Final update before NS.

Hey.. I think this shall be the last update before i leave for NS on this friday and i'll only be back after two weeks of training. It seems that i've many things to blog out but when i face the comp, my mind is empty and i feel lost, so i think i'll simply keep my post short and simple.
Yesterday had a good time with Ziying. We went to Mediacorp for a short while before going Bugis to shop as Ziying wanted to ask for part-time job there. After that, we took bus to Bugis. Beeyan actually should be joining us but she last minute CMI, so only 2 of us continued our trip. Went to Waterloo Street Temple to pray before having our lunch. After that we walked past Bugis Street and we went to BHG to shop, not too much people there on that time as it was a weekday, actually i prefer shopping on weekends i prefer to see crowds everywhere. ;)
After BHG, we went to Virtualand Arcade and played some games. Then, we went to buy Ice-Cream and Ziying went home after that and i met Aloysius who wanted to meet up. :)
Two more days, just two more days and i'm going to face a totally different world. New environment, New mates, New lifestyle etc and i'm going to live with that for at least half year. Will I able to cope with the life and activities there? I really could not let go of my life now. Wanna work, find job. Money not enough, work OT. Wanna play, go Arcade. Wanna shop, meet up friends. Wanna use comp, go online. I'm really unable to let go of such carefree life and all the television programmes! I wonder how my life would be after coming out from NS.
I just hope that everything I do will go smoothly. Shall update again after two weeks. Take care peeps!

Life Update.

Its has been a while since i updated. The last update was actually before CNY, OMG - thats was long! My CNY was pretty boring though, its just simply ordinary. Only the 2nd day go uncle's house, the rest of the days stay at home. So actually i've nothing to blog for CNY. Heehee.
Anyway, i've been pretty busy recently as i was out meeting friends and shopping these few days. Went back to Far East Flora to collect my wages on Wednesday and was shocked that i could earn so much $ in two days, Haha, i've earned $128. The money was good but the job sucks. So i'll learnt a lesson, dont let the attractive salary fool you, there's no free lunch in this world.
There's exactly 7 more days to enjoy myself before i go NS and i do not wanna waste time rotting at home. I'll try to get wild and try out things that i've never tried before. Haha.
Stay tuned for my next post!

Life @ Far East Flora

Just wanna blog out what has happened the last few days in Far East Flora. Well, i received a call from them on monday and they asked me to work on tues at 8am to 6pm and they told me to ask more friends to join in as they needed much manpower and i asked how much was the hourly pay which is $6.50 and i thought the pay was alright. Then, i begun looking for people to join me for the job, asked Ziying but she's busy with her poly stuff, asked Ebian but he live too faraway so his parents dont agree, asked ChengLong who was rather busy with his ITE stuff, was unable to join me too, finally i asked Fiona, who was waiting for her poly to start, agreed to go with me on tues. We met at the Pasir Ris MRT control station and we took MRT to Novena and changed a bus in order to reach there, we reached there at about 7.45am.
FIRST DAY.
It was Fiona first time going there and it was my third time, so the place wasnt that alien to me, so first we reported to the office to look for the PIC Michael which is the Supervisor there, he gave cards to punch, i left my bag behind in the office and we started work immediately. At first, we were both in the same location and we were starting packing the flowers and pasting the price tags but soon Fiona and I were separated to different workplace, Fiona remained there in the packing room with some air-con while i was called to work at the store side which is outdoor, i was quite sad to be separated with her as i wanted to work together with her so that we could chat. My location was rather hot & stuffy as only a few boxes was blocking the sun, so u can imagine how hot was that place. But i remained calm and started packing the flowers, there were about 1000s and 1000s of flowers that were unpacked and i (alone) was supposed to pack all of them. At first, i was doing quite well but it was irritating that Michael kept watching and starring at me, he even thinks that i was slow and scolded me "SPEED UP, SPEED UP" in a very rude manner. I slow? I was fast, i guess he wasnt a good person, do not think twice before barking like a rude dog. I endured all his scoldings and i tried not to think too much of it, i just remained that speed without slowing down or speed up as i thought that my speed should be just right.
It was damn boring working alone there in the first morning. Why wasnt any people there? I thought that the pay was good and many people may want to work there but i'm totally wrong, none of the people came except for Fiona and I for the first morning. But in the afternoon after lunch, many people reported for work but most of them are young China girls about 15 of them and a few middle-age men. After lunch was quite okay, was not as boring as in the morning as i'm able to chat with the people who reported for work and Michael approached me and told me to stop bringing any people in as they have enough people. Time passes so damn damn slow that afternoon and i left immediately at 6pm sharp as i felt hungry and tired.
SECOND DAY.
I try to make this port short & simple. As usual I met Fiona and we travelled together. When we reached there,we proceeded to the same workplace and proceeded the same job like the day before but that day was busier than the day before as i have to move the new stocks around which is super duper tiring, that was not the main point for the day. The main point was that i found several red spots all over my hands! OMG! I guess mosquitoes were found there plus perhaps that i'm allergic to the flower pollens. After that incident, i dont feel like even continue this job cos CNY is approaching and i wanna face people in my greatest looks, i dont wanna face people with red spots all over my face and hands. After lunch, i told Michael the reason why and it was confirmed that yesterday was my last day.
There was a serious incident that happened yesterday late afternoon, there was a new guy who came and yesterday was his first day of work. He's somewhat mentally disabled but he's quite friendly and hardworking as he was sweating all the way while moving in and out the flowers without a word of complain but his speed was somehow slower than us because he has low IQ which most of us understand. It was quite unfortunate for him that day. He was actually criticised by Michael and being chased out of the workplace on the spot that day.
As his thinking is somewhat slower than others, he was actually oblivious to his surroundings, Michael, that uncouth dog, was actually paying attention to his working performance. Michael scolded him loudly for being so slow and asked him to punch card and leave immdiately. I can see that that guy wanted to continue his job and he left reluctantly. This clearly reflects what kind of person Michael is. Proud, Arrogant, Cold-Blooded and Uncouth. How can u simply chase a mentally disabled person away? Why dont u give him a chance? We can teach him slowly and i'm sure he can speed up eventually. This made me has a urgue to leave immediately as i cant stand his cruelness anymore, i've yet to see such a horrible supervisor.
Its was so lucky that i did not recommend this job to my friends as it wasnt a great job after all. I swore i wont step into that place anymore even if u pay me $10 per hour.
Thats it guys, i think this post is too long and i'm ending it here. :)

Life update

I'm simply like a free bird these few days as i've been going out alone the whole day since Thurs which is fun but most of the days i went to Bugis Arcade to play till very late, left there at around 9.30pm when most of the people left and reached home at around 10.15pm but the Arcade trips were thrilling and fun, although i'm alone, i dont feel lonely at all as the ambience there is simply fun and cool! I saw a notice there that buisness will go on as usual in CNY period (11am-12am) and i feel like going there at night. Haha.
Its already early feb and i think that time is really passing really fast! Omg, last than a month i'll going 4 NS le but i try not to worry and think too much of it first as i wanna enjoy the rest of these days first. Things to bring for NS has already packed so i just need to shave my head and ready to fight for it, although i'm feeling a bit scared.. I really hope that i'll come back safe & sound.
这首歌听了真的让我很想轰轰烈烈的谈一场恋爱.

2010 Stars Award Nominees.

The Stars Award 2010 nominees had been revealed and i'm extremely not sastified with the results - seriously. Some nominees should not be in the list at all, total disappointment...
Best Actor
Brandon Wong (黄炯耀) - Housewives' Holiday (煮妇的假期)
Chen Han Wei (陈汉玮) - Daddy at Home (企鹅爸爸)
Dai Yang Tian (戴阳天) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Elvin Ng (黄俊雄) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Tay Ping Hui (郑斌辉) - The Ultimatum (双子星)

Should Brandon be in the list? I dont tink so, his acting in Housewive' Holiday was totally fairly good. Isnt it weird when he actually can be nominated in the Best Actor category when he was not even nominated in any category before? I dont think so. Some other good actor that failed to be in the list is Christopher Lee in My Buddy. Chris acted the honest uncle very well.
I think Elvin's performance was better than Dai YangTian in Together but Tay Ping Hui was also good in The Ultimatum. So i hope either Elvin or Ping Hui can get this award. Not HanWei again please!
Best Actress
Ann Kok (郭舒贤) - Housewives' Holiday (煮妇的假期)
Chen Li Ping (陈莉萍) - Reunion Dinner (团圆饭)
Eelyn Kok (郭蕙雯) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Hong Hui Fang (洪慧芳) - Housewives' Holiday (煮妇的假期)
Jeannette Aw (欧萱) - Together (当我们同在一起)

