Went to redeem my points for my Privi Parco Card yesterday. Crap. I had enough points to redeem a $10 voucher from Littlematchgirl but because I went to redeem so late, the only two choices I had was a passport holder and complimentary coffee/tea coupons. Oh well. Considering the fact that more then half of my card points wasnt accumlated by spending money, who am I to complain? Anyone up for a cup of tea at the Intercontinal

My throat feels slighty sore. I didn't get a good sleep last night because I was woken up periodically by hacking fits. Hack.Cough.Hack. Sighs.

My aunt just email me from Macau! She is asking me to go to there for a shopping trip at Hong Kong! Wheeeee~ Should I? But I just got this job and I do not think its appropriate for me to take my first leave within my first week. Lol.

Work is bearable-ly fun.
The hours are long though.
Yesterday, my assistant manager asked me to extend my hours from 8 to 10, and don't know for what reason, I agreed. In actual fact, I didn't want to extend in the first place because I have choir practice. Gawd, I feel like kicking myself there and then. I can only take comfort in the fact that they are paying me a little bit more for weekends. So all ends well.

Oh, and we had a customer from Ireland yesterday. One of my supervisors had a little friendly chat with him and in the process, I learnt how to say "how are you" in Ireland-ish? (lols) I do not know how to spell it out but its pronounced as "Cumbactobay". I told my other colleague that and we had a good laugh because it sounds vaugely like "Come back to bed". Horny.

Oh. Time to have my breakfast.
Laters.

Okays, I managed to change the link to Oero's blog. Hahas. She moved from blogger.com to livejournal.com months ago but I keep forgetting to change. I have grown rather attached to her sister's posts in her old blog. Funny stuff.

Was supposed to have lunch with Sha-sha but she cancelled on me last minute. She had to stay in school until quite late so I went out with Dex instead. Three days in a row, and he's complaining. Blearh.

I am just idling at home. Four days and I am nearly going crazy with boredom. I either need to get a new job (that means having to go through with interviews again) or go back to my old job and try to adapt. Both ways, I have to make a lot of effort. If only life (and me choices) were a little bit more easy.

Christmas is NOT around the corner but a walk down Orchard road and you will be amazed at all the music and light displays. It annoys me really, how commericalised Singapore is. Spend, Spend, Spend, that is all it screams. And before you even notice it, they are putting up Chinese New Year decroations. Bbbrrrrr.....

I am feeling a little empty, a little disappointed, a little upset, a little stressful, a little mushy, a little happy, a little energetic, a little disturbed, a little grumpy, a little of a little of a little.
Can anyone come out with a word to describe all that I am feeling at this moment?

Life's been quite good.
Gave a card to Nisha and passed the present to Amansie for their birthdays. I hope they both liked what they have gotten from me.

And yes, my maths is finally over.
Just want to shout out a huge Thank You!!!! to all my friends who have been with me. Thank you Shih Han, Mansie, Mark, Lianas, Chans for supporting me all these while. Thank you for your patience, the encouragment, the care and concern. Thank you Nisha, Sam, Vanessa, Bern, Oreo, Quan Jie, Sarah,Williams for the sms-es. And for anyone else whom I have left out, a million, trillion, billion thanks!

A tired, sleepy but feeling accomplished me, makes a happy Rosemary.

Today's paper was relatively do-able. The strange thing is that I have forgotten to bring my formula sheet to school but I felt as if I didn't need it. I felt well-prepared yet not confident. What a mixed-up feeling huh? Anyways, when I got into the examination hall, guess which teacher I saw? Mr Francis Yap! hahas. Yea, he was my physics teacher for two years when I was in IJ and my class rather liked him. Looking at him brings back all those good memories of the lessons and when I was in the hall, this sort of gave me comfort. To be able to see a familiar face in an otherwise unfamiliar place. Then again, I use to study in BHSS but I still feel alienated when I went back there this morning. After counting the papers, he offered me a ride to Novena MRT station and I was on my way to have a quick brunch with Liana at Toa Payoh.

We had Japanese food for lunch! Yum.
We went up to "Fork and Spoon" (an all Halal food court) and I had gotten myself a Tori Terriyaki Don. The serving was quite big and the price was reasonable. A good steal. In fact, speaking of big, when the auntie came out with a freshly cooked pot of meso-soup, Liana and I were commenting on how nice Meso tasted and the Auntie said in chinese: "Hao he ah? Na, ni jiu na duo yi dian lor!" (Directly translated as: Nice ah? Then you take more la!) In the end, she gave this really HUGE serving of soup. Imagine three rice bowl worth of serving with little bits of cubed tufo. Sweeeeeeet.

After that, I came home to rest a little, then I went out to meet Dex. Walked around a little, looked around a little and had Pasta Mania. I also saw Aya with two other friends at Mos Bruger. What a coincidence! If only Tsu was there along with them... Oooh, and all in all, I managed to get the present and birthday cards for the birthday girls of this month! Lets hope I can mail it out in time so that "happy birthday" wouldn't end up as "happy BELATED birthday". hahas. When we were in Taka, I saw these adoringly cute (oh gawd, I don't believe I just said that) christmas cards on display! You know, every year I send out christmas cards to all those I know, I only get a few back. But it doesn't matter because I love sending out christmas cards to all my friends... makes me feel happy and joyful. Isn't christmas all about joy?

