Schedule Change

Due to all the night shifts at 7-Eleven, my biological clock is more or less screwed. Meaning to say, I mostly sleep in the day and stay awake at night... and the feeling sucks. Even my regular night jogs became morning jogs! The morning jogs at West Coast Park has somewhat been an eye-opener for me. All these while I have been jogging in the night and the only things i can visibly see are street lamps and couples making out to each other! I didn't know that the air feel fresher and the scenery looks better in the morning!

After much hype about the Thailand trip with Ray's family, I was quite saddened that I was not given the chance to go... with a peace of mind. When I asked my dad for permission, his face immediately changed to black colour. Reluctantly, he allowed me to go. But I just changed my mind since he is so hesitant. Thinking on the brighter side, at least it saves me money and time. Also, I get to work more hours at 7-eleven to get more cash.

300: Prepare for Glory!

Below: A promotional poster of "300" at one of the bus stops at Holland V.

300 is probably one of the coolest movies to watch this month. Yesterday, I watched it with my 2 bros, Sam, Ray and Grace at Plaza Singapura. The fight scenes are just so cool, with all the blood splattering, limbs flying and heads rolling. That's why its a M18 show. The show got such an influence on my 2 bros and Ray, such that they kept repeating catch phrases from the show!

After the show, we headed down to Holland Village to chill out. Unfortunately, many pubs including Wa La Wa La, was full. So we just bought bottles of alcohol (for me is 2 cans of 500ml Tiger), and we slacked and talked crap at the nearby HDB void deck. So much for a rest day!

Results for my Poly Year 1 were out yesterday. Got a 3.721 / 4.00 for Sem.2 GPA and 3.633 / 4.00 for Cumulative GPA. IDEAS and GEMS pulled me down; both only C and C+ respectively. Maths(B+) could have done better; all thanks to the Section C in the End-of-Year Maths paper; 42 marks thrown down the drain... all thanks to Matrix and Determinants. At least there is some scant consolation being able to promote to Year 2.

Ke[V] at 7-Eleven

Below: No cigs to kids!

Yesterday was my 1st day at work at 7-eleven. It might seem easy and slack at the counter, scanning barcodes, collecting cash, etc. However, its actually quite stressful. Especially when it comes to money matters. For the 1st shift I did, when I tallied all the earnings, I had a deficit of $12! That is hell of a problem! Luckily the boss is understanding. For the 1st part of the day from 12 noon to 3pm I was attached to this plump malay girl callied Aini. She taught me lots of stuffs that I am required to know. For the 2nd part of the day from 6pm to 11pm, I was attached to this chinese-looking malay girl called Ruzaidah. It was quite expected that many chinese customers mistaken her as chinese and converse with her in mandrin. All she did was smile and gave a slight shrug most of the time! Luckily I was there to help her! I also found out that she was actually a SIM student and she had been working part time at 7-eleven for the past 2 years to ease the burden on her family. Not many children these days actually think about this before.

Music Underground: Last Dance.

Below: I like the bar counter. All the neon lights made it outstanding.
Below: I say you say want some more!

Club 3 down, Club 7 down, Masters Of Sounds down, Sparks down, rush down, now MU down! Looks like there is no more place for techno clubbers. Last night, Melvin, Jason and I were at MU for their last dance. Apparently there was free flow of beer there. And we didn't know. The music was mixed, at first is those from the UK top 40 dance charts, all the way till 11pm. Then its techno till 1am, followed by RnB till 3.30am, then its techno again. Lots of happening and funny things there. There were enormous and fat ladies dancing bartop pole dance, great dancers both male and female, and of course there was a performance of flaming barcardi bottles by the barguys! Something to my dismay. I realized I have aged. It seems for every one song I dance, i have to rest for 3 songs! Even a fat ah lian ask me why I stopped! haha!

Finally, A Job..

After being rejected by a Lesbian Bar, DHL, and my good-old Tian Wah Press Pte Ltd, I finally found a part-time job at 7-Eleven. I had gone for the interview for 7-eleven, but I had to wait for days for their call and I had almost given up hope on finding a job. So I went for the interview at 11am just now. Everything seems okay to me except that the hourly pay is $3.50. Low, but no choice; I had to get a job fast if not I'll be rotting at home with no cash.

After the successful interview, the mortar platoon werer invited to Sgt Kok Wee's house to bai4 nian2. I met Li Yang and Rong Xiang at Westmall and we took a walk there. Unfortunately for LY, he got hit by a sloppy projectile and later to be the 1st to be 'mauled' by Kok Wee's dog! Even I was not spared as the dog wrestled me to the ground and relentlessly used its nose to prod my face! At that moment, I don't feel terrified; just feel like laughing my lungs out! So basically, everyone just either played Winning-11, talk crap, and played mahjong. For me, I played mahjong with SayWai, Dennis and Cher Fong. Just so happen to get lucky again; all thanks to my lucky handphone on the table!
