at the beginning already. btw, sam mentioned about what happened (to luhua) last night to everyone, without mentioning names of cause (unlike dalland who did so to yun!!), during briefing. sigh, whatever sam said made me worried for lu hua even more. i just hope things won't get too ugly. and won't involve police. :/ went to serve cocktail aftermath, until 8pm when door opens.
i find my partner really irritating, because he kept asking stupid questions! i tried staying cool and answered his doubts patiently, until he finally got my nerve then i began talking to him in a slightly agitated tone. he walks like a ter ter! come on, we're all busy in operation and he still can stroll from side station to our tables and stroll to the bar. (read: stroll) i don't know if my chinese is too difficult to understand or what, 'cos what i said to him seems to be forgotten shortly after! i told him to wipe the side plates before bringing out because ramesh is walking around taking down names of those who did not do so. my partner wiped for the first few courses only! each time i portion, i've to wipe myself again. then he's always MIA, and god knows where the hell he've been to. i was glad to have berry and zhi ling helping me at times. my partner was so slow that berry had to come and help me portion for every courses! then everytime berry portion, i serve and my partner? MIA. !!!
towards the last few courses, i went to be runner myself. my face was all flushed from anger, and i was perspiring man. at the end, i couldn't find where's my partner after telling him to send the cake back to grand salon. when he's finally back, i asked him sarcastically if he just came back from africa. i know i was really unfriendly to him the whole night. he really got on my nerves. this is the 2nd guy i've opened my golden mouth to scold. damn, this dinner really tires me out as i've carried quite alot of oval trays.
dinner ended late at 11ish. did some clearing then first batch staffs went back at 12mn. and since it's sam in-charge and not that blackie, i decided to stay back. i cleaned susans and wiped 400 showplates with the other girls. until about 1am, sam sent me to help berry and zhi ling at 5th floor. helped to set up conference room 1 - 4. i was running up and down getting stuffs. then finally we finished everything at 2am. went to change and took the 2.30am transport home. on the way home, the cab i was in was stopped at yishun ave 4 for police check. there were me and another girl on the vehicle. the policeman told the driver to stop at the side, and the other girl and i were asked to get off the car to check our IC. the policewoman asked why were we home so late, then i explained to her that we just finished work at conrad hotel. they took down our particulars before letting us off. i think it's because so late already and we 2 girls were on a uncle's cab, so for our safety, they did the check. scary man.
it's 4.28am now already. i should be sleeping, but am still talking to lu hua. sigh, i'm so worried about what's gonna happen to him. according to him, wilson is trying to help him in this. i hope wilson will really help him. just hope finance don't freeze his pay on monday. if not free labour man! damn.. this month is really a bad month for so many people. particularly people around me, people i know. even he also lost his wallet and every cards and some cash last week. it's a bad bad month....
P/S: 21st may. Happy 19th birthday, xiu ping! (:

Y hawaii-ish.
i don't understand why i always feel tired in the morning, even though i turned in early the night before. haha! today i slept on the way to school and back home from school. had lessons from 8am to 12pm today. we had WISP which froggie, li'e and i were uber late for class. when we got to class, we did some group posting on MeL, before watching a short skit by jessie's team. HAHA! so hilarious. it's a skit about asian stereotypes. next week will be our turns, and we've got an interesting idea in mind. stay tuned! =D
at 10am, we climbed the hill to block 53 for Human Comm. did the usual group activities, and as usual, jason was the hyper one always doing dumb stuffs to crack all of us up. haha! class ended at 11ish. froggie left home, whereas li'e and i head to canteen 3 for lunch. saw the guys in the canteen and we joined them. woohoo, they wore the class jerseys altogether, because they are going to play soccer. wei liang had wanted me to join them to be the goal post. -_- haha!
left home aftermath. i quickly got changed and went out to meet li'e at 3ish. we had decided to meet up earlier because we had to run some errands. on the way, mery called and asked us to come early at 4.30pm instead of 5pm. thus, once i meet up with li'e, we rushed with our errands before going to conrad to meet froggie. oh, li'e and i dropped by to visit zhe bin to pass him his stuffs before going to work.
