Yours Truly
The Snail Story

Muscleache everywhere. Sunday is a bliss. To rot at home and transported about by wheel chair my chair. Yesterday was a terror which totally sounds like joke now. Listening to the training was easy. I always knew the carrying of trays with foods part was tough. But I never expect it to be this tough. The tray itself was bloody heavy already. And just by putting 5 porcelain plates on it, it weighs a ton to meee.... Our worst fear was to spill the foods on the guest. On the first dish and only the first dish, my brother hit onto the table number stand and spill the water on the guest. The tables I was in charged of werent too far from his. And I heard him kept apologising. It was so scary and worrying. Very hard to describe. I was fortunately, in charge of the beverage part. But I had to help carrying the soiled plates and stuff back. I totally lost count of the number of times I went to and fro the kitchen area with heavy trays and glasses. My brother was deployed away to handle other tables. Yong Han served the second dish to the same table. Second table was roast pork. Blimey. The pig head dropped when he served the dish to the table. So he was also deployed away. I think that table guests should be extremely unhappy after the two servings. But it sounds so funny when we talked about it later on. My tables guests were quite easy going (thanks god). And they speak mandrain. So I more or less scrapped through the night with easy guests and helpful partners. But there's one aunty serving the other two tables adjacent to mine. She very bossy. Kept bossing me to do this do that when I wasnt in charge of her tables. And she doesnt carry a single trip of soiled plates and thought she did me great service by offering drinks to the guests on my tables. I had to help her carry those heavy stuff instead lor. Bloody. On the trip to and fro, I kept seeing familiar faces carrying the big big tray with a lot of plates and foods. See until heart pain. Aaron, derrick and holly they all so small and thin. Then the tray is so big until their whole body had to tilt to accustomise the tray on the shoulder. And my brother and yong han.... I swear I will never introduce what shit banquet jobs to people already. =(((( The only good thing about the banquet was that I got to see the big shots HongKong actors on stage. They got invited to host the dinner. Got zeng zhi wei, ou yang zheng hua, yang yi, miao qiao wei and xuan xuan. Basically is mostly du chan feng yun's casts. I only got high a while and had to keep working like robot. Walked fast fast (cuz the tray too heavy and cant afford to walk slowly), served this, served that. Dun have time to enjoy the performances. Everybody complained to quit when I got out of changing room. Honestly, this was the first time I saw yonghan and derrick chat until so agitated. A bit hilarious. But I dun think we can undergo another round of carrying. The foods were damn bad also. Western only got two hot dogs, soggy fries and rice. Daily special was only beehoon with some meat sauce. Damn pathetic. To think the guests dun wanna eat the abalones and bird nests and we had to throw them away. =((((( Money is not easy to earn. I know that long ago. I just wanna emphasize.

Undertook a part time job on thurs. The pay quite good. All count by $7 per hour. But I know it's gonna be totally tedious and scary. Banquet serving at Resort world. Serving those big characters driving posh cars out there. Tomorrow is the actual start of work. Honestly, im damn worried. Haven try carrying those stuff. Dunno how heavy they are. I kept thinking in a paranoid way. Like what happen if I trip and fall. What happen if I spill the foods on the guests, etc etc. And the floor plan over there is like a total maze to me. And I need to pick up grooming stuff right from the start. Totally omg. Hope I wun work until cry back. Feel so damn busy these days. My com hasnt been switched on for almost 1 week. Being a total healthy, normal youngster, 1 week never use com is like a miracle. Hoho. Okay. A bit exaggerating. But anyway. I wanna emphasize on how I miss my com. Only managed to come in use a while now. Going to sleep after blogging. Haven logged in facebook for almost 5 days also. 89 notifications. So wow. See how com is so impt to us, youngster. I planned a lot to do when I got chance to rot. Next week totally no chance. Maybe next next week. Taiwan dramas Jiu Xiang Lai Zhe Ni Di Er Ci Wo Ai Ni Anime Hitman Reborn (continuation) Fairytail (intro by bro) K on (intro by bro) Jap drama Liar Game 2 Korean drama Qi Zi De You Huo (Loaned CD) Hong Kong drama Forensic Hero 3 Movie Percy Jackson and the lighting thief (watching on mon) And I got 3 other Sophie Kinsella's books to finish before I return them back to library. Suddenly feel like everyday not enough time. I wanna go swimming, cycling and K-ing badly also. Never mind. I got a lot of time. I wanna learn bake cheese cake from anata too! So I need a lot of money to sustain. New aim is to make money!! Hopefully I can also save a bit and maybe go oversea before uni starts (if I really can go up to uni). Okay. Im going to sleep. Wish me luck that I wun make mistake tomorrow. Adieu~

