Introducing colleagues at work!

Vivian! She's sweet and thoughtful, ALWAYS offering snacks and sweets to us =) Ignore how red the pic is pls! lol. blame it on swar's colour scheme of red and blue. heh

Joan! She's fun to crap with, but can get so nonsensical sometimes! tsk tsk.
Ohs, and guess who walked into the shop today?
Felicia Chin! :D
I love her personality man! So humble, no airs at all. She's super down-to-earth and friendly too, totally worthy for fans to go crazy over her. :) And instead of serving customers during the time felicia was in the store, we were busy taking photos with her! heh. We simply ignored the customers who were browsing. Some retail assistants we are man! =D
5 more days! wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! =D

Zoo-ed on Wed with Valerie and Stella. Saw other coursemates there too! Zoo suddenly seems hippier than malls and clubs eh? hahahaha.
Somehow the animals looked extremely bored to me. Imagine lazing in enclosures and having being stared at all day long. Gosh, I would feel bored too! It was a refreshing experience though, having to view animals instead of humans. Hah. I also enjoyed myself on the swing at the children's playground! Deprived childhood I know, but it's so FUN!!!!!! Wheeeee. Thank god the chains of the swing didn't came off, cos' they were meant for ages 2-6! How appropriate for me! =D
Ohs, and Stella made a really funny comment about the orang utans (OU). She asked me whether I thought they looked like ***. OMG la, it had never once crossed my mind that *** and the OU bear an uncanny resemblance with one another, except for their hair colour!! hahahahaha. This is super hilarious! LOL.
My zoo tic!

*** look-alike! xD
Us at the zooooooooooooo
Cute baby rhino (1 month old) and his mom! Check out the stretch marks on the mother rhino's body!

You watch the season pull up its own stakesAnd catch the last weekend of the last weekBefore the gold and the glamour have been replaced,Another sun soaked season fades awayYou have stolen my heart Invitation only grant farewellsCrush the best one, of the best onesClear liquor and cloudy eyed, too early to say goodnightYou have stolen my heartAnd from the bar room floor we are a celebrationOne good stretch before our hibernationOur dreams assured and we are, we'll sleep wellYou have stolenYou have stolen my heartI watch you spin around in the highest heelsYou are the best one, of the best onesWe all look like we feelYou have stolen myYou have stolen my heartLovely song by Dashboard Confessional. It's titled "Stolen". Highly recommended! =)
Work has been rather mundane, except for the quirky and appreciative customers that i've met, whom have made work more insightful, less unexciting and more worth the pain of standing for long hours, with customers calling up to tell you that they really appreciate your service. :)
Speaking of unexciting, it has evoked memories of a particular GAY customer that i've served recently. I can still remember his gay hand actions and gay laughter that is heard almost after every sentence. *shivers* And the "OMG-he's-so-gay" stares my colleagues and I would often give each other during the period he was in the shop. Yeah, i know it's very rude, but sometimes, you just can't help it! HAHAHAHA. It can really tickle your funnybone, just seeing him acting so GAY! Seriously, I've never met sucha gayish gay before! Yucksssss. hahahaha.
Okays, off to lala land! Buonas noches!
Je suis vraiment tracassé. Je vraiment AM.Il décourage pour apprendre de lui. Il est vraiment.Est-ce qu'à l'intérieur de moi, vous fais souffrir peux voir ? Pouvez-vous voir ?Quand est-ce que je peux jamais cesser de penser à vous ? Quand est-ce que je peux jamais oublier vous ? Je ne sais pas. Seulement qui vivra verra, je devinent.

