I never blog for a few days already. Haha... Not that there is nothing to blog but I am just lazy. Haha... Okie so here goes... Thursday I had lunch with the Group financial controller, financial controller and some other colleagues to celebrate Linda's (my supervisor) birthday at ichiban. Haha... Somehow I become the center of attraction cos all of them like to make fun of me. "-_- However, Thursday ended on a sour note. Haiz. So sad. Cos I was tasked to do data entry for some plan. Then I don't know why there were mistakes. So sad. I was quite certain I checked against the original copy before I mailed it to Evelyn who will then mail it to Linda after she checked my work. But oh wells. Ya... A mistake is a mistake. So sad. First time I make a mistake at work. First time!! Sobz. After work on thursday, I went to buy new handphone. The LGKU990 Viewty. Its a great phone but the camera is a bit disappointing. Its not very sharp for a 5 mp camera. I tink LG is damn smart cos the lens, flash, auto focus and iso used for this camera is capable of taking sharp images but LG used its firmware to bring the shooting quality down. So that after a while people are sianz of the camera and soon LG without the need of R&D and heavy investment they launch another model without the firmware constraints where the camera captures crystal clear images. And viola... They earn by selling at a premium. Nevertheless, if the settings of the camera is set properly based on the environment sharp images is still possible. I have been fiddling with te settings these few days to determine the best. Yesterday was friday and many people took leave. The office was quite quiet. I had nothing much to do as both Linda and Suzie (the two who will find work for me to do) were on leave. So I did the outstanding tasks Suzie gave me and was rotting away. Haha... So I walked around. Hahaha... Asking for things to do. SO.. Cecelia the assistant accountant taught me how to use VLookup to do reconciliation. WOW!!! Haha... I learnt something!! =] Okie so you guys were right to say that I was pessimistic about my internship. Haha... So anyways... The VLookup function in Excel is really quite good a tool to use. =] Its not a fantastic function that many people don't know. In fact I think some of you all reading this would know how to use VLookup but the point is I don't mahz... Then now I KNOW!!! COOL~ Haha... So this marks the end of the third week of internship. I got my prorated May allowance. Haha... =] Money money come. But its actually quite little lahz. But better than nothing lorz. After work went to meet Yiling, Yimin (Yiling's younger sis), Joanne and Sheng Cao for ktv in orchard partyworld. Oh ya... And we had dinner at this rabbit brand shop which sells premium things like shark's fins etc. at low prices. Its quite popular and I think alot of people know about it. The food is nice lahz... But the portion is small. The service is good. This explains why business is brisk for this like machaim coffee shop eatery. Ya... So you all can go try. Its in Lucky Plaza Level 2. The set meals are less than 10 bucks. Real steal. And if you order the right set I think is set M, you will see a piece of shark's fin on the egg itself. Haha... And and and the soup is nice!! OKie so... go try go try. Haha... Okie...so some photos of yesterday's ktv... Lazy to post the rest...
As for today... There was no sun but clouds and rain. So i nua-ed at home. Haha... I wan to go swim and get tanned. Okie vain. But ya. Haha... In the end I spent my whole day meddling with my new handphone. At the end of the day, I got the iphone theme up on my viewty. Haha... Its realli like iphone interface now but not 100% lahz. about 75% i guess. Haha... =] Hope tml there will be sun for me to go swimming.

Today I was the sai gang warrior. Haha... I carried piles and piles of documents from the office to the store room which really got no air con and no ventilation. Haha... I was tasked to arrange the piles in order and load them on the compactus. Haha... I sweat like hell. Haiz... And the dust from the compactus fall all over my face. Plus sweat... Woohoo~ New pimples. My face just got worst. haha... Oh wells. I am getting used to it lahz. Haha... I mean its lidat lahz. I should stop comparing and think that others got a better deal. I guess we all have things that we don't like about our own internship ba. For me its the jobscope while for others maybe the people. So ya. I just have to face it. Do it and wells maybe carrying stuff will make me learn something ba. Haha... ya lorz... Life... Hahaha... I should stop feeling sianz shouldn't I? Haha... Lucky me got good people in the office. So wells.... I should be happy lahz. I guess when the new sem starts I should stop slacking and start to create opportunities for myself. Go for many networking events organised by the school. Try to join CCAs committee and start to beef up my resume. If not... Try to curry favour thomas seet and ask him to help me find job. Hahaha... Yeah... So new sem new goals. And I hope that my results for the year 2 sem2 will be good so that thomas seet will give me more attention when he sees me cos he is reknowned for like not giving attention to people with low GPAs. Yeah... When internship is over I will start to read up on more finance stuff. Anyone sell me your equities textbook? I have been cutting relevant newspaper articles to like keep and read. Rebbekah has given me some finance books to wish me good luck in my future endeavour when she left the company. So yeah. Lots of stuff to do. I should start to enrich myself and stop complaining about my plight about the internship. I have myself to blame for being lazy and not having enough knowledge and enough credentials. So ya. Time to wake up. The industry is competitive and to get a good job I must be more zai. Although I started very much later, it is never too late. Also... I am not like totally ignornant and stupid. I am smart and quick learner. Hahaha... =] Confidence, hope and belief is the key. Hahaha... Hope is everywhere. Hahaha... Okie Cliche... time to sleep. ZZzzzzz...

I had a bad day at work today. I was given a weird task. Call these companies to ask them to pay up okie? Sounds normal? Yeah of course. The weird part is 1. I am not given the contacts of the companies, 2. I am not given the person-in-charged, 3. I am not given details of the transaction what goods/service have the company provided to demand for this payment from these companies? 4. Some accounts receivables were as old as like 4 years old? So in the absence of details, success rates of me calling the right person to recover the accounts receivables was low. The task was a painful and arduous journey. Reminds me of the song by corrine may "Its a long long journey, and I don't know if I can believe..." Haha... So ya. One thing is like I am aksing people "Eh pay me 300 bucks okie! But i dunno why you need to pay me 300." Haha... Sounds stupid but ya... Just in case people think aiya... that Zhanyi is pessimistic again. Not possible got such things happen or aiya he just making up things, I am sure its not that bad. Then I have to say... Oh wells... I am not lying. Full stop. I am really doing shit job and if anyone were to be doing that they will oso complain like me. But nevertheless, I tink i handled it well lahz. Haha... I am given shit job cos I am not a gem which belongs to a jewllery box but toiletries stored in a normal wooden box. Haha... So I dun expect much lahz. Just swallow it when it comes. Why I categorize myself as toiletries? Cos I am the kind of worker that is indispensable in the sense I will do everything that people dun wan to do and I will do everything that must be done but is too simple to be done by gems. Hahaha... So its toiletries. Haha... You need toiletries everyday but you won't really treausre it like diamonds and jewelleries. So ya... Haha... I am drawing some funny and stupid analogy again. After work, I went to meet Guiying for dinner. Haha... Its alwaes great to meet with her. Cos its just very comfortable and very happy to be out with her. So cheery. We had nydc. =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] 8 smiles... Huat ah!! Hope I stay happy all day.

Today I went swimming and the sun was as I wished extra strong. And My sun tan lotion couldn't protect my skin enough and I got burned. Now I am a true blue tomatoez. Hahaha... Red red face and skin. Then I went to met abner in town. Haha... "-_- He wanted to search for prezzie for the ger he like. Make me travel to so many places with him. So tiring. And he said something which made me emo for the whole day even until now. Plus I was already emo about something else. So I was very sianz and you know... Ya... We went to queensway just to find a ManU jersey that he wans to get for the ger. And like... "-_- Didn't buy! Omg... Cos he thinks its fake one. 80 plus jersey fake mehz? Haha... dunno. So we just go over to Anchor point to look at the factory outlet stores... Like Predo outlet and stuff. But actually its the same. No difference the price. Only those very very very very very very old and ugly models are like on discount. "-_- Then I accompanied abner to Central to meet his fren lorz. Then I headed for bus home. But somehow I was emo and I didn;t wan to go home. So I saw many people in bugis so i alighted and walked around. I found a pair of berms shorts at onli $20... So I bought it to like make myself happy and hopefully less emo. So yeah... That's my day. Should stop feeling emo liaoz. Tml early morning tuition. =]

Today is friday and its dressed down day and also the company wide family day. So all of us were allowed to knock off at 5pm today to go home and have dinner with our family. Haha... So in the end I had 2 hours of free time before I go and meet army friends for dinner. So I went to walk around aimlessly in city hall area. Everywhere is having sales and everywhere is filled with people. I came across a pair of vest in topman and I went to try it on. Haha... I was bored. I didn't habour any intention to buy it. So i tried it on and took a photo of it. Haha... Lame. I was bored. The night was boring. Yawnz. We had dinner at the jap pasta rest in citylink. Everyone lamented that my idea to eat there was a bad one. I think its nice wad. "-_- Oh wells. When you ask them to suggest where, they will answer anything. When you suggest somewhere they don't like they lament. Then we went cineleisure thinking that we will be able to play the nitendo Wii or xbox 360. In the end, there were no spaces left and the next available slots is like 11pm which everyone didn't want to wait. We ended up in the Arcade which is like "-_- And then we decide to grab a bite at burger king and went home. Boring... Oh ya... I met Cassie from OCBC yesterday. Haha... It has been so long ever since I last saw her that I didn't recognise her until she called me. Haha... OCBC was doing a roadshow in my company together with NTUC income. Then we had a short chat with each other. And... I found out something which really confirm the fact that networking and getting a job though connection far surpass that of getting a job with own ability. Yihui's experience of getting withdrawn from OCBC's internship is an good example. Haha... Enough said. I have been harping on this internship issue for so long. So I guess I should stop. One good thing in SCS is that the people are always so funny and I always can joke around feeling so relaxed. =] Tml shall be a great day for me. Cos I am going swimming. Wee~ There better be strong sunlight from 8am all the way to 12pm. hahaha... =]

The channle 8 9 pm drama serial is damn emo. But what happens in the show is true. No doubt many people will think local shows are cliche but this really depicts what happens in life. If we don't cherish the people around us and take them for granted, we will only realise his/her importance in our life; what he/she has done for us in our life when they were still around, only when they are no longer in our life. In life, we are always caught up with the things we want and we often neglect what we already have. Very often, we may even be oblivious of the things we already have. Seriously, the show tells me a message: Stop and look around, the most precious things are just next to me. Don't miss it anymore. Alright... sounds so emo and maybe to some like a old man (or worst still women nagging about life). So on a side note, the show always plays this song which is very nice but yet super emo. But its really one of those songs that touches my heart and I can remember it even after hearing to it just for once. The song is 虽然我愿意 by 伍家辉. Click on play button in my sidebar to listen to the song... But don't look at the video... Close your eyes and listen. Its nice. I dunno why they never make a MV for such a nice song. The lyrics: 请让我靠近你轻轻对你说 别让我每个夜为你受折磨 是多么不容易才默默放手 为了我就当作这次为了我 别让我因为你被回忆折磨 而空气凝结了我们的脸孔 我别无选择 * 就算我们之间有什么问题 依然想念着你 虽然被放弃 虽然我愿意 就算我们之间有什么难题 黑夜我还想着你 心碎人孤寂 虽然我愿意 (心还想着你) 再让我靠近你轻轻对你说 当我说我要你从此好好过 是真的否则我怎么肯放手 为了我就当作这次为了我 赐给我你现在幸福的笑容 别让恨冻结了我们的脸孔 请你做选择 Repeat * 心碎人孤寂 虽然我愿意 Repeat *

Yesterday went Vivo for dinner with Guiying. We decided to eat someting cheap so we went Carl's Junior. Walked around, shopped around Vivo and Guiying spent a bomb. Haha... We wanted to go Harry's at HabourFront centre but its like nobody inside so boring. So we went Clarke Quay to drink. It was very crowded everywhere. We wanted the sofa seat in Clinic but oh mans so many people. So we went to fashion bar first. Fashion bar was so quiet. But not bad lahz... the ambience. We went to the Clinic after that but no sofa seats we just sit on the wheelchair seats. Haha... The wheelchair like fun to play with. Saw a few people there at Clarke Quay. Saw Adeline but she don't recognise me at all. Thats like sad lahz. Saw Eugene Mok. Haha.... He is a damn funny lahz, keep talking nonesense. After drinking we went to sit at some seats outside Central to talk. So that was the eve of Vesak day. Very enjoyable. =] Today I will rot at home. Haha... Wee~ Happy Vesak Day!

![]() I wan the LG KU990 Viewty! Haha... Yeah... Its very nice and its a 5MP camera phone. The screen is good cos its 3 inch 256k TFT colours. Its abit big but its very nice to hold in your hands. Its good lahz. Hahahahaha... But so sad. I couldn't upgrade my plan and if I wan to buy with a plan upgrade, I need to pay additional $100 which makes the price go up to a level which is close to buying just the phone without the plan. So its lame to do that lahz and I decided not to buy it.

This marks the end of the first week of internship. Woohoo~ I have completed 1/10 of it!! Alright for the whole week, I keep doing fixed asset tagging everyday and I don't learn much. Sadly, many people do not even believe that I am REALLY doing just pasting of stickers on everything for the WHOLE of SCS and they find it hard to believe that my internship is really just about pasting stickers. So just for the info of those who are not aware, fixed asset tagging exists in ALL companies. It has a few functions: (1) For auditing purposes (when external audit is conducted for fixed assets they take the fixed asset listing and walk around to match with the tag on the fixed asset. Anything less anything less have to be accounted for); (2) For the purpose of tracing which are the fixed asset which have been fully depreciated and should be disposed of and replaced. This is the job of the finance department. Of course for some companies they do not have tags on their fixed assets because they have different tracing systems for audit purposes or they will do it when the audit is near. So ya... People... don't ever doubt my job scope anymore because I get irritated when people don't believe me when I am really doing it wad! Alright. I am not angry but I just want to like vent my frustrations here. Nevertheless, the jobscope apart, people there are interesting and funny. The greatest take home from this internship is definitely joy cos the people there are just very funny. My supervisor is very cute. Hahaha... She called Linda. See our conversations below. Linda: Eh... I read your bio-data your sch sent me. Me: Ya? Linda: I am shocked! Me: Why? Linda: Your birthday is the same as my ex bf!!! MUhahahahahaha... I am all set out to torture you. Me: (laughs..) Linda: Who ask you to be born on the same day as him?! Why? Why you wan to be same birthday as him.... Muhahaha.... I am gonna torture you. Me: Haha... Okie... Go ahead... Linda: Haha... Now you know why you do fixed asset tagging... Me: Hahahaha... Linda: Do you think I am old? Me: No! I think you are very young. Linda: Don't bluff! Don't think you say I young I will not give you work huh! Me: No No... 我说的是真心话! Linda: Haha... So how young you think I am? Me: 25? 26? Linda: Hahahaha.... Really ah? But I am not. Me: Haha.... But really you look young. Linda: (smilesss) Linda: Eh Catherine, Zhanyi says I am young... Only 26 lehz! Eh Zhanyi later you knock off earlier. Me: Eh.... then now I suddenly think you 24 liaoz... Everyone: (laughs) Linda: Then you can have half day off! Eunice: Haha... Aiya you should say younger then you... Like 18.... Then you can knock off like NOW!!! Me: Aiya ... Ya lorz... Haha... Thats basically what went on for the first week of internship apart from fixed asset tagging. I went supper with Jiming at Simpang Bedok just now. ![]()

Today, I did fixed asset tagging the whole day. Yes... In case people think I am like being pessimistic about my internship, I really just walked around the whole department to paste stickers only. My supervisor thought that I was very bored doing that. So she had a pet talk with me. Haha... Oh wells. Cos she realised that my grades are like not for this kind of job and she said she feels very paiseh for making me do these. But there is no choice cos its the internship program to do fixed asset tagging. Then she said when she is done with her closing and is less busy she try to find time to teach me and let me do stuff that is more challenging and less of an insult to my intelligence provided that I finished doing fixed asset tagging for the whole company. Its a big company lahz. Hahaha... If you take bus and pass by you see how big the whole building is. I dun tink i got time to let her teach me new things. "-_- She is just saying it to make me feel better. Haha... Damn funny cos she said she understands how I feel cos she was insulted also for her internship last time doing fixed asset tagging like me. Yeah so... Haha... I was bored after work so I used the photos that Guiying took using her camera when we went out to make some comic strips using Comic Life. Haha... Its not very funny but... yeah... the product of boredom. I dunno why hwen posted here is like blurred. Its resolution was very good on my pc. Anyways... give me face okie... see and say ooooooooooo... so funny. entertain me lahz. Haha... ![]() ![]()

