29th Mar Chalet chalet~!

Chalet with the gurls!!

ok.. this's gonna be a long post. really.

by right the chalet's from fri to monday.. but i onli cld make it on sat after work! woke up late tt morning due to the sleepless night before (i heard weird sounds coming from my room.. fuck.) made jiani wait for me.. sorry girl! n my daddy sent us to suntec for our work. rched there on time and our job is to be usherer! for ur info, it is an event held by Channels News Asia Mediacorp and Raffles Hospital, an anti-aging Seminar. so firstly, we gotta set the place up and pack the 600 goodie bags. my head was swimming with hunger and my hands were numb from packing the goodie bags can.

anw after lunch the event commenced and we were sepearted each for our duties. i was to take up the position for distributing the goodie bags at the entrance, paired with a guy named junyuan. boring boring boring.... my grp r all guys n i'm the onli gal. and they all r few years older than me; all in uni alr. when finally there's breaktime they chatted about the uni stuff and i had trouble understandin their topic, even tho i tried to catch up.
seriously i dun mind doing this work, except the company sux n i jus wished there's ppl with e same frequency as me.

the whole seminar ended at about 5.40pm and by the time we cleared up all the stuff is alr 6+. we ate our dinner hastily n hungrily @ the food republic (pratas n tea taraks.. yum!) and rushed down to meet monkey n fish at pasir ris. they jus had their fun at escape! had clams shared between mi n monkey while monkey n fish ate their dinner. btw, the clams are delicious! how delicious? delicious tt even angelis, who nv eat clams, was satiate with it! i feeded them with clams, oh how nice am i, and after the plates had cleared up we met up with mich and went back to the room for shower.

anw, pls do await for the photos to be uploaded for the next post when i've gotten em from mich.

sophia and shawn arrived later, and while waiting for the rest to rch we had some chit-chatting session at the backyard. shawn was like sharing his amazing stories at sp, when the security guard came and asked us to shush up becos some basturds at the next door complained for disturbing his/her beauty sleep. wtf?!!?!?! who in the world wld spent their money @ chalet sleeping this early?!?! it's onli like.. 11+pm?? i mean, most ppl booked chalet bcos they wana have fun, isnt it so? unless i'm mistaken tt there might be a couple next door trying to do their thing, or i cld not have seen y they shld be complainin.

ann n her frens arrived and soon we were playing alcohol games. International Card Game. i muz admit.. it's sooooo fun!! jiani slept when the game commenced, so leaving me, monkey, lis, ann, shawn, si jia, sophia and michelle playing. i rmb ve well tt i got forfeited most of the times, and i got sabo most of the times, generally, means i'm one of the victims who drank the most, even with jiani's and sophia's n shaun's help by downing my remainin alcohol. but no, i'm not the 1st who got K.O!!

1st to K.O - ms sueann. extremely tired n a few bits drunk.
2nd to K.O - ms angelis. extremely red after a few mouthfuls of the alcohol, she dropped dead on the bed.

n all 3 of em wrapped with blankets from head to toe like cocoons. ENORMOUS cacoons. shawn went to sleep too, he had another of his tough training sessions the next day.

and we, the remaining survivors, went on playing for the rest of the night.

after a few rounds i must say tt i'm drunk! yes. look at my drunk deeds!!

DRUNK DEED #1: did i mentioned tt i went to the toilet, but i forgot to lock the door? oh well, luckily i rmb to close it.

#2 after relieving my bladder i nearly forgot to flush it

#3 i cldnt walk properly

#4 i was on the verge btw crying n guffawing the same time, but being semi-drunk, i'm conscious enuff to control my emotions.

#5 i puked, but not much

#6 i was snorting quietly to myself in the toilet.

#7 i can speak fluent n better english!! mayb next time i shld have a sip of alcohol b4 i go for interview

..............................seriously, this is the 1st time i got to this drunk. not a really nice scene. ugh.

after puking, they all realize tt i shldnt take anymore alcohol, they, or rather ms sophia, suggested to reduce my sufferings by changing the forfeit - i was to dance every time they picked their cards. with diff types of dance. this, makes me wonder whether i have to thank sophia or to complain. *giving a grim stare - thanks ar sophia!!!!

den i realized how tired it is to be dancing n drunk at e same time!! mayb it is the dance tt drain me out, not the alcohol!! when finally i quitted the game n chose to have a sleep, i found tt i cldnt slp at all.. even tho i'm so tired! i wondered how they can sleep on a bed which kept bouncing up n down without feelin giddy!!! so i jus merely closed my eyes, and then woke up again n watched em played, even witnessing the 3P scandal.. (pss!! there is NO sex invloved ok. for gods sake)OMG. then there's another 4P lol. either way we were making fun from ann's rumoured couple frens to shaun tan, who's at his 1st stage of drunkness - mumbling n muttering a lot of crap under his breath, for. a. looooooooong. time.

from wad i c his other signs of drunkness includes
a) hitting the person with pillow when they criticize him
b) telling off the person when they say the wrong word and
c) amazingly, he cld even exchange jap conversations

finally the morning sun creep up, we went for Mc breakfast (with shaun attempting to follow us, but failed. and mich snuggling with her guy, sleeping) and after breakfast, we packed up and headed home, leaving behind the rest of em who were still sleeping to book out when they finally woke up. all were bleary-eyed n extremely tired.. but but, it was fun n enjoyable =) really. it was a blast! tho i cant believe i drank this much... my parents gonna kill me for it if they know. so shhh..!


looking forward to mich's chalet!

dawdling days!

2o/03 (day before gd fri)

met up with lis, pw n beng at the evening for dinner and then wala wala next. chatted lots as we exchanged news n gossips, esp about each of our working life! after a long while of consideration by pw, we wandered ard holland v for the list of restaurents and finally settled on NYDC. finally. haha. den guess wad?? we saw zoe tay there! she's thin in person, doesnt looked like some post-pregancy mother at all. dressed simple n casual, we caught her coming in with her frens (or maybe her crew). so ironic la! didnt get to c her in mediacorp for all these days i worked inside but i only managed to c her in the mist of after-work-for-fun ppl in holland v. duh.

we had our delicious n fun ice cream at cold rock before heading to wala wala then we realized tt we had went a lil too late cos it was packed. u even had to queue up for space (not even seats ok) at the 2nd live band level. ok another yet wandering ard for something to do n we ended up at star bucks for some chit chat n reminisce on the silly stuff back in poly life! it was fun, even tho u're jus spending time talking at a cafe. =)

went back late at night then, cant wait for the next gathering!!



23/03

ann jio us out for dinner @ Newton!!! wondered y did she arrange such an early time for dinner but well, luckily i felt hungry already!! we had a scrumptious dinner!! Mmmm i love the lala, the stingray.. everything except the.... wadz its name? gong gong? or chuk-chuk? the one u needed to suck it out de. ve strange name la, cant rmb haha. den ordered chicken wings.. lucky they didnt order summore.. i'm so full! OH, thanks to ann for treating us the chicken wings!!!

after which went to emax @ cini, rented a movie called BLADES OF GLORY. ppl, ya'll shld catch this movie man it is sooooo funny! really, i'm like gasping for breath when watching this!!! then we had some coffee (for me) and a mouth watering hot choc cake shared btw angelis n i at starbucks (again.. i noe i noe...). chit chatted a while n we went back home. personally i think it's quite enjoyable even tho it's not a big grp. n i definetely wanna go back to newton for dinner again!

26/03

accompanied ni to jurong island to check out the working place, where on the next day she'll be having her interview at. it is one hot afternoon, and we 2 girls are like wandering ard at the remote industrial area, with a lot of huge trucks passing by us. so scary!!! wherever we walked, the uncles stared at us.. even wolf-whistled to us!!!

we even got lost while trying to find the company, bcos it was located too far inside from the main road. then when we were walking out to take the bus, one of the huge trucks had it's window scrolled down and this malay guy inside shouted "eh girls!! going where??" FREAK!!!!! omg! we were so outraged; jiani even had the interview cancelled, gd for her. like so dangerous lo.

we felt so sticky n sweaty after the trip there, but still went to ikea as planned. thanks to des i took a bus down frm queenstown and we strolled ard there. i was like so awed by the designs every now n then.. i wished i can design my own room!!!! but got no $$ tho.. sadded. then i was also extremely thrilled by the sweden meatballs!!! oh man it is sooooo yumilicious like my frens told me! i'm loving it woots! i wanna try their chicken wings next time too, cos i saw a lot of ppl eating it. mus be nice.. Mmmmmm...

3 days of work @ Mediacorp

last fri had dinner with the girls and the person from MC called again, telling me that the position Assistant Producer (AP) is put on hold and she wondered whehter i cld go down for 2-3 days part time admin job instead.

well, y not? aint got things to do anw.

1st day - went down there and was introduced to the person-in-charge; was sooo nervous (i dunno y!) when all i nd to do is jus do admin job... i kept imagining the ppl there being mean to me haha. but it was ok overall, they bo chap me while i jus do my work. most of em are english speakers there, n i felt so distant from em haha. well it's not tt i dun speak english, it's jus tt the way u speak ur singaporean broken eng sounds so odd out of their fluent eng, which makes mi pretty self-conscious when i opened my mouth.

nah, the office.. and my entry pass..

uh-huh. i'm workin at CNA

bcos i'm onli a part-timer, so i get visitor pass instead of the real pass!

anw met the current AP there and she brought me to lunch during lunch break. she's pretty friendly, and she filled me in with some info about this AP job. oh, and i saw one artiste frm ch 8 but i forgot wadz his name.. he's eating with his crew i think. the canteen is quite small, with onli ard 7-8 stalls. imagine u had to eat these food everyday, and cant go out to have meals cos the nearest shopping mall or hawker centre is some distance away..! *DIAO

back to office to work on files again then my daddy's fren zhenyi auntie came to find me!! ooo!! i'm so surprised! den i found out tt her office, which is the chinese department, is jus opp to mine! i went over to her office and the ppl there are so friendly, friendlier than those at CNA. and then i oso found out tt my pa was quite popular at their department cos he attended their programmes frequently heee.

2nd day - these 2 days i've been staring at the com for whole day and i think i'm gonna be blind soon. -_- my eyes, are ve ve ve tired! sometimes i jus wished i cld lie and close my eyes for a while. same as 1st day, been dealing with documents and sorting em out.. editing the letters etc etc.

den after lunch auntie toured me ard mediacorp! weeeee!! to studios where they broadcasted the news.. to the tiny room where they control the live programmes.. and to the drama studios where the artistes had their scenes of TV drama filmed! the signboard hanged at the door says "DO NOT ENTER" but we entered anw hehe.. and saw mo xiao ling and lee jing mei acting in the fake "living room". mo xiao ling kept having ngs.. haha. wasnt allowed to take pics so no photos =)

after which, i went back to office n discovered tt i had some idling time cos the person-in-charge was nt there n i had nothing to do. nothing. i cldnt serve net (the connection sot sot de) n i've got no mag or books with me; i ended up playing games Solitaire and drawing n writing stuff on the paper.

my working space

stuff i drew

3rd day - almost had everything they wanted me to do completed. saw NAT HO during lunchtime!! he's sooo handsome!! but a bit short tho. after lunch got everything done and they say i can leave!! it's onli ard 230pm..? i dunno where to go cos later at night had gathering with poly frens, but in the end i went back hm to slp cos i felt so sleepy.

ok about the job, i dun think i wan it now, at least not in CNA. look, $8/hr for admin job and the same amount of pay for the AP job??? then might as well i do the admin job with the same pay but less work load!!! auntie oso told me tt mediacorp's ve stingy. the pay u got is lil, and u wld not get much even if u stay on longer too! auntie also adviced not to go for the mediacorp if u wan to work on longer basis.. but if it's for fun and interest on short term den it wont hurt trying. mayb i'd go for the drama's AP or wad, at least it's more fun n interesting than at CNA.

yupp. jus considering la.

Channels News Asia..? OMG

a great THANKS to everyone who wished me gd luck!!!
thanks too, to angelis n ting for their advices..!
i'm also very grateful to alphonsus for his sms on interview earlier bcos i kept going thru wad he said before the interview!
lastly, an enormous thanks to jiani!! she acc me the whole day despite the extreme weather and kept advicing me what to do! love ya NI!! (as a fren hor.. haha)


it was a short 15-20min interview and was ve ve intimidating..! i rched there at 450pm and was given a pass at the reception corner (u nd a pass to get in) and i waited for the person for 30min. then before i knew it, i was inside a room with 3 ppl interviewing me!!!! gosh i was so stunned! anw, they asked me what do i know about this position i'm applying for and i said i actually have no idea which position i'm doing............. which makes me completely an idiot who is not prepared for this interview!! SHIT! how do i know? it's thru my dad's fren reccommendation for this position and no one tells me about it, which made me think that they'll actually fill me with details in this interview. but well they did in the end, and the post i'm applyin for is Assistant Producer!!

the 3 ppl inside there are actually Producers then, and they're prodcuers from Channel News Asia.... *fainted. then they asked me how comfortable am i in English, i was like ahh... quite comfortable lor. then i continued by telling em tt i actually wanted to take up lessons to improve my english, and tt i know how impt it is esp in this Media Industry. well then, they asked me a lot of things.. bla bla bla.. and they also described the jobscope of Assistant Producer.. which....... made me freak out abit..

when i go to this interview, i knew tt this job will be quite stressful and hectic. nevertheless, the description of this job still caught me off guard, and i actually showed it accidentally. the working hrs is from 830 to 6pm.. and they told me their expectations of me committin more time in this job.. which means OT lor. $8/hr, and they said it's the experience tt matters, tt is, if i have the interest in Media Industry.

i'm not selected yet, but i'm still thinking whether to go for it if i were to be selected. in dilemma now, and the word 'stress' keep going around in my head.. CAN I HANDLE STRESS?? this job aint easy..
oh man. i think i nd to call for help again....

the call from MediaCorp!!!!

OH YEAH I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MEDIACORP!!!!! WOO!

jio ni out to shop for my interview clothes and accessories yesterday jus in case someone asked me down for interview when this person from MediaCorp called!! i was sooo elated! initially she asked me down yest at 5pm for interview but i wasnt prepared bcos i dun have any nice formal clothes yet. so i requested for today's interview instead.
yepp. today 5pm interview.

i'm soooo nervous now. i dunno wad to say!! i rmb advicing ann for her interview and now i cldnt do it. LOl. wad i'm doing now is try to ease my tension by playing games. shall blog again after the interview!
