Hey! Another update.

Since many of my friends had already listed/wrote down their new year resolutions and reflections, I shall list down mine too.

2009 - New year resolutions:

1) To become a better person overall and most importantly, in terms of characteristics.

2) To excel in year 1 studies (be it in JC/Poly, the former sounds impossible to enter though.. sighs. *sudden thought of O levels EL)

3) To manage financial spendings! Seriously.

4) To maintain good relations with my friends.. You guys are great. Haha.

5) And lastly.. to stop immatured acts (ehhhhhhh not as in on purpose acts k... I can never deny my heart is young! LOL omg this statement will surely cause people to puke la. -_-) and grow up. Yah.

OK, my 2008 reflections.

As a person - I think it's pretty neutral. I cannot deny the fact that at moments, I did made people sulk and think that I'm an/a (whatever nasty adjective you can use). And yeah, I realise I did mature.. I would deeply consider acts which I would do when I was 14/15. Hmm, emotionally i've also realised I became more varied? Instead of always sulking and being "emo" (NOTE: contradiction - I did mention in one of my blog posts that being "emo" doesn't always mean sad... but w/e.), I actually started to joke more.. even with friends whom aren't that close to me? And in turn I become much more joyful and happier! :D

My social relations - As mentioned, I've started talking more with people whom I don't really know well? Hmm. Being part of Inno and some other trips had made me appeared more friendly when I converse with strangers I guess. And friends-wise, I'm glad I found a clique which I belong in! For soccer-mates, I'm also glad they never put me harshly down when I really played poorly or whatsoever. I await the days whereby I can play soccer with you all again. Haha.

Knowledge-wise - Ehhhhh nevermind about books. Being overseas had certainly widened my knowledge-horizons about the world? Especially China? Haha. Yeah, work had also taught me how to deal with people. 

I guess that's all... I can't think well now. :/ I felt like I left out a lot of things I want to say.. But blah.. nevermind.. no one really read finish the whole thing anyway. RIGHT?! Hahaha. :P

To end my last post on 2008, I would seriously like to express my gratitudes for my family for providing me support in all forms whenever I'm like in deep-troubles, for my friends who never gave me up despite me being a really bad friend at times, for the HYSS Teaching staff for being there for me whenever I had questions in my studies and for everyone who had been reading this blog! :D Thanks a lot. I'm sorry if I left out any catagories.... whoever the case, thanks, thanks and more thanks.

4e2'o8, 2e3'o6, meet up anytime soon yeah? And oh yeah! PPS 6-5'o4 too! :D TIME FLIES.

People, tag me can?! I feel so ... not motivated to update because nobody tags. o_o"

And eh, my work-term is probably going to end around 4/5/6th january. I don't know. :/ Plus I think I'm taking leave on 2nd Jan. Yeah. 1st Jan going to work - 1.5x the pay rate. :X And tomorrow have to work as a lot of colleagues took leave alr.. so since 1st Jan i'm going to work, I think this is the first year whereby I won't count down to 2009 - although it is the start of a new year with brand new ambitions and everything!

But talk is cheap isn't it? Only accomplishing these goals via actions are worth mentioning.. Ganbatte!

And somethings I hate about morning shifts are..

1) Believe it or not.. during Morning I don't really have strength.. I don't know, perhaps because I didn't have my breakfast? So Morning is for moving stocks and topping up, great. :/ My strength/energy usually comes after break which is around 4/5pm. Blah. ><"

2) I'm SUPER-BLUR in the morning so... that doesn't need much explaining.

3) I'm always working alone in the morning. Somehow. Plus my colleague's taking leave on her last day tomorrow so yeah.. I'll be even more lonely!

But things I love about morning shifts are...

1) The supermarket closes @ 10.30pm, so for people having the afternoon shift, they can't really do OT I think. But for me, I reached xx supermarket (Did I mention which supermarket I'm working in?! O_O) at around 10am +. So I *THINK* I can (not too sure about being allowed or not :X) work from 10 to around 7/8pm, so it's like 1hour/2hour of OT everyday I work. :P And hey! I'm doing more work for the supermarket right~ Haha.

2) The supermarket is usually quite quiet during the morning time for weekdays... so yeah.. it's more peaceful working in the morning while topping up. Haha.

