Thinking... (Imported From Xanga)

I'm still troubled over my promotion in a couple of days' time... I don't know whether to embrace it as I'm getting some valuable exp to issues like auditing as well as interpersonal skills... Or to dread it due to the interpersonal skills tt I'll be forced to take up and the heavy workload... I'm trying very hard to be optimistic abt it and I've been telling myself tt everything will work out fine... Maybe the job isn't as 'screwed up' as it's protrayed to be... The current person holding tt position could've done the work poorly, thus incurring the constant 'feedback' from his boss to improve... It could be tt or tt the boss is simply demanding... Or both...

Oh crap, I'm turning out to sound like [SL] in his last few entries... Worrying abt what's in store for him when he's in the army and all when I resolve not to do tt as it's useless to worry so much... It's fatalistic, but do we have a choice??? I doubt it... We're unable to control or predict the future (tt's a fact) so why kill so many brain cells worrying abt what hell you'll be going through??? I should take my own advice and live life to the max, enjoying the present... By rotting and reading my novels tt I've recently borrowed from the library...

And now tt I've mentioned [SL], it's just a couple more days before he'll be released from his confinement and I can finally make earthly contact with him once more... Via mobile phones... He probably won't reply but I'll still SMS him once in a while and all... *Sigh* Guess by now, even a total stranger would've realised tt he's of some importance to me... I'm really a failure @ such stuff... Unable to let go after such a long time and accepting the fact tt our paths are parallel paths which will criss-cross only in the horizon - an illusion...

Of course, I've also been considering others... I'm not so shallow... I'm not only looking for looks... I'm looking for both looks and brains... And I do think my chances are like next to nil... Call it low self-esteem or whatever name you wanna give, but I do think tt no gay guy would spare me a second glance... A once over and I'm striked off as a potential BF... Those who does give a second glance are simply perverts, not gay... In the looks department, I think I'm on the verge of getting a 'U' (I do have some pride as well) and in the brains department, a 'B'... It's not a typo error... Doing very well in the 'A' Level doesn't mean tt I have brains... It's just means tt I'm a sponge... Good @ absorbing info and throwing it all back out with a squeeze... When it comes to other forms of intelligence - being street-smart, tech savy, well updated abt current affairs, etc - I'm just as clever as a bimbo... After all, my definition of current affairs is the previous day's new of who killed who in whatever country and causing tons of mayhem and chaos... Even when it comes to games... Well, let's just say tt I can barely make it through as I'm no pro in whatever games I play...

Oh well, before I end off this entry, I have a passing thought... Should I go do braces??? If I were to do them, I have to realign my jaw as well... Which means the painful (this is literally) process of breaking my jaw, align them, and fixing it back... And the braces??? I still have to extract 4 teeth out as well... The pain factor is giving me second thoughts and the whole not being able to eat solid food is freaking me out even more... Yet for the sake of looking better... *Sigh* This is making my head hurts... I don't wanna think of such things now... What I wanna do is to work, get paid, survive for another 20 mths, play tons of [MS] and relax... Yet my parents don't realise tt, insisting tt I should play less games and do some research of tt op before commiting moiself... *Groans* Parents... Tsk...

Can't wait for [Sat] for steamboat and [Thurs] for dinner with [DeClique]... I'll once again be the photographer for the former event... Heke... ^_^

P.S: Bitten with the [Harvest Moon] bug... I don't know why this is happening, but I just can't wait to be a farmer all of a sudden... Not real life though... I'll die from staying too long under the sun... LOL... =P

OMG... (Imported From Xanga)

Yesterday, I had my interview for the biz course tt I've attended... I think I screwed up a little... I'm not gonna elaborate as I wanna forget abt it and wait for the reply, the outcome... My fingers are crossed...

Tt's not the main focus on [Thurs]... The main focus is tt I'm gonna get a promotion!!! I'll soon be taking over another person's job, which is more demanding, more taxing, esp during those audits... I've witnessed how he had to slog when the it's time for the [ISO Audit] and tt's freaking me out... Not only tt, his superior is rather demanding... Look @ the following equation...

Tons of work + Demanding job = Low morale + No rest

Oh well, I should look @ things in a better perspective... @ least there'll be things for me to learn, which might be really useful in the future... Unlike the job of rotting... LOL... See??? Soon, I won't be paid to rot... Which should be a good thing as rotting too much is really detrimental to one's health... I'm not bluffing here... It's logical...

Nevertheless, I'm a little uncomfortable with the promotion as I'm being promoted because there's no one to take his job except me... Oh WTH... The organisation tt I'm working for is like what they say, screwed up (I refused to use the other more vulgar variation)...

On a lighter note, here's the pics of last week's choir performance @ [Victoria Concert Hall]...

The concert hall is just some where opposite the [Singapore River]...

Before the start of the performance, why not indulge in some phototaking 1st??? *Grins*

During the performance... I'm not going to put any more cause @ this distance, all the pics look similar... LOL...

When everything has ended and we're waiting for [Bec]'s dad to give us a ride...

During the ride back home... It's damn cooling lor!!! Love riding behind the truck... LOL!!!

Heke... Tt's all for the pics... And before I sign off, I have a note to myself... Never, I mean NEVER, buy those canned milo from [VCH]... It's $2.50 per can!!! WTH!!! Even a milo lover like me won't pay tt much for a can of milo... It's daylight robbery!!!

And what's with the shouting of 'Encore'?! For goodness sake!!! It's a formal performance, not some rock or idol concert... Sheesh!!! Guess JC ppl simply can't adjust their outward support for their friends in differenct situation... They just bring their orientation behavior to whatever performance they go to... For the record, shouting as loud as you can so tt everyone can hear you doesn't equate to being supportive of your fellow school mates... It equates to public display of idiotism...

Nervous... (Imported From Xanga)

OMG!!! I was mapling yesterday night and all of a sudden, a phone call came... I was shocked as I hardly have people calling me... Okay, in the past, I do have... But mostly, it's always homework related... And those are through my home phone anyway... So to receive a phone call through my HP in the wee hours of the night is a little... Shocking...

Anyway, when I answered the call, an unfamiliar woman's voice came through and I'm even more shocked... Who is she??? Why is she calling me @ this hour??? When I'm playing [MS] no less!!! It turns out tt she's from [NTU]... And she called to inform me tt I've an interview this coming [Thurs] @ 1610 hrs... Now, after hearing all of tt, I'm shell shocked... @ least I got selected for the interview, which means tt my application is being considered and tt I've still have some chance... Which quells some of my worries tt I'm in deep shit as I've only filled up 1 choice...

Of course, @ the thought of the interview, I'm even more nervous... I don't do interview well as I'm weary of strangers... And it's 2 interviewers (which is normal)!!! I'm already admitting my loss as my nervousness gets the better of me... And I must calm down... Like what the caller said, it's just a general interview to see how I present myself... It's freaky as I'm being assessed... And gosh!!! 1st impression counts and tons of 'what ifs' are flashing through my mind... Grrr... I must start my research on presenting myself well in interviews...

For now though, I shall indulge a little of [MS], have a late lunch @ [Pizza Hut] before heading to [Victoria Concert Hall] for some choir performance... And I have a cam with me... ^_^

Dummy... (Imported From Xanga)

Can you believe what happened today??? No, you probably can't unless I tell you...

Yupz, I did a very smart thing today... I turned down an offer for a switch of duty from my 30/04 to this [Fri] as tt person can't make it this [Fri]... I have absolutely no idea why I'm so unrecessive to the idea of the switch... Probably cause it's not just b/w the 2 of us, but a 3 party affair instead... This means tt I switch with him and he switched with another cause he can't make it on the 30/04 itself...

For those who're working, you do know the implication of the grave mistake tt I've comitted... Which I did realised... Only after I've turned down the offer and pondered really hard abt it... Think for a min... By forgoing this short weekend, I would be able to get 4 days off @ the end of the mth by applying for 1 day leave on 30/04... Not to mentioned tt on 26 and 27 of this mth, I'm on course again, which makes tt week really, REALLY relaxing...

The opportunity cost is really worthwhile... And I totally blew my chances off as by then, someone else has already taken up the offer, leaving me to do my duty on the 30th... LOL... Even if I did manage to switch my duty, I seriously doubt the 3rd party will be willing to do his duty on the 30th anyway... I can't be the only one to have tt brillant foresight anyway...

*Sigh* Guess you can say tt this is a lesson learnt for all of us... Strike while the iron is hot...

Good Friday... (Imported From Xanga)

Yesterday was [Good Friday], a public holiday... As well as a day when [SL]'s finally free to meet up with me for a meal... Seriously... After 2 times of asking him out and getting turned down both times, you'd think tt I've given up... But I didn't and thank goodness for tt... Heke... I know this is a bad example, but preservance will yield results... =X

Anyway, after my duty (it's a pity I have duty on the previous day, or else I could've more rest), I rushed home to have a long shower and shot back out, homing on to [VivoCity]... Meet up with [YH] & [Bec] before we actually met up with him as he's late...

We met for lunch @ [Secret Recipe] and overall, I had a great day, being able to meet up with him and all... And I bet [YH] have the same sentiments, considering tt she finally got hold of her [Fahrenheit] poster tt's been on my shelf for god-knows how long... It's a pity tt there's no photos here... But I do really hope tt I'll be able to keep in touch with him even after he has entered the [Army]... LOL... I dread losing contact with him... I know it's a dumb fear as when tt time actually comes, I won't mind as I've moved on by then... Yet for now, in the present, my wish is for us to stay in contact...

There, I've successfully made yesterday an unforgettable day... Tt aside, I've not forgotten my word tt I'll get more [Ouran] pics... And ta-da!!! Hold and behold!!!

Yupz... I shall not post all the pics tt I've have, just the selected few... I do not want [Tamaki], [Kyouya] and [Mori] fans to have a heart attack... *grins*

Before I end off, here's a little entertainment from some unknown source...

Zoo... (Imported From Xanga)

O-k-a-y... 5 working days later, this entry's finally up and I'm done with uploading the pics... It can't be help considering tt I only have a couple of hours every day during the weekdays to upload the pics and I have a whooping 130 pics, give or take... Of course, not all are shots of humans... I mean, come on... If you're going to the zoo and all you are going to snap are your friends, what's the point of going to the zoo in the 1st place??? Anyway, pics are worth more than a thousand words, so I'll type less and let the pics tell the story...

Animals...

What greeted us @ the entrance...

Wildcat...

Throughout our walk in the zoo, we saw the following animals...

It's a sea-lion @ one of the animal show tt we attended... You have absolutely no idea how smart tt sea-lion is!!!

We saw this white tiger pacing about it's enclosure... It really was a beautiful sight to behold... Don't you find the tiger very good looking???

'Niu' or cow??? *sheepish smile*

Kawaii!!!

Humans...

The early birds... Plus me as well as I'm the photographer!!!

Looking @ us, we're obviously having a very good time, despite the rain... Yes!!! It rained in the middle of our advanture in the zoo... What a damper...

Ooo... Look @ SH trying to lead the 'animals' into the cage... *grins*

And succeeding in capturing the animals [YQ] @ [Cass]!!!

UV light special effects...

LOL... After all those phototaking and walking, we're almost exhausted... So we headed to [IMM]'s [Fish & Co] for dinner before calling it a day...

Met up with [Dar], [JY], [Bec] and her sis... It's a pity tt [SH] and [YQ] couldn't join us due to their other commitments... ='(

He's sitting on an invisible chair... Don't give me tt look tt I'm mad or something... He told me tt what's he's doing... *shrugs*

Last but not least... What I had for dinner...

Phew!!! After 3 hrs, I'm finally done with this entry!!! Heke...
