STRENGTH

to accept wad is to be shown to us..

yes..

so anyway..went out with fiony-pony and melia today..to celebrate her bdae..oh..b4 i 4get..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELIA!! =D

i guess it was quite fun..getting ourselves burnt in the hot afternoon sun while swimming..meeting fiony-pony for lunch and "ssss..."-ing while eating dynamite pizza...i swear..tt is the hottest thing i've ever eaten..it was fun watching each other gg "ssss.."..it was soo funny..ahaha..and having boney cake again was the best thing!! =D wanted to go for waffle aft tt at gelare but in the end...din go lah...too full..heh heh..then looking for earrings ( my new fave hobby) and a jacket for melia..ahah..hiaz...i guess it was a good day..blobs and sticks..i mean..stick..now tt valley ain't here...=( oh well..she is...in spirit..haha..

and yay! i'm tanned! as in..quite more obviously compared to the last entry i posted on swimming...oh well..2mr is a day of change..mum's starting new day at work..2mr 1st day of lent aka ash wednesday and results for me tt determine my fate..hopefully its a good day of change..BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!!! =S back to top?

WARNING..LONG ENTRY AHEAD ( but then again...wads new?)

1st march...

the day tt all a'level students of last year dread...

hiaz...of coz when i heard of it...i panicked..and panicked somemore...it doesn't show now coz...well...expanded all my energy tt night when i heard of it..prob start panicking on tues and wed again...like hyperventilating panic...all i can think now is..to hope for the best..

haha..well..went out yesterday with choir gang plus princess to celebrate melia's bdae..aahaha...ate at guess where?? NYDC!!! ahaha..yay!! finally got to try the oven bakes...3 amigos..and yea..it was GOOD....ahaha...and mudpie and boney cake...YUMYUMYUM!!! boney cake was GOOD...damn good..=D i felt soo happy eating it...esp aft all those times i'm serving it to the customer wondering how it tastes like...i finally get to try it...hahaha..i want more!!! BUT its an expensive affair..ahaha..so nvm...

so yes..aft tt walked ard...its kinda hard gg out in a big grp..in fact...the max is like 5..and all must have the same interests..or even better :all girls or guys who dun mind being led ard and gg into all the girl kinda shops...well...can't really be helped rite? like someone said yesterday :" guys dun window shop" haha..is it good or bad? i dunno..heres' the diff:

GUYS
-they see sth they like
-they touch it
-they try it
-if frens are ard..they possibly some out of the changing rm and ask for opinions
-the price is not bad
-they like it
-they buy it

The whole process takes...15 mins? yea...very fast..ahaha..

GIRLS
-they see sth they like
-they touch it
-they stare at it
-they wonder how it will look like on them
-they try it on
-they come out of the changing rm and ask all the girlfrens ard them how it looks

aft the comments..they parade abt in the room again and decide for themselves.. even if they look nice(or ok), sth will always be wrong..like a part of their body looks wrong in tt top/bottom(arms flabby? tummy pudgy-ness emphasised? legs look fat? neck looks short?blahblahblah)

-do they have anything to match it with in their closet?

they come out of the room and decide again...
-the price is ok but do they really need it?
-is the colour the right shade?
-is the cutting favourable?
-is there a cheaper alternative somewhere?
-what if i buy it and i dun like it later?
-how many tops/bottoms cam match this botoom /top?
-do i have shoes to go with it?
-do i have a bag to go with it?

then..some ppl..
1)hold it with them and continue looking ard the same shop,whether they buy it in the end is another story...
2) BUY it
3) leave it in the shop reluctantly,hoping tt no one buys it while you're still hunting for a cheaper or nicer one..

haha...the whole process..may take abt 15mins provided the person is a practical shopper like *yours truly*--> well..MOST of the time.. and max a whole day checking out ALL the shops b4 deciding to buy it..hahaha...WOMEN..

hahaa...i dunno abt the guys part...but i guess its safe to assume its abt as simple as tt...i mean..judging from how i've seen guys shop..some guys lah..you guys (i mean..gals too) can comment on my tag board if you disagree..ahaha..

