new specs soon

Went to make a new specs just now. I was determine not to get a pink frame cuz many ppl say i look like a teacher when i wear my old specs i kinda look a bit pale wif pink frames.


When i reached that shop, the optician there was busy wif 2 customers,an auntie and his son (gosh...the little boy is in kindergarten cuz wearing the blue PAP uniform. so young, and need to wear specs liao... like my father said, im real lucky to only start wearing my specs in sec 4. my response??? I replied that this meant that i really studied a lot for my Olevels... ok... nvr mind)


Since the guy was busy, he asked me to choose wad kind of frame i want. so i choose lor. But to me, all the frames look kind of similar only of different colours. So wif the colour pink off my mind, i went straight for the black or dark blue ones ( i want to try a different style-- the panda style!!!). Tried a lot, but they all look wierd on my face. I already think my face sucks. With all these specs, i think i look suckier.


When the optician finally came to me, he said in chinese," come xiao mei (little girl), i intoduce some specs that are suitable for u." Then turned to the rack behind the counter( wad the hell... first he called me xiao mei( he looks just a few years older than me), now he go one big round to tell me indirectly that i had wasted all my time just now trying out all the specs that are NOT suitable for me.


But i enjoyed this trip cuz its the first time i had to sit infront of a machine that looks like a binoculars and in the lense i saw 2 colourful ducks swimming ( i think the animation is to lure little kids to sit infront of the machine so that the optician can trace the degree. ( oh no... i enjoyed it ,so that means im still a kid, so slapped with the "xiao mei" title is no joke)


Then was told to wear a bookworm-look-alike-specs for the correct lenses. First time had to compare the sharpness between the red and green board. A real eye opener!!! So when everythings fine, the optician asked me to look outside to test the sharpness and the comfort level of the frame... only to meet eye-to-eye with a malay couple who happened to walk past the shop. They gave me the facial expression like they had just saw an alien (OMG! They must be shocked by my bookworm face)


I did not need to do all these with my previous opticial shop. Thats why i tend to feel a little giddy when i wore my previous specs. And the previous shop looks more classy than this one somemore. I swear i will nvr go to the previous opticial shop ( looks can bluff )








toursim toursim here i come

Went to the SP intranet to KPO yesterday... see if there is anything new sent to me. Then i went to the SAS to explore... When i pressed the academic tab, to my surprise, saw initials "TM". Duno what it meant at first. So go MSN ask if anyone knew. Then KC told me thats our option for yr2. So that means i'm in tourism management!!! yesh!!! im in my first choice!!! so excited cuz i heard that there are only 3 tourism classes and this course is real hot due to the up and coming IRs. My hard work paid off!!!


So from mid April, my life will be surrounded by all tourism related stuff ( my year2 course and my CYA duties ) hope i wont develop any tourism related phobias.

damn it walkman

SHIT SHIT SHIT !!! ARH ARH ARH!!! WHY MUST TIS HAPPEN TO ME? I THOUGHT I HAD HOPE BUT IT WAS A DISASTER !!!!
My walkman (my very precious) has long been spoilt since that very day i bought JJ's yi qian nian yi hou CD (ok... i admit its not e Singapore's version. Gahmen, don't charge me cuz at least i'm honest, i admitted myself...)
I was so Eng (free), so i took it out to try my luck. See if it still functioning. I took out mayday's zhi zhu ( 2nd CD which consists of i-think-should-be-hokkien songs). To my surprise, my percious walkman works!!! No words could describe how i felt at that time. It was like a miracle!!!! Then i took out my long time no listen SHE's bu xiang zhang da (This time is the official version... real one). I pressed the play button with excitement cuz finally can listen to my fav CD using my precious walkman le.
Then... SKY OVERCAST... THUNDER ROARED... THE WORDS "NO CD" SLAMED INFRONT OF MY EYES... i don't believe it... how come?
I din give up. Tried the mayday CD again. It played. I tried the other CDs i have including the FHS_CO_ CD... It din work!!!!
TO CONCLUDE, MY WALKMAN IS STILL SPOILT BUT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT CAN ONLY PLAY MAYDAY'S HOKKIEN SONGS



MY CONCLUSION
  • Maybe its time to start learning hokkien
  • I think my walkman hated me for buying CDs that are un-Singapore-rily produced versions. So it went on a strike.

Come back to me my precious metallic blue walkman!!!!! WO HAO XIANG NIAN NI ARH!!!

challenging

Thought sat's stand-in duty will suck. but it turns out to be v interesting and challenging. Sat's senior rover is JW. He is infamous for being strict. But no choice, i had to stand-in for joyce. so dragged my feet to duty. [guo mei mei's bu pa bu pa song kept on repeating in my head: not as if JW's a cockroach]. Im just scared n worried.

but turns out JW's quite relaxed and friendly. He told us a lot about his expectations. i wanted to tell him "hello~~im only a stand-in, but due to respect, i listened to his speech. I nvr tell him im only a stand-in till he asked if we are all permanent Sat CYAs.

