what am i doing so late, this time in the night?...yes i wonder that myself too.
so while i am waiting to upload the document to be sent to my seniors...i will blog. am dead tired. spent more than 3 hrs trying to sketch out and figure the architecture of SIM and draw it on paper and no, vanessa is not intending to study architecture. *bitter laugh* haha...and its the third sketch i have drawn for the event cos the management keep on changing my venue...*silent bitter laugh* i think if i ever show the detailed drawings of what i have drawn of SIM, they'd probably think i am going to plan some riot or attack on the school. aye aye.
anw, for those who have no clue what was that i was gibberishing abt, Arts Fest '08 is coming! and SIM is celebrating it for the first time. Being in FPA (film and performing arts), i landed with the role of the finale event, which invites acoustic and jazz singers to our school for performances from 6pm - 10pm. yeps and you dun have to pay to listen or enter and watch. ITS FREE...plus we have invited food vendors to sell their food...rather nice food like Food For Thought (the outlet opposite Bugis Library) and A WINE APPRECIATION segment by Winebos. i have approached basically anyone and everyone of my friends to come and support eons ago le. haha..yes kan choing me. at least i wun feel bad for asking them a tad too late, if they say they cant make it. it means its fated. anw, i am sure my close friends will come. pretty sure. no no..very sure. yeap. must be confident. haha. :/
for those who are interested, it will be in SIM, 6pm-10pm. tried to upload the flyers but the colours turned out queer and ugh...yep haha. so please support if you all got time k? thanks a lot in advance!

saw my cousin there with his mummy. haha. he finished in 35mins...only because he had cramps so if he had warmed up properly, he will finish in less than 30 mins? aiyo...sians...he runs 21km in 2hr 15mins and he asked me if i am joining the standard chartered 42km run...i fainted at the sound of his qn so i didnt answer him.
Carine, Grace and I DID NOT finish LAST! hahahaha...thats the main point of this entry. ahahaah...so whatever tee shirt that lincoln was talking abt - wearing a tee shirt that says "i may be slow. But you are slower." - haha i can proclaim we three girls are FIT wear it. yays.
gg to chiong thru my Arts Fest project again...although i think i gave my stamina all to the AHM just now le...feel like taking a break from this whole event. yea i know its irresponsible. dun reprimand me =(

I am going for Avril Lavigne - THE BEST DAMN TOUR concert! WAHHOOOOO!!!! yeaps you heard me right! I. AM. GOING. TO. AVRIL. LAVIGNE'S. BEST. DAMN. TOUR. CONCERT! HAHAHA.
managed to save sufficient to spare $135/- to watch her at the indoor stadium on 7th Sept '08. haiz. wanted to get the $165 tickets but its already very heart-aching to spend $135 le. so $135 tops. haha so happy! ooo..did i mention who is going with me?? GRACE! haha. she is gonna go jump arnd with me that day. haha. we will go wild that day, yea? haha. crazier than the times we jumped arnd during girl guides campfires. haha. ooo...must remind me to bring my camera..they actually allow cameras w/o flash! but i think the pictures will be quite blur...hmmm...
no wonder people says if you have the passion for something, its the best motivation of all. Amidst of all the commotions of having to run Arts Fest '08, tutor students, study and..well mainly study, i managed to squeeze time to go for the concert! haha. i just have to la. lol. finally, i have something to look forward to apart from the finale of Arts Fest. haha. which is my event la. haha. hope it will be successful. yeps.
Got shortlisted as one of the ambassadors for SIM Open House. Guess i will have to postpone my tuition again 'cos the training is on a tuesday, lasting till 5:30pm. dun really know if i shud pass up my chance for the tuition..cos i really dun wanna touch the tuition timing...again.

GOOO Tao Li!!! yays!!!! she came in 5th!!! whee!! haha. i am so happy for her. was actually telling myself that if she came in the last, it wudnt really matter cos she will still be 8th in the entire world *beams* ahahaha..call me optimistic but it is true. you go girl!
i suppose like me, there are billions of people who have caught the Olympics fever and are keeping their eyes glued to the tv for the next match or sport event. Just saw Micheal Phelps received his 8th gold medal, and along with it, a special gold medal in a blue box to commend him on his overwhelming acheivements. well, he surely havent been a letdown, unlike Tyson Gay. sigh.
call me unpatriotic, BUT i am gonna cheer for my FAVOURITE badminton player from M'sia: LEE C W. No prizes for guessing who i was rooting for when Susilo went against Lee. and no prizes for guessing who i will be rooting tonight as well when C W faces up against Lin Dan for the gold medal match. He rawks la! ooo so excited for him. but the opponent is actuall world number one in badminton so...JIA YOU!!! will be proud of him regardless. heh heh. yes i am an ardent supporter. haha i was so glad i could catch his match against indonesia the other day at my uni, during my lunch break at the canteen. haha. Angie was cheering for Phelps and I was cheering for C W and our other friend just ate her food, oblivious to the high commotion around her. haha.
alright. just a quick update to keep my blog alive. haha. going for tuition now. ugh.
I WANNA GO FOR AVIRL LAVIGNE CONCERT!
i bet i wun find anyone to go with me as usual. sigh.
bye bye.
PS: oh yes yes kai ling...lets meet up. i will try to think of some itinerary to do. haha.

