Everything nice that happened in a month

Seems like its just yesterday when I started to work, now Im already working for a month! Getting more used to the job scope and Im loving it! Pretty good working environment with good relations with my colleagues! Most are really nice. In the sense, they guide me along and teach me a lot of things! Boss' temperamental hahah i guess that applies to most lady boss...

Its my first office job, so I learnt a lot in the sense of how things work and how people communicates etc its interesting in both good and bad ways haha

I am working in Genting Singapore! know RWS? yup, RWS is a subsidiary of our company! And, I realised the age group is quite young! Just the corporate office itself, currently, I am aware of 3 school friends who are working in it! About the perks, I get to travel to Sentosa for lunch and when I am asked to go over.. And, to enter USS for free! But I cant play the rides la :(

Everyone's favourite minions!! I saw them when I was about to exit the USS!

They are so fat Im gonna dieee!!!! hehehehhe think Im getting fatter too! Thanks to all good food around my office heheehe the food are pricey too~

Also, last Friday, I had my convocation! Marks the end of my routined school life! The registration for the convocation starts in early April, convocation/graduation ceremony itself is optional. Not all students went for it though. For my year (2014 May), there were 6 sessions. 2 sessions each day. Mine is on the morning of the last day. Usually, span from wednesday to friday.

Gown/Mortarboard collection is in mid April at Serangoon Broadway Studio. Some ulu place, opposite of the new MOM building.

A day before my convocation, I was thinking since the ceremony starts at 10am, students got to sit at 915am so what time do the students got to reach to register and put on the gown?? (Take Note: please log on to your SIM portal aka SIMCONNECT, under the graduation tab, there will be details on registration time!) Apparently, I read it in some blog, that mentioned that registration time is from 8-9am!

For my convocation, I kept it pretty low profile because I didnt want to trouble friends to travel down all the way. But anyway, just a short rant. well, hopefully it will be a short one hhaha I feel, if your friends are true friends, even if they are not studying in SIM or do not have classes that day, they will be down to support even without having you to personally ask them to. They will naturally ask for your convocation date and time. Apparently, I have friends who go, "ohh your convocation on friday, ahh i dont have class leh cannot be down" you get my point? its not as if they need to have class, to travel to school to pass some well wishes to their friends. of course, well wishes delivered through sms/whatsapp are sincere wishes as well, but it will be better if they are physically down right? Imagine having to go for convocation without any friends wishing you when all the others graduates have. (end of rant) hahaha before i continue to rant on and on like one auntie.

Receiving 2 awards. oh by the way, I had the misconception that the VIP Reception you see during every graduation (the one at the corner near the Lifts in Block A atrium) is for all First Class Graduates. No. Its for award winning students. i.e. a few top FCH graduates for the course, or the top Second upper class graduate if there are not FCH grads in the course

wahlao, we got to queue up to take photo with this banner...

Like i captioned it in Facebook, "I believe I can fly~~~" lol super funny

with my bro~

Elaine and the lighting mortarboard hahahahah was throwing the mortarboard and this photo captured me catching the falling mortarboard

My mom and bro! Papa was working and meimei going for a uni interview!

ok thatz about it! byebyeee~

开工大吉

Just as the title suggests, working lo!

Have been through lots of ups and downs for the past months. Tmr will be my first day, and Im not afraid cos Im a lion king! Though yet started, I sense that this will be definitely a good experience for me (regardless how others comment on the company)!

4 days before 3.16, I finally got my job.

All the best, Elaine! Jiayou! Fighting!

on a side note, collected my graduation cert from RELC today! Everything was smooth today (from interviews to going back Univ with my sister) and I like it!

1 month

oh hi Im back after nearly a month... Been busy with watching Hallyu drama, searching for jobs, and planning for DM and SUJ Exchange!

Just wrote my letter to Ikeda Sensei! Both my victories for last year and past months and my resolutions from now on. Its refreshing to think back! and full of conviction and determination while planning ahead! Its March already! So fast!

Anyway, Ill be slowly (im slow enough already =.=) sending my resume to the private firms as I have not been doing so... Only sending to banks and government sector which take super long time to get back. Gotta act fast! Thankful for my friends and seniors in faith around and of cos to have sensei guidance to guide me along when Im all confused, low morale, low life condition, lost etc... Thank you~

Did I mention that I won hotel voucher in Seoul Myeong Dong in Feb/Jan???? Yah... only hotel voucher. Still contemplating if I should fly over this spring! But could only bring either 1 other or 3 other. Need to check the room occupancy. If Im going, it will most probably be after my convocation or end March? I havent book air tickets yet!!!! Just a pretty short trip in Seoul and maybe somewhere outside Seoul that I can travel to via the subway la :)

In late Feb, I received one letter from SIM! Make a guess? Its commendation letter! Received UOL Top Student Award- Bronze for my course. Not sure if that means Im the top 3? No idea how many recipient per award. And, the SIM Special Recognition Award! #justsayin to keep track of things! I only write online diary which is this... so yah... not flaunting or what. Just wanna write down for memories sake :) So how do I feel after receiving? Both happy for the money and upset cos this makes me look even cui-er that I STILL COULDNT FIND A JOB :( Just like the upset me is not sad enough, my sister asked me to sign a declaration form that Im an unemployed for University application :(((( double kill (im fine now anyway still fighting strong! other people are challenging even tougher things than me! I ought to be strong and courageous!)

And yesterday, we had our Soka University of Japan Exchange meeting! The meeting ran rather smoothly. except a few obvious sound system down, but luckily its only for a few seconds. Thankful for the team I worked with, very very very meticulous, always had contingency plans, kept tight communications via callings and meeting up to settle, for my case, culture performance. Thankful to have the 2 chiefs who are guiding us along well, such that we are able to fully run the programme yesterday ourselves. Thankful for the support given by the fellow trailblazers who helped to reach out, contact members, design and make the souvenirs, discuss and decide the dinner reps. Thankful for my culture performers who memorised the japanese song lyrics (which are said to be confusing even to choir trained singers!) within 2 practices and touched the audiences by the brightest and beautiful smiles ever!

끝.

We used to be best buddies, but now we are not...

Anna:
Elsa?
(Knocking)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on lets go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
I wish you would tell me why
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn't have to be a snowman.
Elsa:
Go away, Anna
Anna:
Okay, bye...
(Knocking)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls
lets go
I think some company is overdue
I've started talking to
the pictures on the walls
(Hang in there, Joan!)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty rooms
Just watching the hours tick by
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)
(Knocking)
Elsa,
Please, I know you're in there...
People are asking where you've been
They say have courage, and I'm trying to
I'm right out here for you, just let me in
We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do?
Do you wanna build a Snowman?

Yesterday when I was on my way back home, I was sharing with YC how awesome Frozen the movie is! She agreed in that too! hahah its really different and its different in a good way! We liked those OSTs too! Just before we parted, we were talking about how cute Disney portrayed the song- "Do you want to build a snowman?"

And there is this part which struck me the most- "We used to be best buddies, but now we are not, I wish you would tell me why..."

After getting a seat on the bus, I saw my old friend!! Like my primary friend... We used to best buddies in Primary 1 to at least primary 5... We still talked in Primary 6 but unfortunately due to different mindsets? and her grandma didnt seem to like me- saying how I was a bad influence? and predicting I will be studying in the bad neighbourhood school next to our block after PSLE... The sore part was probably the fact that she listened to her grandma who made no sense... and ended up befriending friends who led her astray =.=

The point is that, whether one is a good friend, does not depend on which school the person attended! It is the character! I may have been playful when I was younger, but thats normal isnt it? Kids are childish, kids are playful. Kids matured into young lady/young adult only through experience, through learning from mistakes.

She stopped schooling after Secondary 5... and started work. Now, she's going back to school again, which is a good thing! 

I really do feel sorry for her- cos she wasted her time on Education, on meeting friends, on meeting Mr. Wrong. Cos she's really a nice friend, a nice person. She deserves better.

And so when I saw her on the bus (I think she didnt recognise me?) it was really awkward... like how Elsa and Anna met again during the Coronation Day... But I wished I had Anna's courage in initiating the first move.

Horse year- DUA HUAT!

HAPPY HORSE YEAR!

2014- Horse year was said to be a huat year for all goaties/sheepies! Have you ever seen 3 different kinds of luck i.e. Wealth, General Luck and Romance predicting the zodiac having great romance in the year? I have! And thats my zodiac, for this year! Much lol? Told my family that I may have so much romance that I nose bleed lol anyway jokes aside. Im gonna fully utilise the great luck I have this year!

Spent my January doing things like volunteering work and shopping for Chinese New Year goodies! yumyum~ I might be joining volunteer group! Cos doing volunteering is really good! It allows us to meet people who are richer than us. We learn from one and another. Ive seen some of them who seem to not have anything, yet they owned something thats much worthier than any of us have gotten! I want to expand my life. I want to train myself to be a compassionate person amid this working society. I hope I have the time and I hope I will make time for that.

Trip to Chinatown with my family!

Bakkwa at Bee Cheng Hiang! Too hard :/ So I prefer Lim Chee Guan's signature sliced pork which is softer but sometimes saltier :/

I think I grew so fat u know? tsk.
