I just got back from my nearly 2h interview. Cool. Better than first time. At least I answer the questions decently except for one which I felt like kicking myself. The office is at the China town area and I was 5 min late. The office is in one of the shophouse and the stair to the 3rd floor was dark. When i reached the floor, I have the feeling that I have overdressed. The people there were so cool. The first person i saw as i went around the corner,which i orignally thought is the receptionist is actually the lady boss. She was in charge of Juzze online mag. Then I saw Jon the guy boss. Good looking! He's american. Cool. I like the environment there and as I was asked to wait on the red couch, I notice some hiphop music was being played. One bad thing is that, the stair handle was covered by 1 layer of dirt. Yike.

Anyway, the job propsect seem not bad. The scope is not that defined and you will learn many other aspects of the work which is actually a good thing to me. I dunno whether i should go for it. My main concern is that it's internship for 6 weeks and salary isn't promising. Plus after 6 weeks, will they still want me as permanent staff. ...


Rewrite:
Wonder where the hell have me been for not updating my blog daily? Hm...I don't think it matters to you! Okie. Back to business of bullshitting. I, the ever-sexy elf, have been sent away on assignment for these few days, along with my gb mates to Noria, Lorencia, Davias and Dungeon to rid of those freaky never-ending monsters. Don't understand a glib of what I say? Read here! I can officially announce that Gunbound is a passing fad for me finally, though, addicting to another RPG game isn't what I intended. Nevertheless, it is something there to occupied my unlimited free time and to entertain myself while living the drifting life of an unemployed now.

Have my second interview today! (Don't be that shocked my friends, I just realise my resume lacks some stuff, no wonder no one called me up until after i added in the essential info) The first one which not even lasted beyond 30 min, was freaky, this one is better. I felt confident, being in control of myself when I spoke. Maybe it's due to not so corporate environment. This interview actually dragged on to nearly 2 hrs and I have 3 interviewers, each at one time. I was getting impatience when the third guy interviewed me.

Anyway, I didn't quite prepared myself becuase the day before, my mum spent my entire dinner time to lecture me that such job that pays 600 buck for 6 weeks of internship may be some crook company making use of cheap labour, imagine a fresh uni grad go do a job lower paid than a diploma holder is a laughing stock, blah blah blah...until I lose my initial interest.

But then, this job was actually introduced by my friends' friend and she said it herself that she really likes the work there. Then why she left? Cos the boss said that due to her family pressure, she has to leave the company. Her family wants her to work for big "reliable" companies since the company I applied for is a small startup company just like my dad's. Few months before, they were working at the boss's house until he found it too crowded as the company is expanding. For the time being, i shall keep this piece of info from my parents or else they will hagger me again, saying rather me work for my dad! But then I'm an IT gal.

Hm. No makeup except for a lipgloss and hair-define gel (if guys don't put makeup, why should i be doing that although every seminar on job interviews do state that as essential for gals - Good impression pays! Anyway my wayward mindset is I don't want to waste my stuff going for something I'm not gaurantee of. Anyway speaking of truth, I just a superplain jane, after makeup is also like this pattern), still wore back my "marketing" uniform (my 1 and only 1 appropriate corporate clothes, damn pathetic ya) already save alot of preparation time. However I spent 15min to solely search for my last uni result slip only to realise that it hasn't been mailed to me yet. Arg. I was then 5 min late but then the bosses heck care about it.

When I reached amoy street and was expected to see rows of shophouse. I was told it

I was damn shocked to hear that one of my dance friend, XF married. She was older than me by 1 year and I'm still in this state. Oh gosh! Ring that alarm for me!

I was counting the number of Cs in my uni cert and was pleased to see that i got more Bs than Cs. However today, the release of results for my last semester somehow balances that count. Damn! Lesson learned: Don't be happy that early!


A cotton-filled sky on Last sunday.

My mum ah, so mischievous, went to take a green highlighter to draw across my glow-in-dark (wrist supporter) piggy's snort!!! (-.-") Sheesh. I think she likes my pink piggy.


Today, I proud to announce that I took up my initiative to help my mum wash the dinner dishes this evening. The last time I did, was when I was home alone while my family is oversea. Oh man, it took me one hour and I ended up with all my clothes and hair wet, my glasses splashed with detergent bubble and a backache. While washing, i have to do it with my legs split wide to make myself shorter in order to be compatible with the height of the basin or else my back gonna ache more. My pathetic state earned my mum's laughter and I think that makes my day. Otherwise my mum and my kapo sis would nag at me why I'm not helping my dad's business and only live in my own virtual gaming world.

Maksim is my current obession. How come I only get to know about this cool Croatia piano player now when he was here in Singapore performing some weeks back. Sheesh. I recognise his sideview from the photo that the canadian hacker uploaded in my sis's friendster account. I think I'm quite vulnerable to guys who play instruments. But other than that, I has alway preferred a speedy tempo something like the one you find in "The Flight of BummerBee" . It's gonna be booming on my lappie for consecutive weeks.

Went to Suntec with CH, an old friend from secondary school but we already met each other during our primary education. She said that she alway took the same path home with me and my sis after school so that why she knew about us. She alway remembers the coconut trees, each on my and my sis's head, all thanks to my mum's crazy idea. I think my same level school mate will remember our hairdo.

Anyway I treat my good friend with a Trutti Frutti waffles @ Gelares after seeing her hesitating to come into the shop with me and she forgot to thanks me! Basic courtesy, my friend!!!!! Anyway I was starved myself and find it too embarassing to force her to pay just to accompany me to eat. But then she ate half of it. So what the heck!!!

Bought a milk bath from watson, supposedly the cheapest among all the brands. And, to my surprise, the product name did not lie. It really smells of milk. And i also bought StIves's apricot scrub. It really makes my skin feel smooth after exfoliating. Hope it does away the little bumps on my calves due to waxing.

My bro now plays palmtop's gunbound. Thanks goodness, one less bugger to fight with me for the Internet line.

I AM SUPER-BORED AT HOME!!! My parents will be attending funeral later and I will be left at home all alone with my sis. Super Sian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suppose to have an interview @ Creative this morning but decided to forgo it last night because of its location and the time. So early ask me go jurong just for some stupid temporary promoter position for their warehouse sales. I wonder why I'm so thick to apply for that position earlier. Sheesh!

Ever since the LianHeWanBao introduces the herbal effects (clear the waste in your intestines that why i hear!) of this grass, everyone has been getting one for himself. My good O' mom has been forcing me (like an old baby)to gulp down the greenish mixture she makes everynight since I'm a frequent victim of constipation. And I realise the waste output increase by 4 folds, amazing isn't it. I feel cleaner and healthier


Get this 'xiao mai chao' if you want one becuase it is sweeter. Other brands taste horrible.

Hot lava lamp lits up one of the wc cubicle at Conrad Hotel, one of the kinds that impressed me so much. I suggest you spend your Sunday noon cuddling up at the sofa beside the pianist working his pieces on the grand piano with a romantic novel while coffee aroma from nearby cafeshop fills the air.

My fourth aunt commented that my face has turned fairer upon seeing me popping up at her factory. (Isn't my complexion that fair all along?) She kept insisting that I have put something on my face to achieve that effect until she touched my face. Even my own mother don't believe. On the car, she said what are those products in my cupboard for then? Most of them are simply white elephants. I simply too lazy to doll myself up. I told her that I only slapped some Olay whitening cream everyday last year for sunscreening purpose and have stopped ever since. There are still half tub of cream left. Maybe i really have turned fairer. If that's so, isn't Olay product wonderful i.e. longlasting?

I confess. I'm a nosy parker. I just told my mum that I spent ten minutes standing in the dark peeping at my neighbour next block yesterday midnight and guess what, i caught the guy resident kissing his supposedly girlfriend once. Satisfied that I 'caught something', i plonked down on my bed and slept soundly after. Yeek, I sound like some kapo spinister aka bian tai lao, no wonder my mum laughed.

I dreamt I was in school and it was the last day of my eduation there. The place is unfamiliar, but no matter which part of the building i was at, i saw the people whom i used to see in school from primary to uni level, even those i had never talked/befriended to. I felt a tinge of sadness. I woke up wanting to go back to those good old days.

I didn't send out any resumes today. I'm getting quite sick of it. So many mail send out everyday and yet not even a call except for this 68338958 which woke me and my mum up so early at 10am plus today. Arg, i rejected that call straightaway. Maybe in my resumes, i should include "Please call anytime after 1pm." somewhere on my contact.

I'm quite becoming a potato couch. I never got the privilege of getting to watch tv anything i want until now after i graduate. Oop it's not real reason why the remote control is finally under my charge. My little bro's whose 'workplace' happens to be in the living room, has just rotated shift i.e. he slept at 5pm and woke up only at midnight. That means he won't get distracted by shows while doing his work or rather, I can watch tv in peace. Nowaday, you can catch me moving my chair (our sofa was spoilt long time again due to that stupid bro. My living room is just a empty room with a tv) to the spot infront of my tv and i'll be sitting there catching my 7pm and 9pm episodes. Fancy me telling my friends that i was trained never to go after these drama series before. Sheesh. My mum's hard work has gone down the drain.

