wow... i seriously hate my com... disgustingly irritating.. the internet connection is so slow- i really can finish my meal, come back and find it still loading... not to mention the stupid hotmail. always cannot open my mails; because don't what security reason, must sign out and sign in sort of things. arghhh.. waste time

anyway, im pretty glad my uncle borrowed my sleeping bag. then i have a reason to convince myself not to go to i-guides camp. haha. (i am not used sleeping on the floor ok) and because of that, i didn't return the form on wed, im not going to the camp. and now, i have more time to do my hr and com skills...

today hr tut was terrible. Mrs tong conducted the lesson in groups (she went to visit each gp in turns to facilitate us). notice- not help. and my group was the second last. don't know why she went super fast with my gp and the last. like only 15-20 min each. the first gp took almost 45min... so the rest of the gp awaiting for their turns were like stoning, gossiping, playing hp. total waste of time. cox we didn't have books with us, lap top to do research... so, just talk crap.

then, after the first gp ended their discussion, EVERYONE went out of the class. i was thinking, "die, now they are going to the lib and borrow more books. And my gp may be the very unlucky one (the last gp) and by the time we go lib, all the books will be gone". BUT, i was wrong. they came back after 15min, everyone had an orange book in their hands.
then mrs tong laughed. and she stood up and told the whole class that the book by Tan Chee Huat is out. available in the book shop. 40 copies. only. have to wait till next week for the book to come if the stock runs out. and, and, each cost $34!!! please. Judith was whinning 'heart pain heart pain' throughout when we went out of class to the time we return the class. with the book. there goes my money after selling my books to thiam seng. haix...
i was telling Judith that she MUST help me sell when we finish using it in 3.1.. haha...thanks in advance... =)

so while waiting, we chatted with may, the myanmar girl in my gp. she seems ok, and i really pity them! their sch fees per sem is $10,000 plus! omg... i know it's ex, but i did not expect it too be so so high... and she live together with another 3 friends in tamp, rent is about $1800 a month. also so ex! mind you, it's excluding utility bills!! wow... and i found out a secret about the myammar clique...heee hee hee... time passed by very quickly talking about such stuff...

ok, back to the hr thingy. mrs tong kept saying 'this is very vague', 'you know, this is not to precise', 'do research' etc. how helpful. AND AND, all the sem 1's topics are back... oh no.... so much to do now... by mon have to wrap up our FILA and get ready our materials... time is running out...
and the most important thing is she mentioned that we MUST finish FILA before looking for consultant. they will just brush you off if we look for them now. moreover, next week is the very last time mrs tong will take a look at our FILA. which is like, say, the third time??? i remember mrs ong would check our FILA every now and then to ensure we are doing the right thing. and, she will check our learning issues frequently, so that we know what to find for our peer teaching notes. but now, =(( what if peer teaching notes do wrongly? then FILA wrong, peer teaching notes wrong, mindmap wrong, report surely wrong, presentation also wrong! aiyo...

Today's the second KSCC lesson... Vincent told us that our 'training sessions' will be cut short because he had almost finish teaching us the basics! so, by the 4th week, we'll be officially doing work! omg, so scary...

and and, vincent's going on leave next week, so his BOSS will be here to take us. oh no...

Well, many funny events took place today.. Jing Yi really make our session very fun.. =) haha. for instance, today when Vincent told us to gather around his desktop to show us some files, Jing Yi was leaning against the table. And don't know what did she do, the whole ornaments on his desk dropped. And spoilt. HAHA. then vincent started keeping everything that could put danger to his life away from her, before she 'stabbed' him behind his back.

Then he asked her to call a candidate to inform him about his interview, then she asked, "how to call?". Then Vincent slapped his palm against his forehead and replied, "First, use your fingers and pick up the phone. Second step, use Your fingers again to punch the semi circles, semi circles, press, press, punch." lol. then Jing Yi blur blur asked,"where got semi circles??" haha.. she very cute la...

BUT the funniest thing that happened today was on Judith. gee... Vincent demonstrated a role play on 'how to interview a candidate'. So Judith was the candidate. We sat in a circle to see how he did it.

Then he started the causal conversation by asking, "so Judith, was it difficult to get to this place?"

Judith answered, "Ya."

Vin: where did u come from

Ju: Oh, i came from the bridge. then walked to engineering school, then could find. so i walked to design school... then finally came here...

*laughters*

Vin: (?????) why didn't u ask a business sch student

Ju: ya. eventually i asked a girl and she brought me here.

then some where in the middle, he said, "so Judith, can i have your IC?" (to check her particulars)

Ju: oh. eh. 90+++++++

*LAUGHTERS - including Vin*

Judith blur blur don't understand what happened... hee...

oh ya, vincent told us a lot of stories today. one was a motor cyclist... then he mentioned that person was stupidity to the highest degree... can be masters already. That, make us laugh for 5 min. haha... especially Jing Yi. can't stop her laughter....

anw, im gonna miss him next week =(( scared his boss fierce lehx.. But vincent said, "NO ONE in kscc has a fiercer face than me le. don't scare la. just act normal can le. must po a bit, so that big bosses will have good impression of you."

and, today very happy. ALL lessons ended early! wee~~
travel and leisure let us off 1hr early
club and resort too (1hr earlier)
even KSCC 30 min... (we kept saying 'yay! today will end early'. then vincent stubbornly said, what makes you guys, no, girls, think you will end early?' then Jerline argued, 'today all lessons ended early. 1hr somemore. even you don't let us off, we can self motivate ma...' lol)

oh ya ya! tourism's group is almost finalised! im in the same gp as Judith, Fiona, Bee Yean, Xiu Huan, Lina and Jing Yuan. hehe...no ***

FINALLY SOLD MY BIS STATS TB... HEE...thanks thiam seng for buying it, but i am so so so nice la. self half price for both tb and wk... =)

oh ya. i just checked tp's mail. stupid. they are going to change everything and we have to go 'move' all our folders to the new account. so troublesome. good news is that my current account has nothing but rubbish. haha. so just delete them all!

i should really stay away from blogs now. i haven't started any projects and Judith told me she already borrowed 4 books for com skills and had started HR. omg. am i really that slow?

i think i really won't like hr afterall.
the teacher's fine. she looks nice and friendly (her name is valerie tong by the way).
BUT, let's say that im very fortunate- i am gonna work with another non-sporean. again.
well, i shall stop here. don't want to elaborate further. (it already spoilt my mood yesterday afternoon. i know i did, and Judith didn't dared to ask me. haha. sorry la. but after lesson, we went to library to borrow books, mood's better again)

i just hope that travel and leisure, club and resorts' groups we are better in luck. hopefully Jeslin will want to group with us. but i know the chances are not very high. cause most groups are already formed in the right number and stuff.

bear with it wanting. bear with it. for ONE year.

no offence, but i just hate it when some people acted so nice and everything, but they just totally disgust you in the very next minute.. thanks a lot man...

first week and there are already projects awaiting for us. what's life 2.2 going to be like?? terrified now. really have to work very hard!!

just talked to hanif on msn a while ago. He kept telling me to RELAX, relax and relax. haha.. really missed him man. everytime talking to him reminds me of band. the funny memories we had- fighting about everything under the sun. haha. anyway choonyi, he said we have to skip lectures once or twice. don't get so stress over projects. can even try sleeping if you really don't want to skip it. lol. thanks a lot man... and for heaven's sake, when would you stop asking that question? admire you for your long windedness...

school had officially started this week. BUT still, i'm not very used to waking up early and squeeze with people on the bus.

had arranged to meet Judith outside lib on monday to check ez print if com skills book was out already, but i was late... LATE for 20min... so so sorry man.... please don't remind me that my KSCC's gp will change with Jeslin's gp occassionally. (then, i will have to be in school by 8.30am! oh no. what time will i have to leave my house??!!)

anyway, Judith and i were the 2nd and 3rd earliest in class..haha. it was 8.57am when we sat down... well, the teacher who was in the class was a female, but i remembered checking tp staff info and it says male. it turns out that my com skills teacher was on leave (did some sort of opperation), so we'll have a relief teacher for this week. well, at least she was nice enough to let us choose our own gp mates (so sorry for Julie...).

Fellicia and Jeslin (yr 1 friends) were same class as me.
Jingyi, JiaHui, Judith, Jerline (all Js huh?), Lina (yr 2 friends) are my classmates again.
and Fiona (julie's friend) too.

well, we had a little confusion while forming our grp bcox the relief teacher conducted her own class together with ours, so there were way too many people in that room. i couldn't tell who's in my class and who's not. so Juidth and I didn't know who else to ask to be our gp mates when JingYi etc they all left us.... so in the end, got Jeslin, Geckting, Yiqing, Jingyuan and BeeYean to be our gp mates...

