Its monday again!
Morning i woke up at 6am and let the alarm 'snooze' for another five rounds and then i rose at 645. My daily wake up routine. Reached office at 825. Resume list of really exciting admin work with my new best friend KC Lee.
Afternoon i was snapped by Heart for lunch, who got his job at the College of Medicine, near SGH. Like, wow? Doesnt that sound like my company's name? And his office is like minutes away from mine.
Returned to office and resume work, got bored, logged in to my blog, got bombarded with a series of tags describing how extremely stupid and unknowlegeable i am for not knowing who my new best friend was, tagged this damn post, resumed work abit, waiting to knock off.
And thats another forced post right here.
out!
Down at the academy.
Currently i'm blogging from my office, in a conference room located at the basement, on the office lappie, away from the rest of the permstaff, away from the manager, away from the doctors, and all that is to keep me company are some files, my mug and a huge picture of Lee Kong Chian (crap, who's that?) and he's staring back at me like mona lisa! Temporarily im shifted to the basement as there is no space on the upper levels, and im waiting for the upperstudy (euphemism for quitter) to leave next week then i can take her desk. But i dun mind staying in the basement. Its quiet. No one to pester me. No one around for me to pretend to befriend. No one to stop me blogging!
Right now i'm looking at tonnes of resumes and cvs, part of my HR job. I have to filter out the 'yes' from the 'no' with guide from a pre-requisite list. Indirectly im screwing people's lives. Just because one damn guy have only 5 years instead of 6 years admin experience, sorry, its a no. Im like a simon cowell in an office. At least this is just a first cut, and the manager says every resume will be looked through again. My toe they will. There are like, a hundred over resumes? And more comes in daily.
Out for now. Im in love with employment.
The Pigs flew in this week!
Currently i'm working at the Academy of Medicine, Singapore, main office @ outram. Though its only for 2 months, its a very good working environment with good working hours and definitely good pay. Dress code wise i'm satisfied, but i'd prefer they make me wear proper office wear rather than just short sleeves. It feels good to wear proper office wear for now cos the feeling of transiting from the green into civilian smartwear is remarkable.
Last friday a finger went snapping so me, foo, biao, coke man and heart went shopping for office clothes! Of course we were so excited. Biao works for one of the biggest local accounting firms, Ivan works for one of the biggest recruitment agencies, Cong works for for one of the biggest beverage company, and hh is gonna work for his friend's father who's gonna pay him more than the previous 3 mentioned persons (job not confirmed tho?) hahaha. Cheers to employment.
The weekend passed as the new Lunar year takes the old. Here comes the pigs! This year i collected less than my 1-day pay with cpf deduction.
It became more exciting when leo, cong, foo, biao and i had a snapfinger chionging session. The details i will not disclose. Out for now!
Celebrate good times.
Ok the ORD week has passed, so from now its time to generate money. The celebratory mood (or excuse) has got to stop one day. But still, the new lunar year cometh, and i still have not gotten any clothes! And to think of it, these past few days have been quite moneyshagged with all the snapfingering (wow, 2 funtywords within a statement!) so what the heck did i actually spend on anyway? So much money gone, but not a single item on my 'priority-list' is bought. shitze.
The Theory of Fine Spending by MJThere is a very clear cut difference between your needs and your wants. So one should not prioritize your needs; since these are 'needs' you'll gonna have to buy them eventually soon anyway. By prioritizing your needs, you leave no chance for your wants to be bought, and that will lead to certain depression. Therefore only prioritize your wants; you will be a happy person.Disclaimer: MJ is not responsible for those who gets moneyshagged after abiding to the theory.So next on the priority list is new year clothes. These are not needs as I jolly well don't mind visiting in old clothes. I give no damn. Anyway my yearly red packet accumulation is near negligible so i see no point looking so 'nice' anyway. Many of my old clothes are nice too? And maybe if i look shabby to my aunties i can get to miss the annual cousins height competition!
Height Idol judges
Randy: "Dog. Y'all too short dawg!"
Paula: "Youre a breath of fresh air but change those shabby clothes."
Simon: "Honestly, you look like a midget in a karaoke bar."
Snigger. Idol auditions are really laugh-out-loud material.

Saturday was quite a spectacular day despite the fact we did not do any spectacular things. Spectacular cos we get to see christina-down-unda for the last time in umpteen times till she leaves again for the millionth time, and she'll be back again very soon for the gazillionth time!
Lunch at takaya bistro at chinatown. We had fear factor challenges and chris refused to eat octopus cos she rather had platypus. Too bad theres no kangeroo sushi. And we learnt that 'ahahahahah' can be inserted into the back of a conversation to change a hostile situation.
Next chris had to leave for a party at changi. The airport just opened a new hot exotic club called 'Believe-me-you're-damn-gullible'
So the rest consisting of leo-loo-foo-heart went to watch a Ice hockey match! The game was hilarious as we saw a frenzy of angmoh kids calling themselves beijing dragons whacking the Singapore canadian association and the whole rink where surrounded by Caucasian parents and supporters yelling GO SINGAPORE! So darn weird. But pleasing, nonetheless? Of course you would steal a smile when angmoh people cheer for your country..
Bet none of y'all every caught a live ice hockey match.
Then we went to vivo to find a certain liverpool pullover which was almost faced out from the universe and could not find it, so someone will try online. We went to expensive shops like armani exchange and gap (gap is expensive!!) and delude ourselves that we will one day buy their jackets. We almost signed up for Challenger (the computer store), cos its super worth it! You pay 30bucks for 2 years, and you get to 'share' the benefits with others cos you dont have to produce the member card upon purchase but simply give them the IC number of the member. So one memorisable ic number is sufficient! And if you dont save 50 bucks end of 2 years you get the 30bucks refund.
10pm and we still felt it was early, so we decided to catch a midnight show at plaza. Supper @ cartel plaza, and boy were we disappointed. Actually disappointed is an understatement, for my flabber was really gasted when they say no more 50% off cakes and no more oreo minty shake! Cartel is NO MORE. Next they'll say fish & Co no more fish.
2am and we caught Illusionist. HH really got into the mood of the show, and he did his own famous magic trick- the 90degree neck stunt. My opinion on the show is: Great plot, great twist, and Jessica Biel looked nicer younger.
When Darkness turns to light, it ends tonight. Spectacular was the day.

Me and ivan was at The Cathay to watch Babel a few days ago, and we had dinnet at shilin, basement and this caught our eye:
Bewildering. That's what we will get with our first civilian pay.
Life requires a lesson-plan.
On wednesday i started work in a tiny office in Selegie, and I helped in admin database stuff. Its a small publishing company and the magazines are not as hot as 8 Days or FHM or whatnot but still hot, nonetheless. One day this company will be so so famous and publish popular magazines that everyone will buy. After data entry i helped to print labels of addresses and stick them one by one on C4 sized envelopes. 309 envelopes.
Thursday morning i went to the same tiny office and slotted 309 motorbike magazines into 309 envelopes. It took freakin 3 hrs.
After that ordeal i went to meet the foo for lunch, then job hunting.
After the hunt we went to watch a show with no plot whatsoever but a main theme: that communication is very important and without it you just die. If not you just get freakin horny.
Friday, which is today, I went back to the same office. I entered 309 email addresses into an email address book. I stuck stamps onto 309 envelopes. I brought 309 envelopes down to the post office in a computer swivel chair cos there werent any trolleys. I made a few people snigger.
Tmr im going to chinatown. Im gonna eat sushi. After that we will <

The above post is an example of a 'forced' post; it is put up becos it is one's obligation to put something up for the sake of continuity, and not let the blog stagnate and mozzify. But to 'force' oneself to post something without feeling or inspiration, the end product is a really really dull post; nothing exciting, superfluous, robotic speech, pictureless.
This date marks a historical moment.
ORD loh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Final Leg in the Stadium of Waves.
One day the Foo snapfinger with the Loo, he wanted to go on a shopping spree! So the Loo said he was free on wed (today) after his medical, but the Foo was gonna watch the Singapore vs Thailand Live at Kallang. In the end, the Foo Loo duo had a Snapfinger Live Asean Football Final!
Just look at the multitudes of Reds behind us.
And if you read the papers soon you will know that the match was a super kayu match that it made history, when Thailand refused to continue play after Singapore was given the penalty, and the team simply walked out of the field. Utter nonsense attitude. The spectators were going crazy and the stadium was highly tensed as the Singaporeans jeered at the Thai fans. I found it extremely hilarious to watch though.
I'm going shopping tmr! And im gonna be so broke. I'm overwhelmed by the urge to spend due to the Post-ORD celebratory mood syndrome and my accomplice excuse is Chinese New Year, so i bluff myself I have zero choice but to spend and pamper myself, cos Chinese New Year comes only once a year, and ORD comes once a lifetime.
5 freakin days to ORD. Watch me fly...
