UNDER MY NOSE

Sunday, April 27, 2008

First and foremost a happy 19th birthday to me.
They say you can feel this weird feeling on your birthday
at the time you were born.
I was born at 8pm.
All I felt was a very bad stomachache.
That lead to the big business in the toilet.
Anyways, I got a couple of people to thank.
(In no particular order)

Lufang
Ameer
Anwar
Joan Marie Ann Paul
Zuhairi
Saiful
Celine
IS
Aizat
Nia
Ilah
Ain
Yani
Shar
Jehan
Udi
Raymond
Ivan
James
Syak
Shikin(Global)
Mom
Siblings
Lay Hwa
Peilin
Leonard
Bebah
Anom
Samantha
Elyana
Nisa
Siti Nurindu
and apologies for those not mentioned.

My birthday was well spent with my colleagues from Global
Celine got me a chocolate truffle cake from Royal
and we had the mini-celebration cum gathering at this
'restaurant' called Fig and Olive.
One word of advice.
Never eat there.
Waste of stomach space,
Waste of time
and money.
Anyways it was Ivan's generous treat.
So a big THANKS to him too.
Raymond,James,Lufang and Chris( I think)
was there too.
This gathering was supposedly Celine's farewell
dinner or some sort so I apologise to her
if my birthday kinda stole the attention! Hehe.
Photos will be up soon!

Thank you guys!
I'm glad I received more greetings rather than presents
cause if I did receive a present,
I must do the same for that particular person (:
Hahahahaha.
I am sincerely grateful for all the wishes and sweet messages.
Once again, thank you.

my FINAL choice : ??

Oh another hectic day @ work.
I'm so darn tired.
I'm still on trial and tomorrow
is going to be the day I'll decide whether
I want to sign the contract to work till
end of May.
My current pay is only 7.30 per hour.
So me and Lufang is fighting with the Boss
to get it to 7.50.
Other than that, another issue would be the
workload.
You see, we are temporary replacements for
this 2 full-timers who can't work.
One has resigned.
The other got into an accident.
Due to our weekend job knowledge, we were
selected to take over their job for weekdays too.
The thing is, this is a very very difficult job.
It takes months to pick up and cope.
As for us, mostly me.
We have to learn it in a matter of days.
Furthermore, this job is the MAIN contributing factor
in Global Airfreight.
If I screw up, that's it-
So therefore we deserve a higher pay
and also if one of us takes off,
the other will suffer.
Now how could I let Lulu suffer?

-work aside-

Another problem.
I have heard of not so good reviews of MDIS.
That really worries me.
My mom is persuading me to join La Salle
for Graphic Design.
If I'm taking La Salle,
I have to start picking up the pieces.
Remember my Nanyang Academy For Arts(NAFA) situation
whereby I got a successful application there back in 2006?
And my parents totally REJECTED it even after they've agreed.
That really ended my paper and pencil days.
It totally wiped me dry of inspiration and my creativity.
I'm really unsure whether I can do it again.
I know the talent is there but how do I own it back?
The worst thing is, I have till end of Thursday to decide.
Mom said " It's easy, just take a pencil and start scribbling!".
I no longer have the confidence to even finish a drawing.
Drawing was my life back then but not now.
I have concentrated too much in getting into Business
studying and all.
I am sad to admit that I'm going to be just a regular
dude who just clocks in and out of work using a punch card
doing normal office jobs and earning a respectable amount.

So, MDIS or LaSalle?
Hais, I'm in a great dilemma.
Effy you really gotta think fast and settle this.

Another thing,
my other problem is Dad.
To add on to that,
I'm not the only one having problems with him.
He better be prepared.

NUMB

It takes quite some time for me to recover
from a wound
and at times, it leaves a scar.
The scar will always be there and reminds
me of the pain I went through
but it this is too much.
I can honestly say I am not surprised
to how numb I've become now towards
the mistakes you TWO have done.

---on a side note
my fellow P.O.G and friends,
next week onwards I'll be busy working.
I'm able to take off either on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Other than that,
I finish work at 6pm daily.
So if you guys still wanna hang out,
you guys got my number.
-
-
-
Anyways, I will sign up for mdis this week.
Hopefully no other troubles will pop up.
I can seriously confirm that I'm in pure bad luck.

Brother.

My brother came back just now to pick up some clothes.
He never comes home anymore.
He is currently staying at my aunt's
which I am totally against it.
His presence is no longer here,
in this house.
The house has quiet down tremendously.
It's been months since he came back.
Even my mom has given up hope
but the blame is on her though.
If she would be much more patient on him,
things would not have to end this way.

To mom:
He is never gonna be like everyone else
with his condition,
you have to accept the fact that
he is not like everyone else.
You have to learn that
you cannot treat him like everyone else
because he is truly different.
No matter how much you try to treat him normally,
it would only make him hate you.
So mom, now you see what you've done?

and to my bro,
what's with that MAT hair?
Seriously I do not like that on you.

