2nd skirt-wearing day. HAHHAA. is it that unusual for me to wear a skirt?? LOL. anw today sold 2 sets which means i earned about $60 today. and im seriously very tired and my legs could give way any minute. and cause i folded up my oversized company shirt so it didnt look as long as it was previously; the skirt looked longer. then my boss say 'today you wear until so long no wonder sales so bad la.' HAHAHA. horrible boss!! hahaha... nah my boss rocks. anw my skirt is not short at all. longer than jc skirts in fact.
tmr got work again... wondering why i suddenly wear skirt to work? or why i suddenly start wearing skirts again; for that matter. actually in the begining of the poly year i wore de; but climbing staircases proved to be very irritating having to be cautious all the time; so i resorted to jeans. and wearing skirt in poly is like.. diao... u will get stares la. so i finally decided to put my skirts to use at work one fine day. haha. and it seems that my sales are getting better since wearing skirts!! hahahaha. lame excuse... XD
tmr work... then i will want to take off-day soon le... my legs cant take it anymore.. so tired. thou i get to sit down quite often; but im expected to serve every single customer; so there's really not much time to sit..
OH. and i realised that it's not that i dont like to shop. more so that if you dress up in poly you'll get stares? hahaha. so what is the need to buy so many clothes for. and anw dressing up everyday for the whole academic year is tiring; esp when you go to school to study and mostly the people you'll interact with are classmates; so why bother dressing up until so nice.. haha. thou looking your best matters in society; but somehow i feel that having no uniform in poly is abit of a bad thing since we're supposed to be more focused on studies not attire.
but anw since ive gotten over the initial suan-ing by my colleagues i guess i can afford to dress up more for work; and since appearances do matter to a large extent when you're working; i guess this is a valid excuse; as compared to the excuse to dress up for poly. haha.
im getting bruises on my legs cause ive been standing up too much.. argh.
sometimes im sian of doing the same thing at work all the time.. intro-ing the same products.. good thing i can intro different brands.. otherwise i'll be so bored intro-ing just one brand.. thinking whether i should try another company.. with slightly better pay.. but thinking of having to adjust to a new environment scares me.. plus being a young 17 year old girl; very easy to be tekan-ed. haha. haiz. now the pay im earning is like approximately $6 an hour if i earn $60 a day; since i work around 10 hours each day. sigh.
oh; does anyone know when we will know which option we get posted to...? cannot find it anywhere sia.
holiday until april.. serious not.. what am i supposed to do after food fest.. after food fest there's exactly one month then the start of school. not sure if i will want to work everyday; it's getting really tiring and monotonous. the max i can earn per month is $1700+ if i work 6 days a week. which is pretty good money for a student; but not for long. plus in this line, your commission is dependent on your sales.. so id rather have a full time proper stable job in the future.
one more lame convo with jason to make your day. lol.

today was super fruitful at work sia!! earned about $100? which averages to about $10 an hour. but anw im there to kill my boredom so im not really concerned about my pay rate per hour. thou of course i do hope for a reasonable exchange of my effort of speaking to so many customers; not so much about the time.
oh. which means i sold 4 sets today. which is alot alot. haha. well.. they were quite easy to close. not like saturday sunday when people like to go around bargaining. hate it man. i wonder; does my sales today have anything to do with the fact that i wore a skirt today? LOL. lame excuse. i never dared to wear anything out of the ordinary at work cause i was afraid of the initial suan-ing; but i guess since today they suan me enough already i shall continue wearing skirts to work yay. ^.^ hahaha. and a friend from another company wolf-whistled when i walked by his outlet today. suan me like that. wack him ah. hahaha.
OH junhao came by today cause he was gg for an interview for IT show. nice to see a friend! breaks the monotony.. at work i feel pressurised to serve every single customer so talking to a friend for a while is stress-reliving. haha. ^.^
told my boss that im on holiday so i will be working everyday till IT show. =)
goodness... SO SO SO HAPPY that i don nid to retake module!!!! gpa 2.69 is like pathetic; but im just THANKFUL that i DONT NID TO FORWARD MODULE!!! dont care if tmr go to work like zombie; at least i know that I DONT HAVE TO FORWARD MODULE!! haha.
btw i got my results via email at 2am. ^.^
walao. sadness la. thought that i could go into poly with single digit L1R5 and get gpa of like 3.5 at least every year. now my standard has dropped to i-dunno-where. whereas jason L1R5 double digit but gpa is like.... near perfect... this world is so unpredictable...
such a lousy gpa; which uni will take me la. SIM only maybe. lol. stupid accounts, econs and fom. CORE MODULES ALL PULL ME DOWN. my other rubbish 2 credit unit modules B+ and A but so what... hai... my poor core modules... =(
but overall im just SUPER THANKFUL that i dont hv to retake anything. ^.^ tmr im gonna be a happy lala at work hehe.