Now that third last sentence starts me thinking: For all those we have been faithfully recieving christmas greetings from me, how do you actually feel when you got them? Hm.

I was feeling extremely lazy today. Was out the entire morning/afternoon and every time I see a bench or chair, I feel like spending the rest of my day sitting in that one spot and people watch. Havn't been people watching for quite some time. I miss those days where I sit in one scheduled spot of a coffee house (with some friends) and chat as crowds of people pass us by, too preoccupied in their own little lives to notice us. Sighs.

I miss my Schoolmates/Friends/Kahkis/JRock-screamers/Anime-crazies/Coffee pals.....
This is a shoutout to all of you:
Especially to:
RK (Oreo, Chans, Vanessa, Bern, Sarah), Amansie, Sha-sha, Sakk, Tsu, Aya, The Twins (Bbta and Christina), the whole AA group etc etc ....
Rosemary Misses You Guys A LOT! A WHOLE LOT! *Smuchooes and huggles all around*

I so wanna meet up with Oreo and Chans. I still remember, at this very same time last year, we would be in the library mugging our asses off. When we feel tired, Oreo, Chans and I would wear our wind-breakers, take a short talk to the stone benches located next to the carpark, sing a few tunes to calm ourselves down. Those were the days....

Replies
Oreo: I will definitely be free after my papers. I'll give you a call and we'll arrange something ok, dears?

I am relieved to know that everything is fine between me and "that ord boy". He called me the other day and he sounded fine. Did I mention that I was glad?

The problem with my pay is finally settled. Apparently, it was my mistake because I saw the dates wrongly. I overlooked the month and copied down the wrong timings. My wrong. I hope the new manager didn't get much scolding but from what I heard from certain people (whom I shall not reveal), even if she did get some sort of scolding from the boss, she deserves it. Hm. I shall be my own judge. I really hope that she's not someone who is hard to deal with. And oh! I forgotten to ask my head chef if I could do permanent mornings, just like the last time. Mornings are usually very empty and I get to leave the place early! That leaves me half the day to do what I want to do.

Yeahs! My parents finally got the family an electonic toothbrush. I love the feel of clean teeth so I am positively addicated to the toothbrush. By the way, my mom said that that would be my early Christmas present. Which means, I don't get to anymore presents. Hrmph. Who said that 18 year olds can only be limited to one present a year. Protest! No fair! Hahas.

I found this on "Women's Weekly"(this month's issue), this is what it says for my horoscope:

This is not the time for you to barge ahead. Don't go too fast or you will miss important things alomg the way. Learn to slow down. If you are feeling unwell, try adjusting your diet and include a gently exercise routine. Stress is causing you to be off-balance. Make time for yourself ad draw boundaries - know when its time to say no.

Oh, how true it is!
I have been feeling exceptional down this entire week and Its nothing a good bit of exercise cannot solve. I have always been trying to get an exercising buddy but they are either living to far away from me or they have no time. Real sad. Anyone interested in exercising with me? heh. Preferably a girl la... for obvious reasons. PM me please.

Have you ever felt like slapping yourself because you did not realize you were insulted when someone insults you until the realization hits you a couple of hours later? At times like these, I think I easily overlook things because I am way too comfortable around someone.

A good example would be what happened early this morning when I was having brunch with my friend. I suddenly raised the topic of deciding whether to go to JC or Poly.

Me: *Between chomps of KFC chicken* You think I am more suited for poly or JC? All my friends said I am the poly type. What do you think?
Friend: Poly. Because JC would be too hard for you. There is C maths.
Me: Yea, I think so too. I mean, look at most of my friends who are in JC year 2, they are all studying like crazy.
Friend. Yea. ....I don't think you should go poly either. You should go to Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts to take singing or something.
Me: *stunned a little but realization still has not hit home yet* Hm.

Then, just now when I was having lessons with my tutor, I related this to him and his first reaction was:

Him: *Instant shock* Woah. Who's that friend of yours? So rude and sarcastic. If I were you, I would have given him/her a slap and walked away from this friendship. Even if I were to see him on the streets, I will pretend as if he/she not there. Tang Toh Ming de. (Pretend to be invisible, does not exist)

Hahas. I had a kick out of his reaction.

By the way, if you think that it's a compliment when someone tells you to go to an art school to take singing, it is. This is because it means that there is potential in you. But it turns into an insult when you are planning to do it FOR LIFE. I am not dissing the pop-stars because they have what it takes. It's a little different in my case though, it means I am doomed to be not able to do well academically.

Anyways, all this doesn't really matter to me now.
I have spent half of my life (metaphorically speaking, that is) worrying about what others think of me.
It's about time I start living for myself.

Ps: If you're reading this post , It's okay. I figured you did not say it on purpose so all is forgiven.
