I have 6 weeks to prepare everything and see everyone before I leave for the UK. NOTHING (and I do mean nothing) has been packed, my visa isn't done (though I plan to do it soon, does that count?), and I've been really lazy about making plans to meet people.
Its strange how I've been making plans to tour Europe, but none at all for my 'new life' in London. I haven't read anything on my preliminary reading list (which is only one book) and I think I might have forgotten how to write.
Nevertheless I'm super excited! Reading week is 3rd Nov I think, so perhaps I'll be able to travel then! :D

So I ended my second job with alot less drama than I did my first. No drunken debauchery; No funny business; and NO GLASSES BROKEN. I am really very proud of myself.
I am a little sorry to be leaving so soon. Perhaps especially in the manner of leaving: the whole idea of trying to sneak away unnoticed; to leave without properly saying goodbye. But this is the only way I know how.
There were good times, you know. Times which made me hold back when I wanted to leave early on. Contrary to popular belief I do enjoy waitressing somewhat, just perhaps not... other aspects of the job.
Please p[ardon the incoherent-ness of this whole entry. I clocked in 9 straight hours (6-3) and I'm shagged. Goodnight!

I am so amused + pissed at Indochine that I cannot decide whether I am more amused or more pissed. My shift was supposed to be 6-11 which only earns me a pathetic 5.50x5. So I was hostessing which by the way is a very stupid job which I hate because its boring and I have to make small talk to customers to entertain them (and myself). But being a Sunday night, the restaurant was pretty quiet. At 8pm, after I had done most of my work (hostessing is only busy until around 8:30 because people generally don't do dinner that late), the captain told me I could go home cos they were overstaffed. So essentially, I travelled all the way from bloody CHANGI to CLARKE QUAY to work 2 fucking hours and earn 11 measly bucks. Thank goodness my folks were out so they could give me a ride home, or I'd be even more pissed that I'd have to travel all the way back by mrt/ bus.
Btw hello bryna! (since you say you read my blog) :D

When I'm in the mood to post public entries (which anyone can read), I hardly have anything of substance to say. I can only talk about my (terribly dull) life, which no one wants to read about. So frankly, I don't know why I blog.. but anyway...
Work was terribly dull today. There were hardly any customers so I basically stood around and smiled at people. Halfway through I got pulled to work at the bar which wasn't much better since it was basically a really slow night all round. There was this regular customer who apparently "comes with a new girlfriend every week, but sometimes the same one" (quoted from a knowledgeable staff member). So I was wondering, what if one of the girls decided- Hey the bar that Mr XYZ brought me to last sunday was real cool- and decides to visit with one of her friends... on a day that the horny old dude is there with another one of his girls?!
Well unless they're all callgirls, or sluts, or know-but-pretend-not-to-for-the-sake-of-the-$$-and-pampering?

I am slowly but surely becoming the ultimate domestic goddess. :) Ok Martha Stewart is still the ultimate domestic goddes but maybe hopefully by the time I'm 50 I'll be somewhere there. :P
I can now, cook (without giving people food poisoning. tried and tested!), clean, bake, decorate cakes, organise the house, stock the fridge, make table decorations, arrange flowers etcetcetc. OPn top of that, I can hold a tray with many many glasses (wine and martini glasses included) of drinks with one hand which might come in quite useful at dinner parties. I have also learnt to smile and look pretty when some drunk as ass guy comes up to me and insinuates that I might like to accompany him to Gotham Penthouse (without showing my disgust hahaha) but pretend that I haven't a clue what he's talking about. :)

(THIS) is very disturbing. It's abit porno so underagers don't click. But then again, I don't care.
Caught Sex and the City (the film) today with siqi!! I like!!! Reviews haven't been that great, but the movie is really really sweet, silly and funny at the same time. Go watch you won't regret it! :)

I feel so stupid because i went to do a manicure, completely forgetting the fact that I have to work ON MONDAY! :(
Anyway yesterday's dinner etc. turned out to be quite a bummer because it was Fri night and town was packed like crazy! Like everywhere was damn full and we didn't want to pay 20-30 bucks for kbox so, in the end, we went home at around 9+.
I'm craving for breakfast at Jones @ Dempsey. I like to go there and eat and look at all the food! Mmm.
My entries don't make sense.

Once, I scoffed when people said school days would be the best days of your life. I'm not so sure now.
I have finally finally decided for sure to go to UCL. I guess I'll just have my fun first, then put in 10x the effort when I come back. Whoops. So yes, tickets will have to be booked (hopefully today) and accommodation before the hall is opened settled. I'm really afraid this is a stupid decision. But a decision has to be made and this is it I guess?
On another note, I must be growing old. I just got home from MOS and I'm super shagged. And we didn't even stay till closing! Heh I think once a week is all I can handle right now.

