where's the mint ?!

Life is still the same ever since the day I came back. I haven gotten any permernant job as they people are desperately holding on to them to ensure their big bonus at the end of the year (well at least that's the reason that I assume as to why I'm still jobless). I do have a part-time job thou, despite being a cheap labour one. Initially I did it because ..... 1.passion, 2.flexibility of quitting whenever i want. But right now, I feel like moving on ... perhaps it's just the stress of getting a decent job that makes me wonder why am I still with this lame job, when all my hardwork is simply not being recognised? Wells, for being a responsible soul and accounting to some of my friends, I shall stay on to help till they are 'stable' or until I get my job!

It's officially 1-month since I have been back here in SG. My mindset is still the same. I am constantly thinking about whether if it's really possible to work overseas, like a internship in USA? Even herman commented that doing a internship/ job at NZ would be easy as their goverment seems to be attracting Singaporeans over. I'm still keeping my options open, so who knows I might do something crazy one day .......... ..........

Till then, Jobstreet and Jobscentral are my friends :')

2010-10-16T07:21:00.000-07:00

I'm in Singapore !!!!!!!!!!

Haven been blogging since I came back. Of course there's lots of settling to be done, unpacking of stuff, and most importantly find a job! It has been 1 week ... but no luck so far :( Well, everyone says that we are in the wrong industry. That's right! It's a industry that you have to work really hard, 10X the work of other industry, but yet you get a super low salary. Oh well, that's my life ... I choosed it, so I got to face it!

That aside .. coming back to Singapore is really tough for me. I still miss everything there, especially my beloved friends, and I know I still talked alot about them, pardon me please! Moreover, everything back there is so carefree. I go to the mall, the beach, the streets or just chill out at my home backyard as and when I like it. No one would yell at me to do stuff, and I know there's nothing waiting or bothering me .... Life in SG is completely different! The stress of finding a job is already killing me, not to mention having to deal with my parents all the time. Well at least I have a part time job right now, so it's gonna finance me abit ... Wish me luck, and hopefully my phone will ring soon for an interview please !!!!!!!!

The week passed by so quickly that I almost can't remember what I did. We spend 3 full days building up all the game stands. It's amazing how these pieces of wooden planks get fitted together to form the whole game stand that is actually stable enough to be stand on. All our stand are almost done, and all we are left is the stocking of the games. It's surprising that we managed to get the stuff done with the situation between the Bulgarians and Americans going on. There has been alot of yelling and pissing off kind of stuff. It does annoy me at times, as I figured that people should just shut up, and do whatever they are told to do rather than bitching about it. It's even more amusing that people bigger in size than me can't carry carton boxes and complains about it being heavy, then goes around telling people that I'm so small in size and I should'nt be carry all the stuff. Hahaha ... it's really hilarious. So what if I'm that only small little asian girl out there, I can accomplish much more stuff than you girls, so don't ever doubt me.

Tomorrow is the big day where the fair would actually open !!!! We had a nice dinner tonight, I guess as a 'Thank You' dinner .. before we all started working our ass off from tomorrow onwards. The food and service was awesome. Most importantly it was paid for by our boss, so of course we got to order anything we wanted including liquors, wahahaha! I bet the bill cost a huge bomb ... opps .... :)

Our nice and cute server that even did an extra large sundae for us .... nice! :')

I just realised i haven posted pictures in my bloggy for a long long time ...........................................

2010-09-21T16:07:00.000-07:00

It finally took me 4.5 months to come to the realization that work are'nt that fun without all your friends around. This time, I'm really ready to go back home, to get back to my normal life ... drink bubble tea, chat on the phone for hours gossiping about someone, or simply hanging out with my beloved friends. I would say my time here in USA is awesome. I did have a fun time, but I did get hurt at times when people does nasty stuff to you. Nonetheless it was an experience for me to learn whether anot i did enjoy or get hurt ... ...

2 weeks of hard work in Bloomsburg, and I'm going back to Singapore. It has only be gone for 2 days, and I'm seriously going nuts?! I really don't know when I can't take it and I might just yell at someone. The work here is indeed hardwork, but I'm a workaholic so it does not matter to me. It is the people around me that is seriously driving me crazy. There's basically a bunch of Bulgarians and Macedonians (they speak almost similar language), and of course a whole bunch of Americans out there. I'm pretty close with one of the Bulgarians girl whom I have work with, and was my roommate for the past 2 weeks. But it totally pisses me off when she goes on and on with her friends in their own language, while I'm the only dumb ass asian among them. I have told them that I can't understand any of them if they don't speak English, and there's no way I can work. They did apologise to me now when they speak their language. But what I want is not apologies, but simply to speak in a language that I can understand. Worse still, not only I have to deal with this at work, 2 of the Bulgarians girls are in the same room as me and their conversations continue on in the room. This is freaking irritating, but I seriously don't wish to get into a fight. Therefore, I simply plug in my earphones, and listen to my own songs.

I wish my group of friends were here with me. At least with the Singaporeans, even though we are chinese, we do the minimum respect to the rest by speaking in English !!!!!!! This 2 weeks is gonna end soon I hope ... I really miss my lovely home right now :/ ............................................. and i love my SG friends .............................................................. :')

2010-09-09T17:58:00.000-07:00

It has almost been one week since I came back to seaside. Life is'nt the same anymore. I was really sad that I could'nt go back to work (even though we all complained about how sucky work is, it's still the place that we have the most fun with all the friends around). There was alot of goodbye. I came to realized that saying goodbye to those leaving you is actually more difficult than you saying gooodbye when you are leaving yourself. Even though I have my dislike and like about some of the co-workers, we have actually became so closed together after staying together for 3 months.

I visit the work place the very last night before the actual shut down ... the night was really quiet. Finally the time came, and everyone was closing down the place, saying that it would be the last time that they will be doing it. I wished I could be part of it, but I could'nt .. I jus stood beside to watch. We went to the club nearby, and party for the last time. This time round ... I really wanted to get drunk. For some reason, I remained really sober after 3 drinks .... oh wells! As time passed by ... it was time ... time for those leaving to go home to clean up and pack up their stuff. I continued to visit them, and I did'nt go back to my new home for 3 whole nights. Even if I did went home, I sneak out ... One by one, I send them off. Now the whole apartment that was once filled with laughs, is dark and quiet ...

Things have changed too. I have 1 more week plus before going to job fair. Gonna do my own stuff, hang out around ............... Till then, I will see if my choice was right :')

2010-09-04T22:52:00.000-07:00

As I write this post now ... it's the beginning of my adventure TWO at seaside heights. My trip with my mum and brother ended, and I just send them off to their flight a few minutes ago. I kind of felt sad that I won't be seeing them for another 1 month. But on the happier side, I'm glad that my mum finally had the chance to visit US. Even though she was'nt feeling really well throughout the trip, but I could see that she enjoyed herself, and got the chance to do outlet shopping !!

So right now, I'm sitting at the airport all alone, waiting for my flight back to New Jersey, which is 7 hours away .... I'm excited, but yet scared. For some reason that I dunno why. Perhaps I don't know what to expect at the other side and I'm worried that something bad would happen. Oh wells it's an adventure for me ... so let's see what happens next :)

2010-08-27T01:06:00.000-07:00

I finally met up with my mum and brother in USA. Even though as excited I wanna be, I did'nt really had that feeling. I'm pretty sure that I have gotten used to my independent lifestyle in USA, doing all the things I want, making my own choices, without anyone controlling me. I'm dread my mum nagging at me once again. Asking me about everything I do. All right, I know I'm really selfish .....

Then again, 3 days of travelling and I'm already so stress up. I was the one who had to plan the whole itenary, and I'm so freaking afraid that I will screw things up. I am the one that has to navigate through the whole city. I am the one that basically has to make a decision on everything, which can go on from food to shopping to sight seeing. I have to pack all the luggages, making sure everything is taken. Worse still, as I come online every night to settle stuff and book stuff, all my mum want is to use my laptop to watch her drama online! Then as I go online to do my stuff, such as checking of emails and facebook, my mum simply sits beside me and look at everything i do online. When it comes to personal messages that my friend sends, she starts asking about who is this person and that. Seriously this is driving me nuts .......

