My first movie with a commentary.

Good morning.



The weekend is finally here! Actually, the weekend doesn't hold that much of a kick anymore, considering how I'm not working during the week and I will not be having classes for the next two weeks. All subjects except for PBF. Don't ask me why, I'm not the administrator. Even so, I wouldn't be looking forward to the weekend anytime soon. I should be starting work next weekend. And surprisingly, I'm not as miffed about it as I actually should be. I mean, who really wants to work on a weekend? I'm not sure if I'm a confirmed staff since I only went for the informal interview today with three others. But it does look promising. And I've already calculated my earnings if I go to work faithfully and obviously, am not late for work. $130 for two weeks, really isn't that bad. I could've been not earning anything, for a whole year! So, I'm not complaining. Since the hours are short and the environment, looks really conducive! I'll blog more about it, when I start work. But I am looking forward to it, so, expect for wonderful over praising reviews!


Today was a relative lazy day. I woke up at around 11, again for no apparent reason. I think I need to start sleeping earlier so my body clock wakes me up earlier. hahas! Had lunch with mummy, delicious. yum yum! At around four, we left to go to Republic Poly for the informal interview. I'm not exactly sure if I was late because the other two were already there. hahas. Anyhow, neither one looked to be have waited long although it was pretty awkward when the girl sitting one space from the interviewer moved closer to the end of the couch than towards the interviewer so I could sit. The chair was also pretty soft so, I kinda sunk into the seat. It really felt very awkward because it's like, everyone's sitting down and then when I sit down, the chair sinks under me a little. hahas! Anyway, we're past that. The interview, introduction, went on for about twenty minutes? I left first with the other guy because she had more information to pass on to the other girl who was going to be helping with the administrative part of the company. I would've asked if I could've stayed longer to listen but, I don't think I'll be able to commit to the hours. Seeing as how I have classes on all days but Wednesday. And office jobs are from 9 - 5. After the interview, me and mummy rushed off towards orchard for a movie! That was when almost everything came crashing down.


Firstly, the row of convent girls sitting behind us. I'm am utterly appalled. Did we use to act like that? Climb over cinema chair seats so we wouldn't have to walk past people to get out of the row? Talk so loud that the two rows in front of us could possibly take part in our conversation? Make loud comments during the movie so everyone in the cinema would know what we are thinking? Clap and cheer in the cinema? It's quite sad how we never really notice how we act to affect the image of the school we are in until we have left. Or we have matured. Nevertheless, I was pretty upset. I frankly have not encountered this kind of situation in a cinema before, that's why I just sat there and stewed while they exchanged phone numbers and juicy details of someone else's personal life. Not to mention, the girl who was sitting beside the girl sitting beside me was rocking in her seat so violently that my seat was moving. I got so annoyed I changed seats with my mother. When the show started, the two girls left the cinema theatre. One climbed over the seat to the front row [thankfully it was empty] while me and mummy moved our feet so the other girl could pass through. They never did return for the movie. I'm not entirely sure why they left, but if they had the courage to make so much noise in a cinema while the advertisements were running, I'm sure they would've had the courage to stay throughout the movie even though I showed my displeasure by changing my seat. Well, the remainder of the movie passed by relatively quiet aside from the few loud comments from the row behind us. I just rolled my eyes and tried to concentrate on the movie. And then, someone answered a phone call. hahas. The cute American guy beside me was like 'wtf?' and he said it pretty loudly. The typical Singaporeans just did the 'shh' sound while I sat in my seat and giggled silently. It was pretty funny at that time. Especially amidst the 'shh'ing, the American went 'wtf' quite loudly. Aside from that, there weren't much annoyances during the movie.

The movie. A little predictable. Out of the three movies, Step Up, Step Up 2: The Streets and Make It Happen, my vote would have to go to Step Up. That would definitely be for the story line. The dancing I have to say, it's almost impossible to choose. Unless of course, you've got a specific genre of dance that you prefer watching. I just prefer watching all types of dance. I really need to have a dance movie marathon. Hopefully people will actually come. Everyone is so busy with school and life, no one ever has time for me anymore. Unfortunately. Well, I will have that dance movie marathon one day! Most probably soon though, during the week when Ethel has her school holidays and I'll force Jessica to come and pray that Steffi and Genestine are able to make it!

After the movie, we bought Gloria Jeans again before going home. And tada! Here I am, at the computer again. I should be going to bed soon. I've got a nail appointment tomorrow and dinner in the evening with OG08. Hopefully it'll be less disastrous? One can only hope. I also hope my nails will not get destroyed! I will be ultra pissed if that were to occur. Maybe I'll just stay at the nail place a little longer to allow the nails to dry under the blower. Yes, that is what I will do. So now! I will head to bed and hopefully wake up early tomorrow to go and get my nails done. They said that they don't have any appointments tomorrow, so I might go down a bit earlier so that I can end earlier. Hmmm. What colour shall I choose?


So it's off to bed with me now. I shall be a good girl and wake up early tomorrow so that I will not be late for any of my appointments! Thank you for dropping by. I'll try and make my rants longer and more interesting for you to read. I admit I haven't been up to it lately. Tired and emotionally worn out and all. But I will get better! Hopefully. hahas. Well, take care and good night, for now!

What a day.

Good Evening.



I don't think you'd appreciate me telling you that I just had my shower and am not dressed yet so, I shall go get dressed now and be back asap! ~twenty minutes~ Ok, I didn't take twenty minutes, only a few minutes. So yes, as the title says, What A Day. It has been a extremely tiring day. I'm both emotionally and physically tired so I shall just keep this post to a minimum. As much as I can shorten it, I will. Although I do have a few things to mention. I don't mean to offend anyone, but if I do, I apologize in advance. But as I said, these are my personal feelings. If you really do feel offended by them, just let me know and I'll censor it or something. But please, don't keep quiet if you are really offended. There is the comment button, or if you know me, MSN or you could just tell me face to face. So, onward!


First up was waking up at 7am for no apparent reason. Mother didn't slam the door. Pharoh didn't bark at me. There wasn't anyone screaming. There wasn't any loud noises. The only thing that happened was I opened my eyes. Needless to say, I woke up again at 10.30am. I was late, by about 15 minutes into class. I'll ask my classmates about what the teacher talked about another day, it is 2.14am and I'm not in the mood to think about Principles of Banking and Finance. Sorry Mr Peh. After which, we went to Tricia's place to study. Except, we didn't really studying. Not much anyway. Class ended at 3pm, right? We reached Tricia's place at around, 4pm. I really should've called Tricia instead to get the directions to her place. Anyhow, we looked at clothes that Tricia was selling, and I was tempted to play Elven Blood. Well, I would've been absorbed in the game except the connection was a little off so I gave up and just sat there to listen to them talk for a bit. And then finally, I got down to studying. Actually, I didn't study much, all I did was read the readings and understood more of what Mr Peh taught today. I think it was a weak attempt at studying but well, I never did study well with company. I shall skip the whole 'getting ready to leave' part because, my eyes are tired and I have no desire whatsoever to delve back into my memory to recall what happened.


Fast forward to Dinner. I had sweet and sour pork with rice. It was really extremely tasty. Despite it being $4. I admit the wok concept was cute but nevertheless, we were talking about Holland Village. Everything is overpriced, is it not? Anyway, the dessert cum drink that I had really wasn't anything to die for. It wasn't sweet, it was cold and it just, wasn't smooth enough. Tou Huay. I still miss the one from Tiong Baruh Market. Or maybe I just miss SOC. After the desert, we took a bus down to Dempsey Hill. Poor little me had to use coins to pay for my journey. Do you know how embarrassing it was to put in coins and have the uncle stare at you and ask you how much which you reply '$1.20' and he looks at his buttons and says, 'only $1.10 or $1.30' which you expertly follow by dropping a twenty cent coin into the slot. The uncle stared at me and if I am not mistaken, he was trying not to laugh. Frankly speaking, if I was there, in spirit, I would've laughed until my stomach hurt. hahas! Fast forwarding to walking to Dempsey Hill. We missed a stop, hence explaining the walking. If I wasn't so short on cash, I would've been all for taking a cab. But alas, the wallet's a lil tight these days. Onward to the evening highlight.


First awesome point, the hot waiter. Ok, maybe he wasn't the 'drop dead gorgeous' kinda guy but he was definitely cute. I may have, at the moment, thought he was smiling at me but on hindsight. I do wish he was smiling at me. Well, Justin did get his number on a dare. Although I doubt he actually saved it. Do miracles happen for little girls who have been naughty? Second awesome point, my drink. Pina Colada. Sweet, Cool and totally refreshing! I think it is the first time I've tried it and I must say, it wasn't a wrong choice. I really need to find my favorite cocktail. Melon Ball is definitely up for the running. Amanda has never been known to turn down a fruit! I'm actually secretly glad I didn't join in the last drink with the guys. I don't think my body can handle being awake longer than it has to. Almost hitting the 15hour mark. Ok, I'm a lazy girl. What are you gonna do about it? Third awesome point, just hearing his voice. HAHAS. Yes, I think I am obsessed. Just a little anyway. It's just so hard to actually meet cute guys who know how to dress well and who doesn't continuously speak chinese to you. Oh, I forgot to mention the cutie in class today that looked a lil like Elvin. I doubt he noticed I was staring but I'm definitely going to be looking out for him at the next lecture! Ok, I'm sure by now, you'll know what the next few awesome points have got to do with. His smile, His laughter, and just, Him. Well, I don't think if I'm ever going to meet him again, but if I do. I'll thank the heavens first. The time we chilled out around the table, including the games we played were fun. I don't ever think I've done a cat walk being so unglam before. Like seriously, a jumper and converse shoes? Next please! I need to update my closet but, its a little costly. If you know what I mean. Anyway, I won't say I wasn't entertained but I won't say I wasn't really annoyed at times either. You always have to take the good with the bad don't you? So, fast forwarding to the end of the evening. The pictures we took, I think I blinked in both of them. But it is all right! I was never photogenic anyway. Doesn't matter if you can see my eyes or not. Hahas!


Tomorrow I'm going to give the Dance Studio a call. Hopefully, there is still a vacancy. I really want the job, despite the $5/hour pay. After all, it is better than nothing. Cross your fingers for me will you? I really should go now. My eyes can't take it anymore, they are really as heavy as lead. I will be back another day, hopefully once my annoyances have disappeared. I know I need more patience but, I'm working on it. I just, need a little more time and a whole lot more of effort. On my part, and on your part. Ok, bed time for this little girl. I'll catch you guys another day. Take care. Thank you for dropping by! Leave a comment, if you will. At least I'll know there is someone who is mildly interested in my life. Hahas. Good night and Sleep tight.
