it's all that i need in my life

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

so a lot of stuff has happened since april. started my new job at sports sch. so far i've been at my desk at the staff room most days but sometimes i get to relieve classes or invigilate tests. it's kinda weird going "5 mins left" or " you can go to your next class". i've even gone on an excursion with a class. to the discovery centre of all places. hadn't been there for over a decade i think. the discovery centre itself wasn't that great, i prefer the science centre. haha. thankfully my class was small, like 7 students. so always kept calling out for my 7 dwarves. though they weren't exactly small. haha.

apart from work i've been meeting up with the drama mamas and making the most of erica's return. i also went to fiesta where i played some really weird and wet game and got a cardboard on raffia string medal from 3/3. haha. saw chris selling bears and bags, and met her homies and bffs. haha.

oh i'm going off to hk next mon with godma. i have no idea what i'm gonna do there, all i have on the itinerary so far is shopping and disneyland. haha. i don't even know how much to bring. thankfully we're staying in aunty leslie's apartment, so savings on accomodation can go to shopping! haha. on a side note, i wish sports sch was like normal schs and had the full 4 weeks of hols. but nope, they only have 2, cause the sch will be disrupted by yog or something like that. so it's straight back to work on mon aft getting back on sat. sigh.

in other news, i realised all my tv shows are all ending! like ending the series completely. i've got one more season of ugly betty, one more of supernatural, and three of smallville left before they're completely complete. how depressing ): but then again when you think that tom welling's been playing clark kent for 9 years already, it kinda puts the length the show's been running for into perspective. but man you have to be a special kind of good looking to be a 30-something playing a 20-something. haha.

been a while since i blogged, but that's cause work's been crazy. all i wanna do on my off days is sleep. haha. but that's gonna change soon, cause i've got a new job! haha. it's at sports sch, which is all i can say for fear of breaching some confidentiality thingy.

don't get me wrong, leaving uss was hard. i'm totally gonna miss the people there. yesterday was my last day, and i'll admit i started to well up when saying bye to everyone at the dinner gathering. ok it wasn't really dinner cause we only met at like 11pm, but you can't help it cause the store closes late. the place was damn cool la, we had the whole top floor to ourselves, and the throw pillows everywhere and low tables. so funky. haha. other than that i'll miss the interacting with guests, esp the cute little kids that come in. yesterday i met this cute little girl named savannah who got one of those bouncy light up balls. she kept throwing it around and giggling. sooooo adorable!

met the girls, including bongy bong, for dinner on thurs. i love meeting them, i always end up with stitches in my sides from laughing so hard. this time we were laughing bout animals, esp octopodes and cats. yes according to oxford, octopodes is the plural for octopus. i just learnt that. another of life's mysteries solved. haha.

recently i've been too lazy to blog. going up and down for training is draining. haha that rhymes. well i'll be on day 6 of 10 tmrw. so just abt halfway thru with it. it's been fun so far, don't get me wrong, but coming from a super slack few months of 10 hours of sleep and watching ellen everyday, it's gonna take a little while more to adjust to the new routine. btw i can't remember in the code of conduct the exact specifications abt blogging abt the company so for the time being it'll remain nameless. unless of course i've told you some other way where i'm working.

oh so far i've won a prize and gotten a huge blue black on my thigh thanks to the games we've played during the training. the former was when we played human bingo and i got a souvenier charm that i can clip onto stuff, and the latter was when we played musical chairs and in my attempt to sit down i collided into this guy's shoulder. oh and eunice lost her earring amidst the madness that occurred when we played dog and bone. so yeah it can be crazy over there. haha. the people are nice too, it's pretty much my first time in a class with people of varying ages so it's interesting working with them.

yesterday my family turned everything off at 8.30 for earth hour. well at least the 3 of us tried to. my mom basically couldn't be bothered and turned on whatever whenever she needed it, and only bothered to turn them off when we chided her. so to get away from the boredom my bro and i went to amk hub to watch a movie. well we figured they're gonna show the movie whether we're there or not so it's not really anti-earth hour. so got there with the intention of watching how to train your dragon at 9.20 but it was sold out so we watched the book of eli at 9.55. that kinda defeated the purpose of getting out of the house since the movie only started aft earth hour, but since we walked all the way there we figured we should watch something. haha. the movie was not bad, though the fight scenes got pretty gory aft a while. but if you compare fast paced fight scenes gore with slow paced torture scenes gore like in saw movies, the fast ones are alot better to deal with. even though fast paced gore tends to have lots of flying decapitated heads. haha.

according to blogger, this is my 100th post! so yay for 100! haha.

went to jb yesterday for a shopping trip. saw shebby singh on the bus there. so minor celebrity moment there. haha. didn't buy much, got 2 polo tees and covered shoes for training. yup training for work next week! they said to dress smart casual, which if you look up on the internet has a gazillion different definitions. so just gonna hope for the best when i turn up and that i'm dressed like the average person there.

