Summary for the last 2 weeks
January 19, 2010Heyo! It’s been nearly 2 weeks since I last updated. Well, I’d wanted to update earlier but if you had seen my facebook status updates, you would have known that my knee’s injured from work. Well, I’d to do a lot of things for the job that I’d mentioned in the previous post which I shan’t mention again ‘cos I’ve been telling my friends the same thing over & over again. Wells, the work shouldn’t be entirely blamed for the knee injury since I think I might have already injured it during exercise unknowingly, just that the work aggrevates the injury even further. If you don’t know, I’d actually quitted the job just after 2 days of work since my knee’s already injured and I don’t wanna risk my health over a job. So, I’m officially jobless, again. Lol. This time around, my job hunt scope will be narrowed down to just admin, tuition & childcare centres(if possible since most of them only want permanent staff plus those with CPT or early childhood degree/diploma) jobs. The reason’s ‘cos my knee’s been injured before so I don’t wanna injure it again.
In the previous post, I’d also mentioned about the tuition assignment for the 2 China kids. I’d actually taken up that 1 and I’d my first ever tuition lesson on 11th January bu it also ended on 11th January. Why? Apparently, the mother told me that 1 of the kids needed to go back to China so she stopped for the other kid, though she had asked me to teach O/N level kids. However, I only teach A/E Maths for secondary level so I rejected her & she had stopped using me as a tutor then. And, on the same day, O level results was being released. My paternal cousin had gotten 6 A1s & 1A2, which’s damn good and shocking to everyone ‘cos nobody’s expected him to do so well! However, it seems to me that he’s rather arrogant about it since he called me twice while I was giving tuition to tell me his results. Still, I gotta congratulate him for the good grades since I know that he’s put in a lot of hardwork to get the results.
Speaking of results, ever since after A levels had ended, I haven’t been able to sleep well, as in I’d insomnia after A levels. Strangely, most of my tuitionmates only had it during A levels & I could understand that it’s due to the stress of A levels. Instead of having that during A level period, I have it only after that -.- Haha. You may not believe it but I’d been praying to God regarding this plus some other matters as well. Haha. I know that there’ no point stressing out over this now since it’s all over & the results’ been decided already but I just can’t help it but to worry about it. My worry is that I can’t make it to the course that I want in local university and even if I can make it to local university, what if it’s not the course that I want? Should I go to that course or should I go to private university to do the course that I like instead? I’m seriously in a dilemma now. Wells, I just have to sort out these thinkings as soon as possible.
On the 13th January, it’s my birthday! However, nothing really happened on that day since my knee was injured & I couldn’t even walk properly at home, what more about going out? Hence, I was at home the whole day, lying down on the bed to rest my legs as much as possible, in hope that I can get well asap by doing so. Though I didn’t go out, I had received a lot of wishes from my friends via smses/msn/facebook. Also, not forgetting from my mother & brother! (: I’m really thankful for the wishes and I hope that my birthday wishes will come true. I shan’t say out what they are ‘cos if I do, they may not come true XD
Alright. That’s all for the update for now. Hopefully when I update the next time, I would have already gotten a job (: See you!
P.S. I forgot to say that my knee’s getting slightly better, though it still hurts >.<
Job Hunt
January 6, 2010Heyhey! I’m back to blog and this time, I’ll be talking about my job hunt. Wells, I’ve finally gotten some results from the job hunting all these weeks! I have gotten a job at a health cafe called Pink Nutrideli (If I didn’t remember the name wrongly). The cafe only sells healthy food to the people. What’s so cool about this job? Though the pay ain’t very high (it’s $850 per month) and I gotta work for 8 hours, there are many other benefits too! The job doesn’t require me to work during the weekends, which is superb, and my work ends by 7pm, latest. Moreover, I also get to have a meal allowance of $7.50 and at the same time, I may get the chance to actually learn how to cook of the the dishes which are healthy and that’s good for me ‘cos I can cook for myself to eat since I’m on a diet, as well as for my family! I really like this job a lot and I am so glad to have gotten this job. Though I know that I’d have to deal with customers, which may just be a bad thing, I shall think positively and look at the benefits rather than the non-benefits XD You guys can drop by sometime to visit me, as well as to have a healthy meal XD It’s located at Raffles Place, Clifford Centre Level 2.
This’ not the only job I have got. 1 of the many tuition agencies which I had called/signed up online had finally called me back for assignments! Well, I’m supposed to be teaching a P6 kid Maths for today and I have another offer waiting for me which’s 2 P5 kids who needs English, Maths & Science tuition. However, the P6 kid is rather temporary ‘cos he’s having a test at the end of the month. After which, the mother will decide and see if she wants to continue to use me to tutor her kid. As for the 2 P5 kids, I suppose they may be from China since the mother speaks Chinese with a China accent. I haven’t confirmed anything about the 2 kids yet ‘cos my work schedule has just been known, which’s 11am-7pm on all of the weekdays that I’m gonna be working so I gotta arrange timings accordingly.
During the past few entries, I stated that I was pretty free and kinda rotting at home actually but just overnight, I became a really busy person already. Haha. Earlier on, I was telling my friend that I took up the job plus tuition job as well and she told me not to overwork myself. Well, I appreciated her concern but I don’t think I’m actually overworking. Well, if you had managed to see my earlier post which’s locked up, you would have known my family’s financial status. Hence, I needa work hard to earn money over these couple of months before I enter university so that I can at least earn some $$ to pay off my University tuition fees when it comes. Besides, time is for us to manage so I believe if i manage my time well, I won’t be overworking myself. Moreover, I still wanna lose some weight since I haven’t reached my ideal shape and I also needa put in some time for exercise so I’ll plan my time properly.
Alright. It’s time for me to end off the post since I’m gonna do some exercise and bathe before I go off for my first ever tuition lesson as a tutor, not a student XD See you when my next post comes (:
P.S. Did you notice that my previous post’s actually the shortest of all my entries so far? XD
Update: I just found out that I’m supposed to be working on Saturdays too. My work will start at 9am & end at 4pm on that day.
2009-2010
January 1, 2010Well, 2009 hadn’t been a good year for me ‘cos I had my big exam, The A Levels, which I know that I totally screwed it upside down. I have only myself to blame ‘cos I think I didn’t study hard enough for it. Now I can only pray that the results that will probably be out in March won’t be too bad and that I can at least make it to local university. 2009 was a hectic year for me ‘cos I was busy with studies. Thus, I think I neglected some of my friends and family. I had gained substantial weight as I didn’t exercise for >6 months, due to the hectic life, again. Whatever that is, 2009 wasn’t a smooth-flowing year for me.
Since 2009 hadn’t been a good year, I hope that 2010 would be a better year for me. My New Year Resolutions are:
1) Get into a local university, 2) Practise my piano, 3) Learn to cook & help out with the housechores, 4)Get a job, 5) Waist to become smaller (size 24-26) and lastly, to become a better person in terms of character.
Haha. I hope to be able to achieve them all in 2010. Wish me luck in trying to achieve all of them XD Before I end off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! See you! (:
Random Post II
January 1, 2010Yes, you’re not seeing things. I’m typing a 2nd post to continue with whatever I wanted to say as the 1st entry’s contained lots of words already. Actually, I’m typing this post for the 2nd time ‘cos my first time crashed and I didn’t save a draft for it Zzzz Anyway, I watched a Channel 8 show recently called Life Transformers, season 2. I didn’t really get to watch the first season as my Maths tuition class clashed with the show timing. Now that it’s over, I can finally watch it over my dinner on every Monday. I recommend you guys to watch it ‘cos every time when I watch it, not only do I have to bear with the tears that are struggling to roll down my cheeks, but also the reflections that come upon me. The show is a really heart-wrenching 1 as different stories are shown each week. I used to think that I was already very poor, compared to most of my friends but the show immediately took away those views that I had in me. Upon watching the show, I think I should thank my parents for giving me a better living condition, their love and for bringing me into this world healthily. So, I really recommend this show to you guys in the light that you guys will reflect upon yourselves on your views on some stuff.
