bad bad bad...and u might ask..'whats bad?'
my answer is simple..i dont know..
ever felt something like this before? everything seems to be all screwed up, but after some thought u realised there is nothing wrong...but u still have this really screwed up feeling inside u..humm
sounds complicated yea? guess some of u guys out there gone thorugh this before..if not count urself lucky coz u wont like this state of mind..

anyways i got myself 2 part time jobs recently, giving tuition to a sec 1 kid and telemarketing for an insurance company.The tuition was pretty fun..just talking and reading for 1.5 hrs for 8 times a month and i get paid SGD220, i should say this is a pretty damn highly paid part time job..considering the market rate for part time job is around SGD6 an hour..
the problem is with the second job...telemarketing....
SGD7 per hour have to at least secure 1 appointment for an agent and for the first appointment onwards for every other appointment made SGD10 will be given. Working hour is 7-10pm every mon,wed,fri. job scope just call try to secure appointments.
sounds pretty simple yea? well the fact is...its really very simple..lol
during that 3 hour period i made 120 calls..after subtracting those who didnt pick up and numbers that r no longer in use..i had around 80+ conversation which goes like this:

me: may i speak to XXX plz?
XXX: yea thats me
me: hello im simon from AIA, the purpose of this call is to create awareness of a new
AIA insurance package...
XXX:im not interested...(dial tone....)

OR it could be

me: may i speak to XXX plz?
XXX: yea thats me
me: hello im simon from AIA, (dial tone...)

think u guys can tell i didnt secure any appointments...and doing this for 3 hours straight for me is hell..way too boring and tiring,yes tiring..call random people for 3 hours can be tiring, give it a shot if u have doubts about it..LOL
and u guys got it right..im quitting it after session 1..hai..

no idea how im gonna live up to the 9-5 work next time..hai..

till next time fellas,

MH

wow its been a while since i last posted..forgive me for those who are waiting for my post ( think only CH will wait for this anyways ). Getting a bit lazy nowadays.. wont be typing this if CH didnt complain about me not posting up new entry..lol
anyways..having a pretty bad hang over now...and through yesterday night drinking i realised something very important..its really tough to forget someone...something...
its like...u thought u forgot about it..nut after sometime..it will just pop up in your head, u tried to shove it away but it wont go..it will just stay there...
pretty scary yea??
and from what i heard..the best way to forget something is to remind yourself to not think of it, hummm does it mean that u gotta remind yourself about that something and tell yourself you have to forget about it? lol what an paradoxic claim
well..guess i still gotta think of a efficient way to forget about what i would love to forget..if u people out there have any good suggestions plz leave me a msg on the tag or leave a comment..ty fellas

........The PICTURE HOUSE....

2006-06-05T22:21:00.000+08:00

June 02.

I have been waiting for a chance to enjoy the theatre experience in The Cathay.. aka the old cathay cinema near PS.

The establishment itself looks promising. It's interior is nothing less of peers that hog the whole of orchard road. The only let down was the fact that most shops are still under renovation.

wEll, the objective of that day was the cinema with leng~
Even before The Cathay was officially opened, it brags of an all new theatre known as the Picture House. In which, only selected films will be played. The audience get to sit on "Oscar Chair' which is really spacious and comfortable.

Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles*
The tix for PH show come in a really cool holder.. kinda makes you more 'class'.. What's cool-er was to enter the PH from a different queue and basically anyone that bought food(pop-corn, nachos, watever) don't belong to your group laa.

*the holder

But for the 'ohmpff', my stomach went empty and grumbled during the show. :(
I found out later that the counter actually sells a delectable list of food.. and you can utilise the PH Lounge for that purpose. PH LoungE!!! Another cool place for PH exclusive??

Dudes, if you have yet to check out The Cathay, make sure you make a trip there soon.
Riding was nice and meaningful..(*obviously, ZYM directed it)
Of course, if you are gonna give it a miss..then maybe U-Carmen or sth that's upcoming.

CH, Truth is.. I prefer slouching in GV chair more than PH's.

Jay Chou for a week~

2006-06-01T00:22:00.000+08:00

Alright... it's not like i have a jay-craze for a week. In fact, my fav. celebrity/actor is still tony leung!

