I miss YOU!

Because fate allows me to meet you,
the stars in my life began to shine.
A happy smile i have on my face everyday.

It's a superman! It's an ultraman! It's thursday night! (i'm being super lame here, bleah)

Just cooked my usual maggie mee and gulped it down, though it's quite tasteless. But whatever, as long as it's edible and it can fill my stomach, i guess i shouldn't be too choosy about it.

Chatted with bestie Pekhar just now during work over MSN. It's been such a long time since we had a decent chat, and i'm glad we did, just now. Realised she bought a sweater for me yesterday when she went shopping. Thanks Girl, though i "warned" you not to buy it, but you still did. That was a very sweet thought. Of course, kept telling her that i wished she can faster come back, so that we can be our usual besties, shopping & hanging around.

Anyway, i have gotten my new timetable for the new semester. I'll be in the same class with Jean dearie! Of course, were so happy when she helped me check my timetable yesterday that i shouted in joy on the overhead bridge during my way back home from tuition with Janelle. My timetable is basically still alright, for me at least. Mon and Tues 11-4am while Wed & Fri is 9-5pm. But i'm gonna be so lonely during International Business Module since Jean ain't taking that module. Really hope my new classmates will be great fun loving peeps! I'm in TB42 btw and my tutor for IB is Phillip Lau who was my HRM tutor, it's such a coincidence.

Work was alright today, except i din know the purpose of my existence in the company, perhaps to increase the usage of their internet. I feel like a rat trapped ina cage under strict supervision. The General Manager, supervisor is always walking past us to monitor us and to track what we are doing. It's super irritating. I even followed the GM to see where he's going after passing us by at our area, and so it seems he's going to the Finance dept to do something. The other time i actually caught him passing us by and then returning to his own area. SICKENING right? His nickname is "Gui MAO" whereas my other supervisor is "PO si MAO".

My testimony has to be send to Sabrina by tomorrow. I'll edit tomorrow at work. =)

I wish upon a star.

Tuesday, April 26, 2005

Today was basically alright, a bad start to the day though. And it has been bothering me for the whole of today. Let's not talk about it. Even as i think about it, it's starting to really bother me alright.

Had a full day of sai kang jobs again. Even provided free labour to move all the sponsorship gifts from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, with the help of 2 trolleys. Sponsorship gifts for the family day includes stuffs like karaoke home system, some wrapped up gifts, handphones etc etc etc. And YES, we were foolin around again durring the journey from 3rd to 4th floor.

The whole of 4th floor is EMPTY! And it was pitch dark, no lights no aircon no nothing. And it looked like some abandoned storeroom. But well, Linda helped us to switch on the lights, and even as i walk through the pathway, i can even feel the hairs on my back standing. I insisted on pushing the trolley while Chen Yian walked beside me and Regina like some security guard. Chen Yian keep saying people will think he's bullying me.

Regina hides her digital camera inside her jacket and we took photos (YES again!) on the 4th floor, with stupid poses and all. Will post them up once i receive the pictures of course. But i guess i'll probably be ages before i received them since i also haven't managed to transfer all the pictures and videos me and Regina took from my handphone to laptop. Perhaps tomorrow. Not today. Dead tired. But well, i'm tired everyday.

Yawned especially a lot today and Tommy kept asking me to stop yawning. For goodness sake, Yawning has become part of my life. I mean, i really yawn a lot. Pekhar can testify for me. I yawn all day long, when i'm shopping, when i'm watching a movie, when i'm eating etc etc etc. Ya~HoOoOo! Yawning is my new found hobby!

Manages to chat with Pekhar just now. Now i know why she doesn't reply to my msn messages. She couldn't see people's messages for her unless she clicks on that person. Think there's some problem with the msn over there. But guess what, this idiotic sis of mine wanted to buy me a sweater saying there's some sale over there. But well, sista, please don't. It's such a waste of money, would rather i treat you to something nice when you come back yeah? Thanks for the sweet thought. But i got a feeling she's gonna bring back the sweater anyway despite my many objections.

