Shucks!
I believe that a normal eye-candy will not cause adrenaline to flood your heart when his eyes look into yours and smiles exchange. Says 'oh fnck~' like that little boy in the Fire Truck video on Youtube.
But you gave me motivation to work anyway. Maybe that's a good thing. :)

I saw you today.
Haven't seen you in a while. You look different. And I don't know if I'm right, but I think you looked troubled.

Hey yo! I'm back!
Plane touched down at about 11.45pm last night, arrived home at close to 0200h this morning. Thanks Ling for being at the Arrival Hall to welcome me back while the others had their family members with them. It's always nice to see someone being there for you when you are back from some foreign land. :)
Apologies for not updating as I did not have convenient access to Web services. Felt quite cheated about having to bring my laptop over when I discovered that the hotel room does not even have an Internet cable. You can only use their charged Internet service at the lobby, at the rate of 100 Yen for every 10 minutes, which is like WTF. -.-
Anyway, all of us enjoyed the whole trip, and felt a little sad to leave Tokyo. 'Cause it's like jolting awake from a really good dream. Hmm, shall be back again to tell you more. Loads of photos await! ^^

An hour plus to departure... then Hello Tokyo!
Hey dear readers! I'm currently at Changi Airport's T2 Burger King with my parents. We will be checking in at 10.30pm. Haha I'm quite excited about it. Will reach Tokyo in the early morning tomorrow. Bon Voyage to IBZ! ^^
Will try to update if I have access to Internet at Japan. Stay tuned!

One more day!
Goodness I just can't believe that I'm flying off tomorrow! A month ago we were still discussing about this trip and making the arrangements. WOOTS.
And there's the Udder's trip tomorrow. We will get free ice-cream too, haha. :D

Bon Voyage, Chris the Retard.
Although I don't really like the presence of you at home ('cause you are damn inconsiderate like a typical PRC citizen by talking loudly on the phone and turning on your speakers at very high volumes), I still hope that you will reach China and return in one piece. You will be flying off in a less than half an hour so I don't think you'll get to see this until after you are back. And of course, my dearest sis, who is in Las Vegas has to come home safe and sound too. :)
There's only 4 days before I leave for Japan as well. I think our parents will be damn bored at home 'cause all 3 of us are abroad. Or perhaps they may be rejoicing over it? Haha, quiet moments for the couple. :D
This week is a busy one. Firstly there is the preparation for the japan study trip, which was almost done. Then there will be tests on Law and POA. In addition there are 3 enrichment talks/programs that I signed up for, just for CCA points hahaha. Friday is especially hectic. IS in the morning, followed by a trip to the museum for some assignment, then will be the trip to Udder's company which ends at 4 plus. After that, I have to rush home to prepare for my flight in the late evening!
Shucks. Why am I even blabbering so much here? I should be studying for my Law test now!

No longer asymmetrical!
Met up with Ling after work and we went to the hairdresser's together. I got the hair stylist to trim off the assymetrical part from the previous makeover style and also got rid of the damaged ends. My hair is now more manageable!
We got our hair fixed at La Coco hair salon! My hairstylist was Jamey. Really love what she did to my hair. It was just what I wanted! Before she started, she also discussed with me on how she would go about, which I think is essential so that we can both communicate our ideas. Anyway, the pictures above don't really show what my hair was like right after I stepped out of the salon. It was supposedly looking bouncier because they used the hairdryer to create more volume.
They charged me $35, which is the student price. However, I didn't have to pay a cent as I utilised their voucher, which covered way more than this amount. :) Their service was really good, I will consider going back there again.
After enjoying the pampering hair service, off we went to stock up on necessities!
My lens essentials and some hair products.
Decided to try Lucidol-L since I often see recommendations and demo of this brand in magazines. Tried the tester hair oil in the store and it smells pleasant! And I'm a sucker for nice-smelling products.
Compact enough for travel too! Which is partly why I eventually bought it. ^^
And I feel happy when I spend. Retail therapy works to a large extent for Cheryl.

