Sec sch friends-

went to Orchard w Odie, Jac and Hui ping today! Jac hasn't uploaded the pics yet but we had fun ^^ Esp during the photo taking! Heh heh.

Also bought two wife-beater dresses from Uniqlo(the Laura Ashley limited pieces are sooo floral-y and pretty!)and reserved the chiffon top i've been wanting at Robinsons today...also got a Katy Perry cd.

Add the total cost of these to the sum i've spent on cab fare today and,well...i'm gonna be one broke girl for this week and next.

But t'was worth it.

Heh heh!

Hope we go out again one day ^_^ Such fun!

As far as high school goes: the gossip, backstabbing, and bullying from other girls; I have one word: envy. Nothing more, nothing less. Their envy stems from their insecurity; which is not your problem. Forget them and live your life.

Absolutely useful advice. Am still working on elevating myself to be the ideal lady..hahaha

So far-

-everything's been okay.

Bumped into my Sec sch Chinese tuition teacher during work(so nostalgic,seeing her! Times shoots by. ): ), met a friendly, cute girl customer w her mum and cheered up a girl's day!Sometimes i wonder why we're so reluctant to let go of people who hurt us. That girl's bf really seemed like an asshole to her.

I hope she gets rid of him and gets a better life. ^^

Dinner tmr w my work-friend and her two friends, hope it all goes well! ^^

Oh yeah and a visit to the nose specialist today led to a,well,'scary' fact; i have chronic sinusitis and need surgery.

Either that or get two more jabs in my ass...wonder what kind of dope they're shooting me up with. Heh.

Nights!

After-work Dinner-

-w who else but Odie dear! :D

Had Soup Spoon; the cheese naan's really improved <3(koped from Odie who generously let me :D)

And as usual,talked and crapped lots away. Excellent crapping partner Odie is...and what a friend :D Friends who don't come with,well...some 'girl-crap'(i.e random mood swings, abruptly getting cranky and moody and sulky)are so hard to have.

But learning how to handle such things are part and parcel of life i suppose,so...__.

I think that if there's anything to be said for long hours of solitude and fending off jibes, it's that it makes you appreciate good company. Like it heightens your normal intensity of goodwill and err, 'happy hormones' towards/whenever you meet with that friend/friends. :))

While waiting for Odie,i topped up my card. I queued at the wrong end of the line, then noticed my mistake-after a Caucasian man, who was dressed in a business suit-arrived, and began his wait at the correct end of the line. So there i went, and he stepped aside to let me pass. Initially i wanted to stop behind him-i mean, i hadn't come across anyone who'd let another pass ahead of one in a queue yet-,but he gestured for me to go ahead, saying with a smile: "You were here first."

How kind and nice of him! :D Not to mention the morals behind his actions!

I'd totally fall for a guy who sticks to his morals and ethics like that. <3 :D

Anyway, i just sheepishly and gratefully smiled,nodded at him and said my thanks.

What a rarity.

Anyway, the day ended with Odie and i happily and sleepily crapping away non-stop in the mrt..on hindsight, we probably were a bit of a nuisance to any logical...wide-awake person. But we had fun. :))

LOVE friends who're excellent crappers. So on par with them! :)

All in all it was a happy night ^_^

A strange, luminous amber-orange one end; the normal blue-darkening to purple in the middle and a vibrant pink/extremely bright purple on the other end...well,of what little sky i can see from my balconies, that is.

Quite fascinates by the sky, i am. :)

On another note, got new earrings today, in form of...studs, their ends little diamonds. Yay ^_^

Methinks i'm gaining my mother's appreciation for baubles such as these.

Which could be a bad or good thing i guess. Heh.

Just a pic i find...moving, in a certain way. I'm losing my knack for grabbing the right words to express certain feelings.

Shit.