However, my replacement manager suddenly pop me a question last week.

Asked: Anyone ever said that you look like Jay Chou?

At first, it didn't occur to me and my immediately reaction was
:what's the point of looking like jay.. he's not that suave in my opinion~

it didn't stop there. The Jay-streak went on for a week.
-the next day with 3 ladies in the restaurant
-the next day with a couple on the bus
-the next day with 2 laides commenting that i look like a singer...
(maybe not jay..who else? Fei YuQing?)
-and so on.... yada yada

at least once per day.. until 31 May.. when the streak finally ended.

It's probably similarity from certain angle with my current hairstyle. Well, months ago, I had some similar comments too. That was when my hair/fringe was longer. Probably it's becoming more and more like back then...since i had it trimmed a while ago.

*NO PHOTOS la~ but I think my hair's pretty messed-up now.. if anyone has really good stylist that can fix weird hairdo that's intended for more length/medium wolf in coming future. PLS PLS introduce him/her to me!!

CH the forgetful.

Shangri La 2: The Last Stand

2006-05-26T13:01:00.000+08:00

I was in for that 2Hrs. The only difference.. is that this is not my first training class. Things were more pleasant the last time we had a lesson. (For now, let's call it SL2)

safdfafdfafdgasgdagdagdasgdagdgsagdgsagdgagdggasdgasgdagdagsgdagsdgsagdgsagdgsadgsadgsa

here's some FYI before i give my points~
1. The lady MH rattle on and on about is doing her studies in a local poly.
2. most of the people in SL2 are poly students.
3. population pie est. shows 86% Mainlander, 6% Singaporean, 8% other ASEAN
(i tabulated this from the IC no. on the attendance list)
4. No matter how good/sexy mainlander's madarin sound, we don't comprehend every word they say due to the way they project the words rolling tongues.
5. Pls read and accept with an 'open-mind'.
6. The lecturer is a Singaporean and he's NOT a sergeant in his army days

safdfafdfafdgasgdagdagdasgdagdgsagdgsagdgagdggasdgasgdagdagsgdagsdgsagdgsagdgsadgsadgsa

Human fear the unknown. It didn't feel too good ever since MH and I entered the cafeteria..
alright, the mainlanders are the majority and they have really big groups considering their background as being in the same campus. For a moment MH and I were the mutants and them, the 'humans'. I know that you guys can't wait to throw this back at me...

'what %&*#*@ powers you have?'

"Bi-lingual, or at least with Singlish", I'd say.

I'm not into insulting anyone here.. but it's what i presumed after going Q & A with fellow SL2 classmates. LIke i said... we don't get every word the 'humans' say. I bet the lecturer/sensei didn't either.

i.e.One of the dude replied hs question about the legs and placing of a dining table.
It prolly look like this if i have to draw an animated text-cloud

(#$#&$# 3 inch#$&*, the leg$^#7&@#*9 line up with *&#!#!&@@ba.)

The lecturer gave it away when he did the 'wtf-face'.. he's obviously lost. However he went "OKay, he's somewhere there."

As for the lady that shouted over our heads? I'm done with that part.
She did that the last time and probably everytime she goes into the training room. She finds that it work for to raise her voice and show an attitude. Hey.... but shouting at your fellow school mates?
Even more so..if she's talking down to the class in the name of 'work'.

The only matter that constantly buzz in my mind throughout the night... wasn't how blunt & truthful about how the lecturer relate his experience; BUT the fact that he was cock-sure everyone is there for quick cash only.
I seriously don't think that is a good way to sum up his thoughts after he rampaged everyone mind with his preaching frenzy.
(for some reasons, MH bets that this guy is a sergeant, but fact no.6 says otherwise)

fifteen past ten. the bell rang and class was officially over. Except MH and I went off before the class bow and greet.
;p

CH serves with fervour.

At the end of the day, you choose what to walk away with.

I chose to walk away with positive stuff
1.raising your voice doesn't solve everything
2.basic dining ettiq.

2 hours in shangri la

2006-05-26T09:55:00.000+08:00

dont get the wrong idea its not about me bring a cute chic to shangri la and get it on for 2 hours... believe me if thats the case it would be much longer than 2 hours...hehe
anyways the reason for me being there is to attend the banquet training coz i was thinking of working with the crew as a part time job..but after the 2 hours of bullshit and lame jokes, me and my man CH decided it was a big mistake....( CH and i went for the training together)

so what went wrong??
at 8pm we went to the 'classroom' for lesson and the crowd was..pretty rowdy,then soon after that, a lady in her 20s (one of the lesson coordinator) steps up infront of the crowd and started to scream and shout..the reason? to pacify the crowd...
i was like..OMG man..firstly i hate being shouted at and i dont think she is in any position to shout at me, secondly she is doing that to a bunch of grown ups..prolly she is better off teaching in primary school screaming at kids all day...what a biatch man..and i could still remember the shit she shouted..( read them using Singapore english plz...btw there is no typo)

BIATCH (in a bitchy voice of course)
: OIE! YO ALL AH..BETTER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SUT..YOU ALL THINK WHAT YOU ALL IN THE MARKET IS IT? YOU THINK YOU BUYING FISH AH? TLOSE WITH NO SIT ALSO SUT UP AND LOOK FOR A SEAT NOW!!!!!
(crowd moving...still talking tho..dont think anyone gave a shit abt her...lol)
OIE OIE OIE!! YO ALL MOVE WITH UR LEGS NOT YOUR MOUTH!! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SUT AND MOVE QUICKRLY!!

translation for u guys who know nuts about singapore english
BIATCH:
HEY PEOPLE KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND LOOK FOR A SEAT NOW! DONT TALK WHILE YOU MOVE!!
this is the point she was trying to make..

Ok..right after that lady shouted at us another man came in..he is the teacher, sensei, si fu, for the lesson. sad to say..he sucks as well..not bcoz he shout and scream like tt little lady, but he talks too much shit ,seriouslly...WAY TO MUCH SHIT FOR ME TO HANDLE. After some intro which lasted for around 10 mins..he started to go lesson proper, but after a while something poped into his mind and he decided to go on and have a 'casual talk' with the crowd for 'a while'. Guess what..the casual talk turned into a preaching frenzy, about how he climbed up the ladder and becoming a captain after 9.....9!! years..then he sorta gave us an inspirational talk saying that we should use him as an example( omg..9 yrs for a captain..hell no man..) and if we put in hard work and effort we can be like him as well.. ( LOLOLOLOLOL ) so when all these ended its already around 9.15pm ( he talk shit for around an hour )then he finally get to lesson proper.

the lesson was pretty ok..but one thing he said...tell me what u guys think...
MAN: customers are stupid, they eat and drink what you serve.
yep..thats what he said the exact same words i aint kidding..so much for the customer is always right shit..lol

anyways after the lesson CH and i learned something really important...we r borned to be served..not to serve..lol
and the one bright side about this lesson is that..there r 3...no..4 cute chics..
ty for reading up till this point..thats all for the 2 hours in shangri la..

till next time

i feel so bad....im serious

2006-05-22T13:30:00.000+08:00

so this is how the story goes...
i was called back to camp for some kinda leaving army function...
since i havent been back in camp for quite some time..i was ok with it.
So there i was back in camp and queuing up for my lunch.. then guess wat? some master sergeant spotted that my hair was long and asked me to move on to one side for some kinda 'dicussion'... no worries it was all cool coz its true that my hair was not up to standard, but after telling him that i was just back in camp for a function and will leave right after that..he still insisted that i should go for a hair cut and he kinda made a big fuss outta it and made almost everyone looking at our 'conversation'.
then of course for those who know the army some nothing better to do warrant officers will just drop by and give some 'pleasant' comments, of course directing at me...and as u guys know..since im just a men (without any rank) i couldnt say much so i just stood there and took those 'pleasant' comments.
when the sergeant and officer felt that they needed a break after giving me a 'nice talk' i kindly told them i will go for a hair cut and return to camp for the function after that.
HOWEVER on my way to look for decent salon....i felt something strange going on in my stomach, some kinda pain i guess.. and when the pain got worse..i realised that i required medical attention for the situation hence i went to see a doctor...and the doctor felt that i shouldnt go anywhere else other than resting at home so he gave me medical leave....

