never in a million years.
Honestly, sometimes I think my mum has freaking damn bloody stupid suggestions.
Mummy: Are you enjoying yourself at StarHub?
Me: Okay okay la.
Mummy: Enjoy the pay right?
Me: Duh.
Mummy: Then you wanna consider continuing there if your results not good not? I totally wth-ed. Seriously?!?!?
There's no way I'm gonna freaking throw my future away. If the results aren't desirable, there's always smth called retaking. Even if I cannot take it as a school candidate, there's the option of private.
Working straightaway is definitely a NO. Gosh, who on earth put that stupid idea into your head?
Yes, I know you didn't approve my decision to take the JC route 2 years ago cause you claimed I wasn't study material. I bet you're waiting for March to come where your point can be proven. Irregardless of what March may bring, I'm not gonna let what you say deter me , I'm not gonna let your words coax me into making stupid decisions that I might regret many years later.Labels: freak; but thats life

when the skies cry.
 Work today totally sucked.
As a result, I hardly touched my newly assigned cases.
Oh wells.
I'm glad I'm off tmr, I need a break. And I'm meeting Constance! :D
I really hope pay comes in tmr instead of on Thursday, I feel like shopping tmr! Teehee.
Shopping - best remedy to a sucky day (Y)Labels: its a good day.

make a wish.
I realized that it doesn't take a grandiose celebration to make someone happy.
Cause at the end of the day, its the thought that counts (:
Jasmine and Jia Han surprised me at my void deck with KOI! :D
They bought KOI after school and delivered it to me! <3
Received a slice of cake and a whispered version of Happy Birthday at the Call Centre from the work mates, I was honestly damn touched.
Plus most of the calls I made today went unanswered, and my colleagues were saying its a good thing cause it lowers the chances of customers ruining my day! :D
Thanks for all the well-wishes via sms, and Facebook! (:
I was kinda lazy to reply every single one, heh.
Oh and SohLeng's uber cute. She wished me via email! Not really surprising afterall since its our mode of communication at the office. But I started laughing when I saw the email haha.
And I received a call from bb too! Love you loads, bb!
Can't wait to see you on Wed teehee! :D
This birthday, I only wished for happiness and good results. Weird, but as you grow older, you seem to appreciate all the little things in life alot more.
To everyone who made my day, thank you! ♥
Labels: HAPPY MEALS ARE FOR HAPPY GIRLS. LIKE JESSICA. ;D

ring the bells.
In Whom I Can Trust
You are the Lord
In whom I can trust
You are the Rock
I can stand upon
Every step of the way
You take my hand and say
You’ll always be here right beside me
When I call on You I know You’ll come to me
(x2)
Chorus:
You are my Lord
In whom I can trust
You’re my fortress
You’re my deliverer
My shield, my strength
For all of my days
I place my hope in Jesus
Who loved me with his life
The Rock of my salvation
In whom I can trustLabels: lyrics.

battle time.
True that, but its easier said than done. Esp for someone like me cause I just do what I feel like, not what I know is the thing to do.
Oh wells.Labels: ♥

post-office.
 I didn't plan to in the first place, that's the thing. I still rmb the internal-conflict I had and how I was trying to deny the fact, even to myself.

