the next 2 hrs like dat was spent in darkness~ i called ard asking emily, san if they kana~~ idea sprang up in my head dat shld listen to radio.. so went looking for my iriver, fumbled a bit as nvr used the radio function b4.. then tadah~~ communication to the outside world~~ plugged it into my sony speaker~ tadah~~~ amplified~~ hahhaha.. was super hot, kept fanning myself, worried abt my fishes, listened to penny on 93.3 while the rest of them were calling ard, my phone's heated up after trying to call numerous times n getting network bz reply.. ended up smsing but server's quite slow too..

1 hr 15 min after the black out, lights came on for the blk oppo.. heard cheers as if a goal had been scored in euro match, very funny~ hahhahhaha another 45 min of waiting ard listening to radio b4 the lights came on for my apartment~ the moment was sheer bliss man.. hahhahhah.. lesson learnt: we mus not take for granted wat we have~ hurriedly trying to save my fishes, pouring water into the filter back chamber, ahhahhaha.. its such an exciting experience~ wonders how the loading goes on in office... n surprisingly, my electricity n san's came on at the same time! even thou we're like far apart, jurong n marine parade.. hahhahha... power line connected..

speaking of office, had a freak out tis morning.. had a serious mistake in one of the permits.. still worrying now, argh!!~ quite complicated.. then after coming up wit a "solution" to dat one, spent the afternoon doing next mth's blanket permits, which i even continued doing at home.. kaoz its the 1st time i bring work home n did it!!!! dun wanna be chased after tmr mah.. tmr go office check check can le~~ kekkeke

Faint by LINKIN PARK

*sniff sniff sniff* i'm down wit flu.. all bcos of.. (allow me..)
LINKIN PARK!!
bth.. still sniffing away.. kk i was at their concert yest... AT meaning.. i was at the location but not in the fenced up area.. was outside, sitting on the benches for those rugby spectators.. *AAHHH CHOO..* darn.. area's near the speakers so its POWERFUL EFFECT!~ well.. see no LP but hearing them is gd enuff.. cool man.. they rocks.. concert's scheduled to start at 8.. was there at 7.40 like dat wit yvonne + loads of munchies.. finished a box of pocky, some sushi, n 3 quarts of yoghurt which was forced down to my stomach..(i hate yoghurt..)speakers were playing songs by other bands whom i dunno.. audience were queing to get in.. n i think they circled quarter of the padang field.. ticket count was estimated at 15,000 by daniel ong.. jus imagine.. go multiply by 100 per tix.. (was 125 n 85.. avg.. 100) its 1.5 million.. gosh.. + i dun think its ex to book the padang.. stage not much stuff... they dun have fancy clothes.. only the system's ex n the huge screens.. gosh.. estimate operating costs at ard 0.5 million.. they earn abt 1 million!! woah..

8.30.. crowd was restless.. a grp from korea came on.. (the same grp dat did the opening for limp bizkit..) still trying to figure out their name.. guess it was PR or something.. they spoke wit a korean accent.. + very muffled + the echo.. well.. they did their gig for abt 40 min.. quite linkin park but cant even hear wat they singing.. screaming all round n muffled.. n best of all.. they got tired after the 1st song.. could hear them panting slightly.. then when the last song's on.. was wondering if they'll faint on stage.. they jus pant like they've ran a marathon or something.. finally its ending..

another 30 min of song playing from the speakers.. crowd's already cooled(they were nvr hot anyway..) LP din came on until 9.30.. oh man.. i was still guessing if they were having their dinner when the korean band was playing.. or someone's stuck in the loos.. the min they came on.. woah ho.. cool music.. rock rock.. the grp of malay gers behind us were going crazy.. stamping on the benchers.. me n yvonne were standing on the benchers.. pretty shaky.. could see no thing but the canvas.. ahahhhaha... there was one malay family whose kids could jus sing to the music.. oh man.. i couldnt.. i forgot most of the lyrics.. hahhhaa..

