It's well passed Christmas and it's Boxing Day today so HAPPY BOXING DAY EVERYBODY! If only Singapore recognises it as a holiday then it'll be just great, but too bad they just refuse to declare it a holiday, so i'm back here in the office slogging my guts out.

So yesterday, got a new bible for christmas from my mum. It's like AT LAST A NEW BIBLE! I've been using my current bible for almost 10 years already and it's quite big, bulky and heavy, so my mum got me a smaller hard cover bible which i suppose is lighter..lol. Then after that went to Tampines Mall for lunch at Din Tai Fung with my parents, my bro didn't go cuz he wanted to play computer (what an idiot!). Then after we walked around a bit then we went to watch The Curse of The Golden Flower. The movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't that fantastic either. At the end, all the princes died and the empress went insane and that left the Emperor. So it went like that - the 3rd prince killed the 1st prince cuz he wanted to be ascended to the throne, but the 1st prince was the emperor's favourite son, so the emperor beat the 3rd prince to death and the 2nd prince killed himself because he went against the emperor just because of the empress and in the end the empress went nuts and that left the emperor..lol. (I know it sounds kind of dumb) Then after went to starhub to see how much they're selling the handphones with the plans then went back.

I'm just planning to get a new handphone before Chinese New Year and my dad will transfer my account to my own name so i have to pay for it through my own account. It's been 2 years already since i got my current handphone and it's time for a change. So, if there's no new handphones coming out in next mth or February i'll just have to see what they have.

So i guess i have to get back to work before i'm being slaughtered for blogging.

I'm at work now and officially have nothing to do at this moment. My supervisor's gone took leave for 2 weeks, she'll only be back nxt yr and i'm stuck with this case which i'm slowly doing cuz if i finish it real quick then i'll have nothing to do til she comes back..lol. I don't have anything to do now cuz the files that i'm referring to are alternating between the auditor and me. She's doing the audit for the 1st yr and i'm doing the accounts for the 2nd yr, so if she takes the file then i'll have nothing to do and vice versa, so now the file is with her and i'm left with the bank statements, can't do much with em so i'm taking a short break til the nxt time she exchanges files with me again..lol.

So, took leave on Wednesday, thank God that the weather was good on Wednesday after a 3 days & 3 nights of rain. The weather quite nice in the morning and then it got hotter and hotter til i got sunburn..haha. Brought my bro to wild wild wet, then lunch at KFC and after that went to Escape Theme Park where i forced my bro to drive the go-kart which he so unwillingly went to ride it but he enjoyed it in the end. I got him to go cuz he'd reached the height limit so next time he can ride it by himself instead of me driving him around..lol. Then after that went around to play a little more then took a cab to cineleisure to catch a Night At The Musuem which was hilarious, luckily we booked the tickets in the morning cuz the cinema was packed and it was only the sneak preview, so can't imagine how the crowd will be when the movie officially opened yesterday. After the movie, met my dad and sis at Suntec Marche, then picked my mum up at novena and went home at 10pm all tired and burned up (as in i'm red all over..lol!)

So yesterday the christmas party was ok. I bought a watch which cost exactly $10 from the shop outside Orchard Emerald. The watches there are not bad, i like to buy watches from there cuz they're like expensive-looking cheap watches (i know it's cheap-skate..but who cares). Then guess who got my present yesterday? The big boss daughter!! I doubt the daughter will wear it cuz they're all so rich and the big boss wife is a super tai-tai leh, u think they will wear this type of watch ah? LOL! Then, i got 2 glass bottles/containers which i don't really have any use for it. The food was fine, big boss' wife made chicken pie which i found it so-so only, so all in all it was just ok only.

I can't wait for today to end and have a long weekend. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! but....i haven't really done any christmas shopping. Maybe i'll either do it after work today or tomorrow, who cares anyway. Anywayz ppl, Merry Christmas!

I've been like totally free for the last 45 min or so and i've no idea what to do..my supervisor said she's gonna give me a new case but how long more am i gonna wait? Nvm...that gives me time to blog and more You Tube video watching..lol.

So, went to Kukup in JB during the weekend, it wasn't as bad as i'd anticipated but there wasn't much also. Got lots of p****** D***, shan't state em down cuz who knows someone out there somewhere may be reading this and i'll be in dead shit but anywayz...abt 1/2 of em are kind of a bit problematic and don't really know if they'll work.

