Simple Saturday

No extravagent programs.
No squeezing thru' the crowd at town.
No huge bunch of friends.

just a simple saturday with a close fren (and neighbor) spent, chilling and hanging around at less populated areas :)
and it was great.

sometimes we just need to slow down our pace on weekends, rather than bustling around AGAIN since tt's what we do on weekdays.. esp those of whom are working full time. occasionally i'd love to spend my day away outta town (too bad i cant drive), i.e. secluded places of sg or explore ard sg. tt's y i kept emphasizing to ting that if only i have driving license and i own a car! sadly, tt's not gonna happen so soon :(

and so it's also a day filled w good food. nothing luxurious.. after lunch we headed down to clark quay and i suggested to go to the Japanese market - Meidi-ya - at the Liang Court! WOOOOTS. i LOVE jap food. love love love. from their tid-bits, their snacks, the alcohol (which is well, the CHOYA hees), their meals, to their desserts, except their beer. Japanese are sooooooo fortunate.. envy la. it's not my 1st time to medi-ya, but i'm still very fascinated by the wide range of stuff they sell. both of us were like awed every now n then, all the "WAHs" and the "OMGs"; ting said every 3 steps she took she had to stop and turn back to me as i wowed at the food thr HAHA. i was fascinated by the tid-bits and snacks while ting was fascinated by the low-calory food thr haha. wah, by the look of it, in comparison i'm so unhealthy!

spotted their signboard for delivery.. so convenient!! it is for customers to purchase cartons of drinks or maybe like a big quantity of food (i guess so la) to be delivered to their doorsteps so tt they cld save e trouble to carry them home themselves. budden also abit unecessary for s'pore markets, cos they're all located in e neighborhoods.. unless u're preparing to take refuge la.

at the end of e day i cldnt resist the temptation and bought soba and rice crackers home! hehe. ting bought nothing at all (i think her weak spot is beauty products, while mine is food). or issit tt she's left penniless? haha. i cldnt wait to tear off the packet of rice crackers and nom on them.. which i did. i think i pratically chomp it almost too eagerly =X

Photos of the day =D

KOI bubble tea!! oh mine is peach green tea with their grassjellies (ting's reccomendation) I LIKE!!! u guys shld try the grassjelly instead of the zhen zhu. it's really nice!!!

love at first sight

have you ever met a stranger, standing close to you, and when u look up and your eyes meet with his/hers, you blushed and could feel your heart beats faster than you can imagine?
thn you would feel very self-conscious about yourself, and would constantly check whether he/she is still around?
that you wouldnt dare to look into his/her face again, bcos you were shy or too afraid of revealing your feelings?

what if the person you were checking with, is constantly checking on you too?? would you regret letting him/her passed by, without another look at him/her again?

Prudential Sucks!

Crap!!
i thought i could earn like near to a hundred bucks when my fren recommended me this events job for 3 days, which now the salary reduced to half of what i expected because i quitted halfway through doing it!

well, it started out w a fren of mine recommending me this job with pay of $8/hr. i agreed to take up this job immediately and called the person-in-charge for more details. upon the brief rundown of the job details through the phone, my heart sank a bit because the company we're to work for is PRUDENTIAL. damn, i know how most ppl feel towards prudential the same way i feel towards it but... it's jus a 3-days work with a not-bad pay isn't it? the job scope is to approach ppl and get their details (tis is so brief) and i asked the person if there's any target to hit. ok, this is the WHAT the issue is about. he said he dont think so. thn i felt better and so i took up this job, and even recommended my frens to join me.

on the actual day of briefing however, the information was too much for us to take. we're to visit local unis and promote their new-launched management associate programme to the graduates there, and get interested parties to fill in their details. the condition of the pay is, we need to get 60 ppl per day to get $8/hr, otherwise 30 ppl per day to get $6/hr pay, or i think it'll be no pay at all. i felt deceived, but still i agreed to work somehow. nevertheless, i feel tt it's impossible to get so many ppl to listen to us on this goddamn prudential programme, esp when it leaves such bad impression to ppl.

on the 1st day of work, i only managed to get 30 ppl (and i didnt even promote anything about prudential; we just tell these ppl tt it's a survey) a lot of which contains fake contacts. on the 2nd day we gave up and called to terminate contract, but we managed to finish 2nd day of work when the person hinted us to complete tt day's work and tt we might get our pay. i even dialled my frens up to obtain both their and their friends' particulars to achieve 30 ppl, when the person actually emphasized on getting interested parties instead. haha.. WHO CARES????? given prudential's bad reputation, it so hard to be motivated to practically promote their programme lorhs... and ppl dont even want to hear anything tt's related to it. SEE LA? tsk!!

i hope we will still get paid for these 2 days work lorh. if not i would really feel cheated when e person told us we will get paid by forcing ourselves to complete the work!
and i would never ever work for prudential again! pui!

such an irony

OH.
i just realized how ironic it is when i wrote about the previous post after the stress factor post. lols.
but i do feel better now tt i wrote it out it and also complained to my friends...
Thanks for listening and consoling me, suggesting ideas too. :)

when everything just caves in

MDIS Bachelor of Arts, Degree in Mass communications of Oklahoma University
is such a money sucker.

how much more have i yet to pay? how long can i last with the limiting finances??

1stly i fret over the school fees, which is the main factor that is suffocating my whole family. this huge amount of fees do nothing but creates arguments, anxiety, stress, distress, poorness, and tears.
....... a lot of times i wonder in order for myself to further my studies, is it worthwhile? was it a wrong decision after all to be in this course, to pay for what's more than we can afford? i've thrown it all away to study; i quitted my job and gave up the carefree life which i dont have to worry about money. i didnt realize how huge the impact will be and how much hardship i'll be suffering, until days after my classes began. i have walked this far, but yet i feel myself becoming weaker and more jaded while i walk down, so powerless against the strain of the burden.

2ndly, which is the secondary concern, is about my residency trip to oklahoma at end of this yr. this, is not subsidised by school and we have to fork out our own $ to pay for e air tix, the living expenses accomodations and all. AND it's not included in the sch fees. so it's like we are paying extra for it. thanks to it, i have more burdens now
--> no, i dont feel like borrowing e $$ frm my parents yet again. no, i cant afford it myself.
then how else am i gonna raise e $$ myself??!?!!

unless i tio 4d or toto. unless i sell my body for it (ERK, this is so cheap! NO I WONT DO TT, no worries) or unless i engage in some illegal activities. and unless i opt for a loan.

then.............. it dawned to me that, it's true u cannot do without money, true that it's difficult to resist it's temptation, true that with money, almost everything is possible to achieve, and true that money is the one of the most important assets in the world.

when i was younger, i rmb how shallow and materialistic i felt to those ppl were to think like this.

now i know. now i understand.
and now i become one of them..
