Happy Valentine's day.


Photographer: Wanqian

She got this pink rose from her work mate.
Nicee. x)

The 18th Valentine's day spent alone!
Muhahah. No need to pity me, thanks.
I went out with my beloved friends, Nic and Wanqian!
Hmmm, something sounds wrong in that sentence.

ANYWAY, we went out for NTU talks at Suntec.
Saw loads of crowd, and of course, Innovians!
Hi Yunxuan and gang.
Hi Eunice and other IJC friends!
I didn't manage to see fr34ks though. Sian.
I was craning my neck in hope to see some nanhua-rians, but sigh.

Got this nice plastic bag from NTU.
I must admit carrying this around the place makes me look pretty intelligent.
*roars with laughters*
Looks like only mah, can't I even DREAM about me being a NTU student?
Please let me bask in that glory for a couple of minutes.
It won't hurt.

Sigh.

I was particularly restless throughout the 3 talks I attended- business, admin matters and humanities.
WELL, maybe this is a sign that I might not be a student of NTU or some other friendly universities in the future.
TOUCHWOOD, many of my friends said to the pessimistic me.
"Look on the bright side!"
"Sure can do it one."
"Results fix de, don't think too much."
"Just accept it, there will always be a way out."

I must admit, I made up the last sentence myself.
Hhaha.

It is NOT very funny about this kind of things, you know.

A piece of paper determines where you end up for the rest of your life.
You might be working for 8 whole years and still remained at that postion, when some university newbie is getting a higher pay at a higher job position than you.

- WanQian

HORRORS!
Well, since I didn't put in much effort for my big A, I should not get my hopes up too high to enter an university.

SO I SHOULDN'T BE WORRYING ABOUT MY RESULTS ANYMORE!

You reap what you sow!

IT IS FIXED AND NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE IT.

So don't go doing nonsensical stuffs to soothe your disturbed soul.
Mainly me, myself and I, will go day dreaming about entering a university.

I think I am going crazy.
What a big, empty talk about universities.
I hope Pet Society can finish their maintainance ASAP.

TGIF!

I'm not scolding vulgarities here. x)
Thank god it's friday!
I hope to have a good weekend ahead.
I'm a 1 month 1 week old temp!
Have not collected my pay slip!
Argh! I can't wait till Monday. Hehhe.

It's Valentine's day tomorrow.
And guess what!

Canon gave me candies!

These candies were featured in Mypaper on Tuesday.



The candies taste nice. xD
Super fruity.
If you guys are interested, the shop is located at Central, basement.
Heee. I don't know where is that though.


Some sweets were customised!!!!
Canon delights + Canon <3 U
Super nice!

I totally can't wait for more upcoming events so I can receive more gifts.
Muahaha. My good 1st job. *grins*

Wishing you all...
a
Happy Valentine's day.


&


a
Happy Black Friday.
Welcome to Friday the 13th of Feb.
We are goinf to have a Friday the 13th in March too.
Great.
I wore a flamboyant red polo tee hoping to avoid any disasters coming in my way.
I'm joking.

There is this conversation in the office today.

L (My team leader) : OH BOSS! This swiss chocolate cannot eat liao.
Boss: Why? expired is it? (takes the chocolate)
Boss: Hey Z, if the packaging is still intact, we still can eat it right?
Z: Ya, should be okay. It is not opened yet.
Boss: Then L, can eat. It looks fine to me too.
L: But it expired on 3rd Feb lei. (looking at a technician nearby) Hey, want to eat nice chocolates?
Technician: OHH NOOO. *waves frantically* Thanks.
Boss: Haiya, can eat la. Tomorrow is the weekend, if food poisoning just spend time in the toilet lor.
Z: Ya lor, today friday can la.
Boss: Come, we 3 eat chocolates. Don't waste. We can die together.
Z: Heh. Ya die together. At most LS. Today friday!
L: BUT TODAY IS BLACK FRIDAY!
CM: HEH. *snorts loudly*
Technician looks over with a funny face.

OOops.
I should not have laughed that loudly because I'm doing my work.
Anyway they went ahead and ate the chocolates.
L said the shells one tasted damn nice somemore.
LOL.

