Misfortune has come upon the Jangs!!

Just yesterday, my bro's handphone and wallet got stolen by some cheena worker while playing basketball!!

Be it coincidence or what, the bus broke down on my way to work today and Sheila's handphone got stolen in the crowded MRT cabin by some cheena workers too !!

However, after all the unfortunate events, something good did happen.

Someone actually found my bro's wallet and came down all the way to my doorstep to return him the wallet. Though he din manage to get back the cash, all the important documents are untouched.

Arr.. So I guess something good will happen to me and my sis soon ya?

Tired is the word to describe what I'm feeling right now. Ever since I started work at Alexandra, I need to wake up at 7am and get out of the house at 7.45 so that I don't miss the 8am bus. Work was rather ok. Started to undergo training, learning about things I never knew about insurance. People there are rather friendly and one of my secondary school CCA mate happen to work there as a temp. Guess that the world is really that small. Everyone's connected in someway or another.

Yesterday was Geneviel's 'mun yue' celebration. It was held at Civil Service Club. Geneviel is my one of cousins, Grace's daughter which indirectly makes me her aunt. Most of my cousins are already in their late twenties or early thirties married with kids. Some of my cousins thought I'm still schooling. They commented that how time flies. It seems that we were still kids when they last saw us and now that we have all grown up.

Grace tried to pair me up with of one of her husband's junior in the airforce. I was like -_- . She finds pleasure in doing this kind of things. Haha. The situation was rather funny. Nothing really came out of it but it was an interesting experience.

I'll leave everything to fate. No use pairing me with someone who I totally have no ideal who he is or what kind of person he is. Even if it takes me a lifetime to find the person whom I really like and likes me back, I'll wait.

Life's all about waiting all the good things to happen. I'm waiting too.

Went uniSIM open house with Wenz yesterday. Saw Erjun at Clementi MRt, one the EEE club guy I knew during my SAC days in SP. Coincidentally, he's going for the open house too.

The open house was so-so. Went for the talks on Business courses which I might consider taking when I am eligible to register. Never knew that I would see familiar faces in SIM but I met my sec school orchestra senior there!! She din change much but she commented that I changed alot. Chatted with her awhile and found out that she is taking a Australia Business degree in SIM. She advised me to take a full time course instead of a part time one. I knew its tough to juggle between work and studies but I could not afford to take up a full time course. Maybe if I manage to strike lottery, then I might consider taking a full time course. Haha.

After the open house, we cracked our brains to think of where to go. Wanted to ask Agnes out for Hooters chicken wings but she's going JB with DX that night. In the end, we decided to so KTV again to sing our hearts out. Haha. We felt that the session last Saturday wasn't enough to cure our craving for KTV.

And now I'm here tying my thoughts out. I am usually a lazy bum on a Sunday but I managed to wake up early today. Now when mom's not around, all the responsibilities of having a clean house all falls on me! Did the usual vacuuming and mopping plus washing of clothes.

I am feeling kind of tired now but that isn't going to stop me from going out to meet the FYP pals for dinner later!! I hope all of us would be present this time round.

Time for me to get changed and get out of the house!

I got the job at AIA Alexandra!! I knew I would from the way the interviewers look and spoke to me. Practice makes perfect. My experience gained through going for many interviews certainly helps.

My last day at AIA Tower would be this coming Tuesday and I am told to report at Alexandra A&H Department the following day. No time is wasted. I hope I am able to meet nice colleagues there, just like those in the SRT team. Whatever it is, I'll make the best of what may come to me. I understand that no one can stay in the so called comfort zone forever. So, now its time for me to step out and explore.

Although I'm only like transferring to another branch to work, I still decided to buy farewell gifts for colleagues whom I had work with directly. It has always been a habit of mine to give little gifts to friends on special occasions, so it won't be any different now. Spent quite alot on those gifts but I had no regrets. I just love spending on people whom are worth my attention.

May my last 2 days at AIA Tower be smooth sailing and that the farewell dinner with the other SRT gals goes on as planned.

