Going to Suntec aft work today for my bag sourcing again.. Abit sick n tired of it le.. Been sourcing for one for such a long time yet no results... Either the bag is far too exp or the design is horrible.. Haiz.. Hope today's trip down to Suntec will be fruitful.. If not i think i shall settle for the NUM bag le.. Exp but no choice le.. Life is such.. I dun feel at all excited nor energised bout going back to sch now! I feel scared n worried rather. Hope everything will turn out well ba.. My nice colleague said tt i can bug her for the whole day on my 1st day of sch.. Hee... She told me if there's anything, can give her a call or sms her... So, I think my 1st day of sch will not be so bad since there's an invisible companion... She's a v v v v v nice lady n i call her yvonne mama.. Cuz she's married with 2 kids n Super caring towards her closer colleagues.. So we called her tt.. Asked her jokingly the other day if she would like to adopt me.. She gave me a funny ans.. "Can.. I dun mind.. But ur tis mama only support u spiritually n emotionally.. Financially, u settle urself hor.." *Bish*.. Time spent at my current company is short.. Only 1 month plus... I really hope they will wan take me as their part-time.. Met a few nice n wonderful colleagues too.. The people here are sure chocolate lovers... I Love them n their chocolates... HEE!! Gotta start work le!

Thanks to Mum n her fren, i got to eat the durians tt's fresh frm the plantations in Malaysia.. They're yummy.. My mum's fren went to his plantation in Malaysia n got us 2 big bags of durians... Haven not eaten such nice n delicious durians.. I think the last time was bout 7 - 8 years ago.. Those tt are sold in the market are not so yummy.. Furthermore, there's lots of chemicals n pesticides used.. Not good for health.. I dun mind waiting for those yummy ones.. Hee.. Been having durian party for a few nights.. As a result, i think i might be 'heaty' soon.. Mum reminded me again n again to drink more herbal tea.. 1st, cuz i get sick easily.. 2nd, i might nosebleed again if i'm too 'heaty'... So she gotta make sure i 'cool' myself down.. Haha.. So no more durians for me for the time being... As suggested by my family, we might go down to Four Seasons Cafe one day for a whole family durian party.. Looking forward to that... E saddest thing is that my ah ma can no longer join us.. She was an avid fan of durians(frm Malaysia de) too..

In another two weeks time i'll be starting school le.. Mixed feelings at the moment! Happy and scared. Happy cuz I can go back to school life. Scared cuz it's a entirely new phase of life! I have to be more independent than before and face the new and upcoming challenges by myself. I dunno how life would be like two weeks later. Fun n enjoyable or horrible n disgusting??? Mayb i should prepare myself for the worst? I still haven find any job tt can fit my sch schedule! Pray hard! Please let me find a job fast. I really need the income. I wanna settle all this b4 i start school.

Been sourcing for a laptop for the past week. Not much luck so far. Saw quite a few models but i gotta save more! Went to parkway yest with sis n UNCLE. Saw this Toshiba model which is quite nice n light. BUT it's beyond my budget!It's 2000++++. Sobs.. Sis said she'll sponsor a little for my laptop.. So i think by the time the COMEX fair comes (end Aug), i should be able to get that Toshiba laptop. Hee.. Now gotta source for a sch bag.. V sian loh.. Been looking around for quite a long time le but no luck so far. I think i might get Crumpler or NUM bag if i really cant find any other alternatives. Adidas, Nike, PUMA or Billabong oso no new n nice bags. Sian, Sian, Sian!!!! Sch is like starting in another 2 weeks time and i still haven gotten my bag!

I need LAdy LUck! Nothing seemed to go smoothly for me.. Dun spring surprises for me at the last min. I dun think my heart can take it! Juz let everything go smoothly as planned, please!!!!! Answer my prayers.. That's all i ask for! I'm really not asking for much. Is it so difficult to fulfill my these little and simple wishes?

