ask, believe and receive.

without realising it, i've worked for almost a week now. work's pretty satisfying, and it's really rather fun working there. just that i'm honestly not that much of a promoter really; sales have been pretty bad these few days and we're hardly breaking even. but i'm trying hard! for the next two weeks i'll be working at the cathay branch though, and the hours there are crazy. it's from 12pm to 10pm for monday to thursday and sunday, 12pm to 10.30pm on friday and 12pm to 11pm on saturday. and for some strange reason working there's more tiring even though i work the same hours at the suntec branch.

my co-worker dawn was telling me today about this film-documentary called "the secret" which is based on a self-help book of the same name. the idea behind it is really cool -- it's basically something like ask and you shall receive. but it's not another preachy religious book or anything. you're supposed to think positive thoughts in order to attract positive events and happenings to you, and that's known as the "law of attraction". i was really skeptical about it at first (okay i am still having misgivings now actually; i'm not all that gullible contrary to popular belief) so i was just randomly trying it out.

there was this customer who came in and was testing a lot of random fragrances, but she basically didn't want to spend that much -- the typical kind who will walk out after a while without getting anything. so i was thinking "okay, you're going to buy something from us" and she really did! but then it could just be a coincidence anyway, so i tried it again. it was closing time already, so we pulled the shutters half down and i was shutting down everything while dawn went to the washroom to change. and i was thinking "someone's going to walk in and buy something" and this couple walked in. i was pretty stunned then, because suntec at around 9pm is quite empty, and anyway if a shop has shutters down you wouldn't really go in, would you? but in the end they didn't get anything, because we'd already shut down everything and we couldn't process the purchase. but they were really genuine buyers! and they said they'd come back the next day. i'm not so sure if this was just a lie though. i'll ask dawn when i next see her.

i guess you can be skeptical and say it was all just coincidence, but there's really not much harm in thinking positive anyway. i think i'm going to get the book. i went to look for it at harris and it was $36. but i think it might be a good investment haha.

anyway, sam came down to visit me again and we had subs for dinner. thanks for coming down again sam! i feel bad for always making you come down. but strangely enough i don't feel self-concious or anything even if i'm eating alone. i used to hate eating alone, but now that i have to it isn't all that bad really. and i realise if you go a little after lunch hour everyone else there is eating alone too.

today i also saw huiling, who walked by the shop quite by coincidence! she had just gone for an interview with smrt, and she got the job. she walked past the shop and i was all "huiling! huiling!" but she didn't hear me because she had earphones on. so i ran out to tap her haha.

oh and apparently the 'a' levels results will be released next friday or something. sam said something about it, and so did dawn. i am not prepared to get it back. at all. haha okay, positive thinking -- i am going to get As for everything. i really will.

also, i found out from my sister about that closed product launch that edison chen is attending! it's an adidas product launch -- stupid yahoo news and their "attending a fast food product launch" -- but attendance is supposedly strictly by invite only. my sister's cca mates are performing at the event or something, and even she can't get smuggled in. i guess i just have to find out where it's held and camp outside. sigh.

work, work.

okay, work is awfully tiring, to say the least. to the uninitiated, i finally got a job! i'm now working at whathewants for $5 per hour and a 1.5% commission on whatever i manage to sell. actually, the uninitiated title extends to just about everyone minus my family and sam, because i happened to be smsing her when i went for the interview and also because she came down to visit me the first day i was working. (and thanks for coming down again sam!)

working hours are looooong but strangely satisfying. and i have very nice co-workers who teach me all the basics very patiently. but there're honestly so many products there and i can't remember loads! so when customers come in and ask for something, usually all i can do is throw a pleading look at the unfortunate soul who happens to be working with me at that time and ask for her help. or i'll just go "uhh, could you give me a second and i'll check for you?" and rush to ask for help.

today's like a tiny, tiny respite because i have work from sunday to thursday next week, at the suntec branch. i hope i don't mess up much. sigh. and i can't watch BOF anymore! okay technically i can, but only on a tiny computer screen and not on the big plasma tv that lets me see lee min ho in his full glory. argh. i. must. stop. fangirling.

you are the only one that needs to know.

i've been reduced to a total fangirl again, because of the korean version of boys over flowers. it's a really nice adaptation, and much as i hate to say it, seems quite a bit better than the taiwan version which i was so in love with in primary school because jerry yan was in it. i haven't watched the japanese version yet, although i keep telling myself i should, but i don't think that one will be able to compare either -- i watched the hana yori dango movie and it frankly wasn't much.

anyway, back to the korean version. the f4 in this one take a while to get used to i suppose, because none of them are in-your-face good-looking/swoon-worthy. but then i've always thought that the most beautiful people are those who don't seem to be that good-looking at first, but they grow on you until you've fallen in so deep without even realising you were in danger right from the start. and maybe it's because the guy who plays junpyo -- the daomingsi/domyoji of the korean version -- looks a little like jerry yan. they have so similar eyes, and from some angles they might even look like twins.

see what i mean??

and, all four members of f4 in the korean version are good-looking. seriously, i'm not kidding. plus, i like the girl because she's actually a likeable heroine and she doesn't get too whiny. okay so i'm really only just on the second episode, but that's evidence of how good the show is too -- two episodes into the series and i'm completely taken in.

sigh, if i do get good enough results and get accepted for scholarship interviews and the like, i'm not going to know how to answer if a question like "so, what did you do between the a levels and now?" is posed. i can hardly say stuff like "umm, melting into a puddle of rabid-fangirl-goo everytime the likes of ikuta toma/edison chen/lee joon ki/kim ki bum/lee dong hae/lee min ho/kim hyun joong appeared." can i...

disclaimer: despite all evidence to the contrary i am really not a squealing, rabid fangirl most of the time. in fact, i rarely display much excitement nor do i scream with happiness everytime any of the aforementioned show up (on tv, not in real life unfortunately). i'm a fangirl in secret. haha. the most i do is gaze dreamily into space. honestly!!

and the earliest date i can start my elementary two japanese lessons happens to be a month away, so i am now officially a slacker with nothing to do. this is really bad. everyone else has something to preoccupy themselves with! and all i'm doing is spending money and wasting my life away instead of doing important things. okay, i'm going to forget about minitoons for the moment and continue looking for jobs anyway.

I've done 57 out of the 132 stupid things.

day out with mingshuan and liyun at bugis -- yes, bugis again, for the third time in three days but i'm not really complaining because i had brilliant company all three days and the venue didn't really matter a lot to me -- and it was really loads of fun. (:

met up for lunch, and we all exchanged very belated presents -- liyun's birthday present and valentine's day presents and souvenirs from my taiwan trip for the both of them. mingshuan got me a pretty black mirror with a butterfly cutout on the front, and i'm so bringing it everywhere now. i have three of these compact mirrors now, and i think i might start collecting because they're really pretty. i just need four more and then i can have a different one for each day of the week. haha okay, i'm just kidding, i don't look into a mirror that much and i'm not that much of a bimbo.

liyun baked us cookies! and she also got me earrings, which i really wanted because my other pairs either got lost or had random parts broken off. i'm not even that rough with them, so i don't really know why all of them disintegrate after a while. i'll take good care of this pair though!

i got a mt. fuji puzzle for mingshuan (i'm sorry it's so random haha but when i saw it i thought of japan and then japanese and then you, and it's something i've never ever given you before anyway so i thought i'd get it) and this handphone cushion thing for liyun. and then because i was so bored at home i got this crazy idea that it'd be fun to make sushi for them as part of their valentine's day present, so i made crabmeat sushi and cheese sushi and onigiri for them. i think the rice didn't have enough vinegar in it though, because i was using this new vinegar mix thing and i'd already doubled the recommended amount and didn't think i should put anymore in. thanks for eating the sushi guys, even though there was the overwhelming risk of having terrible stomachaches after. and also eating them despite their not tasting too good.

and they also completely validated my claim that they were insane friends, because i got dragged along to take neoprints not once, but TWICE. and then they took loads of other random photos too. haha but i guess it's okay, since it's been so long since we last met up and our next potential gathering would probably have to be during the march holidays when liyun's done with her common tests. and when mingshuan is free and not at her internship place, which i gather is a pretty big accounting firm. so now i will have random photos to stare at.

jap test tomorrow that will determine whether i can take the elementary 2 classes, and i haven't studied yet. i need to stop relying on past knowledge and study seriously, or i'm not going to pass. see, complacency hits hard and it's not even official school yet.

MINITOONS, CALL ME!!

ahem. to hide that shameless plea for a job i will make this entry long and dreadful so maybe not so many people will see that.

my valentine.

sort of had a pre-valentine's day celebration with wynne, rab, sam and peiyen yesterday at bugis, and it really was quite fun. wynne and sam were both nice enough to prepare gifts for everyone, but being totally absent-minded and dense as usual i didn't get anything ready so i felt so awful accepting their gifts. sam gave each of us a rose, which was so much more expensive than usual since it was so close to the actual day itself so i felt even worse about not preparing anything. i don't have a picture of it because i really followed sam's instructions and i've been hanging the rose upside-down, so now it's a little brown and all and wouldn't look nice in a picture.

*insert picture of a pretty rose here*

take spongebob's advice again! just know that the rose was really very pretty yesterday. thanks so much sam. (:

wynne got me floppy from action city. and since floppy hasn't become brown because i haven't been hanging him upside-down, here's a picture.

he's really cute, isn't he? now he joins my mound of plush toys on my bed. thanks wynne! (:

we had dinner at this japanese restaurant in bugis junction, and the food was pretty good. i had omelette soba, wynne had kakiage soba, rab had cold ramen which kind of looked a little like salad, peiyen had charsiew ramen and sam had yakiniku bento. wynne has got pictures on her blog, so if you're really interested in how the food looked like for some strange reason or another (although i'd suggest you not look at it if you're hungry) you can go and look at it there.

after dinner sam, wynne and rab turned into insanse teenage girls and literally dragged peiyen and i to pretty in tokyo for neoprints. i always seem to end up doing insanely embarassing things around sam haha. like the last time, when we went to do rab's thing (for which i'm really sorry that i forgot to bring) and we had to sit in chairs already almost too small for us because they were meant for small kids, sigh. and it wasn't my first time really, haha, because i have other insanse friends in the form of mingshuan and liyun who also have this obsession with neoprints although in recent years i think that obsession has died down. but i suppose it was pretty... memorable.

after all that we went off home, and rab and i decided to get famous amos cookies for the rest for vday gifts since neither of us had prepared any. so we got a big message cookie for each of them! i'm so sorry again for not having gotten anything else for you guys okay. i wasn't even thinking the gathering was a pre-valentine's day thing. anyhow, i'm glad we had the outing because it was really fun.

so, valentine's day is today and everyone is out celebrating except my brother and i. my brother's just home because his date happens to be his computer and i'm at home because i got 4 nice, thick books from the library yesterday so i can be a hermit and stay at home for the week, waiting for phone calls from potential employers. therefore, CALL ME, POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS! haha talk about being shameless and desperate, huh.

and ahhhh huiyi will strangle me and if she doesn't i will strangle myself i totally forgot to email the sponsors after i typed out the letters. okay i will go do it now, instead of wasting my time being here blogging.

things unsaid.

i feel like i should blog about something, because it seems like i haven't blogged for the longest time. the only problem is, i don't exactly have anything significant to blog about, and if i spend all my time ranting about having nothing to blog i think i will strangle myself for having no life.

anyhow, went for the NUS Dance Blast! concert at UCC yesterday. it really was pretty good, although a little short, and the 5 filler items in between the main dances were darnnnnn funny. didn't take any photos/videos because they said we couldn't and i'm a such a stickler for rules. so i kept my phone snugly in my bag the whole duration of the concert (except for when i was smsing my mum who came so late we all sat separated) even though so many people around me were so obviously taking photos/videos.

as spongebob would say, use your imagination. *paints an imaginary rainbow between my hands*

job-hunting must be one of the most tiring things to do, ever. it's all about waiting; you wait for the interviewer, sit through the entire thing hoping the interviewer doesn't think you're a total flake, and then after that you wait and wait for the call. i hardly leave my phone out of sight anymore these days, in case someone calls about a job and i miss the call and hence also miss out on the job. it's not that i desperately need a job for the money, i'm just really bored and tired at home and i might as well go out and get some money instead of sitting at home all day long.

i trust my mentality will change completely once i do get a job.

i had another one of those dreams where you dream about your results again. it seems that every one has one of these some time or the other, judging by the understanding looks i get from people when i tell them about it. i can't really remember what happened in the dream, just that it probably wasn't all too good i suppose. i rarely dream about good stuff, because the evil little inner pessimist in me wakes up in the middle of the night and plagues my dreams.

yes, i have that little to blog about that i have to resort to recounting my dreams to fill up my blog.

oh pfft.

calls that never come.

SEE I JUST KNEW HE WASN'T GOING TO CALL ME BACK, THE PIG.

even when i really want to get a job, i can't! okay scratch that. i mean, even when i really want to get a job, i can't find any suitable ones! and i'm not turning down offers because i'm lazy or i don't like the jobs. it's really because they're really, REALLY far off. like there was this data entry job that paid $6.50 per hour, but it's in TUAS and it's from 8.30am to 5pm. that would mean i'd have to wake up at 5am to get ready and travel all the way across our tiny little island -- which isn't all that tiny if you're taking the MRT or worse, the bus -- so i can reach clementi at 6am where they have transport to the workplace.

see, i'm not being fussy am i.

horrid guy. he was so nice and all and i thought "gosh it's pretty easy getting a job why is everyone complaining about job losses and the recession" and he kept reassuring us that he'd call about the training soon. and i waited, and waited, and waited to no avail! sigh. and the new friend i made during the interview didn't get his call either. even if i didn't get the job she would have gotten it, because the guy was all "whoa, this one i like because she talks so much". and he even told us to exchange numbers so we could call each other and go down together for the training. we've been complaining to each other the entire day about how horrible they are for promising to call and then not calling.

okay, end of rant. i will move on in search of better jobs. except they're kind of hard to find when i still have jap lessons twice a week at least until mid-february. and someone please tell me what part-time means? doesn't it mean you work a couple of days per week? why do some part-time jobs still demand you work a 5-day week? or is it a part-time job simply because you don't have to work from 9am to 5pm?

i wish i were a t-rex so i could go rampaging around and crushing towns beneath my feet. like "HAH, DON'T HIRE ME WHY DON'T YOU? I'LL EAT YOUR FACE!!!"

raaaaaaargh munch munch chomp.

okay i will do a meme instead because i am not a prehistoric creature however much i wish i were one.

but everything looks perfect from far away.

i've got this song stuck in my head, ever since i heard it once in one episode of rainbow romance, and i finally went to search for it today. it's called "such great heights", and it's a cover done by this band called iron & wine. now i have it on repeat on youtube, because i haven't been able to find an mp3 version of the song as yet.

maybe it's just because it's february and all, but i really like the lyrics of the song. you know how february is always associated with love and romance and stuff, what with valentine's day being right in the middle of it. and the lyrics of the song are perfect for couples. you know, like how they're always in their own world, whether they intend it or not, because all they see is the other person. because most of you will just scroll down past it anyway, i'm just going to put up some of their best verses for my own amusement.
I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and
When we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us into
Corresponding shapes like puzzles pieces
From the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this
That catch my troubled head
When you're away, when I am missing you to death

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
Sounded thin upon listening
okay darn, that's almost the whole song already.

sigh i can't believe i've been waiting all day long for a call from a guy. and it's not even anyone special, it's about a job i'm really hoping to get. oh won't you please, please, please call soon.

):

okay considering the fact that their office closes at 5 plus or 6, i don't think there's too high a chance of him calling me. i suppose it's back to job-hunting then.

twenty seven names for tears.

went to SOYA today with yimean and rach, who were dressed up as yoruichi and tyki respectively. surprisingly there were very few bleach cosplayers there today; i expect most of the better ones decided to go on down to CC instead. why aren't there ever any ichigos for me to stalk?

and i didn't know what rach's character looked like beforehand, so i googled it and her costume was goooooood. haha she got the glasses down perfect and the cigarette perched from the side of her mouth so so accurately! i didn't take any photos though; they're all with rach.

oh and guess who else i saw there, heh.

it's bill from l4d!! although his beard does look a tad too santa claus-y... if i can't get a costume sorted out soon enough for mid-year cosfest maybe a l4d team would be good!! then since most of the guys i know are all bald and going to be tan we shouldn't have a problem finding a louis.

i promised myself at the start of the year that i'd be nicer to my parents, but i was completely rude to my dad today. i should slap myself every time i do something mean to them, then maybe it will finally get into my head that i must be nice and patient with them.

and i realise i'm really becoming awfully lazy, so i'm going to go look for jobs more actively as of today. the embassy of japan is looking for a "private secretary", haha, but i'm pretty sure it's a permanent position. i'm just going to randomly send in my resume i suppose, and see if they're bored enough to look at it. and there are job openings at changi airport as well, for retail sales assistants. i called them but no one answered, so i guess i'll call and ask again tomorrow.

my aunt who lives up the street treated us to dinner, and i won $32 from bingo and a bit more from playing in-between. my parents funded all of it though, and i still got to keep the profits -- another reason why i should be nice to them (not the only reason of course, i'm not that much of a materialistic brat).

for some reason this entry sounds all disjointed, like all my paragraphs should be in point form or something.

oh and i have learnt how to make decent-looking onigiri! yes that makes me very happy. i am one more step closer to becoming an exotic wife HAHA. okay sorry, i suppose i'm a little high. sometimes i wonder why i'm so ambition-less. like i'd settle for being a stay-at-home kind of wife (which is different from housewife, mind you. a stay-at-home kind of wife dabbles in cooking and stuff only when she feels like it, but housewives do it all whether they feel like it or not. okay basically a tai-tai i suppose) when just about every other girl my age wants to do something to change the world, or failing that, at least do things that get them noticed and recognised.

i wonder what people would say for my eulogy. okay i suppose that is more than a little morbid. but i guess i'll just be remembered as being very, very quiet. haha. maybe "..." would be a suitable epitaph.

alright i won't talk about morbid-y stuff like that because it's the new year and all. it's just watching voice that's got me thinking like that i guess. if you're reading this and feeling bored, i suggest you go watch voice. admittedly, i only started watching it because ikuta toma stars in it, but if he were to be suddenly killed off in the show (please don't let this happen i don't really mean this oh please please please don't kill him off or remove him) i think i might just continue watching it because it is that interesting. and every episode so far (alright so there've only been two subbed ones really) is a tear-jerker. :/ even when you're determined not to cry because say, your sister laughed at you for about a week for crying over the guy's death in the first episode the second episode is still sufficiently moving enough to break your determination.

okay maybe i just have an overwhelming tendency to cry a lot. fine.
