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.
ZZzz.
I'm a real ku-ku and gundo person.

Yippee!

IT show!
All the computers in my house, yo!
In terms of age.



My 1st and only desktop computer gotten from Starhub internet promotion!

I'm using this laptop now!
Gotten it from Starhub internet promotion too.
Good strategy they use. x)


My sister's laptop which she got it for her poly studies.




Mini laptop!

1 of the new additions gotten from IT show few weeks ago.


Another new 1!
YAY!

But my brother insisted he wanted it.
DAMN.
This looks somewhat similar to mine hor.
Brand loyalty.
x)




YAy!
Anyway, I love soft cookies.



YUMMY!
But it is heaty.

Speaking of soft cookies, I remembered an incident that happened in the span of 3 days.
Warao, 3 whole torturing days.
On tuesday...
Section Boss: Hey, try these chewy biscuits I bought from Korea!
SB distributed the biscuits to all the perms, turned around facing temps, and put back into the food drawer as if we were transparent.
On wednesday...
SB: (took out chewy biscuits and distrbuted them) Yesterday got try right? Very nice! Not available in Singapore. Korea biscuits all chewy chewy one.
Again she forgotten us.
On thursday...
The same freaking thing happened.
SB: (took out chewy biscuits and distrbuted them) Ey, must eat them all k. Don't leave them laying in the food drawer. Very nice to eat one. The chocolate filling super nice in the chewy biscuits.

WARAO.
3 whole days of suffering.
I WANT THE CHEWY BISCUITS.
Zzzz.
Discrimination between perms and temps.
Nooooooooooooooo.

&


Work is totally fattening.

TGIF tomorrow!

YAY!
Every week passes damn fast.
Schooling days never passed that quick before.
This whole week is so IT filled.
Lets see.

I once said to Wanqian that if anybody got the newest Nokia XpressMusic 5800 phone,
I'll WORSHIP that person.
WELL WELL!
Guess who got it.
xD
5800!!!

I sounded as if I got it.
ITS EVE!
She got this chio phone.
Omg.
WORSHIP HANDS DOWN TO THE MIGHTY EVE.
Geeez.
It is the latest craze man.

I finally believe that there is love BUY at first sight.
My perm friend, J, saw the newest Can0n camera on the intranet yesterday.
Then she got it right after work.
Oh my god?
Impulse purchases.
She should have waited and place her order with the company instead of going to a normal shop to buy one.
Awww.
Anyway, this is the one she bought.

Canon IXUS 95 IS
Click on it to check out the web. :)

Highlights:

• Compact and stylish IXUS design
• 10 megapixels CCD image sensor
• 3x optical zoom with optical Image Stabiliser
• Face Detection Technology, Anti-Blur & i-Contrast
• 2.5-inch PureColor LCD II

She bought the hot pink one.
COOL.
I'm tempted to buy one, but I still got the new Nikon camera laying around the house.
So yah.
x(

NEW LAPTOPS IN THE HOUSE YO!
Thanks to the IT show last last week, my house got 2 new laptop members.
Please meet them!
...
...
...
...






Uhm, they are not exactly in the house YET.
LOL.
Well.

But anyway, just one more day!!!!!
It will be friday~~~

WARAO Nicole, you damn good lorr.
At Perth.

I had my 1st ever morning walk around the compounds today!

It was fun to walk around 9th, 8th, 4th and 1st floor to greet "Morning" to all the other staffs working here.

I never knew that so many people worked here.

Yay, an eye opener for me!

My team leader told me something today.

TL: Mei mei, today billing very little only. Later must do filing okay?

CM: (thinking) YESSSS. FINALLY A LITTLE ONLY.

CM: Orh okay.

TL: Nah, go do billing now. (Hands over a stack)

CM: (thinking) ZZZ. This call a little? It is well over 200 pieces!

I don't know what to expect when she is going to say:

"Meimei, today got A LOT of billing."

How about a thousand pieces? x)

Snorts.

My section boss came back from Korea after her training last week.

YES, she spent a week in KOREA.

OMG?
=.=

I thought she would bring back some gifts.

Or even some korean kimchi, or even candies.

NAH.

JUST TODAY, I found out that she is a cat.

SO NIAO. (Hokkien)

Grrrr.

I think I'll be fired if anybody uses technorati on me.

I had survived yet another week, making me a 2 months 2 weeks temp.
YAY!
Still got a long way to go.
Sian.

After waving goodbye to my 终极一家 on wednesday,


I watched 霹雳MIT on thursday.



It is about mysteries around in the school compound.
Got 炎亚伦 sia.

Then today, I can watch 愛就宅一起.



Wanqian said I'm getting more idol crazy nowadays.
WELL.
Thanks to my no-life life, you cannot blame me!
Other than interacting with papers, I got in touch more with other papers.
It is too paperwork already.
(Pun intended.)
Everyday I will come home, eat, bathe, watch TV, sleep, work for 9 holy hours, come home....
Stupid cycle.
Imagine it to continue for at least 4 more months.
HOLY.
I want a pay increase with the amount of work I'm handling now.
It is unfair to see another people earning the same pay as me when their same job is slackier than me.

Don't freaking compare how your comaparatively relaxing job to mine in front of the hectic and easily-pissed chuan.
Thanks to whoever it might be, but certainly not my buddies.

Hee.

SO NOW, I can only indulge myself in idol dramas, internet (weekends), and movies?



And nobody is free yet to watch DMC with me.
Sigh, yes I'm referring to 1 person.
x(
And that person is going to Perth!
It is the very same person who is the part of the cause of the ever-postponing BBQ.
HAHA.
Good lorr.
I only went to Thailand, China and Malaysia.
More Malaysia trips than anybody I know.

Speaking of China, I can show you some photos I took in secondary school.
I signed up on an exchange programme to China.
SO daring.
And I had never released these photos before.
Waseh.

I went here before okay.


Scenic hor. You can't find a more relaxing place here in Sg.


And I went on the Huang Pu river.
IS IT?!
What river is it.
MAN, to think I took geography for 6 years already.

And to YINGXIAN who is currently in China (and the only reader of my blog who tags), here are something nostalgic to cheer you up!







Due to censorship, I cannot feature the uber-nerd me with the gorgeous YINGXIAN.
I wouldn't lose out to the nerddddd him.
Seriously.
DON'T IMAGINE!


2 of my childish friends and me bought Kinder Joys.
I bought 3 of them, $1.60 each.
MAN. I could have gotten myself a handphone pouch already.
1 of my childish friends said that I can display them on my work desk.
Pretty awesome, huh.

That is ridiculous!

You might have realised that there is nothing important in this post.
Yeah.

So there.

IF you think that your A level results are very good, think again.

I'm suffering from Post A level results depression.

It had been more than 1 week that I had received my results.

But WHY only now that I started to feel depressed?

In my workplace, MANY asked about my results.

My temps, team leader, boss, 2nd big boss and even the cleaning auntie.

Many stabbed my vulnerable heart by asking the same question repeatedly:

"How's your results?"

-------------

TL: Ey! Mei mei, how is your results? How many A, B, C, D you got. Haahah, got until Z?

CM: B C D lor.

TL: Ohh.. Average lar. Can. How's your maths?

CM: (...) Uhm, D.

TL: Aiyo. What course you want to go? What university? Remember the recent incidents arh. Choose properly. HAHAH.

(My 18 year old temp entered the scene.)

TL: HERE COMES THE ACE GIRL! Woo!

CM: Hahah. (Claps along reluctantly as my friend M walked by with a smile at the hoo-hah.)

------------

Cleaning lady: Xiao mei, you got your results right? Can go university mah?

CM: Zzz, try lor.

CL: Hahah, yah go try. Good lor, get results already, no need worry so much.

CM: ...

------------

2nd boss: So how is your results?

CM: (taken aback) Uh, average only.

2nd: How did M do?

CM: She all A and B.

2nd: You don't have meh?

CM: I all B and C.

2nd: Oh.. I think you can enter engineering, but I don't think you will want it right. (laughs)

CM: ZZZ. Yah.

2nd: Try for private universities lorr. Never give up chances of trying into a government university.

CM: Sure.

--------------

After these 3 conversations on THAT fateful monday right after that black results day, nobody mentioned another word about A level grades.

UNTIL TODAY.

TL: Mei mei! You enrolled into university anot?

CM: Uh? Yah apply already.

TL: What courses you choose? What university you choose?

CM: Choose all universities lorr. Courses randomly choose, since my results.. Yah.

TL: Oh.. So you might get into those poorer universities lar?

CM: Uhm, courses.

TL: ORh. Never mind. Get experience, then go work earn $$.

CM: Yah lor, if cannot go into university then deicde.

TL: Hmmm hmm yah.

(My 18 year old temp entered the scene.)

TL: EY! THE ACE GIRL! What courses you choose?

CM: HAHAH. (walks away while hiding my sinking feeling in my stomach.)

-----------

I HATE IT.

Of ALL hundreds and thousands of candidates, why am I stuck with a clever chap?

WHY am I always the one who is clapping for other people who did well?

WHY am I always at the loser end?

WHY am I always being consoled instead of being praised by others?

WHY?!

Sour grapes, stupid, serve me right, whatever you want to say to my face.

SERIOUSLY, IF you think that your A level results are very good, think again.