Today I made…mistakes. And the mistakes only get better, especially the last one.
Am very depressed.
Starters
My handphone battery went … FLAT.
Elaboration: I missed 3 phone calls and got bombed by 7 messages when I turned on my phone. And none are good news.
Appetizers
I forgot to attend Clarisse’s tuition.
Elaboration: And the worst part of it all was that, this lesson was a postponed lesson from another date…REQUESTED BY ME! As every good friend of mine knows, I always have a schedule book with me to keep track of all the never-ending meetings, tuition lessons, gatherings, to-do list and lectures I have. So why did I forget? Because Vanessa forgot to write it down. Why did she forget to write it down? She was crossing the road when negotiating for the postponed lesson with the mother. She did write it down, but on a separate piece of paper, which she had come to forget to transfer to her schedule book.
Soups
I changed Clarisse’s tuition back to the original timing.
Elaboration: In my anxiety to make it up to the mother, I overlapped onto another tuition, tuition A, that have caused me to change Clarisse’s tuition in the first place. I mean DUH! What was I thinking? Of course I had something on that day. That’s why I made the following arrangements to postpone IT! So I had to call and change tuition A to ANOTHER day. Currently, that tuition will be fixed on Monday, 11th Aug, while Clarisse’s tuition will be on Tuesday.
Salad Course
I realized that I have Film & Performing Arts meeting on Monday, 11th Aug..same day as tuition A. OMG.
Elaboration: At this point, I seriously couldn’t care about the meeting already. Especially when I can’t postpone the meeting. Maybe I will rush to SIM to attend it after my tuition ba. Sigh. I seriously do not want to take a cab there at 7pm with the ERP and peak hour surcharges. Yuck. Maybe I will ask my senior if my small puny presence is even required.
Main Course
I have to change tuition A again next week because it will be Clarisse’s Chinese Exam the next day.
Elaboration: I forgot all about tuition A and agreed to Clarisse’s mum that I can come on Tuesday. I am such a klutz. It was a little difficult to remember tuition A at that time of promising Clarisse’s mom ‘cos I haven even start that tuition A yet. It was something like a pending issue thingy. Well, the main reason was due to the usual reason (excuse, laziness, forgetfulness, whatever you wanna call it) that I didn’t write that tuition A down on my diary. Ugh. Actually, I had planned to postpone this tuition already. But now that I have postponed it once, it seems really bad that I want to postpone it twice in a row. The thankful nature of this all is that that tuition is very flexible, as in I can arrange it on any day..so long as I come. But I just don’t like the bad habit of changing.
Desserts
I took bus 59 with my mum at Toa Payoh Central.
Elaboration: Our destination was bound home..which is Toa Payoh Lorong 2. We ended up in Eunos and had to take a cab back, costing my mum $7.70. Guess who was the idiot who said 59 passes by my bus stop?? I give you a hint: It can’t be my mum. She is a smart lady.
Ugh.
So if you think your day was bad, think again.
Just when I think the day is about to end, life drops me a couple more desserts to sweeten my day to the finest extent and the end is always the greatest, the best – to get suaned by my mother.
People say it takes 10 lies to cover 1 lie.
Vanessa says: IT TAKES 1 MISTAKE TO CAUSE 5 BIG FAT MISTAKES!
Vanessa is feeling depressed.
Go away.
Shoo! Shooo….oh not you, yea you. I meant my depression. Dun be mistaken or that will be the 11th mistake of the day.
.
.
.
What? Why did I say 11th mistake when I only mentioned 6th? Oh you are so cute..i didn’t type out the rest.
.
.
.
What?? Oh yea. Sure, no prob. You are very welcome.
I am glad I brightened your day.
Grr.

Woots! Everyone, please try to watch 籃球火 if you have the time kaes? Haha. It’s a very nice show..though I feel dumb saying so since I have only watched one episode. Haha. Okay la..the first episode left me cracking up quite a few times during the show and made busy days more bearable as well.
Hmmm, in case you haven already heard from me nagging you to watch or anyone else promoting to you this show, it’s supposedly one of the hottest show airing in Taiwan, M’sia, Taipei, etc now. But this news may be a bit bias ‘cos I heard it from 娛樂百分百 and as you all know, the host, 羅志祥 is acting in it. Haha. So he probably won’t go putting his own show down ba..judging from his character. Ahaha. Hmmm, apart from the above mentioned actor, two other main actors include 言承旭 and 吴尊. The show seems to be circulating between these 3 boys and their basketball fanaticism ba so the main actresses oso appear to be like just co-stars to me in the show.
i think this show is quite different from the rest of those taiwanese dramas that i feel has the same plot - simply different actors. at least this drama got some action of some kind and not so much into the lovey dovey theme that i have come to watch and know too well. scarily, this good impression once chanced upon me when i was chasing Hana-Kimi, starring 吴尊 and Ella. ermz..hopefully the show will not have that much of a dissapointment for an ending. heez.
hmmm, end of the day, what i am trying to say is, give this drama a shot. You may like it. hahaha.
the below clip is the first episode. haha. unless you are afraid of getting hooked to the show, no harm watching the clip for a few minutes rite? heez.
toodles!
its a little small but can click full screen.
alt, go to youtube, crunchyroll or tudou to watch =) hee.

I always love to listen to this song...dont really know why it appealed to me so much. but i hope this song will also take a positive side to all of you who happened to listen to it.
coincidentally, this is the new background music for my blog. hmmm...ENJOY!
.
.

MMMMMMMMMM
Ever since I was a baby girl I had a dream
Cinderella theme
Crazy as it seems
Always knew that deep inside that there would come that day
But I would have to wait
Make so many mistakes
I couldn't comprehend
As I watched it unfold
This classic story told I left it in the cold
Walking through an open door that led me back to you
Each one unlocking more of the truth
I finally stopped tripping on my youth
I finally got lost inside of you
I finally know that I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
MMMMMMMM
I remember the beginning you already knew
I acted like a fool
Just trying to be cool
Fronting like it didn't matter
I just ran away
And on another phase
Was lost in my own space
Found what its like to hurt selfishly
Scared to give of me
Afraid to just believe
I was in a jealous, insecure, pathetic place
Stumbled through the mess that I have made
Finally got out of my own way
I've Finally started living for today
I finally know that I needed to grow
And finally my mate has met my soul
[chorus]
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have a different set
Something strange and new is happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Gave my love to him Finally
MMMMMMMM
Finally, Finally
Finally
Now my destiny can begin
Though we will have our differences
Something beautiful is happening, happening
Finally
Now my life doesn't seem so bad
It's the best that I've ever had
Give my love to him finally
Ohhhhhhh, Finally, Finally, finally
coincidentally, this is the new background music for my blog. hmmm...ENJOY!

School is starting soon, much to everyone's misery. everyone is counting down to the days their courses begins and mine will officially start for myself this 7th aug. to be more precise, i have lecture on 3rd aug on POA. apparently, its a make-up lesson (sort of!) since i will be missing lecture on 9th aug. no prizes for guessing why.
For those of you who bothered to check which day is 3rd aug, yes. dun be shock. you didnt see wrongly.
IT'S A SUNDAY! *glum face*
something gave me that warm fuzzy feeling of love today:)
i think i haven felt that feeling for quite a long time.
selfishly, i dont ever want it to be taken away from me. =)
There are so many things to be done this week. Thank god i bought a diary to keep track or my puny brain will lose at least half of the appointments.
No surprise to anyone who knows me, i have joined the Film and Performing Arts CCA [FPA] in my university. haven really grounded though so just feeling my way around stuff and manouever aboout, hoping not to step on any toes.
The first event that is coming up is Arts Festival 2008 and i have been made IC for the finale event. apparently, FPA will be inviting acoustic singers and bands to close the event for the festival and i am suppose to decorate, plan and organise the event....ALONE! i feel like i just got myself stuck in a pile of...yea..you get the picture. shall try my very best to do it...if it is a failure, my name will go into the draw for "loser of the year" i suppose. okay. vanessa, you are not making matters any better for yourself.
i am going to flip through my phonebook and see if i have any friends in event planning. hahaha..do you think i shud i ask samuel since he is in Project and Facilities Management? haha nah. he probably kill me before i open the MSN window.
i have a random urge to write down my events for this week cos i realise that thursday is actually blank! that means i am FREE! yays. so dun bother reading if you do not wish to know what is happening to me this week. haha. *everyone closes window* haha

Okay! back blogging again. been cooping myself up in my room due to the wedding montage...and various issues which prolly only 1....3.....5 friends know to date.
It feels weird that without chua to yak on MSN or just spam her MSN window for fun to get scolded by her. it always happens when one good friend goes *poof* somewhere and somehow, life gets a little lost. just that i dun say it. but it doesnt mean i dun feel it.
the wedding montage is almost done after nights of sleeping at 4am. at the very least, there is a skeleton of it rather than the pathetic few pictures i was playing with, back and forth on my computer. The song choice has also been narrowed down to the last two songs. Probably Lifehouse - You and Me or Ronan Keating - When you say nothing at all.
i wonder who is gonna listen to all this gibberish i am talking to myself on the blog. am saying it out to help me get a clearer picture of what's my next move k? haha so bear with me.
.
.
.
thanks for bearing. okay. haha.
anw, recently, as some of you i have told, i had an LTC outing! yays. haha. one of my treasured groups to date. we were suppose to have our outing at 2pm..haha but we ended off starting the official meeting at 3pm! haha! thanks to...EUNICE..who was one hour late. haha. had i known, i wudnt meet them at 2:30pm cos i was suppose to have lunch on my own. tsk tsk. okies la. i think i have no right to complain since lewis waited for an hour, lynette and lincoln probably 45 mins or so. wahahaa..lucky me then.
anw, we had cafe cartel for lunch.
OUR HAPPY SIR LIONELL FAMILY
THE HEIRS
THE HEIRESS-ES
ooo..i think lynette is sooo pretty...haha! OoPs! haha. nvm la..lester oso nvr come to this blog wan. whee..lynette is sooo pretty. wahahaaha. hahaha.
alright, carrying on before i scare all of you people...
Thankfully i only had soup for lunch so i cud still have space to share some food with eunice...until the ice cream came..oh my gawd. i wun wanna spoil the surprise for you all so order the "strawberry bonanza" when you have the chance at cafe cartel. as eunice says "you will get diabetic eating it". maybe grace is game for it. haha. it states on the menu that it is for two people btw but my advise is, make sure you have at least 4 ice-cream hungry friends before you place that as an order.
We managed to catch up with each other - gossiped, talked *munch munch* gossip, teasing, gossip, gossip, joke, complain, joke, gossip, *munch munch* - had so much fun.
Next, we headed down to the minds' cafe after lunch. i think we were half hour late for the table we booked there so it was cancelled or something like that. nevertheless, the service was quite fast and our luck was quite good. so we got a table pretty quickly despite our big grp. cheers....
Played a few games till 7 plus but i suppose two of the most exciting games was the UNO Stacko and the other...i forgot the name. but its the kind that you have to exchange cards with players to get the same group of animals, eg 7 cards of Ox or 7 cards of Rye. something like that. we only managed to get pictures of the Uno Stacko not because this game was the most interesting but rather, the rest was engaging everyone all the time and too fast paced to have anyone spared to take pictures. haha. lynette was taking pictures most of the time. so thankfully she sat next to me or else my kan chiong face will probably be splashed across all the photos! haha.
sians. at least lewis and lynette are smart enough to bring cameras. i was smart enough to charge my camera batt but dumb enough to forget to bring it. ughs...
anw, here are our kan chiong faces during Uno Stacko. mostly are the boys' photos lar cos lynette and i were seating opposite them.
Eunice and Ben diving in for the blocks. Uh oh...
the game was so tensed that even onlookers stopped by to watch our game with anxiety. haha. nope that girl in yellow tee is not someone we know!
Lester...STRESS!
Ben Bumps Into His Friends (yaks yaks yaks...while Lewis thinks: aiyo...which block next? sians...)
PLEASE DUN DROP! please? please.....
Ben: drop la...hahahaaha...DROP!
Lincoln: yes...please drop or else...my turn le. *gulps*
All The Games We Played That Afternoon!
anw, we went for dinner after that w/o lester and lynette. the day was generally very fun though my night wasnt too good, as some of you all may already have known. haha shall not dwell about that but nonetheless, for those who were there for me..lewis(for sending me off)...chua(for picking up my call at 2 am..ahaha you rock =) BFF!)...grace (for coming over and telling her hooligan story) hahah. thanks a lot for being there for me when it happened. yepz.
to those who dun understand anything i am saying..sorry sorry. haha.
alrighty. see ya!
~toodles~
It feels weird that without chua to yak on MSN or just spam her MSN window for fun to get scolded by her. it always happens when one good friend goes *poof* somewhere and somehow, life gets a little lost. just that i dun say it. but it doesnt mean i dun feel it.
the wedding montage is almost done after nights of sleeping at 4am. at the very least, there is a skeleton of it rather than the pathetic few pictures i was playing with, back and forth on my computer. The song choice has also been narrowed down to the last two songs. Probably Lifehouse - You and Me or Ronan Keating - When you say nothing at all.
i wonder who is gonna listen to all this gibberish i am talking to myself on the blog. am saying it out to help me get a clearer picture of what's my next move k? haha so bear with me.
.
.
.
thanks for bearing. okay. haha.
anw, recently, as some of you i have told, i had an LTC outing! yays. haha. one of my treasured groups to date. we were suppose to have our outing at 2pm..haha but we ended off starting the official meeting at 3pm! haha! thanks to...EUNICE..who was one hour late. haha. had i known, i wudnt meet them at 2:30pm cos i was suppose to have lunch on my own. tsk tsk. okies la. i think i have no right to complain since lewis waited for an hour, lynette and lincoln probably 45 mins or so. wahahaa..lucky me then.
anw, we had cafe cartel for lunch.
OUR HAPPY SIR LIONELL FAMILY
THE HEIRS
THE HEIRESS-ES
ooo..i think lynette is sooo pretty...haha! OoPs! haha. nvm la..lester oso nvr come to this blog wan. whee..lynette is sooo pretty. wahahaaha. hahaha.