so anyway..yesterday was kinda nice i guess..got the ppl to put a candle on melia's groovy goldmine and light it...and as the 9 of us sang happy bdae...the table of 12 behind joined in..ahaha...hope it was as a memorable bdae as i hoped it wld be melia..may and i had to come ut with extra cash just to tally the whole bill..everyone paid their share but somehow...still short of 6 bucks...haha..so yea...in case you ppl are wondering...this was the total bill of 10 ppl..$212.35..ahaha...i will nvr 4get tt number..and yes...sorry guys if aft tt you guys were bored as the gals went shopping at all the beads shops and shoe shops and clothes shops..ahaha..we window shop..ahah..wad can i say? =)

so yea...bought 3 new earrings today..red,green and black..and i think my right earhole is closing up again..the hole is small lah..hard time putting earrings in ..i put back my pierced earring ..back to wearing 2 diff studs...=D

nxt week...supposed to work 3 times..yay..ahaha...and tuition..so yea...actually when i called to check...the guy told me wed and thurs same as last week..i was like HUH?! wed cannot lah! got results..so then he called back later and told me he read the wrong week..so yea...ok..nth to write liao... back to top?

i'm getting OLD...

yes...i feel it in my arms...no not fingers..

...i feel it in my thighs..no not toes..

today was my day OFF...like really...ever since i finally finished with A's..ahaha..today was the ONLY day tt i actually got to do things the way I wanted them to be..

-no work..i woke up late
-mum din ask me to do any housework...
-watched tv till lunch
-moped the floor
-surfed net on uni courses
-watched whose line is it anyway videos on youtube.com
-read some pages of a book
-went for a swim

I WENT FOR A SWIM!!! FINALLY!!! ahaha..well..yea..its been a long time since i last did...and it shows...my arms are aching..i decided to go down coz well..i need a tan (tho not as badly as some others =P) and i thought since i'm alone and the sun looks soo nice..SWIMMING SOUNDS NICE!!! =D

so yea...went down to swim...as usual..at ard 4 sth to 5 sth there will always be a bunch of kids having swimming lessons by some coach..used to be one of them..but diff coach lah..and duh..all the kids are super tan..ahaha..reminds me of my sis and i when we were younger...so anyway..other than the kids...the pool was relatively empty...so i started off with 2 breaststrokes..gosh..i was panting by the end of the 2nd one lah..i was thinking to myself :" gosh..i'm old...and out of shape!!" i think the last time i swam like properly was like..sec 3 ( when i learnt of my back prob)

so anyway..i rested for a while..thinking maybe i was pushing myself too hard considering when was the time since i last swam..so i decided to slow down..haha..but the thing with swimming is tt...once you've got the momentum going...you can't stop!! no matter how much lactic acid is building up in you..i started my 3rd lap slower..but then i started to speed up and was getting tired again but just couldn't stop..ahaha...so yea...by the 4th..my arms were aching...as in the lower part ..you know the "flabby" part tt everyone complains abt? yea..tt part...so stretched and well..got a bit better..then finished up the rest of the laps...so tt was 14 laps for today..ahaha..i wanted to do more but considering tt i had work 2mr..i decided against it...can you imagine..with my arm aching..how am i supposed to carry plates and plates of oven baked and pizza for 4.5 hrs straight 2mr? hiaz..oh well..so yea..tts swimming today for you..

and yes...i realize..i tan easily..ahaha...just abt 45 mins in the sun..and mind you NOT afternoon sun..so its not burning hot...a nice warm hot..i'm already a shade darker well..its not obvious if you see me anytime soon..but if you compare it with the areas tt are covered and areas which are not..(ok..no..DON'T do tt..its just wrong) as in...I'M telling you tt when I compared it with the areas tt were covered and areas which were not ON MY BACK...can see the diff...the outline of my costume was quite obvious..ahaha..but this type of tan..sure will go away aft a while...

so yea..i got soo occupied in myself today tt i 4got to do a simple chore...COOK RICE..ahaha..so now evryone is waiting for the rice to be cooked so we can hve dinner...heh heh..work 2mr..plus tuition mind you...its revenge for my day at home..BUT HEY! who's complaining??!! ahah.. back to top?

hiaz...

just finished bathing aft coming back from tuition..

wad can i say? if you dun have patience and dun noe how to balance being firm yet accomodating..DUN EVEN consider teaching as a career..esp NOT to pri sch kids... hiaz..i'm still ok ...i guess coz i had expereince with a kid in my earlier years "teaching"..my sis..=S and i know how kids dread tuition coz...i was one of them..ahaha..know all the tricks these muchkins try to pull off..

so anyway...yep...NO WORK TODAY!!! WHEEE!!!! this week i'm only working on wed and thurs...tho thurs is night shift..oh well.. so wad did i do with my DAY-off? i say DAY coz well..i had tuition at night..i had a nice long luxurious sleep =) and i met mum for lunch..had buffet lunch and shopped a bit and well..came home..watched the pope john paul II vcd..its REALLY good...tho its like 3 cds long..its VERY good...not boring at all..to me lah..he's really a person we all ought to follow..as in his dedication.perserverance in wanting to change this world tt we live in into wad it is today..lending it to melia ...its really good...for those who want to know more abt our late pope...lemme know..i'll lend it to you..if its convenient enough..

