on to normal blogginggg. thanks to 602Tab and my st-ness to neglect to save my data once in awhile, i lost all of it!
-thunderous applause-
yea..i didn't panic, i didn't breakdown and cry, i didn't kneel down and offer tea and ask for forgiveness. i didn't do anything. except tear my hair out whilst banging my head against the table, scolding myself on how stupid i can get to not save my data. and i really must say, experience IS experience. just when i slipped into sian mode (mind you, it is very very thorough. i am as good as a marble sotong when i'm sian), Steven told me the most obvious next step that i until now still can't believe i didn't think of it. listen to all my calls la. i was so seh~ at tt time tt i was already prepared to redo the whole thing alr..if Claudia can wait for me la ): anyway, i didn't finish listening to all my calls la. how can i possibly complete one whole day's work in less than two hours. especially since i'm not yuanting incredible. wahaha. sigh. gotta finish on monday. tmr! rahh.

was challenged to bishi bashi by the ever-so-enthu uncle senggg. k la..not uncle..his name is koksheng k..dun call him anything else! and i lost terribly..boohoohoo. haha, but can u blame me. i step into an arcade like once in dunno how many months. to really play. ya, like i didn't even know the positions of the coloured buttons? now i do la. it's red, green, blue if i'm not wrong? hehe.

hao wu liao! i'm showhanding all the emoticons i have with saywee now. goodness. and to think we were both on the brink of depression only yesterday. bu ke si yi. haha but still..muz thank him agn. thank you!

and since i thanked him, i muz thank my ever so sweet jeremy kiu, shuqin, cherie and teresa..for making me feel so much better. i have friends to die for!

normal blogging! normal blogging! what on earth happened to my normal blogging. truth is, i dun blog regularly and i forget abt all the exciting stuff la. yes, it's all my fault. but i really very tired after work ma. yea..the eternal reason for not doing something. fatigue. the following sentence goes out to myself. fatigue very big deal meh?! compare yourself to those who went to the one-day shoe sale at suntec convention hall on may28th, the one with up to 70% off.

i sense panic in my female readers. "how come we didn't know?" you must be asking. apparently i was told that it's this corporate circular la. only ppl in some offices will know, i guess? but i may be wrong. since i didn't go, and didn't see if half the world was really there. do not be too depressed though, if u weren't there..since the gss is here anyway. i dun see any difference la. in the shop tt i patronise. like fox is having it's birthday sale. how timely rite. one less sale period. and bum equip had it's 20% storewide off a long time ago. it's just the Singapore culture i guess..sales anywhere, anytime.

ok, i will blog more frequently. right now, my cough is back. greatttt.

ラベル: spontaneous rant

whee..i love blended apple juice..

and i've been in time to catch yin cha yang cuo's ending songs these few nights..not entirely by intention though..last night was cos i couldn't sleep. but can you blame me?? both are my favourite songs leh! hehe..mad already..

kiu and yc both booked/booking out tdy! tian ah..and i still have to work tmr..sob..

wah..my number of calls just keep dropping these few days wor..guess it's cos i keep slacking. hmm..and this lady hung up on me even before i stated my business..well done..

damn!! i just realised i forgot to sign in and out tdy..argh..so i didn't get to practise my new signature..haha..inspired by the very stylish NUS centennial logo. speaking of which, i just went to check the business school tea session invitation and realised it's today, and not sunday as i thought..haha. whatever..never intended to go.

gosh..this is a very spontaneous blog entry..i acty just typed and typed what's in my mind right now..even the initial idea to blog was cos of faye's dress..i'm really different tdy..

phone's connected to float's mobile agent now, agn! wanted to upload mp3s to phone but not really successful..cos both the phone and the program will just hang when msgs are coming in. ya..so i can neither receive the song nor read the msg..yep..so i'm waiting for later..when i'm sure no one's msging alr.. :)

had a call from this far east org lady abt this temp recep job tt i applied for..and did sthg which i normally wun do. i interrupted her in the middle of her speech and just asked what the rate was..since tt's all i really care abt. aft she replied me i told her i'm not interested. in the past i'd think tt's really damn rude and everything..but after working at a outbound call centre for so long, i realised..come on..this is the real world. everyone's asking for efficiency. straightforwardness. if you're not interested, just say so directly and stop wasting each other's time. yea and she sounded what i'd have sounded had the same thing happened to me. so she most prob oso felt what i would have felt. it's, unmistakably, relief. damn i sound like the typical unfeeling exec..getting scolded cb by temp staff..haha..

hmm..seems like phone has quietened down? yay i'll start transferring..whee..

