Counting down to the days of my first TP test.  Having spent so much money on the lessons and the circuit practice, I really wished that I could have passed on my first TP. But seriously, I sucks at driving!

MAY- Failed my TP test terribly! I hit the pole when doing the vertical parking. Strike the kerb and lastly I did not manage to complete vertical parking within the time limit. And many more mistakes. Overall 2 immediate failures and many many points deducted! Chui! I have very nice friends, who tried cheering me and console me about the first failure. Thanks Wee Keong for his colourful jellybeans and Kashari for the childhood tic tac sweets!

And this month, I spent more time with my esplanade friends, joining them for late suppers. Those suppers session were a hell lot of laughter and fun. And Meng zhong got the girls especially and the guys hyped up in the UFO machines. My mila (Minnie+angela) and keyla (mickey+angela) are a happy couple now! I Love their big twinkling eyes and ears which shane called it the COOKIE ears! The bunch of us also went National Museum on 17May, Sunday. For the rest of them, it was a first time to NSM! And whats wrong with going to a Museum, it’s a chic and contemporary place. I am still trying to find time to visit ACM and the Peranankan museum. Under the suggestion of Simon, Alvin had organized a KTV session, a total of 8 pax "registered” for the Simon KTV slot. First time singing with 7 other people!

 


And finally I watched one of the greatest classic musical–CATS! This performance is named as the classic musical, therefore most of us were having high expectations of it. I enjoyed the music and the great orchestra of CATS, but the first time watching it, I couldn’t make out the storyline. Subsequently with the help of Wikipedia and other sites’s synopsis, I could understand the story better.


17 April 2009, my final role as a student – GRADUATE! Seriously speaking, convocation ceremony is boring, I was so tired and sleepy, trying to catch some winks during the ceremony. Stomach grumbling for the lunch reception at level 2!

Being frigging bored at work , so I decided to head back to my dearest LJ.

I have not been blogging for months, some changes to my boring and ordinary life.

January – Finally, I have found a job in the finance industry. Unexpectedly, I ended up in some un-reputable and small financial institution. The reason why I agreed to take up the position was as simple as time is running out, I can’t remain staying unemployed for 6 months, it will reflect badly on my resume. And the opportunity cost of staying unemployed and monetary rewards of being employed! And for a small company, the career development would be better, well that’s was what I thought!

Cinderella was shown in Esplanade, nice setting, the beautiful carriage, brought back some magical and fairytale elements into my life! Overall, it is an average performance- your typical fairytale and the expected HAPPILY EVER AFER ending.


What I am looking forward in January, is the HUAYI performance, 華麗上班族
生活與生存 , featuring 張艾嘉, 鄭元暢!! The first sitting at foyer stalls seat watching theatre performance, the last time that I was seated at circle 2, watching the FORBIDDEN CITY. The performance was a wee bit draggy, too much internal struggles and dialogue of the actors. And, of course the lightning glitches, that resulted in 2 intermissions for the performance, and patrons getting free flow of drinks on the house of Esplanade. Performance ended only at 12am, therefore the post show talked was cancelled, was rather disappointed about it. But overall, I like the main theme of the story, the corporate ladder climbing that result in playing tricks and plotting against one another to outwit, outlast and outplay the others to be the ultimate winners. I was rather disappointed in not able to present flowers to鄭元暢, such a hotie, every females also fighting to present to him, but was glad to be at the backstage to have a glimpse of the hotie! Tall and suave.



February- The Chinese New year family celebration was as boring as usual. The only difference was a chalet with the Esplanade peeps at the Aloha ECP during the CNY period.  The intruder caused some unhappiness at the chalet. I was rather surprised at my stamina of keeping awake till the next morning. I was very entertained by Seng Tat’s spoiled player‘s singing! That night was spent talking under the stars and moon was full of gossips and still gossips!

March- I guessed nothing special happened in March. Except a simple birthday dinner with family at JP’s 店小二 , featuring the crispy duckie meat! And a busy tuition schedule! My Monday and Tuesday are reserved for blasting, Wednesday is tuition with Zhao xing, Thursday and Friday are rest day. Saturdays are tuitions with Joey, Joan and Chester and rushing off to Esplanade. Sunday is tuition with Gigi and Giggs, sometimes afternoon will be reserved for Esplanade.  So I am very busy! Plus squeezing in driving lessons in the weekdays night or early morning weekend!

Usually when i meet someone i don't really like, the least thing that i could do is to twitch that cheek muscles of mine slightly and force a smile.
But when i see those that i wished that they never make any appearances in my life, how i really wished that i am allowed to use a broom to sweep them away or just click "delete" and they could be erased off from this space.
How i wished!
Luckily i have someone who is in the exactly same plight as me, only she can understand how much disturbance and annoyance we are in it.

How do we define being impolite and rude to others?
To me, being the real self, is being honest to others, and it is not being rude.
Why should i hide about how i feel about others?
If i don't welcome your presence, i just display how i should react, why should we/us end up being such hypocrites, putting such a false facade.
Such a deceptive appearance.