Looks like she's definately having fun over there, trips to France and Switzerland. Yahoo! Jean Wee, please don't forget our trip to Hongkong yeaps? We gotta do some serious planning babe. But well, i guess it's still long before we go. *schmiles* Anyway, please do not hesitate to call me when you feel like talking yea? I repeat again, DO NOT HESITATE my dear girl even though it's 4am in the morning. I won't scream at you for wakin me up, i won't bite you, i'll listen to all your woes and be your lil listening ear! *lols* I just want to be there for ya, honey. *hugs*

It's the 4th week of my attachment. And to someone, thanks for making my attachment such a lovely one. I don't want attachment to end, suddenly. Awww. It's gonna be tough when the end of attachment comes. But well, looking on the brighter side, it'll be time to celebrate!

Some KTV photos.

I'll lift up my eyes.
My help comes from the LORD.
The maker of Heaven and the Earth.

Good Morning, my dear & wonderful friends.

Going for work soon. My eye is red, because i rubbed my eye vigorously on my towel.

I wanna thank all those who is so kind to help me to complete a survey yesterday through MSN. Thank you so much. :)

I have tuition tonight with Hyren & Zam. It's gonna be so tiring because the two of them are just so hyper active. Zam would shout her answer to me in her thunderbolt voice while Hyren would walk around, climb around and then tell me the grandmother story of how much money there is in his piggy bank.

I have got to rush! I'm late! I don't want to miss the co's bus!

Saturday, April 23, 2005

Aloha. Finally having some time to myself. My timetable is so packed like jam this few weeks. Besides work (which is hella taking a lot of my energy), tuition, church and meeting up with friends, i don't think i'll ever have time for other things? But well, it all takes planning.

Received a friendster message from bestie over some matters which i shan't say what. But it's just so nice to see her message! She's definately doing fine over there, so all people who might be worrying and thinking about her, don't worry ya. She's definately well taken care of by the German hunks. *grins* I'll get killed by her if she sees this when she's back.

I have a confession to make. I wanted to actually skip cell today cos i was too tired. I'm so guilty. And i'm even gladder i actually made the effort to even wake up from my nap after tuition, and rush to church. Today cell's topic was on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Learned quite a lot from it. Really glad i went for it, Great job Cindy. Btw, next week will be my turn to give my testimony on how i became a Christian. Seriously quite nervous to speak in front of them when i'm such a clumsy big elephant. Hope i don't knock over some microphone stand, guitars or projecters or whatever.

Deadline deadline, i must give myself some pressure to make myself think of what i'm gonna say!!

Just got to know of my baptism date btw. It's on 14th May, at St Andrews Cathedral. It's the day Pekhar will be coming back, the day i'll be baptised, the day Jean & Chongling & Wendy will be leaving for China for study trip. Oh gosh, i really hope i can make it this time round to send them off man. I'm gonna miss these 3 birds so much.


Went to eat the ever famous "Smelly Doufu" yesterday. Really stinks like hell, so much like the smell of sewage. But the skin is crispy and it goes well with the chilli. So after you put inside your mouth and chew, it doesn't stink anymore. Instead, it tastes quite nice! And of course, took some photos. But i'm lazy to transfer. Update the photos some other day..


Bought a handphone accessory from Janelle. Her mum sells those accessories. And whenever i send messages or i had messages/calls coming in, the light on it will light up. I like it so much though this thing had been around, and most seen in pasar malams for ages. But anyway, i just love it can? *smirks*
I think i'd better go sleep soon, really tired. But i guess i'm tired every single minute of the day, so really, it's no big deal.


