I miss going back to school! I would never have realised that TP had started the new semester if I never asked nee. BUt it's still feel good to go back to school, despite it's only for a few hours to do project =D
Ah huh! Our favourite coffee shop opposite TP had renovated into a foodcourt-like. SO COOL and BEAUTIFUL. Don't worry, porridge stall is still there. I captured one part of the place.
Ta-Da
I like the cushion seats! It's the best to have a group of BUDDIES to gather around the seat and have a hearty meal.
ME and Boon ordered this Ice Tea with Grass Jelly
It's just like milk tea, with extra grass jelly as topping. But it's cooling drink for just a hot day.
Talking about coffee shops, I seriously do want to appreciate the food there. Rice stall is much more better at those coffee shops, rather than the 'caferia' NEAR my company. The two of us are like serving sentences in jail and don't have nice food to eat! And when we were out having our lunch in coffee shop, we felt a GREAT sign of relief. I miss the RICE STALL in SCHOOL CANTEEN and other food as well.
What the so-called 'caferia' lack of- TOFU, SWEET and SOUR PORK, sometimes BEANSPROUTS, EGGS. My usual order for vegetable rice! I don't know is it because I came 15 or 30 minutes late, so most of the dishes are like EATEN by early bird. So, left those that I don't like.
Poor Me. There isn't much dishes left as well. So, my lunch today was so pathetic.
Actually, there's another place for lunch, which is at NTU. But, sometimes my colleagues never asked if we wanna lunch, or whether we wanted to join them. SO I feel paiseh to invite myself for a better choice of food. OH WELL. Just treat it as DIET i suppose. Haha.
ANYWAY, today I got MONDAY BLUES. I wasn't doing anything today. MY supervisor wasn't around, and I'm not in mood to do formulation. Just feel so tired and want to rest for one day of not doing. Everytime keep doing, my energy will wear out. SO instead, I had quite a heart chat with my colleague. HAHA.
He said MY FACE SEEMS TO BE THE JAMMING TYPE.
Haha. Ya. I got an urge to learn playing drums. Keep wanting to learn how to play. Imagine me playing drums and get rockin'. WOOHOO
Eh, but I don't know if I really had passion for it.
Huh. I failed to keep this 'FACTA NON VERBA' in mind. =D
Before I end, CAUGHT ME IN NARCISSISM act in my office.
in case anyone miss viewing my face. haha

From today onwards, my clothing or labcoat will have stench of oil. No fear, I'm not the legendary OILY MAN on TV that you saw.
Just that, I had been deep frying CUTTLEFISH BALLS.
Interesting ah? It's my so-called mini project now. Get the right formulation and perhaps develop new flavour/colours/improve the ingredients or what-so-ever.
It's fun doing it. But saddening when you see your formulation fail. And I seriously hate that sotong smell. =/
So, today I had been eating at least 4 cuttlefish balls. I had a sudden feel of blood clotting in my arteries, with all those TRANS FAT and CHLOSTEROL. PLus my mother said that SOTONG will clot blood arteries, so it's especially not good for me.
Hence when I ate one sotong ball today, I had the feeling of tight chest, clotted nose. I think it's just PARANOID I hope.
Anyway, I went to drink tea after eating those cuttlefish balls. Tea will help to EXPEL the fats! Too much tea, however, is not good for me too! OH well.

Since when did MRT trains have poles in between the seats ah? I made a so-called shocking observation on train yesterday, when I was on the way to work. Interesting. But it make make the seats beside the poles, squeezy.
Eww... I feel so old when taking the trains. There are so many secondary students. Just make me missed those old days. Secondary students are the most enjoyable period throuhgout the whole education. You see, poly students got to go for attachment, and work from morning to evening. And still, got some projects going on too. Haiz. Now I finally know why adults always say that "Being students are the best."
Working is seriously very tired.
Now my legs are very sour. I just step into one whole box of fresh big yellow juicy lemon. Can you imagine that?! Not just that, my back is also sour from those washing up and everything. I think I'm too kan cheong also. ALways run up and down, make myself to work faster. And today, I think I'm almost faint.
Don't know what's happening to me today. I feel so weak. Maybe I drank TWO CUPS of COFFEE in the morning. One during breakfast at home, and the other from the MacDonald breakfast in the office [that's MY LUNCH]. Immediately after drinking my coffee, I went to the lab with my supervisor to help him some stuff. Take half tub of salt and went up to the second level using the spiral stairsway beside the lift, to weigh the ingredients. UNLUCKILY me, the metal shutter on level 2 was closed! I got to go down the stairways, and took alternative path to the level 2. That is from the exit of the level 2 office which is linked to one of the ENTRANCE of the lab. SADLY, the door was locked. I went the other way, passing through a stuffy and no-air-circulation room, to try the OTHER ENTRANCE of the lab. STILL, IT's LOCKED. Luckily Gracia came in time to open the entrance. OTherwise I would just faint on spot. By the time I struggled my way to the weighing room, I was perspiring like hell, and I immediately ON the air-con which I believe is at 16 degrees celuis [according to the remote].
SO when i weighed the salt, my hands were trembling, and my legs went wobbly. It went on even I finished weighing. AND so, I became weak for almost the whole day and my chest felt so tighted. I was so afraid that something's wrong with me, and I kept praying all the way. OMG.
Moral of the story :Relax la. So chiong for what, despite knowing my own situation. Later I fainted, no one knows. And also, never drink more than one coffee a day.
I shall remember this day. Freak my heart and brain out of my body. Arrgg.
________________________________
OH YA. Today don't know what happening too. I keep running up and down the stairs in the office. Eveyone was in the meeting. And just nice, the PUB uncle came to check the eletric meter. I need to ask one of the collueages for the key. But he's in meeting! So.....
Cleaning auntie: You just go up and knock the door to ask for him.
Me: Orh. [So, I went up and DON't dare to knock coz the BIG BOSS was in there. I stoned and peeped inside. Everyone looked so serious la! Hence, I went down again]
Me: Auntie, they having meeting la. They look so serious. Don't dare to knock leh.
Auntie and PUB uncle: Ai ya. Just knock and said you need to look for MR So and so. Then can le.
[I went up again. FInding my courage. But still, Haiz. I called Charissa and asked her how. And she also don't know. After a few minutes of 'HOW AR!?', this moment finally came.
ME [knocked and door. and spoke FIRMLY: Sorry for the interaction. May I look for MR so-so.
PHEW.. So I got the keys. WAIT...not done yet. He told me where is the PUB meter, and I still don't know where. Hence, I went around looked for the meter and realised, it's just near the main gate.
Haiz
Crazy Tuesday.

Finally, my SIP has completed the FIRST WEEK. Time flies so fast.
Today is also the last day of PC, Max and Siska [hope I get her name right]'s attachment in the company. I only managed to work with them for just one week. In fact, I started to mix around with them from Wednesday or Thursday onwards. Through this short time, it's fun to know them, at least there's a company to mix around with and perhaps they are there to guide us abit about the company.
This is something that they gave everyone in the office. They are SUPER sia. Spend the whole night making this =D. so sweet of them, and plus I only joined them for a few days.
It's abit sad that I'm going to have any chances to work with them anymore. I was beginning to feel comfortable mixing with them, they are leaving the company. Haiz. This tells us that we have to treasure everyone at every moment. Haha. I'm slowly mixing with the other colleagues. At least there are two or three that I'm able to so-call chat with them I supposed. Let's hope the future weeks will be better and I'm to mix with them like what PC and gang did.
Well...I began to feel worry somehow. Haha. Because the triples are so ACTIVE and they were able to treat the colleagues like friends. I wonder if the office will be VERY QUIET after they leave, especially our cubicle. I think we will be very quiet. And everyone will just feel weird. OH NO~ I think I better be more OPEN and TALK MORE, at correct time duh. haha.
As a update for my dear friends, I'm getting some work, washing equipments and stuffs. TIRING though. But it's better than sitting in cubicle whole day without doing anything. IT will just make me uneasy only. And DEAR FRIENDS, I don't have to catch fish la. The only live fishes are those KOIS in the pond. HAHA

