Finally I updating, have been really tired lately..with work and school starting, waking up early and everything. I am hungry now..argh..damn. I want fooooooooooood.

I’ve done my add/drop of subjects by the second day. With the new system in place, the whole subject allocation screwed up and everyone needed to do add/drop. Can you imagine a whole design school doing add/drop, with only 3 lecturers allocating and each person takes around 15 minutes? Yes, it was a total disaster..everyone trying to be first so they can get what they want..some waited outside the room for 2 days to do it. To cut the long story short, I was extremely lucky that I did my add/drop pretty fast..and rather simply (Tiff will know, ahaha).

I didn’t even know there was a whole new teaching system until 2nd day of school. I kind of like the new system, it allow us to concentrate on each sub. Basically, 1 month 2 subjects rather than diff sub everyday. Proper lessons starts next week.

This is what I got in the end (for electives):
Darkroom Processes
Apparel Design Fundamentals
Product and Advertising Photography
Figure Drawing
Prepress Technology

Yes..some not what I wanted cos classes clash but I am happy with what I got.

About work, it is alright..getting used to the tiredness already. I worked full shift today. I was suppose to be at Wisma but got transfered to Centrepoint in the middle of my shift cos their staff there is sick. Centrepoint is a shit place. It’s boooooooooring. At Wisma, on average..you sell like 6-7 pairs of shoes per hour..Centrepoint: 1 pair per shift. 1 shift is like 9 hours. I am serious..the place was damn boring. That place is no place to earn commission. I hate that place too cos it’s in a department store..working with all old aunties who are fucking annoying. That place was filled with wierd aunties. I think I like working in a boutique better, department stores makes me feel..empty? Haha..I don’t like sharing storeroom with other shoe brands.

I am working again tomorrow, supposedly at Wisma but switched to Centrepoint cos short of staff. Another torturious shift..luckily not full shift cos I need to be back in school at 4 for course meeting. I was so free that I could even sit in the storeroom and read my book.

I left Starbucks for almost a year but I still miss that place so fucking much. I really LOVE my job and look forward to working the next shift. The pay is not fabulous but I don’t mind at all cos the job is awesome. I think I can never find another place to work that I will loooooove..definately not Nine West.

I am hungrrrrry but I am going to sleep.

OH, and how can I ever ever forget to type this: I cut my hairrrrr! YES, it’s short now..shoulder length. After a year of deciding whether I should chop my hair off and an impulsive decision at 10.30pm: short hair. As most of you all know, my hair takes a million year to grow. Well, it’s not a surprise since at 18 I am still sooooooooo short. Don’t worry, I just take a longer time to grow so when I am 98, I will be 3 metres tall.
PS: My paragraphing keep screwing up, like it doesn’t starts in a new line. Someone help. I think it started with I install the latest WP (2.02).

It’s 2.11am, I really should be sleeping cos school starts later! I am excited in a way, hols are good but not great cos..you know I tend to be too free and think alot. School starts at 2pm later but I will be in school by 10am to add subjects. Yes, I finally found out what subjects I am taking. I am suppose to get 5 electives but nooo, the sucky school system only gave me 1. I think the whole school will be doing add/drop tomorrow cos everyone only gets 1 or none or 7.

I got Darkroom Processes for my elective. It’s not my first few choices but I will just taking it, at least it’s photography. I like black and white photos but I realise I suck at darkroom, I can never get my black and white photos to turn out right. AND photography subjects only means alot of money. Photography is an expensive hobby. I still haven’t taken my SLR to fix..I think I will do it tomorrow.

As for my CDS, I got Understanding Culture and Expression or something like that. Doesn’t really sound exciting but I will take it as well, maybe I will get to learn about like the Germans, or Red Indians or Indians or Jewish or people’s culture in general. Ya.

As for my job at Nine West, it’s alright. My first day was Thurs at Raffles City. I worked from 12pm-9pm. I tell you..I almost died standing. I never stood so long in my life before..I thought standing at the back of the class for punishment during sec school was long enough. Haha. My leg was completely numb by the time I end work. I had people trying on like 10, 15 pairs all in a row..idiotic rich China women. It was kind of wierd at first..I didn’t know where to stand in the shop so I would be SEEN and wouldn’t be blocking the shoes. Friday was at Raffles too. And Sat was at Wisma. Wisma is so much better then Raffles City..the place is much bigger and CLEANER. By Sat, I was pretty used to the standing. So for now, let’s hope I can juggle with school and work…I really hope I do. I need to money especially now that I am taking a photography subject and I am intending on adding one more photo. module.

