Goodbye peeps.

Did the usuals since 3 years ago, when my grandfather pass away. He passed away in nov 2004. But for every qing ming jie, we have to go to east coast to offer our prayers as my grandfather wanted his ashes to be thrown into the sea. So every year, we will just have a small gathering at east coast. But the numbers are decreasing every year.

In 2005, all 6 families were there. But only 3 families were willing to hold joss sticks. 5 out of 6 were christians. My grandmother was seriously upset. And my dad gave the rest a good telling off. Since that year onwards, my grandmother only call those who are willing to hold joss sticks to attend it.

Last year there was 3, this year, only 2. The eldest son and the second son, who is my dad. And sadly, my grandfather most beloved grandson, who is my elder brother, did not attend it this year. He just enter NS and gave reasons like being tired and stuff.

But whatever it is, i thank my grandfather for all his care and concern. He was the one who brought me to take my first haircut. I still remember, he told the barber to cut "botak". Haha. And everytime after the haircut, he will bring me to the toys shop nearby and buy both my brother and i some toys. Being boys, we usually buy those toy guns and stuff. He was the one who taught me how to read the compass. That dong nan xi bei.

When i was in kindergarden, he will always find me during my break. And i will always hold up my plate to show him that it's empty and drink a quarter of the water in my water bottle. I bet most of u don't know that i actually know a bit of calligraphy. Yes, my grandfather taught me that as well. But i only know how to write my name. I guess i've forgotten everything already. The last time i touched that brush was like 10 years ago.

I do wish my grandfather is enjoying himself right now. No matter where he is, i hope he will bless my grandmother. She's getting weaker and weaker every year. In the past, her talking is like screaming. But now, it's getting softer and softer. She even need support or rest after walking short distances.

Alright, enough about qing ming jie, i'm leaving for HK in 5 hours and i'm less than 50% done. Wish me luck that i will not catch that virus and die in hk, or will i meet face to face with mas selamat. Goodbye peeps. Have fun!

Shopping spree.

Friday
was good, my acc balance for the 6th time, out of 12. That makes it a 50% record. HAHAHA! I know i'm far from 80% and a clean sheet is now out of reach, but i really like working there. Everyone is so nice. The gossips of the staff, the joy of working with friends, the fun with vanny, the laughter with jane and sarina, the concern from yenling for my tallying of acc, lunch with weisung and evelyn and so much more! I guess i'll still be working when school starts. Yeah, maybe one weekend or 2.

Yes, my time table sucks. I end at 5 almost everyday. With commitments for touch, projects and stuff, i doubt i can work during weekdays. Ha, see how it goes.

Saturday
was great. Went to town today to enjoy and chill out. Nothing much, it's just the fun usual stuff. Haha!

I guess i'll have to go to HK with a swollen finger, special thanks to fiona shen. By the way, i have not pack a single stuff for HK. Ha! Watch me rush!

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, i don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that u will be in my arms?

Confused.

A place to go, Jardin Du Luxembourg.






















Photoshoped the water droplet on the leaf. Wanted to make more but i lazy la. Tml must work somemore. I hope i will find the mood to work or else it will be like wed. Boring Boring Boring.

Saturday, March 22, 2008

Busy, as always.

Today was afternoon shift for me. Was suppose to team up with jacelyn, but sorry, you yuan wu fen. Haha. She was posted to promenade instead. Lucky me, i was posted to carpark. Yes, it's fucking boring there but at least, it's slack and sales will not come up to tens of thousands like yesterday. In a way, less chances of making mistakes. =)

Anyway, i've paid the shortage i had a week ago. I only paid 10 bucks as they took the excess from the day before to cover it up. But still, many of us think that the system have some kind of problem. Vanny worked the day after and had a shortage as well. Moreover, he was known to be very careful. Fuck. Whatever it is, it's over. So, forget it la.
I'll be freaking busy from today.
23 march - CCA showcase. Training on tues and thurs. Working on mon, wed and friday. Sat and sun will be packing and stuff for HK trip. Hahaha.

Textes.

Another no-life day. More to come for the next few days. Went for training which did not turn out really well. Seems like the seniors were not pleased with our performance. But i will work hard and hopefully, perform better in future.

Lomo effect for the first photo. Forgot the effect for the 2nd photo.

First time on sg flyer.

Please bear with me, i got lots to blog today. Hahaha!

Fucking hell! I was late for work today. I was suppose to wake up at 5am, but woke up at 6.38am instead. Surprisingly, i got ready in 20 mins. Haha. No wax, no shave, no breakfast. Trained to city hall but decide to take a cab rather than walk there. Too tired to walk. Haha. But anyway, i was late because i slept at 3.30am! Oh, my acc tally! Haha, but actually, i did not open my acc today. All thanks to jane. =)

Jane had "M" on her schedule. She thought M=morning. But it actually means, mid shift. So in the end, she turned up for the morning shift and we were overstaffed. In the end, i had to do crowd management, even though there was no crowd. So i just stand outside the booth and answered questions from tourists. Damn, it was tiring. Haha, but jane is a good tag team partner.

There was this company that booked around 10 private capsules for their physically disabled patients. As hospitality was understaffed, a couple of us from ticketing were sent over to help. I had lots of fun, they were very friendly. I hope they had a great time.

Oh, another thing, i've become the joke of SG flyer, as in joking manner. Today is my 8th day of work. My account only tally twice for past 7 days of work. Cool right? Everyone has no problem with it, at least once or twice. And there is this guy who joined us today. He got to sit the flyer on his first day of work. Everyone else was laughing at me because i only got to ride it on my 8th day of work. The one and only. Hahahahha.

Next, photos of the ride. Sorry, the pictures are not really clear due to the low megapixel of my phone and the small drizzle.


































How does it feels like to be at the top?

































There it is, Somewhere Only We Know. Just in front of the red seats. It is different from what it was like in 2006. Just like how we are different now, in 2008.

Step Up 2 : The Streets.

Today's off! Instead of wasting the day away, i went to watch step up 2. SU2 is seriously one of my favourite movies. Other than that, there's lakehouse and 300. SU2 has a unique storyline, other than the dancing part, it's quite different from SU1. The dance moves are the coolest i've ever seen. Hahaha. SU2 is definitely not a show to be missed!


Had Sushi for dinner. This shop at the basement. Not bad, just that it lacks variety. But it was too early for anything else, so we decided to catch another movie. Rule #1. Yes, i know there is fiona xie, but trust me, it's better to watch it at home. It's draggy and slow. There's no build up unlike other horror movies. The ending isn't nice and it doesn't seems to suit the show.

There's training tml. And i'm damn freaking tired.

No Shortage. =) No Excess. =(

It's finally over. 3 days of morning shift is killing me. Talked on the phone till 3am before heading to bed. Haha. Woke up at 5am. Shoick man!

On friday night, i slept at 9pm and woke up at 5am, ended work with shortage of 60 bucks. On sat night, i slept at 3am and woke up at 5am, ended work with no shortage or excess. Contradicting right? I'm suppose to be too tired to even concentrate today. And maybe end up with shortage or excess. But nevertheless, i'm happy because this is the second time my account tally after 7 tries. =)

I must really thank Joe for encouraging me today. I wanted to change station to carpark, the one with the least business. Less business = less chances of making mistakes. But it was Joe, who convinced me to bravely take up the job at promenade. I did that, and thanks to Vanny who kept an eye on me. This is the first time i've tag team with Vanny. i must say, it was seriously FUN FILLED. Today is my best day of work at sg flyer. Hahah.






Be Happy, Cheer Up Yea? =)

60 bucks shortage. =((





I found a tutorial on the net that provide guidelines on how to create a PlayStation 3 from scratch. I think i'm around 50% done. Still lots more to go. Those behind requires a lot of tools that i am not so sure of.
The one at the top is mine. The one of the left is by the pro. Haha. Big difference can be seen(don't talk about size and reflection) even though it's only 50% complete. I think it will turn out like shit when i'm done. Haha.
Had a really bad day today. As usual, woke up at 5am for work. Was posted to promenade, one of the more stressful counter as there are more transactions involved. Suay Suay! Kena posted there and had a 60 bucks shortage. Like what the hell, i don't even know where the fuck it came about.
After paying that amount, it's as good as working for free today and 2 hours tml. If tml got shortage again, eh, let's not talk about it.
Guess i'll treat it as a lesson learnt. What to do?

X

Hello! Allow me to share my experience of waking up at 5am for work. Sucks, totally. I don't know if i'm feeling this way because my results suck or because it is really bad. Even though it was 6:30 in the morning, the train is packed and there's no place to sit. Hence, i had to stand all the way to city hall with people pushing around me.

Though the train was filled, city hall was pretty empty. The place where i waited for the company transport seems like an abandoned town. Somewhat, like a ghost town. Work was okay, with a new partner who is 26 years old, but already a mother. Yes, i'm working at carpark once again, the ticketing booth with the least sales. But sales was better today since there was no rain. I got twice the amount of transactions as compared to a rainy day.

