weekends are so precious nowadays, before you know it, it`s over & the whole work thing juz revolves yet again.....i really miss those carefree dayz where the weekdays and weekends are no different......it`s pure relaxation....
it`s not easy juggling work and sch assignments...not forgetting the exams and etc....lectures are starting soon and I`m juz so excited to get my momentum back....1 more yr to go and i`ll be so over and done with my degree....work till now has been relatively smooth sailing, not much pressure from my boss to meet the target coz i`m new but i`m feeling pressurized by myself coz i wanna prove that I can start earning commission in my 1st month although it`s yr end and not many pple wanna leave their current job coz the world freaking world is waiting for their bonus...
actually, for all those who dunnoe, i`m currently working as a human resource consultant, basically, i source for suitable candidates for the banks and etc...all kinda MNCs and etc...then i take a commission out of their1st month salary...but it`s paid thru their company and not their own salary...
example: if this company is looking for an engineer and the company is willing to pay $4k for an engineer...i find a suitable candidate, if successful, i get 12% commission on top of my basic...so the more pple switch job, the more i make...simple enuff ??
i recalled ever since i made the decision to stop working at the kopitiam and studying part-time, i really felt that i made the right choice...though my finances are rather low for the time being, it`s worth it...suffer now and ripe wat i sow later on....the future will definitely be like a roller coaster ride...ups and downs....so many things have happened over the past few yrs but i`ve to admit, i`m blessed with so many buddies...pals....NYP + 1 SP bunch...samz and keline...trina they all....and maybe once in a blue moon, the sec sch bunch...no matter wat...i`m very appreciative...lol....
oh well, shdn`t start feeling emo.........tml`s a brand new day to look fwd to and i`m not gonna get the monday blues !!!!!!! NEVER....!!!
1 month and 2 weeks left to christmas...plans are underway to have a wonderful party...can`t wait....will it be at my place like last yr, or at mousy hse...js house...chalet..??? i wonder...
nitez pple....

Work without any fun and laughter is wat i can`t live without, today was really tiring...i could hardly concentrate at work, my eyes were closing and I was just so restless, couldn`t wait till 6pm when i knock off but as usual, left only bout almost 7pm coz i have so much to do yet so little time and i wasn`t enthusiasitc at all.... even during lunch, i went to my fav. famous nasi padang opp great world city but i juz lost my appetite...damn it....i was juz too tired !!!
to be honest, i wasn`t looking fwd to meeting trina for dinner and meeting the crazy gang w/o des, kevin, js for drinks at a pub @ circular rd....i was so dead-tired and was in no mood to enjoy....
nonetheless, followed trina to far east for her shopping while i stone the whole time and watever she tried a new outfit, juz say nice can already....if i say not nice, i muz explain why not nice, so to save the trouble, juz say nice !! save the trouble and complications of explaining...lol....had some light dinner and went to meet weiling, mousy, poy at pacific plaza coz the gals were having their YOGA lessons....felt so energized when i saw there...lol....
since they haven`t had dinner, we went over to the mac outside LIDO to let them have dinner while waiting for mousy's best friend, charlotte to arrive....i muz say, charlotte looks like the British opera singer, charlotte churchhill...lol...same size i mean...ha ha....*heavyweight* champion..lol...kidding la...!! can`t tease our new friend la...
trina couldn`t join us coz she was tired so she went home 1st...nvm, there`ll be other chance for her to come along since she has already met the gals and they seem to be able to get along well... :-) called her at bout 12 plus to make sure she reach home already then continued to have fun...
headed to the pub called 6am if i`m not mistaken, it was a very diff kinda environment from those at dempsey and alley bar...rouge... but it was unique...maybe becoz the boss was a CHINA MAN...ha ha...anyway, played drinking games as usual which was giving me a headache...cards...dice....u name it, we play it all !!!!
it was also a ktv pub so everyone took turns to sings amidst a live audience....it was pure fun which lifted my spirit...i was so shag but i was laughing and drinking like there wasn`t tml !!
and everyone kept saying i`m *honging* charlotte...i was juz being friendly...my gosh, they really think too much....as long as i nv change my braun baffel wallet...nothing will be changed la...
look at how shag and drunk the gals look, left the pub at bout 3 plus, mousy was very tipsy...took out her shoe along the road and dashed at alex to the amaze of the onlookers...they kept telling me that the last time they came, desmond was so drunk until he slept on the road...oh man, i missed out coz i was in taiwan !! damn it...
since all of us stayed at different location, mousy, wei ling and poy boarded the 1st cab, followed by alex all by himself coz he stays in yee tee then charlotte followed me back in another cab...lol...of coz she din alight in yishun, she stays at admiralty which was damn near la...
anyway, charlotte's nails cut my face while we were intoxicated at the pub...look how high she was and how cheeky ah poy was...nb !!!!!!!
came home, watched live european soccer live, MAN utd match of course...and then went to sleep at 5 plus....so tired, good thing tml is a public holiday....

As usual, sunday morning is a time to hurt someone with my soccer boots or be hurt in the event of a collision...lol...
but this week, my cousin was joining my buddies too coz he`s now having his holiday, i was initially rather skeptical because i dun wan him to get hurt and i`ll have a hard time explaining to my auntie and etc....but i was glad everything went well...
rough tackles were made, he was aggressive too but it was a friendly game so there wasn`t much animoisty involved at the end of the game, he`s not bad for a sec 3 boy...ha ha...he has all the stamina which is obviously wat an old man like myself is lacking....lol....
anyway, i scored a goal !!!! but the opponent said it was too high...damn it...but my team-mates all felt it was a goal...oh well, there`s always next week....wat i hate most is going to work on monday and limping coz i`ll always be limping and my boss will laugh at me and ask me not to play anymore...lol....!!
wat happened to my toes? it`s all wei ling's fault, i met the whole gang for dinner at wei ling's mum stall and after dinner, someone, i honestly dunnoe who`s idea was it to go to the nearby playground to chill and play catching..ha ha...
amazing, a bunch of 22-24yrs old monkeys running and making so much noise at the playground, i must say i totally enjoyed myself to the max...reminds me of my childhood !! while playing, wei ling came out of nowhere to catch me and i tripped over my own leg and hurt myself, i thought i was gonna dislocate my shoulder but luckily i din and b4 i realised, wei ling jumped on me...sat on my back and kept wacking my butt !! ha ha....so shiok but ticklish la..!!
after that, my god-son said he wanna see my bike, nicole bailey tan, so we all headed to the carpark to take pix....
lovely retro bike isn`t it....still have a little bit more of touch up to go and my vespa will be the coolest thing in SINGAPORE...lol....must modify and add in a few more accessories to add the final touch to it...
Be amaze soon....

the weekend is finally here....i desperately need my weekend to recharge and etc....
met up with tricia and trina for dinner coz their cousin, genevieve whom i also used to be quite close to couldn`t make it...wellz, we went to Hanabi for dinner...
the place is very similar to IKOI, but i`ve to admit, I kinda regret going there coz the food is very normal, nothing impressive and the buffer coz bout $38 per person....i rather go to IKOI or the other one at raffles place, opp lau pa sat....but nvm it was a gathering so who cares, as long as we all had a place to enjoy and savour the all-too normal food.....
after that, my stomach didn`t feel too good, i also dunnoe why...maybe i ate too much raw food...or i only had 1 meal the whole day and i ate too full...lol....
the night will nv be completed without drinks and chilling out session....headed down to zouk, wine bar to watch the soccer match between Arsenal and Man Utd, shit...draw game 2-2...i guess it`s fated that desmond dun need to treat me dinner...lol....
ANY IDEA WHY we always choose zouk instead of other palces to chill, thats coz we have free entry with CITIBANK credit card and dun need to pay, trica had the zouk membership card coz i also dunnoe why models like herself always get free membership card, double standard against people like us...but she still used her credit card to get the chop coz if she didn`t, she can`t go into velvet underground...!!!!!
my mum sub me the card but to date, i only used it twice coz i dun wan to be murdered when i get home so i always go in using this card but pay using other card...lol....i`m a poor pathetic ORD personnel !!
how cool is that, to think bout it, my workplace is juz opposite zouk, i could go and get the "chop" on my arm every night and then go home. In this way, 1 person less will not have a change to go clubbing for free coz every night is only limited to 300 guess...
we still had to pay for drinks...ordered Malibu pineapple...1 jug = 1 jug free....so wu hua but see ah, must pay $56...wah piang....so broke, luckily not i pay the full amt !
drink drink drink, still not high them went to phuture to club but the DJ was lousy to the max...the songs all same pattern and not nice....so juz stand there and look at gals while the 2 gals danced...felt quite shiok coz so many pple muz be envying me coz i came with 2 gals and they kept trying to dance up to them...lol....
left at bout 130am when the queue was still long coz i was yawning and getting bored, trina's b.f game me a lift home.....continued watching soccer, Blackburn vs Liverpool till bout almost 3am then went to sleep.
guess wat will i be doing on sunday morning....SOCCER OF COURSE !!! *yippy*

work is killing me....so much to learn and i see all my collegues so busy and yet, i feel so demoralize coz i dunnoe much yet and I have to be independent....everyday work till 8plus 9pm...and have to take the MRT home if i nv ride bike...
why dun ride bike, coz early in the morning traffic jam, and the ERP charges is killing me, reach work already spent bout $3 on ERP charges and i haven`t even count petrol and parking coupon...argh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i start work at 930am, if i take MRT, i muz wake up at 8am and make the 825am MRT but if i ride bike, i can wake up at 845am and leave hse at 910am...so much diff and the $$ spent is so much greater...why is the gov. doing this to the poor little boy like me..????
called a few clients and they gave me very bad attitude....very tu lan but i guess in this line of work, i`ve to learn how to swallow my pride and always smile !!! thats the most impt thing...
bloody HR dept...the fucking old aunties are always in a bad mood and wouldn`t entertain u...muz be PMS !!
after work, went down to Isetan to collect my altered pants that i bought with samz a couple of days ago...so fitting but my tummy is getting bigger..opps....but i like it..!! after that, met up with trina for dinner and i made her treat me or else i`ll go home and eat maggie mee....ha ha..her mum called and ask me to go over to their place for dinner but i refused coz i`m not even tricia or trina b.fs...go over for wat..haha....siaoz !!!
of course since it was her treat, i`m not gonna let her off so easily.... we went to this forever long-queue restaurant at katong called "aston" for dinner...it`s not so ex, and the food is damn good....only thing is that u can`t make reservations and have to queue up to see if there are seats available or not....
we ordered 2 steak set and a charcoal chicken set (each set has 2 side dishes)...and 2 imported root beer....guess how much is the total bill ??? bout $32 bucks.....cheap and good rite???
no wonder so many people were eating...
i juz realised they opened another outlet at serangoon garden, near chomp chomp, it`s the coffee shop opposite RK house...ha ha...everyone shd be familiar with that coffee shop with the infamous youtube video on HALAL pork...lol....also damn crowded....cheap and nice food !!!
next time, i`ll go there again but who wanna go with me ???

oh man...how was my 1st day of work.....???
tired to the max....shag out !!!!
i totallly couldn`t focus coz i was still having the post-exam syndrom...brain can`t think or function when my boss was talking to me and giving me training !!!!!
met everyone in my dept, amazingly, everyone`s name start with a "J"....my boss, Justin...assistant manager, Josephine......colleague, Jie Ning and Juliet....so coincidental, maybe that is why i was employed in the 1st place...ha ha....
it`s such a female working environment....and i`m loving it, although pple always say working with women is very stressful coz of the cat fight and etc...over here, everyone get along well and i muz admit they`re very helpful.....i found out how come my boss employed me, apparently, he is a very traditional guy....i forgot wat is his "shi err sheng xiao"...that kinda thing like if u`re born in 1983 (pig)...1984 (rat)...that kinda thing....so he has to see if mine will bring him bad luck or not...ha ha...and everyone in the company must be of a different animal that can bring him luck and as for me, i`m born during the CNY period, so i`m a 1/2 pig and 1/2 dog...ha ha...so he got me, 2 for the price of 1...damn wu hua !!!
ha ha....amazing huh...and he can go on and on by telling us things that dun seem to make sense like, if u born in the morning, it`s fire...afternoon is water and dunnoe wat cock nonsense...so he ask me what time was i born...then i said midnight..and he also dunnoe means wat...ha ha...!!
anyway, there's so much to learn and so little time coz i wanna faster get into the job, familiar myself asap and earn commission and etc....!!!!
my target, i wanna apply for my own credit card by the middle of next yr, must make enuff $ to do so...ha ha.....!!
pray that the next few days would be better than the previous....!!
alex came to my building to look for me for lunch but i was already out for lunch so couldn`t join him, next time he shd juz call and i`ll wait for him.....but 1st few weeks muz eat with my collegues or else they`ll tink i very hao lian, dun wanna eat with them...!!

Finally finished another round of exams, totally brain dead when my paper ended at 5pm...and i had to work the following day...1st day of work...i can`t say i`m totally looking fwd to it but i guess it`s time to make $ and be a couch potatoe any longer...!!
Met samz for a absolutely "disgusting" dinner at NYDC....damn it, regret eating there coz the food is not worth it...and worst still, i`ve to take a pix and smile as though the food was really impressive...*pui* !!!!
the initial plan was to go to Miharu Sapporo Ramen at Gallery Hotel for dinner but coz of the rain and someone's craving for dessert, we went to NYDC lor...!!
let`s see....the nicest food there is the ice earl grey tea with ice-cream toping...that was by far the most edible food there....wat bout the main course...oh well, shdn`t even mention or think bout it...nb....!
the whole meal was a torture but with the crappy samz around, it`s always delightful...hee hee....i haven`t seen her for a long time....i realised that during my exam period, i`ve not been able to meet so many pple due to my lousy time management and revision.
i guess it`s time to make it up to them but it`s tougher now coz i`ll be working and how am i gonna do it....i seriously wonder at times....
after dinner, we went to apple centre to look at the latest ipod nano, diff version from the one i used to have but sold it before even using it...ha ha....everyone remember that story rite...??
the new ipod nano is so cool....but nvm, i muz still wait until the iphone is out then buy !!!! lol...
after that, went to catch a french film with samz called hunting and gathering....seems like not many pple in s`pore like to watch foreign film.....i`m glad i found samz who has the same interest as me, previously, it was juz me and daphne watching but it`s all history now...oh well...it`s a wonderful movie that will make u go..."AweeEee" at the end of the show...
it`s a feel good kinda movie...not that kinda exciting, bloody scene...thriller kind...it`s a beautiful story !!!!
