Hey guys, I have officially moved out from this blog. Visit my new blog at http://cousins-area.blogspot.com/ (^_^) It would be a join blog with my cousins. See ya!

2006-07-23T07:11:00.000-07:00

Finally everything is over. Guess the only thing i miss is driving the train. No more train to drive. :( I'm going back to my retail job, just one day ba.. some extra income to do my shopping.. haha..

2006-07-15T05:43:00.000-07:00

My life is getting more and more routined. Life is getting so tiring and terrible. I can't beautify my resume cos I'm working in jobs that don't give me much experiences.
I have to drag myself to tuition every Mon, Wed and Fri. My student is just so so so irritating!! haiz.. all he knows how to say is "You lie to me" Really feel like vomiting blood while teaching him. He can't sit still at all, and he kept complaining that he has no energy to write so I've to write for him instead. My goodness!! In my younger days, during my tuition and I sat still for 2 whole hours so why can't he?? I totally don't get it.
As for my part-time job. I only can conclude that I hate birds and the sun! Most of my colleagues have been teasing me. They said that this is the first time they saw a person who chose to work outdoor,who kept putting on sunblock every 3 hours. haha.. that person is none other than me. I think i'll turn into a black crow if I don't. I've been investing alot on sunblock lotion, whitening creams and moisturizing stuff. I believe all the money i've earned for this month, has been returned to the economy. I even tore my contact lenses, spent $250 replacing them!! Bad luck!! *sobs*
Finally, my cousin and I can earn a slightly higher rate after passing our train driving. I would say that driving a train is 'chicken feet', but I really hate to go get the train in the morning. Every morning I struggle to open the door of the train. I always had to call for help. :p The guys would come and ask me to show them my muscles or they will ask me to eat more the next morning. wahaha.
While driving you might want to pray that there is no major fault or you will have to be a 'spiderwoman' and crawl thru the cabins to open the windows.
When I can't drive i'll be posted either to do ticketing or guiding at the stations. Just stand there to control the crowd, get pressured by tour guides and scolded by the guest. =(
I think that the end of my boring current life (-_-)

2006-07-08T19:03:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a bad day for me. It was the first time I really felt mad and argued with a guest. It was wrong on my part, but I truely feel sometimes good service does start with customers too.

2006-06-25T05:06:00.000-07:00

Good teachers don't force talent, they work on the child's talent.

2006-05-23T02:38:00.000-07:00

Finally, I found a part-time job. It's a 5 1/2 days job, with not a very high pay. But at least its more fun there and I like no skill jobs. :p It's at Jurong BirdPark!! Yeah! I can learn to drive the panorail or izzit monorail? oops..

2006-05-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

I'm kind of at the verge of giving up. Maybe i'm just not fit to study a degree. Super tough!! There are too much negative thoughts going through my head. I've got no high hopes, just a pass or a general degree will make me happy.
Can't stand my life anymore. It's so miserable, really can't wait for my last paper to be over. Just get everything over and done with! Never had I been though so much pressure, and after studying my course for 5-6 months, I'm still unconfident of even a pass.
Whatever! A dumb girl who just can't study at all.
I'm just so upset! After all the hard work, and yet no reward. Haiz.. I think i've just got to face the reality that I just not good enough. I lack things in every aspects, there isn't a single thing that i can do good. Not even writing an entry, you guys must be bored with my nagging. I shall shut up! tata.

2006-05-05T07:17:00.000-07:00

I'm really looking forward to this holiday! Hope I can find a part-time job to keep myself occupied. Maybe a 9 to 5 job will be good, i've had enough of retail line, standing all day and can't seem to learn much.
There is so much to do!! Watch television, sleepzz.. haha.. Be a miss piggy!! Wahaha..
Guess i'll enrole for some courses in the community centre. Maybe nail art or knitting, and peranakan beading.. hope i can find the time.

2006-04-14T09:51:00.000-07:00

This is getting extremely frustrating! I kept drafting and re-drafting what i wish to write for my essay, but it seems like i'll just never get it right.
Sociology is just a super tiring subject even though it's not that tough afterall. I just can't seem to make up my mind which format is better.
Everyone seem to be progressing but i'm still standing at the same spot.Guess i'm just dumb!!

2006-03-30T02:07:00.000-08:00

I am so sick and tired of staying at home almost everyday to study study study!! I am turning crazy!!! So much to complete.. There is one more month to exams, wish i'll perform better this time round..
I can't seem to get enough of shopping.. hee.. I hope i can find a job during my 3 months break.. Elaine, let go buy more new clothes and accessories!!

