Just came back from the movies and it feels like I've not been to the movies like for years when it's only been like almost 3 mths. I went to watch D.O.A. and if it's not 1 kick-ass movie, i have no idea what it is. It's hilarious and big time action pack movie. There ain't lots of movie with a blend of comedy with hot ass-kicking actions like this nowadays. Now movies are like cheesy comedies or action movies gone too serious and this movie is 10 times more exciting and funny than street fighters..at least to me..lol.

Life ain't so bad these days and i'm getting my pay on Tuesday!! Yay!! And then, the SAT results will be released on Thursday, 1 week earlier and I'm gonna die. That means, if i don't do well, i can take the December exam instead of January cuz the deadline for Dec sitting is 7th Nov to i guess i've got 5 days to sign up again and i think that's kind of good thing.

Pay day is on Tuesday and the best of all is there'll be a buffet lunch outside the office from 1 of my ex-collegue who left last week, it's kind of a farewell lunch. I guess this will be the best so far because the other colleagues and interns that left they only bought chocs and candies for us, so yeah..this buffet treat was kind of nice of her.

So i'm off now for dinner before my mum starts screaming at me. Cheerios!

Things aren't so bad these days with 2 public holidays in a week, they should have another holiday on halloween then that'll be even better. So, today i was unwillingly forced to cut my hair, it's not very bad, but it's just too short for my liking, it's like shoulder length and it's been like 6 years since i'd shoulder length hair. Since sec sch til a couple of hours ago i'd always had hair at least 2 inches below my shoulder...aagghh..i'm just not gonna cut my hair until i end my working life with this current company i'm working for.

Something really funny, or not so funny to others, happened on thursday. When it was almost time to end work at around 5.30pm, there was a black out and everybody shrieked because they didn't save their work. Almost everyone panicked at my side of the office. It's because those colleagues working at my side there are auditors and a typist and they mainly use excel to do their work so it needs saving every now and then, but lucky for me i was doing accounting and was using the accounting software so every single transactions i make are saved and so i didn't really had a problem with the blackout but everybody else were kind of a bit panicky because they were afraid that their work won't be recovered..lol. Well...i guess they have themselves to blame for not saving once in awhile...i so bad right..wahaha!

So, i'll be getting my pay AGAIN next week. I feel like i've just received my last pay like last week or 2 weeks ago and it feels like it's so fast that i'll be getting my pay again. So yup...that's all i have to blog about for now.

I've got nothing to do now and so decided to come on to blog since i've no idea what else to go and see on the web. There's something strange happening to my blog and i've no idea what to do with it..it's like everytime when i come to see my blog, there's this prompt box that comes out to ask for user name and password to log on to the server and i have no idea what it is for and how to get rid of it..but anyway, it doesn't really bother my blog. So, if anybody have any idea what is it and how to get rid of it, just tell me.

Today is so hazy, not that the last 2 days aren't hazy, but today is the 3rd day in a row that is like so freaking hazy that i almost can't see a thing. Finally after 2 weeks of haze, it's finally got to me. I'm not sick or anything, but the problem is my throat. It's not sore or painful or what, but it feels like there's something stuck down there that i can't get rid of and it feels like i'm starting to loose my voice. It sounds like when i've got tons of pligm in my throat and i can't talk properly unless i pretend to cough real hard and it'll come clear for a couple of minutes.

Actually i do like it when i've nothing to do, then there's time to chill a bit. I can't wait for hari raya to come, it's not that i'm celebrating or anything, but i just want a day off from work. I don't even wanna think about the next public holiday because it'll be Christmas and it's so freaking long away and i'll have to work my ass off for like 2 mths before the nxt public holiday comes to allow me to chill.

Halloween's coming, and i've no idea why i like it so much. I used to celebrate halloween with my ex-neighbours, unfortunately they just moved out to migrate to Australia a couple of months ago. They used to celebrate halloween every year and they sometimes invite my bro and i and we'll get so much sweets to enjoy for a couple of days, then we'll go down to play with the sparkle thingy and it was kind of fun. Too bad Singapore don't celebrate it, pity the kids here.

I'm like super hungry now and there's like another 45min before lunch, i hope time will speed up and it'll be lunch time!! I guess i better end it here before my supervisor comes, not that she's mean or what, but then i think she prob wanna know what's my blog and come to read..lol..but...a bit pai sei if she reads it lah..lol.