Nevertheless, i shall enjoy all these before I start to wake at 7am everyday.

I went jogging just now. Though it's just a 15 minute run and is barely half of my usual, I'm happy because I finally get my ass uprooted from spot before my laptop.

It's Mothers' Day today. And ever since few years back, we no longer make and decorate cards for our mum. I remember we three kids used to use greeting workshop to design and print out the well-meaning cartoons and greetings on some fancy paper bought from Popular. Every pic on it would have our own set of meaning and our mum next day would try to decipher what these mean. And we sort of have our own mini compeition of which card would be best liked by our mum.

Sadly now, we three now seem to become lazy bum. No card, no hugs, no talks. We all just waiting at our home for our dad to bring us out to have a hearty dinner....

Van Helsing is superb! It's one of those which you will feel the thrills of being on a roller coaster. I totally swoon over Jackman. How cool is that he alway plays the part of the wolf. (Yah, i like X-Men too) The fantasy action-packed movie gives alot of room for visual effects which make me a total sucker for such magical films. It probably started from LOTR series. Oh man I simply can't wait for Harry Potter which opens in coming June. But before that, I probably will catch Troy cos my sis will pester me for her idol - Orlando Bloom would be casting as the Prince of Paris in it. My wallet is getting thinner day by day. I have to get serious on getting a job!!!!

Anyway, the treatment of frogs at ang mo kio's wet market irks me so much that I cringe at the sight of the guy peeling off the entire skin in one stroke! It's only when he was about to use the scissor to cut the webbed feet, the deskinned frog struggled! That was too gross, too cruel! I never gonna eat another tian ji ever!!!

I seldom have the chance to play pool. My usual group of friends don't like to frequent such places. The previous time which is also my first, I played was with a huge bunch of people from my college and I never really strike the balls much. The cue either went wayward or hit backward when an unfortunate guy was standing behind. Plus, with so many people around, i think i only got hold of the cue twice. Today is my second try at the game. No self-humilating act. Pretty good, think I get hooked on it. And I glad bj has finally found a billard kakis. That's me. Anyway, we spent 2 hours to finish up 3 games. See how noobie we are.

Speaking of BJ, i got to bow to her frankness and gut. I think i have to address her as Boss. Take for example, while we were at the Party World @ Orchard, the bill totals up to be somehow unreasonably higher. BJ approached the servicing boy without hesitation when he came to knock on our door to collect payment. She was so gunho while arguing about the billing difference. The guy relented and charged us based on a cheaper plan. (Hush hush...I don't think I wanna go to that place with BJ again because I scared that guy might recognise her and leak some saliva into our drinks).

And that's still not it. We were walking outside the new OG@orchard while we decided to have a quick snack of pizza after seeing the $1.90 offer on some booth. Only then at the counter, we realised there's a small print indicating we must get a drink in order to have that offer. We checked out the beverages' price and "oh gosh", what i saw was all above $3. And guess what, BJ straightaway told the girl-behind-the-counter that 'it's not worth it' and 'we don't want drink anymore'. I was like 'OMG, that's what my mum will usually do!' Did she say something like 'bian ren'? (meaning: it's a bluff) I don't remember. (arg! my dory's memory again) Anyway, she somehow managed to get another counter guy to let us have the pizza at a lower price. Wow! Amazed. If she is my mum's daughter, my mum will definitely love her to bits. I simply love her guts. Should learn from her. That way, we consumers won't act like a baka and get bullied.

I have tried Softnyx's Magic Punk just now. What's a disappointment. It's a 2 players game and works abit like teris but with nicer graphic. I don't play such brick games often and i thought i would lose to my opponent. Surprisely I won. Somehow, I'm not going to play that again. GB still rules.

This is a new layout which I spent the whole noon on it. I like simple design with alot of white! I'm tired of finding another free host. Guess publishing on blogspot is a good alternative for a time being or maybe forever. Tagboard is no longer provided because so far those that I saw on the web are quite ugly. You may want to make do with the comment box instead (just click on the 'doodle')

Here's the lomosized sunrise which I caught after waking up at unheavenly hours. The bad thing is that the sun kept hiding behind the massive line of cloud.


morning @ east coast

Frens, do call me by the name of RENEE DIXON. That's my american name. Click on the name to find out why!

Getting really sick of pink. Now revamping the whole thing. Will most probably be using this url for quite some time until i got a decent job to pay for a decent space out there.
