life's like this~

wahhhhh,
 
so long never update my blog le.. (soli ya ah na, hehe..) think my last post was about the penang floorball trip, hmmm which was 3 months ago le.. =.=  ok la, think i will just continue where i left off.. update update abit lo..
 
yes, immediately after the penang trip was the 15 all-guys all-malaysian all-ntu-nians graduation trip.. sounds abit gay right 15 guys?? haha.. our trip was to macau--->zhuhai---->shenzhen---->hongkong---->shenzhen.. hmmm it was my second trip to macau-hk in as many months.. (went with caris theresa jv just 3 weeks before this trip i think..), but it was not important la, cos it is the people that u travel with which makes every trip different and special in its own way haha.. hmmm the last time we focused more on sightseeing, but this time it was all about finding nice local food, led by our tourguides - kyo and junyaw.. entertainment was 24/7 as we have our lovely mickey with us, never a boring second with hh around, haha.. mo nai looo~~ the rest who went who also provided so much entertainment included jeff, dot, winnie, smboy(yi tong qu jiao you~~), sean, soloman, hongcheong, kokhon, KE, vj, yuxin.. yi tiao long loo~~
 
after the trip, didnt have much time to stay back in kl cos have to attend interview in sin.. 20th june was the day.. n it turned out to be a very nice day as i made it thru the 4 rounds of interview to get into SIA, haha.. hmm as most of u guyshave already knew, yes, as a AIR STEWARD, haha.. aiya just try for fun la.. how some of my friends reacted to this shocking news?? 'har, the interviewers blind ar, or they forgot to put on their glasses?' haha... ling jie!! (dun intro u pilots le, haha..) even my dad n mum got a shock lo haha.. but since got in le, then dun waste liao la, just try for 2-3 years first.. can get paid to travel around the world wo, dai la~~ salary still not bet too, can use to pay off my $40000 study loan lo, sien haiz.. :(
 
17th july was my first day of work!! hmmm first day of training to be exact, as we have to be trained for 2.5 months before we can start flying.. my batch number ----> 987.. training was fun as my batch mates were all very fun n active, i more quiet lo, as usual.. lead by our BT mis Gillan and my 'captain andy lau smoke king' Steven, training was always fun and interesting.. made alot of news friends here too:) got our singer Sasa, our soon-to-be IFS Edina Tjoniko, our funniest gal on earth mis Herna/Yuni, our lovely Fe Ching, our weight check gal Pamela, our accountant Poison Ivy, our YongChowWin serene, our street wise guy Aaron, our captain steven's gf Amelda, our designer Celina, our baby Jane(18 years old only!!!), our tamama Shirlene, our Jojo Joanna, our Ade adeline, and last but not least - Mr Kelvin.. 18 of us in total, 2.5 months just flew by with a blink of an eye.. 3rd of oct was our graduation, and now we are all soaring/blurring(blurring is for me n yuni, haha..) FSS/FS in the air le.. :)
 
during this 2.5 months, me n kyo have started our own tuition agency too - HomeTuitionCare. it is more like a franchise from Skan Yong's tuition agency in malaysia, which was a very big success.. we now have a malaysia branch and a singapore branch le haha.. can consider international company le right? haha.. it was really a very nice experience starting up this company, wasn't easy at all as i had to juggle between my full time job n this. But all the experiences gained was worthy.. all the sweat we had put in together was fun.. business is slowly improving, but at the same time i had also decided to leave as i'm not allowed to have a second job according to SIA company rules.. too bad but that's the way life is.. u cant get everything u want..
 
if wanna find tutors, can always visit www.hometuitioncare.com loh, hehe~~ kyo aka glen would be there to gladly serve u~~
 
how is life as a FS? hmm so far so good lo, got a lousy first month roster, but 2nd month seems to be slowly improving.. so far, i've been to places like nagoya(with aaron), shanghai(with aaron), mumbai, adelaide(with yuni, haha!!), bali, Christchruch lo.. get to see many new places n new things, not bad lo.. next going to incheon and vancouver loo, hehe~~ time to learn a new sport - Skiing!!! duno whether will stay long term in this job la, but for now, just enjoy travelling around the world 2-3 years first lo.. nothing to lose right?
 
