Mood: Exhausted
Listening to: Fly Me to the Moon Version 2009 - Evangelion

It's 12:17am right now and I just had my dinner. That's right. Dinner.

Mom and Dad went to pick me up after work and we went to Mustafa to shop for some kitchen stuff. I don't know about you guys but family affairs such as these are painful for me. We're not the type of family that go out on Sundays to bond or have mealtimes together, just so you know. So when Dad gets the brilliant idea to do a "family thing", it usually ends up horrific. Today was no exception. OTL

Anyways, work was tiring today. Another promotion update so I spent the day writing "2 for ___" repetitively. Also, we have a new staff at work and we spent quite a bit gossiping lol.

... And I'm getting fired by the way.

I don't hold Rose responsible. I kinda expected this was coming. I mean, I can barely cover my minimum work hours of 25 hours a week. So here I am, soon-to-be-jobless. I've been trying to find another job for myself, preferably a night job or a weekend one. Mom and Dad have pretty much accustomed themselves to me supporting myself so I think it's best if I continued working. I'll lessen the financial strain on the family at least.

That's all for my mini-update today. I still have work tomorrow morning so I'm off to bed. I have a feeling that one day, I'm just gonna collapse somewhere. I pray it won't be somewhere uncool like at a public toilet or something haha.

Edit: I've been checking for job opportunities online and... are those jobs for "young, attractive and outspoken girls" with a pay of "$200 - $1,200 per hour" what I think they are?

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy

... I like this song. *hums*

Haha, it's been a long time since I posted something. I meant to give a lengthy update but I got carried away reading Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire (totally justified, coz Lestat and Armand are hot and pitiful blokes noIdidn'tcried) so it's time for another one of my condensed posts~! 8D

As per usual, I shall only update with things I deemed worthy to mention. *lazypeas*

*~*11th February, Wednesday*~*

My original plans was screwed up a bit so I was quite free for the whole morning. Met up with a friend at CCK MRT where we took a bus to Orchard. This is like the umpteenth time I've been to Orchard this year but there isn't really much to do in small Singapore. OTL Went to grab a bite and I got my present from him, this really fancy looking mirror that we saw at Bugis the other day! So utterly pretty~! And you can slot a picture in the top mirror! *lovesloves it*

And for a lack of better things to do, we walked all the way to Clarke Quay after that, lol. There was also this guy who asked us for the kiblat (direction to face when performing prayers) at Takashimaya. That's right - the kiblat in a shopping center district. After directing him to the mosque nearby, we continued walking only to have the sky wrenched it's clouds dry on us. Thank god I had an umbrella but we were still drenched. OTL

And another thing that I've learnt is that it pays to be shameless. Initially, my friend wanted to get this butterfly pendent for me that we saw at Bugis but the bloody sod manning the cart stall had it sold off already. And sacre bleu, we saw it at Clarke Quay! At the cart stalls near the clubs by the Singapore river! The owner was a really funny guy, haha. Our exchange went something like this...

Me: Excuse me, how much is this?
Guy: Twenty-two dollars.
Me: //WTF. The one at Bugis was $25.//
Friend: You wanna get it?
Me: I'm not so sure... But I really like it...
Guy: *took down the pendent* Thank you~!
Me: O_O //Is he being sarcastic or something?// Um...
Guy: Okay, okay. How about $18?
Me: !! ... $18... The one we saw at Bugis was $25...
Guy: Bugis Junction right? That's another one of my store.
Me: !!! Okay... o_o Mm... $18 is a good price but... Price cannot be lowered any more? It's my birthday today...
Guy: Okay lah. Fifteen dollars.

IT PAYS TO BE A SHAMELESS PLUG. >8D


*~*13th February, Friday*~*

Friday the thirteenth stayed true to its name. There was this creepy guy who followed me around in NTUC during my work break and he tried to exchange numbers and was all leery. When I told him I didn't have a handphone, he told me to ask him out one day and we can go shopping for one together. I dumped his number afterwards. I didn't like him. D:


*~*28th February, Saturday*~*

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE MY PAYDAY DAMMIT.
HQ didn't receive the part-timers' work hours so no pay for us. Yet. BUT STILL. D<


*~*02nd March Monday*~*

WORKED FROM 8AM TO 11PM FFFFF-
STOCK-TAKE IS A HATEFUL BEETCH.


*~*04th March, Wednesday*~*

Which is yesterday~! One of the rare occasions when I decide to look good working so I applied make up haha. And there was this Malay guy with two friends and two little kids looking at hair dyes while I was doing stock-receiving nearby. It went something like this..

