I Doubt I'll Ever Understand My Mind. I'm Totally like 2 Different Persons, And all i need is jus 1 Catalyst for me to change. Yawns, Cant believe how easily I'm adapting to Starbucks, Everyone is jus so "ON" la. Keke. Thought I'm still a Trainee, and Technically not supposed to know much, I kinda already noe most of the Job already, I was Right, Starbucks really was as good as i thought it'll be =D. Now lets jus hope this continues!

This past week I've jus been to Tons and Tons of Starbucks trainings, Mon-Fri, Everyday !! Its been really busy, and I'm currently Low on Sleep .. Haha .. Knew alot of other people from Starbucks, People from different stalls, My god, Everyone is jus SOO CRAPPY .. Haha .. And i thought i was Bad =X ..

She's still in the stall at 11pm lor !! .. Is the stall THAT Fun a place to hang out?? Keke .. Not sure, maybe I'll ask =X ..

Hmm Anyway, I'm still not smiling enough, BLEAH, I'm supposed to smile to everyone in Starbucks, Its kinda hard leh .. And we're not allowed to bring personal feelings into the stall, Which is another problem. Haha .. But at least I'm able to drop most of my wandering thoughts when i'm in the stall, cause its really too busy for me not to concentrate. GOD! I seriously dread the day my drum and sku starts. I'm soo gonna die .. =X .. But in the mean time CHOING AR!! I wan my PAY RISE! HAHAA~

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Your Guardian Angel

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Wahahaha, but the end of something marks the start of another, Starbucks is waiting for me! =X.

This week has been quite cool la, talked to a few of my old classmates and it is really interesting to find out how each of them are doing, most are rushing projects and studying for exams during this period Haha .. Makes me feel so blessed, feel sorry for them Haha.. But wadeva I had my fair share of "Suffering" too =X.

And apparently most of them are currently attached, *Green Eye Monster Emerges and Eats all of them Up* Hahaha .. Okok .. Stop crapping =X, but seriously my friends are like getting attached one after another LOR!!. BLEAH! Nvm Nvm .. I'll go chair that stupid bachelor's club. HMMPH! Kekeke..

Watched the movie Secret on Wed, ALONE! (See why they deserve to be eaten up? haha), Anyway the movie was kinda nice la =D. JayChou was as cool as usual, well he's acting as himself so what do you expect!! hahaha.. The movie was really cool too, there was A LOT of piano, and half way through the movie was a great twist. Nice! And the movie ended "Happily Ever After" hahaha. If life was a movie, how I wish this would be the movie =D. Hahaha. TOO BAD~

Anyway after the movie I went down to visit my grandmother =D, Its been ages since I last went down, I guess due to various things la.. Attachment and commitments, no time! Haha.. Nice Excuse rite? Hahaa =X But I went down on Wed la, actually supposed to meet Simon, Daryl and gang de but Grandmother More IMPORTANT! haha .. Sorry~ Lol =X. My grandmother still looks as Pretty as always, DON’T BELIEVE CAN ASK THE PEOPLE WHO SAW HER BEFORE!!!! haha .. my Grandmother looks super young de OKIE? =X.. But seriously I'm growing up le, hopefully I would become a somebody before my grandparents leave earth to join my Mother .. I want to at least be able to give to them a small portion of what they have given me, and not regret not being able to do something to make them proud. =D.

And ya!! Happy Birthday S'Pore!! hahaha~ Ytd went down to NDP to help out la, some Eco Earth thingy, as the name stats its about the environment but seriously I wont go into the details. Cause its super boring =_=||, the fun part only started when we started watching fireworks, Not bad SIA! hahaha =X But after awhile there started to be too much smoke in the sky, and it started to block our view of the fireworks =_=|| Darn!!

Disclaimer: Its Gonna be long !! Real Long =X .. Apparently cause I'm REALly bored, and typing this in office, therefore wad comes up I'll jus blog =X.. Lol~



Yawn .. Apparently lack of sleep is really bad, well at least for me la =X .. Today is like the 3rd week straight of not being able to have a nice 8 hour sleep. Well its kinda because I'm askin for it also la .. Keep going out, sleeping late, watching anime =X.. And my body's fighting back !! I'm getting sick now I'm like Urgh.. Horrible la =X .. a whole long list of funny funny things are happening to my body =_=||.. Best thing? its coming all together =X.. Bleah .. It really doesn’t rain, it Pours.

Anyway the past weekend was kinda fun, on Sat had Tennis and Gym again. This time Alex came down and joined us, and tat joker .. I seriously feel he's made to excel in sports lor .. No matter wad sport he's just NATURAL. Bleah … And to think I'm taking lessons too! haha .. But wadeva~ we all have areas where we're good and bad. I'll jus have to play more =X..

After Tennis went down FOP with Alex and Michelle, hmm kinda fun la .. Though it was kinda irritating when I cant see the lyrics, 1stly because I didn’t wear my specs and 2ndly because Delirious? has this weird slide show to show the lyrics. My eyes have a lag time of 2 seconds without glasses and with that slide show I can practically say I missed every word =X Oh ya .. Forgot to mention, I got a seat which has a speaker blocking my line of sight to the middle screen.. So add that to the fact most of their songs I dun really noe the lyrics de, in the end I jus stood there thinking how cool is the drummer =X.. Lol~ But Don Moen was cool! haha .. Violin Pro!!

Sunday passed just liketat too, went to church, slacked, went for meeting, slacked, den FOP and Slacked again. Bleah~ But at least on Sunday I was PREPARED, brought my specs, reached early and got a good seat, and I was ready for worship!! haha .. The preacher was fantastic, really cool =D. really funny to hear how he brings Christ into the 21st century =X haha .. But it wasn’t all jokes too, it really had a lot of meaning to me, especially now.