no work again 2mr...hope NYDC doesn't try to call me again 2mr..they called me today...missed call..so i called back but the line was engaged...TWICE..and as my phillosphy :" if its urgent, they'll call back.." and also :" if God wants you to..he'll let you.." so yea...they din call back and i called back but both times it was engaged...so there you go...hope they're not trying to pull a prank on me like melia's place ..ok..not prank..but some rubbish nonsense to get you back to do last min work..coz its amazing how i can only do 2wice this week..but too bad! when i called...the guy told me only wed an thurs..and i said :" 2 times only ah?" and he said :" errr...*flipping of paper* yah.." so there you go...true to my conscience...=)

hiaz..still got some stuff to settle..gotta do it asap..i think my smses are gonna go sky high again this month...=S back to top?

ok dudes...

here's the link to the video where i recorded the song from...

enjoy...

http://www.youtube.com/?v=u_DrEBKcQyI

i wld like put the video here but...i dun wanna run the risk of getting caught..call me kiasi..but hey..you NEVER know.. back to top?

hahaha...presenting my most recent favourite hanson song...
but other than my biased choice in music and artist..the song is really very nice..just read the lyrics...its very meaningful..esp if sung to someone who means a lot to you..
i can't seem to find a non-live version on youtube.com...so i recorded it on my mp3..so if you wanna hear it..msg me online lah...i'll send it to you..they sung it acapella...so its really nice..the front part sounds a bit off and weird..think coz they cldn't concentrate with the fans screaming..the moment the fans went quite it sounded GOOD...haha..song sounds even nicer when heard and read with the lyrics..haha..indulge in the beautiful lyircs of the song..its amazing ppl can compose lyircs like tt..and nice tunes..

CHANGE IN MY LIFE--HANSON

Standing cold and scared on top of the hill
Then came the moment when I lost my will
I prayed for mercy, please don't take me away
Give me the sunshine when I only see rain
The past had a hold on me it can't be denied
And the changes didn't come easily

I've been lonely
I've been cheated
I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, put down, and told I'm no good
But with you I belong 'cause you helped me be strong
There's a change in my life since you came along

Now I don't mind working so hard every day ]
And I don't pay no mind to what people say ]
'Cause after all the pain I've been through ]
I give up everything just to love only you ] i TOTALLY love this whole verse..its soooo NICE!!
All my life I've held my head bent in shame ]
Now I found you and with you I've been made ]

I've been lonely
I've been cheated
I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, put down, and told I'm no good
But with you I belong 'cause you helped me be strong
There's a change in my life since you came along

Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong } dunno why..but this line appeals to me..nice..
And a heart gets weary when it doesn't belong
When the road gets rocky, you've got to keep on
Let the new light shining on through

I've been lonely
I've been cheated
I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up, put down, and told I'm no good
But with you I belong 'cause you helped me be strong
There's a change in my life since you came along back to top?

so yes...as i promised...more abt my tuition date last night..ahaha...

so yea..i walk all the way to kim tian rd, blk 119C which is a freaking long distance from my house but i dun really have any other choice...there is no bus tt i can take there and no bus to take back..as in direct enuff..if there were i wld prob have to travel thru bukit merah and redhill 1st b4 getting there...so it doesn't make sense...so WALK LOR!!!

so yes...i set off ...walking for 15 mins..hiaz...at a rather fast speed i might add..haha..and being on your feet the whole day at NYDC does NOT help too..ahaha..so yea i finally get there lah and tuition begins...i already wrote abt wad the mother said to me last night in the previous blog so ..ahaha..go read it there if you want lah...

so yes...tuition begins..i was determined to finish it on time this time unlike the 1st lesson we had on monday..i ended 20 mins later than the scheduled time coz the boy just cldn't focus and i didn't really plan my time oso...i mean i din noe wad to expect... so this time now tt i had an rough idea on the boy's character and concentration ability, i had a plan more or less as we went along...things were going fine...yesterday was english lesson..monday was maths...so yes..i made him read his textbook to me..and NO..its NO LONGER PETS COURSEBOOK..ahaha...i used to love tt man..always read in advance of the teacher or when i was bored waiting for the school bus with nothing to do..

