btw i just found out the name of chelly's second dog - LOKI!

lol does it ring a bell? coz my dog's name is called 'OAKEY'!

haha what a coincidence. but i must say i was in deep shock when i found out. but i think it'd be fun if both our dogs ever meet. they'd sound like brothers! (btw chelly, is ur dog male? haha) and both of them have bright round eyes! lol

btw i walked into a guys toilet yesterday during lunch. i was quite stunned to see the uriners.. luckily there wasn't anyone though. haha otherwise i'd be so embarrassed!

k back to reality. and back to editing my report sadddddddddddddddddddddd.

just a year ago, it happened. and one year later, it's repeating itself all over again. nope it isn't a sense of deja vu, it's just that some things never change, and it doesn't seem like it will. we're all set on a particular direction and there isn't a u-turn, or perhaps we just prefer the convenient straight road ahead. inevitable but sad. can i just walk out? but i guess there's no need to anymore.

i think i need to be in a different room.

sigh.

Once again, I’m having one of those days when bad luck just keeps pouring on me.

1) i stepped out of my house today and slipped on my bum! yes after living in the house for 9 years, I actually slipped on my front porch! How embarrassing!

2) Yesterday I was looking at the back of my blazor and I realized that my office chair damaged my blazor! Sadddd. All the thread at the back came out and it’s un-wearable anymore!

3) and today I wore this new pair of shoes I bought from far east. And guess what! The strap broke!! And I had to resort to staplering it back. it’s the first time in a long long long long time since I bought a pair of shoes from far east and it just had to discredit that little bit of confidence I had in it. From now on, far east shoes are absolute no-nos! Kris, I finally understand how you feel when your shoes break. It’s such a ridiculous situation! But I’m lucky coz at least my shoes are still wearable. I think I’d give them to oakey to chew on them later haha, he’d be thrilled =)

4) then of course, my GPA dropped. Sian. Sian sian sian sian sian sian. Maybe I should go to aussie after all. See how.

I’m so sleepy now. My eyelids are so heavy. I think I should go home straight after work to avoid anymore bad luck. 2 more hours to knocking off! As weiwei has been saying the whole day, TGIF! lol

i think i need to clarify some things here. my internship is NOT SLACK. well i won't say it's hectic, but it's definitely not slack la. i realised that it's not that easy to do a statutory board analysis, especially since it's a NPO and we're kinda left to do it all by ourselves and each stat board is unique.halfway through, i realised that i was on the right direction, but on the wrong track. so i was kinda worried when everyone else was already analysing their balance sheet(weiwei has completed her report!!), and i'm still analysing the income portion of my income statement. the rest seemed to know what to do exactly, but ts and i were still wondering how we were going to explain our severe operating deficit. i could tell ts was really worried, he kept coming over to ask how to do haha. and he even fell sick!
oh and the stupid excel graphs were driving my nuts.

oh and yesterday i sounded like a complete spoilt brat in front of my boss. i felt so remorseful after that, and i still feel like an idiot now. my only consolation was that jason sounded quite spoilt too, but definitely nowhere near me sigh.

we ate lunch at the pantry yesterday and our boss came in and started chatting with us:
boss: so do u think smu or ntu is better?
me: ntu is not bad, just that it's really far
boss: so how do you go to school?
me: eh i started driving recently
boss: did u stay in hall?
me: eh yar. but i moved out coz i found it un-livable.

boss: so do u prefer smu or ntu?
jason: both are ok. but i'd rather go to ntu coz i can drive there. parking in smu is too expensive

yikessssssssssss. crap why didn't i think before i said those things!! i feel so stupid!

anyway met gan and zong for dinner last night. i realised gan has really improved on his financial knowledge! both of them were bombarding me with trading terms and i seemed so clueless. it looks like a steep learning curve ahead yikes! but at least i've learnt a bit of technical analysis this hols haha.
*********
i'm analysing National Environment Agency's financial statements and here is a sentence that i found quite amusing lol

"A foreigner once derided Singapore as a “little red dot”. Singapore cannot fundamentally change our size, but we can aspire to be a little green dot."