Anyway, my PSP is mine no more, decided that since its really no point for me to keep holding on to it and not use it, So I guess I'll jus pass it to someone who needs it. And ya I have passed it on. One of the crazy decisions I made in my life again =X Buying it without thinking through, I have also decided to only get my drums after I start attending the course, I don’t want to get the drums then decide that drums are not for me. its gonna be a much much bigger investment, and since its not gonna be my money, I better think properly. $1600 aint no small amount, well not for me la =_=|| ..

Oh .. Talking about drums, yesterday I went to the arcade to have my 1st "feel" of wad it is like to play. haha .. So cool, it wasn’t as easy as I thought la, because 99% of the songs there I have never heard before in my life therefore how to know the beat? But still, excuses aside, I still failed horribly la =X .. Wahhaha Luckily it was very quiet in the arcade, arbo I'm gonna appear in a video titled "Joker Playing Drums" on uTube. Details, forget it la =X.. Lets jus say when I saw more than 3 colours on the screen I would panic and lose my head completely. U get the idea .. Haha

Anyway the "President" of the Bachelor's club has officially resigned. Stupid guy, now so happy la .. But wadeva, Not Envious Not Envious Not Envious.. Grrr … =X .. Hahahhaa .. HEY Dumb Fool ! Better treasure it hor .. Later u come back to the club we're not gonna re-elect u as president lor .. DREAM ON =X .. Anyway I think I gonna stay in the club ABIT longer =X .. kekeke ~ Well, maybe longer .. Haha =X ..

I kinda spent 1 hour plus typing this post, Kinda fun la .. Its seriously like me talking to myself, Interesting, =X .. Hmm .. But anyway I think I better stop le ba .. Sleep abit in office, headache still quite bad? haha .. And I got close to 800 words in the post. Pro rite? haha .. like writing compo .. =X .. But seriously, cant help it but start smiling for "Mr President".. Its been so long huh? Finally got wad u wanted =X .. JIAYOU! need any help can ask me de .. =X .. Anyway Anyone who wants to know so the self proclaimed "President" is Dun bother askin me .. keke .. I promised to Keep Quiet ..

Chao~

It's kinda weird how feelings work, I can wake up feeling like I would rather die then face the day and suddenly on the way to work have my mood brighten up totally for apparently no reason. Queer, thought this may sound good, the opposite happens a lot too =D. So it’s a give and take case Haha.



Haven blogged for one week, been really busy I guess, or really lazy =X. Have to see how you look at it la! kekeke~ Kinda still doing the normal stuff, gym, slacking, being bored in office as well as more slacking! Hmm .. I seriously feel time seriously flies =D All of a sudden I'm left with only 4 days at work. Really look forward to it ending. But I wont start having a LONG LONG holiday, on the contrary I would start my Starbucks training right after attachment, then go on to my school CPTC training in September.



Hmm.. The drum lessons have not been confirmed yet, still waiting for my friend to tell me whether he wants to go. Which seriously slows things down a little, but I guess I better not jump into every single thing now, or else I wont even know what hit me in the end. Though I would start the lessons once I get my schedule going =D. And next on my wish list, my very own DRUM SET. Hahaha .. Quite cool sia .. Once I got that I would be able to start my own Band! I've got a piano, keyboard, guitar at home already. So maybe what's missing is the drums and maybe an electric guitar or a bass =X.. Maybe I'll learn? Wahaha ..



Okie enough of my nonsense le =X. But I seriously doubt there will be place to put my drums, bleah! Still have to make room for a new desktop for my mother.. She's so gonna be pissed Wahaha =X .. Nvm~ I jus gotta pray to god that she'll be more understanding and maybe she'll put the desktop into my already SUPER CRAMP room!! woo… Nice haha .. Then I'll have a UBER com which allows me to download as much movies, anime and songs as I can possibly fit into the com's memory!! hahaha .. Okok .. I'm like so entertained la =X .. OopS~



Anyway, finally completed the "Training" for my colleagues in the company, Didn’t do too badly la, apparently after the 1st time the nervousness I had have jus disappeared. Today I jus did what I could do and yup it feels so much better lor =D. More interaction with my colleagues in the training, so from a "teacher" position I became a "helper" which really made me significantly more relaxed. Guess wad, I even had time to crack a few jokes here and there .. Muwahhaa~ =X.. Super informal Training, but at the end of the day as long as they understand it'll be okie! haha ..



Looking back at the week, I realised, it really feels good to help others hor? Gives people a sense of being of use. Even though it may be tiring at times, jus looking at the end results and seeing others smile would just instantly brighten up my day. =D. So nice.. No matter how down you are, there would still be people who would need your help. keke . Makes us feel important huh? =X .. Nice! keke ..



Anyway THIS IS A SUPER DUPER LONG POST!! .. Well I kinda typed it in office when I have absolutely NOTHING to do. So .. ya .. =X Anyway Hope it wont be too long before I have something interesting to update again. Wahahaha ..

If someone really so Bo Liao to read all the way till here, you must be

1. Very Bored

2. Very Very Bored

3. Feel that My post is Entertaining, Which also means u must have a real sad life cause I think watching grass in the wind is more interesting den my super duper long Crap Post Lol~ ..



Haha~ .. I go read harry potter le !! Reading the 2nd time cause I'm bored.. Well I wrote this super nonsensical post, Proves that I'm bored already rite? =X .. haha .. CYA!
