SG i

i went to see Singapore Idol- the wild cards.

with an unnumbered ticket. meaning, we get to sit in a holding area watchin a mute TV screen while waiting for the staff to confirm whether we can go in the auditorium to view it in the true LIVE manner.

and we were given a SGI lanyard as a token of appreciation(?)... i mean, who wants to watch a mute tv screen after making the effect to go to ulu caldecott hill? when u can stay in the comfort of ur home, righT?!


LUCKY, we got to enter in the end. and were seated among a troop of matilda's fans and family. they. were. very. loud.

deafening. ear drums were in a state of painful shock.



oh... i LOVE Gayle's voice! too bad primero's singing talents cant match his face.=(

i think i am sad

how to judge whether people had been busy during tep?

the frequency and length of their blog entries being updated can tell you that. of course its not a fool proof way. but i think... i wont be wrong to say that totally.


my group members made history. they caused the absence of the grad video during this yr's ceremony.


i duno what they think of themselves. being history makers and all. being creative and passionate only about what they like. doing an ugly piece of work just coz the concept they didnt like. and only puttin effort after gettin screwed.





personalities clash.

1. go to mango sale. go there look also i happy.
2. go to bugis. ditto the comment.
3. go to kbox. must get my fix of k-ing.

PRE-poly forum

all righty, what happened after 2 days of pre forum activites?

get aquianted to 60 plus ppl PLUS u r given a whole new meaning and dimension to life.

and be even extra busy. and grp leader's name happened to be ALEX too. a compleete eagle. a perfectionist-eagle. a maria-type eagle.


i wonder should i be happy or sad.

but overall, i think my sub -sub team quite pro. HAHAHAHAH.


and my TEP group totally pales in comparision. i am gonna make sure we work some miracles out...=)

no man is an island.

ATC. Am.Team.Camp

Hi, people. my name is eve. i am in Yr 3, studyin DMSM. what about you?

that was how i started my second ateam camp. as one of the facilitators.


actually it started way before hand. we went one day early coz we were the facs... the ones who r gonna prepare all the fun for the campers.

we get to sleep early on the first night! guess who went to sleep first... no prizes for guessin right though. Ha.


if the expecatations r low, u r less likely to be disappointed... so i guess i am not disappointed in the camp. At all. its like so mega fun! i like being a facilitator, hanging with the blue shirts, coz they happen to be SoOOoO simply funnyy.

we cant finish dinner coZ we spent too much llufffing away.


and i made ice milo with orange flavoured ice cubes. they r SOOoO nice. they drank it just to ... keep their promise. avoid letting me down. feel a bit touched.=)


the grp of us had war paint on our face as part of a crazy idea for our performance. VERY funny.
and i spoilt my specs in the process. the right side of the frame BROKE. broke it as i crouched down on the way to hide myself from the campers before the perfomance.

will be making new ones soon!


and there is a kind of misguided pleasure in watchin people eat a big slice of watermelon without spoon or hands. HAH.


i was so very lazy after the camp to take the public transport. so i just tried callin my brother to fetch me. and he did!!!!!!!!! *omg. i am shocked. i am touched by his nice-ness. coz his workplace isnt that on-the-way.

n i had 5 missed calls from him just coz that i couldnt recognise the ringing sound whic came from my phone. n he still called me til i answered. So Nice.


there is so many ppl to be thankful to... maria for treatin breakfast. the campers for being enthu( altho they r highly competitive). the people who r so funny to be with... take a loooonng time if i were to name them individually, so i better dun start.


n i am an eagle.=)

=(????

i am NOT lookin forward to camp cause i am scared of what could go wrong.

the pessimist in me rears it big, fat, ugly head once again. yesh, i do get scared. more scared than anticipation.

to the powers above, help mi to enjoy this camp, will ya?


the feelin of being scared is becoming more and more often. since when did i become so afraid of ... things? y cant i just go ahead and chase after what i want... initiative~, i thought i had you in me.

in the end, practicality wins. the cons definately deter me from doing what i hoped to do.... there will always be things i will never say... never do.

leaviNG

ateam camp is this weekend.

pre-forum camp is next weekend.


i am awaiting in anticipation. sort of. i just hope i dun drop dead from the lethargy.


blk M. is so ... cool. i am acting like a star-struck teenager. but blk M reallly is cool compared to studio A. it smells like a newly built building. the cement-ie and conrete-ie and paint-ie smell... sOOoO NEW.


the newbies at PM r so totally cannot make it. was i ever like them? as bad as them? i really think they suck lor. did someone think of me the same way when i was a newbie too?

but. i think i have come a long way. it seems to me i had just ask those same questions they asked not so long ago. and now i can just answer them without missing a beat. and give them correct answers at that.

second nature can be constructed so easily... or is it because i am just so adaptable ? ha.

another friend will be quiitting in a matter of weeks. i wonder what can make me stay there.


going to broadcast next week!@!@!@!@!

buzz carnival

i only brought 3 items to buzz carnival.

maxine brought a Large bag of it. kelly's bag was medium. i think mine is XXS. HAH.


after the 5 hours of sitting there... our sales came only in the first hour. only 2 sales. i sold off my MNG basic for $8. and used it buy a set of accessories from Middle East for $5.

SoooOOO cheap. i got it from just when they were packin to leave.


anyway. its a good experience. fun even. too bad its not in the atrium. would be even more fun if the crowd is significant.

currently the desktop i am using is semi spoilt. no MS Office even. my brother will get a new comp ba... and the new digicam is here!!!!!!!!!!

a long day.

its been a long day.

in front of the comp with rachel. lunch break. watch video. back to the comp. and finally THE meetin with mr seah and mr tan. and then Work.and then home and blogging.


today shall be memorable since i think its the first time that our work isnt trash to the ones who matter most importantly. i guess this is the sense of euphoria u get when u get approval, acceptance from your clients.


i guess i cant change the way people think of me, but i will be trying.

Pre -U seminar.

TUESDAY~ BIG day.

the fortunate few of us from ATEAM were lucky enuf to be chosen for poly forum and subsequently the Pre-University Seminar.

we took cab from climenti. courteusy from the SAOffice, of course.

there, we met the equivalent of ATEAM. duno what they r called. and an overly-enthusiatic girl who frightened all of us. no kiddin... she even frightened Ms lina. she sounds so hyper and quite comical. professional doesn come to mind. at all.

so we were ushered into the LT-27. they claimed its gonna start soon. how soon is soon. only abt 1/2 an hour later.-.- so much for rushing us.


Poly students dun need wear blazers, we were labeled under guests.

and Mr Gan's speech was informative and relatively entertaining. but cannot tahann. towards the end, ( 40 mins later ) i had to start resisting yawns.

then the Q and A session. JC ppl r so different... from me. so smart. so differed perspective. they gave off an aura of intelligence. haaai. but they speak in slangs and use complicated manners to convey simple ideas.

since we were guests. we were VIP. what a kick. ( me ? a VIP? so laughable.) they had procelain plates. and some jc students to pick the food of us. they had bite sized cakes, brownies, and even ICE CREAM elcairs. and also sushi... and boooths just for mee sian and some traditional pastries.

wahhh. i am easily impressed.

and i must say that the SAOs , the ones i met personnally ... are ALL SO NICE! so afffadable.



then i finished up my assignments for the fashion thinggy at far east plaza. so i had the waffle on the way.HAH. and i finally got my wedge. totally to die for. cause its so damm high that i can die walkin on it. and a guess wallet going at $30. a must-buy. even the cashier said its a good buy. *=)

i didnt splurge!

reached home quite early.so i decided to entertain my mother a bit. by talkin to her in my CMI hokkien. its so funny to her that she even called my auntie and ask me to talk to her in hokkien.i know i sound funnny. it just doesnt sound natural... so fake. HAH. it IS funny.

