As much as we wanted to, we pulled ourselves through it all and made it this far. So rejoice and indulge in the long awaited, much desired break for we have derserved it all. We have come thus far and now, we should just bask in the break that we have waited, wanted and worked so hard and long for. It is finally here! November 2005. That was a long time ago. A long time ago before we had our last beak now, almost 10 months later, the hols are here once again!! yay!!!!

And so, one day of staying at home, waking up late, not doing anything in particular. Just stoning in front of the computer is something I have not done in a nong nong time... its a nice feeling to not do anything.. heh. I missed it.

But I would enjoy it more if I didn't have stuff to think about...

Whatever. I shall not attempt to add any depressing stuff here so just to lighten up the mood, I stole this from my bro's class's blog.

Went to Far East with yl or rather, we HAD to go cause we went there yesterday and left without paying. So we had to go back to pay for our overdue meal. Now I know what you are think. tsk tsk. Evil people, leave without leaving. But we really forgot! REALLY! We just ate and then got up and left and the uncle didn't even know until we went back to pay and he was like: Oh yeah! HAHA it's okie. Thanks *big smile*

Now that is one really nice malay uncle and the hokkien mee there is really good. Its weird how a malay stall sells hokkien mee but then again, their hokkien mee is way better than some cooked by chinese... hmmm...

Oh and I absolutely can't stand it when surveyers keep hounding you. Imagine this: yl and I went to Paragon to drop off some clothes for her company and then headed to Far East. Along the way, this guy comes up to us and asks us if we are Singaporeans, and if we could help him. We said no, we're not interested. Then after paying the uncle, the clothes people at Paragon called to say that there were some problems with the clothes so we had to walk back to Paragon and that was when we walked past the exact same guy who asked us the exact same question:

Excuse me but are you a Singaporean? Can you help me with something?

Like what? That guy has some short term memory loss or something? We just walked back and forth twice within the time spent of say... 30 minutes and he asks us the SAME QUESTION to which we had the SAME ANSWER. No.

I mean, do I not look Singaporean? Do I look Indian or something (no offence)? yl was like sooo tempted to walk past a third time to see if he asked us the 'are you a singaporean?' question. To that we can say: No, we are Spanish. I mean, so what if we are Singaporean? Does that make him a happy man? I don't know. I guess yesterday I was just in a picky mood I was like finding fault with sooo many passers-by, like: that guy is so poser, did you see what that girl just did? and blah blah blah. Maybe I was just being bitchy and I wouldn't be suprise if someone we walked past said the same thing about us. Ah whatever... I'm ranting.

Oh and guess what?
I HEREBY DECLARE THE END OF MY INTERNSHIP AT YOLK DESIGN! YAY! =]

I actually went to watch Singapore Theatre. Can you believe that?? I actually went for the Singapore Theatre Festival held over the past three weeks. If it wasn't for my sisterworking as a wardrobe assistant and had complimentary tickets, I would not have gone for it. So anyway, flew down to PS after work to meet my mum then further flew down to the National Library cause the show started at 8.



Second Link. That's the name of the show that we were catching. And guess who I saw? Tan Keng Hua and Lim Kay Siew (Phua Chu Kang's rival contractor whose name I kinda forgot. What was it? Rocky? Rosie? Frankie? I dunno...) oh, and my Primary Three form teacher. Thank God she didn't see me. Or recognise me. Or whatever it was. I'm just thanking my lunky stars she didn't see me. I mean, when I saw herI was like darting around, frantically trying to hide myself behind my mum. But that's not the point. The main point is the show.

