Ok one thing that this internship have made me realise was HOW LOUSY MY CHINESE STANDARD IS NOW! I am really ashame of my chinese now, really!

Road to discovery of Jizmine's lousy Chinese...

A reporter from China call dear jizmine to discuss abt a contra agreement: (R=reporter, J=Jizmine-who-thot-she-was-great!)

R: Hi, diss is Peeee de (Peter) I eh I wang tell diss de butt de eh eh we 我可以讲华语吗?

J: *thinking to myself - Of course man come on! Hello! MY Chinese is like A2 ok? Aiya and I used to read Chinese books that flips from the left with traditional chinese characters written vertically read from the right ok! Don't look down on my OH-So-Power chinese man!* 当然! *with a proud-of-myself tone*

R: 哦, 是这样的. 我门这边无法与....(&%^(%&*$^&^(#&*(_>^$

J: oh...*I can understand k! Jus tt it's a hassle to type down all that he said! He's so long winded can? With all the si-shua-si-shua*

R: (*^%(#%@!@#$^&*(@@$_@%&>... 这样我们就这么决定了!

J: 好!

*it's actually my turn now to
1) ask him the specifications needed for the ad to be published in the China magazine
2) tell him that I will fax over or email a scanned copy of the endorsed agreement to him*

J: eh 这样我就 eh 那个*eh for 10 secs* *silent for another 5 secs* (AHHHH!!! I remembered!!!) 準备!!! *say until very excited so abit louder* 那个那个eh那个(Wad the hell is contract in CHINESE???)*silent for 10secs* contract *end up still use English* 给你!

R: contract 那个合约对吗?~!@#$%^&*(@#$%^&&*()<>}{:(&^

J: um! 对! 我然后,我签了就 *silent for 5 secs again* 寄给你 Ah! 电邮!我签了然后电邮你. 我会先...先(HOW THE HELL DO I SAY SCAN IN CHINESE??? OH MY!)eh 扫描了然后发电邮给你!

.

.

I can only go this far! typing chinese is quite a torture to me too considering the fact that my ping ying is not very strong! Oh My GOD! LOOK AT my ATROCIOUS chinese words used and the fact that I spent so much time thinking of a chinese word yet in teh end still resort to English word!

I am really ashame of myself....

I am really surprised...

I meant to keep this as a really private blog, to update a few close frens of wad has been taking place in my life. Cos they always complain that they dunno what happen to me...

Haf nv expected my nasty comments to cause such a backlash...

Everyone knows that a blog is like a diary, understand that it is public and is aware that anyone is free to read it.

Everyone knows that one shd be responsible for their words and not say hurtful remarks and regret only ltr.

Everyone knows that when one is in bad mood, he/she will say mean things out of a moment of anger and he/she doesn't really mean it.

You know you can't do something/ make a decision to please everyone and so do I. My words can't please everyone. Some people many agree with me, some gets upset while some are angry but that shdn't refrain one from penning their thots down rite?

Everyone and I really mean everyone, will at least have evil/mean/nasty/negative comments/thoughts/remarks about something but it's just that it wasn't mentioned/told/recorded! Does it make them nice?

Don't you think it's better that somebody shares how he/she feels in whichever way he/she is comfortable with than to juz bitch to someone and start a rumour?

Will it make me seem nicer if I hadn't rattled?

At least I am frank and I dare to write it down in my own blog space for people who care enough to read it to understand how I feel.

If i am arrowing someone, be sure to see the fellow's name! Else, don't be oversensitive k! I am looking at the issue as a whole...


To Jeremy whom i noe haf thot tt i was referring to u:
my words were nv meant to criticise how u do things but a general thot of how things cld haf been done better. furthermore, the idea of interviews didn't start from u! it has been on since dunno when...pls dun be affected and gimmi a call if u care to! I'm cool, hope u r too! =)
p/s: I plucked up a lot of courage to gif u tt miss call ok? my heart was beating damn fast when i called and i was contemplating whether to call u or not for like half an hr la! Cos i dunno wad to say to u! It's damn weird!

