The "GOOD" service of National University of Singapore, Prince George Park Residence (PGPR)

Yeap.
loud and clear.
i hope google put this post in the top post.
I want to congratulate this school.
THEY DID IT AGAIN
to get the "BEST" service award..
many students had keep mummed about the bad experience they had.
but being a student.. enduring all these shit for so long..
i ask myself this question, "For what?"
This wonderful school of mine is advertised to be a GLOBAL ENTERPRISE!
where is the efficiency?!
let me tell u all their wonderful stories that i can remember ok?

1) the NUS ART's DEAN took freaking ONE WHOLE SEMESTER to make a decision on whether to approve a module mapping or not.
WOAH! one whole semester! just to tell the students yes or no.
I bet this is a tough question. One whole semester.
I am even sick of emailing my school to ask.
If the DEAN has give an answer..
it will mean that SCHOOL OF COMPUTING IS SLOW THEN.
and this is not the first time.
GREAT! and if we press.. we are seen like aunties bargaining.
We pay for their salaries k.

2) This is a recent case and it is bugging me!! My cluster gate won't open. I mean.. it is secured by a system lock. And so.. yesterday midnight, the door wont open! GREAT! wonderful. imagine my cluster mate coming back at the wee hours.. tired and drained.. ANd the bloody door wont open. What about.. you being locked out?! GREAT and wonderful.
the next question that you will ask is.. CALL THE TECHNICIAN.
Let me tell u people, i call the STUDENT AFFAIRS OF NUS (PGP). The staff is UNFRIENDLY, INPATIENT and is SUPER INEFFICIENCY.
THE BLOODY DOOR IS STILL SPOILT.
I will always remember the time when the kitchen i stayed in last semester had a power off..
GUESS HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED THEM AND HOW LONG DO THEY TAKE TO COME HERE?!
I want to tell this to the "GLOBAL" school out there. I freaking pay the $1382.10 for this semester to stay in this place. And this is what i get?
I went out to have a meal for 10bucks, the service is much better than what you can provide okay?!

3) it just happened.. the firs alarm rang.. at 1245am. COOL. it took how long to turn it off?! 5mins? WONDERFUL!!!

there are many many more.. and i am tired..
I really hope..
the "GOOD" service will be commemorated.

of interest..

this is the hectic month.
to tell the truth
i am not busy.
i am just bothered by the piles of work that is needed to be done n clear.
everyday.
non-stop.
but i slack tru these work.

but yeap..
they have seem no interest to me.
and so i was back looking at lu guang zhong mtv.
seriously,
he made me wants to go taiwan.
i am very against it initially..
dun ask me why..
but i just dun feel shiok and special going to taiwan or u can say taipei.
i am not a city person.
and this is so ironic cos i live in a city.
what's with the shopping and the expensive food.
the best deal are always hidden in the town.
the peaceful, special town.
looking at the mtv..
i really got this wild idea.
i want to shoot my own mtv.
my own grad trip mtv.
i want to go taiwan.
to places like jiu fen and hua lian.
to the places where the yuan zhu ming stays.
to the places where this part of taiwan was so influenced by the jap culture that the people, house and everything followed the japanese style.
I want to shoot the sea.
shoot the cafe in jiu fen and of course must drink la.
shoot the nice scenary and etc and etc.
i even felt like asking dear to bring guitar.
he sure will shoot me.
like i say it is a wild thought.

when my voices friends asked me to sell my viewcam..
i was actually in fact not very willing.
there is somewhere in me telling me that
MAYBE..
Just maybe..
i will need it to shoot wonderful memories again!
i really felt like bringing it to my grad trip.
a different documentation.
but i will not forget my D70 and my digi cam and tripod.

and now comes another big problem
my baggage will be overloaded..