Wells, I still got to treasure the time I have here. So i shall look on the bright side and have a happy trip. I'm really trying to, because I'm sooooo freaking missing all my friends back in NEw Jersey, and I wish to get my ass back there soon :)

2010-08-24T06:46:00.000-07:00

This last week has been madness. I decided to stay, but some problems came up which kind of did'nt allowed me to stay. I knew there was nothing I could do, and I was all sad at my last day at work. I tried to look happy, but those who knew me really know that I want to stay. I prepared myself, telling myself I have to repack my whole baggage, and get my ass out of New Jersey the very next day ... ...

Then, my boss insisted that I should stay and nothing is going go wrong. After much thought, I really could'nt resist it anymore, and so I changed my mind to stay for another month. I know this is a huge risk that I'm taking, and nobody would really know what would happen. I guessed I have developed a really good friendship with my boss and a couple of other students, and there was no way that I would leave (even though I know I have to leave eventually).

Oh wells, as I write this post, I'm sitting at Newark Airport waiting for my flight to San Francisco to meet my mum and brother. I know I will be missed at New Jersey, but I'm happy because I will go back to them in 2 weeks time. For the time being, I will enjoy my trip :)

Seriously .............. I'm really scared that something will happen ... but I'm happy to stay here a little longer and that's a risk I choosed :/

2010-08-19T23:55:00.000-07:00

I made my mind to stay ... yes i will be staying in the USA for another 1 more month.

So what actually happened? I was really prepared to leave my work place seaside heights in another week when my boss suddenly asked me why don't I stay. I told him I can't because of all the travel plans I made with my parents, but I really wanted to stay if I could. He told me that I can always return back to seaside heights after I'm done travelling with my parent ... and so I thought about it for really long. More importantly, he offered me a post to help him out with a fair in late Sept to Oct.

In this fair which last 2 weeks, they bring all the games over to Pittsburgh, build up the games in the first week, and run the games in the second week. I did'nt really think it was a big deal. But i soon found out that only selected people get chosen to go on this fair to work with the managers, and I should be glad that I got selected (partially because of my english and because i work like a slave for them). One of the girls told me Pittsburgh is really nice, and it's gonna be a beautiful experience. Furthermorem I had nothing holding me back in Singapore, so why not stay? That was how I made my decision to extend my stay in USA for 1 more month !!!!!!!!!

I really hope this is not a wrong decision. Need to get all my flights rearranged and settled, and I hope everything goes out well :)

2010-08-17T23:56:00.000-07:00

What if i were to extend my stay in USA ?
I bet everyone is Singapore will try all means to stop me.

But I'm really tempted to do so ... ...
Someone said that I'm escaping from reality ... am I really ?!

I'm lost !!!
I gave myself another 24 hours to make a decision.
By tomorrow at 11.59pm, I should have a answer to that.

2010-08-08T23:42:00.000-07:00

2 more weeks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sad or happy ??? ... i really don't know :/

Everything is pretty much back to normal. Still i'm stuck in my ball stand, but i'm beginning to learn how to love the stand rather than hating it and making myself so miserable all day long. My plan for the last 2 weeks ....

Delaware Outlet Shopping - tomorrow !!!!!!!!!
Philadelphia - next week
Party party party !!!!!!!!!!

and prolly my last dinner with all the people before i leave :)

2010-08-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

I have been working alot !!!!!!!!!!!! Earning all the money I can before I return to work.

Things have changed greatly at work. There have been lots of cases of missing money recently at the games stand. I guess that they suspected people stealing money from the games stand, but too many people were in and out of each games stand, and there was no way they could find out who the person was ... so most of the time, whoever that stayed the longest in the games stand would be the one blamed ... which totally sucks, cause the majority of us knew who exactly those people stealing are.

The worse part is that I kind of got involved. I work at the games stand where people play to win giant balls. The game is really not that complicated, but the way the game is being run is tricky, as in rules have to be explained extremely carefully. Money was missing from my stand for 3 consecutive days, but I have like 5 people coming in and out of my stand. So in order to resolve the problem, my boss decided to keep me alone in the stand for the whole day, with only the managers covering my breaks (which made it seems like he trust me totally, or it was just a test for me). I knew exactly how to run my game well, and I made sure no one was trying to steal from my stand .. so as I expected, the first day went totally well, with no lost money accounted. Sadly, every since that day, I became trapped in the stand forever. I was the only one allowed to work in that stand, and only managers and senior staff could cover my break. Of course, everyone knew what was happening in that stand, and it was could be trusted with such high importance. Then again, it sucks to be stuck in the game stand forever, and my breaks got cut because only managers could come in to cover me. Basically I'm enclosed in this boxed space !!Other games stand have other multiple people to cover them so they tend to get more breaks than me. Really hate it that because of these 'thieves' among us, that innocent parties get dragged into.

Oh wells, at least my conscious is clear .. and I have 2.5 more weeks of work. I shall do my part at work and work hard ........ :)

2010-07-27T01:00:00.000-07:00

The whole of last week has been so tiring for me. I was angry, sad, pissed and really confused ............ :(

One of my 'friends' here betrayed us. He went to tell my boss that we were talking behind his back, and that we were suspecting him of stealing some money from our rent. My boss actually believed him, and got totally pissed off at us. He ignored us completely at work, yell at us for no reason ... I thought at first he was just in a bad mood. This continued for a few more days, which I knew something really happened. The guy that betrayed us did'nt told us anything about it, until we asked him. I knew it was'nt really his fault, he's a smart guy with high IQ, but no EQ I guessed. But still, we seriously did'nt bad-mouthed anything ... but only complained about the super expensive rent (which is a normal thing to complain right?). This whole incident went on for almost 4 days, till I picked up the courage to talk to my boss about it. After explaining about it, my boss said he was really disappointed at first, but is ok now. He is now in a better mood, but no longer jokes with us ... which is simply different already. I really hate this guy now, for ruining my last month of summer here in USA. I am even more sad that my boss choosed to believe this stupid asshole and doubt the rest of us. Things will never be the same, because I totally trust no one here anymore. Some others who choosed to forgive asked me to be like them and joke around ... but it simply feels like I'm acting as a clown which I refuse to do so.

Dance in the rain and forget about the storm ....
... it was a little note on the inside of a chocolate wrapper that I ate :)

2010-07-15T21:35:00.000-07:00

OFF DAY was AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, I managed to get a off day alone myself. Usually my roomates would insist that we all get off days together so that we can hang out together .. but i totally dread it since i'm already seeing them 6 days in a week, there's no other reason why we should be together again on our off days.

My adventure began at 7am, as I set off to visit the outlets. I was planning to go to the Jersey Shore one, solely for the sake of Kate Spade! It was all well at first, until I decided to take an earlier bus which the driver told me would get me to the outlet too. Fine, so I arrived at the outlet and realised that it was'nt the one I had planned to go ... it was the Jackson's Outlet instead. It's not that the outlet was bad, but just that it did'nt have Kate Spade :( Anyways, I did managed to get a few stuff, and was determined to get to the Jersey Shore Outlet. I took back the bus and told the driver it was'nt the one I want, and after changing a couple more buses, I found my Jersey Shore Outlet !!!!! Sales at Kate Spade was pretty good. Sales item had an additional 30% off, and I got one of the bags for only US$80 :) After that, I had more time so I stopped by 2 more malls and did more damage to my wallet! Oh wells, it's a present for my graduation ....................................................... whee~

My brother is going to Paris this week !!!!!!!! Dammit ... I only knew about it now !!!! Looks like everyone back home is hooked with this travelling mania .... I wanna go Paris toooo :'(

2010-07-10T23:26:00.000-07:00

Guess what ?! ... I did spent my birthday working as I mentioned in the previous post ... and crazy USA gave me over a 100 degree Fahrenheit weather to work in. So I was sweating the whole freaking day like mad. It amuses me that the people who were wishing me 'Happy Birthday' were surprisingly the Russians, Bulgarians, and a whole other bunch of Americans whom I had hardly knew. On the other hand, none of my roommates knew about my birthday (eapsically the fellow Singaporeans) except for 1 of the guys who send me a lovely msg :) It was through the Americans that they found out about my birthday and they came over to ask me why I did'nt inform them that it's my birthday?! ... How weird ?! Oh wells, birthdays are just an indication that you are another year older, and it's time to get mature. This year's birthday is a wake up call to me that it's time to get my ass out and hunt for a job !! ... Okay I got it !!!!

Then again, I have been feeling so tired these days. Would you all try all means and ways to suck up to your boss out there and that you get into his good favour ? This was one of my initial reason for being the first to come to America, in order to get into good terms with my boss such that I can have good hours. It was pretty good the first few months ... but now the competition is getting tougher with 4 other girls doing the same stuff. I did all the work I was told to ... and I even took the same off day with my boss to hang around with him just to suck up to him. Right now .... I just so tired of all these shit. Come to think of it, I was pretty stupid huh? I'm no longer going to suck up to him, and I shall just let things work out. It's crazy that the other girls are gonna go New York with him, watch a Yankee match together, go shopping ..... blah blah blah ....... I'm done .... cause I'm are'nt your pet anymore!

Oh, and I officically graduated ... as Bachelors of Applied Science (Food Science and Technology) !!!! Right now as I'm typing this post, I guess all my fellow classmates are in UCC, waiting for their turn to recieve their scroll. My mum asked me in a recent email if I regreted not going for my commencement ... I though about it, and I will still say that I do not regret any of my decisions for coming to USA :)

2010-07-07T01:07:00.000-07:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea, so it's another birthday ... which simply means that I'm just 1 year older. There seems to be no big deal about it. Recieved tons of greetings on my FB, because most of the people know that I'm in US and won't be crazy enough to send me a msg on my phone. Surprisingly, the number of messages I got on FB was overwelming ... some from those whom I haven spoken for like more than 3 years ?! ... The power of FB !!!

Ended work just slightly pass midnight. It was quiet, cause nobody really knew it was my birthday. I figured i was too old to hold a party too, or I simply did'nt care. Will be in for work on my birthday too, as there's fireworks going on every Wednesday night, so I really did'nt wanna miss it. But it sucks that my game stall don't get a view of the fireworks .. I shall pray hard that I get a break when the fireworks goes off !!!

Gonna get off on thursday instead. Haven figured where to go ... but perhaps .... NEWYORK again :)

It's already 4.20am ..... Sky is gonna lit up soon, and I'm still sitting by the road using the internet ... I'm crazy !!!!!!!!! Time for bed :)

2010-06-30T20:02:00.000-07:00

I lurve my life now :)

Work have been good, but the weather seriously kills me. The summer heat is comparable to that of Singapore, or perhaps worse! My daily life is going to work, eat, gossip and sleep. The taiwan girls have arrived at our apartment, and we have 8 girls living together under one roof. This is seriously a total madness since it already takes a freaking long time to cook and bathe .... But what pisses me off is after all that whining, nothing is being done especially when it comes to house - keeping !!! Btw, I started to realised that I have a super low tolerance for dirt and crap. I have been cleaning the bathroom, room and kitchen weekly ... and I even managed to fix up the whole air-con and refrigerator all by myself after my roommates whined about it all day long and did nothing. Good job girls !!

Independance has became part of my life too. I dread hanging out all day long with my own locals, don't even mention having to have same off days. Even though they did insisted on getting the same off days, I seriously can't be borthered. Life is a zillion times more exiciting with other nationalities around :) Had my off day today, which was pretty awesome !! Went sun tanning with my russian girl, took the sky ride across the beach, hang out at the malls and we chilled at starbucks. This is exactly what life is all about!

Fireworks at the pier started today (i missed it thou), and it's gonna be a weekly event. I'm sooo looking forward to July 4th (Independence Day).... and July 7th so happens to fall on Wednesday, so I get fireworks on my birthday !!! ... what else can i ask for :D

2010-06-20T22:44:00.000-07:00

Internet connection is gone again !!!!! ... RWAR~

This seriously pisses me off, I have no internet, and there's nothing I can do except work work work. It has been 2 whole weeks, good and bad. I went back to NYC (hopefully the last time this time round) and we got scammed on our apartment! The person who claims to rent out the apartment to us was fake, and cheated us to sent our money over to him. It was such a shock when we reached NYC. Thankfully the actual owner of the apartment helped us, and the scammer was such a damn ass that he did'nt collect the money in time .. so we managed to stop the transaction and get out money back. Phew~ if not it would be $375 bucks gone! So we learnt the bad side of NYC :) Went around NYC alone, and seriously I'm beginning to love exploring the world myself alone! Met up with felicia and her BF too! Gonna miss my singapore friends which I'm gonna meet only in another 2 more months.

Sale in US has been freaking good too, and its draining off my wallet at a tremendous rate! I need to get more work done to buck up on my pay. Oh wells, the park is fully open tomorrow onwards, which means I'm gonna be working alot !!!

Time for SLEEP!!!!!!!!! ... I'm a working zombie right now!

2010-06-07T23:07:00.000-07:00

I survived the weekend !!!

It's no big deal actually, because i'm so used to the long hours of work already. But having to yell all day at the water gun games, is really killing my throat, and not forgetting the ulcers that keeps popping out. I'm pretty much used to the life here already ... ...

I love my job - only when i get to slack and stock up animals.
I love my boss - only when he's not in a bad mood.
I love my new friends - people from other country except asia.

Whee~ 1 month has passby so quickly !!!
I'm glad that I decided to come alone, and not sticking with anyone.
That's how to we get to meet new people, rather than just sticking around with your own people.
And seriously, I'm the oldest here so far ... so the young kids around me should stop worrying about where I wonder off after work because I seriously know my way home. I know how to cook proper dinner meals too!

2.5 months of work .. money money money !!!!!!!!!!!! :)

2010-06-03T19:02:00.000-07:00

A new pair of Singaporeans girls came. They seem friendly and we seemed to click rather well together. Probably because they are from NUS too? They belong to the super english-ish gang, that refuse to speak chinese, but yet not acting too bimbo-ish? I bet they had culture shock when they first arrived, seeing everyone around them speaking chinese .. haha ....

My Job~ It was a crazy weekend, as it was memorial day in USA. I worked from thursday to monday, clocking an average of 15 hrs/ day. Yes, I only slept like 5 hrs, while i spend the remaining 4 hrs eating, travelling, and cooking. By sunday, I was half dead and I did'nt knew what I was saying, I could'nt even count the money properly ... but fortunately, I did'nt give back the wrong change. I wanted an off day on tuesday. But I decided to get in to earn more money while I could, so I went in for work :)

Shopping again yesterday. The summer sales are starting, and I got so crazy !!! Bought a couple of tee and dresses. And I even got my third pair of shoes here after arriving for just 1 month ! Bought this super cute mini speakers that came with a tee (a speaker and tee combo) .. which cost me only US$3 !!! Ate at applebees too .. I had always thought that applebees sells only apples ... but the dinner was really great indeed, with 2 for US$20 deals which turn out to be quite cheap actually. Celebrated one of the girl's 21st birthday, and we bought a couple of drinks. Friday tomorrow, and back for a busy work through the whole weekend .........................................

2010-05-26T20:20:00.000-07:00

Back from NYC !!

This time round, it was'nt as fun as last year, when I went last year in our gang of 8.
I was the only one around doing the planning, while everyone else could'nt be borthered at all.
It was really frustrating, and as expected, things were screwed, particularly our accomodation.
And so, this is why I ended up coming back early than expected (suppose to return on thur) ...

Fortunately, I had one whole day of NYC to myself.
It was fun roaming the streets alone, where I could go anywhere I wanted and not having to listen to anyone.
I got to meet yonghui too, and we had a really nice brunch out at times sqaure :)

I miss my WAT2009 gang.
I had a guide, whom I could just followed around.
I had company, when I went mad shopping in the shops.
I had photographers who will take photos of me, when I'm just lazy to take myself.
I had food when I was hungry.
I really had FUN with you guys :)

2010-05-19T21:20:00.000-07:00

Today was the most awesome day i had at work. I would never imagine that I would get paid working this. It was the first time that I had to start work at 10am (I usually start work at 12pm) .. I drag myself up from bed, and drag myself to work. I was left to pack the office for them, and it was seriously in a horrifying state! There were nails, screw and staples all over the place. Tools, drills, cloth and rubbish were all over the table too. And so i began my dreadful day clearing all the stuff, with my bare hands! Surprisingly, I was too efficient, and I managed to clear the place much faster than the expected. I could'nt find the boss, so I slack abit, till he found me 30 minutes later. He took was shock that I managed to clear up the place so effectively, so I was given more work - restock the stuff animals :) Then the clock strike 12, and finally my day began happily. I was tasked to go off with the boss to alantic city to stock up stuff for the games. I began shopping around while waiting for the boss. Finally I got the cash, and off I went in. Grab all the bags that I was suppose to get ... and i could'nt resist the temptation so I grab a small pouch for myself too !!! We dragged the bags back to the van, and off we went to the apple store. We wanted the get ipad, but it was out of stock already! It was my first time playing with the ipad too. I was so damn tempted to get my itouch too, but i resisted ... and decided to leave it till 7 JULY 2010 :D .. And so I spent my time shopping while earning my pay. But damn, I'm only working 3 days a week .. I seriously need more money to fund my expenses ....

