Hey finally got this photo out from my cam. Almost forgot. 
Shuying's surprise birthday cake and dinner at the pantry at Starhub! :) 
The cake from Fruit Paradise is pretty damn good. 

Starting my 4-day work stint at CommunicAsia in a week. Geez, gonna be doing nothing until next tuesday. I hate staying at home. I'd rather stone someplace else. The worst thing is that I can't connect to my wi-fi in my room. Lame. 

Well at least I'm most likely playing tennis at Lynette's on friday! :) 

Maybe I should go out later and stone someplace else. But where... hmm. 

 Made a pretty spontaneous decision this morning during breakfast with Al that today (instead of this friday) would be my last day as a Customer Care Consultant at Starhub. I thought it would be tough getting my superiors to accept it, but it was much easier than I thought. :) 

Cleared my cases, wrote more specific descriptions for the next person taking my cases, returned my headset (which still had a little residue of kaya on the mic, yes, ew, haha) and said goodbyes. No more Joleen Lake Mei Mei, no more Bobbie, no more "Thank you for calling Starhub"s. 

Felt pretty good at first, but now I feel unemployed and aimless.
It kinda sucks how when I have a job, I can't wait to get out of it, and when I don't have a job, I want a job badly. 
When I'm employed, offdays felt so short. Now that I'm unemployed, time seems to pass more slowly, I think. I can never be happy with what I have. Bummer.

But overall, I'm glad I left. This job sucks the life out of you. I'm barely surviving after 3 months, and there are ppl who have worked there for 3 years. How insane is that. But whatever it is, I don't regret accepting the job 'cause it has definitely made me stronger and tougher. I take negative comments and criticisms in my stride. I've learnt not to take things too personally. 

Work has made me miss school. When I was in school, I wanted out. Badly.
Now I just want to go back to school, receive pocket money from my parents every weekend and walk to school with a frown on my face every morning. Waste money at Starbucks on weekends to study, eat my apple after school at the back of the caf stoning, buy 270953 pen ink refills for the countless essays I've written.

Oh, good times good times. Wonder how uni life will be like. Must be real fun too.

Anyways, Imma be a slob at home for a next couple of days, then get another job. Most likely doing random temporary jobs and banquet. A flexible work schedule is what I need. I'm too young and free to be committed to a job 5 days a week. 
Don't worry, these few days will be chill. I will not be reduced to boredom that reduces me to watching Dora The Explorer on cable.


I think I need to play some guitar hero later. Haven't touched it in ages. Bet there's dust on the dust on the guitar. 

Guess I'll be updating more often now that I'll be spending more time at home.

Here's random photos. 

j Been so busy I forgot I had a livejournal. 

Hmm, been enjoying myself in-between my job during the off-days. JB, Bintan, movies, swimming, slacking, movies, working out... :) 

My job at the call centre has been sucking the life out of me, no kid. I was so stressed on Monday (along with monday blues and pms) I wanted to cry. But then later on I realised there is really nothing to cry about 'cause it is just some lame temporary job that I will be quitting in a few more weeks. The only thing keeping me alive is that one day, I will be earning so much more than these ppl who scream at me over the phone, I will be more important than them in the society. Those fools. 

And yes, I am going to tender my resignation soon. Tmr hopefully. Using Starhub's paper and their ink, I will print a resignation letter, with a template that my colleague sent me. My last day shall be on the 4th of June. 

Shall slack for a few days after resigning then go look for another job or get the recruit express person to bug me everyday about new jobs. Hmmm. I'd like to wake up in the afternoon for a few days straight and watch tv all day long. But only a few days 'cause I'm not a home person. I need to get out of the house. 

Been jogging consistently lately. I am determined to lose weight, hopefully at the right places. In fact I just went for a jog just now. Really clears my mind after a sucky day at work. 

But anyway, srsly, how can anyone work at a call centre for more than 6 months?? Fcking insane. 

Took the saturday off so I could have a good weekend, a slack saturday with Al. :)
Caught The Men Who Stare At Goats last night with Al.
It's a pretty good movie! Really enjoyed it. Nobody can stare at goats better than George Clooney, I swear. 
Seems like such a pointless movie, though I'd like to believe that there's some hidden meaning in there, but I'm too lazy to think about it.
Caught Clash Of The Titans few nights ago, it was alright I guess, not a fan though. 3D glasses gave me a headache. 
Boring typical storyline, but good graphics I guess.

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

Few nights ago, I was waiting at Hougang interchange for my bus and this really weird girl sat beside me and asked me if I could lend her $5. 
"Uhm, what do you need it for? Is it very impt?"
"Yeah, very impt"
"Okay, what is it for?"
"Can you lend me $5?"
"But what is it for?"
"Can you lend me $5?"
"But I don't even.. uhm.. know you."
*She stares blankly, nods and looks away*

After 2 minutes, she talks to me again.

"What bus are you waiting for?"
"112..."
"Oh.."

At this instant I was srsly afraid she'd follow me home and I immediately regretted not giving her $5. 
I mean, what if she's some kind of gypsy and curses me or something. 
Later on she got off at the same bus stop but walked in another direction.
God, I was so relieved. She was so scary. Oh my god.I'm just glad she didn't do anything to me.

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

Been watching episodes of How I Met Your Mother and it's so awesome.
Really really good show. Good stuff, good stuff.. :)
Shall go watch now. 

Even better than the original.
Sierra has a really good voice.

  

Life has been pretty good.

Met up with the others for dinner at vivo last night before meeting colleagues at clarke quay to drink before meeting Al and then watching Man U vs Bolton.
All that was after 8.5 hrs of work, surviving on 4 hours of sleep (after a 3D midnight movie) from the night before and one iced kopi at lunch.
Was pretty exhausted, but stil alive. 

T'was nice seeing the recruits and the other girls for dinner. Haven't met up with them in a while.
As expected the default topic was army.
The rest of the night with my colleagues were slightly better. We did talk abt our customers for a bit before talking abt army for the rest of the night.
Al came over to boat quay and we walked to 'where it all started'. Haha. The place felt different. Guess the influence of alcohol changes your environment. But nonetheless, it felt nostalgic. 

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

Today was a good good sunday. :)
Hanging out at home on a sunday when the rest of the family aren't at home is a great feeling, so is slobbing in bed.
I wish I had my own apartment. Now I don't even have a room to myself.
Hostel-life sounds good. Hmm. Can't wait. 

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

I miss being a student. Wouldn't say it's more carefree than now, 'cause I ain't worrying about much now, besides uni stuff and finding a way to fund my education for UK. (Speaking of which, gah, that is the only thing bugging me right now)
Going back to school that day made me miss it quite a bit.
Walking around school during GP and physics lessons on the excuse of going to the toilet. Hell yeah I'd go to the toilet at the other end of school just to get away from those lessons, but, that's not the point. It's all the little usual stuff in school that I miss.
Stoning at the back of the caf, eating my apple. Getting un-necessarily excited over eye-candies. Sleeping during lectures. 
Damn, I miss the uniform. 

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

The only thing I look forward to in the morning is peanut butter-and-jelly bread for breakfast, and cereal in milk.
Not a morning person, but a morning-food person. Hmm.

Can't wait to eat breakfast tmr.

Goodnight.
