everything went well on thursday when i met up with my old classmates from sji. we probably missed each other like hell cos everyone was having their own commitments. like they have school to attend and i have my work. but nonetheless we tried REALLY hard to meet up and we succeeded. yays! =) the last time i saw them was on teacher's day if i remembered correctly. yeah. like how sad. 4 months of not seeing your good friends. met up with siujoon first as he was in town earlier than the rest. he's having summer holidays now so yeap. he dropped by singapore and will be leaving in february or something. clifton and sherman came later cos they had school on that day. i told siujoon we shall meet up at the fountain at taka. i don't know if i did tell him which fountain it was. the inside or outside one. haha. but it's always i waiting at one fountain and my friend waiting at the other fountain. so weird. it's not the first time. it happened quite a few times. we were trying to catch up with each other as much as we could before clifton and sherman came. after the other two came we decided to dine at long john silvers cos the far east chicken rice stall was crowded as usual and expected. somehow i feel like i'm the 'big shot' when i'm with my sji pals. you know the good feeling like when you always call the shots that kind of thing. maybe cos they respect me alot as a friend. and i respect them alot as well. by coincidence we met ziwei =) was pure coincidence man. we were talking away while eating [which is a bad habit =p] then we decided that dota's next. called ziwei and his other friend along. so it was siujoon, clifton and me vs ziwei and his friend from cjc. sherman had to leave earlier due to ahem reasons. and like seriously he have a gf. before leaving for LAN we asked his gf to help the 4 of us take photos. sweet =D. it was dota - dota - dota for an hour or so. ziwei and his friend left first. after that clifton and siujoon brought me for pool. honestly speaking i really can't pool. watched them play initially. and it was extremely nice and patient of them to teach me. i did learn abit. not much though but i guess i won't touch pool for a long time. unless i meet up with them again =) which god knows when will be that day. clifton's crumpler bag was so irresistable. half way through while siu joon and clifton was playing i asked him for his bag to try out see if i look fine with it. i went out of the pool shop and PARADED around meridien. ya. seriously paraded. meridien's filled with mirrors. and i was looking at myself with bestie's bag. how dumb is that. haha. siu joon and clifton thought i was crazy. ok i was just crazy over his bag. cos it looks very good =) but 170+ bucks for a bag. -faints- where to find such money? siu joon was quite surprised with me cos for the whole day i didn't flex my arm. is it really that surprising? haha. not at all lor. anyway when they were starting on their 3rd game of pool i needed to go off. kissed siujoon good-bye. ok not so mushy as to kiss =p. hugged siujoon good-bye before leaving. i didn't want to make the good-bye thing too long or not we will both end up crying and i mean it's not nice if other people see it. it's saddening cos he will be going back to australia real soon and can only be back earliest by december. but never mind. there's always still clifton xD. see how great can your day be when you spend it with your buddies. -smiles-

i went to collect my pay yesterday afternoon. shh=p. and i'm going out with my old classmates from sji later in the afternoon. don't plan to bring alot of money out either. or else they will ask me to treat LAN. yesterday night when chatting with clifton he suggested playing DOTA today. i was like ok la. then he was saying LAN costs 1.50/hr. so i tried to fake. wa lao. 1.50/hr so ex. haha. mustn't let them know i have money now. wait they will force me to pay for everything. and i haven't spent any money for myself yet. i want to go buy stuffs on friday. see if i can find anyone to go out with first. even though working is rewarding in a sense that you get money for effort you put in but i'm still wondering. why is it so complicated? does it even have to be complicated? will continue blogging if i have time when i come home.

