APMEC is over and i'm back at work which was supposed to end today but now is pushed to [hopefully] friday... the pass 5 days were busy as hell but now i have time to sit back and relax to think about what happened over these few days... the new friends i met and the enlightenment i had...

19th feb... APMEC day 1

i woke up at 5.45 to get really for my boss [mom's friend] to pick me at 6.30 to reach NUS at 7... along the way its so damn sleepy and i wanna sleep half the time but somehow can't... i arrived in the office to get ready for the day ahead... i was to man counter 4 for the people from thailand, UK, USA, UAE and taiwan to sign in for the event... it may seem like very little countries but thailand has 50++ people with very long and similer looking names that i must look up for and hand them their name tags... damn hard to look for one strange name in a pile of many many equally strange names...

but i'm not the only one who faces these problem... counter 1 2 and 3 also have many many names to give out and to search... just that they have more country with less people in them... i kinda feel that they are much lucky-er than me... haha

but in truth, our job is quite slack... cause only in the morning and noon time will people come and find us, in between, there are attending the workshops and we are free outside... but i must vent my anger at the people there who were sleeping on the job when we had nothing to do and STILL earning $6 an hour while me and arthur have been working our ass off the pass 3 weeks getting paid the same rate... haiz...

at least we get free lunch and morning and afternoon tea break in this period of time... free food is always good... but then i have come to not like or dislike the free food, eating so much for 5 days really makes it very dull after a while...

APMEC starts today... Busy to the max... but not really

all the stuff that i have been doing for the pass 2 weeks has lead up to this... all the names that i saw, i can finally see their faces... and its quite nice to meet them as there are quite nice people... i think... day one is just sitting there giving out name tags to the people that come... and a word to thailand who sent 50++ people here making my live hard... all the names damn long and strange... haiz... it will get worse on sat

today however is the one year mark of something i have done backin 2008... i can say to be proud of myself for doing it i guess... but yesterday when i watched Kurogane no Linebarrels 19, this line came to me on the show than i would have used back then if i knew of it...

"i like you, i know i can't make it, but i wanted to say it anyway, that there is someonewho likes you... i hope you remember that..."

today marks the end of office work for me at NUS... tomorrow till monday, i'm out there in the convention working quite long with no lunch hour... haha... seems fun

It is strange that today I feel an unknown feeling of anger, sadness and maybe envy… its really strange to have these kind of feeling over such random events…haha

I guess I’m really breaking down into nothingness, my mind is really messed up

To tell the truth, I hate this feeling… but I guess it applies to others too… but it seems that it around everywhere and around most of the time… I should stop slulking over my inability and find something to put my mind off this shit

On a totally unrelated note, large shopping centers are a complex maze that I have really never found a way to get out of without a map…O.o

I HATE THIS

ITS FRIDAY THE 13th... THAT EXPLAINS MOST OF WHAT HAPPENED TODAY

The first part of this is written at work… damn, today is a freaking boring day… the whole day I did only one task… make name tags for the people going for the convention soon… all 400++ of them… damn it lah… the whole morning was spent printing the names… the afternoon, cutting them to size and slotting them into sleeves…waste of a day lah…

But I haven’t really been doing much at work so this is a welcomed change… but let it be the only one… I want to slack abit…. I can plenty many money working plenty little…haha

2 days ago, was my birthday… and I spent it outside shopping for my birthday present… yes, it is the one day I allow myself to spent a fair amount of money without feeling as guilty as I would… sunshine plaza is the place I spent my birthday with Joanne buying overpriced good imported from Japan… if a phone strap costing $18 is not overpriced, I dunno what is… I brought for myself a MSN-O6S SINANJU gundam kit to make at home as well as a gundam T-shirt [yes, I brought a shirt for myself… very rare]the lady with me was more doing a shopping trip for her sister then shopping for herself, though she did buy something for herself… damn the KKnM shop having a sale on the day and it was damn packed…walking around and getting what I want was so damn hard… adding on the fact that I have this huge box with the gundam in it to carry/protect around with me… damn, even getting to the counter to pay was hard… but I guess it was worth it… too her, thanks for spending a day with me… thanks for the gift

Now, on to the 8 hour process of making the MSN-O6S SINANJU… well, it was not 8 hours in one go, it was 4 hours on sat night, 4 hours on Sunday morning… I started at 2100 and it took me and hour++ to make just the body, another hour to make both hands and head, 30mins to make both shoulders and one freaking hour to make just one leg… after that one hour on the leg, it was 0100 in the morning and I gave up and went to sleep, if I were to carry on, the sky might be bright when I’m done… just to note, the leg has 4 layers of plastic and has 5 joints in which to bend and 2 boosters that can bend outwards to show the effect using them…. This is true for both legs… and the waist has the central area and 6 flaps around it, each about 10 pieces to make…

