Confessions
Hey ya!
I'm back! Okay, so i finally got through the gruelling 3 Days 2 Nights orientation camp. This entry is all about it. All details and stuff. So, take your lemonade and watch this.
Day 2
Reported at 8.30am. Sad lah. Packed my backpack only the night before. Wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Guess I'm the only one feeling so in the group.
Started the day. I smsed and smsed and smsed. It's an excuse to not join in their conversations. Ok. So they've already got all their cliques. There's no one alone. They will wait for one another and so and so.
I forgot what happened. I supposed we played games. =)
Met our course carepersons. Hell i was lost. Haha. Eunice told us where to go person by person. And i was the last to be told where the hell i was supposed to meet my careperson. G.R.E.A.T. HAHAHA. I was told to go to Room 4-50. I went up and discovered it was a bunk. So i went around asking for help and nobody could help me. In the end, Hui Zhen(GL) took me to the Admin desk and they called Gary(the guy in my group who's in ADM) to ask him where the ADM people are. Hui Zhen then brought me to the third floor(dammit!) and we coincidentally chanced upon teo ADM seniors. So they brought me into their room.
EVERYONE WAS HAVING PIZZA! Hahahaha. So i went in and sat down at a table. Coincidentally Rahimah was there. I knew it! I've seen her around the school, but i wasn't sure which course she was in. But there was a TP newsletter in which she had an interbiew, ans she said she wanted to take ADM. Okay, so she's there. Wah lao eh. They are so enthu lah. Somehow i was more outgoing with the ADM people.
Ok. 1.25pm, went back to our respective groups.
Evening came. We were supposed to go to Sentosa by ourselves. Our group decided to take public transport. We were supposed to take bus 23 to Boon Keng and take MRT from there, but we missed the bus cause we were waiting for Eunice. Sometimes i think she is trash. She doesn't know how to lead lah. She's always doing shit, making people wait for her and disappearing for the whole day. Whatever. So we waited a long time, watching other groups board bus 69. In the end we were told to take bus 69. Ha. Ha. Ha. Bullshit.
So we got on the bus and alighted at the bus interchange. Walked to the MRT interchange. Oh my god. It had only been a few days earlier i had been walking along this stretch of road.
Got on the train. I just sat alone, opposite the girls who sat together. Woah they are like so chat-table, talking non-stop. I wonder how people can have so many stuff to talk about when they've just got together for one day.
Swtiched to NEL at Outram Park. Alighted at Harbourfront. Then we went to Vivocity. Just when i was wondering why we were going into a shopping mall, we arrived at the fourth floor, and i realised we were supposed to take the monorail from here. So we hopped on, and alighted at Beach Station.
From there we assembled at this Emerald Pavilion and started our games. It was so boring i wanted to sleep. I took every chance that i could sleep to sleep. Hahahaha.
Finally finally the day ended. It was around 1++am. We waited for the buses to come and made our back to TP.
I only got to sleep at 4++am cause of the bitches who bathed in their own sweet time. Come on lah, spare a thought for others. If this were NPCC, three minutes and someone would be banging on your door. Now i miss the times in NPCC. HAHAHA.
Oh no. My handphone's battery is flat. I just watched the number of batteries on the screen drop and drop through the day and now I'm left stranded without the ability to SMS.
Day 3
We went for the Design dance early this morning at the Sports Complex. It's kinda like international dance, with twirls and swirls. I was the guy. Yay. I think i was the reason why two girls besties were broken up. Cause i didn't want to dance with a guy. Hell yeah I'm the motherfucking princess. HAHAHA.
So we danced, and then this Chicky Dance came. Somehow everyone knew how it goes except me. So i just turned when they turned, except that i didn't do the actions. Ok, so it's over, and the group decided to takeaway McD. I didn't, cause i had something on.
During lunch break, I went to the business school. I had a wonderful rendezvous with my love. We drank canned Milo(haha) together. Soon she had to go back to the group and i made my way back to the bunk.
We were called into our respective courses again. The careperson/course manger gave us a talk on the course. Okay i was trying to keep awake and i'm sitting right in front of the screen. Then Moses gave a talk too. Oh my god. I could hardly keep my eyes open.
At night, we had our performances.Oh hell the backstage was damn damn BIG. Really! It's as big as the auditorium itself. Oh my. AWESOME! COOL! We performed our skit. Of course I'm not the main character.
Guess what. We won SECOND! Ok, there were prizes.
Then we proceeded for nightwalk. Not before the in charge, Joseph, told us ghost stories about the campus,or better still, the design school. I was so tired i wasn't scared or frightened a bit. He said that Thursday night is not a good night for design schoo. Alright. Anyway, i realised a lot of people in the school have got mohawk heads, including this Joseph guy.
Okay, so we began our nightwalk. It goes like this. There's a storyline, which is that there is a massacre in Temasek Design School, and we have to find out who's the killer. We have to look for clues on our own.
First we went to a cluster of fallen dustbins. They are those large Sembwaste kinds, and they are painted on for some kinda project by the seniors. One 'ghost' was lying in one of the fallen dustbins. Oh my. The makeup was so damn gorgeous! 'Blood' spewed all over her face and hands. Gary started,"What happened to you?" from behind. Then I started laughing mad. Eunice then shushed, saying something about not laughing about his kind of things.
Damn it was exciting! All those ghosts and dark wanderers. The girls were shrieking like hell while i was laughing like hell. I mean, it was really hilarious. Sometimes the dark wanderers will suddenly fall on the floor and crawl towards us then i would start laughing again. So we went to various stations to see the different ghosts and got clues from them. Wow their acting was good. They didn't laugh or what, but just acted their part.
The nightwalk ended, and we went back to the LT(lecture theatre) to submit our answers. In the end they showed us a video which depicted the actual story of what happened.
Hurray. Time to sleep!
Day 4
Last day. Oh god. It's finally here.
I realised that some of the people in my group are very childish. Childish, not child-like. It may be because we are from different schools or age ranges, but somehow their thinking is not mature like what that of a 16-year-old should be. Like, when someone gets in front of them and they are queuing up, there will be incessant murmuring of "cut queue". Come on, just tell them straight in the face instead of complaining. And those people weren't even cut-queuing. Oh i hate that word. Then on the second night, other girls were moving into our bunk cause there wasn't enough space at the other bunks. The girls are like so kiasu, hurrying to book places with their sleeping bags. One more thing. The girls in my group are so un-rugged and weak. I don't need to describe that.
Anyway, It's the FINAL CLASH today, where all the five schools compete against each other. We got ready and put on our 'makeup'. We had to draw our faces. with camouflage paint(the kind soldiers use). Everyone was given a 'squeeze' of black paint and a 'squeeze' of green paint. Everybody was like two horizontal stripes across the cheek. So i decided to do something different. I was thinking if i should draw a star or vertical stripes. Then Hui Zhen came over to help, and she drew three vertical stripes on each side of my face, plus eyeshadow. G-R-E-E-N. Hahaha. Fun. Some of the seniors were very creative. Pirates, beards and all.
The design school purposely waited until all the schools were settled down before walking into the stadium. So big shot right. We settled down.(There was very little space.) We had to stand up and cheer occasionally, but after a few rounds i gave up because it was hard to move around. Then there were those bloody Malay bitches who kept asking people to stand up and cheer. It's irritating lah. Argh. Makes my blood boil thinking of them. The way they do it. You can't force everyone to be as enthu as you, ok.
Then someone went away for the games and i got more space. In the beginning i was cheering and all, then i started to doze off while standing. So i decided to sit down. Then i started to doze off while sitting down. So i decided to lie my head down on my knees to get a nap. Luckily nodoby really bothered about me. Only one girl was like,"Are you okay?" I think she saw me swaying from side to side in my sleep.
The games were completed, and we made our way to Bedok Reservoir. Regetta 2007. So the dragon-boats raced against each other, the design students cheered like hell(except me who sat half-asleep at the back most of the time), and the cheerleaders went on stage. Oh my. Design students are really high and enthu. If there's any loud music they'll stand up and boogey. Not me. Then they'll cheer like mad. I was so tired of it all. Haha.
HURRAY! It's all over. We made our way back to the school to have a final gathering. Moses and the seniors gave speeches. There were some heartwrenching moments. "You are no longer freshmen. Welcome to Temasek Design School" and stuff. One big family. Then we were told to give a final hug. All the freshies.
AND WE WERE THROWN WITH WATER BOMBS. I was damn soaking wet. The seniors threw down water bombs from the above floors. Ouch. Then it was smelly. I guess it was because we were perspiring.
Then we off to ourselves, and we were told there was a design Jam and Hop later.
I met up with Nicky after taking my stuff, and we went to see the TP Jam and Hop. Oh my god. There wasn't quite a crowd there. So we went to the design Jam, and it hadn't started, so we left TP and made out way to TM. Had dinner, took neoprints and went home.
The tormenting days are over. Oh man. I wasted three days of my life. Sometimes i wonder if i would better enjoy myself if i was more social. But the part of me being more social is anything but possible. Yeah, so...
Hurray.
I'm back! Okay, so i finally got through the gruelling 3 Days 2 Nights orientation camp. This entry is all about it. All details and stuff. So, take your lemonade and watch this.

