It's in chinese by the way. (Yes, yes, me and my chinese again)

5 greatest weaknesses of an Aquarian and it says that

1. I've got far-fetched dreams
2. I'll never really talk about my feelings
   
3. My friends and loved one shares the same status
   
4. Has got weird taste
5. Loves my freedom and refuses to be under control

Okay. Bed time. Sian.

When boredom strikes.

A woman was telling her friend, "It is I who made my husband a millionaire."
"And what was he before you married him?" asked the friend.
The woman replied, "A billionaire."

****
There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him. An angel heard his plea and appeared to him.

"Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you."

The man begged the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules. The man continued to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappeared and informed the man that God had decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathered his largest suitcase and filled it with pure gold bars and placed it beside his bed. Soon afterward, he died and showed up at the gates of heaven to greet St. Peter.

St. Peter, seeing the suitcase, said, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!"

The man explained to St. Peter that he had permission and asked him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checked it out, came back and said, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through."

St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaimed, "You brought pavement?"

Bumper Sticker - Filthy, stinking, rich! Well, two out of three isn't bad.

Mullings over work

Work has been fine and life has settled down into a monotonous routine. I still miss school life, where you go day by day without thinking much about what you are going to do next. Surprisingly, this is the first time when i truly enjoy working. That's the difference between working for money and working cos you're interested. Everyday, i go home with a sense of satisfaction at the things i did during the day, regardless if it's a small task or a crazy assignment. At least i'm learning things that are going to be useful.

It's pretty fast, we're one third through with the internship programme and everyone have different experiences and bitchings about their internship and the people they met. I've been fortunate to meet some really great people who patiently explained and taught me things. They have no idea what kind of influence they have over me. They are my first teachers in the real world. And i can't feel thankful enough for their patience.

There's been times when i have been an absolute idiot. I couldn't connect a mouse to the desktop, couldn't find the switch for the hard drive, didn't know what plug went in where, how to burn a disk or do dubbing and even forgot how to eject a disk. It's THAT bad. And most of the times, Sam came to my rescue and explained things to me, ever the patient nice guy he is(Though i think there's many times he was secretly laughing in his head).

But then there are others who sometimes forget that we don't know much, and task us to do things without explaining what they are for. We've learnt to approach and ask them for more information, but the feeling of being an irritating ignorant never goes away. It's such a dilemna sometimes. If you keep asking questions, they'll think you're an idiot. If you don't ask, you don't know what happens and they think you're not initiative enough.

There's been fun times where i got punk'd by Sherlin and my other colleague Sharon (and Tim!), where they got me rushing up to the office thinking something urgent (and terrible) happened when in fact they wanted to make me eat a curry puff they bought for me. Or the time where we were giggling like little kids when we did something naughty.

It's been fun lah.

Cheena wor!

This is crazy. I have officially become the Chinese translator in my company. As much as i curse at my Chinese teachers, books and exams back in secondary school, i have always been proud to be a Chinese and i embrace my heritage. It has always been a love-hate thing and it still is now.

I always hate it when i'm supposed to write in Chinese yet secretly, i'm intrigue by it. There was a period of time where i was reading Qiong-yao's books. And i devoured at least 30 of her books, no kidding! And some of the books had the words in vertical order! (Qiong yao is a female writer in China known for her drama-mama stories, you know. I love you, you love me, disaster struck, we're torn apart, you cry, i cry, everyone cry, bad guy wins, good guy lose, girls get raped, killed, bullied, traumatised, family goes bankrupt, that kinda emo trash. Her most famous were the Little Swallow series that were so famous back then. Remember? The one with Zhao Wei acting as a street urchin turned naughty princess.)

Now, i've been tasked to translate English into Chinese and i've got to have it done ASAP, probably by early afternoon tomorrow. Yes... DIEEEE!

Anyway...


And the most important line of all, "You can drive while awaiting the delivery of your photocard driving license." =D =D =D

OOPS! returns....