Recently, or rather on last Sunday, I watched a local production short film on Channel U called “The Promise”, also known as 向日葵的约定. Personally, I like that show a lot as I find it rather heart-warming and I think that the actress, Julie Tan, acted pretty well in that role. Kudos to her & hope to see more of her acting this year. The film’s about this girl who’s mildly intellectually disabled and she fell in love with a 19-year-old guy who’s not good at studying, lost in directions in life but talented in drawing. The main thing is that after watching the film, I thought to myself, “What would I do if I were to fall in love with a guy who’s like Shan Shan? Would I continue the relationship with him or what?” After thinking it over, my conclusion is that I would break off with him. As what Shan Shan’s mother in The Promise said, “Humans have their selfish sides.” You may say that I’m selfish by doing that but I can tell you that I definitely won’t be able to love him like his parents do and bear with his little silly actions like his parents as well. Breaking off with him will definitely be good for the both of us since persisting in such a relationship will only lead to more pain than happiness. Well, everyone has their own ideal soulmate whom they wish to spend their latter lives with. Me too. I hope that my ideal soulmate is comfortable to my eyes, non-smoker, loves sports & music, honest & caring to me, as well as my family. To me, looks ain’t that important; heart is more important to me than looks. Life is of course not all that smooth-flowing and things often don’t go our ways. So, I can only pray that my other part is the type of person that I want in the future. Haha. You guys may be thinking that I’m eager to get into a relationship after seeing all that, eh? I don’t deny it since the last time I ever liked anyone was from P5- secondary 1 who is, sadly, my first and only crush so far. Wells, I shall not rush it and leave it to destiny to decide who that person is then since it’s so hard to find someone whom you like him and vice versa.
Alright. I shall end off the 2nd post here since I have finished whatever I wanna say. I hope that through this, those who actually bothers to read the blog entries, you guys can get to know/understand me better. See you!
P.S. I’ll put some photos from “The Promise” below for you guys to view(:
This is the picture that they use to promote their show
Shan Shan & Wen Yuan, acted out by Julie Tan & Lawrence Wong
Proceed to the next picture & you'll know what happens
Now you understand why it's so hard for SS to bid goodbye at the picture above?
Random Post
December 31, 2009Yo~ I’m back to post again. I’m beginning to doubt that anyone actually comes to this blog & view my entries at all ‘cos there’s been no comments being left behind at all! Haha. It’s alright. In fact, it may just be good since I can have this little space all to myself & don’t have to really care about others’ feelings & write whatever I want (: Wells, since it’s supposed to be a random post, I’ll just talk about anything that I can think of at the back of my mind.
Wells, how’s Christmas? My Christmas was pretty ok ‘cos I’d my dinner with my maternal relatives which’s a first for my maternal side since all along, my family’s been celebrating Christmas with my paternal relatives annually. However, this year’s dinner’s been changed to 26th December instead of the usual dinner on Christmas day & I was pretty surprised with that. Before I went to my cousin’s, Pei Jing, house for dinner, his father brought my family to the Pasir Ris Park. My family had intended to sorta have a family outing since we hadn’t had 1 for long. However, the weather wasn’t helping us and it rained quite soon after we got off and reached the place. Hence, we had no choice but to go back to the car and cancel the outing. Instead, we took up PJ’s dad’s suggestion to go to a fish farm to look at fishes since my mother keeps fishes at home and they like fishes. Then, when we reached there, we went to look at a lot of fishes. 1 of the fishes that we saw was really huge. I forgot the species name but according to the information, it could grow to 4-5 metres long! And, it bites so there’s a warning sign telling people not to put the hand inside the water. Another species of fishes which brought me back memories was Koi fish ‘cos I remembered that when I was younger, my mother used to keep these fishes when we were still living at our Yishun old flat. And, they were really big & beautiful but a pity that they were given away when we were moving our house to Amk. After which, PJ’s dad used $4 to make my sister ‘cos he went to rent the net & the small pail to let my sister catch the small fishes for half an hour. He certainly knows what makes a little kid happy, huh? Initially, she tried to use the net to catch some fishes but to no avail. Hence, PJ’s dad & my mother started to use their hands (what the…?!) to catch the fishes instead. Though they weren’t supposed to be doing that, they managed to catch most of the fishes that my sister got!! Amazing, huh? :O
After which, we went to have our dinner & then, my brother & I went to PJ’s house in her dad’s car while the rest of them went home with my mother as my mother had to wait for my CCK Aunt to come over to roast (is it the correct word to use? O_o) the turkey for the dinner since my place’s the only place that’d got a big oven of all the maternal relatives. When we reached her house, there were only my brother, her dad, my maternal grandmother & me in the WHOLE house, to my disappointment. I thought PJ might be at home & we could go & play basketball since I’d brought extra clothings to bathe after playing basketball. Apparently, the rest of the people only came at close to 7pm so we eventually didn’t get to play the ball at all. After the dinner, all the guys went into PJ’s room and started their mass gaming of dota together (=.=).
