heez it’s pretty late but i wanted to post this b4 i go zzzz.

I GOT MY INTERNSHIPS!! :beam1

yup both of them!! :grin1 went for 2 interviews last wk, one at E*, another at D*. and i got both! like how cool is that?! so i’m gonna hv to reject one tho..pretty sad but i realli prefer one over the other. i only applied for both cos i have 2 spaces and it’s betta to have backup mah.

and last tues and this thurs when i got the results, i felt so glad and blessed? realli thank GuanYin tt i managed to get my internship at P** over the summer hols. cos i think havin tt on your resume really does wonders. in fact durin both interviews, i was asked questions abt my internship there. reallie can’t believe how i managed to get in last time even tho my results sux, when this time so many ppl applied but not all got it. bcos if i hadn’t had P** on my resume, i can confirm+guarantee+chop that i wouldn’t have got the call for the interview this time cos my results are so bad! i think it’s quite amazing thinkin back abt it. like aft first yr, without any knowledge, i juz anyhow whack and applied to 3 places. 2 called me for interview, but only 1 accepted me. so of course i accepted them cos they’re good . after 2nd year, i amazingly decided to try and whack for another internship even tho all my frens were waiting till end of the year for MT. i applied 2 but only 1 called me for interview and accepted me. so of course i accepted them cos they’re good. now i applied 2 and both got. i hope this lucky streak continues in future! really feel thankful tt it has worked out for me all these times. sorrie but feelin abit bhb. feel proud of myself tt i had the ‘foresight’ to start on internships early and tt i managed to mk it thru all of them. guess i prolly hv to thank Mei for all this. for teachin me to start earli, and both she and ah ma encouraging me to juz try even tho it seems impossible. i realli hope tt this one will go well aso, and tt they will offer me a job. P** didn’t offer me leh..cos i think too earli and the rest aso din get offers. But i heard K*** offered a school mate of mine leh! so i reallie hope tt this one will work out well and tt i will get a good offer from them.

i knoe i told the whole world dat i love P** and tt i will defn wanna go back there. but thinkin abt it now, i think experience reallie helps. it’s good to go to another company and see the corporate culture there. don’t be mountain :turtle: haha! i do like D* so i reallie hope they offer me aft this and dat i dun screw up. so scared tt i will..cos they kinda like employ me based on my past relevant/gd experience.

and i’m so thankful tt i got my D* even tho they asked quite difficult qns last wk. am so glad tt i applied to both and got both, and tt i got them during the first tier and don’t have to wait till 2nd tier like some of my frens.

i guess, i do feel abit sad for those who didn’t get it this time round and have to wait till 2nd tier. yet sometimes, i feel it’s not really my biz? i’m sorry i’m not a good fren, i’m unethical, i’m morally incorrect. to each his own. why should i care abt you when u’re gonna be competing with me next time for a job? if you don’t get it, it’s your biz. do something abt it to improve yourself. don’t ask me for my cover letter. :finger: don’t be ridiculous. neither will i give you my resume. i’m sorry but i am anal abt this kinda stuff. esp if u’re in direct competition with me. like harlow, don’t be crazy can? den u still sarcastically reply me “thanks lor” when i refused. :poop: i’m really sorry again. i may be your fren, but when it comes to the crunch, dog eat dog. what if i help u now and u win me nxt time? u’re obviously gonna win me cos of your grades alrdy! your grades are like so good laioz! i don’t think you need any help from me lor. i’m doin all this to differentiate myself from the ppl like you who have such good grades. if i were to help u, den wat kinda differentiation would i have then? nobody would want me then. so yes, now you know. who reads this? i’m selfish. i’m not a good fren. :noshake: i mean, normally i will help in other things. listen to you or anythin tt doesn’t require me to help you move ahead in the rat race. aiya wtf lah, i dunno how to say it lah. somebody kill me can, i am so evil.

