ok..i stopped at the day where i finished reading HBP. the next day, which is wednesday, was spent mostly watching stuff..well..again. i can't seem to finish watching them, haha. i figured i'd need to sleep more and wakeup as late as possible since i'd be working 6-2. so i tried to take a nap..which is just fitful rest.

so the time comes to make my way to noodle house! without the evil shoes this time. i was abit later than told..but i am actually ridiculously early. lisa said i should reach around 5:30 cos i need to collect the tee to change and setup the place and everything. so i arrived at around 5:40, which is later than told..but ken-san wasn't there yet..and he's supposed to give me the tee! argh. so the aftn chefs started to chat with me to relieve my boredom..and it slowly evolved to a topic abt keeping spare tyres (extra boyfriends) in times of emergency, or even in peace! haha, he tried to convince me to buy his theory abt the practicality of spare tyres. good thing he's not in my shift! he went home soon after that. anyway, it's quite tough trying to learn all the japanese names on the menu like, within a few hours. but slowly learn i guess. they have spirited away! the movie, i mean. i wished i could stand there and watch though. standing is a big problem. i wasn't sure of exactly when and where i can sit..ya..so i kinda stood for 5 hours straight? that largely explains my fatigue. and the major blunders were failing to take down the delivery address (cos i didn't know it was a delivery order), and for slamming the tables when i kept them..but hey..they're really heavy! ya..in summary i was quite blur and pebblesy..which means i wasn't sure of what to do most of the time. okay..that's thursday.

yesterday morning ..went to wendy's office to let her have a look at a completed questionnaire (u know, my first job)..yup..and i made this crazy move to take 608 home..from robinson road. like wow, that's twice the time. and fare too, i think. it's a really nice ride. literally a ride down memory lane. all the places it passes by strings the memories..places i used to haunt in sec sch, jc and post-jc..obviously robinson road is where i worked..then it goes to lau pa sat, where htg used to have afew gatherings..then it passes by esplanade and vch, where all the concerts i attended and performed were held..then it's suntec, another htg lao di fang..then kallang theatre and national stadium, the dhs days..it goes down mountbatten road, where a turn would show dhs..and down katong, where i sometimes pass by to go home..parkway and ecp, where dear and i used to go..upper east coast road and woo mon chew road, hosting the occasional aftn pigging out sessions at gelare..and finally tj. it's quite fun acty..taking a bus u've never taken before and recalling all the stuff that happened all these years..like a memory lane/route. maybe everyone should try to find their own memory bus too..u know..a bus that passes by all the major limelights of your life..haha..abit dramatic to put it this way but yea..let's just say i'm glad i took that bus home..

so today i wokeup at the time i'm supposed to reach cs AND meet cuiying. at the cs busstop. how susan-mayer! (ok not really..since trouble always finds susan. but just an analogy.) luckily it's all solved cos i called and asked to attend the 2nd session. and how coincidental, cuiying wokeup late as well! by a good 1.5 hours! yay so attended the briefing, did afew trouble-pointing-out..since it wasn't exactly troubleshooting..still figuring out the how-to. oh i forgot to mention. this is my third job! exciting rite. as a surveyor, once agn! i hope i turn out patient, and understanding, and not to "take it personally", "it" being mean stuff that mean people say as a result of their intrinsic nature, not on purpose. well OBVIOUSLY if they DIDN'T MEAN IT we won't take it personally. la. -yulu style- (sorry, i just love her bitchiness to bits.)

oops, digressed..we were dismissed one hour early..yay! had a late lunch/early dinner at can A mac..with shuwan and chinchin..and i can confidently say the teppanyaki burger is nice! wow, such a long time since a quality burger appeared. a minor point here..they try to cheat ppl agn! dun take the green tea..cos it's $0.30 more than the normal coke/sprite (might be more in outside macs)..ya..unless u happen to acty..u know..LIKE green tea. ok..look..neutral words used..no discrimination against ppl who like green tea! ntu mac has no mayonnaise! and that pisses me off.

so after dinch (lunner?) we walked back to their room to pick up some stuff before going home. and that resulted in a good 2 hours of conversation!

took the bus and train back with shuwan..had a nice time chatting agn.. (:

bought seventeen at bedok mrt..for no good reason..then stopped by this fashion where i found this really good buy. haha. i think i might be into a little lace lately? it might have something to do with the shoes i bought. the evil, vain shoes. "wicked." - fred and george weasley. i can't wait man! really!

