A new year, and quite a bit of changes.
Coz of downturn, there is some significant slowing of flow.. and so, non essential personnel of the CF will have EFO. That means i've got to take on their role after they EFO-ed.
It'll be good if there are a few that can take on multiple roles. A bit like soccer player like that.. can play left right center, forward defend or midfield. Just need a few jacks like that around, and a few specialist of the core. The rest are really not that difficult to learn.
Now a particular issue is resolved.. i wonder how things will turn out. But at least i'm glad for now.
The kopi stall above the CF is under new management as of the new year.. sadly, their coffee is cmi one.. so now we all da bao from the autopoint across the road. Even the veg rice also change management.. i wonder what is wrong with the canteen management.
I just need a bit more time.

Last Entry of 2008
Last day of 2008. Thankfully.
2008 is a rather bad year, especially on the global scale.
New Year Eve, and was at the factory till 6 plus. Flow was not too bad, just that there are some things i can't resolve.
I have no reason to not put any effort for the factory, but of so, that sometimes the rate of flow is becoming quite a dilemma. I just wish that i can do more at a faster rate. There is also peak period for the factory.. and that is lunchtime. Now i quite wary of peaceful mornings.. i rather the flow be more consistent.. but that is not for me to choose. I'm already glad that the factory can float.. so the more the merrier.
Anyway, in 2008:-
1) I finally got my banking and finance degree from UOL
2) Things were gone
3) A full-time job
A rather uneventful year for me.. but things were of great significance.
My resolution for 2009:-
1) Do my upmost for the chocolate factory
2009 is most likely to be a rough year, with all the fallout from the credit crisis.. but i still hope that 明天会更好. All the best, and great health and happiness for all for 2009~

T - 3
A few more days to 2009.. and i didn't realise it till today.
Flow was rather slow for today.. so found some time to familiarise with some of the stocks. After the basics, it will be time to move on to more duties.
I'm getting used to how things are liao.. and really i've got such a "happening" life.
Sunday, and was off to pract at boonlay. Had such a great time sleeping on 52 lor.. maybe next time can sleep all the way to jurong east. Suddenly had so much to do on sundays.. if not, i won't have time to do things on weekdays (+ saturdays). Really need to plan ahead for the whole week.
Bought a quite solid vacuum flask for myself to boost morale. My caffeine intake per day is around 4-5 cups.. and the da bao plastic is not really solid for hot drinks (or good for health).. plus the flask can keep drinks warm longer. Sometimes the flow is so heavy that the drinks turned cold before i had time to drink it. At least now got hot drinks on standby le.
Still lacking a pod dock ($100+) to replace the goyak disc player to make the environment a slightly better place.. i feel that there are some things that salary can't buy. Already got quite a high turnover rate for the skilled chefs.. so i guess something is still lacking. Will be buying some cold drinks to put in the mini fridge (there is a fridge in some corner of the factory, but no drinks inside). Welfare expense is non tax deductible.. so cannot claim from the company also doesn't make much difference. Anyway, it'll be good if there is a 24/7 supply.. see if i got the time to buy some or not.
Suddenly i feel like doing some part-time course.. i want to wear the roti-prata after the square.. and if possible, some non-banking course. I doubt it'll be of much use.. (anyway no need to take banking also can work in banks lor..).. so probably, BA.
And now the lord want to make things difficult.. coz certain things are so big that even the factory can't contain. Bo bian had to do outside.. but it wasn't allowed. In less than 2 hours of the breach, someone came and give verbal warning. Zzz.. must be someone blow whistle one lor.. and i think i know is who. Not anyone from the chocolate factory.. maybe someone driving the spaceship 3. Quite an achiever.. and heard that they got an award also.. so it is no wonder.
The turnover for the canteen is also quite high.. the kopi auntie is also chased by the owner.. coz biz is too good liao.. (maybe coz i contribute $4 per day). Then the veg rice also change owner le.. and it didn't taste as good. Now all the good food all going liao.. and i got no time to go other canteen to eat.
I know i OBG.. i know i know.. no need to remind me anymore.

Xmas 08
Almost pek chek-ed on xmas eve.
A lot of things couldn't be done by myself due to time constraint. I thought that at least could have a breather for me to do some last minute shopping.. but then again, unexpected things do happen. Planning ahead, i'd have to buy xmas presents during november liao.
Was home at 9 plus yesterday coz of OT.. and still haven't wrap the present for gift exchange. Was so "touched" went one of the staff da bao noodles for us while we were rushing some orders. Need to rush so many things, and still was already quite late for the xmas dinner.
Was nice to be able to sit and relax, and watch tv. Just so happen that it was a horror movie.. lol.. Then it was mj after so so long. On the whole tiring, but great to be able to find things to joke about.
Back home again in the morning, and then was off again to grandma's place for xmas celebration in the afternoon. Food was nice as usual, and even parky got plenty.
Stayed for a while before going back home to catch some sleep. Work resumes on boxing day.. and as usual after PH, work is plentiful.. how great. I really need to rest a bit more.

Omg.. if this is it, then can i have my 4 years back? I'm just kidding.. afterall, it's also quite an achievement wor.
How i yearn that some of the customers would ask about banking somehow.. even during rides in taxi, i also want to discuss banking issues with the cab driver.. lol.. but too bad... a wrong choice. I should have studied mechanical engineering instead. Suddenly i'm just detached with the whole current affairs and all the economy.. for interest perhaps.. but for work, not at the moment.. so while i'm re-programming to make way for new information, i will be forgoing the others.
The 3rd weeks seems to be an ok start.. all becoz of plentiful of rest. Start of the week already want to chwee, then how to last till sat? Heng ar... i slept a lot.
Monday is usually rather busy.. coz a lot of KIV-ed from sunday. Some of the chocolates hor.. really is the toilet chocolate lor.. coz it went to the sewer, and some the rubbish dump and chute too. Whatever they come with, we will service it. Ok la.. if the whole thing like going to chwee liao, come liao sure come again within the next few days.. then the whole repair cost might just exceed the cost of replacement. Might as well get a brand new one right?
Met one of those usual that is unusual. I'm glad.
Lunch time, and got people come and sell credit cards... and.. then totally ignored me. LOL.. really want to like that meh.. but really la.. see the pattern already cannot afford credit card le. Then strange thing is, my younger cousin was approached by them.. lol.. what is this sia?
Ot-ed today again till 7 plus, but rather then of help, i was much the opposite. Finally got the 'feel' of peeling the chocolate with the large pen knife, but was cut again... lol.. seriously, i didn't attempt to commit suicide.. it's just that the wrist and arm are easy targets for injury. I think my injury proneness is at 20 lo. Really "blood sweat money" lor.. haha.. almost everyday got bonus from the metal wires of the choc.. maybe should wear spacesuit or what.
Went GP today to check on the purple toenail.. and as suspected, it will drop off! Omg lor.. lol.. NS also never ns until toenail bo.. now go chocolate factory 2 weeks, and already the toenail going lorry liao. At least it wasn't an infection. Then checked with the GP for my AS also.. coz it seems to affect the intestine also.. so he asked my to update my specialist... and.. perhaps do a scope! Zzzz.. At least some clue as to what was going on. Sometimes really must meet the 'right' person one lor.
Then went to spy on the bcm stall again at 9 plus.. lol.. my dinner is getting later and later.. and from there, i now see why sometimes customers behaved in a certain manner.. and no wonder they doubt my ability. Ask a kid to cook the bcm for me, i don't think it will taste good too.. hahaha.. And from there, i also observe their allocation of manpower.. and very relevant to the chocolate factory.. and also to a lot of other biz too.
BA is a nice addition also.. since the banking really can keep in the shelves le.. maybe next time study accounting also.. maybe engineering also.. then i really can multitask le.

At the chocolate factory the other day, saw someone stun a recovered item. It was left in one of the racks, just below our work station. While almost everyone was busy trying to help him fix his order, he pilfer the item and put it in his pocket within 2 moves. 我看在眼里，记在心里. Gek sim lor.. coz it will hurt the CRM and future biz if i expose him on the spot.. and since it was a recovered item, there is no actual lost. But then again, it is very rude to just take without asking, and still behave in a 鬼鬼祟祟 manner.. plus, it was an insult to totally discount my presence.. think i blind meh? But then the village chief told me not to worry.. coz the villain thought he had picked something today, and he will come more often to see if he can pick more or not. Which mean more opportunity to earn from him.
A bit like "infernal affairs" in the factory these days.. haha.. coz i'm spying for a lot of people. “我想做好人” also leh.. now working "undercover" as a mechanic, with the identity of being in an internship program from some technical school.. and slowly, i don't even remembered what the last 4 years was all about.
TGIF, and i went st james... my cousin warned me.. but i still insist. Working at the chocolate factory is super tiring coz of the physical aspect needed to get things done. Just the other day, one piece of 6 ft (72 inches) in diameter chocolate came rolling in.. and it took the 3 of us just to roll it. And then the rest is carrying stuffs in, service it, and then load back. Now my toenail also turned purple le lor.. most likely from the extended stress on the feet. Really leh.. it isn't the hours spent sleeping.. it's how much energy used in a day. Over utilised liao, sleep 24 hours also won't be enough.
Mountains of it to process on a saturday..
This "thing" is even bigger than a pallet lor..
So at st james, a lady sharing our table told me that she work until 3 am.. lol.. really leh.. if give me aircon and paper work, let me work until 6am i also ok. Different is different lor.. nothing to compare. Wondered was it that i was too tired.. i really fell asleep at the table.. haha.. machiam my bday like that. Bday girl never doh i already doh le.
I had to leave early, so by 2am, i was on my way home.. slept on the way back until the cab driver got to wake me up.. wahahaha.. if not, i think he can go tour round and round until i wake up.
Woke up at 6 plus to get ready for work.. and then on a saturday, the chocolate factory was unusually busy.. and i thought i could at least rest a bit while working. Got my EFO just so that i could get ready for the performance at tbsc later in the evening.
2 pieces to play at tbsc.. so i took 166 to harbor front... 166 took so long to reach.. and i intentionally chose this so that i can at least sleep a bit on the way.. lol... if not, i think i can fall asleep while waiting for the performance to start. As usual, we are indeed part of the meeting. Don't know whether what said was touching, or that the aircon was too cold.. but i had goose bumps lor. Then it was our turn to perform.. and as usual, was at the corner near the wall. Then after which, they applauded so loudly.. wah leh.. given that kind of presentation... a bit erm.. don't know what to say. But i think they meant well.. and really, i tried my best liao.
Was almost home at around 10pm.. and so went to da bao bcm. Had to wait 20 minutes or so coz their biz was so good. Similarly, they had customers looking at them while they prepare the food.. and some of them also niam a lot. Sometimes they also pek chek lor.. got too many people also sian, no people also sian.. this then is biz.
So "happening" nowadays lor... then sunday still got band pract.. but i guess i won't be going.. just for this week, i really need to recharge le. Really wonder if this is the "life" that people are talking about. And i thought that living is doing things that one desires.. even if it is doing nothing.