gosh talkin abt it juz pisses me off and mk me angry+unhappy+upset. okie lah dun think abt it liaoz. will reply both companies either tmr or Sun nite. gotta remind Sean when i do aso. right off to bed now! :sleep1

The Things I HATE

5 Replies

If there is one thing I hate, it’s the sounds that wake you up in the morning. The number one most hated sound on my list has got to be the sound of drilling. not sound of music haha! actually if it’s like those radio alarm clock, even if u get like Linkin Park in the morn or smthn it’s not tt bad lah. the worst is drilling!! grrr. okie lah i know i wasn’t supposed to sleep that late. technically it’s not really morning liaoz lah k. but considering the long day i had yesterday, i deserved to be rewarded by having a longer sleep today! trust dat blardy contractor, whoever he is, whichever house he is in, to wake me up. i couldn’t sleep aft that! :cuss:

If there is one more thing that I hate, it’s those people who step into the lift first, hide in one corner, and refuse to press the “DO” button or even press the floor that they are going to. !@##$%^&* seriously man, who the shit do you think you are? why must i press for you man? i mean, it’s juz basic courtesy rite? if u step into the lift first, u help lah! i was soooo tempted to ask her “how come u cannot press?” but cannot. my dad was around, betta not fight.

If there is another thing that I hate can’t stand, it’s those super skinny people who eat and eat and dun get fat. ok lah maybe those people are ok. the worst are those who are super skinny and complain that it’s gross that they are so skinny (whether they eat a lot or not). seriously leh, it’s fashionable to be skinny and you still complain?! fat ppl like us try to watch what we eat and find it so hard to lose weight and there u are complaining that you can’t gain weight. hmm with all the mesotherapy and what not available nowadays to help ppl lose weight, mebbe they shld come up with some new technology that can transfer fats from one person to another? wahahaha! :whatever:

seriously, what’s with the bombings? how can they do this to their own people? not that i would ever go to Bali lah..it’s not one of my dream destinations, but it is quite expected that tourism would have improved and then they decide to hit again. and they blame the westerners for their poor living conditions and lives and poverty etc. when they hurt themselves.

saw the report in Life on Sunday abt fake signatures on credit cards? gosh i wonder if i shld ever try that..i think i will be hauled to jail! esp since every1 would be on the alert now. but darn funny lah..sign as “superman” or “miss piggy” or “madonna” on the charge slip. haha..what shall i sign on mine? britney? raine? rainbow? wahahha! but i think if i were to be in the svc industry, i would be quite mad with the recent reports in the papers. first it was the thing abt bad service. then now this. seems like if i were a svc industry person, i muz watch out for so many things!!! where got time and energy esp if it’s the busy period with lotsa customers?? not tt i’m on their side lah..i’ve had my fair share of bad service. mind u i’m alwayz nice to them k, even when i’m in a pissy mood. i alwayz say “sorry” b4 i ask a qn, and alwayz thank them aft they ans me. and if my card were to be stolen, i would want them to be vigilant too!

anw, went and bought myself some earrings today. costume ones lah..not even real silver but 1 buck for a pair only, so i’m happy! i onli hope it doesnt like, spoil so fast or so easily. dats the problem with cheap stuff. the funny thing is, cheap stuff tends to break down easily. yet conversely, it doesn’t mean that expensive stuff are good or do not break down easily. why leh?

tryin to do research now for projects. i realised i still have a lot of stuff left to prepare for my bday. i didn’t know until juz now. anw, hv to clear projects first, esp ethics. sux like shit. horribly difficult qn. but i think the projs i’m doin this sem like quite interesting lor, so it’s fun to read up and..find out more. sigh. now if i can only apply the same interest to my readings. somehow, it’s different when you read textbooks and when you read stuff online that you’ve found thru research.

see..i hv AA, den ethics, den AA talk, den AMA interview. this wkend, will hv another AMA tk home test. gotta finish both AMA and ethics by next Fri. sux like crap. :shake:

i’m singing, take cover pls!

