Friday was a hectic day. I ended work at 7 cos the stock came in just about the time when everyone’s leaving for work. Stock taking was horrid considering everything wasn’t in English and I had to figure out what are the no. quotes. Thank goodness I was let off. I rushed crazily down for piano lessons. Late for 20min. Aft piano, rushed to meet my darlings. The senior exco hasn’t change much except for ngeeleng’s height. Chilling out season is great.. we had custom made float! Tried to rush for the last train.. but soon realize there wasn’t a need for that cos the trains will run late on fri for late night shopping.. lol

Gloomy day isn’t it? I woke up at 7 and I thought I was only 6.30. The sky was so dark. And when im about to leave home at 8.. the brightness of the sky was equivalent to that of 7. Im starting to know my work better, and the reason for all the scanning. I seriously tried to do my work rather slowly.. but I still manage to finish my work faster than the rate at which the stocks come in. I’ve got a feeling I’m going to have another off day next week.
Well, tmr’s going to be a great day! It’s jeans day.. everyone’s going to wear jeans to work.. Other than that, Friday is hangout day.. and im going to meet my darlings! Oh, and have i mentioned? I’ll be getting braces soon. Not exactly for aesthetic reasons though. If you guys know of any good orthodontist do let me now k?
That’s all for now..

I HAVE NO WORK TODAY! See.. having no work isn’t a good thing. jobless for the day = lesser cash. Anw, after much consideration, I’ve decided, 1.) I shall go for ATCL 2.) I’ll not be my teacher’s dance partner. –decision’s final-
Yeah, cant wait to go shopping later in the day.. I need to get a new pair of ballet flats. My golden fila one is shading gold flakes. I hope I can find one as comfy as that. If I cant find one, I’ll go buy those I which I wore in primary sch and decorate it myself. =) I think it’s so hard to find a comfy and cheap shoes.
Well.. gotta slp… ciao!

The only interesting thing about Sundays is that I have salsa hiphop lessons. And it’s always great because it’s the only time of the week that I really do some form of workout. Lessons are ending. And we are more or less done with the dance steps. Manage to join the later class for the salsa basic. It’s much simpler.. jus few basic steps and turns. The guys lead and u just follow. Darlings.. you guys should pick it up too.. I bet u'll enjoy it.
My teacher asks me if i wanna train to be his dance partner. Tempting indeed.. cos I'll get to learn all forms of dance FREE! But wat's holding me back is the commitments I've to make. It’ll take me a yr to train up and I prolly gotta join competitions. (okay.. that seems so FAR away from now..) on top of that, Im not sure if I’ll still have interesting in dancing. How how??

Work is boring today. Ultra slack. They dun seem to have any particular job for me yet. I guess ‘cos the stocks are not in. Well, the foundation is not less than $2SGD but less than $2Euro. Many products are from France, so shipment fees are high, and that’s what we are paying for. Enough about work, I have no idea how am I going to survive the next week when im not given proper job scope.
Well, piano lessons again. Haven really made up my mind if I should change my piano teacher. I like mine now. She’s nice. Much much better than my previous. I think she taught me a lot during the past 2 months and I feel that I’ll be more attached to her for another one month before i terminate my course. I haven spoke to her about it. I don’t want to.
Technique, patience and a great listening ear. I guess that’s wat I really need right now. Aileen, if you are reading this, it’s not that im afraid that your teacher will eat me up. But I feel that having lessons in a studio and at home is totally different. I wish I had a better piano teacher before. I do not mind playing Hanon. My teacher is the kinda teacher that makes me reflect on my music, not THE music. I feel motivated to learn, to the extent that I wish im a student of the School of Fine Arts.
Haven gotten time to prac since I started work. –guilty- I need a quiet environment to work on my pieces. Sometimes I feel like installing the silencing device so that no one will be disturbed by the music even at night and similarly I can really HEAR my music. –im quite deaf, really-

