Journey to the Working Society Begins...

I know this title sounds weird as I have graduated like 3 months ago. Even though I have been working part time in between but mostly it was just 1 week kind of work. So doesn't really count as a real job. This time I finally found one full-time job. I am giving myself 3 months to test the waters. Hopefully I can stick to this job for long or that the company will convert me to a confirmed staff. I am really too lazy to look for another new job!

Worked for two weeks already, so far not so good. Colleagues and bosses are really nice people. Its just that my work performance is not that good. Made a big mistake last week as I placed a candidate to the wrong product training. As my director was at overseas, the manager reported the matter through the group whatsapp and I apologised for my mistake. The director replied, "the managers should be held responsible." and the managers began to apologise as well. I felt damn bad la because it was really my mistake for not checking properly and had to implicate the managers. Then I received a private whatsapp from my director stating,

 "don't worry. everybody learn from mistake. It's okay to make mistake just don't repeat the same mistake. next time clarify with the managers first."

People around me all telling me its okay and don't worry about it. That makes me felt more guilty and angry at myself for making the stupid mistake. I strongly believed that people cannot be praised. The day before I was still being praised by my managers that I'm very hardworking. The very next day, this shit happened. REALLY IS CANNOT PRAISE ONE. But fortunately, the bosses and colleagues are really forgiving.


Just before I can calm myself down, another problem arises. I can only blamed myself for being a smart aleck. My HR manager asked the admins if anyone knows how to make a photo video. No one answered a thing, I raised my hand and said, "I can". 
Because I've made videos before using windows movie maker, I thought it would be a piece of cake. Neither did I expected that it is a GIGANTIC piece of cake that is too hard to swallow. I used two days to create the video using windows movie maker and just when I completed putting 500 photos with music, it just couldn't be saved. Probably due to the huge video size. 

So I went to Wei Shan's house to learn making the video using Macbook. Did all the way till midnight and finally managed to save it successfully. Tested the video at the office's TV(thats where they gonna display it), to my horror, it couldn't be supported. I was like,

Spent my entire weekend trying to convert the video to FLV format. Its either the free software can only covert a small size of the video or totally don't work. I even tried to upload to youtube and download the video as FLV version. Did managed to download the video but some of the songs were gone. TELL ME WHAT DID I DO WRONG TO DESERVE THIS. 

It was really frustrating but I don't want to just leave it hanging there, I want to complete my job nicely to impress my bosses. lols. Too ambitious huh~ okay la, not impress, at least not causing damage to my image that I'm unprofessional. Last resort, gonna head over to Wei Shan's house and try converting the video. If it still doesn't work, I'll really 死了这条心.

Wish me luck.

Polymates Meetup.


I like this picture alot, its as if we are taking a photoshoot. You know, like the CD cover of a new band. hahahaha. Seriously think too much.

Anyway, meet up with my polymates last week at newly renovated Plaza Singapura for dinner. Dinner was at Hifumi, a Japanese restaurant located at PS new wing, level 4. When I first heard the name of the restaurant over the phone, I was like, "Huh? Sinful Me?". Hifumi and Sinful me. Close enough. LOLS!

If you order a set meal, there will be freeflow of small sidedishes for you to eat till you drop!

Fried Toufu.


Mochi. It was a bit hard than the usual mochi though.


Chawanmushi

Tempura with sour plum.

There are other dishes to choose from besides those that I've mentioned.


Maindishes

Chicken Cutlet with egg



 Pork cutlet with egg.


For my pork cutlet, I think it tasted alright only. Not till the extent where I could finish up everything. Had  quite a few leftover pieces.

Price was quite okay, each person paid around $17 to $20. Taking into consideration the freeflow of side dishes, should be quite worth it! Besides, you can see authentic Japanese chefs and waiters serving you. 

Hifumi
Plaza Singapura
Unit: #04-68


After eating, it was time to camwhore.








There was a screen at the side showing the images captured on the CCTVoutside the lift. We stood under the security camera while the guys took the picture from the screen. If the security guard happened to review the CCTV, he/she might be thinking what the hell were these 3 girls doing. I hope we won't get stomped  for this. LOLS.

Also, there was this small area where they have a "PS I <3 U" on the wall. Camwhoring mode activated.

Yin Mei's shaky hands. =(



Xiao Yan suggested the act cool look

followed by a happy look



Had a great time catching up with them. They even planned to meet up for exercise every week. lols. I don't think I can do it. Sunday is a rest day for me! Reason being that I have finally found a job. Just one week of work already made me very stress up. That explains my lack of blog entries. I will blog more frequently once I get the hang of my work and settles down!

Halloween at Clarke Quay, Our Lucky Day!

Headed over to Clarke Quay last Saturday with Yin Mei as a Halloween event was held over there. Saw lots of people wearing costumes and roaming around. Some people even asked for a picture with random people in costumes. Perhaps that is the only day where you can openly go around taking pictures of strangers without getting beaten up. Except for clubs when people are mostly drunk and will be extremely friendly to take a picture with you if you ask for one. lols. 

My scumbag head moved causing the picture to be so blur. 

The ghost-head-in-cage looked kind of creepy.

 Decorations around the fountain area

We bought a devil headband!

Next time they could make metal ones so that I can wear it and charge towards the crowd like a bull for them to give way. Idea huh~! lols. Why I said so, because there were alot of people that day, more than the amount of people at the Oktoberfest. Was feeling sweaty even though I've only reached for less than 30mins. Ok la, maybe it's just me, I sweat easily.


I don't even know if it they were hired for the event or just normal passerby

Free hand paintings!


I was surprised that there were actually very few people queuing for the face/hand painting maybe because they didn't know it was FREE. Initially Yin Mei wanted the face painting but I didn't want it because my skin condition is bad enough, I wouldn't want to make it worse. So we went for the hand paintings instead. Yin Mei was supposedly the last person in the queue to get the hand painting and I was behind her. Luckily the painter was kind enough to draw one for me as well!  *Happy*

Took some photos outside The Arena 


 They even hung a dead dummy on the tree

Wanted to enter a club but all were so expensive that day, $32 per entry. Understandable la, because people with full costumes get to go in for free. Just when we couldn't decide where to go, an angel(she dressed up as an angel) came to us and asked if we wanted to enter Le Noir for free. Of course we said YES! Thank you angel! haha.
Got ourselves "stamp-ed".

The size of the club is exactly what is shown in the picture.

To our surprise, the club is really small. There isn't a proper dancefloor, anywhere with space is the dancefloor.
Some random guy came and took a picture with us.


Ordered a bottle of Heineken 


Left Le Noir as there was nothing much to see and we went to Hooters for supper!
Ordered the Hot and Samurai flavour.
Both Yin Mei and I loved the Samurai flavour. Tasted abit like Teriyaki sauce. As for the Hot flavour, not that yummy. A little spicy and sour. They probably added lime to it.

Curly Fries
I think it would taste really great if the fries were hot and crispy. A little disappointed and still must pay $1.90 for the cheese dip.


Yin Mei kept getting distracted by the mask behind me. lols


Don't know why I've such a fair skintone here. Big contrast in both pictures. hahaha

Free beers
A waiter suddenly came to our table with two glasses of beer and said it was from another table. Both Yin Mei and I were shocked. My first time being treated a drink by strangers. lols. FML. Showed our appreciation by going over to the table and toast a drink with them. It was a big group consisting youth and old, men and women. So still okay la. Though it would be best if it was from a group of hunks. LOLS!! 

One of them even came over to our table insisting to refill the beer for us. Got free beer still plus refill. But I think the credit goes to Yin Mei because she was the one facing that table whereas I was back facing them. So it's either Yin Mei is too attractive to make them share their beer or I'm a "背"多分 which means I totally have a killer back. If it is the latter, well, seriously FML. LOLS. I'll rather give the credit to Yin Mei.

Number was blurred out due to privacy
This is one more reason why I give the credit to Yin Mei. She must be thinking, "wtf", if she is reading this. LOLS. Before the the group left the restaurant, one of the guys actually came up to us and self-introduced himself that they are from Resort World Singapore. He asked if he could have our numbers to keep in touch. Both of us were like, "uhh......" because he was old enough to be our father. (Now you know why I give the credit to Yin Mei. wahahahaha.).

He wrote down his handphone number for us instead. I actually wanted to ask him was the number meant for us to call him because he has a job to offer at Resort World. How desperate I am for a job. But he was being dragged away by his colleague before I could raise the question. I sincerely hope that it was the reason that he gave us his number and not due to something else because it would be gross. You get what I mean.


Tried to take a picture outside Hooters and we got interrupted by quite a few different people in costumes who came over to "scare" us while we were camwhoring.

With flash

Look so much better without flash

After camwhoring, three guys walked up and engaged in a conversation with us. I wondered what was happening that day. We were suddenly such a hot stuff. LOLS!! Ok la, I'm not that ignorant, I do know clearly that it was mainly because there were only two of us, they thought that we were easy to prey on. Damn it. What a chain of events for the night!


I believe next year's Halloween will be even better because most likely I will get a job by then (hopefully!!) and I will try attending as much Halloween events as possible. I want to try doing a Halloween makeup!! While I can't compete with other girls who dressed up looking sexy and cutesy, I will do a terrifying one to scare away all the hunks from these girls!! wahahahaha.

You have probably seen this at Uss Halloween horror night, but I really like how this youtuber did her neck by painting the "bone" as well. Look really cool and scary isn't it??!! This video is in foreign language but you just need to watch and see how she do it. If I were to do this for Halloween, it would be the most awkward moment where most people will want and queue to take a picture with me because I wouldn't get so much attention as this when I'm using my real or nicely makeup face. fml. lols.


Alright, gonna end the post with a funny picture.
"A squirrel presents a macabre sight while toying with this skull which was put up as a Halloween decoration in a garden in Fareham, Hants."

I saw someone retweeted this and I thought it is funny!!  Was shocked when I first saw this picture but after reading the paragraph, I laughed.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
