Went to Expo for the MPH book fair yesterday then to the food carnival. Gotten 4 books only cuz they only accept cash. Well, at least now I have something more interesting to read rather than ladies' magazines that I have to flip from cover-to-cover, not realising what I have been reading. The irritating thing is that there are potential customers who want to try on some shoes and every now and then I have to pause to entertain them. Just leave me alone...One more thing, I need a bigger book shelf or cover...Don't really like the one I'm having now cuz it's bit too limited for all my books...Yet, I'm a little too cash-stripped to get a new one and little time to choose one too...
The food carnival, as usual, nothing very interesting. So, after leading my mum and sis for 20min, I gave up and my sis took over. Went over to Uncle Lawernce's stall designated area since daddy's working there and just stood around. Saw many familiar faces around and I was like I wish I was working there too. Couple months backs, I was working at the food carnival at Suntec and it was so fun. Ya, there were pesty customers, as usual, but I just enjoyed myself there. There were people gossiping, not happy with each other and the stinky smell of oil but it was just plain fun, at least for me. They actually reserved me for the carnival at Expo but I told them it was only a tentative plan. Yup, I missed the fun, the annoying people, the shoutings and the cute guy!!!
Maybe I'll try to make time for the next food carnival some couples months' time and hopefully to see the very cute guy, whom is rather gossipy in the fun way and really just funny, working with me again.
For now I'll just bear with whatever boredom, wasting my life away (Ya rite!!! Read my books) and entertaining some brainless pests whom I really wish I can stuff their mouths with shoes!!!

Da Vinci Code was pretty cool but not the best show of the year. So glad that I went with a group of people who are able to decipher and understand the show without endless questions like, "Why was he in Paris?", "How come he's back again?" or "Why did he kneel in the end?" There was a part in the book that was not presented in the show and that led to some confusion. Advice --- read before and/ or after watching the movie. It was rather funny when Silias jumped out on an attack, many in the theatre gasped their breathe or screamed. It did really sound like they saw something more scary than that attack.
First, I'm in real deep shit....almost sinking into that.
Second, I'm really going to die of boredom helping out @ my uncle's stall in bugis village...any nice people who want to save me from the boredom feel free to visit me...I sell shoes there...ya and yes, I did make sales...there are really annoying customers rather pests that I really like slapping and killing them...annoying pests, cheapos, pests and more pests....thank goodness there are just some enough nice, friendly customers once in a while to reduce the killings...I got to work like 2pm to 10pm from mon to sat...I'm only free on sun, besides the fact that I do roam around after work and not wanting to go home....
Third, I'm STILL in deep shit!!!
SHIT!!!

I'm proud to say that I'm the owner of 55 pairs of earrings!
I blurted out one fine day during dinner that we should go Changi Beach and off My family went Changi Beach and my sis and I went to cycle this morning....We didn't realise that the entire stretch of beach is that short....Well, the last time we were there was about a decade ago...Anyway, the beach is, sad to say, one of the most badly littered beaches in Singapore....The scenery's fine, the comfort from the "wishing" of the sea's smoothing....but people should just have the consideration for others and keep the beaches clean....While cycling, there was this girl near one end of the cycling track crying....She used up like two-and-a-half packets of tissues....Why do some people like crying at the beach....Is the beach such a sad place....Do they believe that the tides and the "wishing" of the sea will "overlap" their weeps....
After the beach we went Pasir Ris for lunch and later daddy sent my sis and I to Tampines Mall for a little shopping trip....Well, honestly, I think my sis's superb deprived of shopping that she bought a Billabong wallet, several pairs of earrings (along with me), a belt, and a top....I was being a nice sister all along and just pay for her first since she didn't bring any money with her...so everything's on credit....We were both so tired from the cycling that we were on the verge of having a battle to open our eyes while shopping....But it was all fun and supposed rewarding, esp for my sis since she have been studying very very very very hard for her mid-year, and it's only mid-yr!!!
I wonder when will I be able to have 100 pairs of earrings....and they are non-repetative....I love all my earrings and they suit all occasions....
Well, till then...movie on sun, Billy Bombers on mon....before I got my late night works soon....
Constellations, Rather Addictive Sunday, May 07, 2006
Jack Jackson
In Between Dreams
Constellations
The light was leaving in the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
Skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the waves
It's getting late
It was just another night
With a sunset and a moonrise
Not so far behnd
To give us just enough light
To lay underneath the stars
We listened to Papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations
The west winds often last too long
And when they calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the sea
Of stars up abovre us chasing the day away
A way to find stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough and all else fades
Fades away
It was just another night
With a sunset and a moonrise
Not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay underneath the stars
We listened to Papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations

Was it mockery or was it jus coincidental? The "A" results have been over for quite some time and I have submitted my applications to the various uni along with my insignificant results (and of course, none replied, yet).
The project manager whom I working with for the third time asked me if I'm going to the college anytime soon...For every project the first thing he ever ask is that...
The usual reply goes, "I'm waiting for the uni letter for admission, rather if they want to accept me."
He probed, "So where did you do your "A" and how was it?"
"At Meridian JC and pretty bad."
"Huh? Full cert?"
"Well, I did get a full cert but the results are not really that nice and presentable."
"So are you staying local or going to Australia?"
"Most prob local."
"You know what, did you study cuz you do look smart?"
Was that supposed to be a comment or question? "Of course I did study. Hahaha, thanks." That was done rather half-heartedly.
Well, what can I say...Should I have said that I don't have the money to get to Aust or should I have said that I need a job that can earn me about 10k per month for the next half of the year...Loaning means burden to the future and constrain of the present...
Do I really look smart (thanks rejeev)...can I look smart and be smart at the same time... I really wonder if I've made the right decision even though I know I should not feel that way... I don't have that much time to make a U-turn and I don't have the confidence that I can make it right for the turn... It seems like the only choice I have is go with whatever choice I have... ...
Hmmm....gotten quite some stuff this week at least for a lazy shopper like me... 2 tops, 1 cardigan, 1 bag, 1 magazine, 1 pair of heels and my favourites --- chocolates, kiwi, grapes.... Oh and if anyone feels like seeing cute guys, there's one at TCC, the outlet at PS...He's a waiter so should be there most of the time...cute, honestly...I couldn't resist but just kept glancing at him when I was there... ...

These days the news just go on and on about the election...instead of the usual half-an-hour news allocated for both local and global events, the half-an-hour session is only about the election and an extension of fifteen minutes for the rest of the world...
It's honestly pretty interesting to listen to the some of the rallies...in one way or the other, someone from the party must make sense of certain events or topics...
My dad wanted to listen to one of the rallies but my mum insisted on the what-for attitude. Backing my dad up on listening to the rallies annoyed my mum. In the end she decided to accompany my dad and when they returned, my mum got into this sudden zeal on voting. Well, like my daddy and I told her, "Honestly, mummy, we think you've missed quite some fun for the past years."
Anyway, listening to rallies is so much more fun than "listening" to your extremely inconsiderate neighbours singing karaoke in the middle of the night (literally -- 11pm to 1am) and playing mahjong from evening till 5am the following day... ...
