Megalomania

Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please

The good news is she can’t have babies
And won’t accept gifts from me
What are they for?
They’ll just grow up and break the laws you’ve loved

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath it’s me
Who are you oooh

Useless device, it won’t suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone – it won’t be long
Before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath its me

I will miss SOS

Awww Project SOS is over!!! SO SAD. But had GREAT FUN yesterday at ECP Castle Beach although was super busy running around taking pictures.. but it was still very fun! Made many new friends during this project (:

But when I dropped by the Castle Beach today, THE WHOLE THING WAS GONEEEEEE. :’( Damn sad, really sad. It’s been only one day and everything has been smashed to piles to sand. Oh well. At least we have pictures to keep the memories in our hearts…

The documentation team: videographer Mingjie and photographer me posing with our equip! haha

Build a Castle, Build a Dream!

Woo

Work is getting more fun and interesting. I think it’s really because of the people I’m working with nowadays. Bernard, Ferdie, Amy, Nas, Keat.. and my colleague Fendy came back as a chef!!! It’s so funny seeing him in the chef’s uniform hahahaha not used to it yet. Talked a while with the chef Ah Keat after work today while waiting for my dad, and he’s suuuuper duper funny lurh. They are all so lovely nice people really. (:

Maybe it’s because a certain someone isn’t working =x

But anyway, loving my job.. hope it stays this way! It’s been a pretty interesting holiday so far.. loving it. Going Aussie soon! Very scared yet quite excited..

And I’m going to be EXTREMELY busy until Saturday because of Project Summer on Sand. Will be at east coast park whole day on Thursday and Friday, and then the actual event happens on Sat. (: Anyone free on Sat morning you’re welcome to our Summer on Sand event at the Castle Beach, East Coast Park from 1030am to 3pm. There’ll be sandcastle building, music bands and food! Lots of funnnnn I can’t wait.

Crrrrazy day.

Now is 5.10am in the morning and I just got home. It’s been a crazy day, yet I’m not tired.

Went for the PL musical, The Father’s Gift in the noon with my dearest Wendy and Lydia. Even Lydia’s dad calls us the three musketeers haha. Anyway Lydia’s sister as the KING was fantastic! Super hilarious (: And it was so nice meeting teachers like Mr Tang, Mrs Chong, Ms Ho.. even though they don’t seem to recognize me -.- I guess I really changed alot. And also bumped into Cipei and my long time no see jie Michelle!

Then rushed down to meet the peeps at Rocher Tau Huey -.- After that was gaming at MINDS because there was no more tix for Dark Knight at orchard area! It was quite funny actually the games… because they are so mindless =x

And around 9pm went down to the National Museum for Nightfest (: It was quite beautiful the sight of dancing in the air and the beautifully painted HUGE balloons. Lovely lovely music too (:

After that rushed all the way to Pasir Ris for Masz’s wedding! The place looked very very pretty!! And it was so funny chatting with my TCC colleagues. (: Love love all of them.. And Gelvin even lent me $50 for the cab ride to AMK. Awww.

Yup, then suddenly Benny messaged about watching Dark Knight at 130am.. So, after hanging around with the TCC peeps for awhile, cabbed down to AMK Hub to catch Dark Knight. The cab driver drove SUPER DUPER FAST. Like, 15mins and I’ve reached AMK. I like this kinda cab drivers…. lol.

Dark Knight was VERY GOOD. Disturbing and long, but good. Worth the moneyy heh. But felt so bad making them stay up until so late. Oh wells.. Now I’m home, and doing my bible study homework heh. No need to sleep already…… But really thanks alot guys for everything! (:

Anyway Muscle Museum is my MUSEEEEE now. And my ringtone haha.

People come and go

Sigh, although it was a good day at work, I was very sad. Why? ‘Cos today was one of my fave people in TCC’s last day. It was SO SAD!! When he shook my hand to say goodbye I was almost on the verge of tears. And when I left TCC he was like “wah.. wait for me before you go la”. But cannot wait until 11pm la heh..

I’ll definitely miss him because he is such a humble and nice guy. I’ll miss his “good morning”s to me even if its like 10pm at night, his random winks.. just him as the very nice guy in TCC. He’s going back to M’sia, and then coming back to work as a chef!!! Hopefully he will come back to our branch, but I really wonder if I’ll still be there by then… =/

Small small world

Today in TCC I was serving these two men in blazers, and I found out they were the bosses of Candy Empire! Talked to them quite alot, cos they asked ALOT of questions like my salary, where am I schooling and even where I stay?! It was quite interesting.. and one of them even asked me to come over and work for him at candy empire instead ‘cos the salary is abit higher.

And then after work when I was going about my MOM job, I received an SMS from Seekit asking me whether I talked to two businessmen in TCC.. and I immediately thought about those customers. Called her back, and she told me that her boss at Millenia TCC was talking about this “very short and cute” girl he met at Airport TCC, and then she asked whether it’s Serene and he got all excited because yes that “very short and cute” girl is me. -.- Then Seekit told me that he said I could come work for him at Candy Empire anytime lol.

Such a smallllll world!!!

Good day

It’s a good day today (:

Got good feedback from customers. Colleagues were nice today. One angmo customer recognized me from 2 weeks ago, though I didn’t remember him =X but it was nice of him to remember so.

Bumped into Lynn, the HR secretary from CGH. Asked her to keep a lookout for temp admin jobs at CGH for me. Strange, just when I was talking about CGH yesterday… Life works in mysterious ways.

Met up with Mingjie after so long to edit SOS video. It was fun! (:

So that’s why it’s a good day today (:

On life now..

I’m not exactly LOVING life now, although its the holidays; but I feel as though I’m going through a new phase. Now I feel the need to be saving up money for my future, and not to simply spend spend spend like my other holidays. Of course, if I weren’t working these two crazy part-time jobs (and not exactly fun I must admit), I’m sure I’ll be loving life much more than now. I reminisce my previous slack admin job at CGH where the people are so nice and kind to me, and the meaningful camps I’ve gone through (like Y Camp! (:), and I can’t help but compare those times with what I’m going through now… It’s really different.

At TCC, I finally see how some people can be so double-faced. I really appreciate the rest of the peeps there, but I really can’t stand 1 or 2 of them. Gelvin was asking me whether I had other jobs before and I mentioned the CGH one, and then he started complaining to the other peeps that I enjoy the other job more than this TCC job although I didn’t say that at all…

But what struck me was that what he said was actually true.

Although the people at CGH were much older than me and there is definitely generation gap between me and them, but they were so genuine and nice… it is definitely less stressful there than in TCC. And I admit, the peeps at TCC are kinda bad influence, although they can be fun and all.

I guess, this is the real world huh.

On to the other job,

I’m so glad to have such a motherly supervisor for MOM. Although I’m severely below quota, she still treats me so nice I feel so guilty =x But I’m starting to feel tired for this job, it is not exactly likeable especially the personal home visits. You go all the way down and visit so many houses but they are either not in or refuse to do the survey or don’t understand you or JUST DON’T OPEN THE FREAKING DOOR… and it gets on your nerves lol. But I realised that the people from Marine Drive flats are very friendly to each other, and they know their neighbours pretty well which is very nice… And the flats have VERY NICE scenery views!!! Esp. the higher storeys.

They even have a view of the sea?!!

View in the evening (shows how long I’ve been out doing house visits)

And on to happier things,

Siti and I celebrated Hoying’s birthday at this small but really nice Egyptian restaurant in Arab Street. Gosh, I’m already missing the food there as I look through the pictures… Yum. And we bought her a bag too! Hoying, use it often alright??

The lamb khish

The delicious potato wedges

Shucks I forgot the name of this dish, but its brinjal with chick peas served with pita bread. It’s super good (:

Plus the irritatingly cute cat which jumped onto our table and almost ate our food. (eh it moved when I wanted to take a picture of it)

AND on to the HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK…

SPAIN WON EURO 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super proud of them… after 44 years, they finally won! And they SO deserved it, they were darn good last night. I know Germany fans are still pissed or sad… but Germany really played poorly yesterday, that’s a true FACT and please get over it… I’m sick of people dissing Spain already. I can’t wait for World Cup 2010 (:

Anyway here’s my TORRES

I LOVE HIS ELVISH TATTOO… FELLOW HARDCORE LOTR FAN! (makes me love him even more)

But Guiza stole his trademark pose already lol. Oh well, time to find another pose…

Anyway sandcastle training is pretty fun, I’m finally doing my proper job as documentation subcomm =x If you want to see some pictures that I’ve taken you can take a look here:
