the flu and cough is pretty much gone now, thank god.so im beginning to like work a lot. there are 3 'sections'. the candy bar[the place you buy your food from], the box office[the place you buy your tickets from] and the floor[the usher and the 'float'(people walking around pretending to be working)]. for the past week i did the box office section and it was okay. actually it was good. anything that has to do with the action of sitting down in an air conditioned place is better than okay by me.
and today i did the floor section job thingy. i am so happy cos i managed to watch 50 first dates, dawn of the dead, kill bill vol2 and a bit of passion of the christ. and i actually get paid to do this?! so there is a god.
singaporeans are a whole lot of funny people. and that is pretty much all i have to say for today.
i'm just itching to spend money that i dont have.

i am so sick.as in sneezing 8 times in a row every 5 minutes. as in coughing up phleghm. as in that throbbing headache that doesnt seem to go away.
yeah you get the idea. i took mc from work today and my boss was being a bitch. in fact, a lot of people are being bitches for no reason at all. sure, i totally understand my status as the 'hey! hang out with me only when you need me then just totally ignore me like i never existed!' girl.
im tired of being used. im just really, really tired of everything.
i tried to make myself feel better by dyeing and cutting my hair DIY-style. i seriously doubt my plan of having longer hair will ever come true, i swear. plus the whole heatwave shit going on in singapore now. just now it rained and it was still warm. so the world is ending soon. not that im not in hell already.
and yeah. dont fucking approach me for a conversation on msn if you're going to take forever to reply each time. it fucking pisses me off.
after all, everyone belongs to everyone else.

today was my first off day and i spent it sleeping in.yesterday at work they put up a huge troy movie poster and it was really nice looking. with brad pitt on it, what isnt nice dammit. i was sighing after they finally finished putting it up. after work the bapoks suprised me by picking me up [ok so what if they just happened to be in the area] so sweet. i miss those bitches. they are in the midst of exams so i dont really see them much.
i watched starsky and hutch with my homie ain last wed. i know some people who know some people who rob some people. funniest line in the movie. ain was loud as always. people were like always looking in our direction. we're going to have some sort of celebration next friday [cake, food, the works!] i cannot wait. better apply for off soon [haha]
i dont know why but i feel like i really have to watch dawn of the dead.
i am having the worse sore throat ever. my voice is kinda raspy-like [sexy even, IN MY OPINION haha kidding bitches]. it hurts dammit. plus tomorrow i have to work. hope i dont lose it [my voice i mean].
next thursday=pay day. dont you just hate me.

ok so here's the story.work is alright but very tiring. i dont mind the part where i'm at the counter, selling food but it's the cleaning up part that i absolutely hate. at home i dont really do the household chores and all [i'm an only child. what dya expect me to do? mop the floor?] so besides the cleanin up of the machines, work is fine so far.
friday and saturday was a killer. it was so so crowded and you have to work extra fast. and then while i was serving a couple who were deciding whether or not they want extra cheese on their nachos or not, i looked up at the box office [the place where you buy the movie tickets] and this guy who was my dad's age was wearing a black strokes tshirt! [i have the red one]. me being the world's biggest [figuratively and maybe literally] strokes fan, i just went 'oh my god!' i mean, he was my dad's age and shit. and the couple i was serving thought i was talking to them and i had to apologise. but seriously, i was shocked. maybe it's his son's or daughter's or something.
talking bout the strokes i really think mtv should stop playing their videos and stick to playing avril lavigne, busted and other crappy ass 'punkrock' bands.
ok back to describing my workplace. i swear im never eating nachos again. having have made probably 10 containers of fondue [that's cheese dip for you imbeciles], i shiver at the mere sight of it, not to mention the smell. i also popped popcorn in the popper today. [haha i did that on purpose] that bit was fun.
the people there are friendly enough i guess. i'm not one for starting conversations with people i hardly know but they were nice enough to talk to me [i can get very quiet sometimes (hah!)] but it can get really boring, when there's nobody to serve and nothing to be done. i'm one of the few malay workers there, so the rest are chinese. i will end up drinking vanilla coke [we get unlimited supply of the drinks there. admit it you're jealous] on the floor of our locker room.
today was the first time i was working the morning shift. it's almost virtually empty in the morning, except for a few groups of senior citizens. very relaxing. i like.
this is a really long update, probably to make up for my future lack of updates. i'm a busy working woman, see. [heh] anyways i dont have anything to say anymore.
except that i have the worst case of flu in the entire universe.
and
this blog turns a year old today.

