Job? Future?

Actually got a lot of things forgot to say... talking about the job i'm doing now... it's like... hard labour lah... like everyday go can get cuts here and there... or broken fingernails... or arm ache... or whatever lah... then one day it set me thinking... as a part time musician... i should also take care of my hands... should i really be doing all these?! Rmb that time laoshi still got the drinks stall.. like do until his hands all bruised... Somemore one of the days Situ Baonan and Lin Huilong walked into our store... having me served them.... can u imagine one day they realised that i'm the CM of sy and i'm not taking care of my pair of hands... it could be quite weird yea.. Haha...

But for now... i'm not thinking of changing job yet... if not that time will agree to work data entry liao... so funny lor... the customer came in... ask me is it waiting for sch to start all those...then ask me want to do data entry for his company anot... say he looking for ppl to do that... lol... of cos i din agree lah... and someone saved me by presenting to him his bag he sent in for repair... Haha...

Got one day even more funny... a girl came in... think around my age... i tot is customer... then who knows is cosmetics promoter... want to promote liz carborne (did i spell correctly? the idea is there lah...) products... dotx... then a customer came to my rescue... haha... got to attend to the customer mah... then more ppl came in... think the girl wait till sian liao.. so she left.. phew... Haha..

Then i tot again... what am i going to do in future? Teach? Am i capable of doing that...? Just now saw a indirect junior of mine has her msn nick in need of a maths tutor... i wanted to approach her very much... offering myself to be one... but the next moment i thought i should be responsible for my actions... if i do that... am i sure that i can help her? Then i rmb i will be away on hol in may.. which will be sec sch's mid year... so am i supposed to put her on her own during that period... that could be quite unfair... plus.... might have trouble with the timings... so in the end i didn't cos i thought i didn't want to hai anyone... Hmm... maybe i need more time to think.. or rather... i should set myself down to think more often... I'm just not planning my life ahead enough... well.. maybe that's why i'm like that now...

Ok... going off to sleep le.. let me think in my dreams... Haha.. Nitex...

Random matters...

Recently been here more frequently yea... want to reach my 200th post soon mah... HAha.... Ya... like so long liao still haven reach there yet... dunno why... must be i not hardworking enough... lol...

Ok... Finally done all my application for uni... Hopefully can get into fass in nus... But if ntu is willing to offer me mathematical sciences... i might be confused...! Hmm... oh well... i might not even be offered both... shouldn't be too confident... just see lah... whatever i can take... but seriously... hopefully it's nus... =) Then i see another prob when applying... i think i can't apply for financial aid... How would anyone believe that i need financial aid when i'm still living in such a comfortable environment now? plus going out of the country for hol considerably frequent even when both my parents aren't working? Thanks to my dad's savings for the past 40 years... So.. the qns is... is savings good? Haha... What an irony...

Anyway... tml's going to be wenwei's last day at suntec... he will be at shaw centre from sat onwards... the good thing there is fixed hours and sunday off... unless there's some promotion or whatever... cos they dun open on sundays... and everyday is 10 to 6... so shuang right... unlike suntec... only thing is suntec commission is higher lah... and i expect quite good pay for this month... and even better for the next! Must work harder... Haha... Although not based on personal performance... but if sales for the store is better.. then the hourly pay will be higher lor... dun lookdown on an extra of 20cents per hour kae... one month will be $30 kae... ytd sis still say her staff grumble that their rise in pay is only 20 cents... stupid... better than dun have right! Haha...

Sometimes it's really difficult to guess what ppl are thinking... like in our store... u tot everything is going on nicely btwn the ppl... but it's not really the case... is it a relief for him to leave? maybe he'll learn more over the other side... and i think the other party didn't know how he felt about him... but sometimes he can really be very xiao zhang... but whatever lah... i'm just a part-timer! All i need to do go work.. enjoy my offday and collect money at the end of it... but seriously the pay is really making me stay for it... even though have to travel to somewhere that i hated in the past... suntec... haha...

Guess i've got the weekend to enjoy... will be meeting my dearest friend for the past erm... 12 years... And finally... on her birthday again... many years since i went to her house... heex... and sat.. if nothing goes wrong... will be out with mel! She was the one that asked me out... lol... thought she will always be the busy one.. =x And my off day's on wed... luckily... then i wun be late for combine... maybe i'll live with one off day for the rest of april... if i can... heex... then it means more income! =)

Well.. that's all i got to say... Nitex...

Backtracking...

Hmm... All right... back for updating... Actually am quite tired now... did full shift today... cos no other ppl except for one full time... so at least have one person to stay lor... And there's only 3 ppl working today... eric got something on... so i stayed... Somemore earlier we still bluff renjie that he will be alone for the night... HAha...

But something bad happened today... soon after eric left the store.. an angry customer came in with his luggage... erm... maybe he wasn't angry at first... but dunno what evoked him... our staff merely asked for his warranty card... the customer couldn't produce it and claimed that his bag is only one year old and it's new model... in fact... it's already about 3 years old.. and warranty is 3years lah... And tada... he exploded and wanted to call our GM... Aiyo... such small matter... so he thinks he very bigshot... in the end he really called our GM while renjie tried to get our Manager first... but to no avail... andy didn't pick up the call... so the angry customer tot renjie ignored him and so he called Singtel to get our main office's number and called there straight away... and talked to our GM... Then he asked the angry customer the same qns... which is when he bought the bag... and i think he got even more angry or something... even scolded our GM! Cos he asked for the USA email or contact... and i think he didn't give at first cos he was trying to explain the situation.... Pengx... aiya... this type of customer siao one lor... if he can talk nicely... can even forget about the warranty just say roughly when buy one lor... stupid... got the guts dun come back and buy our products again lor.. go other companies lor... think he's going to write complaint letter... Omg... think he really spoilt the day there lor.... if not today's sales is quite presentable lor... Damn him...

But truthfully.... i was a bit shocked when he flared up and was pretty scared when the call was going on... and he just shout like nobody's business... And i thought... 1 bad thing can really spoil all the good things that happened.... I believe renjie will only rmb being scolded by the customer and not rmb that he closed 2 good deals earlier in the afternoon when he just arrived... too bad that had to happen... and luckily i was there... to be a witness... and after that he really no mood liao lor... of cos lah... if it's me i also no mood... really curse and swear the customer after he left... so friends... dun be such customers ok...?~! Ok lah.. drop the subject...

On a lighter note... Went out with the cousins ytd... jiaqi and jiaxun... they came all the way to bedok actually... initially we wanted to go kbox at marina sq.... but korkor says kampong chaichee's one is cheaper... so we went there... but to my horror... the place is infested with smoke smell... oh man... and indeed... my jacket and bag smelled of smoke this morning... which i din realise ytd... i must have smelled like cigarette too when i go sy... so conclusion... although only pay $6 for 5hours of singing... it's still better to visit kbox if dun want to smell of smoke... Overall is still quite fun lah... it's becos of the ppl i'm with... my cousins!!

SY was terrible.... had a hard time trying to catch up with the notes for the newly composed song... even thou i tried playing at home... er-jie even commented that it was terrible when i practised at home... sadz... but since it's the first time combining that song... so was being let off... haha... guess we are not going to be so lucky the next time... got to practise more... and i escaped once being the concert master... i think mr quek still didn't know about the confirmed arrangement yet... Heex... Shh....

The past sat was Yanru's 21st bday.... seen quite a few sacians there... but not many stayed till the cake cutting session... all becos it was a bit late already... and she insisted on following her plan... which is games first then cut cake... erm... actually i dunno why she wants to do that... cos of the 21st parties that i attended.. i've never come across this be4... quite weird... but whatever... It's her birthday.... as long as she's happy..~ We left with me eating the 2nd piece of her cake... HAha... It's nice... i always trust prima's cakes... =)

Ok... Time to sleep.. work tml!!! Nitex.. will be back soon...

A week passed again... that's fast yea...

Lol... Have Simba lor... but then looks ugly... cos is not as the appearance in the cartoon... Too bad... took quite a bit of photos... but some very dark lor... quite fun lah... Like Disney on Ice is the only performance i ever watched that allowed cameras and noise inside.. Cos got a lot of children mah... and seriously... noisy.. HAha.. Then after that actually wanted to take cab home... but eventually we took a bus instead cos there's no cab in sight... since bus come liao.. then we just take lor... all the way back to bedok int... then walk home lor..

