Busy,,, busy ... am always busy...

Hectic start to another week, this morning started out slow ... then progresses on to a faster pace work schedule. 2 more pending orders to add on to the list, just the thought of it makes me frown. Thankfully, I managed to get some filing done today ... but still, tomorrow I need to go in early again =_= cause I still had some documents to sort and certain accessories to take ... Sian, dun wanna think about it liao. Am currently waiting patiently and earnestly for XH to give me a call to update me about her interview at the Quek Industrial Building today :P She says she will call me tonight one, so I am patiently waiting for her ^_^ Today's pay-day!!! Wee! hm..m.. 13 days already earned what I would earn while working 1 month with AZ on part-time basis ^_^ Happy, but still am tired from the workload ... Oh, did I ever mentioned about me dreading Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays?! Dreaded Mondays - because of Monday's Blues ... Wednesday, because of school at night and I would ...

Stress! and more Stress!!!

Today's 2nd day of my work without CianYin to guide me, and it already makes me wanna find a corner and hide while tearing out my eyes. Absolutely stressful, if I really had to find something to describe it. Especially, today ... Had went in at 8.22 due to my inability to finish the invoice and delivery orders yesterday evening. Then I knock off only at 6pm after I finished the invoice needed to be issued out tomorrow. Lucky, I managed to clear out the majority of the stuff today... I'm only left with the door knobs which I had yet to pack, most probably I'll go in earlier tomorrow to pack it. Then I'll need to note down the number of things which I need to do stock adjustments for, and hopefully tomorrow won't be as busy as today ... Else, I don't think I can survive it, my energy is running on low and my 'tank' is half-empty already. I'm all the more looking forward to this upcoming friday, for its' a public holiday and that I can finally ju...

Finally getting adjusted to the job & getting a little nolgastic

Right, my 1st week came to an end today. ^_^ So far so good, managed to learn most if not all of the things that Cian Yin used to be doing. Except that I still had no ideas on how to take orders. Am still getting used to memorizing the code for the product. Buying lunch wise its' so far alright, today's my first day buying lunch for everyone due to the fact that CianYin and Debbie had something to discuss. But the thought of buying lunch makes me feel sian, cause dunno wat to buy sometimes. Starting next week, I'm on my own. Hope that I won't make any big mistakes, this week I had made a few slight minor mistakes on my part =_= Am getting used to making phone calls to clients already, especially to teachers ... I find that I love Sat the most, cause it has the shortest working hours ever :P P.S. Aside from getting adjusted to my new working environment, I found that I'm getting a little nolgastic about my past working environment, as well as the good old schoolin...

brief entry on 1st day of work

okay, so today's my first day of work. Nothing much, just getting trained and getting used to the working environment down there. Apparently, I'm employed to take over Cian Yin. She's guiding me now, as her last day of work is this sat. After which, I will be taking over all her job scope. That includes, generating invoice, delivery order, data entry on other things, topping up of water, ordering of cartridges/toners, arranging deliveries and buying lunch for those whom are staying in the office. A little overwhelming, but not exactly disoriented. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, shall update again soon. Cya!

Finally found a job !

Yes, I found a job ... after about 18 job applications, 7 interviews ... I finally managed to get a job! Wee!!! Hurray! So, I got the position of Admin Assistant at Ying Kwang Acrylics Trading. Its' a 5.5 work week job, 8.45am to 5.30pm for Mon to Fri, and 8.45am to 2pm on a Saturday. The salary offered is about 1360, which is within the range of what I've been expecting. Annual leave of 7 days, with 1 day extra for every year that I work for them. I can only start clearing leave after completion of 1 year. Before that, Should I intend to take any days off it would be considered as no-pay leave. I'll be starting work on 17 May, :) Attire is casual, which is good :P Then again, cause we are not using the office upstairs, and instead would be working downstairs together with the fabrication department ... there would be no air-con, only got fans. Well, I'll just treat it as though I am back to school working in the school D&T workshop :P Environment is fine, a l...