Jia Wen is BUSY in her SIP. Everyone seems busy.
Yet, I'm BORED and doing nothing.
First day of SIP, I concluded, FEAR AND WORRY. These two are something that keep wondering around in my mind now.
I don't know is there something wrong with me, something wrong with my EQ or communication skills. I think I can't communicate. Or rather, I don't dare to communicate. SP students are also in the company doing their final week of SIP. I keep seeing them, seems to be so occupy. And yet, I'm sitting in the office cubicle. Not knowing what to do. I asked my supervisior before lunch if he got anything for me to do. He says no. So well, I just sit and read the thin copy of fish processing bookfor several times. After lunch, I stonned again. Look at that book again. ONly till around 2pm or so, one of the colleague asked me to help the others to do some 'spring cleaning' in the chemistry lab.
And after that, I back in the cubicle AGAIN.
FIRST DAY OF SIP. ANd I feel I ruin the impression. I don't know. BUt I feel I'm not interacting with most of the colleagues. Except for the introducing session which took place, in the early of the day.
I guess I just need to reflect on my interpersonal skills.
Hope tomorrow will be a better day.

YES! SIP is tomorrow. I'm so nervous yet worried.
So before I get busy [in any case], I shall update my blog FIRST!
AH HUH! Yesterday was just another mentoring. A REAL SHORT one! Because we were having a short mini party for the birthday boy and lady (:
So we had lots and lots of FOOD! I just get excited when there's food. HAHA
Jia wen just like me to grow fat. Keep giving me cookies and stuff. Tsk Tsk. haha
We did something that is SERIOUSLY DISTURBING and perhaps IRRITATING. And, the inspiration came by when I saw one of the mentiee doing that. Our purpose for such act is to purposely irritate our friend. So let see what we do.

A picture speaks a thousand words. (:.
No need further explaination for this picture. Haha
Familiar sigh eh?
The mentiees around us went 'Wah say! Jia wen so fierce sia.' I agree with that. HAHA. She had one picture that looked really frightening.
This boy is my mentiee, Hareez.
I spotted a few pictures whereby the owner editted picture of clouds into something like mine. So I decide to try. But...the effect isn't as good though. =/
Hm...I don't know what pictures should I post. I can't think of any special caption, because I'm too hungry to think! SO...I'm going to eat my dinner!
Others pictures are in my multiply
lalala
SIP tomorrow =D

OH GREAT. Food SAFETY is killing my newly-grown BRAIN CELLS that had just recovered from the last examinations. 3 days to complete one PBL TRIAL package. That's crazy. At least 4 days is still reasonable.
SIP is starting on next monday. SIP seems even more scary after all those long briefing. What POLITICS, nasty boss.
But the WORST is, my workplace is at LIM CHU KANG! You know how far is it? It's almost near the Hay Dairies. I think I can just bring my passport and go shopping at Johor. Haha. And destiny really loves to play me. I'm doing something with FISH. Ah~~~
Oh well, we have to enjoy what we are in now. Ok. I just have to accept and change my mindset. YES I LOVE FISH!!!
...
I think I'm able to foreseen the next 12 weeks of busy days ahead of me. Phew~