after 3 days in malaysia, i will not complain about the public toilets here ever again i swear.the trip was alright i guess. the reason why im not really complaining bout it is because i managed to shop a bit. got the pair of shoes that i want and that topshop shades i almost bought a week ago. the only really good parts of the trip was going to klcc, going to this place called colmar something or another and the beach at mersing.
we left singapore around midnight on thursday [so technically it was friday already]. we reached kuala lumpur at around 11am and stopped for a bit of shopping. klcc was great. the place was huge. i had dim sum [yummy]. we reached our resort at bukit tinggi [pahang] at around 3. we bathed and relaxed for a bit before going for dinner at some unknown place that miraculously had mcdonald's. me and my cousins opted eating there and oh my god, the service sucked. the place was air-conditioned and there were so many flies. after dinner we went back to the resort to bowl and me and nabillah opted to play games at the arcade instead. after that we went back to our suites and watched tv and slept.
the next morning we ate breakfast and went to visit a rabbit farm, a japanese tea garden and the colmar something or another place. the visit to the rabbit farm was cute cos there were alot of baby rabbits running about [although i was too busy running away from them most of the time] i managed to capture on video a horny male rabbit that went around humping 4 other female[i think] rabbits. sooooooo cute. ain told me to go into animal porn production.
the japanese tea garden was hot and boring. the colmar place was a small replica of a french village. it was beautiful. the food was great also although the service was very very slow gaaaaaah.
after that we drove to mersing in johor. the drive there was sooo long. 4 hours driving in the dark dark forest. i couldnt sleep for some reason and was bored to tears. the only thing i could do was stare at the trees and hey, you've seen one tree you've seen them all right? we finally reached mersing and stayed at some hotel and i had a good sleep.
the next morning we went to the beach! it was so beautiful. the water was clear, not dirty like in spore. and there were so many jellyfish and hermit crabs! the hermit crabs were cute and we collected and put them in a bottle, but had to return them before we left. the water was warm to the skin and it was very hot. i got sunburnt/sunburned and im now very very dark. but it was worth it.
we then packed and was on our way to angsana for a few hours of shopping. oh my god that place is horrible. i thought singapore's mats and minahs were bad but the ones there were much worse. everybody [and i do mean that] were wearing tapered jeans and black converse [imitation!] shoes. and the punks there are laughable[very much like the punks here]. me and nabillah went to this shoe shop cos i wanted to get my shoes and i was askign this really cute guy who worked there the price. what a pity! he couldnt understand english! i didnt think people like this still existed. how can a person not understand 'how much does this cost?' so that was that. i got the shoes and left.
we then left to eat dinner at this seafood place by the sea. that was great as well. didnt feel like malaysia, it felt like i was back in singapore. after dinner we headed back to singapore. home sweet home!
first thing i did was go to my toilet and took the best crap of my life.
so that was my trip. and now the skin on my face is peeling and i have a sunburnt/sunburned pimple on my nose. woohoo.
anyway guess what? i got a job at gv tampines! i start on thursday and i'm nervous as fuck.
pictures will be up soon i hope.

tomorrow i will leave for malaysia and i will only return on sunday. dont miss me bitches.i almost spent 30 bucks on a pair of shades yesterday. went to town with zahriah, nurul and balqis. i bought a new bag online for 15 bucks and im quite happy with that, cos the retail price was $45. but unfortunately, i succumbed to finally having a peanut butter sandwich after almost a year long peanut butter fast. which resulted in a pimple. on my nose!. luckily for acnacyl [this really good pimple cream] it's pretty much gone now.
today nurul and zahriah came to my place to chill after their school ended. yes, i've stopped attending classes [yeay]. me and zahriah went to the rooftop of my block to erm, enjoy the view [hah.] then i was forced to satisfy their vain urges and surrendered my camera to them, bloody witches.
i think they should come to my house more often. so i get my lazy ass to rest more.
singapore is finally showing the o.c. meaning that i can stop downloading it on kazaa. but i wont stop cos singapore's prob gonna censor a few scenes because singapore is ruled by stupid close minded people. sometimes i just hate being singaporean. okay, more than just sometimes.
kham, im so so sorry for your loss and i really do hope you will feel better.
dont you sometimes wish that you could just get life over and done with? it's like this feeling you get when you dread going to sleep because then the next day you wake up and you know you will feel the same as you did before you slept. empty. plain and simple. like you have nothing to look forward to?
yeah.

awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
she was crawling and fell asleep on the kitchen floor. how fucking cute is that. i miss this little chicken chop.
so yesterday i caught the last bit of the miss singapore finals on the bus on my way home. when they announced that girl who won i was like thinking that i must have seen her recently. then i realised that wow! she looks exactly like 2/3 of the chinese girls i have seen in my 18 years on planet earth! so much for originality.
so i am going to ngee ann. and i am going to miss my bapok posse to death. this had better be worth it.
and dude? way too much info. nobody wants to know that shit.

im trying very hard not to let the negative air around me affect me much, but it isnt bloody working.i managed to get a place in the fsv course [yeay!] i dont know though. im not as elated as im supposed to be? maybe it's because im semi-depressed, for whatever reasons i dont know. but it's like this annoying whispering voice at the back of my head, making awful comparisons, always there to keep me reminded of my many flaws. im awfully paranoid of late, also. i hope it's just a pms related issue, really.
in other news: 3 day shopping vacation next friday!
i hate curry with so much passion it would suprise you.
