November 20th, 2006 by amandachua

goodness ! just realised i havent been blogging for ages and ages ! MIA dunno how long..cus of work ! everyday 7pm-10pm at bugis there. "hello good evening, i’m calling on behalf of starhub..may i ask, are u a current subscriber to cable tv ?" oh and not to mention repeating this intro for 100+ phone calls each night, and enduring rude customers who simply hear the word "starhub" and slam the phone down right in your face or they’ll say "wrong number" then piak..gone. or old ahpeks, ah mahs who cant understd mandarin or english, i’ll simply just say "oh okay bu yong jing..bye bye" hahah lil kids are the most fun to hear..either they’ll talk nonsense with you, and u can just hang up on them..or they are so cute and polite, which makes u smile :D i thank you all for making my work experience so exciting !

work is boring ! imagine doing the same thing over and over again…nw i knw how impt it is to find a job u rlly like. so u can hv fun doing it. and aft working..i’ve realised how impt money is hard to earn..and now before i buy something, i will think..am i buying it on impulse or not. and how much of this is equivalent to how much of my pay. nahh i dont do that always, but it kinda made me think twice bout spending freely. this is what work has taught me. its a rlly good experience i think. and i’ve made new friends too !

caught the prestige with estee and xiu long ago (just had no time to blog) rlly a nice show ! the twist left us overwhelmed ! haha a good thinking show i must say :D nice catching up with them ! then sadly had to rush off for work.

caught the movie step up with shawn. the dancing was good ! hahah aft tht went to ben and jerry’s to listen to nigel and his band play some songs. then work.

recently sunday met up with beng with yb aft work, (keith supp to come !) for dinner and alot of retarded nonsense talking ! the funniest was whn we were in a cab..beng started talking nonsense to the cab driver and the cab driver i think abit mad also..starting talking nonsense and talking bout how the govt will find out and fine you if u nver take a cab in 5yrs ! what nonsense ! thn he talked bout him working in holland (ctry) at some restaurant kitchen…(this is hilarious)

beng : ohh uncle u work in the kitchen ah ? cooking chef ??
uncle : noo la..wash dishes one !
me yb : LOL burst out laughing behind. OMG!

go holland just to wash dishes ??? wahh and then he talked bout sgp so stressful tht everyone’s getting heart attack and all the sickness ! all blame on govt. RIGHTS… the cab experience was hilarious !

then met up with nigel hector wengkin in town for awhile, sat in macs for dessert. thn ard like 11plus i met up with ivan  (long lost friend !, nver seen him since 1st 3 mths !) for supper at gardens ! drank the humongous sugar cane juice ! hahah shiok ! chilled and talked, then home !

monday ! went for trg ! rahh super shagged from work / being out the whole day ! trg sucked ! thankfully met tracy for lunch at vivo ! thn went to pac coffee to chill ! haha had a fun time catching up with her ! we sat at pac coffee outside, the swing table ! read newsppers, talked…so fun to look at the sky, cable cars, and not to mention, me and tracy were looking at families with little kids having their family outing ! theres like 4 family outings there ! hahah tracy kept laughing at the lil girl drooling and said she was too hungry ! OMG. hahahha anyhow, this is the aft A levels life man.shes so free ! can ask her out anytime. went home took a short nap thn work. rahh at least work theres yb now ! she went for camp the past wk so i was like working alone. but lucky theres eugene ! hahah talk alot of nonsense with tht guy.

kk yb coming my hse now to do econs online lesson things. gtg ! blog in a long while ! haha

just watched SI repeat and this song is just so sweet ! just visited pam’s blog and she also posted this lyrics..as what pam says…this song makes you wonder where all the good guys have gone. haha. so true !

I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I’ll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

the things we do that amuses me …

wed morning met pam and swei early at holland to study ! feeling accomplished. thn had gp tuition later in the evening..OHH so funny. we were imagining ourselves being judges for some dance competition while the teacher was writing on the whiteboard cos she SERIOUSLY looks like a dancer hahaha. can totally picture her with a fan doing some cool chinese dance moves. really, me swei pam, just LOL while she was writing on the board ! haha and then we imagined ourselves as SI judges ! haha pam as flo, swei as jay, me as ken ! wahhaha hilarious ! we quoted some of their comments and simply just acted the way they did on tv !

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?

aft the movie, hung out awhile with them before heading off to chem tuition. ahh spoiler. oh wells, update another time.
next movie to catch : the devil wears prada.

i went to search the full quote of the quote above. this is the continuation.

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us — it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others

-Marianne Williamson