Sentosa trip was an exciting one! Always been wanting to have a ride on the Sentosa Luge and Skyride.. and weehee. I rid it!
Anyway, yesterday trip was because of my father's company. It's sort of a family day outing, so the outing shall be at Sentosa. We went for the family package, so the attractions would include 2-way sentosa monorail express, Sky tower, 4D matgix and luge and skyride.
Well..It was a sunny hot afternoon. And I don't know what's up with Vivocity. There was SO MANY PEOPLE. my goodness. So we struggled our way to level 3, and took the Monorail. And it looked like this.
It looked like bullet train. But the speed is FAR FAR slower than bullet train. The one below is taken when we were going back to Vivocity. There were so many people. There was this LADY behind me. I supposed she is a tourist. MY GOODNESS She is so rude. When the monorail came, she said to her fellow friends 'Come on let's give a push.' And she really gave me a HARD PUSH. HELLO! This is not a labour room. PUSH your head. She is bigger size than me and a MISSED step may just cause my life. goodness gracious me! Never mind. Those are such rude people in the world.
Anyway, we stopped at the Imbiah Station. And the first thing we saw was...
It needed to cost us $8 for adult price [unfortunately] just to see the view. Oh well. We had better CHOICE than the Merlion. Much much higher than the Merlion. So, sorry. we skipped Mr. Merlion. No wonder he was so angry to 'roar' at us for not giving him 'face'. And luckily my brother was able to escape in time. Hahaha.
So, what's the better choice?
Ta-Da..
SKY TOWER
How GOOD can it be!? 360 degrees. Merlion also can meet that. But..move yourself lor~ We just need to sit in the AIR-CONDITIONED Sky Tower and we got to see the whole view of Sentosa I supposed. Haha.
These are what you can to see.
Paiseh la. I took videos instead. SO I only have these 3 pictures. We are taller than Merlion also~ Hehe.
Next we proceeded to the 4D Matgix. The film that was airing was called 'Pirated'. Basically, the man at the door will pass you a normal-looking toy-liked specs, which will give you the SPECIAL 3D effect of the show. You will see bees flying in front of you, binoculars popping out of the screens. So why is it 4D. I supposed the other 'D' is, the effect of WIND, rocking effect of the seats when maybe a person can knocked/hit by something, string-like thingy, tickling your legs when crabs are crawling out. Oh ya! shooting some water onto you when a person splashed into a pool of water. Fear not, you wouldn't get wet. hehe.
I got no pictures for this section of our trip. Just...only my brother's FACE.
Ah huh~ Now Luge and Skyride. This is so exciting!! I just love it. IT's seriously very very fun.
We have to ride the luge, before the skyride.
I think we were very lucky. Buy TOTO wouldn't be that heng. Just a few seconds after we started our ride, it started POURING! So, we ride in the rain. And I think I'm just too high. I kept shouting to my brother and when it started to rain I just shouted 'OH MY GOD! IT's RAINING! WOOHOO!!' Till my brother can't tolerate me and he asked me shut up. And I think I'm the slowest rider. My parents, including my mum who were behind me, suddenly just zoom by me. Haha. Anyway, it's REALLY REALLY very fun. Coz of the rain, my whole family were totally drenched. OH ya. The most irritating thing was that, the rain stopped when we end our ride and wanting to proceed to the skyride. haha.
That's me, at the second attempt of Luge, when the rain stopped. I almost created a flipping stun at the corner. I was TOO FAST! And that BLUE BULKY HELMET. It feel like it's going to fall off anytime. So, my head is small. HAHA
Uh HUH! This is the Skyride. I just took it while waiting for the Luge. I got the photo of us sitting on the ride. The people are money-earning mind. Place a camera in one of the tower and SNAP us! SO we will buy the photo at $10 if we want. Haha. But it' ok, coz we can keep it as a 'saviour'. I'm not going to put that photo here. COZ I LOOKED REAL 'BLUR' INSIDE. SO UGLY.. hehe.
By the time we finished, it's like almost 5pm+. We had to reach the restaurant by 6.30pm when the dinner would started. Dinner at The Terrance Restaurant [Sentosa Resort and Spa]. That place is kind of high-class, but we went in half-dry. Oh well.
The buffet dinner was...OK la. What attracts me was the DESSERT! There's chocolate, chocolate fondue and cakes. I was so ATTRACTED by those delicious lookings ones till I never took noticed of this fake plant decoration in front of me, and knocked onto.....the tip of the leaves. Hehe.
SO....I seleced some nice looking ones. And I got THIS!
The mousse looked delicious. But I was fooled by it. IT's bitter -bleh-
But the fondue is nice. The white thingy, which it think it's marshmallow [it don't taste like, coz it's really very soft], melted in my mouth with the chocolate coated on it... Mmmmm...
Another closed-up. HAHAH.
Lastly..
Haha. My brother refused to take photo. This guy, willing to take with his friends, but when requested to take with him, he would take very measure to cover his face. HE'S NOT CAMERA SHY OK.
-The END of SENTOSA TRIP-
I shall by back to school tomorrow for Food Safety. And I'm going to know my SIP location on TUESDAY. Man. I'm so freaking worried. But excited at the same time. Wish me all the best~
