T1me to hel my D1sappointed heart

Todae was actualli supposed to be a happy dae for mi as i was supposed to go shopping again after taking a one dae break.. N todae is also my official ORD day.. Finalli free from the daes where we wake up at 530 and commanders screaming half left down and drop 20.. Indeed it is a cause for celebration...

But yesterdae mid night, the results of the double specialization program came out.. N indeed alot of my friends could not get in.. Guess there are indeed too many scholars and people that score perfect score..

So this whole thing has spoilt and dampened my mood for shopping todae.. And the excuse for shopping will be to heal my disappointment again.. This feeling is just so undescribable.. haix..

3,2,1 Act1on

tink i have realli been MIa-ing alot and haven been updating my blog.. Been rather busi this week.. N many sad events occured...

Firstly, my gf flew to HK for her exchange.. Although tt meant 1 month of freedom to shop and mj all i wan, but i am feeling rather sad.. Tot i will be ok wif her away as we are not realli the super sticky type but haix.. Absense does make the heart grow fonder.. Guess this sentence is realli true..

Ten i have been seeing a trend- bad omen... that all my frens tt got attached around the same time as mi are slowly breaking up.. One at a time.. Realli depressing.. Mb October is a black month to get attached.. Bad feng shui.. Ha ha..

I have also been busi shopping for stuff again.. No job and hence so much free time and my mum decide to "sacrifice" herself and accompany mi on daes where i do not have shopping kakis.. Bought a nice tee shirt... N looking out 4 a new pair of slippers.. Din noe tt looking for one takes mi 2 weeks and i haven realli seen one tt i liked... Haix.. Any recommendations?? ten my bag and my polo.. Tink im gg to have to "recuperate" for a long time before i can go shopping after i have bought these things on my list..

gtg liao.. Need to recharge o tt i can energise myself for tml.. Audieus!!!

M1ssing In action.

Been "away" for the past 3 daes as i had to return to camp on wed to do my clearance and ffi.. N that took up one precious dae of my life. had to shuffle between two camps.. N guess wat, im still nt done yet as the camp tt was supp to do my body checkup ran out of sum needles or wateva so they were unable to draw blood for testing.. Haix.. SAF is indeed veri inefficient till now.. even medical supplies also can short.. As my mdm saes: how happen if emergency.. ask tt person don fall sick issit.. Postpone to another dae till they have the supplies.. I practically laughed myself off the chair..

Thursday was basically another dae of retail therapy as my frens decide to cAll it so tt they feel less guilty.. But this time, it is wif my mum again.. guess its important to have your finance sponsors out wif ya especially if you have been spreeing away in orchard and other major shopping centres and am low in cash.. but i felt bad about asking them to pay for my stuff so i paid for my stuff again.. This time round, the damage was not that bad.. fortunately..

Guss it is high time for mi to start working so that i can finance my shopping kicks and not to mention my other expenses.. But i gt a feeling i realli cant concentrate on work ... i realli will miss ya..

An0ther Dae

Tuesday.. I woke up at 10am after being disturbed by my mum.. just as i switched on my phone, it rang.. So zhun.. I picked it up and it was a job interview slated at 230.. Finalli im gg to be one step out of the unemployed personnel and do sumthing useful..

Went for the interview which turned up to be sum form filling event onli and i was done in 15 minutes.. tt's my record for an interview.. But what the heck.. As long as im done wif it AND I can do my favourite activity again.. Yes.. U guessed it.. Shopping time again..

Todae was more of a window shopping dae as i needed to find out information on quilts and pillows... T1me to consider changing it.. but i was done in an hour and feeling tt gg home is a waste of my precious time, i proceeded to shop wif my mum.. ( c how filial i am.. hahaah)

Ended up buying sum stuff again as usual and i have decided tt im nt going to shop at OG as far as possible as the service is realli bad.. bad and realli BAD.. Don even noe the basic courtesy of saying thank you, smile and giving receipts etc to the customer.. Just chuck it on the table and expect mi to pick up the pieces.. Tt's sumthing tt i realli hate as it just prove tt you do not respect the person.. 9 Back to my cashierind daes, even how pissed i am wif the customer, they will still get the receipts etc on their HANDS)... Haix..

What has becum of the service standard in Singapore and i dare bet that if i was an Ang Moh, the treatment will have been different.. Im sure u all must have had a similar experience..

W33k3nd R0utine

Todae is just as saturday to me as i started the dae at 10am with lessons for accounting.. After the lesson had to rush down to nus for sum contract bridge tournament that lasted till the evening..

All went well initially and i was enjoying the gameplay when one of my opponent decide to start this whole crap thing about calling the director just becos i think abit too long before bidding.. here;s wat happened..

