I know U ADORE me, who doesn't!
Ser's Indulgence N Obsession

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

It was one of the nights when I had just returned from work. Left my GUESS bag on the sofa in the living room and saw bro walking to the kitchen. Started to talk to him and I followed him to the kitchen. Suddenly I stepped on a piece of "plastic" and it made a loud "Plastic-y" sound. As I was quite engrossed in the conversation, I was not bothered by the piece of rubbish/dirt I had set my foot on.


All of a sudden, my stupid bro had a sly smile plastered on his face. He kept staring at me, still smiling cheekily. I paused, and then.... I started to shout (not so loudly) and began jumping around, clutching my idiotic bro's arm with all my hair standing.


I had stepped on a beetle bare-footed!! EEEEeeeeeee!!!


Bro informed me that as a matter of fact, he had stepped on the poor beetle first and when he was attempting to clear away its corpse, I had stepped on it again -__-"

A lady called me when I was having a nap earlier on. She's from a recruitment agency and asked whether I'm still searching for a job as she had received my resume few days ago. In the end, we agreed on an interview tomorrow morning at 10am and she said would email me the venue of the interview. The call was at about 530pm.


Now is 9pm. And I've not received her email yet. I guess she has forgotten to -__-


Called back the number but no one picked up my call. I think everyone has knocked off already. Aiyo, why the lady so blur and forgetful one?! Duhzz.


Fyi, I'm searching for a customer service oriented job as I do not have much sales experience to be a sales promoter/executive. I hope to accumulate more customer service experience so that in future, my market value will increase. Unlike now, without much experience in any professional field, it's rather difficult to secure a high paying occupation. Thus, this will be my long term goal. To fully penetrate into the customer service industry.


My mood ain't good at all these days. I think it's the stress that's erupting within me thus lil' lil' things irk me to the max easily, GRRRR!! Dread of going to work cuz I don't wanna face my sucky relatives. Fear of not able to find a job soon and I will end up damn broke again. Envy when I saw alot of my ex-schoolmates doing very well, either in their career or being happily settled down with a love one. Sadness overcame me when I recalled of a really close gf I used to have and how we have drifted away. I do miss her and our schooling days.


Haizz. At the age of 25++ going 26 this year, I'm still back to square one. Achieved nothing in my career and relationship. Was on the phone with big Alicia last night when I'm on my way home from work and confided her in alot of stuff. Felt damn nostalgic and upset, esp when I told her how worried I am should I still be unemployed. I want to continue to give my parents more allowance so that they do not have to work so hard. How I do not want to continue to live financially on them anymore as they've slogged hard in their lives already. I almost weep at my pathetic plight. Yeah, I've been feeling rather emotional these days but I can't help it. Soo stressful for me. Sighzz.


On top of all these, my U700 is spoilt! The touch buttons became inactive when I slide the phone up and it's so hard to sms or do a simple task now. Not only that, it always hang and I had to on off it several times. It machiam is throwing a tantrum, suka suka then can work, buay song then just died on me or refused to respond no matter how I touched the now-insensitive touch buttons. At times, I can't even answer a call cuz I need to touch the call button to answer it. In the end, I had few missed calls. Imagine your phone ringing before you and you simply can do nothing about it and watched the call displayed as a missed call. Damn pek cek you know!!


I know that I should have brought it for repair but as I do not have any spare phone and I'm worried any company will call me up for an interview, I can only hope and try to drag and prolong its lifespan before it totally died on me.

Kept pestering Dad whether he has any spare phones with him and he finally produced a NOKIA damn old phone. Bo bian, at least I can be contactable lah if I were to finally send my dying U700 to be resuscitated back to life. The most I try not to take it out unnecessarily in public lor. So OR-BIANG!


I've learnt my lesson. Never purchase a touch screen phone again!!


Tried to upload a few pics from my U700 but after plugging in the USB cable, there's no signal at all leh. I don't know whether it's the computer or the phone's fault. Sianz.


Big Alicia and I are no longer teaching at the centre anymore. Monday was her last day and yesterday was mine. Glad I do not have to face the rowdy notti children again. Relieved at the same time as I've finally had the courage to give up teaching and to move on with my life. Only issue on my head now is, I wonder what lies ahead in my life next.

2 of my P5 girls wrote some farewell wishes on a paper for me during the class and passed it to me when the lesson ended. I do miss some of them though. Will post it up next time.


Can't wait for my pay to be banked in. My moisturizer, eye lotion and more necessities had run out! Gotta clear all my bills too. Money Money Money... Simply can't do without you, my honey!!!

Woke up from a call by Pauline at 11 plus in the morning. I know it's going to be noon already but I'm just so exhausted. She asked whether I wanna meet her go town for some shopping cuz she needed to purchase some stuff. I had to reject her lah cuz I've already planned to stay home for the whole of this weekend. Not that I'm guai or what-so-ever but my bank account is empty liao and I'm super duper broke! Haizz, waiting for my salary to come in this coming week.


I'm oh-so-broke to the extend that I don't have the financial means to even top up my EZ-Link card. Yeah, it's that bad. But I did accompany my parents to TPY Ctrl cuz Mum wanna go walk walk and get some stuff and Dad wanna buy some jeans/pants for his upcoming trip. Dad knew I don't have money le thus he took out $20 for me to top up my fare-card. However, the machine available only accept NETS thus Mum used hers to help me top-up instead.

Haizz, really feel so ashamed of myself at times when I still gotta rely on my parents financially. But in changing my job this time, I do hope that in future, I can have a higher income thus allowing me to give my parents more allowance.


I love my family.


Even Sis who is damn thrifty, has given a loan of $500 to me in this month. At least everytime when I'm in financial difficulty, she will not hesitate to go through the trouble to transfer money to me. Somehow, I guess our relationship has improved.....

I did go for the interview after all. Took mc and Sis drove me to One Fullerton where the company was situated. The first impression as I stepped into the company was.... WOW! The place looked really bright, organized and nice! Somemore can see the beautiful sea view! The staff there looked really young and well-dressed. The receptionists who greeted me looked pretty too! It did leave a good impression in me...

They gave me the application form to sign up. Saw another man who was there for the interview as well. My friend did inform me that it would be a pair interview together. It was in fact the first time the company decided to do a group interview and I'm just so sway lah can! My performance was really poor as I couldn't answer the scenario questions that the manager threw to me. My mind sort of went blank and I was stammering and muttering nonsense lah. Don't wish to elaborate further =(


I guess I wouldn't get the job after all. The other man's responses were rather good. He could speak really well too, plus he did have similar working experiences. Most likely he would get in instead. Then when the interview ended and we were making our way to the exit, I saw June with her colleague standing at the receptionist area. Went up to her and chatted with her for a while.


After pouring out to her that I've flunked the interview for good, she told me that the receptionists had exclaimed to her earlier that a very pretty lady had come for the interview. June, knowing that there's only me and the man who had come for the interview asked the recepts whether the name was Serene and told them that I'm her friend! Wahaha... Even though I might not get the job but it's really flattering to hear compliments from the pretty girls.


After that, I took a bus to Suntec City and called Kenny whose outlet is in Marina Square whether he wanna meet for dinner. He was on his way to work and agreed to meet up. He treated me to dinner and invited me to his KBOX outlet to sing for free. Initially thought of meeting Viy too, thus I rested in the room with Kenny coming in to accompany me to chat once a while. In the end, did not manage to meet Viy. Think she's tired from work le bah and so she headed home instead. Did not stay for long and I left for home soon after.


Oh ya, talk about Viy, met her last week after my Sk classes for dinner cum supper. Over the meal, she told me that the last time we attended Kenny's ROM and she had chatted with one of the 2 guys who came out from the lift as we were leaving. She asked whether I still remember the guy and being someone with poor memory, obviously I can't remember anything at all. She said that the guy commented that I'm cute and wanna know me. Keke! Viy said the guy kept pestering her to intro me to him lah. Then she further added that... She has never found me cute at all!! Wahaha! I simply lurve such "NICE" and frank gfs lah. Ya lah, I also can't find any cutye side of me. I'm not CUTE. I'm just GORGEOUS! =P Just kidding~


Chatted with June on msn earlier and she told me another flattering news. She showed her bro the photos that I took during my flying trip in Msia in Dec. He praised that.... I look like a celebrity!!!


WAHAHAHAHA!!!!


I told her to convey the msg that photos are often deceiving and many commented that I don't look like the me in the photos. But she assured me that I do look like the photos lah and encouraged me to have more confidence in myself. She also reminded me that her recepts found me very pretty mah!

Ok Ok...


But I only look presentable with tons of make-up lah! SO I guess my make-up skills did improve bah~~ Hehe.


Have not seen Fion since Aug last year. We have been busy with our personal lives and finally had a brief conversation with her on msn today. Though she did ask whether I'm available to meet up but like I've mentioned, I'm too broke to even go out. Meet again AFTER I've got my pay yah!


Had become closer with big Alicia. We can throw really crude remarks at each other then laughing it off. We have become so close that we chatted almost everyday on the phone for hours and hours! She's really like a nice big sister to me. Small Alicia and I will be going to her home this coming CNY again to bai nian. I told her to prepare big ang pows, buy nice food, chocolates, and bak kua for meeee! She agreed of cuz as she really dotes on us.


I know that my entries have been boring but I'm just so tired everytime I reach home. My classes this year are a nightmare to me!! Soo many notti and rowdy children that no matter how I screamed my lungs out at them, they started making noise again after a while. Sigh. I ended with a strain and rather sore throat after teaching at nights. Glad that I'm teaching till this coming Tues only. Will be free from lil' monsters after that!! =D


Been actively looking for jobs. I do hope to find one that I will enjoy working in and of cuz is paying well. I know it's hard to have the best of both worlds but anyway, will keep you guys updated again.

This is my tarot reading.



How you feel about yourself now (The Sun)

You are feeling abundant happy and joyful - if you don’t, be assured that you are about to enter a period of success and fulfillment. This is a time of pleasure, vitality and good health, travel and holidays to be enjoyed. Good news around children or the conception or birth of a longed-for baby. The Sun heralds an ending to difficulties and a time to celebrate with friends and loved ones.



What you most want at this moment (The Hanged Man)

The cards suggest serene, that what you most want at this time is to have it all, why should you have to give something or someone up? Perhaps you feel a victim and that events are not going as planned. Trust that this is a passage from one phase of your life to another. If you are not sure what or who you need to give up, trust that what will be will be, and will ultimately be to your benefit.



Your fears (The High Priestess)

You are feeling uneasy and insecure, something in your gut is saying ‘be careful, all is not as it seems’ - something just doesn’t feel right. If so, delay any decisions or actions until you have answered your concerns. If male this could signify a significant woman in your life being a bad influence.



What is going for you (Death)

A time of absolute endings and brand new beginnings, your life is going through a period of great transformation. Whilst it may be difficult or even painful you will pull through. You will be free for a brand new phase in your life.



What is going against you (The Moon)

You are frozen with fear, lack of nerve and confused as to what it is you actually want. You are allowing all your fears and anxieties to hold you back when you should be opening your mind to new and unexpected possibilities. You do need to be careful however, as there are deceitful people around who may seem charming but are only out for their own gains. If in a clandestine affair beware, your secret may be exposed.



Outcome (The Magician)

A time of positive action with great potential, you are full of self-belief and feeling very empowered. It's time to show everyone exactly what you’re made of. You will have the ability to think on your feet and The Magician is an excellent omen for success.


So freaking freaking accurate again!! Guess what I've asked about... I enquired about my changing of job soon. I've finally decided to cease teaching for good and will be teaching till end of this month. No yet found a new job but I've sent my resume to one company, the one that June is working in now. Hope that they will contact me soon. This year is really a transition in my life, new job, new life, new goals to achieve. I'm finally moving on to the next phase of my life after 3 yrs plus of teaching =)


Have not been blogging cuz my CPU broke down again. Stupid bro lah, did something to it and caused it to break down. Most importantly is that I'm finally back to CyberSpace! =D


Met up with June to Orchard jalan last Sat and attended Kenny's ROM at KBOX K-Union last Sunday. Took few pics but using Viyond's camera so I have to wait for her to send me before I can post them up. Saw so many familiar faces, people whom I've worked with but have not been contacting after I quit KBOX 4 yrs ago. Glad to attend such gatherings once a while.


Meeting big and small Alicias tml to jalan and have our dinner at Clark Quay. I'm super broke thus can only window-shop. Haizz. Can hardly survive liao =(


On Thurs, I was on my way to work and it was raining. Had to shield myself from the rain with an umbrella of cuz. Crossed the road and I spotted an army truck full of NS men in it. Got a bad feeling... Maybe cuz I'm always teased by the hum sup men in cars on the road? Anyway, I quickened my pace and tried hard to block their vision of me with my umbrella. The next moment, I heard shouting -__-


"Xiao Jie!! Xiao Jie!! Xiao Jieeeeeee!!!"


I almost died of embarrassment on the spot. Hate it whenever such incident happen. Fortunately it was raining thus there ain't a soul nearby to witness it.


Then on Fri, I went to Hougang Green to buy my dinner during my break. Walked past a group of ah beng xiao didi. I did not look at them lah, I dun like to have eye contact with such immature kiddos. Later they say I diao them and give me trouble. But hor, as I walked past, a xiao didi said out loud....