SO ANYWAY..ahaha..yes i made him read..if i were a english teacher taking oral examinations ..i would have failed him or just pass...i dunno..i dun rmb reading like him in pri 2 ..i mean i stumbled over the occasional weird names and some tough words for a pri 2 kid but yea..everything else wld be more smooth sailing =S maybe coz i speak english at home and read only english books and er..went for speach and drama lessons as a kid??!! i dunno...possibly lah..so anyway..yea...had a tough time correcting him on how to pronounce "themselves" he pronounced it in the (pardon me) "cheena" way as "demsielves" ...ok...i can understand the "th" thing but wad abt the "selves" part??! how in the world does it become "sielves"? so this is how i corrected him :

me : selves
boy: sielves
me: selves
boy: sielves
me: themselves
boy: demsielves
me: OI! pronounce your "th"..and its selves..NOT sielves..
boy: (obviously tired,raises his voice) THemsielves
me: themselves
boy: THHHemsielves
me: .............ok...nvm...we'll work on it another time..

plus the kid gets restless easily...so gotta play some "games" as an incentive..they are soo easy to satisfy..i just told him "do this quickly..dun run ard then i'll play a game with you.."
he kept asking wad game it was but of coz i didn't tell him...if not the element of suspense wld be gone..so in the end..i cld only think of hangman..he never played it b4..so as i explained tt with each wrong word one stroke wld be drawn ..and he kept shrieking evrytime he got a word wrong..as in a excited shriek..ha..and i mean SHRIEK...and the occasional threat of telling his mum wld be the only effective remedy to get him to sit down..and he was really testing my patience yesterday..but i din blow lah..

so yes..and i nearly had to see his *ahem* yesterday can? ahhaha..i was trying to exlplain the meaning of regularly to him...so seeing tt he was quite tan (and rmbing how tan i used to be when i swam on a constant basis at his age) i used the example of swimming and how regularly he swims to achieve tt tan lah..then he said :" How you know i swim?" then i told him :" i used to be as tan as you..." then he said this :

"yah..my WHOLE body is tan except for my *TOOT!*.."

and as he said tt he was already like lowering the top part of his underwear..and well..i quickly looked away lah..hahahaa...i din see lah DUH! but its not like i never saw b4..ahaha..from my cousins when they were at his age too..they kinda like to "flaunt" it..ahaha..so yea..i din freak lah..but i just found it funny..ahaha..i was more of like a "okay..lets get back to work.." rather than an: "ooooooooooooook" yea...haha..maybe coz i was getting tired of his nonsense too lah..

then yea..he was really restless yesterday..he kept playing with his shirt..lifting it up and pulling it down constantly..sheesh man...i nearly wanted to just rip it off him so tt he wld have nth to play with..and he kept chewing on stuff land wanting to put this chain ard his wrist which was too small..and needed scotch tape..so he kept asking me to help him..of i course i did lah..as an incentive lor..so i was like :

" ok...you do 10 qns first..as in you SIT down and DO quietly.. then i help you.."

so he did and i helped him..kept coming off which was a good and bad thing..bad coz it got a bit irritating to keep helping him put..but if i were a pri 2 kid i wld be fascinated with things liddat too...so anyway..good coz it gave me more chances to offer incentives..ahaha...ok..tts abt my tuition last night..

i gotta go buy a grammer assesment book for him..he needs it and...i've got work at 6pm..gotta leave at 5pm or sth..ahaha..oh well.. back to top?

valentine's-shmaltentine's

seriously man...ahaha...its always this time of year tt i feel sad for not being attatched..ahaha..as in...not to have a chance to have ever gotten flowers from a guy..as in from a GUY..YOUR guy..ahaha..and never having a chance to.. well..so all those couple-ly things tt couples do..ha..every year i spend valentine's day with friends at sch or at least with my family...this year...i spent it with strangers...which just emphasised how lonely i was even more..=(

i had work at NYDC today..at 12am, so i left as usual..mentally prepared with regards to the kind of crowd we were gonna get today at the restaurant..seriously...i dread public holidays,friday nights,saturdays ,sundays and days like valentine's day...the crowd is usually..well..uncontrollable...its on days like these tt i realise how short-handed we really are tt i can't bear to bring myself 2 quit...ahaha...but actually i'm getting the hang of it lah..except for a few mistakes made today..=S

SO ANYWAY...yes...i arrive at my destination..go down the escalator and well..there is this couple behind me fiddling with some coupons...gee...lets guess where they're going?? NYDC LAH!!! hiaz...i was like...ok..at this point in time the restaurant is usually EMPTY so these 2 are gonna be our 1st customers for the day...true enuff when i get there..they're already seated and waiting for their food...ahahah...the 1st couple sighting for the day but DEFINITELY not the last...soon aft them..couple after couple started strewing in..well..lets just say there were more couples than usual today..DUH...

