slack week

this 4 day week was super slack. 1 cca prac, no pe, no friday. wow. if only every week was like this.
thurs.
went to get the free movie tic with yili at the library. amazingly i gt it at my 1st try w/o the help of the auntie. hoho. and i think its so cool, cos u can use it at any timeslot, any day.
after school we were suppose to mug in the library while waiting for others, but some1 just sparked the idea of going minghan house and we went his house for mahjong. lol. it was tiring walking with him cos he kept tricking us leading to the wrong direction to his house. haiyo. after only 3 rounds we went to plaza sing to meet others. and clarice, minghan, joson each won a round, except me. so noob! nvm expected.

a lot of co ppl went, a total was 14 for the movie. wow!
caught horton and it was so dumb, which made it funny though. haha. and when the elephant was snoring the whole cinema was quiet except sijia and clarice laughing. so crazy. haha. fri.

was supposed to go kbox to sing, but we found that partworld had a special promo and since its so near our home, me and sis decided to go. i called partworld in the morning to confirm the package and she said yes. and yup we went down in the afternoon but the person told us fully booked and we had to wait for 2+ more hour cos we didnt book. but we cant since we had to go to uncle's house in the evening. partyworld is like so not customer-oriented can. that lady should have asked if we wanted to reserve when i called since its obviously a public holiday. so boooo, we went home to do work and postponed it to sat.

sat.

finally the long awaited singing session with sis. we went quite early after having mac breakfast with the rest of the family. this is when the very-not-customer-oriented manager comes in again. we asked which package was more worthwhile for us and she recommended the early bird 1. but when the bill comes we realised that we could sing for 1 more hour for only like $3 more if we took the other package. wth.

but nvm we sang to our hearts content. made full use of the money by singing lotsa songs and finishing all the tidbits at before leaving. hoho. singing with sis is good cos she can endure hearing me not hitting the high and low keys. lol. its too paiseh infront of others cos my singing totally cmi =x and sis is super noob! cant sing the new songs cos she claims she cant listen to the radio in hall. even if she say she knows the song, she will end up singing wrongly! so funny!

and as usual....


i sang wo nan guo!!!! to xx shanly and danhong, this is our fav sing aloud song. haha!

at night shufen came over to my house to prepare xiangling's present. though we ended up crapping and watching tv most of the time. the abandoned pic for xl's prez. but i still think its quite nice! the end product of a long and short hand!! LOL.

sun.

this morning went to the cemetry to sao3 mu4. is it called tomb-sweeping? abit direct translate. tell me if i know wat the term shud be. haha. woke up pretty early but abt the same time, or abit earlier than normal school day la. so not very tired now but the rest of my family are snoringgg.. haha. will go do some work before going swiss co concert tonight =)

somehow, the feel is so different to attend the 1st swiss co concert aft we graduated. looking forward! =D

end of holidays

today is the last day of the 1 week break. and i m glad to say, i had a great 1 week!!! the whole week was filled with challenges, fun, satisfation etc etc. let's see wat i accomplished.......

#challenged myself with the bio survey work. finally got a taste of how hard it is like to be out there earning money. and lady luck wouldn't always be by my side, cos out of the 2 days, 1 was smooth sailing while the other was super hard to get by. it's quite scary to go around a totally unfamiliar place knocking on doors of u-don't-know-who all by urself. wat if the door opens and u see sth u shouldnt?? alright so that made me more dependant i guess. and through the surveys i learnt how to face others, start a conversation so that they will not get too bored by the overly long and repetitive survey. met and interact with ppl from all walks of life. for all that, and my hard earned money, three cheers for shangfei =))

#took part in some planning and co camp. after all the preparations we had the actual camp. i think the most fun thing was night trail with joson audrey and duqian. we kept running in and out of the toilet. scaring ppl was fun, though they find me funny too. haha. in fact i overcome my fear of being alone in a super dark corridor waiting for others to come while the 3 of them were in the toilet. thats quite cool too. i thot i would nv be able to do that. overall i had fun, though i still did not interact with a lot of ppl i duno. haha nvm kai xin jiu hao.

#did my homework. right not much revision was done but i did wat i wanted to do. sis was back this whole weekend so she could teach me some chem also. it had beena long time since we stayed up late till midnight 3am tgt to do work. though she was playing viwawa la =x

#relaxed. sounds weird? but since the start of the yr i had been busy for i dont know wat. like there is always sth packed up tml so each day was so tensed up. finally this week gave me a chance to catch a breath. like its ok if i dun complete the work today cos i have tml. haha that sounds like i m procrastinating but at least i did wat i want to do at a more relax mode. and visited youtube and other channels online which i hadn't went to for a loooong time. yay!

#spent quality time with my family. so now i have morning and afternoon to do my work, night was always spent watching tv with my family and online-ing. yes we watching some hk serials on tudou tgt cos it was too tiring waiting till tml for the final epi. so every1 squeezed infront of the com screen. lol. that was fun.

i was surprised by how i spent the 1 week. cant imagine i managed to do so many things. yes lets hope i m refreshed and ready for more work when school reopens tml.

but of cos, good friday is still sth to look forward to =)

10 Reasons You’re Not Getting Your Work Done
1. You have too many distractions.
2. You don't have the resources you need.
3. You don't know what you’re doing.
4. You have too much work.
5. You have poor time-management skills.
6. You’re procrastinating.
7. You feel undervalued.
8. Your priorities keep changing.
9. You’re burned out.
10. Your “reward” for completing the job will be more work.

oh my, i saw this list on msn.. and i realised all the points suits me!! i guess thats the reason y my progress is so slow..

TIME TO FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS, SHANGFEI, GET DOWN TO SERIOUS WORK!!!!!

the past 3 days

warning: super duper long entry

actual action for the camp actually started on sunday when we went to recce the amazing race places.. the whole thing was in dhoby gaut and bugis area.. so we started in bugis and mr ng joined us, cos he was living just nearby.. it was really like a teacher-student outing, cos mr ng was much more familiar with the places and took us around..

i woke up super early, judging that it was a sunday.. but as usual many ppl were late and we met mr ng who just woke up at the traffic junction in bugis.. he called and said he can see us from afar, wah like some stalker, but he was just across the streets la! haha..

so we went sim lim, den to la selle.. we actually tried to carry out the activities they were supposed to do.. when we went to laselle, the rest were sitting around some well thing which looked like a wishing well while mr ng and duqian went to find their way to the 3rd level bridge.. i took out a coin and wanted to make a wish for the camp, but the water stopped turning immediately!! omg we were so scared it was some bad omen.. but erm lucky nth too bad happened, i suppose.. the best stop was the dou hua store i think.. the dou hua was very very nice!! mr ng treated us to you tiao!! wah look at wat he treated us.. actually mr ng is a very funny and nice teacher!! haha thats wat we found out from the camp =)

our last stop was at plaza sing where we bought some stuffs for the camp.. and i agree with audrey that mr ng looked like a father buying things with his children.. lol.. she was quite bothered abt the ecp thing for quite a long time.. in the end both of us didnt go anw.. but nvm s24 outing this fri =D

went to work in the afternoon... i think i used up all my good luck on saturday, cos i was super unlucky.. got lost in that area for 2hrs.. u know those private properties had hidden alleys we cant see so i didnt know where i was.. and it kept raining and stopping.. called my sis's bf to check out my position cos he lived nearby.. and i was in fact verrrrrrrry far from where i was supposed to be.. so he came to pick me up and drove me there!!! omg that was so good of him..

it started off bad.. that hdb flat was so dilapidated and stinky.. many ppl moved away le so i didnt get to survey anyone there.. went off to the landed property area.. was rejected again and again, about more den 10 units until i meet a nice old lady who invited me to her house..

#1 a nice old lady with her cat

was quite reluctant to go into her house at first cos she had a fat cat but since the cat was sleeping on the chair i plucked my courage, for the sake of the $15.. went in and she even introduced her daughter.. surveyed her quite smoothly and she directed me to the next household i had to go..

#2 an uncle gardening

the household i had to go had a big black dog barking at the gate.. so i didnt even dare to go near the house... saw an uncle gardening outside in the house nearby and went to ask him.. he agreed readily!! we were sitting outside at first but since it started drizzling again he invited me to his house.. his wife was at home, of cos..

#3,4 a humorous couple

1 of the alley i went to only had 12 units but all had dogs..and after 1 came out to bark, all came out and soon, all the dogs were barking at me.. crazy.. so i skipped the whole place.. was too traumatised.. the mext place assigned was 2 bus stops away.. so i called dad they all to come fetch me already as i was very tired though i did for less than 3 hours.. cos i was drenched and dry again and again.. feeling sick.. but still went to the area assigned and met this indian couple who agreed to do the survey... they invited me to their garden and we sort of had a chat there.. the husband was very humorous though he was 80+.. after the survey they declined the voucher and wanted me to go buy a drink with the the $10, since they cant buy much with that.. of cos i didnt la..

ya and so went home without going ecp.. did some packing and continued doing qm stuffs, since shihao was not going i had to make everything prepared so that they can do the stock take for each individual section..

woke up very early again since exco had to reach earlier.. but as usual, many were late again.. went to walk the night trail route and soon the camp started..

ice breaking games turned out not so cold.. think becos of duqian.. the 3facts wasnt so cold as i thot it would.. reverse whacko was quite exciting and i had to whack ppl thanks to audrey.. haha no la quite alot ppl had to go out to whack ppl.. lol.. the elop was best.. it was beside ____.. ok i think evey1 knows so i shall not elaborate... yipeng and shenyang tried to help me by cutting me and joson but we wre stupid enough to run super fast and end up at the same place.. i wanted to slap myself.. but soon PY was called out la.. and every1 ganged up to run away from him.. haha super funny..

after lunch had stock take.. was the only qm around but lucky xyz and cello/bass did a great job with the help of their sl.. plucking ppl helped with all the instru for me too!! as for woodwinds, only elvin chua was around but that didi was very cute.. kept playing with fire and the way he talks also very funny.. he helped me relabel everything cos i know nth about woodwinds while i stock take the percusion instru.. alright i had to come up with the list later, lucky i did some before the camp..

den was prac.. new song yao zu wu qu.. lucky uncle chua came back!! or i would have died in the song alone.. lol.. need to prac more le..

hardly ate anything and went to prepare for night trail.. me and joson was supposed to be at tc block playing the cha and ling.. i was a coward when i walked from the co room there cos it was dark and every noise joson made make me scream.. but the whole block was so lighted up!! cos if switch off need to switch of the whole bloack den GO dun allow.. lucky toilets can off the light.. since tos not scary me and joson went over to duqian side.. she was very very very scary la!! her make up and hair and everything.. i got a totally shock la.. but ya, like wat she said, its still duqian wat!! so i wasnt that scared after that.. i could still stand outside alone helping them to keep a look out when the groups are coming and play the cha to inform them, though the whole corridor was completely dark.. i was supposed to scare the ppl by suddenly playing the cha but danhong's group ended up laughin.. even ade and uncle chua also =(( only the last goup screamed when i played, i think is cos they watched the whole shutter movie so already edgy.. it was chaotic in the toilet with all the splashing of water and the whole pace was wet.. haha..