“A Christmas Carol” starring Jim Carrey opening in Singapore cinemas 19th November 2009
Once again, special thanks to Omy for allowing me to have the privilege to enjoy this Christmas-season show in advance!
Maximum thankfulness + elation! ^^
Initially I planned to bring Mum to the movie preview since the invite is for two. However, she was not feeling well so I got Chris to be her substitute.
This is the card containing our tickets to entrance! :)
Overall, the movie was great! I shall just talk briefly about the storyline, you can check out the synopsis at the official website if you are interested alright!
Protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY), is a miserly and ill-tempered old man, who spends the Christmas season unlike everyone else in the town. True to his name, he is a complete scrooge, and never likes the idea of giving (esp during Christmas, the season of giving). However, he underwent a 180 degrees change when he was visited by the Ghosts of Christmas, who took him on a journey which reveal truths that he had been reluctant to face.
This is definitely a must-watch film during this Christmas season! There is also one thing that I must rave about here - the 3D effects! It was fabulous! Everything felt so surreal, as if you were a part of the production as well. And most people out there would certainly love to have this kind of interaction with the characters in the show too!
With the 3D imaging being one of the selling points here, the music and story plot deserve a round of compliments too! I really like how the story ends with a nice twist at the end, when we witnessed a complete change in Scrooge's characteristics. It does bring a smile to me when I see the old man initiating a pay rise for his clerk and dancing merrily in his shop.
Happy endings may be cliche, but that's what we love after all, no?
The end of the movie preview was not all, we were asked to stay for an interview by Omy. And I saw Silver Ang! She's so pretty in real life. Anyway, Han Joo was looking for someone who can do the interview in Mandarin as most of us are not so fluent in Mandarin. And Silver saved the day! Oh my, she can speak in Chinese really fluently, despite this being impromtu.
A glimpse of the first-season Project Superstar contestant. :)
To add on, the organisers were really sweet to give us these goodies! I reckon they are Christmas gifts for us since it was the movie preview of 'A Christmas Carol'. That explains it!
Really adore these jars. There were scented candles inside too!

Last piercing stud cleared!
I'm studying Macro Econs and got really bored. So I decided to try my luck with removing the stud of my 5th ear piercing. It has been there since the day the piercing was made. Have tried to remove it many times but the studs they use nowadays have this double-lock thing, which makes it more difficult 'cause you need to pull a lot harder.
And I finally managed to get it out! Okay no big deal to some of you, but I'm really happy about it. This means that I can wear other studs on this particular piercing already!
p.s. The stud is truly made of stainless steel, it still looks clean and shiny after having been stuck there for more than a year! I was still expecting to see some unsightly stuff on it, LOL. Alright time to get back to Macros!

Happy Halloween in advance!
Although I don't really celebrate Halloween (except in Pet Society), I kinda like this festive occasion, 'cause of the dressing up part and going around for Trick or Treat. ^^
I'm going to meet the rest of my IBZ mates soon and won't be around till Sunday, so here's a Happy Halloween to my all dear folks first!

A little sense of panic currently...
It's only a few minutes to the next day. I'm preparing the things that I need for the course trip to KL and Malacca over the weekend. We are also going to have a BBQ and stayover at The Loft tomorrow night so that we can set off on time comes Saturday morning. Actually there isn't much to pack for a few-days trip. But I'm just afraid that I might forget something here and there.
Never mind, I shall get the things ready now and double check again when I'm setting off tomorrow evening.
Queenie, please remind your dear twin not to forget her handphone + charger, wallet with the right currency, and what else.... YES! The most important thing, PASSPORT! Okay I have to turn in now 'cause school starts at 0800h and Ms Eugenia only gives us a grace period of 10 minutes!

It's that time of the month, again!
I'm referring to pay day, otherwise would I have been so gleeful? I've hit the 4-digit! What's even surprising was that there was no CPF deduction for this month, so the supposedly to be deducted amount sort of came as a bonus. Haha. :D
And this whole thing is going in to my funds for the Japan study mission. Totally looking forward to it! Anyway, I have been watching the currency recently and the Yen seems to be going down at a steady rate! Hope it continues like this for a longer time. ^^
We selected our Sports & Wellness module today. I was a little late and by the time I reached the lecture theatre for the briefing, there were only 2 choices left - orienteering and volleyball. Aerobics, which I intended to join initially, is not available for our session, so I'm still pretty fine with volleyball.
After school, went to NAC for lunch with Amanda and accompanied her to work. Also visited Jacqueline 'cause I know it's damn boring to be working at OC. LOL. Happened to meet Emma and Hong too as they were reporting for the PM shift.
On the way home, I was thinking about the clothes that I have to bring for the study trip. Then I suddenly thought about the jacket from Sixties Inspired which I wanted to get a few months back. I should have struck fast! I hesitated for too long and there were no more stocks for the colour that I wanted! The jacket is rather thick, which is bound to be able to keep warm in colder climates. Moreover, it was selling at half-price at $29.90, which is damn worthy!
Alright, that's it for today. There's work tomorrow so I have to turn in now. Sweet dreams, dear folks!

Pandorum
Pandorum is a psychological condition resulting from extended periods of suspended animation (Wikipedia: the slowing of life processes by external means without termination). Symptoms include paranoia, hallucinations and uncontrolled shiverings.
Caught this movie with Martin, Lester, Audrey and Ling today. Honestly, I don't really like it. Throughout the whole movie the scenes were dark and gloomy, evoking ominous feelings and foreboding imminent doom. It is not just science fiction alone, this is a sci-fi thriller, where you can anticipate the appearances of cannibalistic creatures in most scenes.
What's worse was that, all of us entered the theatre with no clue about the story plot, except for me who managed to read up a little before that. So we don't even have any idea of what's in for us.
This is probably my worst experience at the cinema. Throughout the movie I was wishing for it to end quickly. The extreme air-con temperature in the cinema adds on to the misery too. It just felt like I was paying to get scared by those horror scenes, which I think were much scarier than the gory shows that I have watched. But at least, the ending was a pleasant one.
Anyway, the funny thing was that Martin actually bought cai-fan into the cinema! I was waiting for him to jolt up from his seat and spill his rice all over, hahaha.
School starts early tomorrow, I gotta turn in now!