went to report after we got changed. we wore t-shirt to do set-up for pool pavillion. damn, it so damn hot up there lah. we were pespiring the whole night can. i was so glad and relieved that i don't see the blackie (ramesh) around at all the whole night. it was all about sam and steve, and they rocks! wells, froggie and i fold napkins during set-up. at 6pm, the 3 of us were released for dinner break. we changed into the GREEN HAWAII SHIRT!!! so ugly. (i've got pics, but there's some problems with my bluetooth so another time ya?) i feel so zookeeper/tourguide wearing that. we had to wear that top with our normal skirt, PLUS we have to tie a knot at our waist area. EEEEEEEEK! hahahahhaa.
anyways, the function at pool pavillion was some kind of buffet dinner. there were 12 tables and 10staffs. we were divided to 2 teams, and i was with sathis and froggie. very simple job lah, just clearing and stuffs. BUT... the place was dammit hot. beads of pespiraton are forming at all our foreheads. thank goodness today lu hua was the bartender, so he got me nice softdrinks to drink, discreetly. =D
at 9ish, when guests are starting to leave, sam got me to the office to get some stuffs so i made use of this opportunity to go into the ballroom where lulu and zhiling are doing set-up, to slack and enjoy the air-con. :x during turnover, all of us gathered and ate the leftover buffet food. haha! after which, we resumed with our work. sam disturbed us girls and made us shift the GIANT sofa. come on loh, i was pushing it with all my might and it ain't moving at all! and sam could somemore stand beside and mock at me. BOO. wells, it's meant to be a joke. damn.
after we're done with 4th floor, froggie and i went into the ballroom to help out lulu and zhi ling for a short while, before we were all released at 11.30pm. went to change, before taking the 12.30am transport home. zzz.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
random:
lu hua's gonna be banned from conrad, i guess. some serious YET common happened to him, but he was just unlucky to get caught. SIGHS.
instead of sunday being my last day in conrad, i'll be working on next saturday too. mery was practically begging us to help her out next saturday, so yay, i can't bear to disappoint her lah. anyways, it's outside-catering, so why not earn the extra chinks? OC = no ramesh, anyway. haha!
the more happy my last few days in conrad is, the more it is for me to leave. i feel attached to the place la. :/
there's another letter from the bank for wilson in my letter box today. -_-
i can't believe i've got the abilities to make zhi ling feel all that.
i am very tired. as usual.
bye.

Y bummer!
latest phone bill damage : $46.35
AWW.
i am such a dead meat. i skipped PI lecture, and came home to snooze! wells, PI attendance has become compulsory and for that, i passed my student card to li'e for her to tap my attendance for me. tskkk! as for the movie that i've skipped, i'm gonna go read reviews after reviews to know what is it all about before sitting for my quiz next week.
had PI this morning and i did my quiz beforehand, so i just hand it up to teacher when the time is up. haha! after which, we had the case study discussion as usual. it's becoming such a routine that i find it sucha bore. wells, it's for BONDING, as said. rolls eyes* today's article all of us don't understand what is it all about, except benjamin. hahaha! so he did everything, and ben did the powerpoint slides. then the guys got us to present, except me ('cos i presented last week ok). :p btw, we've a new girl who joined us and she's samantha.
initially, it's just froggie, samantha and shu mei presenting. but our teacher got the whole team to be in front as well. damn! wells, the girls just read out what's written on the slides, and the back-ups (the guys) elaborated everything. :x after the presentation from the other teams, we were released. froggie and i skipped QLA and had our lunch in the canteen with our classmates. haha! bummer, i've been skipping lessons lately man. what's going on?
didn't want to skip PI lecture, but because of unforeseen circumstances, we decided to. went to look for li'e before taking the bus home. the humid and oh-so unbearable weather is making me feel so restless nowadays. i came home and napped for 2hours plus till now, and i'm gonna complete writing the script for our WISP skit for tomorrow. damn! :/ oh btw, i've cancelled my tuition assignment tonight due to some reasons. so yay.. i can't be a tutor man! :/
anyways, yesterday i mentioned that i went to marina square right? haha, it was a blast. i mean, li'e and i ended up shopping! i only bought one t-shirt lah. and then we dropped by where zhe bin's working to pay him a visit. haha! am i right that he has a goatee? haha, cool! we chatted a little, told him about us leaving conrad and blah blah. gonna go look for him again tomorrow before work to hand in the very-belated birthday present (FRIENDS dvd) and the class jersey.
yup. working at 5pm tomorrow. this weekend gonna be my last days in conrad... sighs.