Is half of what I been sleeping these few days. Suddenly when I cannot sleep for 10 hours, my eyes almost cannot tahan. Very itchy and red when I woke up today. Feel like replenishing my sleep later but I haven even start my revision for Biochem. And I really mean it when I said I haven start. The most slack revision I ever had. Last paper in poly somemore. Freight paper was hard to me. Cuz of the lack of studies, I think. Very luckily, I memorised the LCL export process 10 mins before going to exam. Then exam first theory question asked me for the export process. I quickly vomit them out before I forgot. While doing, I kept thinking I had time to finish. Blooy sea costing question took me very long becuz I kept thinking if I need to divide by 6000 for volume weight like airfreight or not. Wy more pro. The question asked about Free Trade Agreement, she go and answer "I think global warming is a bigger issue." Hahahahaha... I started to dispise 4D and Toto. My parents need to buy everyday. Everyday lor... One day dunno buy how much money. They know the probability is low. But they just faithfully go buy everyday. I dun like it. Then when they are buying at cheers, I saw the Ben and Jerry on sales. Two tubs $22.90. So tempting. So I waited patiently for them to buy finish and come out to ask them to buy ( I dun have wallet with me.) Then my mum said "Cheers very exp. Dun buy." ...... Irony. Scrimp on foods but no scrimp on lottery. =( Interview at Resort World straight after last exam tomorrow. They said Banquet is very tough. Need carry heavy plates with one hand. But I just like to go into Resort World. Especially when it's free of charge. ^^

I dun have mood to study. Yesterday went study also end up talking. I really believe I not suited to do peer studies. But even study alone at home doesnt help any better. Especially when I just finished watching "Hi, My Sweetheart" and have 4 books of Sophie Kinsella's collection loaned from library yesterday. Wanna continue to find shows to watch and read finish the books. Talking about the books. I wanna complain! The loaners dunno how to take care of library books de lor. First few pages of "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic" already got numbers scribblings liao. Then gross of all grosses is that when you are reading until shuang shuang and your tumb accidentally brushed against something that popped up. Super Bloody hell la. I looked closer and realised it's nose shit. Made me shiver with digust and damp my tumb with Detol handwash. Only didnt use hot water to pour on my poor tumb. So what. That bloody fellow read and dig nose at the same time arh. So inconsiderate and disgusting. Haiz. Up until now, I still haven finish a chapter of study. And im already in here blogging. This time round didnt go airport and study. My favourite airport.... =((( Last time round to mug in airport already and I didnt do it. Suan le suan le. Mug at home. Oh. By the way. I applied for uni already. Think the courses I chose were so tough to get in. I wonder if I will ever receive any acceptance letter. Got put in Nursing course though. But dun think mum will want me work as nurse. See first la. See will receive which confirmation letter first. I was bloody the 40000000+ (th) applicant. If I can ever enter, I really need to go temple and thanks god le. Shall stop crapping for now. Quek Ying Zhen! Go back and eat ur mug!! Dear Celine, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Went Sentosa yesterday. Sentosa damn pretty with the new casino and Universal Studio. Laopa wanna drove in to familiarise with the roads so that if anybody takes his taxi, he knows the way. Took damn lots of photos. Lazy to upload them up. Maybe upload tomorrow or Fri. I so wanna enter Universal Studio. It looks damn fun inside. But ticket $68 leh.... Where got money. =X Sentosa has got lots and lots of people. People mountain people sea. And the sun shone ever so brightly that we were perspiring like mad. Went to meet Gu Gu they all in the night. Went to the river ang bao thingy. Another mountain and sea of people. The place quite big. But the stalls quite disappointing. Luckily the decor very pretty. There're performances on the floating stage. The singings really cannot make it. Hohoho. I confirm plus guarantee chop it's not the mike problem. It's the singers problems. Their singing suck. Jie jie and her husband bought the mai ya tang shaped into the dragon shape. Bloody exp. $5. I can eat a bowl of noodle and maybe add a packet of drink liao. New year is a good time to make money. Singapore pool also set up directly opposite the Cai Shen Ye statue somemore. But I bought my Toto already so didnt buy anymore. Met two couples over there. Singapore is so small. Gave a surprise attack on Celine today to celebrate her birthday in advance. I think we really shocked her to the core. And she was still wearing her pyajamas. Hahahaha. Think it's a sweet success. Lao yu sheng somemore. But nobody knows how to say those nice nice things. Sean anyhow come up with "Yellow yellow ditrty fellow" thingy. Kana shoot. Took plenty of photos .... and videos. Somehow me and celine became entertainers as well. Damn funny and pai seh. Kana forced to act "ah gua". Bloody. Im a girl already. How to act ah gua??!! Hahahaha. End up also with an NG video. Original plan to play a lot of board games, etc. But I think sometimes impromptu activities very fun also. Laughed a lot. Until just now on the way home then realised I dun have much time to study and apply for uni. Bloody bloody. Haiz. Hope the boat will go straight when it reach the harbour. Time now is 3am. Bloody. I forsee I will be late for tomorrow's study. NIght. =)

