hello all.
econs was awful. cause i didnt really study the economies of scale. actually i did read through. like last wk before make up lessons? so basically i cldnt rmb a thing and had to do the stupid scarcity essay question. which i had nothing much to write and wrote a grand total of 2pages. 25marks. =( and i was falling asleep reading the case study which i didnt manage to finish. shld have slept earlier the night before. anyway i was so sad after the paper i came home and ate lotsa chocolate.
chem was disastrous. left like half the paper blank. and section B just raised a million question marks in my head. i had zero idea how to go about answering the questions. spent a lot a lot of time on mcq. was feeling really sleepy during section a and b. section c was slightly better. but kinda blanked out. cldnt relaly rmb the reactions. so chem's a gone case too. as expected. so i made sabbie and zhangfan go with me to macs after the paper and i bought myself a chocolate sundae and twister fries and sabbie bought newpaper and talking about worldcup made me feel slightly better.
physics was slightly better than the previous two papers. but i left like 20marks worth of blanks. and i didnt even study gravitational field at all. and i cldnt rmb the definitions. boohoo lah. after sch i got my daily dosage of choc. bought kitkat chunky. i dno if chocs really make ppl feel better after eating them. but i have an urge to eat them after i screw up the papers. hah. so maybe it does make me happier. thankfully we take only 4 papers. or i'll grow veryvery fat by the end of everything. ah if only i were those kinda of ppl who dont feel like eating when im sad. then i might actually lose weight. bleah.
i know not to expect a miracle for math tmr seeing as how i didnt touch it for the whole hols. though im still hopeful. but anyway im a wee bit worried that im gna screw up my promos equally bad and then i will get kicked out of rj or sth with no where to go...or retained...or sth. =( but it's so long later i shant worry now.
i
cant wait for everything to be over really. watching JUST MY LUCK tmr. :D:D:D
boohoohoo,
me
p.s. oh look elbert says it's not that bad that my results are gna suck just cause im in
rjc so no matter what he will screw up more than me. haha. as if. he even has a graph to prove his point.
yea but anyway i seriously feel that im at the bottom of the sch's cohort and when u have difficulties passing ur exams does it still matter if u are in a "better" sch or not?

Chem mock test on monday sucked i have no idea why i bothered heh. =( if there's one regret in my life it's prob not changing my combi to physics math lit econs when i had the chance.
had
econs make up on wed. went to eat lunch at j8 with changrong and bernie. xiaole and chinnam and elaine joined us later. (: didnt get to stay long though cause i had to go matt's house with the purpose of studying i think..
decided to take a cab since i was too lazy to walk to the busstop and it was quite late already. plus what if i didnt know which stop to get off if i took the bus and ended up losing my way? so i decided that the taxi was a foolproof plan. i was so wrong. the driver drove me to marine terrace and then we couldnt find block 13! so i just let him drop me off at block 20 lah, (so i still had to walk under the sun)thinking that given my amazing intelligence and seeing as how it's the millionth time i've been to his house i can prob find the block on my own. -_- and well i was very wrong again. walked around a bit and all i saw was blk 19 20 and 16. i have no idea why the blocks are not in order. so i called matt who was
somewhat helpful but not really because he kept listing landmarks like the busstop which was barely in sight. and he kept laughing and complaining about my squealing. well i only ever squeal when i am lost okay.
eventually found his house which was on the other side of the carpark. -_- how confusing. muthu and wailumn were already there and zaizai(matt's dog) gave me a warm welcome as usual--barking very loudly and looking like he's ready to jump on me anytime haha. listened to wailumn talk abt her hc drama which was really funny and basically we didnt get to do much studying i think. we just took turns to yak nonstop. actually i think it's just me and lumn. ah well. claire came a looong time later and i left soon after she came, which was before eunice came so i didnt get to see her. but i met her at work the other day so it's okay. :D
anyway i miss all the random things we talk and laugh about. :D
much love to muthu matt claire wailumn eunice! ah we shld have an eds chalet or something. gotta meet up with the rest too.
anyway speaking of
work. i went home after goin matt's hse and took a short nap and then went to study overnight at the airport with my cousins! and then the following morn i started work at 7pm all the way till 4pm cause i had to do overtime. (i was superr tired. or shld have been. but i think espresso did the trick cause i was relatively awake.) anyway been doing ot for the pass few days. quite shorthanded.
oh and im such a sucky employee heh. i think i drop at least 3 breads everyday lah. and today i dropped half a tub of cookie? and i keep making mistakes at the cash register. im
damn blur lah. -_-
there's this
auntie ELDERY LADY :D who works there then she whole day nag at me. haha. i was thinking if she was my mum or grandma i wld have told her to shut up. but anyway im so used to nagging from granny and mummy i have successfully mastered the art of just saying "ok" to everything until they have nothing to nag abt heh. (: so i guess the job trains me to be tolerant. especially to obnoxious customers.
the manager i've been working with these days is quite demanding compared to the previous ones so it's a wee bit stressful. and the more stressed i am the more i fumble and the more i make mistakes. thankfully i have yet to break anything. i wldnt be too surprised if i do though, given my clumsiness.
*sigh*but the job gives me satisfaction i think. or whatever else u wna call it. it makes me happy. contented. fufilled? haha. maybe cause it's challenging. haha. i know it's like a duh job. clearing tables taking orders etc. but it's more difficult than it looks. at least for someone as blur and easily confused as me. and i learn something new each day. like today the elderly lady commented on my inability to sweep the floor and proceeded to show me the right way. well in dhs when i did class rooster duty and swept the floow, i usually got A okay haha. but that was the only practice i ever got heh. =/
oh and there are some really pleasant customers, seeing as how it's the airport u get ppl all over the world. (: some are really polite and friendly and say cheers etc haha. or ask you how are you. i guess it's really good exposure. :D hopefully i'll get better at what i do. or i'll prob get fired soon haha. or be the first to get retrenched if there's some economic crisis. but my pay is kinda measley so i dont think i cost the company a lot? oh but the mistakes i make like dropping every other bread does cost money eh.
anyway cts are
2days away(or 1day and 4hours rather) and im pretty screwed. as always.
sigh. will have to employ chinnam's method of one subj a day. i should try and go over to the
bright side and join aggy! no more sleeping during lessons. ah yes i made
resolutions for this year! actually i made these resolution on 10th May 2006 during one physics lecture when i first decided that i needed to change for the better heh.
Resolutions for whatever-that's-left-of-the-year-20061.have better handwriting
yea well. i think some ppl are just born with better handwriting. just like how ppl are born better looking than others?
2. exercise more
i really really planned on exercising during the hols but i ended up spraining my ankle, which has yet to recover btw.
3.do not sleep in lectures and tutorials as much as before
i think im getting there for this one. :D but only because i end up talking instead of slping.
4.sleep by 12 every night
5.do not procrastinate
this has been my resolution for as long as i can remember
6.spend less than $100 on taxi a month
this month i have only spent $60 so far! :D so i just have to try not to be late for sch during the last week of june.
7.spend less than $250 a month buying god-knows-what unless it's a hol
spent a few hundreds this hol. shiyi thinks im nuts.
8.have better time management
im getting there for this too i think. :D esp since i have a job now haha.
9.spend more time with raineyshiney
agnes wrote this down herself. hmm. we did go out once this hol. :D and do cip together.
10.pass all tests
im gna fail my GP already.
11.use correction tape sparringly
i finish one correction tape in a week or less! anyway i bought the liquid one as well so that i will use less.
ah well have to mug hard for the whole of next week. no more blogging till then. oh i think im gna watch Just My luck with xiaole etc after exams on thurs. :D cant wait. and we're planning to stay over at someone's house on sat to watch wc teehee. oh italy got through yay. so did spain. :D and germany and england.

