Lazy Sunday [Sun, Nov. 1st, 2009|05:14 pm]
[I'm feeling.. |boredbored]
[I'm rockin' to.. |Bixby Canyon Bridge- Death Cab for Cutie]

Here I am, on a lazy Sunday, typing this entry in the evening, after swallowing half of a Spinelli sandwich and half of a ginger cookie. I wonder how am I supposed to eat dinner later with this (rather satisfied!) stomach. Oh, the cravings during this time of the month!

I'm terribly bored during the weekends. I should at least work on one weekend! Borders has yet to ring me up, I guess they decided they didn't want an extra pair of hands for now? Maybe I should try Kinokuniya...I hope the jobs which I selected are as flexible as Bakerzin. It sucks to be jobless, and knowing that I won't have any extra money rolling in the following month. I should quit spending on clothes and what's not. :\

The weather is taking it's toll on us. It'll be blistering hot this minute then raining the next. Oh yes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs is coming to town in January! I can't wait- I hope to find a YYY lover to join me!

And I hate being at home the whole day at times, because when I feel bored, I'll just stalk (should I use this term?) people on FB/blogs and later feel like crap because __________________. It's indescribable. I should appreciate my life more, I think.

Time to get my ass of the chair and start ironing some clothes!

Pillars of strength & wholesome fun
 
The much anticipated Nike 10km Human Race took place earlier this morning. Jogged all the way non-stop (except to drink 2 sips of water at the 'hydration point'). Took about 1 hour 15 minutes to complete- which is much better than I expected. I'm thoroughly elated and feel so satisfied with my self-determination and result- can't shake off this feeling till now! (: Just that my legs feel a bit wobbly when I walk down the stairs.

Anyway, I went out with Jasmine and Rachel yesterday. One word: AWESOME. [: Major gossiping is what girls do best, and obviously I'm always hungry for these scrumptious never-ending updates! More Friday outings to follow, please!

Come to think of it, I feel pretty "strange" for not working on a Saturday. When I went to visit my colleagues yesterday, I suddenly felt so empty and somehow sensed a lost connection between Bakerzin and I. Ahh, I never thought I'd miss this place this much. Oh well, I've just got to move on, right?

Cockroach [Wed, Oct. 21st, 2009|12:05 am]
There's a flying cockroach in my bedroom- so unexpected. Damn, I tried to catch that thing for about 15 minutes, but it scurried away. I know it's still in my room- shall find somewhere else to sleep tonight!

20 months [Sat, Oct. 17th, 2009|01:47 am]
...And so my journey at Bakerzin ended just now. I had to leave, because the condition of my hands is unbearable. I cried instantly when Eik told me, "Jody, 不要哭啊!" I'll miss practically everyone, especially Fiona, Glynnis, Mabel, Wai, Bee, Kang and Eik. Ahh, the torture of missing people whom are close to you! And I'll miss working and my regular customers. And making drinks and having fun joking around whilst working. Bakerzin was just like my 2nd home, and a place of "solace" when I needed to do something to distract me. Suddenly, it seems to me that resigning just came all too soon.

Bakerzin is where I learnt customer service, to think before I speak, to (try) to be politically correct and to choose the right words. It's the place where I grew, mentally, physically and emotionally for the past 20 months. It's the place where I found fun-loving and awesome friends.

I can't bear to leave, but I know I must for the sake of my hands. I'm starting to miss them terribly now ):

[I'm rockin' to.. |Poster Of A Girl- Metric]

I've been working and spending lots of money these few weeks. Just realised I injected $1000 of my hard-earned money into driving (though I can only start my practical lessons in December since the slots for October and November are filled. Damn!) and I want to pass by end of February. Motivation, please! And I spent quite a major sum on good food and transport. And to think I'm still yearning to purchase an iPOD Nano + new DSLR + new lenses...Oh the pains of spending!

Honestly, I'm not the least bit excited about returning to school (as usual), I'm unable to fathom why.

That aside, the condition of my (poor) hands is worsening. It's painful when it cracks, the skin just peels off. My right hand looks wrinkled and red. Mom told me to quit my job, since it's the main cause of my hand condition, but I can't bear to. 1 year and 7+ months at Bakerzin has been a long time, and I've made quite a number of great, fun-loving friends there. "For the sake of your hands, you must", that's what Mom constantly carps. Now I'm considering whether to discontinue my "relationship" with Bakerzin..It's like my 2nd family!

Even if I quit, we'll still keep in contact, right?