so anyway..not too bad the crowd..a lil more crowded than usual but not as unmanagable as last fri night..THAT was busy..=S so i screwed up a bit here and there..stupid granton coupons..gave customer wrong info abt the coupons --the 2 free appetizers one..apparently cldn't use tt coupon in addition to the 1 for 1 set coupon and by the time i realised and ran to kitchen to cancel,kitchen had already prepared it..cldn't cnacel it..so i was freaking out..I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY 10 BUCKS FOR 2 APPETIZERS!!! it wld be like treating tt couple to part of their valentine's day lunch..yes...COUPLE again..oh well..so one of the senior staff managed to clear it up and the customer was willing to pay for the 2 appetizers tt he ordered thru my mistake...HENG MAN!!! then the shift leader told me to go apologize to the customer..i did it with NO hesitation..DUDE!! that guy saved me 10 bucks lah!! wad a kind soul..ahaha..so i wen tot he guy to apologize and well...he and his gf were really nice..ahaha..they were smiling at me and saying :" oh no..its ok..=)" heng man!! ahahaha..i guess they din wanna spoil their day too lah..so PHEW!!!

so well..4.30 pm finally arrived...i walked happily out of NYDC AS USUAL =P changed and headed to the mrt for home..so well..YES i have to walk thru the long ,tiring passage of citylink mall everyday..but i've been doing it evryday tt it seems sooo short now..ahaha..as in..not THAT far lah..so anyway..the moment i enter citylink mall..signs of valentine's day were EVERYWHERE..no kidding..as in not LITERAL sign saying valentine's day but yea..couplescouplescouples EVRYWHERE!!! couple aft couple would walk past me ,holding hands,the girl happily carrying a bouquet of flowers or even just a stalk..and once in a while the guy carrying the girl's bag as she carried her flowers (tts one thing i CANNOT STAND!!) so anyway...yea..as i was listening to hanson(DUH!) and drinking my ritual drink from 7-11,i started to feel..well..out of place..everyone had partner and flowers or balloons...i mean..ok..to singles,we feel all disgusted and see no need for all this hype and OFFICIAL day to show the world tt "HEY! i've got a gf/bf and you DON'T!!" but then..sometimes i think its just us well..finding excuses for not being able to have tt special someone YET..so rather NOT FAST ENOUGH...i was starting to wonder as i walked down citylink mall:

" will i ever have the chance to be like one of them on valentine's day?"

hahaa..past years in school..in sec sch..my valentine's day pressies would be gg out ot all my good and close friends..so show them tt i love them ( and i still do =) )...same goes for JC..tt i treasure all of my friends..it was more like friendship day in sch...and if we went out aft sch on tt day..it wld just be a celebration of singlehood..which was nice to know tt you're not alone ahaha..but as i grow older and now tt i actually SEE couples ..no school mates to distract me..i really wonder ..don't you? =S 18 yrs being single..is it wrong? =S freak? non-freak? you decide...

ha...so i'm like all irrtated with this " love is in the air" thing thru citylink mall and also a weeny bit envious and teeny bit sad..i sms ppl valentine's day msgs..ahaha..so yea..i finally get home and i share with my mum wad i saw and well..she shares her's too..ahah..tt was quite fun..then soon..its time to leave to meet my date...yea..my tuition kid..pri 2 boy..haha..when i get to the house..the mum says in chinese :

"haiyoh..today is valentine's day then have tuition..ahaha."

i say:

"yah lor...nvm lah..i have a date with your son lor.."

ahaha..she laughs lah duh..ahaha...and the kid did some..well..STUFF during tuition but i'm tired of typing and i guess you're tired of reading if you have actually read THIS far..so yea..i'll continue 2mr..=)HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!! single or not! =D back to top?