First day of internship. Need I say more? Stop saying I pessimistic about my internship. The start of the internship the supervisor tell me "You will NOT learn anything here. We just need someone to clear backlog and fixed assets tagging." Yeah? Sounds technical? Its just some mundane job for 10 weeks. I never predict my own jobscope for the 10 weeks. The supervisor told me straight in my face. Its reality, no pessimism at all, there is nothing to expect, the job is just too easy and simple for me. What? She thinks data entry for one year worth of backlog can last me for three days? I completed keying in everything by 3pm. There is no way for me to slow down. Its just key in like that what. Internship? More like a temp job that pays $700 a month. Shall not talk about it anymore. I am quite sianz about my own plight. Nobody is to blame because I don't have luck, I am not zai and I have no network. Why? Cos I never establish a network myself. So who to blame? MYSELF!! Hahaha... Okie... No I am not angry. Just feel sianz. I really envy those who gets to read like BAF related stuff? Get to see the BAF working environment etc. etc. Oh wells... Dots. Maybe like Jiming says... Its just a short term thing lorz. Singaporeans now got to work until 70 years old, so not worth it to worry about such stuff. Yeah... This is the only reason I can think of to console myself... Its a short term thing. Then again at the back of my mind... I am still... But I realised that maybe maybe... ... ... Dun wan to say liaoz. Time to sleep. Tml go work have to carry alot of things again. Like collie. Must have energy and probably I can eat more and get fat like a pig. Hahaha... Alright nitez.

Unconciously I clicked on her photos on facebook. Unconciously I looked at every single photo in her photo albums. I teared. Tears of joy or tears of sorrow. Even I myself am not sure... I am an emo piece of shit... ... So lame. After so long I still like that. "-_-
10:57 PM
Happy mother's day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha... Okie, I am quite sure no mothers read my blog. Went to marina mandarian peach blossoms for mothers day dinner with my family. The food is quite nice lahz. Shou tao with custard. I was like weird combi. But when I eat. OMG!!! Its like heavenly! Its very nice!!!! Sharks fins with bamboo shoots, sea cumcumber and crab meat. You literally see these ingredients complete with huge pieces of sharks fins floating on the surface of the soup! Its REAL! Its very very nice. The rest of the dishes were like normal. Oh ya... The dessert is like heavenly also! Its chilled avocado with coffee ice cream and sago, served with dry ice. Its very very nice. Too bad I was so engrossed in eating that I forgot to take photo. The serving is quite small but the service is very good. The only thing I tink is abit out of place in peach blossoms is why they play like instrumental pop songs huh? Haha... It don't fit the high class decor and service level of peach blossoms. Haha.. Weird. Okie... But the food is nice. I love it. =]

Went out with Guiying in the afternoon. Haha... Cos I wanted to buy my office shirt and she was bored and wanted to come out. I bought a Zara shirt only. I saw some shirts at 30 plus dollars in X square but i see the shirts all the colours not nice lehz. So I didn't buy. Then we walked around and went to MOF for dessert. Yeah. We were acting like mad people. Haha... Keep on laughing. Then met Abner to go drink. Haha... "-_- We went Brewerks for a mug of beer and a pizza only. Then we went Central and then TCC. He was depressed. So... Ya... Boring night. One more day to internship... ... ...
11:59 PM
Its Saturday already. Internship is gonna start. OMG! Haiz... I am not looking forward to it at all cos its not what I will enjoy doing. I am very certain of it. So ya... Monday you will see me dragging my foot to work. I hope the supervisors are good, both from SCS and NTU. I hope that it will be a smooth journey. Haha... I don't wan any cock ups. I realised alot of people are quite depressed ever since after exams. I feel so sad and sorry for them and I don't know what exactly to say to them to make them feel better lorz. Tonight I am going drinking with Abner, I tink I am in for more depressings stories and I will just stone there cos I don't know what to say. I realised that every time after exams some of my friends will be plauged with relationship problems. Hmmz... I don't know... I just feel that when it comes to relationships just let it happen itself. If the person care and you care you all will some how be happy. But if you find that you are putting in alot of effort but then the feeling of not appreciated is always present, I would think something is amiss. Either there is a lack of communication or the other party can't be bothered. However, by saying that we should let relationship happen itself doesn't mean we shouldn't make any efforts. Its an irony. Efforts should still be made wholeheartedly and if you do this for him/her you do this for him/her. Why do we need to feel appreciated? Hmmz... Maybe I am just too idealistic and gullible but sometimes, I just feel this way. I do it for you so its for you lorz. Even if that person don't appreciate it, its his problem not my problem cos I give and you take. No obligations mahz. So ya. If you feel tired about keep giving then stop giving and move on. In addition, I always feel that if something don't work out, try to make it work. If it just doesn't work, then move on. Right? Its just like when you buy a cleanser for your face, its just lousy and you get more breakouts. The next step is just to find another cleanser that suits your face right? We don't actually like miss the old cleanser that gives your face problems do you? Perhaps we will be brooding over the cost of the old cleanser but its a sunk cost already! Present decisions should not be affected by past actions lorz. In real life, many of us commit the sunk cost bais. We cling on to things that don't work for us. So yeah. I have learnt over the years that we shouldn't make ourselves miserable because of sunk costs. I know when it comes to human relations it is more complex but just because its complex we should make it simple. As simple as the choice of a facial cleanser? This way we lesser our pain, heartache, sadness, sian-ness and etc. Alright... Maybe its crap to you. But I just feel that it makes sense to me. Haha... My friends... Stay happy. Smilez. =] =] =] =] =] =] =] =] Bring my 8 smiles with you all okie? Huat ah! Haha... Okie no link... Time to stop here.

Today is a sunny day! Yeah!! I went swimming. Haha... Then I came home and rot. Oh I watched like abit of the HSBC buisness review. They talked about branding today. Its quite interesting. They talked about mind share, heart share and 3D marketing. haha... Cooll... Marketing is alwaes so so interesting. But well... haha... Its not easy to study marketing though. Alright thats all for today... A pretty boring day. I am very tempted to want to buy the shoes and the shirt i saw yesterday. Hmmmzz...

Yesterday night went out for dinner and dessert with Abner and Wu Huishan (Must put full name because know too many huishan... later people confused dunno I go out with which huishan). We had japanese pasta at the city link rest... dunno whats the name... and had dessert at MOF. haha... Both of them were like sianz... and tired. "-_- Okie... so we went home after eating. Haha... Today I went shopping with Guiying. Haha... Wah... I tink I look good in short seelved shirt cos Guiying ask me to try. Hmmmz... I tink its nice. But its 70 plus. So I thought I gotta ration my money for irritating formal wear. Haha... Oh oh... and we saw a nice sneakers in giodarno concepts. Its like cheap price for a pair of shoes at $65. And its like quite good material. But once again... I thought I needed the money for formal wear. So I didn't buy. Guiying told me the pooh bear joke. Its damn funny. Omg!! Haha... Cos we were like entering pull and bear. Guiying: Pull and bear take out the and is wad? Me: Pooh bear lorz? Guiying: So whats the name of pooh bear's wife? Me: Huh? Winnie? Guiying: No.... Its "pooh bo". Haha... Omg. Its damn funny. Oh for those who dun get it... its a hokkien phrase. Haha... So if you understand its quite funny. Cos I didn't expect the answer to be this. Jokes man. So ya... we went to a few places.. and Guiying bought alot of things. Haha... We went to Stage in far east the very famous brand by Xiao Zhu in taiwan. I tink the designs are mediocre only. Guess they appeal to hype beasts who are into street fashion. Don't really appeal to me who like slim cut and sleek clothings. Haha... Oh... Today I discovered that perfume makes me giddy. Cos we went lucky plaza to buy perfume. So like the person like showed us the different fragances. Omg... Smell until giddy can. hahaa... Got one smell like urine man. OMG!! I can't remember the name... But its in a bottle with a rose shaped cap. But the Blvgari Rose fragance is very nice. I think gers put on will smell great. Haha... Alright thats all.

I did some quiz from here: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx Itsc alled the Get to know yourself better quiz. Haha... I think its super accurate for me. Try it!! Here's my results... Your view on yourself: You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior. Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. Your views on education: You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job. The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying. What are you most afraid of: You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I just came backs from giving tuition. Haiz... I almost died vomitting blood teaching him maths. "-_- I wanted to go swimming after giving tuition but there was no sun. Nevertheless, I went to swim lahz... but for a while only... Haha... Someone tailed me from the swimming pool to the bus interchange. Errrr... Okie... Don't know what he wants. Weird. I dun like my hair now. Its so short that the back stands up the whole day. "-_- Haha... Hope it grows longer in no time. Haha... Yawnz... Its a boring day. Tml its gonna be the same as today. I will be giving tuition again. Cos he is having exams. I have zero confidence in him. I tink he will still fail all subjects BUT it doesn't mean I never teach well. Oh wells... maybe I didn't teach well. Haha...

Today I went out the whole day again. Haha... In the afternoon, I met Yiling and Joanne for ktv in bugis. Haha... The ktv is called Top One and its positioning itself as a budget ktv. Its slogan is pretty funny. It goes like this: "Most affordable, Most fashionable" Haha... It just sounds funny to me. How is fashionable related to ktv? Then Joanne said there maybe its like you can choose the different lightings in the room. There is disco (lights goes flashing non stop), special effects (a special overhead projector that shoots nice images on the wall... Like flowers and stuff?) and there is like normal dim lightings. Haha... Yeah maybe the fashionable part is the fanciful lightings. Haha... Oh ya... Its located at the building which used to be the ICON shopping mall. The charges are pretty cheap lorz. Its like $16 to sing from 11am to 6pm. And the drinks are freeflow and its enormous... See... Okie... it seems small from the picture but its like huge in real life. Haha... But its like syrup thats why its huge and freeflow. And and... the drinks takes an elevator up. There is like a food and beverage elevator... The drinks will get delivered from another level of the building to the level where the ktv rooms are. Its so cool lahz. So ya anyways... The acoustics of the ktv room is not to my liking... I still like kbox's acoustics. But overall... Its like a very cheap place to go and sing, relax and enjoy. But if you are practicing and honing your singing skills, its not really a good place cos its acoustics is... ya... Not say i pro singer lahz... but its just not to my liking and there isn't any buttons to adjust the echo of the mic which I seriously don't like. Haha... Okie... enough said abotu ktvs... Recently my entries are all ktv related. Haha... Evening time went to meet the uni year one people for class gathering. Haha... There were few very funny jokes. Krystle is damn funny lahz. hahaha... But I realised, I am quite antisocial the whole night... I couldn't join in any conversations. Haha... And I didn't cry lahz when Krystle was trying to intro a ger to me. haha... something went inside my eyes and i started to tear. Haha... Oh wells... I guess when I keep quiet and show an my normal face without expressions, I can look rather troubled. Hahaha... But I am not lahz. hahaha... I just dun have anything to say so I keep quiet. I realised this is an inherent problem for me. I always keep quiet for any kinds of gatherings be it army, sec sch/jc/uni class. Somehow... I will just keep quiet and I feel that I can never filter into any conversations. I guess... I gotta be more sociable. Although people who knows me well will find me like chatty and crazy most of the time, but the fact is I am quite introverted and anti-social. haha... And I can count with my 5 fingers who are these people who knows me well. So ya... I guess it got to do with how we all grow up and of course I am not saying we can't change, but it gets kind of difficult and challenging to rip something that you grow up with from yourself. I still remembered that I used to be suppressed when I was young. My mum forbid me to play with other children when I was a kid because she was afraid I will fall down and die. hahaha... She also told me not to talk too much to other people. So ya... All these made me cultivate a habit of only talking when my voice is needed. But of course with close frens, my voice will be heard even when its not needed. Hahaha... I was also not allowed to do alot of socializing activities when I was young. So i grew up like with minimal socializing. Thats why... Haha... But a good thing with such a growing up phase is that it made me independent. I can do everything myself and not feel weird, funny or alien whereas some people cannot... Everything they do and go they need a companion. Haha... I am like everywhere I go... I like it alone but a companion will be good. So ya. I guess there are alwaes pros and cons for everything. But of course, next time for my kids... I wun restrict them with socialising... They wan to play go play... fall down fall down... when they fall they learn to stand up again. Haha... Ya lorz. Alright... Thats all lahz... I want to play game again. Haha...

Ladies and gentlemen... Krispy Kremes is here in Singapore TODAY!!!! SEEEEE!!! I just had a few Krispy Kremes donuts in town today!!! Cooolll.... Haha... But well... No Krispy Kreme shop in Singapore lahz. Jiahui bought it from Hong Kong or was it Taiwan... Ya... But anyways... Yeah... Its damn nice even though its already like left overnight! Thanks Jiahui! Haha... Oh anyways, I went to Marina Square Chapter 2 to cut hair today. The weather is just too hot and my long hair is very messy. So I decided to snip it short. Its a little shorter then my usual look and I look funny lahz. Like a kid. Haha. But wells... The haircut is free mahz. I used my loyalty points to redeem the haircut. Yeah... So be prepared to see a kiddy Zhanyi. Haha... Cute okie!! Er okie... I am like BHB-ing again. Better stop. I just checked my internship allowance. Haha.. Its $700. Not bad lahz.... But long working hours. Whoever in this world works from 830am to 6pm one? Luckily its like near my house so i end work at 6pm I reach home the same time as those we end 5pm or 530pm and work in town. Haha... But well... I wasn't really expecting much because its as its name suggests an allowance. So it will definitely be lesser than $1,000. Only those who are lucky enough to get like prestigious banks through Phase 1, self-sourced or got internship through sheer connections and network will get an allowance of more than $1,000. So ya.... Contented. Great expectations leads to great disappointment. I will stop expecting alot from everything and possibly when I do this, somehow things will just go my way and something unexpected will sweep my feets off the floor. So yeah. Life... Stay happy lahz... Be contented with what we have, who knows they may just be diamonds in disguise. Haha... Everyone is like taking CFA suddenly which I also dunno why. I am tempted to take also but somehow I just don't have enough money to like take it. Haiz... How I wish I am like everyone else who has the support of their parents. When they stretch their hands and say MUMMY DADDY I want to take CFA something that will secure my future and poof!!! The money falls into their hands. Like magic. Oh wells... Everyone has different problems. I will probably take CFA like 2 years later when I am working and have a stable income. And yes... driving also... when I am working as well. Money money come... Hahaha... And ya I am always broke not because I anyhow spend and don't save I have a savings account which I don't touch and will not touch for short term goals. Short term goals as it is is spending for current consumption so... It should come from the spending account. So ya. Spending account is low because I pay for everything myself. But somehow there are people lik eme too but they just have so much money. Where do their money come from? Nobody knows~ Haha... Alright. Time to play Cabal! Woo~

I tink I am ugly... Haha... See my photo below... eeekkkss... Okie... Today my mum said something funny. The conversation is as follows (its not the exact words cos it was in chinese) Mum: Last sunday, your dad drove pass your internship place lehz... Me: Oh izzit? Mum: Ya. How come your internship in FACTORY!!!! Me: huh? its a factory mehz? No lahz.. its not... Mum: But the whole area is like FACTORY!!! Why like that? You fail exam izzit? Thats why they send you to factory to do internship. Me: No lahz... My grades are very good. Blame myself for not being as lucky as others and not as enthu as others to self source. Mum: Aiyo... Then next time you also work in factory when you graduate? Me: No lahz... Its not a factory. There for office one. Mum: (in disbelief) Orh... Okie... You don't come home for lunch horz although its near our house... cos I can finally rest and not cook. Haha... Its damn funny... Although my mum is illerate, she knows everything lahz. Haha... Oh wells... What can i say? Maybe next time I will really work in factory after I graduate. Who knows? Even now so many graduates are jobless. Life's hard lahz... haha... Borrow Abner's phrase. Haha... That day, Abner said something which I think really makes sense. Its not a level playing field for all of us. Some people started to be cultivated for the future since young. Some people have parents who have vast networks. Some people like me was neither cultivated nor do my parents have vast networks. Hence, its not a level playing field. People belonging to the last category got to work doubly hard and still not attain the level that the people of the first two categories are at. Nevertheless, we should always believe in the age old saying - "its never too late to learn". Yes... I believe with enough determination we can learn and work towards greater heights like many others who started earlier than we did. Or perhaps, we should just be contended with the bear minimum and not aim so high since we did not start off from the higher ground like the others. This is what the chinese call 知足常乐. Haha... Alright enough about this negativity. I bet nobody likes to read this. Alright. We gotta work hard. We gotta play hard. WE gotta live life to the fullest. Cheers. =]

Labour day was spent staying at home to play Cabal for the whole day and went for a swim in the evening. Haha... I am like addicted to Cabal... I dunno why... I just keep wanting to play. I am like a kid. Haha... Today, or rather yesterday, was an enjoyable day. Went for dinner with Guiying at Kenny Rogers and then KTV in Marina Square. Haha... We were like damn high... Sang from like 730 to around 2 plus. Haha... Though I was like killing chickens and breaking the glasses with my ugly voice. But nevertheless was quite fun lahz...
