life as it is

HELLO LONG FORSAKEN BLOG!

naiseee...last post was in july! woots! and why did i choose to update now i don't exactly know why too...maybe cuz zhan kinda reminded me why i haven't updated yet...

so anyway, work is same old, but year end bonus was a plus. managed to get a good present for the BF for xmas and am glad i did. shift work is tiring me out, especially the night shifts, in particular consecutive double nights...am gonna request to work single nights next time. my body cannot take the stress. a sign of old age? or a sign of poor health? *shrugs*

Christmas just flew pass and merry belated christmas to everyone (or anyone) who is reading this.

Xmas eve dinner was spent with the BF at District 10 Bistro (like actually not many people know where it is). damn hard to access cuz the path was like a one way street, so we made many detours and eventually had to ask a taxi driver for directions. was a buffet which was kinda alright but selection was few. BF loved the beef, while i liked the dessert...damn chocolatey! :)
Xmas dinner was spent with just a close bunch of BF's friends, having pizza and drinks and a pretty interesting card game to play with...

so, that's all for now folks. not gonna quit my job anytime yet definitely, and am trying my luck for a BTO flat. i want my house!!! but it's hot stuff man, damn difficult to even have the slightest chance of getting my hands on one. sigh...it's gotta wait man. or else to get a resale flat which means i need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.....

i shall try to update more often..hmm...... :)

restlessness

money matters are getting on me now that i realise i'm spending very much even without buying the unnecessary. i should start investing and growing my money already and not let the money stay stagnant. soon..plans are on the way with help from the trusted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i kind of hate it right now looking at pictures of baked goodies that friends post on fb, cuz it seriously causes an itch in my hands (or heart) to go trawl the web for recipes and bake some shit.

but no, it's not like back in adelaide where i have the urge/knowing of what to bake next, search for the recipe, try and try and try again. is it the weather? lifestyle? people? i really don't know..it's a mixture of everything i suppose.

is it because i am finding my life so boring, so mundane i wished i was doing something else to fill the gaps? but i am so lazy i find it hard to plan anything for myself. even seeing other couples post photos of the activities they had done like going to the mbs or universal studios or even to some big walk event makes me jealous.

or maybe i'm just getting a little emotional now. it's PMS time -- P for post.

updates from the tired pig

too comfortable with life now that i am not bothered to update regularly....

sidenote: jiaxin tang i hate you (temporarily). sweetness overload for ur bali trip cannn?? tsk.

am kinda liking the adrenaline rush that comes with the job. it is kinda thrilling when things get a little quiet..

and i need more $$$!!! or else, property prices pls dip for a while? stop being so sky high!

swine flu

the piggy is sick :( the swine got a flu.

i hate hate hate being sick. cuz then i'll feel so tired and sluggish to move or go anywhere.

but i got love sent to me, in a human form holding a bottle of herbal tea <3

:)))))))

a working adult

2nd week into my job in the blood bank and i'm already understanding how tiring it is, when you get home after work, u just feel like the energy's all zapped out...

or maybe i'm just unfit lah.

but yeah, it's no longer just a few studying hours in school every day. it's hardcore lab work. at least now i'm still new, advice from the rest is to enjoy it while i can. really dreading the waking up early part, and having to sleep early on sundays so i dont be like a superduper yawner at work.

well at least i feel i'm kinda liking what i'm doing now. i don't know how long more i can stay on...what the future holds...

it's difficult to find CNY clothes when...

....i don't make up/wear contact lenses/not skinny enough.

in attempt to deviate from the t-shirt & jeans (or shorts) combo, i stupidly went bugis on a sunday to try and look for new clothes.

the crowd was a total put off, and if we went to places with fewer people, the prices were higher.
and yes, so many sleeveless clothes....-_-"

so i think i kinda annoyed my bf-cum-personal-stylist with the "no sleeves, dowan. skirt too long, dowan. this one not my style, dowan".

and he thinks i should take some effort to make up, or put on contacts instead.
budden so mafan lah, still need to spend money buying makeup products, and buying the makeup remover. go back so tired already still must remove makeup. lazy pigs don't do such things.

bahhh! i wanna go do lasik!

GOAL!

yes!! i've got a job!

and the HR's response was damn fast. went for interview in the morning, and by noon while i was having my lunch back at home, in my comfy chair, in front of the computer, my hp rang.

a call of confirmation :D

wheeeeeeeeeee...happpppppeeeeeee!!

am gonna work as a med tech in a blood bank situated in a hospital, and i think it's a rather stressful environment. but well, i gotta try and gotta learn all the tricks of the trade. no job is easy right?

am gonna start work on the 17th, 4th day of CNY. wish me luck everyone. WOOTS!

piggy is officially un-jobless!

reject

emailed HR lady in the noon to ask about my job application status and the reply was

i wasn't selected.

:'(


one more interview to go. if this time no job for me, i can happily rot during CNY, then look for a job afterwards.

to be happy or to be sad? sigggghhhhh

another one

wheee!!! another interview coming up next week! at A-Star!

but problem is, what position did I apply for? T_T

quitter

i've decided to give up on the job. two negatives does not equate into a positive.

but just as i wanted to call back and tell the lady of my decision, there was no answer on the other side.

-_-"

i shall just wait...wait for a better tomorrow.... *lalalalalaaaaa*

accept or reject?

got a call for a lab tech job offer, which is of course a piece of good news.

but they are offering only $1.9k (gross). said its the max for my experience and education. and they are gonna put me in biochemistry dept. biochem..hm..not something i am really interested in.

no doubt am really thankful that they find me suitable for this job. however, what the manager repeatedly told me was really true, that "the pay is not very attractive".

"but you will get many opportunities to learn and train"

dilemma. accept, or not? will waiting get me something better?

back to reality

hello blog world!

have been away from my own blog for quite some time already. and as most of you should already know, i've already completed my degree (without honours of course) and currently being a slacker, eating and sleeping and absolute sedentary lifestyle. i am soooo gonna put on weight i tell you.

of course i don't just stick my ass around at home and not look for a job. so far, i've only went for one interview and i don't think it went so well cuz i have yet to get a reply from them. sigh...really like to be in a-star though.

(and as i was typing this blog, i killed a mosquito that flew past my face! WOOTS!)

tmr i'm going for another interview (finally another one), and hopefully i do get some luck for this. i really am bored staying at home already. i wanna worrk!
