Wrapped Up April 2012 (1)

April Fool's Day! But today was not a fool's day as we are set to temple to pay respects to my wai gong and wai po.

After that we will slack at my uncle house for lunch and dinner. It is just a normal Sunday though it is mini family gathering where all the uncles will gather together and chit chats.

I cherish very much this moment as we only had this gathering twice a year. Once will be Chinese New Year and another will be like today, paying respect to Wai Gong and Wai Po.

030412 (Tuesday)
Today is a day where CBS will fly to Taipei for their new EP launch and do events there to tell whole Taipei that their EP was done! Actually I also do not really know what else they will be doing there. All I know was they will be there for 2 month plus!

It was really long since I last seen them. Glad that they have not forgotten me though I am not considered as their bao. :X

All the best in the singing career and I wish that they will be really famous in Taipei. I know I am not diehard fan of yours but certainly will feel happy for you both, Carrie and Diya, for making a success trip!

Take care, especially Diya! Hope everything will be smooth and steady!

Today is first day dry run for ISIP (International Student Immersion Program).

I was slightly late for the event but not the last person to be late.

Today was to test out the games and improve on it. Quite tiring especially when I do not have the habit of taking early breakfast.

Luckily it all ended at 1 plus and I took late lunch before rushing home for rest. I am the team leader but wasn't really sure what I should do that day. Hopefully I am able to perform well.

090412 (Monday)
Today is Day 2 dry run where almost all of the person who signed up will gather and prepared for tomorrow's ISIP.

Out of sudden, I am the game master. Given the choice, of course I will choose the easiest game to take charge.

I chose Scissors Paper Stone where they will mingle around and find partner to play, loser will follow winner till the end form one human chain. I will pick 10 students to ask for the name opposite or behind them. 3 points will be awarded for 7-10 correct answers.

We also played for a while after the short break and somehow know how does it works.

Tomorrow will be the day. I have to hang on and perform well.

100412 (Tuesday)
We were to assist in urshering. Some of them reached earlier than expected. After urshering, we have a short briefing and then start to set up our game booth.

The briefing for the students delayed hence their game time was shortened. Nevertheless, we managed to end it on the dot and the whole event went quite smooth.

It was new experience gained and I met many new friends. Great working with them and hope there will be chances like this for me to take part soon. :D

120412 (Thursday)
Today is a day where we collect our kitchen items and paid the remaining if we have not made full payment that day.

The safety shoes were very heavy and so was the knife set!

Spent sometime in school library before heading home. School terms starting soon and I am eager to know my time table.

My results was not bad where I got 3 C+ and 2 B's. I was shocked when my Marketing was a B and also my RDM. I was quite sad when my FA was a C+ and my HTM was also C+. I am contented when my Business Statistics was C+. Not bad actually :D

160412 (Monday)
Finally able to view my time table! First day of lesson will be to chef module! OMG!!! I am very excited at the same time scare. Heard a lot of myths that the chefs are all very fierce. Plus the items are all so heavy!

Friday will be HIS where I need to be in school at 8am! OMG~~~ :X

While shopping at Causeway Point as my movie Dark Flight will only start at 5.25pm, I received a call from my Mentor that my two H modules will be changed and will be updated in Leo tonight.

I really wonder who else was also affected. Not able to really record what are the modules being changed, I did not take it to heart.

Dark Flight was not bad movie. Quite scary. What a way to end my holiday with catching horror movie. :D

170412 (Tuesday)
We were told to attend the briefing at LR W4-B with all the equipments brought at 8.45am! Such early when the time table was actually 9.15am.

Due to train's fault some was late and the briefing started at 9am instead. Chef Soon will be our facilitator. He look very friendly. He slowly introduces all the rest of the chef and he want us to remember each and every chef's name. I guess I needed time. But their uniforms all have their names so I will try to remember. If cannot remember than just say Good Morning Chef. :D

We were briefed that by Week 5 we must be ready to run the kitchen as the restaurant will be open to public from Week 6! OMG!!!

