Wrapped Up March 2011

Today is my god-sister, Nurlinda Lee's bday. Sad to say she needs to work today as her surbodinates all went for dating and left her with no choice but to work on her bday. Plus her elder son not in town. Only her daughter remembers and wished her before she came to work.

I, being her sister, how can forget and missed her presents. Since now Sticky is so famous. So I decided to get one cute pack for her.

When she saw it, she say why you buy this? Somemore its pink colour. Hey, you did not see the picture meh? It is so cute. I thought you will love it.

Anyway, its thoughts that count. Even if she did not ate the sweets, but at least is my gift to her.

Knowing her for years, only recently she was addicted to online facebook. Wonder when she mastered that. Sometimes at night, she will use fb chats to chat with me.

Sometimes she will sms me. Frankly speaking, we became sisters was fate. She took care of us like mother when we worked under her. But strangely, I felt she is Sister more than Mother. So I asked if I can call her Jie. She also felt I am like her small sister. We are also very click. So she agreed.

Over the years, though we did not meet everyday. Not even once a week. But strangely, we are still that close and often will tease each other to show we are still alive. That is our way of communication.

Just want to tell her, if she happened to read this, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! :D

Finally the fearful day had arrived. After 2pm, verdict will be announced. Either find full time or part time job depends on what was the verdict.

As I do not wished to face it alone, I decided to meet Kaiting and Evonne. Firstly was also because, Kaiting's birthday is coming. So wanted to gave her present.

Secondly was also because, we very long never meet liaoz. But they came after I knew the results.

Unbelievable but expected, I was offered Diploma in Hotel and Hospitality Management from Republic Polytechnic. Will start class on 18 April 2011 if all went smoothly.

The moment I saw that sentence:
Dear Elaine Seah,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been offered [3 Yrs] RP - Hotel and Hospitality Management, R373 at Republic Polytechnic. An enrolment package will be mailed to you for you to indicate your course acceptance.

I was over the moon, That was really what I am feeling now. Had been trying for 2 years after graduated from ITE. Finally 7 years later after I graduated and worked in society. I am finally offered a course of my wish.

Though RP was not my first choice and I already prepared to go there to study. To be able to enter was already great news. Plus, my mother promise to support me on meals and transportation expenses. On top of that, I can use my cpf to pay off the tuition fees which is around $1100 per semester.

As for the supplement fees, i shall raise it when I found my part time job.

Thanks all who had helped me along the way, encourage me when I almost wanted to give up hope. I love you all. :D

Today is the first day of the registration. I woke up early in the morning just to catch early train and go for my registration hall.

Only to find out, the whole registration will only start next monday. Today will solely for the lappy reformating. I thought just bring my lappy to there and they could make wonders. Sad to say, they told me that I must have external CD rom as my lappy did not have an inbuilt drive.

What a shocking news. I was wondering if there is any place I can borrow and have it done soon. Also, I found that I cannot pay the registration fees in cash. I have to use nets. Even after I did the online enrolled, I still need eNets or credit cards to do online payments.

I also need a photo for the student ezlink card. So I went to deposit the money I borrowed from Mum and did online payment so as to secure my seat.

Afterwhich, I went to look for cheapest external DVD drive for my reformatting. Luckily I found it at Cash Converters which is selling at $45. Sad to say, I only have $30. Still short of $15.

No choice, I took another loan from mum. Luckily she have it. I will go down early morning to get it so that I can reformat my lappy on Monday. Thanks mummy for all the help rendered. :D

Today, bringing my lappy, external dvd drive, charger down for reformatting. Only to know all data will be cleaned off. I did not thought of backing up my songs, only backed up some files and saved in my email.

After they formatted at 12.30pm, all files, songs gone. The whole lappy looks brand new with the only that looks like mine was the student ID 115576.

As I brought with me the thumbdrive of the backed up to be transferred over and some websites saved in my email, I began to add back all the items one by one.

Looks like before school starts, I will have to keep uploading songs from all CDs. After did the formatting, all the neccessary steps for enrolment. I went to asked the information counter to double checked if I am really accepted by the school. He gave me a very positive answer and say, all the details on the class and stuffs will be given during the orientation camp 13-15 April.

I am so looking forward for the orientation now. Foolish me thought orientation camp are the camps that you have to stay in school for 3 days like what we did in Secondary school. Shows that I am very naive and foolish. :D

Today is Vday. It just another day to me till I found my Mr Right.

Some people say, even if its friends also can be celebrating Vday.

So the most suprising thing is, I got the roses from the company I will be ending my work soon. Sounds funny but it was my first time receiving rose. The feeling is WOW!

