I have become one of those people..
I turned down a job offer. Again! I keep kicking myself in the leg, don't I? Bah.
But you can't really blame me. The job pays $6/hr and I have to start work at 8am! And at some ulu pandan place in Kallang.
To do admin stuff. Yes, I know it's those kind of braindead jobs, but you must know I have to use my brain for other stuff.
I quite like the company actually, but the pay is really too low and it starts too early. And being a temp staff, you CANNOT be late. I've experienced it myself.
I'm just not quite ready to give up surfing online until the wee hours or going out and playing until like 12am or 1am.
And I think actually the company offered a higher pay, but R******E****** just want to earn more, so they give us only 6 miserable dollars an hour.
Plus, I don't like pushy people. I already told the lady (very nicely) that it's too early for me, and the pay doesn't justify the "sacrifices" that I have to make. I have long days because I have classes at night.
I don't want to have to compromise my studies. I'm so close to graduation. And I'm still aiming for a Second Upper. *prays*
If they'd offered me like $7/hr or monthly pay about $1300, I really would have taken it.
The pay just doesn't justify for me to wake up so early.
So you can't really blame me! Nah-uh, no no.
You know I'm just trying to make myself feel better for turning down someone. I hate having to reject people. Gah. Because it just makes me feel like one big meanie.
Have class today, this module is actually quite interesting. Looking forward to the project. Or maybe not? Ha ha ha ha ha. Just need to crack our brains for a business idea.
I have become one of those people.. Those people who work for money..
Damn.

Xingdi's 21st Birthday Party!
Before I do that, I must post up this!
Going shopping! Ha ha ha. The day before.
No particular reason, just felt like posting this photo up. Hot pink top from OldNavy.com. My loot arrived (like 2 weeks ago actually)! Wheeee!
Pretty tea lights in plastic cups decorated the little park.
Then we were off to Xingdi's 21st birthday party at her house! Wow! The little garden / park / gazebo / shelter thing was decorated with pretty tealights! All lovingly and willingly (or so I heard) lit up by her very sweet boyfriend, Samuel.
Long time no see Jason Quah Quah Quah.. and Kevin
Really very long time no see. Speaking of long time no see, I received a message on MSN and my friend said, "Hello, ltns."
To which I replied. "What's LTNS? Little tiny nose shit?"
Which I thought was pretty funny. But now that it's typed out, it doesn't seem very funny anymore. :(
No, actually LTNS = Long Time No See
The two siao ehs.
As the birthday girl was too busy to entertain us, these two siao-ehs had to do the job. Ha ha ha ha. And they did a pretty good job too. Crazy one. Like Energizer bunnies.
And Jeffrey Goh kept singing that stupid "Mai-ah-Hee" song! Wah!!! Super duperly irritating. But his "dance" was quite amusing. Ho.
The many faces of Jeffrey Goh Sida the Ultimate Siao-Eh. Ha ha ha ha.
This is Jeff in the midst of doing the "Mai-ah-Hee" song and dance routine. It's really pretty funny. But pity I don't know how to post up video links. If not can show you all. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
The following set of pictures can be quite disgusting / a turn off / R(A)-rated so viewer discretion (is this the right term?) is advised. Otherwise, view at your own risk.
Symptops can include vomitting / temporary blindness / urge to click the red "X" box at the top right hand corner / urge to scroll down FAST!
It's good to know that they've decided to come out into the open about their not-so-secretive relationship. I just want you both to know I'm happy for you. :)
If not, let's all applause to encourage more gay couples to come out in the open. *smile*
Finally time to cut cake! YAY!
The yummy chocolate cake! Oishii ne!
Then there was a big hooha about getting the choir (mainly US) to sing the birthday song. Siao one. Birthday song very difficult to sing ma???????? Ha ha ha ha ha.
We did lead in anycase. And ended off with "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". LOL.
Finally got time to eng-siu us already. Group photo!