Here is the sequel to my multiple names.
Both ChuanMEI and ChuanHUI have dissolved gradually over the week.
But there are some hints of ChuanMei hidden within my ChuanMin.
Here goes.
"ChuanMEIN, help me photocopy.."

Sigh.
ChuanMEIN.

I'M A 1 MONTH OLD TEMP NOW!
Heez. But there are still 5 more months to endure. Hai.
And A level results are coming sooner than that.
Whatever.

Let's rant about work.
I worked OT today. Damn!
Its so BORING.
I dealed with ALL these files today.


Horrors!

I'm so dead from flipping through all these files to retrieve some papers.
GAH! Work is boring.
I want to receive my pay ASAP to keep me going on.
Hai.

Anyway!
I saw this when I was munching biscuits on thursday.


See the white specks?!
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?
I hope it is not worms, for god sake.
GRAH!
I think they are rice heh. But in biscuits?!
Gross.

Actually, I had nothing much to talk about.
Let's see..
How about my mode of transport!
Instead of paying 45cents, I'm stuck with $1.89 EVERYDAY.
For the rest of my 5 months at least.
I'm going to WALK to work soon. Sigh.

I had to top up my ez link every 2 days!
That's alot! In the past of paying 45cents, I can last for a month or more with $20.
GRRR.
Now I understand why adults want to sit at every possible empty seats.
Must get their money worth.

AND I don't like to sit in the train.
Even when there are a lot of empty seats available, I'm still very reluctant to sit.
Why? Siao is it?
I think it is very stressful to sit.
Heh. Sounds nutty.
It seems like an obligation to give up your seat to those who are more in need of it.
Well, I'm not here to complain about the needy people.
It is just.....

I hope you know what I mean.

COMPLAINS!
This happens when price discrimination is against me.
I love paying 45cents.

The sequel to Chuan Mei

Remeber what I told you in the previous post?

My name is changed to Chuan Mei, thanks to my team leader.

Hohum.

On friday, an interesting incident happened which changed my life for the upcoming 5 months!

This is a conversation in the office.

J (perm) : Haiyo, you all ar (temps) all looked so untidy. The hair all so messy.

Except Chuan Hui la, hair tied up one.

CM (thinking): Chuan Hui?!
J: Eh? What Chuan Hui! I always call her name wrongly. Chuan Min larh! laughs*

L (My team leader): What? What is her name? Chuan Mei or Chuan Min? (Looking at me with a funny look)

CM: Chuan MIN.

L: Then everytime I call you Chuan Mei you come here? (With a funnier look on her face) How come?

CM: Heh, never mind la. (Laughters burst out from all the temps)

Then I blushed.

DAMN. I hate this part right here.

(I suddenly thought of Nic humming this song from Pussycat dolls.)

Z (another perm): Wah, you found another friend already, A!

Same as you one. Turn red red.

CM: ... *rushes to cover face.

A: She was from the same JC as me mah, so sama sama.

(She started to turn red too.)

ARGH. I hope My team leader will call me the right name on Monday.

YAYY! NO MORE CUHAN MEI!

Wheeeee.

But Chuan HUI?!

Sigh.

Pet society~

This is 1 of the rare times that I'm actually going to do a full word post!

On a workday too!

Work is less hectic as compared to January, because it is the start of February.

But I can sense doom coming along this week as the papers start to stream in.

Ackk.

But most of the work are more or less catching up!

So am I!

I still can't believe that I'm going to be a 1-month-old temp.

Infant.

xD

SINCE this is a random post, I shall talk about random things.

As I was travelling to work every morning, I think about myself.

LOL.

What are my main characterisitcs?

- Ridiculously Long hair! Ponytail! EVERY DAY, HOUR, SECOND of my mundane life.

- Spectacles all day long, even in my sleep. Heh.

- Wears a white watch as her only accessory.

- Wears clothes for comfort, not for style.

- Thinks it is a bother to doll myself up.

Which is a shame, I think. Hai.

Ahaha!

Let me do this on... Nicole perhaps.

What are her main characterisitcs?

- Shoulder length hair! Trim trim.

- Toothy smile and grin. Super white, like Huixin.

- Adores sophisticated food.

- DB DB all day long.

- Nonsensical and wild at times, only around close friends.

- A F1 nut who is already looking forward to the start of F1 season, although it is only Feb now.

And Wanqian!

I know you will be seeing this.

Don't giggle too loud, heh.

- Super straight hair, without rebonding.

- Carries woman-ly bags, unlike those unsightly backpacks Nic and I always carry.

- Puma shoes lover. <3

- Veggies!

- Super quiet and shy. Only Nic the F1 nut can make her LOL.

And I think I shall stop this lame thing before you hit the red button at the top right hand corner.

Another random thing.

My name is OFFICIALLY changed to Chuan Mei.

HEHEH. I can't stop laughing when I think of this.

My team leader lo, calls me Chuan Mei!

And I never bother to correct her, because she might forget and call me Chuan Mei again.

BUT TODAY, my boss calls me Chuan Mei too!

NOOO!

Another mistake!

6 months of "Chuan Mei"s will make me bonkers!

I might not even react to Chuan Min anymore.

But I do agree I get to laugh for the upcoming 5 months when ever I'm being called.

Horrors.

CHUAN MEI!

CHUAN MEI!

CHUAN MEI!

......

Sigh.

I went to my uncle's restaurant yesterday again!

xD
oh boy, the place is filled with so many customers that we cannot find a seat.



4 branches already!
Although the names are funny, but they are auspicious in chinese.

Heez.
I'm bored at home doing nothing.

But I don't look forward to working too.
I doubt I'll have anymore interesting activities on next friday like all the past fridays of fun.

BOOOOO.

I had already survived past the 3rd week of work!

But, the fact that I'm starting work on 初三pisses me off.
And also the fact that I'm working on 初四pisses me off.
Not neglecting the fact that I'm also working on 初五pisses me off.
I can continue to rant and grumble ALL the way to 初十五about work!
Hai.

Monday was 初一, so I was in Malaysia celebrating with all my relatives.
But we were back to Singapore by Tuesday night.
ITS NOT FUN!
No fireworks, no atmosphere...
It's more like a normal gathering.
CNY came SO fast, and ended THAT fast too. Grr.
I didn't take any photos in Malaysia at all.
Yahoo!

But here are some relevant CNY photos.

Yupp, I ate the Family feast by KFC.


My parents bought these zodiac gourds from Chinatown.
They are now hanging by the side of the window.
Too bad that you can't see them.
Hhah.


And what is CNY without mandarin oranges!!!
This looked like Ultraman somemore!
This mutated orange was drawn by me, because I noticed how the forehead resembles Ultraman's.
HEH, if you know what I mean.




HONG BAOS HONG BAOS ON THE TREES!
A few of my relatives went to my aunt's house on wednesday to pluck hong baos off the trees above.
Of course there are money inside those hong baos.
1st: $168, 2nd: $128, 3rd: $108.
Or is it $88? Well I don't know, they were all plucked off by another person.
Grrrr, lucky.


I only got $10 with that chinese note: HAHAHAH, you didn't get the big prize. Better luck next time!
It was written by my aunt.
LOL.

My very same aunt held a BBQ yesterday.
And she added new hongbaos to the trees with additions of 礼篮s！

WOW.
So we were entitled to have a 2nd chance.
x)
And guess what I'd got!


HOHOHO.
I got the 2nd largest hamper.


Look at the door!
The 1st prize was being carried away.


Look at the number of people in my aunt's house after BBQ.

SPEAKING OF BBQ,

FOOD, FOOD!


Relatives gathering.

Then at night, we had a impromtu birthday celebration for my uncle.

Fruit cake!




Don't ask about the white specks.
HAI.




Opening the champagne.


And was divided into THAT many cups.


I sipped some, thought it smelled like Jolly Shandy.
LOL, but its so bitter.
BlAHh.


Fruit cake is 1 of the few cakes I can totally finish.


And my cousin gave me this mouse pad!
Maybe I can bring it to work!

SIAO.

I had made it through my work for the 2nd week.

Hurrays~! I never thought I can even survive for 2 weeks without my friends.
Hai. Maybe I should decorate my empty, plain desk with this?


Yes I think I should, because I'd made it already.
Bwahhaha. xD

Speaking of the very abrupt Chinese New Year around the corner.
My workplace was bustling with technicians when I reached the office.
I was shocked as I never get to see them at all throughout the past 2 weeks!
It turns out that they are waiting for hong baos.

HONG BAOS!!!

I was very much delighted to hear that from my colleague. Heh.
So I asked 1 of the longer working temp, A, about past year's CNY hong bao giving session.
A: Oh, we each received a hong bao lorr.
Me: How much? Should be a lot bah, since it is a big company..
A: NO LA. $4 only.

.....

Well, $4 is enough for me to travel to and fro Harbourfront with just a few cents left.
At least got something right. Heh.
So I waited for the hong bao session to begin at 8.30.
I knew exactly when the hong baos had arrived because the technicians 'woo wahh ahahah' when the oranges + hong baos arrive.


Here it comes! Hong bao and all!

I was so happy. It was only my 2nd week here!
I'm glad that I came before CNY starts.
*sniggers*


HONGBAOHONGBAOHONGBAO!
My 1st hong bao of the year!

I did not open it until the moment I reached home at 6+.
No halfday for me, yes. x(
Anyway, they said it was $4 last year. I hoped it stays the same!
In the end...
I only found 1 purple note.
Not 2!

BAHH.

Then I saw this article just now.


Auntie, you are more lucky than me can!

Hurr. Like what Nic and WQ said, at least I've gotten something.
To be on a positive note, I can travel to Harbourfront!
Cannot come back!
Duh. I think recession really hit us hard. But it is the thought that counts.
I think.

Enough about HONG BAOS.

Did I say that I love lions very much?


They are super cool.
What is CNY without them?!
Nice, I love lion dancing.

ON A RANDOM NOTE,


My pet society in Facebook. Heez.
I totally love naruto.


I got this stupid brinjal from the gachapon machine.
DAMN, it is not the cutsey dumplings featured on the panel!
STUPID BRINJAL.
I'm still childish. HEH.


I'm stuck on this 终极一家。
Although this ended in 2006?!
Damn, I'm a slowpoke.
Nevertheless, I like this show although the storyline is abit fantasy.
Hahha.

Muttons to midnight CNY version!!!!!

Compiled by yours truly.

In front is ang pow excuses, behind is a cny song dedicated to all uncles & autnies!

They sang quite audibly, so I do not have to write down the lyrics.

XD

P.S: The $2 part is not related to my $2 hongbao.

I think.

I've been working for a week.

OMG?
Yes yes yes. It sounds unbelievable, but i survived 1 week of ordeal at Canon.
I'm working on a 5 day basis, from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
All thanks to Qihui who got me this job!!!
Guess I owe her one. xD

Anyway, I've good colleagues!
There are 4 temps including the noob me.
And 1 of them was from Innova too! Phew.
What a coincidence right. x)
But she is my senior, so we have limited topics to talk about.

There are some interesting things that I believe are interesting. (?)
-There's a Canon song being played before we start work at 8.30.
It serves the same purpose of a school song.
It is NOT cannon music though.
-There'll be a morning crew that will parade around offices to greet us to start the day positively. Imagine the choruses of "good morning"s at the office.
-When we are nearing lunch time, there will be a tinkle to signal us to go off.
-And when its time to balek kampong, there is a goodbye bell that will ring at 5.30 SHARP.
-We also have Passion day on Monday (need to wear red), Casual day on Friday(dress down day).
Am I revealing too much information?

Interesting things aside.

I'd done 1 week of billing, matching, filing and retrieving..
I'm still unsure what I'm exactly supposed to do though. =S
But thinking of the $$....
I hope I can survive my next 5 months and 3 weeks of mundane job.
URKK.

Yesterday went to eat dinner with my cousins at my uncle's restaurant again.

新年怎么可以少了捞鱼生？


捞了一团糟。


盆菜


鱼翅

What is the sudden usage of chinese about?
Never mind, I should use my hanyu pinyin occasionally.

TODAY! I went Causeway Point with my totally crazy friend, Nic.

There is this Starhub road show.


and Nic totally went stunned at the sight.
It's because she might be handling all the orders of these customers tomorrow.
A surge of workload.
Poor thing.

We bought loads of items.
Nic bought a Puma bag and a shoe, while I bought clothes for my Passion day & my Casual day.
Clueless? So am i.
Urgh, we are spending our future pay already.
Sian.

Guess I'll be only inject life into this blog during the weekends + holidays.
Sigh.

I love the old days.

4/4 at BBQ long long ago, like last year? hahah.








Loves.
