whee i should be sleeping now... tml i will be working... but i'll just blog anyway :)

this week was Chinese New Year week. This year's CNY is earlier than normal CNY. The visitation of relatives and everything was pretty boring, and i realized i talked lesser.. much lesser already to my cousins or non at all... Its rather saddening for me, as i used to be rather close to some of them and now how we drifted apart as we grow older. However i had an alright time at my mum's younger brother, my uncle's place on the 2nd day of CNY. Got to have 'fun' with some nephews and nieces, they're rather adorable. i think i kena bullied by a nephew lor LOL.. here are the CNY photos :)

the hong baos i got were alright, but not much ba :)
but i thank God for the new year :)

just received the JAE results posting today. at 1st was rather torned between my poly choices and lasalle art sch.. the results stated i got my 1st choice which was the games designing at NYP. I was Feeling really vexed about it. As a singaporean, we have the ingrown thingt to take the save route, thus my mind veered in a way for me to want to go poly like everyone else. I feel that somehow art school seems to be the right choice, though risky, it is worth the risk to take. though i'm still not really over about the vexed issue but i'm feeling much better as of now. In life there are risks. Being creative there are risks. To succeed ther are risks involved too. Well my decision in going to art school will then test how much of a risk i will choose to take to follow my heart. Thank God i'm a christian! Thank God that He gives me faith and paves my way. Thank You my good Lord!!

yoz.. i'm back from some shopping today. these week i've been feeling irritated with work, lack of communication with them them had a brush with them in a way or another. but at least i receive a little ang bao and my little last week's pay yesterday.

My O levels results came out the other day, at 1st i thought i got around 20points, i was disappointed with myself until wilson called and asked about my points, and also the individual subject points. then he calculated for me and my L1R4 turned out to be 17points. was uber'ly' happy! i got to hit my initial aim of getting either 16 or 17. hoping to get 18-20 was my later aim as i thought i will fail my maths and get over 20 haha. God is great, always merciful, i somehow feel He has given me more than what i deserve! all praises unto Him! 17points isn't fantastic but at least i got my aim, was very very unexpected i must say haha. Jia you fellow darksides for our bright future ahead of us! in the end it isn't very much on our cert but its our abilities and God's love and grace that will carry us far in life =)

Last sunday tiff, wei qiang and i we went shopping at bugis junction. it was fun, but yet rather stressful at the same time. i was afraid of dragging the shopping time by just standing in the shop deciding which shirt to buy lol. In the end, i bought 2 buttoned shirts with sleeves that can be buttoned up and down from Vintage.FB. Now to think about it, the shirts are to my liking haha. the Fun darkside Joseph bought a nice vest ( quite expensive =O!! ) i think it suits him very well, glad we both got the things we wanted. tiff did not buy anything as she was mostly window shopping... and the female clothings the shops sell there are very nice, as well as the price LOL. thanks for the company tiff and qiang! here are some random pictures i took of them tt day haha.

then today, i went with my sis to do some last minute shopping and in the end i spent more than my budget ( i always bring more money than needed just in case for my 'emergency' shopping urges haha ^^. i bought i belt, 2 pairs of pants from IP.Zone that i really like ( one pair of pants i bought then exceeded my budget ha ) and also a red colour vest from Messy. i'm happy i got what i like, will save more money for future clothings. It is good, always good to improve oneself, i think also what we wear. after i get enough clothings, i'll think of ways to manage my hair lol and other parts where outlook lies. it feels great to think life in an interesting manner. There are so many things yet to get used to, discover and be excited about. i thank God for bringng me thus far even through periods i thought i couldn't manage, couldn't bear any longer, i know that He's always there. Thank you Lord!

lastly... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!! :D :D

i'm sitting at infront of the lappie... at 2am plus when by right i should be asleep... i feel totally wrecked... all started by the money issue. i feel as though i'm drained, drained of tons of my energy this past period when i was working... and now to know i will not get a single cent in return. partially because of my fault. i backed out of the agreement i signed. i'm very exhausted, can't take more of the 12hr working hours... totally dreadful, crappy, look crappier as well... hardly any personal time at all. i feel as though working this job is very redundant even thought there are many things i have learnt from working as a sampler - not as simple as it sounds ok!*.

the good side of working as a honey sampler ( or whateva u call it - is i am made to approach ppl/ potential customers continuously... and almost kinda forced myself o up my EQ, till the extend when i'm feeling totally crapped up still got to push myself to be polite to ppl, even when i'm uber tired and don't feel at all like it. i've learnt to try to endure, to stand for loong hours, slowly learning tactics to not feel aching etc. standing at tampines interchange i was sweating throughout the whole time already... so... working like that without running is already a tiring workout already. i realize by now why i see people ushering or working standing like to put their one or 2 hands behind their back is not just look more composed but also it helps to lessen the shoulder ache when one stands too long. through this job, i got to meet nice work people as well.

the downside of this job is 12HRS!!! before i worked this job, when i 1st heard about the timing for this job i was kinda thinking who the heck works 12hrs everyday?!! i thought it was totally insane, now i still think it is quite so, just.. maybe lesser. i got to do cleaning job when they did not tell me previously that i had to do these kinda things and i saw a cockkroach running out when i did the wiping of floor at one corner today. don't they have the freaggin hands to even wash their own cups?? they are perm workers, and they don't hire the part-time workers... still we are treated like their maids.

the other crappy part of doing this kinda work is that i get to see the so-called lame or even uglier side of singaporeans. people can be so rude when i already asked my kindest tone, gesture if he/she wants to try a sample, they just walk past slowly without replying, as if i'm some ghost in Ghost Whisperer show. another lame but abit amusing sight is that i see MANY people using handphone as an escape to avoid our requests. when they see samplers* approaching they just swipe out their handphone and call someone. it happens so many times till i know its not a coincidence that they just really needed to use the phone at that time. to me it all seemed ridiculous lol. its funny though haha... its really easy to see a person's character if its to the good to bad side when you approach to a person when working my kinda job. the good ones will smile widely and say thank you. the normal ones will just smile and look away, they'll nod when i say thank you at the end. the bad ones will just walk past, frown at you. the worse ones will shrug you off saying ,' bu yao bu yao!', or ' don't want, don't want', impolitely. but it gets frustrating when people turn a deaf year even when i approached then and asked then loudly politely. haiz...

i just feel it is a nice job, but its too long a job. its only suitable for people who need cash to get by without better solutions or workaholics.

i'll just till here today... still got tons to type the next post.. maybe..

life's full of uncertainty. the only certainty i get is from God. thank you God, thank you for your blessings.
