haven been updating for a pretty long time.. for the past week, my hectic days as a admin asst in a law firm is reali killing me.. thou its probably nothing compared to weibiao's tackling of his students.. u guys should reali go hear his stories.. thou its not remarkably astounding but reali funnie and enlightening..
been working at this law firm.. and luckily i got the better part of the job.. there was lotsa temporary workers there.. like probably ten.. and among them.. i was the in charge of HR.. meaning i needs to onli make some phone calls.. do interview.. type some things.. its kinda easy and relaxing.. but not when the boss starts yelling at me... the boss there is hell of a freak man! he is the bossi-est boss i haf ever seen.. its like i gotta take charge of the tuition fees of his kids? and not mentioning the interview of his cleaners? duh? and whenever someone does somthing wrong.. thou he is probably like a few metres from u.. he shouts from his office and hurls all the abuses upon u.. as if thats not worse enuff.. he is extremely sacarstic and niao.. oh man..
and the funni thing is.. he being a very rich guy and lawyer trained.. supposedly very clever and well-informed.. rushed me into his office one day.. he was lookin so exasperated and said "Helen Helen Helen!! *points to the 'num lock' button on his keypad* and asked "why is the "number locked"? i was like "DUH?" how to reply you.. why dun u try asking why is there a "caps lock" instead?.. u should haf seen the look on our faces man.. thats sheer awkwardness.. talkin abt this incident made me remember one my fren told me years ago.. but i thot dats pretty funnie.. my friend's mother is learning computer mah.. so my friend was impatiently teaching her one day.. then suddenly the mother exclaimed that the mouse cursor is missing.. so my friend took a look and realised that it is near the base of the window screen.. near to the left side bar where the time and date are displayed.. so i friend who was impatient and wanting to get back to her own work said "there!! below!!" and the next second she say her mummy bending down under the computer onto the floor.. searchin for the apparent mouse! enough of computer jokes.. it makes human seemingly slaves for these machines.. bleah..

oh mian.. i have only got five entries.. thats rather pathetic.. kinda reflected my laziness to write.. paving my road to becomin the least prolific writer of my circle of blog community.
i went to try out some jobs today and there was this one that i was really keen on.. its something like a part time office staff at a law firm in raffles place and i thought i can learn plenty of stuff from this place.. at least gives me sum knowledge on law.. which so happens was my ambition since primary school.. sadly.. it ended when i went into jc,realising how mundane the job can get, contray to the fun and exciting nature protrayed by tv dramas.. Because i had high hopes for this job, can you imagine my shock to see literally tons of people there for the interview? there was like almost fifteen with me.. not counting in those who were before and after me.. and to make matters worse.. i was so tensed that i couldnt type properly.. she made me type a paragraph and i could only accomplish 30 words in a minute where others were like around forty.. i think i shall push all the blame to the blasting air-con and the malfunctioning keyboard! *evil grin*
holidays has been a true enjoyment for me.. i think i am the laziest gurl on earth who sleeps eleven hours everyday.. kinda like an achievement for me not crossing the twelve hour border.. heh.. but i do maximise my remaining time though.. gonna take yoga lessons tml with xiya.. hopefullie its a good center with good teachers.. yup.. the guy who contacted me sounded reali nice and helpful.. heh.. hopefullie yoga can help to must seriously change my posture!! and after a afternoon of golf with my mum yesterdae.. i decided to sign up for golf lessons too.. haha.. i think i haf a problem with safety in golf courses.. i remember bringing my friends to one of the courses when i was around seven then.. and was proudly showing off my skills after learning it from my mum the previous night.. so i was standing there.. holding onto the golfstick and was intently trying to do a good swing.. then before the ball even left the tee.. my friend shouted so loudly that i bet the trees shaked.. to my horror, my swinging stick had hit his mouth!! there was like blood and dangling teeth! imagine the anger of his mother.. luckily he was changing his teeth so even though i smashed off his front teeth.. they grew out soon after.. haha.. and yesterdae i was trying to practise at the lane behind my mum .. while i bent over to get a ball her all mighty swinging stick hit me on the shoulder.. ouch!! the bad part is not only abt the pain.. whats worse is that there is no blueblack the next day.. so i cannot use it to highlight the plight i was in.. and had to suffer in silence.. sigh~
actually i din wanna write abt all these stuff.. sumhow they jus came out.. i meant to write abt the blog community.. its okae.. shall add that on the next time thou..

Asia's Big One
its quite sad to see the sheer level of catastrophy created by the earthquake in Asia and for this time my heart aches for them. Even i am far away from their misery, confortably resting at home, this incident rippled within me. I am not sure why i am feeling for this incident, i dun normally get upset over them, not for 911, not for iraq war, not for anything bfore this quake.. maybe cus i am officially eighteen now.. and that i am out of school.. which so happen signify my end as a child and a start of my growth. Its like i am an adult now..not nearly 21 though, but i am starting to feel the responsibility as a citizen (apparently still lack of a sens of patriotism).. u noe wat.. i even thot of volunteering myself to the aid force for sri lanka.. and even discussed it with my mum.. (reali quite serious one leh).. then i went on to search for information.. realised that they haf already sent a 10000 SAF medics.. and apparently has no interests in sending an amateur like me.. hMmmm.. but they did urged me to send money.. and ting!! your church donated 20,000 leh.. together with a team of 6 helpers to Medan.. somhow i haf smthg agst donating money.. maybe cus i am poor now..haha.. but reali i suddenyl crave to go there and see how it is like.. to reali help the people.. and to do wat ting taught me todae.. to touch the lives of others.. to imapct them.. i noe i prob wun haf a chance to physically go to the quake zones and help them.. but i shall try my best to pray for them.. thou i am a freethinker.. to hope for their best.. and to those who are reading my article.. cherish the good environment we have..

