i wanted to sleep not even halfway through work. haha~ but wai xing ren was there so i cannot slack or whatever. today auntie was really nice to me, she helped me to ask the manager for a break when the time was up because i didnt dare to just in case wai xing ren scolds me or something. yep, then she offered to help me with service. really glad bout that, cos in the past she is always the one ordering me to do service. yeaaaa. haha.

im not in a very good mood today, all thanks to my very "dear" 外星人 (a given nickname by siew! :D) both of us got scolded today by 外星人, then im quite buay song, think siew was also quite BS also. -.-" if i start elaborating, i think i will never end. :) yup, in order to cheer myself up, i went to starbucks to buy a grande mocha frappucino! and i was still wearing my coffee bean uniform, but i cant be bothered too much. i LOVE mocha frappucino! especially those from starbucks. ;D

siew also told me bout a quiz from blogthings, something which i find quite interesting. WHAT DOES MY BIRTHDATE MEAN? ya, that's interesting isnt it! at least i think so. SO I WENT TO TAKE IT!

Your Birthdate: August 31

You're a pretty traditional person. If it's lasted, it's probably good.

You seek stability - both in your career and your romantic relationship.

In return, you're very loyal and predictable. Which is usually a good thing.

Without a partner, you feel lost. Being with someone is very important to you.

Your strength: Your dependability

Your weakness: You hate being alone

Your power color: Midnight blue

Your power symbol: Shell

Your power month: April

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

yup! i think it's accurate to a very large extent! but i dont know whether im traditional or not, traditional as in what sense? bah, whatever la. :)

luckily tmr is my off-day, then i dont have to see 外星人, but siew still have to see her for 4 hours tmr! poor thing, hope 外星人not having mood swing tmr. yea, should be going to visit siew tmr for break, cos she visited me on friday~ :D repay her good deed. ahahhaa. im waiting for cafelatte to come online so as to 诉苦to him. im going off~ OFF-DAY~

took this blood type test on blogthings.com and i ended up with my own bloodtype! haha, this means that im behaving like how my bloodtype should behave eh. :D

You Have A Type B+ Personality

You're a pro at going with the flow

You love to kick back and take in everything life has to offer

A total joy to be around, people crave your stability.

While you're totally laid back, you can have bouts of hyperactivity.

Get into a project you love, and you won't stop until it's done

You're passionate - just selective about your passions

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

this test is quite interesting, with many other interesting tests. shall take them another day, my mum is nagging for me to go and sleep already! :(

my arms are pretty tired, i think it was from the sudden flood of ice-blended orders. darn tired! and after that, still had to clean up and all, now i feel how siew fong must have felt. but im happy working! all my colleagues are nice ppl and i like the flexible working hours at coffee bean. hahahhaa~ today got to know 3 other colleagues: Mas, Nura and Azak(?). Azak(?)'s the part-time manager and he was from BP too! he told me sim meng hoe was once his track and field mate! interesting, how the world seems so small sometimes. :)

let's see now..
tmr i would be going for the whatever injection that im supposed to get to work in the F&B industry, and the day after im going to see that bloody VP regarding my drop-out before going for work. im quite reluctant to see that VP, i really would rather see the P cos i think she's a thousand times nicer. -_- but anyhoo, after dropping out, i dont need to see the bloody VP again~ :D other than missing my friends like mad, i dont think i will ever miss anything else. im sure speculators will have one or two more outings(we are always speculating, and not getting down to having the outing!). im going for training in december, then i gotta take this test after the training. yea, working at coffee bean also have to take test, so peeps, appreciate those coffee bean workers who are serving you nxt time eh!

still got a lot of things to learn at coffee bean, glad that my colleagues are there to help. :)

first day at coffee bean! wasnt all that bad towards the end of my shift even though i did make some horrible mistakes. there were times when i didnt know what i was doing! fortunately the manager + the others were always there to remind me and catch my attention before i pour something into where it shouldnt be. >_< i think liana, wan and this other guy are very nice. i dunno his name la, forgot to ask. he tried teaching me how to spray whipped cream. but it turned out to be quite a disaster. :P oh well, i think im getting better at whipping whipped cream already! hahahahaha :D

anyway, thinking of taking 2 off-days and work the rest of the days. if i were to take 3 off days, my pay would really be quite pathetic la. haha~ yeaaaah. im so damn tired, think im going to sleep quite well tonight.

