Blogger sucks
It didnt publish my post.
To think i was overpouring my excitement on my forthcoming trip.boo!

Well,now my mood is all spoilt, but as a faithful blogger,i shall just entertain my guests with my new topic of concern : My very disturbing spending power or maybe i should say spending dispowement(is there suchs word?well u noe waddi mean yup.)

ok first lemme tell you abt the wonderful encounters i had on the earlier part of the day before i dwell on the aforementioned.
Finally got my Eurail tix done at Travelex raffles place today.My conclusion? im lovin every part of my 367USD rail ticket. im lovin' it! Now i can rail my way thru europe =) What a privilege to be me sometimes. =) I like the man at travelex.No it's not a i-have-a-crush-on-u like.He's old enough to be my grandpa.I like him because he provides a service like none other travel agency in singapore..no exaggeration.Nothing but the truth.He was on his way out for lunch when my lesbie and i walked in his opposite direction.He saw us and he immediately said" oh you 2 look familiar,here to get ur eurail tix for next week rite?" i was quite amused by his memory for a person of tt age.Ok that wasn't anything fantastic but he cancelled a lunch date with his client to be desk-bound to 2 bimbos , just to plan our train routes with us.Wherein singapore can you find sucha service.Seems like the PS21 dream is coming alive.So both of us took hella long to decide our routes blah blah as he patiently held his rumbling tummy.So you might think i only consider a starving staff to be deemed as providing 1st class service. hmm maybe? *grins* im sadistic NOT.So the best part of all was that he took the extra mile to print out a few DETAILED maps of the states we're going to and highlighted every attraction on the map as though he works at the " I " counters for tourists.He even told us to give him a ring if we ever get lost cos he knows every other street in europe,no joke!Wadda nice folk he is.I like him =) Travelex is what i call First class service,not your sardine packed CTC or chan brothers.and i suppose you pay more in travelex cos its for the high class pple out there.(no im not,im on a BACKPACKING TRIP afterall,this place just happened to be the only place in sg which sells eurail tix.) Rail-loving , loving-rial..im lovn' it!Europe , here i come =)



Alrite so much on my old man & the rail.

I was mentioning abt my recent disturbing concern.
Yeah you know,ever since i was jobless 3 weeks ago ,i have been staying home .It's ironic how i work and still get allowance from pups but it doesnt work that way when u r jobless.Well so 3 weeks of staying at home has made me realised one thing,i've learnt how to save to every cents and sense that im afraid i might be seen as a damn kiam girl in no time.Why say that? Well, 3 weeks has past and i have taken less than a hundred dollars from the Lims.It's not that i dont need it,it's just that it gets very hard to open your golden mouth to ask your folks for money at the age of 19.It just aint right to be asking for money at the age of 19.Parents should learn to undstd that children have pride too and asking for money jus isnt "right" As long as they do not have the earning power,they should be given.Well much as my damn pride is working against me 99.99% of the time(im really a woman of little pride!), i swear i loathe asking for money.It's just so bloody wrong.Well its either you give me or you dont and i wont be begging you for it.Never.Ok so im sounding like the Lims have ill-treated me.Well they haven't, it was right that Mr lim felt i should hibernate in chai chee for the past 3 weeks.I did and i have proven it.In fact i wana thank him for it.you know pple always say tt money is hard to come by and all?You will never really undstd the essence of that sentence till you're really broke like me and till you really have to save up for something.for me,i've chosen to do it for the trip and im so proud that its materialising. You may not belive the state of my finances at the moment cos you are not nicole phua who is gg thru the same shit as me. If there was one thing great about this girl, well done for the effort to save my love.haha.Im sure you would love to tell me the same thing aye!Yup.
Lets just illustrate a super pathetic scene i experienced this day.
I was at watsons, with every intention to buy the NECESSITIES for my trip.Took my contact lens lubricant,took my organics yoghurt shampoo+ conditioner,stood damn long(15mins?) comparing the prices of Redoxon and Cetebe to see which os more value for money,i even squat in my skirt(very unglam sight) to choose my paper undies.And at the end of it all,i bought NOTHING.I was probably in watsons for a good 40mins and walked out with nothing.This is unbelievable.Why?I never used to be like that.I used to take 3mins to decide what i want to buy but this has taken a change and increased to 10fold the timing.At the end of 30mins,im STILL contemplating if i should get it. the like=buy=happiness=joanne theory has long been buried in my memory.Im no longer like that,i just cannot be living in tis very unrealistic theory no more!All in the name of my trip.hahas.So i really NEED those things from watsons,and hence Mr lim shall get them for me this weekend.Sometimes its not that i wana make him my carrot,but rather desperate time calls for desperate needs and since he didnt give me much to spend to begin with,i suppose such logistics shall be handled by him la.let's face it, im 19 and i do not have EARNING POWER. im 19 afterall.yes 19.