Stress to the max! I shall pray hard that I do not miss any lesson and stay healthy till Week 15. The UTs will be all very different. UT1 and UT2 will be practical where we will be tested to make soup base and also to make one main course. As for UT3, it will be paper UT with no notes to be brought and no laptops allowed.

Sounds so difficult! Hope I can pass this module and no need to repeat at all.

180412 (Wednesday)
2nd day of school already stress! Today is another Chef teaching us Culinary Science and Kitchen Operations, the facilitator is Chef Shunsuke! Coincidence that our facilitator were both soon. :D

He is also another friendly chap but we could not make out his accent at times as he is a pure Japanese facilitator. Nevertheless, he is very funny.

Today's presentation was a little different where we presented at our seat to Chef Shun. :P Hopefully I did not failed the presentation as I was very nervous.

While I was refreshing the Leo, to my shocked I only had two modules available! God's know who will be my clasmates for Friday's module where two of my H modules were replaced by one H module and one B module. Later I found out the the H module is Service Quality and Professional Etiquette. The names in the class schedule, only one name is familiar, the rest were all new to me. Hopefully they are easy going and hopefully this module will not be that stress.

190412 (Thursday)
3rd day of school and today is Microeconomics! Oh gosh!

Demand and supply are back to be my friend. I never hope to have econs as one of my module but sad to say, we have no choice.

Today than I realised, I am the lucky one to have both Microeconomics and Management Accounting in the same semester from this class! Consider lucky?

Heard from the faci, it will be tough fight for having MA and Microeconomics at the same semester! That makes me even more stress! I guess I will have to buy chicken essence real soon!

Oh yes! Forgotten to say, this faci of mine is Miss Delphine and she looks like one of the students more than facilitator. Well, hopefully she can ease my way through the UTs. :X

200412 (Friday)
TGIF but nothing to be happy about after knowing only 4 of us are from Year 2 while the rest are Year 3!

What a wonderful combi!

Next Monday, I am the only alien from DHHM where the rest of the class are DCSRM! Wonderful arrangement. Anyway, saw the facilitator name is Esmond, wonder how he looks like.

Heard myths that MA was tough! OMG! SQPE (Service Quality and Professional Etiquette) was equally tough too. :X

That ends my first week of school reopens! Stress to the max! How to pass this semester, I really do not know. I need HELP!!! :X

Wrapped Up March 2012 (2)

070312 (Wednesday)
Just when I thought I would never found a temporary job, I received a call for an interview yesterday.

I was asked to meet Miss Sherry at one of the office Times Centre. Not knowing what job it was really plus I needed a job badly, I decided to accept the offer.

I was told it will be a easy job with the pay of $6 per hour. Sounds quite impossible that I would take as I usually take when the job pays $6.50 at least. If not for the circumstances that force me, I guess I would never say yes.

She said she will send me an email with the forms attached. I needed to print it and completed it before handing it to my supervisor on my first day of work which will be on 10 March 2012. Reporting time will be 10am.

Pray hard it will be not difficult job. For the sake of money, I agree without finding out that it is a coolie job.

100312 (Saturday)
If not for this job, I wouldn't know that there is warehouse books sale located so near me. First day of work, everything is new for me. I was told to arrange the books on the table and shelfs.

Now then I realised that there are more things for me to learn. I have to report at work at 9.30am instead of 10am as stated and work ends at 9pm instead of 7pm as stated.

In short, I was conned to work in there. Anyway, it was something new for me as I had never worked in bookstores, neither have I worked in warehouse.

Whole day till lunch break, I was arranging books and stacking books. Luckily time passes quite fast today. Not that tiring as it seems but a lot to remember though. Pray hard that tomorrow will be a better day for me.

110312 (Sunday)
What a Sunday! I have to spend my time taking out price tags and paste color tags. Carrying cartons by cartons.

I have also to learn different catagories for Non-fiction books! How to?

To be frank, if not being force, I doubt I will pick up a book and read. Though at times, I will have an urge to have a fiction book on hand.

Today ended to be tiring as I have to arrange shelves and pasting color tags. Carrying up and down cartons~~~ I will hang on till 18 March 2012 as that was end of warehouse sale. I believe I can.

120312 (Monday)
Days get tougher when they keep telling me to stack books that I do not even know where to place them. As they are all busy doing cashiering, I just tried my best to place them accordingly.

It is natural for not able to remember them plus it was my 3rd day at work. With no experience and no prior knowledge, how am I suppose to know where are those books and what are the catagories?

I would rather they send me go inside and stick color tags which will be easier.

130312 (Tuesday)
How long more can I endure? I really hope I can hang on. Endless of books to be shelves, endless leaflets to be given out. But then, to be assign to give leaflets will mark that I am able to slack for an hour and have my lunch outside.

But then, when come back have to continue with endless stacking. That's not even cool! Well, hang on! The warehouse sale will soon come to an end!

140312 (Wednesday)
At last it is finally a day off for me! I can have my good rest and not thinking of all the books!

Since I do not wish to stay home, I decided to catch a movie instead. What movie shall I catch then? Oh yes! I wanted to catch that movie very long ago!

Although it was quite expensive to catch at night but it is a promise that I made to myself to at least catch it once! Finally, I am able to catch it. Felt super contented. So much not wanting to go back work tomorrow but then, I have to.

150312 (Thursday)
Today, I made a decision, I do not wish to work till 17 April 2012 as promise. I could not take it anymore. I wanted to end as early as possible.

I could not imagine myself in the expo doing stacking and shelving of books, let alone remember where the things will be place.

Sad to say, my supervisor do not wish to talk to me yet. The rest thought I wanted to leave as I know I could not remember things well.

But then, the main reason was I do not wish to torture myself further. Plus, I have ISIP from 7-10 April 2012. Hence I am unable to assist in the Expo sale.

160312 (Friday)
When everyone was shouting TGIF, I was counting down days to my last day of work!

I always believe, when I have to drag my feet to work, it will be time I say bye bye to my workplace.

True enough I have this longing that I wanted to say bye bye right away when the date is 18 March 2012. But reality does not allow me and I have to be with them till I have finish my task to prepare them for the Expo sale.

Endless stacking and endless sticking! I was really being conned to work!

170312 (Saturday)
Finally 2nd last day of the warehouse sale and I can say bye bye to stacking of books, giving out flyers and endless of standing!!!

I should thank god that I do not needed to learn cashiering.

But then, why do they need to rush me on pasting the stickers when I have more than enough time to complete them? I have a feeling that they are simply just wanting to torture me to the max! Somebody please save me from agony!

Tomorrow hopefully will be better day for me.

180312 (Sunday)
Can you imagine how much I am looking forward for today? Last day of giving flyers and stacking of books!

This job simply does not suit me. I am just somebody who applied for a wrong job at the wrong timing. But what's awaiting for me tomorrow will be disaster which I could never expected.

190312 (Monday)
I could never imagine that they can be two sided faces. When in front of me, they look nice person. Behind me, they are saying bad things about me.

Well, they simply do not have empathy I guess. Someone who have never worked in bookstores before and know nothing about shelves, how fast can I work? You asked me to paste yellow stickers for books that was less than US$10, so I have to be careful and look at the price if unsure. Plus I really have ample time doing so. But why rush me to do and throw me alone to carry cartons?

We are all paid $6 per hour, but they are doing less things than me and do not need to carry cartons like I does, than why complaint I am slow?

There was no one there to teach me how to differentiate what catagories they belong to, so how am I suppose to know then?

Same pay but they are all slacking. So unfair. Yet I cannot say no as there was no one to supervise us and I was only 2 days later than them. Faster come, my last day of working! I soon unable to endure it!

200312 (Tuesday)
So sad, initially was scheduled to be end work at 7pm but they tell me go back at 6pm. Loss $6 just like that where I can not say no.

They continue to torture me by asking me to stack cartons which is higher than me. Yet I was asked to do it fast!

