Ecstasy

*beams widely. :D Guess some of you already know why I'm so happy. Yes! I've finally got a placement! With TTG Asia Media! Wheee!

The even more exhilarating part? I'm offered the Publications position! Yay! So at least I sort of fufill my dream of Journalism. Heh. But she said 'most probably publications', I hope she doesn't change her mind and put me in events in the end. I will die.

I double checked and triple checked with her that I'm confirmed and she was like yes yes yes! Haha. Then I was so excited, I went "Omg! Thank you so much" and she started laughing. Very funny meh?

The details will only be sorted out mid-march so I'm kinda worried. I mean, without a contract and all, it seems some what un-officially confirmed.

The downside to it was that I was actually an hour late for my interview. Don't talk about it anymore. Guess yall know why I was late. I'm determined to kick that horrible "sickness" of mine. Volunteers to assist me in the mission? Heh.

Basically almost all my darlings have gotten a placement already. For me ;TTG Asia Media (Publications/Events), Dele; Acedaytons (Events), Mels; Worldwide (Events), Ryl; Ritz Carlton (Guest Relations Officer), Chy; Ritz Carlton (Front Desk) and Marilyn; Sentosa (F&B). Congratulations my girls. We must have a day out together before the SIP starts yeah? -hugs.

For those still without a confirmed placement, I wish yall, all the best! *p.s. I'm not being sarcastic here. I mean it!

Anyone knows who else is in TTG? Tag me yeah?

The Honey Wall

Good gracious. The weather is so darn warm. I hate feeling warm. I'm cold blooded. Hah! Like hello weatherman, turn on the wind and breeze blaster please. Craving for an ice-cold double scooped Banana and Chocolate Ecstasy from New Zealand's Natural. *drools.

Towning with Beef today. Met Ms. Leong on the way and went to Coffee Club for dinner. Honestly I'm so sick of Coffee Club. Bah. We went in the end for the sake of Ms. Leong. I tried the Coffee Club Burger, it was okay, tad oily though. Ms. Beef Tan is getting her bling bling pay tomorrow so she's feeling rich. That cow wanted to buy so many things, luckily Ms. Andrea stopped her. So in the end, it was just 1 t-shirt. Ms. Tan, if you see this, I want something. You can check my wants list or for something cheaper, ASK me. Hahaha.

Valuair offered me a position today (Thurs) but I didn't accept yet. Told her I will get back to her on Monday. To be precise, I bargained from a Friday dateline (which is now) to a Monday dateline. She seemed rather reluctant though. Hope she keeps a place for me or else, if TTG fails *choy!, I'm dead meat.

I doubt I can sleep tonight. I've got so many things to do. Just completed my Airline Business presentation slides and I still have the French handout and the debate notes to finish. *screams. When is all this work going to end? I'm looking forward to the other side of the honey wall. :(

Wish me luck tomorrow. I'm in need of it. Lady luck hasn't been looking my way. *grumbles. Now, I need a bath. So frigging hot!

p.s. Ms. Stephanie Quek & Ms. Seline Han, we need a threesome soon. I miss the both of you like fuck. Well, not literally. :p

The Sun Sets on Me

Got an impromptu call from Ritz Carlton yesterday. Agnes Thio couldn't make it for my interview on Wednesday as she had to fly off to Jarkarta last minute. For a moment, I thought she was going to cancel on me forever. So after her explanation, she asked me to go down straight after lessons dressed in my jeans and spag top.

God did I feel weird. Interview in such attire?! Oh well. I waited till 2030 for her. Stoned my way through the 1 hour. Almost fell asleep. Finally she came out from the interview with this Hospitality girl. So yes, only F&B is left. I pretty much rejected her straight away. If my passion was for F&B, I would have taken Hospitality and not Tourism.

I asked for something that wasn't offered to Internship students at Ritz. Reservations. Aiya, I'm a typical office girl. I love sitting in the office all day long and all the marketing & communications stuff is just so fascinating. Hah. She said she'll call me today and let me know if that department is available. Oh well, my phone hasn't rung yet.

I'm feeling the disappointment all over again. First I screwed up Conrad (which was my 2nd choice) and then Cathay fucked me (my first choice) and now it seems that Ritz (my 3rd choice) is going to be just as bad.

On the positive side, I have an interview with Valuair tomorrow at 1730 and another interview with TTG Asia Media on Friday. I also just sent my resume to Rendezvous as they offer reservations. 1 more week to the dateline and my placement is still not confirmed. I'm tired of going for interviews and bad news.

I'm so lost to what I should do. I'm not even keeping my hopes high for Valuair and TTG, I don't want my heart to be shattered again. Maybe I should just not take it so seriously, after all its just SIP not a permanent job. Like my mum says, its just 6 months and at the end of the day, its the experience you gain.

Angels With Dirty Faces

Cigarette prices have gone up again. Happily went to 7-11 and asked for Pall Mall Menthol Lights. She asked for my I.C (as usual), checked and said, $10.00 please. I went, HUH?! She then continued saying, yes the price increased yesterday. *faints. Grudgingly handed over a $10.00 bill. What is the government trying to do?! Burnt a hole in my pocket?!

I've already down-graded from Marlboro to Pall Mall now you bloody increase the prices again?! Am I supposed to smoke hay or what?! *mumbles. Its a sign for me to stop smoking now. *grumbles.

On the other hand, I'm proud to announce that I've stopped biting my fingernails for 1 month already! *beams. Ask anyone who has seem them. Nicer and longer now. Heh. 1 new year resolution down. I'm still working on getting up on time. :p

Headed to town after open-house today with Ryl, Chy and Quek. On 518, I remembered that Estee Lauder's Pure Pops is going at "Buy 2 get 1 Free" today, so excitedly told Ryl and Chy and they agreed! Yay! Went to the Tangs counter and the shade I wanted was out of stock so met Beef and we went on to the Shaw, Isetan counter.

*mock horror. Jamie Yeo and Grace Chua were there doing the promotion. So we were asked to try on the lip gloss and in return, we each had a free gift! *grins excitedly like cheapo aunties (I got the Pure Colour Lip Vinyl in Vinyl Berry ). So we bought 1 each and we each only paid $18.00. Wanna how cheap please! Haha. Usual going for $28.00 per tube. I got it in Sugar Pie, Ryl in Sweet Nectar and Chy in Watermelon. *beams. Retail therapy always feel better when its cheap. :)

Ryl's place tomorrow at 1100 for POM. We have yet to start on anything and its due on Monday. *sulks. Then to the Brow House at 1715 for threading with the remaining 2 Charlie Angels, Ryl and Chy (that's what Jamie Yeo called us).
Ambiguity

Airline Business & Distribution is finally over and done with, well not technically as we still have the presentation but at least the report is safely with Ms. Tan now. *whew. My partner aka Ryl and I stayed up till 0700 hours in the morning to complete it. At the end of compiling it, I was hurling vulgarities at 1 per 10 words. I mean fuck the irresponsible groupmates, I hope my email made yall realise what fucktards you guys are. (p.s. I wrote an email in upper case telling them Ryl and I could only sleep at 0700 all thanks to them) Met them just before lesson in the lab, was too tired to even scream at them, much less talk to them. Don't show me attitude when Ryl and I were late, you didn't go to sleep at 0700 and fuck you for telling us at 0300 that you forgot to add in stuff. Bitch.

My SIP placement is still a huge cloud of mist. I just wish the mist would clear and I can finally stop worrying about it. So much for CX replying to me first out of the whole cohort when they didn't even call me for an interview when they said they would. Fucktards. I swear I will never ever take a CX flight for the rest of my life. Never. Somehow, deep down, I'm silently praying and hoping a miracle happens and they realise that they have lost someone with such passion for the airline industry. If only. So everyone, please pray hard for me that I don't screw up the Ritz interview so at least, I can be with Ryl and Chy! :D By the way, a couple of new postings are up on OLE.



You Are a Retrospective Soul
The most misunderstood of all the soul signs.
Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are.
You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life.
You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor.

Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily.
But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes.
For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present.
You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life.

Rich Girl

Taking a breather from Airline Business Distribution. Finished editing 80% of it already. I'm left with the executive summary and overview. Seriously I think the proposal is crap, especially the marketing part; so boring. Let's just pray we don't exceed the maximum pages, so I don't have to edit it again.

Valentine's Day was just another ordinary day. Honestly, I think its all crap. A day for the florists to rip off morons. I hate flowers. Technically I don't. I'll shoot whoever that gives me flowers for Valentine's Day. Its a total waste of money, everything is, on Valentine's Day. Headed all the way to Novena to meet Beef after work. Waited for 1 hour cause she was still at work. Was dozing off at Spinelli's while copying notes. Thank god for the invention of Caffine; I had a nice hot capp. I had BK after meeting her then cabbed home. Was zonked out the whole day cause I didn't sleep the night before.

Missed MEIT today. Again. Thank god tutorial was cancelled last minute, so I didn't need another MC. *grins. Headed to school at 1800 for Airline Business Project, all the way till 2200. Later is going to be the same again. Interview with Ritz Carlton next wednesday, meaning I have to skip French tutorial. Bloody hell. I'm freaking out about the interview cause of the announcement posted on BB (only HTM peeps would know what I'm talking about), as the complaint came from Ritz. *shudders.

Back to work now. I'm going to kill the mosquito that has been feeding on my delicious blood for the past week. Grrrrrr.

Starry Starry Eyed

0425 now. Yours truly ain't asleep. Duh. *screams and pulls hair violently. I seriously think that Singaporeans have trouble with written English. Seriously man. I mean, generally Singaporeans speak relatively good English except that we have the all so infamous Singaporean Slang which I happen to be proud of. But when it comes to written English, hasn't anyone heard of punctuation, bad sentence construction, being too "lor soh", bad grammar and that repetition of words is bad. Hello! You're writing a proposal here please. Not writing a love letter or blogging where you can overlook the above. It took me 2 hours to edit 7 pages of badly written English. I literally rewrote the whole report. I'm seeing stars now or to be precise, seeing punctuation marks, the airline and we proposed (Its not past tensed! You're proposing something to someone. That person hasn't read the damned proposal you morons). I don't give no shit if my group mates with the horrible, terrible, vegetable (In my younger cousins words) command of the English language cause I'm cranky, sleepy and what have you. Went to work in the end, 1900 - 2300. Jo gave me an Ang Bao! :) Okay, bad to the bad Engrish.

Homicide

I just want to drop out of school now and die. Really. Its 0340 now and my mind is buzzing with 8 Freedoms of the Air, tourist arrivals, Guangzhou (China), London Heathrow (U.K), Calcutta (India), Geneva (Switzerland), direct flights, stop-overs, bad grammar and bad sentence construction. I cannot imagine editing 25 pages of that. Not to mention ground handling services, legal procedures, yield management, marketing, press release, overview of the airline industry and squeezing 25 pages of that into a page for the damned executive summary. Someone just kill me. No work for Drea tomorrow. She's going to call now and jump ship. As much as I love Airline Business Distribution, it's killing all my brain cells. Plus, I'm too pissed, angry, agitated and what other words you can relate to angry to concentrate properly.

Funkayy Mama

Lunar New Year was okay. Rather tiring this year though. Worked on the first day and goodness me, doesn't anyone need to do visiting on the first day? It was so packed and we were understaffed, almost died. I'm itching like hell to gamble though. I need mahjong kakis!

Conrad interview today. Screwed it up real bad. I say that cause I made the stupidest mistake anyone could for an interview. Yours truly was late. How fabulous ehs. But the interview went well I reckon, she was rather nice. Hope she overlooks the 10mins and calls me by next week. *prays.

In the afternoon, my sis msgd saying that I would have to settle dinner on my own cause she and my mum would be visiting friends (seperately) so met Beef and Cheryl Tay for Coffee Club. Heh. On my way home my sis called and asked where I was, told her on my way home and she was like wah so guai never club? Then she went, aiya, I'm going down to Monks, thought you would be there. *faints. For your information, my sis doesn't like Monks (I reckon yall know why) but apparently her friend was treating drinks so she went. Neh. Came home to an empty house around 2330 then mum came back around 0100. I asked where she went and she was like oh, clubbing lor. *faints again. She hasn't clubbed for about 5 years already? Then I asked where she went cause I thought she went pubbing but said clubbing. Oh I went to Devil's Bar. I got a shock. Wah quite happening ah, Devil's Bar can. Lucky she didn't say Zouk, Chinablack, Cheekys or Cocco Latte etc, or I would have fainted on the spot. Hah. Heng never go MS today man, scully bump into her. Wah lau, so everyone in my family went to cheong la EXCEPT me. What a joke. I actually miss my mum taking me to clubs and telling everyone that I'm her niece or sister and believe it, people actually believe I'm her younger sister. Insult? Bahh.

