Gathering

Friday, December 30, 2005

3 months has passed since we last meet each other, out last meeting was during teacher's day this year, before that, we were all on our own.

After graduating from primary school, I had lost contact with many of my good friends and I had regretted that, that's why I'm keeping close contact with those who were dear to me during secondary school now, I did not want to repeat the same mistake again...

Anyway, although only 4 people turned up for the gathering, but we still enjoy ourselves! We chat about all those classmates whom I had lost contact with, those days when we play catching around the walls at the side of the basketball court etc. It was shocking to hear that quite a few of they had turn astray, some became more feminine! And there was this very close friend of mine whom all of us had lost contact with was heard to be passed away, that hurts me greatly. Looking at the photo that we took during our graduation party when we were primary 6 brings back lots of fond memories which in the end makes me feel more awful and sad.

I remember that she contacted me during secondary 1 or 2, and left me her hand phone number which I still kept in my phone book, right till now! Therefore the day before the gathering I tried my luck and SMS her,

"Is the owner of this number Farah?"

But there was never a reply, not until now. I told one of my old classmate about it, she said something which made me more sad...

"I still got Farah's number in my phone book!"

And she replied...

"That number might not even exist now..."

Ya, I never called, I just merrily smsed her and there was no reply, my head started to pop out all kinds of reasons, maybe she has changed her number? Or did she give the wrong number?

Or did she really pass away...

Well, I had asked my friends to help me to ask around for her news, but none of them did. Maybe they are really busy with their life or something, but I really hope that after reading this, you will know why I would love to know of her whereabouts so desperately now.



Well, this are the photos we took during the gathering.

What is Marketing?

Saw this e-mail...


What is Marketing?

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, "I am very rich. Marry me!"
That's Direct Marketing

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says,
"He's very rich. Marry him."
That's Advertising.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and get her telephone number.
The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm very rich. Marry me."
That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
You get up and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and compliment
her hair.
You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it,
offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich "Will you
marry me?"
That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
She walks up to you and says, "You are very rich..."
That's Brand Recognition.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, "I'm rich. Marry me"
She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
That's Customer Feedback.

I could have gone home early yesterday! Because I thought that Merrill was his last day at work, so decided to wait for him, and i have waited for one and a half hours!

When he was release, he told me that he’s not going to quit as it seems that his manager has given him 4 days off! Well I am not envy or what, but I am quite sick of my job already. Transferring me here and there; I even suspect that I worked for free for a few days! But there’s nothing to worry about, because I am currently hunting for jobs again. Worse come to worse work in McDonald lor.

In summary, McDonald's offers
- flexible working hours
- annual leave that increases annually
- comprehensive medial coverage
- insurance coverage
- service recognition awards
- free meals

Well, it seems to offers attractive benefits for their crew, but does anybody knows what the pay is? I don’t mind the pay actually, what matters is the experience gain =D

This is one of the many lame stuffs I drew during my free time =D

Kids...Part 2

Wednesday, December 14, 2005

Ok ok! This is going to be PART 2!
And this is definitely a 100x more fun as it’s also edited by me, GeckoZ!
*eViL… GrIn…*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that when I post my last post, surly I will get “shot” by readers, and I agree that these Kids have their own freedom of how and what to blog, but I am just commenting about it! People also have their rights to complain right?

Got feedback from some readers as well as from my sis, I am going to add more points to my older post.


11. I know that girls love small and cute cute stuffs, but is it necessary to even set your posts in small small windows? It’s a torture for others to read! Imagine that you have to click and click just to read a post, it’s annoying you know? This sort of blog turns me off the most!

12. Song! Everybody has their own favorites, but what I don’t get it was that all this kids loves to play their favorite mp3s and midis in their blog! Once is annoying enough, but all these songs just keeps on playing on and on, non-stop! I can’t even enjoy my own music from my jukebox, and my Windows Media Player, and my Friend’s Blog, and my… erm.. never mind. Anyway! I don’t find the need to show them off, it’s not like as if you are a FAMOUS DJ who is famous for playing a single song over and over again, so just shut those blogs up for other people’s sake for once!

