sneak preview:initiation day

A preview of the amount of sabotage i was subjected to...
Haiz.. i'll rattle on another day

ya da ya da

Fooled around with pictures, and decided that i fancy this tricolored effect best...

---
I Spent the entire night fixing up the laptop.

"My computer" panel refused to display the device that i've plugged on, and I suspect it's something to do with the plug and play options, because it refuses to read Patricia's thumbdrive when i had presentation the other day...it's so embarassing for your laptop to "malfunction" infront of the entire lecture, thank god for email!

Then came my Ipod Nano, and now my camera, but at least it did read my external CD player earlier when i was ripping songs.

No matter how much i fiddled, and etc, it doesn't seem to solve the problem. Finally, after much frustration and comtemplation, i decided that the system restore option seemed the most viable, and ...

Eureka! My lappy's saying hello to all my hi-tech toys again! Haha! Boo boo, you're so gonna be proud of me! (not that i'm a tech moron to start with...)

Haven't been feeling too tech savvy recently, after encountering trojan after trojan.. Sorry that the boo had to clean up all that virus after me..Morale's been low, but it's always good to know that im still able to solve minor glitches, though it might not necessary be the best procedure? Haha whatever!

Ya da ya da.. It's super cold Tiger again, and i was stationed at Harry's the Esplande branch today. I'd say that today wasn't too bad, if compared to the previous 2 assignments. At least i wasn't bored! *chuckles!*
The working environment at Harry's pretty nice, cept for this rather stern fella (couldnt figure out what's his position...either bartender or manager of sorts?) that Linna and i reports to.
i spent the entire night staying out of his way.. just in case i get into his bad books.. Heehee

The atmosphere at Harry's is pretty good. It's a pretty good hang out place to just chat and idle away with friends, but since im not much of a drinker, it'll be ironic to hang out at pubs and bars and what u have, to enjoy a glass of alcoholic whatever..

I reckon that all this show job is getting alittle overwhelming.. Jobs like this never fails to make me feel bimbotic... After all, most would often perceive girls like us, to be dumb, and without much ambition, and perhaps uneducated? (i seriously hope that all that this is all part of my imagination, and not what people really perceive ya?)

I guess i'll never be thankful for what i have... being thankless about my brainless job, and on the other, complaining about how "brain consuming" council activities can be.

---
It's the RMIT Student Council's bi-annual initation day tmr!
I'm anticipating it, but definitely not excited about it. After all, it's already my 5th semester participating events of sorts.
I do feel old, and really old i mean. Seriously looking forward to the day that i'll retire from running the council, and just sit back relax school life, without all that serious time juggling/management, and the complexities of people managment.

Speaking of tomorrow, I can't quite decide if i should be playing games with my allocated group, and end up looking hot, sweaty and bothered, or should i be accompanying Robin over at the Chalet, lounging around in the rooms, waiting for the groups to arrive without a single strand of misplaced hair? Hahaha

Whatever it is, it will definitely be a long day..so i guess i ought to get some eye shut soon..

*Leonara Quacks, please conquer mr sniffles soon!

Uncompassionate Singaporeans

I so have to blog about this!
It was an really horrid experience!!


Question: What happens when your Mobile Phone battery dies on you, when you're all alone and you REALLY have to make an urgent phone call?

I dont know about you, but i decided to drop by Jelita, in search for a public phone. It seems like a logical thing to do.
Unfortunately, JELITA, doesn't happen to have any public phone in sight. I checked with the people at 7Eleven, the people at cold storage, and apparently there's none.

Next question tt i had in mind for the people after finding out that THERE WASN'T ANY PUBLIC PHONES, was to ask if i could use their phones - you know, im so sure 7Eleven and COLD STORAGE has their own "land lines" of their own. But no!
I was told that there wasn't any phones available for use at all, even if i told them that i needed to make an urgent call.

They (the front counter people with the DAMN phones) stared at me like i was some kind of Joke. No, im absolutely not joking about the lack of Compassion within people i call my FELLOW countrymates. Absolutely FUCKING SHIT.

I ended up having to Demonstrate to this random person who was staring at me in disbelieve at the counter who was paying for some stuff, that my phone didn't even have the reserve bit of battery left, before he finally DID believe that i needed a phone.

Mr Kind Hearted was using a hi-card with $16.20 left in it. I was touched that he did vaguely believe me. i made my call, and handed him a $0.20


Lesson learnt. IF your Phone BATTERY dies on you, take the lesson learnt.
Singaporeans are a bunch of HEARTLESS ASSHOLES!
And i definitely felt cheated la.

Just last Wednesday, i was hanging out at the bus stop waiting for Boo to come fetch me post Zouk.
This drunk guy came and sat really close to me... and initially shocked, he asked me if i could lend him my mobile phone. I eventually did, after figuring out that his phone wasn't working (never paid bills, i'd supposed).

Come on, think about it, i lent a drunk stranger my phone in the wee hours of the night, and no Fucking assholes is willing to lend me one in Broad Daylight?
It is absolutely Ridiculous! What afraid that i'll run away with your phones? I asked for a freaking Land line leh... im not that desperate to run away with a store phone with wires and cables and all Hello!

this is a VERY frustrating and DUMB incident. I am never EVER going to PATRONISE Jelita / COLD STORAGE/ 7 ELEVEN unnecessary ever again. All Groceries are strictly to be done at NTUC fairprice or giant or carrefour. COLD Storage and it's subsidiaries, it's KARMA back on you.

Then to think about it, if im caucasian, i might have been treated differently. So is this a case about me being CHINESE?

Yeah im irrational now. But where was the help, when i needed it?

What's your Cinderella story?

Daphne, in your Cinderella story, you'd get to Kiss the Prince

You don't need the pouffy dress, the fancy hair, or the 3-inch glass heels. A romantic soul like you just wants a guy who's a true companion, a good friend, a real prince. And if he's hot? All the better. But ultimately, you know that home is where the heart is. Which is probably why you surround yourself with good friends you can take care of and laugh with — friends who will do the same for you.But that doesn't keep you from fantasizing about the perfect relationship. It's not that you don't have your feet firmly planted on the ground. It's just that you're not afraid to shoot high. Or wish upon a shooting star. So keep reaching for your goals, Cinderella. If you do, your happily ever after can't be far away. And you can seal that with a kiss.

a day's complains and my reward.

Getting ready for Work.
My head looks kinda like a lolly.. u think?












Ahhhh, i've just accomplished yet another Super cold assignment for the week. It's definitely a job that test one's patience.

Where was i yesterday?
Hotel park royal or something like this. It's the one near City Hall.
Rachel and i were allocated there, and were lurking around the lounge, and we thought it was bad. There was practically nothing to do, and it's the slowest 4 hours of my life since the start of this semester....

Until i met today.
I was stationed at Serangoon, at some small little thing called a PUB, and it's called Secret Garden with Linna.
After 5 minutes, i was on the verge of crying.... not because i was bullied, but 5 minutes does seemed alittle like 5 hours to me. There really was nothing to do.

Time passed really

S.. L.. O.. W.. L.. Y..

Sigh..
I spent 4 hours chatting with this old gentleman who kept repeating himself. Sigh..
I need a more exciting life soon... if i were to keep up with future Super Cold promos..
I was supposed to be allocated at Harry's in Orchard.. but due to unforeseen circumstances...
Secret Garden became the final destination.


I shan't complain too much, coz eventually, it did contribute to my shopping Fund.. =)

Boo came to fetch me after work, and we went to Cineleisure to catch, The pirates of the Carribean.

Definitely a funny movie, because i remembered laughing really loudly and uncontrollably.
I like it. Do you? Especially the part where Jack Sparrow was due to be barbequed. It's hilarious!

I'm glad my day ended pretty well, after all, i started my day pretty nicely too..

I had enough sleep for once since the entire 2 weeks, and finally managed to grapple lots of time to dilly dally around, and yet managed to get my french manicures done!!!
"wha your nails "chui" already." i quote Stephanie.
It's that bad. I didn't have the luxury of time to repair my nails, not to mention re do a fresh coat of paint work.

Yes, i do like to complain alot, don't i? *smiles*

What kind of panties are you?