ラベル: spontaneous rant

sigh..now that i see the numerous TJ students at bedok and tampines, i wonder if anyone had ever saw me in the past and sighed a sigh of envy. but i'm not saying studying's worth envying though. just that the afterschool hours look so carefree, so early, and so..well..happy! why have i never realised that man. quite timely to start missing JC now i guess. after all, 5 months of lowly paid jobs and uni in 2 months. and sec sch. the ending school at 3pm, going out for lunch, window shopping, laughing at silly displays, mugging distractedly. man.

i'm so ungrateful. i told myself i'd thank all those who wished me happy birthday in one way or another. in order, thanks to Adeline, Yang Chong, Cherie, Pei Shin, Shuqin, Teresa, Er ge, Ching Lok, Christopher, Melvin, Gerard, Grace, Tsz Shan, Shijia, Jia Min, Hui Xiu, Shiwei, Kenny, Zheng Wei, Charles(!!!), Carmen, Jun Yuan, Chun Ping, Ying Chun, Kok Sheng, Yanfang and Mei Qi! AND i got my Levi's and Fox vouchers, whee! and many hugs and kisses, heehee. and signs that ppl rmb, as shown above. Cherie even had a pink sign bought (but not given). what a nice bday :)

i love my lycra Fox 3/4 sleeved top! it says Vintage 72! hehe. kind Mr Kiu gave me the reason to buy it since he POURED 3/4 GLASS OF COKE ONTO ME, thank you very much. had half a mind to make him pay..but after recalling the horror stories of how costly equipment can get, i thought i better not. haha. that was in Pizza Hut on Saturday, where Kenny, Shuqin, Kiu and I had our long-lost htg outing! hehe. and if circumstances permit, we're gna watch Star Wars this wkend! though it's quite a slim hope. unless we watch at like 4:30am or sthg.

read a friend's blog, and found out more things. i've really really lost touch. i've always said i hate to lose contact..but the fact is..i always do. sigh..maybe i just don't try hard enough..as with all things.

nothing else to blog abt, i have. destroy the sith, we must.

update at 2:38pm: i thot this entry was gone and i was hopping mad k! cos the browser just closed by itself. haha, diaryland still triumphs over blogspot!

anyway, since i'm blogging agn, might as well blog more.

Haw Rer, my newfound intern colleague, lent me his SonyEricsson cable! and i was happily transferring my stuff into the FMA, which stands for Float's Mobile Agent. thanks float! Kok Sheng just called me and told me he wants to buy K700i too! alamak..now Jun Yuan, him and i all want the same phone! maybe we could all go together to some shop and get some bulk discount, haha.

kiu's field camp starts today! sobsob..poor guy will be back on thurs..he mentioned sthg abt digging. trenches? sigh. poor nsfs! anyway, cya on sat.

my media player stopped and resumed playing by itself after about 2 minutes! and i think it's cos THIS browser suddenly appeared. it can't be happening! it can't be happening!

ok, tata. for real.

ラベル: spontaneous rant

bah. the above. was just. a very exaggerated version of what i really feel. i'm not starving. i'm buying from Fox Women every other week. i exceed my hp subscription. i go online more than 20 hours a week. i take midnight cab. and i call myself poor? no way. i'm just spending away my money, sigh. but at least it gives me pleasure! heehee. yea but who doesn't wish for more rite. just a wish won't kill. tell me you don't want a digicam. it's highly impossible. it's not wrong to wish..but it's wrong to lose your dignity. that's the way things are. less well-off ppl simply wait longer for things. i will never complain being poor, as it's not an acquired attribute. ppl who say they're poor have no backbone at all. it's as if being poor is wrong. i just wait, man.

jj's mu nai yi is the theme song for yin cha yang cuo, the new channel8 9pm drama serial! but lyrics have changed abit. and the title's not really mu nai yi i think. it's stil nice though! ehes. was humming along and tilting my head in rhythm when the advert was playing. how heartwarming! to finally have a decent local theme song. jing zhong ren's was..ok. but weird somehow. the rest are..hiya..hk dramas.

steven didn't come tdy, haha. but we didn't slack as much as we could. see! we're employees of conscience. towards the end of the day, kerin and sabah were not in sight too. wahaha. heavenly. not that we're hyrocites or anything, but it's still not very good to get them into trouble for our actions rite. if they dun see, den they're safe as well..haha.

