it's been quite some time since i last blogged. well, lots of things happened. not going to elaborate of cos but i shall talk abt work since it's taking up 80% of my time.
hmm well. im slowly adapting to the working life. not yet but it takes time. i still cannot accept the fact that i have to wake up at a bloody early time of 6.40am every morning. i've not been waking up so early after sec4. :( very tiring. but i've shifted my slping time ahead. which is a good thing. i get tired at 12am. asleep by 1am usually. my biological clock is still not used to waking up at 0640. but anyway, if i dun eat cereals for breakfast at home, i can wake up at 7am. get out of the house latest by 7.30am. den take the jam-less 243 to mrt station, den catch the train and usually standing and squeezing all the way to raffles place. i think im quite lucky to live in boon lay area. ha. i'd reach raffles place at abt 0820 to 0825, grab a toast and nice milk tea at $1.70, and go up to office, read Today and den start work. boooo. job's quite boring. checking app forms, approving letters to be sent out to customers, sign them and send them to mailroom. den check app forms again, den go for lunch, den come back and somehow continue working till 6pm. feel sleepy everytime. ha.
OTs are hectic. although the job's not very taxing, i got comfortable office, dun have to use much of my brain to work, but dunno why so tired. haha. thinking of wad to wear everyday sucks too. aiyah i'll not bother my readers with my boring life.
but eh, since i only slp, eat and work everyday, i got nth much to blog liao. haha. bye. i'll continue to watch Healing hands 3.

Work
TGIF!!!!!!
the first week finally passed. eh, i think real work is not up yet so im kinda slacking my first week away. imagine slacking 3hrs out of 8.5hrs. ha. everyday i'd slack till 930am (1hr) den i got smth to do, finish liao, fake fake use computer as if very busy.. but was acutally checking out the leaves, the OT claims and stuff, and idling away, den at 11am everyday i'd get so sleepy i nearly dozed off, den slack awhile, 12pm!! time for lunch. after lunch, slack half and hr till the girl comes back to give me stuff to do, den somehow the time will get to 6pm. hahahaha. other than thinking of wad to wear to work which is such a headache, work has been fine. the girl 'tested' me to see if im up to it. so i think next week gotta do OT liao. but i need to earn some keep. pay is way too low.
anyway, my jobscope for the moment is the double check and tally the system's customer profile with their application form. there, that freaking Fairprice Plus debit card. i heard they still haven reach out to like 100k customers. :( den do abit paperwork, slack abit. that's abt it. and the thing i like abt the bank is we get freedom. although its a 8.30am-6pm job, its ok to come in at 8.35 or 8.40 lah, if u not paiseh. but i'd usually reach at 8.20am, read Today and My Paper, den make some milo and start slacking. ha. aircon is soooooo cold there i think i better bring my blazer there. hahah.
as for the Claims, i get very pathetic OT pay lah. $8 an hr, capped at maximum $32. hmph. anyway OT at most also 4 hrs. but i can claim $8 meal allowance if i work till 8pm and later. if i work till after 9.30pm, i can claim taxi fare too. but i'd have to go to OCBC's intranet to download the claims form and hand it up on the 3rd day of each month. apply leave on the intranet too. i've applied my graduation leave liao. ahha. kiasu. still 1 mth away. anyway i've got 13 more days. oh and the free GP for my medical leave includes the doctor i go to the last few times im sick! that nanyang clinic at st 91. ha. freeeeee. and medical leave another 14days.
oh. and for the past few days, esp on the first day. tgt with me, there's 3 more other contract staff. and the rest abt 10 are temps. and i was wondering why there's this erm, big-sized lady tgt with us, was wearing quite nicely and formally. and she looked like she's got experience. and i thought she's also bank officer like us, until yest then i realised, she's on a 1 yr contract Assistant Manager. like, WHOA. hahha. my future boss. ahhaah. and ok lah. she also live in jurong west. lol. and i took train back with her just now. we were gossiping on how wierd the other girl was. ew.. dun get me started on that wierd girl. lol.
ok! going to slp now! lastly, TGIF!!! dress down day!