I feel so bad now..not being able to attend the function and especially bad when i thought of the sergeant and the officer..IM SOOOOOOOOOO SORRY...

I LOVE THE ARMY!!!

hope that i will get well soon...

Nostalgia Night

2006-05-21T23:08:00.000+08:00

*Humid

Spent the day ripping music and updating stuff~
That's no different from MH wasting his day, hibernating after all heavy dose of booze.

Met leng for dinner at MOS. I wanted to get her frozed-ichigo.. but didn't. Make sure we try that the next time~
ended up discussing about what to get for Gracia's birthday..

Pocket Bible
Les Miserable Musical DVD
Novel/Book

Decided on the second one. BUT Sembawang Musics ran out of stock.. so I rang yihua to see if his workplace has it. Apparently he does his work and arranges the stuff. Hua zAi even offered us to buy with through his account to get some kinda staff discount. Thanks alot!!

Afterwhich, we went for the Pasar Malam! they have this corner with Merry-go-round.. car rides and "Sure win games"(where you throw hoops through bottles). A scene that is very reminiscent of our childhood days!

*Cute horse-ride*

Alright. The night should end really swEeT with cAndy fLoss we bought. Heck.. on my way back, I saw this pair of brother&sister at my blk. Things are bad enough since they don't look appealing(they are close to Mark Lee's previous facial condition that seems like it took hundreds of bullets la!)... On top of that, I saw the girl DIG her nose and 'gHOr' onto her bro's shirt. I had to take the elevator with the dude whining to his mom. It was utterly disgusting.

Luckily my folks bought durian~ Helps to ease away the thoughts and ended the night in a pleasant tone.

CH nostalgic

Beauty's in the eye of beholder. Perhaps someone likes a girl who digS her nose??

Discover HongKong!

2006-05-20T22:18:00.000+08:00

*Clear sky*Brilliant weather

I was suppose to meet Teresa at 3.30pm.. but 2.45pm at the MRT, i realised that the "Kui Hua Bao Dian" wasn't in my bag!!
It's actually the Discover Hongkong booklet(English) I'm talking about~

Sometimes these things 'hide' themselves when you need 'em. Lucky, I have a backup Chinese version of the book la..

Marina Sq.
They were having a miniature amazing race there. Teresa and I ended up at Chocz for a drink. OoOOoo... the Tropical Whites I had is definitely a must try; heavenly hot white chocolate fused with a tint of mango!

Together with Teresa and the "Kui Hua Bao Dian", I've finally scheduled for the places to visit. Thanks giRl.. drink's on me for that.

some places on the list include:

Night Market and Lady's Street
Ocean Park
Victoria Peak
Causeway Shopping district
Lan Kwai Fong
Celebrity's Walkway

ChinaTown
We ended the day here with dinner. But brfore that.. check out this pair of chopsticks

Man.. it's freaking bigger and longer than your usual sticks. If I take the small plate of mee into consideration... It's like lighting the ciggie with a cAmpfiRe laa!

At least the desert compensated for the food. We ordered red bean with peanut..

The sensation is great as the combination of warm red bean paste counter the chilly ice. The peanut blend well with the taste of red bean; and generous amount of milk could be detected with every bite. To make YOU readers even more jealous.. it's only $1 for a bowl!

Alright.. that's it for the day here :)

styled,
CH

Lie begets lies, don't start one.

We can't believe this... we spent around an hour arguing and comtemplating on the username for blogspot; which is totally IRRELEVANT and a waste of time.
After all the hoo-haa, we spent two hours making up this blog.

At least we managed to pull it off. Something was done within the few hours ...which includes the blog, email, and.... blog and email... that's all. Oh, and as for the few friend who suggested those names; they are better left for the new bible. Thanks anyway...we still love u..

Btw, we are coming up with a TalkShow~ what we are talking about will encompass everything under the sky. Do check this blog every now and then coz we anin't sure when will the first show be posted up!

So stay tuned and cheers~
