I got my first job!
As a furniture mover in some ooh-luh company in Tuas (thank god for company transport!). First day was hard since the company literally have everything all over the place so, my colleague and i have to hunt high and low to find the piece and bring them to the display, and arrange them according to the pictures they gave us.
And the pictures wasn't taken very well ¬_¬"
The second day was only tiring for the first 4 hours and i start work at 8.30 am to 6 pm. After our lunch break, we slack all the way as the supervisor was away and then we realized, "Hey, they are paying us $5.50/hr to do nothing!" then we proceed to laugh our asses off and slack for the next 5 hours x)
Anywho, i got hurt on my first day and the bruise is still on my left forearm, reminding me of my first job. It was awesome but i only earned $72 for the 2 days. :(
Yes, my job only lasts 2 days. It's weird since it's only 2 days and they want us to sign a contract xD

The 411 on the breakdown
I cracked.
I don't know how one word could cause such massive damage, it's funny how breakdowns happens when you least expect it. And that you didn't know you've lost it until it's over.
I guess all the pent-up feelings has finally came out, overflowing the dam i've constructed around it.
Yes,
I've crumbled.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - New Zealand's high school students will be able to use "text-speak" - the mobile phone text message language beloved of teenagers - in national exams this year, officials said Friday.
Text-speak, a second language for thousands of teens, uses abbreviated words and phrases such as "txt" for "text", "lol" for "laughing out loud" or "lots of love," and "CU" for "see you." The move has already divided students and educators who fear it could damage the English language.
New Zealand's Qualifications Authority said that it still strongly discourages students from using anything other than full English, but that credit will be given if the answer "clearly shows the required understanding," even if it contains text-speak.
The authority's deputy chief executive for qualifications, Bali Haque, said students should aim to make their answers as clear as possible.
Confident that those grading papers would understand answers written in text-speak, Haque stressed that in some exams, including English - where good language use is specifically required - text abbreviations would be penalized.
Post Primary Teachers' Association President Debbie Te Whaiti said the authority's move reflects the classroom situation.
"Individual teachers are grappling with it (texting) every day," she said
Teachers would have concerns if text slang became acceptable in everyday written language in classrooms, she said.
Critics said the National Certificate of Educational Achievement or NCEA, the main qualification for high school students, would be degraded by the authority allowing text speak use in exams.
The minor United Future Party said in a statement: "Untd Futr is cncernd bout da xeptnce of txt spk 2 b allwd in ritn xams 4 NCEA (United Future is concerned about the acceptance of text speak to be allowed in written exams for NCEA)."
"Skoolz r ther 2 educ8 + raze litracy 2 certn standrds (Schools are there to educate and raise literacy to certain standards)," the statement quoted United Future legislator Judy Turner as saying. "NCEA shudnt let da standrd b decidd by informl pop cultr of da time."
High School principal Denis Pyatt said he wouldn't encourage students to use text abbreviations in exams - but he was excited by the language development.
"I think text messaging is one of the most exciting things that has happened in a long time. It is another development in that wonderful thing we call the English language," he said.
Internet blogger Phil Stevens was not amused by the announcement. "nzqa(New Zealand Qualifications Authority): u mst b joking," Stevens wrote. "or r u smoking sumthg?"

Can i just say, algebra is evil?
Maths and Social Studies tomorrow and i'm totally screwed. I'm still somewhat hopeless in algebra and polygons and mode, mean, medium and basically, everything.
SS was not touched for almost a whole week and i have 4 hours to finish the whole book 3 and 4 tomorrow.
Isn't being a candidate for O level just FUN [/sarc]

Where will you be one year from now?
As you know, i'm leaving the goddamn school this year. It's really depressing to think about that cause you'll be all alone in a new place. It's like you're restarting an old game, you have to do all the annoying quests again, retrain all your characters, get all the ultimate weapons and all the stuff, and it sucks.
Sometimes i delude myself, I keep thinking times will never change, i kept on thinking things will always be the same. I'm afraid of what is out there for me when i leave this goddamn, forsaken place. I want to bring my friends along but they wanted to pursue a different track from mine. Jw and Js wants electrical engineering, Cs wants business, Dor wants fashion (i think), Aini wants nursing, Kavidha wants fashion too. Only i want to pursue Mass Com. It's not that i'm blaming them or anything for taking different courses, i'm happy they want to pursue what they want but it's just, I hate being lonely and having to restart everything again. I feel so pathetic and emo now.
Can we really think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that this would never end, and suddenly it's like we're women and men. Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this school?