The past few days have been spent with the crazy buggers in the likes of Hakim, Leonard, various classmates/coursemates and the suspicious article as seen below. "If you see this suspicious article, please inform our staff or call nine, nine, nine..."


Been meeting Hakim for the past three days and it made me miss the days where the three of us will meet before school, during breaks, during self-breaks (self given breaks wahahaha) and after school for smoke breaks or a teh-peng session. All the silly things we do, the nonsensical stuff things we laugh at, the late night howling (singing) while waiting for cabs and the sickening jokes and antics we do. Like this for example.


It doesn't help that there's white sauce all over the "balls". Have been spending two nights at Fairuz's and Pengpeng's office, watching them busying themselves with the piling workload while i sit and read the newspapers, or spend an hour scrubbing a whiteboard till it sparkles, or doodling on the calender on the wall. LOL. Looks familiar? (I wasn't targeting him on purpose, he just happens to be november calender boy).

And well, lots of things happening for OOPS! Magazine. The publicity activities are ongoing/starting, those who are still in SP will see the new posters and floor stickers, plus many more publicity stuff are coming up. The website, www.weareoops.com will be up TOMORROW (21st Nov) and the magazine will be back on the12th. Definitely with better design, more content and better prizes to be won.


Can't wait to watch Beowulf tomorrow, we've (me and the ugly one above.. =P) got free tickets to GV Vivo's one year birthday anniversary or something =D

Fucking hell

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK DAMN DULAN.

If you need to scold me, you don't have to CC the email to everyone else as well. What the fuck. I'm in the wrong and i'm okay about getting scolded, but to do so and CC it around..

I seriously can't be bothered with this shit anymore. It's not like we're really benefiting from all this. It's just a few miserable CCA points that are useless (since i'm not going to uni), a dropping GPA grade, lost sleep, deadlines and more deadlines. I rather do my internship work. At least i feel a sense of satisfaction, i'm learning new things, i'm earning money and i'll get good grades from it.

Fucking pissed. I would have been fine about this whole thing except that they have to fucking CC everyone else.

Woooooooork......

My working place =)

Yeah, you've got it, it's the one that resembles a damn forest.

My favourite colleague. LOL

Went to SPH to go through microfilms of 1940s newspapers.
DAMN OBIANG!!! HAHAHAH!!!

You get what i mean =P

Just so you know

By Jesse McCartney

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus:]
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now

Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

[Chorus]
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here [Chorus]

What is love?

HELP!!!!!!!

I swear i'm gonna puke if i see another chinese word again.

I've been typing a chinese script for the past four hours and i'm only done with three pages. I have 6 more pages to go! ARGHHHH!!! I am in awe of all chinese scriptwriters now. They are my new idols. Holy shit, imagine typing a 40 page script!

Yeah, ranted. Back to work =(

FB rocks.

Hahaha! I love FaceBook.

There's this guy whom i've been curious about for a very long time (can't say who) and i tried to find him on FB... I FOUND HIM!

He's always blowing hot and cold, there are times when he is friendly, but then he'll suddenly be very formal and polite to you. I don't know how to react to him each time. There are times when i thought we could be friends but then, he suddenly becomes very polite. I think that he's a fun person, but perhaps because of the difference in status, he's not very approachable. He's always very quiet, very serious, very polite and he don't laugh much. Usually, people laugh at what i say (they find me funny even when I'm angry), but for him, he simply smiles. It took me almost a week to finally hear him laugh.

And then, i found him on FB. With all the emo rantings and retarded pictures of him doing funny things. WAHAHAHAHA!! I think he'd be very appalled if he knows I've seen his profile.

*GRINS.

Photo galore

Happy early birthday POH YUN JIA!!!

Just a couple of photos from the millions and zillions taken in the past week.










Tata!

Emo piece of shit.

I miss him..

