first day of work today, one word to describe it...DRY. my job was to call the customer and shout at them... no la, call them and 'chat' with them. i called about more than 50 customers and ended up with a very dry mouth. not used to my current job, and the way they change everything, last time my retrieval job was easy and relaxing, now i have to concentrate more when talking on the phone.

worst thing was to call and say the customer name. some have names that is so long, and hard to pronounce properly... :'( to make things worse, while i was calling a customer, one of my colleague crack a joke and i giggled while talking to the customer, and just nice that the customer name was those kind of hard to pronounce. she may think i laughing at her name, damn it...

and this is a small world, my primary school friend is sitting beside me, not in the same class but she can recognize me. we are in the same class when it mother tongue lesson and we combined class, and that when she saw me. haha...

most of my colleagues said i changed a lot, looks better and cleaner now... wahahaha, having shorter hair is way better than having long hair...

ciao,
thanks puay san for the hashbrown she offered me this morning.

Niu Year Day 2:

planned to go great grandma place, but i dont know what reason that we scrapped the idea. we went to hongbao river instead, but sadly it only open on 6pm. so we end up strolling around marina square and suntec. at night we went ehub to watch Love Matters. a great and hilarious movie, which you can laugh from starting to ending, i rate it 4 out of 5.

ciao,

Niu Year Day 1:

Happy Niu Year. woke up in a mini chinatown house. see the following pictures, my dad took the pain to decorate the whole house.





similar to yesterday, same first destination. this year a rather unique way of having lunch, make our own lunch. popiah was the main dish, bloated by the end of having two and some bee hoon. my baby cousin Gladdy finally let me carry her, she's so cute!!!



this cat look so fierce, because there is no year of cat, that why she is so angry.

after that last and final destination to CCK. two reasons to go there, one for ang bao and another for gambling... wahahahah. two tables for gamble, one for youngster, another for adults. youngster is not for young people only, my aunties joined too, i meant it for people who want to bet small. adult table are the crazy ones, highest i saw was 24bucks. minimum was 1 bucks. but i chose the youngster table, more people, more fun and laughter. laughing at some silly mistakes we made. i only join the adult table after dinner, where most of my cousins left. overall won about 30 something, most from youngster table, at least this compensate for the loss for yesterday and last year's.

ciao,
loads of red packets :D

Niu Year eve:

as usual as the past, first thing in the morning was to visit my grandma house for reunion lunch. every year with different dishes, my grandma is the best chef around, i wonder why my mum is so different from her, it basically a heaven and a hell...

later in the afternoon, next destination was my grandmother house, a long journey to Choa Chu Kang. usually people will start to gamble during the start of new year, but our family start to get a bit desperate for it and everyone opted for a game of blackjack. we used to have a rule that only 18 and above are allowed to play, but somehow 2 years back i broke the rule and now my cousin who is 3 years younger than me also started playing with us. haha

everyone year is always the same dishes, good or bad??? salted vegetable soup, fried prawn and another meatball soup. well, most of us love the salted vegetable soup except me, because it is too salty and sour? plus the most importantly, the yushen, huat ah!!!

after the reunion dinner back to gambling, wahahaha, once a year, everyone cant help it. largest bet was 10 bucks while the lowest was 50 cents, of course i will be playing small, my highest was only 3 bucks, i haven started working yet, 1 to 2 dollars sometime can kill me. in the end lost about 3bucks. phew, last year i lost more than twenty.

my family wanted to go chinatown for countdown, but after hearing the number of people at chinatown, we change our mind and headed home instead. haiz...

ciao,
niu year time

DID YOU KNOW EVERYONE IN THE CLASS HATE YOUR PROUD LOOK??? THINK BEFORE YOU SAID ANYTHING!!! SO WHAT YOU FROM YOUTH FLYING CLUB??? YOUR RED BULL SIZE WILL CRASH THE FREAKING SMALL PLANE!!! DON'T TRY TO ACT CLEVER IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHEN YOU ARE NOT!!! YOU PROVIDE ME WITH THE WRONG INFORMATION EVERY TIME, WHAT THIS TEST IS FROM PROBLEM 9 TO 12, IN THE END IT COME OUT FROM PROBLEM 8 - 12, lucky i never listen your words, trying to make me fail my test ah!!! BUAY YAO MAI GEK KIANG, BE HUMBLE (don't know dont act you know, act humble)!!!!!

m

at last, final week of year 2, going year 3 soon!!! first thing we enter class is to psycho our facilitator to treat us lunch... wahahahaha... he start feeling very stressed and asked our other facilitator who taught us what they will be treating us. we keep discussing during the lesson until the facilitator gave up and tell us to do our work and we shall discuss our lunch details later. wahahaha, we won... :)

a disgusting guy (my classmate) brought a condom to school and show off to everyone in class. then he start to boast this brand good, that brand no good, and he gave some of his condoms to one of my friend, saying 'i 'do it' no need to use condom one, so i give you i never mind one.' seriously i never see a guy that can be so despo, he always like to boast in front of me how many times he did it before, then talk about how many girls like to go to bed with him... O comeon, please grow up, so what if you did it many times?? got prize is it??? oh ya, got prize if you really lucky, AIDS or STD as your prize if you that lucky.

haiz, although it last week of school, my facilitator is still very serious in work. anyway this topic will not be tested, why are they still so serious... sianz sianz sianz...

found a new place for lunch, it cheap, delicious and near to my school although a bit old and unhygienic, it a food center in a industrial park located opposite my school. amusing thing is everyone sure have try cai fan before, but everyone time is that someone will serve you. it completely different there, u collect your own rice, then take the food you want, completely self service. and best thing is you can take as much as you want, rice, meat, fish, vegetable, all at the same cost no matter how much you take, but different price for different category lah. i ate all three kinds of them, meat, fish and vegetable, and it cost only $2.80!!!! outside anywhere including my school will cost me $3-4...!!! and it definitely make my stomach bloated, burrrrrrrp...

boring lesson today, even though today's lesson will not have any test anymore, our facilitator still torture us... to return her kindness, a group of us went to cafe galilee at our school library to buy ice blended mocha, a special promotion 1 for 1 at the cost of 1 cup. we took our time to went up and somehow someone told her we went to buy drink, thanks to Ivan...

a sign of relieve when i got my PCB test result back, B+!!! it was a screwed paper, the drawing of the circuit was a messed. thanks to moderation!!!!

ciao,
one week down and another 2 more final weeks to go!!!

2 more days and school reopen, haiz :( so of course i have to enjoy my every single seconds of days left. and you guess it right, bowling, not to be missed every week... ;) luckily got samuel as companion, if not i have to go play myself. although today primary and secondary school reopen, they is still a lot of people there playing.

got this couple beside our lane, and this very 'pro' guy, he is pro indeed, but kiasu and his girlfriend is just average... and he teaches his girlfriend the wrong method to hit a left corner pin. maybe he scare that his girlfriend will win him and she missed, a horribly missed... and the funny thing is, when the guy went off to buy some drinks leaving his girlfriend to play alone, she play very very well, clean for the first 6 frames, strikes or spares, she got it perfectly. but the moment he is back on 7th frame, the girl got haywire, and last four frame she played very badly, no spare or strike. maybe the guy was a jinxed to her, wahahahaha.

as for us, not that bad... samuel found a new way to throw, and it works pretty well... i got my first high game of the year, and i achieved my ever highest average score of 181... hope my average will continue to rise, must work harder...


regarding the new implemented law of no smoking in lift lobby at every block of flats, it totally bull shit, not worth to mention even though i don't smoke ;) firstly, if the current law prohibit smoking in lift, why will people in the first place smoke before he enter the lift and finish it, which wasted his time whereas he could actually smoke after he got out of the lift.

secondly, if the person is so desperate for a smoke, he could enter with the cigarette lighted up. and two people at my block always did that and i know who they are.

thirdly, smoker can shift to the walking corridor and smoke, doesn't it make things worse?? allowing the smoke to enter our house and no law has been implemented that no smoking in walking corridor.

and lastly, will NEA employ that many people to patrol thousands of block in singapore to catch people illegal smoking when they are already damn busy with the current prohibited area? and if MOH encourage people to quit or don't smoke, why in the first place allow the sales of cigarettes???

ciao,
headache with law law law, should eat more lor 'arh'

first day of the year, someone have to f***king quarrel with me over some matter that i never did in my entire life, this bitch is none other than my mother. my camera has two batteries, one of the battery is faulty because someone accidentally throw the battery into the washing machine, and the battery now is in a dead state. and somehow and i don't know how, the blame fell on me. when my sister actually identified who the culprit was, she still insist that i did it. f**king bitch, i did not did it means no, why she have to push the blame to me. and another culprit who indirectly cause this commotion was my eldest sis, why she have to bring this matter up??? it is not important nor affect anyone.

and that not the first time already, when my living room fan spoil, she again push the blame at me. five people in my family use that fan everyday, why and i the only one have to carry the blame??? when my room television break down, i accept the blame although many people use my television, because i been using it mostly for my playstation. but somehow i cant accept the blame when everyone is using it equally and mannerly, and in the end i have to carry the fault.

and if i raise my voice at her, it inevitable. tell me who willing to get maligned for nothing he/she has did? and to my disappointment, my father who is always reasonable, righteous, sided with her. does moving out on my own really solve the problem??? do my face have this word written "Everything i make spoil one" ???

ciao,
i hate to quarrel with someone today, but someone have to bite my tail and refuse to let go!!
