this is so not going to work out for me...

OH SHIT.

That's the first thing that came out of my mouth the minute I got struck. Well...it was more that "OH SHIT! What am I supposed to say!?" Mind you, this is only a role-play and I am already unable to handle it. What would actually happen when I actually get on the floor and starts speaking to real customers...

I can't even dare to think...

Tonality - Not there
Product Knowledge - SO NOT THERE

This would be me right now. The one who is supposed to project confidence, inspire confidence in the customer and have the correct information at fingertips...

This is not going to work out...

Forget it...Need to brush up on my product knowledge. TOMORROW. After outing with the clique. Told to bring the camera. Going shopping first. Money...

The tooth fairy in the fire engine...

We had a fire drill at work on Friday. LOL We could predict when it was about to all start when the fire wardens started going around with the badge around their arm. All that sense of "urgency (NOT)" really made me missed the drills in SMSS where Mr Gan would sometimes hold a lighted candle out of the classroom window. As soon as people's attendance was taken, they started queuing up for ice-cream. Of course I joined the queue! Actually, the whole training group ate some, including our trainer. The heads of departments too. I saw them walking back with ice-cream in their hands after the dismissal. LOL

Of course, and made me remember one of the more exciting moment in my secondary life. Getting bitch-screamed at fire drill in front of my peers. Ahh~~the memories bring tears to my eyes.

Test coming up on Tuesday. Have not started studying yet. And I have lots to memorize. My usual study habit surfaces.

Took out my wisdom tooth. 600 dollars plus. From my Dad's medisave account as I only have about $340 in my own. It was pretty fun. The local anaesthseia shot was bearable, probably only because they put numbing gel over my gum first. Didn't really feel much after.

Gave me music (choice of CD or radio stations, I picked 933FM) and covered my eyes. Requested for the music to be turned off in the middle. Distracting to have to pick out the dentist's voice over the music. And I would rather know what's going on. Was actually thinking of asking to get rid of the cloth too but I do not want to be seemed as fussy. LOL

I am in love with a new phone!!

U900 (Ultra Edition 10.9)

This is similar to E900 but it has pretty keypad! Which is my only grip about the E900. Retail price is at $500plus now. Hopefully, when November comes around, the price would have dropped.

I am going to grow fat again...

I work next to Plaza Singapura now. Food is readily available. So NOT good. NOT good at all. Yoshinoya twice now, Long John Sliver today. Someone stops me!!

Food aside, I feel a headache coming on. The product knowledge is going to kill me. I understand it fine enough, it's remembering it all that will do me in. Statement savings account, current account, PowerVantage account, PowerVantage with PLOC (Personal Line of Credit) and Premier account....blahblah the list is never ending, The notes are a pile high.

Did a short roleplay today. Okay, for once I was not told I speak too fast. Just that I seems to try to end the "call" in a hurry. And I need to inject more warmth into my speech.

Hi~Good Morning~~This is Sandy speaking~How may I~ address you~~?

[Lyrics] Lee Jung - Don't Make Me Cry

Lee Jung - Don't Make Me Cry

我就像一个玩偶
被埋在了沙堆里
你在我的记忆里涿渐远去
别让我流泪
我不想成为悲剧的主角
别让我流泪
我不想被记忆成一首悲伤的歌
你的身影在我脑中
我的心中满是悲伤
那晚你给我的笑脸
已经远去我的视线
我就像你的洋娃娃
埋在沙漠里
你在我的记忆里涿渐远去
别让我哭泣
我不想成为悲剧电影的主角
别让我哭泣
我不想做为悲剧电影被忆起
对你的思念一遍又一遍
我的心中悲伤无限
那晚你给我的笑脸
已经远去我的视线

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru toiu yo

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru to iu yo
Tadori tsuku sono saki ni wa
Nani ga bokura wo matteru?

Nigeru tame ja naku yume ou tame ni
Tabi ni deta hazusa tooi natsu no ano hi

Ashita sae mieta nara tame iki mo nai kedo
Nagare ni sakarau fune no you ni

Kurushimi no tsukita basho ni
Shiawase ga matsu toiu yo
Boku wa mada sagashite iru
Kisetsu hazure no himawari

Kobushi nigirishime asahi wo mateba
Akai tsume ato ni namida kirari ochiru

Kodoku ni mo nareta nara
Tsuki akari tayori ni
Hane naki tsubasa de tobi tatou
Motto mae he susume

Amagumo ga kireta nara
Nureta michi kagayaku
Yami dake ga oshiete kureru
Tsuyoi tsuyoi hikari
Tsuyoku mae he susume


On the opposite coast of sadness
Is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching
for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on

Nagareru kisetsu no mannaka de

In the middle of this drifting season
I suddenly feel the length of the days
In the midst of these quickly-passing days
You and I dream away

With my feelings on the March wind
The cherry blossom buds continue on into spring

The overflowing drops of light
One by one warm the morning
Beside you, I’m a little embarrassed
After a huge yawn

I’m standing at the door to a new world
What I’ve realized is that I’m not alone

If I close my eyes
You’re behind my eyelids
How strong has that made me?
I hope I’m the same for you

The dusty whirlwind
Tangled up the laundry, but
The white moon in the morning sky
Was so beautiful, I couldn’t look away

There are things that don’t go the way I planned
But if I look up to the sky, even they seem small

The blue sky is cold and clear
The fluffy clouds float by quietly
If I can share with you the joy
Of waiting for the flowers to bloom, I’ll be happy

From now on, I want you to be quietly smiling beside me

If I close my eyes
You’re behind my eyelids
How strong has that made me?
I hope I’m the same for you

I'm a gainfully employed member of society.

