Sleepover

Met up with EeHui, WeiQi, DanQing, Daniel, XianWang and Jason last night. It has been a long six months since we last met. The guys look so much stronger and darker now. HeE~! We stayed overnight at EeHui's house. It was supposed to be a sleepover, but it turned into a mahjong session when XianWang started teaching us how to play. HaHa~! Jason and Daniel joined us later as they were caught up at the NDP rehearsal.

The guys were talking non-stop about their NS experience the whole night. XianWang was telling us how lost he felt when he was first released from Pulau Tekong. DanQing talks about his physically relaxing but metally taxing work at his camp. Jason demonstrated how the NPCC march. Daniel complained about his finger nails getting dirty because of the carbon under the suit he has to wear for chemical defence. HaHa~!

EeHui, WeiQi, DanQing and I did not sleep the whole night. We were rotating between Bridge, DaiDee and Mahjong. The attic turned into a gambling den after we arrive at the place. HaHa~!

Daniel was the first to hit the pillows. While he was sleeping, WeiQi took pictures of his sleeping postures. They were so funny we couldn't concentrate on playing our games. HaHa~! When he just arrive at EeHui's place, he said that he will be leaving earlier the next morning to see his friend off at the airport. As the four of us did not the sleep, we decided to give him a wake up call at 6AM. We shook him but he just ignored us and continued sleeping. After reminding him that his friend is leaving for Hong Kong this morning for studies and might not be coming back, he merely replied that he is not going and went back to sleep. We finally give up and continued with our games. At 745AM, we woke everyone up so that we can go out for breakfast together. Everyone woke up except for Daniel. This time, EeHui decided to use the alarm the police gave her to ward off perverts to wake him up. The alarm was too loud and we decided to switch it off. He woke up but fell back onto the sofa again after a while. WeiQi suddenly stood beside him with a bottle of vanilla coke, threatening to pour drink on him if he doesn't wake up within 3 counts. He woke up immediately. HaHa~! It was a hilarious scene.

We bidded EeHui's father goodbye and went to Clementi hawker centre for breakfast. We all sat around a small table and started talking again. After a while, we finally ordered our food. All of us had roti prata except for XianWang and Jason who had fried carrot cake instead. After breakfast, we stayed around for more army matters. We left at about 930AM 'coz I got to rush to work. All of us were so tired that we all fell asleep on the train ride home. Luckily WeiQi woke me up, otherwise I'd have slept past my stop. HeE~!

I missed them, lots. I must thank EeHui for organising this gathering. XianWang and I were pushing the responsibility to each other all the time and ended up doing nothing. SiGh~! With EeHui leaving for Australia to further her studies, I guess we won't be having any gathering anytime soon. =( *SoBz*

Music to the ears

Attended a product briefing by Sony Ericsson yesterday. It is on the K750i and the upcoming J300i. The presenter was holding a W800i, which attracted my attention.

Somy Ericsson W800i

It is orange in colour. One of my favourite colours. HeE~! The specifications is similar to K750i's. Although I have always liked my mobile phone to be simple, the various functions of this phone makes me want to buy it. It can play MP3 like a WalkMan, take pictures like a CyberShot and allow 3D gaming like a PSP. ArGh~! Temptations! Luckily it is not launched yet.

Going swimming with my family later in the afternoon. Haven't been swimming for ages. I wonder if I still remember how to swim. HaHa~!

EeHui SMS me yesterday. It is regarding our gathering this weekend. She was giving us some suggestions on what to do before/during our sleepover at her place. I have not replied her. Consulted DanQing yesterday, he too have no idea which to choose. He claims that he will go with the majority. If everyone thinks like him, the majority will be to go with the majority. SiGh~!

JobHop

The guys are staying with SingTel as permanent part time. I can't imagine myself staying there throughout my 3 years of studies. This place is too stressful for me. JiaRui was suggesting that we become part time waitress. I got sick of that job when I was in secondary school, so I suggested we become tutors instead. I think being a waitress is no difference from being a customer service officer. Tutoring will be a better choice, at least the time is more flexible.

JiaRui just told me she will be quitting either next week or on 10 July. SiGh~! Everyone is leaving, except for me. No choice, I need the money. The school fees is enough to crush me.

ZhiFa just gave me two numbers. One for job assignments, the other for tuition assignments. I think I will call the tuition agency tomorrow during my break to see if they can arrange something for me. The sooner I start, the sooner I can break away from SingTel.

I miss school.

School

YiPpEe! I am going back to school! HeE~! Just did the course registration this morning. The portal was down yesterday, so we had to wait till today to complete the registration. I had been trying since I reach the office this morning. I wasn't able to access until JiaMei tried and realised that the portal is up again. I quickly SMS JiaRui to get her to log in and register so that we can have the same time table. No reply from her. I decided to call her instead. She picked up the call with a low and sleepy tone. She was still in bed. When I told her the portal is up, she suddenly became very energetic. HaHa~! Not too long after we hang up, she SMS me to tell me that the software on her computer is not compaitable with the eCR, and she need me to register for her. I registered for her and confirmed the submission at the same time. No more changes. HeE~! Our time table is as follows:

Tuesday - FF-ECONS (Afternoon)
Wednesday - BB PBF (Afternoon)
Thurday - CC IBM (Morning)
Friday - EE STATS 1 & MATHS 1 (Morning)

Wanted to take POA in year one, but the classes are all full when we went in to register. Never mind, Daddy said he will tutor me for POA since he used to study accounting. HeE~!

Will be tendering my resignation in a month's time. This time, it is for real. I heard from JiaMei that there will be an exit interview. SiGh~! By the way, JiaMei tendered her resignation last Wednesday. This Wednesday will be her last day with us in SingTel. She found a new job with Timberland, which is paying her $1.5K every month. I am happy for her, but at the same time sad that she is leaving us so soon, sooner that I expected.

I am so sleepy. Haven't been sleeping well these few nights. Had been sleeping late and waking up early since last Friday. *YaWnZ* I need sleep. I shall sleep early tonight, so that I will have the energy to work OT this week. Gotta work more OT to earn more money for my school fees. It is burning a hole in my pocket. A big one. SiGh~!