New year cannot open mouth, close mouth keep scolding bloody. First day of new year a bit ...... awkward. Cuz I put on the last pair of contact I bought 3 years ago and the Zara skirt my uncle gave to go visitng. Very bu zi zai. I still prefer my shorts and specs la. A bit sian also cuz after wearing until so formal, we only went visitng for like less than 2 hours and prepared to go home. =X Been rotting in front of com since 3.30pm. Finally got to see my cousin's son (I dunno wat's the term to describe our relationship). Going to be 1 year old. He very big! I think he looked more like a 1++ year old baby to me. But he very cute. =DD The legs and hands all so small. So soft to touch. Hohohoho. I sounds like a pervert sia! And he got a stylo milo hairstyle. Hahahaha. Forgot to take his picture. I know New year come very fast and end very fast. Very soon im going to have final year exam. Tsk. Haven study. And I been so so so lazy to apply for uni at this moment. No mood. Know that the application closing soon. Maybe apply on Thurs. Hope it wun be too late. Lastly, just wanna wish everybody happy new year. Be healthy and happy. And Happy Birthday, lao van.

Today marked the end of the whole lesson plan in my Poly life. I slowly started to really look around my beloved TP. The microecons classroom, the long flight of staircase which I used to hate when im running late for class, the IT toilet where yiling, van and hp help me in year 1, the lecture theatre which I used to believe is the best chit chat place on earth, the bridge that im so used to walk and of course, the lom centres that I love to hang out the best in the whole school. Halfway through biochem tutorial, hp typed "our last lesson's going to end...=(" Bloody. Remind me of the sad sad part. Actually it's not that I couldnt go back TP again. It's just the whole feeling will be damn different. =( Towards the end of the last tutorial, ah cek kinda kana scolded by Teo kee boon. Cuz his presentation slides too wordy. I never find teo kee boon scary. I kinda saw a little of his temper just now. I think if he is going to be angry, it'll be scary. Going to Sentosa tomorrow. Becuz im bloody confident van will be lazy to read, I dun bother to hide the fact that we are celebrating her bdae tomorrow. Hohohohoho.
8:13 PM
..... No. I am freaking mad. If I have the confusion power attack, I'll use the full 100% on the bloody taxi driver. Sorry. Im damn grudgeful. Especially when I did nothing wrong and you fuxxing shout at me like nobody's business. Almost got into an accident because of your bloody ungrace moves. So what if im a female driver with a P plate. Try doing that again and I bloody use my P plate to smash you. The way back was damn adventurous. The dinner was damn full. The taxi driver was damn irritating. My family damn angry, like me. I hate to say but im going to prepare complaint letter again. I hate the current me. Everyday full of grumphy-ness. Im going to change a new wallpaper. Maybe put as lovely, sweet, happy, etc. Maybe can change my mood. =) I love LOM. I love TP. I love the lecturers. I love my friends. Im gonna miss everything.