I

AM

SCARED

results are out on friday..thats wad lots of ppl say..and i believe so too....

freak man....its TOOO soon...i haven't even gotten the chance to enjoy myself properly...NO PAY CHECK!!! yet...i can't even go out shopping happily and spend money...AHHHH!! and results are gonna be out soon ....SO SOON!!! i can't take this man...what if i dun do well??!!! wad the freak am i gonna do??!! ok...i know most ppl will state the obvious..repeat,go poly,redo on your own..DUH!! wad else can you do lah?! but hey...the fact is whether i am gonna have the courage to face the results...what am i REALLY gonna do? i really dun wanna noe how i'm gonna do...everyone usually does better than me..and its gonna hurt to know tt you worked soo hard for 2 whole yrs and not yield the result that reflects on the amt of work put in...i never thot tt i was smart or anything..so i dun expect to EXCEL..never did anyway...i just want a result that i deserve for my work..and hopefully tt result is a good one...or a satisfactory one..not a terrible one..

but this is singapore..its a harsh system...its a make or break kind of thing ya noe...it doesn't really help one's self-esteem esp when you progress up the education ladder...it just gets tougher and harder to excel as the competition you face just gets stronger and stronger ...and well..i really dunno wad to expect now..for A's..i dun even wanna say tt i want a A/B/C..coz i dun even noe how i'm gonna do...i dun have ANY idea wad to expect.. lets travel back to nov 2005..

CHEM: i was working for an A...but the paper did NOT feel like a A paper...not even a B paper...thats one A down the drain..it was the only chance i had at an A at A's...esp all tt "extra" training for chem ..sheesh man..all tt false hope..but i dun believe tt i will fail...or get E..so yea..NO IDEA...

BIO: ah...really dunno wad to expect at all..i found the paper OK...but everytime i feel the bio papers are OK..the results dun turn out THAT ok...=S but still relatively ok..

MATHS: can't evenrmb how it was now...i think it was ok...as in...ok abt C liddat...=S

GP: i think it was ok...quite managable...

AHHH!! ok..aside from A's lah huh... I GOT A TUITION JOB!!!! FINALLY LAH!!!! and its near my place...kim tian road...its like on the other side of TBP...yea...i live on the opp side of tbp..but its still near...teaching some pri 2 boy english and maths...the mother is chinese speaking!!! ahhhhh...how am i gonna communicate properly with her???!! oh well..she called me on the phone and i was already having difficulty communicating proprerly with her...oh well..we'll see how it goes...1/2 of my money goes to the tuition centre for the 1st month...i guess i dun mind since i dun really need to spend money travelling...its just walking up and down...so yay!!! probably will quit my NYDC job if i can't handle both..ahaha..

anyway..i start tuition 2mr...ahaha..830pm...i finish NYDC 2mr at 330pm..so yea...sufficient time to rest and all..good..anyway..tt day i did 12 to 1030 rmb? yea..it was TIRING!! night shift is NO joke...no wonder they needed me to do it badly..for the 1sttime i saw ppl queing to come in and in grps of 10 kind..and the WHOLE palce was filled to the brim...well..i got one more 6 to 1030 on wed...ahaha...oh well..we'll see if i live...

and before i 4get..hope you had a great bdae yesterday maylyn!!! ahahaha..thanks for the dinner and messing up your kitchen and forgive the mess we created form the cereal thing...ahaha..and thanks for the wheel of fortune game...i wanna dl it too!!! and i apologise if the grace i said last night was..pathetic..ahaha..nvr was good at it.. ahaha...gg for dinner soon later...ahaha...chap gor meh...ahhaah..15th day of cny..steamboat again..haha..oh well..and..i think i'm done blogging.. back to top?

goodness...

man...today was nth out of the ordinary really...except for the fact tt i nearly had to pay for 2 cups of coffee which i didn't even consume...ahaha..here's the story...

i took the the order for these 2 ladies..their food and all...so yea...i took and and left the order chit at the counter..same ols stuff...nth out of the ordinary...

so soon aft they finish their meal they call me again to take another order of their's..2 hot coffee..so yea..i take the order again..on another sheet of order chit of course leave it at the counter again..nth new again...

so then soon they call for their bill...so i go get them the bill and they pay and they leave...nth new again..

so all is well..nth gone wrong so far then suddenly the shift leader calls for me and asks me where those ppl had gone...so i try to recall and manage to identify the whole order...apparently...when the bill was given..the order for the 2 hot coffee was not taken into account...so actually those 2 ppl got free coffee lah basically...and also because i didn't put a STAR..gosh no one told me ok..i have been taking 2nd orders for sooo long and no one told me tt the 2nd order must draw a star instead of writing the number of ppl...so anyway...apparently...no star..they didn't really check oso..I didn't check oso..so the 2nd order chit went unnoticed until the 2 ppl left for at least 2hrs liao...

and aft she lectured me on the proper procedure of checking order chits upon payment..she called all the other trainees ( there were 4 of us today plus 1 senior ahaha...) and told them the same thing...apparently they didn't know too lah...SO HENG MAN!!! ahaha..the korean dude briefed all of us when we 1st started and he didn't mention tt to them too...ahaha..phew!