okie so mebbe i’m in a pissy mood again. :rant: sue/shoot/whatever me okay. but if you’re ONLINE it means u’re free to talk what. there is a reason why there is a BUSY mode rite?! if u’re BUSY u put BUSY lah! den at least i know u busy i won’t dare to msg u. even if i do, at least i’m prepared that u will tk a longer time to reply me or smthn. rather den u put ONLINE and i happy happy msg u but u tk so long to reply me and sound all busy and bothered and pissed and cut me off halfway. :cuss:

anw, went for singing rehearsal juz now. like madness lah. since when can i sing? i thought it was just like the normal ward tours with percussion instruments, so when Pat asked me, i agreed lor. den suddenly when i went today, he said i must sing! wth. like the other 2 volunteers there are like..seasoned singers? they sound so good lah! what alto, soprano, tenor, bass. it’s quite depressing and demoralising actually. Nick says i’m just a “monotone” haha! which i so agree lah seriously, since i can’t sing. dunno wat i’m doing there. but nvm lah i had fun actually. i mean, i suck at singing but i still do like to sing. haha doesn’t mk sense lah rite? mebbe i’m like those AMI/SI rejects who still want to continue singing and insist that they can sing even tho the judges booted them out??? haha! i’m lookin forward to unleashing my horrible singing prowess on the kids! haha! :cool1

well, went to the AA’s Jazz Nite last Sat aso as part of volunteer work. it was quite a cheater actually..cos u don’t actually have to pay so much for the tix! Tix were at $45 or $65 depending on whether or not you were a member. But if u entered the park by the back way (not the front arch where they collected the moneY) u can actually just go in for free lah. the music was pretty cool..some parts were alrite but other parts rock. i loved the jazz rendition of..shucks wats the title of dat song? the one by Stephen Bishop from the Tootsie soundtrack? it was so good i got goosebumps! anw we were all starving cos we didn’t have dinner and the food there was so exp!! luckily towards the end of the event, as the ppl were clearin food, they gave it to us free! like how shiok man! it was food from Michaelangelo okie! dun pray pray ah! :thumbup:

so wat else hv i been busy with? can’t seem to think now. am. so. tired. been up since this morning and had the ACL test. hope i can pass. hoping to do well so that at least part of my grades are assured. but i doubt leh. my class got so many other zai grps. dun think my grp is dat good. juz hope i get..a minimum of B? yea dat shld be gd enuf.

in the past one month or so, i dunno why but i’ve suddenly realised that hving a car can be very irritating as well? it sux like crap when u can’t find a parking space and have to circle round the darn carpark for ages to find a free lot. and nowadays, those HDB or shopping centre car parks all pay by cash card, so u can’t even mark up yr marking coupon! so the moment u enter, they start charging u, but becos u can’t find a lot and drive around countless times, it’s like 15mins to half an hr b4 u finally get a lot and utilize the carpark. but by then it’s too late cos they would hv charged u!! for circling round the darn place! even tho u din use any lots! but sometimes it’s like how shiok to hv a car to go anywhere and everywhere man. sigh.

okie i think i reallie need to crash. :blank1

wahlau i am like how stoned now. trying to fill up a grant application form for MFG just now. first time doing this. blardy difficult lah! :rant: okie lah it’s part of what i’m supposed to do, but really, do those guys really need all these info from us? how do they really evaluate us and decide whether we deserve the grant?

Parkway Holdings bought a 31% stake in a Malaysian medical group, Pantai Holdings. apparently Parkway’s gearing is likely to be affected after this buy. now what the hell is gearing, i totally forgot. amount of..equity to debt. so if you need to compare Parkway and a competitor, say Raffles, cannot just compare like that, cos confirm Parkway gearing sure a lot higher, but it’s due to their buy in the M’sian company. which may not be that bad in the long run cos they are expanding to the region. so much money to expand, why don’t use the money here and reduce medical costs? and how come Pantai Holdings managed to do so well this year? not that i have any time to go check any financial results.

