It's one thing to make mistakes, because we all do make mistakes at some point in our life.
But it's bad if you don't learn from your mistakes.
I know where I was wrong, I swear I won't make these mistakes again.
I've been really tired recently, I think that's one of the reasons why I make mistakes.
Keep your focus girl. You know you can do it! just don't bumble and be stupid!
不要这么容易就想放弃!
I know I can do it, so I'll never give up no matter how tough it can get. =D

off day!
one of my VERY rare weekends off. =D
yes, when I saw the roster I thought I saw it wrongly. so effectively I can play! =)
so it was 'food fest' again. met up with shihui for an early lunch at ichiban, then met up with mayching and hema to go queensway shopping centre to buy shirts, walk around anchorpoint and go to IKEA.
and omg I love the swedish meatballs. yum.
it's a pity I didn't bring that much, or I would have eaten even more. ohwell. =\
I changed my phone! to Samsung F480.
but the annoying thing is that I lost some of my contacts, and I have to add them all over again. -.-
gave up on it for now because it's so frustrating.
so for the moment I'm still using my old sony ericsson phone. =)
til then! =D working tml.

byebye unwanted hair!
I'm happy today, because I satisfied another food craving! =D
and I chopped off some unwanted hair as well, I feel much better now, as in my head feels less heavy, and I look better now as well. =D
met up with tab today after her school for walking around, cheese fries and thai express.
their tom yam soup is fantastic, 2 thumbs-up! =D
and I realised I need a haircut because:
1)my fringe looks absolutely horrible!
2)my head felt heavy
3)when I was combing out my hair in the restroom earlier, some hairs parted company from my scalp. and 1 of the hairs had split ends!
4)my hair sticks out abit at the back because I have a natural curl.
so after chopping off some hair, I look and feel much better. =D
I've officially concluded that my sleeping hours are screwed up. due to my bad habit of sleeping late everyday and staying up to chat with yeeliang on msn for ages everyday, as merely platonic friends. =)
but no harm done anyway since I start work late everyday also.

frustration.
work nearly drove me up the wall for the past 3 days. and right now I'm really exhausted, but I don't want to sleep. it's hard to figure out why I'm like that nowadays, no wonder my sleeping hours are really screwed up.
only keeping myself busy and chatting with some of the colleagues help keep me afloat.
and I got to know yeeliang, one of the temp staff at starhub, the kind who gets transferred here and there depending on management(if I'm not wrong).
he's really nice, we could chat and chat for ages during work whenever there were free times. =D
I guess, even though I like the job, there'll be a time when you hate the job because of the added stress and burdens.
It's so incredibly frustrating, and upsetting that this person is so insensitive, making me feel wtf and even more annoyed because I was so tired today and irritated with having to listen to computer-automated voices telling me to hold on when I need codes urgently.
and I had to call for codes twice today.
each call took about 20 minutes! -.- very infuriating indeed.
sidenote(not relevant to my whining)-
I don't know where I stand, and whether you know how I feel.I guess most people wouldn't know what I'm talking about above but really, it's one thing that's been on my mind continually. but this is the only way I can just vent out my feelings without letting others know what I'm really thinking.
so if you really want to know, ask me personally.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

12:45 AM
I'm dead tired.
I don't know how i'm going to get up the next day.
starting work at 12pm is one thing. but leaving work at 1030PM is another thing.
needless to say by the time it was packing up time I was exhausted. and I couldn't stop yawning.
at least today wasn't really insane. and I just keep my fingers crossed that it won't be so tiring the next day. I start work at the same time again! =(

