Odac Overseas Trip was fun seriously.
First day
We went onto the coach to Malaysia. All we did was sleep, play cards, sleep, eat, sleep, eat before we reached our destination. Forgot to mention, cam whore too!
The main character. =D
Chuan Ting and me.
Again!
Soon.. I got bored... and..
I decided to be a poser and wear gerald's glasses. Don't I look cool?
Hahahaha! Not cool enough? Bah!
Reached our destination soon enough. Got out of our comfort zone(air conditioned coach) and boarded onto a lorry. Yes, a lorry. Kinda weird to see all of your friends inside the same lorry as you. Somemore standing and ducking upcoming trees branches. Haha! Along the way, we saw goat and cows. Pretty interesting ah?
Dinner was so so.
And the highlight of the day was... to bathe inside the jaguzzi. I have no idea why the jaguzzi is called this way. At least to me, it's just water gushing out from the gaps of a water pipe. Hahaha.
Yep, it looks like this!! We, the girls, bathe in this together. Of course with clothes on, you pervert. Lol.
Us.
And the huts that we were going to stay in for the four days.
Really reminds me of those kampong days.
Cos the girls were supposed to take the upper storey. However, as the number of guys outnumber the girls, we were forced to stay at the lower storey. There goes our fans, pillows and mattress.
Luckily, we still manage to kop some mattress or we were risk sleeping on the floor.
Met 2 new friends, Eliza and Jin Shu as we were going to be sharing the same room together. However, it ended up with 8 of us including Arvinda, Kwan Yee, Shan Yong and Shi Ya sleeping with us as we use the other room as a storeroom for our bags.
Second Day
Second day was well spent too. We did high elements and cave flying fox.
The high elements was really HIGH! Like 10 metres or something. It consists of 4 stations.
The first station was to climb up a metal like rope all the wayyyyyyy and walk through a thin wire using a upper rope as support. Second and third station was about the same thing except second station the supporting string is beside and not on top of our heads. Thus, balancing become a problem. Third station had no support at all except bits of strings which were like like 2 metres apart from each other. I seriously think I'm gonna die. Hahaha!
The last station was fun cos it's like flying fox but only lower.
Visited some caves. I used to only see caves in my geography textbook so I was damn excited to see them. The two caves that we visited are considered one of the smaller ones. And along the way, I got a bump on my head cos I hit onto one of the lower ceilings. Poor me. Forgot to mention, there's a hell lot of bats in the caves and I swear I felt one of the bats flying past my head. Haha!
Next, we visited the biggest cave in that area. The cave that communists used to live for like 15 yrs as their hideout. Pretty interesting actually as you get to see wordings like Long Live Mao Zedong, Long Live Communists, To hell with democracy... Stuffs like that on the walls. The scary part is, I wouldn't want to live in a cave for 15 years although it's like air conditioned cos it's quite cooling.
We climbed through all the mudpaths, rocks, stones and finally reached our flying fox destination. The flying fox wasn't as exciting as I thought but it was still fun. =D
Got really dirty that day and we bathed in the jaguzzi again! Sneaked into the guy's room with Chuan Ting and hear some ghost stories which was told by Mr Nordin. But it was not scary one.
Learnt to play Asshole Dai Dee that time. Our favourite past time.
Went to sleep soon after but got woke up a few times cos it's like freezing cold. Decided to snudge close to Chuan Ting but unsuccessfully woke her up during the process. Hahah!
Third Day
To me, it's the most FUN day. Cos it's waterfall abseiling and white water rafting.
The only scary part is there's LEECHES around the waterfall area. Muhaha (Real name Muhamin) got bitten 3 times. I think if I got bitten, I will scream like there's no tml.
Love the white water rafting except that I hit onto a hard rock and bleed a little. Damn pain siah. Hahaha! But overall, it was damn fun!!!! Cos my group got muscular guys. One of them from dboat somemore. So don't need to paddle as hard.
Heard some really scary ghost stories that night. Played level up and many other games like old maid.
I think overseas trip really rocks. I met some really great friends during the trip. It's a pity that not alot of people are able to make it though.Cos as the saying goes,"More people, more fun". Haha.
Our "home, sweet home".
Seeeeeee.. Our creepy room got orbs. I suspected it was "dirty" long ago. Hahahaha! kidding. :)
My new found friends and Chot!
With Gerald this time.
Group A rocks! We have joy, we have fun together. Guess it was my first time I really don't mind stepping onto mud, insects crawling on me etc. Hahhaha!
Not to forget, most importantly...
We love Odac. Maybe pastamania too. :)

Before I don't update for the coming 5 days. I shall flood this entry with self-obsessed photos of myself. YES, ME, MYSELF AND IRENE! That old movie in my primary school years.
I think I look like a vampire in this picture.
Okay, I'm just kidding about the loading my blog with zilian pictures of myself. Now if I say the word zilian, it will remind me of someone with surname of "zilian" in my telemarketing record. It's so funny that I was laughing at his name for a whole 5 seconds before I made the call. Haha!
And the funny thing is, Michelle also had the same person name in her account.
Well, today I was blog hopping, chatting on msn and rotting my life away. Even my brother had something to do. That is - to qiao his jiao on the running machine while having his lunch.
Forgot to mention, also play with his toy. Talk about multi-tasking eh? Hah.
Soooo, feeling bored and everything, I decided to take my camera out and uploaded the photos that was dated like a while back.
And the photos that were left buried inside was......
MY PW GROUP PHOTO! ON OP DAY ITSELF. Well, we met at the TM MacDonalds on the day itself and I can't help but think I have the talent of capturing people, not at their best moments, but at their worst moments.
Ahhhh! Chuan Ting, why you point middle finger! HAhaha!
She just gleefully smiled.
Audrey in deep thoughts.
Kek's blur look.
Erhemmmm.
And our grp photos.
Formal eh? Oh noooo, my skirt is slanted!
The informal one. No, it's not the 06S23 pose. It's supposed to be VE. We are a bunch of VE-ers (Short form for video editers).
And lastly, my design for odac overseas shirt.
Pretty eh? =D
Bye peeps! Just can't wait for Odac overseas trip!!!
Saturday, November 18, 2006
Busy busy busy. Just like a bumblebee. :)
Was thinking of how my holidays will be if I don't work. So, I came to a conclusion that it would be DULL. Know why?
Cos firstly, NO MONEY = No where to go = Play com all day = Rot at home feeling bored = DULL.
You think I would start doing the 6 articles/week gp holiday hmk? Fat hope. I think people who know me knows that that I am a last minute person and I like it. Hoho.
Some pictures that we took when we were hmmmm... slacking not working.
I wonder why I'm standing at such an awkward position. Guess Chuan Ting forced me to cower so that I would be the same height as her! Hah.
Ahhhhhh.. I'm being squeezed.
Toilets are the best place to slack. Seriously.
Ohhh. I remembered that day(the day that these photos are taken), it was like Yuling's birthday.
Let me digress a little. We went to Suntec to hunt for her pressie first cos really quite busy cos working mah. Guess what we bought for her?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
A BELT!!!! Not just any ordinary belt. It's damn pretty I tell you. Damn damn damn damn damn pretty. I liked it very much also. But guess I won't spent that amount of money on a belt bah. Hah! I'm such a cheapo. =X Cos normally I just share clothes with my sis. No need to buy any clothes.
Somemore the belt got diamonds on it. So bling bling. Lol. Ate nydc that day. Ex sia and food not that great. But it's a cool hangout place la.
Oh and must apologise again to May. Cos...
We were playing zhong ji mi ma then the person who kana have to drink this awful drink made up of water+chilli+cheese+alot of things. Then, I sort of emptied the entire cup onto her. =S
So sorry May!!! T-T
And more photos coming up. It's amusing when we even come up with themes to wear for the next day, next next day, next next next day etc.
