17/8
yay. finally went ktv yesterday, after a long long time.. think the last time i went was with the team at chinatown.. think it was liting's 'farewell'.. got to suntec at around 7pm.. went around shopping, hoping to find nice new black shoes.. but to no avail.. saw some nice clothes at gg5.. but i couldn't reason with myself to spend that kinda money on their clothes.. ya know.. they're nice.. but i dun think i'll spend like $60 on a top la.. oh and i gotta add that i kena suaned by my maid.. she says there are not enough hangers at home to hang our clothes bcos '[I] keep buying new clothes'. sigh.. i only bought a few tops and a few bottoms k.. how's that gonna eat up the supply of hangers at home?
anw.. back to the topic.. ktv-ers were ber, hj, sc, da and me.. maybe too few ppl so it wasn't THAT fun.. or maybe it's cos i dun really know sc and da v well.. it was quite interesting to see them though.. at ktv, sc and da were like direct opposites.. da will sing.. like occasionally.. but so soft u can hardly hear her.. sc on the hand is the i'll-sing-watever-u-dian.. in the end finally heard da's voice a song u'll never expect.. it was lin jia yi's umm... dunno wat 微笑 song.. can't remember the title.. but i luv the chorus.. goes something like.. 你走吧，我不哭无论多痛苦.. something like that.. it wasn't the lyrics that caught me.. it was the melody.. sounds v xiao sa.. haha..
anw we left at like 12.. got home around 1230.. and though i was so tired i had no choice but to finish the soup that my mom boiled for me.. and it was a darned big bowl la.. i think it's probably like 3 rice bowls worth of soup.. and it was so hot la.. took me like half an hour to finish it.. (that just totally robbed my of half an hour of sleep la)
this morning i was so tired i jus din feel like waking up la.. actually if i came at 10am no one will say anything la.. there's only me n fl here today.. but i feel v paiseh to leave her here alone la.. yeah.. so just had to peel my eyelids open and get on with the day..
here i am now, writing my blog and drinking yam milk tea.. so super full now.. pearls are awfully filling.. so is milk tea.. ah..
well the time now is 2.37pm.. this post is gonna say it's posted at nite or something.. why? cos i dun haf internet here.. damn poor thing.. it's quite sian one.. i can't even dial up cos the stupid phone line here got no dial tone.. they even put a phone here.. dunno what it's for.. and i think irc really killed my writing la.. i can't write a proper sentence now with the proper punctuation.. no more caps.. no more fullstops.. just plenty of ellipses.. (ok that was supposed to be plural of ellipsis.. i duno whether i spelt it correctly.. cos now it jus looks like the plural of ellipse.. )
i guess i'll just end here for now.. i think i can really ramble.. this looks like one page worth of words.. used to be darned difficult for me to just churn out two pages of essay..


18/8

it's another sleepy morning! and i'm feeling ultra fat today.. the fats on my tummy are pressing against each other and it feels UGH!i think part of it was due to my meeting yesterday.. it ended at 10pm.. and our WD was v nice.. she prepared green bean soup and 'beh teh soh' for us.. i was still full from my heavy dinner.. but no choice.. cannot reject.. so i ate.. n drank.. yeah so maybe that's why im feeling bloatedly fat today.. (i mean i usually do too.. but today's just worse)
yeah and so i got home at like 10.30pm.. took my shower etc and watched healing hands at 11.45.. think it ended at 12.30am.. and I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING AFTER THAT. but i didn't! i had to get out of bed and go online.. why? to submit my darned cpf statement.
now, i gotta tell the whole story from the top to show u wat's so darned about thing thing..
on the 6th of july i happily went to u*b to apply for my credit card. fine. i din have all my documents with me so i just filled up the application form. some time later (say a few days), i called up their call center to ask them for the fax no to fax my docs over. and i also asked them if a promotion letter would suffice. they said YES. and so i faxed it over.. happily thinking they'd do something about it..
the NEXT WEEK, i received a call from the darned CARD center asking me whether i'd like to send in my docs! i'm like WAT?? ok.. did the necessary explanation and moved on..
a few days later.. the darned CALL center called me to say "hi, we've received ur promotion letter. WHAT IS IT FOR?" wah lau! what's their problem? and may i remind u that i DIDNT just fax it in one fine day. i called them up to ask them, and i faxed it in "attn to someone" and she said she'll inform the relevant dept. SO SHE DID.
FINE. so i thought we clarified matters and i continued to wait..
waited and waited til they sent me a letter saying that THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE RELEVANT DOCS. i'm like.. wah lau x 2. called them up and the person said i've my cpf statement pending.. WAH LAU. PLS LA! if u need my cpf stmt tell me from the start!!
fine. so i went to submit my cpf statement online..
and it was another round of waiting.
waited and waited. and i got another letter DATED 10 AUG saying that my cpf stmt IS STILL PENDING! wth.
i was so darned pissed i called them up again... and what happened? nobody picked up the freaking phone even after 15mins. heck. so i decided to call the next day. so this girl called ch******* took the call.
told her i already submitted my cpf so whats the prob. guess what she said? if they sent u a letter it means they haven't gotten it. pissed me off! so i said i've submitted it and i HAVE A RETURN RECEIPT. she: or can u fax or post it overme: i've already submittedmy stand is clear. i'm not gonna do any extra work for their own inefficiencies.
me: and i've waited for v long. so what's the probshe: the sys says u applied on 26/7. it's been only 3 weeks. cos normal processing takes 2 wks.
well at that pt of time i couldnt remember when it was that i applied. but 3 wks sounded long enough anw. (actual wait time was SIX WKS btw!)ok la! so u're trying to blame me now la! my fault for not being able to wait la! my fault that i sent out my stuff and u din receive it la!
anw i was so adamant that they go check it out themselves. why shld i do double work if their depts aren't communicating with each other? fine. so i gave her my no. and asked her to call me to update on the status..
that was tuesday. i waited til THURSDAY and no one called me. wat to do? i had to pick up the phone again. interestingly enough, i called and this ch******* picked up! so i was like.. i din get any reply from u. she said SHE TRIED TO CALL BUT THERE WAS NO ANSWER. crap la. i din get a single missed call from her la.fine. in the end gas wat she said? they haf to click on my cpf submission (or some similar crap) to receive it. apparently they din click on it in time and it expired.wth.
AND so i submitted it again yest. sigh.
WHAT'S THIS COMPANY'S PROBLEM??
now i give them 1 wk to approve my appln and send me the card. or im gonna call to scold them again! ugh.