thats the poignant state of my finances.but im not feeling very sorry abt it.im proud of it and am glad ive finally gotten a way around the evils of money.Like what my sis puts it,ive existed for 19 yrs and ive only grown to be a beter person 3weeks ago.Maybe its quite sad to hear tt but i suppose im only 19 and it isnt very late yet.It's but the beiggining to a better me!Cool. Afterall,if you feel good about yourself,isn't that the most impt thing? So yeah i feel so good about my kiam-ness for the past 3 weeks cos its really an ART to be like this.Let's just say only lesbie can testify it. =)

Subconsciously or very consciously anticipating for what is to happen to me in say 2,3 or perhaps 4 weeks' time.I cannot help but think that i've semi screwed up my life as a student.That,has sorta lingered in me for a mth or so already.It comes and it goes.Occasionally Stayed for awhile in me,very kindly allowed me to ponder and go into depressed mode for half a day,after which im back to normal.Im a rollercoaster.So is my mood.So is everything that is in relation to me.

i tell you this : im confident,im assured , im unbashed. but i can also tell you :those are probably one of those far fetched confidence boosters mindset ive adopted.Im no more than a disconcerting marshmallow.
Maybe I wished i was never so assured with my abilities,so that i wouldn't have fallen so hard.
being my very personality,i really think im damn bright and that nothing can fail on me.
but you see,let's just say i've gotta admit to my rotten fate.
Know what?I have such high aspirations for myself,it's progressively getting unattainable.
From aspiring to be a specialised paedetrician,i allowed msyelf to think tt maybe a GP would do just as good.After a while,i thought tt hey,perhaps a teaching scholarhip sounds good too,or maybe it'll be cool to be a rocket scientist(my shared ambition with my dearest bestfren)!my academic declination seemed so realistic ,so i allowed myself to believe i will marry a rich man and die a taitai.Then,i came to my senses and told myself tt aiya i'll be glad to settle with a degree in BA or Science in one of those world class universities in singapore.Expectations from myself just seemed to decline more than ever,more than it ever should.Just when i thought tt was BAD enough,the worst is yet to come.
Currently,i have ONLY one pathetic aspiration and tt is to hope i'll even be accepted by one of those world class universities.My chances?Slim.

lets just say that "success" in itself is a rather loaded term.having paper qualifications only helps u get around easier. it is not a guarantee. IS tt really so ?

So if that was some kinda sheepish GP essay topic i were MADE to write about, most probably be failing miserably.

Know what?
I look happy.I am happy.but happiness is relative too.Who is to decided my state of happiness aye?god could.but i guess im jus oblivious to his words.im beginning to see failures written all over my face.I have failed in 2 aspects of life which i regard in high importance. Religion and Academic.

Who could be as miserable.
Who could be as pathetic.
Who could be Joanne?
or who could Joanne be?

*sighs*

I was just looking thru my archives and realised tt i haven spoken much in the past month.Busy and lazy.Blazy.

Now tt im sorta free, I can finlly get down to planning my million dollar dream!It prob hovers round 3.5K the most but wth,it's like a million to me still cos after the trip,i can survive on oxygen,carbon dioxide,nitrogen,rare gases..and i've forgotten the compostion of air.