Oh boy! How can anyone survive this agony? Due to this, I think I have hurt my back. After lunch was more cartons to carry and carry! They treated me as though I am paid coolie. If not for the sake of money to pay for the uniform and bills, I doubt I will just walk out.

Counting down 10 days to end my agony! What was consider lucky will be, now it will be a 5-day job where I finally can have my weekends back! Which means, I can have my brunch on Saturday back! Celebrate!!! :D

210312 (Wednesday)
Two more days to Friday! I have to take off next week! Hence I took off next Tuesday.

Again, I was being treated as coolie where I carry cartons here and there. Today was even worst!

Initially I was asked to paste price tags with one of the staff. End up, I have to put the books into cartons from the shelves and have to pack them according to color tags. How fast can someone do when you need to differentiate from color tags and price tags and there are 2 different color tags, for goodness sake!

I am already doing quite fast yet they say I am SLOW! I am human not robot. I do not have experience moving house and that gal have! No prior experience, what you expect?

I am really hoping next week faster come!

220312 (Thursday)
Why is it only Thursday? Endless of packing, endless of pasting! Endless of carrying! They expect I am robot!

Maybe they should hire a robot and not human!

Someone please save me!

230312 (Friday)
I cannot express how thankful I am that it is FRIDAY!

But then, I can never escape from being tortured by them. How to have TGIF when I am paid peanuts but work like a coolie?

Hence, I decided to take one more day off next week to shorten my agony. Which means, I will be left with 3 days of agony before I say BYE BYE to this coolie job!

260312 (Monday)
Words cannot express how I love today!

No need to work like coolie and I can have my time today going school or go out for shopping!

Happy Monday! I also can choose to catch movie too! Woohooo

Tomorrow will be special day for me. :P

270312 (Tuesday)
Why do I say today is special day? I finally have courage to give myself chance to test if I am suitable to be emcee.

I guess it takes a lot of courage to go through this. Furthermore, since the last time I had entered singing competition, it's been years since I last have the courage to go for audition.

But I guess I will not be selected as I did not do well. Anyway, it was an experience gained and I will not lose anything at all. :D

280312 (Wednesday)
Last three days to go! Today was not very happy as I was being accused of taking books without permission!

She was the one who saw me taking and she gave me approval. She also took things back without asking. Furthermore, the book are from the bin where they threw all defect books. I am just taking it and not taking new books.

Why he need to be so rude to me? Even his apologise also sound so insincere. I can never imagine, they were like my friends in the first place but soon they like mastered the Chuan Ju's face changing, attitudes were total different!

Now I just wish Friday faster come! Not to mention that I am coolie today also. Doing cartons of books! Can imagine 20-30 cartons of books weighing almost 20kgs? No one to help. Think by Friday, I probably needed to visit sinseh for my back or my wrist!

290312 (Thursday)
2nd last day!

Today was even worst than any other days. They really are torturing me! Ask me to clear 22 shelves by 1 hour! How can? When you needed to split them into Yellow tags, Red tags and Price tags! Even robots also unable. Plus you need me to stack them nicely in the boxes and not to 'injured' the books when they are being transferred to Expo.

Plus I needed to do my own cartons! They keep talking behind my back and using fake names to think I wasn't smart to guess that they are saying me SLOW!

Trying my best and slogging till I almost fainted! Packing cartons and cartons, yet no empathy and not even saying good job for helping! I really looking forward for tomorrow!

300312 (Friday)
TGIF!!! Finally, a day I had been waiting for!

But today will not passed that easy! Knowing it was my last day, they continued to make me even more like coolie!

I have not only to complete the shelves which I have not cleared yesterday, I have to cleared the big business books before lunch!

I really need 1000 hands to be able to get that done!

Luckily I managed to clear them slightly 10mins after lunch!

More work to come! I have to cleared all the Young readers shelves before I go home today! Since they keep bullying me, I shall do some tricks on them. Few cartons will filled with two books that does not belong to the catagories. Afterall, human can make mistakes.

Initially it was really mistakes made when I took few books at a time. How am I to have luxury time to go through each and every books to see if they are yellow tag, red tag or price tag! They were the one who kept telling me PACK FASTER! So please do not blame me for that.

