Cold War

Started taking calls for the 1st time today and its was uber stress~

Overall the callers were good people esp the my 1st ever caller who advice me from keeping him on hold too long and except for an agent who scolded me for not knowing ialsodunnowhat of the motor ins.

I was so nervous for the whole day man that I was shivering all the way from 0830-1730. Worse still, office aircon is like free until I thought I was going to freeze in there. Even 2 cups of teh tarik, 1 cupof milo and another of coffee is not enough to keep me warm... maybe keep me running to the toilet only. Aircon is such a nuisance nowadays! I'm gonna bring a fur coat tmr, LOL!

Ok, gotta read up website to prepare for moving out to battlefield tmr!

Goodnight world. Goodnight to you!

Xue Ping!

Aww. Did quite a bit of shopping today at Chinatown. Bought a dress, 1 top and 2 belts. I'm so tired now.

I'm still craving for my laksa cup noodles. Ok, I know this is so random.

Anyway, I've spent most of my CNY allowance but I'm still lacking 2 tops and a pair of shoes. Sian, there're just so many beautiful clothes ard but are so freaking expensive.

Hais, I'm still thinking about my that $40 black dress, the $29.90 purple flora dress, the This Fashion tube top which has since went missing and the metro red top. Ok, I'm gonna go get that red top tomorrow after work and before Happy Birthday.

Its another brand new week!

Goodnight world. Goodnight to you (:

Happy New Year to ME

I missed SAT today cos I got the test center wrong too late and the freaking administrator told me that there's a test date available in March, which I just found out that there's no test available in Singapore then. The next test is in May. :(

And there goes my SAT results and that 100 over dollars. For the next test in May, there's no way that I can use my lousy results for uni application since SMU's application closes on 2nd Apr and all supporting docs must be handed in by 1 week after that. So, I'm just gonna pay another US$20 over and do it for FUN! Unless I'm so lucky that I'm able to apply for scholarships after first year, that SAT score from May will be BULLSHIT! -.-

Hais, but I can't blame anyone for that carelessness. :(

Anyway, went out with lum and wx after her SAT. Shopped quite a bit and saw this really beautiful dress at far east which I reckon I'll go back and get it after Jan's pay comes. Then we had desserts at Big O followed by more shopping and then dinner at Wang Jiao HK cafe. Oh man, the porridge was... AWWWWWESOME!

Shopping with huang you hui and kat tmr, supposedly for office wear but since 姑姑 brought me lotsa her unwanted office wear when she came over today, I can spend all I want on new year clothes!!! :)

Wells, I guess I just have to pray very hard that A's will be good enough to get me into my ideal course and I'll also need to be content being just another normal student doing normal stuff. Since not everybody gets what he/she wants all the time.

Life as a trainee CSO.

It has been 2 days. Although I'm glad that I started work already, we've have been training training and more training all the way till next tues, and life is nothing easy (yes, ask Cindy). We had to master this really hardd programme which allows us to email, sms, fax, answer calls, access the net - for work purposes only - yesterday. And today, we had a whole day of boring telephone skills - which was freaking, really freaking tough. Its like we can't even 'ermm', 'arh huh', or even say that something is confidential. :(

But it was fun lar, when we sat in to listen to the senior staff answer enquires - all sorts of funny, crazy and kind customers. It can be so nice that Cindy and her senior were laughing all the way while the staff I'm attached to was so fucked up by a crazy customer.

Tomorrow is another boring day studying abt insurance and stuff. And SAT is 2 days away!

Hais,

Thank you for reading. This is Wendy from XXXXXX.
Have a nice day.

finally.

wah tell you one good news.

we're employed. i'm employed. (:

A Walk Down Memory Lane.... for $65 a Day.

Thanks to Faith, I went back downstairs to Jyss today for lessons. Its amazing, like just 3 years down the road and this time I went back not as a student but some sort of a teacher of the day.

It was weird; and the sense of familiarity that I thought I always had with the alma mater had somehow lost. Its like, it has only been 1 year since I last went back and everything has somehow changed already and showhow, so have I. Time really flies, and that made me realised that we cannot deny that we're seriously growing up too fast, and too furious.

So for the lessons, all I had to do was babysit 'cos I couldnt teach and haven't got anything prepared to entertain them given the fact that I was only informed 45 mins before lesson starts. But overall, it was kinda fun - with students laughing over your name everytime they finish greeting you (so i gave them 1 min to laugh then ordered them to sit down), talking back, and even arm wrestling in class. I really miss the bunch of sec1s man. :D

Besides that, went around after breakfast at canteen to have a look at the school and started feeling nostalgia about sec school life once again. Despite having many new additions, someparts remained unchange. I sat down at the tables outside staffroom- the then newly added furniture back in 2004.Those were the days we did our work there during night study, sneaked in tibbits and went for waffle ice cream sessions @ the then new CC. The orange wall was still there - the place where the original cakes cam whored! (:


And there was the 3rd storey study area which seemed rather abandoned now - the MT regular hangout. WN's vandalism was still on one of those benches! Haha.


And that was also the place that house our saturday breakfasts which we tried too hard to keep them discreet which still feel like ytd though not so the same anymore.Then there were the house events -sports days, post exam relays etc. I missed guides too after passing by GG room and seeing the curtain of our times still hanging around - the GG room deco periods, Ikea trips, studying sessions inside, meetings, games, gadget making, the everything.

I missed the people too. The people that werent there anymore - KS, Koh, Chew, Neo.. Its like Jyss doesn't seem like Jyss anymore without them, without 4e4, without people that matters. And suddenly, I miss our East District, our gossips and our classic jokes.


