i drove for the 2nd time today! haha. went to fetch my sis back from sch=)

my dad,mum,bro and uncles said that: "we must drive often so as to get used to be on the road alone."

and yeahhh, no point spending so much money on a license which you dont use it.

random- tmr is the start of hungry ghost festival.

yeah! i can officially drive on my own now!

everything is so computerised now. even during the test, testers use laptops to grade you and all comments, mistakes (even which road you made the mistakes) and recorded in the system too! the conversation between us and the tester will also be recorded. and yeah, no more paper and pens.!

i was very very very nervous about the test (to the extent that i cant sleep the previous night and woke up very early this morning). during my warm up, i made a few mistakes which i shldnt and thus, made me even more kan chiong. however, i'm glad that all these are over. i was very satisfied with my performance in the circuit. all the demerit points i accumulated were mistakes made on the road. =))

=D=)=D=)

-project summer on sand-

today marks the end of Project Summer on Sand (though the HR comm-us, still need to work and count hrs!haha! but i'm fine with this=DDD

very very beautiful sandcastles built during the last 3 days.=D

East Coast Park, East Coast Park, East Coast Park and East Coast Park!! haha Have been going down to east coast park for e past few days. Qing Hui was saying, phobia of ECP alr. and Weijie said that he is used to coming ECP, now he a bit bu xi guan! whaha. coz he's the training IC, tts y he comes more frequent than any of us.

Took quite a few photos today, and am still waiting for them to send me! shall upload them when i received them!

fun, fuN, fUN, FUN, FUNNNN!!!!!!it was actually quite FUN! crapping, slacking and a little of working with friends. LOL!

received a call yesterday from yimei to ask me replace her for work today. and so, i agreed.=)

did quite a lot during work today.

1. many stock in cakes which include preorders, delivery and walk in. i think there are 4 BIG cakes?

2. quite a few mistakes on the cakes.
- name spelled wrongly, i need to unpipe and redo. not so bad!
- a 12.5" cake, supposed to have colourful dot trimmings, dont know why came in pink trimmings. and i had to mix colours, unpipe the pink trimmings and do my colourful dot trimmings.

3. a customer accidentally damage her cake when she's at home. so she came to ask me to help her 'repair' which include redoing some colourful dot trims, piping the words, fudging the cake.

feel quite satisfied to be able to do all these actually!=D

*tired* but still dont feel like sleeping yet!=D

tired!, worked today.

worked with Henry (from office) today at BC. He came down for training by Swee. However, he left halfway for office. I must say that i'm getting the hang of it alr. their POS system changed a little, more complicated but not hard to learn! haha. At the end of the day, i actually called Swee to check if it is safe to leave the float there. must let her know that i counted the amount properly. i even wrote down the no. of pieces of different notes. So, if there is still discrepancies, i dunnoe what to say! =P 2 wastage cakes today! Chocolate Banana, brought home though i dun eat them and a scoop of ice cream (left over from pan) by Henry for my sister. TIRED now!

still thinking whether i shld work in aug! sighhh...

worked alone at BC today, my first time. received several calls from swee asking if i am okay. met the delivery guy, gerald today too. quite a nice guy! haha=D and not forgetting rene, esp towards the end of the day. overall, i would say its quite manageable, except for the last part, which i took quite a while to fill up delivery orders and tax invoices. to add on to it, the transfer form came only at about 820pm,near my closing time. in the end, ended work at around 935pm as i was busy doing the recon sheet, counting cash and clearing up. bro and siss came to pick me up.=)

went home, bathe and came online! yeah, BIDDING stuff. yeah! i've finally bidded. Now, i'm waiting for the best to happen tmr. pls do.

okays, gg to sleep now!

BIDDING is driving me CRAZY!

Income tax, cheated my feelings! overbidded by almost e$18!
and Finance, e$7 overshot.

WORST, CAT and FT! 1 more e$ and i dont have to do all these SHIT agn!

SIANS!
I sincerely and really hope that my bids are successful in the second round!

I have endless stuff to worry about and there are endless things to stress me out!

1st, it was selection of mods.
2nd, the bidding amount
3rd, whether i get the bids successfully
last, whether i have enough e$ for subsequent terms as i am TERRIBLY BROKE!

Quoting xiumin "bidding is such a tourturous process man..depletes my money both e$ and S$), energy, time and sleep". Totally true!
It's well supported by the following:

1stly, to bid for good prof, we spent like e$38 for 1 mod (can bid for 2 mods normally!)
2ndly, my SMS! in just abt 3 days, i sms almost 200? so there goes my S$! Same for xm! haha
3rdly, energy and time to go and think, ask and research! sians BIG time!
lastly sleep! when oasis was down and i couldnt bid, i couldnt sleep also. slept at 2.30am and woke up 4hrs later to try bidding again. endless discussions till late in night. actually discussions will never end until bidding closes, hor xm? haha!

The bidding system in SMU is really different from other schools. We have to really do 'research' before bidding. So, timing is not the only factor to consider. Who's teaching, who's your competitors and most importantly, the MARKET rate for each mod are all the factors that one need to consider before bidding. Back up plans. the WHAT-IFs. I hope we do not and will not have any what-if. SO is that a good thing? well, i guess its up to each individual. Like a coin, there are pros and cons!.

well, i can only pray that we get all our bids tmr when i see checked the oasis screen at 12pm. O ya, i would say smu is rather efficient. Bidding closes at tmr morning 8am and results out at 12 noon. maybe due to the small cohort, but still thumb's up!=D

here, i wld like to thank many for their advices.=))

more about myself now!=D
been busy with freshmen matriculation these 3 days. well, not really busy, but occupied. supposed to meet rene, ps and joce for dinner but had to cancel it due to last min HR meeting. Well, i guess the meeting's more impt since team bonding is this FRI! did ushering for matriculation and promotion of our project SOS!

o well, its JYWTX today again. 1st half was great. 2nd half wasnt as gd though, but its relaxing and rather entertaining=P.

ending,
SIAN! my head bursting alr! haha.

SUPERRRRR STRESSED over BIDDING!

and now, OASIS is DOWN!

i'm feeling a bit tired actually, but i still cant sleep! besides that, i'm meeting petrina later at 1am online to discuss our mods. bidding starts on monday and i have not make any confirmed decisions yet. STRESSED!

i dont know if i shld take 5 mods per sem so that i can graduate in 3 years or 4 mods to lighten the workload per sem but take a longer time to grad? haix!

so meanwhile, let me blog:)

*3 july*
worked @ vivo city today, 13.5 hours! today's partner is much better than the previous one i thought. actually, this job of mine is very slack also! probably, more than half of the time was spent slacking. But, time passes quite fast today. left at 10:30pm and headed home! nothing much to update actually but for the sake for waiting for time to pass. (lousy eng, i know=P)

*today*
went plaza sing before heading to school. walked around and actually, there's not much things also. headed to school at 1pm. O ya, on the way to sch, saw this new vendor "cottage waffle place" at SESS building. heard that their waffle is nice!=P went CIT before SOS meeting. coz my laptop cant seem to detect the wireless network in school and at the same time, reset my password. SOS meeting ended at around 6pm. headed for J-Co donuts before going home! its been a long while since i last ate, so decided to buy home to share!

just came back about 2 hrs ago from LXWTS! it was excellent! enjoyed myself=))

okay, 20 mins to 1am!