walked to the other side of the field.. had a better view but lose out on sound effects.. could see abt 3 quarts of the big screen + half of the stage.. sound's muffled everytime a bus passes by.. but i could see the guys!!! as in on tv lah.. woah ho.. the drummer.. rob.. jus look at the way he strikes his sticks on the drum set.. so cool! oh man.. crowd inside's abt 15,000.. outside.. guess its abt another 5000.. littered ard the road way, the other part of padang(the concert took up only half the field), supreme court (on the stairs, on the banister..) if there's a place where ppl could access, there's ppl.. accidents happen when there's crowd.. either there's a fight or someone fell from the heights.. i duno.. couldnt see the commotion.. only saw the police rushing over to the supreme courts n 2 ambulances parked outside..


LP Stage from across the rd..

heard LP churned out their hits like In The End, Somewhere I Belong, Breaking The Habit, Faint, etc etc.. yvonne was getting super high n i'm like, hahhhahah, the usual me, man re xing, followed the singing but wasnt as high as her, heez dats me.. they're cool.. really cool.. btw yvonne (in case u're reading..) LP's a 6 man band..(brad - guitar, rob - drums, mike shinoda - vocals + keys + guitar, chester - vocals, joe hahn (the korean) - dj + directing their MVs, Phoenix - bass) 5 published albums so far..(hybrid theory EP, hybrid theory, reanimation, meteora n live in texas) their record label's Warner Bros.. (reminds me of bugs bunny only) for more info.. Linkin Park Underground ahohohh..

kkz.. back to the beginning.. how i came to go to the concert.. wasnt intending to go in the first place.. no one accompany me in for the tix show too.. soo.. blahhhhhh.. (but heard dat mama n popo's in.. grr.. nvr jio me..) well.. anyway yvonne icq me in the afternoon asking if i wanna go listen from outside.. i was like.. ookk.. since nothing much to do oso.. ahhahhaha.. so dashed down straight after work n waited a while for her to finished her stuff.. the amplifier's so gd dat i could hear from westin.. cool man.. as we walked in search of a gd place to camp.. passed by the bloody long que n ppl camping at the roadside.. was dusty so we din wanna stay there.. walked a while more n ended up where we were for most of the evening.. hahaha...

its wed.. my sniffing's stopped.. but still feeling sick... nvm.. taking 1/2 day leave later.. well.. seems more like forced to.. san wants me to go out wit her.. argh.. give me stress the moment she email me yest.. din wanna take leave one.. gotta clear my drawer of D/Os.. then she say i nvr celebrate bday.. tis is makeup.. kaoz.. cant stand her.. ahhahhahhaha.. wants me to plan wat she wants to do today.. kaoz.. how wld i noe.. anyway threw it back to her to plan.. told her dun add to my stress.. blahhh.... think i'm having a fever.. *hot*

(i'm jus behind the driver thou n she's somewhere far behind..) wanted me to pei her change bus, budden my ezlink no $$ liao, gotta go top up.. so.. too bad~~

proceeded to a court near JP, was crowded wit guys til a batch of gers came for training.. dunno wat team.. we managed to squeeze in a small game b4 their training n i was running abt n trying to shoot wit my tight jeans, shirt and loose shoes, its pretty hard.. i cant squat, cant bend too low, cant run too fast, but.. for a last min thing, its ok lah.. i'm too lazy to go home change.. saw the gers coming back after their warmup run so we got off the court n rested at the stands.. i'm raining perspiration man.. wit the shirt stuck to my back n the jeans stuck to my legs.. argh.. watched the gers train.. ermm.. the coach sux.. ahhahha.. really sux.. only watched them doing one routine, the passing of ball to the coach standing at the 3pt line from halfcourt n cutting in for a layup.. ok.. for the time dat we watched, abt 5-10 min like dat.. they had not more than 5 balls in.. either the player couldnt catch the ball, or she cant finish.. its like.. omg.. they seems so amateur.. even thou they got the seh like dat.. then the coach oso.. some fella who thinks he's damn great n keeps sarcastically critizing the players instead of correcting them.. the balls he passed, either its not at a good position to catch, or its the wrong timing.. n the irony is.. he aimed for a long time waiting for the correct timing n position while waiting for the player to cut in!! then ended up.. piak at the player's side... was getting real drenched sitting down so i stood next to the stands while fiddling wit the ball..