worked on monday, thursday and friday this week. monday was kinda high profile and important. mindef came to host their combined meeting with the army officials from indonesia. ness and i were in charge of serving the many guests that arrived for reception until their meeting started. they're super friendly people with super high ranks too. i might consider joining the army too =D. then later on there was lunch and blah blah blah. jacky came to help out. just had to make them feel welcomed. that's basically what the service line is about. to make people feel that they're being greeted warmly. yes. and you have to smile and smile all day long till your mouth goes like PAIN. ended around 7 plus. thursday went to meet shawn at citylink first at 8.30am before we went to work. didn't like the fact that the host of a table asked me to do this do that. every table had this host from my hotel since the hotel was hosting a free lunch for people coming from the hotel line as well. it's like really rush that day cos need to serve don't know how many dishes in such a short time. thankfully the other tables were fine. after that as usual had to do all the clearing before we could go. then on thursday got to know elizabeth too. elizabeth sounds long so i call her liz will do. went to hang out with my colleagues after work. at the same time spent time getting to know her cos she seemed like a nice girl that i can make friends with. so i let the others walked in front then was talking to her behind. everyone suddenly stopped walking at the macs in marina square. a few of them went in to eat. i didn't want to as i had kfc a day ago. followed liz, priscilia and mazina to the food court cos they didn't want fast food as well =). i ended up not getting any food. i shouldn't spend money if not i wouldn't be able to get a new mobile phone by chinese new year. i can't imagine myself not having food from morning all the way till night. none of us got to have lunch break during work as everything was super rush. priscilia said she WILL give me her extra 7610 hp cover if i get that phone. haven't really decided which phone to buy either. later on four of us went to join the others at the bowling alley. firstly i didn't play cos my bowling simply sucks. plus i don't like bowling. liz wasn't playing too. she like 'forced' me to put all my things down and sit down with that concerned concerned look. concerned cos it looked concerned mah =p. we talked a little. at the same time got to know her more. vicey-versa. she's a soccer babe xD. she used to play other sports like basketball and netball too. so cool! after watching them play 2 games of bowling it was time to go. anyway i was hungry and needed to go home to find something to eat or not i'l just faint or something. walked with liz to the mrt. i was like ok la. told myself i need to see her home cos she told me a few times she wasn't feeling well. the mrt was fcuking crowded. i hate it! sorry but that's how you react when you feel sian after work. took the train to ang mo kio with her. accompanied her to take a bus before reaching her house. although she kept saying no need no need. i said cannot cannot. haha. can't let her go home alone what if like something happens to her. she looked as if she was going to collapse anytime. her house was FAR from mine and it was late but i still didn't complain =D. it's been such a long time i really smiled until i met her for the first time. i don't know why either. maybe it's just like that or cannot be explained? i don't know. then i felt more at ease when she got back home safely. on my way in 132 back to malcom road cari smsed to tell me something happened in school. i don't wish to type it out cos there were personal things. i feel kinda sad for her. i guess people do bully her in school. i didn't reply her. called her hp instead. spoke to her for 30+ minutes before she finally went to sleep. not to mention that the 190 bus was damn crowded too. was sqeezing and talking to cari at the same time. and omg. by the time i reached home it was past 10. starving like hell. i usually don't come home this late. mummy doesn't nag as much nowadays [which is a good thing] cos i'm earning money [which is also another good thing xD]. wanted to meet up with cari on friday since my works only starts at 5 and her school ends at 2. too bad she had training for her cca. friday's work was tough i would say. especially the clearing part. make me do all the shyt work. i realise earning money makes you forget about all the fatigue temporarily. but after that your body will feel worn out and exhausted. i need to earn money cos i'm a poor guy :( oh ya. saw liz on friday. hee xD. -slaps head- i'm secretly happy. -slaps harder- i mustn't think so much. so far there're more ups than downs at work. yay. but why am i always so sad. so contradicting.

i had a really late dinner today at 10.30 p.m. started off working at 10 in the morning today till about 7 plus. met jacky and ness at work. so jacky was this guy my friend was telling me about. he who broke his leg on the first day of work. thankfully nothing of this sort happened to me. like OMG. he is 7 years my senior. suitable to be my kor kor =) work is so stressful. no sitting down. little rest time. i only had a half an hour lunch break. apart from that i never got any chance to even sit down. which pain-ed my legs alot. nonetheless i still love to go to work. because it helps to keep my mind in an active state. went to change up after work. ness and jacky were waiting for me outside the changing room. so i didn't want to take my own sweet time =p. walked together with the both of them to the mrt station forgoing the idea of grabbing a bite even though i'm like super starving. took the same line as ness. actually i could have taken a bus. it saves me MORE money. in the end i still decided i wanted to go by mrt because in a way it was seeing ness home too =). the journey wouldn't get too boring [compared to taking bus alone] . at least i had someone to chat with on my way home. took a quick bath and waited for daddy to buy food home from work. he usually doesn't come home this late at 10 plus. guess he had something on at work. it's getting to 12. i want to DOTA before i sleep. i'm so tired. someone please give me energy to DOTA =p.

shall blog about what happened last week. so for last week i worked on friday and saturday for two days in a row. work is getting more fun and interesting each day as i get to know more people. it brings me back to sometime around this time last year when i didn't try hard enough to step out of my comfort zone to actually try hard enough to get myself a damn job. anyway the job i'm holding now in the hotel was recommended by a friend :) yeap. actually most of my job interviews and agencies were recommened by people. so it shows my efforts of finding a job aren't that great =p. to all my friends who tried getting me a job. -thanks!- i still have one job pending at suntec. maybe when the slots for the hotel are full i'l book empty slots at suntec if there happen to be any so at least i do something productive. on friday it was a little different. someone i didn't know came up to me and she told me. you're so & so's friend right. then i was surprised for a moment. how you know?? after that when we chatted i found out she's my friend's friend. hmm. what a small world. in fact you can be indirectly linked to many people around you just that you don't know =p. anyway we talked more and more and more when work ended. and she lives just 5 blocks away from me. omg la. that's even more surprising. so we took the same transport home. hee. i love my job! sad thing is i need to buck up my chinese because i always end up not understanding what people say. probably too chim for me :( for now work can kill [because it's more tiring than my workout] but yet it's a pleasure =D. and i don't mind the long hours. sadly i don't have time for exercise now. fei si wo!