Filming went on smoothly on last Mon n Fri.. It's quite fun though.. Through this short episode, i have learnt many things. Sometimes, as long as one's determination is strong enough, nothing is too difficult to overcome. I have changed my mindset a little aft tt day. I shall b a little more positive n dun think too much about those things that had happened to me all these years! There are still many people who really need help and more sympathy than me! I really do hope that mum would 振作 and be more brave to make decisions that will be beneficial for everyone. Dun b so selfish anymore! Revenge for wat??? Ur poor children are the most pitiful and innocent victims in the whole 'drama'. Yet all u care is about how to punish tt person! There is no point in us telling you to be brave and move on. Words are cheap! Actions are then the most precious gift. The best thing u can do at the moment is to help yourself so that all that we have done is put to good use. I totally pity the girl! She's quite cute and I loved the time spent with her on Fri. We had so much fun tgt though the time spent was pathetic. Jia you okie? 我相信明天会更好! Hope she love the wallet we bought for her.

I dun mind going for another round. Though it may be quite tedious but i do enjoy the process. Yeah! I managed to hold back my tears tt day. Got improvement. I find there's joy in helping others. It does not only bring smiles to those you have rendered help to, it also bring smiles to myself too. I have decided to go again should they call me! hee...

Has technology advanced so fast and the people progressing at such a fast pace that more people are getting mentally unsound? It is indeed worrying if the figures are rising. Girl, it's not tt bedok have many sickos.. I think other places oso have.. Mayb cuz we always hun around this area ba.. Tt's why the chances of meeting them higher? I think they ought to b caught n given treatment.. No point caning them or giving them punishment.. I think rehabilation might b the best cure for them though i think the victims would rather they be given the punishment.. However, the emotional scar that these people leave on their victims is permanent.. No form of punishment would lighten or even erase the emotional scar. It'll follow their victims all their life.. Not only that, the lives of the victims might juz change forever.. Some may turn sucidial, some may be violent while some might juz lose confidence in themselves n others. Furthermore, it is not easy to forget the whole incident.. For rape n molest cases, there will be newspaper reports on it unless the victim choose not to report it to the police n let the perpetuators get away scot free. If the case is reported to the police, there will bound be newspaper reports about it for at least a day or two. Even if the victim is able to forget the incident, other ppl would unintentionally remind her about it.. Tongues will wag n there will be a social stigma toward these victims.

I can totally relate to these victims.. Poor them.. Why cant this world be a better place to live in? Many things have progressed and advanced yet there is a decline in the moral of the people. Wat irony!

Bus fares might increase AGAIN next year as from the news yest. If i din remember wrongly, the bus fares has juz increased not long ago. With such high living standards, it is quite a heavy burden on many people. Now, the bus fares might increase again. This might take a toll on those lower and middle-class families. There is the rising fuel cum oil prices and the food prices have rise too.. Food and oil are necessities to everyone. So we cant avoid the rising prices. However, the public transport is the cheapest form of transportation for those lower-class people to travel around S'pore. If the prices are going to increase now and then, would these people have to resort to walking to get to the various places in time to come? Even if there are subsides or transport allowances given to them, it can only help them for a while. The govt cant be always giving huge sum of subsidies. This would become a chain effect. Expensive bus fares would lead to more transport allowances for the poorer people. The tax rates would increase so that there is enuf reserves to use for the subsidies. As a result, those high and middle class people would feel the heavy burden on them and the cycle continues.

In the past, I din feel the pinch of taking the public transport as i was still using my student card until not long ago. My student card was confiscated though it had not expired. Using the adult card for travelling, it is really v v v v v expensive!! Imagine seeing the big difference in the card value at every tap of the card. Wallet hurts alot. Furthermore, i'm STILL NOT A WORKING ADULT yet!!!!!!!! I'm juz a pathetic student who is working temporary till i start school. So the expensive bus and train fares are killing me! Last time $40 could last me for more than a month if i didnt go out v often except to school. Now $40 could only last me about 2 weeks or so..

If the service of the buses and train are good, i dun mind paying for it. However, there is not much difference. The waiting time for some buses is still as long or sometimes even worse. Though it was reported there will be improvements in the public transport, i can hardly see much difference. Giving feedback on the bus service as wat they called, doesnt help at all! I have complained a few times to the bus company. Many people from my school had called to complain too. However, there was nothing much being done. I've got tis feeling that the operators tending to the feedback are juz protecting their own colleagues. The frequency for Bus 12 is very long even though it was claimed in the SBS website that it would take about 10 - 12mins to come during peak hours. The bus would either come like 10 mins earlier or later than the usual time it would reach the bus stop. It dun happen like once in a blue moon. It happens like once or even thrice a week. Many students and working adults have to take Bus 12 to school or to the train station. Such irregular bus timings would cause many to be late for school and work. When u complain about this situation, the operators would tell u that mayb the bus is caught in a jam or the vehicle broke down or some other reasons.. Dun tell me the bus will juz be caught in a jam or break down once a week. Then they shd do some maintainence to all the buses every week since it'll definitely break down once a week. Sometimes the bus is so packed that people had to wait for the next bus b4 they could board. Sometimes, the drivers arent friendly too.

Service ---- thumbs down
Fares --- thumbs down
shake heads

Service --- thumbs up
Fares --- thumbs down
people would consider the expensive fares as a payment to the good service n would not mind that much

Sometimes, time passes by so fast yet sometimes it passes by slowly.. I'm wondering how my life would be like in a few weeks time when i start school and oso in a few years time. Would it be something tt i've expected or will it deviate alot? Hmm.. Life is so unprediectable... Work is not so boring at the moment as i have some stuff to key.. Yeah!

Went for my school's orientation yest.. It was not so fun and fun.. The not so fun part was before lunch where we had to play some ice-breakers and listen to some 2hr motivational talk.. My group was not so bad.. As we were still strangers when we meet each other, almost everyone was quiet and shy. so the ice-breakers started off slowly.. As for the motivational talk, i think i only paid attention to it for half an hour.. The other one-and-half hours were spent in the effort to keep myself awake. haha.. I learnt something real amazing thru the talk.. Smoking causes great harm to ur own body and to the people around you. Those 2nd hand smokers would lose 8 - 10% of their IQ! Smoking causes the genitals to shrink by 10 - 20%!!! The more one smokes, the greater ur gentials would shrink.. Look at the damage done if one smokes.. Not to forget the great damage smokers do to those innocent victims who takes in the smoke.. Spare a thot for others if not for yourself!!!!!!! Personally, i dun really like people who smoke. It super disgusting and i totally cant tolerate the smell! I think this message should be brought across to those smokers instead of those disgusting photos tt are on the cigarette boxes. The photos dont really discourage them from smoking.
The games that we played were quite okie.. My team is quite united and everyone is oso very spontaneous.. I think the spider web, the lady webrith games and dodgeball were the ones where everyone is super united.. We helped each other to overcome the obstacles and there were trust between one another though we have juz met one another for a short period of time.. I totally enjoyed the games though i sustained some injuries.. haha.. This is quite normal as i'm quite prone to injuries.. My butt hit the ground during the spidey game cuz there was some miscommunication. My teammates carried me through the hole that i was supposed to go through. When i was over the other side, someone let go of me b4 the person who was holding my legs. So butt down 1st then legs.. Ouch!!!! Got head-on by the opponents during the dodgeball.. tt was quite a painful bang.. Scrape my knee as a result i think.. After the game then i realised i was injured.. Haha. The best part of it was tt the scrape on my knee was in a heart shape... Tt was the most bizarre injury i had.. haha... My fren discovered tt the scrape on my knee was heart-shaped. She and my OGL were laughing n laughing aft tt...

Was so tired throughout the whole orientation... It was quite enjoyable though..

I dunno how i can tahan the long journey frm home to school and back home. I wanna a chaffeur.. HAH!!

Yoga ltr in the evening.. Looking forward to it..