And somethings you can really do to piss a sales assistant..

1) When the sales assistant puts an item to it's front position, you turn it backwards............ never do that. seriously. 

2) Showing bad manners/being impolite when the sales assistant *might* be already having a bad day at work. Be considerate! (especially if your working as well.. so you should know how it feels like to work 7-10 hours or even 12 for some..)

I guess that's all. It's always ok to approach us if you have enquiries and questions, after all we're stationed around the supermarket to guide people on things they might be interested to find! :D

OK... So i remarked quite alot of things about my work.. TAG MY TAGBOARD PEOPLE! That's the reason why I even put 1 there. lol.

and eh.... yeah happy new year soon I guess. tomorrow's the eve.

OH and a very impt notice I guess!

I HAVE CHANGED MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO JS1692@HOTMAIL.COM! Please add me for those whom I have not added yet, as I might have left out some people. ): Sorry and THANKS! :D

Recently into old songs! Or rather those very slow-tempered songs whereby there is a sudden burst of emotions at the chorus part. ;P Including my all-time favourite, 那首歌 by 林宥嘉. 

Hmm, allow me to share a song today:

萧煌奇-  你是我的眼

如果我能看得见 

ru guo wo neng kan de jian 

就能轻易的分辨白天黑夜 

jiu neng qing yi de fen bian bai tian hei ye 

就能准确的在人群中 

jiu neng zhun que de zai ren qun zhong 

牵住你的手 

qian zhu ni de shou 

如果我能看得见 

ru guo wo neng kan de jian 

就能驾车带你到处遨游 

jiu neng jia che dai ni dao chu ao you 

就能惊喜的从背后 

jiu neng liang xi de cong bei hou 

给你一个拥抱 

gei ni yi ge yong bao 

如果我能看得见 

ru guo wo neng kan de jian 

生命也许完全不同 

sheng ming ye xu wan quan bu tong 

可能我想要的我喜欢的我爱的 

ke neng wo xiang yao de wo xi huan de wo ai de 

都不一样 

dou bu yi yang 


眼前的黑不是黑 

yan qian de hei bu shi hei 

你说的白是什么白 

ni shuo de bai shi shi me bai 

人们说的天空蓝 

ren men shuo de tian kong lan 

是我记忆中那团白云背后的蓝天 

shi wo ji yi zhong na tuan bai yun bei hou de lan tian 

我望向你的脸 

wo wang xiang ni de lian 

却只能看见一片虚无 

que zhi neng kan jian yi pian xu wu 

是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘 

shi bu shi shang di zai wo yan qian zhe zhu le lian 

忘了掀开 

wang le xian kai 

  

 
你是我的眼 

ni shi wo de yan 

带我领略四季的变换 

dai wo ling lve si ji de bian huan 

你是我的眼 

ni shi wo de yan 

带我穿越拥挤的人潮 

dai wo chuan yue yong ji de ren chao 

你是我的眼 

ni shi wo de yan 

带我阅读浩瀚的书海 

dai wo yue du hao han de shu hai 

因为你是我的眼 

yin wei ni shi wo de yan 

让我看见这世界 

rang wo kan jian zhe shi jie 

就在我眼前 

jiu zai wo yan qian

The slow rhythm and everything may bore some people but to me, it's the perfect song to describe some emotions?

Imagine if one does lose their eye-sight permanently, everything would change so dramatically.. People whom once treated you nicely might suddenly turn their back on you and become nasty towards you.. Inconsiderate people would step on the blind-guide on roads/MRT and obstruct your way.. and so on.. 

If you were to lose all but one of your senses (touchwood. <_<),>Would you forsake mobility for visibility and vice versa? Or losing the will of speech is the last time you ever want?

I ponder...

Yeah! I've counted, considering the 2 days off that I'll be taking (preferably on 4th Jan and 1st Jan ;p), I'll be making a total of 400+ bucks from my work! Haha. That's because I've been clocking in lots of OT hours I guess, working from 10 in the morning till 7/8 in the night. Lol.

I'm getting an iPod Nano! For sure. Haha, I want a dedicated Mp3 player. Yep.