hello bloggie and everyone. its me again, finally blogging after many drowsy days and nights of little sleep. Life is hyping up again with dozen of To-Do-Lists coming up. Rushing between a tuition teacher, a soon-to-be university student, and a wedding montage maker, i found time to make a trip back school as a "pirated" school student and terrorise the school grounds with a few of my other cheeky friends - mainly cyn, xiu xiu, grace, curry, cheng and adel.
This was how we looked like at 3 in the morning. there were only a few left conscious. adeline and cynthia were the first to knock out. haha. actually cheng was gonna be gone case too. but...we gave her a head massage and she was recharged. lol.
Took pictures of one of our many favourite spots in school - the staircase. should have seen the many curious stares cast at us during the taking of these photos. of course, cant blame them since i would be doing that if i was still in JC. haha
Bumped into my drama peeps, who is also carine's OGM - Nigel! of course, we just had to drag him into a couple of photo shoot with us. oh wells, its alright. he looked only too happy to be asked to be taken photo with on a normal friday morning.
Cynthia wanted to be like Zuo Sheng -IT savy. so she tried out the new IT kiosk located next to the bookshop. cool huh? haha. not bad, at least she looks quite zai. lol.
and of cos, how cud we ever enter and leave the school without saying hello to ALL the teachers we know?? i asked mr low to take a picture with us..ooo...cheng and i agree he still looks very shuai...haha...and smell super nice =) =) =)
we sorta caught gerald while talking to mr low. so all of us chat up. check out gerald's new yankee hairstyle!! lol.
after terrorizing the school, my clique went on with the schedule for the day and checked into Kbox-ing Time!! haha. uploaded some pictures and videos of our crazy moments. pictures and videos were taken in moments of chaos. so not so good quality. lol. bear with me!
Next, my clique went over to my hse to have a ALL GIRLS NIGHT sleepover! well, the event is almost accurate since there are no males in my hse, other than my daddy. No question on his sexuality since he is a father already!! haha. anw, we tot of watching ghost movies as we always do whenever we have sleepovers, but we ended up talking the night away in my room till 4am.
We had an early birthday celebration for grace, the baby for our clique. she is turning 19 le yet she still haven learn to take care of herself. -sighs- so NO candle for her on her cake! muahahaha...no la...couldnt find any candles in my hse *sheepish look*
Happy 19th Birthday Grace! Sian...i turning 19 soon oso. sian sian sian sian SIAN.
This was how we looked like at 3 in the morning. there were only a few left conscious. adeline and cynthia were the first to knock out. haha. actually cheng was gonna be gone case too. but...we gave her a head massage and she was recharged. lol.
okay den. this was abt all the adventure i had, minus the unglam moments and gross stuff done behind close doors! ahaha. Before i end off, adeline has one last msg to tell all of you.
Toodles!

