- my electric eyelash curler is not working & had to go to work with uncurled lashes
- there's a heavy rain on my way to work *felt a little depressed, don't like rainy days*
- people think it's my responsibility to do the job when it's actually not. The worst is when I have to do their "shitty" stuff
- I have not receive my claims for last month
- my clients ask me why they can't do certain stuff with the software just because my boss told them they're able to it before the sale was close and now say that it'll be tricky and complicated if they want to do it.
- My boss decides not to be too involved with these projects after the deal is closed and I have to handle everything.
- a 3 minutes conversation on the phone will last more than that because the other party can't just answer straight to the questions.
- a dinner appointment was made at 6.15pm but the person told me that she has another appointment at 7pm. Was I expected me to finish my food within 30mins??
- I had to reject another appointment date just because the person above insisted on meeting today but yet cancelled it last minute.
- the stupid lift at Paragon stops moving after 7pm. Had to take the cargo lift up just to return a key to my client.
- when I have no dinner and had to settle on instant noodles as I was too tired to buy food from the coffee shop.
To sum it off - 25th October'04 is not my day...

Shopping!!
Met up with one of the flowerpod podders to collect my orders for the shawls ( black and creamy white) today. The material is rather thin but can't expect much as it's only $3.50 each.
After which I had lunch at McDonalds, tried the savory grilled beef burger and I rather like it. As my cravings for fast food has not died down yet, I think I'll be eating that again pretty soon...yummy!!
Saw a Mango sweather which cost $65!! I'll seldom spend so much $$ on a single piece of clothing and something which I can't wear to work (except Fridays).But I really like it alot as it's purplish pink in color + butterfly embroidered on it + puff selves + very comfortable material. After trying it on for the "x" number of times, I decided to head to the cashier. Can't wait to wear it. *excited*
Hopefully on my next shopping trip I'll get
"Need" list:
- the right pair of shoes
"Want" list:
- a pair of square diamond earrings

Submitted application... finally!
I submitted the application for the SIA cabin crew only this morning even though the deadline was yesterday. The mail box was full therefore I did not manage to send it through successfully last night. Hope they'll take my application into consideration. Keeping my fingers cross!!
Guess I'll be quite busy over the next few weeks as we've just closed 2 new deals. Kind of looking forward to working on it. Maybe it's been like 2 months since we started on a new project.
Checking my yahoo mail frequently to check if there's any from SIA... keke

Jerry - out from Singapore Idol
Tried 2 skirts, 1 flowery dress, 1 yellow top and 1 yellow cardigan @ This Fashion but I left the 2 storey leveled shop empty handed. I am so disappointed, the clothes look so nice on display but not on me.
Finally, Jerry is out from Singapore Idols! I saw this poem (tribute to Jerry) on SingaporeIdol.net forum and personally think that it's rather sweet:
Looking at tonight's farewell tribute
I could not help but wilt
Anyone can tell from your face
That you've accepted the results with grace
I could almost hear the sigh of relief
That you are now spared from those who did not believe
Many people who blamed you for the exit of Jeassea
Are the same people, who does not vote but talk for free
Your strength in handling the criticism thrown at you
Have convinced me that your humility is true
May negative feelings about you go away
And your dreams be fulfilled one day.
Though I don't like Jerry as a singer, it seems to me he's kind of a nice guy. Read that he was booed during an appearance of the Lime's bash and he wrote down his "sad" feelings in his blog.
After all the criticism from the majority, he still smiles at the camera and thank the judges for the comments unlike Christopher who showed his "I can't be bothered" face.
Seriously, I admire Jerry for his courage and the attitude of striving for what he really wants and believing.
But on another note, maybe he should just continue on what he is really good at, which is definitely not singing :p

Just to sum my thoughts in point form:
- Singapore's Auntie Anne's does not have most of the flavors of pretzel that's listed in the site :(
- I was inefficient at work today
- Singapore Idol - Disco night was boring!! So disappinted with most of the contestant's performance. Sly - what's with the tounge sticking out?? Olinda - the outfit :P Jerry - no comments, the judges said it all. Don't think I'll rush home tmr to view the results.
- I am going shopping at This Fashion tomorrow. They've nice minis, but I don't think I can wear them to work so may not get those. Hope to get the cardigens in colours of shocking pink, black, yellow
-I've 6 more days to write the cover letter for the SIA application. 1st time writing a cover letter so my sis will be helping me go through it once I'm done.
Sis: thanks in advanced yeah!!

How to use the S.A.M machine
I headed to my client's place after lunch. One of the beauticians there treated me with one of Auntie Anne's sour cream & onion pretzel. It's my first time eating pretzel and I am in LOVE with it! Its so delicioussss (not that I am hungry as I had quite a heavy lunch b4 that).
I visited Auntie Anne's site and realized that there're so many other flavors available and I'm going to try most of them soon. :p
I went to a S.A.M machine after work as I had to weigh a letter for postage. There was this lady who was using the machine, whom I wished I could have given her a lesson on how to use the machine effectively and efficiently. She had 3 different bills to pay and this was what she did:
- scanned barcode for the 1st bill
- enter NETS pin
- selected "no other transaction"
- took receipt
- scanned barcode for the 2nd bill
- enter NETS pin
- selected "no other transaction"
- took receipt
- scanned barcode for the 3rd bill
- entered NETS pin
- selected "no other transaction"
- took receipt
- ended her transactions finally!
If she did the following:
- scan barcode for the 1st bill
- select "another transaction"
- scan barcode for the 2nd bill
- select "another transaction"
- scan barcode for the 3rd bill
- Enter NETS pin
- Take receipt
- Leave the machine!
, I would have reached home earlier...

SIA is recuriting again......
As above. It has always been my dream to be a Singapore Girl. I've downloaded the application form but am still considering if I should send it.
Devil: IF you get in, you got to leave your current job (not that I LOVE my job)
Angel: Go ahead and pursue you dream. What makes you think you'll get in anyway??
I've heard so many about how bitchy/materialistic this industry can be but there's also the fun part of working and visiting different countries at the same time.
The percentage of me sending the form over is 60%.
If I get in:
- I can be a S'pore girl afterall! (but it seems like their standard of choosing crews are dropping)
- I'll get so much exposure/experience (something which I can't get from office jobs)
- I'll save up as much as I can (heard that they get quite a sum for allowance)
-
If I don't get in:
- continue with my job (not that I'll continue working there for the next few years)
- continue sending the applications forms
Should I? Should I not?

May my weekend come soon
updated 16:40
Relieved!!!!! Yeah.... the long awaited scary presentation is over in just 1/2 hour.
After the presentation, I think I should just go bang my head against the wall. Three years in poly and a diploma for networking, I can't even rem what's the 7 OSI layer and other terms used in the networking environment.
During the presentation:
Boss: you know the OSI?
Me: OSI??
Boss: the 7 layers?
Me: oh yah (but I don't rem what are the 7 layers name)
Boss: do you know etc etc.....
Me: ehhh...
He wants me to read up over the weekends. Praying hard that my netprep book is still chuck in some corner of my house.
He said something which really "touched" my heart
Boss: Boss 2 say you cant do it, but I think you can.
Me: ...........
Hopefully my brain cells can put in as much info over the weekends so as I can present myself better next week.
---------------------------------------------------
To many, the weekend mood is with them already. But I think I'll be feeling it only 8 hours later. I hate this kind of feeling, reminds me of school days when I can't wait for the exams to be over.
Think my presentation will be very short as my ppt has very little slides. I really don't know what to write.....seems like I am repeating the points over and over again.
We'll see how it goes. Will update 8 hours later