And if possible, a bag would be good to kick off a new study term at my new institution next year. (That's IF my English grade isn't that bad....... w/e.)

Along with the iPN, I'm planning to get a FiiO E3 Amplifier OR Govibe Martini Amplifier with a dock. Hmm, I've surfed the forums and it's known that FiiO can't synchronize together with the dock. ): So... that's a dilemma.

But most of the time I just use my speakers to listen to songs at home.. o_o" Would getting a dock be a waste of money? Heh..

Gaaahhhhhhhhh I can't wait till I get my hands on that gadget! Mwuhhaha. :X

And finally I understand how hard it is to earn money but I'm sure the satisfaction derived when I get my desired items would definetely be well-worth the struggles!

Enough of the emo posts! Haha.

I've already thrown everything unhappy away. :D

Aiyo, really don't know want to blog what leh. ><" Everyday is just, work, work and work.

I heard next Monday our clique is gathering for dinner! :D That's great to hear.. (: I'll try to make it yeah? Hopefully can end on 7pm that day. 

My job is starting to get tiring but it's almost the same tasks everyday. Haha. I've got to know a lot of new friends~ :) The managers are also very friendly la and the boss (Supermarket manager to be exact) which was rumoured to be very very fierce, wasn't that fierce at all. Strict, well yes. That's his outlet right, it's only right that he does his job by looking and upholding discipline in all the staffs. Plus his doing a very good job already, I simply could not picture myself managing 100+ people with ease... I would faint. x_x"

Well well.. I've written some texts while being on the train alone.. Somehow the creative inspirations just comes to mind and I'm thankful I have a great phone which allows me type short stories (via Microsoft WordMo)! But of course, they're not for viewing.. all the different catagories - joy, remorse, unhappiness, anger .. I think. Maybe I'll just put one joy text someday.. Yeah. 

2 more weeks~ Sheesh.

Finally! The unease feeling is off my chest~ (:

The moment it left my hands, I knew it was all over. I knew I can finally put it down and concentrate on other aspects of my life. 

我不配.

As for this last aspect of my life, I never believed it could be a farce. From now on it'll be nothing like the real deal itself - which I onced foolishly believed. Heh.

This post is just.. a reminder/summary of my own naiveness. Yeah.

From now on, all the best to you. (:

就让沉默 代替所有回答.

Argh.

Started work today. Yeah, it was ok. Colleagues were friendly, managers were very nice and helpful. It was the perfect start for any newbies I guess.

Tasks-wise - they weren't full of challenge or whatsoever, basically just mix-and-match then drop it into the basket. Yeah. 

Hmm that's all.

Thanks for today also. ;D

I hope it's not too late now.

No matter how much I've attempted, I'm always failing in that aspect of my life and perhaps, in quite a lot too. However, this is life, so instead of plain lamenting and whining about everything, I've gotten everything planned out.

This trip is really a well seclusion from the hustle and bustle of city life - which seemed all too complex in the past. The simplicity of life I'm leading now is truly what appeals to me the most in life.

Time to clean up the mess I've created and join the pieces of my life which are in ruins and tatters.

May peace and order be restored once again!

Ok.

I've got a goal.

I'll pursue it.

You know, it's those type of goal (you could say it's a wonderful dream that initiated it) that makes you want to give everything up just for it.

But it's puerile, childish and silly to do so ain't it?

...nevermind.

Okok, the date's confirmed. I'll return to S'pore on the 21st of Dec. Yeah, that's all I guess.

yo! just a really short update from china. heh, i'm in shanghai now, so just in case if anyone of you was wondering.

gahhh i didn't take a lot of pictures as everything was in a rush ): but i'll try to take more. o_o"

welllllllllll so far the trip was excellent and i'm hoping it'll be better for the coming days. anyway, i'll be extending my trip as well, i'll edit this entry to update the new date of return to s'pore.

that's all.

Thanks everyone for your concern. (: I'm feeling much better now. Anyway, will be going overseas this Friday to the 14th Dec. Heh. I don't know if I can get souvenirs (I don't really have a habit of getting souvenirs whenever I go overseas) but I'll see how it goes.

The promise I made months ago. That I will wait. For the day whereby you might feel it's more comfortable to carry on. I want you to know I have not forgotten about it. Yeah.
