I Think I Slept Too Much!!!

It's 3.20am now and I'm still feeling wide awake!!!!!! Arrrrgh!!! So decided to blog... It must be bcoz I slept too much yesterday! Yesterday I woke up at 3plus in the afternoon... My whole body was aching and restless, couldn't even stand up for long!! And my throat felt sore!! I had to sit down while I was showering coz all my joints were aching and I could not stand up straight. I was so restless that after waking up to eat my lunch and surfed the net for awhile, I felt tired again. So I went back to sleep at around 5.30pm...

My mum then woke me up at 8pm to eat my dinner. However, I still felt very tired coz all my joints were aching like hell... So I laid in bed till about 9pm. I woke up and took my shower then had my dinner. Didn't have much appetite as well. After that I went back to rest on my bed again!! I suddenly remembered that I have a digital thermometer, decided to take my own temperature... Ahaa... 38.3 degrees celsius!! No wonder... So I was actually having a fever!

Ate 2 fever tablets and a sore throat tablet from my leftover medicines and went to bed early last night. I was afraid that I could not make it for my job interview today so decided to sleep early yesterday. I indeed felt very much better when I woke up this morning. However, I am still having a sore throat now!

Thinking back, I actually slept for almost 20hours yesterday!!! Hahaaa!!!

Went for the job interview just now, but I think I am not suitable for the job. Coz the position requires someone who can travel alone to very super long haul destinations like India, Egypt and Mauritius to explore and check out new places for visitors to visit... Sounds very fun and interesting I know!!! But I am not the type who is very daring and adventurous to travel alone. I am the timid type... so when I was being asked on whether I am more to the timid side or daring side... I said timid, which I believe would have minused many marks to my interview in the interviewer's mind.

Don't ask me why I applied for the job when I knew I have to travel for this position... Reason being I was hoping that this position will be for countries that I am more familiar with like Taiwan, Japan or say Australia coz these are the places I want to go... Who knows the position is for long exotic trips!!! Or rather countries which I have no interest in!

Especially India... Hahahaaa!! Heard from my brother that he dislike flying there coz of the bad hygiene there... something to do with their toilets!! I was asked by the interviewer what do I know about India and what is my impression of India, I told her that my brother told me that it's not very hygienic in India... So she asked how would I make myself like the place more since my impression of India is on the negative side, bcoz in order to come up with an itinerary for a tour package I must convince the frontline tour agents that the tour package is good and thus I myself must like the place!! Of coz my reply was to read up and do research on the country itself so as to learn more about their culture and stuffs like that... Well, I guessed the interviewer was satisfied with my reply then she asked if I like reading. And I just replied "Alright." and gave her a smile! Hahaaa... I cannot bring myself to say that I love reading coz in actual fact I HATE READING!!!!!!

So I think here goes another great discount to my interview points!! To sum up, I simply think I am not up for the position although I wish I am like everyone else! =(

Clubbing At St. James Power Station

Went to watch Mr Bean's Holiday with Deardear yesterday... I expected it to be a silly movie but it turned out not as funny as I thought it would be. It's also a one-man show similar to Borat! Don't think it is worth the money to watch it at the cinema. We should have watched TMNT instead... Probably it would have been better!

After the movie, we met up with Fang and Tammie at VivoCity and proceeded to St. James. I have never been there before so it's considered as my first time there. We entered thru The Boiler Room as the queue was shorter. We realized that there are alot of aunties and uncles clubbing at St. James, mostly at DragonFly and Bellini Room (swing and jazz room)!! We also saw a few SIM lecturemates while exploring the different club rooms... people like Charlene and Isabella! So we just said hi and bye!! Hahaa...

Later we made our way to DragonFly and joined my poly friends there... It's been quite awhile since the last time I met up with them! Sharon is still the same, always enjoying herself to the max while we are clubbing!! Anyway, yesterday was our first time dancing to mandarin songs! Hahaa!! Maybe it can be quite off for some people like Deardear and Tammie, especially when they make their chinese live band performances so 'ge-tai' style, but I think it's fine with me as long as I know the songs that they are singing! Too bad they did not perform any of Jolin's song, or I would probably have performed my Jolin's dancemoves!! Kekeke... Nah, just kidding!! =P

Besides DragonFly, we also went to Movida where their live band performs to those samba, cha-cha and brazilian songs!! Lots of ang mohs in there too!! And there's more interaction between the band and the clubbers, thus it's more fun and entertaining!

