Hum-De Yah!

Just about 10 notes make up the Discovery Channel's ''The World Is Just Awesome'' song. If you haven't heard it, try to go find it cos its a very cheery song and you can totally add in your own lyrics to make the song yours! I've done my version of it and I love it! Hum-De Yah!

I've been quite fortunate to have a ''work-one-day'', ''off-one-day''... work wek. Last week I worked Mon - Wed, off Thurs, work Fri, off Sat, work Sun, off Mon. Hee! And things have been going just great at work. I'm learning more about my job and my colleagues and they're really starting to grow on me. I've been a bit narrow-minded about things lately and that hasn't been very good at all. From now on, gonna keep an open mind and make things better! :) I spent Sunday half by myself and half with Karm and of course, it was fun with her around! Had lotsa laughs with her and the keepers and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Hum-De Yah!

Off day today and spent it with... mum of course! Some people might find it weird that I spend so much time with my mum, but she's really fun and why not? I get sponsored for stuff too! HAHA... Also, if you're that comfortable with someone, why not spend a lot of your time with them? Hee... We went to Orchard Cine today. Watched a R21 show called Pathology which stars Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes. Its quite a lot of nudity and definitely the most blood I've seen in a single movie. And not that unnecessary blood splatter in gore movies, but since its about a bunch of pathologists (those people that perform autposies), its all about blood coming out when you cut up a body. Its hard to describe, but I like the way it was done. And how the actors can truly act so casual about it all. You certainly gotta have an open mind when you watch it, and preferably and empty stomach! But, we had lunch at Chicago Steakhouse before that and a pleasant lunch it was. Cool music and not too bad looking waiters! We even got a free coffee on-the-house because we were ''very nice and patient customers''! After the movie, went to HMV and bought Jason Mraz DVD, Queen DVD and a Prince Caspian making-the-movie book. Pleasant off day... of course! :)

HUM-DE YAH!

What Matters Most

If you're having a crap day at work, you just gotta keep in mind of what matters most to you. Family and friends and happiness are what's important to me (also I'm working on me a lil bit). And on my off days I spend time with both and they help me re-focus! :)

On Sunday, I went out with the girls that include my poly peeps: Kal, En and Shereen. The 2 small ones didn't join us, but we had a blast anyway! We met up at City Hall, walked to Marina Square, ate at Swensen's, watched a movie (Journey To The Centre of the Earth again) and walked around. I bought a pair of ked-like shoes and a book that's titled ''Don't Go To Work On Modays''. Perfect! (Well, the reason being that a lot of people get heart attacks and die on Mondays) Its this book full of fun and interesting facts... Then we just hung out a lil more, bumped into some of our GV seniors and went home. Although I did have to go to work the next day, that Sunday really helped me keep in check of what's important in life. :)

Of course, we took some goofy pics and had some laughs...

Mum struck 1st prize on Wed and when we went out on Thurs, I finally got a new phone! Finally done with the N80 that keeps hanging and giving me all sorts of problems! I got a Samsung Soul, and here it is...

Btw, I've decided to name my camera Violet... HA.

Overdue Post

Singfest

Singfest was a blast! Had fun with my sis and her friends and remember that famous person? I got to meet One Republic! My sis' friend won some Levis thing to meet them and he didn't want to go cos he wasn't a fan and my sis suggested me! So I got to the waiting point at 6.30 and only got in their tent at around 7. We went in, shook their hands, I gave one band memnber a hug cos he saw my ''hugs not drugs'' shirt, the lead singer wasn't that nice, and it was all over in 30 seconds! I'm not exaggerating! We left earlier during Alicia Keys to beat the crowd and only got home close to 1. I had to work the next day... So altogether quite fun and Jason Mraz was the best one! Hope to go to next year's one! :)

The wrist band and tag that I have to wear

During Jamie Scott. He wasn't that fantastic...

The Past Week

As I said in my previous post, there are some interesting things that happened. I was asked to do the other token trail and learn the elephant show! A show! Geez, hopefully I'll be able to learn it in time... :)

Alright, there are some nice things that happened the past week though. It was a rather good week spent largely with Karmilah. She's so relaxed and fun! Anyway, here are some work pictures...

Me trying to immitate the polar bear picture. I know, pretty similar huh? Polar bears are cute! Except when they're killing stuff...

And this is Adeline. Real fun girl to hang out with. I have lotsa fun with her and Karmilah... :)

August 9
It was one of the most fun national days I had. Woke up at around 9.30, mum and I wanted to go to breakfast at Swensen's but that would mean that we'd have to rush, so we skipped it and took our time to get ready. We took a cab to Great World City, bought tickets to The Love Guru, then went to have lunch at Kenny Rogers, walked around, bought lotsa stuff, then after the movie (which wasn't as good as I thought it'd be) we walked around some more, bought some groceries, had dinner then went home. It was a very fruitful day and we certainly splurged our paychecks! :) So here's what we bought....

