sorry for the lack of updates..really busy with work plus my com had a virus,which really sucks because i hate viruses.my colleagues are cool but i just dont like the nature of the work,i just dont like to please demanding people.did u know how many times i had to repeat *ibanez ibanez ibanez * in my head so i could stay sane.the customer is not always right and i even got scolded a few times for going out of my way to provide better service.the balance between profit and service is really ambiguous.


and work is taking over my life away from my friends and my hobbies.-.- missed alot of gatherings because of it *scowls* i suppose an admin job would be more manageable but it just doesnt appeal to me leh.i wish i was rich i wish i was rich.


but one thing i can take away from this la.i learn alot about public relations which usually i dont care about,but sometimes u just have to kiss ass,i must say.i would avoid this kind of job but it kind of clashes with my interests.i want something where i can interact with others but then also have my own private space to think


bought the career guide 2010 to get a better gauge of my interests.still NO IDEA what i want to do yet.i am mildly interested in medicine but i dont think i am good enough or whether i really possess the burning selfless passion that doctors have or whether i have the tenacity to go and operate on someone.very demanding job too, v hard to find scholarship.my parents thoughtfully bought for me education insurance but i just looked at the school fees it will barely cover la.


ok i give up HAHA.tink prob end up in media will take more gaming modules so i can draw more,even though i am hopelessly distinerested in gaming.....


this is not mine la since i cant upload any pics from my phone yet, am too lazy to install the software

went for first lesson at academy of rock today LOL everyone there was super friendly haha i tink i dun continue also paiseh.felt really claustrophobic in the room :( my palms were sweating.wish it wasnt so small and dark but oh well.haix.this is another reason i dont like guitar exams but that is another story for another day.





looking at my tremolo bridge guitar i wonder if i should have gotten one with the fixed bridge,the person who helped me tune left the bridge too high. and now nick complains tt it is okay for strumming but hard to tap as the strings are like super high above the fretboard.this kind of thing i think i have to settle myself la who ask me be so vain lol.i tink im like the opposite of my teacher he likes gibson and squier while i prefer ibanez and ESP =x i think i just prefer the image and the overall appeal of the products while he goes for simple and versatile.even though i still think gibson guitars are hideous and expensive-.- honestly some of the designs are so gaudy!








realized i cant be too reliant on the teacher ( in a good way of course) must really learn how to push myself.which is why i intend to buy Guitar for Dummies HAHAHAHHA.but at least know the basic theory la,tt one i think i can manage myself or else i will keep on feeling noob.






cant remember whether i am in the afternoon or mid shift tmr think i shall go early to check =x honestly i copied down the schedule twice alrd but halfway always interuppted by duties ( ie. the holy customer) then hv to chuck it away and serve them.

and for the sake of notetaking...


my monthly essential cost!
1)$130 permonth for guitar lessons
2)$107 permonth for braces ( which colour should i get next month?)
3) $xx for root canal treatment i am hoping fervently that my teeth dont spoil
4) antivirus,my msn is like spamming me with virus websites and my mail is sending random emails to the rest of the world so i tink may be quite dangerous.but once again the price and the time have me lagging.
5) a new wallet mine is bursting with cards and honestly i dont think i trust myself with a coach wallet in public
6) still considering if i should join the safari zoo run2010 i am pretty much bust by work recently.it is really go home then your whole day totally cui alrd.but then i asked a senior whether can change to part time and she said after chinese new year which is like another month damn.but then more money lah which means less guilt when i waste it =)





finally settled my electric guitar lessons and amp :D thanks to the friendly people who helped! meanwhile life is sucked by work work work x.x my senior kelly helped me ask if i could switch to part time..thanks loads to her !! i love everyone at chomel it is such a pleasant working environment( provided you do your job properly of cos) everyone there is a darling!dun even feel like job hopping at all like some of my frens!


so DROP BY AND BUY STUFF OKAY :D
HURRY THIS CNY OR ELSE!!!!!!!
TIP: DUN WAIT UNTIL THE CNY CROWD,EARLY BIRD HAS GOOOOOD BENEFITS TRUST ME.


didnt go chalet cos i had work.heard tt it was fun but nvm-.- shall avoid fb for the time being so i wun get jealous.LOL

work is getting less tiring by the day even though i am standing the same number of ungodly hours..i no longer need to soak my feet and can afford to stroll around during breaktimes.guys do visit and buy from me so i can get commision okay madame butterfly stuff is not as backwardish and cheena as i tot,got some stuff tt is really nice tt i would wear and trust me i am super fussy when it comes to accessories.more of a cute tee person xD

my life is being taken over by work.the afternoon shift is a real time sucker in the morning no mood to do much and when you get home late at night youre too tired to do anything.and my off is on thurs so i tink i cant go class chalet =( as i have afternoon shift on tt day and i dont have a regular schedule so i cant sign up for programmes or anything.* frowns* guess it is self entertain for now.i shouldnt have commited knowing all the stuff i have to settle. FEET PAIN FEET PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!must soak my feet in warm water whenever i get home now i have fragile feet bones.

-braces appointment (argh i might need root canal say dr bruce chew a la kungfu dentist,he got loads of figurines of bruce lee as gifts from his patients LOL)
-i wanna new backpack and clothes xD my handbag is getting annoying because my bottle will leak irrationally and make all my stuff in my bag wet and i will cry.i seem to be prone to leaky water bottles oh curse the plastic manufacturers.

-buy a new drumset for sis! :D her birthday i tink she is still beginning her lessons.this is perhaps to alleviate my guilt that i bought a guitar for myself and am planning to buy more..hmmmm...deal with the $$$ first!!!bonus bonus!!!

-bring ibby(temporary name for my ibanez while i was thinking of a name,instrument must have feeling then got name,but then ibby kind of stuck-.-) to the doctor!i tink got more technicians there la,got a few good recommendations online.hmm i dont want this to end as as half hearted as my relationship with classical music.it is hard to be dedicated to improving yourself if you dont even enjoy the product of your craft.

other than that fun working environment and lovely seniors at chomel ^^ drop by taka @ orchard madame butterfly(it is a sister brand to chomel with an oriental concept...never would have known!) to say hi if you are free!and buy stuff if you find it nice! tot it was some cheena themed store initially but then some of the accessories are stuff that even i would wear and i am one fussy and stingy woman.


i really dont want to waste this holiday doing nothing like the previous ones.i admit tt working is a great albeit tiring experience,really exposed to all sorts of people,learn how to talk to strangers albeit in an awkward or stiff manner initially x.x plus i know all the taka secrets now muahahhaha! xD might be useful sometime...


and i want to buy shirts from http://snorgtees.com/ !!!!think it is loads better than threadless.problem is how to convince my mum to clear out the rest of my wardrobe she still tinks that as long as clothes are not in shreds they are still wearable-.-haha but i get bored of stuff easily.

employed now in orchard taka,going vivo for training during the weekend.anyone wanna stop by and say hi are always free to do so.haha :) jus give me a message the day before in case it is my off day.nt gg blog much abt work,im kind of bound by clause xxx in my contract...x.x but all the people there are really nice so i guess im lucky.

<3>


ever since jeng (the guy who sold me my guitar) told me about john petrucci ive been reading up on him and listening to him..sometimes it is kind of interesting to read up on history.though long haired rockers are not typical idols of 19 year old salesgirls.i wonder if i can bring my guitar to practise during break at work cos i wont wanna shop much.might have to padlock it though im kind of scared.


mom is complaining again tsk.parents ah,even if you make them happy now,they will still find things to be unhappy about later.she doesnt want me to work but i dont have much of a choice unless i wipe out my bank acct. cos i wanna..


1) lessons on guitar since my schedule is not fixed ill practice randomly now( in cluding my classical stuff) to develop the gan qing.
2) pay half?( depending on the price lol) for my sister's future drumset/soundproof room
3)lost the adaptor to my amps and it is this weird plug thingamagig of which im trying to find an adaptor and FAIL -.-
4) SHOPPING
5)do something to my hair the texture is horrible i jus realized from the syc bbq photos tt it looks really terrible
6) renovate my room
7) learn boxing or krav maga.LOL.



sweet child o' mine.~looking forward to chinese new year for da moolah...

starting work tmr! hope i dont screw anything up cos im quite blur.haha.

i hope michelle can work with me i really need some company or else i will feel so lonely D:and plus the company is always good,when i met up with michelle and sharon before the bbq even i was surprised by how much i missed them...well absence makes the heart grow fonder...and thanks sharon for the metal picks and the biscuits ill give you your present during the chalet! :p

quite -.- that i have to wear makeup to work.and some more the makeup set tt mom bought me dun match my specs guess i have to wear my contacts again.u guys are always free to meet me during my lunch break to chitchat or something! :D jus drop me an sms.



and yeah kaijie if you are reading this,pick up cello again!=) despite the cost it is a pity to let your 6 years worth of skills go to waste and i tink music is sth quite fulfiling in your life.not because i want to hear cello music hahah ( cello is my favourite instrument actually,lovely bass sounds.alot of people alwz tot my fav instrument was the guitar or ruan lol.i always tried to record the cello solo during CO practices with my handphone =x)


and minor note: im a little pissed by the condescension of ppl who cannot read notes.like u dun need to imply tt i suck because i can read notes?like that does not even make any sense.and u cant call yourself a classical musician if you cannot read notes,because tt is what the entire fucking exam is based on.jus because u have a guitar with nylon strings doesnt mean you are a classical guitarist.and being able to read notes is NOT useless.

got my guitar yay though i think the tremolo bridge part is not so good.my ampz is shingz so might get a new one depends if i buy online might get jlau to accompany me,he looks intimidating enough (tanned,pimpled and bald)if he doesnt open his mouth.haha serves you right for giving me a dying rubber chicken for christmas xD oh yeah since i hvnt shown u guys wht it looks like yet..









the thing is like half a metre long i swear and it didnt help tt the wrapping paper dropped off halfway.


okay back to not digressing.

ill post nice pics once i can get my phone to work!
=)) left it on my bed super obviously,but my mum din ask me abt it,instead she screamed at me for not cleaning my room and drinking too much bubble tea LOL.


felt quite bad for bothering gary( a random 09 participant) for something tt is my own business cos usually i dont like to bother people with my stuff.thanks for helping me with my guitar! it is like,my sis is getting a drumset( she is taking lessons in My Drum School,and she is a really pro percussionist from her sch band) and im getting noisy instruments,i tink can get soundproof room liao or we would disturb our irritating neighbours.or maybe that would be a waste of money-.- hmm dun tink there is any way to mute drums is there i must ask my fren abt tt.


had an syc bbq.not bad quite fun even though it rained epicly at the start and i was so scared that our bbq would be ruined.some played tennis until they looked like they jus got out of the pool,some people played ping pong.,some people were bbq-ing fantically and not eating,xav mommy siew siew etc.walked around,crapped with as many participants i could even though i forgot half their names..and i tink it is a pity i dun get to know some of them better,seem to be really nice people.



made marshmallow goo cos there were no sticks to poke the marshmallows! :D linus claims he patented the recipe.ended up squishy on one side n crispy on e other.

was trusted with loads of information tt day.hmm.took a softer approach towards judging such stuff instd of the usual get-over-it-you-are-a-loser mentality tt most of my group-of-friends-which-i-hang-out-with-which-are-not-a-clique have.but i dont really let people's stuff affect me too much,it solves itself in the end.just stay positive and surround yourself with crappy people to lift your mood la!and i heard xaviers love story also,really sweet i hope the both of them work it out they are a really cute couple.



went home with abhi and sher aft tt.and talked abt stuff...haix.sometimes it is better not to think so much.but then i really appreciate abhi's effort in organizing the bbq...his effort to maintain a gd relationship with the indians.im touched tt this camp mattered alot to him.and i hope tt he can become an ace next yr haha if the passion doesnt die down.this kind of thing must wait and see.

realized when i got home i was still a bit drunk from the vodka and pepsi-.- how did i become so noobz why why why D: stil remember my first major exp with alcohol in class chalet,5 glasses of undiluted vodka + alize and stuff and a sore throat for the rest of the week...not like i wouldnt do it agn in the class chalet nxt time.:)


and today i watched sherlock holmes with lisa and she didnt like it but i thought it was nice D: purists will be horrified cos they totally slaughtered Holmes,becomes the Hot Action Hero with the Sexy Six Pack.and Watson always made me had the impression (yes i read all 64 of sherlock holmes stories and i am PROUD of it.was always interested in detective work and stuff,but this is another blog post for another day :)) that he was a fat bumbling doc,so to me it was like since when he so sexy with a hot fiance de.i hated some parts of the directing because the flashbacks were irritating and there was more action than intelligence.and the fire boomz were totally over the top......-.- totally a waste of construction resources.
