HI I'M BACK

HI I'M BACK.

I promised to blog after O level ended but I kind of got busy working, going out with friends everyday thus, neglecting this space.

I read through my previous posts a year ago and found a lot of grammer mistakes inside.
A quick update now :

O level: Got posted to Republic Polytechnic under the course "Sports and Exercise Sciences"

At first when I received my posting in that morning the three words "WHAT.THE.FXXK" came across my mind. I wanted to get into the course "Architect" or "Landscape Architect" in Singapore Polytechnic. My vision was to be an architect designer (Bringing in modern Venetian and European building designs into Singapore, where all the building designs are crap) but my destiny was sealed when the result of the poly posting came. I knew I wanted to get into Singapore Polytechnic since its name sounds cool and it was the only school that offers Architect but I wouldn't want to beg the Principal just to get in(besides, that course's cut-off point is way lower what I had obtained).

The first impression of Republic Polytechnic in my mind: Lousy school; full of gangsters, The school's standard is just a little bit higher than ITE, The teachers and courses in that school suck... ... and the list goes on. I'm as sterotype as some of you guys. If a person mentions that he's from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, people's first reaction will be "Ohhhhh! What a good poly! Your grades must be good and the people there are good people!". But if another person mentions that he's from Republic, people will be "Oh... Republic poly... Your grades sure must be lousy... The people there must be bad... Have you heard that the one who got slashed at Down Town East recently? He's a gang member from Republic... Sigh..." See what do I mean? I like doing and learning sports even since I had slimmed down; therefore the interest in studying "Sports and Exercise Sciences" as my diploma. When I received the text that I got posted to this course, I jumped in joy but when I saw the name of the school I will be posted into, I began to have thoughts whether or not will I be doing great in that school.

I'm the type of person that judge things before knowing and understanding them. Its like saying Mcdonalds' food are bad from people when you haven't even tasted it yet... Yeah... You get it? After the posting of the results, I did not tell anyone of the school I got posted to because I was in shame; for getting into such a "lousy" school. However, after a few days past by and after a few conversations with the people studying there, Republic Poly was indeed not bad at all. I have got people telling me that the courses in RP have such a lousy cop because it is a new school which has just started in 2007 and they wanted to attract people to get in as the facilities are new as compared to Singapore Poly's, where half of the campus are old.

Someone once told me "It's like Meridian Jc. It just started in 2003 where the entry to the school was a lousy 20 (perhaps one of the "lousiest" jcs back then). However, look where it stands now? The minimum entry to get into that school is now a good 10. Do not judge something without knowing it. You are just like one of those stereotypes in this society."

After this encounter, I began to think "Republic poly. Not bad. Not bad at all! It's the only school which offers diploma in sports where some of the people from Singapore Sports School gets direct entry into the School of Sports @ RP! I should really strive hard in my aim of interest and give it a best shot! It will be a good school at the end of the day! (-Emits optismistical auras around me and instil positive thoughts into me-)" Republic polytechnic. Here I come. ;)

The great holidays and encounters after the major exam

Immediately after the O level exams finished, I found a job. An admin-assistant post. I, thinking that it was easy, gave it a try the next day. Boy, was it tough. The job isn't as easy as you could think okay. The permanent staffs there will force you to do their work when they couldn't finish or if you are seen as being "free". The pay -$5.80/hour- is pathetic.

Working is boring there as everyone are so busy finishing their work on time to avoid staying more than they wanted therefore everyone rarely talks to each other. BUT I got to know great friends there. So every lunchtime I will hang out with my clique and we will sit by and I got to take part with them in gossiping about the Permanent staffs in the Staff Canteen. Had so much fun(With the clique)and had hell(working inside the office). Glad it's only for 2 weeks.

One of the great friends that I knew there: Angie!

After quitting the first job, I got my freedom as promised to myself for a month. Went to KL and Bangkok with the guys. After deciding that I had enough fun, I went online and look for jobs(this time looking for those which has flexibility) and I found it! It was being a Houseware Promoter at the John Little Mega Sales @ Expo where I got to work on weekdays only and the pay was $7/hour. The best part was I got to have any long meal breaks anytime(since I'm the only one in charge there) and I had 2 meal breaks everyday which consists of 2 hours each anytime I wanted. My working timing was 9.30am to 6.30pm but I cheated a little since I'm the only one in charge there so I came at 12pm everyday and leave at 5.30pm (before I knew that Yuyun was working there).

I had fun there too. Knew some working friends from there and I incidently bumped into Yuyun, who is also working there without me noticing, and our friendship grew through working! She would visit me during my first meal break and I would would accompany her for her 1 hour meal break (Her company sucks since she was only allowed 1 hour for meal and she needs to punch in and out her timecard when she had her meal break. Unlike me, where my company gave me a timesheet for me to ask my partner to sign but I cheated my hours and she gratefully played along with me.) and Jasmon(Another really really great friend I knew there) for his 2 hours meal break (SAME AS ME YAY!).

Ever since I knew that Yuyun was working there, I stayed everyday talking to her during her work untill 11pm until we parted goodbyes and went home, on the line to chat with each other again. Ever since my work assignment has ended, we each changed from a cell group member that talks to each other only like 5% to a true blue best friend where we rant,rave,gossip and pour out our emotion vomits to each other either through on the line or by sms. Some people only click with each around after a year but for the both of us, its just 5 days and we... you get it. God can makes all miracles occur ;) I got close to Jasmon too, but he's busy working unlike me lazing around at my comfort, so I only gets to go out with him when he's free.

I'm the promoter of houseware while she's the housekeeper of the changing rooms haha!

After ending my job at Expo, I kinda missed it. Because the promoters there got to know each other as we are free to walk around and working is boring without talking (oh that rhymes!) I got busy everyday as I kept going out to enjoy my life before school starts. Well, enjoying life is definately in the genes of the Lee family.

Life is short-so enjoy while you can!

Recently(last week), my church marked "The last service in Expo" before moving to Suntec on the 19th March. All of us were having a mixed emotion then- a bit of excitement, a bit of uneasiness of letting go of Expo. Well, things would definitely gets better. We are moving to Suntec city! Rejoice! We must learn how to let go of the old things in order for greater things to come. Amen.

Ahhh... It's been a long time since I blogged a post that is this long. A year in a brief. I would have wanted to continue and blog about the roller-blading trip with Daryl and Crystal where we had a blast(well... Crystal really did have a blast and fell alot of times haha!) and blog about the meetings with Jasmon and his friends yesterday but I am feeling way too tired now. I started blogging at 12am and it's 2.56am. WOW. Good night world.

Me. Good night!
