Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Alright. I shall update my happenings for the past few days.

20/08/2004
My Friday
Took 1/2 day leave from work. Woohoo... I was pretty happy cos i had been surfing the net in the office for the past 2 days. But when I was supposed to leave during lunch hr, Brenda gave me some quotations to ask me to update to the PC. It was quite alot but she said I could take my time. Cool. I am really taking my own sweet time to do now. No rushing. Hehe.

Well, the leave I took was because I got an interview with a kindergarden at Punggol North. I want to be a teacher? Uh huh, not really. But not sure what went into my mind that make me keep looking for a lookout for the position of a teacher in the newspapers. Anyway, talking about my interview. I got down at the wrong bus-stop. Suppose to get down at Punggol but I got down at Seng Kang. All becos of an ECON Minimart. When I called up the kindergarden to ask for the direction to the school, the teacher or whoever told me to take bus 83 & get down the bus once I see an ECON MInimart. Ok. ECON Minimart then. I saw one when the bus reached Compassvale. I was still hesitating to get down or not & hence I called up the school again & asked. She said yes. See ECON MInimart you must get down & cross the road. Alright. I did as she told. I got down. Crossed the road. I don't see BLK 105D. They were all BLK no. 200 plus & I saw Compassvale Pri Sch. Fine. I thought it may be further down the street, so I continued walking till I saw Rivervale Mall. I still couldn't find & I was already perspiring like don't know what. The sun was so blazing. How I hope I had a sunglass at that point of time. Haha. I called the school again. I guessed the girl who answered the call must have find me irritating cos I keep calling & she kept telling me to faster cos her boss gng for interview. Shortly, I managed to board another bus 83 & got down at the right bus-stop. Phew.

Punggol is pretty deserted. Like so "wu lu wu lu". Lol. I crossed the road & I finally found e kindergarden. Went in, filled up the empoyment application form & met the big boss. We had a pretty long interview. She said my faculty of studies in poly don't telly with the job scope of being a teacher. I agreed. We really had a long conversation. Talking about being a teacher, life goals & achievements & blah blah blah. She was a nice lady. She gave me some really wonderful advices. She said "Do not job-switch too much that is completely out of what you are currenty doing." I find it quite true. You may not be able to adapt & if you really regret, it will be quite hard to you to make a U-turn. She said she enjoyed talking to me & she said she found me as a very postive person. I know my goals & ambition & I got my sense of direction of what I want. Well, seriously, I was thinking in my heart, "Do I?" But I am happy with the way I presented my interviews and views to her. She also said she could see that I am a more biz person. Before that, I told her frankly that I wanted to study & she said she knew that I wouldn't stay long even if I really become one of their teachers. She said this may hurt the children's feelings as they would feel sad & a kindergarden that has a high teachers turnover rate doesn't reflect well on the kindergarden itself in the pre-sch industry. She said she can offer me relief teaching but not as a real full time teacher with them. Not sure what happened, but after the interview with her I am more sure of what I want. I don't want to be a teacher for long & even if I really wanna be one, it will not be a pre-sch teacher. I want to get myself more established & with more knowledge in the biz world. Pursing a degree in biz is undoubtful for me.

It was pouring really heavily after my interview. It created a chance for me to use my newly bought Espirit umbrella. Haha. But the rain was really big. Either the umbrella is too small or I am too big, I got drenched. Waited awhile at a nearby shelter near the kindergarden. Feel so pathetic. LOl. Rain got smaller & I took bus 82 & i got home. Rested awhile, washed my face, ate something & touched up my make-up.

Meeting Sher at Bugis Mrt Station at 4. I was late though. Guess i reached at about 4.20-4.30pm or so. Heh. We went Swensens for ice-cream. 5 scopes of ice-cream only cost you $1.39! After service charge & GST, it is only $1.60! So damn cheap! We were so happy! Haha... But the flavours were quite limited for us to choose from cos all had finished by the time we went. But nvm. The ice-cream was nice. Hee. We chatted quite abit. Tok about sch, friends & update on the happenings ard us. After that, we walked to Clark Quay cos Sher said she felt like chilling out at Brewreks. It was alright with me but just that I don't really feel like drinking & I seldom drink. Yup. We walked there. I insisted. Don't wanna waste bus or mrt fare. It is so expensive now as we no longer can buy the student concession stamps. Along the way, we settled at Funan the IT Mall for our dinner. The food court. I ate ban mian & she ate yong tao foo. She ate really little. I feel like a big eater with her. Haha. One thing i don't like about the food court is that the guys working at the stalls keep staring at us. As if they never see girls before. Should be pretty girls, to be more precise. Haha. Ok. Dinner done. We went to Brewreks. It was full. Sher worked there before & she knew the people there lar. So we jointed down our names & once they had vacant seats, they would call us. During the waiting part, we took some pictures using my digital camera. I think I looked terrible. Sleepy look & my face colour didn't look well that night. Very shortly, Brewreks called & said we got a table. Ok. We went. Take two sips of ice water. Looked at the menu. Nothing seemed to fancy us. We decided to leave but feel abit paiseh lar. But we didn't really care. Sher just told the waitress that we were not ordering anything & we were leaving. The waitress looked speechless & said, "Oh, It is ok." Of cos you have to say ok. I am not gng to stay there. Haha. So we walked down the Clark Quay street, Sher wanted to show me to the lesbians pub (i forget the name le) but it was like only 9pm. Too early for them to hang out. No where to go & so we went home. Had quite enjoyed myself. But Sher did something that really surprised me. But I am not gng to say it here. Other than that, we clique quite well. =)

My Saturday
Saturday is always a good day to sleep. Hee. I slept till 10 plus or 11 in the morning. Can't remember the exact timing. I never really slept very long cos I slept late but at least I don't have to wake up at 7 in the morning. Grinz. =p Nothing much. Woke up. Ate "brunch". Read newspapers. Watch some TV. Slack around. Head to the gym. Back. Got a new student for tuition. Primary 1 boy. He is pretty cute. Heh. Went for tuition at 7pm. Luckily dad fetched me or else I would be like too lazy to walk to the boy's house. Had my dinner at 9pm. Watch Tv again. Read Cleo. Online. Back to my beauty sleep! =)

My Sunday
Suppose to meet up with Emily but she fell sick. Got a bad sore throat. Poor girl. Ok. I was at home the whole day except in the evening I went to Hougang Mall to buy KFC with my dad. Haha. Watched SCV, read & onlining. Yup. That was my Sunday. Heh.

This is a super long entry. Haha.