woohoo. i'm going random in dota. random-ed my way today. the first game i had this morning i got venomancer. the other game i got spirit breaker. damn good hero. i had a totally clean sheet. didn't get pawned at all today. though a few times i was so close to dying when i pawned a hero. some team-mates just suck especially those in the 3v3 game. when i got 3 kills they've not even gotten a single kill and they said i'm not helping the team. fuck can. the 5v5 game was quite ok. apart from those leavers. always can't have a good game on battlenet. people tend to leave half way throughout the game for whatever reason. yesterday's game was VERY HORRIBLE. i got holy knight. omg. i didn't know how to use that hero at all. except supporting my team-mates a little with the ultimate and the don't know what teleporting spell. guess it didn't help much either. conclusion: i suck at support heroes. like holy knight =p. dota tonight again xD. will be working for the next two days which is friday and saturday. just collected my pay for new year's eve yesterday. yay. trying very hard to save up now. hopefully i can get myself a new mobile phone before chinese new year.

i only had 3 kills today. argh :( and i was using chaos knight. that makes it even sadder because ck's one of my better heroes. i seriously should learn how to use more heroes though i totally hate some heroes but i'l TRY. every game i'l go mid lane. don't know whether it's a good or bad thing but people were telling me. mid lane is for PROS. really?? heck la. anywhere will do. today my team-mates were ok. as in we supported each other quite well though in the end we still lost. it was a 5v4 game :( i'm sure one less hero on our team does make a difference. aiya. people always leave half way in battlenet. what to do. the worst is still getting fucked-up team-mates. for eg. saying you keep feeding when they have like even more deaths than you. dota is not that FUN till the extent that i'm addicted to it but it does help me past my time and beat the boredom :) haha. nights.

i worked for the first time ever in my life. on new year's eve :) i arrived at marina about an hour earlier before my work starts so i get to roam around seeing what nice stuffs are there. before i went to the hotel i changed into my black pants and shoes in one of the toilets in marina square. that reminded me of the massive flood which took place in the shopping mall. everyone was like giving the omg reaction when they practically saw water pouring down from the ceiling somewhere outside world of sports. anyway back to work. since i was new there so naturally i was blur and my friend didn't work yesterday :( and there was no one i knew there. but i still managed to get help from people. thankfully. hmm it was alright. still managed to 'pull through' everything. there were a handful of nice peeps and chaps that i got to know while working. pretty fun-loving people. then there was stuffs to learn like how to use the serving gear which i can't really master as yet. basically this is how the job went. first i did some cocktail serving at the reception and kinda welcomed the guests too. not so much of welcoming but rather serving them with drinks. just got to make sure they feel welcomed. now comes the slightly tough part. which was serving the wedding banquet. so each of us was assigned to a table. and we need to take care of bringing out food. changing plates. refilling drinks and cater to the needs of the guests. it was also the first time ever in my life that i've sliced a duck in front of so many people. for a first timer i think i still can make it. just that i need to improve more so i can do a better job in future :) the rate was really appealing too. $8/hr. omg. that was what i heard from my friend. hee. too bad she wasn't working there yesterday. after all the 9 dishes were served we had to do clear up as well. oh that's life of working in a hotel :( at midnight everyone went up to the poolside to catch a view of the fireworks display at esplanade. it was so pretty-yy. the shiny shiny patterns and the thumping thumping sound. omg!! xD. i wished all my friends i made on the day itself happy new year though i can only recall a few of their names. people like cunxi, joe, shawn, a malay guy (i don't know his name) and others which i don't know their names either. they were a nice bunch of peeps to work with given this is the first time i met them. after fireworks was just clearing and clearing till 2. i can't believe it. the job is even tougher than my workout. maybe probably because my workout isn't intense enough. my back, legs and arms hurt like crazy. argh. there was cab back. shared cab with 3 other girls because the hotel can't afford to send everyone home in one cab. that would be like a total waste of money. the place outside marina square was in a mess. so much rubbish being thrown around. we walked to esplanade to book a cab instead. hmm esplanade was only a little better. still as much people though. we only got on our cab at like 3 plus. then the girls requested that they wanted to go home first. yeap. i was fine with it and ended up only reaching home at 4. i was dying in church today due to the lack of SLEEP =p. happy new year van, sally, yi min, my taxi-mates for spending time talking to me. and of course everyone :) somehow new year's mood is still quite saddening after saying so much.
