A special entry for someone so dear to me..
.
Today marks our two year anniversary. An accomplishment I would say, but not without sacrifices and a lot of compromise. Seriously, I never expected our relationship to last this long initially. At this point however, I would be devastated if this relationship does not work out. That's how drastic my perception towards our relationship has changed in this couple of years. Alhamdulillah, things are going on well between us now.
.
I remembered feeling down and depressed about this same relationship months back. Boy, I'm glad we made use of that 'space' to internalise and rationalise the situation and salvage it in time. Past experiences definitely make us more mature in handling present and future circumstances.
.
Here, I would like to express my gratitude to dearie for trying his best to be as perfect as he could be in my eyes. Though I may be hard to please at times, your persistance in trying to brighten up my day made me realise how lucky I am to always have someone layaning my kerenah. Remember, I asked you once if there will ever be a time where you're just sick of putting up with my crap. I hope your answer remains the same..hehe
.
Now I see, what love means..And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love, somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

Yay! Hady Mirza was crowned the new singapore idol! All my smses voting him didnt go to waste at least! No doubt, it was a tough match between hady and jonathon. Baik ah melayu angkat for two consecutive years. But i hope the community will not perceive that malays are only good in the entertainment arena only. Let this be a stepping stone for us malays to prove our worth in other areas too.
.
Its the second day of ramadhan today. I reached home in time to break fast. Dropped by watsons to shop for some toiletries. I spent close to 70 bucks there. I tell you, I can go crazy over the things at watsons.
.
Tmr, I'll be meeting nasz to break fast together after school. We're going to have just a simple 'celebration'. More on that in my next entry.
.
And the NIE portal is down again. What the hell!

I will not be blogging much these coming days or weeks. Piling assignments is one thing. Another thing is that my laptop crashed!! I'm so down and pissed at the same time. I got so mad that i told my dad I want to get a new laptop. But it depends if my old laptop is beyond repair. Just when i thought that my account balance looks nice, I will have to start saving from scratch if I'm buying a new laptop. If I think of getting an expensive one la.
.
Anyway, I could breathe a little more this weekend since there isn't any assignment due next week. Nevertheless, I'm hoping to start on my ed psyc essay tmr. Trying to space out all my assignments so it won't get too cramped when there's more than one assignmts due within one week.
.
I'm baking brownies later..hehe It's for my mendaki students tmr since next week will be my last session with them. We can't celebrate next week cos puasa already. Anw, the plan was to get cakes for them but I thought it's quite troublesome. I have two classes mind you, and I'm not going to carry two cakes early in the morning la. So, i decided to bake brownies instead. And I'm sure its more economical and yummy too..haha
.
Well, I gtg prepare some things for a role play for History tutorial next week. Have a great weekend!