Y lethargic.
managed to pay attention during the 3 hours MWS this morning, and i did my work obediently as well. after which, we had lunch together with the rest of our classmates at canteen3. the feeling was heartwarming. (:
after lunch, froggie and i went for MBA tutorial. aftermath, we felt lethargic thus decided to give QLA a miss, again. called junior to get him to help us sign our attendance. haha! before leaving school, froggie and i went to get ourselves yogurt ice cream to cool ourselves down under this warm weather. took the bus home straight after that.
i came home and napped till now. oh, we don't have to work today because mery called me last night at 11ish to inform us about our bookings being cancelled. good one. (: felt pretty lazy to work today actually. this weekend will be my last days at conrad. i'll definitely miss everyone there. sighs, damn ramesh..
sighs.
ADD-ON\\
i'm now off to meet this mad girl for dinner at marina square right now.

Y BAH.
everything's kinda going past really quickly lately, maybe due to the fact that a lot of things on different ends of the spectrum are spiralling on me. it gets too much to bear at times. i need to catch my breath badly.
i just want to give up so badly but at the same time, i have no idea how to "give up". its not like it is something you can choose. at least with friends, its easy 'cos you can choose who you want to befriend with or not.
there are a lot of things i want to say but mostly intimidated. yay sure, certain things are durable but not completely inmune to spoilage. in day-to-day life, it gets forgotton that it will however be broken. i think it is the nature of human to wanna protect what is closest to their heart but is it worth sacrificing another part of them?
am i supposed to carry on with it? 'cos i don't think i can do it anymore without any support.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
starting my first tuition assignment on this coming thursday.
decided to go to work tomorrow, friday, saturday and lastly, sunday.
i very much can't bear to leave
i'm getting sick and tired of school, that i always has the intentions of skipping them. and end up knowing nuts about the lectures, thus nuts about the tutorials as well.
i really don't know which company to choose for my internship.
BAH.

Y wedding dinners make me feel emo. ):
after coming back from cousin jie rong's wedding dinner, i feel like getting hitched. it's always like that, why ah? i feel so emo after attending the dinner. towards work as well as him. Sighs* i wanna love and be loved again..
anyhows. i attended a few hours of school today as i skipped the afternoon lectures and came home at 1ish to rest before preparing to head down to amara hotel with my parents at 6ish. we reached the hotel at 7ish, and they were serving cocktail at the foyer. haha! everything just so remind me of work. their cocktail seems easier than ours leh, 'cause their trays seems lighter than our metal ones. haha!
waited for my cousins to arrive, before we entered the ballroom together. the door opens only at 8ish. anyhows, i wasn't looking at the guests or anything, but instead i was observing the staffs there! LOL. their uniforms is so much nicer than ours can! all black, and short skirt with slits at both sides. and i noticed the female staff's hair are bun up, but without a hairnet. eh, like that better right? not so aunty. haha! however, i noticed there's many aunties working there. oh, and their VIP servers wore the same uniforms, no cheong sums or any sorts. even the managers and captains wore the same. it's hard to tell who's casual labours, who's captains or mangers. hmm, equality.
amara hotel.
alright, i was seated at table 8 together with my folks, grandpa, cousin ai ying and family. 10pax per table. haha! look at the table settings.
it's hard to take a perfect picture.
look! i drink wine!
this's the menu. 8 course dinner.
