Okay, today is the collection of our O Level results.

My mood now: SUPER NERVOUS!

I've told my mum a few days before my plans on what to do after getting my results. Should I pass, I'll just go to whatever courses I'm offered at whichever Polytechnics. If I fail, I'll just go to ITE and maybe take up courses on Office Administration or Mass Communication (that's what Mrs Koh had told me).

Anyway, to all people collecting their results today, ALL THE BEST!

Oh yes, I'll get to see my classmates and schoolmates today again after such a long time!

Oh my god! This Thursday is the release of the O Level results! How am I going to react when I see my results? Anyway, if I pass, I'll just go to whatever course I'm offered. Even if I fail, I'll just head straight to ITE. It's nothing wrong with enrolling into ITE, serious! It's the way how we people view ITE.

*Wish me luck!*

Well, I really enjoyed myself during the Johor Bahru trip! It's was really really very fun as I get to buy 2 magazines (1 with Fahrenheit on the cover & the other one with Lollipop on the cover), the Jay Chou 2008 calendar (the pre-order gift that was to be given) and a 6-piece VCD! I actually wanted to buy more, but then the prices are too steep, so in the end, I just looked around. Anyway, I'll post up a picture which I took during the trip on my next entry.

Note: while chatting with Sheena, she actually told me that Ayumi's new hairstyle is really very nice! Thanks a lot for praising my idol!

Well, I'll be going to Johor Bahru tomorrow with my parents. It's actually a trip with other people, which is my godbrother's family and their friends. If possible, I'll definitely take a few pictures and post it either here or friendster.

To end it off, I shall wish Jay Chou Happy Birthday!

I forgot to mention in yesterday's entry that my computer has since been repaired on 4 January. Indeed, I'm really very forgetful and super clumsy these days, of which I don't know why. *Disappointed*

Anyway, I tagged a few of my friend's blog and wrote a testimonial on friendster for Kartika just now. Sigh, I really miss working with her, now that she's back in Indonesia. *Sob*

I guess I've got nothing else to blog for now already. I've got to go prepare myself for work.

Okay, I must admit that I didn't blog for quite some time already. My last and latest short entry here was 5 January 2008, and now I've decided to blog it all out since I can't get to sleep anyway.

During the time when the computer was down, I didn't quite mug much for my O Levels. Why? Cause I don't think I'll do well. But then anyway, I just flipped through my notes and textbooks and made sure that I memorised the basic facts before entering the exam hall. On the last day of the O Level Science paper 1 (Physics & Chemistry), everyone was sure in the super high mood cause when the Chief Presiding Examiner announced that we put down our writing materials and after the other teachers has collected our papers, everyone cheered very loudly as we went out of the exam hall. FINALLY THERE IS FREEDOM FOR ME!

I really have to thank Jasmine, Keldren, Lu Ping and many others for wishing me happy birthday (be it in sms or my friendster). I had cheesecake for my birthday which my mum had specially ordered from Goodwood Park Hotel (it costs around $60+ after a 20% discount). Thanks mum!

But around a week after my birthday, my grandma (who is my mum's stepmother) passed away at the hospital bed in front of my eyes. During the perios before she passed away, my mum and I have been constantly visiting her at TTSH. And on the day she passed away, I remember that my mum and I just reached home not long ago after coming back from TTSH. Just 10 minutes after I sat down on my parents bed to chit-chat with my mum, my uncle called to say that my grandma's condition is already very critical, and that we have to rush down immediately. About 2 hours later, she passed away very peacefully. But then I cried alot, even on the day her body was to be cremated at Mandai Crematorium. *May she rest in peace* So, as a mark of respect, I ate vegetarian food for 49 days. Only my uncle and I ate vegetarian food cause my mum, dad and elder sister couldn't take vegetarian food for long.

Next up, I began to start working from November 29 onwards. On that day. a few colleagues and I started packing and arranging the stocks (both old and new) in order so that we all can officially start serving customers cause before that, there were too many cartons of boxes blocking the passage way already. From November 29 until December 26, I worked without any day off. Guess what? My pay-cheque was way above what I had aimed for in the previous years! I'm so happy! And I really enjoyed alot during the day we were all very busy, especially during the christmas season! Of course there were some unhappiness between some people ( I shan't mention their names) over work matters. I seriously felt that this matter can be avoided, only if the other party is willing to cool down and think over what she has done wrong. If she's not willing to change, then I'm sure she's going to suffer if she works elsewhere. This is my only piece of advice I can give her, hoping that she'll change for the better. Okay, I shall not talk about this matter again. Instead, I shall continue on what has happened during work. On the day of christmas, we started packing up (including Talking Hall) from 2pm onwards. Even though all of us has packed finished everything and written all the necessary documents that was to be submitted, I can tell that everyone was very tired. But we all felt that all these was worth it as our district manager Celine had treated us to steamboat after that at Beach Road (we had ended around close to 11pm before heading down). I really enjoyed myself alot during the sales period! Really! Oh, I forgot to mention that almost everyday during the sales period, all of us ate bread and drank mineral water for our dinner cause we were too busy to go for dinner then. And I met Jeanette Aw again for the third time during the sales period!

But but but, I'm very sad as I couldn't attend the 4th fan gathering of Elvin Ng. Why did I know about this anyway? Cause when I was clearing my emails (there were more than 4000+ emails during the time when my computer was down), I saw the email notice that there's going to be another fan gathering of Elvin Ng! And only 30 people can attend! *Sob*

And back to this year. A brand new 2008 means a brand new beginning for me again. I still continued to work, though. But I sure got plenty of rest!

On 10 January 2008, Jasmine, Mei Qi & I went to the Nanyang Polytechnic Open House. But it was way too crowded already! Anyway, I was quite shocked by the COP for the Nursing course. During the intake on one of the years, the COP was 28. But now, it gradually went down to 23! Oh my god! What a drastic change! But the COP for the Nursing course at Ngee Ann Polytechnic remains at 28. We went for the talk on the course Hospitality & Resort Management, and the lecturer told us that the COP for this course is 13, and it's the lowest COP for all the Management courses in Nanyang Polytechnic. The moment I heard that, I was taken aback as I hoped to choose this course as one of my 6 choices when I receive my O Level results. Never mind that, as I know I must have confidence in myself (as what most people have told me).

Alright then, I guess this shall be my entry for now. I got to work tomorrow, if not, I don't think I'll be able to wake up. Bye! ^_^