Why is Chen LiPing nominated in such an old drama Reunion Dinner?? I dont understand why, why did not the judges place her in last year's Stars Awards? Fann acted well in The Ultimatum, Felicia acted very well in Baby Bonus and lastly Rui En in Happy Family. How come none of them is nominated? Jeanette is nominated in the Best Actress category again after losing to Joanne last year. I think Jeanette's role in Together wasnt a role that can show her acting talent, her role was rather plain and simple i thought. Congrats to Eelyn for being nominated in this category for Together but i really hope that she will get this award. :)
Best Supporting Actor
Darren Lim (林明伦) - My School Daze (书包太重)
Jerry Yeo (杨伟烈) - The Ultimatum (双子星)
Zhang Zhen Huan (张振寰) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Zheng Ge Ping (郑各评) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Zhu Hou Ren (朱厚任) - Reunion Dinner (团圆饭)

If they can place Zhu Hou Ren in this category for such an old drama Reunion Dinner, why can they place Nat in? For The Dream Catchers. Nat performance in that drama was rather commendable as his Mandarin has improved alot and his chemistry with Dawn was just great. Why cant u let Nat be in this category. Why??
Jerry acted the evil Rende very well in The Ultimatum and ZhenHuan acted quite well in Together too. I guess one of them may win.
Best Supporting Actress
Aileen Tan (陈丽贞) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Constance Song (宋怡霏) - The Ultimatum (双子星)
Hong Hui Fang (洪慧芳) - Together (当我们同在一起)
Paige Chua (蔡琪慧) - The Dream-catchers (未来不是梦)
Xiang Yun (向云) - Baby Bonus (添丁发财)

I guess these 5 actresses have what it takes to be nominated in this category but what happened to Kola Zhou Ying? Have they forgotten her performance in Together? She played the sickly lawyer HuiMin very well. How come the judges have forgotten her? I feel rather bad for her, i can see she worked very hard to improve her English for that show, but she's not nominated at last. Since HuiFang has already been nominated in The Best Actress Award, why dont thay give Kola a chance?? Well, Constance acted very well in The Ultimatum and i think her chance of getting this award is quite high.
Best Drama
Daddy at Home (企鹅爸爸)
Housewives' Holiday (煮妇的假期)
Perfect Cut 2 (一切完美2)
Reunion Dinner (团圆饭)
Together (当我们同在一起)

Best Drama Theme Song

Picture post! (梁文音autograph session @ T1)



These photos were taken on last friday when i went for 梁文音 爱 一直存在 autograph session on T1. Sorry guys for the lateness as i was out the whole day on sat & sun, so i dont have the time to update early. The photos were not taken very clearly as we were standing quite behind, but i tried to squeeze in so that i could take the photos nearer and clearer. These photos are the best quality, i exclude those that are blur. :)
As usual, Wenyin was late (all roadshows, auotgraph session etc are the same). We saw the notice that the autograph session starts at 7pm, as we were having dinner at TM, we intend to rush over at 7pm sharp, so that we do not have to wait for so long. So, when we reached T1, 1000s of people were already there, queuing for the autographs, lucky fans could even have a personal pic with Wenyin (SO Lucky!!). We waited and waited, Wenyin arrived at T1 at 7.30! We waited there for 30mins! All fans were just eager to listen to Wenyin's singing. Wenyin sung 三个愿望 and 爱 一直存在, she simply can sing live very well and most importantly she's super duper pretty and friendly! :)
After she sung the two songs, the autograph session started, I did not buy her album la, cos too many people, dunno what time then it will be my turn to go up stage. So after the queue proceeded to the stage, we went home.
Overall, i thought that it was a fun event, although we waited for 30 mins, at least we get to see Wenyin in person and to listen to her songs live. Last but not least, the venue was located at T1, very near to my house. I hope more events will be held there :p
Hey guys! Its the first day of feb, have a great and fruitful month ahead!!
