hello ppl sorry for not updating for the past week. was busy gaming and all. but i have to bring this up somehow. last wed, derrick gabriel and i were on the train towards outram park for our 1-day-stocktaking-at-vivocity's-giant-job. it was night shift and rick and i bought a tube of HALLS to make sure we dun sleep on the job. the trip was rather long and at aljunied we started talking and making fun of each other, then rick rolled his halls wrapper into a super tiny ball and threw it at me. lol then we started looking for it high and low but somehow we couldnt find it, coz its damn tiny and the train was moving. we searched for around 3mins and then we gave up looking for it.
then when the train left kallang, there was this middle aged man who sat opposite of us whose arm was full of tattoos. really alot of tattoos, so much that 80% of his skin colour was green, serious. he shouted across: U BETTER PICK IT UP NOW! then we looked at him, tried to find the wrapper and we told him we couldnt find it. then he said U BETTER PICK IT UP NOW BEFORE I GO OVER AND SLAP UR FUCKING FACE. when he said that, immediately i stopped searching, i picked up my handphone, played my games and whistled. then he went on shouting at us and he even came over to shout at us more. he said: I'M COMING TO SLAP UR FUCKING FACE. DUN U ACT LIKE HOOLIGANS.
wha come on, ok i know its our fault tt we threw it in the first place, but its not like we wanted to litter... we even made an attempt to find it dude. and then he got really angry and started telling us about being hooligans and how we shouldnt be like him. 3 of us really wanted to rebutt and just give a verbal kick slap to him in the face but we knew it wouldnt help the situation. so we just kept quiet. he shouted at us from kallang all the way to city hall damn it. come on, u r a middle aged guy who is trying to gain our respect by shouting at us and telling us not to be hooligans, but look at urself, hair as long as a girl, tattoos all over ur hand, using vulgarities at teenagers. u dun even deserve any1's respect. seriously he is a guy who cant even set a good example and be a proud figure of today's society and he is trying to tell us not to be hooligans. its like a prostitute telling a girl not to have casual sex. it makes me despise adults more. trying to act all mature without even realising that many teenagers can think better than they can.
on a lighter note, celebrated wenjun's bday last sunday at park mall's fish and co. honey meijun wenjun and i had a romantic 4 person dinner coz shing was in taiwan, weeyang had his sister's concert and nic had to book into tekong or sth. lol and fish & co really has a unique way of celebrating birthdays. the staff will come together and do a bday rap before singing the bday song. and the birthday person has to stand on the chair and hold a sparkler. whoa wenjun was seriously paiseh. just imagine, a tough botak commando standing on a chair holding a sparkler.. lol, i even video-ed it down.
alright i think i better stop here before it gets long and boring. my next entry will be on the first episode of the debate show: THE ARENA with loyang sec vs RI, i have a funny clip to share regarding that. for now, so long and good night. ok la bye.
Oh hello! it seems like a trend blogging about results, so i shall follow suit. its strange, lynn has a miracle computer (apart from her miraculous loud mouth). she could access my exam results in tp's web portal at 12pm, and she called me immediately to help me check. thanks alot, now u know y u're my fren LOL. i was fricking having a SABA fish korean set meal when she called. the strange thing was, after lunch i went home at 2pm, i couldnt access my results, the records dun show anything... i asked alot of ppl, all of them didnt have their current semester exam result's records... and in lynn's com, she could see everything at 12pm! received the stupid sms by 4pm, and only at 5 plus then i could access my results online using my com. ok i got ALL B+. nth higher, nth lower. all 5 subjects also B+. satisfied and contented? of coz! super happy? not at all. but im happy enuf to know tt i pulled up my bloody GPA from 3.29 to 3.34. need to push it up to 3.5 at least. god bless me.
and oh ya, im still out of job. haha. its not tt im complaining. but normally during the hols, i'll be busy working. this sem, im out of job and 50% of the reason is bcoz i do not wana work haha considering the fact that this will be my last hols. next sem's hols will be eaten up by the cruel internship. but hey, i did try to get a job though. one of them is a telemarketer for UOB bank's credit cards. 5day week, $1200 per month. shiok right? but i quit the moment i stepped into their training. if i worked, i'd be required to memorise 50+ pages of notes consisting of eligibility of application for credit cards and the documents required for various credit cards. and there were at least 8 different credit cards. for a months' job, totally not worth the effort. and if u fail to meet their daily sales target, ur monthly pay will be cut down to $800, what a major turnoff. gabriel and rick also couldnt tahan the training programme.
