Agency told me to start work today and while on the way there this morning, i took out the contract ( yes, i have to sign this legally binding contract when i'm just 19 and working for 6 weeks ) to make sure i didn't miss out on anything and immediately, something strikes me. It states on the contract that my employment period starts on the 5th of Sept and today's the 4th. I thought it's some typo error and i called the agency but to no avail. So i figured that maybe i should just go to the office since i'm already nearing. So i reached rather early, much more than my likings, and sat in the lobby for a while before the agency finally called back. Indeed, damn that girl, work only commence for me tomorrow. What else can i do then to head on home, again. I seriously don't think waking up at 6 in the morning and having dressed up to the nines only to be told to go home is funny. Neither do i think being involved in this individual dress rehearsal is necessary. Anyway, shalln't complain much for at least i get to rest for one more day and get the news that work starts at 9 instead of 8.30! Haha.

Lately, one of my idol, Katharine McPhee, has taken a series of photoshoot and most of her photos are simply breath-taking. I really like the one she took for InStyle magazine cause it's really really cool!

Lastly, Carrie Underwood's sophomore studio album, Carnival Ride, following her majorly successful debut album "Some Hearts", is set to be released October 23! This country superstar is set to break records again, with her new single So Small setting country radio stations on fire! Her first album went on to sell sextuple platinum, making her the highest selling idol ever, slightly outselling my favourite idol, Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Here is the album cover!

I'm not really liking this cover but who cares! As long as the songs are great, it's worth buying!

Interview this morning couldn't get any worse but somehow, they still decide to employ me. Haha, pure luck i guess. And i ain't really looking forward to it for the briefing has already killed some brain cells. Having to work OT till midnight at certain days is such a turn off. I'm sure the next few weeks or so, i will most probably call all the friends to have a little whining session. Anyway, met Diana after the interview to do some shopping but for reason unknown, nothing seems to catch our eyes. Everything just seems so dull and boring today. I guess it's our hormones. Haha. So to make us more happy, we went to AjiTei to have their desserts. The sugar sure works rather well!

This dessert, which i can't remember its name, is really really good and left both of us wanting for more.

To describe today’s mood as happy is an understatement. Truth is, I had a blast! First of all, met up with Liyi and HuiYing this morning for some sushi! I’ve been craving for it like crazy, to the extent that I salivate every time I think about it, ever since the exam period and they’re nice enough to accompany me and thus, we head off to Cineleisure’s Suki Sushi for their lunch buffet. I seriously think buffet is good for me in some way other than putting my weight in jeopardy cause I’ll eat like a glutton till I am sick to the stomach and I assure you that no one would catch me eating sushi anytime soon for the next 3 months or so. Anyway, I had a really great time catching up with these 2 crazy-yet-entertaining friends and we sure left with a satisfied stomach! After that, went to Bugis for some retail therapy before heading home around evening time. Next semester is going to be hectic and crazy, which makes it rather hard to meet up but I’m glad both of you managed to come out today! Seriously, one wouldn’t feel bored when you have these 2 clowns cum gossip monger around. Of course, I must be a nosey parker myself to enjoy their company! Haha. Anyway, here are some snapshots taken today. Below is a picture of me and my nanny for i'll always throw everything i bring inside her bag every time we meet. Hehe. Thanks!


One would have thought that scallop with cheese would taste heavenly but the answer can be seen from my face in the next picture, taken by Liyi.
It seriously tastes awful. Like crap, to put across nicely.Taken by a bored HuiYing, hahaha!

Last but not least, Ms Ng Liyi's candid shot! Hahaha! I know Liyi is going to slaughter me like a poultry after reading this for she told me before hand not to post this picture. But somehow or rather, when i look at this picture, i can't help but remember what she did while having the buffet. She tooks plates after plates of cream puff just because it's nice and she eat till she's so sick of it right now.

After bidding farewell to the 2, I went on to plaza to meet my favorite babe, Lee Lian!! Ran some errand before we had our “bubble-tea date”. This is a tradition practiced only by the 2 of us and it has been non-existent during the past few months for everyone is busy with their own stuff and I’m glad we get this opportunity to have a proper chat-session with a simple cup of drink. It has been long and therefore, we have never ending things to update each other on – from the relevant to the complete irrelevant and from the important to things that aren’t really our business. I, too, simply enjoy Lian’s company for she knows how to make me laugh like a hysterical kuku-head at times. Had a fantastic day with the friends and I simply couldn’t contain my joy when I was walking home as a smirk is plastered on the face. Though I’m zonked out at the end of the day, it’s still worthwhile for I get to spend some quality time with the people who play a really important role in my life. I simply love all my friends and family and I can’t imagine who I would have turned out to be if not for their love. And when I say love, I mean it in a sense as those between SpongeBob and Patrick and not those of Romeo and Juliet, for those who still retain the mentality of a 5th grader. Lastly, I’m still missing the other 3 friends! There’s a job interview on Monday and I’m damn nervous for I am in desperate need of a job!

Stinky Lian! Haha, i'm just kidding. She's damn healthy for she met me immediately after her run. And she don't stink, i swear. Hahahaha.

Love! More pictures will be up once this durian sends me the picture.