Second Link is a collaboration between Singapore and Malaysia, so there were two different parts put up by both Singaporean and Malaysian casts. It was a little too chim for me, and like loads of politics and stuff. I mean, there was a part where they were doing Lao Lee and the malaysian dunno what. Aiyah, some political leader for all I know. But there were the funnybits as well. Like in one scene, the Malaysian casts were talking about Singlish and there was a line: Singlish is speaking English with Chinese vocabulary. Which is very true... =]

And then they go on to pretend to be learning how to speak Singlish. Quote: "Always begin a sentence with 'A...' and end off with a '...lah' or a '... leh'. If you want to swear, say 'wha liew'and if you want to exaggerate something, throw in a 'si beh' which means 'dead father'... "

When they said that, I was like laughing so hard my stomache hurt. HAHA. The second part was by the Singaporean crew which was chim and I didnt really understand it, besides the factthat they were like speaking in malay. But I love Karen Tan! She is like so funky! haha.. =D Some familiar names acting er... like Lim You Beng, the ah ma in PCK. What's her name I'm not sure...

So yeah. It was pretty good but I heard salsa salsa salsa was good too. Hmm.. Maybe I should watch more theatre..

There's was a camera man sticking his camera in front of my face and I had to make fake conversation with my boss.

For those who are not getting it, here's the gist:
I'M GOING TO BE ON TV!!

Serious. As for the channel? I probably won't even catch myself on tv cause it is for some indian channel. Well, the only Indian channel I can think of is Vasantham Central. Yup. I am going to be in a show that I myself don't even watch, all the more have any idea what they are talking about. And as I am typing this, my boss is outside talking in tamil about I dunno what.

Haha. Now how many interns actually get to experience this man!?! Eat this. I AM GOING TO BE IN AN INDIAN SHOW. Maybe I will even be talent spotted and before you people can even say "Vansantham Central is an indian channel" I will be wisked off to bollywood, and filmed dancing around the coconut tree with my hairy indian male lead who spots a belly bigger then me. HAHA

This is weird. I don't have the slightest idea what the show is about, I don't have a clue what they are talking about and I am going to be in it. Not only me lah.. of course my colleuges will also be in it but hey.. its fun. I sooo wanted to burst out laughing but thank god I managed to catch myself in time. I wanted to explode in a frenzy of sneezes but I had to control it all cause the camera was rolling. Was it tough? yeah, but it was fun nonetheless.

At least it added some fun into my very-boring-nothing-to-do day. =]

YAY! I'M GOING TO BE ON TV!!!

I FREAKING MISSED THE FIREWORKS LAH! ALL FIVE DAYS OF IT!!!

Okie lah. I'm not really dissappointed, just needed to waste some time here. I am seriously bored and have resorted to listening to The Spice Girls on the radio. What is wrong with me man. Its been 872378632 centuries since The Spice Girls split up and now, there are like sooooo many boybands and girl groups sprouting out (and I mean sprouting, like how daisies sprout out from the ground) that I can hardly keep up. For all I know, there may be four cutesy girls who are all acting ditsy and cute to attract pubercent boys despite them being way over the acting cute age. Oh and they will be called: "G.I.R.L" cause they all took the first letters of their very weird english names.

HAHA

Now how fireworks led to girl groups I have no idea. Just needed to kill some time here. heh =]

An interesting piece of information which may or may not be true, depending on your believes in scientific shit like this.

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultimate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug.27, 12.30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

Well, I for one will probably keep a look out for it if I remember cause if I'm not wrong, I remembering seeing Mars as a red dot in the sky a few years back.

Happy looking.. =]

I am like sooo shited out today I seriously don't know how I am going to get any work done without having my head against the table.

I probably can't compare myself to those mugging their arses off and frantically trying to meet deadlines but I am totally shagged man. Saturday was spent sleeping in and then I had to go grocery shopping with my mum. That was probably all except that I went out to meet YL at like 8 at night and my mum was like: WHAT? SO LATE? Came back just in time to see her getting ready to sleep. Well, me on the other hand slept at 3 cause I was watching Metor Garden on channel U. Its not like I havent watched it yet and it wasn't as if I wasn't tired. Just didn't wanna sleep. Stupid right?

