ok i'm actually quite tired but decided to come blog because i haven't written anything much in awhile. I'm actually on a one week break now, next thurs will be going back to cover another person at IBM in their accounts dept, then i'm hoping to get this more long term (6 months) computer technician job. ha. wish me luck.
On a random note, i'm v upset with the cheese fries price!
Cheese Fries used to be 90 cents upgrade for your sides, now it's $1.70?!? Like totally ridiculous? It's like paying for another side la! Can someone tell me where to buy nice microwave fries or sth? Then i'll just go buy some cheese dip or those bottle kind, then make my own!!
anw since i'm rather free now, (for the week)... i really feel like performing some street magic!! haha. i've been playing around with my cards alot and i think i got my routine pretty solid. Now i just gotta work on the actual delivery and impromptu reactions.
Cos yknow, different audiences react differently, so i have to adapt quickly to make the performance enjoyable and suited to them.
I've actually had this thought since after O levels!! i think that was the time i was really into magic and i learnt the bulk of my tricks (which i've forgotten half already)
But my own personalised routine i still do sporadically over the past 4 years la. (omg i dunno where the word came from it just flew out of my fingertips. it means 'randomly' btw.)
Ok i think i'm off to go practise my routine more. i shall leave you with this nice long performance by this funny old guy

The Kiasu Poison
after just a few days of work, i'm very annoyed by kiasu singaporeans. No, these people aren't found at work. at work they're polite, courteous people who hold doors open for others and smile and greet each other in the morning.
i think there's some toxin in the Singapore air. The Kiasu Poison. TKP. The moment these people step out of their offices and start heading home and inhale TKP, they transform and mutate into ugly abominations.
When the train comes, (or even if it isn't) they begin to move strategically towards the yellow markings that indicate the different entrances. Those with some level of resistance to TKP just stand behind the demarketed line, but inch as close as possible.
Those who are badly infected stand in the MIDDLE of the freaking zone, desperate to be the first one to board the train. Are they stupid or blind? People need to come out right. Oh yea but wait, TKP neutralizes the senses, it just makes you want to be first, to be comfortable, to be selfish.
When the door opens, they RUN in. I've seen some ppl LITERALLY run for the seat, it's almost comical. Then as they sit there snug and comfortable, TKP surges, making them blind too. It doesn't matter if there are elderly people or ladies standing near them. No, they need to be comfortable what! standing on the train is VERY tiring , especially with TKP weakening the body.
I think we are in need of some antidote. Legend has said that a particular curly-haired man with yellow boots holds some antidote in his Repelling Anti Poison formula. I think the government actually released some of this R.A.P at MRTs all day long for a period of time, and i think it actually helped the situation abit.
But as all bio students know, virus (or bacteria?) develop a resistance to such things over time. So i guess now, TKP is immune to the R.A.P and still plagues all commuters.
So i guess i'm stuck with having to stand on trains for my commuting, since I've actually a strong resistance to TKP due to my inoculation of Caustic Orange UV Rays Through Enormous Sharp Yawns when i was a little boy so i don't behave in such an embarassing manner as the infected.
Ok, time to go and start mentally preparing myself for work tomorrow and plan all my activities and make ample calculations so that i can finish my work fast tomorrow.

work work
ah sorry i've been rather inactive lately.. (who am i saying sorry to? i think i know who read my blog.. about 5 ppl? ha i dunoooooooooo)
just started work this week! I'm working at IBM @ Expo .. yes, freaking far, 1 hour journey everyday. maybe i should try taking a bus.. heard it's faster. but then i'm scared i'll be late. hmm.
i'm covering for some person.. i think her job is 'accounts assistant' or something like that. there is ALOT of things to do. I understudied her for 2 days, and i already have 7 pages of notes of what to do for this and that. AND i'm not entirely confident of doing everything by myself. cos it' s very complicated!!
need to cash in cheques (have to remember which banks for which cheques.. not easy), prepare various forms.. respond to emails .. etc. literally a dozen different things that can and will happen.
AHHHH.
hope i dont screw up (too badly) this week.. when i'm on my own.
-shudder-.