That’s about all I got to say. I really hope my add/drop goes well, get what I want and cope with studies. I am offically a year 2 student later. I can’t believe a year passed by sooooooo fucking fast..seriously, the workload made time passed by so fast. And two months of hols sounds long but it ends before you know it. Time is one thing you want to hate but you can’t cos you just can’t cos we live IN it. Get what I mean? I am a genius.

My birthday is coming soon, I hate birthdays..all celebration, you in the spotlight. I don’t like it. 18, I don’t feel 18, I don’t look 18, that’s for sure. I look like 15 or younger.

Btw, I made some changes to my blog..and the comments part so let me know if you can’t post comments or something. Finally got it look the way I want it to..so yes, let me know and bye bye bye bye bye.

I am tired. My legs are tired. I woke up at 11.30am today, got ready and went to work. I ended at 4pm instead of 5pm cos I finished calling the people on my list and Esther couldn’t find my boss. I didn’t call everyone obviously, I striked out whoever’s name I don’t know how to pronounce and striked off alot of ‘Daniel’ cos I can’t pronounce it probably and the first ‘Daniel’ I called wasn’t very nice on the phone. It only means I get less pay and I stole my boss’ pen.

After work, I met Audrey and went to Wheelock to meet her mum to get money then we went to Funan IT mall to collect Audrey’s beloved laptop. We ate Pastamania. I still crave for pasta since the pasta at Han’s sucks. Really, don’t ever eat Han’s western food. Their carbonara sauce is yellow in colour..every sauce is yellow. We think that it is yesterday’s leftover soup of the day: cabbage soup. Ahaha..cream of cabbage, no such thing right? Audrey insist it taste and smells like cabbage. After Funan, we went to Citylink for a while then Far East.

I spent alot today, yes..I am really broke this time. All my pay is gone. All the pay I earned this month is gone: $303. I still insist I am not a big spender..I get cheap stuff. I will be $45.50 richer when HSR pays me.

Today I got: a laptop case ($16) (which doesn’t fit so I am going back to change), a T-shirt ($19) and a pants ($29.90). I am not going to shop anytime soooooon. I got all the clothes I need for school, new clothes. Just got a call from Claudine just now. I am starting work tomorrow at Raffles City Nine West, 12pm - 9pm. That’s a pretty long shift..I have never worked such a long shift before. I am not all that excited, I don’t really look forward to staring at shoes or serving rich old farts but that’s cool cos the pay is gooood.

I better sleep soon so I can wake up tomorrow to eat and go to woooooorrk. I can’t wait to start school though..the subject part only, can’t wait to learn all those cool design shit. AND, I am finally taking my SLR to repair. I am repairing my uncle’s one instead..cos it’s a better model compared to mine. Yes, my uncle’s cam is spoilt tooooo.

Do you all realise all local TV’s travel shows only introduces Asia..the most Australia? Seriously, go think about it. Is Mediacorp that poor? And I can’t stand all their stupid names like Seoul Far Seoul good? All that those funky names..woo. WTF?

I woke up early today and went to Boon Keng and met Claudine’s manager to head to the Nine West office to meet the General Manager. She was quite intimidating..you know like what I said before, they say so nice that you never know whether is it real or they are nice for the sake of being nice. She was nice when she spoke to me, had a slang..OH, she has SUPER nice eyes. Almond-shaped eyes. I have never seen eyes as almond as hers. Ahaha..maybe Ayumi Hamasaki..but that’s in pictures.

Then I came home, ate and bathe and went to work at HSR. Yes, the horrible telemarketer job. I really hate that company. The other day, I went all the way to Toa Payoh only to find they don’t need me for the day. Today, I went to work and my boss said he needed to eat lunch so I will start half an hour later. There goes $3.50. One more day as a telemarkter tomorrow and I am leaving that place forever. I hate that job. Today, I called real estate agents, I rather call households.

Just after work, Nine West called me and told me “I was selected”. Sound like some beauty pagent. Ahaha, or like some lucky draw winner. Sadly, no..I am starting training on Thursday. I most prob will be working at Taka after my training so Claudine will see my pretty face everytime she works. So I am offically empolyed by Nine West and I sell shoes.

I am going shopping tomorrow with Audrey. I spent ALOT..all my pay is almost gone. I really don’t spend alot. I pay for my own transport and meals..no allowence so that explains it. And cab fares too.

