Haha... Lots of things going on this December. Well, okay, it's always alot of things going on Decemeber.
Time really flies! It's gonna be the last day of this year in 1 day time...
Okay, haven't been blogging so it's gonna be long! I'll just write about my belated birthday celebrations and christmas and my new found job! Hee!
16th December, Belated Birthday
Well, most of my friends are busy on the actual day, so no choice. Well, at least there is a belated one! Hee...
So, we just went for dinner at Raffles City Shopping Center's Menotti cafe & bar. The place really serves alot of WINES!!! But, we didn't order it.
Got a really important call while looking at the menu, so I just walked out of the place and hid behind the Christmas tree to chat. Well, it's Dave, because I wrote him an email to give me advise on looking for jobs. That's how I end up in this current company. It's either I wait and learn or I go get experience and learn. It kinda helped me to made the decision. Will talk about this in the later part.
Okay, so they last min bought a cool jacket for me! Haha... and the person wrap till like 'Ba Gua'. It's just so nice that I for sure won't put in office one! Haha... then good thing, got a small bag as well. Hehe... but good ah! No need to buy new jacket or small bag le!
Woo hoo! Thanks guys for the great meal! After that, took 'a name card' from the them. And, I ended up with 3 cards... They have different branches with different names, Ricciotti, Garibaldi and Menotti. It's all so hard to pronounce...
Went to walk around a bit after dinner. Then, headed down to Gras to have a drink and to look for Nadia(Bin's gf). She gave me a Butterfly necklace! I hardly receive any jewelry gifts these days. Yeah!
Well, I guess I ate too much... Gastric is acting up again. So, I sorta empty my tummy a little by vomitting... Argh. Then went down to 7 eleven to buy lemon slices which mum says it's good for gastric. Haha... feeling much better after that. The Genius Duck and Bin wanted to make me drink till I puke... But ended up they got drunk... Because they drank far too fast! Because of my gastric, I didn't drink much though. Haha... Phew! =p
So, took a cab back and that's all for the day.
17th December, Disturbing (Oops)
Wanted to call her one... But my phone's kinda suddenly gone dead... So, I just knocked on her house door...
Stayed over her house in the end... Haha... Oops... Pai seh...
Well, I actually wanted to go there and just get the earring making things. I sorta wanted to try earning some side money before I found a job. But end up, I didn't have any idea on the designs and I'm kinda lazy... argh... But luckily, I did found a job soon enough. Phew!
Hee! Jewl gave me a bag for my birthday!!! I so so so needed and wanted it!!! Finally I have a new bag!!!!
Hehe... Jewl should be back by now from her France trip. Sure hope she had a good time! Can't wait to see the photos leh!!!! Dun know how's Christmas like there...
21st December, Random Shopping
Whoa... I've spent alot this day... Went out to buy undergarments, so asked Diana out to shop around.
And, I spent 180 dollars... Argh... Well, got Tangs' membership card. Got a free pair of earrings as well. They are giving out free roses outside Tangs as well. Haha...
Went to Chinatown Square to look for a robot. And we just saw this robot saved from a burnt down house which looks really unique. There are other robots that are cool but, that one is just really unique.
Hmm... Haha... On the train, we kinda can't stop thinking about money. Well, because we overspent. So, it's like, STRESS!!!
After that, went to meet up with Jiao to get Fang-er's present! But we keep getting distracted... Shop shop! Haha... Also went to test the food of the restaurant where we celebrated Fang-er's birthday!
22th December, Cousins gathering
After such a long time, me and my cousins finally met up! So, we went to Global Sounds Cafe (introduced by Jewl) to snack and chit chat.
Okay, one thing pretty bad is the food is kinda oily. Not much variety though. But music is soothing and ambience is pretty good! And there are drums for you to play as well! Other instruments are available too!
Only after we finished our food then we realized that the boardgames are only allowed on the 3rd level. Lazy to walk up, so just stay there and chit chat all the way! Get to see photos they took when they went for their backpacking trip at New Zealand. Lots of movies' scene are there!!! Most of it, are Lord of the Ring! Saw a photo which looked like one of the scenes in Stardust as well.
