Pictures!

This is Stephy and me in the locker area room toliet before the lousy dnd! We both excited abt the event but when we reached, all the stalls closed already.=( No glamourshots/poker games to play.

Us in the ballroom, waiting for the show and food!

Some pics of narcissist me.=)
In the music school waiting for my student to come. Bored.

hehehehh. no puking pls.I bite.

I need to sleep moreee.

Worked 7 days since my last rest day and finally its my off day again today. I was so thankful for this off day tt i cancelled a violin lesson with one of my students and slept away most of the day. Yesterday was dinner and dance. Thought tt it would be fun butdisappointingly, the games stall and glamourshot studio was closed by the time me and steph made our way there. I want to play roulettee and take glamour shot. i wannnnt.the casino theme was evident in the decoration of the ballroom, with laser light decorations flashing in the entrance, neon colored tiny lightbulbs lining the stage and red carpets covering the floors. Quite nicee. But i felt tt the programmes of the event were quite pathetic, lacking in entertainment value..the mc was trying his best tocreate the ambience and atmosphere, but other than the jokes and lucky draws, there wasnt any other programmes that interest me eh. Okay..the food was not bad though. haha. There was oysters and scallops!! satays, lamp chop was not bad too. And i love their mini durian tarts and bread and butter custard. People were busy eating when the bosses of swissotel and raffles the plazawere making their thankyou speeches. Me included. Steph laughed at me when i so readily agreed to go takke more satays in the midst of the speeches.I was bored cann. I wore my wetseal pink tube tt day. It was freaking cold in there, luckily i brought my jackket along. Mei xiang dao that my tube and skinnies was considered quite dressed up ald. I saw pple in jeans and tee shirts. =)

Work was quite okay. I have to admit that time pretty much flies when u are working in the spa. Especially when u have a million of things to do besides checking in guests for treatments and gym. Lets say..if u answer a phone call for a reservation, it would take maybe like 10mins for u to talk to her/him and book the appt in e syystem? So if 3 calls come in, half and hour would have gone past, and u also have to attend to guests coming up to the front desk to chheck in for their appointments. Not only spa users, there are gym people as well as people playing tennis. Pretty much saw some cute guys too. ha ha!=P Saw more people than i ever did in my 22+ years of life, came across impatient pple, nice people, rude people, snobby people, weird people, shy people. Example of impatient guest: was attending to this indian guest. And he wanted a sports massage asap. So with him tapping his feet impatiently, i booked the appt, but the system was slow and while frantically trying to get the appt into the timetable so tt i could check in this guy and get him to pay, i saw his face get blacker.shitted. So my dear mummy came to my rescue and asked him how would he like to make payment. He was pretty much offended and a "of cos i could afford to pay , its just tt u snailey people are making me wait!" look flashed across his face. Pui. System slow mah..hang wat. So what could we do ? Smile apologetically lor.and he wanted to make payment later..but the com miracoeusly recovered and the mastercard receipt popped out of the payment machine. He sprinted off even b4 he took the locker key needed for him to change into his robe and slippers for the massage. Was quite a frustrating moment and at e same time comical to me. My mother said to me,"Girl, all kinds of people exist in this world. Just take it with a pinch of salt and do ur work, no need to get too affected in these kinda situations. Its work, just deal wif it professionally. " Shes wise indeed! Easy to say hard to do eh..but im getting better already. Just dont let people bully!! I hood anyone who bullies me! haha. Talking nonsense already. Wheres my forever21 red dress..and asos dress. Drat the sprees. Forever so slow. Im going to sleep soon. Off tomorrow to the battlefield. I need to watch moviess, go singing and catch up with friends. im out of touch with the world since i started work.

This was taken after dinner and dance, at 12am i think. Drat my eyebags. I need sleeep.

Orh Chehs and aching muscles and adapting to work.

Hey peeps, me back. haha. So lazy to update since i started working. Am on 5am-1pm shift today and tmr, so im heading bk to work actually in 5 hrs time.=)

Updates of my mediocre life...nothing musch actually. I went kayaking with a fren on sat. Was on 5am-1pm shift tt day and after tat, went meetup and off we head to ecp. Was quite shagged but miraceously..miracleously, how do u spell that. argh, i managed to drag myself to kayaak. ha. Bought two pair of boxers in isetan. I love wearing boxers, so airy and comfy.=))

My last kayak trip before tis was last year, and this was my third time kayaking, pretty much enjoyed the breeze and sun!! Im v poor thing can. No matter how hard i try to paddle, the kayak doesn seem to move!! took quite a few turns of oaring to move the kayak when my ahem.. partner decides to not oar, choosing to smirk at my mediocre arm strength instead. Puuii. Anyway, luckily he was there la. ha. Saves me much energy! and i'll prob paddle nearnear to the shoreline and not like wat we did: travel farfar away from the shore. Something really embarrassing happened after we reached shore. We decided to tilt the boat sideways to clear it of water. annnd. when i tried to lift the kayak, its weight dragged me down instead and down i went, face first piak into the front seat of the kayak, with my legs bent and folded up like a frog, feet pointing skywards. And boy does it hurt!! Face blue black, legs blue black and my fren was trying not to laugh when he asked if i was okay. Damn malu caaan. I too found it really funnny amidst the bruising and pain, was laughing and wincing at the same time. Haiya! Damn.

Went bathe and ate satay plus mee pok n sugar cane juice at a nearby food centre. Food does really taste good after exercising! Its really been ages since i felt so alive. Perhaps i shld do this more often.=) With much crapping and gibbering and nonsensing and philosophical-ing , we walked a loooong distance to parkway again. For more shopping. And soon, it was time to head home. i had a great time..=)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work updates.

Hmm, its my 7th day at work le. Im now more used to the chim chim computer system that they use. And my skill of smiling whenever i spot a guest had improved tremendously. haha. So the next step's to smile and at the same time try to make conversation with the guests. Its quite hard for me to do that actually. If i help them check in, or explain details of the various kind of treatments like scrubs, body wraps, waxing, massages to them, i will appear to be serious. I cant like..smile and explain at e same time. So i hope to be able to multi task! Like what my "mummy Jeanne"(me attached to her for a month) says, being gso(guest service officer) is like being a octopus, i have ever seen her answering a call, and at e same time, pulling out sign-in form for a guest who wants to sign in for gym and alsoo at the same time, ppull out a locker key for another guest who wants a locker to put his stuff. Amazing eh? Hmm, the colleagues are really nice people who mothers me and come to my rescue whenever i get "stuck". I remembered tt there was once when a guest came up to the counter and asked" where are the toliets" Guess what i told her? "Sorrie mam, pls hold on while i check with my colleague" and right in front of the guest, i asked Sri" eh..where are e toliets are?" "In the spa, jacuzzi area lo" Dumb can! I know where e toliets are actually, its just that my brain could not find the correct piece of information at that time when the guest asked. I just blanked out. Another incident , there was a guest who wanted to know abt the closing hours of the spa and gym. Knowing well tt it closes at 11pm, i found myself saying"Oh, the gym closes at 1130pm" and before i could recify my error, he hung up. And my mummy was apparently v amused.=_+ "Y u know spa closes at 11pm u go tell guest close at 1130pm? I dunno why i did that!! Is there any scientific reason or explanation?? I have poor coordination maybe. ughhh. Been wearing false lashies to work lately. Much easier than mascara.=) and its prettier! and i got compliments from dear colleague steph.heeheeeee. Shall wear them to dnd too. Its coming up on the 22nd aug. My first dnd. So pretty excited over it.=)

Hmm, mind blank blank now de. Dunno what esle to write abt. Shall blog if anything esle comes to my mind then. Tata peeps!=)

I will update soon okie.

V tired from orientation! The talks from the heads of depts like marketing, hr, security, f%b were all packed into the 2 and a half days. I was supposed to start work today but i have nt been assigned to a senior to undergo training yet. so i went home at abt 230 today.=) Tmr is national day. But i gotta work. Its my first ph tt im working. Argh. Anyway..i will blog abt the orientation again when i receive photos from my new colleague susan!Gonna miss them so..=) And while searching for food at rafflescity after work i spotted ah mei's new album in "the cd shop". Of cos i bought it. And i uploaded one of her songs tt i really like. And being narcissist. of cos i sang. Pls do not be put off by the fugly voice of mine. Its been ages since i recorded any singing and i do think i sound different, i sound older..jaded, like a true 23 yr old. Its on the right hand side. U have been warned..=)

Thoughts.