WLE.
I just don't like the idea of people talking bird language. Done the right thing, but was denied of creditability by the user. It was so demoralizing lor.. and for just that $10 or so. $10 already, and people can use that kind of attitude. Am i wrong to niam the FIs for not doing their job well? It was way more than that $10.. at least 1000 times more.
Darn you FI for all these shit.. And darn the law for dragging this issue for so long. Now want to have the mere remainder back (if any) also like begging like that. I don't see them having this kind of lousy efficiency when they are selling people the structured product lor.
Lack of sleep.. so very very pek chek. The mind like never wake up like that. The brain and hand didn't coordinate at work.. but wasn't too prone to accidents.. in the end it was heavy caffeine that woke me up.
Then again, i wonder why was i there. User came, and they thought how come some school got attachment to this small chocolate factory.. and i don't know what to say. I earned the hat.. i really earned it. I guess i don't have any passion yet.. maybe i see a few more birdman, i'll be inspired to outdo them. It wasn't the lack of utility.. it's just the curve is not on the PPF.
Sometimes really need these kind of people de wor.. if not i think i can twang at work liao.

At least something now.
But still, i'm aching 24/7 all over... plus a little bonus today. 2 fine pieces of chocolate chips got embedded in my fingers. Now i make sure i bring a nail clipper too.. lol.
Slowly but surely, i'm picking up. I don't foresee being as such forever, but this is part of the prerequisite. It will be all that i can absorb during the next few months.. the more i learn, the better it will be.
A bit being able to recognise size by sight, and also to differentiate some of the different types. Also was learning other types as well. However, it is all the custom-made that are the cash cows.. and so knowing the basics is still not enough.
Still going band practices on sundays.. especially when there isn't anyone to back me up. Then the only free day of the week was use to do some last minute shopping. In the end i spend quite a bit on the working attire (wearing jeans is quite uncomfortable lor..), and was so glad that the boutiques are all having 40% discount.. wahaha.. plus my debit card, i get another 10% on top.. wow leh.. haha.. 2 for the price of one, and the other boutique is also the same. Still a little bit more shopping to do in town.. and i wonder where i can borrow the time from.
Coming saturday will be a performance at tbsc. 4pm to reach, but work ends at 6. Maybe apply for EFO (early fall out) and reach before 6 for the sound test ba. 2nd jan, another mini performance.. zzz.. so happening lor.. then feb another one at botanical.. wahhhhhhh.. I wonder how people balance work and personal life.. maybe coz they no need to work 10 hours per day, including saturdays ba.
Recession, but the chocolate factory is lacking staff (skilled one i mean).. sadly, this is one of those jobs that locals will not want to do. Given the same salary, i rather soak myself in air-condition whole day long, and have a seat to sit lor. But i think, slowly, i'm beginning to adapt.
By the way, happy belated bday to parky.. 2 years old liao wor.

Just that little Bit
All it needed was just that little bit of change.
A little bit of change that sets things right. Then the rest will follow.
Had a change of perspective today, and hoped that it got integrated before i forget - "Cause and Effect".
Will be off to the chocolate factory counting chocolates tomorrow morning.. and seriously for most of the past 25 years, i never thought that i would take this path.. at least not as the 1st full-time job after graduation. But so much things that got stacked together and then i end up where i am now. Nothing to lament, and nothing to be glad. A reason for everything, and i accept.
And with change, certain memories are being denied. There is no need to already. Not totally cleared, yet i'm comfortable at this level. Perhaps when i'm old and with nothing to do, nostalgia can be a form of entertainment.
With those emo dodos cleared, i can make better use of those energy. Energy to improve on things around - environment and me. Little changes that goes a long way.
A little bit of change that sets things right. Then the rest will follow.
Had a change of perspective today, and hoped that it got integrated before i forget - "Cause and Effect".

船到桥头
Nobody in the right mind would want a recession.. but when it happened, there's really nothing much an individual can do. Sadly (perhaps thankfully), i was a year late in graduating. By now, the landscape have changed so much that it is no longer easy to find the 'right' job. Nothing like this before.. not 911, not even sars.. and certainly not the 97 crisis can par. So what is it? 1929 in 2009?
As a retail investor, of coz i don't feel happy that my investments are gone like that. Yet on the macro scale, it isn't my wish to see the FIs suffer just becoz of this. Just really too bad that things had to turn out to be as such. Of coz there are certain individuals who really have to take a lot more responsibility then the general public. As such, the free market theory can no longer function under the influence of behavioral finance.
Why do 10,000 investor have to make a lot more s/h suffer? Actually, both parties are the victims - victims of this financial crisis. For who is really responsible, perhaps there is no answer. Finger pointing to history, might as well blame the ones who discover the new world.
Anyway, after the blood-letting of friday (of which IMO is over-reaction in the SR), it just proved that this is no ordinary crisis. Already on the way to 1600 pts and below, 50% of the index wiped out just a year after the bubble.
The usual crowd seems to be hibernating somewhere, even on a saturday. Something is not very right somehow.
Was at boiler today for a belated bday celebration of some sort. Of coz was very delighted in seeing my schoolmates, especially the OG of long ago. Really, i never regret joining the orientation camp 4 years ago, and i wondered whether is it possible to forge such ties in the jobbing world. Too much complications and competition, it won't be easy.
Finally having some hint on my path.. and perhaps might end up in the chocolate factory after all as a replacement. The greater future is too far to foresee, and it is my wish to be of some help after a quarter of a century. It was never the pay, for i owed too much. So long as the village (and the chocolate factory) is safe and sound, i will be very glad.
Will be very busy for the coming month due to some personal matter to attend to (i'm not getting married by the way...lol), and if i fail to attend to any bday celebrations, i will sms the bday wishes.. so no worries. Will only be free around december. And then the finale for this whole load is at NSC on 7th jan (perhaps later due to one more schedule and the outcome) the following year. Hopefully not something in the LR. In some way, it is not something to not worry about, yet it isn't something worth being sleepless over. I'm sure that 船到桥头自然直.

Work Day
Heh.. today was a work day for me. Yes.. i did say i didn't want to work for the holidays. But what harm will there be for a 1 - day event? LOL.. and to our surprise, the pay was good!
However, had to wake up early. Thankfully i went to sleep early the night before. Woke up at 5+ am to get ready. I had FOD to warm me up on the same week.. so waking up early isn't a problem for me..
Shared cab with a friend to marina.. but the lousy driver.. as if he did it in purpose.. we actually went to Farrer Road and then don't know to where.. i thought, there was a road called Thomson Road? The concluding fare was $13+ .. almost twice the amount if the driver didn't make a "mistake".. in my opinion, it there were so many "mistakes" that it seems impossible. If he wasn't the one dreaming, maybe it was me. So he said, "nevermind.. i know i took the wrong path.. you all just pay me $10 can liao..".. and in fact, we were paying for his "mistake".
So i went for the job without knowing what is was about. LOL.. i just heard, we are supposed to give out goodie bags.. and the quote i got was $60 for 7 hour. Hah.. and the while walking.. i realised something was weird.. i saw no. tag on a lot of people.. so i concluded that it was a morning jog of some sort.. but then as i went along.. i noticed that, there isn't any guy runners.. = =
It was in fact, an all ladies run... = = and i got a shock.. they are not the usual "fun" walkers.. not that of the BigWalk.. these are competitive runners. And their result? 30 mins or less for 5KM.. and less than an hour for 10KM. Wah..
The Event - ISHAPE Run'06.

The Flag Off for the 10 KM race.. okok.. i was standing very far.. lol.

Ofiicially an Official of the event.. ^^
And so, the whole event ended at around 2pm.. it was actually quite interesting to see how people worked.. and being through the SMRT Challenge as participants, and this as an "Official".. it was all great learning experience. Not to mention all events of SRC.
I can conclude. SRC really gives us a preview of what was going to happen.. and no 2 events are entirely the same. Same event will give different shit. Ask the Bazzar committee.. they will know. But i think.. the best part of today was, it was $20 more than what we had expected.. try to work that out.. and whoa.. haha..

Come Friday
Everyone is talking about friday. The school kids will get back their 'o' levels result, and even though i've gotten my results ages ago, i can't help but feel anxious. The reason: the toto 10 million draw opens on friday!
So today at my workplace, i placed 'some' bets on quick pick.. sure it was quick, but the numbers don't turn out nice though. A lot of numbers to check.. i do hope to win.. and when i win, i'll quit my job and get my ipod. But it isn't easy. 8 million combination.. and anyone else could win it with a 50 cents quick pick.. the more people buy, the more the prize is shared among. But at least this is something for me to hope. And maybe for all others who had bought.
Workaholic these days.. worked overtime till 11 plus at night. The time of the year where all the sales end, wagon being kept, gondola being set up. Though i have nothing to keep, nothing to set up, i stayed according to my own will.. i guess i'm just plain dumb. I won't get OT pay since my manager knew i need not stay.. i also don't know. Work seems the only thing in my life now.
Maybe was some bad luck or what.. got a cut on my palm while trying to keep a ladder. And it was a deep cut.. plus the skin was dangling.. and haiz.. just didn't concentrate for a moment and this sort of thing happen.
Marketing tomorrow.. supposed to have a 'test' tomorrow.. but i didn't have the time to study.. don't know whether to go or not.. maybe should study and see how? I sort of 'missed' school.. and of coz, TS too.. haha.. Thankfully, i'll be in school the whole toopid day.. coz FI shifted to the 7 pm slot.. and full day in school means no rest for me. And come friday, i'll slog through at work again... and the whole cycle starts before i can 'enjoy' my 'break' on the coming thursday.. haiz.

Butter!
I don't know.. it seems i'm about to lose myself.
Feeling very tired these days.. lack of sleep, lack of time, lack of energy. Work has taken its toll. And i know that this shouldn't be what i'm asking for.. yet it seems, i can't stop myself anymore. Days ago, my manager came toCP.. sort of to get her consignment PO.. but it's been a long time since she showed any 'concern'.. i thought she had left me there to rot.. haha.. to we promoters, what we asked for is support from the office, in terms of stocks, leave and so on.. but more often than not, we are taken for granted.. just because our job isn't specialize.. we are treated like da bian, ma yi, and so on..
So today, our department supervisor kena the butter by the floor manager.. said something nasty.. and i think they have something against her. Just because her pay is high, they want to make things difficult.. so today, saw something rather disturbing..
Past 2 days, didn't fork out a cent for my lunch.. i got treated.. 1st by ah pek, and then by my supervisor.. and they really treat.. my meal cost $17!! when my supervisor treat me and a fellow promoter.. waaah.. we all so paiseh.. so don't blame me for sideing her.. haha.. my brain is washed.
So the past 2 days, skipped all lessons.. coz i was too tired to wake up.. and then thinking of going to work after school makes me more sian.. but then, i felt very guilty.. argh!.. so stressed till all the pimples come out.
My manager asked me if i need someone to share my work.. and for no reason, i said no need.. how stupid.. i could study for the mocks.. argh.. i don't know.. i don't know.. just another 21 days to the end.. i do hope i'll make it.

Am i Dumb Or What?
Thursday - 02 feb: Went school for a full day.. and the night before, we had an agreement, those who came after 9.30am would have to treat the whole group lunch.. and for once, all came so early.. haha.. so it really works huh.
Went FI after such a long break.. and i don't catch any ball at all.. wondering what is the lecturer teaching.. getting worried about my results.. haiz. But was really looking forward to Thursday.. coz it was the only day where i get my 'off'.. and also the only day where i could stay in school and see my friends... of coz not forgetting Table Soccer (TS) !.. but then, the whole world knew of the 'cheat code'.. so it was getting boring waiting for a chance..
And then after a full day in school, met up with wm and anni to jam.. after about half a year.. we got together to 'practice' again.. but then we were very lousy.. compared to the band next room.. haha.. so we made up a lot of excuses and jokes to cover ourselves. Before we left, the uncle gave us 3 packets of drinks.. said it was 'complimentary'.. hahaa.. then we were wondering.. maybe he gave us drinks so as to 'beg' us not to go back again? .. lol. Finally wm agreed to let go of drumming.. haha.. so we are now looking for a drummer.. we are having 2 guitarist.. so should be alright.
While on the way home.. saw someone from my secondary school.. wanted to avoid alighting at the same busstop, i went to wm's place for a short visit.. and at the sam time bai nian.. at around 11pm = =. But it wasn't my intention.. but still, his mom gave me a red packet.. haha.. so pai seh.. lol.
Friday - 03 Feb: Slept till late noon.. before having a 'haircut' and going to bt's place for gathering. And then it was a mistake to cut my hair.. as always. I now looked koo koo again.. haha.. but then wait till my work 'contract' ends.. i should be going to have a botak head.. lol.
Reached bt's place by cab.. the journey is very long by bus.. so had to 'invest' a bit.. afterall, the gathering at bt's place was to 'bai nian'.. or in english, to gamble. Overall, think i had won some.. or maybe i lost some? haha.. i don't really know.. but then it was very fun! Small win at mahjong too.. haha.. so i rather play mj then blackjack.
Think it was becoz i seldom see the people in school nowadays.. or maybe i don't know.. but it's great to hang out with friends (and i mean a lot of them) once in a while.. and sometimes, having them for support really comforts a lot. Saw almost the whole of welfare department get together.. with the different years taking part.. ohh.. haha.. today we also celebrated our newly elected Head of Welfare's birthday.. so good to have so many people celebrate birthday with.
So played mj till 1.30am.. argh.. and then we left for home. Special thanks to Mr salty for sponsoring the cab fare, and also those who 'unwillingly contrubuted' to his wallet.. hahaa..
So i did went home today, never stay at bt's place.. haha.. though i'm wilful.. and i know it, i guess i've slowly beginning to realise something. Maybe then, there are some things that never change. But then these few days.. i don't know what happened.. it was arrogance and aggression taking over.. hopefully these things don't become a part of me..
But then, i wondered.. how come people like to tripod.. haiz.. and those kena tripod-ed chose to believe too.. a great 'survival' strategy.. but then it was only for the way up during work.. towards friends.. where else can we go? But then again.. some people are just like that, and will never change.. by telling them the facts, i'm actually being seen as no manners.. what the? I do agree.. i said things in a crude and sarcastic way.. my fault too.. haha.. aiya.. to each of their own ba.. don't come and disturb my life.
Seeing things i don't want to see.. and choosing to ignore.. or maybe forget.. or maybe it just don't matter anymore? Sometimes i really feel very shitty over certain things the are actually very simple and worthless.. but to me, it meant a lot.. not the kind where outsiders can understand easily.. and not only that, they have no rights to intervene.. but still people want to pull and others want to push.. it was black, then white, then black again, and then white again.. till the whole area became grey.
Haha.. the whole entry shifted the whole focus.. LOL.. i was too stressed up over exams, work and all other smaller and greater things. And for the don't know how many times.. Not that i don't want to quit.. i'm just being stubborn.. held to my so called principles.. just because my manager can't find anyone to take over.. so i assumed responsibility.. haha.. am i dumb or what?

CNY 2006
3rd day of CNY tomorrow.. and i've got to go work again.. sianz.. and think i muz have eaten too much bah kua.. now having a sore throat.. plus fever.. slept through the whole day without doing much.. didn't eat much also.. it's an agony to be ill.
Not really looking forward to the month of february coz having a full working schedule.. plus the coming mocks.. so my schedule for the coming week might be, work on tuesday, work plus clubbing on wednesday, full day in school and jamming after that.. and welfare gathering at bt's place on friday, then working on saturday and then to SRC ex president's place and then work on sunday again. Where is the time to study? My february is full.... well, maybe except on 14th? Hahaa.. coz nobody date me.
But then its ok.. right now i just want my sore throat to get better .. if not i won't be able to sell a thing tomorrow.. haha.. and then looking forward to my february incentive.. waah.. confirm rice bucket!
It seems CNY getting boring year after year, but only almost once a year where i get to meet my relatives.. and especially the kids, they seems to grow extremely fast.. And for this year, it seems special. The ban on gambling was lifted for the first time.. and for that, we could play mahjong. Dad uses my 'name' to get approval from her mom.. and it was as if only me who wanted to play.. but in the end i played with my grandpa and uncle plus my cousin.. they are so li hai! They can tell the tiles we are waiting.. so in the end i lost $1.60, and my cousin lost $6.10.. haha.. our generation are still not ready to take them on.
So it was to my mom's side.. and there turned from a wine drinking to alcohol tah-ing.. And me always seems to be out of place.. haha.. i was with the elder generation again.. haha.. like a bit mismatch.. but we all, my mom, dad, 2 uncles and 2 aunts finished the whole bottle of jw.. 43%.. waah.. haha.. so fierce ah they all.. but all are great drinkers.. haha.. no wonder.. no wonder.. ah.. and then my throat starts to hurt.. dad says coz my whiskey neat goes down too quickly.. haha.. and i refuse to believe.. youngsters are like that.. they don't listen until it happens to them..
Thinking of going back to work on a PH makes me more ill.. haiz.. imagine all the people that are free to go shopping.. it shall be a busy day tomorrow.

An Ultra Weird Day
Day 1/35: Today is a weird day. The weather is weird too.. so i was feeling weird all over. 1st day of everything and i almost fell ill. Practically having no sleep at all.. when i wanted to, i couldn't sleep.. and when i fell asleep, toopid mosquitoes woke me up. They seems to prefer to fly around the ears.. why can't they just shut up and suck my blood? Must they wake me up as well?.. toopid mosquitoes.
Was late for school today, again. And Mr Ram teach like machine gun.. 15 mins can teach 5 powerpoint slides. LBO for the 1st time seems ok for me.. haha.. but i noticed something, they always cover both sides.. sort of being indecisive.. i don't know.. maybe it was just me. But Law alone has many overlaps.. that's why people can get charged for 40+ counts.. now i know why.. but how to write essay like that? A lot to write, all in point forms only.
Megabites for lunch today.. and the fried rice cmi. Like stone like that.. no wonder it cost $2.50.. maybe the NP people eat finish all the tasty ones.. haha.. That day at work, ate a $5 plate of fried rice.. waaah.. never ate any fried rice that nice before.. i think is prawn paste or something like that.. haha.. and now i can't take my eyes off that $6 XO sauce fried rice. It was love in the first degree. So i was lost in emotion.. never gonna give it up and together forever we stay.. haha.. Maybe can blame it on the boogie... muahaha.. crap.
Going crazy over fried rice.. i'm so weird. Haha.. But it just gets too tiring to go to school.. plain lazy i guess.. Went to work after school and lunch.. and then i got there just in time.. haha.. i'm pro. Didn't want to rush.. took my time. And maybe i was just stubborn over certain things.. muahaha.. stubborn and indecisive.. these things doesn't go well together.
Reached the selling floor in a rather agitated mood.. haha.. and then i just spent the whole day cleaning my counter without making any sales. Not my brand.. but a lot of others... i can claim 3 - 4 sets of pay from the companies already. And so cleaned until i got bored climbing up and down.. then i went to fold the towels.. and before i knew it, it was time for dinner. Went with the xiao mei mei promoter.. but i think their thinking quite matured.. haha.. when i was their age, it seems i was very kiddy.. waahaha.. what was i thinking back then? Think i'm really lagging for a number of years.
9 pm, time to go.. but last minute got customer.. no choice had to serve.. so in the end OT till 9.30.. argh.. i don't have OT pay! Very tiring day.. and it will just be the first. And it seems my time isn't enough.. My only 'free' day is Thursday.. but i got full day lessons.. and then that wm wants to Jam on that day.. studio was booked.. and think i gonna butter him that day.. haha..
Saw the osim ihorse or dunno what.. haha.. it was damn funny.. and i don't know how the promoters are going to sell it. It just don't looked right to me. I mean.. what can it do? Just shake backside nia.. and you think one will get slim? Hahaa.. call me. I give the recepie for sliming. Anyway.. the name also sounds weird.. like ipod like that.. hahaaa.. some things are just weird.
I don't understand.. but i think i don't have to energy to find out. Found out some things.. but don't have to energy to confront it. I think just let it be and let me live.

Oreo And Milo
One more day to camp discovery.. looking forward.. coz it will be our last project. And it shall embed in my memory. And i think it shall be fun! Rain? No fear.. i only fear lightning. More or less i've got all the things ready... and looking through, i thought i was going off for a chalet.. lol.
Meanwhile at the selling floor: Today got a lot of butter.. coz the bright orange sticker was pasted in front and my counter was dusty.. haha.. but i think that's because there isn't much customer.. so they just want to do something to entertain themselves. So it was a busy day.. climbed up and down to clean the shelves, re-pasted all the stickers.. and i still find it very boring. No customers at all! All waiting for the members' night.. luckily i won't be working this
weekend.. haha.. let them handle the crowd. Made a few more friends today.. i guess the number never stops.. they just come and go.. come and go..
A few week didn't chiong.. and suddenly didn't have the crave for it.. luckily i'm not addicted.. if not i'll have a hole in my pocket.. RELC is going to burn a hole soon.. and i think i won't be able to cover the 2K within these 2 months.. have to shelf my ipod and laptop dream for now. Parents not going to sponsor me with the school fees anymore.. so it's up to me.. how sad.. all 'income' went to my school fees.. So where got money to buy beer? Hahaa... Now i need money to buy food.. had lost 2kg coz of irregular eating habits.. haiz.. if anyone wants to lose weight, try being on a selling floor.. i mean those big big floor.. not counter.. that one will make people gain weight instead.
It rained all day again... and it rained after work. Even with an umbrella, i was drenched.. the ground was flooded and dinosaurs (with umbrellas) were running.. so they splash the water here and there.. how horrible! Luckily my shoes are water resistant... haha.. It's so cold these days.. and stepping on the floor is just like stepping on ice... maybe when it rained more, i can start ice skating.
Now i beginning to like Oreo more.. haha.. i also like Milo.. i want my Milo.. haha..

Day Before Concert
Oh great.. skipped Alumni band and went SWE instead. Tomorrow will be concert day, and now then i realised that a few of them are in SWE too.. spies! Hahaa.. so they can return to WSS to report of my whereabouts. Today's rehearsal was one of my best so far.. didn't really practice and without much support too.. But then didn't incur the wrath of the conductor.. so i guess should be alright.. haha. Its been bothering me too much.. thankfully it'll be over tomorrow.
And then my manager wants to stunt me again.. asked me to work 3 hours tomorrow.. haha.. at Taka somemore.. haha.. so had to wake up early for the morning shift. Argh.. can't sleep early today coz had my usual nap in the afternoon.. and somemore just got back no long ago and having my supper.. so had to wait another 2 hours.. if not i'll have a tummy.
Suddenly see the light everywhere.. haha.. just maybe i'm running out of time. And the theory of the chain of events work. So this is one of the important link too.. and i've let it corrode too much. Time to salvage.. haha.
And so i think my 'evil' manager wants me to work for her till i old.. coz a lot of her promoters quit after getting 'played out' by her.. and then all the evil things come if you are not on the same side.. haha.. but for me.. i think the most is work till end of feb.. i need to study.. (i know i've been only saying.. but then.. nevermind..) Still trying to find the spark to start my engine.. but i guess it's still frozen somewhere.
Still trying to find jay's mtv.. but can't.. and then i saw the part two of the mtv on SCV.. under another song of another singer.. waaah! So there was a plot.. haha.. sort of like links like that. I remembered that windstruck also had that sort of link..Speaking of scv.. was so busy working noon shift that i've missed a lot of the jap show... arh.. then no aww for me.. haha. And scv going to show type B bf.. haha.. wanted to watch that time.. but no one was free.. or they have watched it already.. so finally had the chance to watch without having to go to cinema alone.. haha..
Suddenly felt very excited about camp D.. Coz finally we are better prepared and also this time round is on a smaller scale.. Free of Charge somemore! 12 - 24.. that means one exco to 2 freshies.. haha.. it's peanuts! last time was 12 - 160+ + with some excos falling sick and was further complicated by GMs and OGLs.. so.. i'm prepare to enjoy myself this coming weekend. And i think.. we'll be going KM8 to chill out during the 1st or 2nd night officially. Haha.. knew some freshies 'escaped' from last FOC.. closed one eye.. haha.. but now.. heh.. it's official.
And now i know i'm always being willful. Knew that i would be tired if i didn't sleep.. yet i did it because i want to. Haha.. now slowly beginning to understand.. should have some degree of control.. like sleep, eat and all that.. even studies too. ( i know i know.. i only say but never do rite.. ) Still wanting to have it my way. When i get sick of it, i'll pass it over.. soon i guess.
Next week will be another busy week. It'll be work, school and SRC.. but at least i know i'd have fun. And maybe make my ice melt a bit. Haha..
Tomorrow's concert, not fully prepared.. and given off my 2 tickets to someone else.. haha.. i had no use for them anymore. But finally got the feel of warmth when the 3 bands combined.. haha.. and we are supposed to be the main focus.. but seems weak.. but i don't know.. maybe after this i'll sell away my instrument.. and 'retire'.. haha.. but i know i won't bear to let go. Such were the typical me. Even if i sold my instrument, they'll still provide me with the 'house' instrument.. No escape whatsoever.. ah. .but i prefer to join the trumpet section.. haha.. well.. it's worth considering.. but i know wss will try to 'force' me back.. that's why i hate to go back.
Well.. all the best to me and all the 3 bands on the stage tomorrow!

As Always
I think my stomach spoilt already. Kept having the runs every morning.. and my legs also spoilt. Everything also spoilt. Haiz. Still very tired as always. Didn't intend to go to school this morning because still not feeling well the day before.. but still did.. coz i panic. Soon i'll press the panic button. Mock exams just 2 months away and the finals a total of 4 months. Actually there is very very very little time left.. and then they bill me the examination fee.. Don't really know what to do with it.. Another 2 k drained. It seems weird.. when i paid the school fees myself, the more i won't want to study.. coz i don't need to answer to myself.. but when it was paid by the village chief, i had to answer to him.. so no choice really had to study... haiz.. why do they invent exams?
Finally the found the lost parcel.. heng arh.. if not the $500 worth of bed linen.. i won't know who will be responsible.. It shows something.. there are good people in this world! A big thanks to auntie kat for helping while i was away. So evil of me.. did a lot of 'shit' for people to pick.. Hahaa.. was very relieved.. next time i won't do that kind of sales again.. coz i put all my trust in my manager.. and then i got played out. And when customer comes, they look for me.. not my manager.. what's the point of staying then? I won't trust anymore.. But then.. haha.. as always.
And today had band practice all the way at tampines.. was too tired, so had a nap.. then was late, and it rained somemore.. what could be worse? So i took cab there again.. and again, it was $12.50.. haha.. but was caught in a jam.. haiz.. so boring. So today was so paiseh.. coz wasn't a good player.. kept playing wrong notes.. and the conductor like going to cry like that.. haha.. felt so guilty. Actually i don't want to play for them... but then they did not have enough players.. so asked me knowing that i couldn't attend practices.. and then now they sad coz i can't play well.. haha.. please.. And year after year.. i said that it'll be my last practice.. but in the end.. haha.. as always.
And then the other band tried to enforce.. hahaa.. hahaa.. to me.. i don't really care. If you want, please ask. Act as if i owe them.. i don't owe anyone. Don't make it such as my fault.. And of coz.. a lot more.. but i don't wish to say. Maybe just go back this saturday to see what pattern they going to 'chute'... where got people like that one.. practice from 8am to 6pm.. they think they superman lor.. haha.. crap. Anyway, i just dislike when they start all this rubbish... as always.

Crying Out~!
Just finished watching "Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World" on scv.. This time round, it was the drama version.. seems like an extended version.. a bit slower in pace and more detailed.. but every moment of it was so aww-ing. Too bad i missed the first 2 episode.. but i've watched the movie version before on vcd. Very nice too.. and very sad also.. hmm.. maybe i getting old already.. not much emotions left.. blood getting colder.. haha.. just waiting for an embrace to thaw everything.
Now then i discovered, i didn't went to work yesterday.. and there isn't anyone to stand in for me. How blur can my manager be.. told her i won't be free already.. haiz.. so tomorrow had to work again. But i calculated.. at this rate i'm going.. i might get around $900 plus this month in total.. haha.. not much.. but decent for doing nothing.. the only opportunity cost is the 'depreciation' of my brain.. and maybe my weight also. Had lost around 1kg since last week.. haiz.. coz didn't have regular eating hours during work and also haven't been feeling well.
Having the runs these few days.. must be something wrong i ate? But i loved to eat.. haha.. so had to think of the consequences before eating.. Just yesterday, went to turf city to have dinner with the villagers.. and well.. it doesn't taste too good to me.. but so long as the village chief and his wife love it, i'm ok.. haha.. though me and my sis kept asking for a can of cola.. haha.. just like little kids. But we didn't get it in the end.. coz mum say no.. hmm.. what to do? Her birthday celebration.. so she had the final say.
Still thinking of what to get for her birthday.. maybe the promotion bedsheet set? Haha.. $99 for something worth $300+.. i think it's a worth buy! Haha.. but still must think properly.. coz we always end up buying things we don't really need during sales.. haha.. just like one customer that i served that day.. she was looking for a super single quilt cover (rare item).. but in the end she went to the cashier with 1 bolster, 2 pillows, 1 super single bedsheet set (with a single quilt cover) and 1 queen bedsheet set.. and notice that the super single quilt isn't on the list.. hahaa..
Working really consume a lot of time.. its just like selling time doing nothing constructive.. but for me.. maybe less time will generate more time. I don't know where's the logic.. but suddenly i don't spent so much time rotting.. and finally not falling asleep reading my notes. But still having difficulty catching up.. its really not the time to work.. and to think that i don't really need that extra cash.. i wondered what is this all about.
Concert coming soon.. and i practiced a bit at home.. and so today i self declare day off again.. actually nope.. coz had the runs again.. haha.. and i fear that it'll be like CV that time.. suddenly faint how? zx, hz, alan and the junior jj not there to drag me.. haha. .then i malu on my way to school.. so to play safe.. i stayed.
Already very guilty .. so did some studying at home.. since after xmas.. didn't have the time to rest coz of work.. so took time off and slow my pace a bit. Kind of rewarding.. haha.. and i got my haircut.. hah... by myself. Another miscue and my hair looks koo koo again.. as always.
So was having my evening nap when JJ called ... told me 2 of them not going for Camp D.. wondered why.. but going to put 2 replacement in.. and i think 1 more not going too.. and i wondered why again.. its FREE! and seems like a holiday chalet to me. The Excos now are all seasoned and well adapted to organising.. haha.. (sorry ah.. very confident.. haha.. ) Of coz.. after what we all weathered.. i guess it proves that nothing will knock us down.. yeah! But i heard that the ex excos aren't involved in this year's Camp D.. but it doesn't mean that we are not showing any respect.. it is earned.. not asked.. I still regard all my seniors as my seniors and friends. Regardless of what appointment i hold.. its only for a while.. i know it and never did i abuse it. But sometimes too many cooks spoil the soup. And not letting go isn't very nice.. haha.. so this 20th.. i'll be officially off duty.. yay! Maybe i'll still go back to the Bazaar to look see look see.. haha.. hmm.. maybe not? Haha.. i got so sick of it year after year.. see how it goes.
Also received call from wm.. asked me to accompany him eat dinner.. then i just woke up.. had a quick dinner at home 1st and then got ready to leave home.. suddenly he called and asked me 'you really want to eat or not?'.. then i knew it.. haha.. want to play pang seh again.. but i understand.. coz his gf asked him for dinner.. haha.
New year new objectives.. just hope that i can keep it going.. But its too early to tell. By the way, heard some wind sound.. haha.. and i find it very amusing.. it does affect me a bit.. but haiz.. what can i say? It isn't my mouth.. haha.. i'm too old to go to war.. and my mentality doesn't allow me.. so what do i say? Well.. just let it be.. haha.. i think i've cut my antenna off already.. already won't be feeling so much.. i just need to verify it. haha.. soon it'll tell.
Haiz.. 1 am now.. think i study another hour before sleeping.. still have to practice on my horn tomorrow morning.. coz rehearsal is on thursday.. argh.. i just need to endure through this week.. maybe this month.. nope.. maybe till after exams.. argh.. i'm so stressed..

Maybe i'll still go back to the Bazaar to look see look see.. haha.. hmm.. maybe not? Haha.. i got so sick of it year after year.. see how it goes.
Also received call from wm.. asked me to accompany him eat dinner.. then i just woke up.. had a quick dinner at home 1st and then got ready to leave home.. suddenly he called and asked me 'you really want to eat or not?'.. then i knew it.. haha.. want to play pang seh again.. but i understand.. coz his gf asked him for dinner.. haha.
New year new objectives.. just hope that i can keep it going.. But its too early to tell. By the way, heard some wind sound.. haha.. and i find it very amusing.. it does affect me a bit.. but haiz.. what can i say? It isn't my mouth.. haha.. i'm too old to go to war.. and my mentality doesn't allow me.. so what do i say? Well.. just let it be.. haha.. i think i've cut my antenna off already.. already won't be feeling so much.. i just need to verify it. haha.. soon it'll tell.
Haiz.. 1 am now.. think i study another hour before sleeping.. still have to practice on my horn tomorrow morning.. coz rehearsal is on thursday.. argh.. i just need to endure through this week.. maybe this month.. nope.. maybe till after exams.. argh.. i'm so stressed..
