How we waited for a day like this.

My Graduation

After spending the best of my youth in SIM for two years, I am finally going for my convocation tomorrow. It's where you wear a gown that seriously needs to be smaller and more fitting, coz it makes you look shapeless and of course the motar board, where in chinese is the "4 sided hat" to mark the end of your education, well at least mine.

Check back for the photos. :)

Quiz Time

Been a while since I did a quiz. Here goes....


Protector


The ULTIMATE personality test
brought to you by Quizilla

Me? Or so NOT me? I carry the weight of the world upon my shoulders? Wow, bu gan dang :)

It's awefully dark now even though it's just 5:55pm now. Noticed that it's been raining quite a abit these past few days. And there was this day last week where it really poured hard.

Did nothing much today. Woke up at 12! Yeah what a pig I am. But I was up doing some backdrop design for this Friday's FNL service! Had an FNL meeting with some of the committee members on sunday and I brought up that we had to take EXTREME measures to spice up the FNL services, else it would just be any other service. Well this week would be different, in terms of atmosphere. Wanna know how? Then come down and be blown away :)

Spent the whole of today making a scrapbook of a drive in movies that Alexis and I went for in Feb. Yeah it's kinda long right, like 6 months ago. I have plenty other photos but my creatvity are drained to make any more now. The most I can handle is maybe another one more.

Hatred

There's so much of hatred in my family. Honestly. So sick of it all. I really am so saddned by my family and sometimes to the point of disgust more than disappointment. Mom's forever nagging. And though some of you may find her cute and funny, if you live here, you'll know that's so not true on a daily basis. You'll hear endless whining, complaints, nagging, ranting, gossips, swearing and on and on and on. Yeah I grew up with all these being drilled into my head. How my mom hates my grandmother and even my dad and all the things that she suffered, put up, be bullied, blah blah blah. Basically all she does is say how good she is and how the whole world has mistreated her, especially after she married my dad, gave birth to us. And how even giving birth to a piece of char siew is better than us, coz at least she can eat it! How she is so pathetic and poor thing and all.Yeah big pity party... and after ALL these years, it's still the same!

I know that in the chinese saying, I'll probably get struck by lightening. But man I kid you not. It's so tiring living in this house, which is not even a home. Hearing all the quarrels, witnessing al the endless fights which are like so DER! Oh well, that should give you some idea as to why I never ever want to work in the same line as my dad. Anything that is even remotely associated with them makes me so sick.

Think I have said enough. So if I ever ever sound like my mom, God forbid! Please stop me and let me know. Still have an insurance to take on saturday and in the morning! Why must I even do all these? Like I bloody give a care!

What a small, small world

Learnt from Joanne some months ago that one of her friend from cell is also studying in SIM in my class. So that's how I got to know Roxanne. But we never got beyond the Hi and Byes. Well recently I got her added on my icq list and have been talking to her. So interesting how this world is so small eh. Then again Singapore is already so small! Heh. And she was from Singapore Poly too, but never see her around before. Well she did accounting, so maybe that explains.

Had a job offer today for a call center position. But as usual lah, have to work shifts, work weekends and public hoildays. Rejected the offer coz if I took it up means I have to let go of my cell group. Quite at a lost for my cell too. Hope that by changing it to a saturday it will make a difference and things will get better.. well in some way at least. It's not easy holding the fort alone. Pray that God will grant me extra strength and wisdom to do it. Not for my glory, but ALL for YOU!

Fishy buziness

Where's the fish? It's this ad firm that I went for an interview at. Apparently they are known by two entirely different names, and the nature of their business sems fishy too. On their first interview, the interviewer was quoting big clients that they worked with before and how much millions the company has been earning, maybe to entice the guilable to go "WAH". They called me up for a 2nd interview where I'm supposed to be attached to this sales and marketing executive to do field work and learn from him/her, which I don't think even sounds like an interveiw! So heck, I postponed it as I have to take my insurance exams, which cost $104! So better go take, at least fail also proved that I did tried. But then on second thoughts, I don't even think I wanna go for the 2nd interview at all. Sounds like a fly by night company. You know the kind, here today, gone tomorrow kind, with not a trace in sight. Yeah... When I apply for jobs better make sure it's not some funny companies like that.

Let's just say had similar bad experience of companies who advertised for one thing but made you do something which is entirely not to your expectations. And when I say out of expectations, like how about applying for receptionist job but then attach you to two sales guys and brings you to world trade center's office and sells cheapo stuffs door to door and insist this is training on the job! Gimme a break. Enuff of such crap :P

You're the super-slacker!!
Homework?
What's that? Studying? Not in your vocabulary.
You hardly study and almost never do your work
and yet, by some divine intervention, you're
still surviving. And you come to school so un-
often, your teachers have pratically forgotten
that you even exist. Go, you slacker, you!!


Which Stereotypical Singaporean Student Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Happy 38th Birthday Singapore!

Wow, so proud to be a Singaporean despite my complaints about the rising costs of living and why i havent gotten a job in these downtimes and countless other rants about this and that, I'm still proud to be a true blue, erm or it is true red Singaporean? In fact I was dressed in red today as well :)

Caught the NDP on telly today and wow it was so exciting! Had break dancing, kumar doing the indian dance, graffiti, people clapping with spatulas, even though that may seem silly, heh. But it was a true Singapore National Day sight, where you get people from differne races, religion, and walks of life to celebrate the journey that Singapore has taken in reaching yet another birthday! There was a pre-recorded segment of PM Goh saying, " This is home, because this is where my family and friends are. This is home, because we built it together..." Feels so awww.. Yes! This is HOME! Singapore, my homeland.


I LOVE SINGAPORE!


One United People

Verse one
One Singapore
One people strong and free
With one heart, one voice
We make our history
We are a rainbow of a thousand colours
Lighting up the sky
We share the Singapore heartbeat
Together you and I

Chorus
One Singapore
One nation strong and free
A thousand differnt voices
Sing in harmony
We will stand together
Together hand in hand
As one united people
For Singapore, my homeland

Verse two
My Singapore
Our isalnd in the sun
This is my homeland
Its where my strength is from
A rainbow of a thousand colours
Lighting up the sky
We build a brighter future
Together you and I
We are

Chorus

Blast!

Wow, FNL was sucha BlasT! WHheeeeee! Had so much fun, though I have to admit I'm kinda zonked out now too. Despite all that was done, nothing was a greater success than seeing so many people turning up. Had multi-media presentations, super hero games, sharing of vision and who can forget the Super Long sandwhich!

Oh just in case, you havent had a clue, FNL stands for Friday Night Live! It's a bi-weekly youth service for youths and young adults. For pple just like ME! Where there is loud, cool, and happening fun and fellowship and of course learning of God's Word. Totally awesome stuffs! FNL Rocks :)