I thank you Lord, for letting me see through all these uncertainties in my life. Thank you for letting me have a new focus in my life. Because of what you did on the cross for me, i'm saved and i truly am grateful to you for this Lord. Lord, i ask of you to grant me the wisdom to even handle things as they come. I pray all these in the name of my wonderful savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

aloha!

I'm over the moon.

Life is good to me. God has always been good to me.

I see even, the lamplights down the streets as something so beautiful that it sparkles and lights up the darkness in this world. The wind brushes against me, and leaves me feeling relaxed. I can see the clouds smiling and waving to me. All the uncertainties in this world suddenly disappears, leaving nothing but a trace of droplets of happiness behind its track.

After reading someone's blog, it inspired me a lot and enlightens me on certain points too. Life should be happy and cheery all year round.

KTV last night was great, managed to take some splendid photos, including a picture of me lying painfully on the couch cos i was having a bad toe cramp. It always happens when i go KTV with them. Still remembered Xiaohan's reaction the other time when i was having a bad toe cramp at her house while painting nails, and at Chinatown KTV. It was so funny. Dinner was great too, tom yam chicken ramen, superb.

Oh they went to do some hair extension onto their hair also. 1 strand = $5/$6. Lucky i was not tempted to do, if not it would meant another $5/$6 gone from my pocket. *ya~hoooOoOOo*

Work's great. Life's great. Friend's great.

Anyway i got my results. Scored B+ for all my core modules, and an A+ for PQS and sad to say, a C for UTM. Cos i din see the teacher for project discussion stuff. Irritating. Can't they just gimme a few more marks to push all my grades to A? I'm this __ close to an A. Never mind, i should be satisfied, considering my slackiness during the exam period. GPA's 3.33333/4.0, what a stupid odd number. And i'll be specialising in Human Resource Management, along with my best sista Jean Wee!

Sad to say, Siew Teng & Grace will be majoring in Service Management while Wendy, Chongling, Regina and a few others will be specialising in Marketing & Tourism. I'm happy for them, but yet at the same time, just sad to see all of us venturing into different paths. It's so expected, but i din realise all this would be happening so soon. All the fun with them, and all the motivation Grace and ST had given me.. I miss them so much..

Nway, i'm tired. Blog later. Ciaoz.

My day.

Just came back from tuition with Janelle. She brightens my day and makes me smile again!

Dad came to fetch me along with Mum, and with my 2 doggies. Very sweet of them to come pick me up although it was on the way since they were at the fish farm with the doggies earlier on. Beauty just loves sitting on my lap while Rosy loves hiding behind me. I simply adore these 2 lil sis of mine!!
Anyway, work is getting boring. I guess Patrick just assigned us some crappy tasks. For example, keying in the company's name and address of SME 1000 & 500 corporate books, which amounts to 1500 companies which we have to key in. Manually of course. And i think, we will be doing mass mailing for the rest of our attachment. But i don't mind ya? We always makes the best out of everything. We joke, we laugh, we do stupid stunts, we cheer each other up, we care for each other. And i'm sure i'm gonna miss Regina and Chen Yian when attachment ends.

Regina and myself did some video recording of ourselves, appearing and disappearing like magic. Hilarious. Video recorded until my phone became low battery. But it was fun alright, and gave us some good laugh. This attachment experience and partnership with Regina in the same department has allowed me to gain a better understanding of her personality and her as a whole. I'm glad this has actually changed my impression of Regina, for the better.

Has actually learn how to support myself using the meagre amount of tuition fees i earned. No longer takes money from my mum anymore. Though it's so TIRING at times, but well, i guess in the end, i have actually helped to lessen my mum's burden a lil. Hard times do really let a person learn. I shan't complain. God has taken care of me all the while. Thank You Lord.

Might be going for KTV sessions with my cousins tomorrow evening after work. It has been such an awful long period since i last saw them. And seriously, i do miss them lotsa. My dearest cousins who were always there for me without fail, through rain, through thunderstorms, through tornados, through sunshine. ALWAYS ALWAYS! *HUGS*

I have begun to cherish people around me a lot more.

