I have finally cut my hair on Saturday and it is getting irritating cause it is so long and thick and the weather is not very helpful too. After cutting my hair, I cab down to Harbour Front centre to meet Ian and Venetia at the Sentosa Express gantry. I went to old chang kee first to get some food and on the way met them just finish buying the drinks and tidbits. We proceed to take the rail to the beach to meet up with the rest. When we got there, we played captains ball, followed by volley ball and finally some friskbee and finally it ended with them burying me in the sand. Well it was a fun day to enjoy some sun, have fun and catch up with each other. At 6, I went off for my meeting.

I realised that I have been updating like only once a week recently and I guess I am too tired when I reached home and to add on to that, I have to wake up earlier now for the job. Well I am not complaining since the pay is decent and now I only have 3 more days left. This week has been a super busy week for me with a walk in ad for mailroom assistant and I was literally flooded with interviews the whole day and to add on to that, I have to fill my own temps and the rest of the team is still bugging me with crap like 1 or 2 day jobs which really irritates me. But I am too busy to care man. Luckily Elaine helped me sell one candidate and also by God’s grace, I managed to fill 3 temps myself, in total this week, I fill 3.0 plus parking and well 2.0 was my own candidate. Now we are really having some pressure by the CEO and underperforming temps will face termination, well I know that my division will help me as much as they can but at the end of the day, I still have to work hard. Furthermore it is really difficult to work nowadays with so many people and so little computer to work with and our job literally relies on the computer. At the end of the day, its no use making excuses just try to do the best that I can and bring in more sales for the team. For next week, I will try to fill the marketing position, mailroom position and hopefully fill around 2.0 for the week again. I really hate it sometimes when people say that I only feed on parking and don’t contribute to filling temps myself but really they don’t see the amount of work that I have on top of my usual work, I am really busy with lots of admin work but well as long as God knows and the right people know it is ok. I foresee more staying back late to clear mails and do up CVs to be faster then the rest.
Went for dinner with Venetia, Vivian, Nathan and Shaun at Bugis just now and we initially wanted to eat at this place called Miss Clarity Café but it was too full and after waiting for so long and also Venetia had to be home by 9, we decided to eat at Hans instead. I was very hungry by that time and had the chicken chop which was not bad. After dinner, Venetia cab home as she was rushing while the rest walked to Dhoby Ghaut where Nathan is going to catch a movie with his friend. Vivian, Shaun and I went to the arcade at PS where we played the basketball game, the photo one and time crisis 2. After that, Evon joined us and we played a game before going back home.
Haircut at 2pm tomorrow and after that I have to rush to Sentosa to meet them and then to church for my mission meeting.

Swimming on Saturday with Liang Ying and this time I managed 23 laps without stopping and well it is an improvement from the last time when I only managed 20 and feel quite dead after that. Liang Ying also got his license liao on Friday and now when we want we can hopefully rent a car and drive out. Lolz. After the swim, we went to have frog porridge and it cost like $19 bucks but it was good and quite worth the money. After our dinner I went to church for the mission trip meeting and well now there is a problem cause we need to apply for a visa now in view of the situation due to the Olympics. Have to pray for God to provide.
Just finished the movie, The Bucket List, the movie is about the lives of 2 man who are about to die and how they live out their last days and what they came to realize was the most important. For me, after watching the show, I guess I really have a lot of things that I wanted to do but well hopefully I have the chance next time. I want to drive a sports car, travel around the world and be someone powerful and rich. That’s for starters and I guess that’s what many people want too. Anyway the movie is really good and I recommend it to everyone.

Monday was the first day that I started my morning job recording bus plates, time of arrival and number of people on board for the HSBC shuttle bus. I start my day at 7:30 standing outside the HSBC building and at around 8:30 after the last bus left, I went back to work. It is not a very tough job, just have to wake up early and the salary is decent. After work, the temps went to watch Untraceable at Cine. We met up, had a quick dinner and was a little late for the movie. The movie is about this killer who bum off people online for all to see and the more people who view his site, the faster the person dies and they are all people related to the publicity of his father’s death. Well it’s a pretty much expected plot and the killer is not very smart in the way he design the killings. Not a very good movie to recommend.
On Tuesday, Liang Ying and I went down to Shu Wen and Jing Wen’s hostel to give them a surprise birthday celebration. We met up at Jurong Point, get a cake and sparkling juice and went to their room. When I called to check on their location, we realised that they are not in the room, so we told them that there would be a cake delivered to their room and Jing Wen rushed back and when we reached there, only Shu Wen was in the room while Jing Wen went to get her stuff from the place that she was studying at. We took photos, cut the cake, had the juice and went back at around 8:30 for them to study and we are going to celebrate for them again after their exams.
Today was the medical check up at NTU and after my morning job, I went to NTU and well it was a pretty fast procedure, with taking of height, weight, checking of eye, urine test, seeing the doctor and finally an X Ray and everything is done. I went back to work at around 11:45 and continue working.
Well it never occurred to me that you are the one……………………

Its been a long time since I blog, and lots of overdue and backlog entries and event to talk about. I have just finished my latest project which was Ivy’s birthday present. I made a card and a cross stitch tissue holder for her and well the general comments from the rest of RE was that it was ugly and the card is very rigid and engineered like me. Well but in the end they also commented that it was good effort for someone like me and well Ivy was happy with it too. Must say the 2 weeks of work really paid off and I was like literally rushing it through the night and sleeping late for it.
On the 5th, the temp staff went to Escape Theme Park and well it was pretty boring but the people you go with is important and it will not be boring with the rest around. We tried almost all the rides and the haunted house was where I had the most fun scaring Vivian and Evon while they scream their way through the whole journey. The pirate was the one which gave us the most kick and the inverter was the scariest ride for me. After the rides, we to play the Go kart where we queued for about an hour and thereafter we went to TM to meet Venetia for dinner at Fish and Co where it was my first time there. A few days before, the whole office was like shocked at me cause apparently I have never eaten there before and they were like oh man which cave did you live in and so I decided to break my Fish and Co virginity. I had a picture taken with the menu for remembrance too. After the dinner, we shopped around for a while and thereafter I took 969 back.
On Thursday, we had Banking 3 division dinner at Sushi Tei to celebrate Ivy’s dinner. During the dinner, we took some photos and also the pictures of the food which was taken by Elaine. The food is good and the ambience is good too and we had the seat in the cosy looking pavilion like table. After the dinner, we slack around for a while before going for shopping. So I followed them around to River Island, Dorothy Perkins and finally we went to Cocoa Tree to buy chocolates. After that I made my way back to finish my card and also the cross stitch.
We had a cake to celebrate Ivy’s birthday today and Derek came along to surprise her and she cried. I guess she was too touched and later it was photo taking and eating of cake. The strawberry cake was good and Jaslyn bought it from Taka and I went down to meet her and to get the cake.
Starting Monday for 2 weeks, I will be working from 7:30 to 8:45 recording bus arrival for HSBC at raffles place. It not a bad job and the pay is like 15 per hour. Extra $250 for the month. Woohoo.
