Feeling lethargic

It's my rest day today! Initially I wanna meet my mum and alter the clothings that I've bought from HK but she's unwell so I stayed at home instead. Been either using my laptop surfing net or sleeping. Haha! What a pig! I know! It's time for me to catch up with some sleep after I'm back from HK you know. And I slept for the whole afternoon today. Good... I wonder how I'm going to sleep tonight. Will be out tomorrow! Bye!

Last Day + Review

Last Day
Ok on my last day there, we went to shop at Central. Supposingly we wanted to shop at Pedder Building because from what we researched, there's alot of factory outlets but it turned out to be something different. So we shopped for less than half an hour and left the building. And you know what I found? H&M is located just opposite this building! Didn't know that there's so much to shop at H&M. My whole family except for my grandma actually got ourselves something. Haha! And I got the most items there! 4 bottoms and a top! And all these add up to less than S$100. That is so cheap right! Hahaha! Omg I'm so so excited when I was shopping in there because there's simply too many nice clothings. It's something like Zara kinda clothes but it's cheaper, quality wise, I would say both are as good. After shopping, we returned back to our hotel and off to airport already.

Well I really enjoyed myself from this trip. Life can never be as good as that. Damn shiok! Why? I'll list down for you to have a look. Haha!

1. Woke up at 3am to get ready to head to airport. Simply excited!
2. We booked a maxi cab because it's big enough to take in 6 people and our 2 huge luaggages. Heh! My first time taking a maxi cab though.
3. We stayed in a suite! For some reasons, that's why we can stay in the suite plus they're actually offering a good price. So all in all, we benefited because it will usually costs at least $200 more than the offered price.
4. After coming back to the hotel from our outing, my mum and I will catch the show "就想賴著你" from youtube using their desktop computer till 1-2am. Haha! Mad! And I can be shopping, blogging and facebook-ing every night!
5. Breakfast is provided at the hotel. This means that I can enjoy the buffet! Haha! Never in HK hotels do they provide breakfast unless it's 5 star hotel I think but ours is just 4 star so good enough though the variety of food is pretty limited.
6. Took cable car, ferry and their bullet train. Damn shiok and cool!
7. Been eating all the nice and good food there so it's time that I have bread for lunch already. Haha!
8. Got myself at least 10 clothings from this trip! =)

I will add on to the list when I can think of something else...

Review
Weather- The weather in HK is pretty cold though because the temperature went down to about 15 degrees at night. In the day time, it's just cooling so I'm free to wear anything I like, just have to bring a cardigan along and it's good enough.

In the hotel room itself, the air-con is freaking cold! No matter how high I adjust the temperature, it's still as cold and I'm like shivering all the time unless I switch off the air-con. This makes me reluctant to come out from bathing. Haha!

Food- Food is HK is definitely good but it's not cheap at all, at least S$7 at shopping mall food court. Their serving is big so we only ordered 3 main dishes and shared among ourselves. Dessert is awesome too! It's a must to try!

Shopping- It's my shopping paradise! Haha! But but but.... it's not cheap as well so better save up more if I wanna go HK again! And it's a must to visit H&M. Reasonable prices, fashionable clothings and accessories and off good quality materials as well!

Pictures will be up soon after I upload! Probably this Friday! =)

Today
Well I woke up at 6.30am for work though I got home at 1am yesterday but I rather work today than having to take leave and work on Saturday. Haha! Not so bad afterall because I managed to catch some sleep on the bus when travelling to work.

4th Day!

Whole day out again! And we visited the Ocean Park today! Part of the mountain area is used to build this Ocean Park so certain rides allow you to view the beautiful scenery. Rides like rollar coaster is gonna be damn scary when you look down and yeah I challenged myself to take that ride. There are 3 rounds of 360 degrees turn ok. Scared the hell out of me! Probably I won't take such thrilling rides anymore. Omg can't believe I'm actually afraid of height. Haha! There's actually nothing much there maybe because they're in the midst of upgrading the theme park or something. After that we went to take a ferry down to watch the "Symphony of Light" at Tsim Sha Tsui. Well it's not as beautiful as what I've watched 4 years ago, kinda dissapointed but my main aim of travelling there is to shop at Sogo. There are lots of nice stuffs there but they're all too pricey so I didn't get anything for myself. Back to hotel after that!

3rd day!

Today we visit Victoria Peak! Nothing much actually just that you get to see the beautiful scenery at the peak. No photos taken because it's quite misty though. We did some shopping at the mall itself and I got myself a simple top from Hard Rock Cafe. Not expensive at all so it's worth buying and furthermore Singapore has got no Hard Rock Cafe boutique. Afterwhich we went back to hotel to rest before heading out to the temple street, just like a pasamalam. Haha then I got myself 2 pairs of safety shorts. It's so freaking cheap ok! Just S$8 only! Hopefully it can last me though. Heh! Ok we're heading to Ocean Park tomorrow. It's gonna be an exciting day!

