Boredom

Today was the most shit day at work. It's the QAQC thing. It's killing me. I only went through 1.5 files in like 2 hours? I don't know. I just can't keep myself awake doing it. It's insanely monotonous -.-
Aiya... The office is like shit now. All the 'politics'. People being mean to each other. I am quite pissed actually. Oh well.

Anyways... SMU called me up for an interview today. I wasn't expecting it so soon. Application isn't even closed yet. I was thinking of going to Fun-O-Rama or something but doesn't seem like I can anymore la. Plus after the interview, I have to go home fast and prepare for Commissioning Ball. Must do hair and make-up. Shall attempt to look older. I hope I'm not the only retard wearing a gown. Somemore mine is mermaid style. Drags on the floor. Please pray for me that I won't fall. SIGH! I don't wanna look like an idiot!

Suffering now. Think Tony was very thoughtful. He boiled water for me this noon. Thanks! But I don't drink from styrofoam cups! The boiling water melts something and my green tea turns yellow. It doesn't do it when I drink out of my mug. Therefore, the styrofoam is melting. Chemicals! Not good.

2200 hours. Time to sleep!

Allow us to be FRANK

He is so... FUNNY! Is he dumb? Haha. No no, I really think he is trying to act cute. And my fellow Operations Control Officer, please don't lie! I know you love his "gorgeous face". Now the whole world knows! It's really entertaining when he appears huh. And you always see us eating cos you come whenever we need to eat. He told my mum the "cute Chinese girl from the pump room gave this[raincoat] to me" and then winked at her. Wa if he knew that I'm her daughter he wouldn't say that lor. Sure get whacked by my mum.

Went down to the tailor for gown fitting yesterday. When I was reaching, I called the guy and guess what... The seamstress went home already. WTH... I was already at Tanglin Mall. Waste my mum's petrol lor. He should refund me the amount for petrol and the implicit costs, which include the opportunity cost of time! I could've been home earlier and slept earlier. Do you know I have to wake up at 0430 hours everyday? Do you think I enjoy it? NO! That day I was so bloody tired, I couldn't keep my balance and walked into the cupboard ok... I still have the bruise as evidence!

Facial just now. SHIOK! Slept damn well. Did waxing also. My mum said I cannot go to the company BBQ looking like that. She asked me to put some make up on so I don't look sick all the time. I look sick meh? Since when? My skin got alot of colour. Got tan and red from pimples. Anyway, waxing is very nice la. The nice kind of pain I find. But today not painful at all. And her wax applicator is damn cool. Looks like a glue gun. Haha. The wax was nice and warm! Tomorrow's BBQ is at Fraser Suites. Spent like $1000 on booze today. We already have 400 over cans of beer in the store room. Not enough! Apparently they drink like fish. The women can drink 5 cans. There's a guy who said he can drink 2 bottles of wine. Seriously?!

GW caused a blackout! I don't care. Retribution from taking company water. Haha! 182, please wear your safety glasses more often.

Who the hell

This morning, he gave me an odd look. Both of them actually. Those Norwegian guys. They are very funny. I'm still trying to figure out which cartoon character that guy looks like. Like we said, not Danny Fenton. Danny Fenton is too good looking. Haha. I love Danny Fenton. It is Fenton right? Not Phantom? Ok... So I obviously don't love him enough to know his surname.

Went to work at 0530 again. Slept for a measly 5 hours then work for 12 hours. So sian. I hate it when they don't give me something to do. Sitting quietly makes me very sleepy and you shouldn't be caught dozing off at work. It's bad! What if they cut my pay huh?!

Anyway, I feel pretty troubled now over something. Really don't know what to say. It's like... I feel a bit hurt by it? I didn't mean to do anything to offend or upset anyone but apparently I did. Maybe it's my mistake though I don't see it as a big deal. I really never did anything on purpose so what is there to 'ren'? Sigh. Ok la... Since we were never 'friends', I shouldn't bother feeling too down by it also. I don't know... I haven't said a single bad thing about it so of course I feel like a fucking piece of shit now just wondering what the hell I did. Wish I could understand. Maybe I'm just unlikeable. That would explain the number of friends I have. You really start to wonder who they really are. I hope I have at least one person who thinks I am something more. If not, I will be sorry to say that what my Mummy said was true... Friends never last. Only your family will be there. Haiya. Fuck it. Now I don't know whether I'm upset or pissed or what la. I don't even care who reads this now! I deserve to have a medium to rant too!