Work is seriously tiring, but I'm happy.
I'm glad I'm in in Business Helpdesk, cause most of the time, corporate users are generally nicer and more polite; the chances of customers screaming at you are lesser as compared to General Enquiries. Although in return, we have alot of content/details to uds.
On the 2nd day of work-proper, I was being posted to Outbound, meaning instead of picking up calls, I attend to email enquiries, settle them and get back to the customers.
Apparently, we were 'selected' based on some criteria. My Team Leader mentioned smth about analytical skills and those who read/write alot.
There were two of us, and I thought that we fit one category each. Haha cause previously during training she did ask who's from the Arts stream and I was the only one.
Subsequently, during a conversation with the FullTime staff in Outbound, I learnt that another reason why we were chosen was cause we do things pretty fast.
Me: Huh I fast meh?
FT Staff: But you're a fast learner, you pick up new things very fast. Okaaay, I never knew that lol.
But honestly, I kinda prefer Outbound. No stress over the phone while you rush to find out details as the customer is waiting on the line, and you dont have to suffer verbal abuse too. Wait correction, we still suffer, just that on a relatively lower scale.
Although yeah, our cases are way more complex, I've had cases that required me to read an email exchange btw StarHub and the company for a few months, with the customer insulting StarHub etc, with some even saying they wanted to seek third party action against StarHub -.-"
And irritating Account Managers who are just so freaking screwed up; they can't do their job properly, they tell customers the wrong thing, don't tag all the discounts for customer's bills, which ends up in us having to do a gazillion waivers. Sometimes, due to their delay in changing the plans, they ask us to do waivers after they've done the change.
Know what's the best part, when I check the accounts, no change has even been done, so much for doing a waiver -.-" This week alone, I've been adding AMs to my hate-list like free, and its only been two days. Hahaha.
But yeah, the people there make my job enjoyable.
Although I'm seriously uber tired.
First 3 days of work-proper, we OT-ed until 9plus to finish our training, yst I OT-ed for 2 hours, another 3 today. Just so I can finish all my cases. One thing I detest about Outbound, you have to rmb to get back to the cases, cause often times we escalate to this dept here and there, and they'll get routed back to you, and you have to follow-up. Bleah.
Sometimes it feels like school all over again, with all the analysing and all.
Plus my younger Team Leader seriously reminds me of Mr Ong, no joke. When I'll ask her smth, she'll throw back the question at me, and when I give her a (tentative) answer, she'll ask me why, and I'll have to explain the rationale. Makes me think alot alot alot. Just like what WOWS did to me last year -.-"
But I'm not complaining, it makes you learn faster cause you did the thought process yourself. That was how I managed to uds History last year lol.
And, I miss school terribly. :(Labels: work-a-mania

bottle neck.
I somehow like this photo alot alot alot.
And I miss my long fringe!
Fringe, hurry grow k! :D
Weird how the J2s are dreading tmr, whilst 2010's J2s wish they could go back to school. True that we never really appreciate what we have until its gone huh.
I haven't seen my Dumb Friend and Short Friend for a super duper ultra mega long time! ):
And I'm still craving for Milk Tea! Even though I drank my Pudding Milk Tea yst and made myself a cup of Milk Tea last night! Bleah.
Okay, I should go to bed now.
And I still dk what to wear tmr.
This is one of the cons of working life, really :/

neither here nor there.
 This kinda sums up my thoughts now. except for #4 and #5.
Sometimes, I really think that we tell one another way more than what we should.

bring it on.
School's re-opening tmr, and that means less time with the girls. Ironic how most of the closest people to me in SR are an academic year below me. Which also explains why I was extremely jittery on the day the Promo results were released, esp since their Promo papers weren't exactly fantastic. To the 3 of you, all the best in 2011!
Random much, but I really miss school. I miss all the structure and rigidity of things. Cause as much as we want to deny, the structure gives us a sense of security. Now that the structure's gone, things feel kinda weird.
Honestly, 2009 and 2010 were one of the best years in my life. Somehow, my JC years seem more awesome than my 4 years in Secondary School. It's in JC that I saw the ugly side of life, I matured, experienced the guilt of letting others down and hardened up against the wrath of society, I met people that changed my life.
If I were to turn back the clock, I wouldn't wish I studied properly in Sec 3 so that I could enter SAJC, I wouldn't wish I didn't take my combination, I wouldn't wish I didn't quit Council, I wouldn't wish I was more serious in J1 so I'd enter 2A01.
Yeah, shit happened along the way, but I survived. I'm glad the shit happened, cause they changed my perspective of life, they made me treasure what I have.
In 2011, I don't know what will happen, but I hope I'll go through the motions of life with the same amount of faith, hope and trust that got me through 2009 and 2010. I don't deny that they were 2 major years in my life, so many things happened, but I don't think I regret a single bit of it.
Or maybe you could say I regretted going for the Nike Run cause it triggered my ridiculously high fever that caused me to lose precious time to study for History which resulted in cramming 2 weeks of studying into 1, which led to my brain shutting down on the eve of the first paper and subsequently the breakdown on the eve of the second paper? Idk.
Cause it was through this incident that I realized many things, things I'm grateful for, things I'd treasure and never let go.
Speaking of which, I'm trying my utmost not to think of the results, cause even if I remember the barriers I broke for Econs and Lit Paper 5, I can't help but remember the horrors of History. Urgh.
That aside, its been a long day, but somehow I'm now wide awake. Going to work and seeing different sorts of people kinda makes me wonder what my future will be like. I see many people in their early twenties having full time jobs, without experiencing Uni life. And it scares me a lot. I don't want to end up like them. Yeah, I'd be honest and admit that the future scares me, cause only He knows what's in store for me.
2011's a year of transitions and adjustments, and its time for me to embrace society.
It's a tad too late, but welcome, 2011.
I'll be strong, I'll take whatever blows life deals me, I won't give up, I won't be so naive anymore.
2011, surprise me, will you? Just like how you did two years ago.Labels: recollections.