2006-03-10T05:12:00.000-08:00

It's been a rocky week! Mock exams are over. Seems like i'm going to fail every single paper. Just hope i don't fail so badly. I need to take a break, adjust my sleeping time and get back to work!!

2006-03-06T06:20:00.000-08:00

Always look on the bright side of life! (^_^) Totally can't wait for shopping friday!!

2006-02-27T00:13:00.000-08:00

Somethings are better left unsaid.
Just hope that time will stop at this moment and I won't have to fear about the future.
I will prepare myself, but the fact is that I will never be prepared.

2006-02-22T06:49:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling miserable.. Everyday is study study study.. I rather work. Be unhappy at work, but when i see the money, it all pays off.
Now I've to pay alot of money to the school and yet suffer!! Urgh!! I've yet to finish studying accounts. That means there is only one week left to study sociology. haiz..
Will I be able to do it??

2006-02-15T02:49:00.000-08:00

Some things can be easily settled, but yet there are people who can't do it.

2006-02-02T01:25:00.000-08:00

I'm been trying to study and work very very hard. Having a tough time preparing for the mock exams on March. Super broke and i still have to fork out $183.75 to pay for my UOL revision classes. haiz big big hole in my pocket!!

I'm trying my best not to spend so much. Rule no. 1: No new clothes; Rule no. 2: No expensive food; Rule no. 3: No buying or renting of shows for me this few months till i work during my holidays. SAVE SAVE SAVE!!! (^_^)

2006-01-27T06:28:00.000-08:00

Are you a good friend?
What's your definition of a good friend?

My Opinion (Just a few on the top of my list so you won't have to read a long entry.hee. considerate leh!! haha) :

Good Friend

Need not be always here for me, I know we lead different lives. Just meet up when we're free! :)
*Forgive & forget! (We aren't perfect in everything we do)
Honesty! What's more important than being honest to each other.
To me, chemistry is not only important in BGR but also friendship.
Someone who's not selfish. (Or i'll be better off with my house's fish)

Bad Friend

Talking behind my back (who doesn't do that, even I do. But who likes it!)
*We shall not talk about money! Or at least return them on time if you have taken them. Or it shall be considered as stealing! (You know who you are! Cheapo!! Money is a sensitive topic! Anyway, those who still owe me money shall suffer from bad karma-shall be cleared if you return soon, cos i'll pray for you! wahaha..)
Using silly tricks! (It's about time to grow up)

Difficult right? As I always say, "A dog is still a man's best friend!" haha.. goodbye folks!

2006-01-04T00:59:00.000-08:00

My long-term bf.. cutie!!

Life imprisonment :p

2006-01-01T05:38:00.000-08:00

Feeling low lately.. Seems like there isn't anyone i could reach out too.. Wish i could just give up in everything.. start anew!! If only i could turn back time..

2005-12-28T21:33:00.000-08:00

I'm on stress mode.. Never hated a subject this much before.. I hate Sociology!! Super irritating!!

2005-12-26T04:57:00.000-08:00

Just want to thank everyone for wishing me a happy birthday yesterday!! A late Merry Christmas to everyone!! Not that late afterall, cos x'mas got 12 days wat.. :) Thanks for all the gifts! Really love all of them.. thank you all once again. (^_^)

2005-12-18T05:01:00.000-08:00

I love yesterday! I shopped with my cousin till i dropped.. of cos that costed a hole in my pocket. :p I bought a top from espirit for $19.90, a skirt and top from double index. :) so now i have 4 tops and 3 skirts for all the festive seasons. Not forgetting that i finally purchased my korean shows. (^_^)

Christmas is the same every year. I hope i've got enough time to spend with you. I'm not sure.. there might be changes again due to my tight schedule every year. :( This year, we will be celebrating christmas on the 24th, so i've to prepare food for the family gathering; i suggested baked potato to my parent. haha. my specialty :p super easy to cook, and absolutely delicious. keke. :p Can't wait for the gift sharing session, i'll like everything you all buy for me, it's the thought that counts and most of all it's FREE. oops..

I haven't been to Orchard at night to see the lightings, hope i've the chance. Heard from my cousin that Tangs's decoration is beautiful this year!

There's something coming down from Bukit Batok to my house. so bright! I've got to go see.. tata.. Happy holidays people!!