watched laogong's Everybody Has Secrets finally, on Sunday..at kiu's hse. the show was quite crappy la..but laogong made it all worthwhile, aww. for kiu, if you ever read this, HE'S NOT! A! CASANOVA! HUMPH! he's my laogong and he was just acting! besides, it's not his fault anyway, that the three sisters all fall for him. he's exuding charm like nobody's business can. who wouldn't melt seeing him. i gushed and gushed and gushed like how i would gush if i saw my laogong anywhere. aww. i'm melting agn..just thinking abt it. everybody has secrets! go catch it!

haha, the above was also, an exaggeration of what really happened. only gushed at the beginning la, when he made his first appearance. towards the end i was more of tearing the pillow apart. ahh nvm. i get quite emotional over korean shows, must uds. haha. just see how i watch All In mannn. concentrate until cannot concentrate further. hahaha.

my blog is really quite a poor telltale of my real life. as with majority of blogs. not that i'm afraid of losing my privacy here, like only how many ppl acty read here anyway. more like the single reason why you can't tell your friend why you're angry, is because the cause precisely, is your friend. pls don't get me wrong, i do not hold grievances deep enough to plan a revenge or render you perpetually on my blacklist. i can't remain angry for long anyway. i never succeed. i'm just saying, i'm also human and though i've almost never lost my temper at any of my friends, i do get angry at some rare instances when i can't help it. cos i'm a girl. who gets petty and jealous and has pms. just to assure you all, these are really RARE INSTANCES. yup..dun start suspecting if i'm angry whenever i dun talk or smile or anything. cos haha, YOU ALL CAN NEVER TELL. wahaha. ya seriously, just wanna share a side of me that erm..i've never revealed! hehe. triggered by Everybody Has Secrets.

yea, and there're always some things only to be found out, and never be told! thru blogs anyway. so all my close friends, don't worry! you all probably have known what you're supposed to!

the blogging fever always burns!

ラベル: spontaneous rant

argh jing zhong ren has sucha stupid ending. a bloody waste of time. poor fann wong and wang tiancai. from the legendary zai jian ying guang lan to THAT. gosh. WHEN I BECOME A PRODUCER (haha i hear this line too many times nowadays..starting to get to me now) i will import laogong over and erm..act as his female lead! haha.

ah well, realised i never mentioned my birthday. it was even more normal than a normal day, haha. which is what it's supposed to be, just another day. except it's the start of my favourite age to be. but whatever. i've another..351 days to remember it! hehe.

friday the 13th! yesterday. was really quite unlucky leh. my dept manager saw me with my tree can! erm, it's acty just a very long branch made from rolls and rolls of paper. it's VERY LONG. it can touch the ceiling. but ya.. -weeps- i should have heeded kerin's warning. now i have to think of how to give her a black face back. anyway, in my line, we really talk to all sorts of ppl and hear all kinds of background noise. the line we hear most often would be 'i'm at a meeting right now', but the background noise is sthg else altogether. ahaha. once i called this home number and was asked to wait. and F.I.R.'s wo men de ai was playing! and cos i was made to wait for so long, i listened to almost the whole song.

speaking of listening, i had call evaluation ytd! scaaary. imagine! being in a room with your conversation playing. goosebumps! but i peeped..and saw i got 88%..which is not a bad score rite? hehe. yea..they said my diction was good, i was clear, i sounded quite confident..but i had to sound warmer. quite hard i must say! i'm literally damn cold when i work..aircon's damn strong ya..dun think anyone has seen me without jacket during working hours. speaking of which, my jacket's very big haha. it's almost as long as my skirt lor. i'm always doing such bu zi liang li stuff. my jacket. my bag. my ring. arr whatever.

my beloved levi's is gna make its maiden voyage tdy! gna go bugis v with st1, then kingdom of heaven with ad at cathay! good ol' cathay! no price increase..muacks! yay..good nick, indeed cherie! the rain has stopped!

oooh. cherie and i have been reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven, and we finished it at abt the same time too i think. haha, read her blog and u learn something new! by the way, it's a very nice book. haha, who'd i meet in heaven? i mean, if i do la. hope i meet my sisters! and htg! oops they'll have to make an exception for me..i gotta meet 9 people! oh, if i've to meet my family too, it'll be 12 people! ohman. i might as well meet people i never knew. like maybe, the person who made my baobei. or my levi's. :D :D

this is a Very, Early, entry. i gtg have my breakfast now! ciao..

ラベル: spontaneous rant

AND! i must thank chan eng! and probably her miss wang too. for coming up with such brilliant html. haha, of cos it's nothing like hers now, but the concept was borrowed! whee :D