albert schweitzer : happiness is the key to success. if you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

i was made IC of the xiang qi event. felicia was my AIC. overall, i think she played a more important role than me. it was she who went to the ( 2H) briefing... i am lucky to be paired with her.


whats with me and foood?

maybe in my past lives i was REALLY VERY short of food and money... therefore i am the way i am now. most happy with the presence of monee and food.

the whole ateam now know my weakness for food.HAHAHHA. how can u still stay slim with the way u eat? i can't! i was slimmer before. lol.


i even met up with SH after the whole day event. my feet is totally multilated after the day. blistered. bruised. bloodied.

but the ice cream was very enjoyable. worth it.

the face of the waiter was priceless when i told him both ice cream sundaes are mine... ( by mistake). pure, unhidden shock and surprise. bet he is thinkin, is she for real? TWO sundaes by herself?! she not afraid of gettin FAT?


a LOL moment. a routine when i go swensons. there somehow MUST be a lol moment. lets see will this trend continue or not.

random pics at the kelly poon's concert

kelly poon concert

monday: KELLY POON'S CONCERT!

the gathering time was 8.30 AM and surprisingly almost 90 % of the helpers involved, reached.
what a far cry from our batch. always late and draggin the time.

busied with the preparation and briefing. but since i was just invloved with the backstage, i was pretty free to slack. HAH.


but i had to walk up and down quite a few times to get pen, to get lanyard , to slack etc etc, that i suddenly know i would miss walkin on the walkways once i grad. or once this sem is finished.=(


KP really become more and more pretty! guess once u r famous u just tend to become prettier? so slim. so friendly. and what a big autograph she had.

overall, there was hardly any glitch. HAPPILY. fortunately. it was fun. watchin from the sidelines. listenin to her sing life.


i can do this for a living.

at night, went to see doc. and he just happened to ask wat sort of carreer i wanted. so i could ans without hestitation, events managment. he gave me encouragement BUT... i could sense a but coming up. (" events management...? not for long term, girl... what happens when u become a mother? start a family? no family time! is this what u want?)

no one can predict future, takin whatever he says with a pinch of salt.


but i did feel immensely satisfied after the event was over. even tho i only played a small role and played with the intercom mostly. HAH.


sunday:( previous sunday's) SINDA duty.
the highlight was the desert that we could hardly wait to get our hands on! so nice to see, so delicious to eat... too bad it was TOO short in supply.HA. indian kids r so pretty and for once, i feel like a minority.

Busy as a bee

i still cough occasionally...


i just finished giving out one hundred surveys to students at the School of Chemical Life Sciences. that's something usually under rachel's territority and today i done it with the other girls. and there is another 500 hundred to go.

i must say that the lecturer was so friendly and i am so lucky to bump into siyan!=)
a HUGE thank-you to all of them!

yesterday had a A-team GM which made my life more events-ful. like literately. gonna be Camp Facilitator!!!!!!!! *yaY! i like! sounds exciting.


despite some of the new batch like so... nua-nua one. HAHHA. hope i am wrong. i know i will haf a great time there. can tell that the ex-co r quite stressed and pushed by VP. she is a certified slave driver when it comes to work. and we all respect her for it. but i am glad i am not there.=)


and there is some severe policticking going on whether its done unconsciously or what.


next monday will be at Kelly Poon's concert! *yay again! something i like again!! wHAHHAHA. at the backstage. with TEP excuse letter and guiding the junoirs around. what more can i ask foR? and i must, i must take loads of pics!

my first ateam duty coming up at the suntec city this sunday. FIRST! after about one year of non-official duties with the club. this must be the most dubious record around.

and i am gonna ask PM to upped my pay to a more decent level... if they say no? then i can really just devote time to tep , ateam and friends =) and screw them! !!!!!

what else is there to talk abt?
jeffrey and marlo? the lastest BIG trend to go around in TEP. no one ever says "jeffrey" or "marlo" by itself. it ALWAYS "jeffrey and marlo" like its some cousin of Dolce and Gabanna or Charles and Keith.

they are actually our technicians (?) who were introduced to us in pair. one year ago. and i cant differenciate them til today.