I shall move on to something else since quite a lot’s been said about how I spent my Christmas Day. Well, I’d been looking for jobs for the past few weeks ‘cos if I actually make it to the local universities with my results, the school will probably only start in August for me. Thus, it’ll be a good long 8 months of hols! I can’t be just shakin’ my legs at home, doing nothing. However, the job hunt for the past few weeks hadn’t been good ‘cos I didn’t manage to get a job. And, I missed 1 good opportunity ‘cos Universal Studios had atcually conducted interviews on 5th & 6th December but I didn’t know about it! If I’d known & gone for the interview, I would have gotten the job as the attraction ride operator 
But whatever that is, I gotta look ahead & keep finding jobs. I went for an interview at Changi Airport today to work as a waitress at the VIP Lounge. They said I had to wait for 10 days for the Pass & if I managed to get the job, they would call us then. That means I gotta wait for 10 days & what if I don’t get it after the 10 days? I think I’m just gonna continue with my job hunting & see how it goes when the thing comes.
That’s all for the job part. Well, I’d been saying before A Levels that if I would practise my piano after the exams but till now, I haven’t touched the piano a single bit :/ I guess that’s because of the fear I have in me. If you guys don’t know, my sight reading’s actually very bad. Hence, I’m very bad at playing pieces. But, I think I’m gonna start practising with scales first since I think being able to play scales well will be able to ensure that the playing is good, with good sightreading (duh). And, I have really made up my mind this time round to start practising tomorrow.
Alright. I shall end off this post for now. I’ll continue with another post right after this ‘cos I still have some stuff which I wanna blog on but it’ll be too much for this entry so I’ll post it on the next.
P.S. Did you know that I used to fear going for piano lessons? XD
Just wondering…
December 22, 2009whether anyone actually watches the sequel without watching the first? Well, I did. In fact, I’d even done it twice! Well, I met up with Melody, SE & Si Wai (Again?!) for a movie on 7th December . It’s a rather last minute thingy so I was kinda late for the meeting. Wells, SE wanted to watch Avatar but that movie will only be out on 17th December so we changed to watching New Moon instead. Haha. When Mel called me in the morning to ask if I would join them for the movie, I think that they would most likely be watching this since there ain’t any nice movies to watch, as to what we had discussed last week during the meet-up. The interesting thing is that I didn’t even watch Twilight and there I went to watch New Moon with them -.-” So, you can pretty much guess how much things I actually knew/didn’t know when I was watching the movie. And, that wasn’t the first time! My first time was back in…P6 I think, when I went to watch 无间道II with Poh Poh, Steph, Ming Tong & Hui Qi, again, without watching the first movie, 无间道. Well, for Twilight, at least I made the effort to find it & watch it earlier on so I roughly know how the story goes now but for 无间道, even after watching all the 3 movies, I still, up till now, don’t know the message that the whole series is trying to convey.
