The week's been a mad rush being closing week. Closing week is da' bomb. Closing week saps up all of my brain juices and the phone doesn't stop ringing.
Having the last day of the month on a Monday doesn't ease matters; it only makes it worse. Wayyy behind schedule, need I explain further?
I screwed up my G7 completely. The examiner was really nice to have put up with all the nonsense as I fumbled through my scales, but then I suppose she can't just scream, "OUT you...I've had it up to here with your arpeggios and chromatics!!!" -shrugs
Met Celia for dinner at Cartel for her birthday dinner treat. While she lamented over her lecture notes and lessons the next day, I complained about work. :( For a moment, I hope we did a switch.
Celia - 11 years of friendship :)
Some "refine-looking" cacklers with their sky-high heels and sharp suits are so painfully obnoxious they can't even squeak a "sorry" having knocked so hard into you on the train. Yes, she made me lose balance too even though she's lean. Ugh.I just dropped my T7! shitshitshit.
Attended a wedding last night with Gramps. You'd think that with old folks making up more than half of the guests, they'd do better than to serve it buffet-style.
A relative in his mid-70s commented in Hokkien, “平常喝喜酒，一手喝红酒一手吃东西，很爽！这样吃buffet， 食物‘参参’， 怎么吃跟喝？ 都不爽！”
Hahaha! That was really funny, and all the other aunties and uncles at the same table laughed heartily.
It was a really simple affair, with about less than 30 tables in total. As simple as it was, I couldn't help but feel it lacked something that weddings should have...
After that, my dad picked us up, dropped off my aunt and grandma before we went out again for supper. But! that whatever stall he wanted to take us too closed earlier than usual being its last day of operation and we headed to the red-light district elsewhere for porridge. In the car, my brother who was on the phone with his friend, exclaimed quite a few times that he saw "guys hugging each other!!!"/"pretty ladies who looked a bit like man" and all that... I think it'd been a little overwhelming for him. Haha!
I'd admit it was slightly uncomfortable being there, but the food was good!
I'm looking forward to my trip!!! Woots!
I think the duck rice did it. :(
Anyway, I packed my table, cupboard and drawer!
So proud of myself. Haha.
Some people have such thick skin, I can't help but think what other atrocious requests they'll come up with the next time.
Lesson was good yesterday, because there were no scales.
The exam's on Wednesday, and I'm ill-prepared as can be.
Crunchyroll's addictive. No wonder people are hooked.
Had fun at KBox yesterday :) with huiling, dajie and smalljie.
That was AFTER we crawled to Suntec under the scorching hot sun. =.= I'd say, just WALK to Suntec via Citylink instead of taking the shuttle bus, really.
For once, no 珊瑚海 for me nor smalljie. So we took 屋顶 and 天天夜夜, which was not so good either in my opinion. Haha.
And I finished my 2 glasses of Honey Water and Green Apple; a great feat for someone who previously can't even finish half a cup in a session.
Huiling got very high again with 恋爱-ing, as usual.
And we obstinate people stayed on till we finished our selected repetoire even after that woman came in TWICE to tell us our time was up.
I do like going for singing sessions like that, even though sometimes after the adrenalin rush from all that hyperactivity and screeching fades off I think KBox is just an utter waste of time where after the 2-7p.m. session, you leave and you see the sun's already down and a day is gone.
We could have had an adrenalin rush of the other sort; only if the weather forecast had been more accurate. We did feel cheated as we felt the sun's heat upon us. But, we did get quite a shock too because we heard thunder. Weird weather.
"So weird. Thunder in this weather."
"Ya, if it starts snowing, then it's 世界末日already."
"Let that happen in......the years after we die.""Ya, maybe 70 years later?"
"You wanna live to such an old age?!"Lol, I think you'll see Huiling when she's all old and cranky at the ripe old age of 90.
hateants
Work was pretty relaxing today.
My room just got invaded by ants, minutes ago. I hope they're completely wiped out now.
Eh no, I still see 1 or 2 around here and there. :(
Did I tell you how much I hate ants? Btw, I just killed a couple more. Yes, I'm merciless when it comes to ants.