2005-12-09T02:42:00.000-08:00

I totally lack the drive to study.. haiz.. it's so tough.. endless reading and i've to make my own notes.. Urgh!! I miss poly dayz.. I don't even need to read my textbook or understand what is the subject all about, and the least i got is a C grade.. I'm so sick of the textbooks, and lousy notes that were provided by my lecturers.. Super irritating and frustrating..

Extremely sick and tired of my life.. I've quit my job, stop my biz, but there still isn't enough time.. I need a break!! Looking forward to life after my exams, that will be around june or july i guess.. Now, I shall continue to suffer in silence.. good bye my friends..

2005-12-06T02:58:00.000-08:00

Everyday is a boring day! Haven't complete socio essay and 2 accounts assignment :( so much to do, so little time.

Finally, i found the time to meet up with a poly friend, we went to orchard and bugis. Well i couldn't get anything for myself, but i managed to buy a x'mas gift, it's quite heavy. hope she'll like it.

Good news: At last! I'm making some profit from my earring biz. Yeah!!

The bowling session was so fun yesterday.. I think we spend most of our time cursing the group of teenagers playing.. haha.. Super funny.. (^-^)

This was wat happened: During the dec holi, there is a promotion of $1 per game from 9am -12pm.. This group of youngster took their own sweet time, half way thru their game, they sat at a table and had their breakfast.. My goodness! there were so many pple waiting for their turn.. super irritating!! I guess ugly s'poreans are nutured since young.. :p

2005-11-28T21:35:00.000-08:00

Shanny's a good girl today! I went to Arab Street alone to purchase some materials.. Walked pass a pet shop so bought my little darling 3 snacks for x'mas,placed them under the x'mas tree for him. :) So proud of myself.. Good owner right? :p

Finally, i decided to bath him after quite some time..haha.. Didn't do much, thus there's nothing to update.. I just wanna study hard and complete my education.. That's all folk, see you nxt time.. ^.~

2005-11-24T19:30:00.000-08:00

Somethings should never have happened...

2005-11-23T17:10:00.000-08:00

It's time for Christmas shopping once again.. In the past, I used to love it. Helping my mum shop for gifts.. Now it's irritating!! When i ask them what they want, they don't seem to have an ans.. haiz.. don't bluff.. I know you guys like gals at this age lahz.. so i've decided to get you all each a barbie doll.. Wahaha.. (^-^)

Cant think of any gifts to buy! Anyone has any ideas?

*Please note tt the gals not very girly 1 leh.. so jewelry stuff is a big NO NO..

BIG HEADACHE!! SOS.. HELP!!
Will be having a short economics test tomorrow.. Not very prepared, but who cares! Since it's not accounted for.. :p haha..

2005-11-18T07:00:00.000-08:00

I have received a complain from my cousin that i haven't been updating my blogger.. so this entry is dedicated to her.. :p

Oh well.. a update on my dying business.. In case, you don't understand what i'm talking about.. i meant my earring business that i started on the month of July 2005.. After 5 months, i'm finally running out of patience.. and closing down.. For a start, i invested $551, but as months when by it total to $1046.41 (that's where the stress comes from) Till today, i'm still making an approximate loss of $262.. (-_-)

To why i'm giving up, the major 2 factors are:

I'm exhasted and
My studies demand more time from me now.

Guess i'll be having a clearance sales soon at my fren's site.. wish me luck!

Umm.. my feelings: "What a relief!!" even though i'm still making a loss.. it has been a great experience.. Not a good thing to try for a weak-hearted: Stress factor in high (i think i need to go for a check-up on my blood pressure :p) unless you don't give a damn about your money. Everyday you will be so worried if your money turns.. haha..

I've so many people to thank! Firstly, the lady boss of THE GREENPETALS, she has been a great help, especially since most of my money were generated back at her store. :)

Next, to all my loved ones, who travelling weekly with me to get those materials.

Quick thanks to my friends, Elaine, Aunt Jenny, Aunt Marie, Aunt Laiyuen, Aunt Eilian, and Aunt Lilian. Thanks for all the support, comments and help in sales of my earrings! (^_^)

2005-10-27T00:33:00.000-07:00

Finally! I'm back to blogging. It seems like there are endless things to be done. These days, my morale is so low, aimlessly going to and fro school. My earring business is as bad as usual. "Stress" is the best word to describe how i'm feeling, as i can't seem to think of a range of new designs to place at Far East. Part of me feels like giving up, i not sure to how long can i continue on with such a life with so little rest. Inspiration is the key to my miseries.