Anyways, I'm back to Trip Planning again. It's seriously a dreadful thing to do ... and now I really appreciate every single one of my friend that helped planned my last US trip. To make things worse, it much difficult to plan this time round due to this couple that stays with us. Bascially, the treat the place like a hotel, and only returns back to sleep. They have a bunch of friends working at the park, which leaves in the other apartment. So one day they came home telling us they are going NYC with the park friends. Fine, we can't be borthered. A few days later, the remaining 5 of us (in games) decided to go NYC too, and started planning for the stuff, which includes accomodation. Then tonight, after partying at their friend's place .. they return home and tell us, oh we are going to NYC too. You guys going? We will join you .. we can share the accomodation together. Freak! And they believe that it is possible to squeeze 10 adults into ONE hotel suite. Most importantly, they want a 5 star hotel suite, where everyone can cramp in, rather than a normal hostel where everyone gets a bed. The girl really reminds me of ms. princess ... ... ... ... ...

FINALLY !!! .. I found a good spot where there is good and stable internet access .. or perhaps it was just for today only ?! Life is becoming stagnant on weekdays since i have no work. Which also means that i'm leaving a junkie lifestyle. I eat BnJ, potato chips, drink hot chocolate with tons of marshmellow ... that's how fat i can grow to become !!

Anyway, I was skyping with my mum in the morning and she was talking about my brother. My brother is dating a girl with the same surname, and she is panicking! But still, she insist that she is open minded, so she won't mind it, but more worried whether the girl's parents would object to it .. haha! I once heard before that people of the same surname can't get married as the child they give birth to will be defected ... it this really true?! Still, i find it amusing how my mum got worried about that ! ..... Hmmm, if everything goes well, it's time to meet the girl when i get back .. wahaha!

2010-05-16T20:43:00.000-07:00

I need work and money to fund my shopping !!!!!!!

Its takes freaking damn long to upload a picture that i almost gave up. The internet connection here simply sucks. I'm soooo missing my old WAT buddies from last year ... now i appreciate how good they were all to me >.< ... This time round, there's no one to cook for me, drive me to outlets, share stuff with me, and crap with me. Oh, and regarding my roommates, it's more or less fixed. One china girl which obviously is a princess. She has everything done for her by her boyfriend, and she treats the room like a hotel. Only returning to sleep at night and spends her day at her boyfriend apartment. Two other singaporeans which are cousins, and are basically the mummy's precious ones. They skype every morning with their parents at 7-8am!!! Am i the only freak that sleeps late and eat tons of junkie? And frankly, i do find myself super independant as i don't really rely on anyone? I also discovered that I'm pretty capable of cooking proper meals!

I hope i will survive through 3 more months .. seriously !!!! :)

2010-05-11T07:29:00.000-07:00

life has been pretty much settled over here, getting used to the screwed apartment that i'm living in. the streak of bad luck does not seem to end .. since it started on sunday! went to work as usual, then felt a huge pain in my stomach. asked for the day off as the pain was too much to tolerate ..... as i walked against the cold strong wind, i rush back home. immediately, i dash to the toilet to puke! the worse part after i flush, the toilet bowl started to get choke ... dammit! managed to get my boss to fix it. then the next fine day, i decided to drop by BOA to clear my debts. though i was expecting to get scolded, i did'nt expect it to be sooo damn bad. the staff kept scolding me say its sooo soooo soooo bad to owe them money, as if i was some criminal that killed someone. then she blacklisted me and told me i would nvr be able to get a account through them anymore, fine so be it .. screw you !!

that aside, work a pretty much the same as previous year, but more slack i guessed. also i have decided to take a 'slack approach' this summer. i'm not gonna yell all day through that microphone to get business for them, because eventually we don't get any of the welfare! i will just get by slowly, entertain the customer if they drop by, if not .. who cares! ... the next big thing i'm so gonna look forward to is to get to some big shopping malls .. and not forgetting my big trip at the end of this 4 months :)

allrighty ... i guess i gotta start taking photos to update this bloggy ... i dunno why i lost the interest to take photos already .......... >.<

2010-05-06T09:20:00.000-07:00

my official first post from New Jersey USA !!!

Damn, it has only been 4 days and things are pretty rough for me. On 3 May 2010, i arrived at the airport hoping to get to my accomodation asap (as it was near midnight already). I called my employer, but somehow I just cant get through it! I started to freak out on the train, thinking that I have to sleep out at the train station till the next morning. I attempt to borrow a cell phone from others, but either theirs were out of batt, or they were too drunk that they freak me out. Thankfully, my employer treated my previous email (before i left for US) seriously, and waited at the train station for me .. even though I was 1 hour late! .. I arrived only at 1.30am .. a sign of relief.

Then I reached the apartment. It looks like some freaking ghost apartment. Door knobs were fallling apart, and the walls were so thin that I could hear everything above me. Not to mention, I was the only one person in that whole big apartment. I set off the next morning to the beach to find my boss, but the warm weather soon cause me to have gastric (as i forgotten i didnt really eat much on the plane too) .. so i went back to the apartment and grab a energy bar for lunch (the only food i had). Then i went off to the beach again, and thankfully I managed to find my boss. I told him I desperately needed food, so off we went to the supermarket .... It was soon dinner time, and I attempted to cook instant noodles (the only other food i brought to the US) ... In less than 10 seconds after I on the stove, the fire alarm went off .. shit! And so ... I ate my half-cooked noodles for dinner and gulp down a few mouthful of milk to keep myself full.

Soon, a few roommates arrived. I was happy ... for a moment. They were hungry too and so I had to bring them to the supermarket which was a 30 minutes walk from my apartment. They managed to get their food, and soon we settled back at our apartment. The next day I went to the beach with them to meet their boss. It was only then my boss told me that we wont be working together, as they had no apartment and had to bunk in ours temporarily. Then I accompanied them to the supermarket again (yes again..) so that they could make dinner. For some reason, I seemed to get tired easily by 7pm so i took a nap. The crazy girls, perhaps full of energy after getting their food started partying out in the living room and kitchen. Now the whole fridge is full of their stuff, and as usual, they love keep half eaten stuff in there! All the tables and floor are full of their bread crumbs and cakes ... well done! I wish they would just take away their mess with them when they leave.

So I have been eating, sleeping and spending the past few days without a job :( ... My job starts tomorrow, and hopefully everything would be fine and till my other roommates come ..........

Oh ya, did i forgot to say i have no freaking internet in my apartment!!!! The only internet is from Macdonalds ... a 30 minutes walk away ... So i guess i have to eat Macdonalds once a week!

2010-05-02T12:31:00.000-07:00

damn .. is my blogskin screwed again ?!

Anyways, this is the last post from SG before i set off to USA. It was a struggle to decide whether to return to USA a few months back ... Everyone around me kept asking me not to go, and why ?! Why i give up my convocation? Why i give up the opportunity to find a good job? Why i give up my honours? Why do i want to pay all that money to go through everything again? Despite of all those, I finally decided to go back again ... but alone this time. Perhaps, I'm trying to prove that I'm really independent? Or I'm just simply selfish and wanna go to all the outlets and refusing to get a job. No matter what, it's a fact that I'm leaving for USA in a few hours time ... ...

Somehow, I'm excited yet scared. I worry that I won't be able to get to the work place myself. I worry that I won't meet a nice bunch of friends like those I had last year. I worry that I have made the wrong decision to go back again. I do hope that I will get there safely and return safely with a whole load of experience.

Thanks to all those who wished me and supported me ... ... ...

It's gonna be a long long journey, till then I shall update more when I get there (hopefully with proper internet access) :D

2010-04-27T07:10:00.000-07:00

Back from my weekend getaway to PENANG!

We spent all our time eating eating and eating. There was'nt anything else much to do but to eat. I was expecting to gain weight, but to my surprise, I didnt gain weight actually, but I didnt loose any weight neither. Its the second time (first time was with the school) travelling with the FST school mates, and it is'nt too bad. Oh wells, but I think the best travel mates were the 2 guys that travelled with me in USA :) I was stranded alone as I had no one to share a cab with me back home. I had the option of taking the cab back alone, or camping out at the airport. Thank god wb dad's offered me a ride back, but i felt so bad having him to drive me all the way to BP, and back to town again.