I took the whole afternoon to plan out 1 tiny part of italy-Bergamo(milan) and i couldnt help but begin to shiver at the thought of how cashless i'll be.I wana cycle along the vineyards with big big sunflowers at my parallels as i ride, i want to take a gondola in Venice , I wana accomodate in a castle in Bavaria , I want to buy 2 pairs of Birkenstock in germany, i wana shop like a princess in milan,I want to buy tons and tons of chocolate from the chocolate factory so i can give each of you a barrel of choc fudge when im back(haha..excess baggage.) There are practically no ways to roll any dough in cos its abt 2 more weeks to my departure.I offered to help Mr Lim wash his car everyday at $10.He ignored me.$10 for about 2weeks will be the equivalent of $65Euros, tt can ONLY LAST ME ONE DAY in europe.See how expensive my million dollar dream is.*shrugs* Happy nonetheless.My air tix is already in my hands. Nic,We'll make it(haha..a bag of bones will arrive in s'pore on the 25th may at 9am.someone do pick us up..its a weekday and everyone wil prob be working.No one will care abt us!)


My dream aside.I talked to my long lost "sister" just now.As humorous as before,one guy who never fails to make me laugh.i mean LAUGH.Thanks Jerome! =) i bet you're smling like an idiot to the monitor now.STOP IT.So he got me an ARMY singlet for my bday!How nice.He really treats me like a boy! *grins* heh i should b expecting a grey ARMY tshirt,not singlet ok jerome?This is one patient sister who has been asking me out since he hasnt enlist to erm now..he has already passed out.*guilt guilt guilt* I have promised him a few times to meet but you see,promises are meant to be broken. I promised yet again to see him this sat, I will I must..I might.haha.Qutoe Jerome " When are you gona REDEEM your 19th bday present?If ever?" And i thought im a rotten friend only to my bimbos..haha.He's even offering to blanjah my expanses cos he thinks im pathetic.I think all my NY frens thinks im pathetic =) Jerome,you'd better go hunt down the guy who disturbed me ok!

Alright the NY memories are kinda surfacing all of a sudden.I dont miss a bit of the sch bt i really miss the very very very few GOOD frens i've made there. LIM CENYING .
This girl..getting prettier and prettier, so she needs to ignore her ugly friend here.*tsk tsk* LIM CENYING-we always encourage each other to lose weight.It's always so fun schooling with her,now i know why i was thinner in J2.Dear!we need to hang out tgt to lose weight!haha.funny how she lives so near to me but i hardly see her.NVM, same place same time at out favourite hangout man! Parkway all the way!

Ive Just done a petition to my 2 close pals in class.My schmates whom i miss.

[HENG TIN]- my chem khaki, my drama khaki , my breaktime khaki during physics periods and the girl who always bombs me with complaints abt some irritants in her class.I hope tt irritant is reading this cos as far as i know,she does.LOSER!You should get alive and stop comparing results.So what if you've got 3As.Doesnt make your EQ any higher.Ok, Heng Tin. Met her mths ago and been toking to her via msn.So glad we're still in touch.I apologise for my very slow replies on msn!

[GINNY] I didnt speak to you much though i met you in sch tt day.Thanks for the flower.Thanks for the encouragements.I miss complaining to you cos i know our views will always coincide.I know we both detest NY to the very core.I know you're studying so hard for your As now.Pls do but pls rmb me too!=) I wana coffee coffee with you soon.Can i date you!?

[xinyu] I feel a lot better after toking to you tt day! We are in the same plight i realise.God bless so fret not ok!Do update me if you're really going oz yup?there's oz fair in may.We should go tgt when i get bk from europe!

[hui Yin] Im no more at starhub! Celebrations man.I haven't catch up with you for a zillion yrs since our lunch on 23rdFeb( i rmb cos i went for the stupid intervew at starhub then we met for lunch n rushed down to m)phosis sale) U SHALL NEVER FORGET ME!

[lingyu] *hahas* high five man.We're outta hubhub! =) That condemned place.*shakes head*perm staffs know less than temp staffs. Starhub should jus close down.Cheapskate service provider who employs so many temp staffs!If there was one thing i rmb abt you,it would be your very colourful hair pins and the "GIRL SCH POWER" we always bitched abt when we were in ny. =) take care!

okies im quite certain i've missed out pple again.Tell me if i did.
Though what i've written is just my shortlived nostalgia of NY,you pple really made my stay spunking good in boring ny. *smiles smiles*

decide if you're happy.
If not, maybe you will.
Just wait.Be patient.

But i dont know if im happy.
Cos Im still anticipating.
Anticipating for the call.
The call that could relief me.
Call me,wont you?

I didn't fair that badly.
Comparatively I did.
But that's just the limits of my intelligence.