Pay-day tmr! :D
And it coincides with the IT Fair!
I can finally fulfill my dream of using my first pay-check to buy a camera! (Y)
Plus my long-awaited Charles and Keith wallet!
Omg, I seriously can't wait till tmr, seriously! :D
Furthermore, I'm meeting Michelle tmr!
Happy maxxxxxx! ((:
Anw, my G2000 pay's gonna be sucky. One month's pay is lesser than what I'm getting from my first pay-check with Starhub. Mind you, I'm only gonna be getting 8 days worth of pay for my first pay-cheque, and its alr more than what I earned in one month with G2000. Expected I guess, 4 hours a day, 5 times a week.
Oh wells.
Today was a good good good day! Work was kinda okay, I was uber high today! Hahaha.
Met Vanessa, YongSiong and Nina for Aston's, queued for close to an hour. Nothing beats the time ness and me queued. Plus that time, we cut alot of queues since it was only the two of us.
But nonetheless, we had a great time catching up! Seriously, I miss the ODAC days alot.\
Oh and one last thing, Vanessa's seriously damn bimbotic. She tried to tear a wet tissue into two so we could share. And she ended up dirtying the entire sheet cause she was trying so hard, and she ended up squeezing all the liquid out of the tissue. Plus, she still failed ultimately. HAHAHAHA.Labels: its a good day.

glitch-a-mania.
Seriously, I deserve an award for being the smartest person.
No joke.
If you are an iPhone user on iOS 4.2.1 software (could be older iOS firmwares too), please know that your alarm clock won’t work in 2011. There have been users on Twitter that have been complaining about this as well as a huge discussion post on Apple Discussion board. I waited until it was New Year’s in my area and sure enough my alarm clock didn’t work. If you are on Twitter, please click here to tweet this article and if you are on Facebook then share this article and click the like button above and be sure to let your friends know. The iPhone alarm bug will fix itself on January 3, but if you want to fix your phone now you can simply fix it by editing the alarm and setting it to repeat for multiple days.
iPhone users ticked off over alarm clock glitch By Melissa Pang  A glitch in the iPhone operating system resulted in the alarm clock function not working, resulting in many users here and worldwide to be late for work and appointments. -- PHOTO: AFP IF YOUR employee showed up late for work yesterday, do not be too quick to blame it on a night of countdown revelry. A bug in iPhone's operating system has affected its alarm clock function, causing users here and around the world to be late for work and appointments, and even miss flights. One of them, Mr Alex Lam, 31, was 30 minutes late for work because his iPhone's alarm clock failed to go off. 'When I reached the office, I realised I wasn't the only one who was late. Many others were affected too. 'We joked that it was because of the late-night partying,' said the civil servant. Mr Lam and his colleagues then tested the alarm clock on their iPhones, some of which were the latest iPhone 4 model and others the older ones. All failed to go off.
I knew about it last night, but I thought it was only on 1st Jan. Nonetheless, I decided to play safe, so I charged my Ericsson phone to act as a standby alarm.
But I overslept this morning, cause no alarm rang.
I was thinking that perhaps the iPhone alarm bug still wasn't fixed, thus the alarm didn't ring. But what about my Ericsson? It's freaking screwed, but I know the alarm won't fail me.
I found out the reason just after I finished showering. I returned to my room to hear a familiar tune. It was my alarm. Before I was wondering why my alarm was still ringing since it was 10.45pm, and my alarm was set for 6.45am, not 6.45pm, I realized that the time on my phone registered 6.55am. I out in my pre-paid SIM card that expired ages ago and I was more concerned about the alarm function, to the extent that I forgot about the time.
So that explains why I was 5 mins late for work today.
Honestly, am I smart or what?Labels: freak; but thats life, rants.
