wheesung is love!

very tired from work!! today there were lots of things to be done. and wynne was sick, so mr tan left me all alone at suntec to shift all the stuff around. thank goodness catherine came down at 3 plus to save me. i didn't get to sit down all the way till almost 2.40 because there was so much to be done. but after all that shifting was done i think the shop looks very nice now. there was the men-u, urth and anatomical products to be moved. and the whole shelving area in front of the cashier counter was rearranged to make way for the anatomical products. and for the new tri-atikline wrinkle repair thing as well. luckily mr tan came back and helped, or i'd have been so much more exhausted. and there were still customers to be served on top of all that moving things around. the american crew shelving came today too, so all the american crew products had to be moved onto the shelving.

very random photos from work anyway.

see how pretty and colourful it looks now after all the moving-stuff-around!

lydia says this photo is very freaky.

hahaha estrina ang is very funny. (:

all of us, drawn by lydia! i refuse to put up estrina's version because she gave me Xs for eyes so i look like a dead stick figure drawn all wrong. haha!

wheesung is my current favourite obsession! ((:

okay as if you guys don't know that already. sigh his voice is so soothing and comforting to listen to. and he's actually very good-looking after a while. and he's a nice person, and he's a great dancer, and... alright i'm dissolving into fangirl goo again.

even rachel agrees with me anyway!

okay i'm off to listen to a bit more of wheesung before i go off to sleep because i'm really awfully tired.

speaking of which, hmv doesn't stock wheesung's albums! i like his songs so much i actually want to get his cds instead of just downloading them like i usually do. usually the only cds i ever get are those of edison chen's. and i'd get ikuta toma cds too if he ever produced any. i was so disappointed when i walked all the way to citylink mall's hmv during a break to look for them and couldn't find any.

okay okay i'm off.

feels like insomnia.

i'm really down for no reason other than listening too much to wheesung's narak.

... it's scary how much a song like that affects you. even if you started out feeling happy, halfway through the song you already start thinking about sad stuff. by the time the song ends, you can hardly bear to smile.

which is why i didn't include it in the new cd i'm putting together to play in the shop. customers hearing it will feel like they want to go home to cry, and the staff hearing it will become sad and unable to serve customers.

i included his other songs though, the happier ones. (:

now if i can just find the english translation of the lyrics... all i can hear from it is bits like happiness, please and love. but those words appear in so many korean songs anyway. in the meantime i'm just going to imagine the lyrics are really sad and meaningful.

eternity is ours.

wheesung's voice is crazily good... it literally gives me goosebumps, listening to his songs. and i mean that in a good way. like you feel his voice deep inside and it makes you really just want to stop what you're doing and listen. i suppose i don't make much sense, but he has seriously one of the best voices i've ever heard. not that i'm much of a music critic really. it just makes me happy listening to his songs.

today, estrina and wynne were big bullies!!

(on the phone with wynne)
est: eh wynne, tell mich about the sri lankan crabs. *passes the phone to me*
me: hello wynne! what crabs?
wynne: you know that day, mr tan made us erase all the lab series testers, he's sending them to sri lanka in exchange for sri lankan crabs.
me: o.o seriously?? that's very strange... i hope he treats us to some.
wynne: okay can i talk to estrina haha...
me: okay *passes phone to estrina*
est: *laughing* eh wynne she still don't know leh...
me: o.o don't know what?
est: the crabs are fake one la!
me: i'm not talking to you anymore!!

then estrina proceeded to telling a whole bunch of other people. my reputation as a wise, intellectual and deep person has been utterly ruined.

and there was this very funny moment today. haha! estrina was singing along to some song, and the lyrics were something like "...i'm not crazy" to which i replied "yes you are".

estrina is leaving for rome tomorrow! and i won't see her for almost two weeks! have fun in rome! bye bye estrina!

okay i'm off to be a pirate hehehe.

before tomorrow comes.

if you're someone i spend any amount of time with, you've probably heard me complain some time or another about how i see 4:44 on the clock so often. apparently, seeing that means someone's scolding/insulting you behind your back. haha i didn't know i had that many detractors! ):

on the other hand, if you see 11:11 on the clock, that means someone out there is thinking of you. now why don't i see that as often...

okay never mind, it's really just coincidence i know. like how bread always ends butter side up. it only feels like i see 4:44 a lot because i actually take special notice when i see it, and so it seems as if i see it all the time.

and i'm really crazily addicted to wheesung for some strange reason. i've had insomnia and fading star and love is delicious on repeat for the past few hours. you just don't seem to get tired of the songs, no matter how much you listen to them. and it's strange because wheesung isn't... the kind of celebrity i usually get so obsessed over. he's decent-looking, and really good at dancing, but he... just isn't the kind of guy i usually get obsessed over.

except in the mv for insomnia i guess. haha. i could watch this over and over. and i hope he fired his ex-stylist for giving him dreadlocks in his earlier years, because they didn't suit him at all! his present hairstyle makes him look much better.



... i think i go into a very random fangirl mood every once in a while.

that makes me think of what lydia said the other day, about how the people in clarks and hush puppies must think the whathewants staff are bimbos who do nothing but giggle all day long and blast music too loudly. honestly, i think that's how we appear to people on the outside. never mind. we know deep down that we're all very intellectual. (:

estrina is leaving the day after tomorrow for rome!! ): i'm going to enjoy working with her tomorrow, because i won't meet her all the way until next month after tomorrow.

okay i will go sleep so i won't be a zombie tomorrow.

oh and i passed my final theory test!!

only for you.

i feel like i've been a completely absent, self-absorbed and horrible person the past few months.

it's getting way too deep.

working with lydia is super fun. especially since she's been in a very crazy mood these few days. laughed like crazy again today until my tummy hurt from laughing too much. too bad we forgot to apply bj slimming solution before embarking on our laughing fit! if we'd put it on we'd probably have abs by tomorrow. then we'll show off in front of estrina. ehehe.

super junior's it's you is very addictive. and so is craig david's/wheesung's insomnia. i feel like creating a new cd mix for the shop so i can add in sj's it's you. and the wheesung version of insomnia. i wonder if i can just append the tracks to the cd we have now... okay i'll try when estrina brings the cd back. estrina's leaving for rome very soon! shall have to get the bof cds ready for her before we work together on friday.

my dad left for abu dhabi today. i felt kind of bad that no one sent him off save for my mum. no excuses for that really, because i could have gone ahead and taken leave off work even if he said there wasn't any need to. then i missed several calls in the morning just before he went in the departure hall, so i never really got to say by or anything. plus i was all grumpy in the morning so i was quite rude to both my mum and dad especially when he started going on about taking care when crossing roads and giving the same advice he gives every day anyway.

next time round, i will keep "goosefabah" in mind.

the last time sam was saying i was cynical, she pointed out that i always leave cryptic paragraphs on my blog; like that time when i was saying that i had the habit of typing out smses sent to no one in particular like the main character in bokura ga ita. it's just that sometimes you have stuff you need to get out of your head, but there's no one suitable to talk it out with. i'm just strange that way i think. most times i prefer dealing with things quietly on my own than talking about it.

okay i need to sleep so i won't fall asleep at the wheel tomorrow.

wish you'd been careful with my heart.

had a very rubbish-y day today working with lydia, haha! both of us were very giggly today for some strange reason, and we laughed at the silliest things ever. like stuff in my advanced theory book, and her oxy5 box (something along the lines of "this cream is invisible. neither you nor your friends will be able to see it." hahaha so your enemies can see it then.) and very random stuff like sleeping in the shop. work today was very fun! and time passed sooooo fast today. somehow, before we knew it it was already 5 plus. then mr tan came down with four big boxes of stocks to put up, so we were kept busy all the way till 7 plus.

i really love working with lydia and estrina and wynne. and all the rest of the staff too! but i don't work with them all that often. come to think of it i don't work with wynne a whole lot either! next month i'll tell mr tan i'm sick of suntec and want to work at cathay so he'll have to put me with wynne since she's working there all the time because of her driving lessons.

speaking of driving, i realise i actually have very awful hand-foot coordination!! it's just ultra hard reacting to everything fast enough. you have to clutch in and change your gears up when you increase your speed, then when you're approaching a turn you have to signal, clutch in and shift down to second gear, release the accelerator and use your engine brake, then tap the footbrake slightly and clutch in then stop completely at the right stopping distance from the vehicle in front or the stop line. if you're the first vehicle, you have to turn the car enough that you won't make a wide turn and cut into the other lane. and i always, always forget to signal. and to turn my car. and i take really long to shift gears. my instructor was demonstrating how to, and he switches gears in like five seconds. i take like thirty seconds between my realising i have to switch gears and actually going on to change gears. if he wasn't braking for me i'd crash into about ten cars per lesson. )):

i'm going to get my stamps next lesson no matter what!!

monster hunter freedom is very fun anyway. it's very funny at times, frustrating enough to be a challenge other times but remains adequately playable still. as in, you don't feel like giving up because it's too hard. you just feel kind of like "i can't believe i dieeeeeeeed i'm doing this again" most of the time. other times it's kind of like "hahahahahaha why do i run so stupidly hahahahha" which happens when i'm running away from the wyverns. seriously, your character does this funny run that's highly amusing.

i'm kind of stuck at the horrid yian kut-ku though. you'd think, for a creature with such a silly name it'd be easy to defeat. it's not. okay maybe i'm just noob at it.

and i accepted nus's offer. now i just have to get a decent passport-sized photo taken and mail form p in. does anyone know exactly which form is form 1 by the way? i can't find any one that says form 1 and the guide says i'm supposed to send in both form p and form 1.

pfft. sam has gone off to taiwan. my dad's leaving for abu dhabi tomorrow. estrina is flying off to rome in less than a week! everyone is leaving for some place else. i wish i were flying off to japan...

okay off to sleep and all so i won't fall asleep at work tomorrow.

she is gonna want nobody.

i'm online for two reasons.

the first, to book driving lessons for july. booking starts at 12am and i am very vigorously stretching my fingers at the moment, so i may book enough lessons to make up for my one month lapse in lessons since i totally forgot about booking last month. thank goodness i remembered to stay up. i was honestly about to go to sleep just now when i suddenly thought of it.

anyway, the second is to jubilantly exclaim that i'm going to nus fass. ((:

my japanese elementary two test is in about 3 weeks. i'm going to study hard for it. okay see you all i'm off to stretch my fingers some more. fastest fingers first!!

i'm your biggest fan.

ahahaha i can't stand episode 217 of bleach it's making me laugh like crazy until my stomach actually hurts. it's darn funny!!

cc: "ultimate technique, stunning charlotte cuuhlhourne's miracle sweet ultra-funky fantastic dramatic romantic sadistic erotic exotic athletic guillotine attack!!"

yumichika: "who says i'm quitting? i'm just flabbergasted by your total lack of naming sense."

cc: "i bet you're just jealous of my talent for naming things!"

and later on...

cc: "ultimate attack, stunning charlotte cuuhlhourne's perfect stylish dangerous psychedelic valuable economical continental incredible unbelievable shining strike!!"

and then cc releases his blade and his true form is hilarious. so yumichika starts laughing like crazy, and ikkaku who is some distance away in another fight himself says this.

ikkaku: "huh? that's weird. it sounds like yumichika is laughing his ass off. nah, no way. he's in a fight." *all said in a perfectly serious tone like he's really analysing the situation*

and then...

cc: "ultimate technique, beautiful charlotte cuuhlhourne's lovely cutie fanatic aquatic dynamic dom-ethtic-ow... i bit my tongue."

... it's amazing how yumichika can't attack cc while he's trying to finish saying the name of his attacks since they're all so stupidly long.

okay i'm going back to watch it because yumichika is getting beaten up badly and i'm sad. ): go yumichika!

-edit-
secret techniques ftw! (:

on another note, thanks sam and monster rab for baking the cupcake-muffins today! i haven't eaten it yet because i'm planning to eat it for breakfast tomorrow. but i'm sure it'll taste wonderful. thanks okay!

speak now, or forever hold your peace.

haven't blogged for a long time, so there's a lot to blog about but i haven't got the energy to do so because i'm very tired. between work and japanese lessons i'm so exhausted i don't even feel like going out on off days! but because i'm always busy working somehow or another things get planned for my off days and i have to go out anyhow. and in about a week's time i'll start my driving practicals, which means even busier days.

at least i'm not bored or wasting my life away at home i guess.

anyway, celebrated sam and wynne's birthdays at sentosa on monday. it was fun spending time with them all. and we did loads of funny stuff too, like burying francis in the sand and having sandcastle wars. i hope they enjoyed it as much as i did. happy belated birthday sam, and happy early birthday wynne!

was supposed to go check out psp prices and packages today, but i woke up too late and had to rush down to cathay to meet wynne and sam and rab. and i was supposed to buy new shoes today, and shop around for a mother's day present too, but i didn't since i hadn't any time to do so after all. collected my new glasses and i'm quite happy with them i think. now i don't have to wear lenses all the time! they make my eyes uncomfortable, especially the left one which has always felt a little strange ever since i poured hydrogen peroxide in it.

and a few days ago i finally received my first (and not the last i hope) letter of acceptance. i've been accepted into ntu's communication studies and i'm frankly more relieved than happy. i kind of have mixed feelings about it, because on one hand i'm relieved that i'll have some place to go to after all and on the other i'm not very eager to go to ntu. i'm still holding out for nus's acceptance letter which i'm hoping will come soon. poor ntu. it's like the vj/tj divide all over again, except it isn't as bad for ntu since ntu is still well-known for being better than nus in some faculties. and like i was telling huiyi, every time i tell someone i got accepted but i'm only using it as back-up they give me this incredulous look like i just said something very stupid.

it's murphy at work again, i tell you, because while i really wanted to get into nus he let me get into ntu instead. i'm going to sound like an arrogant show-off saying this, but i really wasn't concentrating very much on the essay i was told to write for ntu. i spent ten times the effort and time on my usp application, but because i really wanted to get in for that i didn't. or at least i'm pretty definite that i didn't since they never got back to me.

and i am going crazy with all the ns talk. when the guys book out, it's all they ever talk about. when they book in again, it's all their girlfriends ever talk about. this is precisely why i should get a psp. i'll tune out and play while they're talking about ns. okay i probably sound like a cynical bitter old hag saying that, but even then, it gets rather awkward so i feel like i have to say it.

am i really cynical? i vehemently disagreed with sam when she first said i was, but today wynne pointed out that i was being cynical too and i could feel that i was. i don't know. i fantasize too much for my own good, believe in love at first sight and all things found in movies and happy endings but i also know life has an ugly side to it. cynical is when you think nothing good will ever come out of anything isn't it? i don't exactly think up bad endings for every thing, so i suppose i'm not completely cynical. it's just that some things have way more possible bad endings than happy endings.

i think i take after my dad too much in that i have to control so many things that don't even involve me, and i always get more than mildly annoyed whenever my dad does that control-freak thing. so i'm sorry for my tirade and my constant interfering into things that don't concern me. i don't like it when my dad does it and i don't think anyone likes it when i do that. it's a wonder how anyone bears with me when i'm like that.

... i ended up talking about almost everything i wanted to blog about anyay.

work again tomorrow, with estrina! haha i doubt they look forward to working with me as much as i do though. pfft.

a million things i want to do, and a million things i want to say, but i can't/won't do and say them and will instead forever hold my peace.

i will leave you people with this fairly amusing video.