Give me a chance, i plead.
Oh my lovely SMU.
Drop me a line.
And i'll be fine.

Commission Ball 56/04(i think tts wad its called)

Food: I cant rate cos i spent half the time taking pictures with pple i duno.
Guys: Well every other guy in their most respected No. 2 so nothing spectecular
Gals: Not bad.But im still crowned ta queen.*rolls eyse*cant stand me rite.
MC:Fail.Total utter lousy.
Programme: B.O.R.I.N.G

So you you you who are reading this,my feedback for ya.As expected aye?Anyhow i did ya the favour(i repeat..its a favour)My treat at Equinox.Thanks!Not a difficult way to earn my treat.Look pretty(quite effortless!Whoops..oops my ego's crushing my readers),take a few pictures and ta da!i get to dine at singapore's highest restaurant.*winks winks*

The night wasn't all a boo seeing that i met a few familiar faces and got pretty excited(like haha you are in this shit tgt with me kidna feeling)Ha sitting beside 2 PSC scholars actually got me pondering on my ingrained stupidity or im just better known as an academic idiot.Then it got me thinking abt the fact tt scholars will only flock ammongst themselves and eventually get married.So the gene pool will always be THAT constant hence everyone else will just remain stupid.Do i make sense?perhaps not cos im not a PSC scholar after all.i mean like why cant a PSC scholar be dating say a plain jane right.Just SO WRONG when ure in this very reality-SINGAPORE.
Oh well.My thoughts.

What did i do today?Attended my cousin's confirmation and listening to the archbishop's homily just got me super guilt riddened.Disappointd with myself maybe.Im beginning to think that im a sunday catholic and my faith has not deepened or grown over the past 5yrs since i was confirmed.Tragic tragic.So the archbishop spoke about widening the community and told the confirmants to bring another friend to church.I have a target in mind.The person who likes to *winks winks nudge nudge*ahha.Well well.the church is always open to you so dont be afraid yup.Anyhow,congrats to my 2 very dashing cousins =) haha.16 yr old.Any takers?Twins by the way.=)

So I dined with a person who thinks im super fat.Im demoralised,when a guy tells you tt ure fat,what do u do?I accept it la.*shrugs*This person repeatedly told me im fat and he really meant it or at least he didn't try to comfort me.Damn sad.You have no idea how frank a person can be.Very well that Henry is frank..haha manda..but at least he's frank with the "nicer" things.

k coming back to dinner.im impressed with that place.Oh it's called Shashik.A russian restaurant.I would recommend that place to you couples out there.Not too shady an ambience if you would jus ignore the super cranky and rude old waiters.=) Oh the dessert is not worth the price if you ask me..although they are kinda famous for their desserts.I had baked alaska.I was more awed by the presentation and not the taste of the dessert.It came flaming!very classic.i like! =)

'nuff of food cos im suppose to go on a diet by my very special trainer who wants me to lose weight.*shrugs*

Officially Jobless as of 6pm 8Apr2005 and Ive got mixed feelings about bout that fact(though im feeling very farked up over the injustice of the working world aka office politics)As im writing this,im sipping on my Sheridans,trying to numb my subconscious sorrows of farking being told to terminate my glorious service rght in my face.Not tt i give a flying fark about being jobless or is it a matter of face but jus a matter of feeling sorry for putting thyself through a month of hell and torture to gain nothing but a senseless fark of termination of service.Denan,may hell be with you.May you dwell in perpetual abyss.

Details of the story of my glorious termination shant be further elaborated cos honestly,i've said enough and in all righteuos sense, I shouldn't have been sacked.I care not.

STARHUB is as screwed up as the name spells.I was never wrong to doubt their incapability.Know what? Temps staffs know more than their Perm staffs.Temp staffs are treated like animals.STARHUB is so cheapskate tt they employ so many temp staffs to fulfill jobs of a perm staff.Hell.Wake up your ideas.Im so glad i told customers over the line to subscribe to the 2 other service providers when they lament about the inefficiency of starhub in everything BUT efficiency to disrupt services upon non-payment.See what i mean?STARHUB reads SHIT.Totally & Absolutely.

Harsh post up there.that's only cos you've pushed me to my limits.My apologies for the very much over-used of profanities but im intensely megaly in angst.
