I swear I'm heavier.

Pigging out at Breko











And that's not all. Actually we also ordered one bowl of soup, one apricot float and banana stacko which I ate before taking any photos as evidence of my gluttony.
Ate at Pizza Hut yesterday and today it is Brewerkz. Throw in a glass of beer, fish and chips, mutton, apple galette and chicken wings. Hmmm.. Eating like there's no tomorrow. I dare say I've spent close to a hundred bucks on food, just my own share alone.
Why?
Coz it's gonna be porridge from tomorrow onwards until maybe 1 plus week later? And kinda think braces will spoil my enjoyment for food. Or maybe it might actually make me want to eat more. Haha. I guess I'm overdoing it :p
Good thing is Thursday is gonna be the start of my dance lessons, though there's a slight problem. My leg hurts a little. Hopefully I'll be fine by then.

No more school for all.

The first week at work was.... tiring. I had so many things to learn and make sense of on my own and the only pleasure that I'm at least allowed during work is eating. Bought a whole lot of snacks to store in my drawer to make myself happy during work. I literally feel faint at work and I have no idea why. Lack of sugar?Lack of blood rushing to my brains? I don't know, but I almost fainted on Friday. My colleagues probably thought I was lazing at my desk when I was feeling sick.
My colleagues are pretty interesting too, from all walks of life and totally different from my friends. I'm kinda forced to make new friends. Well, at least my colleagues are friendly and they openly talk about themselves also. There's this girl who's younger than me, really pretty, full of attitude, I kinda admire her guts. She used to work at Kbox and told us some interesting stuff that goes on in Kbox. The jugs that contain beer or water that they serve at KBox are really disgusting because drunk patrons actually puke into the jugs in a fit of nausea. Plus, the people at Kbox aren't too keen on cleaning either, sometimes cups are really dirty that even my colleague also doesn't dare to use them. Well, call me anti-social, but I only really consider one colleague as a friend and she's Vegan Haha. So yup, been eating alot of veggies.
It's also the start of the June holidays, so actually screened The March of the Penguins for my sec 1s yesterday. It was abit slow, but at least they finished watching it. So much for trying to show something related to Science that's interesting. It was the most interesting thing!! If not what, show them the magic schoolbus?? Haha actually I LOVE the magic schoolbus. Maybe I'll do that the next time.
Got a last minute invitation to go crabbing with the secellites.. Considering how much I really don't want to go in this rainy weather I will. I've comitted to be a part of them, so yup. I'll go. Just wish that they wouldn't plan things so last minute, I was looking forward to lazing around the house and resting, doing my Masterlife series today.. Argh... BUsy, busy, busy, busy.... Don't even have time to read the book I borrowed from the library about Jim Elliot.... .... Help....

I'm back from crabbing. It was fun, sinking into the swamp and all, the stuff we caught. Crabs, Prawns, Clams, earthworms big and small. However, I think it would have been more fun if I were younger. It's not really my thing to go clam digging. But, it was fun :) Got to know the secell peeps more. Er.. However, I got a small, but deep cut. Not that it really hurts, but black stuff is stuck on the flesh of my foot. Tried scraping, flushing it out with water at home, but nothing works... How? It hurts after all I did to my foot. Really hope it doesn't get infected.... ....

Gaahhh! Accounts.

I'm beat from yesterday and today. It was fun hanging out with the guys (Jerry and Leon), never played arcade for sooo long before! 3 hrs! Yup, I'm sick of the arcade now :p Then we went cycling at East Coast. Apparently there's a newly built lift for wakeboarding and water skiing, sadly we didn't see anyone attempt to go up the ramp... And we were entertained by the people taking a dunk in the water... *evil* You guys are sick lah.. Traumatized big time. h-a h-a.

Work is crazy. I thought I was going for something brainless, but turned out that they want someone who can do accounts not just data entry alone. Argggghh. Which means I gotta learn how to do accounts from the scratch because I know nuts about accounting. Learnt quite alot of stuff today. Really hope my supervisor doesn't get pissed off at me for asking her so many questions.... ..... I feel really helpless. Annndd.. No FREE bread. :( I work at breadtalk and no free bread!!!!! What a tragedy..... I have to buy biscuits to feed myself during tea break.

The truth about dawn.

I seem tolerant, patient, calm, unaffected. But I'm not like that all the time, everywhere, with anyone. Realised that I need to be more encouraging and gracious towards other people. When someone does something wrong, what do I do? I suppose I nag, find faults instead of encouraging the person to do the right thing. Why is it so difficult to encourage someone to do the right thing??? I suppose it's because I am already annoyed with them and by determining what's right and wrong I guess I've already made some judgement upon them. I mean, yes, somethings are obviously wrong, but why did they do it?? What can I do to help them?? Obviously, the most helpful thing is to make them realise what they are doing is not beneficial to them. How, how, how??? I shouldn't be so swift in judging people.
I'm not very gracious because I nag too much, tend to harbour grudges sometimes too. I guess it's because I am just human and I need time, experiences and God's word to renew, refresh my parched attitudes.

Enjoying while there's still time

Was running about half of yesterday, went for a job interview, took Xrays for my teeth and met the guys for bible study.

God sure works in unimaginable ways, I got a job on the way to the interview, instead of after the interview. Jx helped me ask around, in fact I think she's far better than any job agency. She helped me get a job the last time also. I should be paying her comission man, it's the 2nd time she's helped me get a job already!! Haha. Anyway, it's gonna be data entry at breadtalk pte ltd for a month. Alas, no free bread. I also got an offer from the interview also, after accepting the job at breadtalk, some marketing job... Which isn't what I'm really looking for, but I guess it could have been fun. No regrets about data entry though. Pay's good, job is rather brainless and stress free. It's far easier money than being a food promoter at food fest in expo. 12 hrs on your feet is NO joke! Will be starting work on Monday. Finally! I can't stand bumming around anymore.

Taking Xrays for my teeth hurts less than getting the mould done. Blame it on the horrible sore on the side of my mouth, I swear it enlarges my mouth by causing it to split. Ouch.

Bible study for cell leaders turned out to be for replacement cell leaders. All the cell leaders couldn't make it, so we the 2nd-in-charge took over. It was a good time of discussion, learning about God's word and some fellowship. Wish someone more knowledgeable was there too, it would have been more reliable. Coz the questions were quite difficult to understand.

Will spend my last few days enjoying bumming, starting with a food spree this evening with Germ, before I put on the dang braces and it'll hurt to chew. Cycling with Jerry and his tutee at East Coast on Sunday, oughta take my mind off things. Before anyone rolls their mind into the gutter, there's NOTHING between him and me, never will be. We're just friends. (If you are reading this CHeryl!! I don't need to explain things further. I know you think it's weird.)

Love is..

Everything below is not written by me. (Big Discliamer!!) I just happened to read some stuff that intrigued me and here it is.
1st Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love is not as general as everyone assumes it to be. It's not the air we breathe, that's oxygen. Love is more like that shade of blue the sky gets on warm summer days, when you look up and the trees are outlined in its brilliance. It's there - but not everyone takes as much note of it as they should, and most everyone just doesn't understand how it can be so breathtaking. Love isn't what makes the world go round, that has a bit to do with gravity. Love is more like the warm puffs of breeze that rustle by in the fall, past faces and faces, only being noticed by a select few who keep their hearts open. Love isn't a warm tingly feeling in your stomach, that's adrenalin. Love is more like the sharp sensation when you inhale on bitterly cold winter mornings, that feels like ice ripping into your nasal passages. It's sharper and more unwieldy than most would like to admit. And love isn't the sound of the ocean in a seashell, that's the circulation of blood in your ears. Love is more like the tickle of a Spring flower against your nose when you're smelling it. It's subtle and often shadowed by the lustful scent of romance.
Love is… different.

I wish I could write like that. I love the author's analogy of love. Haha.

Went to the dentist just now to get a mould of my teeth. It hurt. Though it wasn't supposed to because I have this sore at the edge of my mouth and forcing my mouth open to get the mould in hurts. I realised that my mouth is really small. The dentist had to pry my mouth open. *ouch* Almost choked on the plaster she forced into my mouth too, what a way to die. "Girl chokes to death on plaster in dentist chair." The brackets (those shiny silver metal things) will be put on about 2 weeks later. Better enjoy eating while I can, before it really hurts to eat anything but porridge. I'll probably lose weight after putting on the braces too. Wonder if I can even talk properly.

Cashless Cow

What's the biggest problem during the hols? Hmmm.. I would say the lack of money to do the things that I wanna do. If I wanna take up classes, where's the money gonna come from? I doubt my parents will fork out money for me to take dance classes. So I've gotta pay for it and who's gonna pay for the meals I'm gonna eat outside and the excessive shopping?? Me. Yup, so a holiday job is a necessary evil. Highlighted my hair brown today, thank god Mum paid for it. Initially, I wanted to bleach streaks of my hair and then dye it purple. But kinda chickened out, coz I wanted to look unique not weird. Yup. No purple streaks. :(
I need a job to shop, eat and enjoy the hols. Can't rot at home all the time.
Went to the job agency today, seems promisng and I got this dubious job interview tomorrow that's waaaay too formal for my tastes. Hopefully, I can get an internship with IBN.

I'm FREE!!!

Alright, I've gained freedom to do almost whatever I please for the next 3 mths provided that there's enough cash to do them. Which means I have to get a job. Alright any kind soul out there who has a job to recommend and think it's suitable for lil' ole me drop me a msg or something alright? I can't stand having NOTHING to do. For now, I'll enjoy myself playing SIMS till my eyes fall out and finally go visit the dentist and trim my overgrown, out-of-shape hair that hasn't been trimmed since errrm CNY? Hee. ALright, I am trying to grow my hair long ok.
I don't want to think about the results at all. PLS DO NOT MENTION the word results in front of me.
As of now, I am hungry at 1.46 am in morning. I ate enough for dinner and I'm STILL hungry.. Argh. FREEDOM!!!!