I hate the feeling of being sick. Cos i can't get any work done. I end up sleeping most of the time due to the drowsiness. I was supposed to have completed my ICT assignment by now. I havent even start typing it out..haiz I just hope to recover soon so I can get my assignments done according to schedule.
.
I got a phonecall from raffles medical customer support just now. The day before, they sms-ed me asking if I would recommend their services to other people and I blatantly replied "no". Didnt expect them to do a follow-up by contacting me. So the person asked why I gave such feedback. I explained to him the kind of service I got when I went to the clinic at tampines junction branch last wednesday.
.
I wasnt satisfied at all with the service that the clinic assistant provided. Being a first-timer visiting the clinic, I wasnt sure of the procedures as where to place the doctor's prescription and all. So, after my consultation with the doctor, I politely walked up to the counter and asked the assistant where should I place the prescriptions. Wah, she ignored me la, didnt even acknowledge my existence. She continued staring at the computer monitor and typing away. The second time I asked, I raised my voice a bit cos I was very pissed already. Given my sick condition, coughing and nausea, she was clearly testing my patience. Lucky she responded the second time I asked. Then, I noticed another person who walked up to the counter to make an enquiry. She replied w/o any eye-contact, "Sorry sir, I'm very busy typing some important data. Could you hold on?" I was like what the hell, we all do respect that you are busy with your work la, but you're working in the service line. Customers do come first ahead of other things. What is so difficult about spending like 5 seconds answering the query? So yah, I told the customer support officer about my experience and he went on to ask if I could identify this person involved. Truthfully, I cant remember her name or the colour of her uniform. But sad to say its a malay la. And I think there's only one malay clinic asst on duty that day.
.
Nash and Idzy also shared their experiences with bad customer service they had at Levi's and pasar Geylang. Sampai suruh boycott that kedai yg jual tudung near the pasar..haha But seriously, the customer service in spore is generally bad. There are few exceptions, but yeah, generally bad. So those who are thinking of working or already working in the service sector, pls la, treat your customers warmly despite of your bad day. If you can't dissociate yourself with your personal life, better get a desk-bound job where you don't meet people. Really.
.
Oh yah, on a happier note, nasz passed all his modules in his recent semestral exam. So proud of him. So b, don't say you cannot study ah..You just proved that your brain is not berkarat yet..hehe I'm glad to say that he didnt do badly for his maths module..cos I'm his maths tutor mah.. wahaha

Ok, this time around, I'm really having a fever and flu. Felt terrible man. Woke up with a headache in the morning. Told myself, I'm going to take MC today, which i did. My first MC eversince I started work.
.
Yesterday, I drove to school. Had only one lesson in the afternoon, so I asked my dad if i could use the car. Met up with nasz after that for dinner. We headed to simpang bedok and that was when I started feeling quite sick, sore throat especially. I think the tom yam soup we had made it even worse. Well, I was out with nasz till about 11pm before I drove him back and drove all the way to changi to fetch my dad from work. Quite a peaceful drive though, unlike during that evening.
.
I think nasz was terrorised by my driving..haha. He said I drove like F1 driver. But seriously, it was not my fault. I was going to enter PIE at the jalan bahar road when a stupid bugger refused to let me filter lane despite my signal flashed. I was like come on la, i need to change lane cos im in the lane heading towards KJE. So what i did was I sped up and sharply overtook the bugger's car. What happenned next was expected la. The bugger hooted a long horn. I didn't care. He thinks what, I'm a woman driver, so can bully is it? Sorry sikit eh.. Dah la his car smaller than mine, then got the cheek to road bully me. I was damn pissed off la. It was dangerous of me to do such a thing cos the road divider was quite close, but I had to follow my instincts. If I know I'm not confident doing such stunt, of coz I won't do it. So what I'm trying to say is i hate male chauvanist drivers!!

Had a fever last night. Westlife fever..haha ok, lame.
.
Finally, me and ain got to watch them during their face-to-face concert yesterday. Free tickets courtesy of berita harian. However, we both agreed that if we were to pay for the tickets, the concert wasnt worth going. That came from once true blue westlife fans, ok..haha
.
Well, credit should be given for their showmanship. Better dance moves though it might appear cheesy and so merepek at times. But hey, they tried. Esp Mark, who looked so fat now la. I think deep down, ain still loves him eventhough he's a fat and self-declared gay! wahaha
.
The concert ended with an encore around 10pm. They used their old trick saying concert over and all, but we fans are smart ok. They did another 3 songs before ending the concert. Indeed, it was a tiring day, with my ear drums literally drumming! Berdesing telinga after that!
.
As if screaming our lungs out at the concert wasnt enough, we had another encounter where we had to help a drunken lady who was lying semi-conscious by a quiet roadside. Our giuess was she was dumped there. That one, I shall let ain to do the describing cos she's good at sensationalising these kind of things. She doesnt work for the media for nothing, you see. So, maybe u guys can read about that from the makin menjadi girls blog..haha
.
ok, gotta get ready for nisaa's kenduri. Have a great weekend people!
