geh! work starts tmr, and xiro is down, and meu has some problems and the flash animation for Orientation is undone and i'm freaking out~~~

ah well. hooked on RO now. but i'm so not in control of my schedule that i can't level up with everyone else. *sobz* I'M SORRY, MINNA!

work tmr. and i still have no idea what i'll be doing.

woke up at 6am very hyper and jumping around. VERY COLD, shivering and hopping around to keep warm actually. anyway, made off towards the mrt station, and GOD! the shoes HURT!!!! i was stamping all the way there coz it hurttttsss whichever way i apply the pressure on the foot, looking like this rhino stomping off to war.

at tanah merah, i was secretly hoping to see yy, when this hairball whizzed up the escalator and through the mrt doors, and i realized it was HL. and we were wearing the same clothes, only different colour. lol. yep, the gals all went shopping for clothes tgr, so basically we bought around the same things.

then yting came and, lol! HL and yting are wearing the same blouse, and yting and i the same pants! we were very amused, and were contemplating all 5 of us dressing up the same way next time to confuse colleagues, when the other two came and were.. horrified. they just refused to sit near us corny 3. grrrr.

then tramped to the office building, complaining about our shoes and 'owwwing' all the way. thank goodness there isn't much walking around to do. the whole day was basically spent in the 'knowledge room', learning some basics about the singapore tax system. the notes were... THICK. as in.. THICK. and it was real hardcore whamming of information, from 10 to 5, with multiple breaks in between. i think i switched off from 3pm onwards. there's this 'test' tomorrow. *pressurized*

after which, there's still an hour till after office hours, so we arranged our desks (nothing to arrange) and... hogged the paper shredder machine. i was secretly afraid we're going to overwork and spoil the machine during our first day of work, lol.

den tramped back to the mrt station, during which time i thought blood is gonna start oozing out from my toes and stain my shoes red. and there was still that walk across the garden from the mrt!!! sobz!

i'm gonna wear sandals to work and change shoes in the office.. sobz.

and i'm out of things to wear after tmr. only have two pairs of pants. how?

kk, someone requested me to blog about work.

accounting firm... everything that goes on behind the doors is CONFIDENTIAL! haha, you know if i want to bring some materials out for reference, i have to blanko out the client's names and details? its so cool!

niwae, nothing much to write about so far; 3 days of singapore tax training. felt nauseous staring at figures and text. *curses* i won't even read my lecture notes for tests, and now these thick stacks of text after my school years? *whines*

but i'm in the division computing US tax returns, so i've got to purge most of the singapore tax training, and undergo another few days of training now. hehz. my brain feels NUMb.

i feel that when the real work starts, i'm going to totally screw it up. i dun understand anything at all...!!! *sobz sobz* went through a summary-lecture of a 600-page taxguide in like, 5 hours.

and about our colleagues, otherwise known as seniors lar. everyone is very friendly and nice. really. (dun want to mention names) but there's this really really cool guy sitting behind us who doesn't talk much, but is really really cool. he's in charge of computers? and one of the seniors is really pretty (and friendly), and the guy senior sitting opposite her is quite dashing too. and everyone is really patient with us, even though we're really noisy and stands out like a sore thumb. kyaa...

niwae, went out to celebrate yting's bday ytd. went early to put am anonymous box of chocs and a rose on her desk. we all denied knowledge, and she's pretty confused over it. worse, we forgot to put her name on it, so she dared not open it initially. lol.

den treated her to pizza hut for dinner, and went shopping for clothes in suntec. going to celebrate hl's bday on sun. "kite-flying!"

today, went out with konno and thong to watch kungfu hustle. i still find it really funny. but the subtitles are wrong! geh! feel like wrestling the subtitles script from the writer and redoing it! its spoiling the humour!

den managed to make the guys guilty enough to walk me home, coz i'm wearing a skirt and dress shoes, and i have long flowing hair, and i look frail and basically assault-meat larz. thanks, guys. although i really meant for you to take the bus back from the interchange and feel guilty all the way. now I'M guilty. peh.

and good luck, jem and reu, for ur NS!

couldn't get up today. forgot to set the alarm yesterday night. thank goodness my mum woke me up.

SIGNing up for driving tomorrow!!! whee!!!!

*rubs eyes*

gee, its been... real long since i came online. leaving off from (omg, 2 weeks ago!?), YAY! i signed up for driving and i'll be undertaking my basic theory test on monday! need 45/50 to pass! and i got 91/100 for the two quizzes i did... i'm scared i'm gonna fail my BTT....

and then... i signed up with a manga rental shop. not really a lot of manga there, but i'm DESPERATE, ok? 15 bucks for membership, and 1 buck per book per day. its extortion! and i'd wanted to waste $17 borrowing 19 books, den he convinced me to get 25 books for $20. thinking back, hey! i spent a whole lot more then i intended! sobz...

den got yy to walk all the way back to my house with me. got hopelessly lost, although i wouldn't admit it in front of her. was just making a straight line through tampines... 45 degrees off course. thank goodness two ns guys pointed us in the correct direction halfway through.

about workplace:

been lugging manga to the office and back this week. borrowed hikaru no go from yting, lending ning inuyasha, and supplying kare kano to yy from the comic shop. ack... and i bought this full set of black cat at $2 each at the sale near the office block last week! the stupid thing was.. i now have double copies of black cat #1-12. geh.... but its super worth it! and now my overhead drawer is full of manga, looks like a manga rental shop. supa KEWL.

and there's a legal betting shop downstairs.. bought 4D (0274, comic shop rental member no.) yesterday.. and toto today... ... SIGHzzzzz. well, at least these 3 dollars down the drain is a good lesson to not gamble. wah~~~ i want my money back!!!

fine fine... about WORK:

i'm.. still training. coz there's no returns to work on yet! still printing stuff and letters to the clients. and since some of the to-be-printed stuff are not yet ready, we spend most of our time redo-ing old files for practice's sake.

but, at least work is picking up now. files to print, and print, and print... and rearrange...

there's no work tomorrow. ahhh... i wanna go back to work!!! there's so many stuff i wanna do~ have to wait till monday. *pouts*

oh, and i left my hp and half-read manga in the office last night. guu... and i wore my jacket home again today~ *sobz* (normally we leave the jacket in the office, since dunnid to wash, and its too hot to wear on the train. but, darn! i forgot to take it off again! and no one reminded me!)

last note: forgot to set the alarm again today. became semi-conscious at 6, and thankfully thought to crawl out to look at the time. *wipes off sweat*

first comment of the week: i need a broom to switch on my bedroom lights.

i think there's something wrong with the connections, so every time i press the light switch, the light would just flicker and die out. then i'd have to get the broom and hit the light frame, getting dust all over my bed. and i'm actually getting used to this. BLEAHz.

well, the non-workdays are pretty packed as usual. Hari Raya Puasa was spent at Orchard with yiling and yz, shopping (grocery-shopping: there's a hokkaido fair! lots of hokkaido imports and food samples! cool~) and watching Elektra. Beh, the bad guys are so much more cooler. especially tattoo. *gushes tattoo... tattoo... tatto... snakesssss*

mew, yiling and yz bought some make-up stuff since l'oreal was having this discount. somehow i feel like its time i learn to dress up as well? but its so much trouble, and i'll get teased horribly anyway. *evil laf* i think for my birthday treat i'm gonna get the 7-gal-gang to all wear skirts and make-up and go somewhere posh for dinner! kekekeke!

then, saturday morning was spent at the robinson's warehouse sale. its fantastic! a must go! which is a rather late announcement, coz its OVER. bwahaha! yep, bought skirts and blouses for work. and a bright red shirt for my father. and a bag for my mum. and i footed the bill with my NETS. it feels great to be paying for my parents after leeching off them for all my life. but the majority of the stuff i bought are MINE, so its really not that glorious, but still! it feels great to be semi-financially independent.

den went off in the afternoon to cycle at ecp with shawn and thong. or so i thought. ended up just sitting and walking around. waaa~~~ if i'd known we wouldn't be cycling i'd not have worn that baggy pair of pants to the sale~~~ *cries* i totally looked like a... a... DORK in the blouses and skirts section lar.... *sobz*

but i think i screwed up the outing coz i didn't know we were having dinner out. ok, it should have occurred to me, but i'd been pretty out of it lately. (still out of it. i think i wouldn't be back to normal until i get 12 consecutive hours of sleep, which hasn't happened since the start of the A's. seriously, i feel like just falling onto the bed and DIE sleeping, den maybe ressurrect 10 years down the road or something. tired.) niwae, felt rather apologetic towards shawn... had wanted to go out again on sun, but cannot larz, in the end. which is just as well, coz my mom refused to let me out that afternoon.

so, sunday. a perfect day for me to get that 12 hours of sleep, and... what did i do? i just remember dying 4 times in Kingdom Heart. which is really idiotic! i was trying to kill the stupid Heartless pawns in the beginning of the game with a wooden sword, when actually i was supposed to just RUN AWAY. considering i was fighting an impossible-to-win, the-enemy-just-wun-die-no-matter-how-much-you-attack fight, i think i did well enough. but i wasted a good two hours just dying. training to level up. extremely long sequence. dying again. level up again. and so on...

niwae, sunday evening was teen's bday celebration at city hall! just for the heck of it i went and wore this... rather skimpy and tight-fitting outfit lar. lol. thank goodness it wasn't ripped to pieces amidst all the shoving and poking going on. *breathe of relief* when yy saw me in that, we decided to go get a shirt for her to change into at raffles place. coz she'd wanted to wear a sleeveless to go with her skirt, but felt it was too revealing. i guess i just made her throw that piece of conservative-sism? down the rubbish chute, lol.

la~ had dinner at fish and co, den went off to the fountain to take photos. met this tourist from Israel there, and asked him to take our picture. geh... can't understand his accent... *sobz*

and monday was the basic theory test lor. super hectic day; we got the others to dapao lunch for us, and had chicken rice at our office desks, poring over our theory booklets. went off to take a trial test before the actual; i failed the trial. lol. den the actual test... well, i have 3 wrong now. 3 more, and i'm a goner. but i think i'll pass lar.

ok. more kingdom hearts now!

notice that just when the blog seems to be reviving, updates stopped coming up again. buu, spent the whole evening yesterday playing Kingdom Hearts. and believe it or not, i almost puked after 2.5 hours of staring at the screen. it was TERRIBLE. pure nausea. i felt like just plonking down on the toilet floor and pass out lorz, it was that bad.

i wonder if it was because i was over-tired, or the screen was too big? i'm sitting too near? the blasted camera keeps revolving round and round and round.. and round... niwae, i just managed to crawl into bed and lose consciousness.

buu, i dun want to touch the ps2 console at all today liao... waste of 500 bucks.. waaa.

and somehow i just suddenly wanted to cut my hair after work today. not shave or cut to Butch-style, but just.. snip snip snip so i wouldn't have to tie it up. so i got 3 people together to go off to the hairdresser near the office.

just chickened out when we reached the SALON. i mean, it's a SALON! (cbd, wat did i expect) it looked so expensive and posh and bleahz that i just turned tail and walked away. i think i'll just go to the $10 barber shop on saturday.

i'm a wuss.

hymph. i'm back.

actually yy and co. just found this place to learn jap, Inoue Language School, Beginner's Course, $270 for 12 sessions. and if we take all the way to the last Advanced Course, it'll be $1440. not that bad a deal rite?

well, my parents just totally went against it. they seldom feel so strongly about stuff i take part in (or so they argue, and i can't think of any examples where they did) so i guess i should listen to them once in a while.

according to them, its just an ultra waste of money and time. and the sad thing is, i can't think of anything concrete to say in my defence, coz lets face it, i'd been totally slack throughout my life and have a long history of losing interest in stuff very fast.

they asked me why i want to learn jap. and DARN. i can't think of a reason that doesn't sound like it was a whimsical fashionable thing to do.

its like... "its a good thing to put on the resume." (LOOK) "expatriate to overseas" (they would give you a year's training before sending you over, and its all paid for) "promotion" (if it matters, you can still take night classes when you're working) (and we've had a lot of friends who spent a lot of time learning jap when WE were in university and they never got to use it. and in our time, 90% of the factories in singapore were japanese, and not one of our friends needed the language)

i hate people who make sense. i think my senselessness is a form of rebellion towards the logical community. bleahz.

bleah. niwae, i'll just hope that i can take free third language courses in university. and i'll try to make a living based on jap-inspired stuff to just SHOW THEM. and also take up a course besides driving to prove that i can juggle my time properly.

my life is screwed... screwed... screwed...

i'm taking jap! bwahahaha!

well, after thinking about it, i decided that wat the hell, i really want to learn jap. and not just for interest. (secret business plans, not to be divulged online)

yep, so i'm hecking it all, and gotten my parent's understanding. signing up for jap soon! bwahahahaha!

eh. den went off to borrow lots of manga. Fruits Basket and Skip Beat... actually i dun really like these, but ah well.

going to read. :D