university applications are a
PAIN.
I can't stand filling out the applications, especially for the discretionary section.
and thinking out backup options are equally troublesome too.
and there's so much stuff to fill out also, albeit online. at least it saves paper(let's go green! lol) and alot of admin work.
for the first time I gave out fliers at work. LOL. something which I've never ever done in my 19 years of existence. for calverk, 21 years. hahahaha.
had abit of a surprise when angela told us temp staff(minus wenqi cos she's off) that we were going to give out fliers for netbook promotions, in shifts.
so calverk and I went to the overhead bridge linking seah im and harbourfront centre and started distributing while finian and alvin distributed outside the shop. and cal and I managed to finish distributing them all. =D my smart idea: distribute them 2 at a time.
it really works too actually. HAHAHA. and the human traffic was pretty alright too surprisingly for a wednesday, perhaps because it's school holidays. but the evening was rather boring though, not alot of customers. =\
but seriously the paper wastage was incredible. angela printed out 300 fliers for cal and I to distribute outside. and for everyone who took the fliers, I wonder just how many of them end up in the trashbin. LOL.
on the upside, I'm off the next day and meeting up with favourite people.
anyway, here's the long-overdue photos from the previous outing. =D
until then! =D

application trouble.
went for NUS and NTU open house. I have way too many brochures on my table now. and I can't decide which courses I want as my alternatives.
and furthermore application for NUS is tough also, especially for engineering courses. don't get me wrong, not that I want engineering. but it's more of a plan B option in case I can't get into my ideal faculty.
seems like NUS chances are quite slim now.
but I still keep the hope alive and that it might be possible for FASS.
I wanted to do application for NUS earlier, but at the last minute after trying to think out my 3rd choice, I couldn't stand the frustration that was running in my mind and I closed the browser window.
real estate, civil engineering or environmental engineering?
I can't decide. it's such a hard decision to make. furthermore it's a one-tme submission. which means I can't undo it if I want to change any of my options.
and a wrong decision could destroy your career too. especially now for university application. it's so different from applying for secondary school or junior college.
it's a whole new thing. like a whole new world.
and yeah, needless to say I saw alot of JJ ppl at both open houses. and I met eric(fellow starhubber at cuppage who was supposed to be my colleague but last minute went to plaza sing branch) there too. amazing how he recognised me, even though we only met each other once at cuppage.
and I'm so glad my mum came along with me. at least I had someone to accompany me.
went off to vivo afterward and dropped by starhub, LOL. I think I gave some of the colleagues there abit of a surprise too.
I hope that my application woes get resolved soon and that I make the right decision. God, please give me the strength and the clarity of mind to find the right path for me.

the thoughts of university application and admission.
it's 2.28AM on my computer clock now so I'm going to just jot a few lines here before I dash off for the comfy bed. I've been sleeping at nearly 3am everyday, which is bad.
went for SIM open house earlier with shihui, a very impromptu one because I didn't know that it was open house that day, and I wasn't really very keen on SIM also.
and I have to admit that the school campus is very nice, what do you expect when the tuition fees at SIM are so expensive?
but somehow when I looked through the course booklet, nothing really appealed to me. even though I have to face the fact that I might end up there, which I don't really want.
didn't manage to go for SMU open house last week because I was working. ohwell.
at least there's NTU and NUS open house, so I'm definitely going for that one, and to get myself lost in both campuses. imagine, 2 open houses in 1 day. =D
my EZ-link card's so going to die on me once again.
my mum wants to come along with me for both open houses, so at least I won't be all alone at any rate. though the probability of meeting JJ ppl and other JC ppl there is very high. lol.
until then!

university application.
I don't know which ones to go for.
I don't know if I can enter my dream faculty beause it seems like many ppl wants to enter it.
and looking through NUS course booklet, I realised that my choices are pretty limited.
talk about being competitive in singapore. it's an all too common phenomenon.
if NUS isn't possible, I hope NTU and SMU are still possible.
1:41 AM
bowling and insights.
I was off from work yesterday(cos technically today is thursday already) so my dad impromptu said he wanted to bring me go bowling.
surprise surprise. I mean, since it's working hours and he obviously has to work, I didn't expect that he would want to teach me bowling. or more like brushing up, cos actually I know how to play it, just that I'm lousy cos the last time I actually played it was when I was in sec 3 lol.
I played against him for 2 games, my right arm felt rather cramped so I decided to try with my left hand, which is much harder obviously since I'm right-handed.
evidence that I'm lousy at bowling.
the number of times my ball went into the gutter! =(
celebrated my dad's birthday in advance too, we went sakura at science centre to eat and had a small cake for him too! =D
the standard of the food at sakura has dropped considerably. =( and somehow even though I didn't eat that much, I almost threw up.
I can't sleep now, even though I've got to be up early for piano lesson in the morning and I have to work also from 3pm onwards.
no idea how i'm going to get any sleep now.

=(
results weren't as good as I expected them to be. =(
but at least, the one consolation is that I passed everything, even physics which I thought I would probably fail judging by my atrocious standards for it.
and now I still want to try out for FASS, since there's probably a chance.
what's even more heartaching is the fact that quite a number of my other friends failed gp. thank god that no one in s34 failed gp though.
it's saddening to see them cry. especially bestie. and the fact that it's hard to console them because I don't know what's the best way to express it, except be there for them and to give them a big hug.
yet even hugs and consolations only take away just a little bit of the pain, so insignificant that it's virtually invisible.
until then. not much mood for other things.
and application starts on monday, as of now technically. so I keep my fingers crossed and more importantly, keep the faith.

it's coming.
OHMYGOD. 1 MORE DAY.6TH MARCH.I'm really scared to know. Don't know how well I can do.
please please please, I need the grades.
I want NUS FASS.
results are even popping into my dreams, making me feel really strange.
Everything's up to God now.
I hope it goes my way.
I want to know, but I'm scared to know. ='(
It's impossible to relax now, everyone's telling me to chill out and not be nervous, but it's not possible to achieve this at all.
It's probably just as well I'm not working today(thurs) and on the actual results release day, I think I'd be a total wreck. not being able to concentrate, snappish to people.
keep the faith, everyone.

6th MARCH. The day you laugh or cry.
Everything's up to God to decide now.
I pray for the good results to enter university.
Keep the faith, everyone.
It's next to impossible not to worry. I feel like a nervous wreck inside, like everything's rushing to overwhelm me.
I'm eager to know the results, yet I'm scared to know it also.

12:40 PM
this is nothing short of insanity.
it was a mad,
mad, mad day at work yesterday. from 12noon onwards it was really full steam ahead, no joking matter. let's see. there're 3 services, namely mobile, cable and others. and the number of mobile service requests yesterday was
200+. for cable and other services it wasn't that many though. no wonder M1 and starhub is always packed when it's the weekend. just as well i wasn't working at plaza sing branch, I'd be worked off my ass totally. furthermore there was roadshow for the launching of the latest Nokia 5800. so I bet the crowd there was incredible.
cool? =)
needless to say I was exhausted by the end of the day. official closing hours are at 9.30 or 10(I can't remember) but I left at 10.30! tidying up takes a long time. lol.
but had fun nonetheless, it's really satisfying when you get nice customers, but not so when you get those who are abit difficult of impatient. =\
and I met jasmine(02'07 SCDC shadows) on my way to work as well! =D had a good chat with her before rushing off.
finian and I somehow realised that we were the only temp staff left at the vivo branch, cos apparently around late afternoon wenqi and alvin went off to the plaza sing branch, calverk, veronica and linda were not working today. lol. and overworked is the world's biggest understatement ever that day.
and it's like 3plus is my DINNER hour?! that's not dinner, that's high tea. LOL.
so I've learned my lesson, when I work weekends in future I'm going to have a heavy breakfast/VERY heavy brunch so that I won't have my stomach yelling complaints when I'm at work.
and this is hahaha. my mum came down to find me at work! =D but was really glad to see her nonetheless. she came down to find me at 9.15 and she hadn't had dinner cos she was waiting for me. and I left work at 10.30.
like, omg. poor old mummy, made her wait for so long! =(
so it was off to mac for a quick dinner cos most of the shops are closed already by this time. =\
and ohmygosh, results are coming out soon. I hope I do well.