I met Miss Lim again on my way home. We even took the same bus and she was only a seat away from mine. What a coincidence. I didn't say hi if you were wondering. She'll freak out having not seen me in, 8 years? As I'm blogging, I've already killed 4 more ants.
I'm excited about Fri's plans. But I don't know if I can go yet. Haha.
Stupid ants.
I want to get a pair of black shorts. :) There are now 7 dead ants on my table.
Anyway, a little overdue. This one's for you Steph.
But I think the cartoonYZ looks better than humanYZ. Damn.
I don't know what it's about.
Oh no.It'll be a short week with Fri as a public holiday.
I think it's a vicious cycle, that, that thing... =x
I did the math.
If I CAN complete all that practical stuff within 25 sessions, taking it all during peak hours, it'd cost me a friggin' $2006.25.
Advice, anyone?
She's back!
My aunt's back! :)
We almost missed picking her up because I misread 2050 as 10.50p.m. =x
So we quickly changed and my dad
sped all the way there. I held a tight grip (on my seat and the other on the door) for dear life.
Really. My dad's driving can be so horrible at times. It felt as if the car would be taking off into the air any moment. At that point, I resolute to get the licence in the shortest time possible so that I'd be the one driving instead. I was seriously seriously freaking out for that whole 30+ minutes in that car as I had my eye on both the road and the speedmeter, which read nothing less than 80km/hr to 110km/hr.
Throat hurt real bad and Mum kept feeding me with fries as we waited for my aunt.
We needn't have rushed there cuz she was still busy getting perfume/makeup and all...She bought sooooo many
冒牌 LeSportsac bags cuz she said they're really cheap. And the workmanship's better than the other imitations we see here.
Aiights, I don't know where I left my CoffeeBear Keychain! :(
RESULTS!
YES!I see a
new GPA for my final semester and
I love it. :)
I think when I get my result slip by post, I'll kiss it.
HAHA.
My 5 months there haven't been spent in vain.
updates!
Poor small jie didn't turn up for work today again because the doc and her mum ordered "2 days of rest!"
So I had a quick lunch alone yesterday; and I was done with it just a little under 15 minutes. I even finished my fries! But the coke's left untouched except for 2 sips. The weather's been really cold, too cold even for cold drinks. But the air-conditioner's still on every night (don't ask why).
Today, I settled lunch with a snack bar. And I spent the entire afternoon doing payments. I think I have a problem with making notes, because everytime I refer to my 密集, (don't know if I got that
ji word correct) I realise I would have missed out writing one part/ gotten the sequence wrong/ leave chunks of writings everywhere on paper/book. Sometimes it gets really stressful, (even if it's only a temp job) I wish they'd get fed up with me and ask me to pack up and leave for good. But I shall try sticking it out, yes, even if it's until July. That'd probably equate to working for my entire post-poly-yrs holiday. On the good side however, I can expect to see a steady stream of numbers on the deposit column of my bank book. ;) But again, extrinsic rewards like these doesn't satisfy me, I think, at least not more than the intrinsic ones I get from peaceful, stress-free days.
Somtimes at work, I get slightly frustrated and start to think if I'd really be able to survive doing accts for a living. THEN! I'll start to think of alternatives, and my options available when someday I can't stand doing accts anymore and switch jobs.
Ok, I digressed. But, Growing Up's just slightly scary, isn't it?
I really need to get down to vaccuming the floor tomorrow. It's getting too messy even I can't stand it.
Results will be out tomorrow. Rather, today. Good luck everyone!
This other temp in the office had the same top on today.
We stared at each other for a while and went "Hey!"
Temp uniforms. I might just leave that blouse in a hidden corner in my wardrobe, just for a while.
I see the dates on the calendar and I go slightly haywire.
I'm already counting down to
7 Apr :)Final sem's results will be out on 14 Mar, Fri.
Don't know how I'll fare, so, *fingerscrossed*
Just worked up something in me to say "hi" to a friend I haven't talked to in 6 years, online.
Classmates all through pri sch years; it's heartening to know she's doing fine and all. That's a new-year resolution I've kept then - to re-befriend my then-best friend.
I've been keeping up late nights, online, just moping around. I shall
try to sleep earlier for the rest of this week.