dinner commenced at about 8.45pm. the first course presentation was normal, but i liked the sparkly ceiling when the lights were dimmed. beautiful! anyhows, each server served 2 tables. in another words, 1-to-2-tables. and it's mainly family service, except a few courses which requires them to do table portioning. haha, normally people who went to wedding dinners, they'll blog about the couple or the event itself, and i'm being weird blogging about how the servers served! hahaha! wells, i'm just observing, in case i wanna job hop over to their hotel. :x ohwells, i don't wanna stick to F&B line. and yay, last resort lah.
throughout the dinner, i was catching up with ai ying. and little li ying came and irritate us by urging us to play finger games with her. haha! she's uber hyperactive since young. always "zeh zeh" here "zeh zeh" there. when li'e called me, she even snatched my phone over to talk to her. haha! crazy little girl.
dinner ended at 10ish, and we took train home together. after the dinner, i've got mixed feelings towards whether to leave conrad or not. i was sms-ing with jing xuan this morning and somehow i really missed her, and all the other friends working with me there. i know we can always keep in touch, but it's a different kind of feeling still, no? i seriously don't know what step should i take next. anyone enlighten me please? ):
as for him, i feel sad because i thought of 17may. OH WHY? i wished yun could just forget that matter, 'cause i really don't wish to see him in any kinds of trouble. ): nevermind. forget it. i've no say in this at all.
btw, i've chosen my FYP, and i seriously can't decide which company to apply for my internship. should i go for the near but lesser vacancy or far but more vacancies one? or should i just opt for in-house instead? HOW HOW HOW? i've got until friday to decide. :/ today i was just talking to cousin jeffery about bringing me into his company to work after i graduate. haha! he's working at hong leong finance, and it should not be a problem for me to work with him once i graduate. or if i wanna work in the IT field, i still can go with cousin mei ying. lol, my mom found many alternatives for me already. that's pretty good actually.
gah! this entry is so random. whatever.
i've the intentions of skipping school tomorrow. lost all of my mood man.
i feel like becoming a loner man.
life's sucha bitch.

Y it was better..
first off, a very belated happy mama's day to all the proud mothers in the world. (:
my family had a simple celebration last week, thus it was just simple wishings to my mom this morning. both my dad and her are off to my cousin's place for their wedding, to drink tea. haha! oh yes! the wedding dinner's tomorrow night at amara hotel and i'm so going to go for it! it's time people serve me instead of me always serving them, no? wahaha!
anyhows. work today was slightly better than the last 2 nights, because steven was the main in-charge. although that black ass is still around finding people's mistakes and all. i got the same partner i've had last night, and he's not bad lah. however, steven thinks too highly of me and gave me and him 2 giant tables. both 14 pax. because the table is big, so i had difficulties reaching for the center susan to take/land things. haha! everytime i've to either stretch with all my might, all resort to getting steve or my partner to get for me. LOL!
my guests were great people, and both tables wrote good comments about me on the GCC cards. however, they're still a lil bit evil because they drank red wine and beer like consuming water. i've to make umpteen trips to the bar for the whole night that my feet hurts. ohwells. and because zhi ling's side station was right behind mine, he is, as usual, constantly helping my partner and me. Sighs*
dinner ended, and we did a quick clearing. i insisted on not staying, just because ramesh asked me to. for what i gonna help him anyway? grr. left at 12am and we went to change before taking the 12.30am transport back home. and now it's past 2am already and i'm still up. it's because i just talked to lu hua again. hmm, he's not in the best of mood tonight, so i just try cheering him up abit loh. i was just telling li'e today before work that i believe lu hua is one good soul-buddy to have, like a sister. haha! li'e and i were talking about this is because i was telling him that before i went to meet her, i had a chat with jae. haha! he's good at making one laugh. oh man, the craps that he said to me is real silly. wells, i'll be heading to jae's estate with my mom in june for some malay wedding lunch, so probably i'll buy him a birthday gift or something which i owed many years plus this year's coming too. =)
oh yay. i've spoken to my folks about what happened at work recently. they're pretty supportive of me quitting. so guess this week will be my last week, 'tho i'm still considering to MIA for the rest of my bookings. i wanna conrad die, but not mery. so yay, i'm still thinking.
alright, i should really get going. i've to wake up for school like 3hours plus later? damn. guess i'm skipping some of the lectures to come home to prepare for the wedding dinner at night. yay. o.Ov goodnights.

