Hey guys, my blog is going dead. So i gonna update it and bring it back to life now. So sorry for not updating it as recently i'm either quite busy, tired or not in a mood to update it.
Anyway, chinese new year rawks!!! I've collected lots of ang paos from my families and relatives during the first 2 days. Then on the 3rd and 4th day, went together with you guys to some of your house to collect ang paos as well. You guys also came to my house on the 4th day and some of you got addicted to playing mahjong. Ok, thats all about chinese new year. Will not go into much details.
On thursday, went over to lucky plaza together with kwangwei and kenny as kwangwei wanted to modified his psp. Then went over to far east to shop. I bought a belt and a polo-t. At about 7+, we went to meet up with james and siying after the couple finished watching their movie. Went to mac and have dinner and then went home.
On friday, went to yishun gv to watch just follow law with my primary school friend, liangqin. Overall, the movie was great and it is extremely super damn funny. Liangqin and i kept laughing while watching the movie. After that, went over to ya kun toast to have some snacks. Then liangqin left while i went over to bugis to meet up with james and kwangwei. James was shopping to get some long sleeve shirts for his new job. We went over to eat katong laksa as well. At about 9+, went home.
Yesterday, went to kwangwei house with eric. Then we went over to the gym to train. At about 7+, we left and then eric and i went to have dinner together. Went home after that.
Anyway we are going to have another chalet from 23rd to 26th march at aloha loyang. Yeah!!! So excited about it. This time round it will be the birthday celebration of the april birthday peeps(me, kenny, eliza and weihao). Hopefully everything will turn out well and it will be fun.
Ok then, i'll end here. Cya!!!

Hey guys and girls!!! Here for an update. Ok, these are all my 12 choices. Anyway as for my job as a marigold promoter, it is already over as these job is just for the sales for chinese new year. Went to work on sunday for 11 hours which is from 12 pm -11 pm. The pay was $10 per hour for sunday. So i earned about $110 for that day. Weee!!!! Then on monday i was sick. I was down with a very bad sore throat, cough and flu. So i took 1 day mc lor. Tuesday i went back to work and when i was arranging my stocks, one of the marigold supervisor, vanessa came. I told her i was on mc the day before but then she still help me sign my punch card that i'm present at work on monday. So good!!! Did not turn up for work on monday and yet i still get paid on that day. On wednesday, all the stocks came in. Kiat came down to help me to shift some of the stocks. Thanks bro!!! After he left, and in the night, the old man who is in charge on collecting boxes and mopping the floor came to tell me to clear all the stocks behind the back gate. I told him that my cartons there got no space liao. Then he say cannot leave those stocks behind otherwise at night there will be no one there looking after the stocks when the shop is closed. So he told me to shift them to the storeroom. Damn!!! Never tell me earlier. I got to shift all of them by myself in the end lor. Because kiat went back to his workplace liao. Got 100+ carton to shift. So i took about an hour to complete it. So tired in the end. Nevermind!!! At least i get to train my arm strength. Then on thursday, sales was not bad. It was very crowded at night. So sales was not bad. Then on friday which was yesterday, sales was not very good in the afternoon but at night, it was perfect. My cartons gone down to half. And some more my chrysanthemum tea is sold out. Some of the flavours left just a few cartons. So happy with my sales. My free gift which is the chinese new year bag for carrying orange is finished. Gave all away liao. Left work at 12 midnight yesterday night. Anyway as for my working life, it is fun. Made quite a few friends there. One of them i think all of you will know who he is. He is weide, weihao's bro. Then some of the funny stuffs during my working period is here. There is a staff there who is an indian man called nathan. Weide called him president s.r.nathan. He is so funny lor. He can speak hokkien very well. I think he speak even better than me. He spoke to some customers in hokkien. I remembered on my last day of work he help the cashier beside me pack the stuffs into the plastic bag in the night as it is very crowded. Then he kept shouting: "Lai Lai Lai!!! Lay Long Long!!! Tomorrow Last Day Liao!!! Ka Kin Ka Kin!!! Weide and i was so impressed with the way he is speaking hokkien. Then and also, at my work place, there's a mad man. His job was to collect 