Woes of daily train commuters

안녕하세요!

Been awhile since I had fever and I had to have it just one night before I report to work for the first day. Really is suay one leh. Still had to drag myself out of the bed early in a Monday morning to get to work. Since it's the first day I will ususally be exceptionally early because it's not good to be late what!

Work is still boring because it's only the start. But thw environment wise is quite similar to intern time? Let's just say it's a MNC kind of environment. Like you will have to attend orientations, go through a lot of trainings, having mentor, access accounts, systems/softwares and etc. However it's almost a all lady environment. There's only one guy in my team and other than him is my boss boss senior director who's an Ang moh. haha! So I only hope I don't get involve in any politics. Though it's only the third day I can sense things going on in my team. Sensitive, but I'm right okay! Haha. *keeping my fingers crossed that I won't be involve*

Nothing special about work but there's drama daily while travelling to work or going back home. I really don't understand like what is happening. First day when I'm going home got stuck in a traffic jam because I decide to take bus home then there's this pregnant lady who decides to like cut my queue and go up the bus then she shove her belly right infront of those sitting down. But everyone's either asleep or busy using phone. So they didn't give up seat, until the lady who's using the phone looks up and gave up her seat. Lol! Morning, I saw this aunty/lady (I cannot decide because she looks like Aunty but dress like lady) asked a Bangala who's sitting beside her to lower the volume of his music. He is on earpiece and I can't hear his music though. Like what on earth? Idk if this is lady just dislike bangalas or what. Second day when I'm on my way home there's this Aunty really Aunty! She insist on reading her newspaper on a crowded train. She didn't hold on to any railing and instead she keep bumping into me and open the newspaper big beside her that took up like 1 standing space?! Like what?! It's so crowded leh! Then there's the indian guy who got up from his seat trying to get down but that Aunty block his way just because she wants to sit down! LOL! The indian guy stared at her but she insist on her way. After sitting down, she sat like half of the seat and continue to open her newspaper wide! Really bth! Where got such people one? Then when the train is less crowded she decides to keep her newspaper and play her phone! What is this?! Choose to be stupid. I told dear I hope she cannot read newspaper for 3 weeks and I won't want to see her again or else I will confiscate the newspaper. Today I saw this pregnant lady (I think) at first there's this lady who alighted then a china guy sat on the seat like without even offering the pregnant lady. Then there's another vacant seat and another lady with completely flat tummy sat down. Zzz. Aiyo! Unbecoming world. That poor pregnant lady had to like stand all the way. Aiyo. Then while taking the NE line I nearly pass my stop all because of another Aunty! She's like leaning against the pole then keep pushing me. Idk what is wrong with her. Aiyo! Like no hand to hold the pole must lean. She lean still cannot find balance keep bumping into me. Zzz.

I really think I'm some 天敌 to Aunty! Bless me please my workplace is full of Aunty! Alright end of lunch time. Back to being bored. Am having my first class for second sem tonight. I hope I won't be overtired!

Does it make sense?

안녕하세요!

My books for my second semester arrived on Tuesday! Oh god. There's like lots of thick books. I really don't like the idea of having thick books, though I don't really bring them to school for lessons. My iPad is sufficient for my lessons. Hahaha. Feeling a bit of eggcited to have school start though I know I will be super exhausted. Anyway, I woke up at like 8 plus because they sent an email to me saying that their arrival time will be 9am. So stupid. They only arrived like 5 mins before 1pm. Had to make the trouble to call school and got DHL number because I'm suppose to go to main office to sign my contract at 2pm.

Though I reached there before 2pm, I got stuck at the stupid lift. Because our building requires us to tap our card even when we enter the lift. Zzz. Like some top secret building like that. Then my stupid visitor card didn't work! Had to get the security to make a change. But he still like taking his own sweet time like that when I say I'm rushing for time! 진자! Spent an hour chatting with Teena about work stuffs and then home!

Wednesday I finally remember to go for my tuition. Omg. I cannot express how forgetful I am to actually forget about tuition like literally twice! But the parents very nice one, super flexible and say never mind. Hahaha. Then dinner date with VDP at Ichiban Boshi in CWP. Talked about everything and anything while indulging in the sushi feast!

I don't even know how I always manage to chat with people I don't even meet frequently but yet have so much to say. I guess it's really a best friend kind of thing. I don't really feel awkward meeting and we can have endless to chat. From their relationship problems, to recent problems, to family problem and to anything. Haha. Cheers to such great companion always! I think the next time we meet will be like for her birthday celebration!

Oh yes! I don't get why my company will ask Shanghai office people to keep contacting me! Now they even want to contact my referee and make them answer the calls from overseas!
진자! Like "You mad bro?" Got a bit worked up that I sort of confront the guy who keeps calling from Shanghai, though he's only receiving orders to work! But seriously, it doesn't make sense that I'm expecting my referees to answer all those overseas call and paying the bills when I'm the one who wanted the job and not them? Does it make sense?
I hope I don't get affected by this because I'm starting work next week. I hope Teena helps to solve this problem!

Finally meeting Adeva for brunch tomorrow! Yay to more girls talk and I hope we don't be awkward because it's really long since.

Dawn of the.. Planet.. of the Apes!

안녕하세요!

Watch Dawn of the planet of the apes today with WH. It's too draggy and find the story is a bit of nowhere? Maybe I just don't get the director's pov. It's like jumping here and there? But the take from this whole story will be anyone can betray or hurt you. Anyone, no matter who. When they have the vengeance in them, it's gone. How disappointing it is huh.

Saw some of the trailers before the movie, so many nice movies coming out when I'm not gonna have much free time starting from next week. OMG. Starting work and school at the same time next week. Embracing myself. *pull legs and hugs myself* I want to watch 7500, Deliver us from devil, Guardians of the galaxy and Hercules!

Had lunch at Shin Kushiya in Jem. They are like having some promotion that's like if you order 2 set lunch(?) one set will be 50% off. Honestly their sets are really impressive. We ordered an extra maki roll and I miss Sushi bar's! Not as wow as compared to Sushi bar but can make do. Haha.


Wanted to dine in at Itacho, but it's the first day of their renovation for the Jcube branch. What a luck! Zzzz. Gonna have all the good food before I start my war next week! Gonna be receiving my books tomorrow, then going to office to sign contract. Wednesday will be tuition and meeting VDP for dinner. Friday brunch I will meet with Adeva! It's been long since I last seen her. OMG. I hope we have a really good catch up because after this idk when will be the next time I see her after she heads back to Canada on 2nd Aug!

Cheers to a great yet busy week and the juggle of school, work and tuition for the next 1 year(at least)!

I can buy my favourite camera without worrying with my own money! Let's do it!

Whole new level of maturity

안녕하세요!

저는 Elaine에요. 오렌만이에요! 잘 진했어요?

Hahaha! As you can see I'm trying hard to learn 한국어. I don't want to depend on google translation anymore, because most of the time it's a bit of in chaos. LOL. It's been a month since I last updated this tiny space that I wonder if there's anyone who's still reading this page. Hahaha.

I've been busy trying to catch up with all my drama shows, variety shows before I start to work again. Yes, if you haven't already know, I've gotten myself a full-time job yet again. I know after my previous full-time work I've been saying that I do not want to have a full time anymore while studying, but I realise that it's really a bit of hard. Because during this 4 months of not working life, I feel like I'm a parasite. LOL. Excluding the 2 months that I'm basically mugging hard for my exams. I've cleared like A LOT of shows during the 2 months of break I'm having. I find that my life is so mundane. Like my friends are all working or studying, but I'm the only one who's playing. Hahaha. FML. I guess this is the down side and having to be able to support myself previously and now I'm getting allowance from Papa Eng again. (Although he's always so supportive of me not getting work and be more focus on my studies, I feel weird myself) "Is this a whole new level of maturity?" Hahahaha!

Ever since my exams, I've really been playing hard. Let's see.

-Malacca trip with Mama Eng and Brother Eng
-Watch dramas
-Read books
-Working part-time
-Teaching tuition
-Getting my results back
-Durian day-trip to Malaysia
-Meet up with Gdine and Weihao
-Meet up with JY
-Meet up with Buddy
-Farewell party with intern colleagues
-Treetop walk and Sentosa with LDR colleagues
-Dinner with intern colleague
-Dinner with my 好朋友s
-Paintwork in the house
-Dental
-Celebration with the family (Brother Eng's bday)

The different events I had since school's and work's out! Then I'm getting a lil bit of tired, and so I got myself a job. LOL. They pay well too, so why not?

Okay I have nothing much to say anymore. I will update more about my work if there's anything worth blogging. Heee.