When clock stikes 6pm, it's end of my agony! Bye bye to coolie life!

(What a March holiday I had! Memories which I really do not wish to remembered! Luckily it was all ended!)

Today is last day of February. It was day 7 of the holiday. Yet I am unable to secure a temporary job. Wish to go back to Income to work but they are looking for more than 3 months vacation job seekers.

Well, that can only spells that I am too late to apply. Let fate decide where I should work temporary. Resumes sent but none got back. Time really tight as I only left 1 month plus to start my new term and I needed money for the uniform and stuffs.

Last options will be to borrow from my mother if really unable to find job. Praying hard I can get high pay temporary job soon~~~ :X

This month nothing really exciting happened. Ever since my poor netbook was beyond repaired, I guess nothing will make me happy. May I meet a rich man and he will give me what I wish for. :D

Bye bye February and Hello March~~~ :P

Today is also SOH first sports day~~~ Although it says it is compulsory to be present for non-competitors. As usual, there will be alot not following and yet, there will never be punishment. Anyway, as a scaredy cat, I turned up and was super early as I thought we have to be there at 8am sharp!

Today is also a day I will receive a special belated present from lao gong~~~ It is cute Doreamon handphone pouch and a box of sweet~~~ Love lao gong ttm!!! Thanks for brighten my day. :D

The sports day ended with heavy rain but still I managed to reach the bus stop not drenched. Consider lucky. Well, hope they can have a better event next round where we do not need to wake up so early and go for this event that early. 8am is really killing me. Well, maybe if they held at 10am, maybe if they held at school, probably more people will turn up, I guess. :D

Finally, it was last day of Year 1 Semester 2. A bit sad as this class will be splitted. Happy as I will have ample time to rebuild my notes to prepare for UT3.

I know I had been thanking each and everyone every now and then. Apart from saying thanks, I am unable to express my gratitude towards them. I guess the best gift I can give them will be me doing my very best for UT3 and achieving the best results.

Had arranged for help from various facilitators for rebuilding notes and refreshing my memories. I promise that I will do my best and achieve the best that I can.

Happy last day of lesson~~~ :D Cherishing the time I had and trying my very best to rebuild my confidence~~~ :X

Feeling slightly better today, again it was Business Statistics. This round, I tried my best to concentrate and slowly catching up. Hoping this way will chase my moody and shine some light for me to continue my studies.

But with the school laptop, I could not download anything, not even msn. How am I able to survive? Hopefully soon I will be able to get a replacement for my lappy. But of course, I wish I can have a new netbook as my own netbook was beyond repaired.

Right now, I do not even wish that person will even say sorry to me or even compensate me for the loss. I just wish I can get over this semester as I am only left few weeks more to end this semester.

I think the only challenge will be how am I to redo all the notes for the upcoming Understanding Tests. Anyway, tomorrow will be RDM UT2. I really do not know how am I to study when I lost all my precious notes.

120112 (Thursday)
Today is RDM UT2 at W65C. I doubt I can make it to achieve good results. Hence, I do not pinned hope that I will get B. Luckily, it will be open notes test where we can refer to 6Ps. Just pray that I am able to find answers from them and tide through this UT.

Before the start of UT, I approached Mr Lazzerine to discuss my laptop problem with him. He suggested that I write an email to Mr Ross to arrange a meet up with him at the same time brief him through what had happened.

Till this moment, I did not even mentioned his name. Am I being too soft hearted and let him off? I doubt so. It was due to, I knew even if said the whole story, I will never get any apologise nor any compensation. To him, it was just a small matter and he didn't even care.

As UT will be starting soon, I am unable to use internet to send email, I decided to use my iphone to send him an email. Mr Ross was fast and he agreed to meet me tomorrow during lunch time around 1pm plus.

Keeping my finger crossed that I am able to tide through till my replacement reach my hand. I am happy to have many friends and facilitators who are willing to lend a helping hand to me.

130112 (Friday)
Laptop problem have to be solved soon and I really hope by meeting my mentor, Mr Ross, I am able to ease some sorrow.

