so today was my first day at work.
signed the contract and done with orientation.
so my experience...
it's training day today with 4 others.
and i think i already dislike one?
haha. this biatch. he was so eager.
i swear you would just roll your eyes like i did.
he was excessively excited and overly enthusiastic.
it was like... dude. keep your feet grounded! it's only day 1!
i can't wait for the day he gives up and waves the white flag.
and that disappointed face on his look will be totally satisfying.
i know i'm mean but he's really annoying.
it's like he's so excited about the products and can't wait to learn.
it's much like a party pooper.
alright. maybe because i know what it's like and what to expect..
and i seriously think he's way over enthusiastic about the job.
but anyhow, sort of ganged up with this other guy.
and we totally understood how that guy was just way over.
so yeah. i think i got off on a good start.
this other girl... she's a lil bit like a dumb chink.
note: i didn't say blonde cos she's not fit to be one.i wonder if she's acting innocent or if she really is.
like seriously. what a primary sch kid would know she doesn't!
like the simplest of knowledge went by her without her noticing.
basically she's quite dumb. i wonder how long she'll last.
oh yeah. everyone's a full-timer.
the other girl was alright. she's humble and quite fun.
i guess it is due to her roots. party people and warm. :)
i like her. she doesn't overdo things...
especially on the first day!
so training was a lil dry and boring.
we went over the product specs for the ipods.
kinda exhaustive but not quite the full depth.
knocked me out tired because i already had that product knowledge.
so it was really a terrible day if not for some laughter here and there.
saw corey and johnson and well, it's heartwarming knowing someone around.
and i miss how we're like family at the it shows!
realised those who used to work in the store weren't there anymore.
kinda stinks when you work somewhere not knowing anyone.
but still, thankfully, the people are younger and i suppose should be more fun.
except for some weird ones that i don't know why they got employed.
ok i think i was being really mean.
i could have exaggerated things a lil.
but well... i needed to bitch and rant so there that was.
met babes for dinner in town after work, shopped a lil and went home.
was really tired. my feet! they hurt! and i haven't started standing the whole day yet.
oh wells. another boring day tmr! just more work!
and i may meet jean for lunch tmr! yayy!
and wala wala at night! YAYYY!
goodnights!

hello hello!
i should start updating before my perth friends start yelling at me.
nothing much has been happening.
i went running last night with jk.
and i think it wasn't quite running.
since i gave up halfway!
i suck man. haha. that's what obesity does to you.
but i'll snap out of it quick.
omg! it's less than a week to leanna's departure!
it's already almost a month since kris and sarah left!
i told them time would have flown and it did!
oh yeah. and i've booked my flights!
oh how i wish i was going to study..
so all my friends can come send me off..
but nahhs. i'm just going for a month's holiday.
perfecto still. :D
i'm in the midst of planning my trip.
i don't want to waste my one month.
so i've been doing some research..
finding out what there is to do in SFO and LAX!
awesome loads of things in LA.

oh yeah. haven't mentioned...
my bros and i leave on the 1st of december.
while my parents leave on the 21st.
we both arrive on the day of our departure in SFO
and we leave together on the 1st of jan..
arriving 3rd jan midnight/early morning singapore time.
i'm pretty psyched.
but there's really lots of planning and working hard.
i so need to earn money to that i can spend there!
just realised all the attractions and commuting may cost us a lot.
so i guess as a big sister, it's time for me to be more hardworking.
anyhows, i've yet to speak to my aunt about sponsoring my studies.
i don't know how to break the news to her..
i'm still waiting for the appropriate time.
i figured it's too soon from the last time i've talked to her.
i think i should work for a month or two and speak to her again.
that way after working for awhile, i should have decided...
and then with my US trip to reinforce my decision, i think i'm all set.
it's gonna be a lot of money! but i wish to go!
it's my dream! :( ok we'll see how it works out.
set my mind to it....
oh yeah!
just on monday night.
picked amanda up last minute after i already left the house...
and headed over to leanna's.
figured.. since i've got the car and i may not get to meet her much before she leaves,
why not just pop by her place since she was home.
so we hung out for a bit! and she called sarah/kris! so we chat for a bit.
and then later picked nick cheng up for supper at jalan kayu!
yayy! and i think it was a fruitful session.
helping nick with his problems by giving suggestions and hearing him out.
and just having fun chit chatting and recollecting the old times!
it was a fabulous time.
hahahas. i bet kris and sarah were just drooling on the other end.
TOO BAD! BLEAH.
i'm currently at jk's place while he's at work.
oh how common it has become.
i've been reading up lonely planet.
and also reading emails and shit. *yawns.
waiting for amanda to finish her driving lesson.
could just meet up with her after this.
i am bored. now. lazy. aching. stupid run. pffft.
lalalaalalla. nothing exciting lahhh. bye.