Hee... Another birthday present! It's a watch! Just right, can use!!!! But, it's kinda heavy... I can really train up my wrist muscles! Got a abalone necklace as well! And my favourite, nice tasting, vinegar flavoured potato chips from New Zealand!!!
24th December, Christmas Eve
Okay, so started out with afternoon, which is the time I usually wake up...
Went down to my current company to look around and sorta interview. I woke up really late. So, I forgot to check the address... Bad... Hehe... I ended up calling Enki-chan to ask for directions not once, but twice!!!
Once I walked to the front door, the admin was about to leave, so lucky! She opened the door for me. Well, the door needs a card to tap and open it and the washroom needs a key to enter as well. Then, waited for the boss to come back. He went to but food for the company! Then chatted with him for a while. After that, he passed me a textbook of how to use Maya and I asked for a DVD as well... Left after that.
So messaged my dad and called Enki-chan! Hee... Managed to get Enki-chan to come out and accompany me!!! Yeah!
Reached City Hall first, so went up to Swatch and tried to change the watch. Didn't managed to change it. Well, first, I don't have the reciept. Secondly, the other designs don't look as nice and are either equally heavy or even heavier. So, end up not changing.
Okay, then Enki-chan reach le! Gave her a 3-in-1 present! Hee... It's a Christmas, New Year and Birthday present! She got me lego type photo frames which I can store toys inside!!! Yeah! more motivated to buy toys... Haha... Well, can start small. After that, if I got my own home, gotta put those display cabinets and pose the toys! The one in CSC looks really nice, the shop right before the escalator.
Then went off to Soup Restaurant to grab dinner! Bad... I've got no cash, so she treated me... Hee... Well, wanted to get cash, but, the 2 ATM location nearest to the train station are both renovating... Argh... So must treat her once I got my pay!!! Hee!!!
After that, wanted to buy a Power Ranger cake for Fang-er... But then, it's all sold out... So went to TCC to buy a cake. Well, it's Christmas, so they gave me a white candle, which isn't really suitable for birthdays...
Well, out of time to think, so just went ahead with it. Hehe... Dun even have lighter. But thanks to the friendly staff at the restaurant, they managed to find a lighter for us to light and helped us took photo as well. It's a Japanese Pasta Restaurant newly opened right at the corner, beside Asian Kitchen.
After the dinner, 4 guys left first to shop for clothes! Whoa! Well, the rest of us walked to Suntec and leave our things in our friend's car. Then off to the Cinema... Well, dun really feel like watching a show, ended up we played at the arcade instead.
Then, went to Global Sounds cafe again to chill... Well, since, Chinatown is slightly off town, so it's not that crowded...
It's so hard to get a cab! Even when I'm standing in the middle of the road! It's like me and Fang-er wave like mad for probably more than half an hour... Well, lots of drunk people around... And, it's either the cab is hired or it suddenly got on-call. Luckily, there's a cab that's headed to Jurong to change shift, then we managed to get a cab home...
25th December, Christmas
Hee... Hanging around Chinatown with Enki-Chan! Well, she's looking for a clover bracelet but it's sold out. The person sorta mistaken the design, so, it's kinda like, came all the way here and still couldn't get it...
Went to grab a bite. Haha... I'm really bad, I'm late because I ate breakfast... Then she haven't ate anything since morning. So, went into OG and there's a Chinese cafe. So, just ate there.
Then, we shopped! It's so so so long since I last walked around at Chinatown. In terms of shopping though. Haven't been to People's Park Complex since it renovated! Hehe... Bought some clothes there!
Well, after that, had dessert at the market. Well, it's pretty hot so it's kinda nice to have something cooling...
Haha... Enki-chan made me bought a dress!!! She bought 1 too! Hehe... But I dun know when I can wear it. Haha... Ah!!!
Then she left for dinner and I went back home...
26th December, Family Outing
Went to Chinatown again, with my family. Well, it's like, just walk around, nothing much. There's my sister, 6 years old, so, she's kinda very naughty... Then, my parents will get frustrated... So, indirectly, I dun feel so good as well...