Poly Forum coming up!

World Bank Conference! ( can i please go... tho it clashes with the forum=(( )

NYP Graduation!

and NAPFA!

so i am not burned out. and the analysis sounds like me! so i am just plain tired. =(

the good in people

everyone is nice once u get to know more in depth abt the person.

but its so hard to NOT give snap judgement isnt it?


and we finish watchin my lovely sam soon! the show gets more and more sappy towards the end, less and less funny. i still prefer the jang nara's kai lang shao nu cheng gong ji.=)

friend.s

how do we clique so well?=)




girls at worK ( orientation)... i mean, pose.

i like the lighting. purely.

its like a family gathering!!! thanks to the kind man who helped us take this.

dinner time

YAY!

going to dinner with my family later... so hard to find time, now tht i am slavin over at PM...
feel like a zombie whenever at PM. the steps i take seemed especiallly laborious yesterday. cause it was after my FORMAL presentation...

which reminds me... MR SEAH WEE THYE!

did i spell it right?

he, a man of crushing words, who gave us the word of the month... SINK, has given us a severe culture shock, after 2 years of being cocooned by vivien cheong. all right... its OK, whatever dun kill us makes us stronger.

there is no way to go except up when u r down at the bottom.


right, back to family dinner which i guess is to celebrate the mothers' day.

i hope i dun go to the same place all over again. sian 1/2. eat the same thing. endure the same non existent service... reallly sian 1/2.


and the feedback session with SSL for the broadcast grp. trust kaidi to come up with an analogy involving nasi lemak and chicken rice...* smirk.

exasperated

i am worried for myself.

wish i am ultra comp savvy. so i can rescue my world. *oh whateVer. people should ask for help when help is better than struggling on their own. regardless of gender.


depressin life at TEP.


but Jalan Kayu was fun. it looked like it could rain but it didnt. had a cheese prata and egg&onion complete with MILO-dinosaur and bad service. me, maxine, kelly, yiting, jiali, kk, alex and syazwan. had a jolly good time. except for the part when ahmad took video of the girls' boobies.



in my opinion, we didnt take enuf pictures! pictures no enuff!



now it makes it only the second time i've been there.



then that guy from the net showed up. i didnt expect anything. was not expecting anything. no expectations then no disappoinments.


cool. he is not a sicko. a normal average guy. who is lookin for a gf, i guess. but too bad i am not lookin for a bf ... not really anyway.( not him!) lol. and i made him gave us all woodlanders a free ride. HAH.



weee~! so i had another friend at the end of the day. and he is a total computer-whiZ. maybe he can save my group's hopeless HTML website....

i wish

min is learning jap professionally. not like me, already return everything to cher.


just now, some guy thrust some contact lens brochure to me... and to my shock , it was my senoir when i was workin as the promoter. couldnt remenber his name on the spot. but at least i got his school right. after ten minutes, i remenbered his name is Max. but already too late. ( or is it alan? should be max...)


what a coincidence. i am still in semi-shock.


tep is challenging, to say the least. with the team dynamics and work load...



my friendster profile dun really attract guys to me. i dun get those i-want-2-b-friends-with-u messages often. but now, i get it back to back and the scariest thing is... they r all from the same sch.... NUS. NUS!!!!!!


*faint. my ex was from NUS.

l.o.ve at 1st sight

i think i believe that if u like someone... u dont haf to take long to realize that you r attracted to that someone.

you just instinctly know tht he or she is that special someone, right?


as people ard me break up... i also noe of friends who r hitched to people they only knew not too long ago.


if relationship is based on superficial reasons and no genuine understanding of person is involved in the first place, will it last? maybe. who knows. even i can ans my rhetorical question. but if its rhetorical... ans aint required.



then again, that is what love at first sight is all about. ... yes? no?