You know those adults that look from your head to your toes and toes to head..with that oh-youngsters stare? That stare that tells you don’t deserve as much respect from them? I fucking hate those people, they are fucking disrepectful. So what if they are older than me, they are just old farts with no respect. Like when you meet them, they don’t even bother to talk to you..just talk to other people they know and you are transparent? I always stare back at them..stare till they feel embarrassed.

It’s exactly one week till school starts. RP students started their year 2. I am alittle excited to start the new year. I can’t wait to find out what subjects I will be getting, I am definately hoping at least one out of three photography subject I chose and hopefully landscape and cityscape which I know is damn hard. Ok..that’s a long sentence.

I look forward to my subjects, sadly RP Audrey don’t which I do understand why. If there isn’t any subject for me to look forward to, I would really hate Poly life. I only have Amy left to meet for lunch or whatever, all others have left TP.

I am suppose to meet Audrey later at 5.15pm. There’s no way I can contact her cos she still hasn’t gotten a phone. It’s pouring at my house, I don’t want to be all wet even before I reach the bus stop.

I just watched Discovery Travel and Living’s Superhomes. It’s about richmen’s homes and stuff, breath-taking…I just wonder to myself, what makes them so much more privileged then me or most people. You know..arrogant, proud, selfish, self-centered, so why they deserve all these materials of the world?

And Nine West called me shortly after I clicked the ‘Publish’ button, I am meeting the General Manager tomorrow, at Boon Keng area so wish me luck.

Something doesn’t feel right, I don’t stay home on Saturdays.

I didn’t work at the condo today, my boss didn’t get back to me. No service today as well. Everyone is out today: some gaming, some clubbing, some working, some stoning.

I hate the feeling of staying home on Saturdays, especially today. It is like there’s an itch in my heart, almost literally.

I got no idea why really, maybe it’s just today but whatever it is, it is irritating the fuck out of me..somehow.

WHY!?

And for the steamboat photos, I edited the captions..go see it. You will see alot of Amy.

Today is Easter day. It’s all rainy and gloomy, makes me wanna sleep in BUT I woke up and didn’t have a good sleep cos I need to pee and the rain wetted my room floor.

There’s service later but I am not sure whether I am going, yes..I am lazy. I feel like a worm.

Anyway, I went for Nine West interview yesterday. Claudine’s manager who interviewed me seem quite keen on hiring me but she said she needs her general manager’s approval first before making the final decision. She didn’t ask much actually. I think cos she knows I am Claudine’s friend so I should be quite trustworthy and I have such a sweeet face and acted all sweet and innocent and gentle all. I mean..I am already. HA.I have to call Mrs Leo later (my condo receptionist job boss) later, I don’t know if she needs me tomorrow and Sunday. If I do work, I will miss Easter service on sunday which I don’t think is very good. How how how? I am quite scared of calling her too..cos she’s a smooth talker, sound so nice all that you don’t know how real is it. And, I am working the telemarkter job again, monday to wednesday. Some extra cash is good.

That’s about all I have to say. School is starting pretty soon. Mixed feelings. Good cos I will stop thinking so much, no cos of the scary workload and most importantly, I have to face the fucked up people there.

I just reached home from Claudine’s place, waiting for my water heater to heat water up so I can bathe and clean my hairrrr.

Steamboat with the girls was fun, we have alot of crabmeat, fishballs, beer and a horrible alcohol drink. We chit-chatted alot and planned about a holiday trip. I wonder if we would still meet up like this 20 years down the road.

My dad is on 2 days MC again..his back hurts again. Recurring injuries. Sometimes I wish I can do something to help him but there’s simply nothing I can do. He insisted on cooking lunch and I just stood there watching him. I washed the dishes and he sat down to watch TV and then rest. He was sleeping when I left the house..somehow some unexplainable feelings stirred as I left the house without telling him. All those shit feelings.

Claudine arranged an interview for me with her manager at Raffles City’s Nine West tomorrow. I am going for it. Whether I am taking the job or not..just whack. I need a job, a job that can learn me good money like Nine West. Starbucks haven’t gotten back to me..I suppose they don’t need me so time to move on.

During the director’s meeting beginning of semster two, our design school head made everyone write down their goals for the coming sem and he will mail it to us by the end of the sem to see whether we have archieve them. Guess what I recieved?

Hi.
Think of what you want to do.

Obviously, I didn’t set much goals, at least not that day.