almost three weeks has passed with me having the status as jobless. yet nothing seems to be done at home at all.
*looks arnd the messy room*
tsk tsk
there were so many things i had planned for myself to do and now, i think i haven even managed to acheive one task. *looks at the room one more time* sigh.
I started packing my room arnd the start of this week, throwing away stuff that has tortured me for two whole years - files, worksheets, papers, notes...y'know them all. and selecting a few stuff to torture me a little more for the years to come, like textbooks, guidebooks, assessment books etc. Since i hardly ever pack my room, even when its during Spring Cleaning, such packing and cleaning always make me feel like i have closed one more chapter in my life and and about to open another chapter.
well, my mom always says, you will come to a point in time, where you will wonder, what have you done with your life so far? what have you acheived? what have you done that is so meaning that when the day you meet GOD, you can proudly announce to Him all the wonderful things you have created and left behind on this earth? i suppose that is one of the reasons why she has turned very religious over the years, attending prayer groups, meditation, self prayer, church visiting, sunday masses.
To be honest, i cant say i have much to look back and if anyone says 19 years is a lot of time to look back, then, i cant say i have done very much either. I haven been very devoted to any particular religion, or been very involved in any religious gathering. I haven acheived much in neither my human wants or spiritual needs. The only thing, however, i feel satisfied with myself is that I have made it a point to follow my parents to pray for my ancestors when no one does. and since my chapters of life are determined by the major exams i went through, the one other thing i can proudly announce to GOD is that i have completed my A levels and O levels and PSLE, and still i have not decided to commit suicide like some of my other peers. i dunno why i feel that way but probably thats the way it is. even the two acheivements are so pathetic. they are like a suppose-to-be-done, nothing to be proud of things.
my original plan of this blog entry was to type out all the things i want to complete before my so-called other chapter of life begins. i dun even know why i typed or how i managed to type all this stuff out. i suppose, thats why people term me as dramatic ba. dun even know whether that is good or bad. perhaps its neutral. yet again, nothing is neutral. i always think that neutral is for those who doesnt want to voice out their opinions in fear of trouble or anger or those sorta things. C'mon. even water, from Mother Nature isnt neutral - how can we humans be?

And so June 9th, 2008 quickly came and past before we know, and i am sitting here in front of my computer, yet again, jobless and bored. This 6 months experience at RBC DEXIA was not only an enriching experience for me, but a affirmation for me that i can fit into the working life and join new cliques and make new friends so long as i try hard enough and sincere enough. If even that doesnt work, they probably dont want to be friends with anyone anyway. and since that group of people will generally belong to the minority, life will still go on pretty much the same pace of excitement.
Charmaine has became one of my closest, if not, closest friend/colleague in RBC DEXIA, mainly because she is around my age so we hit off quite well, and that we are both insane creatures. went out quite a number of times with her and shared problems with each other. haha. our boss lay ling calls us the jie-meis cos we are the only two crazy teenagers who dared to wear flip-flops to work and exchanged one flip-flop with each other so that we are wearing two different striking colour flip-flops everywhere we went in the company. anw, we decided to reminsce the days back in our secondary school so we took one formal picture and one candid shot. lol.
.JPG)
Charmaine will be studying in SIM too, although she is under RMIT university, whereas i am under University of London. Although she is taking a part-time course only, it's still comforting to know that someone you know is there with you too, if you know what i mean. =)
Me and Lena - can you tell she is 5 months preg? like OMG, i cant la, even when i am standing next to her! and more importantly, can you tell this is her secound one? she looks soooo young lor. Btw, she met her husband in secondary school. is that sweet or what?
Me and Alan
Me and Chris - super nice guy. one of the nicest to me during my first days in RBC too.
So! i was thinking, BEFORE i start to rant on about the melancholic stuff about leaving the company, i might as well rant on and on about that Alex i was talking to everyone about. no la..wun rant. but Yup. this is the super gorgeous caucasian i was talking to you about. haha not bad guy...glad to add him to my collection of international friends. =)
On my last day of work, the feeling i had while walking towards my building was a very special one as compared to the anxiety i always experience while dashing through the MRT underground, worried about being late for work. if you think about it, when else will you feel such agitation yet angst in the air except for the 8am hour rush? and when else will you feel such vibrance and life except for the 6pm hour rush? Such probably cant be experienced during, say, on a Sunday morning at Raffles MRT station at 8am, if you know what i mean. Its practically a ghostville. As such, the feeling that rushed over me on the morning of June 9th, 2008, was one of reluctance, nostalgia and appreciation. i took my time to walk past the underground tunnel, closely looking at the angry and annoyed faces casted at other commuters, as everyone expressed through the express lanes to work. a familiar yet hardly appreciated sight. Do not mistaken such scenarios as one you would see at the Great Singapore Sale because the feeling is different. The feeling at the GSS is one of fearless dashes made by aunties and teenagers that i would assume it is almost safe to compare them to 2 ah-sohs making the final dash for the last piece of fish at the fishmonger. The dashes made during the 8am rush hour was due to responsibility for work and fear for their rice bowls. To date, i can proudly proclaim that i have actively participated in both the former and the latter and have indeed emerged more dignified and superior from the latter.
As i finally made my way through the office door of the 28th level, i greeted my usual morning smiles to the receptionist and headed to my department. Nothing was out of the ordinary. Colleagues were still grumpy over their workloads and submitting to their fates while each colleague (the better ones, at least) try to cheer each other up with the nonsense they went through after work the day before.
Turning on my computer as i take out my usual piles of bank statements to solve and figure out, i thought to myself that this will probably be the last time i am handling this disgusting stack. yet, turning to look at the piles and files of bank statements' problems that i have managed to resolve after hours of OT and dashing from one department to the next, i feel a sense of forlorn that ultimately, this was my precious work and it was going to be handled over to another of my colleague - audrey, whom i have no doubt will do a more brilliant job than me. But still, it's my little production of accomplished work. Anw, this is cute lil audrey.
anyways, during lunch, my colleagues all bought me a forever friends bear (can see below) which you can tell i love it so. i felt very touched to be honest because regardless of the gift, at least i know i was appreciated and loved.
i made brownies for everyone! - or at least the people i were close to. ahaha. and as usual, i went round taking pictures with everyone and anyone that was still around at 6pm. as you can tell, i took quite a handful of pictures so can you tell how hardworking, we, the RBC DEXIANS, are? hahaha. not really. hahah. oOpS!
anw, this is my shi-fu who taught me to handle Barclays. She is called Lynn and if i ever mentioned to you before, i am doing the wedding montage for her, yup! this lady is tying the knot in September.

