Summer holiday

It has been 2.5 weeks since I started work at Robinson's Raffles City. Robinson is a nice place and there are many angmoh tourist shop there, they are very hostile and always in an accented greeting "Hello dear" "Thank you. What a darhh-ling!" "Oh, excellent!" And I love those old angmoh tourist couples who are lovey-dovey, with pretty grey hair and sweet sweet smile on their faces.

In less than two weeks, I'll be back to my comfort zone. HOME. And I will start packing up my luggage for my 7 weeks stay in the United States. The tentative plan with the gang is to stay at Fei Chai's (Fei Chai is a new nickname for someone who has gained weight to 92kg!) aunt house in LA, then proceed to YinFong's sis home in woohoo Vegas..then check in to my so-called permanent residence, Rieber Hall. And I will leave the summer plan to Lionel aka "The Agent". hehe. It's good when you are young and able travel with the people you love and enjoying every moment of it. Reminds me of my high sch graduation trip to Pulau Tioman. We were nuts. We were high. And we enjoy the beautiful sunset. And we had the memories right at the back of our head. I so love my friends.

OK I gotta stop spending money in Singapore. Ditto. NO MORE the great singapore sale spree for me. It's all fei chai's fault la!!! The food and the jeans already cost me an arm...time to save $ liao..Today went to watch Pirates3. Shiok! As usual, Orlando is hawt!! Jack Sparrow reminds me of a mixture of YoonSeng+Jimmy. Haahaa. I miss em.

And to you Fei Chai, (if you happen to read this) who had given me so much laughter and time (and food!) for today, I thank you for that. Love the chocs =). Take care, enjoy the food back home and see ya soon!!

Were all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.
Were going where the sun shines brightly.
Were going where the sea is blue.
Weve seen it in the movies.
Now lets see if its true.
Everybody has a summer holiday.
Doing things they always wanted to.
So were going on a summer holiday.
To make our dreams come true.
For me and you.

What they say about..

Customer service: The customer is ALWAYS right. It's also right when you think they are wrong. Wrong in the sense of rudeness, arrogant and demanding behaviour. What we learnt about consumer behavior in uni, nah its all rubbish. I guess everyone is pretending to smile and be polite to the buyers. That's why I prefer working with cells or mice in the lab. At least they won't ask for a discount.

But the good thing is that time passes really fast during worktime. There's no time for me to stare in the space. There's always something to do by the command of my supervisor.

Today I realised that yuan lai "The Doughnut Factory" that Liren was talking about is at the basement of Raffles City. Well, he actually bought me a dozen of doughnuts from TDF during the pre-exam stress period to cheer me up. What a sweetheart...So everytime I see a doughnut I'll remember his face. Haha! And the doughnuts from TDF are very nice esp the choc covered ring ones. The ones with white flakes topping and raspberry/blueberry in the middle are too sweet for me..I bet Krispy Kreme taste better but it's not available in Singapore.

And oh mengapa??? Doolittle is out of AI :( I wanna see her in the finals. But nontheless, she is already a winner. The finale would be a bit different without her, ppl watch AI because of her presence..and her voice.

PS: Home soon. Exams results also out soon. *Double fingers-crossed* =S

Rush hour

So finally its weekend..Phew! Spent the first week of my vacation rushing back to KT and then back to Singapore. Then rush down to Sci Dean's office to collect some docs and rush back and forth to the US embassy..tired but finally, all immigration matters to the US were settled =) The US officer is really cool! He approved my visa in less than 3 minutes after interviewing me. Happy! YinFong, LiRen, Lionel, Felix, MeiChing etc...we goona soak up the Cali sun!!!

And I thought about going home today after sending almost 10 resumes to various company with no reply. After packing up, a phone call came from a consultant company. Asked me to go dwn town for an interview..hope I got the job la...being a slacker and doing nothing at home will make me fatz, a potato couch, bored and poor without income. Never and don't like to depend on my parents for $. They have given me too much in life.

Enjoying my vacation to the fullest!

PS: And my new job!

The Phantom of the Opera: Whoa...

"Whoa...! Whoo..! OMG!!" are the few words that I managed to utter out in the Esplanade Theater yesterday. I was literally mesmerized by the stage transition, the props, the actors and the oschestra!! Wah it's like watching a movie but in a 3D form...no words can describe the scenario..chio~~ Worth the $$, if you are a big musical/broadway fan ;D! My fav part of the show? It was when the Phantom "kidnapped" Christine away on boat towards his; sort of like dungeon-lookin-home.. yeap row a boat, on a lake, on stage with illuminating candles on the lake, which look damn real... Hope 'Marry Poppins: The Musical' will be in Singapore soon..

What a good way to release all the stress which has been in me for the past few weeks. Molecular Biology paper was tough..it was tough. Don't wanna talk bout it..I coincidently met Daniel outside the theater, said bye to Lina jie, then went for supper with him at Old Pasak. He belanja haha! Was stressed again when he kiasu-ly discussed his answers and I realised I did quite a few mistakes in molecular. Finally, asked him to shut up and eat his satay and stop talking about the stupid paper.

In 12 hours time, I will be snuggling under my blanket, with my bloster on a familiar bedspread. Wahahaha HOME SWEEEEET HOME. And is Daddy's birthday today. Whee family dinner =) Bought him 2 golf T and golf gloves. Dad's a big golf fan. Someday, ahem! when I am financially independent, I will get him the Tiger Woods nike golf clubs.. he's gonna flipped!!Hee~~

And friends from USM, UKM, UM, NTU etc...all back to Kt. HAPPY =)

H.O.L.I.D.A.Y

Ahh.. Labour Day with all the good holiday movies on Channel 5. And is a day where family spend their quality time together. I so MISS my family back home ~_~ When I was younger (I am still young now!) Dad will take the family out for movies, shopping and good food on public holidays.. Those were the moments.

But today, with such a beautiful weather, not that sunny nor rainy which is perfect for an outing with my family/friends, I am pathetically stuck in Blk18, lvl 5 room F in PGP with a stack of Metab and Molecular Bio notes :( What a "perfect" holiday.. On top of that, few of my friends had officially finished their 2nd year and I still got two more days to go ;( And my opposite cluster mate already went back to Penang, the other neighbour backpacked for a vacation, the whole cluster is half empty...arghh i also want my holidaess~~

Gggrrrr...Metab and Molecular, wo gen ni ping le!!!
