Hahaha! My laptop finally has a new battery! Hopefully it lasts long enough like a few more years or so.

As you guys know, my laptop battery life has been detoriating ever since last year. From lasting to 4hours it decreased to less than 20minutes.

There was this DELL shop at Suntec near my workplace, so I decided to go there and enquire about my battery. They said if I still had the warranty, I will be entitled to a 1-to-1 exchange!

The person asked me to go a website so that he’s able to see my screen and he controlled it! Very cool you know!! My dad said it’s called remote or something.

On Wednesday, they arrived at my house with my dad present there; I couldn’t be there because I was working.

They arrived and showed my dad the battery, but it turned out that the new battery was a little bulkier and bigger than my old one. Therefore, my dad decided to decline it.

Then the next day, they called me up and asked the reason was that I didn’t accept the new battery. I quoted what my dad said and the person said that this new battery is better and it can last for 3.5 hours, which appears to be a lie because it only lasted like 2hours! I’m going to call up the person again!

Anyway, it’s still so much better than my previous one. I don’t know why mine was lousy, the only conclusion that I came to was that I was the unlucky person who got the battery which the machine/man anyhow manufactured! Oh well, at least I didn’t have to fork out a single cent.

Alright, I’m going to end it here. Sorry for the lack of updates and pictures because of work. Let me tell you about my daily routine right now.

7am – Time to wake up.

7.45am – Leave the house

8.10 – Reached Tampines MRT Station and head off to Pasir Ris then and onto City Hall. I usually take to Pasir Ris first because I wanted to have a secure seat on the train besides it’s confirmed that I would get a seat because it’s usually quite empty. In addition, those aunties don’t wake up so early so I don’t have to give up any seat to them or pretend to fall asleep.

8.55 – Reach the workplace.

9am-6pm – Work, sometimes I do notes on facebook, sip a cup of coffee, chat with Fen Ru, who is also working the same job as me. Of course there is a lunch break from 12pm-1pm.

6pm on the dot – Leave the office! I wouldn’t want to stay any longer because I don’t get paid for every second or minute longer than 6pm.

6.20 – Reach the City Hall MRT station, squeeze with the rush hour people onto the train back to Tampines.

6.50pm – Reach Tampines! Then I would rush off to the bus stop.

7.20pm – Reach home! Take my dinner and watch the Hong Kong show on channel 8.

8pm – I would lay on the sofa and watch those rubbish shows.

8.40pm – Go and bath!

9pm – Time for another show from channel 8! (that engineer show)

10pm – If I didn’t bath at 8.40pm, then I would use this time and bath. Otherwise I fret on what to wear for the next day till 11pm?

11pm – Pack my bag and I get myself tucked in for bed.

And the whole of this routine continues 5 days a week. Which a matter of fact, to put it bluntly, only 1 or 2 words to describe it.

1 word “monotonous”

2 words “no life”

But I realised that the time passes really fast because work almost occupy ¾ of my day and the remaining time, I’m left to watch television programmes, eat, bath and sleep. That’s all.

Which is why you don’t see me online at night but I am in the day from 9am-6pm.

Bye, I’m counting down to 6pm which is approximately 12 minutes away! And I’ll be meeting Vivian for dinner and off to dancing! And I’ll be exhausted by then, but I’ll still perk myself up for “Survivor”! ;D

And, I make my mark.

Speaking to foreigners on the phone really makes me vomit. I have to spell out everything bit by bit, how irritating can it be when they don't under what I had just explained to them.

Oh well, at least not majority of them are like that. =)

Hello people!

I'm now currently at work :D

Kind of an easy job, faxing, email-ing and calling up of companies eh.

But the obstacle is that I need at least a few companies to fax me back the reply slip asap otherwise the boss would be sad =(

Sitting in the office, sipping a cup of coffee, faxing, email-ing and calling companies is what I do everyday now :DDD

Don't envy me, go and find a job NOW!

BYEEEEEEEE!

And, I make my mark.

I'm having lots and lots of butterflies in my stomach right now.

Crap, hope everything goes well tomorrow then.

I'll need to postpone my buying of a bicycle trip to Saturday then unless if I quit or something. =3

Although I'm not sleepy but I HAVE to go to bed now.

*cross fingers*

Wish me luck.

And, I make my mark.

Listen, I caught this like a few seconds ago.

The word "busy" is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes. The word "busy" is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Oh my god, how true is that. The very first sentence really made me laugh! :D

Continuing on.

It seems like a good excuse, but in fact, in every silo you uncover, all you're going to find is a man who didn't care enough at all.

Remember: Men are never too busy to get what they want.

Oh my gosh, I'm so totally in love in the book right now! I love this book! This book really rock and is speaking entirely nothing but the truth!!!

