I'm Sick
Posted Thursday, November 27, 2008 // 22:35
I'm sick . I mean physically , not mentally . LOL . I feel so bad this morning and I slept throughout the early afternoon . My nose was ' stucked ' and my throat hurt so bad . Anyway , went to meet Cheryl , Roy and Wenjie after that to look for jobs again . We went to Jurong Point first . But the jobs there are all retail fashion .. So we went to eat our dinner then we headed to Dhoby Ghaut . Wanted to look for a job at The Cathay , but there are no more vacancies . SAD . When we were about to leave the place , we actually witnes a fight between a guy and a ' transgender ' women . LOL . They were like shouting profanities like no one's business . Fortunately the fight didn't get TOO bad . The authorities went there to stop them . Haha . Best ' movie ' I've ever watched at Cathay XD After that we went to many more places and finally we filled up a form at GV Plaza Sing . Now have to wait for their call within 3 days . Like at least they said they'll call .. Others are like : " I'll call . " and then they vanished . Haha .

We went home after that . Took a bath and I felt so cold .. And my eyeballs are like burning . Haha . So I took my temp . See :

Toodles ~ ><


Job Hunt 2
Posted Wednesday, November 26, 2008 // 22:14
Went to Roy's house today to discuss about the trip first . Then I went for a job hunt again . I saw this particular ad on classified and it says they are hiring 100 'packers' .. Like who the hell know what is packer .. We thought it was just packing some gifts or smt .. Cos it's a company . So Cheryl , Wenjie and I went down to City Hall .

So we went in to this room and a lady brief us on the job after filling in applications wadever admin stuffs . She first said that for the 'packers' , it will be at Tampines . So we thought that the company had another office there and we are needed to go there to do some packing . Ok , here's it . She said : " You need to know what to pack , like eggs , watermelon . Then meat must pack with meat . "

And we had this " omg , you're telling me that we're going to work in a supermarket as a packer !? " look .. Then we realised that this is a HUMAN RESOURCE COMPANY that helps OTHER COMPANY SOURCE FOR HUMAN RESOURCE .. LIKE WTF .

We're intending to reject this job anyway . LOL . After that we went to Peninsula . I got my skull hoodie ! XD After that we went to Northpoint to fill up a job application form at Popular .. Sigh . Still haven found a job yet . Anyway , Esprit is having offer . LOL . We couldn't resist and we went in to get some t-shirts . Haha . I got 2 for myself and 1 for my sis . Went home after that . If not , my pocket would have burnt a large hole ..





OMG MY CRAMPS ARE SO FKING PAIN ~ !!!


Job Hunt
Posted Monday, November 24, 2008 // 22:37
Okay , I just found out that I have been " retrenched " even before I start work . LOL ! Grrr .. Blame it on the the financial crisis ! Nvm .

I slept at 4am last night . Hehe =D I was so hooked to learning how to play Innocence by Avril Lavigne on the piano on Youtube . Here are the links to the two tutorials :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_18h2WfNP1w
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfLpycHuQEk&feature=related

This guy is just totally awesome =D I got it in 2 hours XD

Today , Wenjie and I went to Woodlands CC to submit our Edusave forms before meeting Cheryl and Roy at CWP . We rented some horror films and we headed to Roy's house , and this is when we realised about our " retrenchment " . LOL . So Cheryl , Wenjie and I went for our job hunt .

We went to Orchard first . Art Friend was our first target .. But they don't have any job vacancies .. SAD . After that we went to Kinokuniya . But the staffs there can't help us and we needed to call the HR department .

Here's the conversation with the HR personnel after Cheryl spoke to her :

Lady - " Hi . "
Me - " Hello . "
Lady - " Can I have your name ? "
Me - " Samantha . "
Lady - " Surname ? "
Me - " Chua . "
Lady - " Can I have your contact number ? "
Me - " 9XXXXXXX . "
Lady - " So may I ask if you are also from Admiralty Secondary School ? "
Me - " Yea . "
Lady - " Do you have any working experience ? "
Me - " Er .. Ya . I worked at * laughs * McDonalds before . * giggles * "
Lady - " Okay . So is there any days in December which you cannot work ? "
Me - " Erm .. Also 4th to 9th of December . "
Lady - " Oh .. So you are going an a trip together with Cheryl ? "
Me - " Yep . "
Lady - " To Hong Kong ? "
Me - " Yea . "
Lady - " Okay . We'll let you know if you're short-listed for a job by calling you , okay ? "
Me - " Alrights . "
Lady - " Thank you . "
Me - "Thank you . "

LOL . After that we went to HMV . But there were also no job vacancies .. We were soooo hungry with all those walking and we decided to fill our stomachs at Cineileisure . Went to Pastamania eventually , after walking about . We sat at Pastamania for like a good 1 and a half hours eating and crapping . Haha . After that we went to Cathay to see if there were job vacancies ( Actually we went there to see if there are any good movies [: ) . LOL . We decided to go to Popular after that to see if there are job vacancies .

Okay , so we boarded the train and we started to look at the documents for the Hong Kong Trip . The train was dead silent if weren't for our laughters . Like WTH !! Once we shut up , the entire train becomes quiet . LOL . So embarrassing .. We also had a real funny conversation . Here it goes :

Me - " I know a job that we will definately get . "
Cheryl - " Ya . Near Aljunied right ? "
Me - " Yep . " ( LOL ! )
Cheryl - " Okay , lets go . "
Me - " Okay . "
Wenjie - * After awhile , realised that we were not going to Aljunied * " EH , I thought we're going to Aljunied ? "
Cheryl & I - * Laughs like mad *
Wenjie - " What thing ? "
Me - " You know Aljunied near where ma ? "
Cheryl - " Near Geylang la ! "
Wenjie - " Huh .. " * After awhile realised that we were crapping * " OH !!! "
All - " Laughs like nobody's business . "
Wenjie - " My mother works at Aljunied there . But is not sell body . "
Cheryl & I - * LAUGHS *
Me - " Like DUH ! You don't have to add the second sentence ! "
All - " LAUGHS "

Haha . OMG , I really have nothing better to do . LOL ! So we decided to head home . What a day (:


Cutting Fats
Posted Sunday, November 23, 2008 // 13:41
Found some real interesting stuffs at SparkPeople while reseaching . Teehee XD

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to perform basic, everyday functions like circulating blood, digesting food, and breathing. SparkPeople uses the Harris Benedict Formula to calculate your BMR, which differs between men and women

Female BMR = 655 + (9.6 x weight in kg.) + (1.8 x height in cm.) – (4.7 x age in years)
Male BMR = 66 + (13.7 x weight in kg) + (5 x height in cm.) - (6.8 x age in years)

Sedentary lifestyle needs: BMR x 1.2

I think I'm exceeding it already .. LOL . Fking FAT .

One pound of body fat equals 3,500 calories. Therefore, to drop 1 pound per week, you must create a deficit of 3,500 calories over the course of seven days, which equals 500 calories per day. --- OMG . 20 - 30 mins of jumping jacks helps to lose 300 calories . To lose 500 calories , you need to do 45 mins of jumping jacks !

OMG . Jiayou !! Must cut some fats !! Grrr ..


New Skinny !
Posted Thursday, November 20, 2008 // 23:32

I finally got out of my house today ! (: Karen and I went out to discuss some stuffs as well as do some shopping . Hehe . I went to Penisula Plaza to get a pair of skinnys ! (: I think the stuffs there are quite reasonably priced . I got my skinny at 15 bucks , 5 bucks cheaper than the one I bought from blogshop a couple of months ago . After that we sat at Gloria's Jeans for like a few hours drinking a cup of smoothie that cost 7 bucks !?!? OMG . Felt a pinch .. ): After discussing , we went to have our dinner . Then we went to Sunplaza to get some stuffs as well as to borrow some books .

I went to get my cardigan first (: Went to take a look at some CDs after that then we went to the library to get some books . Borrowed this book :

Hope it will help on our trip .. But I have yet to read up . I'm doing some research right now so don't say I'm not doing anything for our trip .

After that we went to Popular to get a book :

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
