its 12.43 am now..
i should be sleeping now..really should be sleeping now..why am i writing my bloggie?..cos i am stupid..cos i should really be sleeping now..thats the way i am..

just finished watching the waterboys drama series..really nice show..about a group of boys who are brave enough to chase and achieve their dreams of having a sycho swimming performance.. watching the show made me thought of their teamwork ..all the effort put through to achieve a common goal as well as to show others their ability in achieving wat they believe in. how many people can do that?...very often.. people are discouraged easily and tend to be influenced by other 's opinions..some people are tired of making decisions for themselves..for its too tiring trying to please the whole world and to please oneself...that they end up just conforming to other's ideas and forgoing their own dreams..majority wins...even if u give up ur ideas..nobody knows..some pple will just think that u think the same way as they do... thats sad sometimes..

went with kia dai and joan to sing ktv this afternoon.. was really excited about it..cos i have not got a proper break for a long time..although i had a couple of off days..me really wanted to let my hair down... kia dai was nice enough to ask a couple of us and plan this 'outing' and end up only me and joan can make it..at least the three who would most likely to sing their hearts out could make it. me could only sing from 3.30 to 5.30..for it was not my off day exactly and could just make use of my split shift break to relax a bit..
at the ktv lounge... i am apologetic to joan..pai seh for hogging the mike..and choosing all the songs of SHE and fish leong.. pai seh .. next time we choose more wang fei and wu bai songs and sing together ok?...me really enjoyed myself..except for the rushing around..it could have been better...singing duet with jia dai had produced amazing effects i must say for we kick off quite well... of course kia dai being a regular of the place, need no mic to amplify her beautiful voice..haha.. we all had a great time !!

of course one have to give some take some..going for the karaoke meant another whole in my pocket..lucky will be getting pay soon..and the missing of my regular 3-6 o clock nap at the resturant...thats so sad!!..cos without enough sleep...as pple who know me well enough...i will become extremely temperamental...very moody and grumpy...same when i am hungry... knowing that .. iwas wise enough to keep my mouth shut the rest of the night other then when i am asking for orders...the rest of the time..i could say that i wore a black face around.. a new waiter at the place who do not know me so well very nearly stepped on my tail when he tried to play around and broke two glasses.. sadly.. when he joked that he would disappear from work tmw..without a second thought i told him to go to hell, and that left him in shock...serves him right..

in the coming weekend 2-4 of april me will be going overseas... so take care guys... keep in contact

Hi! Today is my off day! And I am glad to say I have spent it fruitfully!..considering that there were no plans made ahead of time.. me manage to catch up with some friends in this short period of time!

>LOST<
It took me quite some time to drag myself off the bed this morning..for its been a real long time that I have been allow to sleep in late..but I had to wake up cos I had to collect a collegue’s uniform from his house at eleven.. as those who knows me well enough..me is a ‘lu4 chi1’..meaning..no sense of direction..so I often end up lost or in the wrong direction. Supposed to ride my trusty blue Disney bike to my friend;s place which is at blk 257..but could..cos I rode in the opp direction on the correct street..and even though I had a street directory with me..yes..a Singapore street directory to help me find my way..me somehow managed to mistake yumin pri was pasir sec and lost my way in the winding streets of tampines … but never fear..cos I nvr panic..cos I know I would find my way..its just the matter of time.. and when I found it at last..i realized that had I took a correct turn earlier…I would have saved 20 mins of cruising around tampines..the worst is yet to come..for on my way back home…me took a wrong turn..or should I say..i could not remember where I came from and took and unknown route and ended up at st 22 near tamp 201…that was farther then I thought..and I ended up in front of my primary school which I have not seen for years but actually dreamed of just that previous night! Creepy! and I was playing net ball with my sec 3 classmates in the dream at the badminton court…