ラベル: groundshaking discovery, juicy update, spontaneous rant

let me start from the beginning!

after exams we had a mini celebration at fish and co! u know, to pamper ourselves abit.

then we headed to far east to shopppp! on 502 express, or the lack of it! depends on your luck with the bus driver/traffic i guess. haha, we being ade, me, yanxuan, shuwan and chinchin..i'm not sure if that's how you spell it but! far east is still pretty much the same..but i'm not! i fought impulsive buying..haha. i'm proud of myself! anyway, i'm not qualified to be a shopper. cos we comb areas too fast! we being me and ade(from now on i shall differentiate ad and ade..so we can all know who i'm talking abt..AD is adeline wong wen XIA and ade is adeline ong (:) <- wow! i just realised i made a double-faced smiley! haha.

anyway after that ade left and the 4 of us went on a horrifying journey to witness the exorcism of emily rose. as proof that we had no idea what we'd become in the 2 hours ahead then, we shared a foot-long subway teriyaki chicken sandwich, 2 cookies and a kiwi strawberry snapple. an all too cheerful dinner! exorcism is certainly not. for. the weakhearted. trust me. cos i was the only one who watched the whole thing i think, haha..i lost count of how many times i jumped though..okay..i slid down my seat abit but that's all..i watched the whole thing! now that's not something many girls can beat. at least among the 4 of us. or from timothy's testimonial. haha. anyway! it's a scary but nice horror film..i can't understand why it's pg though..it scares the hell out of anyone..i mean..aren't ratings supposed to provide a hint abt what it's be all abt? but i guess they tried their best. and maybe, judging by the trembling mass emptying the cinema everytime, they'd change their minds.

i saw sly for the second time! and he is still walking JUST AS FAST. with olinda this time. it's so hard not to notice them, haha. with the glittery jackets and spiked hair. and how unlucky to go to lido, only to run into the trembling crowd who'd just been thru a traumatic ordeal! amazing how anyone could take a picture with them with such shaky limbs.

so that's..monday. yup. yesterday was..extreme. i spent abt 5 to 6 hours just on saw 2 and desperate housewives. after which i was so exhausted i almost fell asleep..but luckily dear called! and i'm glad he didn't sound too bad..in fact i felt quite bad that i had to cut short a conversation at far east the other day cos it's not right to ignore my frens and far east is quite noisy by itself. sorry!

oh..where was i. hmm..at night i went to stand-in a tuition for dear..it's my dad's fren's son. yup. a 2.5hr tuition. cos my dad didn't look too ready to leave till like 11? haha..poor boy. yup..that's all..just chatted with him on msn..

reached home..and finished the remaining 100-odd pages of Half-Blood Prince..left over from pre-exam. i almost cried, like everyone who has read the book. HOW CAN HE DIE? AND HOW COULD HE KILL HIM? argh..everything just built on the grief man. the whole process..the breaking of the news..everyone's reaction..the funeral..harry's decisions..sigh..i really don't know how the seventh book will be like. there's no one left to die already. unless..she decides to do sthg to ron and hermione. now that would cause a global outrage. went to bed a little more depressed than before reading the book..

wokeup..went for a briefing abt my first job..it's a door-to-door survey thingy..took more than an hour..not brief at all..anyway, the point is i went back to my first ever temp job area..robinson road..sigh..all the memories at cpf..lunches at amoy, at tg pagar plaza, at maxwell, even went to orchard once..with the gang, with elizabeth, with edmund, with chan eng, with kenny..oh well..somehow i rmbed this job the most, even though it was not the most recent or the longest. sometimes i'd rmb little details abt the past few months..and it takes awhile to recall where it happened..and as it turned out..everytime it's the crazy stuff we do at cpf..really. the gossiping..the ridiculous stocktaking..the many moments at the carpark, at the lobby, wearing skirts and pushing trollies heavier than us, filling in the multi-coloured forms with the same names. oops, i digress!