since the court's used, we went to another court a few blocks away.. its quite empty there, only one side's occupied, got net somemore.. so we're having hell of a time playing n laffing all over.. as the courts in the middle of some blks, our laffs got echofied.. luckily i dun stay there man.. mwahhahahhha... i'm getting really old.. got really exhausted after a few rounds of chasing n cutting.. n my 3 pt's really off cos i cant bend low.. ahhahha.. its rather windy there so quite cooling.. yvonne's in a "hamstery" mood as mama calls it.. running here n there, wit loads of noise.. made us laff all over when the under basket ball jus din wanna go in..

cool man.. finally had a real bball workout, even thou in jeans and for abt an hr like dat diah... ahahaha.. its jus so destressing... finding ways to cut n score, assisting ur partner~~ mwehehehe.. made a few nice assists wit yvonne, zur was quite open wit a few nice shots, i had to defend popo who can jus simply shoot over me.. hahahha... anyway the stupid gst issue was put on hold, peter said he'll handle it when he's back, my boss said its not my side's problem, dun have to be so gan chiong over it.. jus delay it until monday when peter's back.. scrutinised the whole email yest.. saw that i'm not the only contact pt wit customs wat.. there's another person who contacted customs for bank statements.. they shld ask her man.. not me.. the guy jus doesnt realise how many dept there r in customs.. haiz..

[-_-||] tok n ate.. was super full when we're jus 3 quarters thru.. forced ourselves to finished them and i da bao the glutinous rice for my ah ma.. chit chat a bit after we finished n emily suddenly suggested going to sunset bay.. hmm.. i was agreeable to it since i dun have lessons.. bird was tempted to go but she already told her mum she's staying home to accompany her n she din wanna break her promise.. so we parted at there n i went home to pack my stuff.. little did i noe dat emily actually went to bird's house (they stay a few blks away) to wait for bird's mum to return n ask for her permission... hahhahha.. damn funny.. its not dat bird's mum dun allow her to go.. its jus dat bird feels guilty lah.. anyway i only noe abt it when i sms emily to ask her if there's anything i gotta bring.. then since she said she's still at bird's house.. i slacked a bit on the bed.. read comics b4 going for a shower..


we met up at JE interchange n took 97 to harbourfront trying to get to the bridge to walk over.. cldnt find the road.. so we wanted to take ferry.. who noes.. ferry service already taken off since july last yr.. ended up boarding the bus at the interchange there.. was abt 3+ when we reached the beach... sun's still sending arrows into our skins.. sand's scorching our soles.. we quickly found a shaded spot wit not much human traffic n threw our stuff there.. covered ourselves wit sunblock n INTO THE SEA WE GO!~ ahahha even thou the sea water's quite DIRTY (yucks) but... to escape the sun.. we dunch care~ the 2 of them were in white tanks while i'm in a black racer-back.. hahhaha.. but emily had her swimsuit underneath so still ok.. as for bird leh.. the blur queen as usual.. din think of changing into her swim top b4 jumping into the water.. n thus.. ahem.. *censored censored* but at least still jian de liao ren de lah.. anyway she got outta water n ran to get her swimtop n well... jumped back n CHANGED underwater.. power.. ahhahhah.. considered for a while to take off our tops then.. HECK CARE LAH.. jus took off.. had my white nikes underneath so i ended up wit a sports bra n a board berms (its not short..) n going to be one united nation??? mwehehhe.. still ok lah.. jian de liao ren.. got fren pei.. no prob man~~ kekkeke.. for the next 2 hrs like dat.. we're jus playing in the water.. coming up to be 3 hot dogs lying on the sand.. me n bird playing "dead ppl", "castaways" on the shoreline.. rolling here n there as the waves come in.. got our hair all sanded.. pockets filled wit sand.. went into the water to wash away.. only to come up n sand them again.. damn fun.. hahhahha.. the rest of the ppl on the beach mus be thinking we're 3 mad women man.. kekkekkeke.. duh.. who cares when u're doing it wit ur frens.. mwahhahhha...


