I wanna start off the entry by saying that I feel the need to rejoice because I finally KILLED THAT MUTHA FUCKING MOSQUITO IN MY ROOM THAT HAS BEEN SUCKING MY BLOOD FOR THE PAST WEEK!!!! It was hovering below my computer table and I always get bitten everytime I'm at the computer. How irritating........ Sometimes I wonder if that lizard that crawled into my room is doing his job or not?? Or is that mosquito so vicious that it bit that lizard to death too?
Anyways. Its been ages since I was able have alone time without anyone at home. It suddenly feels so peaceful....... No television ranting some documentary, no one to hog on to the house phone, no incessant barking from my dog, just no one at home but only my music blasting away. =D.
Tomorrow I'm meetin Egg. Oops, I mean Aiken.Haha. Time for some shopping and getting in touch with my friends and do some catching up cos' it has also been ages since I last saw him.
I have nothing much to post now. I'll come back again when I feel like it.
Tata.

Right, Its about damn time my blog has some pictures after god knows how many post ago was my last entry with pictures.
Anyways, I've finally converted myself to part time at QS cos its taking a toll on my studies as I've mentioned earlier and its not helping when I'm working almost everyday and left with no time to practice on my Maths. So, Christine, my manager, a very kind young lady, converted me to part time straight away with just a few questions and nothing else...=) So, starting from next month. I'm only working like what... 10 days for the entire month. Not bad huh... Haha. I doubt I want to work more than that for now especially with my exams nearing. I don't want to fail again =p
Oh, those pictures on top are some of the new friends that I've made recently. The first picture with the 2 guys on top are the ones I met elsewhere. I forgot where. The other 2 pictures are my fun loving colleagues who knows how to enjoy themselves. Haha, the girl in the aviator sunglassess always laughs at me. She says that I'm really funny, I don't know at what. But she loves it when I speak in cantonese to her. She just cracks up really hard and can't stop.
Geez. Its a Friday, I'm not working and yet I'm stuck at home with totally nothing to do. How boring. I need to make more friends and expand my ever shrinking social circle. Bleahhh...

Just when I thought that Happy was going to become a routine as it was getting boring to go there to do the usuals just like any other club, it proved me wrong.
Sunday night was quite a smash as it was the first time going with my colleague and her 2 gay friends that looked pretty damn straight to me. Every inch of them just looks straight.
It was all about the booze and the music and the chit chat of introductions of ourselves at first. Then things started to get outta hand. Because we had 4 people and we were seated in a booth like area where there is a lot of privacy with an intimate setting, the 2 guys started to relax after a few shots. But after 10 shots of Tequila, they did something quite out of the ordinary. They were making out in front of me.
Okay, maybe I'm overreacting a lil but hey, its the first time that I'm seeing 2 guys making out in front of me and they are people that I actually know. If it was some random gay guy, then I wouldnt give a damn.
But after a few hours, I started to accept them for who they are and they are nice people after all. I mean, they are still humans. Just that they have different taste from the masses.
Apart from that, I finally got to go out after like how many million years of being absent from the civilisation that has moulded me into who I've become. Its like a breath of fresh air. Its funny how I used to hate the routine of going out too often that staying at home becomes theraputic. Like the saying goes, too much of anything is no good.
Oh, which reminds me, I think I'm going to quit QS soon as it is taking a toll on my studies and I wouldnt want to end up square one again. What happened to me in March earlier this year has already shook my world. It didnt shake hard enough to kill me, but whatever doesnt kill me toughens me. That toughening has brought me through this year and I think this year has been filled with character building and exposure to the outside world that I'm about to face after I officially enter the coperate world.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.... Somebody please help me with the stupid Tagboard. I only just realised that it is inactive so Flobberbox or whatever that website provides the tagboard decides to deactivate my service.
Hello?! Doesn't mean that no one tags the board means that there are no readers and my blog is therefore inactive okayyyy. So wise up and give it back to me you scumfaces!!!
Okay, lets talk about a lil more neutral or happy things before my blog turns into a more angsty one since my last post was about venting my frustrations.
Its been such a long time since I've had any adventure or anything interesting happening in my already-so-boring life so I don't have anything particular that I would wanna blog about except the fact that I'm working almost everyday. How saddd.
Adding to that sad fact, my management is actually considering whether to gives commission cos' we are not hitting the set target of sales. HELLO?! How you expect a store to do well when its barely 2 months old and the merchandise is so expensive and all you get is mostly foreigners and students BROWSING.
Right, I shall not go on any further like I mention about venting frustrations. Haha, there's always the easy way out... QUIT. Its not like I need that job so badly that I'll stay on with no commission and an extremely low pay after a CPF contribution.
Have any of you guys been to the new basement level of Raffles City? Roxy is opening a store there and its just in front of the escalator that comes down from Starbucks. Looks huge though, I dont mind working there even though its women's wear. Its easy to get there and the perks goes on:D
Anyways, I'm actually thankful that I have a job now that is exposing me to the real world that is full of malicious people and real office polictics before I enter poly next year. All my old classmates are complaining to me that poly isn't that fun as it would be pictured cos of the people there. O well, maybe its just ACS boys are being themselves not being able to take such a large mix of different kind of people all at once after being in ACS for the past 10 years (well most of them are from the ACS Primary/Junior).
I'm still having a neutral mindset about it. So I still can't say much about it.
Quote of the day: Life's tough, but too bad, you've gotta be tougher.

Ahhhh.....I finally get a chance to sit down in front of my computer and do anything I want without watching out for my bedtime because I've got no work tomorrow!!!
Anyways. I just watched the show "Click" and I'd give it 5/5 stars. Its really funny, hilarious, but at the same time it is really well balanced with a very sad story that starts to develop half way through the movie. Haha, just let me admit that I actually teared in the cinema because it was really sad and heart-wrenching. Titanic pales in comparison when it comes to the sad parts.
Okay, I shall not devulge any further so that you can go check out the movie for yourself. And, I need to let out some frustrations here.
I have this new colleague (not really new, but newly transfered over from another outlet) who's really fucked up to work with. I almost wanted to make a post previously about him calling for a meeting with out management cos' he has loads of irrelavant issues with quite a number of colleagues.
Anyways, I wanted to have a neutral mindset about working with him because I don't know him at all. But geez, he tossed all that into the trash bin from the very 1st min I started working with him.
Firstly, when we're all busy doing opening and housekeeping, he doesn't lift A FINGER to help out with anything at all. According to my colleagues, he think's he's the supervisor around and he's really proud that he's got the highest sales at the other outlet. Seriously, I think that's so true! He can actually stand around and pretend to look busy by darting his eyes around when we're all busying doing chores. Like WTF?!
Then, just because he has good sales at the other outlet, he thinks that he'll get equally good sales at this outlet. He has sadly mistaken. Sales at my outlet are a lot harder to get.Its a long story. I shall not elaborate. So as I was saying, he's so concerned about his sales that he's always checking for his personal performance like every half and hour. Then when he did it again, this colleague of mine was standing next to him, and her sales were highest, his was the second and I'm the 3rd for the day. So he had the cheek to ask her to "give chance" for him to hit higer sales. When I heard that I just went "WHAT THE FUCK?!" rather loudly. He even wanted to challange for sales. So I was told to be more aggressive on my sales and not let him get proud of himself, afterall, I'm the one with the highest sales for overall now =D.... right.
I'm now waiting for him to piss me off a few more times before I actually come to a breaking point and embarrasse him in front of all my colleagues and make a dignified resignation, or maybe not.... we'll see