Weekends are here again!! Time for more enjoyment and catching up with friends~

I guess its sent unintentionally.

Perhaps the one you want to send to the name happens to begin with 'L' and you sent wrongly.

The funny thing is it makes my heart skip for awhile which I thought I wouldn't anymore.

But I'll take it as its sent unintentionally, it makes me feel better that way.

Everything takes time la..

Now its back to reality!!

Gonna be jobless soon...!!

Interview this morning at AIA Alexandra was good but had no ideal if they want me. I got cheated. The HR told me its a perm position but the interviewer told me it would be on a contract basis and they would only convert me if I'm good.

However, I'm rather keen on taking up the position though it means I have to double my transportation fees and traveling time. Its just a customer service assistant position but it would be a good learning experience.

I would face objections from my family again if I take up a job on a contract basis. They would say "Get a perm job is better.. more stable..Got bonus..blah..blah..". But I just have to believe in myself and go for what I want.

At the end of the day, its still me who's going to face the problems and deal with everything. All things that happen have their pros and cons, its just the way you look at them.

Saturday was well spent, a day of non stop entertainment.

Went BBDC to attend my 1st basic theory lesson. Blury me had no ideal where to take the shuttle bus from Bukit Gombak MRT. I took a cab to the center instead. I was already late for the lesson. I just went into the classroom without printing that slip of paper that is required. Imagine how embarrass I felt. Anyway, lesson was ok. At least, I managed to stay awake throughout.

After the lesson, I took a cab back to the MRT. Now, I figured out how to walk to the center by observing what route the taxi driver took. I guess walking is still much faster than waiting for the shuttle bus. The journey from Bukit Gombak to PS was soo long.

Watched The Maid with Nana and Ru. Its a rather nice and funny show. Not as scarey as it seems but certain scenes kind of freaks me off. After the movie, we went over to the Partyworld at Hello Shop for KTV!! This time round, we have Wenz and Agnes with us. Had lots of fun singing our hearts out.

Seems that nowadays my last stop before heading home is bound to be some place to chill. We settled ourselves at Coffee Club. Ordered my favorite Iced Mocha. As usual, we would just talk about anything, from work to gossips.

I had been enjoying this regular chilling sessions with close poly gfs. I hope we could continue to do so but somehow we will come to a time where all of us start to get busy with our own life again.

But whatever it is, as long as we have each other in our hearts, the friendship would still be there. We won't just get disconnected by not keeping regular contact.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could in one click, delete all the unpleasant memories permanently from our brain ? Just like how we always discard any unwanted items in our computer to the recycle bin.

Before its too late, let me say Happy 40th Birthday Singapore!!

My national day is spent chilling up at home with my family. I woke up at 1pm today and like 1/2 of the day is gone! Had lunch at the hawker centre with my bro and sisters and surprisingly I can't finish my plate of chicken rice. I found too oily. I guess I'm becoming more health conscious?

Its a family tradition for us to have a feast while watching the national day parade. Usually, we would like cook something but this year round, we ordered pizza hut.

Yearly, we would await for the display of fireworks from Kalling stadium. Thinking that its at the Padang this year, we won't be able to get to see them. To our surprise, we were actually able to! Managed to take a few snap shots of the fireworks but only 2 of them are nice enough to be displayed.

That's all about national day.

Shall update on what I did for the past few days. Was busy chilling and meeting up with friends from Friday to Monday.

Friday
Went Citylink's Nooch to celebrate Ru's birthday. Most of the poly gfs were present: Jiahui, Karen, Nana, Puayeng,Agnes and her bf and not forgetting me.

After dinner at nooch, we felt that its still early to head for home and went cartel to chill instead. Had a great time chatting and cracking jokes. Most importantly, was that the birthday gal enjoyed herself.

Saturday
The whole day was spent enjoying. Waicheng and me had a date with Charlie and the chocolate factory at PS GV. Haha. Both of us enjoyed the movie alot though some parts are simply too lame especially the parts where the small little people started to sing and dance.

