Working really changes your perspective. In the money sense and friends sense.
I would say I really enjoyed working as a promoter. Every week, new friends are made. And sometimes I even feel that the friends that I make in these few days of working are even better than some friends I have now. Furthermore, after 3 days of working and saying goodbye, even tho we probably wont meet each other again, I get the feeling that it was a blessing to have known them, who knows we might meet again when I work again.
You know, a few months ago, I would be someone who tries to keep in touch with friends who have seemed to move on and forgotten about me. Now, I don't really care much anymore. You might think that I've developed a 'loner' attitude haha. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe its just giving up on certain people after numerous tries to even say 'hi'.
Don't get me wrong, I still treasure the close friends I have. Not to forget my wonderful family and my darling. I just don't care much about the people that I've lost touch with. Until we meet again, then we see how things goes. Maybe we'll start talking like the old times, or maybe we'll just stare at each other in awkward silence like complete strangers.

Today was supposed to be my first day working as a sales coordinator at some high class uk fashion shop at one u.
(high class but the pay is still pittance)
I use 'was' because I walked out of the job 10 min after the shop was opened. Heh heh. Blame it on very bad coordination amongst staff and fussy bossy supervisors who think that they are the best. Heh!
I prefer promoter jobs much much more. More pay, same race of people, same frequency, and best of all more flexibility. :D
Thank goodness I walked out of that mundane boring job.

Happy Birthday Phang Kit! And a belated birthday shoutout to Harold - both dear dear friends of mine :)*hearts*
______________________________________________________________________________________
This morning i woke up at 8 to watch the American Idol Final Result show.
What a BORING show it was - somehow it lacked the atmosphere of previous idol finale results show. It started going downhill from that margaret fowler smooch with a surprised ryan seacrest which left him disgusted and disorientated after that. You could see his energy turn into disgust. It also spoiled my appetite, by the way.
Even the appearances of kelly clarkson, greenday and carrie underwood didnt save the show from boring me. I even found greenday's performance boring - maybe it was just the boring song that had the lead singer of greenday belting out a flat song with repeated lyrics. I thought the song was never going to end. What irked me the most was the lack of focus on the final 2 contestants, blake and jordin, and the LONG COMMERCIAL BREAK after EACH PERFORMANCE. Well yea, the show memang out to gain money from commercial breaks, but you dont have to make it THIS OBVIOUS.
But well, that being said, yay for Jordin! I think it was a good thing Blake din win, cos if he did he'll have to have that 'This is Now' song which doesnt suit him at all for his first single. That would be disastrous.

You know, I really really try to be a good friend.
I really really try to keep in touch with all my dear darling frens, but somehow the response i get from the ppl i try to keep in touch with are all cold responses cos everyone's just so caught up with life and so busy to bother.
Kinda depressing, aint it?
That's why I'm super touched when old friends just take the trouble to msg me and ask me how i am..or like you know say hi once in a while. Its really good to know all my friends havent forgotten me :)
Thanks to all those who bother to remember me and to keep in touch :)

For the past few days, every night before i sleep, my thoughts will go to Madeleine McCann, the poor little girl that was abducted from her family in Portugal.
I hope that she's still alive and well, and that the police will get their breakthrough lead REAL SOON and find her real real soon.
Bloody abductors. You think breaking up a family's happiness is so fun huh?! wait till somebody does it to someone you care about! Then you know what karma means!
*seethes with rage*
......
Anyway. It's been 8 days since home sweet home. And in this 8 days ive fallen sick with fever, flu, and cough, and fell down and grazed my right knee. And gotten real real real bored at home and slept like a pig.
Figures i nid to find something to do real soon before my brain starts to rot, if it hasnt already rotted.
Maybe i'll get a job..a nicer one that harold's =p. See first lah, if i do get one then it'll be one month of holidays down the drain, and that sounds rather wasteful of my holidays.
hmmmmm. anyone game to go out?