On this very day, we decided on green top, jeans and spects!
The girls.
And in the toilet AGAIN. Told you it's our 2nd hangout place during work. Although it's like the whole row of us will disappear if we do as we just happened to sit together. Haha!
And it's our 2nd cos pantry is the first. =D
Lol. Can't blame la. Cos there got free water and biscuits!
And I guess the theme diease seemed to have catched on with the guys too. Just take a look at their attire.
Haha. A picture speaks a thousand words yeah? That's our "clique" in our workplace.
Yep.
**********************************
Today was fun too! Cos although it's a off day for me, I had to wake up early in the morning to fetch Aloy and gang.
YES, you guessed it, we had an ODAC meeting in my very house. So honourable yeah? Haa!
I think it was a fun experience. Too bad I had to cram them up in that small study room of mine which I rarely set foot in. Lol!
Damn funny to see all of them, Aloy, Quan Zun, Daniel, Shiya and Kwan Yee to be in my house. We discussed things from like... 11 plus am till 7pm. Talked alot of rubbish also. Very fun!
I love ODAC! Can't wait for the overseas trip and farewell night!!
<3
Op? Sounds like operation. Hah! Friday, November 10, 2006
Ah! So happy that today don't need to work. The next two days also. Finally have time to breathe.
Also, PW IS OFFICIALLY OVER. O-V-E-R. Well, at least for me. :)
But it was quite a horrible experience for me. Haha! Not cos I spoke badly or whatever but cos of the stupid video lar. Actually, now that I come to think of it, it's quite okay.
Cos.... I'm like quite scared if the teacher didn't stop the time when the video was playing. Then, the video is like 2 minutes long. Later eat into my time how????
Soooooooo.. At the start of the presentation, I told them that there will be a video showing, so I asked if they can stop the time when the video is showing.
Her reply stunned almost all of us in the room.
Her: "Are you commanding us to stop the time?" What the fuck? Damn attitude la. So what if you're a teacher and an assessor? But damn man! My results may get penalized at just that. :(
But I still apologized la. My friends said my face kinda changed. Guess it at least affected me by a little. Halted like 2 times but otherwise, it would be a smooth delivery bah. Q&A was okay too. I immediately forgot the question asked after saying a few sentence but luckily, I still crapped on. I think I have the talent of talking even though my brain is not functioning. Like completely shut down.
Haha.
Don't wanna care le. The horrible PW is 90% over. Yay-ness.
Since Dixon came up with some comments of us(PW mates), I decided that I should too!
Dixon
The creator of this topic. Pro in video editing whereas the others know nuts about how to edit videos. So the group video was done by him! A round of applause please. Also the "leader" in the group although sometimes cannot make it to meet us cos of his CCA but all is well in the end as he will make time on his own to help out too. Otherwise, how could he possibly be the leader? Haha.
Chuan Ting
Hmmmm... How could I get things done without her? Hey hey Chuan Ting, I bet you're flying now. She does the project along with me most of the time and helps in paraphrasing lots and lots of things. Although she is usually lazy, but she still makes an effort to bring her laptop to school? And indeed, the laptop managed to prove itself to be of much help. Yeah, thanks alot for bringing the laptop so that we could pia out the WR. Hah!
Audrey
At the beginning of the project, I think she's the most "isolated" person who is in the same project group with me as I don't usually get to talk to her. But after getting to know her, I found out that she's quite fun to be with lar. Also, although she is busy at times, she does make an effort to do the stuffs too and asked for updates within the group. Quite a helpful team mate to have. :)
Kek Hwee
Well well Kek Hwee, he's the second and last guy in our projectwork group. At first, I thought that he's those type of dao dao person who will be slacking behind and won't do anything one. In other words, sleepy member. BUT but but, he proven me wrong. Haha! Especially when I got to know him. Quite a lame and crappy person but helps out whenever he can. Especially the survey part. He ownself went to survey the people ok? Cos I think my group did the survey questions quite late sooo.. it's like not enough time to carry out the survey and not to forget, he's the guy who do all the graphs in the WR.