At least, managed to walk around a bit... It's only when we are almost leaving then we found the temporary market. Haha... Kinda confusing here, there are really lots of good food and markets in Chinatown. Well, this one is renovating, so everything is shifted to the temp container type market. Then, finally Mum found my sister's new year clothes.
That's her plan, buy clothes first, then pack up the house! Okay, then we had dinner and left the place. It's so long ago that the whole family is out for such a long time.
27th December, First Day of Work
Currently, the company that I'm working for is Sparky. Well, I have been constantly warned that the work there are pretty harsh! So, must always remember! Be a Ninja! It's part of the Commando training! Haha... Something like that.
Okay, so it's the first time taking bus there... Ahh!!!! I'm lost! I think I missed the stop! And so I alighted... To find that I'm at the exact right bus stop... Phew! It's like, from phone call, interview and now this, fate... Hmm... That's what they call it?
I didn't know if I'm suppose to work because I didn't receive any phone call... Well, but I just went down just in case. I only know I have to reach there by 11am... Haha... Yup! The timing there is pretty flexible.
Alot of keys!!! And suddenly, have to remember a few more accounts and password. There's a user log-in, chat system, forum, and intra net... Then, have to tap the card to get in the office. The toilet is outside and gotta get the key to unlock the door as well... And a wooden door for the first and the last person to come or leave the place to open. Well, most likely, not me! Hee...
Sorta of find myself learning much faster. It's first day of work, and I have never touched Maya before. I'm a Max user and then I sorta gotta convert to Maya. Hopefully I can remember and work well in both softwares...
I guess it's sorta like I'm forced to. If I can't finish, I have to put in extra time and effort to finish things up. So, first day already, I'm given the task of modelling simple props. It's kinda good because it sorta makes me practice and familiarize with the software faster...
I'm still pretty amazed by the people there. They had early lunch and some of them can just skip dinner after that. Well, early lunch as in, they finish lunch before 1pm... So, for the first day, I was kinda starving and freezing...
Woke up really late, so I was rushing about, forgot to bring my sweater... I've been shaking for the whole day. Haha... First day of work, I was there for around 12 hours... It's really freezing and I kinda scared my fingers will fall out... Well, but I did break my thumb nail though...
So for now, I guess I'll just be in the company for a year or 2. It's really far from my house, but fortunately, boss is gonna book a shuttle bus to the company! Hee... Well, there are lots of people staying in the west, so most likely there'll be a bus! Hope it'll start soon!
But of course, in the office sometimes will still have the 'sian' feeling... Because there isn't much variety of food or places to eat there. Like dinner, there isn't any place nearby that is opened till that late. And most of the time, it's take away food... Well, okay, at least there is 2 monitors, so I won't be staring at 1 only... Haha... Doesn't make much of a different though...
Argh... Kinda miss texturing and painting... Well, for now, didn't get to do these things. It's mostly modelling and modelling... Hmm... I do get to improve my modelling skills though. But I wanna texture too... Sorta feel, this company, it's sorta like really just work. So far, haven't heard of any movie sessions or things like coffee sessions to take a break or something like that... And my com dun have an access to internet... Have to use another com to access... Argh...
On my way home, met Dave and his wife at the bus station. So updated him about the day and chatted with them. Haha... I'm starving...
29th December, Current
Well, it's a Sat, but I'm back at the office working... I'm still left with 1 prop to edit... Argh... Well, I guess I'll do so on Mon. Hopefully I can make it. Then after that, have to tweak tweak again.
Oh ya, so, Mon's the last day of the year! Haha... So I guess have to work fast and hard!
Well, I guess I'm slowly getting use to it there... Brought and left a jacket there as well as some cookies and cereal bars and a mug as well... Haha... Well, first day of work is pretty unprepared for the conditions. Well, because it's cold, so I tend to get thirsty more often.
Ouch! I think I just have to buy a new pair of shoes! My feet are peeling already... I actually cut away the strips of the sandals at the back... I thought it's seasoned, but in the end, painful!!!
Haha... Tiring... But really, December is kinda exciting afterall! Well, but somehow, I did lost a good friend... Argh...
Whoa... I type for so long...
Oh ya, did I mention, I saw a good looking guy on my way home! Keke...