I miss calling Ms Neo -Ah Hong, the PE teacher - Ah Meng and KS, Ah Kuang. I thought abt the encouragement notes from Chew, the lollies from Koh in my yellow sock and how no teachers will ever do that again.

I miss everything so much despite the school being across the road from home. I miss all so much that I don't feel like stepping in back here again and destory my wonderful memories of it.

And money sake aside, thats the way it should be. Some things are best staying the way it is - as memories.

Others, lets keep moving on.

frictionally unemployed.

And so after giving up one interview with really good job prospects after much considerations, I went to another one which called me up after I sent in my resume the night before.

The man woke me up at around 9am, asking if I sent an application to their company for the Admin Support Staff position. Half asleep, I was like ok to everything and the next moment... it was 12.45noon. So I quickly woke up, went online to check which exactly is the position that I applied to that called... checked the place and how to get there on street directory... chose my clothes, changed, chose again and only after like 3 sets i decided what to wear.

The blahblahblah~, I arrived at Bedok interchange.. some bloody 6-7mins walk I was told. Seeing that I've like 30mins before the intw, I took the risk of walking there instead of 229 which I found to be able to reach there. So basing on the little memories of the route of 229.. I walked walked walked for abt 10 mins, I was cheated ok!.. ok then, BLK38, 39, 40.... but where's 42??! finally after failed attempts to find it on my own... I went to ask around. OK.. its ACROSS the road. *diao*

walk walk walk.. ok finally reach blk42 :) its a series of shops under a HDB flat and so here it goes... rather deserted neighbourhood, 1st shop, #01-66 rusty and dirty metal rails down, no signboard, no shop available. #01-64 some shop.... -a number of #01-66 lookalikes-... a grocery shop... a hairdresser... finally.. there's a tuition agency(looking hopeful)... #01-55 forgot the shop(hopeful still)... #01-44 sushi delivery(looking good).. finally...

#01-42 SUPPOSED IT SERVICES COMPANY... guess what I saw.. ok those whom I've already told the story to, sorry.. no more entertainment...

Rusty metal rails down.

No signboard.

Dirty surroundings.

Heard sound of drills.

I WAS FREAKED OUT! MY GOD I TELL YOU!

then I called my mama to ask her what to do. In the end, she got me to ask the sushi pple next door....

me: hello, i was supposed to be here for an intw with the people next door
sushi man: oh i don't really know.. next door? I thought it was a grocery store... (went over to have a look and was shocked at the situation)

then sushi man asked fellow sushi man who is making sushi behind the curtains... DUNNO! TOT IS WAS GROCERY SHOP?!?! then sushi man one said... "try backdoor"

so i walked to the back alley... saw aircon fan spinning.. hmmm... came to a rusty metal framed door.. damn rusty i told you.. saw shoes of construction workers.. was thinking DIE LIAO.. but not wanting to give up since ive went all the way there.. saw a 30+ man greeting me at the door... and a lady... "WOOSH~" .. must be the woman who called 10 mins ago and the man who called that morning :D

still doubting the company.. went in.. ok, aircon-ed office env... started interview.. ask questions ask questions ask questions... and guess what the freaking woman never break the eye contact for a goodwhole 10 mins! I was like "errrrrr" .. then wanted my testimonial.. helloo.. my testimonial still with GO.. too lazy to go back and take.. k then when on the the email test.. FREAKING EMAIL TEST.. helloooo ur company is like some pirate ship/HEI DIAN... typed typed typed.. totally freaked out.. 10 mins the boss say ok enough wendy u can go alr.. we will call you back on monday.

I end my entry with my title, MY FREAKY JOB INTERVIEW.

taking care.

I had a headache of the century this evening. Reckon it was due to the fact that I've slept all the way till 6pm, including the 2 hours I got up to have lunch.

I'm getting sick of this doing nothing. I'm sick of having nothing to wake up for every afternoon. I'm sick of the net, tv, sleeping, reading. ARGGHHHH! I'm most sick of waiting.

I NEED AN AIM IN LIFE!!! I NEED A JOB! most importantly I need the money.
@*#^$*@^$^*$*((^^#*()@^#%$^&*#&!*~((!*R&)#@)($*(*$

Luckily there's still pay to look forward to. Off to sleep, again.

a girl's best exercise.

Had dinner with the pink apron girls and bosses on friday and man, it was AWESOME. We had like 500 over dollars worth of seafood at nosignboard esplanade then about 50 dollars worth of icecream and gelarecitylink. Believe me, I'm still gaga over the pepper crab. :D

It was shopping shopping shopping with mama on saturday afternoon. We went around bugisstreet... shopped shopped shopped.. saw many retro dresses... very tempted but didn't get any there. Then we went off to Chinatown. Oh man, its a new shopping paradise!! :D Mama bought me a red retro flora dress and a pair of black tights. Hais, I mustn't shop anymore before I get my pay cos the more I shop, the more I think about my pay and the fact that I'm still unemployed. :( :( :(





Arh now, k800i or d900 ?

not a brand new start.

I seriously think I'm a dead and more than just a piece of shit. The 3rd day of the new year is just about to end as I finish this sentence and nothing has changed. I'm still out of job, still eating into my precious savings and still waiting for a stupid phone call.

I gave myself excuses that perhaps its the 1st day of school that things need to warm up a bit before they would call me up for the job until wei told me that she called the school. I was like FUCK?! The person supposedly told wei that all the relief positions were filled up already... in like 1 working day after she called to ask me to register my application??! AND SHE WANTED ME TO REGISTER MY APPLICATION... cos she needed people desperately.. but HELLO! Just when I've all my plans beautifully laid out, this kind of fucking news get to me... HAIS!

Jobs are really freaking irritating. Oh man, how I wish I am going for army too....

I seriously hate waiting. I'm gonna call them tmr!
