IT WILL BE 2009 SOON!!!
quite excited about the new year ahead... there will be many changes, some good some bad. no matter what, the new year will be a turning point for everyone!!!
the good changes are that i will be working for the 1st 3 months of the new year!!! YEAH! applause please!
i will also be an adult ( paying adult fare!!! eh? good? ) ... welcome to the world of adults! eh...
'A' level results coming out in feb! hopefully it will within my expectations!!!
Entering university which is a whole new thing to me! no spoon-feeding anymore... everything is dependent on yourself.
hmm.can't think of any bad ones right now...but it is good! no bad things for the new year!!!
hopefully what i wished for will come true in the new year ahead.
anyway,
7th day at work today! it is a half day today... which is, i have said it many times, not to my benefit... although i can sleep late. as usual, i did matching and typing the information into the computer, filing and photocopying.
i also handed up my timesheets today!!! thanks to my colleague who helped me to fax the timesheets over! and i will get my 6 days' pay ( taking into account the 2 half days ).
went shopping with my sis after work today...nearly slept when waiting for her...too tired due to late nights... we bought some bottoms. quite cheap too. yeah. and i can wear my new bottom to work next week! quite excited! hopefully the bottom is allowed to wear to work ( because it is actually a jeans, but look like an office pants )...
well!!!
happy new year to all!

I suddenly thought of something which is quite interesting to me...
today, one of my colleague (let's call her A) and me went to the warehouse to do stock-check. it was soon lunch time and we were both hungry. i was not yet done with my work so A went to call the office to ask somebody to buy lunch back for us. A called someone (let's call her B) and B was very angry as a result. after talking to A, B said very loudly " treat me like a maid ah? ", i heard from another colleague (let's call her C) that B said very loud such that the whole office can hear. C was very upset that B said such words. during lunch, C told us (with persuasion from A and me of course) what B said. It is really very upsetting to know that people working in the same office are talking behind people's backs. haiz. i think that this is interesting because i didn't really experience it before, especially in an office environment.
so A, C and me talked about some other people in the office and B too... we just keep it to ourselves... it is the best way.

work was okay today...time passed much faster than normal...because i have to go to the warehouse and do stock-check.the whole morning was there.i was quite nervous at times because we had to ensure that there are the correct number of goods and have to tick against it.very rushed but quite fun afterall. can try that again...haha.
today, i was also given a new seating place because one person came back from her break... the new seating place was in a corner...really in a corner. but it was a good place to do work. you won't be distracted by people walking in and out. although it is quite warm there and you don't have a computer, everything else was fine...
yesterday's work was quite boring. i just did matching the whole morning. and when i finished doing, it was like 10.40am,and i have to 'stop and stare' because everyone seems to have something to do and i don't dare to ask them. that period was the worst time since i worked in the company...super super sian. you have to act as if you have something to do, like turning the pages of some papersheets and looking at the files... woah.SIAN.it is better after lunch.AT LEAST i have something to do... that is something i want. do some work and time will pass fast.
i have worked for 6 days... i felt that SO FAR work is easier than study. you only have to work that 8 hours and after that you are free to do anything you want. watch TV,play computer... ... whereas for study, even after school, you also have to rush home to revise and do homework...even waiting for the bus makes you worry that you do not have enough time when you get home... at least when i am waiting for the IMM bus from jp even though it is like 20 mins wait, i do not need to worry about not having enough time to do this and that when i get home.
although the 8 hours work is quite tough and it is a headache, it is only for that 8 hours.
perhaps... maybe i am working part-time so i felt this way... permanent job may be a different thing after all... hmm. there is more to learn on this long journey...