hmmm things i missed doing since started working is floorball n my track n field lo.. really no time to do any sports le lo.. even if have also too tired sometimes.. went back to ntu for some trainings with the guys, but always seem like Extra cos i'm the only non-ivp player there, haiz.. track n field also dun have anybody jio le, xiaobenxiang also quitted the school team even worse lo, haiz.. cos of work commitment, had to give up the chance to go Australia for APAC championships too, if not could have reunite with the penang n kl guys, fight for malaysia again, haiz.. but i think that is the sacrifice u have to make when u start working lo, u cant always have what u want, sometimes life forces u to do things that is not what u want the most, but u just have to do it to survive..
 
no work all play = no $$ = cannot survive = gg..
 
hmmm now i m staying in tampines lo(just 15 minutes from TSH), but actually when i m free, u would be able to find me at kahwai's/guan's place playing mahjong or DOTA, or mo nai hahahaha.. always feel very lonely staying in the east, not so many friends there, although still got simei, qiyu, tingyi, gerald etc la, but still.. 4 years living in boon lay sure more used to the surroundings there lo..
 
hmmm think that is all for my updates for these 3 months.. life is okay so far, always look on the bright side of life, n everything will be just fine, haha~~
 
 
everyone jia you ba~~
 
 
(p/s: writing this blog at kyo' place, so lazy to post pics.. when i go back tampines maybe post again lo, hehe..)

asam laksa

22nd may 845pm, just crossed the singapore-malaysia border, but this was different compared to my other returns to malaysia.. this time, i carry an extra luggage - my stick bag, and it was a mass-crossing - 13 in total, who also carried 1 stick bag each.. think alot of ppl were wondering wat was inside our stick bags, cos most ppl in malaysia duno wat floorball is , maybe they think we got parang inside lo haha..
 
23rd may 700am, after many unwanted n unexpected delays, we finally reached penang, long long journey ar faint.. as the friendlies against the penang teams were scheduled on the following day, we had 1 free day to roam around the city.. which was very convenient, thanks to very nice planning by miss tien fun, hehe.. walked around the city, went to the Chocolate Boutique(Butik Coklat in malay), SUN YAT SEN's house(pinky's idea la, still need buy ticket to enter alamak), Pranglin Mall(Star bucks n Indiana Jones), Gurnay Drive n Plaza, then finally retreated to our Sunway Berjaya Hotel for the night..
 
24th may 845am, our chartered bus was waiting for us outside the hotel.. got the bus for a very cheap price thanks to edward(really the most helpful n nice guy i've ever met loh, thanks alot ya..), really saved us alot of trouble loh cos the Balik Pulau stadium was isolated on the other side of the island in a ulu ulu kampung area.. BUT, the court in Balik Pulau was really damn nice loh, the flooring n the lighting was just nice, court size was also just nice, perfect conditions for a nice friendly, hehe.. got to meet up with APAC guys (edward, jason, kuanyang, kenny, lincoln, Veron's #99 yeoh, henry, termin, bryan), but this time we were not playing on the same team le but were opponents.. enemies, haha.. played against INNEBANDY CO n CONTACT combine team in the morning n the Penang state team at night.. we won 7-4 morning n 2-1 at night, but could have easily lost both matches if not for jackie's heroics in goal loh.. we only had 9 guys for the 2nd match loh, run til wanna drop dead le loh, SPARTANS~~ aiya, kena cheated by deswyn leh, said he would be playing but in the end din come, haiz.. yes deswyn is the best center in the malaysia team, too bad we couldnt play against him loh, haiz.. after the 2 games, both teams exchanged gifts n took photos together..
 
25th may 845am, the gals took the bus back to Sin.. those who were taking flights back n those going back to kl hung around for the day.. overall a nice nice penang trip, hehe.. big big thanks to tien fun for organising such a nice trip n Edward for organising the stuff in penang too..

i m not honey

shittttttt.. got stung by a bee yesterday arghhhhh..
 
walao, duno y my hall yesterday full of bees leh.. at least 7-8 loh.. but only my floor (level 5) had this problem, why why why?? 1 bee even flew into my bro's room loh, sien diao.. they seem attracted to the light la, cos after we turned off the light it flew out straight away..
 
okay, actually bees wont stinng u for no reason de.. unless u step on them or roughly handle them (according to wikipedia).. hmmm.. from morning til night, i went in the toilet which had at least 7-8 bees inside, but everytime ok 1 wor, the bees dun kacau me, i dun kacau them, everybodyh happy happy.. until i decided to sleep at 2am, then got 1 silly bee wanted to play a prank on me =.= i just finished brushing n was about to leave when it landed on my back, gg.. at first i tot it would fly away immediately, but when i look at the mirror, it seems like he is contented by slowly crawling around my back loh, shittt..
 
my first attempt was to try n sweep it off my back with my BARE hands, wat was i thinking??? okay, maybe when u r FREAKED OUT, u cant think properly anymore loh.. ok first 2 sweeps - MISS.. so it was still crawling around behind me.. 2nd attempt - BLOW, as if i have enough strength to blow it away haha.. to no avail, it was still there.. Now this was when i really really understand wat FREAKED OUT felt like - i was like out of my mind loh, just wanted to get rid of it so badly that i simply sweeped my back, this time it did came off.. n yes, according to wikipedia, it will sting u when they r ROUGHLY HANDLED.. got stung on my left middle finger, ouch.. i was frantically swinging my hands to get rid of the stupid bee, then it got finally got swung away, but onto my shirt this time, omg.. then i was flapping my shirt like a mad man la, then it finally came off.. n then i was like rushing back to my bro's room n quickly shut the door..
 
i wasnt thinking straight le, didnt know wat to do.. whether i would be allergy to the bee toxins.. mind not working, but luckily my bro still calm la, ask me call my aunt who is a nurse.. then she helped me asked a doctor loh.. my hand was red instantly..but no swelling la.. think maybe is because i keep swinging my arms non-stop, the bee couldnt sting deep enough.. according to wikipedia, 'The stinger should be removed as fast as possible without regard to method: studies have shown the amount of venom delivered does not differ if the stinger is pinched or scraped off and even a delay of a few seconds leads to more venom being injected'.. YES la, so lucky it din went in too deep (sometimes it is good being freaked out afterall hehe..).. after consulting the doc, he says i m fine cos no rashes or anything.. n no swelling too leh, phew..
 
haha after the excitement, i went down to the tv lounge to wait half an hour to see if any of the symptoms appear, but i was fine in the end, yippie.. quite an exhilarating experience, n quite funny to be jumping around outside the toilet, luckily noboody was around, if not sure very 丢脸 liao hehe..
 
oh ya, the bee died in the end, wahaha..
 
DSC02532lucky lo, just slight redness only, n no swelling too, phew, means still can go penang play floorball le, yippie..
 
(p/s: no photo of the bee, cos i apiphobia liao haha..)

miss Cedar Point arr

Woke up at 4pm today, helped kah wai move his stuff to his new room at Ah Fang there around 6pm.. wah, after seeing his new place, think that we all should be very thankful to have rooms in halls loh.. not kidding lo, his rent is $230 la(considered very very cheap outside now le..) but ours roughly $190 only loh.. his room is maybe only half the size of my single room now lo, got 1 bed (without tilam), got 1 table (which is also half the size of my table), no internet.. the worst part is there r 4 ppl staying next to his room, n their only way to go out is thru his room!! Means he will be having ppl walking in n out of his room (although his is a single room =.=), no privacy liao lo.. but $230 is really consider very cheap liao la, 2 more months is our turn to move out le, think also scary lo.. outside rent will be more ex, food also more ex, need to get use to new environment too, haiz.. but luckily sharing with my frens la, if not it will be even worse lo.. need find job need find house, think 4 years in uni really become too protected le, now going out, have to start growing up le, haiz haiz..

 

So after moving his stuff, we went to eat our favourite KFC at City Harvest, only 5 minutes walk quite near loh.. the queue was ok la, but the service was super slow loh, tak boleh tahan lo.. short queue but still had to wait for a long time, wat the.. think u all know who r the cashiers le lo, haiz.. really cannot stand them lo, do things so slow, I order wat also can screw up 1, haiz.. no eye see.. how can ppl be so lazy n irresponsible 1 ar? this is ‘fast’ food loh, but they just like taking their own sweet time loh..