qued for abt 1 hr for the toilet then me n emily proceeded to sakae for dinner.. was already 9 when we reach.. ate quite fast n then i sent emily home on cab as she wasnt feeling well.. accompanied her to her flat b4 walking the 600m home.. man its the 3rd time for the day.. as for wat happened, is a "secret" btwn us.. but she really freaked me out.. worried me so much dat i was waiting for her online and sms her when i din see her... keep nagging at her to go rest early.. n almost wanted to sms her to go to bed when i got offline at ard 1230.. she was doing her timetable then althou she's still not feeling comfortable.. a bit the insomnia from worrying althou was quite tired after the sunning.. (hey i din get tanned ok.. not a bit.. darn.. CONCLUSION: dun apply layers of sunblock if u're trying to tan urself... stupid me.. we dun wanna get the painful sunburnt n lobster experience so we put quite a bit of sunblock.. well.. din get the result we wanted..)


sunday.. emily smsed me at 11.30.. i was still zzz.. saw her msg 15 min later.. jio me out for lunch.. went online.. waited like 2 hrs for her to finish her chores n another half an hr for me to finish my nba.. so it was abt 3 b4 we ate our lunch.. i walked the 600m again on my already "soured" legs.. walked back home n spent most part of the evening reading comics on my bed..(finished 6 bks yest.. woah accomplishment.. mwehehhehe..) did my site revamp.. hmmm.. somehow doesnt look quite right.. might change a bit when i've time.. now.. i've one UNTOUCHED competition mini lion due on june 20th.. darn.. i'm jus super gd at procrastinating..

lastly, shall end off wit my views for tis quote quoted from DT's Blog

"I wanted only to try to live in accord with the prompting of which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult?"
-- Hermann Hesse


I think the main reason for us not being able to live in accordance to wat we want is mostly due to external factors..


Influence is one thing.. if u're brought up in a very close-knitted village or in an isolated island, without communication to the outside world, u might not even noe how big earth is and that there's other ppl living elsewhere having totally different lifestyles from wat u're living now. Hence u will not have any urge to live some other life as u'll presume that everyone is the same as u do.. Take for eg North Korea (err.. i suppose lah.. i forgot north or south.. anyway its the communist controlled part of Korea) right now they've imposed a ban on handphones, which is already a necessity for us. The narrow thinking govt preceives handphones as an object that is changing the culture of N.Korea, bringing in foreign mindsets and influencing the minds of locals. Communists r very protective of their own culture n wld reject anything that'll change the mindset of ppl.. I suppose they might also ban the use of internets if they have not done so...


2ndly, its pressure from the external environment. r u able to achieve ur way of living in ur current environment? e.g. u're living in the city.. but u wanna lead a farmer's life, or a hermit.. seems hard unless u migrate to some other place.. then even if u migrate, r u able to accomodate? drastic change from a hectic city work life to a boring monotonous land ploughing lifestyle, or from a stable roof above ur head, to a moving caravan.. wats more, u wun be having the same income.. leading to loads of other issues.. There's also issues of thinking in other ppl's shoes, say u think ur fren's work is not up to standard, or u're abt to blow for some mistakes, or even suffering under ur boss's ridiculous requests, to maintain the frenship, u cant tell ur fren straight off.. gotta cool down n think of solutions, cant quarrel wit ur boss if u wanna keep ur job even thou u're already to the verge of explosion.. it all refrains u from wat ur true self wants to do...


then u gotta oso fit into wat ur family requires u to do.. if u wish to be a hermit, but ur parents or spouses object.. r u able to break off all relations to live the way u wanna live? seriously its hard when kin relationships r concerned.. u'll have less drive to accomplish the dream if u do not have the support u wanted..


blahh... i've crapped a lot for today.. cant think of any other views at the moment le..there's still a lot more.. another hr + to the end of another work day~ returns to email chatting wit grace n emily le..

