fyp meeting was....

hilarious..we managed to be v clumsy n stooopid...haha..
delicious..coz we were all starving..and the oki..sumthing is really yummy..love the combi of squid and veggies
hothothot..ate the volcano ramen..WOOHOO..really super hot, but as ms wan describe it..very "shuang" and we had red lips n she couldn't stop sneezing and sniffing..
judgemental..we decided that ah ju is a "xiu shou pang guan" person who likes to eat PAPER, i like to clean table n kick people, and ms wan was...i forgot to say out but she is LOUD. IS loud. still is. and she gave me a shower of blessing..
semi-fruitful..coz we got discuss proj la..haha..and everyone got do homework..and after a looong break, we forgot where all our readings were...tot was with me..

this morning saw in the papers that Japan has snow storm in many areas and there were even some death cases..kinda worried abt chel n fam..hope they are far from the dangerous areas..

one happy thing happened today..Lay Tuan praised me today! my first praise of the attachment..haha..she said that the payroll was WELL DONE! yippee! of coz well done la..i spent so much time on it..haha..

some cool stuff to share

was waiting for my bus for sooo long..as usual..coz its the end of the day, and the heels are killing me...when i see this uncle... woah..mayb can get 1 for myself..heehee


saw this on the road haha..itsn't it COOL? its the most BENG and the most erm..hot..looking trishaw i have ever seen..haa..guarantee to make u center of attraction...unfortch..the pic is kinda unclear..

the last weird thing here is...Swee, who looks supersuper ugly...haha..i mean SUPER ugly man..and he is proudly holding the BANNER which jeffery made on the spot to support Quan YiFeng at the filming of Superhost..it says "Jia You Quan Yi Feng love FA-ge"

there is an issue which i ponder over pretty often..a realisation dawn on me today. subconsciously, i pull away emotionally and mentally from friends who get attached and my mentality towards him or her immediately shift towards the "i better pull away before she drifts away" gear. i suppose tat on some level, i expect them to abandon me, so in order to self-protect, i shirk away first. however, the mentality re-enforce itself once the friend exhibits zhong se qing you traits.

perhaps not everyone will abandon their friends once they get attached. maybe its just me. but i suspect mostly, its not just me! its just that their other halfs seem much more important, however often they see each other. can you still blame me for pulling away? why stay when you know you're GOING TO get hurt?

saw this on my gate this morning..was wondering how come got branches AROUND the railings 1..then i refocus my eyeballs and *toot*...i hatehatehate lizards n their kind..my hand was super close to it can..in the end i was so chicken i had to use the umbrella to hook the doors close then lock it..piangz..my hands were shaking..what a chicken man..haha

anyway, its fyp excursion day n the adenga is to visit this mysterious archive site our tutor recommended at sentosa (???) n to take a look at asian civilisation museum to sieve out some info..for once i remembered to slap on sunblock before going out but...there was no sun to block..diao..i waited AGES for the bus and as i was trying to enjoy the cool peaceful sunday morning when i feel that something's missing..omg..i realised that i cant live without my mp3 player..yes, my ears were itching for some music. so i plug up and the first some that came on is..."waiting for u...i'm waiting for u..." how apt! i was waiting for the stupid bus..and my mp3 player..all of 11 months old, is ALREADY falling into bits, held together by a rubberband..see..i used it well and often..did not waste the $$ of S20..

anyway i was the latest coz i took NEL in the wrong direction. how very smart of me..well, the trip to sentosa was exciting. coz we took bus go "holland" then wasted 10bucks on the museum coz the info is not in depth enough and its sort of common knowledge for the average s'porean. argh..well, we decided to come back another day and sit on the chair lift and play the luge!!! haha so exciting!!! next stop, asian cililisation museum..lucky for the lady at the info counter, we did not waste precious $ coz the info they had weren;t what we needed after all! heng..after all this, we were all exhausted..duno why so lousy also..but i think its rather fun! we chatted alot..and know about ms wan's love story..n how SHOCK everyone were..including jaze n i..

pmsy..