also, apparently, aviation industry is doing badly cos of oil prices. so they must increase ticket prices. but really, oil costs mk up how many percentage of their total costs? actually i dunno exact figure but i think it’s not much lah. haha! and then i read about some..SQ and Qantas stuff sometime during the past few days. something abt how Qantas handles the baggage in Australia for SQ but contract end and they never renew, so..SQ in SG decide not to renew Qantas contract in SG aso. or something lydat. cannot remember already lah. then i suddenly thought abt the BA strikes. one small decision can affect a lot of other operations in one airline/company. skali no1 handle baggage, all baggage handlers go on strike, baggage all lost. who lose most money? issit airline? but then airline always transfer the costs to consumers, so consumers die.

intellectual property rights. protecting whose rights? for whose good – mine or the big companies?

wah!! people got charged in court for making racist comments on their blogs!! apparently the court used dunno which Act to charge them. this Act came into effect a million years ago but was never used. jiak lat!!! now canot anyhow scold people liaoz!!! watch out amanda!! haha!! so how much can i say here? if i really don’t like, don’t complain to my diary den complain to who? don’t like don’t read my diary lah!! there was some debate abt this right – whether a blog is really pte or not, not that i can remember the actual conclusion. but i betta be careful now liaoz ah!! so canot scold ppl you know in case they see your blog, cannot make racist comments, cannot do this cannot do that, blog for wat?!

why am i rambling? :cuckoo: i aso dunno. i just talk but never think. got fed up with filling up the grant appln form, so i went to surf the net. now i’m too tired to complete the rest of the form. i shall do it tomorrow. tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow always never comes. g’nite. :pity:

P.S. i dunno who the hell reads this but if i ever complain here about how i can’t seem to start on my readings, pls be nice and msg me on MSN or SMS me to scold me can pls? nag and push me!!! so much shit to study. damn sian.

Your personality is pure good. You’re like an
angel, always ready to help those who…well,
need your help. You spend a lot of time
watching over the people of whom you care,
because you love them. Cheery, bright, and open
are just a few of the words that could be used
to describe you. You are the bearer of many
friends and secrets, because people trust you.
Keep up the great work!

Mondays are the worst days of the week. not bcos it’s the beginning of a new week, but bcos i always don’t get enough sleep the night before.

ok so i normally stay up till 1+am to watch tv. my bad. but it’s My Date with a Vampire III!!! i grew up with this show!! i watched it in sec sch!! how can i not watch it now? and ma xiaoling’s legs are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. she’s always in a short skirt so u can really ogle at her legs. then there’s the charismatic bupo and to a lesser extent, tianyou! so yes i should be tired by the time the show ends, seeing that it ends so late. but strangely enough, every Sunday without fail, i always cannot sleep until 2+,3am.

then there’s AMA at 8.30am on Mon. sux like crap esp when he asks so many questions that i don’t know how to answer. not that he picks on me. yet. then there’s IPR str aft. no lunch ok! and prof just talks and talks. how not to be tired?

and from this week on, there’s gonna be the AMA proj meetin aft that. crap my brain was fried like an hr into the meeting. we suddenly had the additional task of explaining the some House’s Expectancy Theory model thing which i swear i’ve never seen in my life, not even in OB class. unless well, i threw it back to the prof. but i’m quite sure i didn’t.

feelin in a pissy mood now bcos my sister keeps insisting on wanting me to join them on a holiday. heck why the f— wouldn’t i want to go on a holiday? but she wants to go on a cheap, extended tour at the end of the year. I cannot. yes if you didn’t already know, i want to do another internship again at the end of the year. an audit internship, during the peak period of the audit department, cos that’s when you can learn and get an experience as close to the real thing as possible.

maybe i’ll be tired at the end of the year, maybe i’ll be tired in MT next year, maybe i’ll be tired in summer next year, maybe i’ll be sick and tired of working even before i have formally graduated and started work. but for now, for now i want this internship at the end of the year. maybe i’ll lose the drive eventually, but not now. i don’t feel i’m in a bargaining position with the company to tell them to let me start a week later and work a week more at the end so that i can go on an extended holiday. i don’t want to take the risk. who knows whether you will meet some bitch who die die want you to start and end like everyone else? and besides, supply would probably be more than demand, seeing as so many of us would wanna do an internship at the end of the year. i don’t want them to say, hey we don’t need you at all, go for your holiday. if i’m the only intern in the dept, it shouldn’t be a problem, like ralph. but considering that there will be a whole bunch of us in audit, going in later is going to be darn weird. not least that i will be alone and different; it’s just disorienting. i’m a kiasi Singaporean i admit. i don’t want to agree to go on a holiday, have them book it and then if i get into a situation where i cannot start work a week later, what the hell are we gonna do with my place in the holiday tour?

of course this is all assuming that i do get an internship this hols. if i don’t, so be it. i’ll find a part-time job, hopefully related to my degree. and in this situation, i would be able to start work later. but by the time i actually know that i’m not accepted for the intership position, it would probably be too late to book the holiday.

so i’m pissed because i already told her to just go ahead but she isn’t. ignore me really. leave me alone. i never went anywhere during summer because of you. i wanted so badly to go abroad aft my summer internship but because she took so darn long to decide, by the time we started calling up agencies, it was too f—ing late. whose fault was that? well i was darn cheesed off but i survived that. no biggie if i go through another internship while you guys go off on a holiday. i would rather you all go and leave me here than to try and fit me in, and take such a long time that in the end everyone can’t go anywhere at all.

jiak lat!! week 3 over liaoz and my readings still havn’t start!! :shake: die liaoz!! can’t start! so boring! so sleepy! so sianz!

anw..i can’t even rem hw my wk went haha. it was okie i think. sun nite was bad. hai. bie ti le. dats why mon morn was quite stoned. tues went for a talk to whistle blowing! it was okie..not reallie up to my expectations but interesting to know loh. i asked a qn, and i was so proud of myself. but the speaker nv ans me properly!! evaded the whole thing and juz repeated wat he said during the presentation. like huh!? wth?!

he said whistle blowing is more common in places like the US than in Singapore. he thinks that if we could have a support system in place here, perhaps more people would come forward to blow the whistle. he recommended having an independent body that the whistle blower can report to, where there will be people who will listen to him and advise him on what to do, and there should also be financial rewards (up to 15-30% of the recovery amount) for the whistle blower. the independent body should also help shield the identity of the whistle blower until the appropriate time and the money is to help tide him over till her finds a new job.

well yea it all seems hunky dory. financial rewards, support sys, yada yada. but reallie, do u think it can reallie tk off here in SG? i think it’s the attitude of the people here that needs to be changed. true, perhaps the money and support can motivate the whistle blower. but will it be enough? the culture here, as we’re taught from young, is to keep quiet, do the right thing, mind your own business, don’t look for trouble. most people wouldn’t want to look for trouble and whistle blow cos we’re kia-si people. you could appear in the news, get ostracised, get sued, watever. dun think many ppl would wanna look for this kinda trouble. so i don’t really think the support sys would help much; we should instead start with educating our people. but oh well, the speaker didn’t understand what i mean. my dada did, and helped me to ask him again by specifically saying, “do you think we should focus on educating the people?” but he aso nv really ans. :eek1

oh wells watever. went to Ai Wo today. haha interesting concept and style of cooking, but i doubt i will go back there again. not that worth the price. it’s..kinda like stuff dat i can find at home anw.

one last rant b4 i go: sometimes some people are just so smart u feel so darn stupid. sometimes they raise such intelligent points/questions in class and the prof says, “good point/question!” or “you’re looking at the next CEO of watwatwat.” and you just feel so stupid. like hey, that point makes sense, why didn’t you think about that?! sux like crap. so when u have people like that in your class, you are scared to speak up, cos if you say something wrong, you will look and feel even stupider. haiz. :poop:
