havent blog for erm.. last 2 nights. haha tats just not long ago but a lot of things happen.
lets see, i have a full day of fun on sunday went to shangri-la hotel for the fantastic international buffet.the food there is gorgeous, yes gorgreous is the word i use coz everything there looks beautiful. but of coz they're tasty too. the salmon belly oh ooh hohohho.. and the salads.. the everything.. the cocktails.. =^.^=
I think many people are familiar with this drink, lychee martini, the very girl's drink.but its never bad to have a drink like tat at an afternoon birthday lunch. ( my aunts)
after that i had an amazing time going out with a guy friend i recently known. we did funny things together. we went to vivo city wanting to shop a bit, have dinner and watch a movie after that, but we had some trouble and only able to get a movie ticket at 9 + pm .so we ended up having looots of time to spare, during a smoke at the balcony at vivo and some crazy thinking, we saw some cable cars hanging over across from sentosa to the cable car centre, so we had this funny idea about taking a 2way ride on it. and not knowing how to go over to the building from vivo, we decided that a cab is the best solution for lost sheeps. but it was one hilarious ride... let me explain by drawing ....
yellow : a building that can be crossed vertically .
pink : destination
blue : starting point
green : grass patch
black : taxi path...
Get the idea? we took a cab , which cost $2.90 i think , just to take us over to the other side of the building when we could have just cross over.. i couldn't really stop laughing when i sat in the cab and realised our destination isn't out of our sight range before we even hop into the cab.
the cable car ride was reeeaaally fast i would say , i luv it on top. the air is nice the view is nice other then the speaker explaining things that i wouldn't really care about and the no smoking sign. i wish the ride could have been longer.. i just like the feeling of being in the air. although the cost of it is pretty much more then what i have expected , but its worth a try. and i kinda miss being in that lil cube thingy.. would have been nice if....... *secret secret secret secret* hee hee hee
so after the dissapointingly short cable car ride. we went back to vivo city, this time looking for crystal jade, we looked all over the place for it although i've been there once, and walk passed there 3 times on the same day. i still couldn't remember where exactly it is other then how it look like on the outside. that really shows i have zero sense of direction and it sarks.. but then i wasn't the only one with idiotic sense of directions.
after we found crystal jade, i was told there wasn't seats available.. these are the time when i wished my aunt were around to make sure we could get a seat anytime. but oh well... so we walked off without waiting coz some cow couldn't wait to eat =x. ended up in a nice looking german restaurant. we spent a BOMB there... lets skip on details of the food. but half of the bill are from red wines.. 5 glasses of red wine for 2 person which cost $8 each . that makes up $40 and the bill had a total of $86 or so..even when i was in melbourne i only had this kind of meal like once a month with my sis.
although this meal is a bomb. i've lost count of how much my friend ZG ( the guy in the pic) has spent on me from the past 2 days. so i decided i would pay for the meal. but ... maybe its just a natural thing that cow are stuborn creatures. he ended up paying for the meal.. which made me feel super duper very freaking guilty.. and thats not all. because i forget to bring my long sleeve thingy for the cold cinema. i was looking for a jacket to buy so i could use it and keep it since i don have any in my wardrobe too. i was looking towards the price range of $40-$50 in the normal woman's fashion thingy.. but that cow pulled me to the sports shop and just bought me a nike jacket that cost as much as the german dinner/meal on the spot and give it to me as a christmas present... he is a month early.. and i feel as guilty as hell.. until now i still feel damn guilty. just for that present , now i have trouble deciding what to give him for his christmas present.
he bought pop corns before the movie and we went in 10 mins late coz we got the time wrong.. the movie was kinda good. just somewhat depressing coz it seems that 80-90% of the good guys in the movie doesn't have a good ending. just one more funny thing is that. there is a hand from the right side of my face that appears once a while with pop corns and stuffing them into my mouth. and he seems to enjoy doing it. i feel like a lil baby being force to eat baby food haha. well not that its a bad thing.
then with his usual thinking , he sent me home again the must send girls back home thingy. sweet cow... but something came to my mind after that..i went thinking, why is it that the people who claims they luved me never do these sweet lil things for me. while a person i barely really know for long whom i shoot multiple combo of sarcasm at whenever i see him can treat me like a princess.. or some sort.. could anyone explain this or shuld i just conclude that the guys i've been with before are nothing but a bunch of arses... which smells like nothing in this world could give. and i am starting to meet nice and innocent people recently.
thats end of sunday...
monday is a work day and nothing good seems to happen yesterday.. in the morning i woke up with a coarse voice.. not sore throat.. just coarse voice and infinite coughs went to work and some stuff went on between the colleages there.. something bad of coz.. raining , bad sales at my job.. partially coz of my voice and cough.. it seems to scare the customer away or they just pity me. so they rather i talk less. i don't know which. but its not something good. after a whoel day of bad sales, i always look forward to walking home and rest my lil feet on my footstand in front of the sofa and type like this , but it was drizzling. so i walked home this way and when i reached home, i found out that my whole apartment building. all 8 floors of units is out of power.. people are repairing it. there's no lights. lift couldn't work . climbed the stairs up with the aid of one worker holding a torch light. go into my unit with no one inside. called ZG and talked till the power came back. but it wasn't for long till it went off again . and my computer gave me problems in between the power shut down. this is one whole paragraph of bad things within a day and i can't even be bothered to type it in detail since its nothing good.
amen
as for today , it was quite a tiring day coz i've been coughing whole day... and i resigned from my boss, will stop work on the 8th of dec. the working hours are simply too long and the pay is too lil.. even for someone without a cert like me.. i sms-ed him at 1st. coz i was kinda scared to just talk to him on the phone and say i wanna resign. he didn't have my number so after some confusion he called up the shop and the 1st thing he said is not some serious or unhappy sentence but " NI PI GU YANG AR!" ( ur arse itchy issit ) calling him would have been much convinient yet i chose to sms him , is what he meant. it was a funny reaction from him and i no longer feel the fear of announcing my resignation. so i just did wad i did and *phew* straight after that while i was doing the " body turn soft and jelly-like but relieved to be out of this shit" action to my colleage, another 2 fella came to visit me. both from the game water margin online, how nice of them , they invited me to a seoul garden dinner buffet, but i decided that with my cough like these. its gonna be a while before i can eat good food like those... >.< ouch... i miss a good dinner.. but oh well.. all for the better of my throat.
i wish tomorrow is a good day . my cough gone , ****** gone , and good sales waiting for me.
Sunday, November 26
today is a good day, work has been quite a smooth ride, although i have an angry colleage with me so i tried to do a bit of funny stuff to cheer her up.
there she is with a cheerful face coz her boyfriend made her day by fetching her from work on a rainy weather.lol
met up a bunch of peeps from wmo ( water margin online ) before i actually met them i tot i would be my usual shy self when i meet new people but no, everything is fine for some reason and i manage to be myself.. i guess its coz we all had quite a common topic, *water margin* what else. haha.
we met up and cineleisure and ended up walking all around orchard coz each of us have some preference to where we wanted to go. but we manage to finally stop at an ice cream stall and feed ourself some fattening drinks.. and of coz ice cream... maybe its b coz its the 1st time they met me, decided to "gimme some face" so no one objected when i suggested the ice cream stall. my feet were hurting , i just didn't say it out, i am glad no one objected to my suggestion, else i will cry my heart out coz i pity my feet too much , the tall tall heels are a pair of killers..
we didn't have enough after the drinks, so some of us decided to go for a movie, i was in mood for a horror show... can i skip the part where we go to different cinema coz we always weren't in time to get seats for the movie i wanted to watch . ( 9:56 ) after travelling by foot from theather to theather, i can't stand it anymore and finally made them flag a cab and head down to vivo for the movie, and we're in luck coz when we finally reach the ticket booth, the tickets were almost sold out. we're like the last few.. *phew*
after getting the tickets we had about an hour and i don know whats with this group of people they just luv to take photo. but thanx to that at least i have something to put up my blog haha. all text would be a boring blog right ? *agreed* from left to right. ZanGuo , Me , Chris . only 3 of us went for the movie, the rest headed home to continue their wmo journey.
those poor 2 guys, after the whole movie, they're so worn out but i suggested going for supper coz i was hungry, they had to oblige coz they pai seh to turn me down i think haha. fortune centre prata is the place to go at this hour without a car. so there we go, the 2 sweet guy sent me home after that, i hardly have guys sending me home, or maybe its just i don have too many guy friends. haha. i think the only good thing i said about them the whole night is sweet, and i only type in in my blog now, the rest is nothing but sword of sarcasm piercing thru their body the whole night.