It should have worked, and make things better, but instead, it makes me feel more fucked up then ever. I don't even know what is the right thing to do anymore.

Clar

Just finished transcription for another episode! AHH! 3 hours of sleep left.

Sian

Spent my entire day working on ONE single assignment and when i thought i'm done with it, i realised i did it wrongly and had to make quite a bit of changes. So frustrating!

Damn tired and emo.

Fuuuuun!

I am exhausted!

Went to work and spent the better half of the morning trying to look busy on a empty desk armed with a handphone and an outdated LIME magazine, followed by a few enjoyable hours duplicating tapes and watching the shows at the same time.

Had lunch, and i had to run errands to Med*iaco*rp, to pass the tapes for transmission and to collect tapes from the Audio Post (where they do the sound effects for the show and stuff..) Then, it's back to Dre*am Fo*rest where i collected and went on my way again to send tapes to Cu*tting Ed*ge (Editing Studio). And BACK AGAIN at the production house and less then 10 minutes after i cooled down and felt comfortable, Tim was done with his part of the work and so, we "knocked" off at 5, had to run with him to Tanjong Pagar AGAIN to pass stuff to Cu*tting Ed*ge and Ki*ds Ce*ntral. It beats working at a desk bound job though its really tiring.

I'm hoping that i'll get to do something different tomorrow. Learnt quite a bit about post productions stages and the different roles in the production house.

I love my workplace. It's situated near Plaza Sing, The Cathay, pubs and lots of food places! It's a really cosy and quaint place, and the best thing is the flexibility of the work. As long as you can complete your work, working hours and lunch breaks are pretty much own time own basis.

And the bestest best thing? We report at 10-11am! No stupid OLs (office ladies) pushing you in stations, no morning crowd sandwich fest (which reminded me, i had a fucking FROZEN sandwich from 7-11 and i almost puked when i tasted the frozen tomatoes. Go try it for yourself and you'll see what i mean. Fucked up man!) and more sleep! Hur hur.

Of course, all great things wouldn't last long, i expect the speed will pickn up as we enter pre-pro and production stage. Then, the crazy hours would start.

And the most exciting part of my day was realising that the editing studio i'll be running errands to often, is a floor down from Makansutra where Len is working. Lol. Talk about coincidence.

P/s: gotta have the * there to make it harder if anyone tries to find my blog with keywords.

Start of something new

Today's the start of a brand new day. No longer can i skip lessons, miss classes or oversleep. I can't say i feel sad about it, its inevitable all good things must end and the real task of living starts. I've been dependent on the help of people around me for too long and it's time i learn to stand on my own feet and be responsible for my own actions.

I will miss school and all my friends, but we'll stay in contact and meet often. Thank you all for the wonderful memories, the tears and the laughter. Thank you for the patience you've shown me and everything you've taught me. I will remember everyone =)

You can tell i'm not in the best of mood today. It's been a tough week filled with goodbyes and more than ever now, i need a good sign to tell me everything's gonna be alright, i'm gonna be fine.

I wished i could have started the day on a happier note but i guess its a week meant for reflections and changes.

Everyone, work hard and do well for the internship! Call me anytime for dinner or to meet up. I love you all!

Goodbye school life!

I'm gonna kill someone or kill myself.

Oh my god i need a break man. I'm editing the final few OOPS articles and with every article that i look at, the more fed up i get. There are certain things that falls within the category of common sense, but apparently, they don't have that.

I get an article talking about a person, yet no mention of the person's name can be found in the damn article. HELLO? Am i suppose to guess? Gosh.

Then there's those that are filled with pretty words and no content.

And the worst of all, fucking long articles with no direction, no organization and no editing.

Siao lor. I'm really going to go siao soon. It's not that i'm being a bastard. I admit that i'm not fantastic at what i'm doing and i'm still learning. But the issue now is not about my editing skills, or the lack of their editing or writing skills. It's the lack in common sense!

Argh!