Sunday 11th JuneBernie agnes elaine and went to do cip! and it was uberly fun!
basically we were trying to raise money by selling old clothes we collected from our family and friends. :D collected quite a bit. intially we were selling everything at $5, then buy 2 get one free. then we cut the price to $4. then to $3. so if u bought 2 shirts, u are actually paying $2 each or 3 shirts which could have easily cost $100++ if you bought them from shops! and ppl still tried to bargain. -_- but there was this uberly cute girl who kept coming back to buy clothes. haha. she bought like all the jackets cause she said it was so cold(it was raining) and she bought one for her sis too! and she bought all the available dresses etc. and we kept giving her clothes for free. haha. cause she was really damn cute. oh and we sold bags and pencil cases and pouches for $1 each! haha. think we'd make a loss of we were running a real company. but all those bags etc are old stocks donated by companies and we were simply supposed to help clear out the stock. so yea.
and since it was a carnival there was quite a lot of food to eat. the dumpling was really nice. :D and there was face painting too! but we decided we didnt want to get our face painted so we painted our arms instead. and seeing how it's the world cup now, bernie elaine and i painted flags of the team we supported. but for my flag elaine gave the wrong description so i got a flag of france instead of italy. =(
oh and there were bras on sale too. =/ initially sold at 4 for $10, the price was reduced to $1. and there were old aunties buying. haha. i was quite reluctant to help with the sale of the bras though heh.
went shoppin with bernie after that at heeren and bought a skirt. (: were planning to eat at marche but we decided we were too full from eating all the junk at the carnival.(:
Thursday 15 JuneRP batch outing. ate at cafe cartel. (: the pork ribs were pretty good. watched Good night and good luck after that. didnt really understand the movie. didnt really like it. =/ hah.
nothing will ever feel like eds again huh? (:
Friday 16 Junewent to sch early in the morn but cldnt dance since i sprained my ankle. watched them though. ahh im gna have a hard time learning the dance!
went to meet shiyi after that at bugis cause i had to take some vaccination jab at Raffles Hospital that all food handlers have to take. @*$#^(*@#*()%!! blardi painful. i absolutely hate injections. and shiyi was giving me the DUH look throughout my whinning. ugh. walked around bugis street for a while after that. got a belt. then went off to mug. then went to work. (:
my bro's furniture for his room arrived! it looks really cosy. ah well now we have our own rooms heh.
Saturday 17 Junemy family came over for father's day buffet! the food was not bad i guess. the cake was absolutely delicious. durian+choc. haha. my cousin commented that it's the first time we are not sharing a slice of cake. haha. didnt do much..just sat around and read my overflowing heaps of magazines heh. but i really havent seen them in soooo long.
surprisingly, despite the awful things i have to do like sweeping the floor etc, all of which i have hardly ever done in my life, i like my job. :D i hope it stays that way. the people there are really nice and all. (: but sadly a lot of them are quitting at the end of this month. i hope i wont start dreading work once the novelty of it dies off.
chem revision test tmr! =(
6:41 PM
Friday, June 9
HELLO. it's been such a busy week haha. been going out since my rest-at-home-for-a-week-thing-for-my-ankle-to-recover thing is over. sadly, the ankle still hurts. but im too stubborn and lazy to go and see the doctor again. i cant bear being cooped up at home for another week. =/
MONDAYwent out with AGNESCHEW for the first time in MONTHS. we postponed our pedicure by half an hour cause we realised we were both gna be late! haha. anyway we went to buy tickets for She's the Man at lido and then went for the pedicure at hollywood secrets at Paragon and then we rushed off to watch She's the Man and missed a part of it cause we were late. =( oh and the nail polish on my big toe got ruined cause i wore my shoes too soon. but the show was uberly funny hahah. :D GO WATCH! and then for dinner WEIJEAN <33 joined us! haha. i missed her uberly much. :D we shared terriyaki salmon at Fish&co which was not bad considering i only ever eat raw salmon. (:
here's us at hollywood secrets
figuring out where to look in the mirror
at fish&co with wwj
Tuesdayshopping with shiyi. bought this and that. (: had spagetti for dinner!