Some feelings are better left unsaid.

It's like a freezer office over here.

Freezing to death now.

Cardigan is still not enough to keep me warm.

GB PHOTOS

Just some pictures i took when i went for Girl's Brigade at South View Primary School. The girls are lovely and cute. I love Xiaohui's looks. She looks like those goody girls with a prefect face.

Will be another 4 weeks before next session of GB starts. And nice timing indeed. Pekhar would have gotten back from her trip.













Lazy to type out the captions. But anyway, the 2nd last picture was taken when all the April babies were asked to come out so as to celebrate their birthday earlier for them.All the while, i was busy taking cakes for my girls and Xiaohui and the other girl[forgot whats her name] came to help me along. They were like my 2 monitress. So glad to see them helping me & Celine out during the games part and everything.
Tired am i, everyday without fail.

Let the tears flow.

I know i'm being boliaolistic here, but i think i'm going to switch back to blogspot since i heard friends have to sign up as members of multiply before they can even tag.

Pekhar should be at the airpot now, with Peixuan and Ella and Celine. I feel so useless, for being not able to even send her off. Just because i have this damn idiotic tuition at 8pm later.

I'm feeling so lost without my bestie around. Called her in the afternoon, it was just so nice to hear the familiar voice again. Asked her to take good care of herself and stuffs. She even msged me in the afternoon, and ask me to talk to Jean if i have any problems. So sweet. *sobs*

I'm also feeling so complicated over something. And it's making me vexed than ever. I wished this has never happened. I hate this. When can everything just stop? I feel i have just mixed up everything, and all these just isn't happening to me.
Just can feel tears warming up in my eyes. Pretty emotional today.
Let the tears flow . . . .

I have created a new journal.

http://cyndishi.multiply.com

I hate blogger.

I'm having this terrible headache which is irritating me more & more as minutes passes.
And you know what's the best part?
I don't have any Panadols left at my place and i'm not going to buy. I bet i'll faint somewhere down that drain halfway through the journey.
This is crazy.

HAI. mood in the dumps.

Coca Cola's still not so bad after all.

I'm beginning to love folding letters, cos it means crapping with Regina and Chen Yian. Listened to FM 987 & 933 during work today, and we were doing some stupid poses and singing along with the music, laughing like hell.

But it's damn tiring at the end of the day, considering the fact that we printed, folded, slotted, franked 3000 over letters to companies over the island. And of course, we franked and send out half of the mail and we got a few responses today by fax! Kin, Jed and especially Tommy was like so happy, and comparing who got the response first.

Patrick drove us out for lunch at Jurong Point today. Had lunch at Lai Lai. Initially thought it was going to be some duck rice again, but luckily it's not. I ordered Yuntun Mee, and of course all was paid by Patrick. What a nice boss! After that, they asked us to go shopping while they go smoke first. And so, Me Regina and Chen Yian went shopping OO LA LA! Bought a top during the first 10 mins of my shopping. Bought doggie bones for dogs since they went to Pet Shop to look at doggies!

Went for tuition just now. Despite the fact that my mood was down in the dumps, Janelle manages to cheer me up through her ridiculous and laugh for nothing laughter. Of course, played some word games with her to make her remember those words. Freaking 67 took half an hour to come, and i was late for 20mins. Freaking pissed.

I have been feeling rather uneasy lately. Complicated and suffocating.

Suffocated with uncertainties.

Nothing but blues

Nothing but blues.

BLUES.

blUeS.

bLuesss.

Which comes in all shapes and sizes.

Get what i mean?

Sunday, April 10, 2005

Monday blues man.

I'm gonna freaking change my blog when i'm free that is. Paragraphing errors, errors in database of skins and in publishing. You name it. I have HAD IT!

It's gonna be Monday tomorrow. And i'm so not looking forward to it. Really not looking forward to it. Never looking forward to it. Not interested to look forward to it and won't look forward to it.