"Hello Jie Jie!"


-__-


Then I heard him make a remark to his friend in Mandarin "She not bad hor..."


Then never mind. At night, my class ended late, about 945pm and as usual, I walked to the bus-stop to wait for my bus. A malay man in his twenties was there as well and he started to lit his cigarette for a puff before his bus arrive. Realised we took the same bus and he ended up sitting beside me as the bus was quite full.


The pungent stench of cigarette almost suffocated me. That's not all... He was sitting so close to me can!! As I was sitting inside, I couldn't move in any more and he was like occupying 3/4 of the seat. He sat so close that his shoulders were practically touching mine lor. Wa lao, I got a feeling that this hum sup Malay man did it on purpose but he appeared oblivious and indifferent leh. Haizz. Perhaps I might be too sensitive but still he shouldn't have sat so close to me what!! In the end, I tolerated him as long as he did not do anything funny.


Why men and boys nowadays all like that one??? Really turn me off.

Hmmm, I have a basket full of clothes waiting to be hand-washed. Yeah Yeah, I'll wash half of them later after I logged off.

Hmm, I have stacks and stacks of worksheets waiting to be marked. Yeah Yeah, I'll start my marking after I've washed my clothes and a shower after the washing.

Hmm, I'm just soo lazy right now. Yeah Yeah, I'll get my arse away from the PC and start doing what I have to for the night ain't getting younger already!! Hehe.

The clock struck twelve not long ago and it is a brand new year...


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 EVERYONE!!!!






In 2008, hopefully I can put on weight and become chioer, better face complexion, more money to spend, lesser devils in my class, my family (including my Baby) and friends all stay healthy!!! Oh yah, and able to update my blog more frequently?? LOL!


And so, that's what I'm gonna do right now! To blog about my Msia trip on last Sat.

Hmm, I woke up at 9am to prepare cuz Sis would be fetching me earlier. It wasn't a good start as my favourite gray furry bag's handle broke not long after I was out. I so adore that bag which I bought from KL more than 2 yrs ago. It received many compliments from its chio-ness before and my heart pained when I failed to stick the handle back. In the end, I had to squeeze it into Sis's haversack =(


Then we went to have a quick and light lunch before going to her home to wait for my bro-in-law who was still in a meeting. At my sis's home, while she was bathing and preparing, I started to camwhore with my hp.



















































It was drizzling as we were on our way to Msia. Fortunately the rain stopped and the cool weather was perfect for a flight. We reached the Flying Club and while waiting for Bro-in-law's friend aka Ming the pilot to do some paper work before we can take off, I took some pics again. I even saw 1 ex-actress from Sg with her family at the Club. She's Chen Xiu Huan, tried taking sneak pic of her but all failed. Only managed to capture her back view. But I've found an old pic of her from the Internet, in case you are wondering who the hell is that.
















As we made our way to our plane, we saw many other types of planes too. Ming patiently explained the functions of the various air crafts but I wasn't listening cuz I was busy snapping pics, hehe. Only Sis and bro-in-law,Vance were keen on the knowledge. Ming was really nice to let us in some of the planes to take pic, even a helicopter!!!









































Finally, we approached the plane that we're gonna fly in. Before the plane could take off, there's so much checking to do! Again Ming explained all the lil' details to us. Ahem, I wasn't listening again lah... Hehe.













































Finally we landed and decided to take a group photo but there ain't a soul there thus we placed the camera on the air craft's wing and used self timer. The first 2 pics I'm behind the camera testing on the timer so you will only see me in the final pic.









After that, we drove to JB Jusco Mall to have our dinner and do some shopping. I purchased a pink furry vest. Gawd, I simply *heart* furry stuff! Will post pic of it next time. Quite a jam on our way back to Sg and by the time I reached home, it was already about 130am. Mum was funny lah. She woke up dreamily when I switched on the room light and she asked me why I was home so early.....


I teased her and replied, "HUH! Early? So late liao You still say early?! Then I might as well don't come back!!"


Hehe.. She did not realise it was past midnight already till she looked at her alarm clock after I've made my statement.


Overall, it was quite an experience as not everyone will have the chance of flying in a private jet plane, unless you have a pilot friend lah!


P/s.I've just killed a cockroach nymph with my pesticide and a while later, the corpse was gone. I know that it has been eaten by a lizard. In this case, will the lizard die of FOOD POISONING???
