what should we be expecting?

Phew..! I finally get to breathe after working for 6 straight days. I hope I won't need to work as much once an "afternoon aunty" is employed.

Derick dropped by at East Point today! First ever friend to pay me a visit there! Gave him a super big scoop of ice-cream to go with the waffle. Hey derick, was it really that nice? haha but I think it was! cos it was made by yours truly. (",)

So I went to Bugis Kinokuniya this afternoon and then to Metro at Century Square. Being a typical Singaporean, I went to kino purely on the basis of a 20% discount storewide. haha and of course to Metro on the basis of a 50% clearance sale. Actually it was dad who wanted to get some polo shirts from there since its on discount. Oh my was the place packed like sardines! Can you imagine how crowded it was when I was practically rubbing shoulders with everyone else? One particular range of polo shirts are in so bad condition that I finally see the reason behind a 50% discount CLEARANCE SALE. It is to really CLEAR whatever that is left! So in the end dad only got himself a pair of bermudas. And to much coincidence, I bought a storybook on behalf of Shi Ling and guess wat?! The cashier's name is Tan Shi Ling which I realised only when I reviewed the receipt. Shi Ling maybe you can try buying 4D with the receipt numbers. and count me a share!

Semi-finalists of Miss Singapore Universe will be having a show at East Point tomorrow at 5pm and they were having a rehearsal this evening. Well..Being a typical Singaporean AGAIN, I stood there watching them do all their catwalks and ignored my work.haha! To think that one customer said I was eating snake. But he meant it as a joke. This year's Miss Singapore isn't that fabulous I would say. They do have the figure and height cept for some really bamboo ones. Looks wise are only so-so to me. There are prettier ones out there. I'm pretty sure that one of the contestants is an ex-NYJCian. She looks very familiar to me. Be prepared for the lower quality Miss Singapore. But again, they might look good when they're properly dressed for the pageant. They were dressed rather casually today.

Oh yes.. Brother just came home and asked if i want to watch Transformers tmr!! OMG! This is the 1st time he's inviting me along for a movie session! Looks like it's for real that he's more concerned about me now that sister is not staying with us. So touched.. Thanks bro!

Shall go read my book that I bought from kino! the 20% discount is on until 1July!! So everyone please go grab something to read!! It's so worth it that I feel like heading to kino orchard again!

Away for the moment..

here to do some last minute blogging before i fly offfffff...

Flight's at 1am later and off to the airport at 11pm. omg and dad and mum hasn't even packed! imagine the din they're going to make later. Hopefully this trip can take my mind off the thing bugging me lately. Already getting accustomed to the new "life" now that sister is not staying with us. my heart aches whenever i think of her not coming back for the night and no one to share room with and no one to wait for to come home. oh well..i will get used to it. Brother is starting to show more concern for me now that sister is not home. Really appreciate it. I had better stop or I'll start to tear again.

My house will be empty from tonight onwards to 14th june.. haha. Sister went on honeymoon this morning, brother went to taipei for work yesterday and off the 3 of us tonight to China! Sister said she'll get snow back for me from Switzerland. i'm taking her words for it man! Nothing valuable at home anyway so forget about breaking in ya? Might be coming back on 14th june depending if we're heading to beijing after shanghai.

Results will be out in a couple of hours. Please do not make me fail any of the horrible subjects.

don't miss me guys!!

chill out time,

result of results..

oh my god! results will be out on 8 June!! How to check when I won't be in singapore? hopefully aunt brings her laptop to China or gotta rely on bro to check for me. shits..!

Here's a short recap on the terrible and horrifying exams. AA102 was alright, except for my lousy answers to the qualitative questions. I hope my quantitative answers won't lose that much marks cos of my renowned carelessness. AB105 was really stupid. I didn't make use of that much materials taught. No wonder people say OB is common sense and u enter the exam hall just to "sian" your way through. AB106 was the 2nd terrible one. The 1st qns stunned me and caught me unprepared. couldn't change all my answers to the 1st qns in time so wth? I didn't know wat I was doing for that entire paper. Seriously felt like throwing the exam paper at the setter's face. pardon me for my contemplated rude behaviour. The worst paper of all is STATS!! my god! one main reason was i didn't have enough time to prepare for it cos HP806 ended very late the previous night and I was cramming stats in like 3hrs? Didn't have time to finish stats and half the time I didn't know what the question is asking. This is my most feared paper. I'm just hoping for the minimum grade to pass. *keeping fingers crossed* The best paper I've done is obviously HP806. Quite common sensical questions and I was lucky enough to have thought of memorising all the different names like BASIC Ph and the procedures to some debriefing thing. But there were others that I didn't even know existed, like the grieving topic.