today went for job training then went back to funan there to play with the mac; cause i usually dont get time to slack around and play with it while working. hope my club gets a mac soon.
job training was fun. hope i earn quite a bit this time so that i can cover my extra expenses..
oh. i shall post something jason did today. self-ownage. hahaha. jason; i help u publicise your goondu-ness ok. dont say i not good. hahaha. XD
[extracted from jason's blog]
goondu. real and authentic goondu.
today i went to polyclinic to get letter proving i have old injury on ankle. the cmpb ppl say go there to get.
so this morning i down to amk polyclinic. went inside and got a number. then i immediately went up the consultation room on the next floor (cannot like that. must take the consultation slip before gg up).
so i went up and sat down. took out my psp and played for at least 2 hr. then i got tired. i looked around and wondered: eh? why everyone before going for doc consultation are holding on to the big piece of paper.
the truth struck me: OH YA HOR!
i forgot to get the paper from downstairs. i was like: damn damn damn it!! how can i forget?
so, that's how i wasted my 2 hr for nothing.
went back after that.
lol. another goondu story by jason. lol!!
[end]
and somebody keeps saying that im blur/slow/dense. tsktsk... =D

AHHH IM HAPPY!!! FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT THAT SONG'S NAME IS!!! cause i KEEP hearing it when i was working some while back and i couldnt make out the words AT ALL. after searching for ringtones i finally realised that it's SAY IT RIGHT BY NELLY FURTADO. XD
lovelovelove the chorus. im not a fan of MVs actually. linked it for the song only.
got a job for IT show and another major event. cant say what it is, else it'll be quite obvious what the company is, thou i never heard of it until i applied. haha. got the call ytd alr. just havent gotten the email for training details. which is making me kinda jittery. get the call means confirm alr right?
cant wait for my kohjinsha. =)
on a side note. im kind of worried about ber. 4 days of standing non stop was detrimental to my health already. what's more; her work is more intense than standing all day. ber pls take care...

nothing is as important as being happy and healthy.

today was scary. went to work as usual; feeling alright. then suddenly at work my upper back was so pain. could feel the two main nerves contracting or something. couldnt move for two hours and felt nauseous the entire time. so ended up paralyzed for two hours until my parents dropped by funan cause they were in the vicinity and took me home. wanted to go hospital actually cause i thought there was something severely wrong with me. was scared that my backbone was somehow misaligned causing the nerves to rub against them. but when they came it was much better alr so they suggested going home to rest first and see whether it gets better. my guess is either fatigue or standing for long periods of time on saturday when i had just recovered from severe period cramps the night before. nothing happened on saturday so i thought everything was alright. heard that sales today was bad and nowhere near saturday's sales... hm.. maybe ppl feel like sleeping in on sunday and get their shopping done on saturdays nowadays. plus with the IT show coming around sales has not been very good this month.
cannot wait till IT show.... dont know if i will be posted there anyways. cannot wait till my kohji arrives too. lol. cant wait for alot of things.

wanted to sign up alr. but my mum says i'll get tired. anw.
admin job. 8am to 6pm at woodlands. $5.50 an hour. start next monday to end of march. ask me if u are interested. note: i dont earn anything. just helping u guys find job in case you're bored at home like me.
status: STILL UNEMPLOYED. zzz
now is seriously not the period to find work. cause the year2s from all polys have come out for internship. and who would hire us for $5 or $6 an hour when they can hire them for $440 a month? seriously who came up with this internship thing. it's just a way for companies to hire cheap labour. yeah we can learn admin skills and all that. but it's not like you cannot get a $5 an hour job doing the same thing. at least you get paid more. there was this company who kept hiring interns so that they didnt have to hire a fully paid technician to troubleshoot their electronic/IT problems. after they didnt get any interns they had to hire a full time technician. it seems like the job listings now are lesser than during normal times.
bored... so bored.
Thursday, 14 February 2008
amazing me forgot that it was valentine's day and went out to entertain myself at amk and bishan. went to amk hub to make my ocbc account cause posb and dbs atms are forever frustratingly crowded. felt like a noob. lol. cause i wanted to create a debit card and apparently i cannot get a bank book. weird la. then bought a singtel prepaid card and stamp for stamping stuff with my name and hp on my posessions or during IT show. yep. so that was my day of self-entertainment and how i spent valentine's day. haha. everywhere i went there were students carrying pushie flowers or roses given my friends or their special someones. reminds me of how we exchanged gifts in crescent during valentines day. so cute. haha. now poly cannot celebrate valentines day like that le. haha.
i actually managed to talk myself out of depression. amazing. after like 4 hours of meditation. not sitting there and 'hmmmmmm'-ing la. thinking does wonders. ive realised that as i grow older, i spend more time on thinking. sometimes more time on thinking that i spend on doing or working. i think reflecting is equally as important as doing; or sometimes more important. i love to daydream.. i could daydream all day; especially when im sad. either to convince myself being sad is not worth it, or to find some way to turn the situation around. and i hope what ive thought out with turn this whole work problem thing im experiencing now, around.
status: still unemployed
Wednesday, 13 February 2008
feeling not very good these few days. many things cropped up. feel like just abandoning all this politics. i dont know who's right or who's wrong. i dont want to care anymore.