i was editting my wishlist here. then i realise i've gotten some of my wishes already. that damn diploma, and a good job. getting that cert on graduation ceremony but seems like not many ppl is going and i haven decide on whether or not to go, and a job that i once wished i can do. let's hope my luck will change for the better from here onwards.
i also realised how to weigh my needs and wants. when accumulated, i've earned like more than 5k for the past 4 years since after Os, but saved less than 5% of it. how pathetic. i used to waste my money on useless stuff when i could have saved the money up for rainy days. like how i spent my money on that crumpler when i could have gotten something nicer and more value for money. like how i used to get that ipod nano which cost slightly lesser than 400. like how i spend abt 400,too, getting that DS lite. (ok lah this one is quite worth it ok)
like how i hoped to buy a gucci handphone strap when it's completely useless and i got myself a black leather one from japan for abt 10% of the price of a gucci. sighhhhhh. how frivolous i used to be.
aiyeh, not point regretting now. i gotta work hard and get promoted and be a rich banker! lol.
P/S: someone cloned my friendster account just yesterday. she's wierd lah. i dun even know her and she used the same name but in big small letters (LiKe ThIs) and used an anime pri pic. i hate anime lah. she even added 5 of my friends in my account. but wierd thing is, only my friends can access my profile. so? how she got to know me? OR IS SHE TRYING TO KNOW SOMEONE FROM MY FRIENDSTER?? hmmmm. wierd.

had my 4th tuition lesson just now. and after the lesson then the tutee found the exam timetable. and it's next tuesday -______- like??? he doesnt even know when are his exams. mid years somemore. i asked him abt his target and his was to get 50 for maths. -_- i'd hope he get anything more than that so my reputation will be better. heheheh. boys will be boys. he dun even bother to write statements which marks are given. and are weak at fractions but i can see light in him cos he's so good at trial&error. something i dun even understand but he love it. lol. good at MCQs too. but calculations are so shaky. bleah. i hope he passes his Section C. i think my teaching instinct is increasing. i was so proud when he passed the test paper i gave him for homework. whoa. although it's a 51 but i was so proud cos he'd never pass math b4. and i helped his p5 sister with a problem sum which took me like 2mins to realise wad the qns was talking abt. i dun think she completely understand wad i taught her, but nvm lah. aiyahhhh. girls are so soft spoken. lol.
had supper with shir after that. Breko. freaking full. and sinful and guilty. haha. i think i shall do some sit-ups later. oh and they serve Magnolia chocolate milk and they claimed it's Iced Chocolate. and they even served Iced espresso to shir instead of Iced tea! ew. i think im spoilt by Dome's service. hahaha.
going on bed now. byebye.

im getting more and more frustrated when i hear my mum nag. when i say nag i really mean nag. those non-stop kind. she just nagged at me for like nearly 30mins. non-stop nagging. i suddenly feel like im Tay ping hui in the show kena naggings by his wife. ): she can nag from the job i've got, to how much im giving her a month, to how i spend my money, to where i cut my hair and the most lethal one, why i always go out and waste transport money. i really wish i can like shut her up and i guess most of us cannot stand mothers' nagging. it is really getting on my nerves already.
ahh, speaking of job, i've finally got a job. at OCBC. at Card Operations as a credit card processor (eh, sound like some computer chip), processing the incoming credit card applications. im starting my very first contract-based job on monday. although the pay package is like so-so only, i love the benefits. 14days annual leave from now till 31dec when my contract ends, 14 days MC, 60 days hosp leave and all that. oh and even company clinic for doctors. not bad at all. and a bonus of something lesser than my pay at the end of the contract. hmmm. but the downside is i have to squeeze train with the morning and evening crowds. heh but i can go to work and go home with kg and yan who's working at bugis. (:(:(:
and i've finally come to terms with my mum that i'll give her 250bucks and 50bucks to my dad per month, which leaves me like less than 1000bucks. so miserable. i got to buy more office wear, a comfy shoes and a haircut tmr. and cos of the haircut my mum nagged like 10mins. "why cant u cut at gekpoh(the neighbourhood shopping centre) so u can save on transport cost and yaddah yaddah yaddah" arghhh. and ever since my mum know how to sms she kept haunting me with smses. bleahhh.
went for lunch with sher at Congress for the much missed Wanton mee we always ate during IMF. shopped around at fossil b4 going to raffles city. so bored lah. den we made our way to raffles place cos i gotta sign contract at 5.30pm, and after sher told me den i realise there's Dome at the opposite UOB plaza. a great coffee fix next time if i ever need some. cheaper than starbucks and nicer too. we slacked there and i had my iced choc with gelato and chicken rings we shared. made my way to Bugis after i signed the contract and had Mos burger for dinner with kg and yan. came home to watch the funny 9pm show after that. (:
