well.. 1st day of work.. haha i think i shud try and not yawn so much. maybe cos i'm not v used to waking up at 8 and a 45min journey to work bleargh. and some of the oil stuff was really boring.. and finance stuff was really boring.. but i'm quite thankful he explained it to me lar. he's quite a nice guy actually.. or maybe he's just nice cos i'm going to be around for a month haha. k i shudn't be so mean but i've learnt (from experience, sadly, or maybe luckily?) that one should always suspect the worst sometimes.
and actually i dun think i shud be staring at the computer somemore when i was staring at it for the whole of the afternoon (besides running off at 2.30 to pay a surprise visit to my aunt working 18 floors below me and running off again at 3.40 to get myself ice cream/fresh air.. i really felt sick k! stale aircon. bah.) and i got an extra long lunch break today haha cos my computer wasn't set up. but really, u cudn't expect me to sit around and do nothing and wait for an hour + for lunch break rite.. i could be doing more productive stuff like shopping. rofl. i need to find ser her bday present. and i still owe darryl his. oh dear.
i just remembered something and got really annoyed. there's that saying about elephants have long memories huh.. i shud be more forgiving and less like an elephant. but it's not that i didn't forgive or anyth, it's just a fact wat. its just. the injustice of someone saying something when the opposite is true. very indignant. but nevermind. hopefully it never repeats because that's something that really irked me. which hasn't happened for quite long, thankfully.
anyway, besides that. i'm kinda glad it's going to be saturday soon, i can wake up late again!:D i dunno how my dad can sleep at 2+ and still wake up at 8 in the morning and continue the cycle the next day.
i'm so tempted to bring a discman (ok, not that i possess one) to work and listen while i compile datasheets. better than getting distracted by pple talking on the phone. and tempted to buy more cds. sembawang music centre is really quite cheap, i realised. at least i think so unless hmv has a huge sale now
ow. poor feet. and eyes. my contacts don't seem to agree with my eyes v well. or maybe cos an eyelash dropped in just now.
anyway. long day tmr! sigh. actually, for the next month. i don't know why i'm getting myself into this.. i guess i feel too poor for my own comfort haha. i guess it wasn't good to be late on the 1st meeting. but at least i called up to inform them earlier rite?? augh. k. my fault. anyway, the guy in charge of me looks so stone. and looked so disapproving/sulky when i sed i was frm both raffles schs. e.g. of scenario:
guy: so.. just to understand ur situation.. u're waiting for a level results rite.. where were u from?
me: rj
guy looks slightly sulky and continues: and.. before that?
me: rgs
guy looks even more sulky
okay lar maybe i may have miscontrued his facial expressions. but he didn't look v friendly to me aft hearing those two schools. and then later when i was requesting a higher pay. but seriously! i looked at the adds and heard frm pple and all n they mostly seem to get like 6 per hour at least? ah watever.. he looked even more displeased when i was asking about it haha. too bad. it really seems bit unfair wat.
and really, i can't believe they paid poly students only $400 for the same job.. that is like exploitation. or abuse of workers. or cruelty to workers. watever. almost wanted to tell the HR manager that but luckily i shut up in time. will not do to be impolite. but my mom said i shud've told them off. haha. but that's my mom so nvm..
owch there's really sth wrong w my nose, keeps running and i keep sneezing. phantom was not bad i guess but i think musical wud be better w live music.. now it sounds a tad tweaked by the computer.. voice editing or sth? i dunno. and i also thought they exploited the sensual part a bit but maybe that's just me too.
anyway i had better get to sleep soon. foresee a super tired clar for the next month. plus i've to figure out weird powerpt graphs and dunno wat else. working doesn't seem v appealing after all. have to contend w all sorts of problems. nvm.. shall see what happens.
wow. long time since i blogged. but didn't feel like writing anything much. anyway sigh! for one glorious moment i thought i could live my dream. but that doesn't seem so possible now huh. bleah. not that i could have done anything else actually. maybe i'll still get to live it for 6 months? haha. i gave up the idea a long time ago, but when the opportunity resurfaced.. woah.. but now dunno how.
and am sadly unemployed! i figured whatever i apply for, i'll still end up doing teaching/data-entry/waitressing or something equally mundane. so what was i expecting anyway...
i think i learn too much from my brother. have started to feel very poor now. partly thanks to his influence, partly cos everyone else is working, partly cos now have to pay adult fare (groan). well at least i foresee myself being less spendthrift, hopefully. why can't i just fly? haha. dream on girl..
but on a brighter note, i think i'll get to learn loads of things in these 8 months. also hopefully. (and end up spending a lot too actually but nvm haha)
and yesterday was absolutely depressing, realised just how inept i am, maybe i was just wasting a whole lot of money applying.. how? :(
now i also don't think i have any chance of a scholarship either. what an absolutely wonderful state to be in..
ah yes sleeping beauty on ice was so good.. set, costumes, performance, music. everything! but of cos after a (long) while the routines get a teeny bit repetitive. BUT the guy playing catalabutte is superb.. i've never seen a gymnast like that! (okay maybe cirque du soleil's acrobats can rival him) and i wish they could take photos of the production on the spot and dump them in the program but i guess that's asking for the impossible. i always do. anyway the reason for that's cos the pictures in the program -never- look like what you see on stage.. the same way the mamma mia cd didn't sound like what i heard on stage either. blah.
i think i'm too idealistic.
anyway, why isn't kA's CD out? not that i could buy it actually. unless i get them to ship to my bro and ... maybe one day i'll go back to vegas just to watch another one of cirque's resident shows:) but the static in LV is horrible. augh.
oh yes one last thought, i shouldn't get so many pple hooked on pool haha. my mom doesn't even approve of me pooling in the first place. or playing cards. oops. i wish i were as pro as dasheng/shaun.