13. If you have noticed, there are blogs that contain a wish list! I know that Christmas is round the corner and all of you have really been “good” boys and girls, and hopes that Santa will give you digital camera, puma jackets, LV handbags, etc, I thought Santa gives toys?!?! Pleases, if you want any of those, BE PRODUCTIVE by working or saving and get them YOURSELF, they just don’t drop from heaven! People won’t buy those for you unless if they are your parent, steady or sugar daddies, so stop DREAMING!

14. Once again, some irritating cute cute stuffs found in blogs, Gif pictures! E.g.

I know that they will make your blog BRIGHT and LIVELY, but all those blink blink makes my eyes blink away from your blogs! I find it irritating rather that lively and bright! So please, give both my eyes and other reader eyes a rest!

15. About entry problem, there are kids who love to blog long posts, but in these long posts, they are just beating around the bush. If not, then they had mange to blog down every single detail in their lives which happens to be the same as other ORDINARY day! (Which means that the post seems similar everyday), eg. Today went school....did nothing....listen to teacher teach...so boring. When bell ring everybody so happy, so went home....then still got test tomorrow, so boring...still got homework have not done...how? Later teacher scold...die...gtg...byezzz. I have no idea of which person in this whole wide world won’t get sick of reading similar posts over and over again everyday! Please be creative!!

16. There are also stupid irritating Kids who love adding silly good-for-nothing emotions like “hahaha..”, “wahahahaha”, “muahahaha” at the end of every sentences for God-knows-what purposes! Hahaha… They are simply writing it for the sake of writing, lol.. without really brings out how the hell happy they really are! Muahahaha…. Crazy bunch of irritating silly kids! Hur hur hur hur hur~~

17. Some silly people even have PASSWORD PROTECT FOR THE SAKE OF FUN! I can’t understand how fun is it really is. Every time your reader enters your blog, it automatically prompt for the silly password like “I love Blah Blah Bladdy Hell”. As a friend, I find that bothersome too, although I respect your wish to protect it from your family or your rival too, for some childish purposes. If you find that fun then just set that as your other account password as well, that would be fun for the readers! There’s no Private in the Public blogoshpere at all! Keep it in your Microsoft word to keep it private.

18. Annoying things like snowy effects and falling leafs. Nothing can be more annoying then this! Every time u read a sentence, a few words would be covered by the dropping effects created by stupid JAVA codes came out from another silly people. It’s a waste of time waiting for those pictures to uncover the text and for that, you have to wait throughout reading the whole post! Apart from that, it’s holy distracting. Give me a break.

19. Too large or too small fonts size are another silly idea out there. We are not blind folks that need you to magnify a 100x of a normal text size. And neither are we having a small-like-bed-bugs eyes, we don’t need you to cramp your fonts together so that we are able to see the words without moving our head too much.

20. Pop-ups that keeps popping out are irritants, not just advertisement pop-ups, but also pop-ups carving “~+~ Hug’zz Me In Your Arms Thight Thight Forever ~+~”. Nobody likes childish stuff like this on every entry to the blog. And don’t the blogger HERSELF just get tired of it every time SHE enters? Yeah, I’m stressing “HERSELF”, and “SHE”, only girls do such things.

21. Lastly, I hope. If your tag board aren’t working for most of the time, CHANGE IT.


PS: It’s your blog contents that is important, not any of your “Special Effects” that are neither special nor unique in any way.

Kids...

1. sTicKyCaPs. I HaVe No IdEa wHy ThEy LoVe tO wRiTe lIke ThIs, sO IrRiTaTiNg lOrX, I dUn eVeN kNoW WhAt tHe hElL ThEy aRe wRitiNg aBoUt, aNd tHeY aRe So pROuD Of It lOlx ~

2. Are kids today having grammar problems? Or did teachers teach them to write extra letters? For example: todaee horr, thatt teaacherr verii thee cb lehh.. keepp piickiing on miie iin class.. ii dunn liike herr faccee lorr… Or are they blind or what? Can’t see that I there, so there’s a need to add an extra I? If you really can’t see, please go and get yourself a pair of spectacles in case if there’s this need of adding more extra letters in words in the future!

3. After grammar, comes the vocabulary problem. Can’t they just spell properly? Their you = euu, is = ishhh, blog = bloggie, cool = kewl, me = moii or meii, etc. If they really want to be inventors pleases invent some extraordinary words that are not being found in any dictionary instead of just changing their spelling! No wonder our English standard is dropping, hAiX~

4. In...most...blog, they love... to do...this, they....did...this...so that....their...posts...will...look longer. If...they write....until like...that...then...I suggest...that...they...might...as well....don’t....update...their...blog. What’s...the use...of writing....lots...of..craps with...lots of ...............

5. Everybody is talking about project superstar! I know that they will be their future idol, but is there a need to paste them all around blogskins? If that’s the reason then I advice this people to paste them on walls and offer them joss sticks and pray to them! Just a simple blogskin will do right? Is there even a need to paste all this idols everywhere?

6. Next is the color contrast. They love to have all sorts of bright bright blogskins, and their posts are filled with bright bright fonts, it’s really irritating because I need to highlight them in order to read all this posts! I wonder if they have special eyes that allows them to filter off bright bright colors? If not why is there a need to make your whole blog bright bright? This kind of blog people will never give a damn about them!

7. As we know that blogs are public diaries, but I have no idea why there are people who love to use this “Anti right-click” Html. It’s not like you are a supermodel or what and people are stealing all of your pictures. If you don’t like other people to steal your pictures, then don’t post them! As easy as that. By the way, whenever there’s something which captures my attention in a blog whose owner blocks my right-click, I my ways of getting them!

Way 1. Use the “view source button”

Way 2. Use Firefox, it will allow you to right-click even if the anti right-click html is on!

These are some useful ways to copy people stuff even if they don’t allow. Enjoy copying!

8. No matter it’s a guy or a girl, they love to “show off” their like and dislike. Take for example, lots of them love: chocolates, ice cream, toys, etc. And dislike: back stabbers, KPKB teachers, alone, liars, perverts, etc. I wonder what makes them so different from others? Who love back stabbers, etc. Only them?


9. Cliche lines. Have you notice that they love to quote "it takes a minute to know someone, an hour to like him, a day to love him, and a lifetime to forget him". It’s so unrealistic! An hour to like someone! You must be joking with me man! No wonder there are so many “innocent” girls who proclaim that they have got cheated! Please la…life is not that simple as an hour to like someone or a day to love him! WAKE UP!!


10. I bet that there are people who think their life is a messy and everything, for example "my whole life is in a mess... family, friendship, career... i am beginning to hate myself... i am sad and lonely... when will i be able to find the right person to save me?" Please this is YOUR life, not other people’s, and you will have to save your own self instead of “Ohhh…my Romeo come and save me from all my suffering!”

WAKE UP, WAKE UP !!!

Creepy

This is some scary poopie right here relating to 9/11
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) the tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11.
6) the date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Unconvinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
What do you think now!?!




Hey this is really very creepy! But what does all this 11 stands for? Anybody got any idea?

Work

Happy Birthday Sher !!


Start working 3 days ago, although it’s only 4 hours per day with not an attractive pay of S$3.50 per hour, but I did learn a lot from it!

Currently I am waiting for my pass to be done so that I can transfer back to Terminal 2 as well as changing a new working environment, trying out other kind of jobs so as to gain more working experiences.

Actually I got a lot much to complain about passengers while they are checking in, but better keep for myself incase I got sued =X haha, well think there’s nothing more to blog about, will update when I have more interesting stories or experiences to tell.


(So sorry that I can’t attend any of the BBQs I promised, but I hope that you guys will enjoy yourself.)

Collage

Discrimination!

Saturday, December 03, 2005

Went for job hunting this past few days and there's one thing I must comment about! Went around Bugis for the past 4 days and I saw that there are quite a few shops recruiting people, but lots of them has a minimum requirement of 18 years old and above. I know there’s nothing wrong with that, but for so many days already and yet there’s nobody was willing to work there! I don’t understand why they just won’t lower down the requirement to 16? They might have some stupid reasons…

Reasons:

  1. They suspect that we might steal their items?

  2. We are not mature enough to sell their items? (Crap!)

  3. We will create havoc when nobody’s around?

  4. We did not reach the legal age to work? (Please…this is the worse!)

  5. We can’t handle the work stress? (Since when did they care?)

All these reasons don’t make sense at all! Someone better tell me what stuffs can an 18 years old do we cannot? Are the only jobs left for us are promoters and waiters? So damn pissed off by all this discrimination!