 

Was queuing (n cursing at the same time), but looking at them made me think back of the times in Coasters, Cedar Point.. damn shuang lo, can cook meat,  make burgers, cook fries, mini corndogs, make milkshakes, wah really missed it a lot loh.. n can work with frens even more shuang loh, got me n jv Malaysians, caris Theresa booonhua charlene Singaporeans, PJ Thailand, Ina Yanka Antoniya Didi Bulgarians, maria laura Columbians, arial Taiwan, super fun loh.. the international team, haha.. that time me n jv got switched to work in backline(make burgers n fries) during our second week, then our restaurant immediately jumped to number 1 in the whole theme park loh… aiya the Americans also very lazy 1 la, cannot stand them, just know how to order ppl do this do that, ownself do then cannot do properly, haiz.. got 1 time we international students purposely take same day off, in the end the whole restaurant was in a mess loh, dai sei la want bully us..

 

Haha, working in backline is much more fun than in frontline, can 偷吃 burgers fries milkshake, can relax when no orders, can chat with frens, dun need interact with customers.. but more oily n hot lo, n cooking the meat during peak hours can die also 1 loh.. lunch hours is also super stress cos always running out of meat de.. sometimes cook meat too raw/ overcooked also will get complained by customers.. but still very fun la can cook..

 

last year le, no more Work n Travel this time cos really no money liao haha.. n abit sien liao still go same places to travel.. but for those who haven’t been to this programme, really must try la, very fun de.. if not fun come find me, haha.. Ting yi will be leaving for Alaska this Sunday, envy him leh can go, think he will have lots of fun over there.. will miss him abit la, cos 1 person less to nag at me, haha… duno whether he will become fat when he comes back leh, wahaha.. Bon voyage la, tingyi~~

happy labour day

Wah, just came back from another tiring hall 12 floorball, will probably be my last few le, so have to cherish more, play til drop only leave haha.. But today I was more tired than usual cos I didn’t sleep the whole night!! Stayed up til morning then went out the whole day, only slept 1.5 hours after coming back in the evening and went straight for floorball, faint.. But overall it was a very happy day la, hehe..

 

After watching ManU beat Barca 1-0(thanks to Paul Scholes), the weather was so hot that I just couldn’t fall asleep.. so watched 没有玫瑰的花店 n 我猜 til 9am lo, then went out to print my FYP poster @Bugis.. I tot that I would be only meeting my 4 ka jies, jv n qinghao, but in the end, saw Hui ling, jing yao and lu qing too.. wah, like mini sbs gathering loh haha.. very happy to see my 4 ka jies, ali changed her hair style(which she thinks make her look cuter wo, hmm..), wy still the same lo (super blur when we collecting money, haha..), ling jie n 158 no change loh (158 still so er xin with jv as usual la, haha).. The most surprised is to see Hui ling lo, since the start of FYP we only met twice lo, so we had alot to talk today haha.. Btw, she is the only 1 among all of us to have found a job lo, pro dao, at Wyett some more lo, salary very high lo (although might need to work shifts la).. The other 9 of us all still jobless lo, haiz..

 

Went to Sunshine plaza to print our poster for next Tuesday’s presentation, $10 per poster so ok loh.. wah, Ali’s poster is the nicest among the 10 of us la, her pictures all so pretty n colorful, the rest of us de all so plain, haha.. Think she might win the best poster award next tues loh hehe.. Wah, we also met qiuyun n shu yuan n lee khim n xiao yun at sunshine plaza too lo (but they print at different shop la), small small world.. Ate lunch while waiting for our posters to be printed n went to eat the famous 豆花 nearby.. din know grass jelly also serve like 豆花 1 wo here in Singapore, it looks exactly like ling(which ling liao ar?) loh=.=  shared 豆花 with huiling, she says she is getting fat?! Hmm, why gals always say they getting fat when they are all so skinny 1 ar? dun understand leh haha=.=

 

Collected our posters around 1 n it was about time to leave le.. the gals went shopping lo(except 158), me n jv came back hall lo, too tired le.. qinghao n jing yao still had to go back lab loh, sien diao.. think my poster not bad la, have to thank my mentor Dileep n supervisor Curt Davey too for their help lo.. I very cin cai 1, as long as nice n simple can le, dun need too fancy 1, so quite happy with mine lo haha.. today can meet my ka jies, huiling, n the other guys also very happy.. at night can play floorball also very happy..

 

But now really going to drop dead le, ZZZZZzzzzz… still need watch Chelsea-Liverpool later =.=
