We all have some, want more and dream about winning enough to quit work and jet around the world. And, it seems that money is never enough.
Money is always an issue for people. Yes, people like me. Infact, it is one of the major issue now in my life.
Thanks to the current economic climate, it was indeed difficult to find a permanent part time job during my holidays. And now, school is starting in two weeks time.
How can I survive with less than 50 bucks in my bank? My gosh, I've never felt so broke before in my entire life. hahaha!
But well, there's three things to look forward for.
1) Clarins pay
2) PC Show pay
3) and of cos.....GST package! :)

Father's day dinner on Wednesday night was held at some Peranakan Restaurant near Upper Thomson Road.Food was great. Especially the curry fish head and my all-time favourite lady's fingers.
It has been a loooong time since the whole lot of us sat down together for a meal like this. Even our domestic maid were there. And my future sister-in-law as well. (damnit, when my brother gets married this end of year, I'll be left all alone.)
Wanted to head to Geylang for durian feast after the dinner but our stomach were all bloated by then.
Brought my mum to CGH in the morning for her check-up. Had health screening and all and the moment I started sneezing, the nurse asked me to walk through the screening again. And we were made to wear the mask. Like I said, I'm not afraid I'll get infected by H1N1. I'm more afraid I'll infect the people around me.
Anyways, I'm relieved to hear that my mum is in stable condition now. And I'm glad she is eating more than her usual meal. :) She looks sooo much better compared to last two weeks when I visited her in the hospital.
I hope her condition will be better and obviously I'm hoping that she will come to know the Lord and not be corrupted by that
Thursday was the meetup/catch up day!
Finally after -I can't remember- how many months or maybe even years, I met Patricia; a secondary school senior of mine.
Had a great time catching up with her. :) It's been ages man!
After her, it was Jeremy brother. This "brother" of mine is leaving for London to further his studies for four years. I thought he's migrating. Chey!! lols.
Had a goood time at Cafe Cartel talking about the good old days. How we actually met and ended up being friends. I'm happy that he found his partner. He's not the old Jeremy anymore - quoted by himself. hah!
The next time I'll see him will most likely be his belated cum farewell dinner.
Okay, I'm getting more and more paranoid now. Why? Because to date, there's ELEVEN cases reported at Butter. And and AND one more motivator has been tested postitve.
Man, this whole virus is spreading way too fast till I don't even want to step out of the house.
The other time was SARS, now its H1N1. I wonder what's next.
After so much consideration, I'm finally chopping off my hair....... I hope I won't change my mind.

Yes, I was at Butterfactory last Wednesday. And the latest news I heard is, there's NINE cases of H1N1 reported at Butterfactory last Wednesday.Well, thanks for those who asked if I'm okay. I don't know if you people are afraid I'll implicate you guys or whether you people truly cares. But whatever it is, I'm fine! I'm down with flu though.
And no doubt, I admit, I'm feeling very paranoid about this whole H1N1. Why? Well, firstly, I'm not afraid of me getting the disease. What I'm more afraid of is my family members and friends around me will get infected.
I'm out there partying and playing while my family members are out there working hard. IF any of us really got the disease, then I think I'll most likely be the culprit and I'll be guilty for the rest of my life.
So, right now, I've decided to STOP yes, I repeat STOP partying or head to any crowded places. NOT even pubs to have a drink. I don't wanna implicate my loved ones.
Oh, and I JUST received an email from my big boss that one NDP Motivator from Republic Poly has been tested positive for H1N1. Now, the whole cluster has been quarantined.
And so because of this, the whole ndp motivators including us (mentors) will need to check our temperature and bring our personal thermometer every sat for rehearsels.
I'm feeling even more paranoid now.