feeling so unemployed!!! sent out resume after resume... blah... guess the easiest way is to find friend's friend or whatever.. at least it's more direct..
i feel like i cannot tahan admin job.. i hv to go out and work otherwise i would be too bored.. haha..
oh went to funan to buy my kohji leh; but end up the guy say that the newer version with built in dvd drive would arrive by end of this month.. better built better keyboard etc etc.. $100 more only.. and not much heavier summore.. so wait lor.. .lol... i sound like some rich freak but im not cause im using my $ la. whatever salary ive had will go down the drain alr. lol.
im rarely emo nowadays.. but.. ive realised that the ones closest to you are the ones who can hurt you most. wondering if it's worth it to have a friend who values a 5yr friendship more than a recent strong one? would you guys do more for a friend you've known for 5 yrs or for one you've known recently, but still good friends? bernice says that she treats her sec sch friends same as kim and me.. and that goes for me too.. but maybe different people hv different opinions....? i wonder if my reaction is justifiable. comments pls..
crap someone employ me lar. lol.

i freaking hate ubuntu!! it takes me like 5 hours plus to find out what's wrong with something; and i STILL cant get the answer. terminals and sudos, go and die. i may hate m$ monopoly; but at least i understand it's language. UGH...
Read more...woohoo. =D ive finally virtualized damn small linux. im not saying a bad word. the linux version is called damn small linux, or DSL. cause im fed up with all the anti virus and firewalls needed on windows; hence from now on i will be doing all my internet surfing through linux. =DD
ok it's like freaking easy to do and i know junhao/jason will probably say 'now then you know how to do?'. LOL. but there were so many flaws in the instructions la. anw.. one virtualisation down; xp to go!! =)
Wednesday, 6 February 2008
was just looking at my post about gross profit and thinking. maybe; i already am fortunate already; by being able to have such a good friend to work with me. and also to be pulled into this job by him. otherwise; i would be stuck giving tuition to bratty kids with demanding parents. i guess there are ups and downs about this job; and one of them being that fish's sales is always, ALWAYS better than mine. well maybe 99.999% of the time.
but.. i think i should be glad that my working environment is considered comfortable. thou not perfect; there are some elements which im not comfortable with. but at least i feel challenged everytime after work to re-evaluate my performance, etc. and at least the pay is not bad... well.. considered quite ok le la. just that maybe sometimes i find that there are too many people in that one branch, which makes it quite competitive.
about school... it's been much better as compared to last time. hope it stays that way. i dont think my life has been as smooth as this for quite some time.. im just so tired of all that extra rubbish i had to go thru.
my dad had to take over my fujitsu; so im gonna buy my kohjinsha this sat; with him sponsoring half. cause he would have to pay for a new laptop for himself anyways.
truth be told; im not looking forward to cny.. mahjong noise all the way through the night. goodness. and dont ask me to join them.. cause they're the adults and i have no idea how to play. and no, i dont want to learn. haha.
Tuesday, 5 February 2008
spic meeting.. then went out thomson plaza sushi tei for eunice's birthday. =D
my phone can connect to sg wireless but not sp wireless or my home one. sad lah.
still have not found a job yet. goodness.
yay ive finally gotten my new phone. =D my previous n73 has been lagging like crazy and eating up battery life too fast. like, within a day of not touching it; the battery can drain out to zero. and anyways, my bro wants it cause he can download games into it and not bother my parents for a psp. haha.
so ive finally gotten a wifi-enabled phone for $38; since my mum had $100 voucher from starhub and it was time to recontract. it was love at first sight. when i browsed through the starhub promo phones according to features; wifi; this was the only phone under $100 that had wifi. the rest like O2 and treo are like, $300 plus.
my new phone, the nokia e51. =DD fish says it looks obiang. but who cares about his opinion as long as i like it. HAHA. it looks better in real life la. and it's so thin.. ooo..
BUT. after trying for like 3 hours to connect to my home wireless; changing all sorts of settings with obscure acronyms like WEP and WPA, i still cannot get it to work. well. so much for a $200 plus router. sheesh. not that i didnt recommend a reliable one to my dad thou. he still insisted on it. haha. i still keep getting disconnected from the internet from my room. which is like very irritating..
oh today went out for reunion dinner.. yumyum... it's been very long since i went out to eat something nice. =D had fried ice cream.. yum..
phone down; laptop to go! haha. at this rate, i doubt i'll be able to get a job... this is so yucks..
Sunday, 3 February 2008
today didnt earn much ar... like $80 today only. fish is scary. his gross profit is higher than all the full timers combined for this month. (feb) which means he earned like about $200 today. very often i feel super inferior working with him man.. dunno why his 'luck' is always so good... i didnt believe in luck at first... but now i do realise that some people have a smoother life than others..
oh about the eee pc; i gave my deposit to fish. which means he about the laptop at $50 less. hai. sometimes stuff like these happen la. but my mum told me that there are people who put $2500 deposit for a house and then dont want to buy it. guess that's worse. the laptop looks chio.. haha. XD today i saw a customer buy kohjinsha sh8.. make my fingers itchy; want to faster go and buy. hahaa. but i wanna wait until april when probably the sr series comes out and the sh one has reduction in price. haha. anw i dont need it during the hols; waste 3 months of warranty time out of the given 12 months.
want to faster find a full time holiday job.. i just realised that as business students; it's very hard to find a holiday job.. most are admin work which i absolutely hate. lol. and im getting quite tired of sales since im doing it every weekend.
tmr got reunion dinner.. then the day after got spic meeting at 2pm..
im so bored. i wanna faster get a job so that i can pay my expenses using my own money. feels so good to be independent. i get a sick feeling in my stomach whenever i have to ask my parents for money. haha.
Saturday, 2 February 2008
i dont think im a very good salesperson. as in; i dont think this is my forte. ive seen and heard about good sales people and they really deliver the results. that being said; i wonder what im good at. trying to find out.. and yet it is never working. thought about this matter alot and felt quite sad abt the lack of sales for me only today on the way back home on north east line. ended up making fish worried/annoyed the whole journey. lol. thou what he says makes sense; that everyone has our good and bad days; but all in all analysing my sales for the past two months; it's not exactly stellar. im not pro in studies; my job is not working out very well for me; what else is there left to try. im so tired of trying to find out what im good at. because it always seems that im not good at anything.
i wonder if im being hard on myself. after today; i really felt like becoming in a management of something; instead of having to hard-sell every week. at least in a management; you're not fully responsible of the effects of a marketing campaign. at least you can be the one reading the sales report, instead of being the one who is directly responsible for the sales.
but; im gonna have to stick with this line and job for quite some time. the pay elsewhere is either $5 per hour or $6, unless you tuition. but as a student now; i dont feel like being responsible for another student's grades yet. or have the time to do so constantly; for that matter. and also; i find tuitioning students akin to reliving the flawed singapore education system where all they focus on is mugging. not only singapore i guess. it's just the way education works. if you want to be really different, you'll have to go against the flow. and few have done that and are successful.
living day to day with no purpose, no meaning. it was never supposed to be like that. but at times like these; life feels so much more purposeless.

i think i just turned vegetarian. watch the following vid about animal cruelty in kfc. i know, i know, it's narrated by pamela anderson. but the main focus is the message.
im already 3/4 vegetarian. thanks loads kfc.
finally exams are over. numb.
went with bernice to funan to buy her mp3.. then fish came along then seems like i had alot of things to do. lol. so confused now. cant get back my deposit for my eee cause i dont wanna buy it anymore cause i want a kohji instead. rar.
i feel like ive just been thrown into darkness. whereby i dont know what to look forward to in life, or rather, these two months. i wonder.
look for a full time job? continue at my current for full-time? create spic projects? take up part time course?
the sky's the limit. but i admit, the boredom bug has bitten me already.
