Finally my last day at work at NCC! Not really a bad thing even though I know I would miss all the fun and the dirty crap jokes those technicians crack in the back room. Anyway, this new girl at Parkway Parade NCC must come and ruin my last day lah! Annoyed and pissed me off totally.
The first few things she did that annoyed me were to make me clear up her shit. Oh, she was attending to customers at the info counter by the way. And each time a customer popped up with a question she couldn't answer, she would just come to me. No no! I should rephrase that: she referred every single customer to me whenever they asked her a question. Damn hell annoying! I got so pissed I told her off: hey man, I'm not here to do customer service. She could have gone to the technicians instead of coming to annoy me whenever I'm helping her with another customer!
Next thing she did to annoy me: asking me to help her buy bubble milk tea! And paid me back with loads of coins and giggled: finally I rid those coins! Freak!
The final last thing that made me not even bothered to say bye bye to her: coming to up to show off how to draw Snoopy when I was doodling off on this piece of paper! Freak! Now even simply by describing what she has done to spoil my day is making my blood boil...
Oh yah! Yuting came back and we had another class gathering! A great round of applause for Ningyi! Thanks for organizing this outing! And many thanks to all the compliments, girls, for saying that I've turned more buff!

Does this remind you of the feasting scene in Harry Potter?

Maybe not if you haven't seen the whole picture!

Not leaning on Wanyu on purpose! But 'cos that lady who helped us with this picture kept asking us to squeeze!
Oh before I end this post! I just got a new tuition student. JC1. That makes her 5 years younger than me and that made her a P6 student when I was in JC1...humpf, it's scary how time slips by and how much we grow! And thanks to all you JC classmates for creating such beautiful memories of JC life!
Time can draw a line between us but it can never steal the memories we have in our heart.

Things Just Don't Feel Right...

One last week before this job ends. I really couldn't imagine I could make it to the end of this three month term. Still remember the first day of work at NCC Century Square. Wah...my job machiam like kenna punished standing 'cos I had to stand beside the 'There's a newer version of your phone on cyberspace.' sign the whole day and that day, my buddy and I only got our first customer at 6 pm, which was 7 hours after the opening time of the center. Today was my last day stationed there at Century Square; Friday would be my last day at Suntec City NCC; and Tuesday would be my very last day with Nokia at Parkway Parade NCC. And if you happen to pass by any of these centers, let me know and maybe we could go for lunch...
My friend's Nokia phone went gigi and so I told him to come down to let us see. I didn't think it would take long to get it fixed but the prob of his phone seems to be a rather big one and his phone has to be retained for a week. He flies a lot and he doesn't have a spare phone so I thought it'd be nice if I loan him my phone 'cos I still have a Sony T610 with me. But freak, after he flew off, I realized the T610 I have has some prob: there's some problem with the charging mechanism and now, it's lying dead on my desk! Sian...now have to fall back on my very very old Nokia 3330! Freaky hard to use with those few buttons...hope I could get back his N95 soon so I could get back my sweet 'lil N73 soon!
We normally don't cherish what we have until we lose them...

Happy 25th Birthday to CK

Today is CK's birthday and we already had our 'lil group outing on Saturday to have a mini celebration. Due to tuition and late confirmation, CK, please pardon me for my late appearance...
Let's digress a bit...today while I was gymming at Kallang, there were tons of girls there. It's just interesting...and after some asking around, I got to know that there was some National Stadium awareness program to let people know about its history and get a last chance to shoot some photos before demolishing it. So I took this same chance to have a last look at it...

Our glorious National Stadium...

...again, it's the narcissistic me!

Smokkka!

Mystical wine glass. I took this picture at the pub...
The foreseeable future is never foreseeable...

Always Thought All Factories Mass Produce...

I was deployed to Suntec City NCC for work yesterday so for lunch I thought must as well queue for donuts from Donut Factory since the queue is normally exactly one hour long as well...I normally wouldn't queue for this kind of stupid things but (of course there would be a but) this was some big task handed down by my in-charge. So I thought like that could extend my lunch period and also can get some for myself and an NS friend I got out Harry Potter and my auntie who came back to Singapore for a short work trip.

I thought this is a pretty decent view I got out of this narrow corridor at the end of the one hour queue...

Donuts! Donuts! All sorts of donuts fresh from the ovens...
The Harry Potter show this friend got was scheduled to screen at 11.30 pm so from after work 'til then was a long period of time...so we went window shopping at Marina Square...really window shopping 'cos all the stores were already closed and we saw some hanky panky in action...

Ha! Astro Boy caught red-handed...

Chip! No mushroom humping in public!
...and nicely before the show was our donut supper...at McDonald's!

3...2...1...

...donuts-in-box!
Assorted love...

Good Old Pals...

This post should be put up a 'lil earlier but being late is better than never...it's quite strange how I lost contacts with my Sec 3 Sec 4 classmates while I still remain in touch with my Sec 1 Sec 2 classmates. However, as each of us got on with our busy lives, these half yearly outings are coming later and later from those dates they were scheduled. But it doesn't matter I supposed 'cos each time we meet, those old days were like yesterday...
This time round, we had our dinner at Sakae Sushi Restaurant at the Hereens and we had guests from 1A 2A class as well as some other guys from our own class on top of the usual 5 of us...

We have ehh...Shuming, Yanchai, CC, Yihan, Larry, me!, SD, BY, Benedict and Teckchew...should have got wide lens camera 'cos GQ and JY got cut off...
Nobody never misses those good old days, but in life, on we have to move...

Huh? What Tea?

Haven't been updating my blog for a long long time. So far, many things had happened. Great memories: happy ones sad ones and I guess it's going to take me quite some time to recount them...I'll find time to see if I could slowly put up the pictures I wanted to.
I got a job at Nokia Care Center as a part time promoter for this summer vacation. Oh no! Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those walking bibles for Nokia phones and not one of those you could ask for Nokia phones at staff rate. My job there was to promote awareness for Nokia software upgrade or NSU. You know now you could do NSU at home...and blah blah. And I'm not going to preach about it like I do at work.
All I'm going to say about it is that it's a boring job. So most the time I hide in the back room to avoid being jumped on by customers with bad phones. So finally today those technicians asked for my name. I said Samuel and they went huh and they got it as simmee (meaning what in Hokkien). Really I didn't know I was so bad at pronouncing my own name. Eventually they got hold of my surname, and my name in full, thus, became simmee teh i.e. what tea! Duh! But life there is fun lah 'cos they kept calling me daxuesheng (meaning university student in Mandarin). Sadly, my term with them is coming to an end real soon.
Simple equation of life: simplicity + happiness = constant!
