caught a movie and then headed to his place for dinner
saw his enlistment letter and omg! so many things to be issued or bring there!

mr.d mentioned that his daddy received a letter too
about family/relatives attending the enlistment ceremony
so he was given 5 tickets for that
and his daddy asked if i needed one, and mr.d told him to keep one for me
so yes, I AM GOING TO BE THERE TOO! =)
i wont deny that i was really happy when mr.d told me about it.. =X

i know i shouldnt be feeling how i am right now
but its just too sudden for me
i fully understood that its something we had to go through
and something that is not avoidable
but why so soon?
i guess this is one thing thats not within our control

darling received his enlistement letter last night
and sadly, his enlistment date is on the 15th june
never will i ever think that enlistment date for him will be june
cos its already end april..
but the letter came last night and the fact is the fact

im feeling upset not because i cant accept the fact that he is enlisting
just that its kind of too sudden
and that date will also mean, he wont be around with me to share few important occassions
i dont wish to even go think about it now
cause it will just make me feel worst

i know he is feeling bad about it as well
cause we wont be able to plan our trip already and many other things!
i seriously need to get over it and support him instead of rubbing it in further!
im sorry for how i am feeling right now..

i need time to digest the fact
OMG!
but seriously, its less than 2 months away to 15th june!
sigh!

okay
thats all i have

i miss you

hello all!
okay im here to update!

just came back from work not long ago
had a pretty good weekend this week despite work
i shall start from friday!

headed to work on friday from 5pm-11pm
because of work, i had to give HIGH's dinner a miss! =(
it was pretty quiet when i started work
so a few of us were like chatting and commenting on the new display
we thought it's kind of dumb to display it on the table instead of the showcase..
but we all agreed the display really looked and feel as though its real!

those pictures are pictures of the parfait dessert display
look sooo yummy right! HAHA!
if you were to go touch the display, it feels so real as well..!

anyways, was super busy when the dinner crowd came
all came together at once!
and it was like full house that some customers walked away cause they dont want to wait!

when the crowd was slightly better..
i decided to go for a toilet break!
and i have no idea what made me take the main entrance instead of the back which i normally do..
but i guess i made the right choice!
i guess its some telepathy i had with HIGH! haha!

cause the moment i stepped out of Azabu
i saw a familiar figure! and when i took a clearer look..
i was certain that its DADDY WAYNE!
yupp, he was with BERNICE and JASLYN!
i was like shocked to see them, so i ran up to them and i think they were a lil stunned too
chatted with them a little and found out that they were actually planning to look for me!
so sweet right! HAHA!

i wished i had more time with them
but had to head back to work and also for the washroom! HAHA
but they told me they will come back and look for me

so i was actually waiting for them throughout the whole time
but it was getting a little late that i thought they already left marina!
but i was like wrong..
when i was like dazing away due to the not so busy crowd..
i saw this group of 5 people streaming into Azabu
and i admit i did had a scare when i saw MUMMY WEITING!
my beloved HIGH members really came back for me!

they came in for dessert despite being so full after dinner
i was kind of touched when i saw them..
served them.. though i wasnt a very good server while serving them!
they said they want to complain me! HAHAHA!
and MISS EBI kept disturbing me!
they stayed all the way till 11pm..
i supposed they were waiting for me to off work but cos of some last min customers
i couldnt leave at 11pm, so they left first

but it was really nice to see them
and daddy wayne passed me the souvenier he got for us from his recent japan trip!
his love from japan! HAHA!

yupp, the very sweet and pretty card holder
as well as sweets from japan!
thanks daddy!

oh yes,, this is to MISS PHANG YANWAN!
your love from daddy is with me!
i am keeping all the different souveniers from HIGH for you!
so please come back soon to claim them!

btw, i am going to CHARGE you..
so here's the charges..
each item will be charged at USD$5 per week from this week onwards!
so pleaese prepare a lump sum ya?! =)

oh yes..
if you have not seen my uniform yet
here's how it looks!

please dont not mock at me
cause i know the uniform is kind of suck
its like too sweet for me! =X

i really cannot stand the look of the apron! =X

okay here comes saturday!
slacked at home and met up with darling in the evening
headed to plaza sing for a movie - 17 Again!
loved Zac Efron! haha!
a pretty predictable movie, but good for a laugh.. =)

and then.. its today!
met up with sister for lunch at mum's stall
then headed to funan, as veritas have got piano class
shopped around a little and headed down to plaza sing

and yupp, i went to visit justin! =)
glad to see him at work and enjoying himself! haha
sis and the rest decided to take a tea-break at toast box

and my little miss sunshine requested for a pork floss bun
that she actually finished it up!
she is just sooo cute!

bro-in-law sent me to work
while they headed home

work was okay
not too busy
nothing much to share about!

okay
i shall stop here!
bye all!

i love you mr.d

back home from driving!
very enriching lesson today..
was asked to drive to somewhere near changi naval base in the last 30mins
stopped the car at some ulu place

instructor took out some pictures to explain parallel parking to me
then he went off the car to position the poles
i didnt know he had poles kept in his car boot!

anyways..
after the poles were being positioned
i was taught how to do parallel parking
not that easy when i did the first time..
but somehow got the hand of it after the third time..
did a total of 5 times before heading back to CDC

i was told that during the TP test, only 5mins is allowed to complete the parking
if not, it will be immediate failure! OMG!
instructor showed me the test grading too! haha!
i will be going into circuit next week! =)

working at 5pm later
hope the crowd tonight wont be crazy! =)
and..
my nose is still blocked!
how can i un-block it?! =X

okay
thats all for now!
bye!~

it's just 3days away!
i love you MM! =)

went to take over junlong today
work was really busy during lunch
the crowd was crazy and the whole restaurant was full
started work 1week ago till now, today was the first time i handled such a busy crowd!

winnie was doing the coordination in the kitchen
and hence only leaving edzel and me outside, servers
it was so shorthanded that fen had to leave her ice-cream sector and help us

thank goodness the crowd only lasted for the 2hours lunch break!
was down with a slight fever since last night
was dragging myself to work today
but since i promised junlong, i had to make it there

blocked nose was killing me!
after the lunch crowd.. i had to tend the ice-cream sector while fen went for lunch
i just realised apart from bai he
noone else there knows how to do ice-cream except the supervisor himself
so i always have to stand in whenever they go for breaks!
im like the only part-timer there under going training for that

anyway
justin started work at Azabu Sabo yesterday
he will be doing ice-cream sector.. but at plaza sing!
what a waste that we wont be able to work together!

came back home and found 4 envelops lying on my table
as i looked at it, my heart was skipping a little
cause two of it was from RELC!
that means, my EPT results are out
indeed, it took a month to come!

the other two were from NYP and Madeline
NYP sent out the details of the graduation
like where to get the robes..
the number of guests that can attend..
the place, time and date of graduation..
and all

im feeling a little excited for graduation to come!
my will be on the 27th May at 3pm!
whereas darling's will be on 29th May at 10am!
time really flies!

okay..
like i mentioned, the other was from Madeline
yupp, she sent me an invitation to her Holy Matrimony with ban chuan
im pretty surprised that she invited me..
anyways, CONGRATULATIONS to them! =))

okay..
and now my EPT results
i would say its kind of expected..
two envelops and i decided to open up the English EPT results first
cause im more confident in that
and true enough, i cleared it..
it stated there I PASSED BOTH THE COMPONENTS OF THE TEST!
that will be that i passed both the oral and the written! =)

and then came the other envelop, Chinese EPT results
my mind was set and am prepared that i wont clear it..
but a little surprise came..
I PASSED IT partially! HAHA!
yupp, didnt managed to clear both the components!
i only passed the oral portion and failed the written..
am pretty sad but well, i expected myself to fail both
so i guess that was quite rewarding thou! =)
i just have to retake the written portion now!

im so gonna brush up my chinese
maybe i should make a trip down to popular and get books
to do and to practice for the EPT!
especially recap the composition skills! HAHA!

okay
thats all i have for today!
bye all!

i love my boyfriend

and she asked me where im planning to go next..

been working straight from thurs..
work is still pretty good
i just need to get rid of my GV working style soon!

one good example will be..
was on 11 hours shift yesterday (12nn-11pm)
so i was entitled to 1 hour break cos on full shift
and that one hour break, i could request the kitchen's chef to cook for me anything i want
so i had ramen..

but something in me just told me that lunch shld just be like 20mins
which is very much like GV
so i finished lunch very fast
and then headed back to punch in for after break and started work
the FTs there will like shocked
and keep chasing me to go for my full break..
like shopping or what.. one even asked if i want a dessert...

well i guess i just dont really have the habit of taking break during work
first week into work and yesterday was my first day taking a break at work
i got to change this habit cos i realised im not being paid for that hour break!

anyways..
darling came and fetched me from work yesterday
he off work at 10pm then he came down to marina to fetch me
and brought me to eat, i would call that dinner.. haha
then sent me home after that

today was another day of work
but short shift of 5pm-10pm
met darling for the movie 'sniper'
disappointment was the only thing we felt
anticipated so much for the movie but didnt turned out well..

ended movie at abt 3pm
went for my brunch before heading to work
darling sent me to work
reached marina at about 4.15pm..
and we headed to my workplace to get ice-cream
cos mr.d wants to eat! HAHA!

then walked around and i headed to change
while darling headed home
work was good today

very few customers
very quiet
and good shift of people at work!
had fun! =)

okay
thats all for now!
bye all!

its about you and me

was out and was doing serving, orders taking and blah
glad it all went well

6 hours shift but i felt super shag after that
it feels as though im back to gold class! =X
anyways, also probably didnt get good sleep last night
thats why felt the tired-ness

tmr's shift is from 5-11!
hope it all goes well, its PUBLIC HOLIDAY!

oh..

some guy actually asked to see the store supervisor
and scolded him like dunno what

hey all!
okay.. updates updates!

firstly..
i have started work! (like finally)
after months of not working, i'm back to the working routine again!
started work on monday at Azabu Sabo @ Marina Square
work was fun

many things learnt
i have mastered the ice cream sector!
it wasnt easy at first!
my right hand actually ached from the training!
to make the ice cream nice and presentable to serve isnt that easy!
but im glad i did it after 1hour of training and i served the customers!
scoping ice cream onto cone and cups as well as mend the cashier!
and the seniors there were pleased too =)
my trainer for the ice cream sector commented that i could like go over to central
to help her with the ice cream stall!
esp when she heard i stay in chinatown, cos that will just be a 10mins walk!
but another senior said she cant just ask me to go like that! HAHA!

it was about lunch when my trainer for the ice cream sector went for lunch
and i was asked to mend the counter myself
i was a little scared when she left
cos afterall, its my first day and i dont think im that good yet
served 3 customers when she was away, good thing it all went well!

i was also introduced to the menu by another senior
i would say its tough, all the food items are in jap!
and its really alot!
but the senior who went thru with me said i can take my time
after she went thru with me..
she tested me on order taking and keying the orders into the computer
and she asked if i worked before, told her about working at GV before
so she commented, no wonder i could get the hand of it so fast

met aunty choolan and yongxin after work on monday
and we dinner-ed at Asian Kitchen
it's been long i last met up with them!
once again, topic of discussion will never leave GV! haha
and our 'godma', aunty choolan paid for the dinner!
it was a nice meet up

was at buddy's house the whole day yesterday
for our secret mission!
im glad that its finally coming up and soon we will reveal!
darling came over at about 6plus
buddy's mummy cooked a very scrumptious dinner for us!

after dinner, we headed back for some tasks
and then got quite crazy after a while! haha
we took turns to get high! HAHA!

after that we headed out for dessert
buddy's mummy cooked sweet potato soup
which i didnt dare to eat!
so i scoped all the sweet potato over to darling's bowl
and once again, some funny things happened!

xx left at ard 9plus
while darling and i stayed for a while more
and we ended up playing cards
i was always at the losing end!
buddy and darling took turns to win! =(

before we left at about 11pm
darling saw a msg from mich saying RL is having 30%
and yupp, he got high and a little excited
this time round, buddy joined him
and they are planning to order a few items!
for that, we stayed even longer to browse thru the website together!

will be on shift from tmr to sunday!
i'm looking forward! =)

okay the end!
bye all!

thanks for your 100% trust in me

had a bad sleep last night!
headed to bed at about 12plus but couldnt get to sleep in proper
tossed and turned around the bed till about 3plus before i finally get to sleep
but the next thing i knew was my phone alarm rang
yes, it's 6am and tine to wake up!

dragged myself out of bed and showered
headed to grandma's place
waited for uncle to fetch us to CCK for the 'qing ming jie's sao mu'
meeting time was at 7am!

a total of three cars headed up to CCK together
we stopped by teck whye for breakfast
and it's conincidentally, just opposite mr.d's house!

after breakfast headed to the destination
to pay respect to great grandma!
the cemetry was filled with different families
crowded crowded!

2nd sis, cousins and i did our yearly task
by placing the coloured papers nicely around the tombstone
and this year, i changed the way we used to place it
i told them to do it colour by colour! =)
and grandma commented its nicely done! HAHA!

when we went last year, uncles paid the cemetry guy 2K
asking him to help us with some re-furnishing of the tombstone
and also to replant the grass and soil..
so this year we were there to see if he did a good job

uncles were pleased with the job done
and asked me to take pictures! HAHA!
didnt expect that from them really!
so here's the pictures!

look at the coloured papers!
not bad right! =X
and it was time to burn all the incense paper
and the 'clothings' 'shoes' 'paper car' and 'paper house' and blah we bought!
oh, we got a rocking chair as well! it looked cute!

and before we left
aunty did the packing and she insisted that everyone had to take a pau to eat!
so she went around distributing the pau to all of us
we had to finish that before leaving!