2nd day in HK

Wheee.... Been out for the whole day today! We went to "Da Yi Shan" to see the largest bronze statue of the Buddha in the world. And we took a cable car up! Pretty cool though. Haha! Beautiful sceneries and you can get to see the whole view of the airport. Pictures will be up when I'm back to Singapore. Heh! After that we went to shop at citygate mall. It's a mall of factory outlet with all the different brands. Espirit, Club 21, Armani Exchange, Nike, Puma, Adidas, Levis, Mango etc... And of course I got myself something! Hah! A top again from CK. It's very cheap as you know it's factory outlet, definitely a good buy. And also there's a change in our hotel suite because the suite that we're staying was booked previously by a newly wed couple but I think the management overlooked this matter. So now we're staying in a new suite which I think it's better than the previous one because they have more facilities such as oven, PS2, stove.

I'm in HK now!

Wondering why I still can blog now? Haha! There's internet access and a desktop in the hotel itself. That's so cool right? Lol! I'm even staying in a suite now with 2 bedrooms! So excited can! I've never stayed in a suite before so this will be my very first time, with a big living room and at least a 32" television. Shiok to the max! Haha! But I don't really like the location here. You know why? It's like just beside the cemetery. WTH right? It's town area though. Well at least you couldn't see the cemetery from the view of my room so I'm fine with that. Heh! Did some shopping yesterday and I've bought 2 tops already which costs me nearly S$100. Yes it's pretty expensive but I doubt the brand can be found in Singapore. The things here are expensive, no doubt at all. Hah! Ohh and the weather here is cooling! 17 degrees please! And I never bring any long sleeve top with me except a cardigan but luckily I brought 2 pairs of jeans. It's pretty cold at night though. Till here for today! =)

Weee.... I'm going HK tomorrow night! No should say midnight because I need to wake up at 3am to get ready. Haha I'm so excited! But still I have to work tomorrow. My parents have taken leave tomorrow already so means they don't have to work. Great! >.<

Ok talking about working, I'm starting to like the environment there already, as in the people there. I have nice colleagues and that includes the construction workers who are working for this company as well. Haha they're funny people ok!

Overview of this week

Finally it's the end of my first week of working. Phew... so tired but time passes pretty fast because my every day working life is wake up, work, back home, bathe and eat and 2 hours of time left for myself to do my own things before I go to sleep. How sad huh? But I think this is the real working life, better get used to it now. Well having worked for a week, I've learnt much though, as in the skills on drawing and rendering. It's so much different from what we learnt in school. What we learnt in school is just the basic so yup there's still alot more for me to learn from them. A simple and small drawing, I can re-colour it for at least 5 times ok. So yup from here, you can see that they have a really high expectation for their standard of work. Ok enough of work. I shall stop complaining so much because I just knew some of my friends who have a longer or same working hours as me so no more reason for me to complain. Hah! Should consider myself lucky to be working under air conditioned environment. =)

Omg I can't believe that I'm going HK next Friday (ok I consider it to be thursday night). I still do not have the holiday mood. Heh! Soon! Pretty excited though because I'm going to pack my bag tomorrow and probably bringing my laptop along as well since I can surf net at the hotel. =)

Today I've been out for the whole day. Went to get my nails done with my mum and afterwhich, we headed to orchard for a short shopping trip before going home. I bought a sequined white top from Mphosis! Heh! Mphosis is my new love now! As in clothing brands. I got home back for less than half an hour and I'm out again to meet my friend. Went to send my friend's parents at the airport and we went to shop after that. So today we shopped at tampines! Haha east side area is never one of my shopping choices, as in location wise. And you know what, I've been eating all the good food today! Have been eating sandwich everyday for lunch this week, time for me to pamper myself with some good food! Haha!!!

Why need OT?

I seriously don't understand why I need so much of OT. It's not as though they need my work urgently or I did not finish my work on time (in fact, there's no limit of time given for my work). Now I need to work on Saturday, not half day by the way, it's normal working days hour. What is this? I don't believe I need to work this hard when I step out to the society and work so don't bother explaining to me that you all are preparing me for the real working life. And 7pm knocking off together? Then why am I the only one who left at 7 while the rest is still working? Ok I shall stop complaining about that already. But seriously I don't wanna work on Saturday please. Really no life! Even if you don't need time for yourselves but I need you know. I don't mind working longer on weekdays but please spare me my weekends. It's all that I'm asking for. Is it too much I wonder?

First day of attachment

If you wanna read this post, please bear with my ranting. Haha! Maybe it's no big deal to certain people but it's big deal to me. Pardon me please!

