Random stuff

Funny that I'm blogging less during my hols than when I'm having my exams! 24 hours seems so insufficient now. I have SO MUCH I wanna do all day.

Anyways, my 6th uncle said he would take me and Kh to some northen part of thailand, north of udon to do some trekking and maybe camping as well! WOOHOO! Initially the plan was to visit Laos as well but I'm not sure if we've time for that. I've only 5 days at Udon man. There's just too much to do.

Looking forward to my thailand trip (15th dec). I've got another 5 days at Bangkok. Gonna do a bit of research on the places of interest. Ya know I don't intend to shop all 5 days. My hotel is in the Pratunam area. If anything, I'll be sick of shopping I suppose.

Was doing MTM duty at church last week. Kh and I decided to do some drawing during our free time. Heh. And I thought my art was bad....

*ACTUAL PICTURE*

Mine... he gave me 4/10.

And gave himself 6/10. =.=

Kh: More points for abstract.
Me: =.=

And I also baked carrot cake on sunday. hehe.

Butter, brown sugar, plain flour, wholemeal flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, 6 eggs lightly beaten, 2 carrots (grated). Ah, sorry no pic of the end product. It was snapped up too quickly. >.<" Please imagine for yourself a nice brown carrot cake, slightly crispy on the outside, fluffy yet a little moist inside.

And now I can solve the Rubiks cube in 2.40mins! Okay that's really slow compared to some of the rest but ya know I used to hate this darn cube. The fact that I can solve it is an achievement to me already. Hah.

Try deciphering this message!

Woot! Another game!

Yesterday Kh and I suddenly had an impulse to buy our new favourite game, Traders of Genoa. Went all the way to PI at Midpoint Orchard to get it, but it was out of stock!!! $%@!# We felt like buying something anyway, so Kh bought Citadels. Another game to our collection! =)

Not exactly my favourite game, but it's no doubt the most popular game at PI and Settlers. Very popular among guys especially. Have experienced times when I teach a group of guys this game, and they end up playing this over and over again the whole night. And before they leave they would ask me where they can get this game. That's how popular it is. Don't ask me why. I really don't know. I believe it is a guy thing. =X

Anyway it's so cheap. $35 for the whole pack plus expansion! Other card games like this can cost like $40-$50+, without expansion, and they're not even that popular to begin with. I can actually buy this from Settlers with staff discount but Kh just couldn't wait. zzz

Anyway, it looks like I'll be slogging my head off @ Settlers this holiday again. Was thinking of getting other higher paying jobs like (eeks!) telemarketing, but Za has put me on 36-hour shifts this week. It's so much more than I've expected. More worth it to work there now since I've got a pay rise already. Though the pay is still very pathetic, it's better than nothing!

Believe it or not, I only found out about my pay rise last month. Apparently, I had been getting it for a couple of months and I did not know it. CY and Terence didn't think it was necessary to inform me. In CY's own words,"We were not told that we have to inform you of your pay rise."

Hello? If I do not even know, then what's the point of raising my pay in the first place? Isn't it suppose to be some form of motivation? I had to knock some sense into those guys.

Btw, just realise that all the jobs I've had are very different. Hmm so typical of me... A jack of all trades, master of none. Sighs~

1) Packer (Giant, Expo Sale)

2) Sales Assistant/Cashier (Robinsons, Ladies Dept)

3) Mystery Shopper (ACNielsen)

4) Admin Assistant (Starhub, Corporate Finance)

5) Private Tutor

6) Senior Cafe Executive (Settlers @ Katong)

And I've also realised how fortunate I am to be able to work with Kh for 4 out of these 6 jobs. =D

I do love working (definitely much more than studying). And I'm proud to be financially independent. =)

Random pics!

Yes I'm very bored. So here's some random pics!

Hello Kitty pancake. Made it for my sis the other day cuz she was hungry. VERY HARD to make! Need a very precise amount of fire, time, and pancake mix to make it like this.

Saw this at JB a couple of weeks ago. Look how fake it is. =X

Saw this at another shop in JB. Apparently is the trend there now. It's even faker den the first one. Black, and made of semi-plastic material. Should rename itself,"I AM a plastic bag." =.=