after everything we had exco meeting at the IS lab.. watched alot of videos... was very sleepy already but the japan trip 1 indeed made me motivated to persuade mum to let me go for the exchange trip.. the thing ended at 1am plus and went to bathe... after that found out that the co room keys in my pocket was missing!! yipeng joycelyn shenyang accompanied me to walk the night trail route but couldn find!! in the end i only realised its in the pocket the next morning! haiz.. think i was too tired.. so that night i didnt do anything except looking for the keys.. read from danhong blog tt most ppl were at the canteen playing.. think they had fun.. haiz.. nvm at least the rest had fun though i didnt =/

day 2 was a complete eating day.. i woke up and ate 3 slices of bread.. think cos i didnt had much dinner the night before.. den kope sihui and euods de tuna biscuit.. set off for amazing race.. my goup had sihui euods xx danhong!! lol all zi ji ren.. and 1 more person la, i shall not comment.. didnt get to complete all the stations cos it was raining very heavily but nvm la, we passed by the places before.. sad to say, we were the last group.. lol.. during the race i ate dou hua, crispy chicken, came back ate bread again.. hoho.. stoned outside the co room while waiting for the rest.. watch the same videos again with the rest of the ppl.. prize presentation and home sweet home.. prac was cancelled cos mr ng could tell every1 was super tired.. of cos la, i think every1 hardly slept the night before..

went for dinner at poolside cos i was still early and went home..

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

pls catch mas selamat soon!!! haiyo yst's journey home on 961 hit a record of 1h 45min.. cos the jam of the lorries started even before bukit panjang.. if the newspaper wrote correctly that the jam was 10km last week, i bet it is abt 18km yst... super long.. and the lorries were hardly moving!! omg how long is this going to last?????

alright half of the holiday is gone, time to sit down and do some work.. dun think i going to continue the bio thing, since i went to all my addresses le.. work is piling up and i better get them done before school reopens!! =)

earning hard money

today was the 1st day i did that bio survey job.. 1 of the last days too =) i would say everything turned out very well.. so much better than i expected.. and its interesting how different ppl of different living environment react so differently at the same qn..

woke up early in the morning and received the addresses.. did a research on streetdirectory to find out which bus go where.. soon i was on my way to tampines, reaching less than 1 hr later.. was amazed that the bus was so fast..

#1 a good uncle
abit disappointed when the house assigned to me did not have any1 above 50yrs old... moved a few households and came over to this.. the wife was cooking lunch so the uncle replied my qn ( which was great cos i saved 3 and a half pg of qn =x) didnt ask his wife since they were having lunch alr..

#2 an old ah ma who once had stroke
her house was just next door the 1 i was assigned to.. i didnt know she had a stroke until she told me when i sat down.. but i think her walking posture was quite weird, so i went into her house cos i can tell its hard for her to stand for too long.. i think she just wanted some1 to chat with her.. but she met me, who kept toking abt cancer =x

#3 an indian lady going chalet with her kids 1hr later
the auntie invited me to her house even before i could tell her there would be free voucher.. she had 4 children i think, who were playing very noisily.. but her enthusiasm wore off when she knew the questionaire was soooo long.. haha..

#4 a lonely old lady
the whole block was masionettes and my assigned house was on second floor.. so i went 1 door by 1 door until i saw this super handsome guy on the 4th floor!! he was playing the guitar and omg was sooo nice.. the way he told me there were no1 above 50 yrs old in his house was very funny too!! such a pity.. so i continued knocking until the 6th floor, where an old lady was at home.. she kindly invited me to her house so i finally could let my legs rest..

went on to the next assigned house which was a condo.. the security didn let me in but kindly telecom-ed the resident i was assigned to and a few houses beside, but was rejected.. so no choice cannot continue cos he dun want to disturb the residents.. transferred bus from tampines to joo chiat.. was really afraid cos all the houses assigned to me were landed property..

#5 a sick lady, too young for her age
the place assigned to me was in an apartment but there were no security and no signs that say 'no trespassing'.. so i just went in.. but that house de auntie wanted me to speak in canto which i cant with my limited vocab in that dialect!! so i went to start from the 1st floor, where the lady (looked really like ruby ng) rejected me.. went all the way up to 4th floor(highest level) but was rejected again.. so went back down and she invited me to her little balcony to do the survey.. cos she thot no1 would help me do so she changed her mind and helped me, despite having a cold.. wow!

