i will type in perfect english in order to prepare myself for the written test tomorrow. hopefully i will be able to think of some impressive opinions to write with respect to the article that they will be giving us tomorrow. And hopefully, i will be able to answer their current affairs questions with whatever limited current affairs knowledge that i have. Tomorrow, i'll need to bring alot of wool into the interview room to pull the wool over the interviewers' eyes. So, wish me alot of luck. Today is a soccer watching day. SA vs HC at Grange Road. The Grange Road field was in a bad state in my opinion. It was really muddy. Plus, there was even a hole in front of the goalpost! This was an important match as this would determine whether the soccer team is still in the race for semi-finals. They had alot of opportunities just that lady luck was not smiling upon them. Many a times, the ball was almost in the net, but somebody from the HC just had to be around to kick the ball away. HC was actually out to draw this game. So they were playing a very defensive game with many defenders. But the soccer team did not let the supporters and themselves down. They scored at the 91st min (not too sure of the exact timing but it was during injury time), winning HC with a score of 1-0! The crowd went wild and we cheered even louder when the referee blew his whistle. All in all, it was an exciting match. :) After soccer, Sharon and i went to town for dinner at Subway. Sharon has been craving for the food there that she was even imagining herself eating Subway sandwiches when we were playing maple story and entered this map called "The Subway". We were discussing about the platoon's names in army and we were wondering what name do they give for "A". All i could thought of was "AH MENG". (hahahaha). After dinner, it was shopping time. I finally got my $40 bag at Hula & Co. and i even bought a pair of slippers. Although i feel the pinch, but i think it was money well spent. Hopefully, my interview and test will turn out fine tomorrow. :) |

actually come to think about it. i hardly blog sad stuff.. stuff that are really personal to me. and when i do that once in a while rite, pple actually remember word for word that i typed here la. as i said, personal means i wouldnt want the entire world to know. so other than a blog, i keep a personal diary as well. if u do read my diary (which will nv happen), u may be shocked that i keep alot of things to myself... it didnt mean anything at all. like it never happened. dont say things when u dun mean it. Till I know where I'm supposed to be It's a long long journey And I don't know if I can believe When shadows fall and block my eyes I am lost and know that I must hide It's a long long journey Till I find my way home to you Many days I've spent Drifting on through empty shores Wondering what's my purpose Wondering how to make me strong I know I will falter I know I will cry I know you'll be standing by my side It's a long long journey And I need to be close to you Sometimes it feels no one understands I don't even know why I do the things I do When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul Will you break down these walls and pull me through Cause it's a long long journey Till I feel that I am worth the price You paid for me on Calvary Beneath those stormy skies When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes It feels like everything is out to make me lose control Cause it's a long long journey Till I find my way home to you To you growing up is tough. |

like any other days that i'm scheduled for driving lesson, i took bus 187 which leads directly to bbdc.. however, it was raining damn heavily this afternoon.. so i tot it wasnt the best day to learn driving but i paid for the lesson.. so i have to make my way there.. it was a rather peaceful bus ride.. i was looking thru the green colour practical book on the bus... den halfway, the bus stopped very long a particular bus stop.. and guess wad... the bus broke down! ok. so we got off the bus and all the passengers squeezed at the small busstop. we waited for the next bus to come coz i was going to be late for lesson.. but the next bus was equally crowded and i decided i shall take a cab instead. so when i was searching for my wallet, i realised that i couldnt find it! den i panicked. i went to a void deck, emptied my bag but my wallet was nowhere in sight. den it hit me hard that I HAVE LOST MY WALLET!!!!! no one in the right state of mind would be in the mood for driving.. so i didnt make my way there and wasted $58.80... den i called my mom, i called geraldine, i called sharon, i called everyone. ok, not everyone. but i called alot of pple.. sharon helped me call TIBS to check if i dropped it on the bus.. so they said they'll check and revert back to me.. den my dad called. he asked where i was coz i was stranded. with no money. and no ez link. and it was raining... so he drove arnd bukit batok area and finally found me stranded at a busstop.. den my dad drove me to the police post near my house to make a police report.. just before i got off the car, someone with an unknown no. called my phone.. i picked up and i heard the best news of the day. "Hi, is that Ms Ng? I'm calling from SMRT. We have found your wallet............." imagine the relief. so my dad drove me back to bukit batok bus interchange to pick up my wallet. and YAY. now i have my wallet safely back in my hands. though i didnt make it to driving lesson , at least i didnt have to go thru all the hassle of making police report, call up the bank to report loss of atm and pay $100 for ic replacement. quoting sharon "... the exciting life of an unemployed..." very true indeed. |

(im in her team) Sze Lin!! She's been such a great help at work and she nv screams at me for doing wrong things.. instead she encourages me. she's been promoted recently too. cheers to sze lin! :) :) :) :)  the temp staff! we're all going seperate ways i guess in future.. but pple, remember to stay in touch!!!  the wonderful batch of training pple celebrating our "freedom" at breeks :) i guess. this is a great end to my very first job! -claps- meanwhile, im a happy unemployed~ hah. |
