Well, it's 2005. It's a brand new year ahead of us...... How can i summarise 2004.... Let's see... What would be the perfect one word to describe that entire year......

wasted?

I dunno. Well, in my last blog 10,million years ago, I mentioned something about going for job interviews. Well, i did hit jackpot.

i'm 6 months (wow...) into my "career" as a systems executive for NTUC Fairprice now. what can i say about these past 6 months?

hell.

why?

well, everyone who meets me every week would know why, so defeats the whole purpose of me blogging it out here.

so why did i even sign in to blog..........i dunno..... it has been a long time. thought i'd just do a brief update on my life. hah. who am i kidding. my life will never be brief.

i guess i'm not quite right up here for now.

i've changed. i hate the way i am now. really, really, really hate hate hate hate the way i am nowwww........


26 years of lease is up.

swine-eaters, guess what?

Bwahahaha.... So so so... How's it going everybody???? Long time no see ay??? Me? Well... nothing's change... I AM STILL UNEMPLOYED... hahahahaha... So fun... Life's just so swell right now.. Yeah...

So i was working at the arts house and they were paying me shit money.. I get more from my parents just by being their daughter and these people expects me to be motivated by 25 miserable dollars a day???? They expect me to wake up at 7.30am so I can get my ass there at 9am sharp and stay in the office until 8pm??? HELLLLL NOOOOOOO... Of course I never did come in by 9am... It was always 9.30.. 10am... 10.30... What do u expect??? $25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The freaking cleaners there gets more than me!!!!!!!! I swear!!!! They get $900/month and i got... what... $750????!!!! Where's the logic in that???!!! How I know this? Cos I made the payment vouchers and made out the cheques to pay the workers there... SHITHOUSE!!!! Hahahaha...

But that's all history now... Monday I've got an interview at NTUC Income to do some magic there... NTUC Fairprice will be calling me for interview once there's a job opening.. Mediacorp as well.. Let's see... Hmmm... Ok that's all for now.. Hoping that I will hit jackpot on one of them... (Since some fine strings were kinda pulled lalalala...)

ANYWAYS, I'm doing great.. Enjoying the moment... Not having to get up early and all.. It's been a long vacation for me... Feels like those days I just did my O-levels and waiting to get into poly.... Yup, this whole paragraph has been sarcastic...

So Euro 2004 is on now... Made a couple of bets here and there at Singapore Pools jsut to make the game a little more interesting.. Have not won, have not lost.. I keep breaking even... I think I have to like change the feng shui of my room... or something.. cos seriously... my life is just monotonous... nothing's change! i bet on both games, i would lose the first and win the second or vice versa.... Something's really wrong with me... Hahahaha...

But that's ok cos I'm still smiling....

Will update when I do get a job... (Didnt I say that the last time???? Freaking cosmos saturn uranus penis venus jumping jupiters $%^*!$%#^#&!!!!)

Guess what guys? I have been temping at the new Arts House aka The Old Parliarment House for their opening as an.... ahem... ARTIST LIASON OFFICER... Heheheh... For this Italian (idiots) a capella group "NERI PER CASO"... Never even heard of them.. Apparently they are BIG BIG BIG in Italy and Indonesia and they sold millions.. and millions of copies of their album... And their concert tickets in singapore was like SOLD OUT. So i had to be their "slavedog" for a week. Design, order prints t-shirts; arrange vehicle pickups for them; tend to their welfare and shit; make sure they have enough honey and warm water for their throat; prepare them for their rehersals and concerts and shit; tell them what jingle to sing for Channel 5... and bla bla bla.... Ugh.. ALL IN ALL.. it was fun...Damn fun cos i get to watch other plays and shows and tours and concerts and movie screenings all for free with my valuable staff tag (which i laminated, punch hole and fix lanyard-the shoelace thingy with the clip, myself)...... The best part of course was "staying over at excelsior hotel for two nights cos i "had to work late and there are free rooms available for staff"" .... Heheheh.... I even got to "hire" dannie as my volunteer staff.. Hahaha... It was so easy.. I asked the 'man in charge of manpower', hokit... "Hokit.. Can I hire my own volunteer.. I have one..." And Hokit said, "Ya ya no problem.. as long as he knows they not getting paid... u give him the tag.. no problem..." Whopeeee! So dannie got to tag along with me and my itlian boys and other artistes the whole day.. Hehehe... So yeah, i've been busy meeting all the superstars.. Starting to feel like one now.. Heheheh...Like real... It's a tiring but fun job lah... Well worth my long hours.... Hope they give me a permanent job at the Arts House. Could do alot of other usefull things there... (Improve their systems and shit, u know something relevant to my field.. hahaha)