10 cents for the toilet fee just beside ntuc. Then every hour, he will come to ntuc to buy a can of beer. He used his toilet fee to pay for the beer. So he kept giving cashiers headache by giving all the 10 cents and 5 cents coins. Another thing about him is that he kept talking a lot of rubbish and doing all sorts of weird stuffs. Wanna know what shit he is always doing? Ask me in person on your own as it is difficult to explain here. My manager is a 40+ years old lady and her name is bridget. She is a nice person lah. Never even scolded me once when i was working there. Then on my last day of work, i saw her at the bus stop. Chatted with her a little bit. Then i asked her about that crazy old man. She said that she heard his children are doing very well but then abandon him because he kept drinking and when he is drunk, he kept doing all sorts of rubbish. Then i also remembered on wednesday, the cashier beside me said that nobody wanted to buy the golden pig as a display. She said one thing that made me laugh. She said that nobody wanted to buy the pigs because buy liao then wait become like a pig. When i was hearing, something came to my mind and i was laughing. Ok, thats all about my working life as a marigold promoter. Sad to leave there as it is fun working there. Colleagues there are nice and friendly. Then today, i woke up at 1.30 pm. Slept a lot because i'm working for the past few days and i'm really very tired. Then at 6+, my relatives and cousins came over to my house for reunion dinner. We have steamboat and ROASTED PIG for dinner. The roasted pig taste so DELICIOUS lor. Anyway, my relatives and cousins went home early today. They went home at about 8+ because one of my cousin, jingjie is sick. Sad lah!!! Cannot enjoy with them a little longer. Nevermind!!! Anyway they gonna come over during the second day of chinese new year. Ok then, wish everyone a happy chinese new year and collect as many ang paos as u like. Hopefully tomorrow i will collect many ang paos. Ok then, i'll end here. Cya!!!
I have already done my application for the courses to choose in polytechnic. So here below i will list all my choices. All my courses are mainly IT and engineering courses.

Hey!!! Here to give an update. The 'o' level results are already out yesterday. I was very nervous at first when i went into the school hall. My whole body turned numb and it is sweating all over. When i got my result, i was very happy. I make it and i think i should be applicable for many courses in poly. I got 18 points for my L1R4. I got C5 for english, B3 for combined humanities, mathematics and combined science, B4 for d&t and D7 for chinese. Who cares whether i got D7 for chinese!!! I still make it as i passed 5 subjects. Anyway, our sec 5NA badge is the best among the previous 3 years. We got about 91% who got at least got 3 'o' level passes and 57.4% who got at least 5 'o' level passes. Some more, in the first time in history at OPSS, we broke the record that we are above the national average. And also for the first time in history at OPSS, the 5NA beat the 4 express in a subject and the subject is the most important subject, english. Many of our group members make it and so congratulations to them. Our top sec 5NA student in our school is also from our group and she is eliza. So congratulations to her. As for those who need to appeal, good luck to you and i really hope to see you in poly too. For the only person in our group who really could not appeal at all, please do not be too disappointed as the world is not the end yet. I advice you to go to ICASTEC to get your diploma since you are interested in culinary skill. I will not mention who you are here.
Ok, after getting our results, we went to thank some of the teachers for helping us to produce such a result. Then we went to the canteen and we are taking a look at the JAE booklet to think of which course we should get into. Haiz!!! But then we are very confused to make up our mind on what courses to go to. We have to make 12 choices and by 14 feb 4 pm, we have to submit everything. WTH!!! It is so rush lor. Can't even give us enough time to think carefully.
At 6 pm, met kwangwei, kangwei, james, salvin, kiat and yuanrui at khatib. Kangwei damn suay lor. He lost his result slip. He left after that. Then the rest of us took the train over to orchard to meet kenny and bernard. After that, went to far east plaza to shop and have dinner. Then went over to specialist's centre to meet yiyan and siying. Then went over to OG. After that, we separate for a moment. I accompany james, siying, salvin and yuanrui to taka to shop. At about 9+ or 10 pm, we went back to meet up together and weihao also came to meet us. Then we went home.