Rough weekend. Hope this week will be better.
I've still got so many things on my to-do list. Pack my room, book plane tickets to London, settle my job, meetup with various people, start on my packing list for London, continue Spanish, gym regularly, start driving (maybe)... etc etc.
Watching Rproject on sat night with Gen made me feel so OLD. Like seriously.. I almost can't believe I'm out of school (uni's not counted). Then supper at Newton.. Unhealthy foood galore! orh luak, sambal stingray, cockles.. yum! And of course the company. :) Almost felt like the old times, when we would go for supper after productions. Mann I'm going to miss all these in London.

From my cramped hotel room in NY I can reach out from one end of my bed to look out of the window onto the busy New York Streets. Right beside my bed is the desk which doubles up as a dressing table (for makeup and whatnots), and at the end of my bed, barely 2 feet away, is the cupboard. Yes, you got that right. From the comfort of my bed, I can access practically the whole hotel room, except maybe the toilet. It is THAT tiny. In any other city except New York, I'd be so pissed off with the disgusting state of the room, but since it is NY, my substandard quarters are forgivable, almost.
Watched Wicked this evening. It was seriously the BEST musical I've ever seen. Granted, I haven't watched that many (maybe 6 or 7), but its really really good. MUST WATCH. I really think its better than the novel! Its funny (ok admittedly the humour seems a little forced at some points), entertaining, and at the end, super touching. I think its the only musical I've watched (except perhaps Sound of Music but I only remember the Film version) where the songs don't seemed forced into the plot for the sake of being there, but really worked to create the whole 'Oz' atmosphere. The design was also spectacular. Set, costume, everything! AMAZING seriously.
Also went to the Apple Store on 5th Ave and Abercrombie and Fitch. Both are worth going, if only to take a look. I am honestly addicted to A&F and bought far more than I really need. I can see myself turning up at that store every day (so everone's presents will prob be bought from there HAHA.

Ever since I've gotten my MACbook I've become super duper dependant on it. It practically organises my life for me! Perfecttt.. or not. You decide.
I'm off to NYC tomorrow! Fab, I can't wait! Although the idea of being in a plane for close to 24 hours is really really disgusting. :( But its NewYork!! So its still purrrrfectly worth the ride.

These days I find I have nothing to say to my folks. It's not a matter of quarrelling or not getting along generally; I simply have nothing to say to them, and they to me. Family lunches/ dinners lapse into awkward silences; they speak only to complain/ chide/ compare.
Everything seems to be MY FAULT. If my mum forgets that I told her (5 or 10 times mind you) I've made plans for dinner/ lunch/ whatever, its MY FAULT for not reminding her AGAIN. If the TV is not turned off, it is MY FAULT even if I haven't touched the TV for days. If my dad wants to eat at some damn expensive place that doesn't serve any kind of food I eat, and I tell them to go ahead while I just walk around the shops and settle my own lunch (in Aus), I am being UNCOOPERATIVE and DIFFICULT. If I take cab to and from my Grandma's place just to eat for 1/2 hr, I'm being STUPID and damn WASTE MONEY, but if I don't go, I am being ANTISOCIAL. I said I want to come back over xmas, they go- "you think we're made of money is it, whole day let you fly here fly there". I want to stay in London over xmas (and work), they say- "then you don't care about us already is it?" I can't ever win, can I?

I'm blogging at work when I really shouldn't because I have work. I also have to go fro a job interview but I think I will go tomorrow instead.
Anyway, it feels strange to be leaving at the end of the week. Much as I'm rather excited to bartend/ travel/ do whatever shit I like, it's been a long time and I'm really going to miss this place.
I know its still early, but to boss, hianyoung, sanjiv, lipchih, eunice, jonathantan, faz, bikwei, bryna, ramesh, joseph, zhuoneng, weiheng, zabrina, hui-min, siqi, nat, jonfoo, jason, vania, pravin and everyone else at A&G... thanks for the awesome experience! :)
(ehh.. not as if they will read this but ANYWAY.)
I hope you'll all still be around if and when I come back to work someday :)

The weekend was fabulous purely because my folks were out of town. I think I should encourage them to go overseas without me more often! I could decide when to bathe and eat... make plans and go out when I wish, without having to plan my entire schedule one day in advance. Yayyy for FREEDOM. I can't wait for london! 4 months to 3 YEARS of FREEDOM! WOOHOOOO!!

There is something immensely comforting about baking. I love the whole process- from combining the ingredients, mixing them by hand, to spooning the batter into cups/ tins, to putting them in the oven and smelling the wonderful aromas wafting from the kitchen. Amazing. And you get such a high from the satisfaction you would feel upon looking at the finished product. YUM!