This week is the last school week of my poly life. Just had my last inter freight tutorial yesterday. Wanna treasure it but not soon after it starts, I got bored and wish for it to end already. Managed to "settle" with Uncle Lim with the power of the group at stairway. Hope he stick with the pact and dun reveal those-that-cant-be-seen stuff to anymore people. (And I sincerely hope those lecturers haven been laughing at us secretly when they were teaching us.) Damn hectic week too. Very broke cuz need to buy a lot of presents and new year stuff. 4e1 suddenly got a lot of parties due to 21st birthdays. But I didnt attend the most recent one. I wonder if I ever wanna celebrate and extend my invitations, will there be any present members. Went with my ACK (Annual Chinatown Kaki) to go Chinatown last Saturday. Chinatown is a bit of a disappointment cuz the shops are fewer. Dunno go there see what. And my hygiene freak problems kept on acting on me. =( I need to find a way to kick off those problems or I will live to be a grumbling ah ma in future. Yesterday met up with Doc and fannie. Bought Tracey's birthday present. Very pooh-ish. Hoho. Later today going for bak gu teh. Wednesday look for Lao van's present. Thursday celebrate lao van's birthday. Friday go pooling. Hohoho. This week damn eventful!! Saturday new year eve liao. omg omg omg. 8 more minutes to my second last inter freight lecture. Just now bio-chem lecture, linda dun let me draw a snail on her notes. Then I remind her it's the last time I ever get to draw on other people notes and she let me draw......... I guess..... People more or less will get sentimental. Bloody. Jason now kept whining about nothing to do. Now FYP finish, everybody no aim. Suddenly very free. I realise im really too tired to care. Maybe I really reach the stage of past caring. Haiz. Just say whatever you want.

Just received fyp presentation photos from jason today. Cant believe everybody smile so sweet in the photos. Hehe... :)   The only photo with uncle lim... Uncle lim is the best supervisor I ever seen...  Was damn unhappy for the past few days. But I think everything cleared up today. Maybe old people really think too much. Im glad I didnt anyhow blog and rant it over here.
Went to the career talk today. But I guess talks arent effective on me. Couldnt even concentrate. The talks are like the NTU talks. Very dry. The one representing SPRING Singapore was boring everybody. Long and draggy. Badminton and Tennis after that. SO long didnt play already!!! And I think it's probably the last time we will ever get to play since after new year is main exam and after main exam, we are graduating. No matter how many times I said, I still wanna repeat, I cant bear to leave TP. =((( Dun bother to tell me to retain. I just wanna express my bu she de to the school.
Badminton and tennis are so fun!! Tennis is so hard to play. I can fully understand why xiang qin from ISWAK learn so long also cannot hit the tennis ball properly. Picked balls more than hit balls. But I still find it fun la.
Just now bathed came out found the hp flooded with msgs. Lao cai they all were complaining about sbs services. I really believe someday, someone will open up another power bus service company. Let sbs know they bloody arent the monopoly!
I learnt something today also....
Never mess with a lecturer.
Especially a lecturer who passed his PSLE!