To those who thot I was referring to them:
I'm sorry but u'r not the centre of attention here! =P But anyhow don't take it to heart k! Jus treat it as a ger who was in really bad mood, pms-ing and fagged out from work speaking her mind in the most vulgar way that she cld ever haf done it!

On the final note, I saved 1 person from tinking that I was criticising her. Haha and tt was xin yu! I told her abt how mean my entry was, ask her to go read it and explain to her my true feelings and intentions. Although she is a little upset by my nasty-ness at that point of time tt i wrote tt entry, she was still forgiving la. Luckily I let her know abt it 1st. Imagine if she had heard from someone... it will be more complicated!

Feeling bored at work hence decided to clear my hotmail inbox which I haven done so for years! Got over 400 mails in there. I don't want to mass delete them in case some are meaningful ones which I can use as reference.

My cousin sent me one of this...

October 16 - 27 ~ *Turtle *

If you are a *Turtle* : You are near to perfect and nice at
heart.The examples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of
people.You, too, love peace. You wouldn't like to retaliate even to a person
who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk
behind one's back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give,
give and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in
return.You are generous enough.Seeing things in a practical light is what
remains the best trait of you guys.

Don't tink it's very accurate. Some parts are very true though!


Saw some pictures of my secondary school fren who went for a mission trip to thailand... I'm envious =| I wan to go! I had always wanted to go for overseas community projects - build houses, schools etc. I tink it's really meaningful and once-in-a-lifetime experience! Yah I know that their toilet n shower sucks! WanPing, I know that! That's y u refuse to go rite? I wun tell anyone tt u refuse to go jus bcos of tt ok?

Oh btw, I'm quite happy to know that I can apply for the US Work & Travel programme and start after commencement! Means I wun miss convocation! Can wear that disgusting sqaure hat + drappy big cloth over my body! The outfit that all PAP kindergarden kid-grads haf worn b4 and all parents would sacrifice for anything for their kids to wear it!

What's wrong with me?

Look at what I said on msn to Layz:

and I continued rattling....

Don't you tink it's a very silly thing to do? Interview house ic for a camp? What the fuck info do u tink u can get from interviews? DO u tink i'm applying for a job? Hell no! U nd to haf more humanity in handling the selection of hse ics! Not thru blardy interviews!

Better suggestions that even a primary school kid can tell u undergrads:

IDIOT'S GUIDE TO CHOOSING A HOUSE IC

1) references from frens and people who knows the person!
it's a god damn straight forward solution la! Ask ard for opinions and u'r sure to get truthful and insightful info abt ur candidate! From thr u can straightaway know more or less if the person is suitable! Of course pls do not be tt fucking STUPID to ask 1,2,3,4 or only 5 pple! Ask for more than 15 opinions! U wan gd house ics! tt's jus the least u can do! Don't bullshit and say it's not gonna be accurate bcos I'm telling u it's the best source to rely on!

2) meet up with that person for a meal/informal session know his/her personality better!
Sample questions to ask rather than freaking useless role-play scenarios:
- what do u usually do during ur free time?
- wad camps haf u participated in b4?
- wad experiences did u gain from these camps?
- wad flaws did u see while joining these camps?
- any improvements u tink can be done?
- u dare to approach a stranger and start toking to him/her anot?
now get tt "potential" house ic to do it right in front of u! u'll then be able to see if he/she is comfortable wid strangers

3) arrange for a time and make him/her sit in for one of ur camp meetings. Let him/her voice out ideas and contribute during meeting. From there u can judge whether he/she is suitable.

If u dunno how to judge whether someone is suitable to be a house ic, I am so sorry but u are FUCKING NOT fit to be the one deciding who to choose!

Haha blogging during office hours again! Who cares?