i havent learnt how to make the hot drinks yet. only know how to make the ice-blended stuff. i think i like making the ice-blended stuff. :D maybe i'll get to learn how to make hot expresso and stuff tmr. -_-" ok, i shall update till here. im so tired!! >_<

(SHIANe,8:33 PM)

going to start work later at 10am! actually im quite nervous, because i really have no idea what is going to happen later. im going to get a stomachache again! didnt eat anything after 1pm yesterday and now im having a stomachache? i dont think there is anything left in my stomach except the HCL eroding my stomach. -_-"

somebody saaaaaaave me~
but i cant wait to see my bank account exceed 100 again. ONE MONTH LATER.

yes! PW is finally over~ after one year of slogging over this thing, it was over in merely 2 hours plus. i think we did not bad overall. BAND ONE! :P

right after PW, gladis xiuwen and me went to causeway point to celebrate, but it wasnt much of a celebration. ate our dear students' meal at yoshinoya. i think yoshinoya is really nice! to think that the first time i ate yoshinoya was like late last year, i wasnt (and still am not) very updated about restaurants. and i only heard of MOS burger when one outlet opened in bp plaza! wahahaha. ANYWAY, we spent some time in metro walking around and looking at stuff. i think the toys section is very interesting~ gladis bought cluedo O_o i have no idea how to play cluedo although i remember playing it once in primary school. looks like a game which requires a lot of brainpower, cos you have to find out the murderer and weapon and all.. -_-

went to check out handphones and plans with my mum at bp plaza. there are no phones which i really like at the moment, so i shall stick with w550. i didnt expect N93 to be THAT bulky la! it's just like the phone which this friend of shin(goong) used to video-cam every single thing down. nokia doesnt really have nice phones because they are more catered for professionals. im a LOYAL FAN OF SONY ERICSSON. -_-

the all new w950i. damn wide.

w850i

haha these are the 2 phones which i saw just now which looked quite interesting to me. but then hor, the price is also very interesting. yeaaah. picture credits from http://sonyericsson.com.
ya, tmr im going to start work! WHO WANTS TO GO AND VISIT ME WHEN U'RE DAMN BO LIAO CAN DO SO! haha.

listening to sissel's summer snow now. first heard of this song through the japanese drama "summer snow" starring tsuyoshi domoto and hirosue ryoko. a very sad jap drama, and anyone who's interested can catch it at youtube if you search under "summer snow japan drama". anyway, finally heard the song "because i'm a girl" by Kiss and saw the musc video! i think the music video is really touching laaaa, and the golden retriever near the end of the video is cute! i love golden retrievers~~ :)

this is the link to "because im a girl" 's video:
http://www.youtube.com/v/Kc11JCub3EM

heard from siew fong just now that im going to start work on tuesday at 10am! that's really fast, the day after the OP exam. i feel pissed off everytime i think of the incomplete pink form! i really have to get the signature by next week. -_-" hope i can get the teacher! AJA! :D
today was supposed to go for dinner at JP pizza hut with LOG, but im seriously trying not to freak out and break out in cold sweat at home. to say the truth, my feet is very cold now! and my stomach doesnt feel right(i get stomachaches everytime im really nervous). i hope i dont go nuts before i even go to school. :P

yup, the year is going to come to an end soon~ i cant wait for the countdown to 2007~ :D

(SHIANe,9:55 PM)

it's 3am already and yet im still awake! actually i should have gone offline long ago, but i decided to come back again. :D

been composing the score for our class's stomp performance the past hour or so. after trying to so hard, i have come up with only 8 bars of score for around 5 - 6 different instruments. NOW I THINK MUSICIANS ARE GENIUSES, musicians as in mozart, beethoven, those that actually compose scores for gazillion instruments in a band or an orchestra. either they are geniuses or they are SIAO DING-DONGS. composing a score and coordinating between different instruments is really damn hard! and mine is just a percussion score! i composed my score on the floor in front of my bedroom entrance, i think the fengshui there is better.

the floor ended up like this:

that's my composed score on the black clipboard, my band scores in the lime green file and my "Friends of Ngee Ann" orange pencil-case. i think if i were to continue composing, the floor would become much worse! actually im planning to go down to mac's cos it's 24 HOURS ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS! but im just so lazy, and besides, im afraid that i might get robbed on my way to bp plaza. :P IM STILL NOT DONE WITH COMPOSING!!