The Choir peeps who were there.. From left second row, Zhangjin (aka Ba Zhang), Kevin, Derrick, Eugene, Jason. From left first row, Me me me me!, Xingdi, Jeff.
Xingdi and me!
Then we went upstairs to find the ingredients for our concoction for the Birthday Girl. Ho ho ho. Derrick didn't go! Because he didn't really like him...
Butch Junior! Sniffing me.
Butch Junior is just an over enthusiastic little Jack Russell. Not scary la! H aha ha ha ha.
Xingdi and her boyboy.
They are listening to Jeff's preach about turning 21, life, the ups and downs of adulthood, blah blah blah. And her boyboy was requested to say his birthday wishes for her, IMPROMPTU. And he blushed!
So sweeet!! Awwww..
Time for sabotage!!
Finally the time has come. After Jeff took a super long time talking cock. For Xingdi to drink the Concoction of Life! Wheeeee! Heh heh.
A mix of rice vinegar, beer, garlic chilli (ewww) and HONEY. Hahahah. Very smelly I tell you. Disgusting.
And supposedly they boyfriend is supposed to be the "accomplice" but he ended being sabo-ed as well! Ho Ho Ho. See la, sabo your girlfriend. Heez.
After all that hooha about drinking the evil smelling concoction, I left and went to Mr Tan's house for mahjong! Wheeee! And we actually won! Wooohooo! Like $2.60. So that's $1.30 each.
Ok. A bit bo liaos. But BETTER THAN NOTHING!
Shall end here because Mummy, Zhenting and Lionel are downstairs waiting for me to go dinner. And I'm supposed to be bathing.
Wahahahahaha.
Marky and Selsel, taken during the other players' toilet break. Wahahahaha.
Ja!

All those plans were D-A-N-G-E-D.
You know the schedule I drew up for today? All danged. Except I really did wake up at 11am. But I didn't have lunch at 12, nor did I go to random location for shopping.
Well, I didn't get my pedicure either, reached there too late. Bah. So I ended up with an express manicure because I only reached the nail shop at 10pm. And yes, the manicurist, Celine, very kindly obliged to do my nails for me, even if it's just express.
It still took a good one hour. Plus drying ma.
So I must recommend her shop. It's at Bugis Village, the name of the shop is FingerTip. It's at the corner, near the Katong Dumpling shop. If you want cheap and good service, go to FingerTip!!!!
Express Manicure @ only $8.10, Express Pedi at $15.10
The classic manicure and pedicure, if you do it in a set is $39.
But the best thing about this shop is the service and the cheap nail art!!! Seriously, C-H-E-A-P.
French tip is only $3 extra, the usual market price is $5 for a set of ten nails. Duh.
The most important thing you should try is the nail art. So freakingly cheap, you'll be quite shocked at the price. Really.
If I didn't cut my nails, because of stupid exams, and if I didn't reach the place so late at night, I would have done a really cool nail art. DAMNNNNN.
*note to self: Go earlier next time and don't cut nails!*
Shopped at M)phosis and saw Jiamei! Ha ha ha ha!!! Aiyo she very cute. Duh of course I'm shopping. H aha ha ha, no no, I'm actually working see. But disguised as a shopper. Ho ho ho.
To Jiamei: Wah, woman! Go KTV bo jio hor hor hor hor. I also wanna KTV leh! Find one day we go okie!!!!
There's an LBD so nice in M)phosis! I so want to buy it. $55. Hrmmm.. It's the same price as the tweed skirt that I bought from M)phosis a while ago. Which I haven't worn yet.
Wah, maybe I should wait until like sale again, probably it'll go for HALF-PRICE again eh. Just like the tweed skirt. Ho ho ho ho. *dreams*
Anyhoos, bought the birthday girl's presents. Whee. Hope she likes it. *Glares* You better do la. I walked very long then find one ok.
Even if really don't like also must eng siu me and say nice okay????
Oh yes, I went to White Sands today. Wah, really quite sian. I've forgotten how sian White Sands is. It's shockingly sian.
Hahahaha, yes, that's the only way to describe it. The only interesting shop is perhaps, the warehouse outlet for URS Inc./Elle shoes. Ha ha ha ha. Super past season shoes. Selling at a fraction of the usual price.
Budden, if it's been 4 seasons since, obviously it'll be cheaper.
So exciting, tomorrow (no, technically later) is Xingdi's birthday party! An excuse to dress up and take lots and lots of photos again! Wheeeeeeeee!
Now now, should I go home after class to change? Or should I go straight after class.
No no, I should go home to change.
P.S. Anonymous is spelt as such. A-N-O-N-Y-M-O-U-S.
P.P.S Jacket is pronounced as J-Air-Cat. Not Ju-Air-Cat. LOL. Don't know the symbols la. But something like that la.
P.P.P.S I forgot what I wanted to P.P.P.S about. Ha ha ha ha!!!!
Okay, I'm sleepy. Ja.

Schedule for Friday, 25 November 2005
11.00am Rise & Shine!
12.00pm Hirugohan
01.00pm Leave home for random location to find Chen Xing XingDi Xiao-Jie's present.
03.00pm Hopefully have found her present. *sweat*
04.00pm PEDICURE - Have yet to make an appointment, where should I get my pedicure?
06.00pm Go to random location for Round 2 of Shopping.
I have a good mind to go to Jurong Point again, to use the remaining $20.
But most importantly, MUST DIE DIE find Xingdi's present, because it's her party on Saturday and I cannot go without a present!!!
And good good good news is, SHE HAS DECIDED TO FORGO HER UNIFORM THEME!!!
Wahahahahaha. *thunderous applause*
Good. I can't find my uniform and I don't have any uniform-esque clothes. Ha ha ha. I'll try to dress up okie?
I got back my Strategic Management assignment results. Eeeee. I'm disgusted.
I think I cannot pwray pwray already. Must work hard!!!!! Like I say every semester. Sheesh.
Aiyerrrrr, I'm so disgusted with my results. But then again. It's my fault. I didn't really put in much effort for it. Because I was too excited about going to Shanghai.
I just did my report haphazardly. Oh gawd, I'm so depressed. I must work hard work hard work hard! Ganbatte ne!!!!
Sheet. I'm getting attacked by MOSQUITOES. Damn mosquitoes! Get away from me! *Roars*
Oh ya, my darling food commies, I cannot make it for our dinner date on 2nd Dec. I have practice! How about we do lunch? *blink*
Sad sad. I shall go update my other blog now. Ja people.
All the way to Boon Lay and back
I went to Jurong "blody-far-away" Point yesterday. Alone. Hitori de ikimasu!
And it was a blody 50 minute ride from Tampines. Very far can! Totemo tooi desu!!!
Argh. All because I had $30 vouchers, courtesy of Henry and Qookie.
I had to go alone, because NOBODY was free to go with me. And nobody in their right mind would anyway, unless they had any business in Jurong "blody-far-away" Point. *rolls eyes*
It's quite a boring place actually. But teeming with people. Then I tried to spend my vouchers. Honestly, you'd think it'll be damn easy to find something to spend on.
Well then, you're wrong. Because 1) the shop that sells what I want (in this case, Ba Pin, a shoe shop) doesn't accept Jurong Point vouchers, 2) the thing I want to buy is too expensive (this gorgeous dress I saw at Esprit, which after member discount and using the vouchers 90 freaking dollars), 3) the things I want to buy too cheap to use the vouchers, 4) cannot use to watch movie!
Bah. So you see. I only used $10 of the $30. So I actually have $20 left. Which I seriously don't know what to spend on.
Perhaps I'll return to Jurong "blody-far-away" Point soon, maybe get a (well needed) manicure and pedicure.
Or maybe get a skirt from this shop, Jennyfer. That shop reminds me of This Fashion. Except the prices are in Euros. So it's like This Fashion in Europe. Or something.
But there's this brown flowy skirt that's really nice! $28.90. So that's $8.90 after the vouchers. Hmmm. Maybe I should. If it's still there the next time I go there. I only saw ONE piece there.
Oh wells.
After walking around for 2 hours in circles, trying on heaps of clothes, especially at Esprit (where none was nice, sorry Ms Salesgirl), serious contemplations "to buy or not to buy", I left Jurong "blody-far-away" Point.
And slowly made my way to Parkway. To meet the girls.
Finally, I'm back in the east.
I think hor, the Easties have a look, and so do the Westies, for that matter. Because when I stepped into Jurong Point, I felt everyone looking at me (or maybe I was just paranoid, ha ha) like I was an alien or something.
Or maybe I just looked scared. Hey, it's a big deal to go all the way to the other side of the island by yourself ok!!!!! *roars*
Anyhoos, Parkway is good. East is good.
The Christmas decorations were up when we got there! So nice! And cheery.
Ahhhh.. Christmas.. My favourite time of the year..
Santa and his reindeers.
Very adorable family of snowmen. Er. Snowpeople.
Snow people and selsel and Shuling!
With Zhenting
So cute hor! The snow people!!! Aiyo. We were snapping like some tourists. Ha ha ha. But they're so cute! How can don't take photo! Hee.
Me love snowbaby. Ha ha ha
My favourite is the baby snowman. Ka ka ka. Its nose is made of styrofoam! And it's falling off! Ha ha ha. The rain la.
Santa says "Hi!"
With Cheelin, who is looking at dunno where
Then Ms Teo decided she wants deserts. Melted hot chocolate or some sort. Ha ha ha ha, so I suggested Gelare, figured they probably have brownies or something.
And we saw this! Wheee! Tuesday is half price day!
Tuesday is waffles half price day!!!
We had to wait for our waffles. Boo.
No. 5!
How's the brownie eh?
She doesn't really like the waffles. As you can clearly see. Wahahaha. I'm so gonna get murdered for putting this up. :X
Our waffle with wild strawberries ice cream finally arrived! Yay! But I don't like the fresh cream. Next time don't ask them put liao. And they didn't give us the maple syrup either!
So much for asking! "Do you want any syrup to go with the waffle?"
Yes, I answered. So where is it!!! Do you see any maple syrup on the waffle??? No loh.
Don't ask better. Bah.
But nevertheless, waffle with wild strawberries ice cream! Oishii ne!
These 2 women developed a lot of photos!!!! Dating as far back as August. Ha ha ha. Since Zhenting's birthday party. Ho Ho Ho. Luckily I developed mine already. Hee. $40 ok!
Shuling and Zhenting sorting out photos
Eeks, whose fingers are those! See see see all the nail polish peel off already! Aiyo.
Aiyer, she paiseh. It's her fingernails anyways. Ha ha ha. Can you just remove the remnants of the nail polish properly. Hrmmm.
Shuling had to re-develop this because she had used hers to make my beee-yoooo-ti-ful 16 page birthday card. Ha ha ha ha. Thanks ah.
This was taken donkey years ago.. when we were just year 2s.. Oh the good ole' days.
When I looked dorky.
But wait. I still do. Ha ha ha ha. :P
This week is ending. Classes start on Saturday. Then I'll be fully occupied in the evenings all the way till Christmas Eve.
Aiyo. I think I might die of exhaustion.
The Alumni Choir will be carolling at Parkway Parade nearing Christmas time. I think December something.
Must come and show support ok. Our first public public carolling "gig". Not counting the rather private performances for Flutes At The Fort.
Then again, on second thoughts, better don't come. I will shy. And then sing out of tune.
No no no, don't come. Seriously.