Wooooo!

Ahh, this book is my secret weapon in treating guys the next time! ^^

Labels: he's just NOT that into you

And, I make my mark.

11:40 PM

Oh crap.

Look at the picture below.

Well, if you do you Math, 100% = 16.84mins.
Convert it, it only lasts for 17.24mins.

And I've tested my laptop out, it seriously lasted less than 20minutes -.-

Hope my dad volunteers to buy me a new battery, even better a new laptop :)

Anyway, bad news.
I've spent all my ang bao $$$.

$139 in total for the total collection.

$100 just flew away for Hip hop II.
$25 for steamboat outing.
$22.80 on tues's outing with Sam and Vivian.
$37.80 on STORYBOOKS.( 3 for the price of 2)
$13 for dinner on Friday.
$16 for 3/4 grey pants.

Do your math and you'll get -$75.60.

What the hell, I even used NETS which means I'm deducting $$ from my own a/c. Damn it, I can't keep my money at a certain level which means it's decreasing like never before.

Oh, I just bought a pants for dance lesson :)
Initial price was $17 but I haggled for a lower price which was $16! Pretty friendly owner.
I've already tried it on, and it was alright!

And I bought 3 STORYBOOKS yesterday.

Uh huh, 3 books. No doubt about that.

I'm not gonna name what books I bought because I refuse to lend it to anybody.

Why?

Because I don't trust people with my things, once bitten twice shy already huh.

If you're that curious what books I bought.. Well, the only clue I can give would be that the movies are going to be out soon, so I bought the book in advance and to kill my time bumming around at home.

Alrighty! I realised everything above was quite solemn soooo...

I'm gonna make myself laugh again!

I webcam-ed with Megan on Saturday again!

See the big bird handphone keychain there?

Yup, that was the main point!

I lifted it up for Megan to see and guess what!

Megan: duck!

Edna: Not duck! Big bird!

Megan: oh i know!

Edna: Sesame Street!

Megan: chicken

Edna: Chicken!!!

*Well, at this point of time, I'm already laughing like mad already!*

Edna: Even my brother is laughing at you!

Megan: Eh.

Well apparently, Megan didn't see what I was typing at all! I already typed the answer "Big Bird" and "Sesame Street" for her to see! And she didn't see that at all and continued to guess -.-

Oh well, she still can't multi-task =P

Labels: Still bumming around. *bum bum bum*

And, I make my mark.

8:34 PM

*Shit blogger, I've posted this entry like 5 times already and there is still isn't any spacing! Inserting
IS NOT HELPING AT ALL!*

Initially, I just merely wanted to blog just with a few words.

But, I realised...

It's the 200th POST ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha! :D

Alright, you got yourself lucky people! Instead of just a few sentences, it's gonna be paragraphs!

*Notice the "s"*

Let me start off from Thursday.

I introduced this admin job to my mom, which is at Pasir Ris, very near to my aunt's house. I followed her to the mini interview, I browsed through the book shelf and realised there's this Puzzle Book which you need to find words lah, so that was the entertainment for me.

After that, mom and I went to White Sands and had dinner! Of course must use this opportunity to dig a hole in a pocket! Alright, not really but just dining at "Wan Chai Cafe" :)

I ordered "HK Milk Tea" and "Fried Rice" lah huh, whereas my mom had "Beef Hor Fan".

We wrote our orders on a given piece of paper, so beside the "121(which indicates HK Milk Tea)", there was this "Remarks" column. I thought they might misunderstand my choice because I wanted a Cold Beverage, so I wrote there "Cold".

So my mom came back with an "HK Milk Tea" with a scoop of ice-cream in it. I thought "Woah! They so generous ah!"

But much to my dismay, I checked the receipt and that bloody cup of Milk Tea costed $3! My mom went to asked about it and see if there was any mistake.

The person in charge there said it's $3 because I stated COLD!

Bloody shit!!!! $%^&*()+_$^%^&(@#$%

*ahem*

Bastards huh. I thought it was understandable by the word "'COLD" but I didn't say I wanted a scoop of ice cream in it! I was afraid they gave me a HOT milk tea which was why I wrote the word "COLD" in the remarks column!

Bloody hell, $1.60 also wanna cheat huh.
HOT milk tea cost $1.40, COLD cost $3!! #$%%^&*)%*&

*ahem*

There you go.

Oh and $6.50 for a bowl of fried rice?

*Notice that I didn't use the word plate.*

Uh uh, not very tasty though I have to admit that I liked the prawns they used.

After having this dinner which only filled 1/2 of my tummy, we went home and caught the 9pm show and of course American Idol!

Continuing onto Friday!

