HELLO ALL! I am back from Malaysia :D

Over the past few days, I have strangely acquired an obsession for cleanliness. I feel highly disturbed to see any stray strands of hair lying anywhere near me, and freak out when there are random spots of dirt on the table top.

I also feel depressed because one of my random malaysian relatives thought I was 26 years old. Like, wth? I am depressed.

Everyday's going to be a happy day from now on :D The hours after the last day of work were awesome, complete liberation.

Plans for now include working at the child care centre with anthea chua and her friend, or if that doesn't work out, starbucks which is supposedly hiring. Otherwise, I'm sure a short walk around a mall will turn out fruitful. Whatever the case, I'm totally taking a loooong break before starting any new job.

And the army boys are out, so it's time to laugh at their bald heads and listen to them yak yak yak about army stuff.

Anyway, Chinese New Year's coming up in two days, which means hongbao, good food, and partying mood! I'll be off to Malaysia after a reunion lunch at home tomorrow, looking forward most to the car ride. But this year we'll be staying at the vacant house instead so I'm really looking forward to that too.

So yes, have a great Chinese New Year! I'll be back soon XD

So I've been thinking about juggling two blogs so I can enjoy the privacy of lj while still hanging on to my old flame, blogger, but I really can't find much reason to do so. I mean, I don't even blog about anything too secretive for the world to see so I really don't have much use for locked entries. PLUS I have this unfounded love for blogger.

I shall just continue using lj to comment on people's blogs for the time being. Maybe I should start posting up my writings again. But I've kind of passed that shameless stage of thinking my poems are great stuff >_>

Anyway, NTU has just reaffirmed my suspicions that it is a boring school. I mean, which school holds its admissions talks on Valentine's Day?!? The teachers and students obviously lead very loveless lives.

Lastly, people whom I have not seen since the end of the world, please message me or call me and tell me about your life. I think miraculously my hatred for phone calls has been more or less cured. The random benefits of working in customer service, along with tricks on how to avoid calls or "accidentally" hanging up calls.

To fulfil my social quota of the day I shall be off to surf facebook. The lovely era of voyeurism.

The gloom from yesterday feels so far away. It's like some monster took over my body for the day. But it's okay, the old jiayi is back again (: Hopefully this is not just the eye of the tornado though, any other horrid event and I am sure I will collapse.

If there was anything at all to be grateful about having worked at that horrid place, it would be the wonderful colleagues I've met and the random people who help me when I most need it. I really need to count my lucky stars! I mean 90% of the colleagues of course. Hur hur.

Someone from my block committed suicide while I was still at work. My mum and sister were at home and heard the horrifying thud. I think if I were at home I would probably have been scared to tears. The proximity of death, even that of a complete stranger, makes me feel so discomfited.

Anyhow, spring cleaning must be done tomorrow. My room's in a horrid mess.

Hello people. I hope you had a day far better than mine. No, wait, you couldn't possibly have had a day worse than mine; i swear this was the worst day of my life, ever.

I feel like I'm gradually sinking into depression.

♥ 23:13

So, it takes a lot for me to say the f-word out loud, and I'm really surprised I still have not been pushed to that limit in this lousy excuse of a job thus far. I think I have amazing willpower, although "bitchface" is now word of the day. I swear HC girl aka bitchface's favourite pet has one of the ugliest faces I've ever seen in my life.

If you are super free/without a job that sucks the life out of you kindly be referred to my ex-colleague's blog (ex because she has quit, lucky her) and read about her experiences which may not be the same as mine, but the extent of irritation is roughly equal.

Counting down, counting down. 9 more horrid days to go!

But anyway, the area near my workplace is like really nice! While walking to Central today I saw lots of pretty temples and all which made me feel so in touch with my roots. I should really walk around Chinatown more.

OK so I went walking around/shopping with Yuhan today after work (I only managed to run out at 6.10pm by using the excuse that "I had a wedding dinner to attend"; told you I was the queen of excuses) and I got my pretty pretty shoes! <3

Anyway the point is that while we were walking from Clarke Quay to City Hall MRT Station in a bid to save about 50cents, we were stunned by this extremely curious sight of a random angmoh dude clinging on to the frontview mirror of a minivan which stopped right in the middle of the road. He clung on for probably about a minute or two, and then suddenly he slided off, perhaps because he was tired or something. But anyway, the minute he landed on his feet, he simply walked off to the pavement and the van drove away, as though nothing happened at all.

