Merry Christmas!!!
Happy Christmas everyone!
Hmm... didn't go back to PL... probably won't anymore. I know some people are sad that I have made this decision, and it pains me too to do that. But sometimes, we have to choose the better of two bad things. *sigh*
Anyways, I went to ORPC on Sunday, then went again on Monday night for their Candlelight Service, then went out with Mel and Kat and Roo to Mac's at PS to chit chat... Took a cab home and talked quite abit with the driver. Even after I paid already, we still sat in the cab to talk for another like 10-15min? Hahaha! He's the first taxi driver I have chatted with who doesn't feel the pressure to keep earning lots of money and thinking that driving a cab is a damn shitty job but they have to do it anyway coz they can't do anything else. In fact, this guy can do many many other things! But he chose to be a cab driver because of the flexibility of time... He's got a really open-minded view of money and earthly possessions, and he's really on the right path when it comes to the value of life and relationships. He's a Buddhist... and he thinks Buddha and Jesus are equal in terms of stature. Hahahaha!
K, nvm my ride home. Went to ORPC again this morning for service, then went for lunch at Ichiban at Esplanade. It originally consisted of myself, Mel, and Claire, but later on bloomed to include say, more than 20 youths? Hahaha! I thought it was quite funny although it's abit disappointing that we don't really get to chat with Kat and Claire in the end. Oh wells... all in all, we had some good fun eating and talking. =) So yeah, it was good.
Went shopping later on. Bought 2 pants and 1 striped shirt from G2000 for a total of $104. What the hell la...
Ok ok... anyways, the reason I felt I had to blog today was coz I wanted to say what went through my head during the Candlelight Service last night.
We were all given a candle through a cup so the wax doesn't drip on everyone's hands and the flame doesn't get blown out by ambient breezes. The effect was good coz when everyone's flame is in the cup, the cup glows too, and since we don't see the flame directly, it's not glaring but diffused and warm. Throughout the service, I noticed some of the youths getting bored (coz there were 4 languages: English, Mandarin, Indonesian, and German) and playing with their candles. Some tilted the cup so the flame licked the insides of it, some burnt a hole in them, some had soot all over the insides so it looks more like Halloween than Christmas. I kept mine straight coz I wanted my cup to be clean and "flawless", so to speak. What dawned upon me may be damn random, but it reminded me of life as a Christian.
When we obey GOD and follow HIS commands and do things that please HIM, we are upright. Obstacles come our way but we easily get through them because GOD is with us and HE provides a certain amount of shelter and protection. But sometimes it gets difficult to stay still and wait for HIS answers, so we start to do things our way, take things into our own hands, be tempted to play with fire, succumb to such temptations etc. That's when we burn ourselves in the process. We don't listen to GOD, we twist and turn and make things difficult for ourselves, and make it difficult for GOD to protect us. Sometimes our flames get snuffed out because of that, and darkness reigns in our life.
What am I getting at? Well, the upright lead a less sinful life because they fear GOD. They do not waver in their faith, and GOD protects them well, as in the "flawless" insides of the cup and the flame burning strong. The strays, however, get darkened insides, holes in their cups (lives), snuffed out... because when we stray, we're not upright, and GOD (the cup) cannot protect us because we're constantly dodging.
One more thing I noticed but couldn't find any reasonable meaning to it: When I hold the candle as stable as I can, it burns just as brightly but lasts a whole lot longer. Vic's one (I'm not saying she sways it all the time) was damn cool! Haha! Her candle melted so fast that pretty soon, she was holding the cup with wax in it and the candle still burning inside. Haha! And there were others' who had their candles really short and all... but oh wells.
Anyways, here's something cool that I just found!
"Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one."
That's the original version! What a whole lot of difference it makes when you complete the sentence! Remember my post on this quite a few weeks ago? Yeah.. it makes me feel a whole lot better to know that oftimes better than master of one. *grin*
Didn't get much presents this year. Got a Redoxon from Doris (thanks!) coz I was quite sick, got a little card from Jia Jia saying she still remembers me, got a box of Almond Roca from Gavin, my colleague... and... that's all. =) But I also didn't make any unique present this year la. I feel too detached from everyone... and lately hasn't been the best of times to make happy little Christmas gifts for everyone. Sorry guys... =P
Ok! I shall iron some clothes then off I go to sleep. Work tmr... zzzzz. At least they pay me well... =) G'night!
Oh, and
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love me

Family Stone
Out of boredom, I decided to watch Family Stone just now.
I think it's a crap show.
It shows love that's so fickle and so easily lost. It shows love that is enclosed within the family. It shows love that is based on mmm... I dunno... because 2 people have been together for very long, that's why they should get married...
I think it's a sweet show too.
It shows that love can be opened up to people whom you initially hate. It shows how love is all encompassing (although the gay couple is abit... errr...). It shows love can just... happen... outta the blue. It shows that there is a happily-ever-after...
I dunno if this kinda thing happens in real life. I'm inclined to think not, but... you never know.
I just hope this kinda stuff doesn't happen to me. Love is complicated enough as it is...
Love is an oxymoron... heh. Like... pretty ugly.
Oh wells...
I need to change blogskin...
Love me

對不起我愛你
看來這次一定回不去了。不是因爲怕，而是爲了妳。
我覺得起初妳就應該跟我說了。這樣，我連回去都不想，不是更好嗎？我連營會也不去的話，我們就不會有相見的機會，就沒有談話的機會。這樣，可能妳就比較容易忘掉我。
看來我真的帶給妳太多痛苦了。對不起。
幾天前聽見了這首歌，就感覺到這是妳心裏的話。我明瞭了。其實我也還愛著妳，但我不知道以後的事，也不想又一次地傷害妳。妳自己說了，妳承受不了多一個打擊。所以，我們暫時不聯絡比較好吧… 讓妳忘了我，也讓我忘了妳。
這首歌就點給妳吧。祝妳生活美好，找到不會傷害妳那麽深的好男孩。
“没别的，只想说对不起；
对不起，我真的爱你。
不管你会怎么想，你怎么说，
也不会改变我的决定。
你知道有时候感情事很难说，
很难说爱人或朋友。
从前到现在我真的感觉要；
一想你我的心就发烧。
想给你听我的心跳，
想你知道我睡的不好。
喝水想着你，
搭车想着你，
合眼闭眼间出现的全是你。
我猜不到你的表情，
我等不到你的回应；
不想难为你，
又不想放弃你，
决定告诉你 对不起。
对不起，我爱你。
没别的，只想说对不起；
怎么样我都会珍惜
不管你会怎么讲，你怎么做，
也不会影响我的心情。
你知道有时候，男孩更难捉摸；
难捉摸爱人或朋友。
现在到永远，我真会感觉要；
一想你我的心就狂跳，
我的模样记不记得牢。
情人卡有没有收到？
读书想着你，
听歌想着你，
大地和蓝天
出现的全是你。
我才不管你的表情，
我才不理你回不回应；
不想难为你，
又不想放弃你，
决定告诉你 对不起。
对不起，我爱你。
你听一听我的心跳，
你看一看我睡的不好。
喝水想着你，
搭车想着你，
合眼闭眼间出现的全是你。
我猜不到你的表情，
我等不到你的回应。
不想难为你，
又不想放弃你，
决定告诉你 对不起。
对不起，我爱你。”
-梁靜茹∶ 對不起我愛你
忘了我吧…

Retail Therapy
In view of last night's outburst followed by the later realization of things to come, and since I am unable to do anything productive in my office yet, I have decided to indulge myself with some onilne retail therapy.
As any careful online shopper would, I have done some research and lookaround to see what is the most value for money product I want. Before I continue, lemme just say that I wanna buy a film scanner. Yes, to scan negative film, as well as positive film, slides and Advanced Photo System (aka APS) film. Why? So I don't need to keep paying to process film AND burn to CD... nor do I need to always develop the whole roll of film when I don't even know if all the exposures turn out alright. Just plain film processing costs about $3 a roll or something? Yeah... then I can scan into my com and just see which one's nice to print... IF I wanna print, of course.