After that, we went back to The Boiler Room since our free housepour could only be redeemed from there. I think the music played in The Boiler Room are more hip-hop. There are more blacks, indians and malays in this room.

So we continued to club till 4am with Sulynn, Jeffrey and Michael. Then Fang, Dear and I went to Spize at River Valley for supper. Chit-chatted for awhile too... By the time Dear sent me home was about 6am already!

Catch Up Session With Ex-Colleague & Kelvin's 26th Birthday Dinner

Went KTV at Suntec KBox with Charmaine yesterday in the afternoon... We sang till our heart's content since we had the mics to ourselves!! Hahaaa!! Once again, held a personal Jolin concert although I tried my best not to select Jolin's songs continuously... I hope Charmaine wasn't bored by my singing. Hehee... But I realized the songs she selected were almost the same as those which I used to select when I went singing with Vanessa, which is a good thing...

However, it was also a eerie experience singing with Charmaine yesterday... Bcoz all of a sudden she started telling me some of the haunted stories regarding the office which I used to work in and others which were experienced by my ex-colleagues!!! When she was telling me about the office executive toilet which I used to go when working overnight shifts is actually haunted and that my ex-colleague was locked inside for no reason, it really sent shivers down my spine!!! Not to mention, she and I ever saw some "things" previously in our office and the toilet, but I always tell myself that I was only imagining things... At least I am glad that I am no longer working there now.

It actually freaked me out for a second after Charmaine finished singing the song "Zhi Mi Bu Hui" by Faye Wong... coz we heard a gal's voice singing the same song coming from the wall behide me... I guessed Charmaine had the same thought as me at that time! But of coz, I chose to believe that the singing was in fact coming from another KTV room that should be located either next to ours or behind us. Whether there's really such a KTV room with people there, I don't wanna know further!!! Hahaaa...

Ok, enough said about such topics!!! Moving on, I went to meet Eileen and Kelvin at Bugis after Charmaine left to meet her bf. Went to one of the manicurists at Bugis Village with Eileen for an express manicure since we were early... Hehee... And Kelvin went with us!!! Of coz he just sat there to wait for us... After Fang arrived, we then walked over to Liang Seah Street to have our dinner at Ma La Steamboat. It was a treat from Kelvin for his birthday!!


Soon, Tammie. Deardear and Mark Leong also arrived and joined us for the dinner... Deardear came from work... However, after dinner, the decision was to go back to Wine Network to chill... DUHHHH!!! Actually we wanted to go St. James, but the guys didn't want to... so we had to go to wine instead.

Thus, stayed there till late then went back... We shall go St. James on this coming Saturday then!

Say Goodbye To Nail Extensions...

My nail extensions started falling off few days ago... It started with both my thumb nails and then those on my middle fingers also fell off the next day. My hands looked so ugly without the complete set of extensions on. And my nails has turned yellowish and dull... they became very thin and brittle too!! Or probably bcoz I have already got used to the thickness of the acrylic extensions, so my real nails seem very thin to me now. Nonetheless, my real nails have grown longer!

The size of the 2 acrylic extensions which fell off from my 2 thumbs fitted well onto Deardear's index and middle fingers!! Ahahaaa!!

Ok anyway, I couldn't stand looking at my hands with the incomplete extensions, thus I went to one of the manicure shops at Bishan Junction 8 called Colour Zone on second level to remove the rest of my extensions today! Spent $21 to remove the extensions on the remaining 6 fingers ($3.50 per finger) and did an express french manicure for $23 ($12 for express manicure and additional $5 for french manicure).

I love the pinkish base for my french manicure. Unfortunately, I damaged the painting on my nails within the next 2 hours!!! =(

Coz after manicure, I went to Far East iNuovi for my eye-brow trimming appointment and after that I went shopping for clothings... so I scratched my nails while trying on a 3/4 pants... Sigh... Furthermore, the manicurist told me not to go shopping but I didn't listen... So served me right!! Hee... =P

Although I really like having long acrylic nails like Jolin, however I must say it is kinda troublesome bcoz they restrict me from doing some things normally and I have to be extra careful when using my hands... At least after removing the extensions, I feel so much better when washing my hair, typing on the keyboard, writing and scratching myself with my real nails coz I need not be so delicate or afraid that the nails will fall off!! Kekeke... Yeah! Now I can do more things!! And can once again eat prawns, crabs and chicken wings with my bare hands!!! What a relieve! No longer suffering from 'tai tai lazy syndrome'!! Hahaaa!!