Weekends.

Had an uncommon weekend.
Saturday after work, Lufang and I
joined Kannika for dinner at Beach Road.
AS USUAL--->NASI AYAM PENYET
Lufang and I had 2 roundS!
It has been a long while since we ate it.
And I totally missed it.
The chicken looked aneroxic though that day.
There was more of bones than meat
and yea Ika brought us around beach road.
We went to Golden Mile Mall.
That place is totally Thai populated.
HAhaha.. I can totally blend.
Everyone seems to be staring at Lufang.
She seems so out of place there! hehe.
We hang out at the 'beach' after that.
It was more of a giant longkang.
We had normal chitchats and some amazing discoveries.
All I wanna say IKA good luck in TP!
Don't be so nervous okay.
I ended waiting for an hour for my bus.
Ended up reaching home 2 hours later.
--SUNDAY--
Celine came to work!
She does not need to work on Sundays
but came over to join us.
She even brought us breakfast and made us lunch.
We had muffins and cake for breakfast
and the scrumptious UDON!
Yes Celine, its scrumptious, not setrumtes.
She made udon and it was my first.
I must say it's very nice. :)
I love food : )
Anyways sadly, she's leaving Global on the end of April.
Just when we finally got to know her better.
April 26th will be the last day with her
and rumors that IVAN(my generous) boss
would be giving all of us a treat!!
I love fooood : )
Happy water festival to the Thais!
By the way, ADULT FARES ARE KILLING ME!

Rare glimpse of Lufang doin housework!

New Chapters

It has been quite a busy week.
Was all over Singapore with Eric, LuFang and Ameer.
Doing the appeals and all.
---->Appeals aside,
Eric decided to work till NAVY instead.
So today, Yazid, Eric and I went for
JOB HUNTING>
That bai backed out last minute.
We started out with Bugis
but headed to LaSalle instead cause Yazid
need to clear his doubts bout NS and School.
He might probably join Lasalle if he could still defer.
I might too but it's pretty expensive don't you think?
Anyways, back to the JOBHUNTING>
Eric got a job a Baleno or probably Samuel&Kevin.
So ERic-ish, I know. Haha.
As for MR BOB, he might be working for a club.
Not sure which one but most probably MOS.
His reason to work there: Wanna experience night life.
Well, it's not all glamorous you know.
(Told you to work night shifts, still the same ma -.-)
and it was my first time being in Clark Quay!
I never saw pubs and clubs over there before.
IT was fascinating, the culture and the atmosphere.
I am claustrophobic though,
So I don't like crowds and such.
I was gasping for air and almost drown in heat.
Oh yea, we watched Shutters.
Stupid remake but it was nice watching with a cat
and a foreigner. Hehe.
All this hunting made me so tired.
I have the urge to look for a job too
but I still wanna study.
(only now than you wanna study Effy)
All this made me realise that everyone
is starting to build their own lives.
As for me, I'm still kinda lost.
Which path should I follow?
I'm not sure.

Better In Time

-Better in Time-

Moved on.
Sadness and disappointment asides,
I'm alright now, will be better in time to come.
Enough about results.
Hahaha the only thing that could keep me calm is of course,
FISHES!!
I went on fish splurge once I got my pay.
I seriously need it.
Crazy, I know.
I bought a hyper-blue lobster
and please do not ask me whether it is edible.
YES it is and no I will not fry it nor dip in wasabe.
(I bought a lobster and an 4 albino paradise fish)
.
.
.
.
I'm so envious that you guys made it,
So proud of you guys.
You guys really deserve it!
Make lots of friends but don't forget your old ones.
: )

Time is running out.

Truly depressing.
Can blame no one but myself.

A day like no other, just less boring.

A day like no other, just less boring.

It's April already.
Results are coming out tomorrow if I'm not wrong.
I'm very nervous though.
I have no idea how Lufang handled it.
"Results coming out, so?"
quoted from what she said a few days ago.
She is really fearless.
Sometimes to the point whereby
that 'heck care' attitude comes out.
As for my case,
I know I did well but it would not be enough
as my 2nd semester was terrible.
If only I could turn back time.
You see, that was the semester that I was so
involved in work that I totally ignored the fact
that I had school, good health and my friends.
IT was quite a time whereby food and even electricity
was a scarce.
I wouldn't wanna live that moment again.
Waking up in the morning with candles and stuff.
Vintage I know but seriously it was not fun.
Some of my fishes even died because of it.
I remember 6 of my expensive and beautiful
fishes of mine died that night when the electricity got
cut off.
I was sitting next to the tank doing manual 'oxygen-ing'
It was really really bad time.
That was when my studies totally when down drastically.
IF it was not for that day,
I would have gotten myself a gpa of 3 effortlessly
but I know I can only blame myself.
I could have battled the odds
but succumbed to it instead.
Anyways,
HAPPY APRIL FOOL guys!
and that post IS NOT A JOKE!
serious.