>FOUND<
After reaching home safely.. me went for a nap ..not before calling joan for a chat..for I know she is the only not emplyed now..and we planning to go for lunch and shopping before she meet her friend for a movie..after shopping I was to meet Eunice to pass her a comic book and Frisbee to lend her…unfortunately..me forgot the Frisbee and had to make a trip home once more to get the frisbee ..before meeting joan..that was traveling back and fro the same route six times that afternoon. After an afternoon of shopping for clothes that are very zihui and very joan..me went home meeting shu hui and chen zhen on the way ..when I reached home…i receiveda call from Eunice to meet at the mrt station when I just up down my bag in the living room…arhh…that’s another trip down to the mrt station again….up and down again.. this time me invited Eunice to my house!..where on the way we met Irene!!..wat coincidence …at my house we had a good chat..a really sour plum and tic tac toe with rosie on the computer and e maths qns solving for rosie as well.. before sending eunice home..afterwhich I called peiyu to catch up on old times…ah..
>MORAL OF THE STORY<

life is short and despite working..which is necessary for some of us to keep us occupied and keep us warm and full..there must still be time up aside for family and friends.. this morning I had been really sad for I complained that all my friends are working and none of them having a same off day as me ..so that we can go out. I saw no point in going shopping alone and aimlessly even though I am terrible free and feeling rich.. but sometime when we do make an effort things can turn out in real great!
Me managed to catch up with Joan Eunice , Irene, pei wen., peiyu, shuhui chen zhen and even rosie ..today alone…which makes me really happy! For I am glad to see old friends again and know that they and the others are doing well… at least we have each other to listen to our complains right? ..hehe..the only sacrifice is probly the bicycle trips I had to make up and down from the station to my house today…total ten times in one day!...now my legs are aching and me slid and fell into some mud puddle out of carelessness… other than that..the day was a beautiful one

its not just about updating your friends on wat u have been doing and thinking..but updating and reminding yourself who u are and what u have been doing..
saves u the trouble of trying to find a secret place for ur diary and trying to find that place after u have forgotten about it..train u to be tactful and encourage to be open as well as considerate and mindful of the powers of media ..

i am troubled...
by wat course i want to go to in ntu...accountacy..business..media and design or arts and social science...the rest of the courses are not applicable either becos i have no interest in them or that i cannot take them becos of my results...wat to do..i feel like just throwing a dice to see which of the courses i should choose...dun give a damn about career prospects..or future employment rates..or the difficulty of the course or the requirement of the school and where the rest of my friends are going.....and another problem..hostel life...something i have got to face sooner or later...either i go to one..where i am known and will be recognised ..or that i go some where else where i have to start all over again...

changes are always scary..and sometimes thats why i dun want to let go...

made up my choice..have verified my admission

in ntu -1. accountacy 2. business 3. economics
in nus -1. arts and social science

dun ask me.. why..me never though abt putting accountacy down as first choice..but i was thinking ..why not...

hello there again pple..its been a real looonng period sinced i blogged... a few pple actually noticed that i have not been updating.. thanks guys.. shows that u are actually check out my blog.. haha...

actually as some of you have known..me have went back to the previous resturant to work..yap the one i have been complaining about before i quit..but now i am back...with one of the reasons that one of the other boss asked me to go back.. well to the hell with the other horrible boss..me just ignore his existence now whenever he visits the resturant..and will give him my own special treatment when he orders...haha..that is to process it real slooooww ..so that he will wait for his food...not like last time..when ever he orders something..all other orders will be disrupted... hate it when the other customers have to wait extra long for their food when it is already very slow in the kitchen... but now i am back in the old place... life is back to normal...except that now there is a new manager and a new captain..hehe..and i am the only 'full' time waitress there...and so ..i do not need to answer to anybody or ask anyone anything..cos i know almost everything at the back of my hands..and best of all ...all my great collegues are still there...some leaving these few days..but we promised to keep in contact.. me will remain there to wait and see how long the rest can survive....

When to NTU open house today..my helpful brother and cousin was nice enough to bring me around..and even accompany through a few talks..although he fell asleep from the very beginning...but then i must say..me quite sad..cos most of my classmates going NUS arts and social sciences....somewhere i cannot fit in at all..
i have a limited no of choices i know...considering my finacial background, my results, my interests and the subjects i had took in jc..the decision is not really tough...it only boils down to ntu business or accountancy or the school of media and design...
this new school which will be starting in ntu next year is really gonna bbe an interesting course to all ntu students.. i am hoping i can get a minor in it..for when i went to the talk...i got all excited..really dun laugh....cos when you hear the course outline of the school..you will be amazed...i was..for just foundations alone in year one..you will learn about the ethics of media, history of architecture....how to start portflio...and a lot of really really nice stuff...i think its a really nice course...you may even learn how to design animations, computer games which are not just rpg..but that of a wider level and that you will learn to design toys are interactive and innovative...and maybe design clothings for the future..a lot of real cool stuff..and all these under the guidance of the professor who himself have traveld the world in as a designer and set up many schools of design as well...
but one must be willing to commit and be willing to take the risk as well as this is indeed a new course and everything is still being planned.. the thing is that each person will have to go of a 15 minute audition..in which u can do anything u want to do to show the pple your creativity..
wat really interest me is the intergrating of arts , design and media into out daily lives...to look at things from another pt of perspective and come up with more creative ideas. the course will not be using tools to create works of art like in the engineering workshop or art workshop..but using your own creativity to create stuff..no longer will there be limitations.. just u and your mind..and one must have that courage to step into that course...for only with that..the courage that u have the passion and creativity and risk taking ..can u do this course..

The news is out…A level resultd will be out on the 5 of march…this Friday..
This afternoon..my phone was flooded with msgs like…results will be out..blah..can collect at 2,30…how.?..very stressed..how..i dun want to collect..so shity…and so and so..
I wonder to myself…hmm..do u think that any last minute praying will cause the black inked F on the result slip to dissolve and vanish and return as an A?..hmm I dun think so..soo..i got nothing to say..but..just wait and see wat happens on Friday..all the best to everyone though!!

How I spent my Monday - long lost freedom never felt sweeter..slept in until eleven and spent the rest of the day with my mom doing facial and visiting my other aunt…

How I spent my Tuesday – went out with joan ..meet at 2.30 to watch girl with the pearl earing..had dinner with her at breeks..visited yingling there also…had an argument with joan..haha..not really an argument.. just a heated up conversation over dinner which is quite amusing..cos its been a long time since we did something like that.. how many chances in life do u have, to be able to have a friend who thinks differently from you and announces it and readily debates with you to the state that u are almost on the verge of boxing her for her ideas which you simply do not agree with and approve of..of course …she would had wanted to hit me too..but we know each other too well..cheers to you Joan! till next time..over dinner…but next time I choose the restaurant ok?
And ..how can I forget?...the post card writing affair over dinner… borrowing pens and markers from ying ling and Daniel to accomplish our feat of more than 10 postcards I think…we had quite an amt of fun..first we started by just writing to Eunice..half way though the dinner..i was bored again and continued on the second card to gunni and defacing joan’s cards with expressions of ‘coldness whenever she wrote something lame....and joan follow on…when I started on the third card as I simply cannot stuff down anymore fruits and puddings…me and joan started to have a written ‘conversation’ unanimously and had a very silent dinner for the rest of the evening , passing cards to and fro and using (J) and (z) to indicate who says what one the cards…and out came the stack of cards amidst the occasional giggle and snorting by each of us and tearing at the other party so as to snatch back the card to add a comment….ok…it really looked like two crazys who were not there to enjoy dinner buffet that costed twenty bucks each…but we both agreed…the food wasn’t that great but me and joan had fun.. :-P

How I spent my Wednesday (today) - I realized..when I am in a good mood..i actually like to write my blog..not like last time..which I did only when I was in a not very good mood…mostly to complain…but now..me blog..cos ..hmm..to complain also…so that when I look back into my entries in the future..i am able to see wat like of person I was like in the past and also learn that things happen everyday..no point hanging on to things that u are unhappy about..just blog them..know that they are at least somewhere not forgotten, and need not hold grudges..now I look back the past job experiences I had… I feel sort of lucky to have learnt so much things..met so much pple..good or bad..things that cannot be learnt at school…

Today..me woke up at eleven again..cos that is the time my mom leaves the house for work and she makes sure I wake up at least by eleven at least for lunch ..or else I would prob wake up for the next meal dinner…haha..and that happened before cos there was no one to wake up the pig of the family..
After breakfast..i mean lunch..me went downstairs to buy straits time..to see got any job vacancies ..ok to cut the long story short..cos I think I am becoming draggy.. me found a job!...its at emeritus mandarin hotel..some jap restaurant …yap..supposed to give be a confirmation by saturaday..but the guy called be at about 5.30 to confirm the pay and the time I am suppose to report for work tmw..suppose to turn up in white blouse and black skirt and white socks and black shoes…cos they may not have a uniform my size..and the uniform is a kimono…hehe gonna be so fun!!…wonder if out my size..but gonna wear black converse shoes tmw..not exactly the proper black shoes I think I am expected to wear… but who cares…

You are Charlie Brown!


Which Peanuts Character are You?

*giggle*..i am charlie brown??!!##??

hello again...hows life pple...as some of you may know..me just quitted my waitressing job at watami ..that was like..last's night matter. i had gotten my pay on the 28 of feb..and so 'luckily'..the sucky boss which i have tolerated for a very long time scolded me and my friend for some tiny matter on the 29 of fed...which he did on the top of his voice until the whole resturant could hear, just becos he could not vent his anger on the other more senior staff working there..he thinks his part time staff are block heads that will continue to work there for him after he makes the statment that they are all dumb and that their service is like shit...who will want to continue to work for a boss who treats u like a dog and kick you around for fun and whenever he is not in a good mood. scolding the staff including the manager in front of your guests, your wife, your six kids, and commenting on their stupidity is simply the last straw one can take...most of the staff gave their two weeks notice yesterday for resignment, while me, the most lucky one being a part timer could just pack my bag and leave since i did not sign any contract...of course i finished wat i was paid to do...since i took the pay already

if not for the boss..i would have continued to work there..but hey since everyone is leaving sooner or later..why not make a move first..since the results are coming out soon..can make use of the break to settle of the bits and pieces of preparation for U... and of course spend more time with my family and friends...
but how can i forget the great bunch of friends i have made over there...

-clare - the captain, like a sister and mother to me..me being one of the few pple over there who can understand and stand her ways...haha...will always remember our days when we went to sushi lunch buffet twice in three days..sushi don for the chopstick flinging tuna sashimi..and jaw dropping lunch at ichban boshi at the esplanade...and of course our chocoholic days when we both get real moody and stuff ourselves with family-size choc bars and cups of hot choc and coffee..

-zhongwei gege- the ever chubby kitchen boy who is always raped by the gay chefs of the kitchen. and always teased by others to be in a relationship with any female staff..even the dishwasher aunty..

-ernest papa the sushi chef-the papa who looks like a japanese and is strict with his daughters, me and clare..but melts immediately when ever we call him papa and prepares his daily morning coffee for him..he is also the one who pain stakingly teach the waitress and waiters the japanese names of the fish and also the one who have to stand all our nonsense and stupid questions...and always happy to receive the cartoons i draw for him to bring home to his real daughter to colour..

-roland ah kong- the main chef..some one who is 50 years old but still cool enough to mix around with his 'grand daughters' to sushi buffets...prepare tempura icecreams for us...go for ten dollar hair cuts with us at marina square..take us to expensive sushi restuarant for lunch to show us real jap crusine...sit at starbucks for coffee with papa and us and even go with me to breadtalk and marketplace to buy bread and coffee...haha..

-jack and ah wah- two malaysian chefs who always rape and molest male waiters in the resturant..verbally harass female staff there...cook the best and most delicious staff meals ...and great singers of canto chinese and english pop..always trying to electricute pple with their beautiful eyes...

well to recall..there were many happy memories i had at the resturant...having met the fun loving bunch of young and old pple..going to work have never been that much fun that it doesnt seem like work... but too bad that the boss has such bad management skills...or should i say..the lack of it... it meant to be..that we will just become passerbys in each others' lives..too bad...life will go on

read the newspaper today...i'm sure if you read it..you would have noticed this quote ' some teachers make passing exams and getting good grades the only reason for learning, but our teachers show us that the reason for learning is to achieve our dreams'..i had not noticed it as an excerpt only until later ..but took notice of the line when i read the article...it struck me that hard that i read the line 4 times repeatedly as though i was trying to understand wat it meant but the meaning of the line had a stronger message than what it was trying to convey....