One thing i really blew me off was that tested( his so called challenge) me to locate the nearest lift to the movie lounge. I took the escalator up to the lounge in lvl 3, found the lift and took it down to the transit lvl again. from there, i located the landmark of the lift and REPORTED my findings to him. heheeee.... He praised me...

i really learnt a lot from him. woah... such a challenging man! i like!

duty

2 consecutive days standing in the airport transit. Legs and shoulders now aching like hell. maybe after watching tourists and handsome angmohs walking past me carrying luggages but i cannot follow, i am so desperate that i fell sick. Sick-of-not-going-on-a-holiday syndrome. so down with a flu!!!! ARH!!!

went for my duties on Friday and Saturday, tiok flu. So sleep away almost the whole my Sunday away. Shitty blocked nose and ears. I am so blur already. This flu makes me like an idiot. Need more time to process what others say cuz my ears and brain are not functioning well.

I NEED PESTICIDES TO KILL THESE IDIOTIC FLU BUGS

Results Out

EXAM RESULTS WILL BE OUT ON 22 MARCH @ 8.30AM.

Armed with my gardening tools, i will be digging a large hole starting from today while waiting for that day to come.
2 options on the usage of the hole on that day:

  1. Upon receiving my results, Grief-stricken.Hell. The hole will be used to bury myself. Out of this world. Out of all complications. Quietly disappearing. MIA
  2. Upon receiving my results, Stairways to heaven. The hole will be used to bury all my textbooks. All my sickening tutorials and notes. Far away from my memories. LET IT DECOMPOSE...

WHICH OPTION WILL I GET?

NAN WU ER MI TUO FO

Some interesting people and facts gathered from my training in the airport:

  • A woman was sleeping on many Singapore maps @ T2 McDonalds. Maps were opened up and put on the chair and table she was sleeping on. Wonder why she used Singapore maps instead of other free brochures that were available on. Was she scared that her clothes would be dirtied by sitting on the Mac's chair?
  • Chicken = check-in (pronounced by some passengers with slangs & accents )
  • Bur-King in not booking, but BurgerKing
  • Parents Room provides only L-size pampers
  • A chocloate shop sells bakua ( this surprised 2 of my team members as they thought a man will be standing behind the counter with a fan while BBQing pork.HAHA)
  • Ah Belle, my team member, purposely went to open the door of the smoking room and came back coughing
  • We were on the travellator when a young Angmoh girl ran pass. Zi Rong, our leader was the only one who noticed she had big boobs. The rest of us only noticed her face.
  • The job of the pilot is the easiest when compared to the rest of the staff on a plane. He only need to be in charge during flying and landing. The rest will be on auto-pilot mode
  • Showering in the transit hotel need @ least S$8.

Training @ the Airport

Official training @ changi airport begins tmr continuously for 3 days. Was flipping through the cya training booklet when i got a shock of my life. There was a page full of airline codes... & i was told we have to remember them. I only know SQ & MI. And who will know the code for Jetstar Asia is 3K? Why can't it be JS or JT*? wonder who came up with all these codes. Have to travel across Singapore tmr from west to Changi. An hour's journey. I have Lijia to accompany me. but i think that i will be sleeping on the train. Luckily we do not need to wear our uniform tmr cuz i dun want ppl to complain that it is a disgrace seeing cya ppl sleeping in the train like no body's business.

Im v uncertain what we will be doing during the training session. But one thing im certain is that i will not be touching this com for 3 whole days cuz the training & the travelling will make me v v v v v v v tired.

-_- ZzzzzZZZz

My saviour

I had intended to go to an interview for a sales executive position alone today. I had made up my mind to go alone today cuz it seemed like everyone's busy, going out or busy studying. So when i had gave up asking ppl to accompany me, i received a msg from my primary sch-cum-SP friend Candy. She was v sian and asked me if i wanted to go out walk walk. I saw light!!! Finally someone can go to the interview with me! We chatted for a while on phone when i suddenly asked her if she knew how to get to Lao Pa Sat. Opposite Lao Pa Sat will be the place where my interview would take place ie Robinson Pt. She then immediately asked me if i was going to level 10 of that building. Was so shocked, how she knew? She told me her sis went there for an interview too. The whole interview took bout 3hrs. Guess what that item we would be selling? I was told i would be promoting a new brand of mineral water. But Candy told me that the company wants ppl to help them promote those water purification equipment. It costs $1822/unit **FAINTS**

i MET MY SAVIOUR!!! CANDY SAVED ME!!! That jerk Thomas aka the one who contacted me bluffed me.... wad mineral water? bull shit!!!

I had decided to forgo this whole interview and decided to go shop shop with candy instead. At bout 2++ , I received a call. I ask who he was cuz it was a private number and when he told me he was Thomas, I immediately end that call. I did this so abruptly that candy thought reception was weak. Then both of us burst out laughing. That jerk Thomas even msg me before he called me. This is wad he wrote" U coming at 3 rite?". I wanted to be bad, i din want to reply. But my saviour candy persuaded me to reply. This is wad i wrote" sorry, i had found a job ald. so i am not coming" With this few words, that jerk must be swearing n cursing me.
I DUN CARE MAN!!!!

Jerk aside, i enjoyed myself today with my saviour...
I seemed that everything was providence at work...
u won't believe it until it happen on you.
FATE & HEAVEN'S EYES ON ME
