Looking forward to week 16!
Labour day is coming~~~~!!!!!
My TL's wedding is coming on 2nd may too.
Uhhh I still had no idea how to go to her place.
x(

And I extended my work contract till 31st July 2009.
OMG!
It is like, 14 weeks away!
14 holy weeks!
GRAH!
I shall have a countdown timer to do its job.
And 31st July is Huixin's birthday too. :)

Anyway these are Sunday's BBQ photos.


Do you know why Nic is so happy?


Do you know what Huixin is looking at so intently?


Do you know why Wanqian smiles so brilliantly?

BECAUSE WE WERE WATCHING F1 RACE OF SHANGHAI, CHINA.


Aww man.
Nic forced us to watch it before the BBQ.


So when we were preparing to start the fire, the sky was starting to lose its lights.


That man is Eve's papa.
Hello eve papa.
Red is Nic, white black is Jiahui.


Slacking by the side.


Might as well take photos right!
Wanqian and Huixin.


An unprepared wanqian and a funny faced jiahui.


Why is jiahui hiding behind waniqan?

Okay let's see the food!


Food, food!

Eh? What is that in the corner?


It is a toothbrush!


Brush brush the mushrooms.
Of course it is new, not used!
URk disgusting thought.


Crowding around the pit.


This is eve's backyard kitchen.
Hahaha.






And eve is the cook.

After eating dinner and wanqian's mama's agar agar, we took 3 group photos.
But the main lead is not us!






It is Nic's yellow bag.

On 22 April 2009, I was woken up by this plopping sound of my windows at around 11.18pm. Sounds of slamming doors were heard throughout the whole neighbourhood. Fully awakened now, I rushed to my windows and realised that they were sucked opened due to strong wind. I had never seen experienced such winds before. I thought it might be hurricane! Trees swayed violently, lamp posts rattled, people scuttering for shelters... The abnormal wind continued to howl for about 10 minutes, accompanied by a threatening red sky which started to drizzle and evolved to be a big thunderstorm at 11.30pm.

12 minutes of horror.

Waseh, this is the 1st time in my 18 years of life that I experienced such winds. From newspapers the next day, it was said that the wind speed was recorded to be as high as 90km/hour!
The speed of a car along the expressway!

What explains the sudden increase in temperatures for April and the winds?

Mypaper yesterday wrote that April is the season of inter-monsoon. With solar heating and mild winds, temperatures can increase to 34 degrees. Rains cannot disperse the heat as it does not occur for long or throughout the whole island. For the strong wind, it is due to the influence of Sumatra squall. The Sumatra squall usually occurs between April to September, 3 times per month. .......BLAH BLAH I'm lazy to translate more........ More cases of such winds will occur for 1 or 2 more times, but the wind speed will not be as strong as that on 22 April.

Ok, more such cases will happen!
Screams!

I can't wait for the temperatures to drop to the nice below 30 degrees range.
Hurr.

Let's cool ourselves down with MOS ice milk tea.


It is so milky!

It is week 14 now!
10 more weeks to go!
Wow, it sure sounds fast if I count down like this.

I received my 3rd pay this week, making me a little richer than I was last month.
Ha.

I ate porridges in 5 straight days because of my bad cough.
I had coughing fits everyday, like twice a day during work.
So I got a day MC off for Wednesday, but I didn't use it at all.
Shit me.
My 1st ever MC gotten, but I did not use it!!!!
Even my perm friend said I was the 1st temp ever to come to work despite having a MC.

I had made history.

Whatever.

Work was great, I mean, with all these gifts below!




Qihui got me a pair of chopsticks from her 10 days Taiwan trip.
Thanks!
I am the 1st person in my family with my own pair of chopsticks.
LOL.


My 2nd boss got all the people in my department this aroma therapy chains in her short getaway trip over the long weekend last week.
The above 4 samples were for the temps!
Mine was the brown one, with a scent of gardenia.
Wow, it smells like BREAD!
Hahahaha, no la.
I had absolutely no idea how gardenia would smell like.
Brown: Gardenia, Blue: Ocean, Green: Jasmine, Pink: Rose
See? I had the most unique scent.

So I went home and tested it.

PUUUUUUU!
It smell so indian-ey.
P.S: I am not making any racist comment or have any intention to upset the Indian community.
I smelled the Ocean one and it smelled like Dove soap.
Jasmine would smell like tea, and rose is ROSE obviously, or it might smell like bandung.
Sigh, gardenia is unique indeed.
So I went to spray my Adidas perfume on it which made it smell nice momentarily.
But the perfume smell faded and reverted back to its original smell.
Hurr, I think I will just make it into an ornament.


Puffs and cakes!
Another perm offered these delights during work yesterday.
I chose the chocolate cupcake, top left corner, since my cough is on its way to recovery.
(Wrong choice! Chocolate is so heaty. =/)


SO NICE AND YUMMY!
As Nicole the f1 nut often says,
Work is fattening.

YAY.
And I look forward to next next week.
MAY 1, LABOUR DAY FALLS ON FRIDAY!!!

Holiday mood!
I hope there will be another gift given!
I absolutely love nice surprises, even if it is small, like cupcakes.

BBQ TOMORROW!
And I certainly hope it will rain tonight, because the weather is so humid and sticky today.

GRRR.

YAY!
Today is a public holiday!
I can finally slack and relax at home, holy moley.
I'd never been able to slack on a weekday for the past 13 weeks.

But I came down with sore throat and fever on Thursday.