So I've narrowed down my search to these 2 models:
Minolta Dimage Dual Scan III
http://ca.konicaminolta.com/products/consumer/digital_camera/dimage/dimagescan-dual3/spec.html
Minolta Dimage Dual Scan IV
http://ca.konicaminolta.com/products/consumer/digital_camera/dimage/dimagescan-dual4/specification.html
Both products are officially discontinued by Minolta for GOD-knows-what reasons... Anyways, both have received very good reviews online. To sum things up, DSIV can scan full frame pictures while DSIII can't; DSIV can scan images at a higher resolution (3200dpi or 14.6 megapixels) while DSIII scans images at a lower but not lousy resolution (2820dpi or 10.8 megapixels); DSIV scans an image about 9s faster than DSIII. That's more or less it. If you're bored at office too, u can check out the specs from the links provided above. Haha!
Anyways, that's the research part. The buying part, I intend to go Sim Lim Square some day to look and see if I can find brand new ones to see what's the price. Meanwhile, I found online some cheap deals. DSIII someone is selling 2nd hand at SGD$200. DSIV someone is selling 2nd hand too at SGD$400... and another set at SGD$450.
So... which should I get? Hmm...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you know the current standard for healthy water consumption is half your body weight in ounces? For example, I weigh 62kg, which is equivalent to about 136lbs. So my daily water intake should be about 68oz of water. How many litres is that, you ask... Well, I just learnt yesterday that 32oz is 1L. Hence, I need to drink about 2L and a few sips of water everyday... which is what I've been trying to do. But it's really irritating coz every say, 30min? I need to go to the toilet... and it seems like I keep slacking by going to the toilet. Well, of course, I am slacking... not by choice, but because my (what they call) MPID is not up yet. But still, I cannot keep going toilet right? That's why, I'm holding in my pee till it's like gonna burst already then I'll go. I hope that isn't damaging my bladder or kidneys... *crosses fingers*
~~~~~~~~~~~
After lunch just now, I went to the pantry to refill my 32oz cup that I got for free from Billy Bombers some time ago. Jeremy was there with another guy whose name I can't remember. So we started talking about why I wear tie to work when there's no need, and they thought Lisa (my direct boss) told me to do so. Then we talked about my field of study, and they mentioned some really interesting creatures! Hahaha! So in my head, I was making a mental memo to myself, and this is what I got!
http://www.sciencemadecool.com/2007/08/friday-parasi-1.html
And...
http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-Vagina-Penis-Parasite-Fish-60299.shtml
K, maybe the second link gave it away by it's name... but yes! That's one of the creatures they were saying! Apparently when u pee in the water, the current that the pee causes in the water is like the current from the expulsion of water from the gills of larger fish. Attracted by this current, this little catfish swims against the current to locate the source (which should've been the gills) and lodges itself inside by means of a backward-facing opercular spine (a spine at the gills of many fishes). So-o-o... if you were peeing, I think you can imagine where this little fish is gonna end up in... (oh-h-h the pain!!!) Hahaha!
Anyways, there's supposed to be another kind of parasite or bacteria or some shit that's supposed to rot the glans of a penis (don't know if it's the same for girls). Also "obtained" by peeing into the water. But this organism (I've yet to find out what) occurs in Singapore's very own Mandai Reservoir! Is there a Mandai reservoir? Or is it Seletar Reservoir? Somewhere there la. Scary eh? Haha! Owww... *winces*
So remember, don't pee anywhere you like. Look for a toilet! Or at least, don't stay in the water to pee... hahaha!
~~~~~~~~~~
Called Louis just now... had a short little chat with him regarding accomodation. But the topic soon drifted to Mel & I. Well, we didn't talk much, but he said that if things really don't work out, don't force it. But he also reminded me not to give up so easily. After all, every relationship requires effort and sacrifice.
I remembered telling GOD that I don't wanna give up so easily on my next relationship. It appears I almost did! Thank GOD for reminding me of my promise through Louis.
Yesterday's QT talked about how when we suffer and GOD comforts us, it's also for us to comfort others who will experience the same suffering so that GOD's comfort can overflow to them.
"... the Father of compassion and the GOD of all comfort... comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from GOD."
-2 Corinthians 1:3-4
That spoke to me... really.