Lunch was bad, seriously. I ate only 2/5 of it. Time seems to pass faster in the morning shift. Before i knew it, it was closing. Haha. I am the "excess king". HAHA! Yes, once again, i have an excess of 50 bucks. =)

Results was spoiler of the day. Those that i expect to score(econ) did not do well. While those that i expect to barely make it(els), did fairly well. What the hell! The rest was okay since i didn't put in much effort. "B" for crm and iwd is quite okay. I know i didn't present well and i didn't give a shit about iwd. Results is fucking hell. Fuck shit!

I think my face seems to be too grainy. Can't figure out what tool to soften it. Haha. But the tutorial did help a lot. =)

Sorry.

I think it has been raining for the past 3 days. Having a running nose is seriously bad. What's more, it's on and off. So sometimes i feel good sometimes it sucks. Training tml, i hope it's doesn't rain so i don't get drop balls that often. And hopefully, produce a better form compared to tuesday.


Oh, anyone who knows how to use photoshop, do lend me ur assistance. I am determined(this time i'm serious) to learn how to use it. Oh wait, i think that back. See how things go. I still remember, the first time i opened that application, my jaws drop. Haha.


How can i just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace.
How can you just walk away from me, when all i can do is watch you leave.
Cause we've shared the laughter, the pain and even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.
A million miles between us now,
I really wonder how.

Do you see what i see?

Yesterday and today was boring weekend for me. Fuck shit! I hardly take a step out of my house. Other than passing the mahjong set to wanling and maybe, soccer in the evening later. And guess what, i have to work tml. That makes it 3 no-life days in a row.

I wonder what is it like to work in the morning shift. Reporting time is at 8am, but company transport is at 7.30am. That means i have to wake up as early as 5.30am. Holy mama cow! Whatever it is, i guess it's good to try out the morning shift. I can still go out after that. Unlike afternoon shift, the whole day is like GONE. Haha. And if possible, i would like to have aishah and yenling as my booth partners again. =) .















Sad shit. Hahaha.

Stop and stare.

Back to school for HK trip briefing. Not bad, had lots of fun with simon, lynette, andrew and gang. Mr tan was seriously hilarious. He's really nice and friendly. Just a bit er-hem! Hahha.


I saw her today, and all the memories start flowing back. And emo-ness starts to set in. For that short period of time, it sucks, totally. But whatever it is, i'm feeling a lot better now. I guess what i felt today was just "withdrawal symptons." =) Trust me, i have got over her, completely.

Stop and stare,
I think i'm moving but i go nowhere.
I start to wonder why i'm here but not there.

I was going through my stuff when i realise that the presents she got me was still there. I thought it was lost and that it is a blessing in disguise. I looked through it a couple of mins ago and realise there were so many things inside! Every piece brings back really sweet memories.

There was an unused photo frame. I didn't use it because there were so many photos of us that i like. I simply do not know which one to use. A testube with sweet nothings. A broken up heart shaped key chain. I got a piece and she has one too. Oh fiona shen, this is the one i talked to u about. Hahaha.

A sentosa entry ticket for our 1 year anni and her birthday celebration. We caught the sunset there. But it was covered by clouds. =( There was also a card she gave me after our Os. Which goes something like, our Os is over but not our r/s.(in short)

17 paper hearts, 2 straw hearts, 2 roses made from the wrapper of FR and 1 straw star in a collon chocolate box. 18 yellow, 18 red, 18 blue and 18 green straw hearts in a small cardboard. If i remember correctly, it was given to me during my 16th birthday. Haha.

But this time, i made sure it went down the rubbish bin(the big one). Sad, but true. It's over and will nv be the same again. Yes, i still see u once in a while. But i'll get used to it soon and will feel nothing when i see u. =)

Best of both worlds.



Been busy for the past 2 days with work at singapore flyer. I must say, it is really nice working there. I was quite nervous since it was my first interaction with ticketing. The staffs there were nice and friendly. They were even more than willing to help when there was problems. The seniors were very good in setting examples for all of us. Although the procedures are quite messy now, it is expected to be settled down in the next few days.

First day.(sat)
Did ticketing for 3+ hours before helping out in ushering as there were too much manpower for ticketing and too little for ushering. And guess what, i did settlement of my acc at the end of the day. Yes, it did not tally. =) Excess of $600+. Ha. Not bad right? They are still investigating at the moment though.

Second day.(sun)
Everything went pretty smoothly. Not many ppl today as it rained quite heavily. So, it was relatively quiet and time seems to pass really slowly. . .

For more information, do visit http://www.singaporeflyer.com.sg/
A moving experience at every turn. Hahah.

I've been really bothered by some stuff lately. It's not distracting but it will require an answer soon. Well, i can't have the best of both worlds. That's the honest but cruel truth.
