2nd Run

Last week work Saturday, this week work Sunday. Want to Die liao. Hahaha! No Lar, better today, maybe coz the SBB not here and employer no.2's wife here- made things easier for me. WAD exactly am I selling? Goats milk you know! MY GOD, it's the drink that pple hear already will give you the look LIKE they tasted urine and then faster run away wan leh... How. To. Sell? I dun mind the taste that much but who cares abt ME, right anot? The shoppers dun like can't blame me la... Today sales much better lar, catching on to "normal" stds.

Anyway, I'm just not the kind tt can stand there and talk pple into buying something (that isn't popular) la. Must Stand for nearly the WHOLE DAMN BLISTERING day. *Whiny voice* It's so hot~ My brain is being STEWED by the heat! Pimples popping out on my back Liaoaoaoa! I dowAN!!! And the worse thing is the boss keep comparing me to this previos promoter. He said he every wkend can sell average of a whooping TEN cartons of milk- and ask me to work towards that goal 'coz tt amt is considered normal! HAHA! wad THE?! Ey, hello! U already tell me he's a GUY & he's 23 yrs old leh... unfair right anot. Ya noe why I mind that comparison tt much? It's becoz it makes him sound very reluctant to pay me the basic salary- just dun like his yu3 qi4 when he speaks...

Then again hor, I didn't go dere for the money hor... If U say till lydat, I'd rather work for FREE over dere and in return I get more freedom and less pressure from THE MAN. ya la ya la, MAYBE it's simply becoz I'm just not the right person for the job so I make sound so bad. TT's WHYYY, I dun wanna stick around for too long Of course, it's not ALL bad. Sme pple have been really kind to me and I appreciate that! And not to mention I get free lunch each time... go home that time still got dessert to take home...wanna buy the other yummy stuff in the shop got special price N last but not least can have free marketing and business lessons LOR. So mao dun hor? BUT BUT BUT, It's tough to have pple reject ur item time and time again...

So, anybody interested in replacing me? but dun say I din warn you... U're asking for it arh~ HAHAHA

Last wkend, I went for my first job. It was a distasteful experience- the weather, the PROMOTING work and wad my ex-OGL wud call, a se4 bei3 bei2. That man too 'friendly' with me liao la... So I decided to call it quits as soon as I reached home. What, my dad only asked me to try it out mah, no one said anything about a commitent! And he also told employer no.1 to call us if he needed help- ONLY if/when he needed help. wadever. So I call employer no.1 the next day and told him. I thot I was home-free.

Then this afternoon, employer no.2 called up and said things like give Urself another chance; maybe on that day you saw only the bad side of things dere; if you wanna try one more wkend, we'll have someone work with you, la la la... OOh, I also dunnoe why he wud bother to call back and put me in a tight spot. ANyway, he say til lydat, how can I reject? Hai, so I'm back on the job again...Arg, so sian.

Wad have I gotten myself into?!

Enrolment Day!

Yesterday was Enrolment Day aka Laughing Day.

Met up with Marg at CCK station. From afar, I saw her and thot "Uh-oh..." Haha! she really wore T-shirts and shorts and it's home-wear that kind! Tho' I told her that, I wore a jeans skirt instead of shorts. So went she saw me, she was like hey, didn't you say... Then we tease each other while waiting for her PJ classmate C.H.

Then on the way to poly, also kept making fun of her, esp C.H.! Haha, really "pal" man, that one. Said she later go fishing and this morning went Market. Luckily Marg's not a petty person or else I'll feel more guilty! When we were chatting on the CCK station, we went thru wad we needed to bring and Marg was short of 1 B/C photocopy! She was quite gan cheong but then when we cont'd and I realised I also left out the I/C copy, she began laughing hysterically! At first it's coz she's so happy I din bring so someone can accm her then it became her finding it very funny that she's so happy abt'it...So we ended up laughing with her lor.

After a whole train ride of chatting and giggling, we arrived at Dover. We entered the walkway to the poly but 1 guy stopped us and asked "U guys freshies?" Blank look. "Freshmen?" Blank look. "U're year 1's right?" Nod-nod-nod. And he gave us a survey form to complete. Then we rched this qtn What do you expect in your orientation week or something like that; supposed to tick a few choices they gave and still got "Others:" Suggestions:
Marg: meet new guys and get BF
Me: Find life partner
Both: *giggle giggle* HAHAHAHA
Then here's the next farni part. We were handing back the forms to the guy, then marg slowest to walk away,
so I casually said: Don't look so much lar, later eyes pop out!
Marg look at me and laughed again: Aiyah, got seen thru by you...hehe
Me: U really arh!
BOth: HAHAHA

So the rest of the day was nearly spent this way with C.H. occasionally chipping in to poke fun at her... I enjoyed myself alot coz I only expected to go there to hand in forms and take picture, as shown in the guide la, but got pleasant surprises. It was a Little like Sec 1 orientation. We really din know what was lying in store for us- we simply followed the yellow arrows and some seniors to point the way for us.

