Friday 13th

yet another friday the 13th...a sombre one...

my youngest uncle passed away this morning... was in the news

like my eldest uncle 2yrs back... also in the news...

life's so unfair... how can tragedy struck this family twice... lost their mum decade back... now their dad...

life sux...

stay strong, my couzs...

Whiplash effect

TMD... woke with soreness all about my body... like kenna hit by car like tt...

BUT... felt better today in terms of spirit...

Spent 2 hrs at northpoint just now (very discipline... kept to the time schedule)

- the same bus came in 3mins. (see lah, when u suay, everything is suay. see previous post)
- get to eat what i want to eat (prata sausage and cone pizza)
- bought what i want to buy (3 pairs of shoes)
- black shawl (this is just retail therapy, $10 anything lah)
- only spoiler was this cashier (code3). they put this $10 insole on the $5 rack, obviously I'll assume it is $5 right?! when i realized it was $10 when she scanned, obviously I say I dun want lah. when I return with the correct $5 one, she was giving me that pek chek look saying next time must check the pricing, if not very troublesome for her. (note: troublesome, not difficult)
*** i was completely bewildered lor. how complicated can it get to void an item??? sometimes double scan also need to void right... not that she hit the enter key already. Moreover, I'm the customer leh. Plus, I was really apologetic..... furthermore the store manager was there and she saw everything.

Learn from your manager lah... she came up to me when i went back to take the correct one and assisted me with the different kinds of the insole, how to clean them and reuse etc.... She even explained probably a customer place it wrongly and apologized that they didn't noitce it in time and hence my incovenience.

it was because of the manager that I was subtle in my reply to that cashier. I told her i was mistaken and people do made mistakes and I've already apologized. If she need to explain to the management I can verify for her. My last sentence " You don't have to give me that face, you know".

At least I didn't say the cliche one, 'I'm the customer leh, I'm always RIGHT!' hahahhahaha =)

ok.. back to info crunching....

wow.. i'm getting very virtually verbal these days... hahaha

Wrote msg on facebook also... " Jacqueline is going back to 'open eyes, open ears, close mouth'

Being expressive is just not my forte.... going back to 'shuddup' mode....

Reminder* don't be kaypoh, don't be observant, don't be curious ~ just do what i'm paid for.... shuddup.. shuddup..shuddup

sidenote: like qi, we tend to increase blogging frequency when we are bogged down by important things to do... hahhahahaha!

KNS....

I can't believe I pon the very lesson when such an important announcement was made!!!

I can't believe NO one bother to tell me!!!

I can't believe they scraped the assignment!!!

due to stupid reasons like this:

- The class in general did very averagely/badly for the part A assignment that was handed in
- This is the 1st time the class is doing a highly weighted assignment, with a short period of time.
So, our lecturer negotiated with UoB professors to drop this assignment and resumed the 100% examination based

I can't believe they scraped the assignments Lao Niang has both COMPLETED!!!!!

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Seems like we will get the graded part A back next week, if I scored well - I'll so pisssed!!!! (though i'm as pissed now)
WHY WHY WHY do I have to be penalized for the laziness / incompetence / lackadaisical attitude / stupidity of the others, always!!!

I'm very busy one leh.... could use all the time to finish the other project!!!! SHITE...

The lecturer has no right to do this.... even if I had scored badly.
i'm not boasting... most people will fare badly in exams, with or without assignments....

shit

going bkk in 2wks time...

need to clear 4500 words by then

STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....

Busy

When you have work, studies and home on your hands, there comes the problem of balancing and ultimately the issues of prioritizing.

Unfortunately for me, this year I've to put home responsibilities on the back seat... hoping hard that other members can rise to the occasion.

I'm unable keep an eye but i'll try to put an ear in.... lol

Alright... let me try to wrap up my hrm assignment by today....

Urgh... i need more time.

Sidenote: silently reminded myself to be careful what I wished for birthday. Last year, I wish for a smarter boss & I sort of got it?! Not sure if it's a good wish but it definitely works! Lol

Far far away?

It's so strange... even though I'm physically located nearer to school than the previous work place, I sorta distancing away from my studies...

whahhaaa... what irony.. cannot lah.. must buck up.

A bit too early to wish but i guess i more probably concuss tmr. anyway....

what i want for this year birthday is More Time, More Money!!! hahahah!

hope things go well for both my sistas...

Simply don't understand

I just don't understand...

Kids nowadays have such good life (ok, maybe minus the school pressure but hey, we got that in our generation also!!!)

But they don't appreciate it...

Whose fault is it that parental slavery exists?!

I simply don't get it....

New Year 2009

Once again, spending bulk of the first day of 2009 on mahjong

The last minute arrangement overthrown all my planning for this long hols.

Shit... can't seem to gear up for the assignment...

Plan: not to get new clothes for new year
Actual: got 2 tops, 1 pants & a pair of heels in 1day

Plan: not to eat too much
Actual: over gorge myself

Plan: to have a peaceful & normal countdown
Actual: went out for overnight mahjong

Plan: to finish my assingment
Actual: hardly any progress from the last time i started

DIE!!!!

New

Alright, new skin & new url for the new year =)

Always like this city, skyscrapers kinda landscape, ironically cos' i'm not a city person myself.

Did not notify anyone of this new site. I'm such an oddball, more comfortable with strangers & passer-bys looking at this than people I know.

It's xmas today, a peaceful & quiet one this year, exactly what I've wanted.

The schedule for the remaining 2008
- this week: finish 1500 HRM assignment one
- next week: finish 1500 HRMassignment two

How nice -_-"'

Back to chomping notes...

Happy New Year, World!

Insanity

O dear... i think i'm going crazy.

I've 5 books to read, (probably going to drop 2 of them), 3 assignments to write (2 to submit in January 2009), need to sort out the mess at work, settle my personal stuff, keep an eye (& put my hand in also) family duties while sneezing and coughing away my lungs in the midst of festival season and birthdays celebrations.

What a way to 2008 closure.... i expect it to be better -_-"'

O man, either I learn how to do things faster or give me 36hrs a day. shit, that leaves me with no choice...

i sworn to myself that if i can't finish what I've to do by 8th Jan 2009, I'm not going to celebrate my birthday...

Come on, MOTIVATE!!!

Sidenote: It's HRM module this sem...it's ridiculous that our assignments have to be handed in the week we finished our lectures. how to write when you are not taught anything on it yet???!!!
O yes, degree level i know. Year 3 is like a triple jump from the 1st 2 years....
anyway if you have materials/readings that you think can help me, HELP ME!
Thank you!!!