Hahahahaha. I guess that's the end of the people in my group. We came together by chance, so I do wish us, TP139 get back good PW results altogether! :) :) :)
Us wearing the ugly tag before OP. Hah!
Okay, enough of PW.
********************************************
I have some random photos all over. But I still decided to upload them onto my blog. Haha. So I hope you all could be as random as the photos as not all photos are taken on the same day, same time, same hour, same second. Hah!
Went to Orchard with Chuan Ting some time ago. Like... Sat? If I'm not wrong. Or was it Sun? =S
Us on the bus.
I swear I wasn't acting emo. I was just stoning. Yes, in that position. Then, Chot ask me to stay in that position when I tried to talk to her. Soooo.. she took this. I swear I wasn't lamenting for my lost love. Hah! Emo-ness.
Went to watch The Guardian that day. It was nice and touching but then, I still prefer... gore and scary movies or romance. Don't know why leh. Guess it's just a preference.
Chuan Ting's phone got this function where you can pose in different frames and she ask me to smile (just like normal phototaking) and took this.
Dumb photo. Yes, I'm posing the Guy's pose [naruto] cos it feels good to be in space. At the very least, I'm flyinnnnnnnnnnnng.
Next up, it's Hin Fan's birthday that day. Also, we had op rehearsals in school. Our personal rehearsal lar. =.="
Chot. Dixon. Me. Kek. *Audrey not present cos she had to go for vball training* I chiong down to school in the morning as I woke up at 8.30 when we are supposed to be in school at 9.00. Yes, with my sleeping attire. Haha.
After practising in the morning, we decided to go to hinfan's "birthday party". Ahh.. it's another nice meal at jackplace and some wishes + money gone. Haha. We shared a box of famous amos to give to the birthday boy. :)
We travelled from...
Tampines
To..
Marina Square.
Belinda was like saying my hair is damn straight so I look like sadako.
So I decided to scare her by lowering my head and putting my hand on her shoulder and act like ghost lar! She got freaked out immediately after seeing the photo. Haha!
Nevertheless, HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY HINFAN!!!!
Moving on, pictures of working. Although there's like only one.
Michelle and me. Took this cos she's sitting beside me. My sitting partner along with Wan Ting (Chuan Ting's friend). But not bad lar, she's very friendly so I crapped alot with her too.
Working wouldn't be fun without friends. <3
That's the end of this entry. Till thens...

Yes. Working is tough. Although it's like can call at your own pace, but I don't know why I just simply just can't seem to stop.
Well, for those who don't know, I'm working as a telemarketer for now along with Michelle and Chuan Ting for Mercury company. You possibly have not heard of this company before. Cos I don't either. Haha. Nevertheless, it's an IT solution company.
Our working hours are 8.30am-6.00pm. I think we slog our ass off for the 7 bucks per hour. We called approximately 200-300 phone calls today. Damn stress sia.
Don't know how to say but sometimes it's just hard to get the clients to give us the info we need. Damn #$@!#&.
Feel like punching them.
Luckily, our targets are not that high to achieve. 60 successful calls, 70 successful & unsuccessful calls and 150 total calls.
I think I achieved almost twice of that amount though. Haha. I achieved 120 successful calls, 203 successful & unsuccessful calls and roughly 250 total calls.
Of which, some are real unhelpful but I shall compliment the Singapore Esplanade. The receptionist is real nice. One of the nicest I called that day.
And guess what? I saw the amount of calls the people who are supposed to call thailand AND... they called only 21 - 36 companies. *faints*
So little can? Somemore they are thai and know how to speak thai.
Think I should visit the pantry more often next time. Heh! For free biscuits and water.