So my Friday was spent sleeping and walking around like ah-mah because of my throbbing headache and sore throat.
In fact, my brain is throbbing so much right now that I feel like lying down to type this.
Zzz.

Anyway, I can finally show you that how my temps look like.
These photos are from SH.


I looked ghastly.
Anyway the nearest is SH, followed by A, me, the Ace girl.
SH looks like Chinese hor.
She is a Malay!
And she is the oldest among us!
She definitely looks like a 16 year old instead of 21.
Wow!


Posing retardedly.
A, who is flipping the paper, is my Innova 1st batch senior!
1st batch and 3rd batch from the same JC, went to a Chinese secondary school with full white uniform, working together in the same company, in the same department.
♬ It is a small world after all... ♬
I think I failed miserably to put the links in that long ridiculous sentence.


This is my seat! The chair nearest to the camera.


This is treasure hunting time, Wanqian.


It is no fun!
We had to do this back straining thing for once a month.
GRRR.


Do you realise that the ace girl is in the same position in every photo?

-------
Went to Jurong point for sushi buffet for dinner yesterday despite me shaking like a leaf in that restaurant.


This is the sushi buffet restaurant.


Got spider crabs!
That piping hot milo is mine, if you even can find it.
Hot milo served in a japanese buffet restaurant!?
Luckily got hot drinks, or else I'll cough like MAD and curled up on the floor foaming at the mouth.


Chawa-mushi!
I solo-ed 2.
It is not a feat, yes I know.


My family is ridiculous.


What the..

Ya la, I know they are trying to get the money worth.
It is like, near to $40/person for the dinner buffet.
Unlimited hours of eating.
If eat for 1 hour, the rates will be cheaper.


Interesting thing is, there will be a song being played for the diners to grab free ice cream.
♬ Dong dong dong, 1 2 3 ...♬
The dong dong dong ice cream is limited to 1st 20 customers who managed to queue up and got it.
It looked like an orange.
Haha.

Haha, I know that the Ace girl is trying to find a buffet place to eat.
But she cannot find my blog!
LOL.
I think.

I better go and drink some salt water now.
My throat is very sore!

Blahhhhhh.

ITS THE WEEKEND TODAY!
I'm already a 3 month old temp before I knew it.
I can't wait for the following 3 months to pass that fast too!

Yay!

I was super pissed with this week.

Somebody blamed me for something that we are now very concerned about.
Grrr, whatever.

Another thing that peaves me off.

The ace girl went for S_M_U interview yesterday.
She had been ranting for this whole week about her school of biz interview.

"Oh man, how am I supposed to compete with those RJ people in debating?"
"The STUPID temps called me but never send me the details for my interview!"
"I must protect my throat for this Friday if there is a group interview or debate."
"When I off to silent mode, those people missed calls me! Then when I purposedly on LOUD LOUD, nobody called me!"
"When I take half day on Friday, jiayou k! I will be at interview."

WARAO.

I know I shouldn't be jealous because I reaped what I sowed, but she should spare a thought for the people around her.
Mainly me.
I mean, about those quotations above, she had none to worry about.

Firstly, she is a loud mouth.
I see no need to protect her throat what-so-ever.

Secondly, she can debate until that opponent cowers in a small corner and admits defeat.
I totally can see her doing that when she called back to S_M_U to enquire about her pending interview then.
Enquire is too nice a word to use already.

Thirdly, because she called back about twice in an hour, and the email about interview had been sent to her, nobody called her.
So her phone in LOUD LOUD mode didn't ring.
She was demanding a reason at her phone during lunch on Thursday why it did not ring.
"Because they already called you 3 times just now?" I said while eating noodles.
I could see the other 2 temps snorting loudly into their noodles.

SIGH.
But actually, M, the ace girl, is quite a good work friend la.
Just that when it comes to the above, well, I think she lacked a little something.

ANYWAY.
Wednesday was April's fool!
No pranks what-so-ever in my solemn office.
Except one maybe?

There is this C from the call centre who came over to my department.
C: (asking me) Did you retrieve this report just now?
CM: (thinking hard) Erh, no? (Doing the classic move- raising 1 eyebrow.)
C: Oh. (Then she proceeds to ask the other 3 temps the same question, but its a "No?" answer.)
C: Huh? Then my colleague say 1 girl who sits behind Z needs this.

C: Uhm, there are so many temps sitting behind Z! Wait I call her now.
C: (engaged on the phone asking) Ey, which girl? .... A temp girl with long hair and specs?

The 4 bespectacled, long haired temp girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.

C: Eh what! Which one? All 4 the same description! Describe properly lei! (Very paiseh look)
After all the hoo hah, she passed the report to A.

LOL.
Can imagine the awkwardness?
Happy April's fool C!

Today, I went to eat sushi buffet with my cousins. x)


YUMMY.
I tried the chocolate fondue.
MAN. The chocolate is super thick and nice.
OH MY GOD.
xD
All are nice!!
Yummy.







Do these photos look familiar at where I ate the buffet?
Its at JP's japanese food street with a lot of buckets at the side of the shop.



YAY!
I regained my lovee for maplestory.
Argh, but that is like, once a week.
Cures boredom, at the very least.
DO agree.


My tl is getting married on 2 may!
I'm invited.

Oh man, my 1st non relative wedding in my entire 18 years of ku-ku life.

FINALLY the long awaited BBQ is coming!
3rd week of april!
I can awe at all the new gadgets additions.
Not to mention my new handphone pouch which looks EXACLY like my old one.
