Clean & Green Singapore 2010 Launch

30 Oct 2009 Friday

Today is the launch of Clean & Green Singapore 2010. But this year, we were doing nothing much ): We wasn't at any stalls or booths or what-so-ever. We were guides and ushers, standing by the back-gate waiting for the arrival of people from different schools and Community Centres. I almost felt like we were another exhibition of the Hort Park.

STOMP! Stomper Naomi saw this 2 girls sitting on the SMRT Train taking the entire row of seats. This is so irresponsible especially when our poor pregnant Bryan just standing beside.


By the way, the free goodie bag of the Clean & Green this year is cool. It is the bag itself, not really much on the content. I would be willing to pay cash to have it! Yizi said they sell outside @ $9.90 each. These bags are made from recycled banners, so every piece is one of a kind. And I've got this! PRETTY.

Mathematic


When the numbers and formulas turn into history. Old and rusty. Dull and lifeless. This is what you would do in calculus class: struggle.

Heh, Mitch Albom just released a new book a few weeks ago, " have a little faith". I want to get a copy of that!!!! Mitch Albom is also the guy who wrote the 5 people you meet in heaven, for one more day and tuesdays with morrie. 3 thin books with heavy contents.


To my reader from the foreign land: Our unfinished conversation had past a day, and I've not forgetten about it.

Liverpool Vs Man-U

Liverpool won Manchester United with a score of 2-0.
Don's ask me which team I support,I know nuts about soccer.

But really, I do love Liverpool's Crest that says " You'll Never Walk Alone". Comforting huh?

Anyway, salute to all the soccer players who ran 90 minutes continually. Should be right? Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm really tired and lazy to google search the duration of a match. Salute because I couldn't even run for 17 minutes ( passing time for NAFA 2.4 km), they can do a 45 minute.

My Sisters' Keeper

23 Oct 09, Friday

TGIF. First week of school seems long though many classes were cancelled. I need to master the art of stoning for at least 2 hours straight. I can only stone for 5 minutes, or maybe the max 15 minutes with the help of Wonka's Gobstopper before I fell to my lalaland.

I met goldfriends @ E-Hub for the movie, " My Sister's Keeper". Nice show with a meaningful story (: " Most babies are accidents. Not me. I was engineered. Born to save my sisters' life". And the story continues.

Stories of the terminally ill never failed to inspire me. I picked that up since I devoured one of Lurlene McDaniel's book in my secondary school years. I must admit that I have finished more than 70% of all her books, especially her One Last Wish novels. The rest unread were mostly because I couldn't locate them in the library.

Facebook Addict

" Weddings are a ceremony of possession rather than passion"- Blood Ties by Sam Hayes.
But I wouldn't call it a possession. A commitment maybe.

Heard of FAD?
Facebook Addiction Disorder.

http://ph.news.yahoo.com/abs/20091020/tph-are-you-a-facebook-addict-85c5a6c.html

I would have self-diagnosed that during attachment days. Spending up to 8 hours per day Facebooking. I did a bajillion amount of their Disney quizzes and I ranked the the top few for my farmvilles, farmtowns, barnbuddy, kungfu pets etc. I've gt the juiciest updates of my friends.

School is tested to be the best cure for FAD. Brain cells were wasted in comprehending the continuous blabbers on EMS and ECM that left you no time to even log in to Rollercoaster to auto-generate its income.

Clean & Green Singapore 2010 Briefing

I'll be volunteering @ Clean & Green Week 2010 Carnival. (: Cool, I really enjoy working or volunteering at carnivals! This will be my 3rd year there.

30 Oct- 1 Nov 2009 (Friday-Sunday)
9.30a.m-9.pm
Hortpark (Free Admission)

Shuttle Bus from Harbourfront MRT Exit D @ every 15 minutes interval.

2010? I don't know why. But if you google it, it's called the Clean & Green Week 2010. If you put 2009, they will refer you to last year's Barrage.

Want a glimpse of the Hortpark? Go to one of my 27 September Post. Lovely place, really. It links to Henderson Waves too. A long walk though.

I will update you more and I get the details of the programmes! I hope I got posted to some game booths((: Come, join me! Maybe we can go Halloween after that! Trick or treat?

Mindquest Vs World Issue

IS Classes: Mind Quest Vs World Issue.
Mind Quest: Neuro-Linquistic Programming, (NLP), words, thoughts and behaviour.


World Issues: Histories & Newspapers. Prejudice, discriminations, conflicts and terrorists.

Mind quest should be FUN and World Issues should be BORING! But my first lesson showed it otherwise.

500 Days of Summer and the Holiday's Over.


1st Day of the Semester.

Zooey Deschanel

18 Octber 09, Sunday


I went to wacth 500 Days of Summer with Chai Min & Raishan. Nice show ((: REALLY. I simply love Zooey Deschanel, especially her eyes and hair. She has a look and feel that is so much like Katy Perry!! Love them both.

Chai Min & Raishun didnt like the show, they say it doesn't have a story. Only I, caught and felt the story.


Katy Perry Vs Zooey Deschanel

Reformat

My laptop is getting so lag, almost at the intolerable level. Last time, I used to laugh @ Acer's frequent blue screens. Now the revenge is here. Plus my battery life can't even last for like 10 or 15 minutes.


So, I got Jackson to help me reformat it before the school start! Now, I've got a Windows Vista Black Edition. Everything is so new and unfamiliar. I'm really not used to it. I'm going the do up the Microsoft Offices tomorrow again.