Just hope that soon I will find one soon. Right now, focus on aiming for my study plan. BGR can wait though I am already 27.

At times, I really wonder, why I should make myself so miserable today. Just because want to try something new. I went to meet someone I knew for sure we will never make it.

Am I just fooling around because I am really very lonely or am I just trying to give him one last chance to prove that we aren't compatable?

Met him at J8 for movie before heading for dinner. I do not wish to name him in here in case he read it. But even if he think I am saying about him, so be it. Cause we might not meet anymore.

Initially, his stingy attitute I am already used to it. I still remember the very first date at Pasta Mania. He ordered only pasta instead of meals with drinks for me as a treat. From then on, I never would want to ask for his treats as I jolly well knew that he will never fulfil the image of being gentleman.

True enough, he demanded me for treating him dinner and deny that he did say he wanted to treat me movie and dinner. How could he date me and ask me to pay?

Well, if he is serious in courting me, he should at least show me that he is a gentleman instead of asking me to foot half of the bill.

Anyway, dinner at Swenson was not a very pleasant one. He refused to order another plate of ice cream and insisted that banana split share is too much for one person to finish. Can you imagine that? Anyway, this is really going to be last chance. He ruined it himself. So don't blame me for giving him cold shoulder.

Today should be an usual Saturday but events had made it fruitful and not that bored.

First of all, I went to support belove Weiqian Jie's performance at Expo as promised. I was there a bit late as I underestimated the time taken to reach there.

The programme started on 1.30pm sharp and I was there at 1.45pm. Luckily the event had started not long ago. I took with me, a suprise for her. I told her about I will give her suprise today. She trying to trick me to tell what is the suprise on msn but I outsmart her by keeping mum.

It was a cute big donut for putting sweets or chocolates that can be place on table. I chose pink colour as I think she love pink as much as I do. As I notice her lappy is pink colour.

When I pass her that present, she was really very shocked. Maybe by the size. Than we proceed back to listen to her performance and of her friends performance. I just wished she will love the present I gave her.

She kept telling me why waste money when I already financial tight. I told her, its okay. Just a small gift and not that expensive afterall.

After the performance, I went to meet Evonne and Steven at Orchard as we headed down to outside Wisma to catch LGF performance.

Though there was some hiccups interval, nevertheless, they still did very great performance. I love watching them perform. It gave me a very relaxing feeling. All the worries, sorrows and even unhappiness can be chased away after you catch their performance. Happy for them with packed schedule here and there.

Even though I did not went down to support them often, they made a point to remember me and will always thank us for coming down to support them.

Thanks to Evonne for introduce such cool friends to me. Thanks for they effort in preparing for the special bday gift that the sent me online. I love it ttm!

What a wonderful Saturday!

If not for me happen to walk passed Sistic ticket office, I would have missed this great performance and also a chance to do some good deed.

For those who went today will knew what I am talking about.

Today was a performance of all the friends whom knew each other through SBC(former name for TCS) during the Talentime show.

Well, why I will make it down today is mainly due to, one of the performance is none other than Peter lao shi.

At first I did not even thought I will met one of Peter lao shi's friend who is also a singing teacher. I also did not expect to see Yvonne lao shi, Huishan and the two other students of MC to be the He Ying Tian Shi.

Peter lao shi do a kick start and he be the first to perform. I have to say it is really worth the ticket price. How many times you can enter Esplanade to listen to a concert where you get to see more than 5 stars? In this concert, you get to see almost 10 stars performing.

I finally realised, to stand on that stage really not easy. First you must conquer stage fright. Second, you must know how to react fast. I bet it will take me very long to actually mastered them.

Well done all the performers. Great performance and also well done audience who paid and did good deeds. The proceeds of this concert will goes to an old folks home for those poor or abandon old people. The nurses not only care for them at the Home. They also do house visits and medical services at home. Felt so happy after doing this good deeds. :D

(Wrapping up of the whole February, that is so much I did and gone through. Counting down to March 7 for the poly results to be known online after 2pm. Praying real hard that I can enter poly as wished. Thanks all who had helped me, encouraged me and supporting me morally. Deeply appreciated.)

But sad to say, I can only gave her my used mp3. She always willing to accept as she knew I do not have a lot of money. But the cake is a must. :D

I went to The Icing Room to do a mini cake for her. When I reached home, ate the dinner she prepared with traditional red eggs, I showed her the cake.

She was amazed by the size and kept asking where I bought. Though the design is not that nice. But its my thoughts that counts. Designer is me. So she cannot say not nice. Hahaha.