Hope that this particular person is not reading my blog. or this particular entry. Im trying to put this part of my life away u know. Like lock it up and not brood over it anymore. But it seems hard to just think of the lovely memories.. why does the ugly side keep showing, im badly affected by it. I hope that i wont get hurt anymore and he should know better than to make such requests. I find it such an insensitive move. Its like..all the stuffs we share sudeenly just crumbles down and all that is left is ugly shards of glass. And everywhere u try to walk, u will get cut by it. Its not like me to be so "poetic" but i dont really wish to spell everything out..sigh. i need an outlet to rant. =(

Starting work soon.=)

Today was quite eventful, in the sense that i did quite alot of things, compared to the days when i just slept till noon, eat lunch, surf, nap, surf and eat, surf and sleep again at 3am. Woke up at 9am today cos i was to sign my letter of appointment for guest relations officer at amritaspas Raffles the Plaza, its actually in Raffles City itself. haha. I can imagine me gg to Donut Factory quite often for their double choc donut!! I 1st went to the PO at hougang mall to post out the items to spree-ers from my Victoria Secrets spree. I did something really bad..like trying on one of the tops that i was so tempted to buy but did not because of its price. Luckily, the top pales in comparison to its online pic, probably due to really good photography and lighting. and i folded it back into its transparent plastic bag.=X Bad!

Took the nel line to cityhall after that and i rushed to the hr dept to sign my letter.ha. Was reading thru the terms slowly. Asked Cheryl(hr manager) if i could "moonlight" on sat morns as i have been teaching roysth rascals for quite along time already, 2 yrs? She consulted my spa manager and conveyed to me that it could be arranged if i change shifts. yip! Quite alot of things to be done. I went down to the so called"fashion room"(laundry and seamtress room) for my uniform fitting. The uniform's okay, quite nurse-like, it consists of a cheongsam like top and a tapered tulip skirt, all in a very light brown/beige color. The auntie quite funny. She was like staring hard at my waist, and i stood there stupidly, looking at her when she suddenly said,"Girl, ni de yao wei ji chun?(wats ur waist size?) Of cos she cant see la. Cos i was wearing a babydoll top. haha. hide my waist de! Then she motioned for me to lift my top. I was abit hesitant. I shy eh. Thenthe next thing she said was"Girl, ur pants cannot wear hipster, hotel regulations all staff must wear waist kind de." I was thinking,"eh, i'll be in my nurse uniform during work mah, why would it matter?" Weird aunty. Even if i wear hipster my top will cover my hips/waist eh, pple can tell meh? haha. Cute. 8 was the smallest size tt she could find, it was abit loose on me especially at the ahem and oso at the waist. She was muttering to herself as ahe adjusted my uniform around my body, "girl, this is the smallest already, make do with it hor."=) I kind of like the aunties there, though they sound gruff and looked like the no-nonsense type of pple, but i can tell that they arent hypocritical(intuition of mine which is v accurate i must say). I wear shoe size 7 eh. My foot big right. Aunty was quite suprised and keep asking me if the shoes are loose anot, i told her that its okay, because of my duck feet.heh. My ezlink card fell out of my pants while i was in the changing room but being absentminded, i forgot to pick it up and i left. Luckily when i went back later, the card was still there, and aunty nagged good-naturedly. hahas. Went to raffles medical group for checkup. Everything was normal.=) Was supposed to set up dbs acct de. But stupid me forgot my nric. Sian. i have to go back to the raffles city branch to do up my acct again before mon. Popped by River Island again. The sale was irresistable. Fast becoming a fan of theirs. Got myself a nice knitted sleeveless top! Its sort of glittery and v v comfy. Slashed 45 bucks of its usual $89. And only 2 pieces were left and i couldnt believe it when one of it was the rare size 6!! Of cos i got it.hahas.

Looks way nicer in real life okay. =)

Went to cityhall control to pass my spree-er her grey skinnies. Her bf came instead. V cute guy.=P Though he was supposed to meet me at noon he called and asked if he could pop by later, and he didn sound apologetic in the phone at all though he did thank me after i went"...uh, then later when u coming down then u call me to see where am i lo". was quite pissed actually but i relented since he said tt he was gg to the doctor. After i met him in person, it gives me e impression that good-looking pple are generally more self-assured, confident and less pai-seh sort? Yup, i do think so eh. He did say thanks for e trouble and stuff but i din feel sincerity from his words. Wonder if u know what i mean.