Busted
Ha. Orientation. MY weakest link. I knew i was going to die. Die of antisociality, die of heatstroke, die. Just die.
Ok. So we were supposed to reach there by 9am. My mama fetched me there(lazy lah) and hell i was pretty apprehensive. Ok. So i figured where to report, and so it turns out that it was on the second or third floor. And there were a LOT of people. Damn. I went to the 'booths' and asked the girl there something(i forgot what). Then she told me ADM was another booth. So i went over to ADM booth, and asked the person there. She said registration had not started yet.
Then one guy with a loudspeaker suddenly yelled,"REGISTRATION blah blah blah" I thought i heard "over" or something. Then everyone suddenly started cheering. Oh. Registration starts now. I got in second as i was at the booth at that time. It's good to be late, isn't it?
After registering(my five bucks gone!) someone led us to the auditorium. There were very few people. Waited like 45 minutes for the whole place to fill up(and i didn't notice when it happened). Before that the emcees were like cheering us on. I just ignored them and kept smsing.
Actually there was a girl two seats away from me. We were both using our handphones, and she was like,"What course are you in?" "ADM" "Oh, me too" Then we went back to our own business. It's so stupid. Long empty silence. Then we were told to move up and we went apart.
Got to move up somemore, and sat next to a guy. YAY i got the aisle seat.
The emcees were like fooling around somemore. The guy next to me was like so H~I~G~H~. Hahahaha. He attended the Freshmen Orientation Camp(FOC). Then one of the emcees said "Turn to your right and shake hands with him or her" Ok. So boviously that guy tried to make friends with me. I had no choice but to just go along, shake a hand. Some kinda course I've never heard before.
Finally finally finally the programme started. There were tons of cheers. It was followed by a short(one minute) talk by the CAMP RADICAL chairman. Some guy named David. Then came the talk given by Moses Wong, the Director of TDS. Very very long talk. One hour perhaps. He's a wacky guy. He talks a lot. Then sometimes he would say "Tell the person beside you that you are a winner", "Tell the person beside you that 'This guy(Moses himself) is okay'." So the guy beside me just sort of mumbled these things, like he wanted to turn over to tell me but daren't cause i looked like i was going to beat him up. Great. Don't disturb me.
By then i've already realised there's no connection in the auditorium after several failed sent messages. Sigh. Miss my darling.
Then after the long talk, we went into our groups. I was in this Vader(T) group. Sat in circles and did the self-intro and played some games. I was going to cry. Of boredom. Of irritation. Of all of them. They needed a group name. Somehow 'Toilet' was suggested...
Then we went out.
Break time! YAY! A momentarily release. I sneaked off to the toilet. Nobody noticed me. Then i sneaked to the second floor of this MENSA canteen to grab a sandwich. Ok, i was originally eating there, but i decided to takeout. No way i'm gonna sit there retardedly. I quickly got my stuff and went for a walk. Chatted on the phone with my darling and strolled around the campus. I think it should be the Triangular Garden.
Suddenly this person called me by my name. Oh. Someone from secondary school. Other than her i don't see other familiar faces. Good.
I hid in some corner and took some photos and drank Milo. The group assembled at 1.45pm, and i sneakily joined them from behind. I purposely don't want to see those people.
They are already in groups, in pairs, with their new-found friends. Good. So you'll leave me alone, won't you?
Looked at *our* neoprints.
They really took 'Toilet'. Oh my god.
Thought i saw a friend when we were sitting down. Must be the sun.
Proceeded to games. One involves guessing idioms. They were competing against another group. The guy has to back-carry the blindfolded girl from the starting point to the ending point, where there's a board. Then the girl will draw out the picture as the guy instructs her to do so. The rest of the group members would try to guess the idiom. There were four 'couples' from each group, and our group won. Yeah, cheer somemore. Aren't they tired of this?
The GL(group leader) then suggested that we should change the group name to 'Twiggy'. The supermodel. Once-upon-a-time. She's like so enthu. Those big actions and stuff. She's got a mohawk head.
Water balloons. They were what i saw in the cardboard box. Dammit. Luckily it doesn't involves getting wet. It's just passing the water balloons from cloth to cloth till the end. Two people will stand facing each other, holding a piece of cloth in between them, to pass the balloon. So we were told to stand in two lines. Everyone got into twos quickly, except me and another guy. So he sort of told me,"Let's go to the back" So i followed him. Then he was told to stay there while i went to the front. I was the person to pass the balloons down. Great. I won't need to cooperate with anyone.
Almost everyone in the group was enthu except for me and that guy. I wasn't particularly involved in their discussions/games/cheers/chats. No way. I can't do this. There're so many bitches in this world and i got to meet them all. Ha. What a joke.
It started to rain, and we were called back to the auditorium. Damn i hated it there. Can't sms.
The seniors started to teach us the TP song, complete with hand signals. I didn't do one bit. I didn't even try. Then they taught us the Chicken Dance. Just when i thought things couldn't get worse. Everyone was doing, i think. Except me. All of us were standing up and i was highly exposed. I was in the middle, and there were empty seats in front of me cause the GLs had gone to the stage. Dammit. How unfortunate could it get.
Everyone was crazy and happy, while i just stood there. And the AV people are damn irritating. They keep shooting different people in the audience and it's right there on the screen!. But the part where they did funny things to the emcees was hilarious. Oh yes. One senior was mentioning the Vader cheer at the water balloon station. It was funny, with reference to the famous Hokkien Star Wars video.
Anyway, they did it a few times, then the emcee said,"I know someone is not doing, I won't sabo, but someone is not doing" How come i had i feeling that that someone was referring to me?" Whatever. You can't do anything to me. Fight lah.
Then Moses came in, and said encouraging words, telling us to relax and do what they tell us to do. Cause it won't be that stupid if four hundred over people are doing. If you don't do it, you will look stupid, cause you're the special one. Yeah right. Very persuasive. So i continued to stand there, hoping that my face won't be pasted on the screen. I was paranoid. I searched ofr myself eveytime the picture changes. Is this their way of fun? Yes?
It's basically lame. The whole affair. I don't know what's the purpose of orientation. It disorientates me.
We were released early, thanks to Moses. Good. Get out of this fucking place which contains all the suckers.
Took 15 to another bus stop where there is bus 27. I got up the 27 and sat beside a girl from my group. No seats what. She was sleeping i guess.
Went to CP. So sad that the smoking poster is gone. Bought stuff again and went for dinner with my brother.
Home had never been so appealing.
Oh yes. I bought The Best Damn Thing. It's so damn PINK! And it's all pop. Yeah, Avril said she enjoyed singing upbeat, fast-tempo songs, but this is too much. And it's NC16! What did she do? It's like no big deal with "fuck", "bitch" or "slut" in her lyrics, but i didn't expect her to use it so much in this album. So there're explicit versions of three songs in this album.
I won't deny that her voice and musical style has changed. Honestly I'm pretty upset about it. It's true on the boards. She's morphing into something she said she hated so much.
Sigh. Have to get up even earlier tomorrow. 8.30am to reach there. I'm gonna be late so that there won't be unneccesary conversations/people.
I won't hope for a better day tomorrow. Cause i know there wont be. And i won't try to make it so. I just have to plough through this.
I'm not pessismistic. Yeah. Maybe. In some areas.
Hope i'll still be alive after these four days.
Starting the countdown again. It makes me happier. So.
Three more days.
Yet to pack my stuff. Off to camp tomorrow. So you won't be seeing me anytime now. Wait for another two to three days.
Ok. So we were supposed to reach there by 9am. My mama fetched me there(lazy lah) and hell i was pretty apprehensive. Ok. So i figured where to report, and so it turns out that it was on the second or third floor. And there were a LOT of people. Damn.