in short. i had fun ^^
Friday, November 24
the swimming plans today went down to drain.. how sad.. stupid rain... stupid thunder.. stupid gray clouds... stupid wind... block out my sunny sunny day..
my cousin havent decided on her post O level present.. she was thinking of gerbils... well.... in my room... i don mind the smell nor the rat looking thingy.. as long as she change the saw dust.. often enough.. her 2nd choice is bicycle. i would have prefer to get her a bicycle.. at least it can be "cured" if it gets "sick" gerbils... lol... but i wonder how much would a bicycle cost... would u get a usable one at $150? would u ? would i ? i know nothing about getting a bicycle.. which is better etc... someone help me...
went steamboating today... $62 dollar for 4 person.. 2 glass of lemonade 6 cans of greentea and a can of herbal tea.
drinks x 9 = $9
child x 1 = $8
adult x 3 = $45
but all is worth it coz thats our lunch and dinner altogether.. we're too full to eat dinner.. so our dinner became dessert for the afternoon meal..
as usual.. just like how my college was surprised at the amount of food i can eat.. my cousins were surprised too... but wait till they see my elder sister's appetite.. it would be scarier.. she is about 1/3 times of my intake..but putting that aside.. i have been gaining weight lately and my friend's wedding is in 3 weeks time.. maybe its time to cut some weight and save some $$ ...
got to wake up early in the moooorning tml , never been an early type of bird and never will be... so tomorrow... =~~~~~~ work till 4pm , so swimming after that is out of the question , there wont be time for tanning.. *sigh*
by the way.. i dyed my hair orange.. took 2 boxes of hoyu dye to make it perfect... and did my brows... will take a photo of it when i feel like it.. lol.. too freakin tired today to upload any... not like anyone is interested anyway... or is there? O.O lol
if anything, i would be meeting an online friend of mine tomorrow, might, might not. depending on wads going on tomorrow.. a fella one year younger then me. always tio my sacarsm attacks. and has been my alarm clock ever since he himself started work... its not like i am bad either, i do give him occasional morning calls.. i hope tomorrow will be a good day.. a day where my working hours seems to fly, and a day where i will smile when i sleep at night..
today is a day full of heat and fun. the "ready for anything" day. as quoted from one of my cousins.
went swimming late morning.. yes.. again.. this time finally i had a bit of sunburn above my chest area.. and i kinda luv the sunglasses mark on my face though it looks kinda funny.. hhmm don think u can see it here since i had the sunglasses on , btw i just luv the sun glasses... been a long time since i got one anyway coz i always destroy them one way or another ... somehow... screws off.. broken frames... etc etc.. at least i manage to keep this safely for bout few days now already.. so been taking pic with this glasses on.. just so luv it...
After that me and 3 of my cousins went over to middle road and have a great lunch , 4 people 5 dishes with rice, been sometime ago since i had a meal like these and we're planning to go there again some other time, straight after lunch we head over to the supposedly famous "dou hua" thingy and had soya bean and "you tiao" oh man, they can really eat..but our stumach can't contain anymore after a while and wasted a pair of "you tiao" but one of my disgustingly humourous cousin talk about some "guy's equipment" thingy demonstrating it with the left over "you tiao" further spoiling our appetite, finally we couldn't stand it after many suggestion on places to go, we decided on cycling..
wad do u do when u're in group of four and unsure of how to go to a place in singapore.... i tell u what..
Step 1 : stand at the road side
Step 2 : raise one of your arms up parallel to the road
step 3 : wait for a cab to stop and hop on it.
and thats what we did...
we took a couple of photo here and there , even saw a sand castle somewhere along the bedok jetty and rental shop. i so wanted to put up the photo coz the sand castle was quite a sight. but well.. i look fat in the photo so decided not to put it up anyway... sue me.. tat yellow shirt thingy behind me is my cousin.. that thing can cycle well, always leaving me and her elder sister behind.. but still, i get to cycle faster towards the end.. getting use to it, and looking forward to another cycling trip.. would be fun . it seems i am starting to enjoy outdoor activities more and more lately.. although some can be quite costly...
*mac donald drinks and rest*
(boring lets skip it)
so there is already swimming , great lunch.. cycling... tiring day ... but halfway the mac donalds drink and rest session.. i remembered there is a bowling center next to it so....
i suggested going there.. 2 cousins totally agreed.. one reluctant.......ly..... followed us but in the end she did enjoy the bowling session although we had a few "long kang" incidents.. or maybe..many... but at least i get to see the many funny ways one person can release a bowling ball... even backwards... or the fly up and drop down method... it feels as if the lane might fall apart... but none of our scores are 3 digits.... is that sad or is that just sad...
talking about sad... i was told i look like an idian yesterday when i put up my tanning photo in msn display pic.. and today when i was returning home from bugis in the morning.. ( getting forgotten things in shop ) , an indian asked me for my number.. no offence its not like i hate indians... its more like even though i am a chinese myself, i hope i look like a jappo or a koreano. and i don't wan to look like westerners either.. so my reaction was "oh ok.. an indian just ask for my number.. like that lor..." this reaction stays for a few minutes until i remembered the " you look like an indian" thingy last night.. i feel a build up traumatizing feeling inside of me.. do i really look like an indian.. i start asking people if i really do look like an indian afterwards.. all of them said no... so why the...... blah blah...omg.....
okies, forget it. putting all the sadness behind.. tomorrow i still didn't need to go back to work . is it good or is it good.. it is good... i will go suntanning again.. shiok shiok. thats if my cousins are willing to go with me.. if not i will just stay and rot at home until one of my friends calls me and ask me out.. ta dah... rot at home.. so happening...

omg how come you're heeerree!! *excited look* (in your mind "oh bloody hell, i forgot her name, what she does for a living, where did i even met her.") familiar? yes i am sure everyone has once in their lifetime at least be in a situation like this before, if not.. its just a "yet" thingy.. and this happens to me... today , haha ok lets not go into detail, its boring...
so i was in the same ol shop today, at the counter wondering why there isn't much crowd, and till 12pm or 1pm, there isn't any sales made yet. then my aunt and my cute lil cousin ( her daughter ) appeared in front of my shop, it seems they had a hard time finding the shop, can tell when my cousin suddenly pointed and me and go " there there !!" i made my aunt buy 2 tops for another cousin and made the 1st sales of the day..
talking about work, other then the 1st 2 days of work, i haven't really think of the phrase "shi jian guo de hen kuai" before. but this 3 days, although i've been working full day. working with this college made me thinks time passes fast. i guess i enjoyed working with her. i can't even think of a reason why. but generally its been good.
there are only 2 bad thing today, one which happen during my working hour few mins before i can start to close the shop. well its a bit boring so i'll just skip it. the 2nd thing is ...
the steamboat which i had yesterday is finally taking its toll on me today.. i guess my appetite became big , and i got hungry very easily... bad news yeah? especially when its about 3 weeks to my friend's wedding. and i am the bridesmaid. i use to have this thing about " dress should fit the body.. not the other way round" but when it comes to a bridesmaid gown. i can't help to think vice versa.. it won't look as pretty anymore will it? if the dress is gonna fit me.. i think i will try my very freaking best to slim down within this 3 weeks... to fit into the dress. my close friends who knows me well enough are gonna laugh at me wearing a bridesmaid thingy.. so at least i guess, i wanna look a lil better in hope that i can shut their trap.
tomorrow and the next day i won't be working, oh hail to off days.. yeeeaaahh.. planning to go swimming and sun tanning again , so lets hope tomorrow is a bright and sunny day, the sunnier the better.. will luv luv luv luv it.. i will be religious for one day and pray to every god to let me have a sunny day just for the sake of tanning.. *rollseye*
Tuesday, November 21
well , so i've been going for swims and tans last week, all for the purpose of getting slimmer. at least look if not real. got a bit of sun burn on my face which i always look forward to ,yes thats right , i luv sunburns, more the better, and swim suit line on my body. not enough , but am going this thursday again , hopefully friday too.. the sunglasses is not even working well under the bright sunlight that day, i see the sky almost as clear wearing it compared to without wearing it. its just a cheapo sunglasses which my cousin help me get under my request at 77th street,no i am not a bully , i paid her. lol see the red-brown cheeks? i luv luv luv luv luv it. okies, why would i just suddenly mention about swimming , especially things that happen last week.?? uh huh... hhmmm u'll understand when u look at the next photo which took place today . that photo actually made me feel kinda guilty
Naaaah both of them aren't me , but they're my colleges and i am taking the photo, so tell me. will my few days of swimming make up for this indulgious steamboat? no no no . sad answer but true. I guess thats what it means by "the unwanted truth" had a really full meal, a dinner. omg.. i almost puke while walking back home , but this dinner is worth the time and $ . got lots of laughter and stuff.. been a long time i had steamboat too.. say bout 3 years? korean BBQ not counted ar. i had those in melbourne. anyway.. putting aside the inches that will be added to my waistline. steamboat ROX.
lets talk about work , yesterday i mentioned the scary thoughts of going to the office with the boss. our agreed time is 9 am , well not our agreed time but he asked me to be there at 9am, so i assume that his car will be there bout latest 9.05 at bugis mos burger.. i reached at 8 50 just in case there is a chance he might be earlier.. but at 9 15, i gave my boss a call ...
me : hello?
ben : ya
me : i am jacinth , i am at mos burger already...
ben : waaah u so early ar *2 seconds silence* or am i late?HUR HUR HUR HUR HUR
me : eeeh the time u said is 9 am right.. outside mos burger * dot dot dot feeling*
ben : ok ok i coming down now , wait for me ar...
Time he reached our meeting place - 0945
so including the reaching early time , i waited 55 minutes for him... minus 10 mins coz i was
the one who decided to be early.. 45 mins... for my own boss..
when his car arrive , he went " waaah y u *sah sah* de stand down there wait, should have gone in mac donalds and wait till i call u mar."
..................................... DOT DOT DOT DOT DOOOOTT .......................
i feel like strangling him , coz if i had been inside and his car arrived halfway i am eating , am i suppose to throw away the rest of my mac donalds breakfast. .. so i told him exactly this minus the part where i feel like strangling him..
other then this bad thingy.. i found out that my boss plays online games just like me , suddenly from the rank "boss" i had in mind , speedly demoted to "another online game player" short form = geek..for a while. i almost forgot he's a boss until he made me run up and down the stairs just to multitask and tells me he is just making his money worth.. true but he is one boss whom anyone would really feel like killing ... both in good and bad ways..
I have finally figured out how to actually do a proper blog using this kind of blogging websites. I used to have my own webspace linking my own links and such to make up a blog, but now, oh well... I wonder how long would this blog habit last. haha
Been working lately, Indoor sales, sales girl, fashion consultant, retail sales, whatever u call it. I wanted to try indoor sales initially, thought would be fun, I did outdoor sales before, never tried indoor, thought the ongoing music and under air conditioned environment would be a good relaxing type of place to work, but it didn't take long before i got sick of the on-going repeated music, and the bright spots light which hurts your eyes if you accidentally look directly into them. WORST of all, bad sales, it just feels terrible at the end of the day when you have to report individual sales. Its good if you can give them a nice fat figure, but I always give them a starving figure 28 out of 30 days. I am about to resign , due to the incapability of meeting their expectations of sales, and I have other plans for myself too, won't say anything about it yet, but you'll all see ^^ . Also the long working hours has forbid me to have much of my own free time to do occasional shopping and such , coz when I have off, my feet are always too sore to shop.
Next paragraph! no more work stuff. boring shits.. haha. so now.. I have been trying to get myself reeaaallly tanned or sunburned. I do realised that even though I am always the one who wanted to have a good tanned. its always my companion who luvs fair skin to the core that gets the tanning.. how unfair it is, they agree... so I have been swimming quite often lately, getting my hair condition fried as well. but what to do.. I just luvs the dark dark tanned skin. aaahhh
By the way , tommorrow is a scary day. The boss who have been telling me that I do bad sales. Ask me to wait for him at bugis so that he can pick me up to the main office. This "face the boss who thinks you do a bad job" thingy is really.. erm.... scary.... I've never been to the office there before, I hope nothing much happens, a good preview would be
Boss " You know how to use computer?"
Me " Yeah"
Boss " You know how to do photoshop?"
Me "yes"
These answers triggered his decision for my trip to office tommorrow , but guess what?
Photoshop? I only know the basics. real basics.. time to see me make a fool out of myself tomorrow. good luck to me ar...