Still on the Interview Issue ...

hm...m... am still jobless at the moment, hopefully that will change soon. =_= Went for 3 more interviews since the KKH and SPF thing. First being the Gleam Consulting, didn't know how they got to know the fact that I am looking for a job and called me down for interview. I am almost certain that I did not apply to that position of their company. They are an employment agency looking for recruiters. If I say 'OK' on the spot, most likely I'll be holding a job liao. They explained to me all the job scope and the benefits of their staff, but I say I want to consider first cause I myself think I am not cut out to be a recruiter, but more of a candidate to an employment agency. =_= 2nd interview is for Systmz Pte Ltd at Joo Koon. They say will notify me of the result in a week, till now no news so most likely - its' a gone case. Very Ulu area, no food center in sight =_=. today's interview is at Setsco Pte Ltd in Teban Garden Crescent, also kind of Ulu. Have...

SHE Concert & job interviews thingy ...

15 April, went for the SPF interview which I had been short-listed for. Can't remember much details liao, only that I feel as though I was going for an audition. =_= There's about 6 ppl (all heads of department) in the room where the interview was being held. Not hoping much for the job though, seems rather hard to get as there's quite a number of potential candidate that came for the interview. Also, there's the fact that I think I did not leave them with quite a good impression. Was kind of tongue-tied and panicky when the interview was going on. Well, shrugs ... they says if there's any news they'll notify me in 2 weeks time ... see how lah, by end of the month no news then I can forget about the SPF thing liao. 17 April, went for SHE concert. Eve came over to my apartment block downstairs and fetch me, then we went to Bugis Junction to have dinner at Seoul Garden. After that, Eve drove us to the Indoor Stadium for the SHE concert. The concert was great, alt...

BLPS Class 6/4 (1999) 1st Reunion!

Had a fun time last night, meeting up with classmates about 11 years ago!!! Woah! Time do passes by in a flash of light, although not everyone turned up for the dinner and its' like only 8 ppl including the teacher Mr. Kamarudin himself. It has been an eventful day. we chatted and have dinner, then Mr. Kamarudin went on to tell his life story (sort of like incredibles tales). Ended the gathering about 12 am, woah! Lucky Alfred got car, then he send us all back home - namely those in Jurong areas. XD Thanks Alfred! You are the best!!! Hopefully, the next gathering we could see more ppl joining us eh?! XD

Some updates on the week

First off, Exams status... One down and two more to go. Took the Financial Strategy paper yesterday, and all I can say now is to hope that the teacher will take pity on me and let me passed. Given up on 1 questions worth 20 marks, cause I had no idea what the heck it was asking, the remaining 80 marks, I could only hoped for the best T.T I did study, but end up coming out 3 topics which I did not make it a point to study, cause I don't understand a single bit out of the text =_= Now, I have 2 more papers to prepare for. Financial Management and Business Information System, I'm gonna start revising for it in a while's time. In the meantime, I just wanted to get something off my chest. Send out about 6 job applications over the past month, and finally I received another call from the SPF calling me down to interview ... Wee!!! Okay, happy enough but still the venue for the interview is at Novena. When I first saw the email notifying me of the details of the interview, I was g...

Heaven played a joke on me too T.T

April Fool - literally is a day whereby everyone get fooled. Here I thought, my last day of work is finally here. Then at about 10 am, Jamie told me the bad news of the books being stuck at the Singapore Cargo and will only be here on Saturday. Shit! There goes another day of my freedom, here I was hoping that I could finally have the time to study. now its' one more day more of work, and one lesser day to study T.T That's not the end of it, then boss says he 'okay-ed' too much food fair venue that he failed to take into consideration of manpower shortage. Since Jamie have to be away, and the new girl had no idea what to do with the Weekly fixed order, I have to go back on the 10th of April to work another day. That will then be my official last day =_= Well, now I could only hoped my exams I'll be able to clear through them without anymore failures as I really do not wish to retake anymore modules T.T

Mid-week update, sorta...

Dunno what to say, seems like my desktop is no longer agreeing with me. I think there's something wrong with the power cord of the desktop. cause the CPU is no longer working regardless of what I do with it. Henceforth, I'm down to using my laptop. Luckily, my internet connection is not affected despite the failure in my desktop operations. Went to watch Yona Yona Penguin today at PS with xinhui. Then make a trip down to ginza outlet ... received a call from Jamie asking me to extend my last working day by 1 day. so my last day would be 1 of April, April's fool day. I dun think I am used to my laptop screen and keyboard at this point of time, my eyes hurt from staring at the screen and my fingers do not type that well on the laptop keyboard then my desktop ones. =_= Nonetheless, I have to make do. I think that's all for now, shall blog again next time.

Rainy Day and Gloomy Mood

Its' a raining sat morning, I specifically told my mom to drag me out of bed before she left for work this morning. Reason, I dun wanna be late for work and I had several things to do before work today. 1. Have to go bank in money for the shop, bank at Jurong West Blk 502. Operated until 11.30am only, so I have to go early. Hoping to reach by 10.30am. Therefore, I needed to wake up latest by 9am. 2. Collect HK comics at Boon Lay. I just realized I forgot to take the book which belong to Boon Lay home yesterday. It just slipped from my mind, I guess. Nvm ... Jamie can delivered it next wed. I'll either sweep & mop the floor today or tomorrow, probably tomorrow as I intend to finish up my majority of the paperwork today. Shilin coming in at 5pm, I hope I can finish as much as possible before she came in and distracted me from doing so. 3. Lethargic day this has been thus far. As its' raining, the weather makes me wanna lie still on my bed and not moving a single inch. T...

Mid-week update

Today is a quiet day, why? cause lil' bro is off to work at tuas as a packer ^^;; finally no one to ask me go around buying things for them liao XD This is a very sian week ^^;; cause this weekend Jamie is off at food fair, so no choice lor. Me have to cover her days ... The thought of Shilin would be coming over on friday and saturday makes me feel complicated. Part of it was 'fine' with the arrangement cause that means if I get too bored I can have someone to talk to, another part of me was dreading the arrangement cause she's one very long winded person whom would question the same thing over and over again. So what did I do up till now? 15 Mar - Work lor, what else. Finally met the son of Mr.Ong, who's taking over the finance part. 16 Mar - Met up with Jing over at Ginza. Didn't borrow books that day, only Jing did. cause I still have loads of bks at home. Got back my Hana book 4 from Jing. We both top up 30 bucks, and get double the amt XD but that's af...

Theory Exam and Shopping Spee at Bugis!!!

Went for theory exam Grade 3 at SMU - school of business this morning. Despite trying to be on time, I'm still late for 10 minutes. Luckily, I can still finish the paper on time. You know what's the most embarrassing thing for me today at the exam venue? Thing is, cause I'm late I've got no time to set my phone to silent before entering the exam hall. Imagine my horror when my mobile phone signal an incoming sms message while I'm on the verge of starting the paper ... Damn paiseh man! Anyway, the paper finished at 11.30am ... and since I had about 2 hrs to spare. I walked down to Bugis Junction, at first I took the wrong turn and nearly ended up at orchard instead. So I have to U-turn, and change direction =_= Since I didn't have time for breakfast this morning, I went to Jco Donuts and have some donuts before meeting up with my pals. Funny thing, there's no plate ... okay fine, I'm alright with the box. Then most ridiculously, there's no tissu...

Jing's Last Day & Natsunoki AGM

Okay, so what's up with me today? First, the gals and I meet up at shuhua place this afternoon to discuss about the booth thingy taking place on 27 Mar. Also to confirm the timing to meet them next week, on 13 Mar at bugis after my theory exam. Right, and I owe Evelyn $5.25 for the mcdonald delivery this afternoon. Also, I had yet to pay the $11.70 to Natsu for the tee-shirt which I took a few weeks ago. Its' decided that I'll be paying for the receipt/cash sale book using what I owe Natsu. The remaining I'll transfer to Natsu afterwards. Right, so in the late afternoon ... I traveled down to Ginza AZ to have fun with Biyu and Jing cause' its' Jing last day working at AZ. Bought a cake at Oiishi Bakery - which Jing and I share cost to celebrate her last day of work. ^__^ Return Biyu book 1 of No Hero, and borrowed book 2 of 'Legend of Sun Knight' from her. Although, I haven't even finish book 1 yet :P I'm booked up for the rest of March, so most...