am going out with the cousins on thurs. i think that's the plan so far, godma hasn't confirmed yet. aft this i need to go check out what kid appropriate movies there are out there to watch with them.

uni applications are confusing, finished all the online portions and now am just left with paying and sending off documents. i bet unis make a ton of money just from applications alone. haha.

got an interview on fri! hopefully it goes well. quite bored with staying at home already. and going out to hang with ppl is quite painful on the ezlink card. at least going up and down for work isn't that bad cause there's money coming in. been topping up my card almost every week now. and i'm still not used to being denied entry into the mrt station when my card has abt 2 bucks in it. there i am thinking 2 bucks is still good for at least one ride. sheesh.

other than that, may be going off to bangkok with godma some time soon. but depends on the timing, seeing as how i may be potentially employed soon. then i'll have to take leave and all... man i feel old. haha. but i've heard how awesome the shopping is there so really hoping it goes through!

this week's been a pretty quiet one i guess. started off on mon with a trip to the airport to send pamela off. aft that we, angel, bhavina and i, walked around the airport with her family, going from terminal to terminal. eventually her family went off and we ended up at bk where we sat and talked for quite some time. good bonding and gossiping session. heh.

the rest of the week thus far has been kinda boring, the only exciting bit was my tudors season 2 marathon. totally fell in love with the opulence and glamour of the tudor era. the costumes were gorgeous! not to mention the people too. haha. totally wouldn't have thought of jrm to play the king, but i guess a non-appealing looking guy would make the king look alot more creepy and pervier, and wouldn't attract as many viewers. haha. but jrm does a great job playing the king, and made me more sympathetic towards henry. oh and they really know how to humanise anne boleyn. knowing how her story ended made me feel a sense of relief initially, when she was all ruthless and mean. i mean most other portrayals of her depict her as a selfish, power hungry b*tch, but here she's more than that. so towards the end, i started to feel for her. other than her there were so many other deaths this season, the opening credits kept getting shorter and shorter cause the main characters were dying off. i think by the end of the season more than a third of the main cast died. yikes. i'm just glad charles brandon's still around. henry cavill! haha. can't wait for seasons 3 and 4.

next week's results! omg. i'm not sure how to feel. initially, like straight aft a's, i told myself; you have __ months til results, so you can choose to worry now and waste the break or worry later. well the months have turned to weeks, and the weeks now days, so i guess later is here. i'd like to think i've been doing a good job of not thinking abt it, and even when it does come up i try to remain as optimistic as possible. sure the gravity of the situation hits me, esp with relatives asking me what i'd like to do in the future, which is now not that distant a future. but being blissfully aware has been working for me so far, so shall stick to it as long as possible. for all you know this time next week i'll be a fear-filled, anxious insomniac going crazy rocking back and forth in a corner of my room. it could happen, so i'd better hold on tightly to my sanity now.

i'm back from malaysia! turned out to actually be a fun trip. though we left as confused bout the function as we came. ok so first day we reached there at abt 9 plus. checked in and met the rest at the buffet dinner, which in ringgit seemed pretty expensive, so when the bill came we all decided we needed to eat a hell of a lot more. haha. simon mama's family came over aft that and we all hanged out at monica athai's room. ate cupcakes and drank wine the whole night. haha. went to bed at abt 3 plus i think.

next day my family woke up at bout 11 plus to take the shuttle bus to a mall. didn't do much shopping, but went into a pet store and played with the animals. they were so cute! there were little kitties and puppies and aiyoh were they adorable. managed to snap a shot of my fave 2 bef the guy stopped me. heh.

so cute right? sighs... so aft that we got back and prepped for the function. it's suppose to be my aunt's engagement or marriage or something. that's why everyone was confused. but either way when it came to the dancefloor we all had an awesome time. aft that we went back to the hotel, carried out the post mortem and then went to bed, at like 5am. haha.

the next day the car ppl left, so we checked out of the hotel to move to another nearer the city. spent the afternoon at klcc eating a&w's and walking around a bit. then went back to freshen up bef heading to simon mama's place. our cab got ridiculously lost and the guy had to pull over and ask for directions and even call ronny to get there. in the end eventually got there and met our malaysian cousins aft dunno how many years. so caught up with each other and swapped stories bout our lives. left at 2am cause we did have a bus to catch the next day. when i got back i just threw myself on the bed and knocked out. haha. the bus ride back was better in that i pretty much slept the whole way and wasn't bored out of my mind.

so yeah that was bascially the trip. it was a good bonding one, with cousins both local and abroad. drama aside, i had fun.

back to normal life, i'm applying for a job at the ir. either f&b, retail or crew at universal studios. it's more long term, but again it sounds quite interesting. so will just see how it goes la. only downside is that we've gotta pay cpf, made me realise how old i am already. haha.