pmsy

emotional this morning my parents flew off to india to attend a wedding..and shun bian tour around..i got up at 5am to "see" them off.."see" coz i was groggy and not wearing specs..so saw a pink(mom?) and a brown(dad?) thing lugging some black things(luggage?) and getting into a silver thing(the car?)..somehow i managed to be very worried and got a bit teary..of coz nvr show them la..haha pretend to yawn. but its always like this, whenever my parents go somewhere far without me, i feel worried..and think of all the bad stuff..yes..even to m'sia..but of coz i always attribute it to pms la..and the evening b4 i FORCE them to treat me to Ding Tai Feng, my old fave hangout with min n xian.

slacking this week at work..only 1 word to describe. SHUANG! haha..i was sent to spore polo club with dave (yes, the most shuai, but still not exactly shuai guy in the office) to do the usual stuff..and i actually spent 3 days doing just the payroll. 2 reasons. i am slow in getting the hang of things. and gotta figure out how what comes about..n calculate cpf rates..second coz there's nothing much for me to do le..so take my time lo..this week, i learn how to use excel (not zhai but better last b4 la..used to be unable to use it..) and learn abt cpf..its really not bad here. whole week q relax..yest dave n i chatted for an hour lo. and its not lunch time. n can report for work abit later(spc start later heehee!)..no need to rush coz not urgent job..though the "office" is actually 2 container boxes..can see ponies daily..n of coz..opposite is the police academy where we have lunch daily. special mention coz got alot of cute guys there! heehee..alot malays! but even the chinese q cute too..hai..duno i drool over them or over my lunch..

its been a long time..

..since the last time i had a decent gathering with my beloved platoon-mates..though this time there are only 5 of us, it was extremely enjoyable and thoroughly hilarious throughout..can't wait for 31st dec..where the fun is anticipated to be twice better..since there will be 10 ple!!!

i was really tired..so decided to forgo tennis last sun morning(they meet at 9am le..why so early?!?!) and was labelled a PIG by chel-sai...yes..i had a GREAT sleep..but i woke automatically at 10am..sian..haha..not used to sleeping so much..anyway, kim, chel, buddy n juRia came over to eat lunch(as in, they BOUGHT their own lunch to eat@my house) n the 5 of us end up spending the entire day together..and ended up pigging out at chompchomp..

we talk cok..laugh..eat..laugh..discuss abt "rendezvous on 31st" , laugh..and...*drum roll* paint our nails..haha..thanks to my super talented n meticulous buddy..i have great looking toenails! well..my finger nails have erm..chui3 diao4 coz i keep destroying it b4 its dry..and after a day of doung audit..somehow the nail polish managed to chip..and its the first time ever i see juria WITH nail polish on! wahaha..yes..very interesting and at the same time..a little creepy..

::a tribute to the enjoyable day: to my platoon-mates::

the memories we've accumulated together through hardships and stupidity and lots of laughter are priceless to me..its our FIRST DECADE next year and i hope we'll make an effort to take time out of our busy lives for each other..whether single, married, famous, busty or turned into a lesbian..

ps. juria heard that girls who are slim AND busty are VERY prone to breast cancer..(disclaimer: its a hearsay, i did NOT say its the absolute truth nor did i say its untrue) so my dear friends (u know who u r..)...HAPPY?

touched...

...by a total stranger
it was raining and the lazy me never carry an umbrella around. a kind lady actually offered to shelter me across the road, though i was prepared to brave the rain to work. the kindness really touched me, for i was a total stranger to her.

...by my mom and dad
its no secret that i'm terrified of lizards. and i realized that my dad is also scared of lizards, but all the same, because i was so scared, he tried to kill it. though my mom always tell me about karma..that what goes around comes around, and for killing so many lizards and cockcroaches, she is going to hell..and yet she will kill the lizard which refuse to get out of the toilet because i refuse to use it while the lizard is still in it.

...by my brother
because though he is lazy, unwilling and starving, he actually went down to ntu and helped me move to my new room, even cleaning the room. he listened to every instruction and did every sai-gang i gave him to do. and though he wants to eat MAC and we're both starving, he accompany me to eat my fave mee hoon kuay before i accompany him to eat mac.

weekend.

wed
*yay..EY accepted me*

thurs
after work, i dragged myself to colin's house for a gathering of the heroes of the pugilistic world. head chef abel chin made 7 pizza crusts while his fellow heroes topped them up with tons of goodies like mushrooms,loads of cheese, tuna, pepperoni, ham, pineapple etc etc..so the 8 of us ended up eating 7 12" pizzas..i have never seen so many pizzas in my life..haha even before the 6th pizza was out of the oven, i was on my way home. fatigue from work..need to sleep early..plus phobia of pizza..haha..but it was an enjoyable evening..it'll be nice to have another gathering of sorts..and i found this at colin's house..ange..r u scared?

fri
happily looking forward to going dak's house for a crazy night with platoonmates..however, unexpected was the pain in my eyes..think i overstrained it le..wearing contacts daily for more than 12 hours, plus dry and air conditioned environment, plus super lousy and badly positioned computer...think i may go blind as an auditor..haiz..end up going home to zzZzz...after i go pray at bugis..haha

sat
went on a date with lunzi to watch chicken little(so cuteeeee!) and to discuss our backpacking plans..well, actually we ended up NOT discussing anything about our trip..haha..we began our date thru a chat via the phone..haha..met at lao di fang at 4pm n we went suntec to collect my pants. then starving, we made our way to the new foodcourt at wisma atria..cant rem the name..but its at the top level and it was PACKED..though we were starving, we couldn't satisfy our hunger pangs..finally we found a seat n had to take turns to buy food coz there were vultures hanging around trying to occupy our table! we ate dim sum n ngoh heung..wanted to eat the yummy hokkein mee but the queue was SNAKING. after a satisfying dinner, we took a walk to dhoby ghaut n went up to collect our tix..BUT...roy lim who was in charged of the tickets collection counter, who by the way, is a very patient, polite and tactful person, told us in the most tactful tone that our ticket was booked AT GV Grand, not GV Plaza...the 2 of us calmly thanked him n walked away. at this point of time, i almost fainted...duno to laugh or cry coz its my stupid mistake..haha..so cok eye ended up clicking on the wrong venue! well, luckily lunzi was more amused than angry..and we went Great World City for our movie..i just wanna say that the movie is so so so CUTE! haha..and there was a scene which remeinded me of angeline chong runmei.."i will survive"!!! haha must watch!! so funny!

sun
made a weekly date with my tennis gang to play tennis sunday morning. however, i overslept and chel, kim n my buddy drove up to my house to fetch me! haha yes, i am touched..n feel so guilty at the same time..we had a slow and hilarious time..slow coz we are really lousy players. hilarious well..need i explain? haha..balls flew all over the place..and so did our reputation..but it was really fun, and nice to sweat it out. later, we called ms wang out for lunch at AMK. haben been there in AGES..rem it was THE fave hangout after school during sec sch days. either we spend out time at mac or we'll eat at the food centre..and of coz..the famour..giant..AJ ICE. man..i miss the good old days.. and yes, it is still drizzled with thick chocolate sauce and is taller than my hand.
to add more to my satisfaction, my birks came!! thanks to ms wang! haha..nice? but seems a lil too large for my feet..smallest size le..

week 2..day one..last day at tuas..

i suspect that the people at the client's place (the folks at TUAS)have certain magical powers..one of which is the ability to disappear at 5pm sharp. its simply astounding how, by 5pm sharp, the entire tuas office become a ghost town..daily, without fail..the employees seem to be able to disappear..impressive huh?

today i did something extremely important..but is definitely under-rated..i was put in charged of sticking reinforcement tapes on all the working papers...yup...before u snigger, do recognise that without the smart invention of reinforcement tapes (for those really really ignorant folks, reinforcement tapes are those little polo-sweet-look-alike stickers that u paste around the holes u punch on papers), there will be millions and millions of papers which fall apart!!! people will be come so so soooo disorganised!!! haha..well, poor veera..somehow i have done all that is in my capacity(sales test..expense vouching..blahblahblah) and he has nothing else for me..i can practically see the frown lines forming on his forehead..as he struggles to find something for me to do..well..its better to zhuo bo at tuas than zhuo bo in office right? at least tuas is far away from the boss's line of sight..

lalala

i'm not a sunshine person
smiling takes effort
i hate it when my smile is unreciprocated

i guess darkness can be welcoming at times
as is optimism when the situation suits
yet i'm most comfortable in a straight face
as much as i love to laugh

deep down, a palette of emotions
happiness::uncertainty::idignant::stubborness::loneliness

liberation comes when the wild side surfaces
suppression looms as certain as routine

damsels in distress

there was this stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit who was trying to be funny by harrassing us...while we were happily dancing at our own corner, he came near us and keep moving nearer and nearer..if i was not held back, my feet wuld have met his BLOODY ass. he was damn luck that everytime i wanna kick him he move away. i was so damn pissed. no matter how much i elbow and push him he just kept coming. WTF. i was so angry and desperate that when a new group of guys move near to dance, i simply approach 1 of the guys for help. he just turn around n look kinda lost. in hindsight, i would have given the same look and not know what to do in his shoes either. anyway before he could collect his thoughts, i spot the bouncer and flew there. i told the bouncer whats up and he just stood there and STARE at the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit while he kept on dancing, oblivious to all. WTF?? yl, ange and i just stood and stare..and suddenly he moved near xl(who was sitting n sms-ing) and immediately we sprang into action and grabbed her and GO. however, the guy i approached appeared to have recovered from his "blurness" and sugested that we move away from the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit and dance near them for protection instead. but we were bent on getting out of the dance floor (the guy looks kinda cute in the dark though..haha)...anyway...the conclusion is...there are NO knights in shining armour in the world(not the cute guy, nor the bouncer who is a the-matrix-morpheaus look alike) and girls gotta help themselves out. thank u very much. oh yes..as for the stupid idiot loser asshole stupid piece of shit ..may he rot in hell and find his organs slowly drop out from his anus. amen.

some thoughts to be happy about..

realized that i've been complaining and complaining, all i've written is negativity..am i a pessimistic person?

its undeniable that there's an upside to all i've experienced..and as a change, i shall focus only on POSITIVE events..

1. gradually, but surely, i am getting used to walking in heels all day (though its only been 4 days into my attachment..but i DO walk alot..in train stations..in the office etc..). before, i couldn't stay long in my heels before i get a sprain, blisters or feet ache etc.

2. learning to do proper audit. the hands-on experience i get during the attachment is priceless, and whether you're sent to an audit firm or not, you may not get to touch any audit. this definitely makes the transition from student to a newbie auditor smoother..if i get a job that is..

3. making new friends and "renewing" my friendship with angeline T.

4. get to pry into the confidential information of the companies audited..like how much who gets what wages, what sort of insurance policies etc..

5. get to wear long sleeve to work daily..its an enjoyment for me because i reallie like wearing long sleeves..but no excuse to do so coz of the hot hot hot weather!

6. get to observe/laugh at/sympathise with etc people on the train..its really interesting what kind of expressions people have, what sort of clothes they wear and what they do on the train! haha..juz check out the shirt this guy is wearing!!

7. get to explore every part of offices/factories and get to meet people from all walks of life..daily, i will "bio" this ang moh manager in the firm we're auditing now..haha..so cute!!!

8. make friends with lyon, ms wong's beloved..though only seen him on the bus and train twice, he seems like a great person, and hence i shall give my stamp of approval here..haha! like i'm some big shot?

9. get to climb a ladder today, in order to get to the manymany files stacked up to the top of the racks..phew..a feat for me, coz of my unexplainable fear of heights(cant change any light bulbs in this life..)..but no one can help me, so i just take off my heels, climb up and hold on very very tight.

10. get to flip through files which are on average, 20cm thick..many..many..many times..looking for tinytiny prints...i'm going blind!! haha..but who gets to TOUCH such files man! haha..that would be my hand in the pic..its not the tallest file..its just ONE of the files..wahahahah!

day 3...i'm going blind..

somehow i'm getting used to doing audit, flipping and checking multiple document simultaneously, doing OT daily, and getting up while its still dark..is this what being a full fledge working adult is like? it seems terribly mundane to me..waking up, having a lonely breakfast, ong journey to work, looking forward to lunch, moe work, travel home, dinner..zzZzz..when then do i get to do the things i love? taking my time in the toilet, sleeping for more than 8 hours, reading my trashy romance novels, seeing my friends daily, meeting up with pals...helppp!!!

today we had packed CHAR SIEW rice instead of the usual cai fan..a nice change..but we were all envious of the office lady outside who was digging into her malay rice..slurrrp..

day 2..zZZz..

becoming a lazy and hateful bugger..omg..being late is becoming a nasty habit for me..a vicious cycle which i cant get out of..2 days in a row man! i'm gettin soo out of hand..somehow i just lost my sense urgency..truly, i am the kind of person who hates to wait and now, increasingly, i am making people wait for me! am i turning into something i loathe? its time to kick the bad habit..having said that, i'm determined to leave the house at 7.30am tmr!

something fishy..there's this lady sitting next to me on the train and i'm not very sure if she SELLS fish or she just BOUGHT fish..but she sure smells like one. ok, maybe she's unaware..i shall not ji4 jiao4 about it..but in addition to smelling fishy, she keeps overlapping into my personal space! not only is she ALREADY sitting onto my AREA (CLEARLY demarcated), she keeps elbowing me and couldn't stop figiting(hmm..can't spell it)!! take a sip of her 100plus, pack her bag..adjust her plastic bags, check that her fish or whatever she bought is still alive/warm/upright etcetc..all done with much elbowing..why auntie..why!!

packed cai fan 2 days in a row..how many more days to go?

ask me ask ME

í have been dying to ask this question for ages..do i have the "i have a GREAT sense of direction" face? people seem to lurvve asking me for directions when i am a "lost" person..within 10 min today, 2 people ask me which train to take to commonwealth/little india..though i was blasting my mp3 and had on my "ever-unfriendly" face..why..why..why? lucky for them i pointed in the right direction..

day one, at moores rowland

have you ever seen a file at least 50cm tall?
i touched one today man. omg..a 3 month general ledger(GL) file is THAT big. haha its day 1 of my attachment and half of my fears came true. being even lower than a junior auditor, i was in charged of all things non-crucial. In short, i was doing no-brainer tasks (which i am actually quite glad of) which i got stuck with for the entire day (damn sian..i'll be back to it again tmr..), sitting in a stuffy room (my colleague, a guy, seem to like stale air) which is located in...*drumsroll*...T U A S. How ironic life is..where juz 2 days ago, i packed all my barang barang n moved out of hall..damn! thankfully, we'll only be at the client's for about 2 weeks..heng arh..

about my task..
my job was to randomly pick material transactions and make sure the invoices tally with the GL entries. i guess that was to prevent fraud. in order to locate the invoices, i had to walk around and around and around the office multiple times..in killer heels..and no sense of direction..

about the team..
in total, there is supposed to be about 5 people in the team, but only 3 were present. eileen(whom i suspect is a malaysian..), the most senior out of the 3 was the patient and more experienced one who allocated tasks to us for today. the other guy, a chinese national called Petros (yes..when i sum up the courage, i WILL ask about the name). he happened to be more senior than me, for about 2 days..haha..yet, he was doing auditing while i was.....well....and the team leader is an indian national who looks suspiciously like one of the debaters from SR..hmm..the last person, not too sure is a guy or girl, will be joining us the following week..guess u would have noticed, that the team seems to be a multi-national 1..well..though its just the first day of work, at least there is nobody who has the kind of face i can't stand (and my good friends will know, i cannot stand aLOT of faces..) meanwhile, i look forward to another work day,because if i walk the same amount everyday like i did today, i will lose about 5kg by jan.

wher is harry potter?

who want to watch harry potter with me huh? am i the only one who hasn't watch? and chicken little too!!so cuteeEeee!

first sight of urban singapore in 1 month

wheeeeeeeeeee!

finally, the dreadful exams are over..time to discard any fear of valuation/risk/strategy/retail until third week of dec(wher results will be out n i shall cut my wrists exactly according to how pomelo pam described to me..)...and start worrying about my attachment starting from monday 21st nov..anyone who is very free and generous, please feel free to meet me for lunch. or dinner. most likely supper coz likly to have OT...yucks..and the pay is PEANUTS. hence, i am a charity n pls feel free to treat me to many meals.

well, anyway, my feet are aching right now, and i totally love it!!! spent a day WALKING. haha!! thanks to ms wang, who despite being very sick and use up lots and lots of tissue, accompanies me to shop shop shop! not very satisfied with my buys though, coz realised that i only bought a top suitable for PA(attachment)..damn..ultimately, i am still a kid, coz i totally have no IDEA what to buy/wear/match for work! my eyes keep straying towards bright coloured, casual clothes more suitable for orchard than for CBD! AND..grown up clothes are really expensive..(so u see, another reason to hop down n give me a lunch treat!)..

tmr, going m'sia with my parents..hope can KAN3 them abit..haha..and buy lotsa cheap stuff...my feet are so tired that i really need to give them some TLC right now..so..zZzZz...