Popped down to California Fitness-cine brannch and finally signed up as a member. The guy cheated me! At first, he was saying 89 per month , pay 3 mths upfront and reg fee 119. When i declined his "offer" saying tt i only want the free one month trial package, he offered me a supposedly "better" package of $58 per month with $98 reg fee plus a free water bottle. Chee. I happily signed up. It is a one year package. If i decide to terminate, it would be a penalty fee of $300 flat. I am pretty excited, more over the classes they offer, like Latino Jam!! Ballet, Hip Hop, mtv dance, body combat, boxercise rather than the gym itself. oops.=D I took my body analysis with a CF trainer called Ngiam. He is quite cute. tanned and he asked if i was attached. haha. I said no, and he quickly added in that hes just asking.=) I asked him" Are u?" And he said yes. and tt its a lady more mature than me. haha. Then his phone keep ringing all the while he took my body composition analysis. He explained tt it was his gf, just passed driving exam, and poor in parking, she called him to ask for help. haha! So sweet.=)

My body fat is in the acceptable range. =) 23%-25% is normal. Mine's 24.2%. My evaluation stated" Muscle type: Underweight but proportionate. Nutrition status" Muscle mass" is below normal, fat mass is in acceptable range, minerals in acceptable range too. And he was saying tt i need to gain 2 more kg of fats and 9 more kg of muscle?? Excuse me? 9+2 more kg means tt i will be like 52.2 which is super duper fat can?? I was like saying to him" No way man, last time when i was 49kg, if pple who remember me in my cartel days, i was like 48-9kg back then. Everyone was complaining tt i am fat lor. " My mom, grandma, relatives say i round round de. Even colleagues say tt im fat. I remember once when i was helping out at the cashier at MS cafe cartel, some crew from other branch was dining in ms cartel, when she made her order at the cashier counter, she was commenting in a rather loud and rude(i feel) voice" shes like a rounder version of Joanna", (whoever she meant). Damn hurtful can. I dont like to be called round or whatever.=_+ This trainer was smiling and he said" girls fleshier nicer to hug." Hmm. that sounds familiar. I remember hearing tt comment just a few days ago. haha. I was shaking my head vehemently and he sort of surrendered.hahas. Anyway, the flow of conversation was rather stiffled and i think the main reason is because he is the chinese speaking sort and i too would like to converse in mandarin. I suggested to him" eh..do u want to speak in chinese instead?" and i got him jokingly rebutting me, saying: "my english very poor ah?" and i evaded his question in a : no la, cos i feel more comfy speaking to you in chinese. =) smart girl right? And he went on :" Hmm, these stuff i dunno how to explain in chinese, i can only use english eh." I guess cali staffs are all only trained to promote their courses and products in english. haha. So inflexi. Later chinese aunty come want to sign up how. Im gg to the gym on friday to meet him as he is going to explain how i can use the machines to build up my arms and tone my thighs, butt. I wanna lift barbells! heh. and i want to join mtv dance after work on friday from 6:40 till 7:40pm. Anyone knows where to buy padlock? Cali provides the lockers but not the padlock. Very lousy.

Hmm..then called up my boss to confirm with him that i wont be free to teach 4 days at the music school le. Only able to teach on tuesday nights and sat morns. And i got an earful from him. hai. One month ago i already told him tt im gg to start working full-time soon. enough warning/notice liao mah..Not my fault tt he cant find another violin teacher right. No matter how unpleasant it is, i finally got it settled. I will still teach this thurs and fri, sat but when i start work next week, i would no longer be able to do so already.sigh. Anyway, my favourite students are mostly in the tuesday slot. so haha!=D

Went myphosis and spent again..this time on a pinafore like tunic, with black straps and black/white mod satin prints.

Its really nice. I was so happy from my shopping therapy that i skipped my usual junk food shopping and took mrt home from orchard.=) happy girl today! Pple..pls go join cali eh..i need gym khakis and dance khakissssss.