spent the dae bfore christmas eve at futh's house.. with the rest of the 61 peeps.. and it was such a happi occasion.. for the party in the afternoon.. almost the entire class turned up.. with miaoyue marjorie jiayuan jing ting shan jaffa bing rui tsai kian futh boon chenzy.. wow wow wow! for the entire afternoon, it was games of bridge and asshole taitee.. haha.. now the name is changed to futh taitee.. that game is rather addictive man.. all the birding around and the climb to become president.. and the colorful cards.. heh..
next was the yummilicious dinner.. and their test of my training at fullerton.. fancy giving me a plastic fork n spoon to scoop the yee-mian when the ones at fullerton are silver! bish.. and another test of ah boon.. haha.. and the gift exchange.. its reali reali hilarious..
cus eveyone brought a prezent and we suppose to pick a name for gift exchange.. the ting is dabian picked futh for three times.. wow wow wow.. talk abtout fate man!! the probability is (1/13)^3.. and thats 0.0004551661356..hehe.. and chenzy picked jiayuan's name twice!! thats 0.00591759763 too.. guess theres gonna be some sparks of love flying ard this christmas!! and the foto taking.. futh n ruth were like famous artistes.. everyone was crowding ard them with a camera.. gettin ready for the perfect moment to snap awae.. and guess wat?! there are sum seriously juicy fotos up for grabs!! *gossipy mode*
for the stay over.. it was seriously a nite of mahjong n bridge and riskz.. its my first time seeing kianwee gettin all so excited over a game.. he was jumping ard and commenting non-stop.. and the funniest thing is all the guys gamed up to attack futh.. which resulted in 71 troops surrounding one pathetic soldier in europe.. haha.. maybe this is a blessing in disguise.. after futh lost terribly in risk.. he went to prepare the chocolate fondue for us.. yummilicious.. for those who dunno.. its like a small pot where u melt all the chocolate n milk.. then u are suppose to dip the fruits into the melted chocolate and eat.. talk abt being in heaven.. aWwWwWww..
the other thing that i reali learnt at futh's place is.. to NEVER SIT BACK FACING THE DOOR during mahjong.. its seriously bad luck.. i was sitting there at first and din won any games at all.. and when i changed over.. i started winning.. lujing who was sitting facing the door at first won practically EVERY game and started losing (cus dun haf fan) when she changed to that unluckie seat.. hmmmm.. maybe fengshui reali works!!
it was reali a tired but fun nite.. and by 8am when we decided to go breakfast.. none of us could move at all.. as a result.. most of us went to sleep in futh's guest rooms.. haha.. but that was reali one of the best sleeps i ever had.. ohhhhhhhh..
oh yah.. we are plannin a new year or new year's eve gathering.. similar to this christmas one.. but we are sourcing for locations for us to play and stay over.. so all my beloved 61.. please keep the day free!!

oh man.. i am soooo tired. shagged. exhausted. weary. dead beat. fatigued. drained. threadbared. worn out. enervated. disjakit. bushed... (okae.. i admit i checked the thesarus.. *sheepish grin*)
working as a banquet waitress at fullerton singapore is definitely nt as easy as i expected it to be.. theres actualie quite alot of trick to it..and it requires alot of strength.. i never thought that i was sum weak girl.. at least i was alright in the napha test.. but the plates n presets that i gotta carry were way tooo heavy.. i could lift them up.. but for that short few mins.. my muscle was definitely way too discontented that they decided to revenge on me the next dae with a huge muscle ache..the thing abt waitress is not onlie abt the stregnth n physical challenges.. but a more daunting task is to do all these chores while looking
good.. we gotta try to carry with a
single arm.. to smile and walk straight and pretend that this whole thing was a simple affair..i think thats probably why i used to think that the waitress n waiters serving me are slacking.. alwaes blaming them for being too slow.. or that the diff plates had diff portions.. or that they dun replenish my cups quick enuff.. *quilty look* i swear that i will be a good gurl and be more understanding and not demand so much..*battles eyelids*
and to add oil to fire.. my shoes were playing tricks with me.. my courtshoes were abt 3inches high and i was draggin my feet all the wae.. argh.. the next dae i tried to source for various shoes.. xiya yuzhe etc.. that pair of shoes gaf me blisters all over!! grrr.. the worst is that i was on a beverage duty ydae.. and i had to walk constantly to deliver drinks..!!! *sulk*
maybe i was too myopic in the past.. not maybe i was.. i think i was too myopic.. well.. those so called ah lian n ah beng are reali good with such jobs.. maybe its the experience or wat.. but they are darn pro.. and on top of that they are rather matured.. at least for their age.. the jc students among them looked reali childish althou we were ard the same age as them if not older.. i noe i got a ginna face.. so i looked reali kiddy there.. bleah..
go watch tv le.. dun wanna write le.. paiseh abt this unfinished entry.. but that show is reali too tempting.. hee