Tickle test: WHAT KIND OF PANTIES ARE YOU??



Hey wild woman, you let the world know that you've got your own ideas and aren't scared to act on them. It's not that you break (or even bend) the rules that much. It's more that you've got a unique style and a great attitude to match. And, even better, you love showing it off — that's why a saucy thong matches your personality.You've got the confidence and pizzazz to make your way seemingly effortlessly through the world, and you probably inspire others along the way. That's wild!

Mixing work with pleasures

Mixing work with pleasures always seem so fun! I've loaded up pictures of Da and i, working at the Car-nival at the Expo.

I wasn't supposed to be working on a Sunday morning, instead, I was supposed to be catching up with sleep, after my tiring day at Saturday at Sentosa, But........!

This girl backed out of the assignment at the very last minute, and so Tony (the sweetie who arranged this job for us) , asked Da if i could replace her....
and there i was, Ta DA!!!!

The instant replacement who jumps out of bed, looking blurry eyed at 10.15am in the morning, scuttling around home to dress up for work. The girls were supposed to report for work at 11am! However am i gonna get to expo on time?!? It's not like Expo's just situated right across home. Bleh!

Luckily, i was allowed to report work alittle later, and I made it there via cab at 11.30! Hoo!!
Work for the day consist of distributing flyers, posing and smiling for a billion and one photographers, and i really had fun shimmying up the car bonnet to pose for pictures! Ooh!

We spent most of our time, photowhoring with the yellow Evo with the unicorn decals. But our favourite Evo was really the black one, with really shiny silver stickers! *double grins!*

Oh in case you were wondering, the company that we were working for, sells mainly customised car stickers and decals. Pretty!











Now that im done with Sunday, let's move on back to Saturday...
Zoe and Phyllis introduced a really simple job to Audrey and i. Our job scope?

To mend the games booth for Mitsubishi Electric's family day! I was incharged of the golf putty booth, while Zoe's was the dart booth...Phyllis's was the "Smash the moth ball" booth, and Audrey's was the soccer booth.

We spent most of our time enjoying the slow Tram ride on the beach, even though we were lost and late. *oops*
We then decided to give the person incharge a call, and he came to rescue us in a 6 seater Buggy!
I haven't been riding on a buggy for ages, so i definitely enjoyed my Buggy ride too!

We hung around Sentosa until dark, and the event was giving out lots of Light stick, so Zoe, Audrey and i armed ourselves with light sticks, and begin posing for pictures! It was just too bad that Phyllis had to leave early!!

I went home with very sore thighs, from the bending, squatting and standing up motion of picking up the golf balls!

My thighs are practically screaming in protest, from the momrnt i woke up this morning... til now, the wee hours of the monday morning.

Imagine the horrors of walking, not mentioning, to throttle around in 3 inch boots!!
Sitting down, and standing up proved to be such a painful experience that i practically screeched everytime i have to bend or sit. Sigh..

I hope my thighs will feel better, when i wake up for Buying Behavior classes tmr.
@$$#!%&!@
Morning classes! Urgh!

have a break

I think it's a picture of Pebbles when he was a hammie Baaaybee...

Cute right? He's such a terror now! >;(

I declared my own little holiday of my own!
Since there wasn't any school for me on Thur and Fri, i decided that it was time for a short little break.
I took time off Council matters, despite everything, coz i very much needed personal time to just relax and do nothing.
Boo and i finally watched "Just My luck" starring Lindsay Lohan. She's pretty, and the movie's funny in it's own bimbotic way, though the luck was alittle too extreme. =)

I lazed around and did nothing, catching up on sleep, sleep, and nothing else but sleep.
Not forgetting my lunch with Mommy at Swissotel Merchant Court today. I'm glad she fancied the Durian Pengat dessert, that i highly recommended, we both had bowls and bowls of helpings. Got a slight sore throat from eating too much of it, but it's definitely worth it.

Dropped by town, got my flimsy top that i've been eying, then went over to look for Boo, watched him play World of Warcraft, and kind of fell asleep pretty soon after. Drift in and out of sleep, and finally woke up at 10plus.
We decided that we have a crab craving, so it was No signboard for us at Kallang.

There, we ordered a pepper crab, a chilli crab, 2 serving of fried mantou, and a plate of broccoli with scallops. Yummy. I was stuffed when i was done with dinner.
We were their last customers for the night. Hahah

We took a stroll along kallang, and Boo decided that he seemed to have over fed me throughout our 2.5 years together.
Yes, i seemed to have gained weight, especially when you compare pictures back then, to the picture that he took for me, while i was asleep. I look like a freaking hamster with my huge ass cheeks! But hey, it's not that bad! I still love food! =) *slurps*

The boo sent his car in for some audio equipment rearrangement, to create boot space, so he's got the Proton again, as a replacement car. Boo allowed me to fool around with the car, and this time, I drove myself home! I guess i gave him quite a scare. Haha!

Super Cold

Super cold beer anyone?

It's the 13th of July, the day Tiger Beer launches it's Super cold beer.
I'm not much of a Beer person, so i didn't give it a try.

The soft media lauch at momo on Wed night, was fun. I took lots of pictures on polaroid. Unless i scanned them, i doubt anyone would ever see them digitally.

I gave out Cold frozen wet tissues in the day dressed in my winter garb, and was made to say the jingle "expect temperatures to drop" when i give out the tissues.

Only problem would be the fact that i've only got one mouth, and there's like this whole crowd that was snatching for my freebie.... definitely an interesting and tongue tangling experience.

The only time you'll realise how scary Singaporeans can be, no matter how well dressed they are, even if it's just Wet tissue, many actually asked me for multiple ones.

Luckily for them, im generous! Hahah

world peace

Yeah i've been busy. Busy to my neck, busy neglecting my poor little boo bun.
It's that busy. It's only Tuesday, but there's already council applicant interviews, Bash meetings, Recruitment drives, pageant stuff done with so far.

I badly needed my personal space and time for myself, to reflect and just not bother myself with "worldly" issues.. So retail therapy served it's purpose well, armed with my nano, i had all the silence i needed, despite the throngs of people walking by... *smiles*

Eyed at a cute but flimsy top, but bought another top instead. Pampered myself with a Laneige water sleeping pack, and saw a friend or 2, said Hi, but was just too tired to carry a conversation.

Tried on a few pairs of shoes at Far East, but the foot support was either bad, too harsh on the feet, or is atrociously manufactured, especially the Mondo floral heels that i tried on. To think that they have the cheek to put crap merchandise up on display! I'll be crippled in 5minutes, if i had to walk in it!

There's simply no excuse for it to have 2 stump of nail like lumps sticking out at the heel area, when it's supposed to be flat, for your heel to rest on? How am i going to walk, when even standing is uncomfortable?

-------

The much needed personal space helped clear my thoughts, and looking at the way things are going, i am definitely going to have a fruitful experience this semester. Problem keeps appearing, and at the end of everything it all boils down to the complexity of human relations.

Would my intevention help solve conflicts? If it would, i'll gladly do it. Unfortunately, life is never that easy.

If you ask me, i think it's precisely the complexity of human behavior, that made me the person i am today. The reason why i choose to be a friend snob, to keep a low profile, and be as aloof as i can be. ( Yes, I enjoy being a hermit crab at times...)

Being denial and aloof has it's perks! Yet, circumstances are kinda pushing me out of my comfort zone. Things are getting alittle too spicey recently, and i'll gladly take a peaceful boat ride anyday, than to settle for an adventurous stormy ride ever so often.

So why can't i be bimbotic for once, and just really wished for World peace?

Because sweetie, life is never a bed of roses, says I. Ha!

new hairdo

The New hair cut.
It looks decent frm this picture, but the left of my face.... I look like half a boy (quote Da)
Haha.... I dont really like this new cut...and i miss George's style..

but i'll live with it.

*yawn* im exhausted. going to bed.
I've been attending school faithfully everyday...and you wont believe my schedule,
but i've got classes from monday to saturday!!!

Disgusting right?

shoppping spree!

I've been busy shopping! I've shopped the entire town!
Zoe and i combed Icon a day before orientation, and i bought myself a pretty bracelet with dangly trinkets, and i fell IN LURVVVEE with this pretty fairy bracelet. But For a toy accessory, it's definitely not worth the dough...

Was throwing money over at Mango Scotts before i went over to ICON, and i bought a black racer tank and a blue tubie, while Zoe was having her hair trimmed.

Went shopping at Marina and Suntec on Saturday, and i bought myself a cute slack pants with pocket ribbons from Mango Marina, and this suspiciously short stripey green skirt, which i mistook as a tube top, and there's the very sweet and demure white blouse that i bought with Zoe at BySI, and not forgetting the pair of capri tt i bought at Suntec, to perform operation Slitted Capri.

Slitted capri was a success, though mommy thinks the slits went a tad too high.
Ironed my growing stack of clothes, altered the looks of a top, a dress, and they look as cute as new, and ta da! I'm all ready for school!!!
Itchy fingers can just be sooooo fun at times! Haha!

School starts on Monday, while the others are starting on Wednesday...how unfair!!

I'm signing off for supper, then sleep. Yuckky school!Bah!

blah blah blah updates!

2 seperate mambo days *note the outfits*

Orientation is finally over! I dont know about the others, but i am definitely satisfied with all my fellow councillor's performance, and amazed at how everything flowed smoothly without any major hitches!

Probably has something do with the my low expectations, and my over active imagination that kept nagging preparing me for any disasters to happen. Therefore, i really wasn't expecting much, but you know, good surprises are always welcomed!

I ended my day, going over to Boo's house to recuperate on my sleep.
I didn't sleep the night before orientation, not because i was too excited, but because my laptop's down with trojan virus once again. *beep* *beep* *beep*
I swear i wasn't surfing any porn or illicit websites, so why was i affected, it absolutely beats me.
My poor bun bun have to fly down to my place after he was done with work, to save my laptop.

Naturally, i was devastated over the unfortunate virus incident! It wasn't until yesterday, that it was repaired..sigh..

I woke up went home, got changed, and ended my Wednesday at Zouk's Mambo Jumbo, as a form of a mini post orientation celebration with Kenny, Robin, Zoe, and not forgetting the others that were present at zouk, but hanging out with other cliques. =)













I spent the whole of yesterday recuperating on sleep, yes i am exhausted!
Waking up in the evening, i trudge over to boo's place, and we got hooked onto TVB's "The gateaux affair" shortly after dinner. It's really amazing how boo and i get addicted to drama serials like aunties do, and what's worst, we can never stop ourselves.
It all started with Channel 55's first episode, and i decided that watching 1 hour's worth of drama just wasn't satisfying enough, so we went to the living room, dug out the Gateaux set of DVD, and started watching...
Just like Desperate housewife, my bun bun and i watched all 20 episode within a night. We finally finished the gateaux affair at 11am in the morning, friday. Scary, aren't we? *grin*

It's interesting enough to note that i never watch the telly at home on a daily basis, but once i get started on drama's like this, i can never tell myself to stop. Yes i'll sacrifice sleep, just to finish the story as soon as possible.

Well the Male lead in Gateaux is Joe Ma. He's just soooooo charismatic in this show. Yes, yes, i'm swooning over how dashingly charismatic he is in this show.... *drools*
I'm even considering getting my boo bun to wear a blazer in this hot sunny Singapore. That's how crazy i am! Ho ho ho!






I woke up at 7 in the evening, and got dressed to go home. Boo had to meet the boys for dinner, to celebrate Danny's birthday! Yes, they're getting old! Haha!
I got home, ate dinner, stoned alittle, update mommy about my life ( from orientation day til today), stoned alittle more, than met up with Zoe for a KTV session at Cineleisure Kbox.
Yeah, we sang from 11pm - 4am.. Her voice is gonna give way, while mine's fine..
It was fun, and we decided to watch sad touching MTVs to entertain ourselves - it sure became alittle soppy and teary after alittle while, *beams*
We plan to go on a shopping trip tmr, wish me luck with my shopping list ya?
It's not often that i get things that i plan to buy, as well as items that is never within my budget, and of course, the size and color. Bah! You'll never know how complicating shopping can be, until you've met me. Hahaha!