I'm happy with just a pass in all subjects.Really.

taking us for granted

PISSED

I'm back if you've been thinking that I've been MIA-ing. Have been working at my cousin's little stall selling bread, cakes, tarts and waffles. Working hours are really shitty: 9.30am-10pm on some days while others are like 12pm-10pm..

Nature of the work:
1. Greet customers politely
2. Smile the whole day long
3. Promote the cakes and tarts like the irritating promoters that i hate at shopping centres
4. Make waffles for super long queues at times and i tend to forget to collect payment when I get really busy and stressed by the many orders.
5. Hardly get to rest my legs!!
6. The manual cash register really gets me scared of giving change to customers cos i'm really not good with quick mental sums.
7. Get to play with babies and little kids =)
8. Irregular meals hours cos the stupid crowd really makes u feel like not eating

The feeling of being exploited isn't really fantastic at all. She has been getting dad and i down to the stall everyday that we don't seem to have a life at all! I haven been having meals at home for the past 1 week an always ended up having to record my TV shows. I thought dad and i could spend some time with sis next week cos she's on leave already but looks like I'll be "mobilised". WTF!

Seriously, if u need someone to look after ur biz for u, pls get someone permanent and someone more directly related. Call me selfish if you want but i really dun agree with this arrangement. Our lives do not belong to you and we have better things to do!!! Why did you have to go thru aunt to get dad to help u? or did aunt approach dad out of her own accord?

I will spin a whole series of white lies the coming days and i noe i can get away with it. It's dad that wo bu fang xin. Knowing his character, he'll definitely go down to help even when i'm not going. I don't want him to work so hard and it just makes me feel that he's being made use of simply because he's not working anymore. I want him to enjoy the remaining days to 1 June to prepare the necessaries for the wedding.

And so I was complaining to dad and mum just now and i was so angry that tears started flowing and my voice quivered. yes, that is how pissed I was. Dad tried to reason with me but i just cant think from his perspective. dad says the reason why cousin wanted us to help was that she trusted us enuff. I dun need cousin to trust me. I just want to enjoy my holidays. Yes, I'm selfish. I'm self-centred.

the selfish girl,

childhood excitement

Hello!

Not sure to be honoured or not to have people so interested in my everyday life that they're constantly bugging me to update my blog. Or are u all just kpo? hahhax.. =)

So my trip to China has been confirmed.. Flying on 8jun midnight (leaving for airport on 7jun) and coming back on 14jun 5am.. But dad has plans to drop by at Beijing to tour certain places before we make our way back to sg. so might come back after 14jun. Either taking domestic flight or railway trains to Beijing. I wanna visit the Imperial Palace again! Been to Beijing in P6 and i admit i was a lil too young to really admire the place. So now's a good time to revisit the place. (",) Yay!! We get to visit Ms Saw at Shanghai and play with her lil darling of 5mths! woots!


I remember I used to get really excited over overseas holiday trips. But not this time. There are 2 possibilities. The 1st is perhaps I've hit the phase in life where you just lose the excitement you use to get when you were younger. The 2nd is maybe too much of something makes u take it for granted and not treasure it that much. I guess the 1st case applies to me. I don't travel so often so the 2nd one is invalid.haha! The 1st case also applies to my loss of excitement during CNY. When I was younger, I welcome each CNY with such warmth that I get real excited and immerse myself totally in the cny mood. But not in these recent years. Maybe partly the adults are now asking if i have a bf cos my cousins are slowly bringing their partners to visitings and it gets real irritating when they keep harping on the norm that it's-time-to-find-ur-bf-in-uni. Is there a law that says this? Please show me..

There was once in kindergarten when I was going for a holiday trip to some nearby country and I couldn't get to sleep the previous day. I woke up extremely early, yanking my mum off the bed telling her it's time to wake up. To my disappointment, she told me its not time yet. Oh man.. you can imagine the look of dismal on my little face. So I headed back to bed and time seemed to pass soooooooooo slowly then..

How nice would it be to return to the younger days and experience the feelings of excitement all over again.

smiles,