Sam, Vivian and I made a promise that we would have dinner EVERY FRIDAY since Vivian and I had hip-hop lessons ^^

*Oh Samantha! Just to let you know, we both had signed up for Hip-hop II which means that you'll need to join us for dinner every Friday even when school starts! Oh, class commences on 20 March*

*Hint hint, CAKE!*

We were supposedly to meet at 6pm, but at around 5.20pm, all 3 of us were still online, okay maybe Vivian already went offline few minutes ago. But still! BOTH OF THEM WERE LATER THAN ME!

We had Secret Recipe for dinner! I was deliberating whether to order a KIDS' MEAL FOR MYSELF.

Ahhhh, yes you didn't see wrongly. KIDS' MEAL.

Because I ate like half a packet of chicken rice before I went out. In the end, I ate "Meatballs Spaghetti" which was not tasty at all, the noodles were tasteless and the meatballs cannot be compared to IKEA'S!

$10.90 flew away just like that.

And I've been a good girl not to ask $$$ from my parents on last Sat's steamboat outing, Tuesday's outing with Sam and Vivian and THIS outing as well!

I deserve a pat oh my head, don't I? *grin*

After that, I tried to pursuade Sam to wait for us after our lessons but to no avail =(

We went to Carrefour because Vivian wanted to look for food because there were BUTTON MUSHROOMS in her Spaghetti and she left the whole chunk of chicken sauce on her plate! She bought the Omelette Sushi and I finally found the water dispenser! HAHAHA! REFILL WATER FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

So off we go for our lessons and Sam went back! Lesson was good, learnt another 2 counts of 8! ^^

HAHAHA. Random stop of Friday.

Onto... TODAY!

Bumming around at home is what I do everyday now because I've yet to find a job :(

I hate sales.

I want to do admin work, you know what?

I called a couple of companies I found on the newspaper. Either, 2 months of work is too short for them, or I needed to have Accounting knowledge which is needless to say -.-

POA knowledge vanished in my brain long ago already lah! Even though, having a LCCI cert doesn't make a huge difference unless I complete all the levels, but meanwhile I've only accomplised Level I.

Oh, some companies are over the other side of Singapore and mom said "Aiyah, don't want lah. So far also waste the transport fee."

Those articles on the newspaper, " $50-$250" for an assignment! Woah, very attractive pay huh, but I think it's a fraud. Or the assignment is way too hard to accomplish. Eh, if some smart alec or person find that job, wouldn't that make a lot of people in Singapore damn bloody rich?

Sigh..

I had this for dinner... =)

*No, 2 bowls of that*

I don't really want to work as a salesperson you know, so boring and tiring! No work = no $$$ coming into my a/c.

Which means that I need to withdraw $$ from my a/c which I HATE TO DO IT to buy Samsung Pixon and a bicycle.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna buy Pixon instead of OMNIA.

Heard there is Pink, but I don't think I will buy it because I think it would make the phone look kind of low class but but but I haven't really taken a look at it yet! I might change my mind! :D

I wanted to show this off to Samantha but I realised her score in GEO Challenge was already 6000+.

Toodlessssss!

*People out there! I need a job! Any recommendations?!?!?! Sales also can lah. =3 *

I know, contradicting.

And, I make my mark.

8:37 PM

Alrighty! Yesterday, I went out with Vivian and Samantha!

Uh huh, we caught 2 movies!

Love matters and Bride wars! :D

Okay, let me say that those 2 havent really been to "The Cathay" before and they got lost upon reaching Dhoby Ghaut station! I was already at Cathay waiting for them to come and I didn't know that both of them didn't been there before!!

Gosh, I thought I could rely on Samantha but in the end -.-

So we were late for the movie but luckily we only missed a few minutes of it!

Thereafter, we went to Plaza Singapura, Subway to fill our tummies! Boy, I was so hungry! I ordered this "Subway Club" 1 foot long because I knew 6 inch couldn't really fill like 1/2 of my stomach. I didn't order the whole meal because it's that 1 foot bread costed me $9.30 already! =\

Ahhh, that's Sam and I eating the 1 foot long Subway Club! YUM YUM YUM!

So if you were wondering how does a 6 inch bread look like, well here it is!

Yup, it looks like that.

1 foot long?

It's twice of the 6 inch one.

And after gobbling up mine, I even wanted to order another 1 foot long Subway Melt because it only fill like what, 1/2 of my stomach?! But but but! It was way too expensive so I passed that, if only someone sponsored me another $9.30 or so :DD

So we wandered around Plaza Singapura and we had nothing to do so we decided to stick to our previous which was to watch Bride Wars! Yup, so we checked the timing and got our tickets and straightaway entered the theatre which was Hall 5 again! This time, we were early for the movie and not late!

Oh, we did an embarassing thing. We were given the last row but it kind of stinked! So we went to seat further infront but I got that weird feeling that the seats were ALREADY taken...

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe

We went to the row further infront where 3 seats were already taken so we assumed that there wasn't going to be any people taking up that space. :D

Heng ah, I tell you.

We didn't get embarassed so much! *grins*

After the movies.. We wanted walked around here and there and wanted to grab a bite.

We ended up ordering Ice Monster :)

Ahhh, there you go people!

Let's end off with a picture of me with my FAVOURITE SHIRT! :)

Toodlesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

And, I make my mark.

11:45 PM

Last Saturday, I went for an outing for secondary school mates to have steamboat!!

Bah, Farhana was late and was almost late for an hour!! ;[

Upon her arrival, we proceeded onto Simei and dined at "Hans River".
Yup, so we chose our soup base and off to fill our hungry stomachs!!!

Ate quite a lot of rubbish again like uncooked food etc etc! Had some catching up with them and boy we must do this often! Next time we go kbox okay? :D

I ate of prawns you know! I went to take my 2nd serving of ice cream and tadah my whole plate of prawn shells were gone! The waitress took them away! When I needed them to clear my plates, they didn't. Yet when I don't need them to clear, they cleared away so quickly! Oh well, I wanted to take a picture of it and let you people see it!

No pictures taken during the steamboat because we were all busy eating and yaking at the same time. Then we proceeded onto Changi Airport, Terminal 3 since we had no where else to go! Joanne, Lee Ying and Rachel went back because they had something on. *sulk*

So we were left with the 4 of us! Farhana, Christine, Farhah and me as you can see the picture below!

Hahaha, look at my eyes for the one below. x)

Haha, see Farhah showing off her "artwork"! And did I mention how auntie my friends can get? They grab a whole chunk of paper back home! Eh eh, I only kope 1 hor.

Look at my face, I don't look that auntie alrighty!

More and more pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somehow, this picture looks kind of cute :DD

Thereafter, we wandered around aimlessly and somehow we found ourselves at Crystal Jade confectionery! I bought a Vanilla Swiss Roll and then I found myself looking at other varieties while I was muching onto the swiss roll, so Farhana treated me this Red Bean Bread. Aiyah, I don't know what is it called but the filling was not a lot though =\

Alrighty, that's all!

Let's hang out somemore okay people?

And, I make my mark.

3:22 PM

There's a mixture of pictures in this entry! Most of them are super duber overdued! =3

Okay, let me talk about last week's outing to Enterprise Faci's house! :)

Yeah, supposed to meet Vivian at Paya Lebar MRT Station at 10.30 but I was late lah :D
So we went to buy drinks for the BBQ at the shopping centre behind the station which is also the place for Singapore Post. We searched high and low for NTUC and at last we found it!

See my overall! Isn't it like the one Wilber Pan wore for his MV for 玩酷! Except the colour is reversed, like the part which was supposed to be black, mine was white.

Upon reaching his house, DANGER!

DOG IN THE HOUSE!!!

SIHT SHIT SHIT.

Luckily the dog wasn't a fierce one! If not I would had left the house! =3
Ate quite a lot of rubbish food during the BBQ like uncooked food etc..

Thereafter, we played BINGO! Robert got it for free when he bought 2 cans of Abalone!

See the 2 rede bodyguards there? Yeah, they're on duty in protecting Syafiqah and me from the DOG!

Tadah! A group photo without Colin and me inside because we both left early. I left to Bai Nian and had dinner on a wooden table of age 40. That's a lot of history for a table!

Okay right now..

These are photos of last day of school. Do take a look at Sam's face :)

With Science Faci! And would you take a look at Sam's face! You can click make it bigger!

:DD

Some candid moment!

And I shall end off with my 2 favourite pictures!!!

Index fingers! (which I have no idea why was that name formed by Vivian -.- )

This last picture which I realy like!

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Because ...

It didn't capture any flabby or fleshy parts of me!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And take a look at Vivian's expression too! Rather hilarious!!!

And, I make my mark.

12:29 AM

Here's a small update about CNY!

Yup, everyone went to my uncle's house which was at WOODLANDS for reunion dinner! It's just like going to school just that the journey is a wee bit shorter.

See the biggest bowl with the highest stack of food?

That's so called "Buddha Jump Over The Wall" ah.
Should be lah.

Lots of food in there!!!

I wore a really nice dress on day 1 but I didn't take any photo =(

But I only took 1 with my mom and it's in my aunt's camera! She hasn't send to my mom or anyone the pictures yet! Hopefully I'll look pretty in there okay? So that I can upload it here! :D

Oh! I also did wear another dress on Day 2!

Here you go! ^^

And to end off...

And, I make my mark.
