Alright. my first day working. Hm.. how was it? I really don't know how to put it in words.

Firstly, the people there are all quite nice. So that's good. Though i didn't get to know everyone, but they tried their best to help me which i am really thankful about. Odd eating hours and you kinda gotta eat alone so its quite sad. I've decided to make my own sandwich from wed onwards! of course i must get ingredients first.

By doing that, i can save on expenditure and eat healthily! =)

Now, i need to find an in-sole so that i will stop giving my feet blisters due to shoes that are half a size too big. its just HALF a size! darn. alright.. tata!!

Had drama the night before and we were doing some warm-ups and my teacher wrote this extremely interesting so here it goes:

One bright day in the middle of the night,
2 dead men got up to fight.
Back to back, they faced each other.
A deaf policemen heard the noise,
he came and killed those 2 dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie is true,
ask the blind man,
he saw it, too!

Cool eh?

So i spend most of last night having a little chinese writing competition with my bro, initially, my duty was to just give him "ting xie" but he wrote so horribly, i decided to make him write every thing again 10 times. And he started whining and complaining so i ended up giving him some motivation by writing everything with him 10 times. Of course i won!! haha..

ok, so today i'm gaurding the house again. Going to the esplanade library tomorrow. Got to research on my drama stuff. There's 14 people taking diploma this year!! It's the most number of candidates ever! man, its going to be tough.

Anyhow, just when i've found a job for a month, agents start calling to tell me more offers and i feel so bad turning them down. I wonder if i can get help from them again. =X I really hope so. =X alright, guess i'm done for today. take care!

I'm back.. again.

As you all know, i am still unemployed, thus, i have all the free time to blog. I'm actually waiting for the recruit express agent to send me am e-mail about the details for the interview, she said she'll send it yesterday or the day before but today, i have yet to recieve it. guess i'm going to call her later. =)

You know, i use to think stayin at home was a bore, do nothing but turn yourself into a potato couch. Thankfully, i think i've learnt much more than just that. i'm doing housework!! haha. The thing about stayin at home and doing absolutely nothing just makes your imagination run wild, makes you think and think about the past. What you've done, why your've done some things, and how you've got it all wrong. Just makes you grow a little more i guess.

I've been watching the oprah show on tv, its really interesting. Why so? It makes people realise how insecure we all are and that's where problems, especially in relationship go haywire. Take for example this episode that i watched. It was a congregation of about 6 husbands who have cheated on their wives and who may be still cheating on them. So Oprah was trying to find out why they cheat and how. And while they were all confessing "candidly"(some of them), their wives were watching backstage. The interesting thing was this, this guy said that approximately 99.9% of husbands cheat on their wives and the other 0.1% or so who say they aren't, are lying. Just imagine, the males saying that. It kind of shocked me a little. =X

Then, all the wives joined their husbands on the show and oprah asked some questions. There's one in particular which i remembered cause it really struck me. She asked if any of the wives had looked up the mistresses, and one of them did, and she was saying something about wanting to see who this lady was to sort of break up their 18 years of marriage. Then this guy spoke up saying that people always see the mistresses as being the on at fault. Being the sly woman who goes around destroying people's marraige when the actualy fact is the men themselves who are at fault but they always make it sound as if they're the innocent party. And wives, who love their husbands and are unwilling to blame them naturally blame the mistresses. Also, it takes 2 hands to clap right, so for ur spouse to commit adultry means that there's something wrong in the relationship, somehow he isn't fully satisfied thus he finds someone else who can saatisfy it. So its both parties fault. After watching the show, i kind of have second thoughts about mistresses when i read about Singaporean men who commit adultry.

Well, i'm off to watch another oprah show soon! =) And i just read something that really made my day. It's heartwarming to know that the ones you care about are doing well. =) Oh ya, i'm trying to plan a sec 4/7 gathering so go check ur e-mails if your're reading this ya. Take care!!

My stomach's feeling all wrong again!! =( i think its the curry puff i ate this morning which has been kepy for 2 days. ouch. i kinda tasted wierd but i ate it nevertheless. Lesson learnt.

anyhow, i'm still jobless though i'm going for an interview on mon at some company at chai chee to do telemarketing. u know what's the worse part about it? the sales. then again, its more or less sales when it comes to telemarketing rite. ah wells.

so i'm home all day. watching tv, reading up on my drama stuff, doing some housework(finally). haha, and just slacking around. somehow, i'm kinda enjoying my life. oops. but i need money ok, so i'm just going to work and hopefull, i get the job. *cross fingers*

hope everyone's doing well now. chinese new year's coming! its exactly a month away from cny's eve!! whee!! this year somehow, i didn't really shop. nothing much to shop actually. well, tt's good. keep me from spending but i think i'm gonna shop for working clothes soon, so, i gotta start spending again. =X

Hey peeps! Thanks for ur concern. =) i'm feeling much better now. =)

Come to think of it, i haven't taken my medication. =X Anyways, still got this little problem of not being able to walk around a lot. A little walk to 201 and back and i'm already perspiring a lot. Think my whole stamina dropped. So i'm wondering if i should still go for training 2mr. Hm..

Anyways, i'm nonetheless glad that i have a strong immunity. thanks to all the good food my parents provided me when i was young i guess. hehe. =)

Well, guess this is just a thank you update. haha. and to my dearest cindy sister, PLS get well soon, i'm sure many pple miss not having u around. JIA YOU JIA YOU!
and to my REAL sister, who is still not getting her appetite back, hurry get well! =)

And the recruitexpress person hasn't called. should i still have any hope? sigh..