thats the mini pau we had before leaving!
after which, headed down to 'guang ming shan'
prayed again and then back home

showered once again
and headed down to marina square for an interview
at a jap restaurant (Azabu Sabo), introduced by junlong
he is currently working there and the restaurant is short-handed

waited a while after the form filling
cos the i/c was trying to look for people to work
as he was planning the roster!
he sounded like fierce when junlong passed him my application
he was like 'wait la, busy now!'

and junlong kept asking if i want to drink ice water!
HAHA!
anyway, thanks to him that i managed to find another job!

the interview was short and sweet
the i/c just started of by asking how many days i could work a week
i could like request for my working days!
and he went on telling me the pay
$5.50 for mondays to saturdays and then $6.50 for sundays and PH

after that
he was like 'okay la, wo hen shui bian de (means he is ok w anything)'
then he continued 'ni gen zuo jiu ok le (means as long as im willing to work then ok alr!)'
he just keep emphasing he is very 'shui bian'
and then asked me for my account number
and keep telling me anything just ask junlong..
a very friendly i/c that looked a little 'ah-beng' =X

now i can understand why he talked in that manner earlier on
cos its just him!
so i am waiting for the roster to be planned out by him today
and then know when i am on shift! =)

okay
thats all i have for now!
im kinda sleepy now!~
bye!

meeting you was the start of something new
loving you was never a mistake

just got the final confirmation from NIE
i will start duty on the 27th July
its another 3 months more
i seriously need to find some work to do

started reading 'chicken soup for the teacher's soul'
and all the stories were all so touching and sweet
it's just amazing how some teachers can go the extra mile to help their students
and i would want to be a teacher who will give my best for my students
cause i believe in 'Teaching is not a profession, it's a passion'

every story i read set me thinking each time
i will question myself if i am really able to be that teacher who inspires
i cant gurantee it as yet but i know i will try my best

one particular caption left a great impression on me
it's a reply to the question 'Why Choose Teaching?'
the reply was short and sweet.. 'I touch the future. I teach.'
i want that sentence to be my reply in future when people ask me..
for now, all i can say is that i chose teaching because it's my dream to be a teacher

ever since i got through the interview with NIE
and was accepted..
mummy will always question me 'you really sure you want to be a teacher?'
and my reply to her will always be the same 'yes, i am very sure'
but somehow she is still having doubts about it
as she thinks that i chose teaching because my sisters want me to

no doubt to sisters wanting me to be a teacher
but their constant encouragements all started when i told them, i want to be a teacher
mummy often told me that 'teachers undergo alot alot of stress'
but to me, i believe no matter which line/occupation you are in..
it equally stressful, so i would really choose something i want to do

and now, this particular paragraph in the book assures me
that my choice and my dream isnt a mistake

"Teaching is the choicest of professions
because everybody who is anybody was taught
how to be somebody by a teacher."

alright
thats all for now

lastly..
i wanna wish MUMMY WEITING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
stay pretty mummy, loves! =)

thank you for being there always to support me

hello!
alright.. am here to update about the job that i blogged about previously
in conclusion, I DIDNT CONTINUE WITH IT
reason being it's not a good job (in my own opinion)

when i saw the advertisement in the papers
they didnt specify anything like working hours and so on
when i called to enquire before heading down for interview
the lady told me its a 5-day work week
rotation between weekdays and weekends
which i find it very acceptable
as its pretty much like GV..

interview went smoothly on tues
all i was told was that to attend orientation the next day
so yupp, i headed for orientation on wed

which ended up to be some training from 10am-6pm
the whole day was all on teaching us how to sell the $780 eye care product
had so many role plays
and we had to remember word from word on how to sell from the 'sales script'
it's not a problem for me to remember content

but what i cant stand is after hearing from the overall i/c
the overall i/c told us that our working hours are as follows

weekday: 5pm-9pm
weekend: 12nn-9pm

the working hours were fine to me
but it came with conditions such as
COMPULSORY NO offdays during weekends, roadshows and PH
we got to head down to the head office at jurong every monday
for sales target meeting and then head to work at 5pm after the meeting
and we were only allowed ONE offday within tues to thurs

i am pretty sure i cant commit to such working hours
and surprisingly the other 4 friends that were with me had the same thinking
at the end of the training..
we were told that we had to go back for training again on friday(which is today)
and hours are like 10am-6pm as well

went home
and after much thinking and discussion with sisters
i decided to reject the job
and to my surprise the other 4 friends also decided to leave the job

when i told them i called to quit yesterday
they texted me one by one and told me the same thing that they called to quit as well
this wasnt some planned resignation
but just 5 of us having same thoughts!

okay
now i'm jobless once again!

enough of the job..
shall end this post by wishing DADDY WAYNE

A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
love you lots, daddy! =))

bye all!

hold me close