Obsessing

Everyday is Youtube day now. We keep watching MVs, interviews and all other things BSB while the boats are out. Their music is so damn good! We keep singing in the pump room and acting retarded when no one is around. If they knew what the hell we were doing, they'd think we were crazy. Haha. BSB kept our anxiety and nervousness over the results away. Well, turns out the results are really so-so. Nothing great, nothing bad. Mrs Singh hinted to that I got an A for GP so I wasn't surprised. I EXPECTED IT. Haha. Please la, my GP how zai. I work too damn hard to not get an A. Bet it was my amazing essay man. Cos I definitely screwed up the compre and AQ. My surprises were in the 3 H2s. I felt like I screwed all of them up. Econs I left like 12 marks worth completely blank, Chem paper 3 was crap cos I did the first question and Math... Let's not get started. I only started doing my Math when Stats started in J2 la. I'm so stupid! I shall conveniently leave out Physics now :)

Went to buy some whitening cream for my face man... I'm getting so tanned from the cycling. It took me a year to get rid of my tan lines and now they are back in 2 weeks despite the use of sun block. GREAT. Just great... SIGH!

Anyway, just something random...
I THINK 'HEY SOUL SISTER' IS THE MOST AWESOME SONG IN A LONG TIME!

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moon beam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Heeey heeeey heeeey

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind le me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I cant be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)
Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)

Straight through my heart

Backstreet's back, ALRIGHT! The concert was awesome like hell. HAHA. It didn't start too well cos Peiyi and Melissa bought their tickets together, so I was sitting with them. I was sitting all alone on row L, they at S. My seat was closer, but they had the aisle seats with a better view of the whole stage. I went over to sit with them first until someone rightfully claimed their seat. When I did go back to my seat, this couple was sitting there. It is so obviously my seat, for goodness sake, I was ushered there. And that woman still had the guts to tell me that I am in the wrong section. Yeah right... I went to look for the usher to chase her away but by the time we got there, she was long gone. So angry.


Ok, so anyway, about 15 minutes pass 8pm, we heard screams. That's their arrival. And then all hell broke loose! People stood up on the chairs. When they appeared on stage, people started running forward. I stood on the chair la. Cos if not I pay $151 for what... Then I received a sms from Melissa asking me to come to the front, right in the middle and so...I DID! But the security stopped me so I took a D-tour to the left side of the stage, then squeezed through the seats and I was back to the middle. I ran right pass security when he had his back turned. Anyway, to the thing that matters most... The Backstreet Boys! They can really really sing! They aren't like those crappy artistes who can't genuinely sing. They can sing and dance simultaneously really well too. So yes, the $151 was definitely worth it. If they come back again, I won't hesitate to buy another $151 ticket. Haha. Wow. And Howie looks really good! AJ is fat (this is to spite py!), Brian's voice is fantastic and Nick is just really tall! Haha. We were just 3m away from them. We took photos and videos. Hmmm... Should I upload? Maybe next time. Gotta sleep soon anyway. So the bottom line is... BSB is the best! :D


After the concert, we went back to the 276. Ended up sleeping at close to 1am and waking up at 430am. Yes, that's life for me. Sad one. Waking up at 430am everyday and being at work by 530am. Sick. Now I feel a little sick. Must be getting used to waking so early. Sigh. Well, at least I have py working there with me and not some other stranger. The job is ok. It's not tiring or anything. The only problem is the toilet issue. We have to cycle back to the office just to use the ladies. I think it's a 800m to 1km journey to the office. We cycle back and forth about 6 times daily. My thighs are much toner now. Haha.


Met some nice people there at work. Some interesting characters definitely. Every morning got show to watch that to him. Haha. Ok la. He's very loud and stuff but I'm sure deep down inside he is really nice. I saw that when he helped carry my bike over the slag holders when the lorry was blocking the way. Haha. He called me a freaking smurf! Small, cute and blue. Damn those coveralls! It was a good joke though. Haha. Oh well...

My experience staying onboard an oil rig was amazing! I really find them beautiful. One big structure of beautiful metal. It's just really interesting. I like it! If only my Physics was a little better, I might consider doing offshore or mechanical engineering. But looks like I'm more interested in my baking and fashion so I shall just stick to that.
I will miss the danger whenever I climb up the gangway and up the steps and narrow stairs. I will miss the gym that only I use. I will miss that bed I slept on. I haven't slept on a proper bed since I moved to my grandma's. I think that was the sole reason I stayed there, other than the food! The cooks are really nice and they make a mean nasi goreng. Fantastic! And the Danish rice pudding is the best dessert ever. I'm trying to get the recipe off one of the cooks through FB. Haha. Hope he tells me. Can get rich selling that man. I suspect I might have gained like 1kg? I'm not sure. When I weighed myself there on the rig, I was 44.4kg. DIE DIE DIE. No kidding.


The movie collection there is also pretty large. Py and I watched "The Pursuit of Happyness", "17 Again" and "He's Just Not that Into You". The latter is pretty scary. You see all the shenanigans that guys get into. If I had a guy like the character Bradley Cooper played, I'd kick him to the curb that very second without so much as thought. In a second! Haha. Haiyo, that woman is damn slutty :( Scary!