So we drifted from one air-conned room to d other lor... First was the CCA records wan, then the Internet Storage system presentation (supposedly 5 mins only but wait for ppl to fill in another 5) with the slow talking recorded voice. Then after a while, marg whispered, "No wonder 5 mins..." Haha! it's like U.. can...store ur... files in...yahoo..or... *yawn*! So we left without finshing it.

Then after that we got herded into room after room to listen to club after club promoting themselves. Lets see how many I rmb... 1) SPSU 2) Community club 3) Sports club 4) CADC not CDAC hor... Ok, not bad, I can still rmb them. At 1st we really din noe wad they were up to, only thot maybe they introducing the POLY to us... Still asked us to join wad Freshmen Orientation Camp. Then later every club we visited also promoting their OWN CAMPS!!! ARHHHG! Can't imagine wad happened to those who paid at the 1st club (yes, must pay EXTRA $$ wan... but still reasonable lar). And the prices also decreasing wan eg SPSU's most ex is $12 den CC is $8 etc.. haha, luckily we were skeptical, so din pay first, only sign-up. but we're confirmed on the CC and CADC's wan.

Finale of our day: We walked back to the station and the same guy still talking to a grp of freshies. When we walked past them, he turned and smiled at us...
Marg went :*Gasp* He rmb us leh! He smiled at us leh!
Me: Luckily ur dressing is unique...
ALL: *Laugh like crazy*

First Day At Work

IIIIII goooot baaack froooom woooork. No, i made it back from work It's my first job. Yeah, I'm drained. (oh, it's tiring even to think about the experience.)

When I got back, a thousand things went through my mind- literally. I was thinking how I wasn't going to do it again- I can't! And how I should get my parents a leg massager... Come to think of it,(shudder) my mum was a waitress at the Ritz, and she once did 21hrs!!! *all hail*. How truly great it would be to run my own business etcetera etcetera etcetera. (Or better still, don't need to work and have money rain on me from the...govenment!)

anyway, I worked as a promoter from 9 to 5, for $25... Man, should have went for McDonalds instead...

From Patricia Yeo...

Too often we dont realize what we have until it is gone;Too often we wait too late to say "I'm sorry-I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts;And we allow foolish things to tear our lives apart...
Far too many times we let unimportant things into our minds;And then it's usually too late to see what made us blind...
So be sure that you let people know how much they mean to you;Take your time to say the words before your time is through...
Be sure you appreciate everyhing you've gotAnd be thankful for the little things in life that mean alot..

CSI 100th Episode (con'td)

!Attention Pls. Read the previous entry first. Then follow up with this one. TQ!

Now, where was I?

Oh ya. The lights came on...And It was really an OMG scene. There was a dead person lying on this operation table. You could pretty much figure she was dead because there was blood, all around her. Her legs, which were spread apart like when in labour (getting squimmy here), trays of tools, the table, discarded hand gloves were also covered in blood. Gawd, what operation were they going, you ask? Transexual op it was. AHHhhgg, so now we know this person bled to death AND her operators abandoned her, because it was an illegal operation. She died 2 days before wendy, so now, there was a link.

It wasn't long before the CSIs narrowed the suspects down to the Doc 1-cum-counseller. Remember her? Well, surprise surprise! She was also a He. So that explains why she's so empathatic towards those desperate transsies. Anyway, she wasn't really a doctor 'cos she didn't get her cert. And all these while, she had been operating on men who couldn't and didn't want to wait any longer to become what they were "meant to be". Imagine the horror, explained Wendy's best 'girl'-friend, "...of having a woman's brain and a man's body."

That's why they took this risky shortcut. If not, they'd have to wait a few years for the hormonal changes to set in and to get psychologically prepared, as part of the procedure. But Doc 1 wasn't the one who killed Wendy...... it was Doc 1's husband. He saw her stumbling out of the storage houses after seeing her dead , she saw him watching her, so she sped off! She got caught by the policeman for speeding, but she didn't ask for help! Her pursuer caught up with her, annnnd cut out her adam's apple....

Crime solved.

CSI 100th Episode

Caught the episode that was dubbed "most controversial" of the series last night. Actually, I didn't bother much about the controversial part, just the "CSI's milestone", "1st time in Asia" and the highlights which showed Warrick and 2 other Investigators entering a dark room. So his flashlight shone on something grim and bloody and he was all "Hit the lights, hit the lights!"... Waoh, so intriguing hor? That why I decided to watch it eventhough it was past my bedtime.

