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." =.=

Connie Talbot

How can you not love this little girl?

A 6 year old girl with a very sweet voice. This clip has her singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". =)

~Sick~

Throat infection, mild food poisoning, fever, very bad headache, severe drowsiness and giddiness due to "ear imbalance" and possibly because I sprained a muscle in my brain when I sneezed too hard, very bad cough, nausea, runny nose, sore throat, body ache....


How did I get so sick? Oh Lord, please help me. =(


Had BB exam today. And to think I sat for the paper despite having such a condition. I was sooo tempted to apply for Special Consideration (to resit the paper another time). I couldn't think at all. I know the paper wasn't difficult at all. In fact it was a no-brainer. If only I was in the condition to do it properly. Started falling ill last Thursday, then I got better during the weekends, and I fell really ill again on Monday. So from Monday to Tuesday (today), I couldn't study at all. Whatever I read, only 5% went into my brain. 95% of the time, I would be dozing off or staring into space as my head was feeling very heavy due to the drowsiness. Then during those awaking moments, I would occasionally do stupid things because my mind is not able to think properly.

Just today, did so many stupid things during the exam.

1) I've never bothered to look for my seat in the seating plan before exams as I know that I'm always at row #1 of BBMKG. So, somehow, I couldn't find the row today (I don't know why), so I headed to the invigilator's table to look at the seating plan, only to be chased away cuz there's a huge sign that says "OUT OF BOUNDS TO ALL CANDIDATES". I seriously don't know what I was doing. So another invigilator helped me look for my row. "Row 10,"she said. So I went to Row 10 and sat down at the nearest table. After awhile, I noticed a card on the table that says 5/165 and I thought it strange. Looked at the guy's card next to me and it says 3/040 and I figured it must mean Sem 3 student 40 as he is from my class. And after awhile, I suddenly remembered that I actually HAVE to look for my table number before sitting down. Oh no, the invigilators are giving out the question papers already. So I had to explain my situation and change seat immediately. So embarrassing?

2) Second thing, I brought my pencil case in and just put it on the table. I knew pencil cases are not allowed, so somehow my blur self just brought it in. The invigilator had to check my pencil case and tell me to put it away. =(

3) Third, no pens allowed during reading time. That I know. Still, my blur self took up a pen and just held it in my hand while I attempt to read. The same invigilator had to tell me to put it down. =(

4) And many other minor things....

=(

Went to the doctor at 8.45pm and reached home at 10pm. And the clinic is just across the road. That 1 hour of waiting felt like years as I wanted so badly to sleep but I could not. =(

Dr Sia gave me 2 days MC, and I think he must have thought my condition pretty bad. Usually he's very stingy with MC and only gives me 1 day MC for the day I go and see him even though I might be half dead.

Did some tests today. One of which is for giddiness. Dr Sia did the eye reaction test, and made me walk in a straight line, and did some body reaction tests as well. This reminds me so much of Aya in "One Litre of Tears". She did these tests too and she got spinocerebellar degeneration. =(

Right now I can only take antibiotics as I'm allergic to paracetamol. =(

Not being able to think properly is horrible. Feel so dumb all the time. =(


Get well soon (and very very soon) to ME!