Then came the talk given by Moses Wong, the Director of TDS. Very very long talk. One hour perhaps. He's a wacky guy. He talks a lot. Then sometimes he would say "Tell the person beside you that you are a winner", "Tell the person beside you that 'This guy(Moses himself) is okay'." So the guy beside me just sort of mumbled these things, like he wanted to turn over to tell me but daren't cause i looked like i was going to beat him up. Great. Don't disturb me.
By then i've already realised there's no connection in the auditorium after several failed sent messages. Sigh. Miss my darling.
Then after the long talk, we went into our groups. I was in this Vader(T) group. Sat in circles and did the self-intro and played some games. I was going to cry. Of boredom. Of irritation. Of all of them. They needed a group name. Somehow 'Toilet' was suggested...
Then we went out.
Break time! YAY! A momentarily release. I sneaked off to the toilet. Nobody noticed me. Then i sneaked to the second floor of this MENSA canteen to grab a sandwich. Ok, i was originally eating there, but i decided to takeout. No way i'm gonna sit there retardedly. I quickly got my stuff and went for a walk. Chatted on the phone with my darling and strolled around the campus. I think it should be the Triangular Garden.
Suddenly this person called me by my name. Oh. Someone from secondary school. Other than her i don't see other familiar faces. Good.
I hid in some corner and took some photos and drank Milo. The group assembled at 1.45pm, and i sneakily joined them from behind. I purposely don't want to see those people.
They are already in groups, in pairs, with their new-found friends. Good. So you'll leave me alone, won't you?
Looked at *our* neoprints.
They really took 'Toilet'. Oh my god.
Thought i saw a friend when we were sitting down. Must be the sun.
Proceeded to games. One involves guessing idioms. They were competing against another group. The guy has to back-carry the blindfolded girl from the starting point to the ending point, where there's a board. Then the girl will draw out the picture as the guy instructs her to do so. The rest of the group members would try to guess the idiom. There were four 'couples' from each group, and our group won. Yeah, cheer somemore. Aren't they tired of this?
The GL(group leader) then suggested that we should change the group name to 'Twiggy'. The supermodel. Once-upon-a-time. She's like so enthu. Those big actions and stuff. She's got a mohawk head.
Water balloons. They were what i saw in the cardboard box. Dammit. Luckily it doesn't involves getting wet. It's just passing the water balloons from cloth to cloth till the end. Two people will stand facing each other, holding a piece of cloth in between them, to pass the balloon. So we were told to stand in two lines. Everyone got into twos quickly, except me and another guy. So he sort of told me,"Let's go to the back" So i followed him. Then he was told to stay there while i went to the front. I was the person to pass the balloons down. Great. I won't need to cooperate with anyone.
Almost everyone in the group was enthu except for me and that guy. I wasn't particularly involved in their discussions/games/cheers/chats. No way. I can't do this. There're so many bitches in this world and i got to meet them all. Ha. What a joke.
It started to rain, and we were called back to the auditorium. Damn i hated it there. Can't sms.
The seniors started to teach us the TP song, complete with hand signals. I didn't do one bit. I didn't even try. Then they taught us the Chicken Dance. Just when i thought things couldn't get worse. Everyone was doing, i think. Except me. All of us were standing up and i was highly exposed. I was in the middle, and there were empty seats in front of me cause the GLs had gone to the stage. Dammit. How unfortunate could it get.
Everyone was crazy and happy, while i just stood there. And the AV people are damn irritating. They keep shooting different people in the audience and it's right there on the screen!. But the part where they did funny things to the emcees was hilarious. Oh yes. One senior was mentioning the Vader cheer at the water balloon station. It was funny, with reference to the famous Hokkien Star Wars video.
Anyway, they did it a few times, then the emcee said,"I know someone is not doing, I won't sabo, but someone is not doing" How come i had i feeling that that someone was referring to me?" Whatever. You can't do anything to me. Fight lah.
Then Moses came in, and said encouraging words, telling us to relax and do what they tell us to do. Cause it won't be that stupid if four hundred over people are doing. If you don't do it, you will look stupid, cause you're the special one. Yeah right. Very persuasive. So i continued to stand there, hoping that my face won't be pasted on the screen. I was paranoid. I searched ofr myself eveytime the picture changes. Is this their way of fun? Yes?
It's basically lame. The whole affair. I don't know what's the purpose of orientation. It disorientates me.
We were released early, thanks to Moses. Good. Get out of this fucking place which contains all the suckers.
Took 15 to another bus stop where there is bus 27. I got up the 27 and sat beside a girl from my group. No seats what. She was sleeping i guess.
Went to CP. So sad that the smoking poster is gone. Bought stuff again and went for dinner with my brother.
Home had never been so appealing.
Oh yes. I bought The Best Damn Thing. It's so damn PINK! And it's all pop. Yeah, Avril said she enjoyed singing upbeat, fast-tempo songs, but this is too much. And it's NC16! What did she do? It's like no big deal with "fuck", "bitch" or "slut" in her lyrics, but i didn't expect her to use it so much in this album. So there're explicit versions of three songs in this album.
I won't deny that her voice and musical style has changed. Honestly I'm pretty upset about it. It's true on the boards. She's morphing into something she said she hated so much.
Sigh. Have to get up even earlier tomorrow. 8.30am to reach there. I'm gonna be late so that there won't be unneccesary conversations/people.
I won't hope for a better day tomorrow. Cause i know there wont be. And i won't try to make it so. I just have to plough through this.
I'm not pessismistic. Yeah. Maybe. In some areas.
Hope i'll still be alive after these four days.
Starting the countdown again. It makes me happier. So.
Three more days.
Yet to pack my stuff. Off to camp tomorrow. So you won't be seeing me anytime now. Wait for another two to three days.
Accomplishment
Oh yeah. Shopping day.
We set off early this morning. Firstly to HG Mall to settle some stuff.
Next stop: Orchard. Went shopping at Takashimaya and Wisma Atria. Noep. I was very frugal today. I only bought two bottles of nail polish at Sasa at HG Mall. No clothes today.
Travelled to Bugis. Then we went to dine. High tea. Next we went shopping around Parco, and i introduced Nicky to the blouse from Dano i had recommended her.
Next we went shopping at Bugis Street. We made a pact to buy everything we need for poly today. Had too. Running out of time. Shopped for a long long time.
Got my stuff- Backpack, slippers, pencil case, Converse sneakers(my first! serious!). Yay.
Nicky bought more than i did. I'm so happy for her. Hahahaha.
Great day.
HURRAY!
Oh. Doomsday is tomorrow.

Zeal
First day of my newfound freedom. And i ain't gonna waste it away.
Went out with my brothers. Took the train to Plaza Singapura. Walked to Cathay to but tickets for Mr Bean's Holiday at 1.10pm. Then we went back to PS to have lunch. They should seriously build an underpass to link The Cathay and PS. There's no proper crossing road/bridge/underpass/linkway.
Bought the tickets for the 4pm TMNT show from GV.
We had Indonesian BBQ at the food court. My brother introduced us to it. We had one set each. But we were way to full to finish up everything. What a waste.
Shi Yng called me. Private number, so i thought who it was. When i received the call and heard her sickening voice, I knew what was gonna happen. She's always giving me that sick, pitiful voice when she needs a favour from me.
She had sore eyes, and asked me if i could go back. Of course not. I'm out of that place! What a great time to contract sore eyes. Damn. Solve it yourself.
Later TM Dano called me. Siew Foon said Pooi Fong asked me if i could go back to work one more day. No way! I've got programmes FULLY lined up for the WHOLE day. Damn you.
Ok. So we went to Cathay again. So Mr Bean's Hoilday begun. As usual, for Bean, one thing led to another. He just gets into trouble and more trouble. Some parts were truly entertaining and hilarious. The ending was a HAPPY ENDING. Hahaha.
E2Max was expensive. They had a one-for-one promotion, but it's one hour for one hour, not one person for one person. By the way there's a $2 offer price for tertiary students. So we went to the cyber cafe further down the road. $1 per hour. DOTA rocks my world. I'm getting better. Hahahahahahaha.
Then we went back to PS. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! My childhood fave. Hahaha. It's a good show. It's packed with action complete with a lil' tinge of warm touches. Hahaha.
We bought toys at the Carrefour Atrium Sale. Yeah, i still can't and won't grow up. My lil bro and i bought cars. Mine is $24.90, while his is only $7.90. Difference in size. Mine is F1. His is normal car. I took the last black one on display, later to discover they had new ones at the actual store.
Thereafter we went to AMK by train, where our parents picked us up.
Had dinner and went home.
Sweet.
Ouch. My brother pressed my pimple in the afternoon and now it's inflamed.

Yearn
Last day. But it just doesn't seems like THE Last Day. Somehow.
I wrote "Bye bye Dano!" in the timetable under my row.
Siew Foon went out to buy lunch, and bought an anklet for me from Sinma. Oh. So touched. Hahaha. Could it be cause it's my last day?
I went out for lunch-er, actually i didn't eat-and went shopping. I won't ever come back to TM. No way. So i shall buy everything i wanted to from here today.
I bought chocolates from Chocolat World for them. Hell it's expensive. i got six and it was already $7+++. Luckily i had looked up at the weighing machine. Quite nice but nothing much special.
Bye Dano.
I overslept on the bus and alighted at the stop that is one stop further than mine. Luckily i woke up in time. I thought there were still a few stops before my stop.
ZeRo days. Bye to misery. Hi to freedom.

Vying for Everything
Why can't you
Stop competing?
You want everything
That you see others with.
Why are you
Vying with me?
For the number of friends you have
For the boxes of makeup in your wardrobe
For the pieces of branded stuff you own?
You're vying with me for the top spot.
Why are you vying with me
For everything?
Everything that i want.
Everything that i have.
You can have all that you want.
You're jealous.
You're greedy.
I can give it all to you.
You're pathetic.
Find some life of your own.

Xtragavanza
Walked around TM cause i was early for work. I need to buy pants for orientation. Black, 3/4, baggy pants. So i went to ask around at the interchange shops. I got one pair from CK. Can't try, though. Bought Elle magazine cause i like the cover-RED!
1pm. Went for work.
I went to the bank. Last time. YAY! It was raining. Never mind. I just walked through the drizzle. Long queue again. Wait, wait, wait. They didn't have coins anymore, so i changed the fifty dollar note to five dollar notes.
I was waiting for the traffic light at the road leading back to Century Square. The green man appeared, and everyone moved. I could see everyone on the opposite crossing the road except for a middle-aged woman. She had short hair and looked like your typical auntie. She looked flustered. Apparently i was the first to reach the other side of the road. The woman suddenly 'attacked' me.
Woman: Excuse me. (She was bringing her arms around me but not touching me yet.)
Me: Yes? (Ok. Road directions, yeah?)
Woman: Canyoulendmetendollarsineeditformyfatherihavenomoneycanyouhelpme
No typo error. She was babbling strings of sentences and this is what i barely heard.
Me(shocked): Sorry. (And i made to leave.)
Then she started grabbing my arms and pleading me. I was so oh my god. I had to push my way past her. I quickly walked away. Looking back, i saw her stopping other people. Oh my god. I didn't know why this happened. There are three possibilities:
1. She's really in need for money.
2. She's a con.
3. She's bonkers.
I don't think she's the last two options. But I couldn't help her even if i wanted. I had no cash.
So i went back to the shop.
Nothing interesting happened. We chatted about ghosts.
Went for break. Walked in circles at Isetan. I love GOLD.
Now i know they don't deduct salary for being late, for unconfirmed staff. Phew.
Ran errands for Foon. Bought her sausages from Cold Storage. I got a McFlurry for myself. So i sat there, shook my leg, and ate.
Shi Yng went home early. We closed shop at 10pm.
Time flies when you aren't enjoying yourself.
1pm. Went for work.
I went to the bank. Last time. YAY! It was raining. Never mind. I just walked through the drizzle. Long queue again. Wait, wait, wait. They didn't have coins anymore, so i changed the fifty dollar note to five dollar notes.
I was waiting for the traffic light at the road leading back to Century Square. The green man appeared, and everyone moved. I could see everyone on the opposite crossing the road except for a middle-aged woman. She had short hair and looked like your typical auntie. She looked flustered. Apparently i was the first to reach the other side of the road. The woman suddenly 'attacked' me.
Woman: Excuse me. (She was bringing her arms around me but not touching me yet.)
Me: Yes? (Ok. Road directions, yeah?)
Woman: Canyoulendmetendollarsineeditformyfatherihavenomoneycanyouhelpme
No typo error. She was babbling strings of sentences and this is what i barely heard.
Me(shocked): Sorry. (And i made to leave.)

One Day
Sometimes in life
We just cross paths.
Maybe we brushed across
Each other on the road
And forgot about it.
Maybe we were in the same class
But didn't cared a bit.
We promised to stay in contact
But we failed.
We tried really hard
But there's just too much.
And time soon passes.
One day
You'll forget me
One day
I'll not remember who you are.
You're thrown
To the back of my head.
I just told myself to wait.
I said
I'll call you some other day.
One day
We might meet again
And let the memories return
One day
We will meet again.
We just cross paths.
Maybe we brushed across
Each other on the road
And forgot about it.
Maybe we were in the same class
But didn't cared a bit.

Welcoming Freedom
Dropped in my cheque at the bank this morning. Updated my passbook and got a SHOCK. Yeah. I'm not joking.
Foon was there. SY was coming in at 4pm. So i just sat there and stared into space.
2pm, i went for lunch. Went shopping at Isetan and had my meal at the food court.
When i returned to the shop, the two salesgirls from Fashion Lab were there. One of them went to try out the new arrivals. Then when she came out she was pointing at me and saying "It's her, it's her!" Foon then explained to me that they saw me staring at the designer yesterday. I was just taking a look when the designer was changing the clothes on the mannequins. He then stared at me, I stared back, then another salesgirl stared at me, I smiled, and walked away. So the real story came. But i'm too lazy to write it out word by word. Haha. Ask me lah.
Shi Yng arrived for work. She went out with Siew Foon for a while.
Sales is getting up after two days of poor sales. Yesterday's was pulled up by one customer who spent $140++ and a student who had had six pieces of white blouses transferred over here. Today's wasn't bad either.
Then some professional guy came in. He went to take a look at the 'cash register' inside the storeroom. Originally we had to key in the sales every night, but it went bonkers and we didn't use it anymore. Later i learnt that the machine was used to send sales to CapitaLand, and was just installed somewhere near CNY. I thought it was already there long ago and was some sorta old cash register the staff once used. Big boss is stingy. He bought the cheapest device. HAHAHA. Shi Yng had to copy out the Nett Sales from February cause we hadn't used the machine for quite a while.
Bought magazines. It's just an excuse to sneak off from work.
Then around 7pm i went out for a walk.(haha) Bought a coffee bun from Q Bread. Very hungry lah. Checked out the anklets at SINMA. Went back again.
I fell asleep on the table. SY woke me up cause she wanted to go to the toilet. I sorta drifted back to sleep again but appeared awake just in time cause one customer wanted to try on a dress.
Went to buy food again. Another coffee bun, but from Breadtalk. Not as tasty as the previous one, though.
Then one damn customer dragged and dragged, such that we only left the shop at 9.50pm. But at least she bought $180++ worth of stuff. And she changed into the new clothes right away. HUH? I mean, It's so late. Where was she going? Commit suicide? Mind you, she was wearing red.
Damn i can't even go home early for one last time. =0
YAY! HOME!
Hurray!
Count it yourself.

Vexed
11 April 2007
Back to work. Shi Yng's day off.
Siew Foon told me that Pooi Fong asked for me this morning. Foon said that it must be to tell me that i won't get my pay cheque until i quit. No way. I NEED CASH!
I bought an anklet to combine with Siew Foon's stuff to make it 3 for $10. It's a shiny Celtic cross. Yeah, i just love crosses.
Later Pooi Fong called back again. She asked me when was my off day. 14 April. Yeah. Just to confirm it. She then asked me to check the contractor's contact number on the shutters. I thought i saw a sticker somewhere there. So i pulled down the shutters without putting the metal first. No number, no nothing. The shutter couldn't go up. In the end we pushed it up.
Uncle driver came today with more new goods. They've been coming since this Monday. They are going to remove everything i guess.
Dammit. I was sitting on the stool when i saw the cross of anklet on the floor. It had came off from the anklet. I went back to the stall and asked the person about it. She said there's nothing she could do. Oh yes there is. You can exchange it for a new one. No i didn't say that. Hahaha. Siew Foon tried to mend it with Superglue. But the head of the cross turned black instead. So i kept it away. Damn i had worn it for barely a few hours!
I bought something from Dano again. C'mon, give me a reward!
Nothing interesting happened thereafter.
Closed shop. Foon was putting in the metal at the front, then she started yelling,"Die ah! Today no need to go home!" So i realised that the metal couldn't be put inside the slot. Must be because i tweaked with the shutters just now. So we fumbled about, with the help of the iron hooked rod. Luckily we suceeded. Phew.
Oh yes. I received a package from TP Design School about the orientation programme. There was a hand-written note from a group leader too. She was here to hand-deliver the letter, but no one answered the door. Luckily no one answered the door. There's a trip to Sentosa. And i heard from my friend that someone told her it we would be coming back only at 3am. Ok whatever. And the kit list says that "Shades/Sungalasses" are COMPULSORY. Huh? What was that?
Oh my god i freak out when i think about orientation. There's a two day camp. Dammit.