Today morning, eric came to my house. He came to use the com. At about 1 pm, he left then i went to have a bath then went to work. Reached work at 2 pm and as usual, i replenish the stocks first. Then sat down there and have some chat with weide. Today sales was not that good but at least there are still improvements. Did not went to count how many cartons i sold in total. At about 4.50 pm, yeeyong came then i chatted with him. 5 minutes later, yiyan came to visit me. Then she accompany me during my dinner break. While i was having my dinner, we were discussing how can we make our choices on what courses to opt for in polytechnic. Then after finishing my dinner, we went to another coffee shop as yiyan want to buy fries for herself. Then saw yeeyong together his mother there. Then a while later, eric came to visit me as well. Then yiyan, eric, yeeyong and me were chatting and sharing lame stories until 7 pm. I have my dinner break for about 2 hours when it is supposedly to be only 1 hour. Nvm!!! Anyway no one will know about it. So who cares!!! Then yiyan and eric chatted with me at my marigold cartons there until 7.30 pm and then they left. Anyway, i got to work OT today and so i worked till 11 pm.
Anyway, my parents and sister gonna reward me with a laptop and a psp soon for my result. So happy!!! Finally i'm going to get a laptop after using this bloody shit laggy and slow computer for a damn 5 years. Ok, now i'm still thinking what courses i should opt for. Hopefully i can make the right decision fast. Maybe will choose info-com in nyp as my first choice.
Ok then, i'll end here. Cya guys and hope you all will make the right choice and get into the courses you want.

Hey guys, here to give an update on my second, third and fourth day of work. Anyway until now, nobody at my workplace knows my name. They either call me xiao di or marigold de. What the heck, as if i don't have a name like that. They don't even bother to ask for my name. Anyway let's talk about my working life now.
On my second day of work, i went to give the ntuc supervisor sign my punch card. Went to replenish the stocks next. While replenishing the stocks, i saw yeeyong at ntuc. Then said hi to him. After that, chatted with him for a while then he left with his mother. Then i was standing there doing nothing the whole day. Managed to sell 2 cartons. Then went for my dinner break at 5 pm. Came back and managed to sell another 4 more. Anyway, i saw a mad old man there. He asked me to pick something up from the floor but i don't see anything. Then he said he was just joking. So lame of him. Anyway, sales totally sux on that day. I only managed to sell 6 cartons. How pathethic!!! My commission for that day is only $0.60 as every cartons i sell i will earn a $0.10 commission. Haiz!!! So sian lor, this is because many customers prefer to buy yeo's instead of marigold. Anyway i did help the customers with yeo's, f&n, coca cola, etc. What the heck!!! I'm a marigold promoter and yet i still got to promote stuffs from other brands. I knocked off at 10 pm.
On my third day of work, as usual when i came to work, i was supposed to replenish the stocks. Then the supervisor there asked me to shift the stocks from the back gate to my place there. What the heck, i shifted them until the stocks is damn high lor. Almost falling. Then the cartons some more is 2 cartons above my head liao lor. Can't reach liao. So i heck care don't put anymore liao lor. Leaved the rest outside. After finishing replenishing the stocks, i managed to sell 2 cartons. Then i went for my dinner break. After that, i came back and i managed to sell another 10 more. Sales after dinner was not bad. Evern though it did not reach up to my expectation, i should still be happy about it as there is some improvement. At least i managed to reach double figures for that day. So in total i sold 12 that day. Anyway, i saw a new promoter at work. He look kinda familiar. I did think he is weihao's elder brother, weide, but i did not went to ask him otherwise if it is not him then very paiseh. He got a different hairstyle from weihao's brother. Ok, then i knocked off at 10 pm. Took the bus 804 back home. In the bus, i saw my john little supervisor, muthu. What a small world. Now then i realised he is also staying in yishun. When i reached home, i went to have supper then took a bath. After that i went online. Guess what, i was shocked when i go online. This is because after for a long 2 years, i finally saw mr neo yuanrui online. I asked him and his beloved father finally agreed to subscribe an internet for him. For about 2 years never see him online and now i finally got to see him online. Went to bed at about 1 am.
