THE SUPERMODEL FEEL

Graduation robe settled.
Invitation cards settled.
Heels settled.
Photoshoot settled.

What's left is my SALARY which is taking forever to be processed, more footwear cause my shoes always get soaked when it rains, more clothes including one for the graduation ceremony and a wallet cause mine is gonna burst out soon.

Anyways, photoshoot tday was quite fun. The only thing that was a little of a surprise was that I was required to write an essay abt myself which might get publicized (I don't know when and where) for I wasn't prepared for it. Mind blocked and I had to think hard before the words could flow through. Hope I did a great job and hope the photos come out nicee! Shall see when I obtain the soft copy :D

MY BELOVED BROWN PACKAGE

Yes! I have finally received the brown freshmen package from NUS.
Conditionally, I have been offered a place in Life Sciences.
But I will need to post my full results before I am guaranteed a place.
I think it will not be a problem at all cause my final gpa is way better than my 5 sem results.
One more plus point is that my financial aid for NUS has been approved!
So my dad will have lesser burden in trying to pay for my school fees.

On the other hand, my family has officially gone into a financial crisis.
What I mean by this is that we do not even have the means to have proper meals.
No allowances at all.
Plus I haven gotten my pay yet.
Plus my dad and sis also haven gotten their pay yet.
So from tmr onwards, I am gonna have to have bread for meals until my pay comes in.
Which I dont even know when.
Great huh.
Say hello to healthy bread meals till then.

Practically, not only me who almost had a collision. One of my friend too. Realized it after i read her post. Seriously, such thing can really scare people out of their lives.

As usual, i would always miss the first bus cause i come out of the house too late. Then i will have to wait like 10-15mins for the next bus. So the next bus came and it was super crowded due to the morning crowd of working ppl and students. Basically, I was kinda stuck at the back doorway. Everything was usual until suddenly, I dont know wth came cutting into the path of the bus cause i couldnt see in front of me due to the fully packed bus, the bus caption suddenly honked so loud and brake the bus soooo hard and sudden such that all those standing, including me was thrown forward toward front side of the bus. The impact was so hard resulting in chaos: people losing hold of balance, people stepping on another person's shoes/heels, people falling and stuffs. Me plus my high heels plus my heavy bag with all the workstuffs and such just lose my balance and was being pushed forward so hard that i lost my balance. However, it was fortunate that a lady standing next to me quickly held on tightly to me to prevent me from falling.

Seriously, can road commuters give way to a public bus. Hundreds of lives are at stake here. Even if you are in a rush, you dont need to cut into the path so suddenly right? Just leave the damn house earlier luh! This was one of the reason why my dad quitted as a bus driver. Within 1 month of work, he had a collision 2 times cause ppl didnt want to give way.

HAIZ. NOWADAYS HUH...

Had been working for almost half a month for ministry of trade and industry. overall experienceat work was fair enough; for the workload had been super minimal till the extent i fell asleep while working. Until yesterday, the workload started to increase as more and more respondents call in after receiving the notification letter.

However, one bad point about customer srevice is always bout the complaints. And yes, i was so unlucky to receive one the other day. She was practically howling over the phone, reprimanding my department for sending her the notification letter. Saying if it was lottery she wouldnt mine. Instead out of all the people in Singapore, she received it. Serioulsy typical Singaporean. Eh hello? Even if you dont wanna do, you dont have to scream over the phone right? I am working for the govt and of course i have got to do my job. Just bear with what i am gonna ask and just give me the damn responses and thats it. Dont need to waste each other's time by you screaming at me over the phone and me have to have the utmost patience to try and explain the entire situation and calm you down. Even so, you still didnt give in. Fuck.

After this damn call ended, my colleagues were like saying "woah! you were sooo patient over the phone!" To tell you the truth, i was super patient that day. Ask my previous colleagues where i worked at, they will tell you i dont have such good patience. Even my supervisor said my the ime i leave this job after my contract ends, i will be a pro in handling customers. Working in Macs previousy did help i guess for i had experienced such bad behaviour before, just not as bad as that damn woman.

Enough about work. Finally after about 1 week after my uncle was in to NUH for stroke/brain haemorrhage, i had the chance to visit him on sa after work. Knew my parents were going to visit him and so i asked them to wait for me. Rush after work for NUH is super far. But within 5 mins of reaching the ward, we were "chased home". He was still weak for he had to be tube-fed. Moreover, he still couldnt speak and move freely. Probably he knew we stayed far, thats why he didnt want us to waste our time to visit him. My aunt looked more cheerful for he had been in ICu for a couple of days and finally, he could be moved into the normal ward.

Life is so fragile; I still remember during the first day of CNY, he brought our family for dinner at Jurong Safra. That point of time as compared to that day i saw him, his appearance took a drastic turn. Seriously, looking at the state of him that day, my tear wanted to flow out. Had to control it from flowing.

Dear uncle, please get well soon. Take your time to recuperate. There will still be physiotherapy after your health improves. Dont rush to want to move your limbs. You will get there. Think of your family and your graddaughter who is only a few months old. Jiayou :D

There was this scene:

My heart was torn into pieces. I suddenly regretted not spending more time with him. My father. I had no reason why and how it happened. The news just came, throwing the entire family into chaos. My father, the sole breadwinner was gone. Just like that. He was here yesterday and suddenly, we lost him. I cried heavily. So heavily that I forgot how much pain I was in. I just couldn’t believe it. Why was it him? Why?
And then, I saw the ceiling. Unsure of whether what happened was of reality, I thought hard. Reality came back. It was just a dream. Although it was not the real thing, it stroked me hard. I shouldn’t be taking everything for granted. This person may be here today, but anything can happen the next moment. And when it really does, there’s no point regretting. I think if I dreamt this in aussie, I would probably feel homesick.

Anyways, hospital laboratory tours had ended today. TTSH was totally TLA. Like a factory. But I think I would prefer working in KK. It was a pity I didn’t had the chance to go to the histopathology side today ):

And yesssssss! I officially start work on the 8th of march. Until I enter uni (hopefully). Hope it will be a memorable experience.

So jiayou jiayou jiayou :D