Recently Watched Movies

Went to watch the movie '300' on last Saturday with Dear, Fang and Corinne... almost fell asleep before the war started... bloody and violent movie is definitely not my cup of tea!! I think war movies, be it if it was those like 'Black Hawk Down', 'Letters From Iwo Jima' or '300', they just simply put me to sleep... dunno why...

As for the movie '300', all I see is Spartan men with very chunky bodies but only 1 handsome guy whose head was chopped off (such a pity!!), many naked women, ugly creatures and lots of animated blood splashing everywhere!! It's amazed that after all the killing, the Spartans still look so clean on their bodies!!! Oh yah, the Ephialtes looked like the creature from 'Lord of the Ring', the one that always said "my precious..." but now the grown-up version in '300'. And the Persian king reminds me of Dhalsim from Street Fighter...

Not much to comment about the story of the movie coz it didn't leave much of an impression on me except for the fact that Spartans' spirit of fighting was to fight till the end eventhough they know they cannot win.

Think I still prefer love stories like 'Music and Lyrics' with a little comedy... It's another movie like 'Step Up' whereby a guy got to know a gal to collaborate on some stuff and then they fell in love with each other!!

Just watched the movie with Dear last night... Love both the songs sung by Hugh Grant in it - "Pop! Goes My Heart" and "Way Back Into Love"... Was almost fooled by the music video at the start of the movie, thinking that there was really a boyband named 'Pop!' in the 80s!! Hahaa!!

By the way, that gal named Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) who sung the song "Way Back Into Love" with Hugh Grant kinda reminds me of Jolin... though she seems eccentric and a little slutty in the movie, I think she's quite sweet-looking!!

As for how Hugh Grant gradually fell in love with Drew Barrymore, I shall not mention it here... Go catch the movie if you wana know...

But here's the fake music video from the 80s by 'Pop!'!!

And another music video by Go West singing "King of Wishful Thinking"... This has nothing to do with the movie, just that I think it has the same cheesy effect! Look at the way the singer is dancing... Ahahaa!!

Then, of coz not forgetting the love song which kept ringing in my head after the movie!

BBQ Session @ Sentosa Costa Sands...

Well, I just went to Eileen's chalet at Sentosa Costa Sands on last Friday. We first met up at VivoCity Giant to buy the necessary BBQ stuffs, then had our dinner at Thai Express. After that, Mark Leong drove us to the chalet.

We arrived at the chalet, realized that it was kinda small coz the beds aren't like those at Pasir Ris chalets... There's no pull-out mattresses below the beds. Thus, Mark Leong decided to go back leaving Fang, Deardear and I to stay over.

Had much difficulty falling asleep that night due the loud water flowing sound that was very disturbing... Also there were a group of Malays staying next door and they kept talking and shouting very loudly when it was already 3 or 4am!! So inconsiderate!! I tried to sleep but did not really sleep at all!!!!!!

Woke up on Saturday and decided to go to the beach for a tan. So we went to Palawan Koufu for breakfast then proceeded to the beach to suntan. Eileen then came and join us around 1pm... Soon it started to rain, so we left and went back to our chalet. While on our way back, it began to rain heavily. Even after everyone of us finished bathing, it was still raining! Wondered how we are to hold our BBQ in that sucky weather!! But we have got plan B as usual... Told Mark Leong to buy the aluminium tray so that we could BBQ indoor even if it rains!!

Soon, Eileen's colleagues came and so did the BBQ food that she ordered from EZB.com... But they went to check-in to their room first, leaving their BBQ food at the BBQ area. After some time, the rain also became smaller. Deardear started to set up the tables near our BBQ pit so that we could put our BBQ stuffs on it. He also set up a table for us to sit and we laid a table cover over so that we could easily clear up the mess on the table after the BBQ.

It's a pity that we did not take pictures during the BBQ bcoz I caught a cold and my nose was running like a tap!! Thus I didn't have the mood to walk around with my digital camera...

Anyway, Kelvin joined us later after 11pm and around 1plus, Choco, Grace, Bernard and Andrew also came... By then, there wasn't much charcoals and food left but still enough for them to BBQ. However, by the time Kevin arrived around 2plus... the fire was really small and we have ran out of charcoals. In fact I think there was no fire at all, just the heat from the burnt charcoals!!

After that, we cleared the place and went back to our room to gamble!! All the guys gambled except Kelvin who was the first to fell asleep!! They played till about 4 to 5am and then decided to leave... Since there was not enough space for all of us to stay over, Fang, Deardear and I also decided to go home.

We reached home around 5.30am... HOME SWEET HOME!!!

Earth-Shaking Moments!!!

Woke up today at around 11.30am to realize that my hp has automatically switched off by itself due to no batt... No wonder there wasn't any phone calls from job agencies or companies that woke me up from my sleep... Thus, I woke up to charge my hp and then lay back on my mattress to nua for awhile.

Suddenly I feel myself shaking from side to side while lying on my mattress, when I was not even moving!!! Heard some noise of metal swinging as well... I think it must be some earthquake happening in Indonesia again!!! I quickly looked at my alarm clock and saw that it was then 11.54am... The shake lasted for a few seconds then it stopped...

After the shaking stopped, I decided to wake up and not nua in bed anymore, just in case the earthquake happens again!! Hahaaa...

Soon after, my mum called me and asked if I am still sleeping... She then said her office building was shaking and that she and her colleagues all ran out of the building!!! (I was thinking if that was really necessary?? Kekeke!!) Then she asked if I felt the shake just now too... I told her yes and she told me to take my things and go downstairs if the shaking happens again!! Told her ok but I don't think I am gonna do it even if it happens again...

Ok, back to my job search... I am quite disappointed that the apparel company did not call me for a second interview as mentioned by the interviewer that they will call me either on last Friday or this Monday if I am shortlisted. Sianz!! Despite that they did not call me, I am still hoping that they will ring me up coz I really like that job, kept telling myself that they might need more time to make their decision, but in actual fact, I am just self-consoling... Errgh!!

Just when I was typing the last paragraph, I felt the earthquake again!!! Going a little giddy here!!! The second time happened at 1.54pm, exactly 2 hours after the first one... and it lasted slightly longer this time!! Should I really leave my house huh?? Kekeke... Of coz not.

Opportunity Cost - Beautiful Nails Or Getting A Job??

Just went back to my manicurist today, thought of removing my extensions coz my blink nails deem to be inappropriate for attending job interviews...

Actually, I have intended to remove them on last Friday but my manicurist wasn't free then and would only be opening her shop today. Thus, I could only wait till today and went ahead to attend 2 job interviews on Monday.

When I went to the first interview, the interviewer was a guy and furthermore it is a company in the beauty industry, so although my nails caught the attention of the interviewer, he was alright with it... However, when I went to the second one at an apparel company, the female interviewer actually commented that my long nails reveals that I am very gu niang, like "shio jia" (rich people's daughter who does not/cannot do work)... so she said that this made her wonder if I can do rough jobs such as carrying stocks etc.

I did try to explain my situation of not removing my nails and even told her that they were only for CNY, she kept telling me that she is fine with it, just that it made her wonder. She also suggested that I remove them before the second round of interview, just in case if I am shortlisted. (But she actually gave me the feeling that she does not want any explanation...)

Well well, I really like the job in the apparel company and hope that I could be selected for the post. Thus, decided to remove my extensions, hoping that they will call me soon for the second interview... But when I went to my manicurist's shop today, my manicurist and all the customers there kept praising that my nails were so nice and asked why do I want to remove them???... Everyone kept saying that was such a pity to remove the crystals, especially when all the crystals were still intact and none of them dropped off... So when I told them that I need to attend job interviews, my manicurist then suggested that I keep my extensions but she will refill the acrylic in-fills near my cuticles and trim my extensions to a shorter length for me. That costs $35.

Therefore, I kept my extensions and did not paint on any coloured nail polish... She said to keep them as plain french extensions at this length would be professional enough... However, I find the length not here not there leh, abit weird... I still prefer them to be longer.

Another disappointment is that they look so bare now... no colour and no design on them... Sad... =( But at least they are still slightly longer than my real nails!

Since my extensions are still on and may still look long to most people, I am worrying that the interviewer would not accept it and thus influence her decision in selecting me for the job during the 2nd interview.

Then again, I am not even shortlisted for the second interview yet, probably they might not even select me to go for the second interview... If this is really so, DAMN IT!!! I shouldn't even have trimmed my extensions in the first place!

In any case, since I have already trimmed them and removed my crystals, really hope that I will get the job!!! Please please please!!! I am anxiously waiting for their call right here!!! Ya right... it's 12.30am now, how could they possibly be calling me at this time huh??? Duhh... Actually I mean that I am looking forward to hearing from them soonest lah... The interviewer said that she will let me know if I am shortlisted either tomorrow or on next Monday, so wish me luck!!! =D
