4.2.05
dragged myself out of bed at 0730 this morning...
really really wanted to sleep more...
but couldnt...
had bazaar duty this morning...
and as a person who stays in PGP...
i probably shouldnt be late...
i thot i was...
but no one was around...
so i stared at the booth for a little while...
allowed myself to wake up a little...
before frantically smsing the rest about wat to do...
but no one replied...
except justin who was supposed to join me in this slot...
he came slightly late...
but he was definitely more chatty and funny this morning...
willingly let me cheat him of one bag of marshmellows...
which i declined for a lunch treat instead...
thats for leaving me all alone at the stall..
setting up by myself...
but his antics definitely brightened up the gloomy morning already...

i think friends are a very important part of one's life...
remember how very happy i was on monday...
after bumping into a number of havent-seen-in-a-long-time friends...
and having lunch with my JC klassmates...
being in lecture with few of my bestest pals...
i was practially skipping away...
felt happy...

it was mommy's bday yesterdae...
made my way home...
got her a nice bag from the bazaar..
which she promised to use...
pretty bunch of roses from the florist...
yellow-red...
with lotsa nice smaller ones...
put it in the bag and hid the thing behind the couch...
but she found it anyway...
should see her face...
it simply lit up...
that reaction made lugging the whole thing home entirely worth it...
somehow it feels damn good to have made someone else feel good...
especially someone close to heart...
it feels super...

but dinner wasnt that super...
thai express...
food was good...
everyone enjoyed their dinner...
but i think i ordered a tad too much...
having mamuang salad...
fish laksa and tomkhagai...
and mango rice and red ruby dessert...
the soup, appertiser and desserts shared...
but it was still freaking alot...
12 hours on...
and i'm still recovering from the over eating...
*burp*
went back home for the mango cake i bot for mum somemore...
*double burp*
but just glad that she was happy...
just that the whole thing has left me pretty broke...

that and fund transfer to my dad...
kinda offered to pay for my own hostel...
since i dun wanna stress their finances...
especially when it comes to my university expenses that run 4 figures...
like hostel...
thats probably the only thing actually...
coz the fees are paid through CPF...
so that isnt too bad...
i guess it's alwaz good to have spare cash on hand...
something we alwaz dont have...
ironic that despite that...
i'm still getting a monthly from them...
but oh well...
not working...
cant do much about it...
though i probably would work during the sem break...
maybe forgo whatever trips i had planned...
put back what i have been draining the past year...
though i wonder who would actually want to employ me...

have had bad experiences on most of my temp jobs the past year...
tuition centre ended ugly...
meridian was alrite...
though it was hard keeping ur cool in front of kids less than 2 years younger...
trying to act grown up and all...
milk was interesting...
but even more stressful trying to act cool and grown-up in the creative line...
my favourite mantra...
"clients are ALWAYS hard to please...stop trying..."
wonder what kind of job i'll get this year...
hope it's something fun...
no call centres...
...i'll probably slam the phone on the caller...
no waitressing...
...i'll probably pour minestrone soup on the customer...
no sales...
...i'll probably tell the girl her butt looks big in those jeans...
(coz mine do in those...)
hard to please?
the kind of person who will never get a job?
get me something that makes use of my brain please...
actually i like brainless work too...
not thinking can sometimes be very enjoyable as well...

i'm blogging so much now...
coz i'm still alone at the booth...
justin went for tutorial...
and vivien who was supposed to be here...
is not here...
and darren who was supposed to deliver the money box has not come as well...
i'm so glad i brought my lappy...
if not i'll probably have to stare at the back of my hand...
i want to go back to sleep...
damn freaking tired...
slept at 3 plus last nite...
and woke at 7 plus this morning...
wheres the logic?
that's less than 4 hours of sleep clocked...
*need sleep*

NTU open tomorrow...
just hope seletar reservoir will be fun...
and that i dont get eaten up by the crocodiles that mingle mailed us about...
