Terrible interview...Terrible week...
I went to an interview this morning to realize I'm not going to the one I want! From a normal Engineer, suddenly become System Safety Engineer... and from the job scope the SE told me, one little mistake and it could be hazardous! Like vehicle blown up and kill people! Wah lau....
My convocation... Very happening, but I think my parents left a bit too early, only took one photo shoot. I wanted to bring them to try the food, but ended up like they didn't do anything and then they left. Mum's shoes broke on the way, Dad was in the toilet when I was on stage, food sucks, camera spoilt. Everything so wrong!
Jamie also broke her front tooth after being knocked down by her clumsy friend. A big chip somemore! Her teeth wasn't very strong in the first place already.... Haiz...
More job hunt!

Mahjong Madness
Wah ha ha ha! I won a total of $24++ on Saturday night! Damn shiok! It was such an adrenalin rush game that I jumped in joy when I won a game with "花上" coz the tile was the last already! Heng to the max lor! Jia gave me a cold by reminding me not to break the floor.
Sunday we played mahjong again, although I didn't win, it was a small lost, $2.40, about 10% of my winnings. Ha.... Sub Sub Suey lah! :P
Went to buy 汤圆 from the neighbourhood mart on Thursday, and the fridge was horribly smelly! I told the auntie about it and Mum seemed to be amused that I told the auntie about her smelly fridge. What's wrong? Smelly mah, should tell so that she could rectify the problem right? I was pretty worried that 汤圆 would be smelly too.
It's convocation this week, and I am still jobless. Haiz...
P/S: Kenny Sia Blog Plug linked to this A-List Anonymous Celebrity. After I read, she revelaled about partying her birthday until 5am this morning, and from what I analysed from her blog, she seemed to be a party siao girl. So I had a rough idea of who she is and checked on IMDB on this really young superstar's birthday and I got it right! Pretty much obvious who she is actually. Check here

Clean clean clean
Every Wednesday, I will bring Jamie to school and then I return to my bed once I returned. Depends on the situation, sometimes I will use the computer for an hour or two before I go back to my dreamland.
Not this morning. For the n+1 time, I was cleaning my room again. You may wonder, or screaming inside yourself, "Your room is so bloody clean already, still clean?" Bo pian... My dressing table was infested with ants because of an unseen dead insect which was beyond recognition. So I clean lor... and while I clean, I decide to do some packing also and that leaded me to entering numerous times in Jia's room to get some stuffs which she complained to me I was very disruptive to her sleep.
After a nap + lunch break, I went to clean the art section (a small area which we dedicated to art & craft stuffs like drawing paper, construction paper, paintbrushes tc) because I was looking for something. Then after being a temp handyman fixing the skin of the study table (table old liao, waspeeling), I wiped the surface on the way.
Jia was very very very disturbed by my obsessive cleaning the whole day, even though it took me out of my couch potato state (with pc). Well, when the mood starts, is hard to stop for me. She was most annoyed when I was doing worksheet filing for Jamie (yes, I'm becoming a slave to her liao), not because Jamie didn't do it herself, but because I was not helping Jia with any of her things. :P
Yes, look a little bias but then... she hasn't had much stuffs to clear anyway.
I am really obsessed with cleaning, after watching TV shows, I would start to vacuum at 9pm and it took me 45 minutes. Then I would mop the floor for 15 minutes and then watched the 10pm show and then try to mop the floor at every commercial interval. Usually I mop the kitchen last when the shows end. It would be 11.30pm before I bath. Despite doing all these at such late timings, I rather enjoyed the clean clean house after my hard work. I think, somehow, this is a subconcious effort to compensate my presence at home.
Make myself useful mah!

Wa Kaoz
Jamie developed sexy raspy voice after a greedy attempt of hot fudge sundae + sweets, words out from her mouth were hardly audible.
As usual, her maths was not up to my standard and I was telling her to draw the graph higher to achieve the desired 26-bouquets marking on the graph, coz it was not tall enough. She gave me a "Wa Kao".
"How dare you Wa Kao at me?"
Clearing her throat, she croaked, "Not Wa Kao, is hen gao! （很高）"
Oh, sorry, my mistake. She was trying to tell me the graph was very "tall".
Jiat Lat, my life revolve around only Jamie.

The League of Extraordinary Spectacle Girls
As much as we nagged nagged nagged about do not read in dim light, do not sit near the TV, do not lie down and read books, Jamie finally joined us in this league with a degree power of 1.75 each.
都跟你讲不要读 harry potter 了！
I realized I commanded much authority over her, one word from me and she will go scrambling to do whatever I told her to. Despite so much nagging and scoldings, she still has full of love for me instead of hate, ha ha.
I think we 3 sisters shared a miraculous relationship. Jia pissed me, I pissed Jamie, Jamie pissed Jia, but on second thought, Jamie and I pretty much hold hands together and pissed Jia most of the time. Nevertheless, we three are bonded, in any kind way.
Jamie is very blur, more blur than me. Her subtraction problem ended as addition, so I was telling her that logically, no subtraction problem will have an answer bigger than the number given in the problem.
“那里有东西越减号码越大的？” I said.
Jia quipped in， “你咯！”
Win liao lor... I know my diet attempts just pack in the pounds instead of taking away.

Auntie Magnet
I think my face attract aunties, cute, lovable and harmless. But they shunned away the moment I talk. Ha ha...
One auntie requested my help to buy 4D today, nothing weird happened, and I won $5 in the scratch card. I had bought the card so that I would have change to return the auntie, unexpectally bring me a tiny windfall!
Hopefully luck keeps on rolling!

