Of Mahjong Tiles and Mandarin Classes

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Sigh. Am at work now. 4:30pm. Just completed clearing the 100+ emails that came in. Now resting for a while before I go downstairs to clear the mails that are piling up. In case you din know, i’m now a receptionist. Yes yes yes. My new job is being a receptionist. LOL. ARGH. Irritating ppl asking irritating questions that could’ve been easily answered IF they only read the website!!!!!!! NVM. Sometimes i find it so nice to have the power to tell ppl that they are NOT qualified to be in SMU. How evil that is. But I LIKE. Coz these are the ppl who think taking short cuts and all will land them in SMU. Think again man. And then there are ppl who think just coz they have straight As in their results, they can be ya ya papaya and ask for a straight admission without taking part in the admissions exercise.  MY FOOT. Many ppl get As!!!!

Ok. Enough whining about my ‘receptionist’ job.

Monday was BAD. My luck was BAD. Or shd i say, i din have enough luck. Chin2 said it was her first time playing mahjong seriously. Well, i shd know better than play with beginners, coz she really really has ALL the beginner’s luck. By the time we were halfway thru the game, i had become cursing her all the time. LOL. Not that i meant it lah. I was super frustrated with my cards tho. Walau eh… So many times i have half color or full color or waiting for one card, but our dear chin2 will game! URGH!!!!! Teach her how to play big cards, the next moment, she’s winning the maximum points! How can like that!!!!! Luckily Ron was the big winner so i paid Ron and ended up paying Chin2 10cents. LOL. Luckily i not that BIG a loser, coz Sylvia also lost almost as much. mwahahaha… Sighz. I really need to improve on my luck. Where was all the luck that was with me when i was playing BlackJack with my family! Walau eh!!!!!

Anyway, Ron, Sylvia and Chin2 now belongs to the ging gang gully gully gang. Who ask them to bully me during mahjong! HMPH

Tonite, i need to go for Mandarin Class. Sianz. Thinking about the Song Lao Shi makes me sleepy already. Sighz. Dunno why i convinced myself that this class was the best to go to. Maybe coz it was near SMU lah. MAYBE. but the class itself really very boring. By the first 15 mins of each class, i’m dozing off and seeing things on my book. ARGH. and the teacher’s english pronounciation sometimes make me wanna slap her. She pronounces Mouth as Mouse. How can right!?!?!

Hahaha.. But at least Sim aka Ashley is in the same class as me lah. So i can always disturb her. She used to be a lil more serious. Now i think she also cannot tahan liao and joins me in making fun of everything the teacher says and do, and everything that the teacher’s pet (this really old man) does. LOL. Today i brought my kit kat pencil that she bought for me (she was so complainy coz i din bring it– dun want it to spoil mah!!!!) Anyway, the kit kat pencil very cute leh. Sighz. I very heart ache to use it coz i so chor lor, sure sooner or later the small mock pink kit kat will break away from the pencil one loh. Sighz…

Anyway, i can’t wait for Friday. hehehe.. Something’s happening to someone but i can’t tell coz if i do, i’ll die a horrible death. MAYBE i’ll write about it AFTER it has happened. Which reminds me, i have to quickly rush out the photo montage i’m doing for Swan coz i’m meeting her before the something happens.

I AM SO BORED! I mean, i love where i’m working. Great ppl, Great Surroundings, very accessible and i love the campus (i try to walk thru it at least 3 times a week just to pretend i’m still studying there!). Loads of eye candy here as well. hahaha. and it’s not as rigid as i tot it to be. In fact, it is pretty fun other than the times where i have to answer the phone, email and walk in queries. hehehe…

Ok. i think i better end here. I think i better go get the mails or not i’ll forget again. Sighz. So lazy to walk but better walk lah, no good to keep sitting on my tummy the whole time.

A very serious post: A story about a Village Head Man

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

(Wanted to post this earlier but then saved it as a draft coz din have time)

This post very serious ok. My personal experience so listen up. I think i just wanna bitch lah.

This is a story about a village chief, whose head was as bald as the bowling ball. Anyway, he is a fair and just guy, or so he says, and runs his village with an iron hand. He is teaches his villagers how to be better people and how they should respect one another and other non-villagers. Everyone was impressed with the village head and mostly everyone liked him.

So anyway, there was a new villager that was invited to stay in this village (Let’s call her X). The new villager soon brought in another villager (Y) to stay in the village.

Now… the chief was a very strict chief. He laid down a lot of rules, esp one that says a villager shdn’t fall in love with another villager. He tried to put on a fair front, but he always had this favourite villager (Z), who eventually fell in love with Y. The only thing is, they started ignoring all other villagers and got wrapped up in their own world. Other villagers (X included) started avoiding this couple.

Somehow or rather, the chief got worried about his village since he turned a blind eye to this rule of "not falling in love with another villager" and now the situation got worst. He needed someone to blame, so he decided to blame X (poor x!). He came up with multiple reasons on why X shouldn’t stay on in the village and in the end, X left.

The chief felt relieved. He thought that now, the village would be safe and happy again, since his beloved Y & Z are happy. But not for long, because X had a very good friend in the village, H. H was unhappy and depressed for a long time, not only because of wat was happening in the village.

Anyway, because the chief loved Y & Z a lot, he would listen to them a lot, even if it was nonsensical. In the end, he accused H of not being a friendly villager and asked her to buck up. The point is, Y & Z were the ones that ignored all other villagers and everyone could see that, but the chief was BLINDED. STUPID CHIEF.

So H decided to also leave the village. What happens next? I really dunno coz this story will not have an ending. It’s just my bitching that matters now. I guess X should be happy she left the village coz it was all bullshit anyway. Whatever the chief had preached he never did act on it. Yet he wants to be all righteous. Gimme a break! HMPH

On a separate note, Vday was GREAT! The next day was CRAP. =p

Love is in the air!

YUCKS. yet another dot in my life. THen at work, my outgoing phone calls got barred! Yes it did! I paid the wrong sum (looked at the wrong one) and i always have the habit of holding on til the last minute before paying. hahaha.. i guess i deserved it lah. then, i got really really really REALLY irritating calls from the most irritating ppl anyone can find! ARGH. And there were couple of weirdos who stepped in and started mumbling to themselves or do funny involuntary body actions. Sighz. By the time evening came, i was feeling very bitchy and kept snapping at Ron (poor thing also lah, hahahhaa)