LOL. little green dot.

internship has started. and well. haha. yesterday was the first day and it was super tiring.

well we spent the whole morning standing around and waiting for our computers to be fixed. so the 5 of us (weiwei ap jason ts and i) just stood around and chatted for the whole morning and debated whether there was a pantry or was the pantry merely the tap that was located in the middle of nowhere. oh and after which, we were introduced to the whole office. lol. pauline brought us to each dept and made us repeat our names again and again. jason was quite funny coz he said we should have just held a piece of paper with our names and hold it up LOL.

so basically, most of the time, jason and ts would just come over and we'd start standing in our little circle and chatting away. ok today we were more productive coz we spent most of our time discussing which report topic to do. ts and weiwei are doing pensions and, ap and i are doing exchange rates. jason is bravely going to attempt swf all by himself! whoa i really think he's going to go nuts doing all that analysis and 'personal input'. he looked super stressed when he found out that we're all pairing up except him hahaha. good luck to him man.

bleh it's already day 3 and i'm still having a sore throat! =( i really need more vit c. oh and i was ecstatic this morning when i opened my fridge - GOLDEN KIWIS!!! i haven't eaten it for so long and it's finally in season again! yay!

i hope i recover soon. it's horrible to be ill. bleh.

oh but i'm really happy about my nail buffer purchase coz my nails are so shiny~ they actually sparkle! lol
*********
i can't believe this is happening to me. i'm sick -again- bleh i was sick last wed and i fell sick again yesterday!! and it's not as if i go out all the time, it must be the horrid weather. siannnnnnnn now i have to stay home the rest of the week and there are so many things i want to do! i haven't even watched xmen and i'm dying to! nvm the bright side is, i get to save money.

anyway i was glad i stayed out yesterday despite the chilling aircon and slight sore throat coz dinner was SO damn GOOD! we ate at this super cool british pub at vivo - the queen and mangosteen =)

Food: 8.5/10
Ambience: 7.5+1/10 (1 extra mark for the super nice toilet hehe)
Service: 8/10 (we stayed there for 1 hour before we ordered sth. and the waiters were nice enough to keep refilling our water haha)
Company: 10/10 lol

feli said she saw the place featured in the papers and i saw it featured in the magazine, so we decided to check it out to celebrate yl's and ls' super belated birthdays lol. well yar and despite my sorethroat, i still drank the cocktail that they're famous for - Pimm’s & Lemonade haha, it's not bad la. there were bits of cucumber and lemon skin floating on the drink, quite cool.

and the food was great! the dips were superb really. lol. and yar i really felt quite spirited even though i wasn't exactly in tip top condition haha. we were all commenting that we were all definitely going there again! ohh and the creme brulee is ahh~ to die for. at first i was quite cynical about all that cream, but after i tasted it, haha i changed my mind immediately and heck care with fatty cream. it tasted just like custard. oh and all of us learnt of a new fruit last night - gooseberry. i didn't try it, but br and ls said it tasted a little bitter and tasted a bit like a tomato lol.

oh and br and i each bought this super cool nail buffer! it was way more than i thought it would cost. guardian sells it for $1.95, so i thought the max it would be would be about $7-9. but anyway, it was super duper effective! i buffed all my nails at river island while waiting for feli and br to shop. haha yar i know it's embarrassing to buff my nails in public, but nvm la. the nail buffer is really good! even my sis was super excited when she saw it! she couldn't wait to use it too lol

well and tonight i can't meet glori chelly and kyna coz i'm barely audible. siannnn. and i can't play squash tmr!

anyone wants to watch xmen??
*********
ok this is embarrasing, but i have to blog about it as a follow up to my previous post.

after mobilising my whole family, including oakey(who wasn't much help since he was too engrossed in the salmon biscuits we baked for him lol), i finally found my laptop battery! well that's the good news.

the flip side is.. my mum realised that it was actually in my laptop all this while! well but i'm positively sure it wasn't in it when i brought my laptop to my grandma's house that day! it's so bizzare really.

anyway i was watching kangxi last night and the episode was on habits/obsessions that the artistes wanna get rid of. and i think i really need to quit shopping. every time i walk unsuspectingly into a shop, i always end up coming out with a new purchase. bad bad bad. did i mention that i'm heavily in deficit for this mth already?? and yes it's only the first day of the month!! i'm in dire state now. eh kris, if you read this, next fri can we please go to ur house? even better if we postpone coz i desperately need to spread out my expenses. next week is going to blow another hole in my wallet again.. i'm eyeing this top and this pair of wedges. yes i know i don't need them, but needs VS wants don't really apply to me anymore; i'm immune to it. shit.