Tues supposedly to be a 'off' day for me, but unfortunately, had to go back to school for KS... felt super weird wearing formal in the very first week of school. saw ShiHuan and Julie yesterday and they asked if i had presentation today. haha...
anyway, KS first lesson was a bit boring in the beginning. ice breaker, theory, theory and theory. and he kept confusing us that so and so will come out for our test (5 stars, out of 7). then after one min, he changed to (7 stars). then we argue. after which, he said, "ok. now i officially make it to 7 stars. WILL come out. can? 可以吗?" haha... he like to say that.
BUT, after our 15min break, lesson went on more smoothly, cause we had practical! haha. more fun... he let us 'play' with the phone - in pairs, we take turns to call another pair and one of us will act as consultant and the other act as job seeker. we made a lot of silly mistakes, but we learnt many things!!! before we left, he told us to make a document ourselves so that we can refer to it (won't get so nervous and 不知所错) when real job seekers call in the next few weeks.

2 more weeks to sch reopen... sianx

i wanna watch movies... before getting really busy..
watched painted skin with mummy last mon... i thought i was quite good and touching, but mummy thought it was boring. i expected it to be scary, but it was not... [liao zai is supposed to be those ghosts, weird weird thingy?]...but at least the last few scenes were touchin..

my sis wanna watch connected, but im not very enthu about this show.. shall see when she's free first...

oh.. my sis and i went to make our new specs tgt last thurs...hee...i think my mom would say we wu liao.. because our new specs looks about the same, and from same series some more! haha.. but im paying with my own money...oh no... i haven't earn a penny and im spending so much.. at least my sis got the gst package money, but i don't! and i don't understand why mine is almost the same price as hers.. the degree is so much higher than mine 600~700 plus... mine's only 200~300 plus. but my san guang is higher.... haix... my mummy don't wanna sponsor me.... sad... not that i wanna change for the sake of changing, but i can't see clearly le ma... =(

never mind, i shall bug my mom to buy me new clothes... hee....

back from chalet! it was fun to meet and catch up with the rest, as we haven't seen one another for so long... most of them are busy working, while some of us still remains unemployed...

the most unhappy thing of all was some of us were so broke that we had to think twice before we spend our money... haha.. but, we still managed to survive throughout the chalet...



finally get to play mahjong! wow.. the last time i played, i think it was the last yr's chalet... here's my winnings! i think if i counted correctly, it's $7! hehehehe.... we played 3 rounds, didn't finish the last round because we were all so tired... i was practically a zombie sitting there throwing and waiting for my tiles.. well, aaron said i get my tiles "effortlessly". michelle played to most. before i arrived, she was playing. then when we touched the tiles the second time, she was playing too... before she left at 4 plus saturday afternoon, she was also playing! wow.. very energetic??!! haha, but she slept the most too...


when i arrived at 5pm on friday, pauline and benjamin were already watching ju-on, while the rest played mahjong. so i joined the 2 of them and watch-since i haven't watch that movie before. we didn't quite understand what the movie was about though, until jenny arrived and explain to us... haha.. weird huh?

we had canadian pizza for dinner on friday, and im surprised they didn't charge us for service charge and/or gst... well, maybe they included already... whatever...

sat, after eating at Mac, we went to E-hub!... we were stoning in front of the cinema watching the trailers... haha.. some people walked past us and wondered what we were doing, because at one time, 7 of us sat at down in one row (too tired lah)...

then something funny happened when we were on our way back to the chalet. minhui and jenny went to buy some drinks, so the rest of us waited outside watsons. then michelle and derek sat down, leaning against the board. so when darren and us talked to michelle, from the other angle, it looked as if we were speaking to the board. then there's this girl who came out from watsons and saw us speaking to the "board", she, out of curiosity, poked her head out to see what or who we were speaking to. haha... the rest of us burst into laughter immediately, bcox we were wondering what's there to see.... haha... then michelle wanted to scare her but that girl was a bit... i don't know how to describe. probably she got irritated because we were laughing at her a while ago... i thought if it was jenny, and she stared back at her, she might cry...haha...

oh ya, we played the aeroplane board game, which i haven't played in years! haha.. but it's fun to play these board games again, like snake and ladder etc. speaking of games, derek introduced us to this new game called "5 stars"... most of us were just wondering what this game was all about, aaron and benjamin on the other hand, began singing -- "5 stars arising, out of the stormy sea...." lol!!!

anyway, this game is fun! except if u got sabotaged and 'dropped' your stars... but that's the fun part- to sabotage your friends... derek and pauline is good at this game..! haha.. and there's darren going around disturbing people..haha.. but most of us didn't dared to talk, because we were concentrating to see who's the first to put the hand under the nose.. =)