Thursday, January 04, 2007

I AM SICK!!! so i'm rotting at home now. haha.

It all started yesterday, not sure if scruffy passed it to me but i was going to recruitexpress at raffles place for a short interview when my whole body started acting wierd. felt nauseous but couldn't figure out why cause i was good the whole moring. Being an adult and being charged adult fare is no fun. The bus trip from my house to srjc bus-stop(cos i had to teach my sis how to get there) alone was $1.20 something. so all in all, i spent $2.00 plus there and back. =( i miss student concession.

Anyhow, came online to find sabby online and we found out that coincidentally we were going to the same place for interview!! =))) i had a partner! AND she also found out that valr was going ther too! but she didn't meet us in the end lar. So anyways, i was on the train, saw liyi who was getting to work, and i started feeling all uncomfortable. stomach hurt like crazy. I still made it there in one piece though. was so afraid i would just vomit all over the train. Really thought of just going home but i didn't. =) the interview was ok, but the person hasn't called, which i found myself a little lucky as i was feeling really terrible.

rushed home to rest after the interview. must really apologize to sabby for not making full use of the money spent to get us there. went home and slept. it got worse and worse. i started having fever and my legs felt numb, but it was a thousand times worse than numb. ever felt like a thousand needles were peircing into ur leg but can't do anything about it? that's how horrid i felt. really felt crippled for those hours. My mum wasn't at home, and i came home to find my sister wincing in bed. she was sick too. puked all over the school hall(and sadly her OGL) during orientation. =X she really felt miserable. poor girl. while my legs ached, her stomach churned. We only went to the doctors at 7 even though we were home by 4 plus cos my bro wasn't home and my mum wanted to wait for him and so while we were "resting" which in fact we were both groaning which sounded super retarted thinking bout it now, she was watching vcd. i really sometimes wonder how she can seem so nonchalent when BOTH her daughters are in pain. but she said the docs probably only opens at 7 so we could only go then. ok. fine.

by then both of our fevers had gone down a little(or so we think) but my legs still hurt like crazy, and her stomach was just biting into her. the doctor diagnosed us as having gastric flu. Wierd isn't it, her stomach hurts while my legs were mad. So anyways, he said my legs were cos of my fever. i guessed as much. by then at the docs, the pain was unbearable. he suggested a jab, but i really didn't want. thought it can't be much worse. my mum insisted on it cos she said she didn't want us waking her in the middle of the night. Fine, so i thought ok, its just a jab anyways. just go ahead with it. the doc decided to give it to me on the butt. no idea why. i wasn't usually afriad of needles but the one last night just seem really testing, hurt a whole lot. he said it could only work in an hours time. and during that one hour, i couldn't help but cry cos it was excrutiating i tell u. Then i rested a while on the living room sofa cos i couldn't see myself fit to climb the ladder into my bed. Somehow after that little rest, the meds took effect and my legs felt a whole lot better. =) even though my butt still hurt a little.

So piece of advice. Just take the jab. It works wonders. =)
and i puked too. which made things a whole lot better. slept much better after that.
And this morning, i'm feeling a whole lot better! =)
poor butt. haha.. still need to eat meds though. antibiotics are EWW, super duper bitter. =( and eating carbon pills too, hope i can shit the rest of everything else out. =) and i hope the painkillers last. haha. =)
The best part was my mum laughing at me saying for once she felt young, but the nurse there was nice, she said don't play the fool cos its really very painful. =) (even nurses are nicer). =X
Alright, shall end here. i love my white blood cells! whee! and i guess i love jabs too. =X
Now, its scruffy's turn but that poor child still has to work. hope he's ok.

i still am jobless after so long. its really disappointing. anyways, kr told me yesterday that we don't really have to buy a new adult ez link card cos he said that when he took the bus, his ez link card still worked, but instead of the "toot toot" sound, it became only "toot". i mean, u get my point. so i guess we can all still retain our personalised ez link card. =) oh and for those who already bought, apparently sabby said that we could transfer the money so it won't be lost. =)

so now, its all adult fares, how i long to be a kid again. i mean, teenager, there're just so much more benefits and s much less to worry about.

Well, i went for my first "countdown" on 31st Jan 2006. =) it was a "countdown" cos we didn't actually get to count, instead the fireworks sort of told us, it was already 2007. It was fun nevertheless. Went with diana, valr, sabby, and qi xiang for dinner first then kr joined us later on. Ate at breeks for the first time too. and what kr said was true, even though i ate something which is rather small in portion, it was the one with the most trans-fats. wonder why i didn't think about it beforehand. sigh. so we decided to go to the esplanade and walked towards the bridge. guess we were kinda lucky cos it started to rain and we brough unbrellas! =) anyways, we decided to seek shelter under a very good tree at first and waited till the rain subsided a little then moved back to the bridge. by then, the crowd had dispersed a little due to the rain so we were able to take rather good spots. had another hour or so to wait so in the end, we sat on the damp road and started talking. poor qi xiang, he was all alone, but hope he had fun too. the fireworks were brilliant. it really beats sitting at home and watching the tv really.

well, and we were lucky a second time cos train services extended till 1.30 a.m so we all took the train home. i stopped at sime and walked home with kr. long but nice walk. =) hope i worked as much fats as i could then. haha..

anyways, gotta go now. really wanna get to work soone. =X take care everyone!!! see ya soon!
