=(

Just had a chat with my brother about the different courses to take. He said NTU is not really good. The people there are either very slack or very toot. =x Not really suitable. And i told him i want to take Maths in the university. He straightaway said 'CRAZY AH! Take maths alone wont give you any prospects! Don't be stupid! I took some elective courses in that School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences but it's damn boring and keep doing stupid stuff. You want to be a statistician? Not many companies will need such people. Do business or accountancy is better! When you got a degree already, the economy will be better on track and will be able to have higher pay and all that. Or go NIE. Do business or accountancy and then spend another year in NIE, so total 4 years. Also, SMU's business courses are better than those in NTU. Business is very easy to pass too.'

Well, he's from there so he knows roughly everything. I'm confused and kind of influenced by him. HOW HOW HOW? Results are coming out and i have to make a decision soon! OMG! To choose between interest or better pay and prospects in the future?? I don't want to spend 3 or 4 years doing something i don't like. I don't really like economics and stuff. Okay, maybe because i'm bad at it. AHHH! I need to go to my new company soon and learn about the accounts and stuff!

Okay. It's all down to my results. Scared.

WOOHOO!!! =D

VIVIAN IS NOW ON THE ROAD! YAY!! =)

Felt really happy when i can get out of the circuit. Really. But nervous too. Got used to it after some time. HAHA! Got the handsome instructor again. LOL! Quite happy. Not really because he is handsome la, but his teaching is not bad. Very patient. Even when i keep making mistakes like stalling the engine when going off and forgetting to release clutch pedal after changing gears, he keeps reminding me. I hope to get him for my subsequent lessons!!! PRAY HARD MAN! =) I don't want the guy who SIGH VERY LOUDLY during my first lesson. Please man.

Well, the second instructor seems quite stern and strict. Quite scared of him at first and throughout the lesson. His voice is very firm. Quite scary. But he is quite patient too. And, THANKS for fetching me home! LOL. Its raining, thats why.


Okay, now its the sad part.

The weekend's over so quickly. YUCKS! And its back to work again. SHITTY. I don't like my job. Seriously. Some of my colleagues may be quite nice, so let's leave that out. The work i'm doing is just so boring. I guess i'm not for admin jobs. There's just 1 word to describe it. BORING. Hopefully my new job will be more fun. Really. If not, i will have to change jobs again. I want to talk and interact with more people. I want to be at the frontdesk. I don't want to get cooped up in the office the whole day. YUCKS.

ARGH!

I am quite disappointed with my tutees. OMG. Primary 4. Secondary 2. Secondary 3. My first impression of them is I thought the primary 4 kid will be the hardest to handle cause he kept fidgeting around and just not concentrating, and the Secondary 3 kid will be the easiest to teach cause he seems very enthusiastic about homework (he asks me to give him homework when i don't even intend to). And, yeah, i kind of expected what will it be like teaching the Sec 2 kid. -.-Well, so i thought he will complete his work by the next lesson. I WAS WRONG! TOTALLY WRONG!

The sec 3 kid didn't take the homework seriously and he said he had no time for it. -.- Only 'FU YAN' me. So i had to give him more time to complete and let him finish some during tuition. Kind of waste time. And his common tests are next week la! Stress! But he's not serious about it. AHH!

The pri 4 kid is quite cute. HAHA! Quite funny too. =D At least he does my homework although he didn't really listen to me when i'm teaching. But well, there's improvement. YAY!

The sec 2 kid is very naughty. The one who fidgets around the most and looks at other things except the work im going through. He said 'don't know' for everything la! WHATEVER!


Well, another 6 more lessons to go and i can decide whether i want to quit or not...............


Anyway, i'm changing job soon! Another 2 weeks to go! Going to clarice's company to take over her. I think i made the right choice to leave. Felt very bored doing the same stuff over and over again. Maybe i can't commit for too long. Maybe i just don't like admin jobs. I need to do something that i like! MATHS!

Oh yea, went to NTU open house on Valentine's Day. Listened to the different talks. I REALLY LIKE MATHS A LOT! Just felt that rush when i was listening to that talk. Different from other talks. LOL. Hopefully will be able to fulfil that.

WOO!

Had 3 practical lessons on Monday. Hmm.. Was quite nervous yet excited about it. But my first instructor gave me a fierce look la! =( When i showed him my reporting slip, he gave a LOUD SIGH!!! WHAT THE... Everyone has their first times right..... First time doesn't mean i will be noob right.. But well, after the 3 lessons, the results show otherwise. =(((( I'm still in the small circuit! VERY VERY SAD! I think i know my mistakes. Like always stalling the engine by releasing the clutch pedal too early when starting the car, hitting the kerb when making left turns, not keeping in my own lane, grabbing the steering wheel too tightly, changing gears accurately(depressing clutch pedal before changing) BLAH BLAH....... I really want and hope to go on the road outside soon......... But first, i must correct my mistakes. My 3rd instructor told me i must respond accurately and quickly to instructors' directions. So FAST REACTION TIME! I must do better next lesson!

Anyway, i hope i get more handsome instructors, like my 2nd and 3rd ones! =D

Frustrated!

Hmm.. I'm still considering whether to take up clarice's place in her company. I am offered to be an accounting intern in the company. Went for an interview yesterday and its all up to me now. Don't know if i should go. The main reason why i want to go there is hopefully, i would be able to learn more stuff about accountancy. Well, i'm still deciding which course to take in the U. So getting more experience in the different areas would be good. AHH! And also, the welfare benefits provided are GOOD! Can go MSN, surf the net, take leave as and when i like, blah blah. Very flexible. And clarice told me her collleagues are very nice!! But precisely because of this flexibility, i think it's kind of SLACK.

Also, I have just familiarised myself with the work and people in my company. Some are fun to be with and whenever they give me work, i kind of know what to do. Now, if i change job next month, i have to familiarise myself with everything again and my colleagues too. It's not that i can't adapt quickly to the working environmentand people, but.. AIYA! FRUSTRATED!

I want to sing that chinese song, 最近比较烦. Not sure if this is the title of the song, but it has this lyric inside. ARGH.


ANYWAY!
having my FIRST practical lesson on monday! hopefully it will be exciting! =)
And.. there's still my final evaluation on that day too. Chiong everything in 1 day. I need strength!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO PEARL!! =D

Went to celebrate her birthday at jp on thursday! Bought a cake then went to LAI LAI restaurant (i think) to have our dinner. The 3 of us were the earliest and we had to wait for the guys to arrive. We got a small white corner to ourselves! Ate the food.. The portion is quite little, but still felt full after the meal. Then we had cake. HAHA this is the interesting part. The waitress just put the cake on the table, without giving us any utensils or plates. We asked her back, and delvin said "Does the restaurant has a service charge? If yes, then can you provide us with the utensils and plates?" LOL. The waitress was obviously BU SHUANG. She came back and said, "Even if our restaurant doesn't have a service charge, i will gladly provide you with the utensils and plates." What the. She could have did it straightaway without us having to tell her we needed those utensils. But the whole thing is quite funny.. HAHA!

We walked around as usual while the guys bought their stuff and played arcade.

Bought Pearl a bag! Hope she likes it!! MUST bring to work OKAY!! =)
Hope you enjoyed the dinner too!


And im feeling lucky!! =P

HellO!!

Completed 1 month of my job! Have another 5 more weeks to go..... still not sure whether to extend.. there's still the loyalty to consider. But, i shall see if there are any jobs which give a better pay and maybe nearer location... Hopefully.

And oh! I finally bought my CLUBS ear-rings after going everywhere possible! It's DAMN FREAKING NICE la! quite expensive though.. 20 bucks! But it's the one thing i bought which i like the most! =)
Hope to find a similar spades ear-rings!

Also, my practicals.. Need to top-up money so as to go for practical lessons. Damn expensive la! $59 for weekdays and $68 for weekdays.. Means i need to take leave if not have to pay $9 more EACH lesson. OUCH! expensive expensive!