Today is my fourth day of work. Reached work at 2 pm and as usual i was replenishing the stocks. After replenishing the stocks, i saw yeeyong again. Chatted with him for a while then he left with his mother. Then there's a customer who bought 5 cartons from me and another bought 1. Then after that, the supervisor asked me to clear every stocks from the back gate outside. I told her the stocks here is already full liao but then she said she wanted to clear the trolley outside. So bo bian have to go clear lor. Anyway, the manager told me to be careful when i shift the stocks as my stocks there are already too high and it is slanting. She also told me that there's another marigold promoter from another branch got injured as the stocks topple on him. And guess what, some of my stocks behind topple. I was like WTF!!! Then i kept think how to put then back as i can't go to the back as the canvas is blocking. Then the coca cola promoter went to help me. He untied the string at the canvas behind so that i can go in. I went put and arrange all the stocks back and it is finally settled. Then i chatted with him for a while and finally realised that he is really weihao's brother, weide. Then i was stunned. The world is so small. He is working together with me. Haha!!! Like this better man!!! At least i got a friend there. Got to realised that he is going back for reservice next month. I did asked him whether he still got watch porno anot. Then he said: "wah!!! you still remember i got watch porno one ah?" Ok, then i went for my dinner break. Came back and chatted with weide. But then i only managed to sell another 1 before 9 pm. What the heck. Then at about 9 pm, weide knocked off. At about 9.30 pm, my parents came to visit me and bought 5 cartons from me. 3 of the cartons is for my auntie, 1 is for my father's gay partner, alan, the sissy whom i mentioned in my previous post and 1 for ourselves. Then they waited for me to knocked and then went home together by the car. Haiz, today's sales no improvement as i sold only 12 of them and it is exactly the same as yesterday. Some more 5 of them is my parents bought de. If not i only sold 7 cartons. Haiz!!! Hopefully sales will be better on saturday as tomorrow i'm having my off day as i'm going to take my 'o' level results tomorrow.
Anyway, tomorrow is the release of 'o' level results. It's like so fast lor. How i wish it will release after chinese new year but too bad it is tomorrow. This is because if i did not do well, i won't have to mood to celebrate chinese new year liao. So i now quite scared and nervous that i can't make it to poly. So hopefully i will do well and get into the course i want in poly lor. And also, let's pray hard and hopefully everyone in the group including me will make it. I wish everyone in the group all the best and good luck with your 'o' level results tomorrow. Even though if i can make it and if 1 of you in the group did not make it, i will still be disappointed. So no matter what, i really realy hope that everyone in the group will make it. Let's pray hard and hope for good news tomorrow so that we can celebrate.
Ok, then i'll end here then. Cya and take care everyone!!! Wish all of you good luck for tomorrow. Bye!!!

Hey guys, I have finally changed a new skin. But i don't really think this skin is that nice. Maybe will change skin again once i find a better one. I have also added a playlist at the bottom of the page.
Yesterday, my father's friend came over to my house when the family is not at home. Only my maid and grandma was at home. My father's friend very funny leh, always come never call one. His name is alan. He stay in ang mo kio and then travel to yishun for a wasted trip. Anyway, he seems so gay lor. He like everytime gay with my father. His voice so gayish. I remembered when eric was at my house when one of the chinese new year days last year, i was wishing him happy new year and he touched my hand very gently. So gay lor. Anyway he is already 50+ and yet he is still single. Omg!!! Is he really a gay? Then on the same day, he sang karaoke song at my house. Eric and i were laughing with the way he was singing. Then my father drove him to the MRT station when he want to leave the house. Sounds so gay right? Anyway, yesterday my father went back straight home after knowing he came and they went out to sing song together. Also sounds so gay right? Haha!!! Ok, lets go on talking about other stuffs now.
At night, i supposed to sleep at 11+ as i need to meet kiat, kwangwei and yuanrui at khatib at 7.15 am the next day. However, i don't feel tird at all and i can't sleep. Anyway, at 12 am, i have soccer match. It is so exciting lor the match. Some very funny incidents happen. Then the match finished at 2 am and i went back to bed. However, i was too excited and thinking of the match and i can't sleep. I think i only managed to sleep at 4+ am and i woke up at 6 am. How pathethic. I got to work for my first day and i only slept 1 hour + the night before.
Anyway, i was late and so i meet kiat, kwangwei and yuanrui at city hall instead of khatib. We then took the train to aljunied and then went to a hawker centre for breakfast. We were supposed to take the bus to the margold HR but we dropped down at the wrong stop. So we got no choice but to walk there lor. Kwangwei called the marigold promoter and asked for direction and we reached there in about 20 minutes time. Ok, then we went to the office for briefing and check where we were posted to. We also got our polo t-shirt. Anyway the pay for monday to saturday is $5 per hour, and if there is OT, the extra hours will be $5.50 per hour. On sunday, it will be $10 per hour. Shiok!!! Then from monday to saturday i will be working from 2 pm to 10 pm and sonday i will be working from 12 pm to 10 pm. Sunday i will earn $100. Shiok!!! But too bad there will only be one sunday. My dinner break will be from 5 pm to 6 pm. They will not deduct our pay for the dinner break. I was posted to block 414 yishun ntuc. Kiat was posted to khatib ntuc. Kwangwei was posted to sun plaza ntuc. Yuanrui was posted to woodlands ntuc. Ok, after the briefing and everything, we took the bus to toa payoh interchange and then we went to walk around and went to popular looking at magazines. After that at about 12+, took the train back home.
I rested a while first and i left home at about 1.30 pm and took the bus to block 414. Reached there at about 1.45 pm. I reported there and one of the supervisor asked me to station outside and transfer some packets of drinks inside the shop if it is running out. Anyway i did transfer some. My other job was just to stand there and wait for customer wanting to buy a carton of marigold packet drinks and then help them carry it to the cashier. Anyway the cashier is only just beside the cartons of drinks. Nothing much to do. Anyway, i was totally bored. There was a cashier who is an auntie chatted with me a little bit. Then before my dinner break, i only managed to sell 3 cartons. Then after dinner break, i managed to sell another 6 as there is a customer who bought 4 cartons. But however, this job is overall is totally boring. I just have to stand there whole day doing nothing lor. It is damn sian. Time passed damn slow. I'm standing there for so long and then now my leg aches. But nevermind!!! Must bear with it as it is only until 16 february. Have also yet to make any friends there. Haiz!!! Most people there are all adults. Sianz!!! Knocked off at 10 pm and then went home.
Thats all for my first day of work. Do visit me there outside the ntuc shop whenever you all are free. Anyway this friday is the release of the 'o' level results. So scary. It will determine whether i will make it to poly anot. I'm scared i can't.
Ok then, i'll end here. Cya!!!

Hey guys, it has been long since i last update as i have been very busy these days. Since i'm free now, i shall now give a short update.
On tuesday, went to entertainment centre for ice skating with kiat, kwangwei, robinson, yuanrui, kangwei, siying and jingyi. When i wore the ice skating shoes, i felt very uncomfortable as we have to tie the lace till it is extremely tight. When i first get onto the icy path, initially, i need to hold onto the side support bar as it is very slipperly. But after awhile, i don't really have to hold onto it. However, i did fell a few times onto the ground. We enjoyed ice skating till about 5 pm. Robinson, siying and jingyi went home straight, yuanrui decided to continue ice skating till it is closed. Kiat, kwangwei, kangwei and me bought some food stuffs from the pasar malam near jurong east MRT station. We sat at one corner and chatted till 7+. Went home after that.
Anyway, i will start work on the 5th at an ntuc in yishun either at khatib or 400+ there. Its good and convenient as my workplace is just nearby. I'll be working till 16th feb.
Ok then, i'll end here. Dunno what to blog liao. Cya!!!