It's been raining since Sunday at 12+pm when i left the 'hotel-chalet' and through to at this very moment, although the rain did stop at some point. Btw, it's Tuesday already and i can't wait for today to end all for 1 reason...I'M ON LEAVE TOMORROW!! Gonna bring my bro out and i'm praying hard that it won't rain tomorrow cuz i'm bringing him to the theme parks and for a movie, then there'll be some christmas shopping, most probably in town or vivocity. There's a lot of presents to buy this year since i've got the $$. I've still no idea what to buy for the christmas party gift exchange on Thursday, so i'll just walk around tomorrow to see, it there's really nothing i can find then i'll just get some chocolates. So after my leave tomorrow, there'll be a christmas present exchange and a buffet lunch for everybody in the office and the strange thing is i heard that the food are all those chinese food...like come on...WHERE IS THE TURKEY? It sounds like their celebrating Chinese New Year instead of Christmas...hmm...strange ppl.

Aightz...i think i'll end here and there's 6 days to Christmas so i wish everybody a Merry Christmas in advance!

The week has almost ended, although it's not as fast as i wanted it to, but at least it's ending right..lol. So far it hasn't been the best week for me but who cares anyway since it's already Friday tomorrow.

So...let's see........i kind of twisted my left wrist on Monday and it still kind of hurt a little now, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning i suddenly had a calf cramp on my right leg (i have no idea why but it always seem to happen when i'm asleep) and it's my third time and it hurt for like 30sec before the muscle finally released its grip and i had terrible muscle ache the whole day long that i couldn't walk right but it kind of got better yesterday. And guess what today, Aunty Ros sent in her resignation today and she'll be working only til 5th Jan 2007! OMG....if she's gone then who am i gonna talk to when i'm working? There's only 1 other part-time colleague sitting nxt to me and she's quite boring to talk to and there's 1 perverted guy sitting at the end and i know everybody in this office don't like to talk to him and i just find him a little freaky and childish. Anyway who cares..hopefully another 6 months here then i'm gone already (provided i get in uni).

So many bad things that lasted through the week, but there's the good things that comes along also, like - I changed cases!! As in they gave me this company - INOFF PTE LTD which has to do with 2 bars and it's kind of messy and all and there's a whole 2 humongous bags of documents to key in and it's only gave it to me because they had nothing else to give me to do, but a new case came in and that company was smaller and the it was much neater and so i threw the INOFF case back to them and took the smaller company..lol. The best thing that's gonna happen is that i'll be going to Malaysia on Saturday but the bad things is that i need to wake up at 5.30am and it's gonna be for only 1 night, so wth..it's better than nothing right.

I think i'd better get back to work before someone finds out i'm blogging and it ain't gonna be good for me.

Now at work and no mood to start doing anything, so if someone catches me blogging somebody pls save me! lol..just kidding lah. Niwaez, nothing much happening around.

One of my colleagues came out with the plan of having a christmas party as in gift exchanging on the 22nd December, so she came up with a list and whoever wants to join wrote their names down. Since i've not celebrated christmas this way since sec 1 band christmas party in Siglap when Mr Samad was around, so i just wrote my name down. Gifts must be at least $10 excluding gift wrapper. I've no idea what to buy because i have no idea who will get my present, so the basic thing i have in mind is chocolates..lol.

On Saturday, went to compass point. I haven't been there for like almost 2 years already. Went there with my parents and my bro at arn 3.30pm for late lunch then walked around then dinner then went back around 9+. Yesterday was my grandpa's birthday so went to long beach to eat. The food was not in the range of food that i like but it didn't look bad and i think it wasn't bad too..lol. Although i didn't eat to my fill but it was ok. Then came the news that my cousin is gonna get married next year on May 19th and my grandma bombarded him with questions abt his future wife..lol...especially on the subject of swimming..wahaha. He was supposed to bring her down yesterday but she went to Bangkok so everybody was kind of disappointed.

So, i hope this week will pass real fast cuz i know the nxt few weeks are going to pass like super fast. This Sat and Sun i'm going to malaysia, i've no idea where but i know it's some place very much to the fishing thingy, but i'm praying that the hotel is good, not like those kampong kind of thing. It's only for 1 night, so wth...going is better than staying at home doing nothing. Then i took leave nxt Wed to bring my bro out to play, so it's like 2 days-Mon&Tues, then leave, 1 day-Thurs then there's the Christmas party on Friday, then it's 3 days weekend, then it's another 3 days work - Tues-Thurs, then Fri is payday, then another 4 days break into the new year, so i'm hopping this week pass faster so the nxt 3 weeks can party til i go crazy. Then aft that 3 weeks have passed, my birthday will be up next..woohoo!!

I think i've blogged long enough, it's like almost 9.40am now, supposed to start work at 9am..lol. So gotta start work before i get busted..cheerios!

I'm currently free of mugging...at least for the time being. I've been like mugging for SAT like forever..the whole 2 weeks i was mugging at work then after that came home to mug somemore...luckily my manager didn't know i was mugging at work if not i'd been dead, but my supervisor knew..lol. My supervisor actually gave me a free math tuition..but it didn't help much cuz i think i know more than her..she don't even know or maybe she forgot what an isosceles triangle is and she doesn't know the hypothenuse thingy..that 1 that's a^2=b^2+c^2 that kind of thing..i was like going omg!! i wonder how she teach her neighbour's children..wahaha!

So sat for the SAT test this morning. Woke up at 5.45am and left the house arn 6.45am and reached FTC at 7.45am sharp. Had another gruelling almost 5 hrs sitting for the paper..i feel that it was slightly better than the 1st time i took it but who knows..maybe i made lots of careless mistakes. After that, went to walk around Cold Storage at centrepoint and i still can't believe how much i still miss walking around centrepoint and i wouldn't hesitate to make a trip down in the future to hang around there for awhile. Met Helen at Coldstorage and as usual she was crapping around. Btw...FYI, Helen's not my friend, she's the cashier at coldstorage there. She kind of know me cuz i used to go to coldstorage to buy water almost everyday when i was studying at FTC so she kind of recognised me and she is still as crappy as ever..very nice & funny lady..lol. As usual walked to Heeren and around HMV, wanted to get some movies, but wasn't much in a spending mood, so didn't get any in the end.

Yesterday at work Auntie Ros was asking me which uni i wanted to go to..then i told her SMU and i'm considering NTU and maybe UNSW if my mum let. Then because i don't have a poly diploma, she kept saying that it's near impossible for me to apply for SMU and NTU and if my mum don't want me to register at UNSW it's no use applying there and registering at these universities are just a waste of time. Like come on, if i think i can use the CAT cert to apply for uni and think i'll stand a high chance of getting in then why am i mugging so hard for SAT? She and another colleague said i should continue on to take ACCA and forget about going to the uni, but if i wanted to take ACCA then why am i trying so hard to get my 1 yr practical exp now if i could have done it later after i pass my ACCA? It's like so what if there's a low chance that i'll get in to uni with just a CAT? Isn't it better than no chance at all if i don't register? They said if i cannot get into Poly what makes me think that i'll be able to get into the local uni and most ppl who're in SMU and NTU are 'A' students, especially those with single digits for 'O' level and she was like i can't even make it to poly and i'll surely loose out to them. I was gonna ask her to cut the crap, but didn't if not she'll start talking bad bout me..lol. So well, Auntie Hedy told my mum that she was kind of a bad influence, now i kind of know why, she's alot more of a pessimist than an optimist. If i registered and didn't get a place in the uni, at least i know i'd tried rather than i didn't get in because someone else told me that it's a waste of time and money to register. Anyway i think i've decided to try registering at UNSW cuz they've waived the registration fee for now, if not i've gotta pay A$50 just to register.

Coming to guitar, last Wed was the last practice and there'll be a break this month and continue on as individual in January. My mum didn't want me to continue so i guess i'll have to pay the fees myself. It's kind of crap cuz the fees were just raised from $68.25 to $84 like arn 2 mths ago and aft conversion to individual class the fees will rise again to $94.60 and the worse thing is GST is going up to 7% and so the price may just go up again either in Feb or Mar next year. I guess i still can afford to pay for guitar lessons myself so long as i'm working and earning my own money, but later on when i stop working, i may have a problem and may eventually quit altogether unless my mum's willing to pay because i told her that i was 3/4 on the way to finishing the course and i'm intending to finish it. I believe that after 6yrs and coming so far, i am going to finish what i've started and i'm not quitting unless i can't cope financially. So i guess i've gotta squeeze out every cent of my savings to pay for the guitar class cuz as my guitar teacher told me that day, if i've still got the passion for guitar, where there's a will, there is always a way to get through financially to continue on with class. So it's totally up to me whether to continue or not, and i guess i'll continue for a couple of mths to see if i'm able to cope or not then later on then we'll see how.

So i guess that's it, btw peeps, i'm thinking of pulling the tag down cuz no one's tagging except.....me. Maybe i'll try out another tag, but i'll try searching it through. Anyway, have a good time and happy holidays ppl!