It's been ages since I last felt upset over someone. And this feeling sucks totally. And I hope, thisIt's never easy to understand someone.
Okay anyways, after two weeks of busy working, we headed down to Butterfactory on Wednesday. Summer joined us for the very first time and man, it's been like what? 4372962 years since we partied together!
Thanks to Mr Liu for making his trip down from work just to get all five of us in. Deeply appreciated!!
Friday night was Ross Tooley's seminar in Church.
The moment I entered church, my sister was kinda shocked to see me. I think she finds it shocked that I'm actually in church on a Friday night. Hah!
Firstly, Friday is the only day I can really catch up with my friends and it's the only day I'll stay out till late.
So, It's very very VERY rare to see me in church on a Friday night. But oh wells, I'm glad I went. The seminar was great. The speaker made me stay awake throughout the whole two hours of seminar. And I enjoyed the fellowship with the GEL youth after the seminar.
I finally ease my cravings for Bedok 85 Satay Bee Hoon! :)
NDP2009 first combined rehearsel at Marina Platform the next day.
Frankly speaking, this is the messiest ndp so far. Everything was not according to plan and I was kinda lost most of the time.
The weather was unbearable. The sun was so hot that you could fry an omelette. I'm so sure I'm gonna have weird tanned lines after the whole rehearsels. /dang.
And this year, our holding area is at the F1 pit.
The whole rehearsel ended at around 1030pm.
Met up with Peh and Jerome for a short catch up. Sergeant Ng was busy carrying the barricades and so, I didn't had the chance to talk to him.
Was great bumping into them at the platform. I think that's the only way we can do our catch up because ever since the guys entered the army, instead of us (the girls) being busy, its the other way round now!
Anyways, I'm thinking of closing down this online diary of mine and switch back to the times where we write our daily happenings/thoughts in a book. Why? I think it's kinda fun because by writing in a book, you can do whatever you want. Scribble, sketch, draw nonsense stuff, etc.
But then again, do I really have so much time to actually do all those?
School's starting in mid July. And this week will probably be my last week of enjoyment because next week onwards, I'm gonna start studying for my accounting.
Final theory test tomorrow and somehow I'm not prepared for it.

Last night, Chloe and myself attended Melvin's wedding dinner at Singapore Expo Bliss Garden Restaurant.Talking about Melvin, it's weird how the both of us actually met.
This friend of mine is actually my used to be best buddy; Eddie's bunkmate back in their army days. And back in those days, both Melvin and I actually "dated" each other.
Come to think of it, I think it's kinda funny that I somehow lost contact with Eddie and became Melvin's goodfriend.
And no doubt, I'm happy for this friend of mine because he finally found his lifetime partner. =)
Marriage is a lifetime commitment. Being able to witness them taking their marriage vows, exchanging their rings, etc. No doubt, I'm truly happy for this friend of mine and I hereby wish him all the best. :)

The four days of PC show ended last night. Man, I'm so deprived of my sleep.Frankly speaking, out of all the IT fairs/PC shows I've worked, this is so far the worst show ever. Eleven laptops sold in four days is only equivalent to $110 of commission.
But well, one good thing about this show is that I've made awesome friends. Thus, I've decided to give Dell another chance and hope the next PC show will be a better one. hah!
Last Tuesday, I made my virgin trip to Siglap. Yes, I've never been to Siglap! oh, what a noob.
E and myself got invited by Nic to attend his birthday celebration at Georges. By the time we both arrived, together with Stan and Bear, Nic was already half gone.
Both E and myself went around exploring Siglap while the rest drank with Nic.
And I was shocked to see the loooooong queue at Siglap's Gelare. I didn't know Siglap was that happening.
Now that PC show has ended, I'll have about 2-3 more weeks of holidays before school re-opens in Mid July.
Sigh, I don't know if I made the right decision to take only three modules next sem.
Taking three modules next sem would mean pushing my graduation for another sem. But like what the advisor say, I should drop a module and focus on one instead of two. I hope this time round, I'll pass. I never want to see the same lecturer's face again!!!
Some people just don't understand.

For the past few days, I haven't been feeling too good. I tried keeping myself busy by working and doing whatever things so that I won't keep thinking about things which has already happened.No doubt, times when I'm alone, thoughts just kept flowing through my mind.
I always thought I was strong. But its times like this which made me realised how weak I am.
Just because of one rotten tree in the forest, I gave up the entire forest without checking the other trees.
People always say "failure is the road to success". I used to believe in this sentence and I don't know if I should believe in this sentence one more time.
It's never easy to cure a disappointment. Nobody said it was.

Three days of torture has ended.The full-time staff gave me six samples to try because I've never used Clarins products before. These six samples include two One-step cleanser, Toner, Hydra Quench Bi-Phase Serum, Hydra Quench Cream and Intensive facial mask.
Good thing about working under cosmetics/skin-care company is that they'll teach you the correct way to cleanse your face and what kind of cleanser/toner/moisturizer is suitable for your skin.
After working for Clarins, I began to worry about my eyes because I've never use a specific eye make-up remover to remove my eyeliner/eye shadows before.
I must say the full-time staff at Parkway Parade was sooo friendly and approachable that she took her free time to advise me on the steps to proper skin care.
I always thought using facial make-up remover wipes is good enough to clean off your make-up but man, I WAS SO WRONG!
That explains why I always have fine lines/wrinkles.
After hearing what the beauty specialist say, I got so worried that I immediately msg a friend of mine to accompany me to get all the necessary moisturizers/toners/removers, etc.
Suddenly, I realised it's kinda too late for me to really understand the importance of skin care because I'm 23 already. No more eighteens and twentyones! I feel so old now! :(
Actually, I think these three days is not that bad afterall. At least I've learnt something new and gained a new experience. The interview, the audition and the training, it all came in handy.
Now that Clarins assignment is done, next up will be IT Fair from 11th-14th June.
This time round, I'll be transferred over to Dell. No more Lenovo. (though it's still under the same company) Anyone interested to get a laptop, do not hesitate to look for probably the erm... slimmest girl in Dell.
F1 casting at 2pm later. Still deciding if I should go because there's so many things happening today!!
Back to office to return uniform and timesheet. Then it's window-shopping with E followed by dinner with Mr Ng and airport in the night to send the GEL team off to Cebu for mission trip.
This is the time of a serious major decision making. When I say serious, I really meant serious. Nothing relating to the

After four months, I finally met up with my girlfriends!
Sabrina; the planning head planned a mini picnic at East Coast Park.
We met at around 5pm and settled down near ECP food centre.
Layed our mats and happily sat down, talking, catching up and updating each other about our lives.
For 45 mins, we were chatting happily till sabby and myself felt something poking our thighs.
At first, we thought it was the grass and so, we beared with the pain (because at that time, we were waiting for Tanweishan to arrive)
But after awhile, our thighs felt itchy and I seriously couldn't take it anymore. I stood up, flipped over my mat and I got a shocked of my life!
The mat was infested with RED ANTS!! YES! BIG RED BLOODY ANTS!
I'm feeling very disgusted now as I think about the RED ANTS. Can you imagine? We were sitting on red ants for 45 mins and we didn't know? And when I say infested with red ants, I really meant infested. The whole mat was basically filled with red ants! I'M NOT KIDDING!
I threw the mat without even sweeping the ants away. And thanks to them, you can spot few spots on my thighs now. DAMN GROSS!
WomanILove came after two hours. We continued with our girls talk and recently, I realised many of my friends are having relationship problems.
Till date, I have at least 6 friends undergoing BGR problems.
It is times like this which makes me not want to be in a relationship. Well, I guess this is part and parcel of life isn't it?
Oh wells, whatever it is, I hope my two girlfriends are coping well.

Fyonne dear is leaving for Shanghai in another 14 more hours!
One month without her will definately be boring and of cause, it will be soooooo different without her.
Come to think of it, we only known each other for about a year. But, it seems like forever!
The one thing that I'll cherished the most in SIM is getting to know wonderful friends like Fyonne and probably united puffs!
There's this saying "it is by chance we met, by choice we became friends" and yes, I'm glad I made the correct choice and I thank God for giving me a chance to meet this wonderful girl. Without her, school will never be fun.
E and myself spent our last night with her by having zhi char at the community centre near her place and swensens giant earthquake ice-cream at T2. (thanks to alexius and nic)
Tears rolled down while we bid our final goodbyes and gave our final warmest hugs.
Like what F says "absence makes the heart grows fonder." It is true! I am already counting down to July 1st.
Now, it is times like this that I'm hoping time will faster fly.
COME BACK SOON! :(
Okay, it's going to be 3am soon and I got to wake up in 7 hours time!
First day of work at Clarins and I can't wait for these 3 days "event" to end.
IT Fair is coming up next and yay, I can see some moolahs coming in. :)