Today is my first day of attachment and I'm late for 10min! Wth! I left my house 1hr20min before the starting time of my work and I don't know why I'm still late. That means I have to wake up earlier tomorrow morning. And you know what? I have to work until 7pm everyday! That's super late can. All my friends can happily knock off at 5.30pm while I have to wait till 7pm. No matter what time I start, I still have to work till 7pm before I can go. Seriously horrible! OT everyday! Though I'm paid for OT but I would rather leave earlier please. Arghh! If that's the case, I can't meet my friends after work for dinner and shopping. How sad ok! You know why they want me to work till 7pm? Because all of them are knocking off at 7pm so might as well I work till 7pm. What a "good" reason they gave! Omg I don't know how I'm able to survive like this for 6 months which is 24 weeks. Counting down makes no use at all. Stupid idea!

Anyway regarding what work I did today, I did drawings and rendering as well. I have to design water features such as walls and ponds. Well one day itself isn't enough to finish designing + drawing + rendering so I can take my time to do anyway. I'm still not exposed to all the work there yet, they want to expose me to all the work there first before deciding on which area I should work on permanently. Hopefully not designing please, not my strength at all. Haha! I have pretty friendly colleagues so that's the good thing about working there with all the beautiful water features and ponds. Pretty relaxing as well because you'll be hearing the water sounds from water features as you are working. Everything is good except for the location and working hours.

Permed my hair

Permed my hair, it's not really the effect I want though but I think once my hair is longer, it'll be nicer. All thanks to my mum who kept asking the aunty to cut shorter. WTH! Because I just permed it so it's a bit curly and definitely not the shape I'm looking for but after it grows longer and some time later, maybe it will be the kind of effect that I'm looking for already. No picture of my hair first but will let you have a look on what I want. Heh! There you go! Guess you should all know who this pretty actress is!

Friday, March 05, 2010

Wondering why I've been blogging so often? Haha I've no idea too, maybe just have the urge to blog about it. Ok I spent my afternoon today with Yijie before she's leaving Singapore for her attachment. I'll see you soon and will definitely remember to get you a gift from HK! Enjoy yourself! =)

Thursday, March 04, 2010

Went shopping today with my lovely girlfriends. Haha! It's been a long time since we shopped together, all thanks to the projects and assignments. Didn't get much things for myself today except spending most of the money on food. Heh! But actually I bought a small little sticker from artbox and it's for absorbing the radiation, eg, handphone, laptop, television etc. I find it pretty useful therefore I bought it as well as Jiahui. Haha and it's very cute and cheap ok. If it's effective, maybe I will go get more, in the meantime, just handphone alone since I'm carrying it with me very often. Ok back to shopping, I managed to control myself from spending on clothings so that's a good sign. Yes my HK trip will be on priority first. Anyway today will be the last day we're meeting before the start of our attachment. So sad right? But still will arrange for a meet up soon! =)

My working place

I went to visit my working place this morning. I wanna familarise with the place before my actual internship starting next monday. Ok travelling time is aproximately 1 hr long journey, not so bad. Luckily I make a trip down today if not I will end up late next monday because according to my friend, I can take 169 to my working place but ended up at the wrong place. Haha but is alright lah, at least I found out today. So I travelled back to the interchange and change bus. Kk all these are not the main point for updating my blog today. The main point is..... I CAN GO TO HONG KONG! Yeah! Congrats me! Hahha! The lady sounds as though even if I'm away for a week is still alright as long as I repay back the number of working days being affected by working extra, maybe on saturday. And also I get to know what my jobscope is like as well as dress code too. I'm actually attached to their sales department therefore I'll be working in the office most of the time, if not still it's indoor. Haha! And I can wear anything except shorts and they will provide me with t-shirt. Sounds pretty good right? The place is pretty desserted because it's all industries and I doubt I can get my lunch from anywhere, be prepared to bring my own food.

Ohhh yess! Couldn't imagine that I can go because all along I never expect them to approve you see. Ok I can start thinking what I wanna get in HK. My mum says that if you buy cosmetics from there, it will be cheaper from what you get in Singapore. K I shall save for my trip and stop buying first. Heh! Should I perm my hair this week? Actually at first I wanna perm it next week if I'm able to go HK, now that I know already, should I go perm it? Haha! No difference though between this week and next week. Ok maybe should see if I'm able to sell anything this week. Have already sold 2 items! Yeah! =)

life

Hello, I'm back again. Haha! Now I've got more free time to update my boring blog. Okok can't believe that I'm 20 now, like seriously please. I'm so not ready for adulthood you know. Because I cannot be as carefree anymore and there will be much more stuffs for me to worry about. Haiz... I shall treasure the time I have in poly now. Life is really different when you grow up because things are changing, be it the people around you or the environment. I've really no idea where I wanna go to after I graduate. I can't see the route or future that's ahead of me now which really worries me. It's time that I should give a serious thought on what I wanna do in future and work towards it. That should be one of my goal now.

Today I went out with Shirley for shopping. Didn't spend much though because I wanna save up money to perm my hair and that will be my first priority before I could even think of buying anything. Somehow I think my hair style now doesn't suits me and it's time for me to change before my mum starts her nagging again. Bought a notebook today from artbox, it's for attachment purpose. It's super cute and cheap ok. Haha pictures below (right). Left: gift from Shirley! <3
