Forgive me just like how the water did to rocks...
Thursday, March 27, 2014



Nights like this i just wanna rant somewhere and I suppose this is where i can really do it. I am just days away from heading for overseas internship, Mauritius, Club Med to be specific and it all seems that a part of me couldn't help thinking about the things that I am still worried about over here. Dad's still in the hospital due to some old injuries that came back ever since it heals about 3 years ago and it seems that mum is carrying the burden of the family expenses and fighting against all odds to support the family from falling apart. And here I am a day away from the expo sales of BHG trying my best to work out the expenses I will be facing overseas as well as to lighten the load by not asking a lot for overseas internship, but other than that i felt cant help feeling really helpless. Perhaps that's the reason to why I am always drowning myself with temporary/ part time jobs or should I say to seek a new experience if that's to allow myself to live in denial. A part of me felt that overseas intern wasn't a good choice, whereas another thinks otherwise.


Eventually "I just want to learn to be like water, to go through the rocks perfectly without much fight with the obstacles that lies ahead". Forgive me, just like how the water did to the rocks, although they kept resisting against the flow.

Thursday, October 18, 2012


I m back with a month happening into this post, somehow there is just so much to handle even during the holidays with work, gathering with secondary school mates spooktacular ,talent race and also evil plans :D

Firstly, work, kinda work at Crocs for weekdays during this semester holiday and weekends at Converse. No doubt it was sure tough for the first few days adapting to the work environment of Crocs, New environment, products, staff and customers and not forgetting new work attire in blue:D

Medusa and me 
P.S.(Pls don't take note of my tired eyes)
Moreover, the time was really difficult to endure when there is no customers and i was force to learn mostly everything on the first day from cashiering to product knowledge and also calling to checking stock as my Crocs supervisor know me before working at Crocs, bcoz she was a really good fren of Medusa, my Converse supervisor and had really high expectations ><

"And once the storm is over you won't rmb how u made it through,how u managed to survive.You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over.But one thing is certain.When u come outta the storm you wont be the same person who walked in..."

The process was really taxing but i m glad to have helpful colleagues who will guide me, blur Joel who is really clueless about everything that is going in Crocs being a real burden most of the time,but through all this i really forged strong bonds with every single one of them be it full time or part time.And this have made me decide to quit work at Converse,since the management i felt was more organised at Crocs, pay was much better and the benefits of the part time is considered by the management as most of the time only full timers were given benefits like staff discount in most shops(:

 ~Starbucks and Converse Mini family~
 However, I will be sure I'll miss all the frens i made around converse from Lee cooper to Starbucks and to Quiksilver and also the kiddy ride areas. If you were to read this, i really wanna thank you all for tolerating all my nonsense all this time,waving countlessly at you ppl when there is no customers and given me free drinks to boost me up for the day when i always seems to be half dead, really appreciate it,it seems all like a mini Vivo family. Thank you so much all this time :D

~5A1 crazy gathering~

Secondly,so so happy to meet up with my secondary school classmates again although it not everyone,but i m really thk those ppl who made the effort to come.Watch Taken 2 and had Lan,steamboat and also talking about the previous retarded things we had in the past when we are still young.Meet up soon again :D 

 ~Donovan the butcher and me the thai prince~
Thirdly, Spooktacular was really fun,was dress up on the 11th as the thai prince for the media preview and was station outside the deadly dolls studio to scare all the staff there,however didnt did any flash mobs that day coz the first one kinda screw up and the rest of it i was too far away from the falsh mob area.Hopefully this coming friday will be something better since i will be taking over the role as the vampire(aka jiang shi). 

Foruthly,after much debate the the talent race is gonna be on and going again,i just hope everything turns out well since everyone has their own song alr,but will nid more practice for sure ><

Lastly, manage to execute 2 evil plans so far this holiday really feel satisfying, for both turn out well and made Bella's day,seeing her happy realy makes me smile :D Alrights one more in the making...

~One can choose not have anything,but nvr not to have memories, 
coz they made us who we are today~

Man in black XD

Alright Peeps,today is also known as the formal Monday, had presentation skills(previously known as comm skills in the past ) and it was first time wearing full suit in school with blazer,to be honest i m kinda excited.HAHAHA.But full suits or formal dress codes also means more stress as we had to remember the scripts before presenting,cue cards, cue rings,pens and presentations slides will become ur best fren then as u nid to be familiarize with them .Hmm but still i kinda stuttered a little here and there although i remembered my script,l things just don't flow through brain processor,guess when u're nervous everything seems to be in screen saver/power saving mode and when you know it everything just when blank on me.Aiyoo >.<
But rather that was a pretty good experience didn't met my expectations though,but next time will be better for sure that's where learning takes place eh??:D HAHAH that reminds me of this song
 Fefe Donson-stuttering




Secondly,I kinda love this quote a lot by Thomas edison he quotes 'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.' which also means that no matter what just keep trying and i thought about it in the bus and maybe sometimes it's not about how many times u fail,but instead how many time you tried to pick yourself up and continue fighting,Jiayous my friends for the mistake that we made allow it to be lessons for for a better presentation in the future!!:DD
And also to my project team thks for all the encouragement all this while and also to my classmate,Jiahui stay the happy and cheerful girl alrite!!:D


Lastly,Yayy and the preview for the talent race is done and gotta be submitted tmr,click below to view it!!:D
But the song is making me to feel sad, coz it's a song compose for graduation and i miss all my secondary school friends!!:<

Talent Race Recording:DD
Sunday, August 12, 2012




Yes,your eyes is not playing tricks on you,this is the first post of mine for the year 2012,new updated blog skin, new friends,new events and  lastly new experience !!^^V When recording in School today for LRM talent race 2012, thought it would be pretty dreadful to go back to school today but turn out to be better than i thought it would be.Met Hannah, Rachel Sam and Vanessa for a cover.Initially wanted to cover I won't give up by Jason Marz but somehow he strumming patterns won't fit in the bridge portion.Alternatively, we cover the song title 'Good times we had together' a song compose by Hannah for her graduation in YJC ,here is the link of the piano cover of hers.
I really like the lyrics of it and somehow i had tab out the guitar cover for them to sing to it,moreover, the way they harmonize with one another really surprise me because they had really awesome voices!!Especially when u hear them sing at the auditorium,whoops yes we somewhat broke in coz it's not lock and what's more there is air con on a hot day which makes it even more tempting to enter!!Like the saying goes rules are meant to be broken!~(:
hehehe saw Isabella too(aka PigBella), while practicing at the south wing of business block,she was memorizing her script for her Japanese role play!!Gambateh eh, All the best to ya!!^^V
