Fest

Went to the Creatives Fest yesterday to get the speakers and the earphones. Spent a lot yesterday. Gotta work more OT now. SiGh~!

Keith was there too. He gave me a fright. He tapped me on the shoulder and when I turn around, no one was there. It is nice to see him again. It has been some time since I last saw him. He will be going to Thailand soon. According to him, it is for good, though he will be back for occasional visits.

No more off day for me till 7 June. *YaWnZ* My dark eye rings are getting darker. Soon I'll look like a panda. *IrEnE sHaKeS hEr HeAd HaRd* No, I better sleep early tonight.

SiangPing SMS me a few days ago. She asked if she could come to my house and talk to my parents about her products. I did not agree to her request 'coz I don't even see my parents, sometimes few days in a row. Then, she asked if I can introduce any relatives to her. I told her frankly that I don't even approach my relatives though I myself is in MLM. When it comes to money, it is better not to involve relatives. After that, I never hear from her anymore.

I seriously need to tidy my room before school starts. It looks as if a cyclone just swept by.

I am looking forward to the start of the school term. This is the first time I felt this way. Maybe it is 'coz I hate working for SingTel. Anyway, I am preparing to quit. Most likely end of July. HaHa~!

Strapped

My heart aches. I snapped my dear Zen Micro's earphone's wire yesterday. SiGh~! I gotta get a replacement. Lucky there is fest at Creative this weekend. Though there is a fest, it will still cost me $35 to get a new pair of earphones. I am gonna get red colour to match my Zen Micro this time. Will be getting the matching red speakers too. There are great offers for members. Actually wanted to get the pouch as well but can't now since I gotta get new earphones.

Finally met Pauline and RouShen yesterday. We actually arranged to meet at my office but they took the wrong route and ended up in Hougang. Initially, they told me they were in Hougang Mall, so I asked a lot of people and finally managed to reach Hougang Mall at 9PM. When I was there, I tried to locate them. It took us another half an hour to realise that they are not at Hougang Mall but at Hougang Point. I had to take a bus back to Ang Mo Kio to meet them. As if that is not bad enough for me, my handphone's battery went empty and I can't contact them at all since I can't remember any of their numbers. After pacing up and down Ang Mo Kio MRT serveral times, I finally saw them running towards me at 10PM. We walked around Ang Mo Kio for a while and decided to head back to the MRT at 10.30PM 'coz all the shops were already closed by that time. They accompanied me to Admiralty MRT and took the train back to Yishun from there. I am so touched! HeE~!

I am so tired now. Only reached home at 11PM last night. After I finish washing up and eating my dinner/supper, it was already 12AM. I woke up at 6.30AM this morning. *YaWnZ* I am not in the mood for work.

JiaRui went to SIM to make payment this morning. I hate to say this, but I should be going to SIM for the same purpose soon. HaI~!

Decisions

Daddy rejected my proposal, so we will be travelling on the company package. Flight details will be as follow:

05 Aug SIN/DPS SQ146-1640/1910
08 Aug SIN/DPS SQ143-1305/1535

05 Aug is a Friday. I wonder how are we gonna make it to the airport on time given my sis' lessons will only end at 2PM on that day. To make matters worse, River Valley High School is in Commonwealth. I guess she'll have to miss lessons then, but what do we write in the excuse letter? We'll think about it later.

Today is 22 May. I still have not receive anything from NTU and SMU, and I need to reply SIM by 31 May. SiGh~! Though I am slowly losing hope, I do not want to reply SIM before I receive a reply from NTU and SMU. I don't want to regret making the wrong decision.

EeHui just SMS me this morning. She is organising a T108 gathering. I feel bad. XianWang kept asking me to organise one but I never had the time to do so. I hope the attendance will be better this time. It is always the same old people attending the gatherings. SiGh~!

XiangHong's birthday is coming soon. Still thinking what to get for her. I just SMS Pauline regarding that. I have yet to receive a reply from her. Hopefully she will reply before I spend all my money. HaHa~!