The opponent and us were bidding furiously to snatch the contract that were favouable to themselves.. But when the opponent bidded to level 5, which was quite high as they needed to get 11/13 cards, i tot about bidding an even higher level 6 as it was better for my team.. But i guess 30sec is a tad too long for these old chaps, who must be full time players as they look like retirees looking for ways to squander ther time. (P/s zr: you can consider learning contract bridge so that u have one more place to go other than hong lim haha..) they then decide to "threaten" my partner and told him that" they reserve the right to call the director" This meant indiretly that they tot i was cheating!!! Come on, cheating in some low division tournament where there is no cash or incentive for winning?? I give up..

But these are old men and i decide i shall nt be rude and argue wif them.. i just kept quiet.. By 530 all was over and i decided tt it was high time to go for second round of shopping to destress and cool myself down..

But i ended up feeling sad as i regretted buying the 3/4 capris tt i bought yesterdae.. I came across better designs and imagine out of the 10 shops i went, at least 8 had 3/4 capris.. OMG.. couple of weeks ago nt even a single piece and now everywhere has it.. haix.. speechless signing off..

A Happ1 DaE

Phew.. Todae is the first time tt i feel 24hrs is insufficient.. But who else to blame but myself as i slept till 12pm.. So by the time i stepped out of the house to go shopp1ng, it was ready 3pm.. So sad...

Tot tt todae will be just another dae of window shopping as member im nt a believer of GSS and new stocks are alwaes kept till after GSS... But i was proven wrong todae... My first stop was Robinsons at Centrepoint.. U mus be wondering wat im doing there when i don need formal wear..

But after its "revamp", i kinda like the men's department as it has new brands of casual wear and sports wear like adidas.. So i did my wallet injustice finalli as i indulged in shopping after so long.. Finalli saw some sports shorts and a tee that i liked and within moments, im poorer by 90..

Just tt i tot i was done and was headed to the exit, my shopping "companion" came across a poncho sling bag.. I luved tt bag too and within seconds agreed that we shld buy it ...

At that time, it was already 8pm and we decided to take a casual walk to do window shopping before heading home at 10... At hereen, i came across a pair of 3/4 pants.. finalli one piece i said to myself.. I immediately went to ask for my size.. 0nli to noe that it was the last piece.. And acc to the salesgirl, whole of Singapore is OOS.. ( out of Stock).. And guess how much tt piece was.. 100 bucks and yet OOS after being on shelf fro less than a month.. Im speechless..

So i headed to paragon and gt a shock.. we saw the same bag at a l0wer price.. OMG... But wat to sae.. Buy liao just use loh.. As long as she like it..

Last stop, Isetan wisma as i had a voucher to use.. went to level 3 and came across another 3/4 pants by G-****.. Din dare to raise too high hopes as i din wan to be disappointed.. A salesgirl came by and offered her help.. I told her i was looking for 3/4pants.. Immediately, she told mi it is called capris.. Wa.. so high class name or maybe my england nt powerful enuff.. But i tolerated and smiled..

Yes.. There was my size and the colour looked nice.. Finalli i said to myself.. But it was a disaster when i tried it.. The cutting looked so weird on me..

I left the store and had given up on looking for one liao.. But my companion saw one by s********.. N the color was right, design ok and the thing looked ok on mi.. Yes, the search for 3/4pants or capris or anything u wan to call it is finalli over...

Haix.. so fast 10pm liao and its time to hear the classical music tone tt stores play.. It was a fruitful shopping dae but it is nt enuff.. Time for round 2... Any takers... but i need to heal the hole in my wallet first.. haha.

R0uT3 to fr33d0m

Yesterday marks my last official dae as a "green" personnel.. I was supposed to be feeling veri happy as i have finalli completed my ns but i realli missed my friends in camp... N i gt even more depressed as i have yet to find ways to quell my time away..

Todae is the first dae of freedom and i slept till 1230... Had a good dae of rest after so long... Program for the dae... Movie time as i haven watched sum of my to watch list of movies and its time to clear the back-log before other great movies like harry potter comes along..

tt's all 4 now..

F33Ling sad and S1ck

Haven been posting anything for the past 3 daes as i was sick.. Down with food poisoning and indigestion from eating yong tau foo.. Close friends will know that i seldom eat tt as i prefer my spicy meal over tt plain tasting and msg filled soup and tou foo.. But i decided to have tt as i wasnt feeling hungry and was too lazy to tink about lunch.. The main culprit over my illness is the china lady at the stall who somehow managed to coerce my mum into buying $5.50 worth of yong tau foo.. who in the right frame will actualli eat tt much of yong tau foo... But i decided to be appreciative and devoured the whole packet down..


I then went for my afternoon nap and when i was up again, i felt so uncomnfortable... This whole ordeal lasted till todae where i finalli managed to have my first decent meal in 2 daes..

So lesson learnt.. From now on.. no more yong tau foo for mi.. im deeply traumatised..

