Exburence

That's the state I have been in since 11.33pm from last night onwards.

I cant believe I wanted to skip the convo ball.

One night, and I managed to take pictures with ex-crush turned into acquaintance, ex-crush turned into bitching buddy and ex-crush turned into crush again.

A night full of eye-candies. And my eye-candies appeared on stage so often, that I almost wish Im in the table of professors right in front.

And it was only last night, that i truly understand, I should not leave everything to fate.
I took the initiative

Hee.
In the ladies , a message was sent out "Still around? Take pic?"

Minutes later, ok, like moments later (all these were done during my pee-ing in the cubicle)
he called.

My bravery for the moment exchanged for me a few minutes of chat and a photo that is so precious.

(I did not even flinch when clara dropped my phone and it splintered into a few pieces. But if its the cam that's dropped, I think she wont have met her eyecandy for the night)


But i think the moments of exburence will turn into depression, unless something stops it and lead it to something else.

I think i have to initate again.

sian

Bleagh, i have been asked this Q so many times over these 3 weeks, that i did not flinch when the partner and the cab driver asked me this Q.

Alot of people has been asking me, whether that work is siong.
yes, siong in trying to fight for work.

They pay me 100plus a day to cut and paste paper.
This kind of work, also must fight over one.

Oh and i finally received my letter of increment.
The partner giving us the letter was nice.
"Liu Wei, so are u a local?"
"yup, Singaporean" (No flinch there)
"Liu Bang de Liu?"
"huh?" ( pauses and tries to think of who's Liu Bang. Oh, hes some ancient china official)
"yea. that Liu"
"haha Im also a Liu."
(tries hard to haha along. U know, its lunchtime, n its eating into my time)

"So its spelt as Lau?"
"Huh?"
"the hokkien dialact"
"nono, im not hokkien. me, hakka."

I really hate making small talk, and i think it shows on my face coz after talking to a few ppl next to me, Partner Liu turned to me and told me not to look so worried.

:s?

'Why do u look so worried? Im not going to eat you up!"

:s

During lunch, everyone asked me to smile more.

:s

Cannot. when i hold a smile for too long, my cheeks start to tremble.
Flabby cheeks, no muscles. Its like when ur arms are flabby and u hold things for too long, yr arms will start to tremble right?

right.

At 4pm, "Who stays near Harbourfront?"
I swear my hand never reacted so fast b4

At 4.05pm, I was already downstairs waiting for a cab. Hee. the whole office was envious of me being able to go dispatch stuff and being able to charge time for it.

My happiness was shortlived. I managed to make an embarrassment out of myself by queue-ing at the wrong end of the taxistand.

I perched myself right in front of the first guy in the Q and managed to look so righteous that, after the first guy went off, the angmoh behind came up to me and said this is where the Q start? (he was there before me)

"yup"

And so the Q continued behind me.

:s

Soon, theres a commotion about the Q coz ppl were starting to be blur about the Q cept for me.

And i was made to stand at the right end

:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S

I hope no one knows im from XX.

heh. for once, i kinda look forward to going to the dentist.

coz that means NO WORK.

wa lau shiok.

it feels damn shiok to be at home chatting w ppl from ey and pwc, when they are asking if im at a client or hong leong and actually im at home watching videoes.

but i took leave twice in 2 weeks.

n my leave is running out.

Did i mention this is only my 3rd week of work?

bah

Mommy says shes going to make me a pillow, with stones
:s
since when are pillows filled with stones and crystals, n not wool and feathers.

But its supposed to have some healing effect.
Like anti-tumour and cancer.

I look like i got cancer in the head meh?

The first half of the day was filled with speeches again.
Lunch was intercontinental buffet.

The Q was so bloody long that we attacked the sushi and salad bar first.

Then we sat down and stabbed at our cold veggies and salmon.

Liu: The function room so cold liao, the food makes me colder.
Wenli: :S
Liu: I think the Q to the buffet is shorter now

So off we went to attack the food and cakes

When we had our 2 hands full of plates each, we settled down.