Anyway-

This whole...vacuous-'i-am-a-doll-but-don't-play-with-me-cause-i'm-so-creepy' look...kind of appeals to me. Pretty,cute but untouchable/disturbing. Yup. >:)

Hair-spirations. The one on the right seems the most likely one i'd go for though. Surprisingly enough, my mum has allowed me to get a purple streak! Maybe i can convince her to let me do this. :D

http://hairbykazumi.tumblr.com Hair done by Beverly Hills specialist. Well a girl can dream about doing her hair there one day... :D

So WANT Jessie J(my idol!)'s hair! With bangs of the first left pic's model,yessss.

This hair is cool too...

But can't be compared to this. If only if Shaw's hair salon had this colour!

Pretty...

Gonna stew over these ideas now!

PANTENE PRO-V RED EXPRESSIONS SHAMPOO, COLOR ENHANCING, AUBURN TO BURGUNDY, $6.47

Supper

SUPPERRRRR. Shame i wasn't well enough to enjoy it all though, seriously.

Sarah! We must go shopping one day! C: <3

Dear Lord, those eyessss!!! Gems in such a beautiful face, really.

Sick

My fav childhood characters(besides Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter, Powerpuff Girls..) , Asterix and Obelix! :DD

Anyway,

going for dinner w Odie and my new friend this Fri, hope i'll be better then... supper w S. too, later on! :)

Thanks to this sinus infection i have, no work for me today or tmr. Oh, plus an aching nose which is stuffed and runny and all but that's okay i guess.

Thus ends this boring blog entry. Meh.

Unexpected turn~

Today was, surprisingly enough, a good day! :D

Started off well, what with my taxi driver being friendly and all. I left his cab on a good note~

Actually thought today was going to turn out bad due to an unpleasant start this morning(accidently knocked over a heavy little board at the display counter and when i straightened up after righting it, i faced a nasty, mean look from a formerly friendly colleague. Bitch -_-), but everything turned out well after my morning break! :)

Made a new friend; a nice Malay girl...we share so many similarities! Like, we both come from a Christian Convent Sec Sch, we both like Japanese food, shopping, unique clothes and even,well, similarities in physical appearances-we both appear to be Primary school kids/Sec sch kids instead of 18.

How cool is that! Haha~

Am going for lunch with her tmr, hope this is a friendship which will last :))

Also, i guess i may have appeared 'fake' to the young ones(by 'young ones' i mean the waiting-for-O-level-results ones). I guess that notion was dispelled after a girl(the mean one who was bitchy at first) heard how i interacted with my new-found friend. Thus did she start acting friendly; she even said bye to me nicely at the end of our working day :)

Also brought an extra seat to an Indian couple waiting for their daughter(in the fitting room) and got sincerely thanked by them three times before R. closed it's doors. :))) Motivation to go the extra mile!

Shame this wont ever get noticed by the manager or my P.E.M though.

But still, the happiness i get is... :))

Let's see how tmr goes! :)

Oh and of course, some L.O.L pics from 9gag...

"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups'.

Little bon mot; courtesy of 9gag.

Everything serves a purpose.

I have to remember that.

Of these four weeks, and yesterday-

Stolidness. First altercation. Fragile friendships wrought-second altercation; bad word-of-mouth. Rumours? Betrayal. Visit by P.E.M.

Lessons gleaned from her counsel: I cannot be timid, but assertive. "Often we imagine things to be worse than what they actually are."

"You're here for your marks; just get it done. Rude, spiteful people are irrelevant."

Also the point was made that just being well-written wasn't enough; i have to use it to my advantage.

On the bright side, friendly, nice customers always keep me going i guess. Plus there are nice aunties and 'big sisters' around. Not to mention the support system i have out-of-work...

Thus sums up what shit has gone down during this past 'month'.

Wonder what joyous bounty the next month shall bestow upon me.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I was actually feeling good about today until the visit, when all sorts of truths came spiraling out. But better now than later, when actual, genuine goodwill and "friendships" have been made i suppose.

Everything serves a purpose after all.
Sigh.

Anyway, went shopping with A. at City Plaza ytd! T'was late, but we ended up buying dresses from this awesome shop on level 2...she, 3 dresses while i got two-same design, but one in black and the other,white. Comfy and figure-flattering; can't wait to wear them! So versatile too ^.^

Can't wait,can't wait.

Odie's coming to visit me tmr too...wonder what other 'glorious treasures' will be thrown my way tommorow.

We'll see i guess.

Nonsense

That which lies dormant, in the core of our sleeping hearts-

-is it pain? Or is it but a whisper

-of fleeting regret?

Random thingy which popped into my mind. I should do a poem sometime soon... :)

5 more weeks till this blasted attachment ends...still dk if i should get Crocs or Dr Martens to make these days as painless as possible.

Anyway, on another note, i finally succumbed and bought a green halter-style dress. Will show pics on Thurs! :))

Am undecided on a really nice lace vest,a batwing top with an owl on it and jeggings.

Thus will this nonsensical entry abruptly end. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t8HQQgF6Js&feature=related

gorgeous or what?! o.o

Anyway, i treated my parents to dinner at a Chinese restaurant with $100 from my paycheck ytd. The feeling..pride, and love was...ahhhhh~~~...

I want to treat them to more dinners! With my own money! :))

We later found out that the very restaurant we were eating at was owned by my dad's old friend. Haha, coincidental much? XD

Anyway, can't wait till my next off day. My feet are going to die tmr. Should've spent money on Crocs(so far,the only pair of shoes that actually work for my easily-sore feet!)instead of Hush Puppies. Ah well.

Incidents.

-indeed.

Another incident occurred today...my attempt to cultivate some sort of mien was shattered by that b..tch's verbal attacks.

Tcch.

Anyway, my supervisor mentioned(quite nicely and gingerly)that i, along with that b..tch, have some sort of superiority complex, which means to say we both act all high and mighty...clash of the egos, i suppose, then.

I have been smiling a lot and helping out lots though. I joke around and smile a lot too. I don't see how i could appear arrogant/egoistic?

Hai,dk lah.

Imma try to learn how to curb it, i guess..

(Lengthy chunk of text saved into thumbdrive; work-related issues aren't supposed to be blogged about).

Am beginning to form a serious dislike and aversion to these insufferable F. hypocrites.

Grr.

4 more weeks to go.

Gonna press on!

Oh wait, on another note, i guess Karma really pushes through-the B..tch herself made an error-a serious one, from the sound of things-and was severely reprimanded by my-the-supervisor. How she writhed and attempted to evade blame('i was ironing!';'A.R was doing _____at that time!'). Superv. eventually put her in her place by telling her firmly to stop evading blame herself.

After that scolding, Super. went back to her office and re emerged after a while, telling her fiercely, 'Don't bully her(me)!' many times. Each reprimand was met by a shout-the b.tch was actually shouting at the Supervisor, get this-of 'I'm not bullying her!'.

Tcch.

Loathsome and repulsive, this breed of creatures are.

Gonna go eat my tea-leaf egg now and trundle along in the depths of the Web now.\

Nights!

To keep in mind:

By the end of this remaining month, i think i would have learnt a lot indeed. Never knew nor expected a certain ______ to be so underhandedly hypocritical and vicious.

This may sound sick in a twisted sense, but i'm kind of eager to see what i'll become by the end of this month, after these trials and tribulations. Heh heh.

On a good note, i rose above a particular incident today, and learnt that one should not rely on another for too long(like 4 days or smth). It was easy; still, i would consider it my 'starter model'. :)

We shall see.

For a certain someone.

Anyway,

today was fine. How i love Watami's ramen! <3

Also, it seems like plans for the Korea trip have been finalized. Gonna start saving now! :DD

Today-

-wasn't so bad. Did cashiering duties, got to know workmates better...actually jst getting to know them better was what made today alright actually,heh :)

Odie and K tmr. And my pay! :DD