The movie "Pirates of the Carribean - At World's End" was a disappointing show. Although it's close to 3hrs long and according to the GV ticket vendor is "very worth watching cos it's very long, longer than Spiderman" (ok wad he meant was tt pirates's film is very long in short) No doubt it's "long". But wad's the Worth? $8.50 to enjoy aircon? sit on a not-very-comfortable seat? watching stupid pirates with the same costumes over and over again? watching fights which are recycled from the 1st and 2nd prequel? Anyhow, except for some comedy, I just felt that the whole movie is a waste of time and I felt like sleeping on many occasions.

They lost it all, maybe that's why it's call "At World's End". I tink they had better end it if there's not gonna be a better plot to the storyline.

It doesn't help that before the movie, I had dinner at a lousy resturant which serves food that's equivalent, if not worst than the mui fan(white rice with seafood and starchy gravy) from the coffeeshop downstairs my home. I'm serious! Their bake rice is no different from white rice!



I'm too disgusted to take pictures of the food they serve! Although the surrounding scenery is nice, NEVER ever go to The Mussel Guys in ViVoCity unless u've really got no whr to go and everywhr is packed and u r god damn hungry tt u'll faint if u dun haf nutrients intake within the nx min. It sucks! TOTALLY! I went to search online for the shop name cos I forgot what was it and I really nd it to warn others! Guess wad? All their reviews were bad! Bad! BAD!

And it's ex too! $16.50 for an atrocious miserable plate of bake rice, a cup of tea(those tt hotels serve their guest for free), soup-of-e-day(lobster favour which tasted an overdosed of MSG) with a pathetic piece of hard-like-rock garlic bread, a single mini scoop of "brandless" ice-cream (similar to what the ice-cream uncle with the "ring ring "bell can gif me at 3 scoops with a cone for 50cents). Yah tt's it! To tink they dare put Ben&Jerry's title in their menu making me think that they were serving Ben&Jerry's ice-cream! FOR GODDNESS sake! Take it off the menu if u all are no longer serving them and haf decided to import from another low-class brand!

I regretted not eating Gloria Jeans' salad... It's so nice...And so much cheaper and better...


actually after some thots, I dun feel like gg for tis yr's arts camp... Dun feel needed for the camp. Seems like i'm giving them pressure to take me in to help them out... U noe? It's the kind of feeling of forcing urself on somebody and tt person doesn't know how to reject u and keeps mum.

I guess it can also be seen as not being appreciated? I always think that my brother is such a person and I quarelled with him recently over it! He's someone who doesn't show appreciation after being helped by others. It's bad. Eventually noobody will help u anymore bcos they dun feel appreciated. That was what I was trying to explain to him and that bcos we are a family tt's y we r not calculative abt it. As for others, they may also not mind initially, but after some time, they will start to question themselves why are they sacrificing for an unappreciative person...or whether their efforts are regconized anot...

The worst part is that he retaliated and sorta "scolded" me with other irrelevant stuff which fucking pissed me off! I quarrelled with him in front of all my relatives during my cousin's weding la! How unglam! I'm so nicely dressed up! But i thot i muz speak my mind and not always let him tink tt he's right!

On the other hand, me myself did just wad i've scolded with my brother about ---Being very unappreciative! Guess I was really tired last night... I shurgged my mother off when she asked me a qn and I shot back at her even though it was very very unncessary. Felt very bad... it was just a simple qn which will take me no more than 10mins to answer but I have chose to hurt my mother instead =(

As usual, PRIDE in the top priority, I din apologise. Sometimes i tink one shd not be too prideful... Saying a "thank u" or "sorry" doesn't kill...

I'm working on it still...

Haha being notti =P I am blogging at work! I have decided to slack for the day as Amanda is on MC. Not that she's nasty and will bao dou me or what but cos she's sitting right beside me and I don't really wanna portray a "lazy" image =P HAHA not anymore! at least not for today!