Then fri during work... the nail that crack the other day erm... this time really come off le.... so no choice got to cut away... but then really pain lor.... think it's been years my nails are so short... sighx... Then after work went to meet up with 2 sis... was rather late of the spoilt escalator... so stupid lor... it's like peak hour and the ppl are trying to repair the escalator... leaving only one side for both going up and down... so really got to queue lor... Really jam there lah... dotx.. So went to josephine and lawrence's house... at woodlands! Oh man... what an alien place... we like so lost there lah... pengx... but still managed to find the place lah... liyan and sansan were there already.... Hmm.. they've got a nice house there actually... so we had dinner... then see photos and chit chat... Left the place around 11pm... lawrence was nice to send us back! he saved us from long bus ride... =)

and today!!! I think the time should be stamped somewhere in the afternoon... but i didn't have the time to finish typing.. so save as draft first lah... and now is actually 1am le... I rot in the morning... watch tv all that while 2 sis went to cut their hair... didn't want to follow... later cut my hair so short got to rebond again... sianx... Then evening went out to meet pri sch friends! Hmm.. gathering after a long time... but only few ppl turned up... quite disappointed that most of the ppl can't make it... in the end only like how many ppl~?! 6! Haha... But still.. we had lotsa fun digging up the past... it's just too bad some of them can't make it to this fun event.. HAha... So we set our butts in Fish n Co at TM and stayed there for the night... talk and talk and talk... everything is just so funny... Anyway... ppl who went... Kexin, Jiewan, Jiaying, Edwin, Wenguang and me... Pathetic? Maybe.. but it's a good start right~?!

We left the place around 10.. when we got in at 6.30.. Haha... So jiewan and jiaying took cab home.. while the 4 of us took 67... all live in bedok area... So wenguang and kexin alighted first... then edwin and me... he walked me home.. still so nice of him.. nicest kor.. although always bully me... Haha... It's really just like how he always sent me home after sch back in pri sch... whenever i didn't walk home with teresa.. How nice... Looking forward to the next one! =)

Ok.. that's all.. working tml! Nitex!

Tuesday blues...

Been updating quite frequently nowadays... but can't guarantee that this frequency will maintain... Haha....

Hmm... I realised that i have very bad tuesday blues... instead of monday blues... In fact... i'm always very happy on mondays lately cos they are my off day... Haha... and actually sometimes i wished i worked from 12 to 8 instead of 11... sianz...

So today i was so so relunctant to get up for work lah... =x But of cos i was there punctually... Renjie was on morning shift today... so chatted when there were no customers... erm.... he taught me quite some things... and let me try to handle some of the stuff... in case they are too busy... hmm... and finally knew how old is he... oh man... so young!! 2 years older than me only lor... but he knows so much... i wonder how long he has been working in samsonite.. but i nv ask lah... Wenwei also very young lor... one year younger than er-jie... and he's married with a kid 6 month old... And Mike! the youngest.... one year younger than me!! But he's also part time de lah.. just that not always come to suntec de... Erm... both renjie and mike quite good looking lor.. Haha... If mike is not younger than me... i might.. Haha... and 2 years older is quite a good age yeah?! Lol.. =P Eric and wenwei dun need to say le... they're both married.. lol...

And today so suay lor... i started work for no even 10min... and i broke my nails when taking out a new piece of luggage for my customer... damn pain lah... and still got to pretend that nothing happened and take the lugguage out for the customer... then started a little bleeding... in the end wait till the customer pay money liao then i go in to cut away the nail and put plaster.... the bad thing is the crack it quite deep... cannot cut until there lor... have to wait for it to grow longer liao... haiz...

Had dinner with Via at 85 market after visiting yushi.. Then met Kexin just as i left the place.. and we stood there and talked for around 20 min be4 i come home with er-jie's ba chor mee...

New blog song!!

Been some time since i last put up a blog music... Erm... my new fav song for the time being... Bu Si Zhi Shen by JJ... actually every song in his album is nice lah... Haha... will try to change regularly... reason~?! The ripway.. like last time... 30 days nv sign in then will cancel account liao... i think this is the 3rd time i signed up for the service.. so dumb.... Anyway... enjoy while reading my blog!! Erm... the song seemed to start a while later when the page opens.... bear with it... at least it's a nice song! HAha...

