TGIF….

Right so it’s the end of the week… the end of 3 weeks working here at IBM. More or less a month of working. I have received my first measly cheque, I have sat on my ass for at least 8 hours a day, has had no problems with the work load and freezed my toes off everyday other day.

For one, I have to thank my friends for keeping company for the last 3 weeks… and the internet.

I would definitely have to thank Jarad for accompanying me everyday…. he is the one I talk to religiously every morning. In the last few days, the other guys have been chatting with me and preventing me from running around this office naked to drown my boredom.

I have fallen in love… with CNN…. the news online keeps me company for at least an hour every morning. Then there is Mabel’s blog, although she doesn’t update it everyday, she always makes me laugh when she does.
_____________________________________________________________

And so…. tonight my dear old sister is flying off to Australia…. she’ll be going to Melbourne on the weekend with the brother-in-law due to work and since they have not seen each other for over a month (maybe more), he is definitely not going to leave her in Brisbane while he goes off to Melbourne. I have already requested for gifts to be sent here when they can be… (yes, the minute someone I knw is going overseas, I wipe out my shopping list)… Cotton Ons and Undies… for some odd but wonderful reason, my eldest sister is only good for buying those.

Last night, my sister and I were on the way home from dinner with our parents and the topic of her having kids came up. It’s been coming up for the last 2 years… i think.

She began sprouting her excitement that her kids are going to be mixed… I just call them “Rojak” and USUALLY rojak kids (especially the ones with Chinese and Caucasian blood) turn out pretty good looking but I have seen cases where something was put in wrong and they don’t turn out very good looking. I have seen my fair share of Rojaks in secondary school…. we had plenty of them…

Yes so back to our conversation, my grandmother is like 70 or 80 or something and I always thought it would be wonderful if she could meet another great grandchild before anything happened to her so I asked my sister when she would come back if she got pregnant. Also…. my parents would die just to see and hold their first grandbaby…. you know how grandparents get. And I know my sister, she does not want her kids to be born in Singapore, especially if it were to be a boy. To add to that, she hates crying babies on a plane (they don’t knw how to handle the ear blockage when the plane takes off and lands… so they cry like no ones business)… BUT she does want to come back with her kid so that she show it off to the relatives how cute it is… being rojak and all. Because, my dad’s side of the family has the tendency to compare their kids… especially with the older kids… the younger ones not so much.
(Honestly every time I hear her gloat like that, some part of me wants the kid to come out butt ugly…. but then again… I do not, what so ever want an ugly niece or nephew… so I’m torn here….)

So I suggested to her that since babies are usually the cutest stage of a humans’ life, she should bring it over when it’s still a baby and not walking and talking. She turned and asked my dad when in a baby’s life is it the cutest and the answer is…. 4 to 6 months… Therefore, my darling sister has planned to return to the Island of no gum and ridiculous people when her kid/s are at least 4 to 6 months. And when the time comes, her nose will be sticking up in the air like there is a constant spell of sweet aroma lingering around her and I will be definitely wishing her kids came out butt ugly.

Yesterday my boredom buddy (Jarad) started talking about…. news!! Yes, the news… and the subject on the escaped terrorist came up…

I have been keeping myself updated with news all over the world but I have leaving out… Singapore. So this man who is suspected to be a terrorist…. escaped… from a detention center when he went to the damn toilet. Now forgive if I seem ignorant on the matter… and the press isn’t revealing very much information about the event only that he escape when he wanted to go to the loo… but… erm…. why in the world is he in a damn detention center and not a prison???

He has been labeled to be Singapore’s MOST wanted man and all he gets is the walls in the detention center and a toilet trip that it is apparently located somewhere on the ground of the center. Right now, if he was in Changi prison… he damn loo would be 2 feet away from him!!!!!!!! And the government wouldn’t be in such a mess right now.

Don’t go sprouting excuses…that the prisons are over crowded and what nonsense…. cause Changi prison is not over crowded… unless Singaporeans are unaware of many crimes committed… and many people behind bars. Now I am more pissed off than scared about this whole incident… the lack of fear could be due to the fact that SG has never come across such a predicament and if i was left in Amercia or some other country I would probably be the first to die.

And another thing…. he escaped while in the toilet??? Come on people… what, he told the guard he’s shy…???? He can’t pee with someone watching???? OMG!!!!!!!!! I don’t care if he’s shy or what not but either he pees with a guard in sight or not pee at all!

I can imagine the poor people living in Bukit Timah must have felt very scared over the last few days…. and besides, singapore is not big at all so he could be anywhere.

*sigh*…. and on what Mr Wong said… yes this shouldn’t have happened…

Ok an hour or so gone… yay…

save me from boredom…

stupid stupid stupid!! The photos I posted up yesterday as so teeny tiny, only an ant can see the faces…. argh.

so last night, I went for dinner with Jarad, Shaun and Tham Tham… Ricky was suppose to joins us but his company is a slave factory…. he’s an Intern and the stupid buggers made him do OT!!!! You pay a kid $450 a month and you make him stay back after working hours?!?! Tsk tsk tsk….