Would you like to take a peep at my timetable? Piece them up together. Or maybe I simplify it for you, lessons start @ 9, 8,9,8,9.A.Ms, ending at 7, 12,2,7,5 p.m. Long hours of lessons. How am I going to cope with this after what feels like 8 months of holiday! But I still like the time table, at least it didn't have 4 hours of break like my poor hazel):


I'm so NOT ready for school.

Stardom

16 Oct 09, Friday.

After my Pilate lesson, I went lunching at Konbayashi Cineleisure with Hazel and a movie "Fame". Similar to that of Step Up, showing lives @ a performing art school. It doesn't really have a story, neither did I know which is the main characters because they starred everyone almost equally. It's entertaining enough just watching their talented songs and dances though(: It shows the difficulties of the students from a performing art school to really get into the work field, some made it big, while others have to think of other alternatives because they aren't that good yet. Stardom isn't easy.

The Orchard Central is really a mall of heights, escalators and lifts. I love our photoshots there(: Pretty.


While walking on Orchard Road with Raishun, we were spotted by Steven Lim from the mediacorp to join his modelling or drama things @ $100 bucks.Then he started boasting how Claire Lee Han Ying, our 1st runner up for Miss Singapore World 2009 is their model too. We rejected him of course. I never had a dream nor the potential of performing, except maybe for band! Anyway, today he smelt bad.





Carrie Underwood, too was Orchard, performing as part of the grand opening celebration for Ion Orchard. Sorry Girl, we were too busy walking @ Far East that we missed your big show. I love her song " Jesus take the wheels".



Next was Li Min Ho from Boys Over Flowers, who modelled at Etude House. He will be in Singapore Next Week too. Raishun got so crazy over it, that she started asking for vacancies to work in Etude House since the "Scracth to Win" Card to meet and have house party with him is so difficult.


But, I was never a crazy fan of any of them. Maybe Zooey Deschanel from 500 days of summer! (:

JB Trip

13 Oct 09, Tuesday

Thanks for all my sweet companions who were there creating and easing the panic attacks over the missing stamp on my passport. All of their effort and the presence really counts. Hazel, Junlin, Junlin's mum, Charlene, Charlene's boyfriend, Kaserin, Johnathan, Chai Min, Beverly, Carol, Kok Guan, Alan, Ronnie, Raishun, Raishun's Dad blah blah blah.

" The officer will threaten you."," You'll need to bribe the officer.", "Bribery is another offence."," You'll need to beg the officer." "Flatter the officer.", "Plead the officer", " Don't let the officer search you.", " Just ignore the missing stamp.", " Get it stamped ASAP", " you will be banned from Malaysia", "overstaying is illegal", "you'll be put behind bars " you'll be fine". All the advices and comments really scared to tears.

Tuesday morning, Raishun's Dad drove us in to JB(: He had helped me to get the stamped done. Thank God the officer is KIND! We got the stamp with just a little apology.

Alan, Ronnie, Raishun and I ended up having a one day JB Shopping Trip. (:
$ 1 SGD= $ 2.42 MYR

This bookmark from the book Breaking Dawn of the Twilight Series Raishun's holding got me through the customs smoothly.



Daytona @ City Square. I'm still in love with Daytona since the last drive with Goldfriends @ E-hub.


Movies @ $9 MYR, we watched the CHAW, a show about mutated boar, boring @ front part, but it got exciting near the ending.

Alan got his hair cut @ City Square too. ( Free cup of tea and 2 FHM Magazines!).


Thanks to Raishun's Dad who drove us there to and fro, saving us from the long queue and the intensive scanning @ the customs.


Dinner is all about Stingrays, Kang Kongs, Fried Qway Tiao, SugarCanes, Ju Qiong Fan,


Dessert include a Pumpkin Sago!

Oil Price is @ $1.80 MYR/litre

Grandma Birthday

I will be flying off in another few hours time to malaysia for my Grandma's birthday((: I will be back on Sunday for Eric's chalet if the fever should stop attacking me. See You Soon!

Good night, earthlings.

LTA Ambassador is tough

28 Sept - 8 Oct, weekdays.

Life as LTA Ambassador is really tough. REALLY. * Fumes rising*, the kind of fume that is hotter than having 3 consecutive nights of fever. It's lucky that fly and bear did not take up this job, if not the newspaper next day will read something like, " Men found dead in MRT Stations". and you wouldn't miss it because it'll probably be with a font size of 72 or bigger.

Sorry, I made an error in the "skills required": it should be "the ability to face complaints 13 hours a day independently and continuously smile for a week. "

This job is about getting paid $6 per hour to be LTA's scapegoat. Ya, queue too long, counters too few, notice too small, letters too late, staff too slow, system too inefficient. Everything and anything also my fault. Changing shift also my fault, taking lunch also my fault.

@ Chinatown, one men took my name straight to the head office, because the counter is changing shift for 20 minutes and I should pay him back his car park fees? Ya, he didn't take the number, he took the address.

Sometimes I wonder, why don't they blame themselves for not replacing their cards for the last 9 months? They took it on us, one week temp staff.

Many other fuming stories. I think I have never received such bad testimonies of myself before.

Of course, they are some nice events too(: The supervisor who encourage us with a pack of Riccola, Chinatown eyebrow shaping auntie who offer a seat and many other grateful and polite commuters and tourists who offer the most basic appreciation like " thank you" or even a smile. It's really a pleasure to serve such people, even if they took us extra time, extra explanation or extra walk. They are a delight((:

Now, this is called customer service. Still better than F&B though.