I downloaded this taiwan drama 东方茱丽叶 (got wu zhun!!!!) and finished watching the last 2 episodes in office just now =P hehe but I sacrificed lunch time la =[ so techinically I wasted only 1hr of labour time of the company.

I'm ultra excited now and can't wait to knock off cos I've bought preview tickets for Pirates of the Carribean at GVmax! I love GVmax! The screen is ultra big with solid surround sound system and alot of leg space too! That is to say, if some1 wans to walk pass u, they'll jus nd to walk pass w/o
- saying "sorry, S-kills me"
- pressing their body against the row of seats in front of u
- gripping tightly to the back rest of the seats to balance themselves
- trying very hard but always failing to find "footspace" to step across to avoid ur foot and bags but end up always stepping on almost all of them

WooHoo so that's the beauty of GVmax!

Anw, I 'tried to' go for a jog yesterday nite although I walked for 10mins and decided to head home for tv shows, well what's new? =P I met my neighbour while waiting for the lift (can u jus imagine how lazy I was not to even wan to walk down the stairs for warm-up) and he actually gave me insights to the dangers I have exposed myself to all this while that I haf been jogging (ok fine not tt I jog alot but still, I have jogged b4 K!)

Yup he saw me listening to my mp3 and told me not to do that cos a boy staying in our block at dunno which floor got knocked down 1 yr plus ago. The boy was hooked on his mp3 (can't live w/o it)and was listening to it while crossing the road so he didn't realise that a car was approaching. He is now doing fine, have just started walkng, but his brains are permanently damaged!

Then my neighbour asked me again, "do u jog along or against trafic?" "erm, along." *Clap his hands very loudly* "Aiya wrong again! U muz ... ..."

Actually I can fully understand what he means and I really appreciate the fact that he bothers to warn me about such dangers which many pple tend to overlook.

Putting on earphones decreases your sense of hearing of the surrounding by more than 50% (can go up to 100% depending on how loud u blast ur music) and it will directly affect ur reflexes. Ur time taken to react will increase significantly because u can't hear! U are not forewarned about the dangers to come.

A very simple and over-used example --- u heard thunder before lighting strikes. Lighting can kill but thunder does not so u can see it as a warning sign.

I know because I was half-deaf for a period of time recently and the feeling really sucks! I can't hear pple clearly. I can't even defend mysef when pple are making fun of me cos I can't hear wad they are toking abt. I became very soft when I talk because I lost confidence and cos I kept hearing myself tinking tt I was loud. I even cry sometimes cos it was very painful and itchy! =(

WOohOo it's 5 mins to 5.30pm, my knock off time!

Wah~ it has been a long time since I last blogged! I am quite tired out by work actually... There's so much to do! Luckily more interns came to my rescue. There's actually a new ger who just joined the company for internship today.

I hate working, not that I don't enjoy my work! I don't like the feeling of being controlled! Having to report for work at 9am sharp means a few things:

1) Wake up before 7.30am with 40mins to (in chronological order) brush teeth, wash face, do toilet business, decide on office wear (which can be done the nite b4), get changed, have breakfast, wear contact lenses, make-up, GO!
2) Forcing yourself up the near-suffocating feeder service and fully-packed train
3) Breathing in O2 which are &^%(&#^%(#@
4) Rushing up and down the moving escalator and risk falling down like a toad(the position of the fall will be very similar to a toad! 2 hands on the higher step, knees pointing outwards, 2 foot on the lower step, try to imagine la k!)
5) Making sure u reach the punch card machine/clock before 9am so that the imprinted time on the card appears RED! How cunning rite? aft 9am print in black ink, b4 9am print in RED ink! so that at one glance u can see which days u are late!


Celebrated Stacy's 21st Birthday yesterday ...

