its been a long while since i last blogged. things r pretty much the same. although i have to admit i m more attached to UPS. n with e arrival of e new permanant staff Su Shan i have someone to hang out n chat with during lunch breaks.. when we hang out at eastpoint or someplace else. she's like so damn innocent n farnie. e telephone extension thingy when siu wai called was jus one of e kind. i dont wanna feel so emotionally tied to UPS. cos unlike guardian its only temp. which means tat i have to leave at e end of feb. starting to miss it already. i miss e bus rides in e morn with siu wai. n now tat i moved to sit beside her i'm literally closer to her. i'll miss pcm. miss doing NDAs, internal courier, weekly cash balances, FX, filing, trade n network settlements, BG guarantees.. even refiling e water for em n stoning there like kerazy. u wont know how it feels unless u experience it. n besides tat siu wai's taking a 2 week long break from e 10 Feb to 26 Feb. so i'm gonna have to miss her even more. how very sad =(

todays marks e one mnth anniversary of e end of As.. and it seems so long ago..
Jeff Buckley's 'hallelujah' playing over e speakers of my laptop and soothing a tired soul..
one mnth has passed.
one mnth working in guardian..
3 weeks in UPS. 3 weeks with the once-5-strangers kristie (from tpjc), siu wai (e daphne look-a-like), serene, carol and kelvin.
went to parkway's crystal jade to eat lunch wif em. still cant seem to mingle wif em. always feeling 'left-out' and 'not-belonging'.
had e meeting on fri in which everybody exchanged gifts except me (who was oblivious to it)
carol, kristie and siuwai gave me stuff. appreciate it. had a celebration for siuwai's bday in e office (in which we ate e CHOCZ tiramisu bday cake and switched off all e office lights to create e atmosphere).
sometimes things r nv meant to be. so i'll jus have to take things in my stride and stay strong despite e sometimes overwhelming sense of not-belonging.
vanessa, do get well kays? hope everything's fine tml. which i think it will be.
stay strong. if we had so many things common.. like e preferences for songs and television and stuff u can be as strong as me too! not tat i'm strong or anything.. but i'm just sweet talking here. i'll be there for u to support u (wif pom poms if need be). so.. rest assured n know u're not alone. with all those words of encouragement and support i'm guessing u'd have teared a little by now. -ur fren-

today i had my interview wif ups after meeting weilin in sch n passing her my choir gown.
INTERVIEW
i stood up to shake hands wif e vice pres n pres of e treasury dept in ups after e person frm e HR dept led me to e board room. i smiled throughout e interview to show sincerity. n partly becos e lady kept checking me out n smiling at me. the guy asks me to intro myself.. in which i crap 'i went to chongzheng primary n then temasek secondary n then tampines jc..' which was utter nonsense n crap. the guy looks at e profile tat recruit express sent em n asks wads e MAS essay writing competition abt. i jus illustrated. he asks me abt my job experience. i told em i haven dont any admin stuff b4. but i work in gdian.. n then i told em all abt gdian n its job scope. lady tells me tat e job in ups is very fast paced n guy tells me abt it.they asked me abt my com skills. told em i frequently use microsoft word n powerpoint but rarely excel n tat i was going to rise up to e challenge n master e skills (crap again). lady asks me whether i m sporty. i said not really n was taken aback. she told me tat i joined vball. but she didn't know tat i quit vball after a yr cos i'm nt tat sporty. guy comments tat i joined choir. guy tells me tat there r other 4 potential candidates but they'll only choose one for e position.guy n lady ask if there's any qns i wanna ask or anything impt i wanna bring across. so i gave my most crappy statement : i m really interested to join this company because i wanna gain experience in admin work. n UPS is an established company globally.. lady says 'very good'. frm then onwards i basically knew i'd nail it. in gdian budget, bryan called telling me tat they'd finish e interviews n tat i'm their 1st choice. mins later i'm told to start work on mon n he sent me further details..
when i told my sis abt e interview, she was like LOL. nobody does his/her interview this way. but i nailed it. with my own way. sherlyn's style.

bio is officially stoopid! studied so much and those tat i memorised n focused on did not came out.. like events leading to fertilisation for plant n humans for instance. HMPH!. n i was so happy something (like finally..) on humans came out (one pathetic qns 3) n i wrote like essay long ans although it was jus structured. so end up i only had 5-10 mins for e 1st structured qns. (gd thing i managed to finish it, if not i will jus kill myself for that) n then for e essay on seed dormancy.. it was jus pure recap n crap.. especially for e part b.. i was finding examples to substantiate instead of giving logical points. wateva. its over. n there goes my A for bio (hopefully not) jus hafta try to score like fantastic grades for paper 1 tats all. like at least 35/40? haha!..

thank God! chem paper 1 was EASY! in fact many qns came out frm e tys. n i only started doing tys like today itself. but most of e qns tat came out were wad i did b4. n those tat came out from e tys but i didn't do, i still gt it correct! Yayness! i finished in 45 mins which left me 15 mins to check. in which i spotted one mistake n corrected it. it one abt bromine and aqueous sodium chloride with ethene. yup. changed it to D. qns 21. so anyways chem is officially over n now i'm left wif bio. mrs gay jus gave like 200 odd bio students 'early xmas gifts' of wat might come out in e bio paper 3 essays. which is like 26 pages total.lets say each page costs 5 cents, per person wud be $1.30 n for e whole bio cohort it wud b like.. 200+ bucks wow! n even if e teachers share it wud b more than 50 per teacher. how generous! all e more i shud start mugging hard for bio! yeah! 6 days left!