of food, life and music

yesterday was a hectic day.
slept at 5 the previous night and waking up early for meeting.
the part about sleeping late is ok.
the part about having 4 hour for an interview is not.
woot.
that was really mind boggling.
will nt name the company but it is still a company that have not been launched yet.
i would say it is a startup in Singapore but the company was actually a franchised (i seriously think it is) from other country.
I saw New Zealand, Australia and Hongkong as the countries of the company having set foot in.
It didnt really matter.
it was just a small company.
With 2 boss and a receptionist.
So the interview was an one hour test of my standard with regards to marketing and strategies.
Imagine a mind that is not functioning working for a tutorial.
haha.. Mind-boggling.
In any case, the interview i had with the first boss gives me alot of insights. I was actually quite disappointed with the company as i feel that it is sort of a scam and i really do not really like to work in a "small" company. I liked to work with people, working in interesting projects and learnt lots n lots of things. The interview I had was interesting cos it WAS another testing round. Oh gwad, my mind was like, "when can this end? Why do I, a sleep-deprived person have to go through this?" Neber mind.. after soooo long.. the boss wants to test my photoshOp. hahah.. I nearly cry.. I need inspiration to do photoshop one lea. Luckily.... at a stroke of luck i saw a picture and i finished it in 15 mins. SHiok. and was satisfied. But then.. he asked me to talk to the boss.. WOoHoo.. I am struggling internally. haha.. but with my smoking skills, i think i did fine and was finally allowed to leave. Even boy was saying that his HSBC interview was easier lor.
Despite the long interview, I am still incline towards SAF yatch club job..
but they haben call me for interview yet..
was getting desperate.
not that i do not like this job scope but...
like i say.. I like projects.
another revelations i got would be, my resume is "Wowness" to small companes but in actual fact if this was presented to big companies they will surely laff their ass off.
but yup.. just lamenting.
In any case, i had a wonderful day yesterday despite the LONG day.
attended voices miniconcert.
it was wonderful i must say.
but in the aspect of a club perspective..
everything that the committee did..
had a hidden agenda.
being "old" we are also able to see who is the potential vocalist, who is the potential head for the club or emerge.
while enjoying the great music (i must say that the band is good, minus the system and some wonderful singers, i must say its woot!)
i was not back alone.
Along with dearie, there is also aq, (rich and busy) Minghwee (haha..) and (taitai) huili..
hahaha..
after the concert.. it is time for memories..
sadly to say, we are really jaded and "old"
i can feel my "oldness" in this rowdy crowd
they still have the energy to shout and cheer.
"OLD"
nonetheless, we still have our fair share of fun, thinking about the past. how we(my comm), started the miniconcert. (thanks to the leadership of minghweeee n qi mei mei). To speak the truth, i am very proud of it or you can say we are proud of it. Nonetheless, never forgetting how we brought the club to a new level. Stepping dwn and looking back really brings back lots of memeories.
Remembering the roles and SWEAT we had..
looking back now seem to justify everything.
The feeling is really good.

Of course.. after wonderful music..
it is time for good food.
Going back to railmall again to eat blooie cos the previous time under my persuasion we went to hooked.
that minghweeee keep thinking about the restaurant from then on.
so off we went in minghweeee car.. damn tempted to drive it.
before leaving.. minghweeee tot i got my license and almost give the go to drive. DAMN.
hahah..
in another case,
after a hard and long day..
sitting dwn with old friends and colleagues really gives me a good feeling.
a tired mind but happy soul.
what more can one asked for.
i began to wonder, will this become my life after work in the future to come?
hahaha..

hahah.. all i can say is all the best to my two working friends and the best to me, aq n dearie..
the two engineers is okie de la..
as for me..
hoho.. work is still an option.
parents had suggest to me to have one more degree and i would like to pursue my tourism degree
however, mama wants me go back nus.. *crazee*
i hate them lor..
but nontheless..
we will have one more sem to see...

Solo Traveller

I alwayz thought this was abit wild.
Nevertheless, I would very much wanted to achieve it.
I sort of had this experience while I am in US.
walking dwn 2 streets braving the storm(almost) to get my mum's a bag
or walking dwn Times Square alone at night and only able to reach hostel during midnight..

it was scary, I must admit when i remembered the streets wrongly n u feel lonely.
this is the bad thing abt solo, i must say.
but this is not the point I want to point out.
solo travelling is good!!!

you have the whole space for yrself.
i especially enjoyed the time when I was so tired that I forgo my afternoon nap bring my laptop to Starbucks to enjoy the solidarity. Just because i have the urge to be alone. Tho it was short but I enjoyed it very much. it gives u yr personal time n space to think, to ponder or to daydream.. w/0 anyone interfering u.

I very much wanted to do that in one of these days.
it's a good experience.
esp so when i got myself a D70 and a good condition digicam still.
A solo traveler i will be
taking pictures of what I have in mind.
taking pictures that could relate my feelings at the very moment.
taking pictures for that special someone..

give me an air tic pls.

longest route..

today I had my first auto car lesson.
today I had my first drive on the road after so long.
and today..
I had my longest route drove on the road during lesson!

So many first..
but what is most stunning is that..
the instructor made me go such a long way.. :p
lucky i am good at recognizing the road..
so yeap..
this is the route taken:
turn out from bbdc, turn to bukit timah road, go dwn the long stretch.. go ah go.. go ah go.. I suppose there's a few turns and i landed myself at JurOng east mrt.. Stress.. neber mind.. go ah go.. go ah go.. I landed myself at tradehub 21.. (near sch le) den go ah go... I turn out and reach clementi road (which is near school.. the 151 route) and go dwn straight.. pass by ngee ah and woohoo go up a flyover and dunno why.. REach near PANJANG! stunned.. Panjang lea. haha.. luckily no more straight ahead.. made a few rounds got back bukit batok and tadah back to bbdc..

I was feeling high..

until.. Jeff told me he drove to boon lay before.. that one more power.. hahaha..
in any case, AUTO car is really so easy.. =.=
no need to ganjiong when u going to turn or slow dwn.. ROAR..
but there is really no control over the car..

in any case, i learnt two modes..
i have 2 driving skills..
i can choose..

suddenly, I have an urge to get a car.
and i hOpe its an auto.
hahah..
tho i will feel weird.

in any case, good lesson. And i hope i can finished all my lesson asap!!!

never mind the fact that i am poor..
but the moment they realise i am a student..
WHY

@.@
I hate that job.
not that it is a bad job.
i respect my FA.
I respect those who wants and aspire to be a FA.
I just hate to do sales.
I dun like to push..

"NO! I would not consider (not even the slightest bit of interest or consideration) that I want to be FA!"

please stop calling me.
