Life’s Made Up Of… … …

Another 12 hrs, i’ll be in my new office. End of my rotten daysss….

.

Today went down to my new workplace to sign the employment letter. Was informed that i have to bring along a blazor or a formal jacket, n no slip-on heels allowed. Hurrr~~~

.

So after getting a new blazor (made me feel a little excited for work now, cos i can wear new clothes, and skirt! hehehe), took a long bus trip home. Had a lot of random thots, i lov bus trips, long ones… Erm, and alone… Thats when i stone and dun feel like im wasting any of my time. The bad thing abt now is, my hp was faulty, so i cant play music. 45 mins bus trip is like nv ending without ear piece plugged into my ears.

.

Took some pics on the bus

.

Did u notice thr are so so so many different road signs and road names in Sg? I like looking at them, some of the road names are very interesting. Thr muz be some history behind them, especially those called after someone’s name?

.

Hurr… Yeah, the bus took big rounds, n this stupid Suntec Tower 1 appeared right in front of me again. Yes, my new work place. Its just the tower next to my old work place, Tower 2. Suntec………..

.

Nothing much abt this pic, i juz thot the houses look Pretty. But second thots, its facing Suntec…. BOoooooooo

.

Thr are rows of trees along the roadsides. Some are really giant! I started wondering, how long the trees took to grow up that hugh? Isnt it quite a horrible place to be rooted? Along the roads, millions of vehicles passed by them everyday, the air they take in, all polluted n dusty. If im on of them, i might be complaining that lifes unfair afterall. Being rooted in national parks, or even botanic gardens wld be a much better place to live, no? (Hurr… I know i dun make sense here, but thats the fun part abt day dreaming…)

.

This littel boy was really sleepy. He dosed off and keep knocking his head on the glass window, then wake up, but another second, he doses off again, n knocked his head again. Repeatedly for the whole bus ride…

.

Any kind souls pls tell me, if this is the mimosa plant? Anyway, b4, i get answers that says its not, i assumed it is. So i was looking at them, n remembered me n Xiao Li aka Wendy Yap, once went to the Bedok reservoir, to chat, n take pictures… (My sch is juz a gate away from the reservoir) Xiao Li even took a video of the mimosa plants, the leaves close when we touched them. Miss ya, ah Li!!!

.

Hurr… Yesh… actually i think this whole blog post is senseless.

.

New Job= $$$= Happy

.

Ah!!! Cannot forget to note this down! I wanna complain!!! To Xiao WEi, and Xiao Li! Tmr is April’s fool and its my first day of work! I already signed on the employment letter, so ur curse that im being tricked on April’s Fool Day is OVER!!!! (Actually , i really quite scared leh, u two, evil porks!!!)

!In a few days time , my 2 months of unemployment shall end. No more rotten potato on the sofa!

.

Im 65% happy cos’ i found a new job:) Which means no more surfing of jobstreet, jobsdb, jobscentral, no more interviews n waiting of phonecalls n letters. Hurr, 35% of cant be explained feelings. A mixture of SIAN-ess, unwillingness, fear. Will be back to the working life! ARGHHhhhhhhhhhhhh……….. Who likes to work right?

.

Hurr… And its at SUntec again. The voted NO. 1 most hated citylink!!!

.

Anyway, this time round, no more lawfirms. Ok, just a summary of the 2 months changes in Job hunting:) Initially, was waiting for the MOE’s letter. As usual, they are LATE. Supposed to let me know if im accepted within 3 working weeks, so, after opening my letter box for many times within the third expected week, i gave up waiting. The letter of acceptance came in on the last day of the fifth week. By then i have already send out resumes to lawfirms for interview. Maybe its a blessing that the letter came to me late. After the third week, i seriousy thot, its not worth to join MOE now. They offered me 1 to 1.5yrs of contract teaching, then enter their 2 yrs training in July 2009, after the training, i need to serve my 3 yrs bonds with them. Adding up, i will be them for 6 yrs at least. Not very ideal. REject.

.

Anyway, yup, so i went for interviews at 2 lawfirms, and then came across this oppotunity of  HR recruitment job at my little dear fren’s company. After thinking for a while, the jobscope is kinda interesting, maybe its good for me to give it a try. And i always thought, going to an interview doesnt mean i will get it , so no harm sending in my resume right:) Yup, then went for interview, personality test, n waited for phonecall till today. I was thinking, hurr, the office operating hrs from 8.30am to 5.30pm, i havent rec’ any calls at 5.35pm. Ok, maybe i shd start sending out resumes again..

.

6.00pm.

Strange no.: "Hello can i speak to maybelline pls?"

Me: "Hello, yep?"

Strange No.: "MAYBELLINE YEO!" (In an excited tone)

Me: "Oh, WONG LEECHIN AH!!! " (In an even more excited tone)

Leechin: "HA-nah! (Very singlish accent) Then u thot who?"

Leechin: "Heh, L****’s offering u the position, can you come down to sign the employment letter!"

.

Wahaha… Yesh, pple, u can congrat me, i’m being employed again, after rotting for 2 months. Hmmm… SO i muz continue rot to the max for saturday, sunday and monday! Tuesday will be a new start for me:) I dun noe, maybe after resting n having much thot, i feel, i will work even harder in my new job, and of cos’ to enjoy more in my work! Im sure it will be a better one than the previous, at least i believe so, for a start:)

.

JIa you Maybao!!!

I didnt noe what title to put for this random post.

.

I slpt at 5am this morning, n woke up at 8am. I had a hard time falling aslp but easily awake by the irritating buzz of my mum’s fan next door.

.

I blamed it on my pillow, since its like, flat at one side, totally flat n hard. And then i blamed that my air-con isnt cooling, tho i insisted having the blankets over my head. Then i blamed the light that shone outside my window, hurr, but its juz a tiny gap between the curtains n the window n i claimed that thrs a lot of light shining in.

.

Decided to wake up before i whine non-stop, to myself.

.

With a clearer mind, i recalled, i didnt want to take cold drinks last night at Jiajia’s wedding, so i had quite a lot of CHINESE TEA throughout the night!

.

So the main reason for all the above grumblings shd be TEA.

.

I didnt have this problem all along, until recently. I reaslised if i take tea, which includes, teh peng, chinese tea, maybe ice lemon tea, after 7pm, I couldnt slp at night!!! Coffee is definately a killer.

.

Coffee. No matter what time i drank kopi, i feel my heartbeat pumping fast, n i cant seemed to breathe properly.

.

This only occur recently.

.

Anyway, i only slpt for 3 hrs last night. I hate Chinese Tea.

Had a great Night out with the Rwwians, tho 5 outta 6 of us is non-Rww members anymore!!! Cheerios!!! Went to Changi Village for late dinner. Hmmm, the FIsh n Chips didnt turn out very tasty, but its quite a good place to chill out. Nice drinks, and the most important thing is, we can talk and laugh very loudly! Buaahaha, ok, cos i dun really have very impressive table manner!

.

I love it when we sit tgt and update our lives with one another. Listens to Dora, the only spy in RWW, complained abt deathphony, telling us how she actually irritates her boss, how Preggy got snapped by Mr. Nice Lawyer(hmmm, most pple think he is nice, im juz following the crowd)! WenXiu telling us her brother couldnt flush his poopoo down the toilet bowl but still left house, n then calling her on the phone to flush the poos again, emphasizing the hugh piece of shit floating in the toilet bowl. Cake sharing her farting aloud colleague! I think farts, shits n all the disgusting bits are the most entertaining to crap abt!!! All of us have a tiny part to share when it comes to the gross things.

.

More outtings tgt alright:)

.

Hmmm… Its Easter Day today! Nothing ve important tho… Oh, ok, i did craft work on Bunny EAster Egg with the little monsters last thursday. Turned out, a lot of the bunnies looked more like hamsters, and the monsters insisted they are drawing bunnies, well… I juz love them to bitss….

.

My BUNNY Easter Egg

.

Little Monsters’

.

Ok, apart from that, i realised some of the kids really improved in their drawings, i felt really Happy!!! In the beginning, they dun even remember my name, now, they come to me with big round eyes filled with curiosity, "Ms. Yeo, how do u do this? Do i use the light colour first, then the dark over it n blend them tgt to get this?" They used to do colour tones by bisecting the pictures or the parts they wanna colour into two, and then insert two different colours. Thats toning??? I guessed not. Anyway, im happy to have this part time job, more like a hobby to me:)

.

Attending my ex-colleague’s wedding dinner tonight! CONGRATUATIONS JIA JIA!!! (I have yet to decide what to wear for tonight.)

Bye bye my Jelly Fish!

.

hurr…. Hi all Ex-Rwwians, if u remember my little ms jelly fish? Now i declare she’s DEAD!!! Sobsobsob…

.

3 legs became 2… Her blue wire torned…

.

DEAD…

.

She was with me for near to a yr….. No one agered that she is a jelly fish. Said she was a monster, a mushroom with legs…. So i named her Ms Jelly Fish. Hurr… I dun noe, i felt a little upset when her legs broke off a few days ago, so i amputated her broken leg off this morning. Today on the way home, the whole jelly fish dropped off my hp!!!

.

GOODBYE…

Growing up is smt everyone go thru, from the day we are brought to earth till the day we die. People do change, thoughts change, everything changes in different stages of life. One big example will be friends around us.

.

We used to have next door neighbours as playmates, presch little kids as little frens, we graded our frens "best fren", "good fren", or "enermy" when we exchanged our diaries with our classmates in Primary sch. In secondary sch, we sticked tgt like honey n bee, toilet trip together "Teacher ,can WE go to the toilet?", we quarreled over minor things and stopped talking to each other for 2 days. When we grow slighly older, we realised close frens remain the first few we met in our junior yrs…

.

No matter what, i always tell myself, its how i see and inteprete things. To me, i do not need to meet up with my frens frequently because i noe all of us can be buzy with our everyday life, i do not need to noe every single detail of them because they do not have time to tell me all. All i need to noe is, i always have them in my mind, when i scroll down my hp messages seeing their names, i smile. And i always hope its the same on their side.

.

Be it a 2 hrs dinner meet up once every few months, or 2 sms exchanges saying Hi, I cherish the moment i spend with everyone. I guessed thats growing up.

Monday was fine, no work no Monday BLues…

.

The Bf is back from Sabah:) I  got called down for two job interviews:) Watched a generally nice movie, 10 000 Bc:) Nice chicken wings for dinner:)

.

Tuesday is a rainy day, from the second i opened my eyes, lying under my blankets, hearing the rain drops outside my window. Im having my interview later in the evening, hopefully, the rain stops (at least for a while). I hate to bring with me umbrella, n walking on wet slippery floor.

.

Hurr… Wat shd i say when the interviewer ask "Why did u leave ur previous work place?" Its like, the most typical Interviewing Que.. I really have got no answer for that. Maybe i shd juz smile n give a model ans "Oh, i wish to get more exposure in the diff areas of law." OR  "Erm, I would like concentrate better on this particular area".

.

I JUZ DUN WANNA WORK FOR DEATHPHONY FOR GODNESS.

.

Many pple told me, time flies without us noticing once we reached 21st of age… Thinking of it, it might be true. Once u reach 21st, especially if you start work, life will be monotonous. You will be celebrating your 25th B’day soon without realising another 5 yrs of your life had passed. Thats so scarry… Lets not think of 5 yrs, but 2 yrs down the road, wat will i be doing? The passed 1 yr had been work n tendering n working n thinking. Adapting to the real working life is terrible. I felt like i’ve grown up a lot in just 1 yr. I feel it in my frens too, The way they speak n their thoughts… No longer sch students.

.

Anyway, im still using my TP student pass for Mcdonalds, Bk, pizza Hut’s students meal! Wahaha… Cheater Cheater!!!

.

Why izzit still raining!!! Good luck to ME for the interview!!!