One more week left before I'm gone for another 4 months. Got to settle a whole of other stuff ... Meeting up friends, buying and packing stuff, baking, my time is running out!!!!

2010-04-18T09:08:00.000-07:00

GOODBYE WYETH :)

IA is finally over .. I was soooo looking forward to this day, till this actual day came, and i actually felt kind of sad. I managed to clear my work before my last day as I had planned to slack, but I was kick out of the system earlier than I expected .. so no FB-ing for me :( .. In the end i spent my last day doing housekeeping for the whole lab and the office cabinet. I was touched by the little gifts from the other IA students and my collegues. The treat from the manager. Really did'nt expect it. I guess she knew that I was sad cuz she took the whole week leave on my last week!!! But i felt bad as I had asked more people to go for the dinner treat than she expected... opps! 4 months passed, and I'm thankful for the experience, and perhaps Cadbury rejected me for a better place :) Life goes on~ who knows I might be back one day!

Have been really busy settling all my WAT stuff, its so rush, with speedwing n gasi not being helpful at all at being so inefficient. Mama have already bought her tickets too, so fast!!! So i gotta plan out everything properly within the next few days ... Not forgetting the freaking presentation on Wed which I haven even started! Ok, I shall be good and stay home the next few days :)

2010-04-10T23:51:00.000-07:00

SPEEDWING seriously pisses me off !!!! (read the following only if you are free!)

Their speed and efficiency of working is sooo damn slow! i have to submit forms like pieces by pieces .. hello! cant you just ask for the forms all at once? then when i dont submit on time, you come chasing me! flight arrangement by them is crap too. they claim they select the flight on the best interest of student, yea right, so that means giving the students only 1 flight option and you have no choice but to accept it! .. then when it comes to booking accomodation (due to a late flight, i cant go directly to the employer place and have to stay over somewhere), they tell you that oh we wanna give students the flexibility of booking their own accommodation! what crap is this, is'nt it contradicting with their compulsory flight booking system? fine, so i accept your one and only flight option! then when it comes to the payment, they send out the forms on friday, and require you to submit it by tuesday via post, and they are closed on weekends .. best still, its with a photocopy of your passport. how on earth am i suppose to photcopy my passport when you are holding it for visa application? visa application is another dumb thing. they asked me which dates i'm available for visa application (which is after 16 april due to my internship), the next day they sent me a email asking me to go on 14 april !! it's either they are deaf or dumb .. what's the point of asking me when you don't give me the date i requested? the worse thing, my visa interview is at 8am and i still have to report at your office 45 minutes before the interview to collect my forms! wtf .. cant you just email us or something? ... you all should just reflect on yourself collecting so much money from us yet not doing anything for the students ... if anyone were to go to work n travel, i would seriously recommend ASK management, they are way better and efficient and cheaper!

Enuff of these nonsense .. some nice pics from ritz carlton buffet @ greenhouse :)

didnt take the rest of the food as i was busy eating, muhahahaha :P

2010-04-04T07:19:00.000-07:00

I have eating, eating, and eating so much for the whole week!

All thanks to the tons of birthday parties.

And i have more coming this week!!!!!!!!

Flabby fats please stay out of me ;(

Anyway, check this out ! http://nycbagelfactory.com/

This is pretty awesome and addictive. I've tried the raisin and cinnamon bagel chips, and its nice! The other chips and cream cheese looks tempting too, and the bagels. Oh, i wanna have a bagel affair picnic, haha. I'm not too sure where to buy it thou (my dad got this from his customer). But they do home delivery, with a minimum purchase of $18 :)

2010-03-31T08:35:00.000-07:00

17 days !!!!!!

work is never ending, even though my time is ending soon ...
i rushed out a 35 page report today, by forcing myself in front of the com the whole day!
i dunno if i should be glad or angry ?!
my hard work paid off, as my analysis is resulting in some major changes to the formulations.
but there's a whole load of shit to be done, in order for corporate to approve the changes.
i wonder if i was even acknowledge in the first place .. even thou i'm just a IA student!

and the funny thing is, all the other IA students are using my work as their 'templete', then editing it to become their hardwork .. wtf! screw these idiots .. go figure out the stuff yourself and stop asking me. i'm sooo gonna keep my mouth shut, and leave happily in 17 days time!

farewell lunch today for 2 of the staff @ raffles marina.
oh well, but the freaking stingy director refuse to pay for all the students, and we have to fork out $18.00++ each for the lunch, so we all decided not to go!
then they 'kindly' informed me that my lunch was paid for as i was leaving too.
i refuse to go, as i wanted to keep my pride for IA students!

2010-03-27T02:53:00.000-07:00

Specially for CC stalker !! ... Matcha Soyabean Ice Cream :P

Sobs, there's only 2 more lesson left for capoeira. I'm so gonna miss class. Perhaps, i will just grow fatter and fatter after that, duhx :(

3 more weeks to end of my IA too. Yet they don't let me off. Damn, i gotta do a presentation once a week to the whole department, wtf!!! I pray hard that i can do something to lose me voice soon ......

2010-03-25T07:06:00.000-07:00

damn! work is getting irritating and frustrating.
i can't stand some bitches who simply walk by my table and take away my samples for her own testing. oh and she kindly left the empty box of samples for me too, how 'kind of her'?! come on, how on earth can you be a tuition teacher when you are so selfish, spare a thought for others. it wont take like 1 minute of your precious time to just inform me right? i do hope you stay as far away from me as possible for my last 3 weeks. i do not need any help from you at all, and don't ever try claiming credit for the work i did. sickening boot-licker!!

thankfully most of my projects are independent. it's whole load of fun and efficiency doing all the stuff by myself. i have been spending time at a new lab this whole week. whee~ the super nice uncle at the lab offered me a ice-cream today :) IA students don't get any ice-cream, especially when your department is super stingy! frankly, i love working in production area, perhaps i should switch job?

3 more weeks to end of IA.
4 more weeks to presentation.
5 more weeks to penang.
6 more weeks to USA .. hopefully ... speedwing is so damn slow!

2010-03-21T07:39:00.000-07:00

Are'nt they adorable ?! :D I did'nt managed to catch the smiles of twiny.

They were too tired. Just wanted milk and sleep.

Hehex, we managed to play wii through the whole night while twiny were soundly in bed.

2010-03-16T05:15:00.000-07:00

white chocolate matcha eclairs :)

whee, baking was so much fun.

thou we failed at our first attempt.

we managed to get out these cutesy eclairs eventually!!!

we made crepes too .. but i forgot to take the photos :(

we had so much crepes that we ate a whole chunk of them for dinner.

felicia mum was so damn funny.

popping out suddenly, and taking candid shots of us.

omg! .. i think she was the only one who managed to get a group photo of us.

i'm sooooo gonna organise another baking session soon, before i leave for US .... hopefully >.<

2010-03-12T08:15:00.000-08:00

why do people lurve complaining?

i used to think that i was a complain queen.
but not anymore, the other students complain hell lot more than me.

working has test my patience.
everyone should just shut up and get their work done, instead of whinning the whole day long.
i'm a loner. i'm like working alone, ALONE with no one questioning what am i doing.

worse still, my new toy died on me.
why?! .. you are only 2 weeks old.
i suspect something is wrong with the charger!
let's see what they say tomorrow.

that aside, i'm sooooo looking forward to tomorrow!
baking at felicia's house.
i miss my superb lab partner. :)

2010-03-09T06:36:00.000-08:00

I feel so dumb today.
I spilt coffee into my bag !!!!!!

DAMN ...............................................................
My green bag got stained.
My crumpler camera pouch got stained.
My fossil wallet got stained.
My jacket got stained.
My yellow umbrella got stained.

Thankfully all the gadgets were well protected by the pouches i stored them in, and i managed to discover the coffee spill in time.

This is why you should store all your little gadgets in small pouches :)
Or rather, just dont be so dumb to put the coffee into your bag -.-

2010-03-03T08:34:00.000-08:00

I have been very cranky these days.
Its partially cause i have so much work to do, and i'm really tired.
I'm a human too!
I just wish to be left alone sometimes so that I can concentrate on my stuff .. duhx!

And perhaps it was'nt so much of a good thing that my work finally got recognised by the director. It simply means more work! I found it amusing a couple of times too, when you are requested to compile a whole list of data. But when it gets presented on the board, it becomes 'quoted' as the work done by another staff. Oh wells, i'm a smalll fly :)

Dread it totally when there are'nt any improvement in Capoeria at all !!!!

2010-02-27T07:01:00.000-08:00

M)PHOSIS is on SALES :)

My dear godmum is in ICU.
I can't believe I was just celebrating her birthday before CNY.
Now, she is attacked by this serious bacteria.
Seeing her so much in pain, I dunno if it would be better for her to just leave or to hang in there ?!
She finally saw me, and I know she badly wanna speak to me.
We would all just hope for the best .. :]

2010-02-23T03:41:00.000-08:00

I went missing for a couple of weeks as i was busy with CHINGAY !!!
Even though the costume is so damn freaking heavy and ugly, even though i had to do stupid dance moves ... but well, it was all fun watching the other performance live :)

With all that chocolate during CNY.
Crazy trainings at Chingay.
I'm sick now ...
Finally after dragging myself to work for 2 days, i went to see the doctor today.
Throat Inflammation !!! :(
MC tmr though :D

2010-02-14T21:08:00.000-08:00

HAPPY CNY !!!

I spent CNY playing wii.
It seems like everyone is gambling, perhaps due to the opening of the casino ?
Even my mama have gone to Genting.

Oh wells, i gotta slack n sleep before work starts on Wednesday.

Have fun collecting ang-baos everyone :)

2010-02-02T07:15:00.000-08:00

Perhaps i'm just selfish.
Perhaps i just refuse to face the fact (of getting a JOB!)
Perhaps ..........................

Oh wells, that's ME.

Had a hell load of busy stuff on-going.
I'm in capoeira.
I'm gonna join Chingay!
I'm going to USA :D

I went on the interview, being the first person.
It was pretty fun doing it on skype.
Most importantly, it felt awesome when i heard "you are hired" :)

Returned to NUS today too.
I had a chance to use the confocal microscope!
Apparently, it's freaking nice, and it cost like $20/hr to use that machine.
All thanks to my super rich company and my nice manager, i get to play with that.
Shall steal the pictures from my senior soon ..

Tata~

2010-01-23T09:39:00.000-08:00

I'm into a new craze recently, CAPOEIRA :)

I was deciding between Muay Thai and Capoeira, but i opt out the former as it involves running which i detest most! Finally feeling healthy after so long, as the last time which i had actually exercised was probably in poly?

Part of the guilt also comes from my bad bubble tea drinking habits ..
Even PG also cut down his intake to once a week!
Ok, i'm a super hardcore addict :'(

2010-01-22T07:33:00.000-08:00

I sent the IA student off today.
Somehow, I kind of feel sad as I know the whole place would be so quiet without her.
I know I will miss her.
I know there won't be anyone to guide me anymore.
From now on, I'm on my own .. My turn to guide the rest!

I'm the next to go :'(

I am being greedy too.
I want another USA trip!
Perhaps, I just refuse to face the fact that it's time to get out to find a proper job.
I will get to that in another 7 months.

Sooooo tired, but satisfaction ...................................... :)

2010-01-17T04:33:00.000-08:00

Penang flights at 59.09SGD.
I made the effort to organise something.
Things get complicated.
Perhaps i should not have initiated it.

RWARS ~

2010-01-14T07:16:00.000-08:00

I lurve my JOB :)
I really do, with the exception of my colleague forcing me to drink the infant milk .. ekks
Fortunately, there's 3 new students in this week, with the slacker about to leave.
Oh wells, hopefully things get better!

USA is still on my pending list ...
I'm still deciding, cause everyone backout and i'm all alone.
But the thought of "It's your last chance at WAT" really makes me wanna go.
Between WAT and convocation, i'm ready to give up the latter :]

2010-01-08T08:45:00.000-08:00

Trying to complete the work dilligently is not because i'm aiming for an A, because IA is not even graded. But rather, its a sense of responsibility i have towards the others and the company perhaps. To those who don't give a damn shit about it just because they are leaving soon, it's simply a pity.

Yes i know it's tiring but ultimately it me who will gain the knowledge.

Fortunately, the weekend is here again. Time for some good karma :)

Yet another decision to be made ... i got to make the right choice ..... x.X

How does a company choose an intern?

2010-01-04T06:00:00.000-08:00

Apply for internship at a particular company?
These are what they look for:
1. Super high CAP > suggest they prolly got super ultra damn smart brain cells
2. Students without CCA > indicates they mug their whole life!

Most importantly, those that do not indicate stupid statement like
"I do not like admin work" or "I'm allergic to utensils?!" especially when you are working in a food industry!

This was what my 'fabulous' intern company told me about their selction process.
Too bad for them, there was only 1 pathetic soul from NUS that select them, so no selection =P

2010-01-03T08:19:00.000-08:00

i have one less gossiping bitch as she board her plane off to london.
i'm sooo gonna miss her, oh wells 7 months gonna be over soon :)

gathering with the poly classmates really brings back old memories.
everyone is getting on pretty well.
but i found out a fact today, that the food industry seriously sucks.
(or rather i knew it long ago, but finally accept the fact today!)

oh, and if you guys didnt realised, i ditch my super ultra green skin for a more neutral one.

2009-12-31T09:21:00.000-08:00

Happy 2010 :)

New year resolution?
I wanna be a 'zai-nui' ... rotting my free days at home.
It's such a pleasure to sleep through the weekends!

Fighting on ... 3months + 16days x.X

2009-12-25T03:19:00.000-08:00

I was aiming for an A grade .. and i gotten it. What more can i ask for?
I should be contented with what i have got :)

Christmas was a silent one. No presents, no cards, no parties, no greetings....
Surprise christmas card from the UK :)
Majong night on christmas eve (thanks to those who put in the effort to organise it, thou i was emoing the whole night)

That's about it,
Merry Christmas !!!

2009-12-21T06:06:00.000-08:00

Are'nt they cute and adorable? Especially when all its whole body curl and wrap up. Haha! Too bad it's too fragile that i'm afraid to carry it.

Merry Christmas!! :]

2009-12-20T05:24:00.000-08:00

Christmas is coming ... but its gonna be a silent christmas.
It sucks that the company is not shutting down for christmas.
Gotta appear for work, with tons of shit to clear, while all the permanent staff are mainly on leave. Sobx ...

Weekends have been fun so far.
Thanks to all my lovely classmates for all the fun gatherings.

Results gonna be out soon .. and its time to make a decision .. honours or not ?
I dread ... :(

2009-12-10T02:17:00.000-08:00

Work has been sooooooooo freaking busy! Handling a couple of projects together, and gotta get them all done. My legs ache like mad, after standing the whole day to do pilot testing, worse still, the dryer got damaged, and everything has to be redo. As usual, there are always some weird, fake, snoobish people in the company who cant be borthered about you, and just create so much trouble for you. Oh wells, i will survive this .. too bet, its not the job i would like to stay for the long term.

Looking forward to the coming weekend, gonna have a blast .. i forsee the hell next week !!

2009-12-01T07:20:00.000-08:00

I'm FREE .. perhaps not really.

I went missing for 1 month, to fight hard for my last semester. Its all over !!!!! But i was rather dissapointed, as you tea-beer group went home empty ended at the SFMA competition (Probably it was kind of expected, but i felt really bad for the boss who invested in us, and the money!! .. oh wells ..). This semester has gone past in a crazy way, and i wanna really thank Miss Felicia the fartiao, Sarah Ang the weirdo and sweelian the sweetee!!! Without you guys, life in NUS would be so miserable, and completing reports and projects would be hell .. you guys know wad i mean :) Exams was crazy, as i studied most of my exams only the day before, or on that day itself .. somehow i lost the momentum in between .. Hopefully i will be able to graduate !!

I had 1.5 miserable day of holidays, which i spent on cutting my hair and majong! With that aside, i spent the next day in a traumatising moment .. i went to pluck my wisdom tooth!!! .. It's soooo freaking scary, that the nurse had to hold on to my head whole the dentist pluck out the tooth, oh damn it ... ;(

That's the end of my short holiday .. time for work tmr at Wyeth .. bless me :)

2009-10-31T07:53:00.001-07:00

I have less than 1 more month to freedom !!!!!

This is such a critical period for me. This week is ... HELL! I have 4 reports due, 1 presentation, 1 test, and the SFMA compeitition is draining sooo much time of mine in this 1 week. Then i have 1 week to study for 5 papers, and its exams! Fortunately, i managed to escape from presenting both the competition and the module one. I'm the person planning for the skit thou, haha, it so much more fun :)

My tooth is irritating me again. I got a wisdom tooth to pluck :( But i'm trying to delay it after exams .. shall see how it goes the next few days.

It's gonna be nightmare for 1 month, but it's ok, i know it will end soon. Till then, i will hide in my little cave. I promised i shall meet up with all my beloved friends in december !!!!!! Miss all of you :P

2009-10-19T07:17:00.000-07:00

I find it weird when guys wanna call me up and discuss about project work. Especially irritating jerks who are so full of themselves and don't even admit their mistake, or even say 'sorry'. Come on, why keep you ego so damn high when you ought to look at yourself in the mirror how crap you guys are. So what if you are a dean lister, you have no right critise us! Don't even tell me to speak politely to you when you don't even give me the basic respect.

Seriously, you are the worst jerk on this earth!

Its ok, i have 1 month and 9 days to see you, and after that good bye!
And i'm sooo gonna curse at you everyday hoping you don't Nestle Swiss internship, because i sooo freaking hell hope you get to a pathetic lousy local internship .. dumb ass!

Novemeber is gonna be a crazy month !!!

Exams exams exams, SFMA competition, and my cousin is giving birth!

I cant imagine .. not seeing her for like 6 months, and waha! her stomach balloon sooo much!
Plus she having twins, which explains the super extra huge tummy .. Too bad, i think giving birth is way tooo scary .. =P

Oh wells, and i have 2 dreadful HACCP analysis to conduct. 1 is already whole loads of hell, and i even have 2 to do. Plus, our group being the ultimate hardcores refuse to accept slackers thus we are working with only 4 people while all the other groups have 10 people. We believe in productivity and efficiency instead of quantity :)

I cant believe as i count by the days, my university life is gonna end soon. I kinda miss my awesome click, but then again studying in NUS seriously sucks and drain me off completely. So currrently the chance of me extering honours year is equal to 1% of passion + 1% of academic capability. From today onwards, it will be 7 days of mugging, 12 hours a day .. till my last paper. With that, i can give a big smile and say i did my best in university and i'm proud to graduate! Too bad, i dun even wanna come for covo .. if i return to US again .. wahaha~

2009-10-04T08:58:00.000-07:00

I've got another week of break from school, but i dunno if i should be happy ?!

NUS dumb system. In the event of a SARS or H1N1 breakout, all classes have to be stop. So wells, they are trying out the e-learning system, suspending all lectures this week, but tutorials and laboratory are still on-going. Brilliant?! .. but all my modules are arranged in a way that we have 2 hours lectures followed by 1 hour of tutorial. So, i get to skip lectures and have to turn up in school for 1 hour of tutorial!

This is completely a useless system, because even if you stop all lectures, people would still gather in the library. Whats the point then?

Anyways, i have been having a pretty good momentum in mugging and reporting lately, ever since the aftermath of my devasting IA interview. I hope this will last till November 28 !!! ... I'm ready to fight on and end with a blast :)

2009-10-01T08:32:00.000-07:00

I have 15 more days to make an important decision.

To go/ not to go for WAT 2010 ?!

I guess everyone will be thinking that i'm mad.
But i will prolly graduate next year.
So i wanna enjoy myself before i get stuck in the work force.
I soooooo wanna go :/

2009-09-28T06:29:00.001-07:00

The first classmate who got married! .. It was what we had all predicted in POLY :)

It has been a long long time since i met my old classmates, more than half the class. Everyone has grown up. Working, studying and marrying .. it has made me realized how freaking childish i am, still like a small kid studying my way through. With books in my way, i seriously feel that i look like crap too, i guess i need a makeover.

Cheers to OL for her blissful marriage, she certainly was the preetiest and most fortunate bride that day. I cant imagine a few years back we were still fooling around in the lab making candies, and now she's someone wife. Amazing, her husband remembers my name (i tink OL complain too much about me torturing her last time) .. haha.

I'm happy today :)

Sharing the joy of others.
Most importantly, its 2 more months to my freedom! Whee~

2009-09-24T06:49:00.000-07:00

i took a little time off my busy schedule for indulgence :)

Icecream Buffet at ION swenson !! Btw, it my second visit there. I just had to go back once more before the offer ends. This time rounds there were profiterols (they didnt have it the first time round)! These cute little balls were so addictive, plus fresh strawberries with white chocolate fondue .. hmps. Frankly, i gotta admit that the ice cream were'nt really attractive, plus they always have the best flavour missing! So yea, while the promotion is still on, go try it for the sake of fondues, waffles, oh yah and malt balls. Remember to print the coupon too, i can send you guys. For 20 bucks (without promotion), i prolly won't go back there thou.

I'm currently on a bad addiction with Gorden Rhamsey, watching every single clip of his on youtube. I gotta stop this soon and get back to work :(

2009-09-20T23:48:00.000-07:00

I roamed around FB, and came upon a new wall post.
It was about a new blog post that JJ had posted...

Here's what that had happed ..
JJ went to US with a bunch of friends, whom they were suppose to be from the same click.
Conflict started in the US, and became a really ugly one.
Back to SG, there's still pile of stuff unsettled, because they bacame on non-talking terms.
Both party talked bad behind each other's back, but of course the gang spread more due to more people in their side (i admit being part of the gossip x.X).
The gang contacted JJ's family regarding the matter, and of course JJ was not happy.
The rest was all complained in JJ's blog.

It's kinda funny after reading her blog.
Because i so happen to be in the same group with the gang this semester, and apparently i had an arguement with them recently.
Oh, btw, the gang happen to consist of dean-lister which equivalent to top scorers of the cohort.

Being once under their 'category', i have came to realised no one is really that smart.
You may think that you score well for everything, know everything under the sun, walk with your nose high up pointing to the sky .. but once you step out, you would realised you are just nothing.

Wells, it's really the last semester for most of the people in our class (except the gang, that's most likely moving on honors year). I do hope conflicts would be resolved, and we can graduate happily :) With that said, i shall 'REN' .. and prevent any conflict i hope.

2009-09-20T05:03:00.000-07:00

my stress radar has shot up to maybe 9 out of 10.
just by looking at the amount of tibits i eat a day, yea i'm stress!

no wonder my friends call me a Junkie :)
but soon, i'm gonna become into a Fattie! .. oh no~

My long long list of reports to be completed in 1 miserable week of break:

Wine report
Saukeraut report
Yoghurt report
Pest control report
Micro Lab 2
Sensory 2 report
Tempeh report
Lab testing for NPD and the list goes on ..

Wow~ what a wonderful break i've got :(

2009-09-19T00:36:00.000-07:00

i like doing things i like, and i seriously hate doing thing i detest. when i'm forced to do thing i detest, i would try, but till a certain point i'll go mad. one more important point to note - when you notice me doing things i really detest, it's best to stay as far away from me as possible, if not don't blame me for whatever that happen next :(

i guess i'm the next target of the group. group meeting was a complete nightmare, as everyone told me i was damn fierce. i guess by this time i have become the most 'popular' member of the team and would recieve the 'best rating'. wells, imagine yourself having to go through reading journals every night, when your eyes are already so damn freaking small.

i'll try to keep peace hopefully *crosses finger.

it will soon be over :)

2009-02-16T07:11:00.001-08:00

i drifted off from blogging in my Professional Communication blog, to this less formal blogging ..

It seriously made me wonder these days whether FAST FOOD should be still named as that when they can't even live up to their name ?!

the two incident i faced really made me have second thoughts in stepping into a 'fast food restaurant' again, unless necessary.

I was at XXX (the one attacked by pirates?), queuing for my turn. As i waited for almost 5mins!, the customer in front of me was still not done .. asking freaking lots of Qns. Then, the next thing i knew was the cashier scalded her hand by the coffee machine, and she ran off. Me, being so innocently dumb, continued to stood in the queue, and after another 5mins, the cashier finally came back. She looked at me stunned (perhaps wondering why i was still there?). And when i finally attempted to make my order, she looked at me: "sorry, this counter is closed. Please queue in the other counter?" I turn around and saw at least 5 people queuing in the other counter (there was'nt any at first). WTF, and so i walked off pissed without any food after wasting almost 20mins of my time ?!

Then on another day, i went to XXX (the so-called environmental friendly one). Waited for freaking 20 minutes for a burger! .. and its takeaway! maybe its a new outlet? .. but from wad i observed, only 1 pathetic staff busting his ass out there, while the rest seemed lost? ..

FAST FOODS should be renamed SLOW FOODS instead.

2009-02-14T06:44:00.000-08:00

HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!!

