I'ts just a random post...
After so many months of MIA, I think i'm not used to blogging anymore.
At first plan to upload some photos, dut due to some problems, there won't b photos the meantime.
After starting work, life gets sort of monotonous.
Sometimes after work, you just don't feel like going anywhere. So back home and continue just like that. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month.
Even if do go out, just the thougth of working tomorrow, makes one just want to go to somewhere so It will not be so late by the time, you got back home.
And this is what I see in my colleagues. It just makes me scare that this routine would be seen in me a few years down the road.
Perhaps in my line of work, its hard to meet new people. So I can actually some match-making going on in my department. And the person being match-made actually don't mind. And even that she is old already. Should get hitched up soon. (lets just put her age range from 24-27)(Picturing the scene in your mind, is quite scary isn't.)
Previously, the usual shopping trip will be like: there is always somethings to get or buy. Now, nothing seems to be worth buying.
So I see some colleagues fashion sense stays at their youth times. Though some are quite fashionables. But having a person in 30s to 40s in late teens n young adults clothes is an eyesore.
At school, there will always be some breaks in between classes. At work, there isn't. In school, there will be friends. At work, however close you are with your colleagues, you know that there will always a invisible barrier. You cant share secrets, things, for fear of them making a joke out of it behing your back.
This scenes happened at just my workplace. Whenever a colleague was on leave or just go to the ladies, they would said alot of bad things about her. I would always hear such stories during lunch or during overtime.
This makes me wonder if I had been the subject in such suitations. Even though some treats me like a daughter or a small sister to them, but its different.
So after working, I discovered the joys of being a full-fledge student. Life is simpler and more fulfilling...
You turned me into a doll.
After close to two months of inactive blogging, I suddenly dont't know where and how to start.
HI Clubbers Steamboat Trip
The usual group of us were prsent - JM, WM, Ivan, KY, YM, HX, Will(absent).
Went to the back of Bugis to one of the steamboat stalls.
We were grouped into two tables - guys n gals tables.
And we had 'xiao bao' to serve us.
Xin joked and we all thgt that the name of the waiter is Xiao Bao.
That name is actually the shop name casue all staff had the name 'Xiao Bao'.
The guys were concertrating on making their soup taste as sweet as ours.
In the end, they still failed.
Min joked that cause we had 'Nu Ren Wei' here.
Whereas Xin joked that cause that we need to laugh n make merry so the soup can taste sweet.
Home sweet home.
Graduation Day
Apparently almost all of my friends took full day leave on that day just for the ceronomy.
And some even put on make-up and all.
As I was seated in the first two rows, I barely had time to warm my seat before going up to the stage.
After that I had to sit there for any two hours to watch those whom I don't know to take their prize.
It is a wonder that my course actually don't have much students.
One of friends commented that it might be cause some didn't manage to get to wear the gown.
After the cernomy, I had fun taking pics with my friends and classmates.
I didn't get to eat the buffet. Heard that its quite good.
Went to eat at JE with my poly friends.
Just as i was already halfway into my meal, the waitress came over with another serving and make me think that I had eaten the wrong order unknowingly.
Home sweet home.
Ding Tat Feng Dinner Trip
Had dinner there at the paragon outlet with my poly friends after work.
And I alsway ended up having to wait for the two big sisters.
One work in the same company but different department as me.
But she always can worked untill 8 or so de.
Whenever going with her, she is forever the last to reach de.
The other is already notorious for being a late Queen already since Poly.
I ended having to walk here n there to kill time.
Starbucks to end the day.
Soup Resturant
Dinner with my poly friends again.
Again I had to go walk walk first.
This time round is to treat one of the friends who is going to be a happy botak head le.
At orchard outlet de.
I don't know the way.
He brings us to the hotel there that has a stairway so grand like in a fairytale.
But then the inside of the resturant is so unglam compared to the outside.
The food there is okie.
Starbucks to end the day.
With zy around, there bound to have a starbucks.
Spot my colleague there hands in hands with her BF. That colleague is supposed to be single in the first few days de.
Settlers Cafe with FD
Almost a full strength of FD turn up that day except for ah Phyu.
Meet xin n min first n walk around there.
Veron already in that area as she was working that day.
Wt (had the same name as one of my colleague) came n join us some time later.
We were quite high that day.
Luckily we book a table if not that timing is sure packed.
Maybe the staff find that we are too moisy le, he intro some stupid games to us.
Like the 'Tropple down' game - all drop le then is game over. 'Kill duck game' - move your ducks n avoid being killed that alls.
We found some other tables like quite kelian cause couples come and play card games and leave and another large table - guess too big group, inevitable that some will be left out.
Had dinner at the Fishermen's Warft.
The food is very nice. No air con n all.
So the prices there are net. No service charges nor GST.
Just the toilet is quite ulu n open. So it seems abit dangerous to go on your own(for the girls).
GSS Shopping Trip with HX n Ym
OOh... Shopping... A good excuse to shop again.
Meet at Jp for lunch after xin end her work.
Head down to Square 2.
Still not much shops there after opened for so long.
Head down to town in a couple of hours.
Min plan to spend 100 to 200 that day and think that its okie.
We had quite a big gain that day.
Xin forever the one who can resist all the temtations.
I end up with the most items that day.
Feeling so broke after the spree, we had an ecomical dinner.
Home sweet home.
Hi Clubbers Movie Trip
Went to watch the 'Kungfu Panda' with the usual group.
All reached already before me.
HX n YM even had time to had their dumplings lor.
The movie is so funny. Haha... Had a good laugh there.
YM like the smell of the allay. She commented that its nice when its close to the loos.
Dinner at BK.
Company stuffs
During the 'Dumpling festivals', my company organised a company lunch.
The food is quite standard - chicken wings, meat balls, fish cake, noodles, desert.
Not much to my likning though.
Of course, there is the main food - dumplings.
The dumplings are packed for us already.
But I didn't get the chance to eat it.
My family eat it up.
Heard that its from a famous stall.
Been through some interview process with my Boss n the HR department.
The oritentation.
Quite tiring actually.
And one new colleague kept asking alot of irrelevant questions during the powerpoint presentation.
Went for the medical check-up and x-ray.
Had a hard time finding the clinic even.
Is such a long wait.
The check-up is abit too detailed.
You turned me into a doll.
Went to hi club for awhile today. To see the refresher course.
Not alot of people present I guess.
Anyway head down to orcahrd after that. Think that the combo was quite special.
Cause I have to do pantry shopping today. Sad right? I go there do office girl job. Like not learning any skills. Not picking up anything that will be value-added to me.
The snacks even have to be from Marks & Spencer de. Then is like I lived so far away. I had to purposely head down to get for them. Cause the outlets are not that many in Singapore. Furthermore, they are concerated in town areas. (Town areas people more willing to surge on ex snacks?)Naturally, I get those seem attractive to me. Haha... Although I asked the people but none bother to reply me in email. Howevere, its another story when asked privately.
After that do some shoppings. Quite a fruitful trip for some. Had yoshinoya. That aweful place. Although some people like quite enjot the food there.
Seen a quite a number of people today. Like my attachment company, IT staff. One hi clubber. Sec friends. And one who make my day.
Went to some places to slack. Ended up all quite full. So slack at SB - Stars Bucks.
Home sweet home...

