work has been tiring as usuaL. glad that i had my off day on monday,and i rested pretty well.

baked a cheese cake with lydia yesterday, but it tasted horribLe! i've no culinary talents watsoever, i decLare. but the worst bit came when my mom told me that in the recipe stating 300 degrees...they meant fahrenheit! nOt ceLcius. hah. how pathetic our cake was! failed miserably, which is an understatement. it was disgustingly revolting.and extremely potent. eating that small sample froze my tastebuds, and the smell..*ugh* it sure hit hOme! never, ever, ever have i tasted such distasteful cheesecake! or any food for that matter. *yucK* it abolutely churned my stomach, and spurned my appetite for any such delicacies..

hahhaa, overslept on the bus 65 juz nOw.i was suppose to alight at bendemeer, but overshot, and ended up at aljunied-circuit road.which was one way!in the end, followed my gut instinct, i walked along the road rather than cut thru the flats, and i managed to locate the correct bus stop! :D was quite glad, coz it was quite late.~

well...ttz my dearest fren huiqing on the phone now..ja ne!

i'm so doggone tired!retail is truly no joke--esp during GSS.

on saturday, played squash with terrence in the morning, till quite late. suppose to start work at 12, but i only reached the place at 1:45. rusHed thru the entire span of mystery shopping,(was surprised that they have a cute/cool looking sales assistant in esprit! go to the one at raffles.trust me manZ.)
then i met up with one of my dearest frenz-huiqing in the midst of it for shopping. as in proper shopping, but ended up at V8 cafe, eating cheesy potato wedges and (yucks)diluted carrot juice whilst filling up my surveys.
in the end, we didn't have time for our intended shopping at bugis street, and decided to play pool, but..heck..it was a saturday day nite.& as all saturday nites go..yeah, u know..cRowdEd.

so we went to starbucks, sipped drinks, chatted(we had so little time, and so much to say!) and that ended our outing....only to be continued with a telephone conversation deep into the night. regretfully..hahaha..i fell asleep a couple of times..hahahha~ tOo tired what...*shhshshh*

anywaez, working at esprit, great world city is pretty alrite. as in the people.excLuding rick,the supervisor. but the store is humongous, and the crowds really flow in,period. it's damn tiring, taxing, stressing. *argH*. every nite on the bus, i'll alwaez fall asleep...unless i get distrated by..stuff~ :P (aka: cute guys on the bus)
which is super rare...good thing, coz i need my rest!

today's my off day, and i'm spending it with lydia, and squasH~ :) swam with her in the morning, but it rained! jEez. spoiLer..oN my off day no less! oh well~ gonna go play somE squasH now. signing off!

results are out, specialisations are assigNed. for ur infO, i've gotten a handful of Bs and Cs. extremeLy avERage(actually, very lOusy) grades. and i've landed myself in SM--> Service mAnagemeNt-cLass tb09.mixEd emotions sPlasHing inside of me. do i really want to take Service management? or do i want marketing? truth be told, i enjoyed marketing the most this sem. in fact, the only one i studied for.(albeit, last minute)
but everyone keeps saying that marketing is super taxing and stressfuL. buT...i loved principles of marketing!
and service management. hmm.. besides having classmates taking that...i can't really drag out any reason for wanting it. guess i ranked it 1st only in a moment of folly? i have no idea what i've signed myself into! maybe..it's decreed by God? coz my classmate: xiuli has Bs and Cs toO, with SM as her 1st choice and Mkting for 2nd, same as me. but she got into mkting, and i'm in sm. *hmm*
tmr's my last day working at esprit warehouse..i'll miss helpful, easy-going, sweet sabrina;bitchy,hypocritical,act coOl lisa and accommodating shanice. *oOps* better never ever let lisa read this. and bias eric(the guy in-charge of the entire warehouse. i'll miss all the times the aunties bitch and gossip, bout all the politics and backstabbing of another supervisor of the warehouse.
miss the times they scrambLe and rush off for luncH.
miss jessica during luncHtimes for her hokkien phrases tt i don't understand a mite.
miss the irritating guys tt i don't talk to except when i need heLp.
miss the times jessica raises her brows when lisa makes some irritating comment or exclaims exxageratingly.
miss the times that sabrina and i lame bout stuff, complain bout our job, crack jokes bout the guys, 'discuss' bout the aunties, share nuggets of info,and do other brainless, nutty stuff.
miss the daily trip to either the warehouse or office pantry for our 20minute break. (whereby the aunties will juz look at us eat the biscuits, drink the soft drinks and will only resume their chatter after we've departed.yeah, we noticed how conspicuous they were)
miss susan(the tom-boyish 45yr old) who's super strong and super funny. lOved her guffaws, her booming voice, her enthusiasm, her easy-going yet feisty spirit, her fight for justice.
miss seeing the 2 cute designers that hang out at the adjoining esprit warehouse at times.
miss doing picking coz i enjoy the exhilaration i derive when i get it all rite.

i'll miss them all...though it was a short span of only 1 month. yeah..i'm a sentimentalist at heart.

and on monday, i'll be working at the stores. dreaded 12 hour shifts. stupid feet that can't even tolerate an hour's shopping.irregular meals.unpleasant(and pleasant) customers. unfriendly, stuck-up colleagues. bossy supervisors. late nights. ugly uniforms. early mornings. no OT pay. folding of clothing.

i'll need heavy chicken essence boOsters real sOOn. *sighs*
