oh my... it's been almost a month...

i'm back in starhub..
same job, same pay..
well...
and all the OTs included...

deprived myself of so much sleep that i have fallen sick..
hahaha...
it's all about the money..

the familiar faces still there,
but are leaving one by one..
will miss you all!!

anyways...
good news is that dom is getting married!!
and i am invited!!!
hahaha...
congrats bro!!

ya, there's something i wanna share with you guys..
due to the true mobile number portability hype recently,
a lot of disputes have arisen..
i feel that there has been a lack of or breakdown in communication between the 3 telcos..
customers have been informed via more than one channel yes..
but still they are ill-informed..
there's a whole lot of them who did not even know about this tmnp issue..
and here i am, with the rest of my colleagues,
trying to salvage the situation..
the problem is not with them not knowing about tmnp..
rather, it is with the telcos not being able to cope with the setback..
hai~~~

well, all in all,
i am working to feed UOL my tuition fees..
at least i am not lazing around at home with nothing to do..
till then,
take care!!

brothers and i bought a braun buffel wallet for father..
he is always carrying that so-out-of-fashion waist pouch wherever he goes..
even to restaurant!!
looks so weird lah...
anyway, he claims that he has a few other wallets yet to be used..
for god's sake, use them lah...
that's what wallets are for,
to be used, not put them in a lousy looking waist pouch...


min hui is getting bigger and bigger..
and i still don't dare to carry her..
what if i drop her accidentally??
omg cannot imagine lah..
lol....


started my 9 months contract back at starhub last night..
few familiar faces..
jackiey is leaving, neeky is not joining us..
double banked with vincent..
and he is leaving soon.. damn..
work is fine..
just forgot lots of stuff nia..
hahahaha..
guess i need some brushing up ba..
well, i do have 9 months to do just that..


just selected my modules for the coming academic year..
will be taking principles of accounting, managerial economics, management science methods and macroeconomics which will replaced by intoduction to business and management..
$4708 - that's the course fees for this coming year..
luckily still have enough savings to pay for it..
don't want father to pay lah..
rather he use his hard-earned money for holidays and what not..


jared was deliberating over having a 2 or 3 days school week..
i advised him to go for 3 days..
why?
because 2 days and no work will make him slack and nua..
3 days on the other hand can keep him active,
keep the brain juice going..
moreover, can go school to see vegetables..
vegetables that the market cannot offer..
more chances to see vegetables will result in a higher probability of chancing upon one that he likes..
and if it really goes in that direction, he can bring home and tell his mom,
"i got a vegetable that you can never buy from the market"
see, win-win solution...

i wanted to get a pair of havianas initially..
but ended up getting a pair of aldo slippers..
costed me $85..
dom and leon said that i was crazy,
spending so much on a pair of slippers..
c'mon, you take care of your hair, your bod, why not your feet too?
hahahaha..


was on my way out this afternoon,
and in that crowded and stuffy lrt...
there's this guy wearing singlet,
grabbing onto the grab-holds with both hands,
airing his hairy arm-pits for all to see lah...
wah kaoz...
luckily i was not standing near him..
exercise some consideration lah please..
so many people around you
and you can expose your crowning glory for all to see..
and i can see the sweat trickling down loh..
this is what emily would call "kan ni na beh, grossness"


anyhow, went ktv with sherlynn..
singing with her is always fun!!
hahaha..
bought a pink striped polo-tee for $29


oh ya..
i am taking calls at haw par again starting next monday..

i can finally smell the m-o-n-e-y..

attended my cousin's wedding dinner last sunday..
it was a beautiful night..

but looking at how the event was held,
i could not help but think about it..

why is it that almost every couple will thank their parents on stage?
it seems so customary..
not that i am being rude,
but why hasn't anyone talked about other issues?
hahaha...

i know father is kind of anti-social..
and my whole family is given a table to ourselves...
think that effectively states that we ARE anti-social doesn't it??
lol...

in sociology, Parson stated that the society exerts its influences and internalise the social norms into us,
thus socialising us into social beings..
so looking back at how the people at the wedding behave,
are they behaving that way because of the effects of social norm and control?
or are they exercising their relative freedom and authority to negotiate the event as per what Mead said?

blame me for studying sociology..


okay, enough of the crap..
met up with sherlynn yesterday..
you know, i've never been able to comprehend why couples cannot be friends after that broke up..
sherlynn and i shared beautiful memories together..
although we did not managed to carve out a future together,
we still remain close..
we will catch up with each other once in a while,
talk crap, bitch about our miseries and stuff..
hahaha..

anyways, went to her condo at lavender..
she stays at the 35th floor!!!
and the view is spectacular!!!
you can see the singapore flyer, the city, the kallang river, etc etc..
i can imagine the night view... amazing..

went vivo city to shop...
finally found a pair of slippers that i like!!
hahaha...
chanced upon a bar - brotzeit
it has like 20-30 kinds of beer,
plus it serves really yummy suasages!!

got to visit the place again this sunday with dom, leon and dine..
you won't get drunk there dine, so don't worry..

well well well,
it's the first day of june!

exams are finally over!!!!
think i fared pretty well for most of them,
except for the last paper..
but i'm not disappointed..
this is what you get when you don't put in enough effort..

a good fren called..
wanted to borrow 5k from me to bail out a friend..
omgggggg
spare me lahhhh.. hahahaha..
i agreed on 2k, payback in a month's time..
you know, money and friendship doesn't go hand in hand..
hahaha.. but i trust you lah..

anyways...
cleared up my room..
what a fucking mess it was..
lol..
i seriously have no idea how did i manage to mess up the room..
tons of waste thrown out..

sold off my NTU texts at bras basah complex..
at a miserable $30 for 10 books!!
and that's after lots of bargaining..
learnt some new driving tips though..
if you really need to change lanes on a taffic jammed orchard road,
you got to combine some aggressiveness with a bit of courtesy..
plus a good eye for opportunities to slot your drive into the desired lane..
hahaha..

managed to shave off 3kg from the 7kg i put on during exams..
call it a side effect of exams..
4kg more to go!!

it may be the holidats,
but i doubt if i'm going to get any..
i have decided to go back to starhub to work my ass off..
with mr leon in tow..
he's going crazy thinking about the OTs and more OTs..

planning to get:
1 pair of havaianas,
1 pair of jeans,
2 polo tees,
1 tee,
1 haversack bag (i promise i won't look like a tortoise)

next time anyone sees simon,
tell him to work more OTs first ya..