4th day at work yesterday...
the office was quite empty as some people had taken leave. but it is good also, we can concentrate on our work...
there was a lot of work to do yesterday and everybody was like giving work to me... nvm. i can learn at the same time too. although i am doing the same thing over and over again.
hopefully, there will be new things next week...
there was a PRB gathering yesterday too. i went to join them after my work at around 6.15pm... hy, sm, shirley went off for their things so left are xy, jl, yq and me... they went to swensons and they sat there for quite long before i arrived... so we ate and chatted... very funny though. haha.
after dinner, we walked around for a while before heading home...
well, there is a holiday next week as well, which will be of little benefits to me. my pay is given according to the number of hours i had worked. so a holiday means my pay will be cut accordingly. so sad. but a holiday means i can rest as well... not really feeling that well since christmas eve. :(

3rd day at work!!!
today is a half-day, so we worked till 1.30pm only...
i typed stuff into the system today...for 4 hours and i only did a little bit.haha. my speed is quite slow today...everyone was a bit slack today too...well. hopefully there will be some benefits for me because those permanent staff got time-off or whatever when there are half-days... what about temporary staff? hmm.
waited for the bus at 1.30pm...but the bus seemed to be out of sight. so 4 of us decided to call a cab. total i think is around $8 plus, not sure if there is booking fee because the cab fare is quite cheap. anyway hope that we can claim. haha. :)

Day 2 at work!!!
at first, i thought it was worse than day 1 because i am doing the same thing and worst, i am photocopying stuff... although i really learnt more about the photocopier machine, it was boring just standing there and photocopying...
but... but...
towards the end, i finally used the computer!!! i learnt how to type stuff into the computer!!! it is a new thing so i am quite happy... learning new things and money rolling into my pockets. really kill 2 birds with one stone! haha. :)
today, i also get to know more about my colleagues. went out to have lunch with one of them...she bought us to the nearby canteen.the food there was cheaper than that outside... around $2.50 to $3. quite affordable but i do not want to have lunch outside everyday. this is going to cost a bomb. so sad...
i hope i am loving this job more and more...

FIRST day at work today!!!
At first, i was afraid that i couldn't find the person at the bus pick-up point...but luckily, she was just not far away from me... and there is a new permanent person going for work today too! so i was not alone, i sat with her on the bus... chatted a little... reached office at around 8.25am then waited for a while for the people there to teach me things and ask me to do things... i think i waited for nearly an hour before i really sat down to start doing things... so i earned a free hour!!! haha... but it is really boring during the free hour... i just sat there like a block. haha.
time past very fast and it was soon lunch... i went down with the boss and the new permanent person to the eating place...ate bread. then they chatted... really talked about anything on the earth. haha. it was quite fun listening to them because i thought their topic was quite funny. lunch was from 12 to 1pm...
i continued my work like 10 mins before 1pm la. anyway, continued the matching of stuff till 5.20pm. then they started packing and left at 5.30pm sharp. the bus was already there waiting for us.
so, the 1st day was okay... i think there's more to come, more difficult stuff... i hope i can cope. hopefully, i didn't make any mistakes for the matching or else it would be disastrous.
the people there were quite okay and some chatted with me too. like what i am going to study in university... haha. someone supported me in what i am hoping to study next time! hopefully i can really get in the course!
tomorrow will be better!!! the imm bus must improve! late for 15mins... but it is okay because there is really a big jam...
i can only take the imm bus till end of this year!!! so sad, because the imm management decided to terminate the bus services to boonlay and clementi...very very sad. this means that i must spend an extra busfare everyday!!! and from next year onwards, it's adult fare!!! aww...painful. 2 trips a day means $1.40( not very sure of the adult fare... )? plus my lunch... haiz.
not sure why they want to terminate the services... i will be the first to object la. anyway, it is set already...
must treasure the remaining days to take imm bus to boonlay and vice versa... haha...

Went to sign the contract yesterday...3 months contract.
hopefully if i really like the job, it can be extended till next june. then i will not have to worry about finding a job after the contract ends...
there is pros and cons anyway.
went out with pearl and yanqiu after that...
went jp and ate at kopitiam. then we walked around the new jp. shopped around and yq bought her pants. we shopped till around 1.45pm then went on to kbox at clementi... we took the mrt and we laughed quite a bit during the trip. it was the first time that the station was announced wrongly. the next station after boonlay was lakeside but the speaker from the train said 'next station was tanah merah. passengers who want to go to expo or changi airport please alight at the next station and move to the middle platform' . when we reach clementi, it would be pasir ris instead. and pearl said earlier that we are going chalet when we are buying some tidbits. so everything would be what we 'expected'. haha. what's more was that pearl really believed that there is a train straight to tanah merah... her facial expression was so funny... :)
then we reached kbox at around 2.10pm. the $10 offer was only till 5pm. we sang many songs, songs from jay chou, she, jj lin, mayday and some others(can't remember)... some songs were a failure. haha. need more practice.
after kbox, we went imm shopped for a while also...
i bought my first magazine(i think so)!!! i zhou kan. the feature was on bobby au-yeung, raymond lam, kelvin... haha. so i bought it. it was OKAY. should have some more photos. :)
today, i went out with mummy to jp again(it was my 4th time in 3days)...went to buy the blouse that mummy wanted and then walked around... bought the blouse that i want too. went to shop for shoes for my first day at work on monday...window-shop... actually wanted to catch a movie but in the end, we didn't because we wanted to see how the movie fares(didn't really want to waste the 2 free GV tickets) first before deciding to watch it.
in all, it was quite okay.
hmm. think i am not buying any new year clothes... bankrupt already. so sad...

Went for interview today and i got the job!!!
i don't know whether to say today's a good day or a bad day...
i leave my home at 8.40am today and walked to je interchange.
took the mrt to boonlay interchange. i reached boonlay at around 9.03am. then waited for the bus. waited till 9.14am and board the bus. reach the place at around 9.37am. the bus trip was considered quite fast, because the info given by the company was that the bus ride took 29mins.
i walked around like a fool, looking up and down, left and right for the company. but, the company was not in sight. was scared at that time... imagine yourself in a foreign place with huge vehicles driving past and you standing there alone... wah. scary.
then i called mummy... called the company. i think i walked for like 33 mins before i finally found the company. thanks to the help from the company or else i will be stranded there like nobody's business. as expected, i was late for the interview but have already told the person-in-charge of the interview...
wah. really scary. really. the only person walking around and the rest are huge vehicles, cars... was glad that i finally found the place.
fortunately, i got the job and it pays quite well (to me). far from what i expected. but looking at the people in the company, i sort of see that they are quite busy. hope that i can cope with it, coming monday. transport is also provided, but still quite inconvenient for me... no matter what, i was quite happy to get the job... although it is not what i really really want. haha, must be satisfied.
one more thing is that it seems that i am the only one who went for the interview... so it is like the company already accepted me in the first place and just want to see my face(???haha) ... the interviewer didn't really ask me questions like ' tell me about yourself ' during the interview. it was more like a session for me to know more about how to get to the pick-up point for the transport... ...
actually tomorrow can start work already but i want to enjoy somemore before working. haha.
so, monday i am starting work and tomorrow i am going to sign the contract. 3months. extendable.
haiz, i feel so bad to turn down an interview... the person was like very enthusiastic and i suddenly told him that i can't make it for the interview... very very bad... :(
hopefully, they will not bear a grudge or something...
anyway, tomorrow going out with pearl and yanqiu... celebrate yq's birthday although it is very belated... kbox!!!
must enjoy tmr's outing!!!

Went for interview just now...
it was better than expected. i sound more confident and i did not stammer... i was not as nervous also... surprise surprise.
i hope to get this job... it is like finance/accounting or admin. this job will help me in future if i would to study accounting in future... i kind of like this job best out of the 3 interviews i went. hopefully i will get this job!!!
i seriously need to get a job fast...
just before i went to see the person from recruit express, 2 people asked me if i can take a health survey. since i was early, i agreed. and this move cost $187. i didn't thought that they expect me to buy something because i was only 18 (although my attire was quite okay). in the end, $187 is gone...
hopefully it really works...
in less than a month, i spent nearly $1k... really heart ache. i just need to work 1 month taking a salary of at least $1k home and all these monetary problems will be gone!!! aww... find a job quick...
what's more is that christmas is coming and this means i have to spent more $...
waiting for JOB, CNY, BURSARY...