An0ther S1imple Dae

Din noe what to write about so took an unofficial one dae off yesterday... Yest was just another normal dae for mi..

Shopping,eating,shopping,eating and then sleeping.. Wat an easy way to spend a dae.. While i was shopping, i have proven my theory right.. That quality can be measured by the cost of the item..

GSS is just a way for retailers to clear their "unwanted" stocks and shoppers use that excuse to engage in excessive purchases.. Onli to regret it after buying as it do not seem that nice..

Hence, I am seldom an avid fan of GSS and im slowly psychoing my mum and frens tt normal daes can be just as fun to shop as there may still be reasonable bargains but minus the crowds.. So why squeeze when we have holidaes till august.. hahaha..

But one shop had to prove mi wrong.. I was looking for 3-quarters pants and u know how difficult it can be to find one during this period.. So the desperate mi has been looking fruitlessly everywhere for a nice decent pair of pants and i finalli came across one at a boutique... But due to GSS which reduce the price by 50%, i can no longer get it now.. One week ago, it was still advertised at normal price and thinking tt ppl will not snatch it, i proscratinated it due to my army schedule.. N vola, one week later, the price fell 50% and it was swept off the shelves.. my heart aches...

Todae was supposed to be a relaxing dae 4 mi but i promised to help my classmate out with Accounts for a company.. Thinking that it will be easy, we ambitioned to finished it by todae when we started at 3pm.. But we were absolutely wrong.. I got the shock of my life when i saw the accounts.. It was in a whole mess and by the time we sorted it out, we could only complete the journal entries for 2 months before we gave up and called it a dae..

We went for a dinner at the national library Han's and found that the spaghetti there was quite nice.. It was meant to be a reward after a "hard" dae of work..

With no more drama series to watch, time realli pass by veri slowly.. Guess i will soon try to find another series to kill time.. Wish mi luck!!

a N1ce weekEnd

i met my past colleagues who were working wif mi at NTUC at the chalet gathering... It was indeed a fun filled but tiring dae as i rushed there after a morning of tuition for my students..

When i reached downtown east, i dared not believe the sight that i saw.. it has transformed so much since the last time i visited it and the whole place was like a maze to mi as i tried to find my way to the chalet area..

But other than that, the whole chalet surrounding looked quite nice and i kinda luved the new look of the chalet.. I finalli managed to navigate mi way to the chalet and i met my colleagues who were already at the chalet.. We then went to white sands to do sum last minute groceries for the bbq.. N i realised sumthing.. Singapore is indeed far behind and it will take ages for it to be a gracious and excellent customer service experience... The staff were oblivious to our requests and questions and often i felt as if i was speking to myself.. But wat to do.. just pretend to face my colleagues so tat i won be like a crazy idiot toking to myself.. N i had the same exp at the bengawan solo outlet there.. But i was in a good mood and felt lazy to confront the staff..

In the end, the bbq went on as planned and we ate our fill... Then we proceeded for my favourite programme of the dae.. Card games such as blackjack.. it been ages since i last played these games ever since i booked into hostel where mj was the norm game.. We din realli gamble but came up wif funni forfeits and drink mixes as punishments.. Wat a memorable dae it was 4 mi and it was def a dae well spent wif them..

Thanx to them for organising such a great chalet..

HappEn1ng Fridae

yest was indeed a busi day after my post.. rushed out to meet her majesty at her workplace and went for a nice dinner.. Sad to sae, my appeitite has been dwindling but hers has been increasing.. so we swopped roles yest and she ate my portion as well.. hahahaha... We then went to clarke quay for sum japanese ice cream.... feel so bloated and constipated... Just as i was walking by the "river" i came across my bridge club friend.. Wat an embarrassing moment as i was engaged in sum funni talk with her and din notive tt he was actualli beside mi.. Got a rude shock when i finalli saw him..

How time flies and soon it was 940pm... i sent her home before proceeding back home to bathe before gg for part 2 of the program.. Mj with my classsmates... My mum lamented that i was like a seventh month gor tai singer tt is rushing frm place to place.. wat an apt description for my first free fridae so far..

I definitely enjoyed the dae.. Thanx all for e accompany and it was indeed a fulfilling dae..

aNother B0ring dae....

How time flies and its friday once again.. As usual i've been slacking around whole dae trying to catch up on my HK drama.. Looks like its time for mi to learn from zr how to spend time as an unemployed personnel.. Who knows?? maybe its time for mi to be a member of his unemployed personnel club.

But im not gg to waste my week again.. its time for mi to catch up with my gf... been neglecting her recently due to army commitments and my bridge tournaments during the weekends.. Just wanna take this opportunity to tell her that i luv her and sorri 4 nt being there for her these few weeks..

Besides that, another reason for celebration is another round of mj session with my tutorial mates, who happen to live close to me.. look forward to this mini gathering as i din manage to attend the class outing recently..