There is a big commotion in office today while Boss is out meeting.
Actually there is always some regular commotions in the office. Just that its quite minor that all and can be resolved quite easily. In the beginning, I aksway tried to hear what's all the fighting about. Now I close my ears to it.
The fight warrants my attentions cause the fight is just too big today. So far till I don't dare to look them cause I scare I step on the hidden mines. Their quarrls are always about the amount they have to do. And they alsway compare against each other. So naturally, there cant be 50-50 split of work de.
Even the vice-deputy head also shake her head. And such thing have even happened before. Furthermore. their seating arrangements was specially arranged to minimise any disputes.
Boss never said any of this during the interview. She said the people had worked there for years there. Which lead me to assusme that the working environment is quite good there. The people are friendly. But then, their words are laced with poison or with dragger at hand.
Had a talk with Boss also. She asked me about hw I feel there. Showing some concern. Also filled me in the job scope and responsibilties of a perm staff. Told me that I was going to be accssed by the two officers in 1 month's time. Quite scared now. Fearful of any mistakes that I will or might commit.

Went down to the xtomic practice.
Realised they changed the song now.
While the song signers are learning their song, we seniors had a small meeting of our own.
Happying crapping.
Had mac at kap there.
Super crowded.
Gussed of the P.H tomorrow.
Home sweet home.

Saw my primary school teacher while out with family today. To be more precise, is my PRIMARY ONE form teacher. (so is like 10 od years since then)
She stills remember me, even though I have not been visting her for donkey years. In fact, she knows my whole family. Haha...
We had a small talk. She has been asking about me through my parents. (How popular I'm... Haha...) My sis was with me, but ended up only I talk with her.
I was her first batch of students to be taught in my school, perhaps that explains why we are so strongly remembered by her.And of course some other reasons which she had shared with me only now. I never knew I had formed such an impression of me in her. (She has also left a strong footprint in my heart.)
Even its been 10 years since she taught me, but I find that she has not changed much. Not even much aged. Just now I no longer find her that tall to me now. (Though she is tall). I have grown up (read:tall) since then. Wahaha...
I guess not many students are remembered by their teachers. Envy me ba!!!

Went out with Xin and Min for lunch after their work.
Xin had not reached yet so we went to get Min's specs first.
Xin said she don't want to eat fast food yet she ended suggest mos burger lor. Quite funny right. Realised that min had many zhao to learn from. Her meothod of shaking the milk tea is better than the stirring de. And pooring all the fries into the basket and then shaking it to get all the salt out, is quite good as well.
Slack for awhile there at mos before leaving.
Decided for a long time where to head down after lunch. In the end, we went Lot 1.
The place is not that well-structured cause we cant find any loos at other level other than level one. Besides the place don't have that many shop front as well. So we managed to finish shopping the whole place in one afternoon. But its good that the place has 'Mondo', Cotton On'.
Home sweet home.
Min went off earlier abit cause she need to get back home by 6.

Ya... Down to hi club again. This time for the opening ceronomy.
But I missed the first part of the performance. I only get to see the games part and the thursday instructors performance.
The games part perhaps is dragged abit too long, so some already lost interest. But the thursday instructors performance is quite good, I must said. The song is high and the performers are high as well. Their signings are quite standardized as well.
But through the games part, I can see that some of the new students are quite good. They catch the finger spelling quite fast. Furthermore, when the test is meant for the basic students.
After the debrief, Xin managed to get the monday instructors to perform their 'Uptown girl'. Quite funny lah I must said. Think the audiences must have enjoyed this part. Though the formation is quite musical lah.
Dinner at the street there again. Luckily this time, we changed stalls. To the steamboat. The food is quite nice lah. The fish soup is very sweet lah. But just that, some people went cook the slices of fish, also pour in the 'fish water' also. Abit unhygenic I think lah. The side sides also quite good. The spareribs is nice, fried toufu quite okie lah.
Home sweet home.