I'm starting to really consider my future, if i wanted to work in an office all day long and stucked with computers for half of my life or i wanted to have a job which is more meaningful and which entitles me to help others.

My nurse dream is still not shattered. I don't know why this keeps coming back to me everytime i attempt to shake it off, and trying to convince myself that an office 9-5 job would be most suitable for me. I really should give it some serious thoughts about it before i get all panicky when i reach the time i'm about to grduate.

Was in the same lift with Pastor Tim and Auntie Joyce. They were so friendly. Seeing them lifts my mood up. I have finally passed a stage when i can enter church without people asking me and Pekhar "Is this your first time here?" I'm glad i feel comfortable in the house of the Lord, with all my sisters and brothers in the name of Christ.

Baptism class is gonna be over soon. Shu Huai, me, Celine, Peixuan, Cindy Thiong aka Cindy Tall, Shiling aka Ella and Sabrina were waiting for Si'er and Reginald for like, a long time. But we joked around, and fooled around, laughing like crazy cos Peixuan aka Rosy brought photos of Ella Tan when she was in Sec 1 or 2. *schmiles* She was real toot those days, with braces and spectacles, so funny.

Baptism topic today is on tithing and renounciation. Very interesting.

I'm so excited i'm going to be baptized soon, just sad for the fact that my best friend Pekhar might not be here to catch it since she will be flying off to Germany on the 18th April. Girl, *sobs*. Please don't cut your hair anymore, if not you won't have enuff mao to keep you warm over there. *runs for my life* Teasing each other is sure our forte. But you know i don't mean it! And you'll always be my good friend, my best friend, my sister in the name of Christ and my shopping khaki! I LOVE YOU!

Will be a while before i sleep since i just woke up from a well deserved nap not long ago. *grins* *pats myself* Haven't been getting a good rest for ages.

Jean and Chongling, i miss you two.

My Saturday.

I'm dead beat.
Woke up at 8am for tuition with Janelle. Starts at 9am. Janelle's mum's friend cooked macoroni for me with milk tea. So nice of them to always prepare something for me whenever i go. Philippinos are good hosts!
Almost lost my patience with Janelle, she was like shuffling here and there. And walking here and there. I had to raise my voice to make her sit quietly on the chair. But well, i think she got 100 marks for her spelling. So proud of her. But not sure if she's trying to be funny or what, she claims that she forgets to bring her spelling notes. It has happened for 2 times previously. Luckily she did not "forget" to bring her spelling notes today, if not, i'll sure bang my head against the wall.
Ran through the spelling words a few times. And she got it right. Partly because i had made her write all those words before when i just started teaching her. So it has been kind of carved onto her memory. I'm so glad that she actually manages to find these words easy compared to the lil girl who din even know how to write her chinese name in the past. *phew*
I'm kind of guilty that i missed for Girls Brigade today at South View Primary School. Supposed to play games with these primary school girls today, but Janelle's mum had to change the timing to 9am today. Had no choice since GB starts at 8am. Btw, South View Primary School was my primary school. I wonder if all those teachers are still around, like Miss Teo and Mrs Woo(Folk Dance teachers in charge), Miss Lee Hong Lim(Form teacher of 6G), Mr Huang(Chinese teacher).
Anyway, i think i'm joining this ministry which is serving the Girls Brigade of SVPS which is basically a Christian CCA. I heard from Peixuan we will be doing foot drills the next saturday with the girls and still not really sure of our duties scope. Celine will be joining as well! Really glad. Girl, you can come and stay at my house the day before. Travelling from Tampines to CCK is really quite a distance i understand. I welcome you with open arms! *grins*
Went back home after tuition and chatted with Mum. Mum went to work while i went for hair treatment at my favourite salon. Really a funny sight you should see, with a towel wrapped around my forehead like those "protestants" and with my head inside the steamer or whatever you call it. Stayed in the same position for 45mins i think. Finally had my hair washed. Hair definately feels smoother and softer after that. But the auntie blowed dry my hair until i looked like some idiot from who just stepped out of the 70's time machine.
I really felt like a total idiot. My hair was so huge like a candy floss to an extent i wanted to even try, digging a hole in the ground to hide my head. But anyway, i did not. I ran all the way back home and gave myself time to accept the fact. Tried various ways to make the candly floss smaller which incds tie-ing my hair, lying on the bed. Definately shrank after that which makes me go *phew*.
Anyway today's cell was combined tertiary cell. A revision of the 5 chapters we had learned. Our group got 42 marks i think, with the help of Celine and Cindy Part 1 (Cindy Thiong) and WeiQiang. I din help much btw. -_-"" Will try harder next time. Ella's group got the highest of 91 marks. Denny was sitting beside me, and i noticed he sure can eat a lot of sweets! Master Degree in eating sweets.
Ella shared her testimony of how she became a Christian and what was her life before and after she became a Christian today. I think it will be me and Pekhar's turn soon. It's like presenting, without the part of formal wear. I'm so nervous. hur hur. I hope i'm disciplined enough to actually prepare my testimony tomorrow and hopefully, send it to Sabrina by tomorrow night if possible since i don't have much time already during the weekdays.
Monday blues will become blue-ier since i'll be having tuition with Hyren and Zam at 8pm after work. I'll be so tired. But never mind, i have got to bear with it! I'm sure i'll be perked up at least a lil after seeing the kids. It's definately worth it though it's quite energy consuming to "scream" at them to get back to their seats and stop talking to me about whatever toys they wanted me to buy for them.
I'm so glad my daddy holds a job now. Doing data entry for him every alternate days after work the past week. But i don't mind and i'm not going to complain because i'm in fact enjoying since all of us(family members) puts in effort to try to complete it. My brother is helping with the data entry too. My daddy drove me to tuition since it was raining the previous wednesday and came to fetch me back. So sweet. He's driving his company van which is definately nice to sit in! And he has got his taxi license already!
I believe God has not forsaken me or shortchange me of anything. And this has proven that my prayers did work and God has even been guiding my daddy back onto the right track. Lord, i pray that you can even speak to my father and all those around me who has not come to know you yet. I pray for the salvation of the many lost souls who has not come to actually know the Father yet. I pray that their hearts will be open, and that they may even come to know that you are the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through you Jesus. I hope that they may even try to pray to you though they are non Christians. I give praise to you Lord for what you have done in my life, for all the blessings that you have placed in my life. Lord, thank you for letting me see that all the blessings you have given me are all my friends who are always there supporting and encouraging me. All these i pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

By this gospel you are saved,
if you hold firmly to the words i preached to you.
Otherwise you have believed in vain.
-1 Corinthians 15:2 (NIV)

Let me do a short update ya? Pekhar complained to me that she was S.I.C.K of looking at my previous entry. Anyway, your exams will be over soon so hang on ya? I know the feeling, trust me.

I think i'm online at the most weird hour of the day and that is 6.30am, before i leave to wait for the company bus at the bustop opposite Phoenix LRT station with Regina and Mun.

Completed around 6000 companies for Tommy, Jed and Kin.

Gonna try our best to print out 1000 companies each for them, and start folding 1000 letters today. At least we have something to occupy our minds, that's a relief. I know the feeling of sitting there and doing nothing too much, it's too much for me to bear.

Anyway yesterday, i mistook those "po li veggie" as meat. And when i sat down at our canteen table, i realised i have no meat to eat! And since i'm a "i'm so meaty" person, can't help but to ask for some meat from Yibin. Pathetic huh? *smirks*

Anyway i told some "jokes" to Regina and Yibin and Chen Yian during lunch yesterday. And none of them laughed. "I-CHI-BAN" Feel like digging a hole to hide my head. Pekhar, i told the "i-kan-bi-lis" joke to them and they did not laugh! All your fault cos you told me this joke! *LOL* Just joking!

Guess i should get going. Update when i'm back.

2 more days before my 6 months -single days- anniversary. Time sure ZOOMS by.

5th day of work.

2nd day at work.

I have a new phobia. I'm so scared of seeing the sign "Coca Cola".
Finally there' some task assigned to us today. A really nasty temper today.
Doing mass mailing of promotional stuffs to companies. 3000 companies to be exact. And we have to personally select the companies from the list available in the database. Basing our decisions on 3 selection criterias. Rate of response will depend on our analytical skills of breaking and analysing the selection process.
Looks like we will only be completing this next week. After that, print 3000 damn letters, fold 3000 damn letters, frank 3000 damn letters and post 3000 damn letters.
Patrick will be teaching us how to negotiate contract with clients, and next week or the week after, we will be trying it out on our own. Learned about the pricing criterias and range. Quite complex for a small peanut brain like mine.
I miss working at Kurita. So much. I miss Ando San, Jasman, Uncle John and the -i have to tickle myself to laugh- jokes Wen joked about. Jasman emailed me, asking me about my current life, whether i am living it good. I miss "gossiping" with him so much. OH GOSH.
Looks like i'll have to take it in my stride, and keep my spirits up, to MAXIMISE my learning process at Coca Cola. If not, i'm sure i'm never going to make it.
Kin was like, so damn dao. Tommy was like, trying his best to talk to us. Jed was okay. Patrick was okay. Except for Kin. He was like, trying his best to play the handsome dude. Please. Just look at yourself in the mirror. I'm freaking going to die, very soon. We are working in a male enviroment, and that's what makes it boring.
Tuition's at 8pm at Hyren's place. 7.30pm for Janelle tomorrow.
I have no mood. But i have to be responsible and play my part.

1st day of work.

My first day at work was like, crap.

Basically did nothing there, except sitting down and talk. Since we were waiting for the sales executive to come and brief us about our job scope and routines. Oh by the way, i'm with the vending section of the sales department. Don't really know my actual job scope yet but hopefully, i'll have many things to occupy my time. At the very least, i won't have to keep going to the toilet and tie and re-tie my hair, to check out for reception zones. My office's really a twilight zone, i can't even find a single zone with a reception point.

Don't really see the need to bring a handphone anymore. I have absolutely no RECEPTION over there, and i can't receive any calls or messages. So don't bother calling me between the time of 8.30am - 12pm and 12pm to 530pm. I'll be somewhere outside of the boundaries of this earth where there's no reception, no handphones. *sighs*

Patrick Chan(Sales Executive) did a briefing for us, which took a long time. The exact duration, you may ask? It's three hours. 3 whole damn hours, with my butt sticked to the chair. Listening to the process of water purification, the business model, the history of F&N Coca Cola, the horizontal & vertical approach to sales, "push strategy" for ice mountains bottled mineral water, his expectations of us, process of distilled mineral and NEWater.

I was shuffling about in my seat, and sighing. But i tried to do it as low profile as possible since it was very rude i know, but i just can't help it! Just imagine yourself in my position, trying to be very discreet about my shuffling and sighing. *smirks* And showing my restless grin to my Regina and Chen Yian whenever his back was turned.

Sarah, Mun, Jason was posted to the Customer Service department which was just outside of my office. Another guy(forgot how to spell his name) was posted to the OFF-PREMISES department, not really sure what it is, but he was already helping at 7-11 today. Yunru was posted to Finance department. Me, Regina and Chen Yian(a guy from my course which i just knew today) belong to the Vending department.