Sunday was like shit. My mum like dragged me (literally) out of bed (apparently she has never heard of the term sleeping in) and then further dragged a grumpy/sleepy/tired me off to my grandma's house. Met up with my cousins and guess what? MYMOTHRWOKEMEUPEARLYTOGOFORSOMEBABY'SONEMONTHOLDPARTY!!!!

I want to scream
I want to die

You freaking drag me out of the comforts of my bed to attend a party where the lead doesnt even have the ability to sit up on his own!?!?

Whatever. Those who know me probably knows that I hate these kind of socializing activities even though we are related in one way or the other. So when we were there, I just plastered a smile to my face, and were introduced to Auntie One and husband plus their offspring a,b,c,d,
Auntie Two and her husband plus kids e-i. Auntie Three, Uncle Four Old Lady One. More kids j, k, l, m, to like o belonging to dunno who.

I felt like I was attending some nursery party. I felt old and I seriously didn't remember having so many aunties and seeing so many kids during Chinese New Year and that says ALOT cause during CNY, there were already alot of kids. Now, there are more..... and couting.

My cousin is way better at this than me. Ah whatever. After what seemed like forever, we were finally off to the tailors to do our fittings and blah blah blah. Dinner was at RSYC (Republic Singapore Yatch Club) and the food there was yum and I was dead tired. You can't say playing with kids a-f is not tiring. IT IS BLOODY TIRING LAH! But they were absolutely cute. =]

And so, that is probably the reason why I am so tired. Kids wipe you out for not one, but two days. I am presently still suffering from the after effects of playing hide-and-seek with kids with the average voice range of 10000 decibles.

AHH!!! I am utterly hopeless.

How is it that I manage to be almost knocked down by a car twice and lock myself out of the office that I have to resort to climbing in through the window in a day?

Thank god no one was around when I was climbing through that window if not I will die from embarrassment before getting hulled off to the police station for seemingly trying to steal something.

But then again? What can I possibly steal from a design company? Designs? Computers? The three cats that are living in the company?

I feel stupid. And yes, no one was in the office cause they all went for an award ceremony.

And so I thought the horrors of doing the blasted Pestsummit website were over. That I did not have to endure anymore from this jerk of a client and his band of pest busters.

BOY WAS I WRONG!

After like a month of not hearing from him, I was about to rejoice that I have finally completed the task of maintaining that fucking website and that his name will be thus erased from my life but when I stepped into the office yesterday and checked my email. I saw the dreaded name. Maybe you have forgotten how much I can't stand that git. Let me remind you: I hate him soooo much I almost die from hating him. He, on the other hand, screams at me (however he intends it to look like through email) and gives me hell.

I can only thank god that all our 'conversations' are through what I will now call man's greatest invention. Email. If I had to meet him face to face, I'm afraid I will have to break my arms and legs to restrain myself from scratching at him with what is left of my freshily cut nails or kicking him hard in the shins.

To give you a hint of what the emails from him roughly look like:

7. [WRONG!!] T-Shirts - S$5,000 MSR Green Corporation
[THIS IS NOTT-SHIRTS. IT IS CONFERENCE BAGS FOR $7000 - TAKE IT OUT!!!!]

11. [WRONG] Welcome Signboard S$2000 Borneo Motors (S) Pte Ltd
[PUT THESE 2 AS "SPECIAL MENTION" ]

Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore Noor Travels & ToursInternational Pte Ltd
[THIS SHOULD NOT BE LUMPED UNDER WELCOME SIGNBOARD]

And that is not the whole email. Imagine recieving emails looking like that. I think even Mother Thresa will hyperventilae and die from a fit at how rude this idiot of a git is.

I don't mean to be rude but three months of constantly getting emails like that seriously spoils my day. Like BIG TIME.

I shall now attempt to type in caps and see if it makes me feel better: WELL, ALL I CAN DO IS JUST WAIT FOR THE STUPID EVENT TO BE OVER AND THEN HE WILL FOREVER BE GONE FROM MY LIFE AND WHAT IS LEFT OF MY ATTACHMENT LIFE.

Sheesh. He should just do everyone a favour and shuddap.