Wow…. mabel… effa… guess what… shauny girl… cut his hair… like not a millimeter kinda cut… but short… ok not as short as ricky and tham tham but for his standard it’s short. And it looks sooooooooo much better than that mop electric shock of a hairstyle he use to have.

I have upgrade my boredom activities to looking at university websites to look at courses…. although I was thinking of not studying anymore… but… what the heck…

Tonight… we shall dine! Got dinner with my granny… then i wanna take a trip down to the wonderful lovely bank.

Ah!!! Trying to save as much money as I can but it’s so difficult!!

My Twilight HardCover is Here!! Yippie!!

3rd week of ITP… Results…

My week of happiness and boredom.

Right, so my results have been released!!! I couldn’t sleep last night and kept waking up every hour, got so annoyed that I finally got up at 6.15am (an hour earlier than I am suppose to) and checked my results. Technically, they are out at 10.30am this morning BUT if you request for them to be sent to your email a/c, you actually get them earlier. AND to my amazement and joy, I passed everything!!!!

Now I did not pass very well…. in fact I had mostly Cs and Ds but beggars can’t be choosers so I am more then happy with what I got. I got a D+ for Stats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOHO!!!!!!!!! Now all I have to do is make sure I end up in the same class as Mabel n effa…. I cannot stand being in that class I was with in Year 2.

Terrible thing happened… well… kinda. Da found worms in Nutty’s food…. the food given by Auntie Maggie had insect eggs and worms in it…. Thankfully, Da’s quite observant (cause I probably wouldn’t have seen it) and so we had to throw them away. Now I gotta go buy a bag of doggie food…, thinking of getting that HUGE bag of Science Diet. But so far, Nutty seems to be fine… other then the occasionally insect bites. OH!!! N her baby tooth fell out too!!!!!! So right now, her two front teeth are missing. Da wanted to collect them but… erm… well, she can’t find where she dropped them.

Right so my dear old sister is leaving for the AU this Friday night… and I am actually thinking of buying her the Hana Yori Dango DVD…. yes DVD, the thing is damn bloody expensive but hey… I didn’t get her a x’mas gift so right…. Then just last night my crazy old mother was telling me that I’d be getting the whole room to myself after Friday…. Now, what the hell is the point of having my own room when I cannot do anything about it???? Huh………? Because of that crazy fag, we now have two of those shaking hand cats and every time we need to do something, my mur der has to consult him or the book… What kind of freaking life is that???????? To live by thin pieces of a tree and a man who earns hundreds from telling people what they want to hear…. arghh…. i cannot wait to move out of that hell hole.

Now, work………………. eh…… I did most of my work already… it’s not very difficult. I just don’t know if it’s up to standard and all. I wanna wait till my super comes back on Friday and ask if what I did is ok and what changes he wants me to do.

So I got my grading for the first 2 weeks…. As!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Tham Tham would be very pissed cause the poor boy is working hard at MOM and they are only giving him a C and B. *Sigh* His morale has dropped a lot.

For the last 2 to 3 weeks I had to find some things to keep me occupied… due to the fact that life here pretty much bores the hell outta me. So what have I been doing with my time???

Lets see… for the first 2 weeks…. I… read the news… chatted on msn… and read crime library like it was the Bible. I blogged…. I replied emails… and we are talking about the ones from friends now….. wrote as much and as long as I could in my logbook. Of course there was work to do be done and all in all, it took me about an average of 2 days to finish whatever work I had to do. So this week… Youtube has been very kind in keeping me company. Now many of you must be wondering how is it that I am doing all this at work and not being afraid of being caught. That’s because I clear all my history and just last week, I discovered Portable FireFox.

I also discovered yesterday, when I went to collect my first paycheck that I’m being paid $500 a month and not $440!!! WOHO!! But this month I only get $300+ cause they only counted from the 11th of Feb…. stingy pokers… then again I was very pampered at my last ITP in ITE….

Yesterday, I went for some training Program…. sat in the tiny room for 2 hours!!!!!!!! Bored the shit outta me….

i don’t believe how fat I’ve grown!!!!!!
and I discovered that wedding dress do make the bride look very slim and nice!

sleepy….

It’s MOnday!!!! A horrible monday!

Ok, not really…

This week… my super is not in!! Yippie! I am left all alone to do my work. I just hope that the person whose table I am using won’t be back this week… hee..

Ok now lets catch up shall we?

Well, first my lappie’s not with me. Da needed a laptop urgently cause of her school work and since her dad spilled tea over it, the screen is half gone so since I barely use my laptop anymore (due to the fact that I stare at a laptop all day at work and I do most of my stuff on the office comp anyway) I lent her my laptop for the mean time.

Saturday… hmmm…. I went to the Vivo City’s Pet Safari with Auntie Maggie to take Binnie to the groomers. She was sooo furry!!! The grooming was said the take about 3 hours!!! So we went to have lunch first… hahaha…. at…. Marche!! Love it. Ate it’ll we were sooooo full…. could barely walk. Then we went to walk around Vivo… man… 3 hours seemed to be really long, especially if you don’t walk into shops and stuff. We only walked outside the shops… wanted to go to do a pedicure but it was fully booked till 5pm. In the end, we went to… wait I forgot what the place was called… it was that coffee house next to Haagen Dazs, had coffee before we went up to get Binnie.