So obviously I was a bit shocked and frightened by all this, and there was this group of girls saying "OMG he's coming our way" and I was super scared by now, so I just grabbed Yuhan and we started walking really fast away. At that point of time I really thought he was psycho and was going to stab us. Which he obviously didn't in the end, since I am happily dandily typing away here.

Later on, he caught up with us and we saw that he was walking with a limp, and the conclusion yuhan came up with was that the van knocked into him and to prevent the driver from running away, he clung on to the van until he gave up and simply walked away.

Strange huh?

So that summarizes the day for me, and I am so looking forward to work tomorrow with my wonderful colleagues and boss! =D What a wonderful world.


/edit: Extracted from the dullest blog in the world. Makes me laugh like shit even though I'm reading this the fourth time.

Tidying some pencils...

Some pencils were scattered around on my desk. I picked them up one by one. I placed the pencils in the drawer which I use to store pencils.

This is seriously made of win.

Work has basically been horrid, but I don't wish to dwell on the bad things so I'm not gonna bitch here. To summarize, it doesn't matter whether or not you are more highly educated/capable than the boss, the one who pays you has the final say. And boy, does she make my blood boil. I swear I'm never ever gonna order from them dishonest business dealers!

At least I'll be richer soon. =/ And....11 more days. Whee.

CNY Shopping Part 1 was really fruitful, looking forward to the sequels! I have sooo many things I need to buy, got to stock up way before for uni. I simply cannot imagine wearing the same thing over and over again! Like, jeans and t-shirt jeans and t-shirt jeans and t-shirt. I will feel faint looking at myself in the mirror.

I suddenly feel like going ice-skating! Any takers? :D Ask me out please, people! I feel a lack of fulfilment for my social calendar.

I realise now that I miss school a lot. The comfort of knowing there's a place you belong to, with a fixed schedule and all. And all the memories are running through my mind; all the late nights planning events/studying, hanging out after lessons, random fun. What an emo night.

Goodbye and all the best to all to-be NS men, although you probably won't be seeing this. Sorry for forgetting to wish you good luck if I didn't, I am honestly not good with such details!

According to the Sunday Times, if you feel that you do not have enough friends, enough replies to your status screaming "I just went to the toilet", or that you are never invited to the good parties shown on your friends' photos, you are suffering from a facebook inferiority complex.

Oh man, how I identify with that. I should go around spamming people's walls to increase my virtual presence.

HAHAHA, okay, I was obviously kidding. I am happy enough with the number of friends I have and I just did a massive spring-cleaning, i.e. deleting anyone I have spoken less than three sentences to (not including hi and bye). But anyway, I think that facebook is like, becoming so invasive. It kind of scares me that it's one of the first websites I log on to everytime I come online. The others ranking high behind my livejournal friends page and gmail (duh).

And for the record, I'm working as a customer service officer at hoya hampers! So stop asking me! Work's robbing me of my social life though, I'm reduced to meeting people in the evenings ):

But life's still good! :D I'm feeling particularly organised with a lovely rilakkuma calendar on my desk (thank you anthea! <3), and the schedule for the week fully planned out.

Currently busy with trying to think up of a good plot for the chicklit writing competition. OMG, the deadline's like 31st Jan! :o Jiayou jiayou!

Hello everyone, how's 2009 treating you so far? My 2009's been a really sleepy affair, haven't been sleeping enough.


I suppose the best way to welcome the new year for me is to watch the fireworks after all, although I wasn't as excited as I usually get about it. And anyway, squeezing through the crowd sucks. It totally brings the word claustrophobia to a whole new level.

'Twas funny about the joke though.
"Who's from Singapore?" "mumble mumble."
"Who's from Bangladesh?" "ROARRRRR"

Okay, photo uploading time.

Hope tomorrow will be a good day too :D
