Random musings (or lack of).

haven't seen much worthy to blog about, thus the lack of updates.
as a matter of fact, i'd actually wanted to blog/rant about my experience working at canon.
but on hindsight, it's been pretty much some time.
still, for the benefit of readers (or lack thereof), i'll just include the gist.

when i think back about canon, all i really have to say are the people who make up cspl (canon singapore pte ltd).
so i shall take a character analysis (a la literature) approach.

s*lee - my mentor of sorts. because she was leaving, therefore the reason i was called in as a temp staff. she's really funky, fashionable and young. oh well, much of what i'd learnt was thanks to her. after she left, i was left holding the fort for her portfolio. and honestly, like her, i loved my job. really i did.

g*ng - undoubtedly one of the best friends/colleagues i've worked with. she tries alot to help me out when i was overwhelmed with all those hotel bookings. but now that b's taken over my work, i really feel for her when b is such a horrible worker and g sometimes has to clean up after b. ):

stella - my fellow temp colleague who came in on the same day as me. but tendered after a week cos she couldn't stand her. spunky and no-nonsense.

nelsie - another temp staff who had been there even before stella, fabian and myself. she always seemed quite and heck-care to us. but later on, she revealed more of her ahlian/tomboy self. hehe. oh and she's really pretty too. (:

fabian - the only thorn among us roses. resident temp "kengster". he also shyly denies it when we harp on the fact that he's her favourite boy. lol. super narcissistic/egotistical and likes to take breaks which he claims is his "patrol duty". the object of much teasing and amusement, nonetheless, he was really fun to have around.

r*ho - sweet and unassuming, she always has something nice to say about everyone. but seriously, we all think that she's overworked. she's saikang dept's resident ot-er. one of my best confidantes/colleagues after s* left. (:

wk*tan - she too started work the same day as stella and i. the only diff that she was the new admin exec. haha. sometimes gets harrassed non-stop by her for unimportant work too.

a*yeo - aka her. boy, where do i begin? bah. in all the short time i've been working at the saikang dept, i concluded that her specialisation was in shooting emails and arrowing people. and to match her specialisation, she's super fast in typing! -.- bahhh. well, i don't think i will go into details at how pissed/irritated i was with her. most times, she does not know what is going on or what we do. tends to chase us for stupid, tirvial stuff when we have more urgent things at hand. one of the worse of her trivials is asking us to print things for her. (i.e. a single document) doesn't it make more sense to open the file and click print herself than click forward, type "hi dawn, pls print. thanks." and then click send? snorts.

b*lam - another long story. seriously, she's the first i've met of her age group who's super hiao and hiong. and she thinks matter-of-factly that she still has what it takes. honestly, if she really does, how come she cant handle a simple thing such as sending an email? she was my under-study for a while before i left. cos she was the perm staff taking over my portfolio. for all the experience she was bragging about, i seriously wonder about her capability when she calls me practically everyday! -.- i personally loathe her style of working. there're only 2 words to describe her work attitude - it sucks. oh, and she's a bloody heck of a good boot/ass-licker. snorts.


there you go, the gist of my short stay at cspl. (:


and quite recently, i'd caught asian boys vol. 3 : happy endings with zhi, dee and sk.
a pretty provocative play, both literally and physically if i may say so.
a pity the 377A red tank tops were available for sale. else we'd have each gotten one for ourselves. ):
oh, there was a kiss scene which drew scattered gasps of horror/shock/outrage from the audience, esp this china woman seated in front of us. and we were like, wtf?
erm, you're watching a play which is dealing with homosexuality. what do you expect?
kindly get a grip.

transformers is easily one of the best blockbusters this year. (:
die hard 4 i liked too. never mind that small bit of maggie q. i like her nonetheless. (:
despite what critics alike and others said, harry potter and the ootf was not too bad really. i probably like the movie better than the book cos at least the ending's not so angsty and bleak?
marie antoinette (which i caught online), i'd expected it to be better, coming from sofia coppola. sadly, its was uber boring.


school's re-opening soon.
somehow, i can't wait. and on the other hand, i don't really want the holidays to end too. ):
talk about fickle-minded. snorts.
pretty excited cos i hope i get the jap and accounting module i opted for.
and this semester, i guess i really want myself to work hard and make sure i do well.
no more skipping lessons crap and bothering about them.

i'm dreading the end of the holidays too.
because that would mean i'm one step closer to the exams, one step closer to being an adult, one step closer to graduating from uni. ):
i know it sounds abit far-fetched. but really, i don't think the fact can be ignored for long. the start of this semester is euni's and huifen's final year! and so it really means: we're growing up.
sigh.


i know i've told myself time and again that i will not be bothered by the matter.
but you know, sometimes things just come back to haunt you right? even after they're long gone?
like now, i wonder again why i bother regarding them as friends.
you claim we're friends. but how many times have you ever tried to keep in contact?
you cannot say i didn't try. i did my part; i tried texting, i tried communicating. all i got was a dead tone, a no-reply.
am i to blame? i don't think so. funny how you might say you're busy with work. aren't/weren't we all? oh but you had time to meet up among yourselves. right, busy.
so don't come around blaming me that i am distancing myself, not taking any initiative or opening up and what-not. i consider my reaction a reflexive one. go look deep into your conscience who's really been the one distancing. you have no right to cry that things cannot go back to being the same or that you've lost a friend because she decided to abandon you. you did the abandoning, not me.
or if you say you did not abandon your friends, well you didn't exactly treat or treasure her as one. you treated her as second fiddle. so she did the 'abandoning' first. what right have you to put the blame on me?