Undeniable Fun
10 April 2007
Oh my god. We had a blast today.
So obviously it's my off day. I had made plans with Mich to thoroughly enjoy ourselves today.
We met up at CP at 11am. Then we took the train to Hougang station. Went to have Pepper Lunch. Eeew. I hate corn. Hahaha. The auntie thought it was the staff's fault. But it was me who didn't say i didn't want the corn. So i 'cooked' my chicken while mich 'cooked' her salmon.
We went to walk around to while away the time. Bought some stuff at The Bluez. Now i'm really stocking up for poly. (Well... I've been stocking up for poly for the past few months.) We were on the first floor when we were stopped by an auntie. She recommended us this jelly-like gel. It removes dead skin. I've heard it before on TV. So we got a small bottle each.
Next I bought a small bottle of shampoo and a stay-on conditioner from GLO. The salesperson said if i don't maintain my hair now, split ends will soon appear, and i won't be able to keep my hair long. Damn. No way. So i got the stuff. So pro, huh?
Somehow we made our way to the line of shops outside. Hougang Central. Went to made enquiries at various beauty salons. Went back to HG Mall again and asked somemore. Went back to central again, went to the bank, and continued in our quest of disturbing people.
Finally we made our way to Hougang Plaza. Went up the lift to the third floor with a dangerous-looking guy. Shades, cap and baggy, filthy-looking clothes. He looked like he was gonna flip out a knife anytime to threaten us. Sat at the so-called reception area of KBox. Around 1.57pm, we checked in for K Happy Hour. HAHA. So cheapskate.
Oh my god. It was so fun. I did no serious singing this time. It was just plain, hysterical screaming. HAHAHAHA. Lots of Jay Chou. (Oh my god. He's getting more handsome and gorgeous video after video.) Hahaha. We failed to do something thrilling. S-H-I-T. Mich knows. Hahaha. Some more crappy songs that are oh-so-hot right now. By the way, i realised i've really missed out a lot of popular songs that have been coming out recently. Too busy working. =)
I thought a lot of people looked in to our room when they passed by. Heeheehee.
Thereafter(we left at 7.04pm and nobody noticed) we made our way back to CP. Met up with Amanda. Then we walked to the Euro Funfair. I figured entry tickets had to be purchased before entry judging from the ticket counters at the entrance, but they were now empty. Guess business isn't too good. So we entered. Tsk-tsk. There were barely a few souls around.
So we went away, with the notion that there would be greater attendance at a later time. Went to bought stuff at Cold Storage and chilled out at the stairs. Yah lah, yah lah. We smoked. One packet only. =>
Ok. Returned to the funfair again. More people streaming in. Changed pieces of notes into pieces of paper. 1 token=$2.50. The first ride we took was the Euro Wheel. Start with the relaxing ones first, yeah? We were like, yelling and screaming when we reached the top. I was like, completely nuts. HAHAHA. Thereafter we toned down. Cause it was like the fifth or sixth time! Crazy uncle. Sometimes we were suspended in the topmost part cause people wanted to 'board' the wheel. We saw pugilists practising martial arts on the rooftop of the Sengkang CC. Then we went turning and turning and turning until the uncle finally came to his senses. Nevermind. It's worth the money this way. Went out for Vomitting Session One.
Then we saw a lot of people on the Topgun ride. Dammit we missed it. So we went to purchase the 'coins' for the bumper cars. But we saw people going up the Topgun ride again and we made a dash for it. I sat alone in the first row while them both sat behind me. I Am The DAREDEVIL. Hahaha. We were, like, screaming profanities while we went upside down. FYI it's like Cadbury. Shorter version, though.
Vomitting Session Two.
Then we went for bumper car. Yay! I enjoyed myself crashing my car into others'. I would purposely go one big round and strike the others hard. Hahaha.
Went to take a ride on this machine that moves up, down, left and right haphazardly(forgot the name). There were only three of us on the whole long row of seats. Again we were screaming our heads off. We were jolted here and there for a few rounds. Then we decided to drop our shoes. I can't help but praise myself for being a good aimer. My shoes would be right at my feet when the ride stopped. One of Mich's sandals was missing. We can't see it from where we were.
Mich felt like puking and we shouted to the control-ler to stop. Guess he didn't hear it. After a few more times we were let off. So one of the sandals was under the seats. HAHAHA.
Ok. You guessed it. Vomitting Session Number Three.
Didn't play Vortex cause Amanda said it's the same as Topgun. So we proceeded to the carnival games. Mich and I won a mini giraffe each while Amanda got a Pooh mini file. Yay.
Vomitting Session Four. Five, Six... I forgot the number of times we headed outside.
We had supper at McD.
I had a headache. I guess it was because of the yelling, not the rides. Wahaha.
Back home. Hurray.
I went to sleep without bathing. Yucks.

Two In One
8 April 2007
Shi Yng made sandwiches for us. Said cause i was leaving. Hahaha. Egg with ham. There was a small scar near her neck cause the oil spilled. Oops.
Tasted it later. There was one where one small piece was missing from the bread but i took it anyway. Then Shi Yng told me she bit it cause she wanted that piece. Some extra seasoning i guess.
During break i went to Baleno to get some stuff again. Saw some potential caps from Xcraft. Didn't get any.
I tried to 'screw' a nail into an eraser today. Shi Yng told me she bought it. Oops. But i had got it in. Pulled it out agian, and screwed it back in. I realised the eraser was broken. HAHAHA.
I treated Shi Yng to OCK crab meat today.
We went to Choo-B after work. Siew Foon wanted to buy an anklet. 3 for $10. I didn't see anything i like, so we dropped off the idea.
9 April 2007
It was raining when i stepped outside. So i quickly ran to the bus stop and waited for the bus.
It was raining heavily when i reached my stop. And guess what. I dropped the CD player when i alighted. Damn it dropped directly into a HUGE puddle of water. What the... I really didn't want to get a scolding from my brother.
I took the overhead bridge to the opposite side of the road. There is a linkway to the MRT station. But it didn't serve much. Rain splashed at all who passed through it. I got pretty wet. The ground was soaked with water. Rainwater gushed into my shoes. The linkway was crowded with people. Jammed. So, for fear of being late, i stepped away from the comfort of the linkway and ran straight across to the MRT station. Damn i was thoroughly soaked.
Reached the shop in time. I was dripping. Ok. My hair was. My socks were completely wet. My pants were wet. So i took my socks and shoes off. My pants were making watery lines on the floor. Tested the CD player. It's fine. Phew. The water didn't even get inside.
Siew Foon was off today. But Shi Yng said she had came earlier today.
Then she came again. Bought a necklace from Isetan. Shi Yng wants it too. So i told her she wants stuff other people have. Like, yesterday, SF bought a top, and she wanted it too.
During break time, i went to the first floor and realised that there was a FILA sale. So i went in between the mobbing aunties and got a shoe bag, sling bag and shorts(i got it thereafter). And i was there lugging a big pastic bag-ful of Fila stuff around with me. Didn't want to go back to the shop. Went to Baleno to change some sizes. Had fish porridge at Eastlink. Shopped around the bus interchange area. Tried on some stuff but didn't buy anything.
Went back, exceeding my 45-mins break time. I always do that. I'M LEAVIING!
Spent the day writing out song lyrics.
Snooped to Choo-B. Saw something i like which i didn't took an interest to yesterday.
OH MY GOD! I can't believe it! Five days. Oh yeah. YAY!
The long-awaited day. I wonder how i'll feel on that day.