All the crazy stuff we bought! I bought Queen, Beatle and Jason Mraz. Mum bought Jazz, Blues and French! Haha... We bought a mug and Nike sports bra for sis. I also bought a plate and owl, and the most interesting thing... An Olympus camera! And its purple!!! It was so unexpected and I needed a new camera anyway! My mum payed first then I'll be paying her back over the next few months... Haha... Mum rocks!

And these are the little tidbits we bought. Most of which is cos we didn't see them before and the packaging was real nice! Hahar... :)

No Worries..

Long time no update... The next time I do it'll be a major one!

Singfest was awesome! Jason Mraz was my favourite... And I got to ''meet and greet'' one famous band... Can anyone guess who? Hee... Will update with pictures next time...

Work... a few interesting things hav been happening. I also have some new pictures from work! Also, I have the weekend off... YIPPEE! Do you know how rare that is in the zoo??? Especially when it is National Day too??? Haha...

I do hope that everyone else is well... I have phlegm and cough and almost everyone at work is sick... urgh. Take care! :)

Sunday off...

Finally, a Sunday off! YAY! Next Sunday i'm off too cos i'm going to Singfest! One Republic, Jason Mraz and Pussycat Dolls, here I come!

Was supposed to meet the 4/5 gang on Friday night, but was a bit sick. Then had to work on Saturday, so had to go home and rest. Urgh... Then on Saturday, I basically had to work the whole day with a sore throat. On some feedings, I had to shout, and my throat was so itchy! I even coughed during my polar bears! But, managed to make it through. Gotta say thanks to this new girl who helped me carry my bag when I was feeling weak.. thanks! Yup, there are new people again. I think only 1 of 2 will be able to survive. Well, at least I proved to myself that I can stay! Recently I took a new punch card too. Who knew I would be taking my 3rd one? Haha...

On Friday, I bumped into my cousin-in-law Wendy at White Tigers. I haven't seen her in so long and I had to take a second look to be sure! She was there as a parent volunteer with her son, my nephew, Glenn. No luck in finding him... So we had a nice chat and took some pictures! So finally ya'll can see me in my full uniform!

My sis and her boyfriend are taking this cooking class now. It's real expensive, $200 per class, but its a small class and the tools that they proide are real cool. So each week i'll get a sample of what they've learnt. This week, its some chocolate pastry along with jelly. YUM! :)

So I'm updating as I watch Monster House. Absolutely cute show. One of the main characters is called Chowder and the chinese subtitle for his name says ''ai chi gui'' as in ''love to eat ghost''! Funny...

Woke up at 8.20 today, ate, played Sims and now I have to go prepare for another day of work. Off days are just too short man...

Update on my day off

There's been a lack of pictures on my blog recently, so I've decided to finally put some work pictures up...

Here's Karmilah and I right before Jungle Breakfast. We were waiting to start so i decided to whp out my phone and take a picture...

And here's a picture of me taken by Nizam, who came in the same time as me, just 4 days later. I didn't expect him to take such a close-up picture, especially after walking around all day (look at the shine on my face!), but the point was to see my name on the pacer (like a walkie) cos I finally got my own! And on Sunday I got my own earpiece as well! :)

Things are going alright at work. Most of the keepers are quite fun and I like the interaction with tourists. Recently I encountered a german girl who was a fan of hte german football team too, and a real cute girl came up to me and asked me where the ''money shop'' was. She was asking for the ATM... :)

Yesterday was my day off too. I wanted to go to town to try to get some accessories which was uneventful, but mum and I bought a whole bunch of DVD's! She struck 4-D again, so we bought I Am Legend, Eastern Promises, Dan In Real Life and Step Up 2. Mum bought a CD for herself. Before we did that, we went to Hip Diner and I ate a LOT! I eat when i'm happy so I had a sausage-thingy, milkshake and an extra mashed potato. I was FULL! Then I met my old senior Chan Wai Keen! Real pleasant surprise... We also went to watch Wedding Daze starring Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher. It was rather entertaining but wasn't a well made film. The editing was kinda bad and the script, although funny and entertaining, didn't have a whole lot of depth. I recommend it if you just wanna have a laugh...

Hope ya'll are doing better!

Ho Hum...

Who'd ever thought I'd be part of the working crowd? Not me...

My life now = work+home+off day+dunno what to do with off day

Recently I had 3 off days in a row. On the 3rd day I didn't know what to do... Haha... So, I spend most of my off days with friends, watching movies with my mum and playing Sims. Exciting huh?

My internet system was down, therefore the lack of updates. It still is down, but we installed Hubstation and I can use that to surf the net, but at a rather low speed... Hubstation is cool! Just set the time and it'll record for you to enjoy when you come back! Total cost almost $200, but highly recommended...

So I watched The Dark Knight on Thursday and I loved it! Heath Ledger was AMAZING! Really, the performance of his career. Just sad it was probably his last... You rock man! The film was rather long, but it was enjoyable, kept me on the edge of my seat and the music was fantastic. Highly recommended... :)

Take care and have fun everybody!