Took the SAT exam this morning and it was horrible. I woke up at 6.15am, breakfast at 6.30am and went off at 6.50am. Reached FTC at 7.50am, took my attendance, went in to sit and waited. The paper was supposed to start at 8am but i have no idea what the hell were those 3 invigilators in front doing and in the end started at almost 8.30am.

There were 10 sections and i was apparently rushing through the paper. The maths sections weren't too bad but it was the english that killed me. Most of the sections were 7 of the sections were 25 min each, 2 sections were 20 min each and the last 1 was 10min. The english was just horrible, or should i said my english is horrible! Most of the vocab questions as in fill the blanks in the sentence with choices given and some of the passages were so long that i didn't have the time to read it all to answer the questions so i just read through the questions and look for the answer in the passage which was pathetically difficult because it's like sec sch like that, the answers cannot be found directly from the pessage, so kind of close my eye and pick an answer. I guess i've spent too much time worrying about the Maths section to worry about the English section, that's why the english section got me.

The really really bad thing was the paper was overall 5hrs long!! I set til my butt almost split into half. I'd been sitting since 7.50am and with the late start, the 2 5min breaks and the in between section's mini pause before we start the next section, totalling break time to around 30min, the paper was 3hrs 45min long so left at 1pm. It doesn't feel that long when u're rushing to finish all the questions, but when you come to think about it, 5hrs of sitting there waiting and rushing to finish the sections is pretty long.

I guess i'll wait for the results, which is released on 8th Nov, that's 1 day after the 2nd December's SAT sitting registration deadline, so i guess i've gotta wait til 27th Jan to retake if i do badly for this sitting which i feel that i did. I guess it's no point worrying about it now as i've already taken it.

After the paper decided to stay out a bit to chill. I've not been to that part of town for 5 long mths already and i can't believe how much i miss roaming around that area just after 1 yr of studying over there. Still remember that i'll always drop in at coldstorage to grab some water before going to class until all the cashiers there recognise me, then if it's a morning class, i'll always walk to heeren to get the Today newspaper and once in awhile drop in to HMV to browse the VCD & DVD section and then cross over to cineleisure for lunch and sometimes catch a movie by myself. So today was pretty much the same, after the paper went to coldstorage and they were selling all these halloween staff and huge pumpkins and it just reminded me that halloween is drawing near. So bought timeout choco and 2 small pumpkin candles. After that drop by heeren to check it out after the renovation. Went down to peep at The Village which replaced marche and looked around the new shops there. Walk passed this shop then saw this cute hang-on-the-wall deco and bought it, it was $18. There's this dog on it and it says "When 'Please' Doesn't Work....Beg!!" So gonna hang that on my wall with the other 2 that i bought in Australia.

After that went home, as usual changed train at Raffles then met Victor there and we took the train back to Pasir Ris. He was another unlucky chap that was pulled to the investment and course talk by Wanying and of course he didn't want to invest because it's a bit too much for his liking, in fact it's too much for all our liking because the investing amount is more than $1k and the course is around $1.2k and it's like how do ppl like us who don't earn much or in fact not even earning afford to come out with this sum of money when most of us don't even have $100 to spare? The worse thing is that what if the company isn't doing well, then won't we be at a disadvantage too? Honestly speaking, i'm doing accounts for other companies and i've already been through a couple of em and i know it's dumb to invest in something like that which may be successful at 1 point but not in the long term. If it's something like starhub or singtel it's still ok, not only do they have broadband but they have telephone services and cable tv which they can fall back on if one of the services they provide doesn't succeed. This is just a company that wants to make Singapore a wireless country and what can they fall back on if one day it's not as profitable? They will only have the money that the ppl invest in and the courses that they provide and i don't see it as profitable in the long run so what's the fuss all about in pestering us to invest and join courses which cost us a few thousand dollars which we obviously CANNOT afford.

So i guess that's it and I'm just gonna chill a bit more and looking forward to the next public holiday so that i can get a break from work..lol.

It's well past 9am and i've not started working and i've no idea why i'm in no mood to start work. Today is not just some typical Friday when it's the day of when everybody's like happily working off the last day of the week. I'm just in no mood today because i'm taking my SAT exam tomorrow and guess where is the venue...it's back at FTC at Starhub building. It's been like 5 long months since the last time i stepped in there for class. That's not the worse part...the worse part is that i've gotta reach there by 7.45am that means i gotta wake up at 6am! The most dreadful part is that the paper will be 3hrs 5 min long and there'll be short breaks after every hour..so the paper can easily last up to 3.5hrs to 4 hrs.

I'm actually quite nervous because i'm not fully prepared. Although it is Maths and English at secondary school standard, it's already like shit. All those who know, i've always scored E8 - F9 for maths since sec 2 and my best is only D7. For English, it's slightly different. It's not Singapore style english, it's American style english which is obviously a higher standard than Singapore. I'm good with correcting sentence structure, but when it comes to filling up the blanks of the passage with so many options of 'chimalogy' words, it's gonna be tough because i'm not good with chim words, especially if i don't understand what's the meaning. I'm just gonna kill myself. If i don't do well, i think i'll take again in December if this round's results are released before the registration deadline for December's sitting, if not no choice, gotta sit for January's sitting.

I hope i don't have a lot of things to do today so i can chiong study from the webby. I guess i've gotta quickly clear all my work so I got time to study and i'm just gonna skip lunch and chomp on some biscuits to maximise my study time. Gotta go back to work now before my manager walks pass and my head will be on the chopping board..lol.

I'm just so disappointed and filled with anger because of this person who is supposedly my sister. Since nobody comes to read my blog and maybe only the most 1 or 2 ppl will come in once in awhile, i'll just put everything down. You know when someone knows that something is not his and it is not offered to him or didn't ask permission if he could take it and just take it like that, it's no different from stealing right.

First she took Milo's birthday cake, which was almost 1/2 the cake and she woke up at 5am, went to the fridge took that whole big piece of cake and ate it without even asking me. That whole cake cost me $20 and half of it was like $10 and i bought the cake with the money that i've so painfully earned from work and she just takes it like that and it's almost half the cake you know, and she still can say it's just 1 small piece of cake. When i went to go and confront her, she was like the cake doesn't have your name stated on it right, so it's anybody's cake so what wrong do i have by eating the cake? And she didn't even say sorry and act like she's right to take somebody else's things and if it doesn't state their name, then if she takes it then it belongs to her. Then last night i bought some ice-cream and i made it clear that it's mine. Then at around 11pm i came out i saw 1 cone missing and i ask my sister, then she was like it's in the fridge anybody can take it so what right have you got to say it's yours when it doesn't have your name on it? And again she didn't say sorry and she wasn't sorry at all that she took my things without my permission and she treats everything of mine like it belongs to her and again i bought it with my own money you know. I was so mad that i wanted to give her a punch to knock some senses into her puny little head.

I've totally lost all respect for her already. Simply put, i have absolutely no respect for ppl whose pride is so high that they think that they are right ALL the time and they think that they are too good to say sorry to others when they are clearly in the wrong. It's just that ever since she went out with that jerk, she started acting like a bitch and she's just acting more and more bitchier and i keep losing respect for her until it reach this stage where i don't have any respect for her anymore. There are definitely ppl that i respect and she isn't on my list of ppl whom i respect anymore.

I guess there's no point me being mad at her because i believe she'll just have her own desserts one day. I'm just so thankful that i'm not like her and i don't have friends who are like her.

Since i'm a little early for work, so decided to come on to blog since it's been over a week since i last posted an entry. I have no idea why but i've not been feeling gd this past few days since Thurs night. I guess it was stomach flu on Friday but also kind of felt that i'd got fever & headache but the wierd thing was that i didn't have a fever and headace. Miraculously i was perfectly fine on Saturday and Sunday morning until i've got this wierd feeling in my tummy til now..so wth...i guess it'll be ok later. So, i guess it'll be a bad bad day today. I had no appetite for dinner last night and reluctantly forced a ham sandwich down my throat this morning and i have no idea if i'm up for lunch later.

So just forget bout all those wierd things that are happening, the good thing is that my mum came back from Beijing yesterday morning after 2 weeks but the bad thing is that i'll have to hear her nagging again. She bought lotsa DVDs and 20 botts of chewing gums. So who wants chewing gums pls pls pls tell me cause i can't finish em all by myself...i'll be dead if i finish em all..lol.

I guess i've gotta go back to work before my supervisor or manager walk pass and i'll be like soooo dead..