so yea...i was told i had to pay for the 2 hot coffee..i was hoping it wldn't be too much..aft the pepsi episode...i was prepared for the worst...i was expecting maybe abt 6 bucks or sth..i mean it was NORMAL HOT COFFEE..so i ask..and it costs $9.10..my heart sank..tts like..2 hrs worth of work gone down the drain just like that ...and so i was prepared to pay...and she told me to pay just b4 i left...so yea..i spent the last 1 hr moping ard,depressed tt i have to pay for 2 cups of coffee..2 hrs of work to pay for 2 simple cups of hot coffee...i'm really starting to treasure the value of money..and the need to work hard and get a good job...so anyway..4.30 soon came and i was ready to part with my 2 hrs worth of work money...so i approach her and say tt i'm ready to pay..haha..then she said in chinese:

"nvm lah...since its your 1st time...i'll pay on your behalf..but next time cannot ah...better make sure you rmb ah.."

HENG MAN!!!! 2hrs worth of work money SAVED!!! i was sooo relieved..so i thanked her loads..ahahaa...and left...heng man..

ryan cabrera hosts this show on mtv for..well..dating DUH like i just said...2 girls/guys battle it out for a date with this girl/guy lah..they battle it out by composing a song using the 4 words specified by the girl/guy and they have abt 6hrs? yes...to compose the song and the lyrics and all from scratch...then they sing it and the guy/girl doesn't get to see them but can hear them, then they choose their fave lor...the fave wins...and so wad does ryan do exactly? he and his band help compose and supply the music...its freaking cool..the band is DAMN good...i mean...DUH they have to be..but they are really good..ahaha..and ryan ...man...the way he plays and holds the guitar...goodness...its such a firm,passionate way yet music manages to flow out of it...its THAT cool..

CASE 1
this lady comes in with her fren..both abt 40plus 50?yea...anyway..they come and the lady calls me to take thier order...so when i get there..she opens the menu and points and says

" i would like 1 espresso and 1 cappucino"

and closes it..so i confirm the order with her again and leave it to the cold counter to prepare the drink...so when the drink is done...one of the other waiters serve the espresso and cappucino on my behalf coz i was busy with sth else..clearing plates i think..then there is a commotion..ahaha..ok lah...not soo serious lah..so anyway...i was called back to her table to solve the problem..apparently she said she DID'NT order a espresso..then she said this to me

"sorry ah...i dunno how to drink YOUR this type of espresso..the type of espresso i want is the normal hot coffee..not this type.."

ok...if you're saying maybe she didn't know what was an espresso..i'm telling you..there is NO way in the world there wld have been an indication tt she DIDN't know wad espresso was...so there wld have been NO chance in the world tt i wld have even thot of explaining it or clarifying it with her..she POINTED and said with conviction " i want 1 espresso...."and wads with MY type of espresso can? espresso is espresso..got no my type and your type..and you wld expect ppl who work ard the outlet i'm at to have an idea of wad epsresso is rite? =S

and PLUS..maybe the description on the menu is a bit misleading? i dunno..i dunno wads written there...possibly "very concentrated black coffee " or sth liddat tt led her to think tt it was just NORMAL hot coffee..BUT HEY!!! wldn't it have occured to you tt there is hot coffee written on the menu too?? shldn't tt ring some sirens and bells?? hiaz...i came home told my mum and well..she told her fren and all..ahaha..and all they cld say was :" auntie trying to act high class lah.." ahahaha...possibly..and the thing abt service industry...CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT..so aft got her order changed still have to say sorry...so yea..i mean..i acknowledge tt maybe i had some fault tho i dunno where but for ppl who are SUPER upright and upholding justice type...no way is waitressing/waiter-ing your job..ahahah..

haha..i took the iq test charmaine sent me...ahaha...i dunno whether its accurate or not lah...i scored high for ALL the 8 scales can? as in..more than 50% is high already lah..but i dun really care if its accurate or not...i leave tt to all of you to decide...i'm posting it up coz...it makes me feel good abt myself...ahahaha...BEHOLD!!! my results...

Your IQ score is 109.
This means that you are smarter than 72.0% of all other Super IQ test takers.This number is the result of a scientifically-tested formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on the Tickle Super IQ Test.But there's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score, or a single label.
--> i'm smarter than 72% of the takers??!! whoa man..the rest must be really dumb can? ahaha..

Tickle uses 8 distinguishable dimensions of intelligence in the Super IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those 8 scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information, and which intellectual strengths you're best at.

Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you a Linguistic Architect.You are brilliant with language and words. You are also very skilled at understanding things on an abstract or conceptual level. When you combine those two skills you are bound to communicate or create something new and complex. --> i'm BRILLIANT with lang?? then why din i score an A1 for eng at O's? A2 can oso lah huh? ahaha...

This set of strengths (referred to as 'abstract reasoning,' meaning you have a flair for the intangible, intellectual, theoretical approach to life) allows you to understand math and science on a 'gut' level, even if the actual numerical math and science equations don't come easy. This gut-level understanding is typically enough to get you through without needing all of the details. You would probably do well as a writer of some kind or an author whose job it is to get difficult concepts across skillfully.-->writer??!! whoa man..and i have "gut" feelings for math?? man...then why did i even bother studying then? ahaha..

Here's an example of your Linguistic Architect thinking skills at work in a real-life situation:

You are with a couple — two friends of yours — who are having an argument. While listening to their discussion, you realize that they are both saying the same thing, only in different ways. So you interrupt the argument to ask whether you can try to articulate their opinions. When you state their opinions you use wording that you know both of them can understand. You also reword statements they've made so that they can both see that they're actually on the same wavelength. You watch their faces relax as they realize that they are actually seeing eye-to-eye on the topic. They go about the remainder of the day without arguing further on the matter and are, of course, grateful for your insight. ---> now THIS IS FREAKING TRUE..i have NO doubts abt this...val or fio can testify this..ahaha...

they had some bar chart with all the results lah..but i cldn't copy tt chart...so here are the results briefly..

As you can see, your top scores are in the areas of Mechanical, Verbal, and Organizational. This is a very unusual combination — only 6 in 1,000 people have it. Want more proof? Then pay attention to the percentages of people who scored higher and lower than you on each of the 8 intellectual strengths. --> DAMN I'M SMART!! ahaha..

You scored 98 out of 100. Mechanical ability is what helps you understand how machines and tools work. Someone with a good amount of mechanical ability probably has an innate understanding of physics. High mechanical skill is also associated with a high degree of precision and practical thinking. --> PHYSICS??!! now THAT is just weird..

Your verbal ability score is 96 out of 100. Verbal ability means having an expansive range of vocabulary, being able to use it, and feeling a desire to add to it. It is also what allows you to comprehend the relationships and subtle difference between words.--> expensive range? you have got to be kidding me...maybe the subtle diff part lah..but nah...

Your organizational ability score is 88 out of 100. Organizational ability is what allows you to organize and arrange information effectively, be precise, and proofread carefully.--> maybe lah..

Your scored 82 out of 100. Logical ability is what you use when determining whether or not something makes sense. You rely on logic when analyzing an argument, step-by-step. This ability also contributes to your aptitude for recognizing underlying patterns.-->true..i think..

You scored 82 out of 100. You use spatial ability to judge the relationship between objects and physical space, like a parked car and the width of the road. It is also what helps you visualize a room when you are decorating or rearranging furniture.--> possibly true..

Your score is 66 out of 100. Visual ability allows you to accurately visualize all aspects of an object for the purposes of recreating it, the way painters do. It's also what you use to imagine a scene from a novel or a story someone tells you — the ability to accurately reproduce reality in the mind's eye.

Your score is 54 out of 100. With abstract reasoning you can think on multiple levels and see relationships between ideas that are not easily apparent. When you're using your abstract reasoning skills, you draw on both external logical and creative sources of information to come up with your solution.

ways to increase your iq..ahaha.. check it out..

Get more oxygen to your brain. You'll be able to think more clearly. To do this, go for a walk, or simply take deep, long breaths. Practicing yoga is also good. Some even claim you can get more oxygen by swimming underwater, and holding your breath for longer and longer periods of time. This increases the amount of oxygen in your brain and will allow you to focus better on the test.


Take time to relax. If you feel anxious, you'll probably make more mistakes. Practice peaceful visualization, imagining scenes that are calming to you. Meditate or do whatever it is you know calms you down, before taking the test.


Listen to Mozart. It may sound like a stretch, but some researchers have found that listening to Mozart actually increases your spatial IQ. They call it the Mozart Effect and believe that the music stabilizes the neural connections necessary for spatial-temporal abilities


Practice, practice, practice. Take a range of different types of IQ tests. The greater the range of problems, the more ready you'll be to tackle the unexpected on a new IQ test. Why not take Tickle's Ultimate IQ test, if you haven't already.

ahaha...go do it if you have the time...it doesn't take long...and DON'T use the calculator...and lemme noe your results..ahaha..wanna see if everyone is high or not..aahaha... back to top?
