Work Work Work!!! Weeee~~~

Tuesday 12 April 2005
- first day of work.
- was an hour early. didn't know i took 1 hour to travel only.
- waited and waited. finally one of my colleagues came.
- chatted with him while waiting for boss to come.
- then another colleague came. gave me a pile of papers to read.
- an hour later, boss came. job for that day was purely reading of past events, getting to know the format and style of a quotation or rather a proposal. also helped her to compile the list of entertainment in soft copy.
- colleagues there are so friendly. but just couldnt find a common topic to talk about. maybe soon there will be. will see.
- my office is under painting now. the meeting room is purple! my fave color! yeah!

Wednesday 13 April 2005
- continued reading. and discussing what color to paint for the main office.
- met up seven heaven darlings. no fate with gothim penthouse. went newsroom bar instead. then unable to resist the temptation went zouk. not my nite definitely. left at 1 plus.

Thursday 14 April 2005
- boss gave me some work to do! did some pitching (means giving a brief proposal and quotation to client).
- given like 3 projects to handle. cant reveal out coz it's private & confidential. but im so excited in one of them! cant wait to see it!
- did my first proposal for a competition. seriously i don't know what to write so i just wrote what boss told me (kind of word-by-word).
- called a few places to check for the availability of event space. seriously i think some of the event manager for some shopping centers shld be more POLITE! they are damn unfriendly! but there are like 2 of them who are so friendly and comfortable to talk to.
- did some online research for the coming events too. this is just my forte. surfing net. no problem!
- boss informed me that i got to bring a proposal home to do as the proposal is needed next morning. *gee* i took like 3 hours to finish it (this time round i use my own words to write it)
- meeting today. supposed to think of a mission statement and core values for my co. *headache* deadline on next mon. any suggestions? tag me man!

Friday 15 April 2005
- proposal sent to her.
- site visting cum meeting at 11 plus. went 2 places in town. was fun and something worth to learn.
- this fella sent me home and kind of preach me. say in my line i got to dress well, bring smaller notebook instead of my current one (he thinks too big), bring a sling bag or haversack bag (wtf), be more friendly to suppliers when new, write down everything my boss says in the site visit, blah blah blah. i was like "hello... this kind of things i know ok?" i did work before! i have interpersonal skills! damn it!
- went back office. started to surf net for resources again. called up shopping centers management again. some people are just bitch! when you called to request for something, they demand we email them then they replied (i was like wtf. i havent cfm whether i wanna book ur place anot leh. i just want to check if its available). so sucky.
- talked to darren, one of my colleague, to draw the layout plan for the event. realised they don't use 3-D layout. they just indicate what the stuffs will be placed at where only. no 3-D drawings. sigh. not good rite.
- tried to compile a list of places for rental with the price and floor plan but realised not much places also leh. got to call and ask them but i was busy maybe next time when im free.
- at five, gotta leave office to site visit again. this time we went to the launch of Singapore Indoor Stadium. short tour around. went Movies by the bay to take a look. no one intends to stay for the movies so left before movies started.
- got work tmrw! meeting at 1000am. then need to head back office for rushing proposal after that. hope it doesnt end late.
- gosh! think im getting flu soon. eyes are starting to get puffy and nose kind of blocked. GOD BLESS ME!

ultimately sinful. went high. took photos in the toilet (nothing special, guess toilets are fave spots to take photos)

clubbed at phuture. we love dancing don't we? and there's 2 climax of the nite. 1)i started smsing ppl(seriously i cant really remember who i sms and what the hell i sms) 2)seeing my lecturer standing behind me watching me dancing (anything better huh?) so who really cares! whatever...

thursday 7 April 2005
gym plan failed. was meant to be 1.30pm. but i had very badly cut blister on my right foot. postponed to 4.30pm. however, shijia couldnt make it coz she had tuition. one day wasted.

friday 8 April 2005
smsed elna(hinting that i still want the job). gladly she replied to meet her at the office in the afternoon. while preparing, received a call from smu. told me i got shortlisted for an interview. i like -.-" . ya... means 2 good news. but i applied smu for shutting my parents' mouths up. coz i wanna study overseas. sounds like im in deep shit now. unable to make up my blardy mind. went for my job interview anyway. yea. she hired me. starting work next tue. office wear. uh-huh. jasmine doesn't have office wear. mind hinting her something. smiling sinister. called mummy and informed her. went town window-shopping with my sis. saw lots of nicey stuffs but im broke! when mummy got home told me we would be going shopping the next day for my first formal work! (oh.... jasmine loves retail therapy).