Sear
Yesterday, there was a weird customer. I had seen her before, and i remembered she was a difficult customer. And she was. She kept saying,"This one fifty percent ah? But still twenty something leh" and asked if there were new pieces for everything she tried. In the end she bought $70++. What the... *TOOT*!
Reported for work at 11.30am today.
Customer traffic was terribly little, considering it was a Saturday. I guess everyone had flocked to the great sale at Isetan. Four days, starting from yesterday. Even i went there too to check out stuff. Hahaha.
I discovered there were a lot of nice caps at Xcraft yeaterday. Gonna make a trip there sometime.
Then Shi Yng served this customer, who tried a lot, and got a lot of new pieces to try. She wanted to buy two pieces, but in the end she only bought a piece of knitwear(dresses and office wear are more profitable =>). Somehow she found a problem with the blouse. ~_~"
Break time. Bought something at Baleno. (Baleno and Hang Ten were fighting next to each other.) Then i went to NTUC to buy mineral water for Siew Foon. Cheapest, plus offer. Sixty-five cents. Hahaha. Got a copy of I-weekly.
Went back and read magazines. As i flipped the pages the smoking ad appeared again. Ooh... Hahaha. Shi Yng was damn disapproving of the picture.
Droned through the day.
List of things i did in the shop to kill time:
1. Meow-ed.
2. Laid down on the table. (my head only)
3. Tried to touch my outstretched hand with my toes. Gymnastics. Haha. I did it! YAY!
4. Scaring Shi Yng with the female 'ghost', as she calls it.
5. Ka jiao-ing customers' babies.
Siew Foon called yesterday night(she left early) to tell us that she saw handsome guys on her way home. They were some sort of a band. Nobody bothered to go. So today, we decided to go to the flea market, and, if possible, check out that guy SF was talking about. (I had no idea where a flea market could be set up in Tampines.) And SF wanted to get earrings.
Ok. So Shi Yng knocked off at 9.30pm today. I thought she would go home with her boyfriend, but she came back at 10pm later. So the four of us made our way to the flea market. So it was just opposite TM, along a stretch of pathway just below the aerial train tracks. There wasn't any band performance when we reached. Most of the stalls were owned by Malays.We walked along, and i got a pair of rings(they were supposed to be couple rings, HAHA, but i got both for myself). Ok so now i have three rings on my fingers. Shi Yng and her boyfriend got a pair, and a somewhat keychain with squishy-mushy stuff inside a layer of plastic. SF payed for me cause i didn' have cash left.
It was just a short stretch. So i said bye and made my way back to TM. Just when i was crossing the road, I saw a familiar face. She's pint-sized, skinny, tiny. SUET LING. Damn she really had her hair done. I saw her. It was obviously her. I could recognise her. But it seemed like she didn't see me at all. It must be she's too distracted to notice me, or she's just pretending she didn't see me to save all the trouble. Whatever. But i think it's the latter. I mean, it's so obvious. I'm wearing the Dano uniform and it's not like a dark alley or something. I managed to steal a glance back and see what has become of her hair. Ok. It's so dolly. Big hair for a small person. Hahaha.
I realised people were still queuing up at Sweetalk. So i went to join in the queue. I was real thirsty. Then the China girl came out and made an 'announcement'. She told a guy behind me(perhaps cause i'm a regular customer) to stop queuing, because they were closing soon, at 10.40pm. She told everyone that we could continue to queue if we thought we would reach the front by 10.40pm, but any orders after 10.40pm would be rejected and it won't be their fault. Next moment, I turned around and saw everone gone except that blue shirt guy. Reached the front, but somehow the others went to wash up, and the China girl took the guy's order first. She told him that he was very stubborn That guy just replied,"It's not 10.40pm yet mah" Hahaha. Ordered. Hurray! I'm the last customer of the day for 'em! YIPPEE! That's an honour.
Waited for the bus. It came, but not after i finished my drink. There weres till some pearls left. So i took it up the bus. C-R-A-M-M-E-D. I knew it, judging by the number of people at the bus stop. One woman had to stand on the steps. Shifted, crammed, squeezed. Alighted at my stop. Gotta buy Ramly burger for my brother. And i ordered. Then I was like, "Oh shit!" i double-checked, and there sure was nothing in my wallet except for a few coins. So i hurriedly told the vendor,"Sorry aunite, I don't want it anymore" Shudder. I called my brother and he volunteered to throw down the money. Bullshit.
Oh. And I saw the smoking ad again. There was a poster of it pasted on the noticeboard of the lift lobby of my block.
In the end my papa and mama takeaway 豆浆油条 for us. Yummy.
Still have yet to check out the entry fare for the Euro funfair as i'd promised Shi Yng to.
Laaalaaalaaalaaa... One full week. Just.

Do you think?
Do you think
That i think
Too much?
So much
That nobody can take it.
It's in the middle
The night.
I'm not sleeping
Not so soon.
I want to
Keep on thinking.
Cause i've nothing else
Got nothing else to do.
Do you think
I think especially
A lot
At night?
In the middle
Of the night?
I think I do.
And so do you.

A lot
At night?

Of the night?
I think I do.
And so do you.
Many
I can't comprehend
This whole lot.
Loads of stufff.
What is enough
In this vast world
This civilisation?
How many emotions
Do we have?
How many faces
Can we make?
Why is it
That there are so many
Many beautiful places
On this planet?
That i wonder
If i could
See them all.
Is there life on Mars?
Could i take a look
In a spaceship
Or something
With you?
Is there another of me
Out there?
Somewhere?
There could be
Someone similar.
But not exactly
The same.
What is your
True self?
The purpose
Of life?
Think about it.
Tell me.
Cause i don't know why.

Someone
Who's the worst
In this world?
You always say
There's someone
Worse than you.
I need to know.
The one
Down with disease
Or the one
Stricken ill.
You're pitiful.
But there's always
Someone more.
Someone from a
Third world country.
Someone who has
Nothing.
There's a someone
Out there.
Who needs it more
Than i or you.

Forgetting
Everything changes.
Things that i used to do
Used to say.
I forgot how to.
Routines that once
Ruled my life.
I've forgotten
All gone away.
Changed.
Everything.
No longer the same.
Nothing.
But somehow.
I remember those.
Good old days.
All the good stuff.
Nothing about exams.
That's enough.
And there's
More to come.
Cause I'm
Still growing
On and on.

Stuff I Do
It feels like
I'm walking down
Memory lane.
Time doesn't wait
For you.
It flies.
It zooms past.
No allowance.
I wasted
A lot of time
Two years
Is it even enough?
Images come and go.
I'm visiting my teacher
During Chinese New Year.
I'm at my friend's house
Doing project work.
I'm feeding the stray cats
With the leftover dinner.
I'm moving house
I'm rearing mouse.
This song.
Played on the car.
Papa says it keeps him awake.
Mama says it's a
Crazy song.
But all these
Seems so yesterday.
I heard it
Just yesterday.
I'm sleeping in class.
Primary School
Past
To Secondary school
Playing truant
Stuff i do.
Getting results
To where i am now.
They're all
So vivid.
So real.
I can't wash them away.
I can't.
I won't.

Say It Out
Sometimes
We aren't exactly
Truthful to each other.
Cause
There are always
Some barriers
Restrictions
Which makes it hard
To say it out.
So i hope
That someday
One day
We would be
True to you and me
The truth
No longer hidden.
Stuff
We would mention.
Which we didn't dared to.
One day.
It's so much better
That way.

Learning
I think
I really have to learn to
Let go.
Cause i
I make someone
Out to be a bad person
When he's not.
It's all in my thoughts.
And it's
Not his fault.
Don't think so much
So deeply.
And maybe
I'll do better.
I'll not
Be so intense.
Be so critical.
And try to let go.
Maybe then
We'll be able
To communicate
In a mutual way
Yes.
We may.

Resignation
Bought a pedicure file before work. I found out that the pumice stone isn't enough to get rid of the accumulated layers of hard skin. So i decided to get a more powerful weapon to administer the treatment. Haha. (And yeah, i'm scraping my feet right now.)
Shi Yng told me that she heard from the others that the big boss(and ladyboss) isn't so stingy. Just that someone is doing something behind his/their back.
I went for lunch at 3.45pm. Just at the traffic light, where there are boards to cover up the constuction site, there was quite a commotion. There was a rat near one of the boards. Actually it was a soft toy. Hahaha. Aunties and students alike thought it was real. Anyway i snapped a photo and continued on my way.
I was walking past the MRT station, at SK Jewellery, when an Indian woman approached me. They were doing a survey on sportswear. So, being kind and always willing to help, I went for it. She said it would take ten minutes, and asked me if i was in a rush, cause she was scared i would run away halfway through. The questions were about the same, asking preferences over sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Converse, Ascis, Reebok etc. My choices were mostly Adidas, Nike, Converse or New Balance. The questions were repetitive. The person got tired too. So she just tikam-ed some of the questions. I got to know that they were for a survey company. She told me to tell her supersvisor/boss that i'm 20 years old should he/she comes. Haha. Blah, blah, blah. Finally finished it. Got a small gift which is some kinda weird contraption. I was the fourth on her list. She said not to write down my IC cause that would reveal my age. Aiyo.
Then i made my way to Eastlink, not before hearing someone call out my name. I was feeling warm and blur then, so i didn't respond. But i found the voice familiar. So i turned around. Rohana. Didn't expect that she had the guts to come back. I wasn't mean to her. In fact i as quite friendly. Maybe it's because i partly instigated her not to work at Dano anymore. Ha. She handed me a plastic bag, saying the shop keys and her uniform are inside. She asked me to pass the (washed, she claimed)uniform, together with the one in the shop, to Jason. So i took the opportunity to find out what she've been up too.
Me: So you are on the three-thousand job now?
R: No lah, factory.
Me: Oh. Then you don't want to take your things at the shop?
R: No lah. Nothing what.
Me: Your biscuits lah. (I didn't tell her she still had her shoes and pants at Dano cause we had threw her shoes away during that day we did spring-cleaning)
I could see her twin sister smiling. (As usual she was pusing the pram.)
R: You eat lah. I don't want...
Me: Ok. Bye.
R: Bye.
Then i went to have fish porridge. Rushed. Not enough time. Bought bubble tea for Siew Foon and went back to Dano.
(The rat was no longer there, I think.)
Threw away Rohana's pants. And biscuits. Her clothes were starting to smell. Stuffed the other piece of uniform into the plastic bag. Shall have it sent back to the office.
Shi Yng left at 4.30pm today.
Siew Foon said office called to tell us that new stock would be coming in tomorrow.
Meanwhile, seeing that they were few customers, I went to 'repair' my pants. There was a lil whole near the zip. So i found a pair of black pants(thank goodness Dano sells office wear) and changed out of mine. Began to sew up the gap. Ok done. Went to change into it, but realise i can't get the zip up. So i had to change back to Dano's again. Shit. I've got a piece of string on the zipper. So i took out the string i'd just sow onto the pants and did it all over again.
And who knows. Gladys suddenly floated into the top part of my field of vision. I was sitting there, my right leg on top of my left one and shaking it. Sewing my pants. She asked me why I was sewing and whose pants it was. I said it was torn, and it's mine. Then she started blah-ing that i should be doing sales, instead of sitting here and sewing stuff. She asked for yesterday sales and was not happy to hear that it was six hundred plus. No customers what, I told her. Then she was saying there were customers when she was here yesterday. Then i just started to laugh. I find all of these so hilarious. I'm sewing my own pants at my workplace. HAHAHA. So i quickly finished up and changed back to my own pants.
Hohoho. Luckily we didn't change disc.
She went to change the clothes on the mannequins, but couldn't find anything that fits.
Personally, her creation doesn't get my vote. Not my style.
Gladys reminded us that driver won't be working tomorrow. Good Friday. Which means we won't get new stock tomorrow. Dammit.
She then took her bag with her and went to walk around. YAY! Finally gone, I thought. Then i went to change water. Went to the toilet. I came out of the cubicle and saw GLADYS again. Damn. She asked me something about a customer.
Then she came back again. A guy came to pick her up.
YAY! No more false alarm(s). So dead tired. Did newspaper cuttings till 2am yesterday night.
Sales was quite good today. Hit a thousand plus.
Siew Foon said that she learnt a lot of stuff at Amk. Learnt a lot from the veteran auntie who had worked at Dano for six years. Gossip and stuff. HQ people are hideous. Treat you well, but stab you in the back. Good that i'm leaving soon.
Some people are just don't have a real face.
Nine is the magic word. =)