after the briefing i'm supposed to reach noodle house ken at 2..so i went to shop at far east. yes i know. again. well, it's to prove if the theory abt impulsive buying stands! see, it states that if after 2 days the desire to buy the item is still there then it's not impulsive buying. ya so that day it was an impulsive thought..cos i decided i don't want it as much. so i walked around..and started looking for shoes..and settled on shiny pointed covered shoes eventually..went to check out prices around a few shops..and i bought this croc skin patterned one! from anna nucci. says it's from italy. shrugs. it's shiny, and pointed, and a tad too formal for my jeans and polo, but heck. i just wore it on the spot. WHAT A MISTAKE. i was running late for noodle house ken for goodness' sake and i had to hobble my way thru the whole of orchard road! i acty only walked until cuppage plaza after 20 mins? from far east..that's how slow! with red toes and 2 blisters, no less! i guess everyone goes thru the same ordeal with new shoes. in the name of vanity, ah. i stare at the night sky in helplessness. i took a desperate housewives test, and i'm susan mayer. i'm beginning to believe it.

so i changed shoes in a toilet at cuppage. since i was kinda lost anyway. i'm totally forgetful, and directionless. noodle house ken is supposed to be beside ah meng cafe, which i've been to! at 2am though. i always maintain my stand that surroundings look different during the day and night. i didn't know where to go, so i went out the nearest exit..and as it turns out, it's just across the road! and i was right..ah meng cafe looked totally different from that night. anyway, lisa said i could start work tmr! yippee! (: i just hope i won't be too tired..

so now i'm here typing this..a very very long entry with only words..not even a hyperlink to certain things i've mentioned..but well..everyone's still having exams..dun wanna distract anyone too much :p

have i mentioned my exams are over?

ラベル: juicy update, spontaneous rant

so! how do u blog about nothing? u can't, rite..so let's blog abt other things! the main happy things that happened tdy were that i'm more of a pi rate by 2 movies and i got to watch the repeated jie da huan xi which i didn't watch in the past..these brought me a smile at least (: yeah yeah don't even come telling me abt copyrights i paid for and watched those movies before okayyy.

hmm, AND i recovered from a teeny weeny setback last night thanks to junyuan and shiwei..'.' ranting helps. as do getting to know the disparing differences between men and women..

was reading oscar wilde's quotes just now..and he's really this sarcastic but hilarious guy..quite bhb too. my personal favourite:
How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being?
haha..i wonder if it can be applied to men too.

and jolin rocks! for creating the phenomenon of sweeping the entire long hu bang home. hahaha. it's quite funny, if u think abt it carefully. i was laughing like mad.

alllllright. back to books. bye! all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to all the best to...woo..can it ever end?

1. blog more regularly. people tend to check back more often if they're sure the blog's pretty much updated. regular readers can look forward to new entertainment everyday while sneaking a break during project time and not so regular ones can well, look forward to alotof new stuff when they DO check, in an attempt to you know, "know how you're doing".

2. blog less vaguely. quite a frustrating experience to read a whole entry and have the nagging thought at the back of the mind about whether the whole bitching was about you. reduce self-censorship! go private if you're afraid of offending somebody. or better, offend them if you must. i mean, blogging's all about being able to support your stand, ain't it?

3. have a YEEEE-HAH!! revamp. to put yourself to the layout challenge as well as provide positive externalities to the world wide web. if it's that good, people might even consider pirating it! that's quite cool.

4. well, think before you blog. there is a reason why your blog's valueless, mysteriously along with other diaryland blogs. it's not worth a read if it's only about yourself, yourself and yourself. try adding in some serious food for thought.

cool! pre-exam spontaneity, yet agn. happens EVERY YEAR.

ラベル: spontaneous rant

exams.

ulcer.

mugging.

wallaby.

slow downloads.

don't all these deserve a big big boohoo?

anyway, between my last post and now..alot has happened, but not much has changed. i almost wrote it the other way round, just that it all hasn't sunk in yet, and now i'm pondering which case it is. but anyway, having a new post-exam activity pop up in your head anytime is sad, cos the curbing is so hard! boohoo. anyway, i've been leading some extremely no-lifey days this week. sleep, eat, mug, doze off, slack, panic etc. to study? or to live with less guilt. i can't decide!

lastly, i know my decision to stay home was just right no matter how. i'd have died of depression otherwise i think. studying in ntu will make u wanna die!

i so wanna go for dinner with my sisters..really miss them very much. the last meeting was the movie outing for charlie and the chocolate factory i think..gosh..how many months already??

and i wanna work at income agn..with the original bunch i worked with. i know it sounds damn weird coming out at a time like this but yea..the culture there rocks.

happy deeparaya!