A Cock Beginning

Yay. Happy Lunar New Year. Aiya fuck the new year. I'm in a horrible mood. Tears streaming down my cheeks. A great way to welcome the new year. Cathay called Jerms, Nel and Huiping. I didn't receive a single phone call. Fuck. I'm going to call them tmr. Bright and early. Even if it means not sleeping tonight. I will call everyday until they come back from CNY break. I think I had better start writing to TTG Asia Media now in case.

History Repeats

I'm worried. Worried sick literally. The bad case of headache finally got to me this morning. It was also accompanied with dizziness. Thanks. Like Happy New Year Andrea. So went to the doctor again. Anarex and Panadol has no effect on me, Acusegic is too strong for me and therefore I have yet to find a suitable painkiller. So I went to a different doctor this time round. She was really nice so I finally decided to confide in the doctor about my weight loss. Thanks. I'm suspected to have diabetes again. Like 2 years ago, I was suspected then took a blood test but I had normal blood sugar level. So if I still lose weight in the next month, I'm scheduled for a blood test. Not to mention, I have low blood pressure (like since when?!). So she gave me Ponstan (usually used for menstrual cramps) and of course the other one to eat before Ponstan (as I have a bad history of gastric). Ahhhhhhhh. I have so much medicine to eat these days. I'm going nuts. Now I'm feeling fluish. My nose is leaking and I'm aching all over. *screams and pull hair. 2 days MC. Should I go to school tmr? Heh.

Cathay please call soon. PLEASE. On the other hand, Ritz called Lil Ryl. Yay! So happy for you. Ace the interview and do me proud! Good luck dear! Oooh! TTG Asia is out! I'm so going to apply. Travel Journalism (sort of)! My dream job other than airlines!! Wheee.

BitBit

Whee~ Beef and I finally got Bitbit! She's soooo cute! *grins. She's only a couple of weeks old and the size of my palm! So punyy. But, she's a teeny bit deformed. One eye is smaller than e other and her front left foot is somewhat useless. She hops on 3 feet. *sighs. Poor thang. I still love her though. My Bitbit. Hehs. Anyhoos, a big thank you to Queky and her Mummy for the rabbit. Or maybe I should thank KCP (Katong Convent Primary aka. My primary school) for the rabbit too since Bitbit was born there. :) Oh, actually her sex is undefined as yet. Shall call Bitbit her for the time being. Haha.

Didn't go for the MEIT field trip today although I woke up for it. 1. Was having a seriously bad headache. 2. Throat was so sore. 3. Was coughing my lungs out. 4. Was absoloutely so tired cause I couldn't sleep due to the cough. So went back to the doc again. He was like, throat still infected after all that medicine? Haha. Given a course of anti-biotics and cough mixture (Yucks!). *sighs. CNY is in what? 3 days and I can't eat what I want? Aiya, fuck it. I'll eat everything I want and worry later. Heh.

From a very reliable scaredy cat (literally) source, bloody CX says they are too busy to hold interviews for now. Fuckkk. Valuair is like dead to the world, no reply, nothing. Goodness, wassup with the airlines man. *growls. I'm hungry, time for maggi mee.

Lost Sheep

Like a lost sheep my mind is wandering to places I've never been before. I'm tired. So tired. Not so much physically but mentally. Brain cells have been over drained, brain fried. Too many projects, too many commitments and too many things going through this small brain of mine. I don't need this kinda emotional rollercoaster now. Sometimes, I wonder if it's just me or just you or maybe it's the both of us. I seriously don't need this.

Woke up this morning with my head pounding like mad and my voice all hoarse. Felt so terrible so I decided to give lessons a miss. Missed French, Accounts and POM lec. Like wtf. Was diagnosed with throat infection. Bloody bugger shit. Took MC but still had to head down for MEIT project. *mumbles. At least the project is almost done. Left with methods of reducing overall costs and some loose ends to tie up.

On a brighter note, I've been shortlisted for an interview with Conrad on the 11th Feb at 0930. That's about 1 week for now. Still waiting for Cathay to call me. If they don't call by Friday, I'm going to take the initiative and call them. Can't take the suspense no more. Much rather do airlines than hotels. Someone tell me what to do.

The Way I Am

Fuck. If you don't understand. Then forget it. I am rude. I speak without thinking. I don't care about the feelings of others. That's the way I am. Take it or leave it.

MEIT is fucking killing me. Although its a relatively easy project to do, cause its easy that's why it freaks me out. The tutors will never be so nice to give something so easy. I don't even see anything near to completion, not to mention perfection. Fucktard.