haha so the next day, we went down to this company at farrer park. whoa this company damn power, the receptionist that greeted us really shocked me. he looked like a chao ah beng. chains on his jeans, huge ear ring, dyed hair which was SUPER SPIKEY. then i told gab.. whoa this guy looks like a typical guy who sells those irritating $2 donation tickets on the streets, something which i despise coz alot of newspaper articles revealed that those were fake donation companies. but with those thots aside we went to meet the manager, and whoa he super slack sia. he talked to us like he is our fren, and he told us this: "WE ARE A MARKETING COMPANY. WE COMMUNICATE WITH CONSUMERS THRU ROADSHOWS. UR BASIC WILL BE AROUND $1100." we were like.. GREAT! and he asked us to come for training the next day.
we came for the training the next day. they asked us to wait half an hour. then the EXISTING WORKERS went into this room, all of them were around my age. scary. then they shouted cheers after cheers after cheers. those kind tt ppl shout during poly orientations. super lame. then suddenly gab turned and told me: "HAHA GERALD U KNOW AH, SEMANTER LAST TIME WORKED FOR THE DONATION COMPANY, THEY ALSO LIKE THIS SHOUT CHEERS ONE." then i was like haha whoa thats interesting. but the next moment, i was like WHAT?! OH SHIT, DUN TELL ME...... then i saw this guy, he held a A4 board, it reminded me of sth. u know on the streets when some1 approaches u to buy a $2 donation ticket, he will show u something like a LICENSE to sell. tt A4 board looked exactly like the license. my thots ran wild.
then the 'trainers' came out of their CHEERING ROOM. a butch approached us, gab rick and i thot 3 of us were gona be trained together. in the end she took gab only. rick had an individual trainer and i had another chao ah beng as my trainer. he talk on the phone ah, out of 10 words got 7 words is hokkien vulgarities. his english is 1min past 6, he smoke until his teeth super yellow and gums black. the next thing, he looked at me and said this: WE ARE A MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION COMPANY. I BRING U GO CITY HALL, AND U COMMUNICATE. U NEED TO HANDS ON TO LEARN. FOR A START, U SELL DONATION.
right after he completed his sentence... i walked off and told him im not interested. 1000000 vulgarities rang in my head. i wasted 2 days of my bloody time on this stupid donation company. these type of companies should be condemned, and i hope all their workers and management rot in hell. so long and good night.
Ok i know i haven been updating. too busy, and blogging is just so out of fashion for now. Results are coming out in 5days time, dun have any high hopes, just hope to maintain the bloody gpa. oh ya, right after the exams, the groupies (excluding mag, coz she got a BANG BANG wedding to attend, not hers fortunately) went to catch THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. it's seriously the wrong show to watch after the exams. coz we're in such a celebratory mood and the show is damn bloody sad. so it contradicts the mood which we should be feeling. anyway i have to admit, that will smith is really such a great actor and it is a true story based on this guy named CHRIS GARDNER who had many downs in life before he succeeded someday. so it showed his problems after problems after problems. i shall not comment on the storyline since its a true story. but besides the heartwarming plot and all, the movie sucked.
coz in a movie, i look for an opening, body, climax, and conclusion. the opening and body was good but there was no climax. his problems all the same one, everyday he face the same problems, and for 2hrs, they showed his problems after problems after problems. and after 2hrs, just when u thot u were able to see him succeed, u were disappointed. after 2hrs of super jialat kind of problems, the ending was just 2 slides of words saying: CHRIS GARDNER THEN BECAME A MILLIONAIRE blablabla. nv show how he finally succeeded and his life when he succeeded. i was so looking forward to tt since i tahaned with him thru all his bloody problems. and the movie ended with the backview of him and his son walking... and here is their conversation.
tmr morning, im gona play soccer in tp! this time, we are prepared, we booked 2 street soccer courts in tp. and last week when we went to play soccer, we were so pissed. coz we had a lot of people and we had to play outside the street soccer courts, on this huge flat cemented land. its just a piece of flat land near the street soccer court. while we were happily enjoying our game (esp after the exams and all), the TP security guards came. and u know, security guards and me, we just dun go together. below is the conversation, its so dumb!
Guard: are u all tp students? Us: yes. Guard: do u all know u all have to write a memo via ur lecturer and get it approved in black and white before u can play? Us: the lecturer ran out of memo Guard: ya then in that case, u all should write a memo. Us: the lecturer ran out of it. Guard: but u all still got to write memo. Us (pissed): wha lao this cemented path also must book?! its not even a facility. Guard: ya but still must book. Us: then this piece of cemented land is call wat? Guard: it is called watever the tp management wans to call it. Us: is there a name for this piece of land so that next time we can book? Guard: cant u read the sign there, this piece of land has no name, it will be named watever the tp management would like to name it. Us: wha lao! y last time we play also nth wrong now need to go thru all the stupid memo? Guard: pls la, now the management very strict. pls dun make it DIFFICULTY for me. Us: we just started playing man. Guard: i know, but if management check, i kana. pls dun make it DIFFICULTLY for me.
in the end we just left. stupid man. really need to give tp some feedback lol. ok i shall stop here. update again. so long and good night. OK LA BYE!