OG is having a sale from 20 May to 23 May. Might be going down to take a look later today or maybe tomorrow.

My computer is back, but the front USB ports are not fixed. SiGh~! The repairman just changed the whole motherboard. Now I got to reinstall all my programmes again. I am getting sick of this. With so many things to pay for, I wonder when can I get a new PC.

Denpasar

Daddy's company is sponsoring a trip to Bali for him and mommy. I am still trying to convince daddy to let me book 2 tickets for sis and myself, separately. I do not want to travel in the company package. The company package will include lodging but I think we can save on that if we bunk in with my parents since the deluxe suite is so spacious. More savings means more shopping trips for me. HeE~! Another reason will be because I am paying for my own trip. SiGh~!

I was only 7 years old the last time I was in Bali. It's been a long 12 years. My sis was only 6 months old. She wasn't there the last time we went. This will be the first time she is visiting the place. I am sure she is as excited as I was 12 years ago. Poor sis had to stay with my aunt when we were enjoying ourselves. HaHa~!

I went to JB on Tuesday, my off day after 2 weeks of non-stop work. We went to the VIVA office at Taman Molek and was fined for parking without displaying parking coupons. The parking attendants came in a group so we couldn't escape. But, guess what? There was a 30% discount on the parking fine. HaHa~! After paying the fine, we went shopping at Jusco. I love shopping at Jusco 'coz the things there are so much cheaper than other shopping centres. We went to my cousin's house to see baby Phillip later in the evening. He has grown so much bigger now. He is so adorable I am actually reluctant to let go of him. HaHa~!

I am working OT almost every other day. SiGh~! I am very tired, but I need the money. SIM just replied to my application to the University of London external programme. I've been accepted and I am required to pay S$4K upon acceptance.

NTU and SMU have not reply me, and I have to accept SIM beore 31st May 2005. SiGh~!

*YaWnZ*

Just came back home after visiting SiangPing at her office. Didn't stay there for long 'coz mommy was rushing me to go home for dinner. Anyway, I wasn't quite happy to stay there either. I was told that it is just an introduction of the job, but it turned out to be an interview in disguise. I was given a form to fill up, which SiangPing claims is for her boss to "know me better". After filling up the form, I noticed that there is a section on the reverse page for me to sign and declare that all the information I had given is true. I was lucky they were having a meeting when I was there, so I wasn't interviewed afterall.

Actually, I wanted to partner SiangPing, but I just can't bring myself to do it after learning about the products they sell. True enough, the incentives are appealing, but the sales volume is just too difficult to maintain. The company sells sleeping products, such as pillows and comforters. I was informed by SiangPing that their products come in sets with prices starting from $1000 onwards. I was thinking, even if I manage to sell in the first month, I won't be able to maintain the same sales volume the following month unless those who purchased the products refer new customers to me, because people don't change new pillows and comforters every other month. Take myself as an example, I've used my pillow for more than 6 years and I am still using it because I am already used to it, and it is still in good condition. You change my pillow today and I will lose my sleep for a month. Then, I will blame the pillow for my insomnia.

I feel like quitting my job now. Though the pay is OK, the work is not. I am so stresed till I give wrong advices to customers. I can't think clearly now. Everytime I go to work, I look forward to knocking off. I get a terrible headache whenever I am at work. SiGh~! I don't like the job, but I got to hold on to it 'coz I need the money. I envy those who have left. Joan will be leaving on Sunday. I am happy for her. I want to tender my resignation, but I haven't save enough. How many times have I said that? I don't know. The only thing I know is I am still stuck with this sick job.

I want to get a new job somewhere else, but it is not easy to find one nowadays. Especially one which offers more than $7/Hr, and work during office hours. SiGh~!

I haven't had a day of rest since last Tuesday. Had been working OT on my rest days. I will also be doing OT tomorrow and on Sunday. I am so tired.