Hmm... today.. or rather ytd (sun)... Was a busy day both at work and after work... at work.. obviously busy serving customers... i think i din even get to take a sit from i started work till i end except for eating during break time... like normally also will get to sit around and chit chat de lor... but today... we have 5 ppl but still so so so busy... plus injury here and there... dunno why today like that... and the ppl like all come tgt and leave tgt like that... and they just come one after another... really non stop one lor... But there's a part really funny.... got this incident that happened just outside our shop... there's this lady... suddenly shouting very loud at a man and started hitting him... at first i tot they knew each other as in like husband and wife lor... cos they suddenly started quarrelling... and the reason behind was the guy who was pushing a baby tram accidentally knocked into the lady or what lah.. then the lady flared up and she like hit the guy on his shoulder a few times... of cos the guy got shocked lah and of cos nv huan shou lah... (luckily the guy didn't).. if not i think the lady will go crazy... i think the guy asked why she hit him lah.. then the lady said something.. 'ni xian yong na ge (the tram i supposed) lai da wo'! Erm.. it's kinda senseless lah... why would anyone use a baby tram (with the baby sitting on it) to hit someone else intentionally... and then they started shouting at each other... erm... details not needed... but they ended when the guy's wife and mother appeared and with something like 'mei jia jiao' or what.. dunno who started saying that first... but the lady stormed off first (ridiculously) and the family also walked in the same direction... and i thought i heard someone saying 'mei jia jiao' still after they walked off... at that point of time... i think actions in our shop paused... and everyone was looking at the 'show'... oh my god... it's so damn embarrassing to do that in the public lah.. esp when it's a sun with the whole suntec filled with ppl..! Is really siao one lor the lady... i mean he didn't kill her with that knock right... but the reaction was too over lah... dotz...

Then after work busy walking around shop shop... went back to the lingerie sale outside carreffour... cos morning that time actually wanted to buy but time's running out... so went work... so after that then went down to buy the one i wanted lah... bought a shirt from bum... on offer mah... then decided to go IT show again at the last hour... went to level 6 the pasar malam type... trying to see got any offers to grab.. should have asked for more free gifts man... but nvm lah.. actually considered cheap liao.. bought a portable speaker that i can bring around in future during tours... and a mp3 for my mum.... i think i'm so nice cos er-jie was the one who gave the idea of buying the speaker... and i paid for all these... damn.. spent slightly lesser than $300 today lor!! Haiz.. i'm broke i guess... hope not too bad... and that i can still shop...!

Happy??!!

Back for blogging..! Hmm... dunno where to start...

Work? it's fine actually.. And seriously i still have a lot a lot to learn.. instead of saying 'customer' (which i'm supposed to).. i sometimes just say... 'you ren' or 'na ge ren'... hmm... i supposed it's quite rude to do that.. i wasn't taught to say customer lah.. but i tot it's only polite to refer them as customer and not just 'na ge ren'... Must rmb! Everytime too busy.. want to be quick then forget liao... And a lot of things i still can't rmb! like how much is which luggage.. eh.. some nv put price tag.. not good!

Anyway weekdays most of the time quite eng lah... lesser things to do... cos lesser customers mah... but today so weird... we could be like the busiest at a moment (serving a few customers at a time) and totally free the next... Moreover today only 3 ppl working... almost died... esp. when one of us is having break... and it had to jam all the way out of suntec... cos of that IT show 06! TOok like so long to get out of there... and then get back home in bus...

Oh.. today mum came visit me at work... with ann auntie and er-yi (not 2nd aunt but a friend of their whom i know too). Surprise surprise... and mum din tell me when she came back from market this morning!!! And mum bought a keypouch for dad for his birthday.. think dad was surprised too when presented with the pouch..! haha... to think that dad is always the one paying... little did he expect a gift.. dad really is a model husband and father... he never wanted anything from us... but give all he has to us... and i think he spoiled me with money.. like he never rejected my request for more pocket money on weekends... (my pocket money usually comes from mum last time) and even now..! he offered to give me money although i'm working and sis gave me allowance.. but of cos... i din always take lah... unless i'm really running short of money.. Ya!

Tml... or rather.. today... will be lunching out with family! for dad's birthday... though it's still a bit early.. next sunday then is his birthday... haha... but yeah! happy... it's long since the family dine out tgt... think it's er-jie's treat!! =) And will be going to nus openhouse after that.. then proceed to nusco's qing gong yan..~ hopefully can get more advice of what i want and can take...