As all couples out there enjoy their celebration.
All singles moaning at home.
I spent my boring valentine day with two other poor souls.. rushing out report in the super freaky retro SCIENCE LIBRARY at NUS!

After reading tons of journal (seriously, almost 15 journal quoted in reference), typing and editing grammar mistakes for 4 full days (10 hours/ day) .. i produced the report with the conclusion that its worth 6% of my total marks. am i mad ?!

Anyway, i recently had this super 'cool attitude' lecturer .. this was what she said in class:
"Yes, i'm single. I choose to be because i want my quality of life and freedom. I'm willing to spent $100 on a piece of steak. You girls and boys out there don't follow me, unless you can withstand being lonely and miserable, and can take care of yourself. And remember, there wont be anyone taking care of you when you grow old. Can't stand it?! .. go find your GF/BF. If not, if you choose to be single, do so .. and don't complain!"

Perhaps that was the reason why she tortured us this valentine day with the freaking mad report .. but anyways, i admire her. she's cool! =P

2009-01-31T08:36:00.001-08:00

Hey Peepz .. follow me at my 'knowledgeable' blog.

Whee! .. i'm happy this semester.

2009-01-16T09:06:00.000-08:00

Happy CNY !!

2009-01-02T02:41:00.000-08:00

its 2009 !!

countdown was supposedly at ECP .. but i did'nt wanna stay over and so i went home early .. and spent my countdown on the bus instead as the clock strike 12.00am! .. i tot some ppl might scream 'Happy New Year!' on the bus, but well, nothing happen ..

i reborn my hair and i bought a pair of new shoes for 'CNY' (or perhaps school ?!) .. i did'nt wan to reborn at first .. but the thought of my hair becoming crazy during my 7 hours of lab ....

new year resolutions?! .. to keep my CAP above 3.5 .. at least this wont sound impossible =)

2009 !!! .. i wanna wish for world peace . love . happiness to everyone .. and may the economy turn super well so that everyone can have jobs with high high pay =P

2008-12-28T05:50:00.000-08:00

Christmas Party at our house this year !!
Tons of foods .. nice !! .. except that horrible mango log cake .. i tink we'll stick to chocolate next time =)

burger patties wrap in prata with mangoes and lettuce is superb! .. i've been having that for breakfast for the past 2 days !! =)

2008-12-24T06:56:00.000-08:00

i spent my christmas eve making puffs .. cream puffs !!

was intending to make matcha cream puffs but i could'nt find any matcha powder despite going to 2 supermarkets! .. in the end, i search around my house and made cocoa cream puff and mint cream puff. i lurve the mint one, my mum too =)

i failed in my first attempt! .. i over whipped the cream and it became butter! .. now i believed felicia that over whipping of cream really makes it into butter. so i had to purchase a second pack of cream to remake it ... fortunately it was ok the second trial. i hand whipped the cream! .. gosh, my arms are aching now !! ...

went to west coast plaza yest to get some chocs .. or perhaps alot of chocs !! .. i bought a few lemon and black pepper choc! .. yeshii, its lemon and black pepper!!!! .. hmmm.. zesty lemon feel in the dark chocolate .. and i went over to cold storage and their Andes Mints were on sale! .. damn cheap .. usual $6.35 and it became only $3.10 per packet! .. so i got 2 packets ... happy happy minty christmas with my minty chocs and puffs !!!

Merry Christmas to all =)

2008-12-23T05:52:00.000-08:00

I PASSED !!!!!! thanks Buddha :)

2008-12-20T08:11:00.000-08:00

did i mention that i went back to NUS that day.
my dear cousin asked me to help her borrow 7 textbooks for her reference so that she can study during her 1 month study break when she comes back ..
so i had to smuggle her big sista and husband into the library with only 2 matric cards (thanks to MP) .. so scary!!! ... for the first time, the librarian was looking at us when we went it .. thankfully, she did'nt catch us.. and borrowing so much books at once makes us more suspicious! ..
library was kinda flooded with medicine people .. blah ...

and i finally manage to convince my mum to go on a vacation! .. kinda rush .. its during the one week recess week .. which i foresee will have a lot of quiz after that .. but who cares ? .. my result is so screwed already !

2008-12-19T09:06:00.000-08:00

i finally had my hotpot culture steamboat buffet !!! ..
damn .. i ate till my stomach exploded .. but as compared to the people around us .. i tink we ate quite little .. there was this couple besides us which came only 5 minutes later than us .. and when we finished everything (including desserts), they were halfway thru their mains course only !! .. if they were to eat there everyday, hotpot would have closed down. anyways, there's free flow of drinks if you're their member .. and the membership is free! .. just register online via their webpage. i guess i registered too late, and their said i was'nt in their records .. but luckily MP argued with them, and we demanded our free ice tea .. thank god .. some of the dishes were really spicy !!!

i went jurong point just now .. gosh! .. it changed soooo much .. but frankly, i haven been there for almost a year ? it expanded so much that i nearly got lost there! .. but then, there's a whole hell lots of people there .. argh .. i dread shopping with soooo many freaking people ... the worse ting .. i told my mama about how amazing jurong point changed, and she said she wanna go tomolo again .. shit !! ..

2008-12-15T22:34:00.000-08:00

7 hours of freaking lab !!!

I was planning my timetable for next semester and i realized that i have SEVEN freaking hours of analytical chemistry lab ! Yucks .. so horrible =( ..

I wondered what the heck will i do in there ? .. Even though i managed to survive 9 hours of lab, twice a week last semester .. but at least it was some stupid life science lab, that requires intensive pipetting work only ! .. analytical chemistry lab? .. then though of staying in that non air-con lab for 7 hours .. with the risk of some weird chemicals exploding in my face drives my nuts!
* i'm dead serious .. last semester a explosion occurred in the chemistry lab, and a PHD student went blind !

anyways, i haven plan for my fourth module yet .. but provided that i pass my metabolism and regulation ?! .. i have nightmares these days .. i really think that i have a risk of failing !! ... All i want for Christmas is to pass my modules !!!!!!

Slacking at home makes me feel so bad .. when i so used to working like mad .. so perhaps planning modules .. and my US trip make me feel slightly better ? .. and i wanna make some christmas treats !! .. time to search for recipes ! ... =)

2008-12-11T08:13:00.000-08:00

the extraction of the enzymes officially began .. so freaking nervous .. as we collected our first liver !

everything started out quite badly ... so many screwed up here and there .. first our group picked a liver that was only 6g! .. while some other groups managed to get a 13g liver!!! .. sucks .. but no choice .. we had to carry on .. homogenizing .. ammonium sulfate precipitation !! ... the stench of liver .. ewhhh .. so stinky !!! ... enzyme assay failed on the first day .. =( sobx .. continued with HIC and enzyme assay again on day two ! .. finally it showed some results !!! .. it was a miracle .. such a screwed up group yet we achieve some results .. while some other 'perfect' group got no results !! .. i'm so proud of myself !!! .. i can SHOUT out loud its 99% of my effort i put in !!! .. i endured 9am to 5pm lab non-stop without lunch! .. and i finished the 50++ fractions of enzyme assay all by myself !! .. wheee ....

thats about it for the good part ... then i received my LSM2201 marks .. sobs! .. did freaking badly!! .. even thou half the class failed ... but i did'nt even get 50% of the highest marks in the class .. thats how low my marks ar =( ... and then ... after so much stress and lab endurance .. i finally collapsed .. so sick now! .. went to see doctor, and did'nt go school today .. pls recover soon .. i have another battle coming up next week .... !!!!!

till then, bless me and my rattie liver .. i hope they stay alive !!!!

2008-10-03T08:36:00.001-07:00

VH's friends sounds so inspirational !! ... quoted from her friend's blog :

Ignore the Downers
Many people in this world do just enough to get by. They blend into the background and go through life as spectators and not participants. Stop listening to these people complain to you about things. They will only motivate you to do less than your best work.

All these sounds so familiar to wad i'm experiencing .. even though i'm not the one hearing the complains, but is the one being complained about ?! .. wahaha .. i guess i'm gonna be so damn super famous for being the bitch in the class soon as my name get spread around in class ! ..

its ok, my conscious is clear .. yet still, i'm always forcing myself to do things beyond my limits.

and the reason why i carry a penknife in my pencil case ?! .. hmmps ..

2008-10-01T08:20:00.000-07:00

i only wish that people would turn up for meetings and complete their respective parts in reports.
am i asking for too much ?? ..

i am still hanging on there ..