Shopping Trip to JP and some thoughts...

Okay, my mood is kind of messed up right now. A little grumpy but not exactly unhappy or mad. Just grouchy and grumpy, dunno whether it has anything to do with my menstrual cycle or what. Anyway, just feeling moody lah! This morning, Irene (Ex-schoolmate) canceled out on me. That's fine, cause our lunch appointment was kind of arrange at a very last minute too. Anyway, no harm done in her canceling out on me. I have other plans in mind also, just a matter of executing them earlier or later only. Since Irene canceled our lunch meeting, I went directly to Ginza outlet. Before that, went to West Coast Plaza to buy sushi for Jing and myself. To which, have to remind her to pay me for the sushi this sat. Right, so far so good ... nothing much though I'm a little frustrated by all the noises produced by the nearby renovation work of the coffee shop next door. I left Ginza at about 5pm, then traveled by MRT train to JP to meet up with Shu Hua and Xinhui. Went for dinner at Peppe...

March has finally comes around...

Seems like March - April is a busy month for me. Majority of my saturdays in March are booked up, that reminded me that I desperately need to save up money to return my Mom. Hopefully, when I get a new job my financial ability would be better and more stable. I think I'll leave my last 50 bucks of my Red Packets collected in the new year for 27 March purposes. Who knows what Shuhua and Eve wanna eat that day for lunch/dinner. Speaking of which, I need to check my bank balance later and see how much money I've got left that I'll be able to touch. Need to survive next 2 weeks on them, until I get my pay check for the month of Feb. I wonder how much I'll be able to earn in the month of March, as the pay is what that's gonna make me through the month of April. April is a month that's full of Examinations for me, so I really needed the time to study. Maybe I should go around hunting and see where would be a good place for me to concentrate on my studies? I know...

Change Layout again

Apparently, I've changed my layout again. Getting back to the basic ^_^ Anyway, Stress is the understatement for this month. With Jamie frequently being away, I'll have to take over the majority of the ordering which I find it extremely stressful. I'm looking forward to the end of March, since I'll be switching to an office job by then. Jing is leaving on 6 of March, I'll be buying a cake over to AZ Ginza then to have a farewell party for her that day :P Biyu will be joining us ^_^ Let's all look forward to the future meeting up following her departure ^_^ See whether its' once a week, or once a month :) Jamie says between Biyu, Jing and myself we could form a group of three musketeers. 三剑客 Following end of March, I've decided that I'll be frequenting Jurong AZ on Friday and AZ Clementi on Saturday. Cause Sat is when BiYu will be there :P That is, if nothing crops up at the last minute. :) There's so many books for me to read over the weekend tha...

Impending and Upcoming Departure...

One of my colleague is leaving the company soon, I myself on the other hand would be leaving by end of March too. Although, I'll be leaving AZ ... I'll still be frequenting both the Jurong and Clementi outlet on regular basis. Probably once a week? Friday to Jurong, and Sat to Ginza? Who knows, see how then lor :P I've started to apply for new job liao, though I made it a point to state my date of availability to be after 17 April. Speaking of which, Eve is treating all of us to SHE concert at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 17 April ^_^ Yay! Banzai! Hurray! for Eve! Although, I wonder why though? Got bonus ah?! Now I hope that I would be able to get through my re-exam for Financial Strategy and Business Information System module. Dun wanna remodule liao, =_= Flunk PM again, so have to extend the month of graduation by another 3 months liao cause gotta remodule... T.T Xinhui just dropped by my place to pass me her financial strategy and business information systems notes. ...