Sianz sianz sianz
Another week gone again... Now I'm having a very entertaining time doing housework, and I packed my room (again!) for the nth time since May... A lot compared to previously twice a year cleaning.
Seriously, I don't think I'll get a call from the manager. Instead of a impressive interview, I gave him a memorable one, a "Thank you you" followed by a muffled "Thansss for your time.too" at the end of the interview. And when I asked what was my chance of getting hired, he turned a big round telling me he still had to compare with other candidates, and told me usually resume would be kept a year before they throw. I took it as a hint lor.
Haiz...

Why? Why? Why?
Why I so stupid???
There were so many things I could do to impress the interviewer but I didn't!
I wanted to email the admin secretary for the name of the interviwer, I did not.
I wanted to say hi and shake his hand but I did not.
I wanted to research on their products but I did not.
I couldn't even say a thank you properly!
I couldn't answer properly to his questions but I bombarded him with a lot of questions. More like I interview him lor... I was very intrigued by the job scope and I truly wanted this job, now I screwed it up badly. Don't think I'll get pass to the 2nd round of interview. Damn...
Project payment kenna delay... eat grass liao lor

贤妻良母
Freak! I had this really weird dream about getting a real lousy job and saw Mr. Hobbes getting hitched! Nightmarish!
I met a hostel friend last Friday and hence, we went for an impromptu chat-n-drink session at Mos Burger. The topics ranged from job hunt to life recently. Since I am unemployed, my only entertainment was to follow my mum on her job. So, this lead to how neat and tidy I always kept my hostel room that many friends feared my visit to their rooms, coz they scared I "not used" and had to sweep before my grand entrance, ha ha. (Side track, I just cleared Jamie's study table today coz the mess was beyond description and I could not tolerate it!) The friend exclaimed, "哇！你可以做贤妻良母了！"
This is the nth such compliment I heard with regards to my exceptional cleaning habit. To top it off, I had training in caring for baby too 9 years ago. So it does makes me a perfect housewife, yah? But then, being a wife now doesn't have to clean like a pro, coz there's always the house maid to save the day what. So I think, I make the perfect maid! Anybody wish to request my service?
Just like things we buy, some people go for look, some people go for the functions, and we usually don't have the best of both worlds. So I'm pretty much like the machine with very good functions but with terrible design, so the buyer really has to know me inside out to get the best out of me, and I pretty much expected nothing more than a dust cover (keep on the shelf too long).
Mama Delfino (Mike's mother in Desperate Housewives) said: A woman should be a chef in the kitchen, a maid in the living room and a whore in the bedroom. We women are really being exploited physically, mentally and emotionally leh! The roles we have to fufill... how come guys just need to be the man in the house and need not do anything?

Almost won $500
Last week, on the day of the spit incident, I was to buy 4D numbers for my mum. Since kenna "head prize", I thought more or less some luck is following me. And miraculously, the number 2708 became 2702 on the chit, wah, I thought maybe this is the magic number leh! But alas, it wasn't!
Today 2702 was on the starter prize, -_-||| Should have bought continuously! Especially so after meeting the crackpot!
Had another of those "I am freaking fat" day. But the medicine for my ear infection made me so drowsy, plus I did not drink my coffee today. Hence, I slept almost half the day away, aeroplane Belle's invite for a jog.
Cannot! Cannot! Must start some routine somehow...

Just when I thought nothing weirder could happen to me after the spit...
I met an old crackpot!
I went to Watson's after a doctor's visit, and was on my way home when a lady, dunno whether she was middle-age or near 70s coz the makeup on her face looked like she had used flour instead of normal foundation, approached me to help her carry some stuffs. She said she had really important documents and cannot "拿上拿下". She was carrying 3 bags, a small tote, a medium fluffy dog-design handbag, and a large light blue but very dirty bottom shoulder bag on her left arm, a letter in her hand, and pieces of $50 notes and bankbook in her right hand. Oh, I haven't mentioned her hairstyle, she had bangs, those flat and thick kind which cover her brows, long hair crimped on the back with a clip but wasn't any tidier.
Anyway, I thought it was to carry stuffs to her car, coz she came out from the carpark, so I obliged. She called NTUC as Government Minimart （政府合作社）and we were there, I realised I was to do her shopping! Never mind... Since I had gave her my words, I thought I just quickly settled it and go. I asked her why not put her money and letter into her bag, she said, "Oh, they are very important, I cannot put them inside!" What the....
As the minute passed, I got more uncomfortable. I myself had a big Watson bag with my stuffs, and I had to helped her with her things somemore. She didn't have an agenda, very spontaneously listed out her items, as below:
So I told her I would go and change the oranges, and when I saw that she wasn't looking, I made my escape!
It was very embarrassing when I was with her, she kept talking to everybody how nice I was, yet she was very demanding! When I left the basket behind, she actually asked me to push the basket with my foot! Why not she push with her foot and grab the items with her elbows! For a while I felt bad, but then thinking of the attention we were getting in NTUC, I think I should not have agreed to help her in the first place!
Wah biang!
It took me 15 years to know the correct way of washing my ears. Just rub with a wet cloth will do. I disliked the oiliness and had always used soap and water to shower. Dang! My right ear has infection and I had always thought it was a huge pimple in my ear! Now I really afraid that I will go deaf, which is a high possibility coz I huh a lot of times nowadays, and people had to repeat to me 5 times before I get their words. Terrible!!!
Not as bad as Jamie's, I asked her to help me blow (吹) away the dirt in my infected ear, she gave me a light hit(捶) on my ear! Not surprise if I really become deaf!
I finally got a job reply!!! Mum as usual, said "Go and try lah!" A weird answer to someone who is desperately wanting to go interviews!