OP tml! Will upload my outing photos next time or never cos too busy. Meanwhile, you can visit Chuan Ting's blog to see the outings.

As the title suggests, I got a job yesterday.
It's about telemarketing lar. Still don't know what the hell is that. What if it's damn difficult? I am damn scared okay? Promoter still simple one. At least we get to see the people face to face. Later they hear my sexy voice then fall in love with me how? Hahahaha! Just kidding lar. Pay is $7/hr but depends whether you hit the quota or not. If you don't, then it's half pay. WTF right? Haha.
The interview is erm.. I don't know why. But I think it's scary lar. The rest think that it's still alright. Maybe cos it's like... my first time. Then they kept asking this asking that and expect you to give a loooooooong answer?
Hais. Didn't feel so good after all the interviews cos some of my friends didn't make it. Cos one is quite soft spoken and another one cannot work for many days. Haiyah. Don't be disappointed/sad okay? Still got chance de larh.
Cos the other day I asked my sis if got work. Then she introduced me to one. When I told her about the dates that I cannot make it. 10 nov, 25-28 nov and 18-22dec, she went,"Huh.. so many days cannot. No job will want you one lar. Don't need to find job already. Rot at home bah." %#@&^&#@ right? AND THE FUCKED UP PERSON DIDN'T REPLY TO MY SMS REGARDING THE JOB.
But I think that is reality la. So... Don't feel so bad lar, my friend. :)
Took this pics along the trip all the way from Tampines to Buona Vista and back to Tampines.
Me!!!! Duh. Who else can it be?
Acting cute. But I think this looks extremely bai chi.
Chuan Ting and Michelle. LOOk at chot's expression. So kuku! Hahaha.
Dixon and Yuling.
************************************************
Went to school again today to do up some of the op stuffs. Rehearsed a little and went to tampines mall to eat. This time, I ate something different. I ate MOS burger. I tell you all, the terriyaki chicken burger is the best. Accompanied with peach tea and the fries, it's damn nice okay? Haha.
Also, I bought diamond crystals!
Pretty right? I didn't the patience to stick the crystals one by one. The crystals are all glued together by a transparent tape. Hence, I only took 2 minutes of my life trying to stick that on my phone. Hahaha! I know it's cheating and the sticker is a rip off. $2.50 only. Consider how much it makes my phone nicer and prettier, I think it's worth it.
Also also, my sis went to this online shop.
We saw this dress. SIMPLY IRRESISTABLE. Damn pretty right? Yeah I think so. Soooooo.. she bought it. I wonder how long will they be posting it over. Can't wait to see it. The best thing is it cost only $22. =D
I love everything.
Wednesday, November 01, 2006
Actually, now I felt very bored doing nothing and just staring at my computer screen all day. The things that I did these few days are eat, sleep, watch a few episodes of deathnote comic and do the same thing over and over again.
I feel so bo liaoed. Haha!
Oh yeah, we had our second dry run yesterday. Hmmm... I guess my group did alright but we can better it to 6-6-6-6 yeah? Haha! =D
Yessssss. That's full marks. Although it's still kinda far-fetched from me cos I got...
4/6 for the speech part.
3/6 for audience
3/6 for question
5/6 for group cohesion and ppt!
Yes I know my group rocks. Haha! So I got 15/24 and that's about 63%. Still not good enough though. But I will continue to work hard! =D
Must work hard for Band 1!! Guess I must really memorise part of my script already. So sian diao de lorh.
-________-"
And today is a rainy and stormy day. There's even thunder ringing around me as I typed out this entry. Can get heart attack one lor and I think a few of them are so loud my right ear is almost going deaf. Luckily, I don't have any phobia of thunders. Cos I remember someone saying that she will cry when there's a thunderstorm.=X
But nevertheless, there will always be...
rainbow after the rain!
Hope that would cheer up the dullness of today's thunderstorm. <3