#6 another good uncle
that row of landed property is weird, cos the space infront is soooooo long.. the owners always peep their heads out of the door and expect me to shout across the loooooooong area.. kept moving right until this uncle kindly helped me with the survey..

#7 yet another good uncle who had masters' degree
my legs were already breaking apart.. cos i went to find the house assigned, which was at the end of the road ( u know each road is really very very very long in that kind of place) and i walked like more than 2 busstops, only to know that its an apartment.. and the whole area and the neighbouring houses are all apartments -- no entry for me.. so i gave up and went all the way back.. wow how great.. went to another assigned house and no response, as usual... so move right and all the houses had dogs!! so just skip skip skip.. is that why they have dogs?? tried more than 10 households until the last house.. thot no chance le but an uncle came to the door!!

#8,9,10 3 super good aunties who mark a nice fullstop for the day
this is the worst road ever.. the start of the road was house no. 40 but my assigned house was 100!!! best.. walked in the dark (alr reaching 8pm) deep into the road.. actually i came here earlier in the day but the lady told me her 2 sisters-in-law will only be home at 8.. was quite scary cos was walking alone in the dark.. finally reach the house and they invited me in.. there were so many ppl there.. and the 2 sisters-in-law became 3!!! wahaha.. duno y.. they were really medically inclined cos 1 of them work in the hosptal.. and they bombarded me with lotsa medical facts i didnt know.. lol.. and how nice of them to treat me water and prawn crackers.. after the survey chatted with them abt the new jc system cos they didnt know.. they also directed me the shortcut but still safe way to the mrt station cos it already quite late...

weird things of the day
-a frustrated uncle opened the door , say 'can i refuse' in the most bu shuang way and slammed the door
-a door open just before i was about to press the doorbell but no1 was there.. lucky it was in the afternoon if not i would have freaked out
-some malay ladies open the door for me even before i tell them wat i was here for, who eventually had to close it again cos their houses dun have elderly above 50.. lol


so that marks the end of my tiring yet fun day.. tml will continue aft the recce for amazing race.. hope can finish the remaining 5 surveys since the rest are apartments and cannot go in the interview..

let's hope tml will be as smooth as today =))



Friday, March 07, 2008 @ 3/07/2008 10:18:00 PM
.

finally, its the end of the cold and eventful week..

let's not talk abt unhappy things anymore, cos it wont help in anything... we encounter, see thru many things, learn, put down and move on.. though the atmosphere for the whole week had been quite weird, i m glad everything had turned for the better towards the end...

a very big thanku to sihui and euods.. that frame was surprising and of cos inspiring.. was looking at it throughout my bus trip home yst.. i rmb writing such things to sihui last yr, and i m receiving it from her.. actually she really mature alot le wor.. and her writings (esp chi 1s on her blog) are super good, seriously.. i realised i cannot write sth like that even though i had been trying hard.. thankyou friends!!!!

and how could i forget to comment, mas selamat is still not found!!! and he has a very direct impact on my life, besides the danger to all our lives, he is causing me to go home late!!! yes if u are aware, the newspaper stated that the queues of lorries extend more than 10km from custom.. its totally true.. esp aft co i can c the long long queue alr lining 2-3 bus stops from kranji mrt.. omg tt serious that 961 hab to make a detour, to another expressway where vehicles going to johor are stuck in the jam too.. to make things worse, my another bus 912 which i have to transfer at the woodlands interchange pass my custom too... i once waited more than 35 min for 961 on the 1st few days of the manhunt.. so as a good citizen, i m seriously hoping he gets caught soon (though i think its not going to be so easy=x )

the holidays' gonna be busy with co, bio job and studies... its always hard to balance things well but yes i can do it =DD

i c light at the end of the tunnel =)

relax and let go..