saturday 9 April 2005
woke up. prepared myself. waited happily. but as the time ticked away, my excitement level went down too. to the lowest. mummy and daddy got home at 7pm! VERY GOOD! 7PM AND I'M STILL AT HOME! arrgghh.... FINE NEVER MIND! I SHALL KEEP QUIET! and it's pretty obvious im not happy over sth but the folks have no idea! so daddy asked me where i wanna go for dinner. coz he tot i was angwee coz they didn't wanna go at first. dinner was at chinajump! so daddy was forgiven. i told them why i was unhappy of course! mummy said i was unreasonable but who cares right? i'm in the princess in the house! daddy pampers me. and seriously this is not the first time when they put me aeroplane. they always make me wait and disappoint me. this aint my fault completely, only partially. anyways, dinner was awesome! i love the place and food. but old folks dont like it. then went to fetch my sis. was a totally "hen duck situation". she told me she would be at dbs arts centre (she told me its opp sg conference hall). we went there. we saw the word "auditorium" and there's a notice of some play thing on a board so we tot we got the correct place. then went she was done with her play, she called us. and my dear sis then told us its near liang court. my sis is blur, not street-wise. we asked her teacher instead and realised its behind MS. managed to find the place and off we went home. watched some telly and sleep time.

sunday 10 April 2005
breakfast with my nephewwwssss. poor jaanon has swollen eyes. and as usual, jaaron sticked to mummy (whatever he wants my mum buys it for him, get the idea?) anyway, mummy just wanna bribe him with the biscuits and ice-cream so that he wouldn't follow us to orchard later (mischievious kids are banned from shopping, noted.) and the plan worked! down at town after breakfast. went into shops and shops. on my mind wondering should i just knock my daddy out with the 3-figure sum or should i spare his wallet). i decided to be good and considerate. i gave Guess a missed. altot i wanted the skirt so badly. any sponsors? heh... so bought like 1 top, 1 cardingan, 2 skirts and 1 pants from LVER. strongly recommend for office wear. went G2000 bought another black top. so that will just last for at least a week at work. i love daddy alot so i decided to stop. (but daddy there's more to come. *evil grin*) went to tangs. daddy pampered himself too! bought bathing stuff from biotherm hommes and had 2 lucky draws coupon. i hope he win the top prize. Mini Cooper. then he will be more relieved. less bills? at least there's a car for me. (okies okies.... you ppl must be thinking... aiya... no license yet also. but the car can wait for me rite? rather than i wait for a car.) let's hope to hear the good news. oh ya... my sis bought this adidas jacket. (evil tot: i can wear it and don't pay a single cent!) phew. my wallet is spared. lol. and ya. becoz i need a notebook for work i went taka to buy one which have a 3D effect cover. lastly, home sweet home. and the happiest, lovely, fortunate fella in the world is ME! the princess of daddy's! I LOVE DADDY! HE'S THE BEST! HE TOLD ME WHATEVER I WANT HE WILL GET IT FOR ME. but i guess i will just have to spare him at times. heee.

lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SENGYAN!

MY MALAYSIA RIDE

yesterday met up with my cousins and his frens to go down to cameron highland at 4.30 am. when we reached there, we were talking to ah foo and christina about their coming trip to melbourne. they were expected to leave on 15th this month. at about 5am, we left.

the twenty cars of honda went racing. left behind was my dad's car. was thinking if i were in the rest of the car how exciting would that be as my dad was the one not speeding.

half-way we decided to stop for toilet break. my dad was still saying they should KL adi based on their speed. when we continued my journey, not long after, we saw blue lights (fyi, there's no lamp-post along the highwy), followed by a few cars stopping by the side, one guy in yellow vest holding a touchlight signalling to stop. my heart stopped for a second when i saw a tow truck with a beyond recognized black car. i was like shit... my cousins and his frens mostly have a black car. my heart started to beat even faster when i saw my cousin's car stopping at the side. we decided to stop at the road shoulder where there were a few other singaporean cars stopping. my mum tried radioing my cousin but failed. i with my trembling fingers punched in the digits of my cousin-in-law's mobile. i heard her saying what happened before she talked to me. this made me even panicked. so i plucked my courage and in my shaking voice to ask what happened. who's car got into the accident. she too was replying in a trembling tone that it was ah foo's car. the first thing i tot was so anyone got injured (the car was in a badly shape but i still hope everyone is okay). so she told me ah foo was able to talk but christina was in a shocked. it felt a sudden relieved. the driver was ah foo's mechanic, ah chew. he was okay.

ah foo and christina was admitted to the hospital with a couple of frens accompanying while the rest continued their journey up to cameron highlands. at 1pm, we reached cameron. my cousin called ah foo to get the latest news. sad news of course. ah foo was okay but his wife, christina, broke her 6th spinal bone which was why she couldnt speak. and she was at seramban's hospital which is a ultra run-down one. if they want to send her back to sg, the only best way is by helicopter to prevent any other injury of the spinal bone and cord. we still doesnt have any idea till now im writing whether will she be paralyze anot. ah chew and a few decided to return to sg. heard frm the frens that the car actually skid due to the speed and heavy downpour. the car behind theirs wasnt able to stop in time and hitted theirs. it's such a sad case. the last time i saw her she was jumpy, smiling and happy. just a mere 1 and 1/2 hr, the table turned. she is in pain and unable to move. and to transport her back to singapore, she has to send to KL's airport as the hospital does not have any place for helicopter to land. it was meant to be a happy outing but in turn things have happened like that. they will be going to melbourne to pluck apples but now it wouldnt happened anymore. what a waste. *sighs*

there's nothing at cameron. boring. just some catcus, plantation stuff. my dad decided to head back to KL. after 3 hrs of ride, my dear daddy missed the turn to KL and we then came back home. so it wasnt a trip it was a ride. 16 hrs of ride stucking my butt at the seat.

oh well, will continue to write soon. i will pray for the couple that things go out fine for them. hope to see them soon too.

Description of Your First Name of: Jasmine

Although the name Jasmine creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, it can cause a materialistic approach that frustrates higher humanitarian qualities. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the reproductive system, worry, and mental tension.

Your name of Jasmine gives you a strong sense of responsibility in business and material affairs, and the practicality and determination to make a success of anything you undertake. You are self-sufficient and capable, and have an interest in positions of leadership and responsibility. You are competent in directing the efforts of others, as you have good business judgment and the natural understanding of people. Very likely you have assumed much responsibility early in life and are often required to make major decisions.

Sunday:

- Plans for swimming delayed due to the rain.
- Opted for bowling instead. Diaster? hmm... wasnt tat bad actually. managed to strike twice thru out the 4 games. but i lost count of the times the bowl went down the drain. lol.
- Still drizzling after the game, decided to go ahead with swimming and jacuzzi. was just a healthy lifestyle. which i like it.

Tuesday:

- Went for interview. waited for an hour. more like a listening session than a "introducing-of-myself" session.
- Met up with tanny and wongy to watch miss congenality 2.
- On the way home (by train), was sandwiched in between 2 guys with BO! nearly fainted. but luckily before i faint, i managed to shift to the middle of the cabin where i was able to get FRESH AIR! *phew*

Wednesday:

- Was Jerry's bday dinner hence couldnt make it to gothim penthouse. wad a pity... and "she" was there. kind of weird and sensed more to come.

- Managed to catch up with eileen. she was kinda tipsy. went in phuture and gave micmic a "tada-suprise"! i hope it was a surprise :)
- Finally, got to meet most seven heavenies - birdie, liyi, xinyi and sasa. and also get to know joycelyn. she's super friendly and i like it. lol.
- Conclusion: It was a super, fun, ultra, dancing non-stop nite... I bet we do enjoy ourselves with the drink (lamborghini - did i spell it correctly?) and the music.
- Towards the end, my nite was summarized up with bumping into my cousin-in-law at the baggage counter, or rather near the baggage counter (no diff). My plan was not let anyone of my folks know i sneaked out but mission failed. anyway, she promised to keep to herself and all i can do is just to keep my fingers crossed.

Thursday:
