Too much freedom & time on hand

Okay, I suppose I can give out more information about my job from last week. Basically I was an event helper at the 3rd Singapore Symposium on Casino Regulation & Crime. Pretty heavy stuff.

Not everyone there was serious about it. The guest speakers and some of the audience members were all sitting upright in their seats but there were some who were dozing off blatantly. I am just going to assume they were really tired and sleep deprived. Otherwise, I don't think it is appropriate as representatives of your company, to just take off into lala land like that. Some were even worse, checking Facebook, Twitter, and whatnot, playing Candy Crush even for long periods of time.  Excuse me but people flew in from America, Australia and other foreign countries for this conference, and you being a Singaporean are just sitting there twiddling your thumbs and playing with your phone? I really didn't want to judge but this made me very disappointed. But like I said, this was not the majority. So I am just shocked by the few who did this. Like, take your job seriously people.

The Australian representative was really nice :) He thanked me and the girls on his way out on the last day for the hospitality. We were almost too stunned to reply.

ANYWAYS, after the conference was over, Danielle, Seetoh, Wendy and I went for dinner at Eighteen Chefs at Tiong Bahru Plaza.

It was my first time eating there. According to Wendy and Danielle, Eighteen Chefs is a social enterprise. Apparently the chefs are ex-convicts. I am glad that such social enterprises exist because it gives these people who once strayed away from the right path a chance to return to a normal life, where they can feel pride in their work and earn a living. :)

I must say the food was delicious. They provide a lot of cheesy food items. As a cheese lover...I APPROVE. I got the student meal, which is quite affordable at $6.50. You can choose between cheese-baked rice(there are various flavours to choose from) and pasta(with many different sauce toppings). I chose the pasta since I haven't eaten pasta in a long time, with spicy tomato sauce and chicken sausage. The meal included a drink (iced lemon tea for me) and ice cream(OREO!!).

The four of us also got one plate of cheese fries and shared it(because it's always good to split the calories). So all in all, it was a very filling meal and I couldn't even finish my pasta. :( Definitely a place worth visiting again and again. Oh and the cheese fries we chose was double cheese. OH MY GOSH. IT WAS SINFUL.

Woah I really think I am going to miss Danielle and Seetoh (I get attached really easily) even though we only knew each other for two days. :( Wish them all the best for their As. :)

Went prom shopping with Judy on Saturday. In the end I didn't get the THE DRESS I found the other time because I found another THE DRESS. Hahaha. I don't think you will understand what I am talking about unless you read my previous post. Ran into Zhiqi and her mom while at H&M!

A lot of us seem to be buying the same colour of dress. Dang it :/ Oh well, doesn't matter. I swear Judy and I are going to look like twins. Just that one is shorter, darker and fatter (me). xD We even unknowingly bought the same colour clutch xD HAHA.

Went for an interview on Sunday. Money is good but it is commission based so it doesn't seem that appealing. Maybe no. Monday was really tiring because I ran around with my mom doing annoying things like paying bills and fixing her broken phone. Don't you just hate such adult-ish errands? Get used to it Jaslin, you're going to be one soon.

Also, mailed my application form to NUS. For an admin job, not an university application xD Pay is good!!

Today, I bought my accessories for prom and went for another job interview at Raffles Place, in the Standard Chartered building. First time entering the building, it is very impressive, I must say.
A recruitment company is situated there and they promised to sign Mabel and I up for a job that can earn us even more than the NUS one! It's an admin job with Singtel. Sounds good. :)

We have to wait for them to ask us to go down for an interview though! AND we have to pass the interview. This job has a lot of competition for it. But I believe I can make it? :) Mabel too! The interview might be anytime this week!

After the interview, Mabel and I ate at a North Indian restaurant called Nalan(purely vegetarian) It seems to be very popular, the place was packed!! Got a set meal for just $5.35 and man, it was hot, spicy, and finger-licking good! Only regret is not trying the Lassi and the Laddoo. D:

Beautiful tree

Mabel eating Briyani 

Me with my awesome food! 

So excited for prom tomorrow! :) Although I am kind of nervous too :X If you are not yet in the mood for prom, listen to the following songs/watch the videos. I swear you will get the mood :D
JUST TRY. To me, at the end of the day, even if you don't have that special someone, prom is meant to make you feel lovey-dovey. LOL. Not lonely, but lovey-dovey.

And if you don't want to feel lovey-dovey but just excited, this is the song for you :D

That's all for now! Will update after prom :) Toodles~

Movies, getting tickets to concert, and watching a play

Tuesday:

On Tuesday, I had to accompany my mom to Bukit Timah to buy some furniture for our house in the morning. After that, I came back home and Brielle and Wendy came over to my house to watch movies and catch-up. We watched a scary movie first, at Brielle's request. It's called The Sixth Sense. Let me rate it. 4.5/5. :) I really liked it cus the kid in the movie was so cute. I wanted to hug/squeeze him. And the twist at the end was awesome! :) Totally unexpected unless you already read the Sypnosis like Wendy did. LOL.

After that we watched Mean Girls. That movie never gets old. Anyways, Brielle hadn't watched it before. After the movie Wendy and I were like "Welcome to our world. You may finally know how it feels to be us. Stuck among all these plastics." We ate a lot of snacks while watching the movie. :( I worry that I may resemble a hippo by the end of this holiday. 

I always love it when Wendy, Brielle and I come together. 

Wednesday: 

Wednesday was a busy busy day. Had to wake up at 8.30 and start preparing to go to Marina Bay Sands (MBS). So Chin and I met up at 10am and took the train to Bayfront station and we found the Sands Expo and Convention centre really fast. We thought we'd get lost. The queuing up for the tickets for the concert would start at 12pm and Chin and I arrived with at least 10 mins to spare. Contrary to my beliefs, the queue wasn't as long as I thought it would be. We were told to queue up according to our surnames. And I was the first one starting with P. It was pretty hassle free. :) Here's my ticket. :D

After that Chin and I went to the new shopping mall at Buona Vista. It looks nice from outside but I didn't really like it inside. :/ Not a very happening mall. I still like Jurong Point better. 

And then after that I went back home to shower and change clothes and then met up with Brielle at Jurong Point to take the train to City Hall. We were like, the first two audience members to arrive. xD We had to walk around and talk crap to entertain ourselves. Wendy arrived just before 7.30pm, which was when the play 4sterhome was supposed to start. My class girls, Zhiqi, Shamira, and Mazi had yet to arrive and it was raining! Since a few other audience members where also MIA, the organizers delayed the starting time to 7.40pm and the girls made it! :D 

We all got to watch this play for free thanks to Nurul, who was involved in the play. So thanks Nurul! :) The play was really awesome. It started out really intense and it talked about issues like cutting, bulimia, depression, wanting to die etc. I'm sure it struck a chord with everyone there. In one of the scenes, two of the actors did this really intense contemporary dance that left me, Zhiqi and Shamira covering our mouths as we gasped. Haha! Let's just say there was some violence. 

Towards the end of the play, the play got more humorous and the audience had a good laugh. I am so glad I didn't listen to my mother when she told me not to go for it. xD The adults aren't always right. :P 

Afterwards, Brielle, Wendy and I bid the other girls goodbye and we went clubbing at Clarke Quay.

JOKING. HAHA. We walked around the streets of Clarke Quay and talked. And Wendy laughed like a mad person. I still don't know why. HAHA. Then the other two had dinner (I was too full to eat) and then we set sail for home. It was such a beautiful night, and the river view was so breathtaking that I honestly did not want to go home. 

Reached home at about 11.30PM. :X 

Wednesday was really an awesome day, I must say. :)

Thursday: 

Planned to go gyming and then study with Ru in the afternoon. But the plan was foiled by my mom who needed me to go places with her again. -.- So I went to Boon Lay to do grocery shopping with mom and then to Hong Kah. I HATE grocery shopping. >< What a boring morning. When I came home I could have gone out with Ru to study but in the end I had a splitting headache so I took an afternoon nap instead. 

Woke up at 5pm and realised that An's flight must have left alr! I cursed under my breath and scrambled to text him goodbye. He didn't reply so I must have missed him. Damn :/

Ok now I'm going to rant. An went to Vietnam, Brielle is going to Hong Kong this Saturday, Jessica is going to Japan with our school's guitar club, Limin is in Auckland, Quan is also in Vietnam, Rennes is in China, and Yvonne is in Perth. :X And I am stuck in Singapore. Can't wait for after A Levels, I wanna go overseas!! 

Ok, I'm done ranting now. Shall go and watch TV. Think there's a new movie on. :)

Toodles. :)

Last day of school!!

Last day of school baby! :) 

Today was Ms. Aisha's last day at school so our class presented her with a board that has all our pictures stuck on them as well a personal message. Mr Ang is also leaving next year so we also prepared one for him. 

After that I went to IMM with my mom and met up with Wendy. We window shopped there and then went to Jurong POint to continue shopping. Mom went home on her own. I tried on this dress at Cache Cache and fell in love with it. I shall lose some weight and then go and buy it next month. PLEASE WAIT FOR ME DRESS. DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE BUY YOU. 

Somehow my legs are aching a lot from all the walking around. I am such a weakling. :/ Anyways, it's the Lit retreat tmr!! Can't wait!! :)