The reluctance to let go...
Letting go of the things that I have been doing for the past 7 weeks. It's become a routine, a habit. And you know, routines are hard to change once you get used to it.
The consecutive working days, in order to receive a more gratifying paycheck on the next payday.
Those morning trips to Ya Kun for breakfast or brunch when we are supposed to be working already. Shh~
My daily roundabouts to the Candy Shop, the extent that I go to just to look at that pretty and fanciful candy. Just like how a little girl will be thrilled. :) Tomorrow onwards, I will only be able to drop by once or twice a week.
The many different ways that the Concierge team attempted to keep ourselves entertained at work. How I asked them to take the escalator instead of the lift in order to pass time and so that we have more time to... gossip. XD
How we plan our 'escape routes' in the event when the management appears.
How elated we can get when 'nam seng' is not working, and how we look forward to her knocking off.
Through these 7 weeks, I feel that I have become much more attached to my fellow working pals. They bring tremendous joy to my life at boring OC, seriously.
If any of the OC concierge is reading this, SEE YOU OVER THE FUTURE WEEKENDS!

Live Report from OC
Hey hey! I'm blogging from the Concierge counter. The live Jazz band is playing now and I really like the voice of the female singer. She just sang I'm Yours and it was superb! :) Actually, there's nothing much for us to do now since it's already after 10pm and most of the shops have pulled down their shutters.
Amanda came to look for me after she knocked off, since she's working nearby. Then we had soup together. And my goodness, I saw Mr. Eye-candy! Okay actually at that level it's expected 'cause he is just there all the time hahaha. Then Amanda asked if I talked to him, LOL. Just once, if it's even considered 'talking', which was when he asked me to help him with something. That's our only conversation.
Okay red alert now. Management staff on the move, gotta get back to our respective positions. Bye!

Loots = Cash out = Decreasing figures
But those numbers don't just go down unnecesarily. I have the habit of considering for quite some time before I get something. So I believe that I'm doing a worthy 'investment'. Think on the positive and economic side, I'm actually doing some good for the economy. Me alone may have little impact, but hey, I'm not the only person spending in the market right! :)
Got a few folders for organisation purposes when school starts.
Met up with Ling Ling after work for a while. Ling intended to get sneakers, but there were no more stocks for the right size. That pair of Converse sneakers is really nice, I like it too. Eventually things ended up with me getting a jacket instead. Had been eyeing it for some time and I happen to have a Converse voucher to utilise at the right time :D
There are 3 colours available and I think white is the nicest. On top of that, white reflects heat! So I can use it to double up as a protection from sun without getting too much of the heat. ^^
Looking forward to meeting the Pubors tomorrow!

It's Decided.
The 11 of us from IBZ are flying to Tokyo during end November. Hope that this will be a fun, fulfilling and enriching trip. :)
Just done with my research on airfares not long ago. I think it's cool that we get to decide which airline we prefer to take. JAL looks like a good choice haha.
Working tomorrow and I must not be late 'cause there is a meeting with the management! And tell me if I'm unlucky or not - I am one of the 10 mobile concierge selected to assist with some supposedly important event that will be attended by the spouses of high net worth people. Time is from 7 plus in the morning till noon time. BUT THEN,
do tai-tais even wake up as early as 7am just to have breakfast accompanied by a fashion show?

Happy Children's Day
Not just to all the children of the world, but also to grown-ups who are still 'a child at heart'! :D
Also, happy birthday to Gerald as well! Guess he must be very busy that he even forgot about his birthday! All the people in China are rejoicing on this day, how lucky you are... HAHA.
I'm currently in the midst of completing a 'project', hopefully it will be a success! I'm already feeling restless just thinking about how I will execute my plans. ^^
Be back soon!

Today.
Today is 25 September 2009.
The 4th week of my vacation is coming to an end. A few more weeks later, I will be going back to school, starting a brand new semester. I want to and will work harder to attain better results.
Today, I saved a butterfly and set it free at work. I felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, it is still a life in question.
Today, I went for lunch with Yanni at Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Hot toasts with half boiled eggs and a cup of hot tea can never go wrong together. By the way, the eggs are rather big too. We felt very full after that and even gave a piece of kaya toast to Coreen.
Today, I went shopping with Coreen after work. I came across some things that I felt like buying, but I wanna wait for payday...
AND THE BEST PART ABOUT TODAY IS THAT...
......
My paycheck for August has been mailed to me today!
Thanks to Coreen for texting me regarding this. If not I would not have realised that there was a letter from FEO sitting on my laptop and waiting for me to open it. Was a little over the moon even though the pay amount isn't that much as I worked lesser the last month. But I'm catching up for this month. :)
I'm so going to shop next week! ^^