Results would be out tomorrow via sms! I'm damn scared! Wonder how i would fare for my Issues. This subject is soooooooooooooooooooo important that it directly affects my final GPA. Can't believe my future is in the hands of ONE subject! This is totally absurd! But sadly, it's the truth, and i have to accept it. :(
What's more is that after the release of the results, i've to make a grave decision of which course and uni to pursue in, that would again, somehow affect my future career. Drats. Planning your future path ain't easy at all, and it's not true that you would always get what you want. What if you want to enter this uni to study this particular course you have an interest in so badly, however, your academics does not match up to the entry requirements? What do you call this? Not intelligent enough? Tough luck? Ironies of life?
Coming to this stage in life, where i'm still clueless over what course and uni to enter, it makes me ponder over many "what ifs".
1) What if i had scored well in my 'O' levels, such that i'm able to enter into arts course in a jc, and continue to pursue my interest in literature, would i be in a local uni now? Would i be pursuing a degree in arts and social sciences?
2) What if i had scored better in my GPA in poly, would i not fret over what private unis to enter cos' local unis are out of reach for me? Would i also not be fretting over the expensive school fees?
People have different aims and goals in life. Some are not easily contented and would desire to earn a high income, hence, would rather opt to study for the course that is likely to help them achieve this goal, despite not having any interest in it. Money is their key motivating factor here.
Others however, would prefer to study something they're passionate in. They're easily contented. Thus, it doesn't really matter if they're not earning a high income, just as long as they're able to feed themselves and their families, and be able to do what they love doing the most - is good enough already. Money is not their key motivating factor here, passion is.
So what's your goal in life? The former or the latter?
As much as i love to be the former, i feel the latter is more practical, as i do not have to worry about working, cos' i'm not! I'm doing what i love most and have an interest in. Hence, no matter what, i will stay rooted in my job and NOTHING can put me down for sure.
Owells, so much for the above thoughts. heh.
Best of luck to me for the results! =D

My wisdom tooth growing on the right is hurting real bad. The swelling of the gums has even spread to my throat, making swallowing saliva or opening my mouth to eat super pain! BAH.
According to the dentist, this is pretty normal, but i've never felt such excruciating pain before with my previous growth(s) of wisdom tooth. And i can't eat solid foods cos it's damn pain. Instead I've to eat porridge, desserts, or drink soup. I feel sickly! =( Nevermind, shall take this opportunity to go on a diet! hahahaha.
I have thoughts of extracting the stupid tooth out, but i bet it would feel even worse than what i'm feeling right now. Well, it looks like i have to bear the pain and survive on painkillers for the next few days. Hopefully the pain would subside ASAP.
Singing to the tune of "Rain" by Breaking Benjamin:
Pain pain (of the wisdom tooth) go away,
Never come at all again.
Iris would not miss you anyway...

像眼泪依赖着脸庞
你就像天使一样
给我依赖
给我力量
像诗人依赖着月亮
像海豚依赖海洋
你是天使
你是天使
你是我最初
最後的天堂

She lies in bed,
unable to sleep,
instead reflecting on her life thus far.
"Am i happy?" She ponders.
Has life given her much hope, joy and surprises for her to look forward to each day?
Has she really lived her life to the fullest, with no regrets at all,
abiding her principles
and doing what she's most interested in?
Closing her eyes,
tears start to seep through her lids.
Trickling down her cheeks, she cannot help the tears that keep flowing.
No, she is not happy.
Behind that cheerful disposition,
lies a lonely and dispirited soul,
that prefers to be left alone most of the time.
Nobody she vows,
would ever feel or understand the pain that is stinging her heart right now.
Nobody, has ever been in her position,
or would ever be in her position.
She turns to her side,
letting out her emotions all at once.
She sobs painfully and uncontrollably,
almost forgetting that her younger siblings are sharing the same room with her.
She breathes in deeply,
trying not to choke on her tears.
Almost immediately, she starts to wipe off the tears from her face,
while chiding herself for crying like a huge baby.
However, it had made her feel better somehow,
albeit the red and swollen eyes from all the crying.
Hugging her old, pink teddy with huge sewn-on patches around its stomach,
she began to drift into dreamland,
hoping that tomorrow would be a better day...By the way, when i'm bored at work, this is what i do! =D

Try on accessories! heh! =)))))))))
Love this particular tiara! Lovely isn't it?
Think it costs around $700! :O

Croyez-vous au coup de foudre ?
Je.
Et je crois que j'ai vu quelqu'un aujourd'hui qui était en effet le coup de foudre…
C'a été des âges depuis qu'I a pour la dernière fois senti de cette façon,
mais il se sent bon.
Et je l'aime.
Croyez-vous au destin ?
Je.
Et je crois si le destin nous permet de nous réunir encore, nous.
J'attendrai patiemment ce jour pour arriver,
où je peux vous rencontrer,
Mon coup de foudre…

I sit by my computer, giving serious thoughts about my future...
Maybe i should not take up a degree in hospitality and tourism. Judging from my results for the past three years, it can be clearly seen that i do not fare well in H&T subjects. I actually suck, scoring mostly Bs in all of them, not even an A. Sigh.
Do i have a passion in the H&T industry? Well, you can quite say that. I love meeting people and seeing new faces everyday, as compared to working in an office, where you'll see the same face everyday (except for new recruits), rub your butt with the chair and stare at the computer screen for eight hours a day. How mundane is that! :/
People may argue that an office job is less tiring and the working hours are fixed (9am-5pm) unlike the service sector, where you have to stand for hours, handle difficult customers and their complaints daily, work on the weekends and even on public holidays! <--That really stinks!
Additionally, the starting pay is quite low, ranging from $1300-$1600. My mom joked that free meals and uniform are provided by the hotel, hence the reason for the low pay. LOL. I don't know how true this is, but it sounds quite reasonable to me. heh.
I was thinking of taking up other courses (ie. sociology, social work), however, having studied this course, i do not want to waste my parents' money and my precious time and effort. They say it's best to pursue your passion, so that at the end of the day, it would not seem as "Okay, i'm working and i'm doing this to earn a living." It would be "What is a JOB? I love what i'm currently doing!"
Ok, i'm getting all confused and having a headache just thinking and sorting out my thoughts about my future. Arghhhhhhh. I hope to find my guiding star, to guide me through this arduous period. Ok, even if there isn't any guiding star, i hope God will guide me through and show me some light to overcome this obstacle.
What do i want? I do not know. Can someone guide me through? Pretty please? Oh Lord, i pray ever so fervently, that a guiding star,
would shine ever s0 brightly in my darkest hours, to show me the right path to take...Have finally finished watching "Under the canopy of love"!!! Lovely hk drama, albeit during the last few episodes, there were many events happening all at once. It seemed as though the director wanted to squeeze the drama into 20 episodes, hence having to run many events concurrently, absolutely not giving its audiences any chances to grasp what is happening. I believe this is especially so for the love triangle among Ah Sze, Shen Lang and Kuen Lik.
Though the ending is a happy and almost predictable one, with Ah Sze and Shen Lang getting back together, I feel sorry for Kuen Lik. He loves Ah Sze so much, yet in the end, he chose to give up fighting for her and even gave his blessings to Ah Sze and Shen Lang. How generous and bold to do that!
Watching this, i can't help thinking, is this what you call sacrificial love? You love someone so much that you let him/her go. If he/she is meant to be yours, he'll/she'll return to you? (Ah Sze unfortunately didn't do so) I guess Kuen Lik knows in Ah Sze's heart, she doesn't love him as much as she loves Shen Lang. That is why he let her go. After all, you can't force love or force someone to love you as much as you do. Poor Kuen Lik.
I was also touched by about how the director conveys the importance of family in the drama. He potrayed Ah Sze's family as a close-knitted family, a family that stays together and is there for one another through thick and thin. I believe the director hopes to serve this as a reminder that at the end of the day, it is
family that matters the most and who would be there for us no matter what happens. Hence, we should treasure them and not take them for granted. So true. :)
Nice storyline, lovely theme song and with yummy eye-candies (Shen Lang and Kuen Lik) to boot...what are you waiting for? Go catch "Under the canopy of love" NOW! It's a great hk drama not to be missed! I absolutely recommend it! =D