Enough of that. Let me talk a bit more about the meeting instead. Wells, the movie ticket was free for SW, Mel & me ‘cos SE wanted to treat us before he actually went in for his NS service which’s on 8th December! Steph couldn’t join us due to reason cited as compassionate grounds. According to Mel, SE & SW invited Audrey to join us for the movie ‘cos they saw her at Amk Hub earlier on while waiting for Mel & I to get there but she rejected the offer upon hearing that we were gonna watch New Moon as she didn’t wanna watch that. After I reached Amk Hub, we all went down to the basement for SE wanted to get an ice-cream. While we were on our way to the ice cream stall, SE & Mel gave me a souvenir each ‘cos SE went to Korea for holiday while Mel went to Cambodia for study trip. SE gave me a handphone strip while Mel gave me a notebook which the cover is wooden. I like their gifts a lot, thanks! (:
Well, while SE was waiting for his turn to buy the ice-cream, I was telling him about how reluctant my mother was in letting me to meet them that day ‘cos my mother has always not wanted us to go out with the opposite sex till we graduate from our studies. She didn’t want us to get into relationships before we complete our studies and this made SE really puzzled ‘cos I told him before that my mother also didn’t wish for me to become a lesbian next time so somehow, this’ rather contradicting. I seriously don’t understand why my mother doesn’t allow me to have male friends at all. I think having male friends is fine. Besides, networking is very important in today’s world and knowing more friends will definitely be able to help me in 1 way or another in the future. Whatever that is, I’m not gonna care and still make friends with guys whom I think are decent but as for the relationship part, I don’t wanna think too much now since I like the situation now, with my freedom & time to do what I like.
I guess it’s time to end off the post since I don’t know what else to add on into this post. Haha. Adios!
P.S. I actually wrote almost the whole entry on the day after the meet-up but I was lazy to complete the whole entry so I waited till now when I feel more like blogging to finish it up & post. Also, I think SE will be released home for the first time on this Thursday! Haha. I wanna see his botak head! XD

December 4, 2009Hello People!!
December 3, 2009Yoohoo, people! I’ve finally created a new blog & also finally updating my blog ever since I last updated my msn space blog in July! Wells, my A levels had finally ended yesterday!! WHEEE!! However, frankly speaking, I didn’t actually feel very relieved the moment after the exams like I used to during Os period. Maybe it’s because I know I may not do that well for As, unlike Os when I was more confident that I could get into JC. Wells, exams are just over so I shan’t say anymore about it.
Now that exams are over, I’ll be having a REAL long break. Real ‘cos over these 2 years, whatever breaks there are, they ain’t really breaks since we still have to study & rush our pw or other work like crazy. Well, my holiday plans are to, of course, find a job, exercise, execute my diet plan, read some of the Chinese Classics (三国演义 etc), English storybooks etc., watch some dramas and to get in touch with my friends & loved 1s whom I haven’t been able to keep in touch with them properly since I had been busy for the past 2 years.
Recently, I met up with Steph, Song En, Si Wai & Melody for dinner to have a gathering before SE goes for his NS which’s on 8th December. That’s damn early, probably ‘cos he didn’t do well for his NAPFA and it also means that 8 days of break after A levels before he goes in! Fortunately, he’s going into Police Academy which is not as tiring as Army. Wells, we met up at PS & walked down to Aston to have our dinner. We queued for rather long, about 1 hour or so before we were given a table. We sat down and chatted about our stuff while waiting for our food to come. I think 1 of the funniest things mentioned is Mel’s “best friend”. She talked about her until damn agitated/excited. LOL. After eating, we walked down Orchard Road to Heeren to accompany Steph to buy a school bag for her cousin. As we walked down the route, we looked at all the decorations that were up for Christmas along Orchard Road. Haha. Speaking of Christmas, my actual Christmas day is officially free! That’s like the first in @#$^&*^$$ years ‘cos I’d to go to my cousin’s place on that day annually for family gathering but they changed it to 26th December this year XD So, now that I said I would be free on Christmas day, anyone can ask me out to chill or something!
Wells, that’s it for my post. I also don’t know what to talk about as well since I haven’t blogged for very long. Till my next post comes XD Ciaos!
P.S. I’m putting the photos of outing with SE, Mel, Steph & Si Wai for your pleasure. LOL.
Mel's Crispy Fried Fish with Mashed Potato & Fries
My Crispy Fried Fish with Coleslaw & Mashed Potato (I was forced to take the photo >.<)
Steph's chicken (I think XD) with Garden Salad & Mashed Potato
Look at Song' En's face! Haha!
Look at Mel's facial expression! This' the proof of why I said she talked about her "best friend" until very agitated/excited XD
What's with Si Wai's 拽 face? O_o
Look at the 2 guys having their 2nd serving!! Big eaters!
Fries! It looks as if it's floating in the air on its own! Magic! =.=
