rush

i can forsee a busy 2007 for me. right after snco pop cum workplan, im assigned with zone games day! and ive just committed myself to jnco, and even otc!
wad about snco! not forgetting my corps training dept! courses etc! wah..
mummy asked me to stop. and i told her, daddy ask me to go otc one wad!
and daddy says "yah, after that then u quit!".
oh my god!
finally my parents show discontentment about my commitment towards stjohn. at one point, i didnt know how to explain to dad. quit after that? then wads the point of going?
he thinks at least u dont leave with regrets for not becoming a commissioned officer.
that sounds right. but its kind of conflicting with my objectives of going for otc! damn. its getting tougher n tougher. and i just wonder if i can pass my interview next week! ha!
did i mention im still unemployed!
being jobless just adds on to my current stress level! its just wrong to not work!
how possible it is to pass interview? damn it. i guess first impression counts so much in this industry! if only st johns willing to pay me, i would be so much happier! dream on..

cool

last night met up with jc mates for dinner and k box! its so nice to gather again (since prom) for our k box session! spent quite a bomb on billybombers and karaoke. but its worth it larh! after all, the guys are enlisting soon!!

having slept at 3am last nite, didnt have much zest for todays work. but today's the last working day for passage, advertising for its promotion. sure gona miss these people!



our coordinator/finance manager lynne, big boss may, colleague pauline, me, gela and belinda!
new friends i met in passage!
very nice people and made my past experience
memorable and meaningful.

see the board and tags? we have been carrying them around shenton way since we ran out of roses to distribute. hahaa.

ok. its damn embarrassing to carry the sandwich board! today i just attempted it! stood right infront of capital tower somemore! oh man. felt like im giving some free show or wad. being the centre of attraction! burnt!


i must advertise for mr teh tarik too! located at far east gate! they have the best teas u can find in raffles place! its economical and definitely refreshing!
its a place i discovered one day during work... hahaa!
despite rain, sun, perspirations and rejections, we conquered them!
never had so much rejections in life other than being a promotor!
the learning point is to stand up stronger whenever you fall!
finally i can rest my smile for a few days!

finally. the photos show:
efforts and brain juices worth. and hav definitely prick me when they tore the whole thing down and readin wad willium has sent. anyway,
thanks ben for helping. thanks chin for not helping. (made me buy materials for u somemore!!)

ma'am chin



















the process into getting this done was damn hilarious! get to interact with wanling more too! haa. i lk surprising people! hee! i was damn nervous n anxious too! and i hav no idea why my face turned out lk dat!











ma'am chuiyee!
one of the nicest ma'am ive known in zone8. honestly. look at the 'buttons' on her shoulders! haha. must be really heavy hor ma'am. ;)

randommmmmm

Tampines Corps














the rank mounting moment..













the newly promoted senior NCOs!












szeling!

can you tell which is me? and which is rsm grace? haa! get hweechin to answer u.. we turned and turned and turned .. and took a front pic!

ben!
damn. there are still many pics i wana display but just dun understand why blogspot doesnt display them even though ive uploaded them many times..









oh man. im confused. i may be out of city during cny period.. and the worse is on my bday! oh man. oh man oh man. not that im pretty particular about my bday. since my dad really wish to be out of s'pore this year, i cant leave my mum alone with my dad right. well, i mean when my dad goes to casino, my mum would b alone larh. so i need to go along.
but, its gonna be pretty sad to be away with others. omg. damn. it makes me so upset when he tells me why he wana be away from s'pore during cny. i just wish my uncle is still around.. maybe he is.. i can feel
a pretty bad start for a new year. damn. ive been to 13 interviews. and tentatively failed 12. so it makes me wonder, how can i pass otc interview if there is one? ha. com'on. may be i smiled too much during interviews.
anyway, have been working temp for passage, the rose giving job. but now weve changed to giving tags/leaflets to ladies. so guess what! the response is the direct opposite of the one giving roses. humans are just so practical. well. at least i tried and it made me realised how "easy" it is to earn bucks yourself huh. oh, i am told to smile while giving the tags! if not, the ladies wouldnt take it. =)

snco part 1

after all the grumblings grievances nuisance and irritations, senior ncos training course 2006 has come to an end yesterday.
it was another touching sight where all your cadets are awarded their sgt rank. well it isnt so much about the rank, but rather, the process.
chongchung high gave me a nostalgic feeling. because my snco passing-out-parade was held there too! simply cant forget the moment when i mounted the sgt rank on marktan! it was valentine's day i remembered!
and now, 4 years later, the school never change, the pond never change, but the people have.
impacts:
the most contented part of my snco long service journey (not exactly long in fact) was what rsm grace and jun xiang said. though it was just a few words from them, i felt so warm. once again, they made me feel that my involvement all along was worth. thank you.
of course, seeing ben, ken and wenbin too! the first few strangers i met during my first snco camp as a trainer.
looking at mingli and cassander being the ascorts/orderly made me realised how far ive been. and what the chinese often say ".... hou lang tui qian lang.. .. xing ren huan jiu ren". i can still recall how anxious i was when i was made the orderly for snco 04 with chiying, and as an experienced escort for snco 05 with pearlning.
then of course, i must mention, seeing hweechin grace and gerald in their safari and peak cap. recalled how we tried to sneak our way through camps and be made out-of-camp (ooc). see, they are all commissioned officers now! tpss sure has leaders.
with all the blessings to ma'am huiying and szeling, we'll meet again! =)

the photos will come soon.

passage new york

we had thousands of roses to distribute..

60 stalks!! thats very heavy!
PASSAGE OF ROSES!
yup! a one-day job at shenton way!
gave a total of 3000roses today!!
just look at us! carrying 60 stalks of roses and advertise to ladies, our target audience.
sometimes i just cant stand some women! u see, its pretty obvious that we're choosing who we want to give the roses to.
but some try all ways to get your attention and expect u to give them one.
honestly, none of us wants to reject anyone. but it is our job to ensure our msg gets to the correct people. isnt that's part of a promoter's job!
we have women who
1) shouted "WAH! SO MANY ROSES LEH!" - to get your attention, so as to give one to them each.
2) shouted "SEE! they dont want to give me." - same motive!
3) upon giving one rose, she says "can i have the other one instead? its less bloom." - picky!
4) deliberately walk between you and ur friend. - hello! u want one right!
5) ..
6)..
ahh.. theres just too many!! do you dare to ask for something from a promoter who didnt approach you?
well. actually, the best part is getting to know kenny, richard and pauline! new friends from tpjc! haa. late better than never! they're nice! and sure made me enjoy this casual work!
having 2more sessions this week! and im officially unemployed again! damn!
wish me luck ba!

cabbage and carrot

when people say that they can help/ they will help. i seriously wonder if they know what they're talking about and if they truly understand what help really means.
according to dictionary.com,
help- to make easier or less difficult; contribute to; facilitate
help out- to assist in an effort; be of aid to.
however, often it turns out to be otherwise. especially when they fail to even try to help, they simply worsen condition. simply because disappointment sets in.
i really need help!

its so nice giving roses to people. in fact, after doing that, i feel that i know women better! hahaa. well, it would be even better if the roses are made available to the men as well. after all, there were 5000 roses! not are we just advertising for the company, we're making people's day too!
i simply had a great time there!
come to think, its pretty easy to make a black faced person smile back at you. ha.

finally the course is over. glad that the debrief wasnt the same as last year! if not perhaps i dont know what im going to say this time. well, honestly, i had more feelings for this year's snco than last. guess its due to campday 3 that touched me so much. but
guess wad! i was greeted SGT this morning! omg. my heart sank and i just ignored. wad the fuck! i mean. but i didnt do anything about it. after all, they perhaps cant tell as im attired half u. and maybe i look young huh! what matters more to me is the feeling of ma'am isnt portrayed! you see, if you've the ma'am look, they'll just automatically greet u ma'am right! ha. forget it if possible.

job hunting is shit. am i too picky? or wad da hell is wrong man. had been a week and im still unemployed. well, excluding the 3day work larh. see, im so anxious and yet to no avail for my interviews. damn it!
maybe i should enjoy my current life.

Jobless

so u see, i clarified the pay with the hr personnel and ive decided to wait longer for a better job with a better pay. i rejected the interview.
in actual im least interested in customer service. its just bcoz my sis is working there. so she sort of sent my resume to her supervisor. then i got it.
but well, it sounds like some kind of pulling string thingie huh! so nah. and furthermore its gona be damn bored to answer calls for 8hrs/day! eek.
and ive just sent a few emails to some tuition centres. hopefully they can give me good responses. anyway, most probably i will wait till angela recover then we'll look for job together!



well. i should hav gone on some holiday trips before starting to work huh!
i was wondering..

no school!

"没有读书的日子真好!" i said that yesterday night and my fam agreed.
woah. the feeling is great man!
dont need to worry about anything concerns with school! nothing about waking up early. nothing about reaching sch late. nothing about tutorials. lectures. even lecturers! haa!
dont worry kids. if ure still studying, u'll reach where im standing now.
well. but good days dont last!
just received call for my first job interview!
its gona be customer service. my first job! and can tell from the caller that theyre in need of people. so most prob im gona work the next day!
oh. no. yes. i mean i need to start waking up early again!!
but that will also mean that my pocket will start filling up with cash! haa.
think positively huh.

tension of the opposite.

dedicate to that people i detest
"If youre trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if youre trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone." - MorrieSchwartz

now that we roughly know what our corps is doing to us. or rather, what the people in our corps is doing. we no longer need to try to coexist harmoniously.
the picture is getting clearer and clearer. and all that i care now is the kids and their future in stjohn, my teachers in charge, my corps future in zone.

as much as i know. we'll do what uve done. thats easy.

Happy New Year! i wish!

i thought i could perhaps leave this out of my mind for a day but! this morning, the straits times caught my attention once again!
damn it!
i thought the Eight logo is great!! It uses interpretation of the no. '8' to form the letters.
if only im more talented! i would have a better time designing one.
anyway, wana wish a HAPPY NEW YEAR to my love ones!
seeing all of u next yr! =)

next year will be a better year.