So the story goes (something )like this. They found a body, duh (it always starts like this wad). Apparently, the woman, Wendy, had her throat cut out "surgically". So they do the post mortem and all that necessary stuff and got these info: she was stopped by a policeman for speeding, sexually assulted, AND "she" WAS a he. So they proceed to find out more about her background.

At first, of course, they suspected the policeman. But after the DNA tests, he was off the hook. Now, who next, leh? In Wendy's car, was a driver's license belonging to a guy. the CSIs thought that she might have stolen or burrowed it from that person. Somehow, that person seemed non-existent, then loo and behold, the guy turned out to be the previous her... this is gonna be a bloody long entry.

Next, the CSIs contacted her, get this, would-be husband. He's perfectly normal except he didn't suspect anything when she readily agreed not to engage in pre-marital sex... haha. when checking out their house, they found in the toilet bin a used menstrual pad. What the...?! Another twist it seems. More checking. Oops, it was her blood alright, but it wasn't "uterus blood" as they called it. So, someone had helped her draw her blood so she could smear it on the pads. Now, why would she do that? "It's all part of being a normal woman." This led the CSIs on the search for the doc who operated/transformed her.

They found her counseller, i forgot her name... Doc 1? Doc 1's a woman, married to a divorced man who had a daughter. She seem to show alot of sympathy and empathy towards "transsies". She also met up with Wendy on the night of her murder, but had proof that she was at her daughter's soccer game during the time of murder.Anyway, the other group of Investigators had found this post-it note on Wendy's mirror, which says "Section E ..." with some numbers. So this team plotted out the route she took from Doc 1's house to when she was caught for speeding. There was "14 mins of the victim's time unaccounted for." Hmm. One guy pointed out that near her driving route, were loads of store-houses...

At the venue, they saw footprints. Bloody footprints. (By the way, the block they were in was section E.) And as anyone could have guessed, they would lead to the second crime scene. Using the series of number on the note, they unlocked the door. Person 1 steps in and his flash light falls on some bloody mass and a leg. He goes "what the..." then continues to shine across horizontally to find more blood and body... Here comes "hit the lights, hit the lights!" Then, "Oh my god..."

(to be cont' on nxt entry)

Damn! It Feels Good To Be Home

I just got back yesterday from a road trip to Cameron Highlands. It was THE most unpleasant road trip ever! Especially, when we had to take a mini van UP the curvacious mountain road...And did I mention I felt the tremors of the Sumatra earthhquake?

Yup, this's what happened... After the day tour aroung the highlands, we returned back to the resort. My mum and I turned in late; at about 11+ pm. Naturally, I took my glasses off already... After a while, as I was turning around to have my back face my mum (note:we were sleeping on 2 separate beds), I felt the bed shaking like I was sharing it with somebody else. So I turned back again to look at what my mum was doing. Guess what, she was tosing about in HER bed. So I said, " Mummy, when you move arh, I can feel it on this bed leh..." She said," Is it? Sorry hor... that means the floor boards are lousy lor."

A few moments later, I felt the bed moving slightly again, but this time, my mum wasn't moving. Thus, I thought she's probably scratching that's why I cannot see. Then I adjusted my blanket and tried to sleep. Right away, My mum blurted out," Hey, when you were moving, I also felt it you know?" I was like, oh well, very tired already, so just let me be "rocked" to sleep. I slept very soundly that night.

The next morning, my mum got up early with my aunt to have a walk while my cousin and I slept in a little longer. Soon, the phone rang and I knew it was time to get up for breakfast. My aunt said she'd be coming up to take us down. Later on, when she poked her head 'round the door, she brought a surprise for me. This was what ahe said, "Aye, last night got earthquake leh!" And my mind just put out a million fireworks. "How the... so THAT was what we felt!!! OH MY GAWD... That's SO COOL!! I felt an earthquake!! I can't wait to tell my friends about it..." and so on. So i decided to probe deeper as to how they got the news...

It turned out that another guest approached my mum and aunt and asked this funny question, " Did you two experience anything strange last night? Then that two aunties' minds immediately jump to the supernatural, so they replied," No wad, we slept soundly leh." So that guy explained with his eyes wide open," Last night got earthquake..." Hahaha! That hit my mum and she told them what we felt lor. Was pretty funny and I was so damn excited about the experience.

Hmm, but after watching the devasting news begin broadcast, I began to feel quite guilty... like how can I be so happy about feeling the tremors when so many people got killed by the quake itself. And I also thought about the Tsunami victims as well, so the atmosphere become rather solemn as well... anyway, I'm just glad to be back in S'pore now...
