I am currently working now at Salad Works. It is sort of like a salad bar, something like subway. I am a salad maker there. That means i make up salads like how subway make up sandwiches. For now this is my temporary job until I get a job related to my major. So yeah… I am a salad maker.

I do not know why today I feel so tired. I slept early and well yesterday but when I woke up, I just feel so exhausted and unmotivated. One reason is I think is because I had a bad and sad dream. It was weird. In that dream i dreamt of a bad dream and then I woke up for work feeling sad all but I was still sleeping and dreaming. Something like a dream in a dream. If u get what I mean.

Secondly, the weather sucks today as well. It was raining the whole day. Got wet getting to work. Got wet coming back. The wind was so strong that when I waited for a bus today one of the window building broke and fell to the ground near to the bus stop. The glasses were flying everywhere. Thank god it didn’t hit me.

Thirdly maybe it is because chinese new year is already here. Just a few more days. I am here all alone. SIgh..no good food, no friends, no relatives to visit, no big dinners, no gambling, no laughing, no fireworks and there is even no chinese new year cards. I mean chinese new year cards that I can buy to send to you guys back home. Somemore it is a bloody big bookstore and they dont bloody sell CNY cards. WTF?! So sorry…no cny cards and too late to reach in time now. =(

And just a moment ago, I deleted pictures that I wanted to post up here. How my work place look like. I guess now, you guys have to just use your imaginations.

Also thinking whether I should go to some Festival this Saturday in Hamilton with David and Jeremy. Just an hour away from the city for a festival called Parachutes. One part say go, because nothing to do and good experience. Another part say, ahhh stay home lar, save money. Chinese new year. HOW?

I’m tired. Will post pics up tomorrow. Hopefully.

Prayers Answered

No worries. I haven’t found god yet. But instead I found another god early this morning. It was the football god. LOL.

It was Manchester United 0 - 0 Liverpool in the 87th minute. I predicted and prayed that Manchester will win the game with a late winner. I told David n Jeremy I would buy chicken tomorrow as an offering to the football god if Manchester will win. Guess what in extra time Rio Ferdinand powered a header into the Liverpool goal. I was so happy…haha…and when the game ended, it was 7am in New Zealand. And I have work at 10. I am now so exhausted but the game was worth watching even it was practically a dull game.

That’s about it from me for now. Off to dreamland…Glory glory Man Utd…whatever…

you guys are so sweet. so sorry bout the msn nick. didn’t mean to make you guys worry. it was nothin but just lets say it was an expensive lesson for me. not because i failed the test but i didn’t get the chance to take it due to a misunderstanding and a careless mistake. it is a long story but again, it just boils down to money again. money money money…the root of all evil. anyway when i came back i saw so many msgs i forgot what i was unhappy about already. hehehe

kim for always being there for me during my shitty period,

izal always going for late night emo sessions,

my first accident where i was left pale and shaking,remember adrian n kim?,

mamak n soccer sessions with de gang i know my whole bloody life mostly from primary till secondary which we still do everyweek up till before I left,

all the fucking nonsense we did…those were the days…wait it shouldn’t be put that way. it should be those were half or quarter of the things we did during our friendship and there will be so much more we are going go thru together in the future.

Update

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

Finally I found a job. Not a job relating to my degree though. A temporary job at Salad Works(sort of a salad bar). The thing is I had my first day today and it was pretty easy and pleasant to work there. All the other employee is so friendly and nice. The employer wants me to work full time for him and he is a really nice person.

However when I reached home from work, I got an email saying that I have an interview with an advertising agency. Scheduling to meet me for an interview on Thursday. It is one of my dad’s friend, friend’s company. He is glad to see me but I do not know what I will do there. I doubt I will do multimedia stuff but maybe other stuff such as marketing, advertising or sales.

I just feel bad you know. You sort of have a job now and "IF" the ad agency decide to hire me, for sure I will turn down the salad job. A little bit bad lar, but heck I still need to go for an interview first. But anyway it is a matter of IF they hire me. If not salad job is my back up then. Woo hooo..

Anyway I just got updated by Mr. Yohei that our U2 concert in March will have supporting acts. In some parts of the States, Dashboard Confessional will be the supporting act and for the others are Keane. How cool is that? However, the U2 concert in AUCKLAND will be supported by KANYE WEST! Wooo hoo….Definately now I am not selling my tickets..

Kw

maybe..I should? The price will go higher..lol…Nah….nope.

Firstly, congratulations bro! Happy wedding or whatever you say during weddings. I am just so happy for both of you.(I doubt my bro reads my blog) So sorry I couldn’t be there. I wish I could. *want to cry now*. Why aren’t we millionaires? WHY?!!

I called home just now and congratulated my bro and Teresa. They have been going out for quite sometime now and finally they are married. Ahhhhhh..so nice. When you see lovers get married and all, it just gives you a happy feeling inside. Wish I could get married too. Lol. I wish all the best to my bro and Teresa. May you have lots of happy times, good health, wealth and lots of kids. I don’t know how to say all these things but I want to be the greatest uncle. Hehehe =)

Spoke to the whole family except me big bro, he wasn’t around. Good to know everyone is fine and they kept on asking how am I over here, how am I financially and bla bla. I spoke to Teresa as well. and straight away she tested me on how I should address her from now on. HEhe..I should call her as
"Yee So" now. Anyway she was joking with me. Sigh. Miss everyone now. Sigh cannot cannot go on …after I nangis.

Go sleep now. Nitey nite…everyone eating sharkfin soup and YUM SENG as I go into dreamland.