We spent an hour in Pet Safari looking at food, shampoo, harness, mat pads, cotton buds… and I had a feeling I was missing something…. I had totally forgotten to buy Binnie clothes~! Sa had asked me to buy Binnie clothes… and I had totally forgotten about it.

Anyway, we got Binnie and headed home….

Sunday… just went over to Da’s to visit nutty…. man, she’s grown… but still so adorable.

Took pictures of her and Binnie but since I don’t have my comp I can’t put it in!!! Gotta wait till I either meet Da or get back my comp…. sigh… oh well.

Freaking results are coming out this wednesday…. going absolutely nuts… psychoing myself to think that it’s ok to repeat….urgh…

missing my ite friends right now… andrew’s bday is coming up though! shld meet up…

stupid IBM comp sucks!

LO looks like William Hung..

Ok, so the work is piling up… still, I am able to actually finish the work given to me… or at least I think I can… Haha….

Right so I have been reading the cnn news online in the last 2 weeks and have apparently missed out quite a bit of news in asia. My mum sent me to work this morning and brought up a question. She just went asking me if I knew who the guys was that came out in the news… at first I was like thinking ‘huh? what is she talking about?’…. then she went on asking if he was a HongKong actor…. now that lit a light bulb in my head as I remember standing in the NEL and I was looking at this guys’ chinese newspaper and the following day the new paper mentioned it a tiny bit under an article about Lydia… so I just figured my mum was talking about him. She kept going on and on about how wasted it was cause she thought he was good looking. The thing was… I knew there was some news about him but I didn’t know exactly what the heck the deal was…
So that sparked an interest…. I went online… apparently CNN had mentioned it too… to find out what the hell she (my mum) was talking about.

Well, the only thing I can say is… BOY haven’t you heard of an EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE!?

So on to other things…. my liaison office just came… I have never met him in my life!!! AND he looks like William Hung at the age of 50!!!! It was soooo stupid… and super was wondering why my LO wasn’t someone in my dept…. he has a point though… geez… stupid school right…

I had jap food for lunch… and it was good!!! A lot better then I had expected!! Yay!

It’s the end of the week…. and I am happy about it!! Who wouldn’t?

Up coming in next week…. left alone to finish all the work I was given… which is quite a bit actually. AND the day I have been dreading…. results…. Last but not least… my sister is living on Friday!!!!!

so be it…

sleepy….

but how can i be sleepy when I slept at 9plus last night!! Haha, yes, i slept that early…

was suppose to have dinner with ricky and all again last evening but it was canceled last minute. Thank goodness I was on my way home and not bedok station! I had decided last minute to go home and change before going for dinner with them. Even though I left at 5.35pm yesterday, I still got home at about 6.10pm…. then i sat down for like 5mins to watch american idol before buying my dinner. When I was waiting for my food, Shengyuan called and asked if we wanted to go eat anyway…. lol….. by 6.15pm if u don’t inform me of any dinner plans… it’s over!! Due to the fact that I finish 30mins before everyone else and it only takes me that 30mins to get home!!!

I had nothing to do… after watching idol it was only 7plus! Took a shower… talked to da on the phone… sadly, she was not in the best of moods… she hasn’t been in the last few weeks… Peanut is driving her up the wall…. she bit all the wires she could get her paws on. Kept telling Da to make her room/house doggie proof but…. don’t get me started on the excuses. She almost wanted to find Peanut another home… *sigh*….. it’ll be a BIG disappointment and awakening if she decides not to keep her. But she said it’s not going to happen.

Went to bed close to 9…. or maybe 9plus… i don’t remember.

*sigh*… I’ve been pyschoing myself over the exams… kinda came to the decision that if I fail, I fail…. I don’t care anymore… not like I can do anything about it. So if I have to sit for one extra class or 2… so be it. All the worrying and freaking out is not going to change it. argh….. I give up…. so I just have to face the damn music.

Tell me where to donate books!

sitting in the cold cold office once again….

Hmmm…. people!! If you know of some where I can donate my story books (other then the salvation army) please do tell!!!!!!!

I think it’s about time some of the books are taken of the shelves…. about 70% of them don’t get read anymore and my sisters are all gone so definitely no one is going to read them. I have my books placed somewhere else.

So yes pls!! If you know where I can donate them to do tell!

 

Thanks! 

So yesterday it was suppose to be our anni but i spent it out with dinner with ricky, kitty, mabel, shengyuan and jarad. Went to PS foodcourt and then Gelare!!!!!!!! It was Tuesday so that meant half priced waffle ice-cream! Yay!

It was quite funny cause we all had work the next day so we were all like, ok we need to go home… work tmr… haha… you wouldn’t hear us say that if it was school! Haha…

Might go out with them for dinner again…. but missing dada very much… *sigh*
