Expoooo

Work is kinda fun. Tiring but interesting. The customers are nice enough, with no one throwing a big fuss. Yet. Although a friend did mess up on the first day, but that was ok . The Expo hall is HUGE and when an item doesn't have a price tag, you have to either ask someone to go search for it or go and search for it yourself. Which means running around with a variety of items such as bras, dresses or pans. And then having to apologise profusely to the customer who is waiting. And some of the customers don't want the item after waiting too long so, you waste your time running around. -.- Anyways, today, got scolded by the seniors cause last night's closing was chaotic. About half of the POS machines were crazy and some cashiers opened too many coins so they had to count painstakingly. And the crowds were huge although the sale ended at 10pm. Meaning, when they announce the sale is closing, they will queue and you can only officially close at 10.30pm. Counting takes time and...

Feelings

Hmm , with the posting of the schools, I finally feel like an EX- Yusoffian . Like, that chapter in my life is officially closed. Written with THE END and closed, filed away in a tiny corner of my mind. How do I feel? Happy. Excited. Nervous. Scared. A bit nostalgic though. I keep thinking, the past four years of my life went by so fast. TOO fast. Especially last year. 2009. It went by like a speeding rocket, trying to break free of the clutches of Earth's gravity. Yeah. I can't believe my secondary school life is over. 2009 seems so long ago, when in fact, it was just a month ago. And it was 3 months ago when we were still in school, cramming for our O's . *SIGH* But I am optimistic about the future. It is bright yet vague. Exciting yet scary. Full of hope and promises of greater things to come. So yes, I hope I made the right choice because I don't want any regrets. Even if I do, it'll be a lesson learnt, an experience gained. Cause I am so looking forward to T...

Adventure

Well, another chapter. Another adventure. Yeehaaaw . Am I happy? Yeah, cause all of the courses I chose were the ones I liked. :D

Smile

Had the night shift yesterday. Thought it would be busy but in fact, not so much difference. A lot of standing around, fake smiling at people and secretly willing them to buy that white handbag so that I have something to do. Hah . Seriously, the handbags/accessories department is not so hot. Unlike the shoes department which has loads of people who actually buy stuff. The counter for my department is hidden behind a huge pillar but it is beside an entrance. Unfortunately, people use that entrance to go in, pass by us and go out to the other side. -.- Mostly, office people use that entrance to go to lunch. Feeling cheaters. Anyways, did closing last night. Had to count the float, vouchers, and overall takings. Thought we had a shortage of $10, so we frantically counted again but in the end, the $10 was hidden inside the drawer. Whew. Clocked out and went home. 37 minutes MRT ride was boring. Yawn. Working again later. Check out this cool sites: http://thisisphotobomb.com/ http://www.y...

AHH

Well, I've been working for the past few days. Technically, 4 hours a day and most of it spent standing around and waiting, but still. After work, I will log on the computer and watch VLOGS ! Woohoo ! Haha . Seriously, vlogs are like, the BEST form of entertainment ever. Better than reality TV as they are not fake. As in, the characters are real people who go on with their daily lives. Except their lives are way more entertaining then mine. Hmm . Vlogs recommended for watching are SHAYTARDS , KassemG and Breaking NYC ( RayWilliamJohnson ). Extremely fun and addicting, especially the SHAYTARDS . Haha . :D

Australian Open 2010

Image
Since the Australian Open 2010 is in 2 days time, I am going to post my favourites to land the title. You can never have a favourites list without THE MAN , Roger Federer . Having regained his Midas' touch, winning the French Open and Wimbledon last year and assuming his place once again at the top, Roger Federer is definitely the king of men's tennis. He lost in last year's final to Rafael Nadal in another epic 5 set thriller and will be back to add another Grand Slam to his already record breaking haul of 15. Definitely one of the top favourites. World Number 2, Rafael Nadal had a torrid time last year, when he lost his French Open crown to his rival, falling in the semi final to Swede, Robin Soderling . He succumbed to injuries and missed the chance to defend his Wimbledon title, which Federer again regained. Rafa will be back to defend the title he won last year. Ah, the Joker. He has improved a lot, but is still a One Slam Wonder. His first Slam was the Aussie Ope...

Sharapova romance

Image
Wow, this earth shaking! picture shows the glamorous tennis superstar, Maria Sharapova , HOLDING HANDS with Lakers ' point guard Sasha Vujacic . OMG . I hope with this new romance, it will help her get back to the top. Because she hasn't looked this happy. And she has NEVER showed affection to any guys in public EVER . So this is truly remarkable. LOL . Oh, and finally! someone who can match her 6 foot 2 inches height. Haha . Peace out, Australian Open in a few days!

Planes

Image
Went to Changi Airport after the briefing at Expo. I hate going to airports because I know I'm not gonna get on one of those big, shiny aeroplanes and fly off to a new, exciting destination. Haha . I so badly wanna go to another country. Like Australia or Britain or something. Somewhere, anywhere that is not Singapore. Because the more I think of it, the more I don't wanna be stuck on this small island forever. I do wanna get out of here, work, live somewhere else, and then probably, hopefully, come back. Well, that's the master plan anyways. Although retiring here would be expensive and my dream has always been to retire by the beach and lead a relaxed, slower pace of life. Hmm ... Submitted JAE application. I am hoping I get into any of the courses because I like all of them. :)

results

Image
Well, got our results today. It felt like going to the dentist. Haha . Cause I hate the dentist and my heart beats super fast whenever I'm there. -.- Anyways, we went to Ama's house, where Sob was doing her hair and Keciq was setting up Ama's twitter. Then went to school to sit at the canteen and eat the school food for one last time. "Taste of sweet reunion in the air." Then went to the hall. Saw teachers, listened to explanations, saw school results compared to national results, then it was time. My results are satisfactory. Got more than I aimed for. My aim was 20 points and less and I got exactly that and more. I'm proud of the fact that I got an A1 for English, way surpassing my expectations as I had expected at least a B. My essay was quite crappy but I guess the people over there liked it, so thank goodness. I passed my Maths which was such a relief! But I failed my Science. -.- Although I had anticipated that. Hmm ... Then saw Mdm Wong. She stopp...

The day!

Whoa oh... Tomorrow is THE DAY . You know, THE DAY ? It's when our future is made or broken. O Levels results day! Are you scared? Nervous? Excited? Whatever? I'm scared + nervous + excited. So, will be seeing all of my old schoolmates for the last time. :( Now, I gotta iron my skirt, and find my uniform and decide on what shoes to wear. :0

Hello 2010

First post of 2010. Long time coming cause I've been lazy. Yes. Erm , the new school year started for whoever was schooling. Which kinda made me miss school even more. Cause I was wondering to myself, what was it like? Who are the new kids? New teachers? -.- Last time I will ever walk into the school will be next week for the results day. Which I am totally excited yet nervous about. My future will be revealed next week! :O Oh, and I got a job. Heh . It involves coffee and tea. Peace out! HOPE that your 2010 is gonna be amazing! :D