Well, nothing happened much today. First day at work. Just shadowing seniors and listening in to calls. And that's that. The entire day. Training will start tomorrow. So, yup listening to calls without any product knowledge. It's interesting for the first few hours but ya...started fidgeting later. No idea what they are talking about. Okay, I do know/understand a bit of what they are talking about, just have no idea how my mentor got the info off of his database. Typing damn fast away...LOL. Will see how training goes tomorrow.

Met two people today. Dang Ni from secondary school days, and Chin Fatt from polytechnic days. All at Dhoby Ghaut MRT . One in the morning and the other after I knocked off from work. What a surprise...

Blogger is disagreeing with me again. Or should I say it is at loggerheads with singnet instead. I must use the proxy settings in Firefox before I can view it in the usual working condition...Why...seriously. Before it was livejournal. now it's blogger. Singnet just seems to like screwing things up for me...

There's something wrong with blogger again...

Okay...now it's confirmed. I have a job, officially with appointment letter signed and all. Starting next week. I will now start contributing to society again. Earn money, spend money, contribute to our nation's GDP.

Shit, I have forgotten all my economics theories. There's supposed to be a long string, with interest rate, dollar value blahblah. I was good at it before. Found the mind map that Ms Wong drew us fascinating. And now, I don't even remember the basic.

Blah.

Anyway, I signed my appointment letter yesterday. Met up with Angela and YX for KTV then. Took lots of random photos, which I am too lazy to post up. Just most of them showing how YX is a mike-hog slash cam-whore, while Angela fancied herself being Jay Chou dodging the paparazzi because she has a hooder on. Ya, while I was the cameraman who had too much time on her hands. Resorting to taking picture of our drinks down to our shoes.

I need to find out the Korean characters for my favorite Korean songs. Then, I won't keep randomly picking weird songs at KTV. Still, surprise surprise, they have Only Human by K at K-Box. And it's a original MTV version, not those with random angmoh or even Japanese girls walking or dancing emo-ly around.

It was fun. Haven't been to KTV for a while now and just plain enjoying ourselves and doing silly things. The last time was on JY's birthday. Fun as it may be, it was not as silly and enjoyable like this.

We went over to Heeren after the KTV session, because Angela and YX wanted to look at clothes. They got shoes. Slippers actually, at 2 pairs for 38 dollars. YX told me that's actually dirt cheap seeing how one pair usually goes for 42 dollars plus. o_O Of course, I am so broke my middle name's broke, I did not participate. As usual, sat at any available seat till they wanted to move on. Complained about my toes killing me. Breaking out my new shoes. Work shoes, seriously hoping it would not keep pinching my toes for much longer.

Had wonton noodles, before moving on to Kinokuniya at Takashimaya. I got a novel! Was actually planning on getting it from Amazon after I got my pay but yeah! Kino has it. No need for extra conversion rates from USD to SGD, shipping fees etcetera etcetera.

Finally got about to making our way home after a long while. YX wanted to see Daniel while I just wanted a free ride. Well, THAT did not happen so bus. Ya...home...

So tired. Transfered songs to Angela and YX. Photos from camera to PC, resized and then transferred. Too tired, did nothing else and went to bed.

Ya, up at 10 plus this morning. Finished reading my novel, and back online. Bloody everlasting hell, my clubbox is moving damn slowly, wasting my quick-points. And it has been like this for the last couple days. Bloody everlasting hell.

at the request of angela

and since she's not doing it properly in her own blog...and ingoring the pleas/demands of jingyun...

I need to learn to put up my hair...

...with a chopstick. Took one from my mum. A right mess I made out of my hair. It will be loose and fall apart the next minute or it will be tight as hell, feeling like my hair is on the verge of being pulled out. I would conquer it! Or go bald trying!

Ate at Sakae Sushi Westmall with my mum and younger sister. 6 plates each, with one more premium plate for my mother and we are done. Would never do well at buffets. Then, I got a pair of shoes! Courtesy of my mum.


Quite cute-looking. Been wanting to get one open-toes heel for a while.


我的炤妖鏡...Hahaha, now I can tell who is standing at the door without me having to turn around physically.


Also allows me to indulge in my occasional spouts of vanity.

And I wonder myself why do I get so fat?

I'm eating fishballs and minced-meat now. At 2AM. It's really no wonder I am fat. Before that, it's curry for lunch and dinner.

Seriously, my grandmother is putting all my efforts to waste. Every time she comes over, she cooked us delicious food. I eat them for lunch and dinner, spoiling my diet plan of only having one meal a day.

Tomorrow, I'll be enjoying the leftover curry for lunch. All that chicken....And my mother told/suggested to eat Sakae Sushi on this coming Thursday.

My diet~~the lard on my tummy and thighs are never going away....
