a long break during lunch

Today, it's bascially a very tiring day. When i stepped into the classroom at 9am this morning, i realised that the tutor is really familiar. I then knew who is he. He was invited to give a talk about 4 seasons hotel during one of the last few BESE lectures in the previous semester. He is the one who kept pacing up and down. His habit is still there. OMG! We'r going to suffer from dizziness for every wed morning lesson. Our project for tis lesson is combined with another module. We are going to propose a club in Pula Ubin. Guess we may need to get down there one day to explore just like what we did for marketing in year 1.2. Yeah, i think we will be having a great fun with this project as it seems quite interesting.


After the lesson ended around 11am, sheng loong, Purdee and I headed to Vivo City for lunch. Since we had 3h lunch break, we went to shop there after eating at Kopitiam. I finally bought the card for myself for future convenience. During this shopping trip, i bought a set of sports wear. I got a le coq sportif women shirt at 27 plus as there's a sales going on in a shop at habourfront centre. Then we also went to Gaint supermarket to get my FBT shorts. Haha, finally i have a set of presentable sports wear. The colours (blue)for both are quite matching. We also bought a Puma ladies shirt for Weina as her birthday is this coming fri. So glad that she like the colour that we chose for her.


Lesson resumes at 2pm. We were all so unwilling to attend that particular lesson as the tutor seems to be luring us into our dreamland. Jus can't stand it. Hopefully, i can concentrate during his lesson from next week onwards. What i can do lei? Maybe drink more water? Haha... But i don't think it will help.... Ohya, this tutor reminds me of Mrs Quek, one of my secondary sch geo teacher arh... hahahaha.....


After that lesson, we attended a make-up lecture for mgt accounting from 4 to 5 plus. I also have difficulty concentrating during that period. Haiz, my concentration span seems to have decrease after the vacation.


The last even of the day was going out with Sharon to eat dinner at my favourite porridge store in Chinatown. The one next to the CK shopping store. Although i ordered the wrong type of frog porridge, it's still very delicious! haha....

1st day of school at Sentosa Tourism Academy

I woke up very early this morning for school. To my surprise, i did not had a good sleep last night. Just i must be too excited about the new environment that i'll be at for the coming whole semester.


So far, i feel that the school has a very nice ambience that is too relaxing for us to study. I always have the urge to tour and play around Sentosa with the sun, sand and water. I think i'll be going to be very tired from the coming weeks onwards. I have reviewed all the projects that are required to be done during this semester. I can start to feel the stress. There are total 6 modules. 4 of them are coursework based. Although so many of them are coursework based with no main exam paper, this means that i'm going to be super duper busy with the on-going projects. I think there are about 6-7 individual and group projects. OMG! !@#$%^


I was really happy that Sarah is able to crash lecture on every mon for mangement accounting and tues morning lectures. Therefore, we can have lunch together in this semester finally. Last semester, we rarely have a chance to have lunch. Thanks to you, Sarah, for being my tour guide today. At least i do not feel so lost by now.


Some parts of the academy are really dark. I hope i will not need to walk alone there. Haha. Today, i was scared by the sound made by peacock. At first i thought it was monkeys that are making the sharp noises. I didn't know that there is a peacock next to the parking area. Hope that i can see the peacock opening its beautiful feathers one day...


Overall, i was quite happy. I thought i will need to wake up very early if my class starts at 9am. Now i can jus wake up around 6.50am and go out by 7.30am, i'll be safe. We had also formed a project group by our own today. A few of them are actually Sarah's friends. It's such a small world after all... Hope that we'll have a lot of fun during project time.


In about half an hour's time, i have to log into ole bb to choose my next semester's elective. This time round, Sarah, Wenyi & I finally choose the same elective. Our choices are as followed, Ticketing & Reservation then Gaming Operation and last but not least Business Calculus.


I used to struggle if i should choose Business Calsulus because i did not take A maths during Secondary School time. If my school were to offer Normal Acad classes A Maths, i'll definitely that the challange this time.

Year 2 Sem 2 starts officially

It has been a long time that i haven't update this blog. The same rountine for me during the vacation. I had devoted most of time in temp jobs during the long break after exam. Somehow feel a bit listless after a continous rountine of working life. I had to wake up early in the morning and travel for about an hour to the office.
The first job was receptionist at a film distributor called Buena Vista Tristar Columbia. I worked there from earlier Sept to 3rd week of Sept. Overall, it was quite an easy job. I loved the environment of that office at clarke quey. It was filled with movie ambience that makes me so excited just like i used to work at Video Ezy.
After this job, i went to work at Prudential as a temp data entry. I was somehow upset when i got to know that the company do not need so many temp workers during my 2nd day of work. We drew lots to determine who shall stay for another 2 more weeks before our school starts. Of course, my luck is not that good. I even bought a new train concession before i got to know this. I was considered lucky as one of the temp workers wanted to rest for the last few weeks of her holiday. Therefore, i took over her position. At prudential, i had lots of fun with the other temp workers as all of them are poly students. Most of them are from TP.
Probably it's because of same generation, that' s why e miggled around very well. They always keep talking make the room filled with laughter. I was somehow in bad mood but their laughter had make me feel so relaxing during work. Xinli is another girl who worked with me during our last 2 weeks of assignment at prudential. At first, i thought i will have difficulty in communication with her as she seems to be a very cold person when i first talked to her. As i started to work with her, i feel she is also a very ncie person cum a perfect lunch buddy. i started to miss the days and fun that we had during that 2 weeks.
After that assignment, i continued another job at suntec. This was recommended by our travel and tour operation tutor. The fair is Trade show for Asia Travel Market. I find this was really a good exposure for me. I have never been to such tourism trade show before. It was really a rare opportunity for HTM students to be involved in this ITB Asia 08. It was the first ITB Asia that was held in Singapore. My job scope was really relaxing as Veralyn and I were both handling the CNN booth. We just need to ensure that the Media library that was sponsored by CNN is neat and tidy. Most of our time, we were reading their travel related magazines.
During this vacation, i had also went to Malacca with my school. I went together with Sheng Loong and Veralyn. Actually the trip alone is quite boring as we visited many musuems. It was actually the accompany of my 2 dearest frens that make it happening! We had lots of fun during the 2 nights of stay at the hotel. We played games like bomberman on psp, poker cards, truth or dare etc... hahaha....
During this vacation, i feel that i have been through a lot. Many of the unhappy things that occurred between him n me. Probably i really mind the little things that he did and said. Sometimes, i feel that guys are always insensitive to little things which girls will mind. I do not dare to say love in any relationship anymore as it's a big word afterall. I guess during this stage of life, i can only say it's like.
Many people had told me that if i like/ love a person, i will be able to accept his bad points afterall. I do not get it initially until i had a talk with cousin Joey last night. She had enlightened me with her perspectives on relationship. I guess i still need time to accept his bahaviour which i don't really like since the start. This relationship has taught me not to devoted all my feelings in any relationship. I have to admit that i'm too vulerable to be hurt once more. I am the type of person who needs a little bit of obessive partner so that i know he do cares for me afterall. Although I always carve for freedom from my family ,i also need a partner that can give me all his attention.
Many things had run through my mind for the past few months. I have thought of giving up this relationship but i can't bear to do so. He had asked me before this question: There were so's many bad things about him, why do i still like him? I don't know how to answer him. It's just the feeling that counts. In fact, i am most upset by the one and only thing. Not gambling nor smoking.
When i asked him if he was happy being with me. His answer was ok only, no special feelings as he has too many things waiting for him to do everyday. This sentence is just like a knife stabbed into my heart until now. The reason why i do not want to leave him till now is because i hope he can feel that i will always be there for him.
Whenever i mentioned this sentence to anyone, i will start to become emo again. No matter what, i will not give up on him as long as i know i'm still in his heart. What if he had no feelings for me at all one day? I will tell myself to live on without him eventhough it''ll be tough during the initial stage. Fiona, pls be more couragous in this aspect! Jiayou...!~