Anyway why such pain in the ass kind of person cant just get the hint and leave on their accord.
I have been waiting for months to see the end of this joke.
i cant stand your existence, cant you just leave for good.

if you are too blind and busy, i can lend you my pair of eyes, though not perfect eyesight, at least my eyes are bigger, i can see clearer. And i have a clearer mind.
Do you know, i do feel ashamed to be related to you in one or some ways, especially when i am being asked by others. All i can do is to give a dumb smile.

i want an end to all this nonsense.

( its okay if you don't understand what is happening, all that had happened were nonsense, that shouldn't have taken place at all in the first place. and i din know such great disturbance could be brought with the presence of intruder in my life)

In celebration of National Day 2008


Caricature drawings on the glass panels near the forecourts.
It was a pity that the glass panel was cleaned just few days after the National Day was over.
And i managed to catch the caricature artist  in action on National day, he was doing it as a National Day gifts for those who happen to be there.
The interesting thing about caricature drawing is you really have to exaggerate some features to bring out the essence of the person.



How i wished that my room were painted with stars on the walls like how these kids had done it on.
I will be in my room 24/7, except meal times and toilet breaks.


library@esplanade
spend my afternoon listening to cds, those songs just sound nicer when listened over there.
coldplay, the eagles, abba,death cab for cutie.

                             12 August 2008 Esplanade Concert Hall


 (photos credit to wxwayne taken from http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=404619)

i had no idea who they were, till i read that tickets were sold out within the first day of the sale of tickets.
Judging from its impressive tickets sale, i was eager to catch their performance!
I was very amazed at how the audiences cheered and started singing along when the band started playing the next song each time.
They knew all the lyrics by heart.
And they chant " we want more", "we want more" during encore.
I like the way they did the last song. Prefect ending.

For Beijing 2008, my eyes are glued to Michael Phelps.
Don't you just find this man amazing in the water.

Each time the tv will zoom in to the middle lane, and featured how Phelps was able to stay in the water before getting up in the water again and ahead of all of the other competitors.

The most exciting race got to be the men's 100m butterfly swimming, a second faster than Cavic, Phelps continued to grab his 7th gold medal. Though not with a world record this time. Being the fast is not enough, you got  to know how to win the race.



National Aquatics Center "Water cube"

And don't you wonder what songs was he listening in his ipod before each event.

What drives you?

“Dream as big as you can dream and anything is possible,” Phelps said. “I am sort of in a dream world. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it is real.”

Extraction of Wisdom tooth 10/07/08


actually my wisdom tooth was not a problem to me, i think the most it only aches once or twice.
but according to the doctor it is quite serious as it will affect the nerve, so it is a must to remove the right wisdom tooth.
and the doctor prescribed 7 different kinds of medicine for me, just because i told her i had past three histories of continuous bleeding after extraction of tooth.
even the pharmacist also find it too many.
This time round, the bleeding was much more manageable that i could even attend the refresher training at night.
And was chatting happily with friend about her bkk and phuket shopping spree.


i shall not post the yucky photo of my wisdom tooth.

Singapore Garden Festival 2008
This time round, i dragged fiona dearie with me to the event, so glad that she had made this trip for me.
And i am sure that she also had alot of fun on that wet rainy day! We went on the firs day of the event, hoping to catch the flowers at the freshest moments!
We were both busy snapping photos, and troubling over who to help us to take photos together, so most of the time we were trying to snap the background and our faces together. But we ended snapping our big faces in most photos.
And the lightning were a major headache, using digital cameras cant capture the true colours of those flowers unlike those digital slr.
These are like 5percent of the photos.







Then i headed to ikea to meet up with shuwen. In search of farewell present for sam, but most of the time i was contributing ideas for shuwen's personal shopping items. Hopefully that mini art gallery that she intend to put up works out perfect. This friend of mine has an artistic flair!


Camwhoring with those daisies!

Finally i got called up for an interview. I shall not named the company, but it is a reputable financial and media related company.
I had misinterpreted the timing wrongly, so i was late and when i stepped into the conference room, twenties odds heads were focusing on the speaker on the stage. The recruitment process was slightly different from the usual as the interviewers thave give a self-intro and short presentation.
Well, i haven't been doing any presentations since i left junior college. Those 3 years in SIM, i was seated and listening to my lectures' presentations all the while .
And to talk about myself infront of those people whom i have never seen or know before, it was rather nerve-breaking.
But i gave my best, trying to sell my personalities, my strengths. My presentation was not as impressive as the others speakers who boast about their overseas experience, current job experience in the financial sectors. Well, at least i did learn alot on that day.
And competition is tough out there.
Meanwhile i am not having any hopes on finding any jobs in the financial sectors, since the economy is at its slump. Only one idiot who tells me why not we try giving our resumes to the HR of the banks personally. And she told me that i was reading too much news, when i told her that banks are even retrenching instead of hiring.  I think she really need to tune herself with the real world, doesn't mean that the  department she is temp-ing with seems alright, the financial sector is similarly doing fine. There is a HUGE storm brewing in the global economy.

Well i do believe that a closed door will definitely lead to another open door of opportunity for me.
good luck, A N G E L A!
brighten up my path!