In The End by Linkin Park

hey man.. its friday.. but y downcast?? haiz.. tok abt dat later.. diaryland's server's overloading again.. its another few min of pressing b4 i cld blog.. dang its kinda scary to open ur outlook early in the morning n see.. 30 unread emails.. blah.. its all server acknowledgements for my reports.. oh yeah, finally had some slack time after a week of furious reporting... brought my usb cable to work.. gonna rename the files in my iriver later~

finally started on my revamp last nite.. which lasts me 10 min b4 my eyes go [@_@] looking at those <> and div and /watever.. *faints* scrolled thru my source code n found a lot of redundant codes.. gotta clean up...

went "home" after work last nite to get my paints, etc.. i used to think i have loads of little tins of enamel paints for my models.. budden i found less than 10.. n ALL military colors!! argh.. gotta go bras brasah get more colors.. radin got me a mini singlion (the miniature ones for those huge lion statues decorated n placed at PS n other places) its for competition.. blahhh... n i gotta decorate it!! haiz.. its been like 5 yrs since i last touched my poster colors.. 3 yrs since i touched my paints.. most of them dry up liao... frantically looking for coloring materials now.. anyway i needed some colors for my gundam.. dun intend to use the stickers which drops easily.. n i gotta lug the "mini" (its pretty big.. abt the size of a mug..) CLAY singlion.. heavy man.. gotta theme in mind le.. but have to depend on whether i have the perseverence to finish it anot...

oh ya.. asked my bro abt my fren's album which i asked him to help her get autograph of SHE.. its been like.. 3 mths?? n $40 worth of albums not received back.. hell.. everytime kok up.. i think there's little chance i'll be seeing those albums.. but.. how m i gonna answer my fren man.. shit.. will nvr trust them le lah..

hmm.. here comes the topic of the day.. the object wit the big letter M.. MONEY.. haiz.. as i was saying, i went home last nite to get my colors.. my dad came in n sat on my once belonged to me bed while i was flipping drawers n cupboards open to find my brushes which had been thrown everywhere.. i knew he had something to ask.. n i knew it had to be money.. he doesnt tok to me abt other things man.. he started complaining abt my bro.. who was pestering for a laptop to hao lian.. dats wat i presume n i think its 99.9% true.. jus look at all those unnecessary things he had.. the o2 xphone when he jus bought n upgraded all the software in his t610 a few mths ago after he lost MY 6110.. his 2nd iriver discman.. the blue tooth which isnt really compatible wit his phone.. those media cards n his spare batt.. n other rubbish stuff.. there's absolutely NO NEED for a 17 yr old guy to own all these rubbish... its all extras he use to hao lian.. my bro claims dat he needs the laptop for sch work.. can carry here n there.. i've nvr heard of any ITE students needed laptops for classes.. then i retorted my dad.. u want me to buy a laptop for him meh.. u wait long long.. i rather buy for myself man.. then he say my bro wanna stop sch for half a yr to earn his laptop.. i told him.. dun care abt him lah.. u think he can save enuff $$ for his laptop in 6 mths meh.. + at the rate he's buying rubbish stuff.. i dun mind the drop out thing.. budden.. i'll rather he try to get into poly rather than going back to ITE..

well.. dats abt my bro.. then my dad was eyeing on my 3 mths bonus already.. he was saying.. the stove spoil liao.. (how they use siah..) want me to buy new one.. blahh.. i ask how much.. he say 300 +.. oh man.. 300+ dun have to wait til my bonus one leh.. wat if fire then kana all my comics?? think i'll bring them to buy on my next payday.. can u believe i dun even trust my parents on $$ issues.. i was still thinking if its a fib.. i dun mind paying for the stove.. but i jus want to only pay for the stove.. not something else my bro threatening them to buy..

then he started tokking abt entrepreneur shit thingy.. ask me to get a few frens n start a biz... yeah wat biz... u think so ez meh.. need startup capital.. (ya i noe govt will subsidize) but its all a risk.. i'm not interested to go into entrepreneuring anyway.. i've no skills.. entrepreneur.. ya.. i'll go coach bball.. duh.. i only noe how to write crap lyrics.. wat else can i do.. i'm not an IT student so programming is out.. i cld market products budden its gonna be a lot of research which ends up to negative results... so wats all dat crap abt entrepreneuring.. its not dat ez to make money...

i feel like a slave man.. earning money but no chance to enjoy.. stuck in a place wit ppl over concerned abt my safety than my perception.. belittling me on everything i do.. haiz.. cant they jus stop looking down at everything i do, gimme more support, more freedom blah blah blah.. home doesnt feel like home.. its lacking of warmth i guess.. jus seems like a stop for me to sleep.. n everything's controlled.. argh.. nag here nag there.. feels like hotel but with out the freedom.. feels like.. hmm.. prison?? (got a lyric for it..)

ppl r jus TOO overly obsessed wit money i guess.. i dun deny its a gd thing to be wealthy.. u can get a lot of material things but do u really enjoy the wealth? take a billionaire for eg.. can purchase helicopters n planes at the move of a pen but still consistently worry abt biz, personal safety (fear of kidnapping..) etc etc.. in my opinion, money is althou irreplaceable, its NOT the most impt thing on earth.. I have a dream, i wish i could jus own a plot of land at some countryside.. living wit my other half.. (if i cld find..) having good frens like bird emily n grace as neighbours n gathering at one's porch for tea.. (quite impossible.. those folks r city ppl.. they nvr liked the slow life..) eating watever vegs we grow.. trading extra crops for stuffs.. heez.. if only i wasnt born in sg.. such a packed place wit too many kinds of ppl.. i wld prefer to be born in say.. some country side in england.. n lead a simple life.. n meet owen or prince william... ahahhah.. wishful hope man.. but i'll rather be able to enjoy life than to be extremely rich~

子弹列车 by 林俊杰

dang it was only after pressing the add an entry button for 5 min b4 i cld blog.. argh.. gonna revamp my site soon (again..) might be changing the url oso.. hmm.. depends lah.. no time recently.. or rather.. too many distractions exists.. e.g. nba, tv, comic... heck i've been turning in at 2 for the past 3 days.. watching tv & reading comics most of the time.. (still have 21 and a half books..) yeah i noe i hadnt been adding entries for the past.. 2 days?? reporting period at work.. zZzZZz... althou slacking away as usual..

price change again.. hmm... decrease le.. seeing $14 per DAL is better than looking at $15 althou its a meagre diff but it adds up..

hmm.. the past few days.. hmm.. lemme see.. din do much.. after work.. go home.. rot ard.. zZzZz.. work again.. n the routine continues.. did a major water change for all my tanks on tues.. pulled out all the rotting plants from my puffer tanks yest.. blahh.. i jus changed the substrate.. = no nutrients(understocked tank) + over-crowding of plants(light cant get to the bottom stem) = killed loads of plants.. well.. i've stuck the root tabs in.. poured a generous amt of fertilisers n CO2 substitute in after clearing the mess n replanting everything.. *sorry puffs.. gotta make u guys go thru all these~~* heez.. puffs r cute.. they'll swim ard the glass when u're near.. begging for food.. n they're real pigs.. dashing for bloodworms as soon as they see my hands near the top of the tank.. cute personalities..

i think.. work is depriving us of personal time.. (of cos!) i've like 2 gundam figurines still in their boxes.. 21 and a half comics.. 3 animes.. 1 drama.. site revamping.. n i've got not enuff time!~~~ + a *loanshark* targetting at my butts.. seriously gotta get some work done tis sat..

read the news article abt the boy who got hit by the volcano.. oh man.. i think its the worst way to die.. seeing ur body melting at the touch of the hot lava.. *recalls Volcano* its.. gross.. n painful.. althou volcanoes r very fascinating to me.. guess i'll rather visit a dead volcano than a dormant one.. u'll nvr noe when nature's gonna wreck havoc in ur life man..

hmm.. not much to blabber abt liao.. seems like my blogs r not very inspirational.. hmmm.. shld find some interesting topics to blog abt other than my boring life the next time bah.. off to sending report le..

Frostbite by MLTR

hmm.. since i'm supposed to be slacking~~ *grinz* not much to do other than reconciling the whole mth's permits for customs.. lemme crap abt my 6 mths sales asst stint way back in.. 1999...

got recruited by Sportslink after we (bird & me) went for an interview at the JP Sportslink right after our O levels.. we're posted to different areas but they're jus a dept in those time still existing Oriental dept store.. me at tiong bahru n bird at bukit merah.. went for a one day course conducted by Oriental ppl.. tokking abt sales ettiquette n crap.. forgot all but only noe its quite useless..

anyways i was interning under 2 guys who were out on smoking breaks most of the time n came back smelling of cigerettes.. bird dat time.. hmm.. i forgot already.. think she was under someone who was quitting soon.. well.. life at oriental starts at 9 am.. (if i rem correctly..) n ends at ard 10+pm.. we have shift work.. so the morning shift starts ard 9-6.. the afternoon shift starts at 1-10 something like dat.. i totally forgot.. then there's only 2 ppl for one dept.. which means.. if its one guy's off day.. its a full shift for the other person..

learnt quite a lot of things from the 2 guys whom i forgot their name, sometimes from customers oso.. it was ard xmas time when i was at TB.. so its darn packed sometimes.. all we had to do was to help customers wit their needs n issue receipts if they wanna buy.. sometimes customers can jus take the receipt n stuff.. walk elsewhere n dump it there after considering not to buy.. so its irritating at times to have calculated the sales for a period then find an abandoned product lying somewhere.. oh yeah we gotta get back the cashier's receipt as proof of payment n we gotta staple on the carbon copy of the receipt we issued.. sold a record of 7.. or was it 9 pairs of shoes in a day at TB during xmas eve i think.. a few pairs were those sch shoes so i din really take note.. sales dat day was damn high!~ think it went ard 3k-4k.. cust were jus flocking in n out n even the 2 guys took shorter breaks when they see me.. the newbie struggling wit the amt of ppl..

was at TB for like 2 mths b4 i got transferred to Bukit Merah to work wit bird as she's alone there~~ mwehehehhe.. the aunties were great there.. althou talkative lah.. then as usual.. the supervisors r the grouchy kind.. n we super hate the mgmt guy of oriental.. ahhahha.. sucky~ rem there was once we got fed up wit not being able to find the things we were looking for.. we REARRANGED THE STOCK.. its like.. a lot.. behind the display shelves, in the storeroom, under the condolas.. n made a list of the shoes dat were available for ez reference.. took us a few days to do it.. n the new stocks jus keep arriving.. made the place darn dusty.. n the storeroom which is already very cramped.. imagine 2 of us inside is.. argh.. other than fooling ard wit the new stocks, arranging, tying up the store stock, tagging the new stock.. we oso sometimes venture over to the toys dept n play wit the toys there when its not peak hr.. if not we'll be listening to the aunties gossiping.. sometimes when i'm working the morning shift.. i'll stay late if there's a lot of new stock n help bird out noeing dat she cant cope~ all w/o OT pay.. its done wit passion for the job.. i dun care abt OT at dat age..

being newbies, we din noe abt any rules n such.. so.. we decided to redraw the price posters, which got the oriental mgmt guy hopping mad bcos he wants standardization.. n threw a temper at the supervisor who treats us very good.. feeling guilty man.. budden... no one told us mah... well.. case's jus resolved wit a scolding.. n rewriting of the posters.. blahh..

oh yeah.. jus rem a serious case... there was once a temp from somewhere who came over to intern wit me when bird was off.. as i was doing morning shift.. i knocked off b4 she does.. then dat nite nearing my bedtime.. i got a call from.. THE POLICE!! they say the ger's involved in a shop theft case.. needs my assistance.. freaked me half to death man.. the police said they'll be coming over in a while so i was like... waiting nervously.. wondering wat its gotta do wit me.. when they arrived, they told me the whole story.. stating dat the SO of Oriental discovered her leaving the shop wit a new shoes on her feet n her normal shoes in her bag.. then they asked me if i noticed anything suspicious in her bag anot.. i was like... huh i dunno leh.. then blah blah blah.. i dunno wat happened after dat.. think it was jus a misunderstanding as our area manager (jasmen)oso nvr briefed us anything.. budden i nvr see her after dat incident..

few mths after dat.. i got posted to holland v.. by dat time i was already considered a veteran.. mweheheheh.. n holland v only had one person there who was leaving soon.. HV's a smaller area than BM.. its jus the end corner of the store.. n the place where we keep the stock behind the display cabinets, we could look out at holland rd n see cars driving past.. ahahha.. mostly ang mo or foreign customers at HV whereas its more of aunties n kids who came to buy swimwear n accessories at BM.. the HV Oriental's also much smaller.. = less things to play.. rem times when we gotta hang those price banners from the ceiling, we gotta climb up n down n push the dusty ceiling board to get the *daogeh* over.. theres' a malay butch SO working there who rides a bike to work.. n always using the mirror to see if there's any moustache growth.. ahhahha.. the aunties there took great care of me n often ask me if i went makan liao anot.. ahhaha.. everyone's scared dat i'll die of hunger.. sometimes when they're bored.. they'll come over n gossip.. n when the manager passes by.. geh siao fold clothes.. wahhahha

some reg customers dat we've noticed.. actually i only rem one.. tis guy's from special ops.. n he always wear the special ops singlet.. comes practically everyday.. n jus looks ard until one day he finally bought some kettler equipments... then there was one time when i was alone at BM.. there's tis guy who came over n say wanna make fren wit me.. dat time.. being only 16! i freaked out man.. n said no.. ran away.. mwahahhaha.. then found the company of one of the aunties.. kekekkeke.. anyway the guy went over to another section n kept looking in my dept's direction.. i was thinking.. OMG.. some pervert.. wahhahha..

all in all.. working in the svc line is fun.. but tiring.. gotta tolerate the long hrs of standing.. learnt a lot of things there.. esp abt shoes.. rem there was once jasmen came over n i was serving a customer.. he actually helped me out n taught me abt how to understand customer's needs.. i oso learnt abt the main difference btwn shoes n their purpose.. the way it protects ur feet, the goggles difference..etc etc.. get to meet a lot of weird ppl.. but mainly.. how to crap i guess.. ahhahhaa.. n jasmen was actually the one who influenced me to take up marketing in poly.. wanted to go JC initially.. but ended up in poly after a word from mum.. n stared at the list of courses during the enrolment time thinking of wat course take.. then finally.. HECK LAH.. jus whack marketing on the 1st choice.. the rest.. anyhow write.. wanted to take design at temasek but its darn bloody far.. n since emily bird n grace were at SP.. i die die oso wana go SP lo.. so my choices were like.. 11 SP courses n 1 at NP.. still rem marketing was 1st choice.. then wit an multimedia course at NP.. then its IT at SP.. n the rest whack all over.. hahhhahah..

kkz enuff crap.. approaching lunch time.. yawnz..