Thanks to Mr Ross who agreed to offer help for me to extend the loan of the laptop for me to tide through my remaining UTs. He is very friendly and approachable. I am fortunate to be his mentee. Although he say maybe need to pay for the extension but I am more than glad to know that I am able to extend the loan till I got my replacement laptop from YH where she got from her friend.

But first, I needed to forward him the loan laptop email so that he can email to the person in charge for extending the loan of laptop. The matter was solved fast and within minutes, I am able to extend the loan till end of this month. So I can have ample time to restore things in the replacement laptop and at the same time coping with my UTs.

At least right now, there are some lights shine to me. Thanks to various people, firstly will be Miss Tan where she lend a listening ear and advice me, next will be Mr Lazzerine who encourages me to move on and things will be solve soon, finally will be Mr Ross who helped me with the extension of loan of laptop. Not to forget, Steffi and Yee Hong for helping me source for replacement laptop.

Although I could not promise that I am able to get over it soon. But I will try to get over it and lead my usual life. Keeping my finger crossed that I am able to handle it and pass my UTs with at least C+.

Thank god, I just got my replacement laptop today. But in order for making it work, I need to send for laptop for configuration. By doing this, I need to have my charger.

The configuration was done before my UT, today consider a happy day for me. Meanwhile, I will be trying my best to rebuild my notes and get over the matter.

Thanks all who offer help.

Since 2010, today will be most sad day for me. Not cause anything will be happening today. Just due to, today was my Grandmother, my mother's mother's death anniversary. I know it was usually counted using lunar calendar but I only wish to remember using normal calendar.

I also know, no matter how sad I am, she was already gone. I also know that she no longer need to lie on the bed not able to move and feed using tube. No longer need to feel the darkness as she had lost her sense of sight, taste and hearing.

In the time that she can no longer see, hear, taste and even speak, how is she going to keep on surviving. At times I really wish I can tell her, if she wish to leave us, she can. But when it was reality, I could not take it. I know my mother is even more devasted than me. I also know, I have to be strong so that my mother will be able to get over.

But waipo was the only grandparent I have in this world who watched me grow up. How am I to bear for her to leave us. All the more, she left us so sudden and without us by her bedside.

I can still remember that day when she was being sent for crementation, I could not bear to see the coffin being sent in. In fact, no one would be able to take it by watching your love one being place inside the coffin and being rowed in.

I do not know when I will not feel sad. I just know I am unable to feel happy whenever this day this date came.

That is part of the reason why I hate January and do not wish there is January on the calendar now.

Today is my birthday. Today is also special day as we have special lesson for our FA. Two classes combined and having meeting 1 in a lecture hall whereby we did some activities to understand today's lesson.

We only allowed to go back to our respective class after lunch break. It was not a bad experience. Something out of the usual PBL. Can be interesting if you like to have some games involved and some competition on the spot.

Although it is my birthday, ever since my waipo passed away, I decided not to celebrate. Till when I decided to celebrate, I do not know.

At first Maslinda wanted to give me a mini celebration but was turned down by me. Even though there wasn't any celebration, friends around me will still send me greetings online and also on phone messenges.

The only person was kept in the dark was the facilitators. Anyway, since the day I decided not to have any celebration, I do not hope for any greetings to be received. Neither do I pin hope for any presents.

To me right now, today is just another day. Right now, it is a day for me to return my laptop. Once again, thanks to each and everyone who helped me so that I can tide over this crisis. Today, met him, he say Happy Birthday to me. The feeling was very awkward. I do not know why but it is really not good feeling either. Anyway, thanks. :D

Today is also my 'twin' sister Belinda's birthday. Coincidencely, we were in the same hospital, borned on the same month, date and year! Same ITE with same course and same part time job!

(This is how I got over January 2012. What a bad way to get over. I think whenever I felt that it will not be a good month, strangely, something will be happening. So does that mean, I should never celebrate my birthday ever again? Well, just let nature takes his course. Keep my finger crossed that things will get better soon. :P )