Damn funny! She was so shocked to see the 4 of us suddenly appearing when she was about to cut her cake. Look at what happened:



She cried! Ahaha too touched =)

Stacy's mother is even cuter la! While taking photos she told stacy not to smile too hard cos her mouth will appear too big on the photos! And every shot stacy takes, her mother will try to adjust her smile! "dun grin so widely!" "can see ur teeth alrdy" "NOno just smile normal, not too hard"

And no prize for guessing la, irritated Stacy said "AIYAH! PEOPLE HAPPY CANNOT AH?" A bimbo statement indeed...

Haha wad's even funnier! Her mother is super duper dunny la! Not only did she insist that we order a drink (to go with the cake so that we wun feel sick of it aft eating too much), she keeps refilling our plates with Stacy's 21st b'day cake! And the worst part is that the the 2nd, 3rd serving is far too GENEROUS...



None of us can finish it la seriously... Stacy's mum said we can jus leave it! HAha it's jus to make the plate look nice by not being empty! Heh? Superstitious?

Hock is back from KL since last sat! And guess wad he got me? MY ALL-TIME-FAVOURITE *drum rolls* DUNKIN DOUGHNUT! rockz! nothing can be compared to this! the doughnuts in singapore(i.e. doughnut factory, vinco) all have to kowtow to them! Oh man look at this:




Ok 2 of them is smashed but hehe it's hand-carried all the way from KL so got to appreciate the efforts =)

He got me a pink addidas jacket also! Looks cute but I know addidas don't carry this colour series =P haha get what I mean?



My eye bags are getting from bad to worst! I had to soften my eye bags in this photo so that I dun look as if I have cried for the past few weeks! Heh... I need to rest! I need a relaxing overseas trip... =)

Day 2:
Black Out at office!


I was actually at NewZealand's choosing my ice-cream flavours with Amanda, Christine, HuiLing and Steven when suddenly there was a black-out! Oh Christine asked if we could get ice-cream for free since they are gonna melt of anyway and they can't sell them anymore =D All of the gers got a sweet treat from Steven! It's also kinda to welcome me joining the company! Thanks Steven n_n

Day 3:
I'm assigned another task! To create banners for SSA! You know those kind that you see hanging from the lamp post at airports and along the roads? Yup, that's right! I need to conceptualize something appealing to attract visitors...*ponders*

Day 4:
See how nicely-dressed I was that day!


My new shoes! I realize that it's quite high and my poor "flat foot" is hurting a bit when i walk...


Can't get enough of myself =P


Ok enough jasminejizmine!

The reason why I dressed so profesional was cos I'm attending a Press Luncheon at Suntec! Haha it's actually for the exhibitors to display/demostrate to media what they have got to offer at SSA'07. Since we are the organizer, we need to do some publicity for them mah!

On our way...


The food was good! And the presentation was actually very interesting except for the fact that I was more attracted by the food! It gave me an insight to the various security measures that people can take and the various new inventions to increase security. But it makes me wonder about the notion of privacy with regards to visual monitoring and also whether the systems that they are offering are really "secure"? I mean since you have invented such system, you will be so good at it that you can outsmart it rite? So then how protected will I be if there are experts out thr who is able to outsmart my security system?

Oh no, during the luncheon, I was assigned another task: e-newsletter for SSA. I'm not complaining though! Jus take it as a learning experience! Bcos I can do sth wrong now and be forgiven and corrected bcos i'm only an intern! In future if I were to really start working, I'll then be fully responsible for what work I produce!

My colleagues:
The one in the foreground is really a joker! Super funny guy! The right-most is my Marcom Director...


Day 5:
Woah HOO~~ Finally the end of the week! I was so tired that I nearly fell asleep while looking through jewel photos to be placed in the flyers design =P didn't mean to but the aircon was too cold and i had a heavy lunch!

Went for Rag dance after work! The dance workshop was a killer! I totally had no jazz background and there was a lot of muscle-controling involved. My right-thigh muscle cramped like hell during the session but I didn't dare to say cos v paiseh =P like v unpro!

Haha after tt I met hock for supper and visited my all time fav supper hang-out place *drum rolls pls* AL-Azhaar~


Seriously good! Won the ever so prestigious award "Jizmine's Beautiful Hand" given out by Me-the-GREAT for such good food! Look at the quality of the food! The "size" of the "dinosaurs" on the milo and holicks! ROCKZ! The maggi goreng is 45765067348957230592357 times better than FongSeng Cheese Prata Shop! Not only the food is better, the service attitude is also 90376347634895625456415645 times better! Pls wake up ur idea man FS Cheese Prata! U tink u'r really tt gd? Monopoly can only last u tis far!

Just got home with a nice sun-kissed body! Yeah~ was at sentosa this morning (afternoon actually) with Stacy and Linda for a long-overdue tanning session!



By the time we were ready to tan (due to Linda insisting on eating Seah Inn's Carrot Cake), it was already noon time. I could only tan for an hour plus cos the sun was scorching my skin and I figured that I will be burnt if i'm too ambitious! Stacy couldn't take it and seeked (Ang SEEK-ee =P ahaha no link )shelter after tanning for only like 30 mins! Linda badly wanted to look "bangla" so she tanned alone for 20mins more while I joined Stacy under the coconut tree! How romantic -_-|||



We took a tram back to Vivo and decided to have a drink at Pacific Coffee Company. Coincidentally, all 3 of us was deciding on Strawberry Banana Chilly! Great BIMBOs think alike! In the end we shared a mega-size one (actually quite normal size) and it tasted really good! But it's quite ex though @$7.50.

Linda went to meet her sis and Stacy was complaining that she was very hungry but couldn't eat cos of the ultra big ulcer at the corner of her mouth. So I accompanied her to Sakae. I hated all the food there and felt like puking man! Gross quality of what they call sushi? Ok fine, I used to think that sushi tasted tt way because that was my only point of contact with sushi! Not anymore! Not until I went to Akashi and tasted REAL sushi! ROCKZ man!

Feel unsatisfied, I suggested that we go to bugis for MANGO SAGO! WOO HOO~ since stacy biked down today!



It has always fail to disappoint me everytime I go there! The mango sago juz rockz big time! I will recommend it to anyone who LOVES mangoes! Even to those who dun! After trying this, u'll love it! Even stacy is impressed!

Hence, I gave it the most prestigious award that one can ever receive from ME-the-Great! - Jizmine's Beautiful Hand *thumbs up*

After which I begged Stacy to send me home cos I was too lazy to take public transport. We were maneuvering ard bugis on Stacy's bike cos she wasn't familiar with the way to my house plus it doesn't help that I kept giving her wrong directions and guess wad?

At one of the traffic lights where stacy stopped, Hocky appeared! Ahahaha he was crossing the road to go to bugis village to get some souvenirs and it was really funny! All 3 of us were laughing like crazy in the middle of the road! Bcos it's so coincidental!

I was jus telling stacy tt "Erm Hock usu travels by this way to my home" and *TaDanG* he appeared rite in front of us! Haha here is a small re-enactment of what took place after tt:

Stace: *bimbo stacy waved frantically at hock*
"Send her home! Send her home!"

Hock: "I don't have helmet"

Stace: "Neh" *referring to her extra helmet which I'm wearing rite thr and then*

*Jiz still giggling and waving in her own lalaland*

Hock: "Okok"

Jiz: "My bag! In ur box! How?"

Stace: "AHH~~" *dunno wad to do with the bunched-up keys inserted into the engine starter* "AHH~"

*Traffic light turning green in fews secs time i.e. stacy's bike haf to move off!*

OH MY THIS PART i tell u! Is really funny! Stacy rode her bike across the road as if me, her and the bike (as one whole body) is a pedestrain! And she parked at the side of the road to alight me and get my bag from her bike box! Luckily there was no car at the left-most lane but a bus was approaching and OH MY this is funny part no.2, she rode off straight across the junction when tt lane is suppose to be a turn left lane *perspires*

Ahaha now comes the last funny part of the day. Hock was sending me home on his bike and suddenly, he pointed somewhr and said "Ur fren. the NUSSU one from hall! She's wearing NUM green top!"

"Oh...The one tt looks like Linda?"

"Yah~ COme to tink of it abit hor~"

*Smart jizmine ponders: Isn't Linda wearing NUM green top today?*

"Is she wearing white shorts?"

"Yah yah"

"AIYA~~~~~~~ IT'S LINDA LA!"

This is super hilarous, why does everyone think that they look alike? Even though Hock knows Linda better and have seen her quite a few times, he still surprisingly says that the girl he saw is Michelle! BUT the thing is that, the person he saw was Linda! AHaHaHa

Woah Hoo~ My 1st day at CEMS(Conference & Exhibition Management Services) was great! I wore this victorian-like top with working pants and cream pumps! Looks nice doesn't it?


Here is my work area:

I'm actually sitting at the Marcom Manager's desk and guess what? Taking over her duties as well! Haha cos she left the company a couple of weeks ago and they have yet to hire another. The Assistant Marcom Manager, Amanda, sits beside me. She's very nice and helpful! She got me a rag to wipe the desk and helped clear stuff from my side of the shelf so that I'll have more space. These people really keep lots of junk! Ok maybe they need it for future reference for the same event happening next year but still... It's so untidy! Even Amanda can't stand it!

Amanda's really nice. She's very patient in teaching me stuff and gives really good advices! You know, sometimes when you really dunno how to do something and you asked for help, you'll later realize that the qns you had asked b4 were so dumb bcos you now know how to do them and those things seem so easy! That's why pple get impatient trying to teach another person who is new at sth. I mean it's no one's fault, it's a learning process!

Ok my point is, she guided me in doing what I'm suppose to do and many of the stuff are actually similar to what I do for Arts club projects! Haha CCA does count k! Woah~ I am already given 2 projects and 3 task to do within these few minutes in the office!

Singapore International Jewellery Show 2007 (www.sijs.com.sg)

and

Safe and Security Asia 2007 (www.safetysecurityasia.com.sg)
incoporating Homeland Security Asia 2007 (www.homelandsecurityasia.com.sg)
co-locating with Fire & Rescue Asia 2007 (www.firerescueasia.com.sg)

I am required to
1) update both project's barter trade list and follow-up to ensure terms are met(very cute right? These days still exist barter trade)
2) do up trade visitor's mail-out brochure for SIJS
3) do up email blast ads for SSA

So stressful! I was super shocked when I heard it cos I thought I need to design them! Haha in the end I'm suppose to only copywrite and draft up the concept and get a designer to do the designing! I'm free to use any freelance designer within budget, cool right? =) I have to oversee everything, from getting clearance right up to producing them!

I met up with the MediaCorp Senior Sales Executive Veronica. She was here to sell MediaCorp TV ad spot packages. Amanda asked me to follow her to gain some exposure. How nice of her! Through this, I found out that a 15-sec ad aired ONCE during primetime would have cost $3500 on channel 8! My god! So ex!!!! Imagine you need the ad to appear 3 times in one-hour interval. It would have cost 10.5k!!!

Another guy in the company, Raymond, is from NUS too =) Happy to see someone from school! He's actually a perm part-time! Works for the company when there's vacation and the company actually sends him to Beijing to organize exhibitions! How cool right? But he told me that it just sounds glamorous. In actual fact he work his ass off while overseas, even during weekend with no time at all to tour around!

Back at my desk, I am busy surfing the web and browsing magazines for pictures, captions, words to spark some ideas for my designs! My creative juice have long dried up man!

The work culture, Oh MY, is really liberal! They leave me all alone to do my own stuff and do anything I want as long as I meet the deadline! Love it this way! JasmineJizmine hates being controlled and restricted!

I must really say it's a fulfilling 1st day at work for me!

I went to Vivo to catch the movie Spiderman 3 with Hocky.