Y ANGRY!
i am SO SO SO SO SO pissed right now. i'm so pissed that i wanna shit. i am so pissed that i wanna cry. i am so pissed that i wanna cuss and swear. i am so freaking pissed off. tomorrow i'm gonna talk to my folks, and let them know i want out of this hotel, and find another job. how about genki sushi at marina square? winks* naw, i don't eat sushi so it makes no sense for me to work there.
work hasn't being fine for me at all today. i think it will be a tough week ahead before li'e and i want officially out of there hell. i got teeny weeny bit feel like going MIA for the rest of the week. hmmm. I NEED A NEW PART-TIME JOB! :/
ARGH. the thought of what happened today really makes my blood boils. during briefing, ramesh asked me to tell him the way to speak to a guest if they did not indicate their names and contacts on the comments card to indicate them. for that, everyone has their own different ways of saying so i said in my way. then he stopped me halfway 'cause he thinks it isn't the way he wanted. not only that, he said i sounded too rough. come on loh, it's not like i said vulgarities, so where's the rough part? he went on and asked if i've got boyfriend, then i haven't even said a single thing, he went on and said "NO WONDER". what has rough and got boyfriend or not got to do with THIS issue? i felt so totally insulted. nobody close were beside, and i felt so humiliated. some people may think i've over reacted, but you should take a look at his CHARCOAL face when he said that. ass!
ramesh was totally sarcastic, that lu hua retorted at him quite a number of times. i once respected this black fella, but today, i think he doesn't fit to be a manager. so what he usually thinks highly of me and often gets me to do things that he don't usually allow others to do? so what he "promoted" me to VIP server? i never wanted that anyway. i hate the way he mimics the way people speaks. especially at aunties or those china people who can't speak good english. how i wish i could slap him hard and get him to respect others. how can he expect us to respect him when he don't respect us too? we're working under him doesn't give him the rights to do all these. when things get serious, people might even go to ministry of manpower to lodge a complain.
now i totally understand yun's stand. the unfairness in conrad. according to aunty wendy, yun actually can sue wilson and dalland for what they did. but because it's wilson, i won't encorage yun to do so. not because of what, but he's however someone close to me before, why make him die? if things get ugly, i'm sure his working pass will be terminated and he'll be sent back to malaysia. however, yun doesn't allow me to speak for him anymore and that she's seriously doing something about this. ohwells.
you know what? i am so pissed that i can't sleep. i know people will say that every work place is like that and all these sorts. but because conrad meant so much to me that this is affecting me alot. i will miss the people there, as in my fellow casual labours. love the times when we ate, chatted and laughed together at work or during breaks. too bad they had lousy managers. ohwells, sometimes we must really learn how to let go.
ARGH.
but.. on a lighter note, i picked up one red packet today. it was on my table and i waited for quite some time, but no guests came and claim it back. thus, i just swept to my tray and bring to the back to open it up. 20 bucks! if it's the usual me in the past, i'll return to the manager or something, but today i kept the money myself. why should i give them when they'll be the one keeping the money if i did so? YAY. i earned that extra 20bucks! (:

Y i am so SICK AND TIRED of everything in conrad!
today, i've many many things to comment. i dun feel like blogging as usual about what i did and how's work or stuffs like that. in fact, i feel whiny, but another part of me feels that blog has "eyes". if you get what i mean, that is.
i am so so so sick of working in conrad. there were many things happening to us lately. screw up shits. more and more of us intend to get out of this hotel soon. li'e and i are pretty keen on leaving, best is by the following week. conrad is getting stricter, more stingy and unreasonable.
first of all, yun has been banned from working in conrad from today onwards. the reason i won't say here, but somehow i feel dalland's too much. i know i wasn't present when "everything" took place last night, but i still feel this unfairness in this whole saga. there's another person in that video as well, but why didn't she get reprimanded and yun did? as for the rest, i won't comment much as i wasn't there to witness. i know both dalland and wilson hated yun right from the beginning, but what they did to her is really overboard. ohwells, i believe yun couldn't care much about being banned. no biggy right, yun?
and today during our briefing, ramesh ticked all of us off, telling us all the hotel policies and all other grandmother stories. dalland even showed everyone "that" video to everyone on the big screen in grand salon. mark, ramesh and him were there nagging at all of us. after the video, dalland directed at li'e and i and asked if we've any questions regarding to this issue. i think he did that 'cause he knew yun is in our "clique". deep within me, i feel i'm actually fuming, but i swallowed everything down and kept quiet, as i've no say in this.
anyhows. ramesh was PMS-ey today. after work, we got our vouchers from him at 12.25am but he signed everyone 12am instead. what is this? free labour for 25minutes? not that we wanna be calculative with them, but come on loh, they want us to report 5 minutes earlier everytime to sign in and we didn't complain. when we're late, he complains. when we worked extra minutes, we can't complain. or worst, when we do speak up, he says we're calculative and started yelling at us like a bull. where's the fairness? so what if he's superior to us?
reality is cruel. society is full of unfairness. now i'm only a part timer, and there's so many shits. i wonder if i'm officially out in the society, what will be waiting for me? more shitness, i reckon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just had a loooooong talk with lu hua, and i really enjoy talking to him. i feel great to have such a good buddy to talk to everytime. we often updated each other about our "stories". and we talked about the above matter as well as this...
giving up someone isn't something i can control. it's the longing in my heart that i seriously can't control. yea, at least for me. it's not like i pointed a pistol at his head to talk to me, to be friend with me, to be nice to me and whatnot. i have my own ways to move on and sorts. i know i won't stick to not-wanting-to-give-up for my entire life, just that the time hasn't ripe. as the saying goes, to move on takes time. i know he meant well that he doesn't want me to give up the entire forest because of a tree, but what he's doing today is totally pointless. and i'm sorry to say, childish too.
i hated myself for being
all i wanna say is that, it's really pointless. delete me from your list for all you want, 'cause it's something i can't control as well. (: do what you want, show me the attitude for all you want, because i'm leaving earlier than you. you said to quit long time ago, yet till date you're still around. ohwells. thanks for your good intentions tho'. (:
i know what you did last
anyhows. any job lobangs, people????????

Y class jersey is here!
this morning i was uber early for school that i kept grumbling to li'e about it. BUT.. being early today isn't that bad afterall. tsk tsk! because i met a couple of nice people today. TEEHEEHEE! :x riight..
had PI in the morning, which as usual, we had a quiz based on last week's movie and a team case discussion. this week's discussion with my group members was so much better, because we started to talk more at ease. we've to present our discussion at the end too, which i presented the easier part, whereas ben kong and ben cheong presented the other parts. haha! after PI, we had QLA and we did tuturial 2 which i didn't really paid attention.
lessons ended at 1pm today. i intended to skip the 4pm-6pm PI movie screening, remember? yay, went to clementi food market for lunch together with yun and froggie. went back school at 3ish to wait for li'e to finish school, before taking 61 to queensway shopping centre. on the way there, we received a phone call telling us that the movie screened today has been changed to shall we dance?, instead of the initial the bourne supremacy. damn! guess han de will have to find the show again, and we'll watch it. that's what a pirate should do, no? :x
li'e and i reached queensway at 4ish, and we went to collect our class jerseys. WOOHOO! all's ready and we'll give it to the rest on monday. tho' mine is a tad too big for me, but it's still nice lah. =D
front.
back.
after collecting and paying the balance of our jerseys, li'e and i walked over to ikea. haha, we just loved shopping over there! we always got full of ideas as of how to change the way our room looked, or how we want our future home to look like in future. haha, we had so much fun role playing lah. tsktsk! we even settled down at the ikea restaurant for a sumptuous meal. we ordered a plate of pasta, some chicken wing and the must-not-miss swedish meatballs, and we shared. it's great, ya'll know? XD
drool for all you want! =D~
shopped more before leaving at 7ish. we parted at the junction and i took 855 home. i'm beat. and yay, it's public holiday tomorrow, but aww, there's work still. :/
ice skating still on tomorrow? hmm.
it's been 7 months without you...