Total body workout day
my back hurts. my arms hurt. my legs hurt...ughhh...total agony >.<
I had an amazing 12 hour workout today =p It started when i woke up at 10...ate breakfast and made a trip to the office to enquire bout Kang's mysterious self-disappearing palm. Then walked to science to have my yummy stingray + vege + rice, went to co-op and successfully obtained 5 small boxes.
Came back to room, started putting all my textbooks into the boxes...filled up all d 5 boxes. Spent another hour heaving d boxes one by one into the luggage storage space that is SO FAR AWAY. one box must have weighed bout 15 kg >.< luckily i have abdomen strength, if not by now my arms die adi =p
After Phoebe the great manages to put all 5boxes into the luggage storage space, she then feels extremely lazy to pack summore and decides to reward her hardwork by making a trip to orchard. She opens her email, and gleefully she finds a borders coupon waiting to be printed in her email! :) Unfortunately, her printer is now packed nicely in a box in a warehouse. So she made a trip to science library, happily printed out the voucher, walked back to pgp to take btc1 and subsequently 171 to orchard. In her mind was a focused image: Sophie Kinsella's shopaholic and baby. She's waited OH SO LONG to get her hands on the book, and finally she has a 35% off coupon for the hard-cover book :D
Upon reaching orchard, phoebe's stomach started to growl. So she went to wisma atria for a meal, which did not completely satisfy her hunger. Her roving eye spied a jollibean counter nearby, where she subsequently ordered an extremely yummy papaya soymilk milkshake *beams* which is as yummy and scrumpdidlycious as it sounds :D Blissfully satisfied, phoebe continues her journey towards obtaining her much-anticipated novel.
She gets sidetracked by a shop where she buys 2 EXTREMELY PRETTY necklaces and a super great duper suitable sweet gift for her mom for Mother's day! :D So happy.
*switches back to 1st person mode*
I am SO DISAPPOINTED AT BORDERS. SO DISAPPOINTED. The last time i checked, they had TONS OF SHOPAHOLIC AND BABY. and just now, when i went there, they had one miserable cover-bent book which costed more than i remembered. *SIGHS* And dunno when new stock coming in too! Eesh. And Lisa Jewell's 31 dream street and one-hit wonder was also SO EXPENSIVE....so after spending an hour in borders, I went back empty-handed lest buns for tmr's meals.
had to wait for the 2 buses for like 45 min...zzz. So bored of late buses. Got back at bout 9.45 pm, legs were feeling damn tired adi lol.Stood the whole day except for sitting in buses.
Tmr still have to do laundry..another heavy thing to carry for quite a distance and back....and pack summore then MEET MY PARENTS YAY! AND THEN GO AND EAT LA MIEN AND XIAO LONG BAO YAY! *looks fwd to dinner*

Just now whilst on the bus returning to uni hostel, the 'so you think you can dance' show was screening on the bus mini-tv.
What the judge meant after the performance: the performance was totally hot!
What he said: that was global warming!
GLOBAL WARMING?!
*sniggers and laughs out loud at the lameness of it all*

To all my readers, thanks for dropping by! :P
And so I went back to KL last week all hush-hushedly. I din really tell anyone that I went back cos I had to study for this week's finals :P So unsociable, no? :P

What If?
While studying today, my mind kinda snapped back into time for a while.
If certain things did not happen the way they did, would I be who I am now, would my life and group of friends still be the same?
Haha.
Still, some things have occured without me understanding why they occured. The 'why' it occured still puzzles me :P
*snaps back to present*
I guess I shall just be happy and contented with who I am now and not dwell on the past =p

I think that when I'm thirty (shucks wanted to say twenty then realised im turning 20 this year(!)..how old sounding.) and having(possibly) my own family, I'll still be keeping in touch with my high school friends.
All my friends from form 1-form 5 and a few from taylor's college and primary skul.
Cos you know what?
Uni frens just "cant seem to make it" (singlish..lol). There's like a barrier in between..or the walls of friendship are thin that a tiny tiny misunderstanding will just crumble the whole thing. In other words, there's not enough trust.
*shakes head*
I wish that I can teleport myself to KL right now! now now now hmph. Or maybe have a super smart double to do all my upcoming tests and ace them and then i'll be like at the top of the bell curve! *grins*

Just when things are starting to settle down and I think that I still have a lonnngggg way to go (a month) before the finals start,
Prof from human anatomy lab: All the best for your CA (test) NEXT THURSDAY (eek!)
Prof from biodiversity: All the best for your CA on April 3rd (double eek!)
Prof from Biochemistry: Good luck for your CA NEXT FRIDAY (AAGHH! *faints*)
And then Kang decides to dump me all alone here for one whole week while he takes a self-declared ONE WEEK holiday to go back to msia ( thank you eu harn for encouraging him to do this, you know what you owe me! *glares*)
Eesh.
And now I have to do a term paper for the Introduction to Nanoworld which is like 30 pages!!!
%$@!#
Eesh. Now to do laundry.