One after another [Thu, Sep. 24th, 2009|01:37 am]
[I'm feeling.. |distresseddistressed]

Before 2009 started, I experienced things which I never thought will turn out the way it is now. Sometimes, I just want to sleep and never wake up, because reality is so brutal, so selfish, and so unforgiving. I realised that I often unconsciously distract myself by going out or working, or just abandoning those thoughts and carry on with life. Occasionally, I feel that I'm living in self-denial, feigning that my life is already perfect, because of the unconditional love that I've been receiving from my Dad & Mom, my fun-loving friends and jovial colleagues.

But I sense something is missing; it's an intuition of indescribable loneliness and worthlessness. Feeling loved doesn't mean everything, because love is such a profound term. If there's an explanation and rules for love, everyone will be equal, won't it? Or, not?

Was it because of the honest mistake I made for a couple of months? Or was it because of my ignorance and pretence of those underlying fabrication? Or was it due to my selfishness and weakness? Did these all lead to what it is today? I ask myself, "Is 'regret' the expression I should manipulate, owing to the fact that it's too late for any?"


*breathes deeply*


All's been done. Two choices: Step forward OR wait.

Recount

I'm so glad to be 18 now, cause one thing's for sure..I can sign up for driving! Already enrolled for Basic Theory today after attachment, with help from Theron. Honestly, I can be quite a goon when it comes to signing up to these kind of stuff. Went to meet Weijin, together with Kenneth thereafter at a nearby coffee shop. Been so long since I saw both of them; chatted and laughed a lot. Walked back to T's void deck and he drove Wj and I home! Handsome car and swift driving, I must admit. :D I'm so motivated to work hard and pass driving! *crosses fingers*  Can't wait for theory practice this Saturday before work..and my BTT is on 2nd October! I'd better do well!

Anyway, speaking of turning 18, I spent the 3rd of September having attachment from 7am till 3pm. Jasmine bought for me Delifrance's brownies during our break (she planned to surprise me with a cake that morning but she overslept! Haha. It was the thought that counts, and she said that there must be cakes on birthdays, so thank you <3).  Headed to Suntec's Oosters in the evening to have a meal with my cousin and brother, moving on to Marvellous Cream to have delicious ice-cream. Wasn't anything special- just dinner. Went out with Jazreel the following evening. Made a beeline for Cedele at Wheelock- good meals with fantastic desserts which came down with a hefty price of $30 each, but all worth it, thanks to the sweet treats! [: Yum yum. Will be back for more! Walked around Ion for a while after dinner, took tons of photos and mom sent us home around 11.15pm.

I miss tons of people now, especially those who I've never seen for such a long time. All I hope is for attachment to end soon so I can start earning more money, focus on driving, exercising more and catching up with friends. I've got to work hard for so many things: Driving, new camera, a _______ bag, more shoes, more clothes.. If only money were to fall from the sky *dreams* Me and my childish thinking, ha!

Oh great, I kind of regret eating that Almond Magnum. I unable to sleep without guilt now!

Setbacks. [Sun, Aug. 16th, 2009|12:39 am]

We know, the truth mortifies us. Accepting it, getting over it, is a partial reason to feel less bitter. Find paths to ameliorate the situation.


Have heart, we're bound to be afraid.

Counting the years..

These few weeks had been pretty hectic. Rushing through presentations last minute (4 presentations in a week!), re-tests (thanks to failing them), and practical test which I had today (I passed! Yay!). And my temper was pretty bad during the past weeks, guess it's due to the stacks of unfinished work, almost-sleepless nights and my shit face outbreak. ]: Luckily I've got my lovers (Jasmine & Rachel) to complain to when I'm feeling all screwed up. (: I reckon the worst has yet to come; exams starts -gasp- next Friday!! Holy macaroni, I've got to get my ass moving and start revision this very moment.

Mom agreed to get for me the EOS 500D..But I suppose I should contribute some money for the camera. *inserts holy face* Anyway, my 18th is coming up, and I absolutely have no clue how to celebrate it (other than spending half the day having attachment). Maybe I won't even have any celebration at all, since it falls on a Thursday. Moreover, it's not anything THAT big, since my birthdays every year is just the same, just going out to eat, and that's that. Not that I'm whining or want sympathy, but it's just how it is!

That aside..On the previous Sunday, Kit, Faith and I surprised Yeun with a cake and present! It's our routine to meet up on our birthdays every year, and since none of us could really accomodate to the time Yeun proposed to meet up for dinner, Kit planned to surprise her. It went well, despite the candle which kept fading. HAHA. And the best thing was seeing Yeun shocked yet touched that we've prepared all these for her. Yay [:

Alrighty, time to hit a few pages!