And after last night's outburst, today's QT, which was a continuance of yesterday's, mentioned that we should use the comfort that we got from GOD to comfort those around us as well... to identify with them, to bring them closer to GOD... because ultimately, GOD is in control no matter how crazy a situation may seem at that point of time... Sometimes we just lose sight of GOD's plans and purposes for us.
"... if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer."
-2 Corinthians 1:6
Through some questions posed after the reading, the inspiration I got for today was "Let go; Let GOD." Cliched, yes... but there's a reason for it being cliched, coz it really IS this way. Sometimes we just need to surrender our wills, our desires, our wants, ourselves, to GOD... Let HIM proceed/carry out HIS plans.
So to Mel, sorry for being so indecisive. I just need some time to surrender myself, as well as ourselves, to GOD. Please be patient k? *hugs* Patient endurance... *nudges Mel* =)
Love me

I Understand
I understand now...
I understand now that when you've made a mistake, you can never ever make amends.
I understand now that when you've made a mistake, you should never ever go back to where you made it.
I understand now that whatever I feel, nobody will ever understand.
I understand now that it doesn't matter nobody knows how I feel because nobody can do anything about it anyway.
I understand now that I need to be more cruel after being cruel.
I understand now that I need to leave.
Yet, after I've created havoc in another haven, how can I go back there to face the people there?
Do I have to find another place?
Do I need to make new friends again?
Do I have to scour the land to look for a place that's willing to accept me, and me willing to accept them?
I guess I do, don't I?
I have never ever blocked anyone before. But I think I should now... I'm sorry, I really think it's best for you. I've even deleted your phone numbers and your details in my phone. You should do the same too. Even if it means that sometime in the future you get over it and you wanna keep in touch again, don't.
I suppose the only avenue to me is this here blog... and yours is the only avenue to you... at least until u decide to change address again...
*sigh*
I wish I had Job's faithfulness and thankfulness...

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Life sucks...
Oh ya... life totally sucks right now.
Totally-otally... and I just wanna run away and hide from the world.
If only I were given that luxury.
In fact, I feel like all the people whom I've thought are friends enough are doubtful too. So much so that I'm only comfortable with and am able to confide in maybe 2 or 3 people honestly, without hiding anything.
Oh wells... *shrugs*
Life sucks.
Love me

Confusion...
My first was a disaster coz I was like a timid mouse.
My second was a beauty in comparison and was really sweet and lovely. Yet, because of a misunderstanding, and because I felt so strongly that GOD had plans for me in Brisbane, I ended this one with downturned lips.
Now it seems that GOD has brought me back here for a reason, and it seems also that he's testing my resolve to try hard at my next relationship. And it really is hard. I can't work under pressure. I need time to think. In fact, lots of time. I like to weigh the pros and cons, I like to imagine the outcomes of whatever possible path there is to take. I like to hear other people's point of views. I like to know as much as I can before I make a decision.
But it feels like the world is crashing in around me. An answer is demanded of me, and I can't keep up answering it... and because of that, it seemed as though my feelings were all a facade... a show put up for GOD-knows-who to see... an evil plot to just be a playboy and toy with the feelings of an innocent girl.
Well, lemme say this to justify myself: I know the feelings were real. I know it never was a facade. I know it was intended to be the bestest love story I can ever write about. But I also know that feelings for another are as real as my having to face not working in a field I love. I know that whatever hesitation I make will be deemed as a default answer that is not in my favour. I know that I do not want to lie or say something in haste and later regret it because that would only make things worse. I just want to think about how I should say things, how I should do things, how I should view things, and what I need to do next.
My perseverence for trying hard is wearing thin. I'm almost on the brink of not arguing and taking the easy route out... that is, to be a bastard of a playboy and go round hurting everyone's feelings just so I can be off the hook from all the bloody thinking. Yet, I do not want to be known as a bastard, much as I already am.
How many people actually understand what I'm going through? How many people actually know my pain? How many people actually live in and realize they live in reality?
Love me
if you
dare...

Jobs and my future... again.
Today I met someone who talked alot to me about my working life and my future again.
I thought his view on work is really quite funny, and rather unorthodox... I mean, well, compared to my ideals. Maybe I'm the one who's unorthodoxed... *shrugs*
Anyways, what do I mean by that? Well, when I find a job, obviously (to me) it has to be something that will interest me... Otherwise, how to do it for the long run? I'd just be working for a couple of months or less, then I'll quit. Then, what's the point in that? And who would wanna hire me for that short period other than sales personnel? Which, by the way, I have totally no interest at all as well.
But his thinking was really quite different. He said I should just try sales for awhile, since most probably I will never be doing sales anymore for the rest of my life. But I don't have any interest at all, I said. And he laughed (mockingly, I felt) and said, who said working's gotta do with interest? Then in my head, I was like, who said it doesn't? If you work in a field or company that you have absolutely no interest in, you wouldn't invest your efforts and time in your work, which means you wouldn't excel, which means no promotion/pay-rise/bonus or whatever... then, why would I wanna work like that for the rest of my life? I'd be frustrated at work, I'll go home frustrated, I'll sleep restlessly, I'll wake dreading to go to work, I'll go to work frustrated... It's a vicious cycle... really vicious. But the way he said it, it was like the whole world is doing work that they're not interested in. And I felt like he thought I was wasting my life. 24 years old and still hanging around looking for a job that I like. And he mentioned someone in China who started a revolution when he was 23... which happened in 1986 or something... Was that Mao Ze Dong? Pardon my lack of history knowledge. Maybe a consultation with Bernice would clear things up... But anyways, I was like, why're you pointing your crooked finger and saying I haven't accomplished much in life at 24 when you don't seem to have accomplished much in life at... whatever age you are?
At the moment, I haven't reached the stage of dreading to see/meet him yet... but if this kind of mockery/insults/"advice" goes on, I'm afraid I'll be running away from him in future... Please, I don't need you to tell me how to live my life. I may not know all the ropes, I may be a greenhorn, but I am able to make my own decisions and bear the consequences of whatever mistakes I made. This way, I have no one to blame or to owe except GOD and myself... but mostly myself since GOD gives us our choices in life.
So ya... please, back off a little. -.-
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Went back to PLCMC today... After service, some of us went to the nearby coffeeshop for breakfast. Having tithed, I have only about $3.10 left on me, which wasn't quite enough to eat what I wanted. So, I just sat down and watched them eat, and lo and behold! Doris couldn't finish her porridge, so I finished whatever she had left. After awhile, she couldn't finish her beehoon and chicken wing, so I finished that too! After awhile, Anqi couldn't finish her Iced Horlicks too! Talk about a complete breakfast. Haha! So, I had a pretty satisfying breakfast, complete with tissue, courtesy of Melanie, for $0.00... wonderful. =)
Anyways, it was raining and I didn't really wanna go for class... and since Doris didn't really wanna go for class either, we went downstairs to look for the other delinquents: Bingjun, Anqi, Dennis, and later on, Ziwei. Chit chat for awhile, and I felt it was abit waste of time to just sit there and stare, I decided to come home.
So I'm gonna pack my bag for camp soon, take a short nap, go out and hope for all the best in camp... as a photographer.
Today is the first day of Young Adult Camp for ORPC as well... I think Claire, Vic and Mel would've liked me to go, and I have an inkling I might have enjoyed myself there more than I would here. Then again, it's not just about enjoying myself... I'm quite willing to help Shawn in his plans for the senior youths... even though I'm quite skeptical and hesitant about it. Oh wells, we shall see how things go...
See y'all in a week's time!
Love me

Jack of All Trades, Master of None..
I've always wondered, and am still wondering: is it better in life to be a jack of all trades and a master of none, or a master of all trades, or a master of one trade and a jack of none?
Obviously, to me at least, a master of all trades is not within my reach... out of reach financially and intelligently.
In the past, I've always thought that it was better to be a jack of all trades. My reasoning: you can be a good jack... a jack who is very good at what he's good at... which is most things. Very good, just not a master. Besides, who can really say he's a master of his trade? Of course, you can say a photographer who does photography for a living is a master of his trade. But there are many more facets of photography that I'm sure he doesn't make a living of, and hence, isn't really a master. For example, most photographers who photograph as a living do wedding photography, portraiture, studio shots... But other facets such as macro photography, landscape, black & white, abstract, infrared, even lomography, he most likely isn't a master of. Why? Because photography isn't just taking nice shots. It's an art. And art is subjective. Very.
Anyways, I've drifted too far... All I meant to say was that I thought being a jack of all trades seemed easier, and made more sense practically. Why does it make more sense? Coz in most trades, most applications do not require "master" level knowledge. Only in very specialized work do you need "master" level knowledge, and you probably wouldn't be consulted to do such work if you're a jack because such work wouldn't be in high demand anyways.
Besides, if you can do most things well, you're able to apply for jobs almost anywhere. With the experience you gained throughout the years, it wouldn't be difficult to get a job... would it?
Looks like I've convinced myself again that being a jack is better than being a master...
*nods* I'll be this way for awhile. =)
Love me
if you
dare...

Jobs
Does getting a first class honours really make such a huge difference in pay, compared to just a bachelor, compared to a diploma holder?
Apparently it does. Or maybe it's just the industry you're in.
Here I am, with just a bachelor... a BSc. What am I doing now? Warehouse assistant... How much am I getting? $50 a day... What about someone with a 1st Class Honours in IT? $3.6k a month... what the hell la! He's like, getting 3 times my pay...
The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. I like wallowing in self-pity. It makes you feel justified and you feel like you don't have to improve anymore... for the moment. The rich are able to pay for courses and education that will enable them to work in better and better environments, thereby earning more & more money, whereas the poor cannot get the education they desire, and they get into some crap job that they don't like but have to stick to for the dough, and they don't perform well coz they don't even like it in the first place... and they just remain at that position and pay for the rest of their lives, or until they get retrenched, in which case, he/she becomes even poorer.
Why am I rambling about this?
Anyways, Auntie Cat (short for Catherine, not meow meow cat) said she recommended me to her boss and her good friend in the bank, so I got the job without getting an interview. Therefore, I think I need to prove my worth, and to show that she did not trust my ability wrongly... I do hope that I can do this job well... I'm quite excited about being able to wear formal clothes everyday. Hahaha! Crazy right? Ya... But formal is nice! Maybe I can even wear tie!
K la k la... I should go bathe and sleep.
By the way, here's the dismantled Actionsampler Flash:
I really hope that this is alright and they will replace a new one for me. =P
Love me

Lomo cameras...
At this time last week, I placed an order for 2 cameras and some accessories. They are as follows:
The ActionSampler Flash
The Fisheye Circle Cutter
The Fisheye Number 2
The Ringflash
These arrived safe and sound on Monday, and I had quite some fun playing with them, although I have to say film is definitely not cheap. Yes, I'm playing with film cameras. I'm backwards. So? It's nostalgic to be using film again, and it's the heartache of not getting good pictures that makes you learn your lessons on light and shutter speed and aperture... Well, these cameras don't have a variable shutter speed or aperture. Haha!
Anyways, I discovered on Tuesday that my ActionSampler Flash is not working! So I quickly emailed the lomo people about it, hoping for an exchange or something. Today, I received this email:
Hi Kane,
It seams as if you camera is faulty!
We will exchange it.
As you are from Singapore it would be to expensive to send us back the camera.
So we would please you to destroy the camera in any way that makes fun to you and send us some pictures of it; so we can be certain that the camera really doesn’t work anymore.
Here you can see an example of an Australian fellow:
http://www.lomography.com/blog/?id=1019&referer=cover
As soon as I get the pictures I will send out a new Action Sampler Flash for you!
PS. We are planning a special Lomo-destruction-Blog for next year, featuring all the funny pictures we got (from wrestling to BBQ…)
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Have a nice Day!
How cool is that?! Hahahaha! Such a rare opportunity to destroy something and feel good about it... haha! K, I might post some of those destruction pictures when I get down to it...
Oh wells...
Thinking of quitting Estee Lauder. I agree with Bingjun that it's no point working so hard there, rushing orders and scanning to the best of our abilities, completing orders fast, yet the others are just taking things slowly, playing, shooting rubber bands at each other, talking and slacking and smoking and toiletting (if there's such a word)... They not paiseh I also paiseh lor... Coz for me, if they don't do work, I can't do work coz I'm at the end of the line. I wanted to hint to Ashelyn (our boss) that I wanna quit, so I told her I had something on the entire week next week and couldn't come, hoping that she'd say my absence would be disruptive and terminate my employment. But she said it's ok, she'll just let my in-charge know... haha! What the hell...
Anyways, Mel's mum's office might have a vacancy. I don't mind working there for awhile since the pay is good... Too bad it's admin. Although I always say I hate admin, I never really did admin work before... so maybe this time if I do get a job there, I can prove to myself that I really cannot do admin work. Haha!
Love me

Billy Bombers
Hmm... today, I went to the evening service at ORPC... Partly was coz Claire was attending that service so Mel & I accompanied her, and partly was coz apparently Batam taxed me quite abit and I stayed up till 4am after I came back and there was the Christmas Fair the next day, AND we (Vic, Eugenia, Joshua, Mel & I) went to SITEX straight after the Christmas Fair, so I could sleep in this morning. K, maybe that's too much info.
Anyways, Shawn called before service saying that everyone was at Anqi's place again and asked if I wanted to go... but I told him I got service and wanted to go home after that... kinda tired. Turns out, I didn't go home straight after that. Had dinner at Billy Bombers Cathay with Mel... Spent $50 on a main course, a side, and two drinks. What the hell... But it's ok... We paid using UOB and we got a free 32oz Coca Cola glass! HU-U-UGE... haha! And the waitress gave us each a $15 voucher and two instant win peel-off cards, which was $8 off a minimum spend of $16, and free buffalo wings worth $13 with a minimum spend of $8. So actually, not counting the minimum spend, our vouchers totalled to *calculates* $51!!! So that meal is essentially free! Can I count it like that? Hahaha! Yes I can! I just did! *neh*
Oh oh oh! Guess what?! My order has already reached Singapore!!! Woohoo!!! Hopefully, I'll be getting it in the next few days... *beams* So cool!!!
K, I think I'm crazy...
I should sleep... another day of work tmr... bo-o-o-oring...
G'night!
Love me

Batam Trip...
Today I went to Batam with Estee Lauder... people from the warehouse as well as people from Information Systems... i.e. the IT people.
If I had known today was gonna be as BORING as it was, I would rather have stayed in Singapore. I only decided to go that time coz I heard we were gonna be paid our usual $50 a day, AND the trip is paid for us too! But today, I only know that the trip is being paid for... nothing else is confirmed. -.-
Anyways, I guess the highlight today was lunch... Chilli crabs, prawns, sambal kangkong, lemon chicken, deep-fried squid rings... yummy!
After lunch, most of us went to this shopping centre that was like hell to me. I really felt like dying when I was in there... why? Coz there was NOTHING there! The toys were phony, the department store had pasar malam goods, the electronics stores sell uber backdated, non-compatible handphone cables. Luckily, the supermarket never fails me. I found SunSilk leave-in conditioners, 120ml, selling for *calculates* SGD$1.70!!! Woohoo!!! Haha! I bought 4, Bingjun bought 6! Or was it 5? Hahaha! Craziness... But it was cheap! Singapore was selling it for like, $4.05 per bottle. So cool right? Hahaha! And and, I saw this Colgate toothpaste that's GOLD in color! Wo-o-o-ow... *pupils dilate*
Anyways, the shopping centre was actually a lowlight of the day. Imagine the above, PLUS the fact that we had to be stuck there for 4 or 5hours... *faints* And you can't even commit suicide coz the 2nd floor was the highest you could go to! What the hell! But then, we saw the thought-to-be-extinct A&W! So-o-o-o cool! I had an upsized rootbeer float and a curly fries, and it amounted to like SGD$3+. Hahaha! How I wish Singapore had such things at such prices. Anyways, after that, we just slept in A&W until the bus came and picked us up...
Anyways, I don't wanna rant about it anymore. Suffice to say, I am never gonna go Batam again.
*ahem* Rephrase that: I never want to go to Batam again.
Christmas Fair at ORPC tmr, then after that going SITEX to look for things to buy. Haha! Crazy right, when I don't even have any money... sucks.
K, off to design posters for church camp next year!
*sigh*