went to an agency for a short interview in the afternoon...
it was okay but still do not sound confident.
after that, went shopping around orchard...far east plaza and another shopping centre(forgotten)...it was fun shopping alone but sometimes when there is no customers in a shop, i will dare to enter the shop. the sales people will look at you and walk behind you.quite irritating but it is their job. can't blame them. sometimes when you need some opinions and comments, there is no one there too. in all, shopping alone is a good experience. i have shopped alone twice and have enjoyed both trips. yeah!
another interview tomorrow... hope it will go well!!!

Just went for my interview...
it was quite tough going there as i am not really sure of the way...thanks to the map i brought, the bus driver and the agent!!!
it was quite scary because there is hardly anyone there.
i had to wait outside a door as the door can only be open from inside. wait for someone to let me in. i felt quite afraid, flustered at that moment and when i could not find the way to the place.
the interviewer was like shocked when i told her i only worked as a warehouse helper. ' oh, there goes my job!!! ' , i felt. i was nervous during the interview too.
aww...
what's more was that i met karen when i was on the way out! she went for the same interview! i think i cannot make it for this interview because i think karen had more work experience than me and she was more confident... oh oh...
what can i do now?
just face the fact.
LIFE STILL GOES ON.
so i will just continue the job hunting till i found a suitable one...
*hunting*...

Went for a one day job yesterday...
worked as a packer at DHL Benoi at Tuas. it includes packing of products into different boxes to be sent to the different Watsons branches.
it is tiring, standing and walking all day...have to carry the products too.
and it pays quite little...
worked from 1315 to 2300...luckily daddy came to fetch me home.
whatever it is, at least i got some work experience.
Went Eunos for some Network Marketing thing. It sounds super incredible and unbelievable...
earning like $2k when you just find like 6 customers to buy the products. and the products are in demand as said by the managers... and you can get some car benefits from the company. imagine owning your OWN car by the age of 20!!! the youngest car owner is 18!!! Wonderful!
but i think it is a tough job. you have to work very hard for the beginning. AND it is only for the beginning and you will have a decent salary.
i went for the training today but for only 2 ++ hours...need to go back for another training. i want to give it a try... take it as a challenge. :)
Went to recruit express and find some jobs today too... hopefully i can get a job ASAP!!!
anyway, got a job interview this coming monday... hopefully it will not turn out as the previous interview... hopefully i get the job too!!!
GOOD LUCK!

Inerview was okay yesterday...it lasted around 10 mins. 2 interviewers.
the questions asked were okay.
but i am scared that they will mind me not having any work experience.
well...they will inform me later in the week.
Prom yesterday!!!
went to do our make-up and hairdo at jean yip yesterday.
it was quite a good experience, only that when the make-up person is doing the eyelid, eyelashes, felt tears flowing out... haha. the tear gland is activated...
the hairdo came out quite nice. got some good comments from others. :)
all these does not come free... what a pity. it was $112.35 .
well, at least i had some good comments for the hair, it was a total makeover as said by others.
so, i think it is money well spent.
in all, the prom night was okay, except that i didn't manage to take photos with some people. regret quite a bit. :(
after the prom, our class took some photos, even on the stage. haha. it was quite fun.
then we went clarke quay walked...walked for quite long before we found a place to rest and chat. they played pool... their skills were not bad la. quite nice watching others play pool.
then took cab home at around 2.12am... reached home at 2.30am...
in all, it was quite nice. but... but... there are still some regrets.
not enough photos taken. the food was quite okay.
so, it was over. it was tiring yesterday. but the comments were good! haha.
:)
spent really a lot of $$$ for this prom. bankrupt already. must eat grass these few days.
more importantly, must have a job so that my savings will go back to normal!!!