This has been one of the most hectic yet eventful week in my life....

Oh yeah.. And president Nathan came down for the grand opening and my boys (heheh.. thats what i call them and everyone refers to them as my boys) were supposed to take photos with the president... Unfortunately, they had a short 10 mins performance for some other vips around and was hoping to catch our el-presidante after their set... So after they were done... NOW... i never EVER thought I would EVER EVER get to say this on a walkie-talkie with earpiece like the secret service.... "Can anyone tell me whats the location of the president over." No reply. "Is the president still in the house over." Finally a reply... "No, the president has left" Awwwww... but how COOL is that?! hahahaha... I felt so important for a minute there. Hahahaha....

Oh well...

BY THE WAY... Check out the album "currently playing" above.. It's my boys! My italiano boys! Hahaha.. didnt know their cd selling on Amazon... Hahahaha... Yeah.. btw... 3/6 of them are cute.. the other 3 are ok-ok... but very very nice boys... I'm gonna miss them when they leave tomorrow at 11pm on Air France back to France-Italy...(i practically just told u where u can see them..) Hahahaha....

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. This is the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death........

THE ART OF SMOKING IN MY PLACE

.:THE GREAT OUTDOORS:.
To smoke outside the house in the garden when my parents are fast asleep or when that are out. duh...

or

.:THE TOILET LOUNGE:.
Note: This technique has been pysically tested a million times and scientifically proven. It works at any time of the day even when my parents are wide awake and up and about. The ultimate test was when my mom was knocking on the door and talking to me, not realising what was actually happening at the other side of the door.

Step 1: Bring a magazine/newspaper or anything to fan with.
Step 2: Lock the toilet door.
Step 3: Open the windows.
Step 4: Smoke your lungs out but blow out of the window and use the newspaper/magazine to fan out the smoke. (Acts as a ventilation system ya know)
Step 5: After you're done with the ciggie, extinguish it with a just a bit of water from the pipe.
Step 6: Dispose the butt NOT in the sink or the toilet bowl, but into the small drain in the shower. This way, the butt will go straight into the main drainage system and will not clog up the drainage as to when it's dispose anywhere else in the toilet. Note: The toilet bowl flush is not powerful enough to suck in the butt resulting in you having to dig the butt out from the bowl with your bare hands.
Step 7: Spray the air freshener that is always there. Note: If air fresherner runs out (as it always does every week due to the large amount being used by me and my bros), do not panic. Just chose a perfume from the perfume tray which my mom conveniently display on the toilet cabinet.

After this, let the art of diffusion do the trick and you're done!

Note: When my parents are asleep, you may skip step 1, 4 and even 7. Hahahaha.... Shit i'm bad arent i? Not really.... Just bored.

......and here's a great tip for my fellow smoking gals

.:THE SMOKING ROOM:.

Note: This technique should only be used when it's really urgent for you to smoke in your room when your parents are still up and about.


Step 1: Light a nice candle.
Step 2: Smoke and blow out the window. You may also chose to fan the smoke out with a magazine/newspaper/fan.
In the event of your parents knocking on the door....
Step 3: Extinguish the cigarette and get rid of it.
Step 4: Blow out the candle. This will explain the "smoky smell" in the room. Note: Perfumes also come in handy in this situation. You might want to spray some on yourself. Just a little, not too overpowering. And also, having candles will explain why you have a lighter lying around in the room.

Enjoy!