Wednesdaydidnt get to meet ms Tang for chemistry consultation after all.
here's why:
dad drove me to school to meet msTang for my consultation. so at 11pm i went to the staff room to find her. but she wasnt there. msged Shalom. and then my phone batt died. so i decided to go to the canteen hoping that i will meet someone. thankfully
Yu Ru was there. :D:D:D i was uberly happy to see her! haha havent seen her in a week haha. so i borrowed her phone and called shalom to ask where consultation was and she said that i shld call ms tang. and i did. called her 3times with Yu Ru's phone. but she didnt pick up. so i msged her and decided to go up to the staff room to wait for her. taking Yu Ru's phone with me. haha. and YuRu being the kind soul she was went up to the staff room to find me without finishing her lunch haha. she's like uberly nice no? (: not that she usually finishes her food. =P
anyway sat outside the staff room and waited. and waited. and waited. FINALLY MS TANG CALLED. apparently i got the date wrong and was supposed to meet her on Tuesday! and then she said there was no way she could meet me then cause she was
flying to laos in an hour so i shld just take the revision test from the class pigeon hole and go home and try it and i'll see her on the 19th during mock lecture test. sigh. wasted trip to sch which is like one frigging hour away. plus i was busy preparing for the consultation..like doing my revision and coming up with questions to ask her. =/
anyway met Fiona after that. we planned to play pool but ended up going to starbucks where i stoned a lot instead of studying. banana mocha frap's not bad but u'll get quite sick of it after a while.
Thursdayplanned to go swimming in the morning but it was raining when i woke up so i just went back to sleep. heh. im so lazy im afraid im just gna keep growing fatter and fatter and become a size 14. =( but i do have plans to exercise. like im going jogging tmr i think. anyway met shiyi half an hour late at tampines. walked around a bit. then went to the airport's delifrance and got a job to work there. (: haha im happy. then we went mugging at burger king. spend 3hours studying measurements! im so slow im never gna finish studying everything by the time the holidays end.
Fridaywas supposed to meet bernie and elaine to discuss cip stuff at 4 at cityhall. ended up being really late. but anyway it was quite a productive discussion and i did some shopping after that. :D am very happy with myself. ahah.
now here's the boring tale of why i was late and u shld just skip it really:
i left my house at 2 to go to 230 Pandan Loop, which is Delifrance's head office, to collect my uniform. had a hard time finding my way there and i think im a genius for finding my way haha. :D cause i got off at clementi mrt. then went to look at the map which said to take bus 285 to pandan loop. so i had to find my way to the interchange with the help of the signs. and then it was so difficult to find the berth of the bus cause it was right at the end but i did anyway. and then the bus driver was hardly helpful in telling me where to get off. so then the bus drove pass the delifrance FACTORY and i alighted there. but the address was 202 pandan loop instead of 230. so i walked and walked and finally found 230 Pandan loop. except that it was under renovation. but i looked up and the 2nd and 3rd storeys looked like they were furnished and had lights on. and also there was a sign saying "Delifrance, 2nd and 3rd level" heh. so i walked round the building in hope of finding the staircase and i did! :D went up to the second floor and there were signs outside saying "CEO" and other big shot posts. and i decided that im probably not collecting my uniform from these people. so i went up to the third floor. tried to open the door but it was locked. and then i saw a doorbell and pressed and some nice woman came and said "collecting uniform? go straight." so i walked and saw 2 other guys getting their uniform. so i waited for my turn. got my uniform. and instructions to go and get an injection...some vaccination required for all food handlers. that sucks. im afraid of injections. =( anyway i finally left that place at 4+ and found my way to a bus stop and took 285 back to clementi and then train to city hall cause there wasnt a single cab in sight.
and before i know it it's the weekends again and another week of my beautiful holiday has passed. argh. and i realise i havent attended a single class outing this holiday! okay im off to watch world cup now i heard it's 2-1. GOODNIGHT!