Met up with SOCK for lunch cum shopping yesterday. It has been eons since i last met up with her and this get together definitely made up for the few months which we've been MIA in each other's life. 7 years of friendship says it all. We don't sms nor call each other on every other day but the bond we have is there. She has my back and for sure i'll always be there for hers'. Lunch at Terra, as recommended by her, and the baked rice we had was rather good. It's gonna be tougher to meet up once her attachment commence but i'm sure we'll manage another meet up somehow. It's always good to have meet up with the people of my life.

I seriously have absolutely no idea what i want to blog about since life has been pretty much as interesting as watching a turtle crawl. Something i heard a few days ago makes my heart melt. I'm not sure about other people's life but love and affection are seldom heard of in my family, especially the older generation, where they show their care for each other deep in the heart. Life hasn't been particularly fair to grandma as of late but she has got the sweetest brother i got to say. Granduncle visited grandma last week, gave her a hug and told her that he will stood by her and not let anyone bully her. Upon his words, tears rolled down grandma's eyes. He even paid to bring grandma to visit their hometown in China next week. I just feel so happy for Grandma because she's a tough cookie and she totally deserves all the love in this world. I think the relationship between her and granduncle is what we call true siblings love. This story never fails to give me goosebump each time i think about it because this is something very hard to ask for from the older, traditional and conservative generation. I don't particularly like to share about what goes on in the family because it's not at all glamorous to share such stuff publicly but i simply need to share this because it's just so sweet and simple. Don't we all just crave for simplicity, with a little love from the friends and family and not much of complexity to give us a heart attack. I don't really have a clear definition of what simplicity really means but all i know is that life is always good when we were young. We have our neighbours and siblings or even stranger's kids to play with and it doesn't matter what we're playing because it's always fun. But as we grow old and as the society changes, life is all about acceptance. And people change, as do i. In the quest of acceptance and "fame", we have people who would resort to defaming others or betraying themselves by being who they're not. It's sick. I'm not implying that i'm all perfect and naive because i'm not. I grow, i learn from mistakes and i change. People like it and people don't. But at least i am, or think i am, seeking acceptance from people whom i genuinely cares for and i do not step across the line that spells poser with a capital P.

The post exam mood has finally sunk in and i'm prepared to laze off the couch during the weekend. Hahaha, hopefully not much lard would be pile on to the bursting waistline. The last paper was alright i guess but if careless mistake hadn't found me this morning, i could've feel much better now. I told a few friends to study that and i memorized like nuts and i even told myself when i first saw the question that i knew the answer to it. Who knows, silly me, did part one of the question and left that part blank unknowingly. I even have some spare time to double check my work, to make things worse. I didn't realize my mistake until after the papers was collected, when i was relieved that luckily i sent YiShi the mindmap cause it's tested, before it struck me that i actually didn't do that question. Nothing i do now can salvage anything so if there's anyone to blame, it can only be me, my brain and my eyes. Just hope the loss of marks wouldn't really affect the grade. I don't really want to think to all the grades i might be receiving because maybe due to my laziness, the papers are rather tough that i don't even have any motivation of predict what kind of grade to get anymore. On a brighter note, i am free to go out now! I miss the friends terribly.

Yesterday, while on the way to school for the paper, i have the honour of being in the same bus with the biggest inconsiderate asshole in the world. You know how a lot of people like to study for their papers while on the way to school for their paper? And being on bus 75, almost everyone on board is NP students having a paper that morning and almost all are busy looking down at their "bible". So this schmuck board the bus and stood directly in front of me ( i was sitting at the middle seat of the last row ) and coincidentally, his friends were sitting at the seats directly beside him. And he seems to have a voice projector in his vocal cords because it's as loud an out-of-tune trumpet. He goes about yakking how the past year paper is tougher to how great it is to have an open book test and he begins talking about the authors of different chinese books! Well, he and his friends are chinese studies students if i'm not wrong but seriously! CONGRATULATION ON HAVING OPEN BOOK EXAM! WooHoo! Okay, now please shut the trap up and let us study in peace! I know it's public transport but at least have the decency to keep your volume down, as what we're taught! Everytime i try to remember something related to Compensation, his voice could be heard and all i can think of is "Dai AiLing (one of the author)" and her books because he can't freaking stop talking about it.

A couple of weeks ago, Carrie Underwood's debut single off her soon-to-be-released second studio album was released to country radio station all across the US and it breaks a whole lot of record, continuing the success off her mega-selling debut album. "So Small" is a song that sings about how we often waste our time magnifying little issues of our life when there are plenty more to life than that. The lyrics is just simply as inspiring as those of her idol, country diva Martina McBride, and the tune somewhat reminds me of Rascal Flatts. Here are the lyrics!

What you got if you aint got love?

The kind that you just wanna give away

It's okay to open up

Go ahead and let the light shine through

I know it's hard on a rainy day

You wanna shut the world out

And just be left alone

Don't run out on your faith

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

What you've been out there searching for forever,

Is in your hands

When you figure out love is all that matters, after all

It sure makes everything else

Seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside

A problem that seems so big, at the time

It's like a river that's so wide

It swallows you whole

While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change

And worryin' about all the wrong things

Time's flying by, moving so fast

You better make it count, cause you can't get it back

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

What you've been out there searchin for forever

Is in your hands

Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else

Seem so small

Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand

What you've been out there searchin for forever

Is in your hands

Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all

It sure makes everything else

Oh it sure makes eveyrthing else

Seem so small