The guy (Spiderman's gd friend Harry) in the movie is really shuai! =P
The movie starts only at 9.50pm cos we insist on watching GVmax for the mega screen and great surround sound effect! So we went to taste the latest craze in town:


We did this in just 10 mins:


Then we headed to Gloria Jeans for a drink:


And ended up ordering salad also cos of a sudden craving! It's really tasty though, didn't regret:


Yummy!


THe chair was so comfy that I fell aslp for abt half an hr plus!

Hoacky looks like the little Alfro right? Esp the mouth! Soooo Cute~! Totally cutish!

Look at the amount of junk I have in my room:


Shifting out from hall is a real chore with the amount of things I have accumulated over 2 sems. It doesn't help that on the day of shifting --- IT RAINED! It freaking rained! When I reached the car park downstairs my house,I had to hold an umbrella with one hand and try to balance ONE (mind you ONE k!) pack of stuff on the other and shift them up to my house one pack by one pack! In short, it means spending 3 hours and taking unlimited rides on the elavator! Luckily there was such an invention because I live on the highest floor >=(


My little stitch among the mess!

And so I sadly missed my appointment with my jc classmates at SAV! I felt so sad then.. I haven seen them for 2 years! My teachers too! I heard from Amy that they met quite a few teachers although some of them left SA.

I stayed home and didn't meet up with Hock too! Cos I was in a really bad mood.

Opps, homeliness didn't last. You'll understand what I mean...Presenting to you, Video of the year~



AHAHAHA had a good laugh? Yeah, enjoyed myself k-ing at Orchard Party World with them. We headed to newton for supper and chatted until 4am in the morning! Woah! Haha we bitched about almost anything under the moon! Btw, peihong was super pai seh la! She complained in japanese to Kelvin that the drinks there were ex cos the uncle was ard and she din wan him to hear it. OMG guess wad? The drink stall uncle replied in JAPANESE that his drinks are priced reasonably. OH MY! Peihong was totally shocked, surprised, dumbfounded! haha sometimes we really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover!



Met up with Amy and Mootz on sat nite and watched The Hills Have Eyes, a gross R21 movie. The funny thing is that none of us are 21 yet! Haha! It was a really hilarous outing for me! Amy is forever funny and Mootz forever talkative! Together we form the Singapore Racial Harmony Icon:(Haha suggested by Mootz)


We talked like nobody's business at Marina Sq foodcourt but look at wad the two of them were constantly doing:


End up I took photos of the view from the foodcourt. It's quite impressive considering that it's a foodcourt view! I can see almost all the CBD buildings.

Haha mootz suan-ed amy...
Amy: *furiouly typing away on her hp*
Mootz: yah yah keep using ur phone rite then go home aft tt on msn type tt wish we cld haf tok more!
Amy: NOooooo *wave wave*

Haha which I totally agree and couldn't stop luffing cos amy was frantically trying to deny it!

Oh well, let's wrap up with a joke-of-the-week which amy couldn't stop giggling after hearing it.

Jiz: Hey ddo you all club?
Mootz: Nope
Amy: Nope
Mootz: Y? U always go ah?
Jiz: No lah, only when thr's bashes in sch.

Mootz: Oh bcos u haf to pay cover charge on ladies nite rite?
Amy: BAHWAHAHHA
Jiz: VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!
Amy: AHAHAHA *hands cover mouth* I'm so sorry. It's damn funny!

Hello, mootz! What are u trying to imply heh? I am too boyish or I'm too ugly? THANK~

Look at all these disappointments... Why do I have to pick up the pieces? Why do I have to spend hours repairing them? Why am I the one to make them look nice, lovely, presentable and easy to display/carry around?




Aren't presents suppose to be admired at? Shouldn't I spend time feeling happy about receiving them rather than frustrated over their falling pieces?




Have you ever planned beforehand when getting a present for me? Why do they keep falling apart? Where is your sincerity?