Finally bought new speakers from the IT show... bought it ytd... so crowded!! but it's quite cheap... so no lose lah... just that it's quite heavy.. haha.. then today i made a trip back again to get er-jie a MMC card for her phone... again.. squeeze.. managed to get a leaflet for the ipod accessories.. finally.. ytd nobody wants to give me.. haha.. shall go down to wheelock place someday... maybe monday!! off day and going out! =)

Decisions...

There's always times we need to make decisions... but the problem is... nobody knows what will be the outcome of the decision.. And starts worrying what if we regret after making that decision... every decision made is an important step in life... it will determine what will come after that...

Now is the time we are making an important decision that will affect and will stay with us for the rest of our lives... i'm really confused... the more ppl ask me.. the more confuse i get.. the more lousy i feel about myself and my results... the more i feel that i'm a failure because i never had plans in my life... the more i worry if i can ever get into a university although i kept on telling myself there's no problem to it...

Then i have all the qns coming out... can i cope with the work in future? will i be able to maintain the scores.. will i be able to graduate with a degree i want? am i up to the standard? i'm worry cos i seem to always stay at the same standard...

My rough decision is getting a degree first then decide if i really want to go into nie... actually teaching has been an ambition since young.. but it's not so strong when i was older... and i can't say for sure will i be a good teacher... Cos i seriously dun want to be teacher whereby all my students doesn't like... and classified as a 'lousy teacher'... cos i've been saying some teachers (ahem) that.. Haha..

But no matter what... there must be a decision made.... within the restricted time... it might not be the best.. but if we do not try... nobody will know is it a good one.. i believe that sometimes ppl are left with no choice thus have to make one that isn't really what he/she wants... but accept it.. there might be surprises... i believe it's the same for horng... however... i wish her all the best in her studies and persevere!! i will start saving de... (if i can..)

Post results..

Ytd wanted to update.. but dunno what's wrong with blogspot... anyway... everyone should know that results are out already.. So erm.. wasn't exactly happy about it lah... esp. cla.. the overall was quite bad... but heard other schools' AB grades very high... hmm... it's time that cla dept think if anything is wrong... now i dunno if i'm still able to study chinese.. i can enter lah... but then... will it be a good choice~?! that i dunno... if not i will be doing maths.. is that worse? hmm... i'm rather confused u know... The only lucky thing was i passed Econs and GP. i totally no confidence for gp lor... so in the end i got a c5...

Regarding GP... i have a few friends that failed theirs... but believe me... u still can apply for uni... pls refer to the 'Category A' book Pg12 Q68.. but of cos some courses will be restricted lah... Ya.. but dun just give up if u fail gp... just have to sit for the QET when admitted.... which i have to take also lah.... dotx...

So even though we are all not in a very good mood.. yuhui, chek and i still went out for a meal together... and that yvonne had to pang seh us... idiot... but we ended up with emily, kinsing and wanlin at J8's Cartel... Yupx... Saw deshun when we were entering the place... he and his classmates were sitting there! Enjoying their meal.. or rather... finishing their meal... Ya... so we sat there for quite a while... left at 6+.. got to go for sy liao... sianz... But all right lah... went thru jiang jun ling... finished that in like 1+ hour~?! then laoshi started intro on reading manuscript scores... and ended with asking us to transcript the He Ping Song to number notes... dotz... But good thing he sent me back to bedok... yea...

Thurs.. which was ytd.. i started work at Samsonite @ Suntec city... erm... can look for me at ur free time.. but i guess u also dun dare to come in.. cos the things are expensive!! Haha... but got to know that the suntec one is biggest showroom in sg... and got better pay also.. but i guess it doesn't really concern me.. HAha... Will be working from 11am to 7 pm everyday.. except for mon and sat.. So can date me out in the afternoon on mondays if u are free!! =)
Anyway the ppl there very nice lah... but one thing i realised about the ppl there... most of the younger ppl... are those who doesn't excel in studies.. like mike... he quite shuai one lor... but he's in ite... then wenwei too... erm ok.. he din even go to ite... so u know what i mean.. last time kelvin also ite de... haiz... but i believed their pay quite good lah... samsonite is so rich lor.. HAha...

Then got customer so what one lor.. say what.. 'so plastic BAGs also can lah'... oh man.. trying to be funny... bring a plastic bag and try lah! Siaoz..