OP coming up on monday! still not in the nervous mood yet, but i'll definitely panic starting tmr morning. i guess i really need more practice, and crack my brain to think of the answers to the questions that we brainstormed. what a headache, im really sick of doing PW la! i guess everyone feels as sick as me, so really must 加油 for this last lap~ after OP, i have decided to go and work at coffee bean with siew fong! but still gotta get a jab first.. one of my worse nightmares would be jabs. -_-" but i guess i just have to go and get this stupid jab before i can start work. AND i need to get that bloody signature from that PE head laaaa! ARGH. without that signature i cannot complete the form!!~~

IM GOING TO KBOX ON 23RD NOV. :D :D

P.S i have finally discovered how to use the bluetooth function! the picture above was sent via bluetooth~ 真开心！nxt time i dont have to go and take my USB cable from the bedroom before plugging it into the stupid comp. :D the importance of CONVENIENCE.

yea, i had a change of blogskin again. i mean, this time, i really didnt intend to change it. but i found out that min hui has the same blogskin as me! hehe. in order not to have a clash of blogskins, i decided to change to this. it's by the same blogskin maker, so the style is quite similar.

anyway, spent the whole day rotting at home in front of the comp. watched xiao min's recommendation: My Girl. i didnt find the first episode exceptionally nice, but oh well. after that it became quite nice. storyline runs along the line of MNIKSS and full house, but it's still nice! :) i think lee dong wook and lee joon ki are so cute! yep, im starting episode 4 nxt time i come online.

i still need to go to school tmr!! for the stupid OP thingie. i cant wait for it to be over in a couple days' time! yep, and after that, i dont have to worry bout so much things already. once the dropping out is settled, my mind can finally be at ease.

i hate to worry!

im sucha shopaholic! went to bugis today, and to me,
bugis = shop x shop = shop^2 = shopping + shopping = shopping x 2 = (shop + ping) x 2

nvm bout the above crap. but really, bugis is a nice place to shop. im a person who cant really window-shop because i find it such a torture. in the end, i end up spending so much. i shall not elaborate too much because the details are painful.
yea, went to bugis because my mother wanted to go to the temple to pray. sis and i waited outside, and it was raining so damn heavily! :( i got wet even with the umbrella, because i was busy trying to shield my sis with the umbrella. i am a great sister la, admit it! :P

after that, we went to walk ard the shops in bugis village before going to bugis junction. i always mess up bugis junction and junction 8. sheesh! dunno why i keep confusing the both of them. ya, this is the first time i walked ard bugis junction thoroughly. there are a lot of cool shops there(i think). i really shopped till i almost went mad. i really like some of the bags sold there, and the shirts too. if i got loads of money, i would have bought so many things i need a taxi to get home. :x ya, i have the hidden talent as a shopaholic! this isnt good, i need to throw away this hidden talent.

yep, had dinner at bangkit. we went there to buy hamster food for my dear hamsters. saw some nice shoes in the shoe shop, but they didnt have my size! 3 shops somemore! BIGFOOT SHIAN! another talent of mine: big feet! i really hate my big feet man. find it so hard to look for shoes!
after dinner, off we go to bp plaza. the shoes there do not have my feet size too! -____-" terrible. i think i will continue on my search for shoes after OP! arrrrrghhh.

going over to gladis's hse later! almost the whole of speculators will be going! that's quite a miracle~ :D

went to check out a quiz. see, there is still an introvert side to me. :)

You Are 60% Extrovert, 40% Introvert

You are quite outgoing
You are a social connector - you know a ton of people
While you aren't a wild extrovert, you are a great talker
A fantastic storyteller, you keep everyone laughing

Are You An Extrovert or An Introvert?

yay there is no school tmr! that is the best news ever for this week~ :D

anyway, was released really early from school today and ji sun, se ying and me went for lunch together at yoshinoya j8. we walked aimlessly ard J8 after that before deciding to go to se ying's hse. i played gunbound and won a couple of games! im still a noob lor, really got to get back my touch of gunbound lost over a year ago. :x yep, then we went to play badminton! quite fun la, provided that there is no wind. i really perspired a lot from playing, then the soles of my feet were quite painful again, cos im adding on to the pain i have already felt since last night.

we went to walk ard this town centre place and had chocolate ice-cream. i really love eating ice-cream! :D yeah, then it was like 50 cents each for a cone. cheeeeaaaaap! yup, then we went back to se ying's hse and ji sun and me decided to go home. the bus ride to yishun was so long, then i was really sleeping like some stupid fool on the bus. my mouth was open and i kept nodding off to my right. upon reaching yishun bus interchange, changed to 171. so many ppl lor! peak hour. i hate peak hour periods. the bus was so crammed with ppl! damn irritating. was very relieved to finally alight at bukit panjang.

i was locked out of the hse somemore! luckily my brother came home with his girlfriend, or else i would be locked till daylight or something. :x
yeah, that's all i have to say. OP exam is coming up on monday! SHIIIIIT.

(SHIANe,7:54 PM)

had our first 37/06 class outing! but out of 20 ppl, less than half turned up: yuzhe, joanne, joleen, shini, se ying, gladis, xiuwen, jisun, me. quite pathetic, but i guess we enjoyed ourselves generally la. had steamboat at marina! i dont understand how anyone can ever dislike steamboat + bbq at marina. but apparently xiu wen dislikes it. :x
i think i did more cooking than eating, but oh well. the squid was nice! the black pepper was not as nice as the chilli one. :D

the bbq thingie really got my face and hair oily, and i swear i smelt of chao ta and bbq after everything. after washing our faces, xiu wen and me went to the arcade to cool ourselves. watched this guy dance the para para dance paradise whatever it is called. ok la, entertainment level 7 out of 10. wow, you should have seen the next guy dance! those 2 guys were from the same group of friends who were actually sitting at the table nxt to ours. damn it man! that guy's entertainment level was 9.5 out of 10 la! his dance moves were so darn exaggerated! dance one para para also must dance until so drama? sheeeeesh. i guess ji sun also agrees that the guy is over-dramatic. -_-"

after eating, in order for us to digest, we actually walked all the way from the zheng fa steamboat place all the way to the marina bay mrt station! the distance was very long and we found it quite creepy. saw loads of snails and cockroaches along the way, then the pathways were really quite scary, especially when the trees and forestry were very close to us. the topics which joleen and joanne they all talked about basically revolved around the topic of death. quite creepy la. then when we had almost reached the marina bay mrt station, saw the mediacorp peeps filming some show. couldnt recognise the actor or the actress. -_- whatever la. was just so tired after all the walking and all i wanted was to get into the mrt train and sit down.

yeaaaaa. now im home and i was supposed to think up of questions for the Q & A tmr. but i have only thought up of 2. i seriously want to sleep already. ok then, off i go.

(SHIANe,12:45 AM)

Sunday, November 05, 2006

i think today had been a very uninteresting day. i had set my hp alarm to ring at 8am, and instead of me waking up, my sis woke up. i woke up almost 2 hours later! im sucha heavy sleeper, cant stand myself sometimes. but nvm la, 10am is already quite early compared to other weekends when i can sleep up to 3pm! >_<

spent the whole day quite meaningless-ly, until a couple of hours when i started writing my script for the OP rehearsal tmr. quite sick and tired of it. one thing that im scared of is the possibility that i may not be able to answer certain questions which mr seow fires at me. guess i have to prepare questions and answers for myself. possible Q & A's!

ya, as i have said, today had been an uninteresting day, therefore there is nothing interesting to update on. hurhurhur.

(SHIANe,8:39 PM)

Friday, November 03, 2006

had the chinese a's today, wasnt a really tough paper i guess. i mean the paper was manageable, but i think the cai liao zuo wen is quite hard to expand upon because it was more like a wan cheng wen zhang rather than cai liao zuo wen. i finished paper 2 ard 20 minutes earlier and i tried sleeping, but the temperature in the room was really too cold! i still felt quite cold even after i had walked out of school.

we went to NYP for lunch, and se ying and me went to gladis's hse! all 3 of us think that today is a suay day. lol~ once we stepped out of the MRT train, it started drizzling.. then it started raining really heavily. so we had to take 302 and still cross the road to gladis's hse in the rain. went to rent "helen the baby fox" and walked a few blocks to our destination. se ying and me stayed awake throughout the movie while gladis slept! but not bad la, gladis woke up just in time to see the credits of the movie. haha~ we watched nu ren zui da and yu le bai fen bai until 6pm.

after that we went to eat dinner at lot one mac's and met hong lao shi waiting for her "friend". chatted about a lot of things over our filet-o-fish student's meals! yea, then walked ard lot one. im thinking of buying a new bag and some new clothes, but im broke all over again. the feeling of always being broke is really shitty! really have to go and earn some money leh. :(

now the nxt major exam will be the OP. after that it will be freedom~~ then there is the AJE meeting nxt week for excos. boring man, the meeting is going to last for an hour. T_T

(SHIANe,11:46 PM)