When there's finally time, I started to look back. Dunno why today suddenly so sentimental about the past. A bit overwhelming. Maybe it's because it's quite a long time since I had meal with my family and the stupid radio kept playing those 90's songs. Kept reminising the time when we were small. I cleaned my storybooks cupboard and my table. Took me almost a day to finish. I read while cleaning. So took double the time. Saw my last time class photos. So miss the time when we were so young and ignorant. Now... Haiz... Laodi a bit affected by me. Kept playing old songs while cleaning. Time like this is so peaceful. No rush that type. If only there's no lesson tomorrow. I'll just need some more time like this. PS: Laoma's appetite is scary. So long never eat together, I almost forgot laoma's appetite is bigger than wanyan and jason's. She ate a bowl of prawn noodles, shared fried kuay tiao and rojak today. omg omg omg.
2:27 AM
Saturday went to NTU talks. Thought I can come up with a decision on where I wanna go but the talks were so dry that they can cause a drought. Initially very excited. In the end, we left after listening to 2 to 3 talks. Got a lot of freebies though. Me and wanyan damn aunty. I saw they giving water bottles at one of the booths. So I thought I can dun need buy new bottle if I get that one since my old one kept leaking water (as usual). The whole group only wanyan went with my aunty-ness. We pretended to ask some questions on the first round. But I found it too embarassing to ask for the bottles. Hence, we left. But I can kept hearing the bottles to beg us bring them back. So we pluck up our courage to go again. I damn pei fu wanyan. In the end is she ask for the bottles. So happy. So coincident. We met the guys in the same time slots, same theatre somemore. Went to Just Acia for dinner again. Ramen was okay but I like the ice cream and hot chocolate! Somehow, I got myself two daughters, one grand daughter and a senile husband in that meal. What a dysfunctional family. Im so glad the family isnt for real cuz I may strangle hit my grand daughter. Went to Fannie's birthday after that with yuewen and tracey. A bit nervous cuz I haven see my ex classmates for so long. Went in immediately saw Sabrina. Then felt very apologetic for not turning up for her 21st. Fannie's mum damn nice. She like scared we didnt take foods and kept offering foods to us. Saw my jc friends too. The whole feeling not as bad as I picture it to be. Whole party quite okay. =D And me and yuewen so funny. Yuewen kept dropping foods and I broke a fork while slicing honeydew. They kept saying im rough. But I think that kind of fork is quite brittle? Anyway, not my problem. Is the fork problem. Went home fully shag. Slept like nobody's business. I honestly hope im not snoring.
2:10 AM
Had very eventful days for the past 3 days. Haven have time to really settle down and the events came flashing past like zoom zoom zoom... gone... But honestly. They were fun. =DDD Had our presentation last friday. I was amazingly not as nervous as I thought I was. Didnt have words stuck in mouth like I worried. Just that Jenny's question really took me by surprise. Like very straight to the point. Very practical and we haven thought of it. But anyway, we managed to crap through. Johnny also shot us. Quite badly I think. Asked if we did fish bone diagram. Bloody sad. No fish so no fish bone ma. Like that ask kinda expose our overlooking. After in house presentation, they whole feeling was damn HIGH! Sean drove us all to ikea for lunch. Throughout the journey, the radio played Bad Romance. SO HIGH lahhh. That reckless driver even "sway" his car when there wasnt any car on road. I think we are so happy to stop him driving like that. Finally, we had plenty of time to scroll around in ikea slowly. We were like small kids. Playing and bouncing on sofas and beds. We were past caring anyway. Company presentation in the evening. It was so relaxing. We were just explaining our ideas to Daniel. Uncle lim kept pushing me to work back the company again. He even told Daniel that I can be the what admin head, then celine be assist, Sean in Operation and Jason as dispatch staff. So pai seh. Like so desperate like that. But the new office is so pretty. Like finally looks like a real office like that. A bit sad I didnt have my SIP later to try working in that office. I never had my own cubicle office before leh. =XX Dinner uncle lim treat. So touched. Uncle lim still kept thanking us. In fact, we should be the one thanking him. I never met another supervisor as good as him. He said he had pleasure working with us. I cant agree more. I felt so blessed to be in this group. To think I was still so worried when the whole project thingy start. Throughout the few months, I really felt bonded to everybody. Me and celine kept on reflecting the past when we met yiling, wanyan and weiping after the dinner. Dum dum celine said those things and almost made me cry at pastamania. I wanna declare my love like wanyan. I love my group members. Everyone of them. Who can be luckier than me?