Nothing hysterical happened in the office today. The photocopy machine has become my good friend. Making purchase order is the main job of the day. Starting to like work, maybe it’s because im getting a proper work space now. The past few day’s my dept is quite cramped with products, but after having to clear most of it. We are certainly getting more breathing space. I found the reason why they have mirrors on their desk. It is to see who’s at the back of them, not really the bosses, but it is to prevent them from getting a shock of their life when someone come sneaking at the back of you.
My colleague made me thinking about this. She says that if we like a certain colour. (As for me, purple.) You lack the qualities of that colour. Well, I’ve done a bit of a research on the colour purple, or rather violet.
This is what I found out,from a web http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com Violet relates to self knowledge/ spiritual awareness. It is the union with your higher self, with spirituality, and your higher consciousness.
Ideally this colour is one that
(1) ensures reverence for all life
(2) allow one to be self sacrificing in the service of others
(3) An ability to see the appropriate route for the benefit of the higher self
(4) Idealism. (extreme optimism has joash has defined for me)
Well, it certainly seem extremely profound to me.
On the other hand one who lack of it
(1) Has no concern for others
(2) feelings of superiority
(3) lack of contact with reality
Well, I do not exactly agree with the first. But I think the third one can be said of me. (since I like Cinderalle a lot –yet I know it’s just “this-knees” crap to make everything end with a happily-ever-after- I guess the main idea is that I lack self knowledge/ spiritual awareness.
Joash has described the idea of idealism as to have a "everything is gonna be just perfect" mindset. Well, I’m doubt I think that way. I believe otherwise, well, most of the time. Isn’t that to say point 3, lack of contact with reality is not valid? Okay, im confused..

I’ve decided I should shorten my entries. The previous one is too long. Well, yesterday i continued with the scanning and I completed it before i left work. I’ve always wondered if im a efficient worker. Well, I guess I am. I completed my work today, when the supervisor only expect me to complete it by tmr! Well.. I already did at a moderate pace..
I need a new name! Does Ashley sound good? There's this girl in the dept called winne.. and when it’s not pronounced clearly.. it sounds like min-li. And stupid me actually answered “Yes?” when my supervisor is calling for the other girl. Oh.. and there’s something that iam curious to find out. Almost everyone has a mirror at their desk. Is it because of vanity or is it because they wanna see if their bosses are standing behind then while they are working.
Oh.. and the 8000 copies incident! Well, I think it’s super funny. I hid the 20 copies I made at the bottom of the bin. Hope work’s fun tmr. I hate the make up, it makes my face oily. I hate it! Oh, for those who are wondering, I dun get a discount for the products. Only the perm stuff do.
Ok enough about work. Hope’s everyone’s fine. My darlings esp. As for my reply to Runi’s entry on the wiki is that.. Yimin, glad you’ve quit. Anw, please dun turn les, you really dun have to. Hope tr stop picking or Runi and giving her a hard time. And ya. XL pls update us on ur job.
That's all for now I guess.. tired. I think my eyesight is deteriorating for looking at the screen too long.

Ok.. so today’s my first day of work. Well I guess I should count this as my first official job. I’m quite fearful on the first day seriously. And I know I’ve told some of you during/after the Bedroom farce. Oh, and if Yish is reading this.. great play my dear. Jus that we never really get to talk to you.. –sniff- we’ll catch up soon yeah? There’s the ladies night. Haha. Btw am I in-charge? Well, back to my story about first day of work. I was there early. Sadly the office isn’t open yet. It’s 8.10am and I stood outside the office. But I did not stood there for long. The auntie came to open the door 5 min later. And for those who have not known, it’s a big sliding glass panel door.. which is automated the same way as that as the Cedar stuffroom.
I waited at the reception area for about half and hr. Hoping that the pretty and kind-looking ladies who walk past will be my supervisor. (well you know.. the otherwise always happen). The reception area is merely a deception of how the actual office looks like. But it’s still relatively good. White is the main colour and beautiful posters of models adorn the walls. Even their files seem to have a colour code. (pale grey close to white). I was taken around the place. Pantry’s lovely. Nice furnishing. I do not mind having that as my personal room. Lol!
So work starts soon after I was brought around. I am suppose to scan 3 box of products. Which I did. Quite boring but I kinda get the hang of it. My dept is super workaholic. Other depts seem more fun cos they joke around and seem friendlier. Why work so hard? Oh, btw.. the cost of one foundation from them is less than $2. Ppl out there is paying almost 15 times more for one! Maybe now I know where im getting my pay from. Ladies the main victim.