Little kids: *doing what little kids do best, making noise*
M.Guy: [in malay] Don't be so noisy, wait you'll disturb that sister.
Me: *ignores coz oh god SIX toteboxes to go through OTL*
Little boy: EH THIS HAIR DYE IS GOOD IT IS IT IS.
M.Guy: Eleh, this little kid like real liddat. As if he's the one who's gonna dye his hair.
Me: *snorts with laughter*
M.Guy: Hmm? *notices me*
Me: *bites lip to stiffle smile*
M.Guy: Eh.. *motions to the kid* This sister like knows what we're talking about...
Me: *pretends to be engrossed in papers*
M.Guy: CHEE CHONG FUN CHEE CHONG FUN.

I totally started grinning then. It was either that, or laughing like a maniac.

He was out at the store waiting for me during closing time and we walked together to the MRT. We talked and he was kinda... a touchy-feely guy. But friendly enough, so I didn't mind much. Before you go "OMG WHORE ALERT." at me, I have to say that I've been feeling rather... lonely lately. Everyone went on their separate ways to their respective schools and everyday, work has been a monotonous routine for me. Though I don't complain coz I could be having it much worse, I sometime wish that things would be a little different. I feel so unhappy sometimes.

But like I said, I'm grateful for what I have so yeah. ...I don't really make much sense now coz I have to leave for work yet there is this pull towards finishing this post so I am just letting my thoughts flow through my fingers onto the keyboard and- ... Okay what was I talking about again? XD

So it's off to work now. I'll be having lunch later with the guy. We'll see how things go on from there. (:

Listening to: Memories of You - Shoji Meguro

'Sup losers. I'M NOT DEAD.

... Okay um, I'll try to be orderly about this. Firstly, the reason I'm online~! My manager has been asked to reduce my working hours so this leaves me with more time to do... whatever the hell I want to, lol.

I think it's coz they end up paying me a lot. You know how part-timers are paid hourly while full-timers are paid a fixed rate regardless of working hours? Since I usually stay back so much, they prolly ended up paying me more than expected. Hurhurhur.

So these days, rather than my usual schedule of 10-14hours, my hours have been reduced to 7-10. This might sound rather much but it actually includes my travelling time of two hours per day. Why must I live so far. OTL

Like I said, there's a lot to blog about - but I usually forget as soon as I'm on the keyboard OTL - so I'll try to be orderly!

Also, check out the new moodtheme and song. Sweet eh? 8D

*~*Reply to taggers*~* (I don't want to flood my tagboard. D: )

Geelyn: Thanks for the sympathy dear D: Sometimes, crap happens. Hope you had a nicer day then me~!
Wani: Haha, thanks~! And wani (in Japanese) means ALLIGATOR. XD
Kit: OKAY. 8DDD Must hang out~!
Pls help: I'm sorry I couldn't help you. Why does this sound so cliche-movie-line-from-angsty-hero. I tried to do the survey for you but it seemed to be already closed. Also, a word of advice: Try tagging with your name. Putting "Pls help' makes you sound like you might be a possible virus, or a desperado. Possibly both. No offence! :)
Janice: That smell must be you. Tee hee, joke~! Thanks for checking back anyways. :D Hope you like the new update since it's SUPPEEER long. XD


*~*Prom*~*

I've been promising to blog about this but I will take the chicken's way out.

Someone spiked my drink so I ended up dancing the night away. I can't really recall what happened after that except that I enjoyed myself excessively. I woke up the next day with aching feet. Psst, one of the information provided above is a lie. Spot the not?


*~*Holiday*~*

I went to Thailand~! Okay to put it precisely, I went to Langkawi, then Hat Yai before finally going to KL and returning home. Tiring but quite awesome. I'm not so sure however, if it was worth working without any off-days just to make up for my abscence for 6 days.

Langkawi was frigging SCORCHING and no amount of SPF protection could save your skin. My sister-in-law was with us and it was her first time outside of singapore (JB does not really count) so we went to do all sorts of tourist-y stuff. Went to the underwater world (OVERCHARGING! It used to be RM17 and now it shot to RM28! D: ) and the cablecar (Long queue was long.).

AND I NEED TO SQUEE this is my blog so shut up I can squee here. My dad has a friend in Langkawi and every time we go there we meet up. Well, he has this adorable little boy called Zulkarnai and he gave me a flower. It was so sweet~!

At their farm :-
Me: *feels someone tugging on sleeve* Hmm? *turns around*
Nai-nai: *is holding out a yellow flower to me*
Me: ! Oh, is this for me? :)
Nai-nai: *nods and smiles shyly*
Me: Thank you! :DD
Nai-nai: *goes away blushing*

FASDFADSFAS UTTER CUTENESS. I totally melted. Guys don't really do these kinda small, sweet gestures these days. They should learn from him!

Also, he was wearing a sweater with the numbers 99 on it. Nai-nai, ninety-nine. Geddit? Geddit?? CUTE RIGHT? ... Oh god I'm such a pedo.

Thailand was less... tourist-y for us. Parents sealed themselves up in the hotel room while we youngsters prowled the streets. Didn't do much shopping but I did get this awesome pair of kickass 5+cm platforms (Will update with pictures soon coz I'm a show-off like that).

ALSO, I SAW A LADYBOY. HURHUR.


Shit, long post is long. ...Uh, just one more section then.

*~*Miscellaneous*~* (Why do I always end up choosing incredibly gay colors for the headings?)

Remeber how I said that the heat of Langkawi can pwn your skin? Well, my cheeks started peeling again (after it got all better too!!! D:) and my acne was acting up. And then I discovered the miracle - Himalaya. Not the mountain, you jackass. It's this brand of products which uses herbs and other healthy what-nots in their ingredients. Just two washes with their neem face wash and my skin has seen an obvious improvement. How obvious? Well, the huge zit on my forehead has been reduced to just a little dot. I highly recommend this product!

Am trying their acne-and-pimple cream too. The effect is not as fast as the neem wash but there's no side-effects. I'm willing to give this one time to prove itself. Anyways, this is better suited for me than Acneclear, NUteen and Clearasil (God, I hate this brand. It killed my skin. D< ) so for all you guys who have trouble finding the right cleanser, I say go for this. Also, Watsons is having a 10-50% discount on a lot of products and this happens to be one of them so trying it now would be damn economical! *Not really shameless advertising coz it's the truth*

Other things I have blown my cash on includes make up, USA Cosmode (*~*TOTALLY WORTH IT*~*), and a spanking Wacom Bamboo graphic tablet.

Yes, I love my pay. *flaunts*

Listening to: I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage

I'm kinda... pissy today, haha. I know it's not really good to be posting all "RAWR RAAANT." after not updating for quite some time but I've had a really horrible day and I can't help it.

(To put it simply) Horrible occurrences of the day:

#1: Stomache. Real horrid one too. I was late leaving the house for work because of it.
#2: Since I was late, I took the train. Oh god, cramped like sardines. Plus, I have the suspicion that some of the commuters did not bathe. Ew.
#3: Felt sick throughout my shift. 'Nuff said.
#4: My till was not balanced and I had to pay the shortage out of my own pocket. I am not entirely sure if it's my fault since we pretty much just use each others' tills but since my account was logged on, it was my responsibility.
#5: I got lost on the way to Bukit Merah's library. Imagine me, all sick and lethargic, shuffling about the whole of Bukit Merah Town Center. Ayup.
#6: I found out I have a $3 fine for overdue books.
#7: I took the wrong bus home and ended in the middle of nowhere.
#8: I went trekking. You know those steep hills all over SGH? Yeah, I conquered them all to go to the 190 bus stop.

My off day is tomorrow so I'll update about prom and other positive stuff then. A good night's sleep should fix me up. Hopefully.



... I feel so... upset.

Firstly, Gokudera in this content mood picture is so incredibly hot.

...Okay. So the first day of work was today. It was... okay. I was the first to arrive at the HQ (fsadfas I was 45mins early; talk about kiasu). Over there, I made a new friend (Haziqah is a really nice person! II HITO!). Sadly, we got posted at different places; she was assigned to Ngee Ann City and I, to Bukit Timah Center. At first, I was incredibly envious. I mean, she got the most hip and happening place (KINO IS JUST 3 FLOORS ABOVE HER FSADFAS; I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STAND IT) while I got posted to the back of beyond. But turns out it was a blessing in disguise coz NAC is THE biggest and busiest outlet and people often quit coz it's just that strenous. (HANG IN THERE HAZIQAH! >0<)

My co-workers are very nice people (II HITO.) and so is my manager! There's this lady called Azza (Her name is Azizah but short forms are totally the in thing now) and she showed me around and stuff. I'm supposed to be under her guidance. I'mma apprentice nao rofl.

Apparently, we have an old hag for a supervisor whom I haven't had the misfortune to meet yet. From what everybody says of her, it seems like she's the reincarnate of the Wicked Witch of the West.

And you know how we refer to shelves as shelves? Not in the sales department. We have the panogram, the power buys, the top shelf, the waterfall, the canadian cross, etc. My head is reeling from everything now. @_@

All in all, this is really a whole new world. I'm glad that I got posted where I did - everything's pretty much fine enough for me not to be not glad, haha. I may not be online much these days coz working is really tiring so I'll be using this blog as a means to communicate with the world. ...Not like anyone reads this heap of junk. XD

OFF TO SLEEP NOW. Yes, I am that tired.

PROM NIGHT TOMORROW. Thank you Sarah, for being my fairy godmother. ;D