Quest
4 April 2007
Siew Foon's off today.
Actually Shi Yng's a really nice girl. It may be that incident which made me detest her, made me hostile to her. But I just take it too seriously. I just think too much. Many people are actually not so detestable when you don't think so deeply into it. I guess that's why so many people in the world can't get along with one another. Maybe everyone should learn to let go.
Anyway.
Shi Yng told me Jason would be dropping in later. She just happened to 'receive information' from the HQ people. Hahaha.
Someone came in to interview. Vietnamese girl. She filled up the form. Expected salary: $1200. She has job experience. Her salary was like, $1100-1200 for her past few jobs. We told her to walk around in the mall while waiting for Jason to come. So she went.
I took a peek at the application forms. (Actually they were laid out generously on the table.) There was one applicant from TP and she said that she would be able to work till 23rd April. Who would want to recruit her?
I was sitting on the chair behind the counter when a man entered the shop and went into the storeroom. Oops. Jason. Why am i always caught doing something wrong in front of the HQ people? MUHAHA.
He was wearing a (bright) red shirt. And as usual, he didn't button the first few of the buttons on his shirt. G-R-O-S-S. He's always like that. The first time i saw him was at the interview. I hated him since Day 1. Hahaha.
Anyway it's been a long time since i last saw him. He was here once or twice since I was working at TM. But he hadn't been here recently. I asked Shi Yng if she chatted to him in the past when he was here. She said yes, but now, not anymore. It must be the bonus thing. And Jason asks her to settle all the problems herself nowadays. Siew Foon suggested that it's cos SY's leaving soon. End of May.
Jason left his laptop in the storeroom. I called the Vietnamese to come back to the shop. Jason brought her outside the shop for a chat. Then somehow the application got back to the table(Jason brought it out for the interview) and i KPO and read it. The '$1200' was striked out, with '1100' written in black in. Obviously Jason's handwriting. Dammit. I only $900 leh.
I contacted two Malaysian girls who had came to fill in the forms earlier. They said they were in Kallang and would take half an hour to reach here. Ok.
Jason went away. I guessed he went to McD to use free internet. HAHA. The two Malaysians finally came, like one-and-a-half-hour later. I had even went for my break! (BTW i bought a pumice today. Got a layer of hard skin on my heels since working at Dano) One woman came first, asking me if the two girls who had been here earlier for the interview had left. I said yes, then she went away. I thought she was asking me for the morning part. Then the real McCoys came. Called Jason. He asked me to tell them to find him at McD, just opposite The Body Shop. SInce the Malaysians were like blur-blur, I brought them to him. I am so gracious and helpful right?
Jason came back later, with no signs of the application forms. I wonder how much salary would be given to them. He brought in his laptop, but they was no sign of it anywhere in the storeroom. Hmm. Very peculiar.
Once Jason entered the shop when i was eating beehoon at the counter. Shi Yng explained it was because the store was stuffy. He understood. But i didn't dare to eat in front of him. Served customers in between mouthfuls.
Meanwhile, the people at Blush! changed the clothes on their mannequins. It was... very unprofessional, i should say. The one in the middle has a silky cardigan slipping off her arms. The staff are, like, trying to make her look sexy. And the hot pants are like printed with cutesy, coulourful cartoons. Oh my goodness. Sheer torture. It's not beneficial to their sales.
Later another girl came in. Very student-like and demure. I think she filled in the application form two days eariler. All of us were at the counter. Jason was telling her stuff about the job. Then suddenly Shi Yng asked me how much my salary was. I turned around and said,"Nine hundred lah". Jason asked the girl,"Can?" The girl agreed, and was told to report for work on Tuesday. Then Jason mentioned something about six off days, then suddenly turned towars Shi Yng and told her,"Oh you haven't heard of it hor?" Then he continued babbling stuff to the girl.
I went inside the store to check stock, and found out that Jason had stashed his laptop in the shelf. -_-"
Later Shi Yng asked him what he was talking about earlier. Jason then BRAGGED about the various changes that will be made to the company policy. He said that he needed to do something, cause everyone is running away from Dano. Hahaha. Serve you right.
1. Six off days per month, including one Sunday. So the staff will get 1 day off for the first week, 2 days off for the second week including a Sunday, 1 day for the third week, and two for the fourth week.
Jason mentioned something about keeping in competition with other comapnies. I barged in and commented,"Yah lah. Other companies let you have at least one weekend off"
2. Comission regardless of whether you've hit your personal target/shop target. 0.5% comission. So it means you'll get comission any-oh-how.
3. 55.5 hours a week-----> 47 hours a week. Damn you. And there're the shifts of 2pm-10pm and 11am-8pm. They should have done this earlier!
4. New uniforms. (Oh yeah. I forgot to suggest to him that we houd be allowed to keep our uniforms, like Fashion Lab.)
5. Increased salary, up to $200 increase.
All these changes will be made in MAY. Damn. And guess what. They are throwing out all the clothes and bringing in new ones on 15 April. Me quitting on: 14 April. Damn you fuckers from Dano.
My pay is only $900. Won't affect me much anyway. I'm not confirmed stuff. Just not very pleased about the working hours stuff.
I seriously suspect someone from headquarters is reading my blog. HAHAHA.
Dano finally has the graciousness of what a big firm with 14 outlets islandwide should have. But it still remains to be seen.
He left shortly after. YAY! Rest time.
Jason looks stupid, but he's using money to keep Shi Yng and the others. Scheming bastards.
I was sitting behind the counter again, when Gladys poopped out again. Dammit. I forgot what i was doing, but it must be something unsightly. Hahaha.
Luckily Shi Yng brought her own cd to play. It was in English. Phew.
Thereafter Gladys requested for plastic stands. Gave it to her. Don't know what she's up to.
I wanted to take out new stock from the store, then i saw her taking merchandising photos. Propped up two small bags against the plastic stand. She was taking pictures with her digital camera.
Then she was asking for batteries. None. Only the remote control's which are too small.
Finally finally finally she went off. Time a well-deserved break. HAHAHA.
I sacrificed my youth.
I sacrificed my beautiful feet.
I sacrificed my TV.
Finally i will be released.
In 10 days.
Siew Foon's off today.
Actually Shi Yng's a really nice girl. It may be that incident which made me detest her, made me hostile to her. But I just take it too seriously. I just think too much. Many people are actually not so detestable when you don't think so deeply into it. I guess that's why so many people in the world can't get along with one another. Maybe everyone should learn to let go.
Anyway.
Shi Yng told me Jason would be dropping in later. She just happened to 'receive information' from the HQ people. Hahaha.
Someone came in to interview. Vietnamese girl. She filled up the form. Expected salary: $1200. She has job experience. Her salary was like, $1100-1200 for her past few jobs. We told her to walk around in the mall while waiting for Jason to come. So she went.
I took a peek at the application forms. (Actually they were laid out generously on the table.) There was one applicant from TP and she said that she would be able to work till 23rd April. Who would want to recruit her?
I was sitting on the chair behind the counter when a man entered the shop and went into the storeroom. Oops. Jason. Why am i always caught doing something wrong in front of the HQ people? MUHAHA.
He was wearing a (bright) red shirt. And as usual, he didn't button the first few of the buttons on his shirt. G-R-O-S-S. He's always like that. The first time i saw him was at the interview. I hated him since Day 1. Hahaha.

Piece of Chicken
Wore the pointy back patents to work today. The previous pair had one with a gaping hole at the front. Very cooling. Haha. I was so worried i couldn't chase after the bus in this get-up.
Got up early to go to 77th Street at CP. Received my GetALife! Card yesterday. So i went to add Street Dollars to my card today.
Using the CD player today. Finally found new batteries. My mama had hidden them somewhere. Haha. And i discovered that the CD player could work with the long-wired earphones i bought for the mp3 player after the original pair broke. Great.
Took the bus. Bought an ultra-bling ring at Montip. Went to Silvera, Century Square to collect my ring. I somehow didn't bring along the receipt, but got it anyway. My name was engraved on the inner side of the ring. Yippee!
Shi Yng's off today. So it's me and Siew Foon. There was barely any customers in the shop. Siew Foon went to the bank.
Chatted about SF's love life. Haha. I'm so KPO.
She went to buy lunch. Shi Yng called. Then she was grousing to me that she's bored. So i said,"My problem ah?" Yeah. I know it's rude, but hearing her voice makes me grumpy. Can't help it. Then she started to tell me how disgusting her bf's sister's bf's brother was. Ok. Lemme do an intro. This guy(Let's call him A) had a tiff with his father and moved in with his elder brother. So he sleeps in the living room, wearing short HOT pants even though he's rounder than your average guy.
Ok. So Shi Yng's always telling me stories about him and complaining what a sucker he is. So today Shi Yng saw something gross about A, and she was frightened to go out to the living room to watch tv and stuff. So i told her to go out and take a walk. She said it was boring to go out alone. Ok. So just sleep lah. She said she just woke up. So there's nothing left for her to do right? There's nothing i can do to help, either. So i just kept quiet hoping she would say 'bye', and she did. Yay. Tormentous.
Went for my break. I felt like i was progressing very slowly with the pointy shoes. I was slipping 2cm back while walking forward for 10cm.
I had this 'Teriyaki Chicken Noodles' from Cavana. Oh please. It's an imitation of Wanton Noodles! HAHAHA. Doesn't taste nice anyway.
Chatted on the phone with my brothers. Just to while my time away while disturbing them.
Read my storybook. Getting exciting right now.
Oh yes. I did manage to chase after the bus.
No Ramly burgers today. Hahahaha.
MUHAHAHAHA. It's all over in 10 days!

Opulence
MY DAY OFF! (I recently found out from the Sunday Times that 'off day' doesn't refer to the day you have your day off. Check the dict for more info. =>) Finally.
First stop. I went to have lunch at Sin Ming Road with my family. YAY! Long time no eat porridge. HAHAHA. It's delicious! As always. =)
Then my mother mentioned about me going for driving lessons. WHAT? I was shocked. I thought you could only take driving lessons or go for license examinations when you're, like, 18? My papa and mama said that you can, when you are above 16. I was so EXCITED! Driving! For real! No more Daytona races! HAHA! But my mother called to ask her driving coach anyway, for assurance. Nah. 18 is the minimum age. Poof. I knew it. I mean, this is Singapore, okay? How i wish i would get an Alpha Spider(my lil' bro told me about it. it's black and has red seats. cool!) for my seventeenth birthday. Go on a road trip with my friends. Ok... back to topic.
And so we chatted about cars and license plates.
Then we drove to this International Business Park at Juring. I wanted to get the mp3 player repaired. I am absolutely dying without music to accompany me on the bus. Ok. So i took a queue number. Waited and waited. My lil' bro and i went to check out the gadgets on display. He was playing Heli Attack on one of the desktops. I went to fumble with this Podcast, where you can slot your mp3/4 player into it, connect the podcast to your tv, and play music and videos from your player on the tv. I went to play Jay Chou's music videos, and later pressed 'Play' on some music clips. Good quality. Haha.
My phone rang. My mama. So i ran across the carpeted ground. Got my mp3 player to the service counter. The person switched on the player, took out the battery, plugged some stuff into the USB port. And... It will cost $299 to repair it cause the motherboard or whatever board(he said 电子板)is damaged, and since they are no longer producing this model, it costs much more. Somemore the warranty is oh-so-over. Sobs.
So we went off and set off to Ang Mo Kio. Got my haircut, FINALLY! My brother went first, and ran off after his haircut. My turn. Layer, layer, and layer. (I'm keeping my hair long. Takes, like, forever...) The hairdresser even asked me if the weight on my head feels lighter. Haha. Whole clumps of MY hair(brown+black+blonde colour) went on the floor. I guess my hair doesn't look so much like stray hay anymore.
Went down to the temple for a while. There was a new dog in the house. Jacky, brought here because his owner didn't want him anymore after he/she had moved from a private housing to a condo. He's just so small-sized, ok? He reminds my of my little baby darling hamster. Haha. Jacky's adorable, somehow. He's always jumping up and down and holding his turtle soft toy in his mouth. Ah boy(the dog who's been here since he was a baby) has got some companion now.
After that i took bus 262 to AMK MRT interchange. AMK Hub is mostly fully furbished roight now. Gotta make a trip there sometime. I have discount coupons! Ha! Then i took the MRT to Dhoby Ghaut, and changed to NE line. Alighted at Harbourfront. Somehow i stumbled to Harbourfront Centre. But i didn't go there anyway. Actually i wanted to go to Dano, to see Suet Ling's NEW hairstyle. But... no time to lose. So. Bought three magazines. Seventeen(USA) and Jane. They didn't have Arena with Avril on it anymore. One magazine shop had, but it was $17++. HMV had it cheaper. So i took the MRt to Somerset(on the way what). Went to HMV. Damn they had a better version of Under My Skin, with Music Videos. $33. Dammit. Why didn't they put it out earlier? Shit. So i got Arena, which is 'Unsuitable for the Young', and made my way back to Amk, through the squeezy train and the empty bus. The Seventeen magazine is torn! Dammit. Whatever. It's cheaper than those sold at HMV.
We took Jacky out for a walk. He doesn't bite. He's so docile. He knows commands. He's really happy. We're happy too. (But my brother complained that he didn't get to roller-blade cause i went out.) We took him back and went for dinner. Yummy. Fish Head Steamboat. I LOVE STEAMED FISH! Hahaha.
Went home.
We got F.O.U.R. Ramly burgers today(my mama wanted to try and we got another one for my big bro, who's at home, presumbly sleeping) and smelly beancurd. Haha.
Incoming letter from TP again. Dammit. This time it was from the Finance-and-blah department. They said i haven't submitted the hard copy of my online CPF application. Yeah, right. It's more likely you dirtied it. I submitted it ok. I checked and double-checked and triple-checked before dropping in the envelope, you bastard.
I gonna call them and ask and question and quiz them about it. Damn.
I was waiting my hair to dry and so i took out the newspaper to read. Flipped through the main page. Went on to 'Home'. Got a shock. Think shocking kind of shock. The quit smoking ad, remember? Ok, so they've got it on tv(I haven't see it, though), on the boards at the bus stops, and now on newspaper. The newspaper one is by far the most horrifying. So everything's in black and white, except for the lips. Oh my GOSH. Maybe because it's the night. But... great ad, man. Good job. It scared the wits out of me that i would never dare to touch... the newspaper at night. Wahaha. Wah, jin gia lang.
Anyway, i personally think the lips weren't very terrifying. It's the whole facial expression. The whole package. The frown, the eyes. But i applaud the person in the ad. She's really brave to do this. To show the world what smoking does to you.
Twelve more days.

NIL
I seriously forgot what happened today.
I only remembered that my family fetched me home after work today.
We digressed about the recent ads about "Quitting is hard, not quitting is harder" and the female ghost in the ad.
Then my brothers and i took a walk at the pasar malam. Bought 2 Ramly burgers.
HAHAHA.
Happy April's Fool Day!
THIRTEEN, 13, thirteen.