Aunt's gone to China. I'm gonna miss her a little when she's not around. I think I haven't tried not having her around at home while I am. Feels just a teenie bit weird. =s
Should I go find a private instructor for driving lessons, or should I just sign up for the school's?
Suggestions, anyone?
Yesterday, I was like that:
Today;
I passed my BTT! Okay, not a big deal but the whole time after I clicked on the "complete test" button I prayed I won't see a big fat "FAILED" on the screen.
I hope I get to drive soon! -toot toot!- =D
STUPID YZ
Stupid, Lazy YZ.I'm such a mess.
The day hasn't been kind.
-I stumbled upon stuffs I shouldn't probe into (yes,
thank you google and blog links! yoohoo.)
-I screwed up real bad at piano; if there's anything more embarrassing than not knowing how to play your scales properly, it's got to be seeing that look of disappointment.
-Something's terribly wrong with my camera! My aunt needs it for the trip, and she's flying on Tues. Wonderful.
-And I realised someone's got THE LICENCE. Makes it even harder for me to stomach all the crap I've had today.
My blood's boiling. I'm fed up WORLD! I really am.
It's been a week of coincidences. I met people I haven't seen in years all in a week;
Wednesday - Met a prisch teacher, Miss Lim, at the busstop on the way home.
Thursday - Met a sec sch teacher (cai mama) at the NEL station on the way to work.
Friday - Met a sec sch classmate (cass) on the bus to work.
Today - Met Fang on the bus on the way to SMU open house. (Ok, for Fang, I
haven't not seen her in years. =x)
Work was horrible yesterday. My worst so far. Did 3 hours of OT because I couldn't complete my stuffs on time. I just cranked up real bad.
I've been whining about something to the girls, and I hope it's just me worrying too much about something that's not even happening.
(to whoever I whined to, please don't tag on my board about that. Don't know if said person reads my blog still...) Well, that is if you do know what I'm talking about...
Nope, not that many "schools of fish" @ SMU like my aunt said. Haha. But, indeed, there were some cute guys around. By some, I meant T.W.O. Was a bit taken aback when Stephie turned to tell me that the student who was attending to us both's "quite cute". =) Won't deny that.
Mr. Securityguard-cum-lift-attendant was quite cute too! He looks like a student; but they wouldn't have asked a student to really put on the security guard uniform just for open house right? Plus, he sounded real innocent,
"I also don't know! The two pressed (the lift button) at the other level, what was I supposed to do!?"Lol.
Finally ate at Miss Clarity's Cafe. They had really big servings; I felt like a fat pig having downed almost five-eighths of it. The strawberry ice-cream tasted quite like cough syrup. =x But Ben&Jerry's would've cost $3 more. =.=
Did some catching up with Stephie and time flies when we're having fun!
And I just got to know 8th March is 三八-妇女节!
Who would've thought.......Some things just gets me really depressed; what I used to like is now such a chore. It's gone, for now and not for good I hope.
The Leap Years wasn't too bad, though much details were left out. I wonder if I squealed as much in the past like those girls in the theatre - it kinda got on my nerves.
Yesyes, run and cook.With my eyes fixed on the comp at work all day, the figures get blurry after a while.
I've got 5 mosquito bites from the "mini botanic garden" outside China Square. Yes, beloved "mini botanic garden". I've just got additions from almost every other day! Great!
Sat's wedding dinner was, different.
People quarreled, food was insufficient, and the emcees were downright lousy.
She said, " 早生贵子". He said, "morning life expensive children" or something akin to that. I swore we almost spat food out of our mouths. As if direct translation wasn't bad enough, wishing newly weds "expensive children" is not exactly fantastic. Get it?
There's a stretch to walk to office from Raffles MRT.
clickclack!clickclack! That's what I hear from Mon to Fri, and I'm getting sick of it. Some OLs have really terrible stuck-up faces; makes me wonder if they really are what they look like, or if there's anything more behind that facade.
People at work have been nice, if you were wondering. I haven't got my routine up, everything's so misplaced. I need constant reminders because there's just so much going on. They don't just credit my bank account $____ monthly for nothing you know.
The weekend's coming! Yay!