Waicheng left around 6 plus and I went over to Kino to read some books before meeting up with Agnes. Agnes came and we went to Far East Esteller for dinner. We wander around Fareast for sometime and make our way to HMV for 'free' music. Haha.

After all the free music, we stood outside Somerset's Bossini to wait for Wen to end her work. We killed time by watching cars on the road, making Agnes identify the cars for me.

Suppose to go Xzotic, this KTV pub, at Clarkequay or Boatquay(I always get confuse over the 2 places) to look for Agnes's friend ,Evonne. The place was fully packed when we reached there. The crowd there was kind of.. old. But well, we will get old some day and maybe I will visit there to chill next time. There are other KTV pubs along that stretch too. Came across this Xmosphere or something like that makes me wonder why they like to name the pubs with 'X' something. Haha.

Thought we could like get a seat in Cafe Iguana or Bull's Eye. There's no more food orders at Cafe Iguana and Bull Eye's is closing. In the end, we gave Hooters a try. As what Agnes said, we never regretted it. Great place for chicken wings and chilling up. Haha. I gonna go there for more!! However, drinks are kind of expensive there but overall the atmosphere is good.

Hooters

I gonna explore new places to chill during saturdays nights and I guess the restaurants along the Clarkequay or Boatquay stretch gonna be my favorite haunt soon!

After so much talking about learning how to drive, I finally enrolled myself to Bukit Batok Driving Center!! I'm so excited about learning how to drive. I chose BBDC coz I'm more of a MRT than a bus person. If given a choice to reach any destination by bus or train, I would choose the latter. That makes me wonder why do I even bother to learn how to drive since I love taking train so much.

However, to drive and to let people drive you around is a totally different feeling. I guess I wana experiene the freedom of driving.

I took leave yesterday to BBDC. Since Agnes isn't working now, I made her accompany me to BBDC. Just so happen that her bf, Dexian, was off too and he offered to drive us there. So I met up with them at Bukit Gombat MRT and DX drove us there. I'm practically in love with DX's RX 8.

Upon settling all the enrollment stuff, we went over to IMM to look for Wen to collect my stuffs from her. We had a late lunch at PS Ajisen and at the same time look for Ru's birthday present.

In the end, we couldn't get anything for her from there and went to Cityhall instead. Lucky us, we managed to get something for her at Suntect. Hope she likes it~. Parted with them at around 6 plus and I proceed to Bugis to meet Sheila for dinner.

Driving course books

Tibits Agnes gave me, most of them are what I used to eat when I was young. Childhood memories!!

Last but not least, DX's RX 8 and me.

Can I ever get to drive my dream car in my life?

Drive me crazy~

Both Friday and Saturday are spent shopping and chilling at cafes.

Went to this cafe at Pacific plaza on Friday with Baoqi. Had this green tea smoothie. Its really unique and very nice....!! Recently, I'm like into buying CDs. I just bought Corraine's May album last week and now I got myself Alica Key's album.

Yesterday, met up with Wenz after her work. Went Centerpoint's Levis to get the top that I had been eyeing. Lucky me managed to get the size i wanted and its the last piece...! Had our dinner at Cine's Long John and we proceed to Taka to get Wenz's comic. Saw Baoqi as she's working in Kino. She look so cute in the apron! Haha.

Both of us were choosing between going California Bistro or Cafe Iguna to chill. In the end, we decided on Cafe Iguna at Riverside Point. When we got there. the place was like packed with people. It looks more like a restrauant bar then a cafe. In the end, we settled ourselves at a open air cafe named Bull's Eye.

Bull's Eye

Its a pretty nice cafe. We spent about $10 each on drinks, snacks and desserts. The chilling out session was great. Been long since we actually just chill, talk lame stuff and our dreams as well. I just hope that both of us and friends around me could achieve what we want in life and live happily without caring how others see us. The most important thing is that we are comfortable and happy with ourselves.

I'm so looking forward to achieve what I want in life step by step. Its going to be tough but I just want to go for it. At least I give it a try ya!

Who knows, I might open my own cafe in like 10 years time?
