I BE GONE.

I'm working at somewhere which is residential and has no computer access cept for official work. So I'd be gone for a while don't miss me too much.

Psst... I only manage to get 3 modules leh cham.

GUYS HAVE PMS TOO!

I'm too full to sleep. And everyone online left. So I surfed around the funkygrad forum and the topic was on PMS.

More known as periodic mood swings, guys does have it! And I guess I've experienced that having to see guy friends suddenly going on a 'retreat' and wallop in self pity or shut themselves out emotionally to the world, or behave as though the world offended them in every possible way.

LOL. Now is it a good thing that we are girls, since PMS can be calculated and predicted while for guys, it depends. It is shown that girls usually like to vent their frustrations and talk about their problems with the other girls while for guys, mostly, they keep it in their mind. And as tension builds up they sort of explode inside, resulting in the need for 'retreat'.

Interesting eh.

Another, with persuasion and much more pestering from people involved in this bash, here's a promotion...

Played golf again yesterday. The golf director said I have natural golf talent! LOL... I'm feeling achy and all after a whole week of non stop work that involves exercise (burns calories!). Getting paid while rollerblading is good stuff, though it is boring....

Watched Minority Report again yesterday night. Still very impressed but less the anticipation which is key to the movie. Nice show... must watch okay? And that Denny guy is kinda cute.

CATS ARE MATING

Gawd. Its damn loud. If you ask me it sounds more like rape. So noisy... and it's happening right at my backyard I think. Piangz... and now it sounds like more than 2 cries.... whatever

I had quite a fun day today. Went to work at StandChart's roadshow as a bimbo skater as usual, then ran off halfway to eat lunch. lol... Manage to brave through many traffic lights and uneven floors to Edo Sushi. Got stares like everywhere. Cos, well I'm on skates. But anyway, after that I flew down to Laguna National to act as a vase for the Performance Motor's Golf tournament. It's those kinda job where you greet people, usher them, offer them drinks and curry puff and mingle around. I'm quite used to that, so nothing much. The fun part is having to try my hands on the golf too! Had a pro with handicap 6 to teach us! :D Ping is much better than I am, my left hand somehow feel kinda retarded. But giving up I will not. Tommorrow I will play again!

What I can't stand, is how the perm staff try their best to bootlick and curryfavor the BMW people. wahroaz... do we need to resort to such in order to succeed in life? I don't view myself as some hero who always stands up for justice, but I just can't take all the kiasi-ness and all the bootlicking.

CHEESY LOVE THRASH NOVEL

She's reading.
She's reading.
She's reading too!

What's with those books that send women prowling at Library@Orchard? Well I wanted to find out, and borrowed 1. It's not a wow! read, but it's actually kinda funny and cheesy, and all the making out scenes are described so... decorated with beautiful words. lol

I managed to finish reading the whole book today! Well that is because I have 2 hours of bo liao break from my roadshow job and lots of travelling on bus times. It's never going to be my fave kinda books but for a lazy brainless Sunday morning in bed would be good actually.

FOOD OF TRUE LOVE

Another cheesy topic but after catching the last episode of the muchtalkedabout-yadayada-f4-cannot-act-notcuteguys Meteor Garden, sort of made me think of like true, pure unconditional love, where it doesn't matter what the world thinks, however obstacles they face, whether he turn ugly/fat (to an extent only) but still so pure, so true, so giving... ya la this kinda show always have happy endings, but sometimes in life, YOU can be the one who decide whether certain things will be happy ending or not. So people, if you love another, tell him/her you love him/her. NOW.




BLACK HAIR, BLONDE HAIR

If anyone recalled me dyeing my hair blueblack, yeah it's back to ash. Not cos I did it again, but the stupid dark colour fade off. DON'T BUY GARTNIER NATEA! Doesn't last at all. Yucks. I felt kinda gross and conscious of my hair. So lianish. Suddenly, I wanna be normal again.

MY DAD'S PROUD OF ME

My sis was talking to him about some stuff which I wasn't listening to, but there was a part where it caught my attention:

" dad: why u wanna be like me? be like jie jie, she everything also try to do herself, find her own job earn her own money...

sis: she also always getting money from you what...

dad: where got always... you also get money from me...

sis: i too young to work what..... "

So heart warming....


CHOOSING MODULES FOR NEXT TERM

Seems like a BIG step from being the spoon fed freshmen to become a sophmore. No more preassigned course. Now have to plan own modules. :( Had to make sure the timing don't clash, get the slack prof, don't clog up my brain on a Monday morning. All those crappy stuff. In short, it's a PAIN to think and then having to BID for the module. Speaking of which, despite it being a very irritable thing to do, it's really kinda cool cos we at SMU get to bid for our own modules. We'll be given 100 e-dollars to bid for whatever we want via the school system so as to ensure fairness and not those first-come-first-serve nonsense. Just like the COE system, the top 40 or whatever no. of placing there is for that particular slot of module gets it. The catch is to spread out the money wisely and you get to keep the remaining money you don't bid, so some people like to keep for the next term kinda thing.

I sort of planned out my modules after much discussion with Michelle (and even planned out for Ping, but she rejected the offer rather violently. :P) Won't be with my friends for all modules, which is also what I wun wanna do anyway. We should seek to group with different people and not hide in the comfort zone with close friends. What do you learn?

I'M BACK AND MORE!

I'm back, safe and sound, feeling good about the whole thing and know that it was not a wasted trip despite all the mosquito bites, cramps, aches and all that. It's a sweet camp, because as a facilitator and not a participant (last year lar) you see the whole thing differently. You see how friendships are made from scratch, and all the teambuilding and buddy building games accelerate the whole process all together. And in the midst of it all, you get to be immersed into the group, sometimes as a involver, sometimes as a observer. New friends are made through thick and thin (and looking out for each other while we pee in the wilderness)

And I never knew I could talk so much crap about teamwork and all that.

T ogether

M ore

yeah!!!

It was just a 3D2N thing, first day we did all the trust dive and inverse tower/ obstacle wall climbing and other bonding up games. 2nd day we raft to the other half of the island and stayed there for a night, gazing at stars and learning about each other's own life, the trek back, which delibrately only involve the girls and they had to brave their way through the compass and map. More like personal accomplishment I would think.

And here are some of the nice photos

I WANT A CRUMPLER BAG

Okay I have decided. I should invest in a nice and durable bag that I think I would carry for quite a while rather than a pair of levi's jeans which looks a lil' like what I already own.



Just wondering should I get a laptop bag or a normal bag. Cos the normal bag looks much better, but the laptop bag is more useful so to say, for the next 3 years, since I lug my laptop everywhere during school days.

Spent the day in school doing OBS shit. Frankly I am looking forward to it. After all the trouble... I think it's gonna be quite fun. ;)

MOTHER HEN MEETS HER CHICKS

Finally met my OBS clan. The meeting is short, it's just dinner. Surprisingly everyone like wanted to go off. Tsk tsk... Shaun said it is because they are just JC girls. But I was a JC girl too. Anyhow we ended up doing nothing and going home after dinner, which is kinda sad but nevermind. Friendship do not build up in a day, i mean usually. Still looking forward to OBS though. :)



Here are the pictures of the Standard Chartered Girls I am working with.

BLADING DAY...

Quite fun today, although still kinda boring and stone. Ginny tried to teach me a thing or 2 about more blading techniques and I was acting like a clown in front of the SIA building. LOL. So shiok, enjoying blading while getting paid. But it gets tiring and my legs are aching like mad. Ler Ying wants to go ECP to blade tmr somemore... *faints* But I shall go, since I am so active! :pPPPppPPppP

Didn't go Sentosa today because she's sick. Anyway I slept at like 2.30am so I was dead beat and fell asleep right after I reach home... all the way till 8pm, which is why I didn't turn up at the emergency meeting for OBS. Was groggy and all when Eiliang called and I refused to pick up the phone! Quite excited to get to Pulau Ubin man. And thankfully Cindy is taking over me for my job while I go over to the island.

Ping brought her laptop to work. What a xialan temp staff... lol... I'm like still thinking of my poor non-ventilating laptop.

Quite stone. Nothing to say. Tommorrow I shall take some photos. :)