At first, we thought Vending was about re-stocking the coca colas in the vending machines which basically involved some walkie talkie communication which goes like this, "Regina Regina, Zone 5 10 cans of Coca Cola NOW! Over over!" Silly of us right? But we wasn't going to do that. I think our job scope includes a lil of tele-sales, admin stuffs and going out to meet future clients. Not really sure, will update again ya?

Will be handling and printing maybe hundreds of promotion letter to companies, and doing the folding of letters. VERY INTERESTING. *schmiles* Wearing jeans and perhaps a top tomorrow to work. Patrick treated us to lunch today @ canteen. Anyway i think there are a few levels in the coca cola company. Perhaps 5-6? Will find out tomorrow. I'm @ the 2nd or 3rd floor, i think. I think i almost got lost when i was walking to the toilet. It's just like an office which is filled with mazes.

I'm quite tired now. I've got to study my water purification process notes. Patrick will be testing us on it tomorrow, to enable us to have a better understanding of the process. So we'll be able to make a better sales pitch. *sighs* Shall let the photos do the talking. *zips mouth*

Sabrina lent me this book, trying to take some creative photos with it.

Day before attachment

I'm so tired at this moment, but yet i'm still dragging myself up to try out my office wear for tomorrow. Really need to leave a good impression, if not i'm gonna be fried there for the rest of the 6 weeks.

Need to wake up super early to fix my hair, bathe and fix my face.
Meeting Regina at 645 at Bukit Panjang as her daddy is driving me and another girl who's in Banking and Finance(same attachment place) to the workplace which is at TUAS!

I hate my formal top. It has shrunk, so freaking -_-""". And my fats is going to pop out any moment so i have to keep taking deep breaths. *sweats*

Went to fetch my mum just now with my 2 doggies welcoming her. My daddy is driving a new van, which is his company's car! It's definately cooler than his current vehicle which is a KIA van. Anyway, if anyone of your daddies or friends wanna rent a KIA van, please inform me ya via cyndi_shi@yahoo.com.sg Monthly rate is negotiable and it's definately cheaper than the market rate. Vehicle is in super good condition as my daddy takes good care of his van, i can vouch for it!

Thank your in advance.
Exams is over, and i'm so freaking glad.
I'd better rush to sleep or else i'll be a panda tomorrow.
Nights everyone.
Jean Wee, being my maid, helping me clean up the mess we created while watching MSU.

We look so XINFU!

Wanted to wear this top, but decided against it as it was quite tight.

Decided on this top, much comfy and looser.

Care for the wild life.

The lives of millions of animals held captive in Chinese fur farms are characterized by extraordinary chronic suffering, before being terminated in the most violent and agonizing deaths.
I teared while watching the video of the treatment by human mankind to all those cute lil animals. Why did they treat them like this? Just because of the sake for their fur which could then be exchanged for MONEY!
All the time when i was watching the video, a question kept appearing in my mind.
"God, can't you do something to help them? Lord, can you see the sufferings that these animals are going through?"
I'm not trying to challenge God, but this concern has just been weighted on me.
I want to stop all these, help all the lil animals.
There were tears in the bear's eyes as he was laying on the ground, feeble with not a single bit of strength left. The man used a pair of scissors to pierce through his butt and cut through his fur. Blood were oozing out and i could feel the pain the animal is going through.
The man then hanged the animal onto a hook upside down and started tugging on his fur with great enormous strength. And the fur was slowly, bit by bit, pulled from the bear's body by force. And the bear was left with nothing, NOTHING, except blood covered all over its body. At this point, the bear is still not dead, feeble with breathing, but still alive.
It's then thrown into a "garbage area" where countless dead fellow bodies lay. It wanted very much to try standing up though its face was covered with blood, but fell one time, two times and three times. . . . Finally it collasped. . . .
This kind of pain is different from any break up pains or any other pains which i have experienced. But a pain which really shot through my heart, and sends streams of tears washing down my cheeks.
Please do not create demand for these fur products. Oppose it & help these lil animals.
Care for the wild life.