The ex-cute guy( i really think im gross sometimes) remarked
"oh we thought u guys were just surviving on salad and salmon. so healthy. Eh you guys eating how many course meal"

After the hour and a half long lunch, we role-played
thepartners and managers were the undergrads and we were the kp ppl
:s
careerfair roleplay. eeks

luckily in my team, theres a damn AA smu guy, a girl and a guy who worked for 4 months already, one china girl whos damn outspoken, one malaysian lao lao girl whos damn PR, and 3 quiet ntu girls.

hehehe

We just kept smiling.

Oh did i mention that we got third place? coz apparently we manage to solicit the most number of partners to come to our booth.
A borders card each was the result of the indian guy's labour.

Wenli: Eh i damn paisei to take the card le.
Liu: Just take la. Not taking means we know we should be paisei hor.

Dinner was bbq buffet.
Nice white tent set up in the palour, the dinner was held underneath it.

On the way to the table, i passed by waiters carrying trays of beer and wines.
Cannot. i must ren.

After sometime, (only the manager and the guy next to me were drinking)
i decided to break the silence

Turning to the guy next to me,
eh is that tiger beer?

Umm, i dono le. cant tell.

hmm okay. sigh. coz i dont drink tiger.

umm okay. u wanna give it a try?
(after a short pause) That is if u dont mind my saliva.

ohh umm...(looking at the glass)
okay.

*took a small delicate sip with the ppl opposite us staring at me*

Umm i also cant tell if its tiger. nvm

5mins later,

You want the beer not? i go take the beer for u.

hmmm Okay!. hee thanks

After some beers ( not my fault, the waiter kept topping up my glass) and a few crayfish and steaks, i started to relax and grin.

I started cracking jokes with the random audit partner that plopped down beside me.
The one that bet with us and cheat us our money.
The one that cracks damn lame jokes and ended up having us telling him that his jokes are very cold

I guess the 2nd day wasnt that bad after all.

Oh and did i mention that tmr, i get to start work at 10?

i guess im still on honeymoon

Slept at 3 and woke at 6.30 automatically.
Alarm was set to ring at 6.45.

We were all packed off to Fort Canning where they drowned us in speeches.

Yes, one speech per hour with tea breaks in between.
6courses Chinese lunch.

no, clara, i have no appetite even though theres sharksfin and grouper. (The skirt was too tight. I couldnt breathe)

no, clara, the guy-girl ratio is 1:3.5. And all the guys are ugly. Neither am I interested in foreigners.

At the table we were randomly assigned: foreigners outnumbered the locals.

Current affairs were the hot topic at the table. I tried to look interested but i think i ended up looking blank.
Wenli and I ended talking about diets and wallets(alone).

At 4pm,
Wenli: I cant breathe le. skirt is obstructing my tummy
Liu: I also cannot breathe. how huh? go toilet also no use le

And we struggled to cover our tummies with our bags throughout the 8 hours worth of speeches.

Oh did I mention that we were each given this trolley luggage thingy lookalike? We thought it was a laptop bag with our laptops in it coz it looks like a laptop bag on wheels.
Nope! its a luggage thingy for files and docs.

Wenli: So ugly, how to bring it home?
Liu: Leave it in the function room la, we are coming back tmr. Can chop our seats somemore

After reading the handbook,
Liu: Ummm i think we better bring it home. Have to return it when we quit, if not need to pay $60.=(

I thought graduation spells the end of workshops, elearning and presentation workshops.

I din know we have to complete endless workshops, and presentation tests in front of a group of 90 strangers.

:S

Oh, and have to check emails daily. Thats when they will drop the bomb on you for the workshop.

This really make NTU feels like a breeze.

I miss NTU.

Ohya, got bbq dinner till late tmr. With 60 partners and managers somemore, i think im losing my appetite. Work really helps to maintain one's figure

p.s. people actually take notes during the speeches. wth. i think wenli and i are blacklisted for chitchatting during the speech esp with the table of partners and managers next to us.

Mom: Im going to give you a surprise!
Liu: ooohh, u gonna buy me the wallet?

Mom: umm no?
Liu: OOOHHH u gonna gimme MONEY!!!

Mom: ......
Liu: then not surprise liao. coz surprises are things Im supposed to look forward to having.

Mom: Im gonna make u a new pillow (pipi)
Liu: WAAAAAA.

hehehe, and im gonna have her to make the pillowcase in the exact same material my other pipis are clothed in. (provided that she can still find it)

I really love surprises