Day 2 in making and 2nd leg and waist were done in about an hour half and back pack another hour… with that done, the “gundam” is done… all that’s left are the weapons, a beam rifle, 2 beat axe, 2 beam saber and a big shield all done within about 30++ mins… that completed MSN-O6S SINANJU is damn cool and big, towering over my XXXG-01W Wing Gundam “Ver.Ka” by almost half… well worth the time taken to make the beauty…

I guess that’s all I can say about my birthday…

before its too late[later than it already is]

happy birthday to me

Again I’m writing this at work when I finally got some free time at 5pm…

Yesterday I took leave from work and went back to school to join in the cca bazaar…as pointed out by one of the teachers; I’m there to… 1. Free fence, 2. Join the bazaar and 3. act as J1… of which I only did 1 and 2… fencing again after a period break really lowered my skills… but then I must train up for the Malaysia trip in march… so more fencing for me in the near future…

But I have to talk about how I sold my soul to the devil [female vice capt] yesterday and threw away my pride and had fold roses at the fencing booth to give out to girls to con/seduce/ask them to join fencing… of course I was not the one giving flowers out, I was the one making them… the other Jr boys were out asking people/girls to join… but to openly sit outside the canteen folding flowers is a little bit over the top for me and I really really regretted it… until, someone [a fellow guy]joined me and wanted to learn how to fold those roses…[yes, I’m not suffering alone] the weird thing is that the numbers of Jrs who sat by me wanting to learn how to fold those roses grew… I count 5 who were trying their best to fold roses along me… but more often than not, they were asking for help than folding reducing the amount of roses I could fold during that time…lol… one thing I must note, even with the same teacher, me, all 5 of them came up with a different ver of a rose… which I must say is quite interesting to note...

For me, I guess selling my soul to the devil was not than bad after all, at least there were others who joined me at the back of the booth [back bench which everyone can still see] folding roses given to girls only, my only reward was to see the smiles on SOME of their faces when they got the rose… for me, that’s enough…

I must also note how many roses were “stolen” by the jr… the girl were asking me if I could make one for them… I can’t refuse can I??? But after yesterday, I have quite run out of green wire to make the stalk of the rose…

Well, I’m now writing this at work at NUS cause I have nothing to do again… these few days at work really made me miss school…a lot. I always have this feeling that I should be studying right now and not on the com the whole day, even if its work I’m doing which is earning me some money…lol

My normal day at work starts at 6.30 am when I wake up for breakfast and leave for work… my mom drops me off at macritchie for me to take 74 to NUS… every morning I see bus SBS995E come and I take it for the hour long ride there including the jams along HC there… fighting off the need to sleep, I wait the hour long ride till I get off… there, it’s a 10 min walk to NUS and the building that I work in… along the way I might meet up with Jia Fu who happens to live there and is also leaving for work at great world city… I must note that SBS995E reaches the bus stop at mac quite on time but reaches my stop at times that can differ by 20mins or more… 2nd day at work, it reached at 7.50am, yesterday, it reached at 8.20am… LUCKY work starts at 8.30am…

Mornings are for me it seems to slack around and wait for work to come to me as my 3 bosses find stuff for me to do… then its working on the com or walk to and fro from the printer back to my table collecting print outs… I now know how damn hard it is to print certs for events…. Every one must check name and date and everything else… wtf… also,there is my "workmate" rishi whom i msg when ever i feel bored or just wanna talk... everyday a few msges fly between us... alot to talk about our own work...hahaa..that’s kinda my work so far and this lasts till 23th feb where I will be unemployed again training for the Malaysia fencing trip as well as for NS…[yes, it’s a bad idea to slack around and waste time like that]

Now, back to the first day at work, more correctly, the night of my first day of work… after work I went to vivo city via 166 to meet up with the fencing jrs for the ALL MEAT BUFFET… I got there at 6.30pm and booked sits that the place… waiting an hour for people to show up is not fun at all… trust me… but when they finally arrived, the fun begins… there is the "coin" given to us with "yes, please" on one side and "no, thanks" on the other to show when we want more meat or not... the deal among us was not to flip the "coin"...the salad bar was what we hit first, but picking up only a little bit, I returned to my sit to eat… than came the meat, after the first, it was a non stop flow of men carrying meat on a stick to carve it off in front of us onto the plate…again they came even before I can clear the last piece of meat…

During the meal, the football match was going on on the tv behind us and we were watching and eating at the same time, it did allow some time for the meat to settle down in us before the next bite… also, we became good friends of sorts with one of the waiters with meat and he would came over and serve us while watch and commenting on the match the was going on… we were betting with him who will win the match… soon, we started to slow down on our meat eating frenzy… the point to tell me to stop eating was when I wanted to eat another bite of rare steak and almost puke it out… than I told myself that I must stop eating… I turned over the “coin” and ended my meal… it was indeed all you can eat and that was all… and I’m not the only one, the others were also starting to feel sick and full… one by one we stopped[some didn’t…wtf]

After we all had our fill, we left and walked slowly[cause it feels sick to walk] to the bus stop to take bus… I took 855 with YC back home… thank god I have this one straight bus home from vivo…
