Loser with a captial L.

I swear to God that I'm the biggest idiot alive. 
How can anyone be so S-T-U-P-I-D?!
.
.
.
Don't worry I'm fine. I'm just upset with my slow brains. 
'OMG Joyce, the blender doesn't work because you didn't even switch on the main power switch. And you called the boss to tell her that it's spoiled.' Seriously.

And...

Lady points to the icecream beside brownie. 'What flavour is this?'
'Mint!', I grinned.
'I told you I wanted hazelnut!!'

So proves that my brain doesn't really process stuff.

SOOOO sucky. I also worked like a cow today, from 10am to midnight. Full shift, no dinner, and a packed lunch of cucumber and carrot sticks and an apple. The one and a half extra hours comes because the bloody sales didn't tally; and maths and I are still not the best of friends. I can't count $ for nuts, damn it. Mother told me yesterday that the labour law states that after 8 hours of work, the subsequent hours are deemed as overtime. I doubt I would have OT pay. Even if I have, the mistakes I make in sales would equate my OT to nought.

And I got mixed up 2 people's livejournal usernames. Hilarious Joyce, you're a natural commedian.

And the overly ambitious me emerged yesterday- I signed up for the Go Global Business Case Competition and I'm on the waiting list for Young NTUC's Youths for an Inclusive and Competitive Singapore thingamajing. My May weekends are all packed, and it's a tradeoff for my MG P3 kiddos concert and ihope. SIGH. If only I could attend all, and not to mention 2 of my special special special (wah x3!!!) friends birthdays too. PLus I really need to get on the roads again with my driving practicals. I'm SO slacking off. 

Tomorrow's the official last time I'm seeing my WORLDview mates- for a debrief and an appreciation dinner. :*(

This is one incoherent post. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

No more brain juice.

  1. I am frickin' tired. My feet is beyond sore after working 10 hours today. My right hand is numb from scooping so much gelato. Business was super brisk, because it's a Sunday after all.
  2. I am overly ambitious. I want to sign up for GoGlobal (in addition to support Khai and Chew Yee), Youths for a Competitive and Inclusive Singapore (YCiS), iHope (to support my MG/AC friends and I could do with some erm, spiritual reconnection), and Dream On 2007 (actually I submitted my registration to Carmen a long time ago and I have to check on its outcome). HOW NOW BROWN COW. Schedule is over-flowing. I know, I'm so eager and enthusiastic, but it's such a great time to gain exposure, get out of my hermit shell and you know, learn more. That never hurts, does it. Oh wait, it's at the expense of cultivating healthy relationships. :(
  3. I can't volunteer at the RDA as often as I used too, because of my new job. I MISS DAWN + ELSPETH ALREADY. <3 And the 2 Johnathans, Gemma (she's such a sweetheart), hobbit (oops, my inside joke with Olie), the horses (esp Robin and Elle), Bee, Terri and Caitlin, those lovely trainers- though sometimes they yell at me because I treat the horses too kindly. Haha. I'll go back soon, trust me. I love that place too much to not say a proper goodbye.
  4. Lin is flying back to York tomorrow. Bon voyage petal ;) and keep in touch. She wouldn't be back for the next one and a half years, and she's a damn cool and interesting person to hang out with, and I have only known for for about a month yo. Thanks to her, I had my virgin K-Box experience last night. OMGZZ, so lianz I knowz. We had lovely Jap cusine at a restaurant in Vivocity (the sashimi is SO fresh, it's SO good), much thanks to Cleo Bachalor of don't know which year (2002/2003?) cum Worldview Youth Conference 2007 chairman for the generous treat (THIS IS SUCH A GOOD MEDIA ANGLE BUT HE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEGE IT, AND YET DEMANDS A MEDIA ANGLE. An angle is better than none you know!). Photos of K-Box day up soon. (I owe photos, I know.)
  5. I made a new friend at Venezia today. Actually 2. Nicole and the boss' daughter. Friendly people, who doesn't like these kinda of people right. :)
  6. So I went from ranting to ending on a postive note. RAD.
  7. I NEED SLEEP. zzzzz. Work and then WV Youth Conference Public Talk 2- How to Sustain your Social Enterprise by Mr Julian Sandt, CEO of Orchid Captial Ptd Ltd. 6.30pm - 7.30pm, Jurong East Regional Library, FREE DINNER!

Breathe!

It's bad that I usually want to start off my journal entries with a 'sigh', typed in CAPS and the !exclaimation mark. It is so difficult to find the quiet space and time to sit down and recollect the day's or even the week's events nowadays, because ironically, when we thought that JC school life couldn't get any busier; comes along the working life, which I say, has also whizzed past in 2 and a half months that I'm now happily unemployed frictionally. Ahh, some knowledge of Economics does come in handy!

1/4 into the year 2007, and the post A level list of things-to-do which I created during one of the zzzzzz inducing physical geog lectures have barely been half striked off. I need to get my arse off the bed/chair/floor and really get moving; god knows how long it has been since I actually went for a heart pumping good ol' run. I miss those days when Reks, Si and I would just change into our PE attire and run around 25 Dover Close East in the late afternoons. Where the hell did that motivation come from?! IhatemyfatsIhatemyfatsIhatemy(damnflabbypounch!)!! Nicole+Linsay+Mary-Kate, it's all your fault, now please stop giving girls the perception that beauty comes in a 00 package. Stop starving, you're not in Africa.... I wanna sign up for my pilates but looking at my schedule, it's not possible for me to attend all the lessons, and what's the point if I'm going to just throw my hard-earned cash in the drain? Remember, I'm frictionally unemployed. Oh darn, and I have an incurable shopping fretish. Sometimes I wish I didn't love fashion so much. Frivolous, but, but.... I love it anyway.

Just came back from Genting with my uncle, aunt and cousins, and part of me didn't want to come back. OMG, so much work. I haven't got down to reading the uni stuff, I have 2 large bags of it, one in the Brightsparks paper bag, and the other in an NUS bag they gave out during the Open House, which was so friggin' crowded... and I left that bag at Olie's. Sigh. Plus, the Worldview Conference, last stretch people, and lots of things to do..... as since I'm made the camp commandant for the participants camp that is to be held in April (WTH?!); thank you for your faith in me my friends, I need all the support I can get, really. I feel like it's back to the mugging days of the A levels, ARGH. Breathe Joyce breathe! 

And I haven't really looked at the gifts those kiddos gave me on the last day of work. But it was damn sweet, this girl started crying, and I started weeping too. Well, at least I wasn't having an uncontrollable tearing session. Right, so photos/thoughts/muses on my relief teaching experience and Genting trip to be up soon, so.... WATCH THIS SPACE!