This is my boss when she came on a Sunday to pack the office together with all of us. i didnt manage to take a picture with her on my last day because she fell sick. She prolly will kill me if she saw her picture on my blog - esp. this picture which she gave me specific warning over dinner NOT to let anyone see. heeeheee...but on the contrary, i think this picture is a perfect description of my boss to anyone who doesnt know her. she may not feel so but i think this picture shows exactly who she is - genuine, spontaneous, nice, sporting, helpful, modest and a very charming patient young lady. She gave me this gift as a farewell gift during my dinner with her.
didnt take a picture of what i gave her though. its something like a puzzle, that contains a handwritten message i wrote for her, that she has to fix together.
This is me with Chia Hui. also another girl from my department. haha. yup, my department is all girls so its super comfortable. Apparently, she is also a University of London grad so i have a lot of stuff to ask her about, esp regarding my course =)
Anw, these are all the people who are not in my department but i have come to know over these past 6 months. I grouped them according to the respective deparments for my convenience. haha.
The PRICING TEAM.
Me and Tze Hong
Me and Darren - He was introduced to me by Charmaine. he ALWAYS make fun of me de. haha. i think we never said a good word before to each other. haha. Something like Carine and Samuel kinda relationship ba.
The FA TEAM
Me and Lena - can you tell she is 5 months preg? like OMG, i cant la, even when i am standing next to her! and more importantly, can you tell this is her secound one? she looks soooo young lor. Btw, she met her husband in secondary school. is that sweet or what?
Me and Alan
Me and Chris - super nice guy. one of the nicest to me during my first days in RBC too.
Me and Shireen - i like this picture a lot. i think we look like jie-meis. lol. Bet you wudnt think she is already a mother eh?

mood: highly upset
my eyes are sore from crying. my documents and pictures have all been officially deleted by that man. he claims he never seen that folder before when it has been on the desktop since i got this computer.
daddy is nagging at me for not saving a copy of it in the thumbdrive. Question ought to be why didnt he tell me he was sending it for repair before he sent it for repair? i dont wanna argue with him because i am really upset this time. i think he can feel it especially when i am so quiet despite his nagging. its not like me to keep quiet anyways.
4 yrs of hard work in saving up all those pictures and memories, documents and works are all gone down the drain. and the irony of it all is that we paid more than $100 for their service to make me upset.
for those who needs to repair their computers, i cant suggest a good company for you to go to - but i can suggest a bad company for you NOT to go to.

this is the fourth consecutive day i have been on this earth without a job. it definitely feels weird that i am slacking around the house when i have been chiong-ing about work since the start of hols. well, i suppose it means its time to put down something and start something new altogether again. actually, to say that i have been moping about the house for the past few days is not exactly accurate either since i have been waking up at 7 in the morning and coming home around 12 plus for the past few jobless days. In fact, today is the only day i have managed to log on to the computer and snoop about its contents.
Recently, my computer has just received another attack on the virus. and this time, apparently, it was Microsoft Documents. queer rite? out of all the things, it has to be Microsoft and mind you, the Microsoft i am using is the original. so i wonder, is there really a difference using the pirated vers. and the original vers.? afterall, both are as vulnerable to viruses. disgusting. nonetheless, everything is still being stuck to the originals so any officials or authority reading this blog can chill.
as i was restoring all my games bought from Yahoo and PlayFirst back to my computer, i realise that my files are missing. yep. i have 2 folders listed as "autumn's documents" and "my work space" with important documents that i myself cannot emphasise on the importance of them all and they are missing. as i am typing this out, i am feeling extremely annoyed and disturbed by it all. i already called the guy but he said he will get back to me by late afternoon. right now, 2:30pm seems like late afternoon to me already. i am super impatient and anxious and worried. why? cos i am suppose to do a wedding montage for my colleague (for those who arent aware) and the photos are in the above two folders. as well as all my other pictures and documents along with it. please dun ask why didnt i save my stuff into the thumbdrive before i send the computer for fixing k? i didnt even know the CPU was gone till my dad told me so. sianz. and now, my dad's stuff is all in order and mine are ALL GONE! EVERYTHING. i dont see why he can do everything nicely for my dad and not for me.
i hope the words "i accidentally deleted them" do not appear in the conversation later with him. if everything can be solved with the word "accidentally", there wouldnt be a need for the word "negligence". i know i am being mean la. but i am really very anxious now. going out with wing yan later. maybe she can cool me down. yea. good idea.
i want some explanations now. *highly disturbed*
the lady i am doing the wedding montage for, will want some explanations too.

On June 10, 2008, I will be officially jobless. I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing I mean, I have been working since the start of my holiday and unlike most, I have managed to get hold of a job that kept me for 6 months - my entire holiday. I still rememberthe first day of work at RBC Dexia. Seriously, I still cannot recall why I was so brave as to take up a job for such a long period of time,without a friend. Things started dreadful as they always do, I suppose,for my case. I had no company for lunch for the first few days and hadto eat alone or not eat at all.
After a few days, people started to get accustomed to seeing me in the office. Occasional nods or smiles would be cast in my direction when walking along the lobby or office and my department started to get closer to me. More work started piling in, harder each time, and more interaction with other departments as well. Amidst of all these mayhem, I even managed to become closer friends with my colleagues like Charmaine. I suppose if I really cannot bear leaving this place, it's because if all the relationships I have formed in this office as well as the experience I have gained from this company. Working in this company, I managed to gain much insights and understanding from the working world, some good, but mostly bad. But ultimately, if you enter the correct firm or department, meet the correct people and be yourself, you will be safe. Or maybe that is just my utopian view of everything.

thats all i can describe myself now in one word.
if death could solve all problems.
*blank*
what is a friend? one who you call the instant you feel like dying.
how long does it take to be a good friend? time doesnt really play a part. really. a friendship of 2.5 yrs may not necessary be weaker than a friendship of 9 yrs.
how do you know that you treat her as a friend? you tell her everything you will feel embarassed or disgraceful to mention to others.
how do you know she treats you like one too? when she throws aside what perhaps is important to her to help you.
thanks neetha.
feeling detached.

It’s May 13, 2008. Trying to write down the date whenever possible since I am having a hard time keeping up with the pace of time. This year has been a very different and somewhat difficult year to pass by. I am not sure how my life will continue to evolve but I hope that it is for the better.
Waiting for acceptance is such a torturous procedure. Whether is it the wait to enter university, or the wait for an unrequited love to be returned, or the wait to enter into the lives of young kids, the wait for acceptance is unbearable. Gosh, even the wait to enter your house, especially when you are most in need of the bathroom is intolerable.
Perhaps the reason why we all hate waiting is because waiting is the one thing that allows your fate to rest in the hands of others. Regardless of how many times others have told you that you are the master of your own fate, the point in time has come when others decide for you how long they want you to wait or suffer.
Sipping at my packet of cold green tea, I thought of the time I was introduced to this packet of drink. I think it was popular in my secondary school days where all you see teenagers drinking is green tea. I never like green tea then despite the hype about it. Yet know, it was an acceptable drink to me. I wonder how difficult the wait for green tea to be accepted by me was. Of course, not that it even cared, right green tea? *looks at the packet of green tea*
Anyway, I took up tuition-ing (like finally!) It’s a Australian International School year one kid and her sister in year three or six, I forgot. Whoever who told me or believes that young boys are a troublesome load to take care of, I will highly encourage you to throw away that notion because it ain’t true. The boy is adorable though it’s the sister that I am having a hard time. Shan’t dwell too much on that. Don’t really know how to express the agony either.
Just a thought that while you think year one students are easy to teach, its actually quite difficult because it boils down to explaining the basic fundamental concepts to them, which ain’t easy. Suppose you teach a Secondary school kid, and she doesn’t get why differentiation of an equation is to find the gradient of the curve, you can show her and tell her why. Now, that being said, try explaining why 9 – 2 = 7 and 10 + 12 = 22. And if you use the working to show them, and the kid tells you that 0 + 2 = 8, how do you explain why its not 8 and 2?
Think you can handle it, then take this challenge. How do you explain that in the number 735, the digit 7 is in the hundred digit and not the million digit? (bearing in mind that you have already taught them how to read the placing of the digits from the ‘ones’ unit to ‘million’ unit.)
Its really not that easy. I thought it was too, until you realize that for that age, they are just learning to conceptualize such stuff and cannot think in ways you expect them to think.
Oh and one more thing, don’t expect them to be hardworking. Bear in mind you weren’t too hardworking at that age either.