You know what else is scary? Tomorrow! Cos results are out tomorrow. Sigh... I really have no idea how I did. Not even the slightest clue cos I can't really gauge anything. I don't know who I'm up against out there. I know my heart will pound really hard tomorrow. Let's all pray for each other, shall we? :)

CNY eve

Yesterday took half day off work as we were having dinner at aunty Angel's place. Steamboat reunion for the 'god-families' only. It was really nice. I love steamboats! Every year when we were younger, my father would call us over for steamboat dinner during CNY eve but as we got older, somehow it became at coffee shops. The food is still good la, but I really prefer steamboats. Just the whole atmosphere and the cooking is very fun. Can chit chat and eat slowly. So we had it yesterday and yes, it was very good food. Aunty Angel made the dumplings herself and she marinated the beef herself. Her chilli sauce and sambal were damn good. Then she made dessert for us too. And I can never complain about her food. It's always good! :) My mum bought a box of mandarin oranges, kueh lapis and bah kwa for all her siblingss. So after dinner we delivered them. We decided not to go to work today. Super tired. Was able to sleep for almost 12 hours. So good! Working like a dog there. Everyone asking me to do this and that. Next time better take my time lor. Then won't have so many things to do also. SIAN.

Today... Nothing. Nothing much. The only thing I did today was buy more clothes online. Ya. Boring. Had lousy dinner. Ate one sickening piece of chicken, tiny piece and then a bowl of papayan with lemon juice on it. When Mark came back, he ordered MacDonalds and of course I ate it! Who can resist french fries?! And now that they have the garlic chilli back, french fries have gotten back that appeal again. Completed my book! Ok la. Pretty good. "For one more day" by Mitch Albom. Erm, watched "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist". Ok that was good. Funny. And the girl is PRETTY! I am very straight and she is very pretty! No, she is hot! Haha. Ok. Shall not elaborate.

Tomorrow supposed to go visiting but my father hasn't contacted us yet so... We'll see what kind of CNY this will be.

Early reunion

9 February
Yesterday, Toa Payoh grandma called to say that our reunion dinner was to be held today instead of the traditional one day before CNY. So we did it today. Wemt after work. As usual, it was a place at Yishun. A new place, not Chong Pang anymore. It was alright I guess. I doubt the shark's fin is real la, since it's at a coffee shop kinda place. We had yusheng, fish, chicken, scallop with brocolli, prawns, noodles, mushroom then dessert. Killer. So full. Earlier in the day had Din Tai Fung for lunch at JP after buying pantry supplies for the office. I will also remember this day as the day I learnt a valuable lesson... Never take 187 beyond BBDC. Such a long and winding road. I hate long bus rides!

Have to work again tomorrow. At least work now isn't too bad. Since the project only starts next week. Now got a lot of photocopying to do. Have plenty of papercuts as evidence. I got the most painful one ever yesterday. I felt the paper cut through from the moment it touched my skin, to the slicing of the flesh, to its exit. Then it bled!!! And people laughed at me.

I learned an interesting 'unword' today. "Earjacking". Like carjacking. It means holding someone hostage in a far too long conversation that he/she is not interested in. I like it!

11 February
I swear I just copied tens of thousands of papers today. I'm a professional now. Ask me anything about the photocopier and I can answer you. Paper jams! EASY, leave it to me. I am the Queen of the photocopying room! But I have no throne. Whole day just standing in front of the machine. Darn it. Do you have any idea how tiring it is to just stand there?! SIGH!!!

Just got back from BBDC. Went for my second practical lesson. The instructor let me drive on public roads already! Haha. Exciting. I know some people are scared and stuff. Frankly, I didn't feel anything. In fact, I think it was easier than inside the circuit. My instructor today was a bit more frank than the previous one. But good la. Can learn from my mistakes. I must work on returning the steering wheel from turns. And he also said it is apparent that I like to speed. But I never once felt like I was driving fast. Might be my mum's fault. Anyway, had a lot of fun today driving! It is fun. Going again tomorrow:)

Gotta climb the rig for a tour this Friday I think. Must be physically fit to do it cos it requires a lot of climbing of ladders and stairs and stuff. Tomorrow must go train at the pump room. SIAN. Oh well. I gotta earn money so I can set up my business soon:) Already contacted a supplier:)

It's late! Another 6 hours and I have to wake up again. I wish I could sleep!!! Did you read the news about the real life Sleeping Beauty? She can sleep for 13 days! Amazing! Haha. I think the longest I've slept is 16 hours. Should try again after Anchorage. I think I will badly need the sleep after the project is over.

Goodnight people!
