...:: Stranded in Yishun! Heh. ::...

Last night was fun! Followed Khai n mates to a jamming session in the most ulu part of Yishun I've been to! Haha!

Mamat's bro was there too. He is super-fantastic!!! He plays the guitar so well! My GOD!! He played my fave song, 'Starlight' by MUSE. Woah. I was just mesmerized!! Really!! If you had seen the way he played.... you'd know what I mean.... I just melted. Haha! It was worth it.

Then finally I got to see the boys play. They're pretty good. Mamat on the drums. Wow. He's good and modest. And a bloody clown...even while playing the drums. Haha! Lamin also not bad la! He sings alrite, more shouting though. Heh. He plays the guitar ok too. Found out it's cos that's his favourite song. Haha. Nizam - Baik~ Haha! Plays the bass quite well too. At least he and Mamat's bro played quite smooth. Haha! Mamat... I'm a drumer babe. I LOVE drummers. So, standing next to Mamat and watching him play the drums...wow!

Then of course....... Khai played the guitar! Farnie la he. He hasn't touched an electric guitar for quite some time so kinda rusty. They played a MUSE song. Can't remember what song though. I think it was 'New Born'. Kelaka nak mampos!! Haha!! Then he just strum2 to get the feel of the guitar. Finally later on he played the bass for The Strokes and Cranberries. Nice. Hehe. I was sitting next to Mamat so when Khai was playing I kept looking at Mamat and pointing to Khai saying " Tu laki aku tau!!" HAHA!!

Last nite really kekek seh. Daym fun. Though there were some wet blankets there. Annoying me to hell. I still managed to have fun. I don't get it. You go for a jamming session either to play or to listen. So at least TRY to enjoy it la. Just cos you never get to play YOUR song doesn't mean you should throw tantrums. GOD! It's always harder for me to click with girls than guys. I don't know why... Maybe it's just me. I just assume too early. And my assumptions, which are 70% spot on, always leaves me with more guys rather than girls. HAHA! At least guys are more straigth forward. Girls, act tough, then wen it gets dirty, they SLAP or PULL HAIR. Watdefaq?!

So yesterday's "Song of the Night" was ' Commercial Breakdown - The Sunshine Underground'. It was the first time I heard this song and loved it IMMEDIATELY! Thank you boys! "Jammer of the Night" goes to Mamat's brother. *Salute* And....last but not least.... The "Event of the Night" was.... Being stranded in Yishun with no money and then taking a cab back leaving me $20 poorer!!ARGH!!!!!! It's all YOUR fault!! Hahah!! Bluff me...say 11pm we're going off... In the end....12+ den we left..... Hurhurhur.

My mom so cute... I called her and told her I'm in Yishun [this was done at 11.45pm, btw] and she was like "Huh?? What you doing in YISHUN??" Haha! So farnie! I told her what happened and reminded her not to lock the front door for me cos I didn't have the keys with me. Heh. Kewl. Finally after 21 long years, coming back late is not a problem for me! Woopdeeedooo!!!

Since 17... I would beg and plead to stay out late, only to be told that if I do come back later than the time specified, I'd be grounded for 3 months. So much for enjoying my teenage life. Alot of lying and sneaking around tired me after a while. So I decided to just tell them the truth if I was going clubbing or overnighting anywhere...this of course only happened at the ripe old age of 18 going on 19. I used to think that all my friends were so lucky to be able to do whatever they wanted. Then now when I see them. Rosak. Either mother of 2, divorced, slutty or drugged out. Some of them wear tudung now! HAHA! What a world.

Ok la. Today is the last Saturday to see Lamin before he heads down-under. Heh. Going town later. Weee!!! Somehow I think that won't happen cos Daya is going out and Nenek is at his house... So, I guess I'll most prob rot at home. Heh. Or.......... read on later... Kwakwakwa.

Liz is coming back!!! WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!

Oh Ya!! After watching this psychotic thriller, I heard about this group Goldfrapp. Wonderfull. I'm sure Daya will LOVE it. Who would have thought a psycho thriller would introduce me to music! HAHAH!!

...:: And so a week has passed...almost. ::...



So a week has passed. Well actually I'm left with one more day of work. So far so good. I can do my quotations on my own. Ok, ok... I got a little help. It was really just a little help. I just needed help to clear the some stuff up and even my partner didn't know the answer! And she has been in that role since February.


I got one more week left to learn as much as possible. Somehow my "mentor" reminds me of Salbiah. Haha! She also reminds me of Kak Ayus, a little of the looks and style of speaking, but character kinda like Sal... Haiz... Hope she's better though. Oh well.


So my job scope..as I've grown to realize...is more of a PA job rather than a Sales Support job. I knew I had to do support, but I didn't know that it included photocopying and faxing for the Sales Rep. Haha! Well... I DID say I wanted to be a PA anyway. Now I got it. But I'm a PA to more than one person. WoopDeeDooo!! heh.


Today I finally felt like I'm working 'cos En was on leave and I got a desk to myself. I can't wait to move to the new showroom, then I'll get my very own DESK!! Not like the one at C***T. And not like the one at AMQ either! Finally a PROPER office! Heh.


When we finally move to the new showroom, I'll start work at 11am. I have to work retail hours. It's alrite I guess, but then I have to work 1 weekend. Still, I only need to work 4 weekdays. Heh. It's a 5 day work week, but it's not a Mon-Fri thing. No biggy la. I get a nice office, I start work late and the pay is good. I loike!!


The people at SPACE not bad la. Really gerek la. I'm still hiding in my cocoon now. I'm trying to read the people there. Why is it everytime I go somewhere new, the guys seem so much more easier to get along with?! Women are just too complex for me! [I sound like a MAN!!] Seriously though, I find it so much more easier to click with men than women. Women just get so territorial and they get so sensitive and emotional and bitchy! And with women, you never can tell if they're genuine! Men, if they don't like you, they diss you. If they like you, they annoy you! Simple!


I'm really enjoying my work so far though. I love looking at the furniture, walking around the showroom and seeing how blardie EXPENSIVE the furniture cost!! A sofa, fabric, can cost up to S$8K!! The designs are gorgeous though. And the fabric... Ooh La La!! The colours are so rich and the fabrics... There's so many different kinds and different textures and different names. I got alot to learn. I know I'll enjoy it though. I mean, I just simply adore the furniture there. LOVELY!!!


...peace...

Finally at aroung 11+am I got to do SOME work! Quotations, labels, erm...I finally got to play aroung with the system they use. Quite ok la. Understandble.

Then I started to stay awake.



Today nothing much la.


Shakes wane use the pc now...

...:: SPACE Part 1 ::...

So today was my first day at SPACE. Was alrite. Very noral first day. Just sit around and try to learn as much as I can. Still need to familiarize myself with all their lingo.

My mentor, En, she's alrite. Quite nice la. She's quite funny. I learnt the basic stuff about my job. Noticed that there isn't a standard workflow. Everything is kinda done as and when you're told to do things. Their database and system kinda weird. I need to get used to that too. The environment there is nice. The people are nice too. Then again, it is my first day. And unlike in COMAT where I got scared as hell when I met Christie, the guys at SPACE are quite a nice bunch. Almost all 90% of the people in my department speak Malay! Kewl!!

This is just the beginning. Hope it's better than COMAT. Even is it isn't, I still won't regret leaving COMAT.


Hope I won't get those words thrown back at me as time goes by though.



This is the end of part 1. Kinda tired now. Will update as and when I can.



Peace!!
