Dear Diary.
People have Monday Blues. I have what you call, Sunday Blues. (lets out a big BIG sigh) Work resumes tomorrow. And that sucks, really. Pffft. I don't wanna work on a beautiful Sunday ): Alright, shall let the power of money motivate me again. (thinks of the sweet little pleasures of life, which involves money) hurhur.
Anyhow, this evening I was out with my parents, brother couldn't make it. So the three of us went to Chinatown and had dinner together. Heh. I love family outings. 'Cause it's like anywhere we go for dinner is no different from an eat-all-you-want buffet. Lol. We ordered stuff from everywhere and just munched them down. Tsk! Storing energy for tomorrow you see. (sniggers)
Think of work. Think of money. Feel Good.
As you can see, I'm clearly self deceiving.
Goodnight all. I've to pack my bag for tomorrow. (as though going to school)

I'm feeling happy today. Yes, you heard me. Hahaha. Why? Because it's the last working day for the week. Work resumes on Sunday (: Ladida. 3days of rest for me. Hmm. Anyway, here are a few things I've notice within the past 3 days:
- The people there address each other as 'mei nu(s)'
- They have an utterly poor command of English;
> Alphabet pronounced as apper-bert
> Handling pronounced as hannerling
> Flaw pronounced as 4
> Taping pronounced as tap-ing (literally TAP-ing and not TAPE-ing)
> Rachel (if not careful) pronounced as waitress (.....somehow)
THE LIST GOES ON..
-They have really awesome chicken thighs :D
- They can be sorted out into various groups;
> The Pregnant Ladies
> The KPO(s)
> The Really Friendly
> The Cold
> The Gigglish People
> And the soloist, The Transvestite (He, She, It, has fake boobs.)
Blah blah. I'm tired again. I'll end here for today. Will update again some other time.
END.

This morning when I tapped my ez-link, the sound was..different. No longer student fare. But adult fare. Good thing transport is provided to and fro. Yesterday was my last day travelling as a KID. (sniggers) Anyway, 9hours at work was tiring enough. I can't actually imagine how it'd be like tomorrow. I'm feeling lousy already ): True enough, everyone there speaks Mandarin. Half the time, I have trouble understanding or catching what they are saying.
I was yawning AND yawning throughout the day. And it was nearly like attending lessons. Taking down notes, listening to them talk, blah blah. Only, worse. HA! We then had hands-on stuff. Like doing a trial or something. I interacted with two of the factory workers there, which was sort of funny. But I'll skip that part. ('cause im really tired) Yeap. We were given safety shoes, I had to wear men's size, like wth. I HAVE BIG FEET. Lol (: And this top, and our own locker key, blah blah.
When the clock struck 530, we quickly knocked off. (FAST FORWARD) I took the bus journey. Only to realise the route is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from the morning route. Resulting in? Me taking from one end to another, not alighting anywhere, and getting stranded in the middle of Bukit Panjang. Pffft. I think I have a problem with taking buses on the first day. On Primary One, I boarded on the wrong bus, going to I-don't-know-where. Blah blah. I had to take 190 all the way back to CCK Interchange and take bus 300 back home. BOO. I wasted bus fare!
I'm really looking forward to Thursday. MY OFF DAY! ): I always get homesick whenever I work or go to school. Hur! But what gives! I've got $36 for the day already. HANG IN THERE, ME! heh. Goodnight you peeps!

I'm starting work tomorrow. (wails) Okay. Not exactly starting YET. 'Cause tomorrow, on the first day, we're having orientation. Like wth. Factory work? Orientation? Ridiculous. Ahh. What the heck. But tomorrow's working duration will only last for 9hours. Beats working 12hours. hur. They had better not make us do any work 'cause I only get like $36 for orientation (compared to $59 for 12hours).
Sigh. The working blues are back ONCE AGAIN. (frowns) I have a feeling I'm not going to like the environment there. Partly because the people there all speak Chinese. DANG. Aren't they promoting the SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH MOVEMENT?! No, I do not have something against Chinese Educated people. Only that my mandarin..SUCK? Then there'll be the whole language barrier shit. Pfft.
Alright. I don't want to be a drag. I'll stop complaining. I'll do it for the money. Yes. The MONEY. hurhur (: I'm gonna get myself this pair of shoes. Or maybe another pair, if I find something better. Heh!

Oh yes! I thought of doing online shopping. You know, tops and stuff. I saw this Abercrombie & Fitch top, I like (: The only thing is, official sites don't offer any measurements. And Singapore doesn't have the shop. Hmm. I went to Republic Polytechnic for the open house, which was a tad waste of my time, 'cause the main purpose of going there was to get the brochures. Only to realise I could get all the information off the school's site. What a joke. NEVERTHELESS, having my Kylie's company was enough. Lol. After that, we went to Lot 1 and met up with Sherlin, whom surprised us with gifts from HongKong. I wanna go overseas too ):
End.

(sniggers in excitement) I'VE GOT MY VERY OWN VAIO! ahhh! omg, the JOY. the EUPHORIA. OMG! hahahaha. i've been waiting for this very day to come. i always thought, so yeah. i'm gonna get a laptop one day. but probably some Acer laptop. but WHAT THE HECK. ha! :D this is practically a dream come true!
i was out with my parents yesterday (Saturday, 6th of January), when my father decided to head to Harvey Norman. and he decided to check out the laptops and started enquiring. (cuts to the chase).. i had to choose from Espresso Black. Urban Gray. Seashell White. Spring Green. and Blush Pink. i opted for the Green one in the end. and since it's currently out of stock. i've to wait until Wednesday. then i'll go back down with my mom and collect it. WAHA! [happy, sha lala. it's so nice to be happy, sha lala]

my very FIRST stayover chalet in the 17 years of my life. i went for my class chalet. which was a shocker (to myself) 'cause last year, when they were planning this, i was all set on NOT going, persisting. lol. anyhow, i got convinced. somehow. it's probably going to be the very last time i'll hang out with these peeps anyway. and since i didn't have access to the internet then, i thought maybe going would help me kill time. hur! (and i have to work on my new year resolution, so...heh!)
during the first day/night. it was utmost HILARIOUS. especially during bedtime. in room 208, it consisted of 10 of us. and room 209, more. i didn't get to sleep the entire night even after changing places 3 times. from one bed to another. because through the night, they were making a hell load of noise. i think the peeps in 209 could hear the whole racket. also, unidentified people were farting away. like wth right. madness. then etc etc. (laughs)
surprisingly, without sleeping a wink i could survive through Day 2. only i had a really nasty case of gastric since Day 1. which totally destroyed my appetite. oh yes! during Day 2. Me, Anna, Miao Hui, Jia Ling, Madeline, Yuit Yeng, Yazid and Hamdi went for the 2 rides. The Luge and Sky-Ride. whilst on the sky-ride (for those who dont have a clue as to what im talking about, view the picture below)
Sky-Ride
as i was saying. whilst on the ride, Hui Min called..yada-yada.. my money literally FLEW AWAY. when it was high up. like PFFT! yeah yeah, two bucks isn't much of a biggie. but that was all i have left. dang! the luge was awesome. though i crashed into the curb once. hurhur (:
The Luge

[FAST FORWARD]
shortly after the barbeque started, i left with anna and miaohui for home. fortunately for me, i had mh's father to fetch me back home. anna went to meet a friend. Lol (:

On this very day there were two series of events. In the morning, I went for a job interview. The details are as follows: 12hours a day. Tuas. Transport provided. On Wk1 i work for 4days (SUN MON TUES WED) on Wk2, 3days (SUN MON TUES), then restarting the 4day/3day routine again. Paying $59 a day. If i work on my off day, they pay $72 a day. wow right (: As for the jobscope, I'll be doing checking of any flaws on the products, and more stuff which I'm not sure of now. hmm. I'll update on the first day of work. When I'm clearer of things. Ladida. Also on this day, i got my precious lappy. heh (: shan't elaborate on this.
That's about it for this entry. I'll update again when I have more to say. Farewell my fair-weathered friends (:
