Working.....anyone????

haiz....have been invited to blog in this page but had nothing to write at first...for three months..i hav been thinking wat is interesting to write about until today......................cannot wait to tell everybody..

tada.... since i cannot afford to study in private colleges (although i can get full scholarship based on my results), i went out to SS2 to look for a part-time job to get on with my life......but to no avail..no one wants a fresh form 5 graduate who onli wants to work for 3 months...so i decided to contact my other poor friends about jobs available in the market.....

...and so i contacted hui xian...she said she is working in MEP (Meeting and Exhibition Planner Sdn Bhd)... i didn't reali get the name at first.. it sucks anyway... i asked her bout the pay and she said (censored) bucks a day... (censored)BUCKS A DAY!!!! i was stunned instantly by that amount....and she said that i must hav tough fingers coz the job is all bout typing..... She asked me to call Kia Sheng coz she said he is the so-called "leader" of the temp stuff..

....With high hopes.., i called Kia Sheng and asked him to "hire" me.......(let's skip all the phone conversation).. on Monday... i went to the company's premise in OUG, drove there coz free parking... went in and greeted the fat boss' sister "Yoke Leng" which is oso fat...., so i thought OMG no leng lui how to work.... KS (kia sheng) showed me my com and sat down.. he then put a pile of bonuslink application form on my desk, then ask me to type those forms into the com for their database.... he said "must reach the target of 325 entries in 1 week's time"

anxiously, i started my typing and was reali "piaing" so hard that my fingers almost dropped...and manage to reached the target in three days time ..(of coz la..geng mah)
At first, earning the bucks was really back-breaking...but when time goes by with practices.. it seems to me that 325 is sap sap sui... i can even type extra 100 entries a day..oh yea, forgot to tel u guys that extra 50 entries a day is (censored)bucks(bonus) so it's like heaven workin in MEP....

Oh yea... 12 other ex-CHSians working there... so very fun...oh yea.. forgot.. the working shift is from 7.30 in the morning till 3.30pm... so basically it's like goin to school except getting paid.. 8 hours of working.. but spend 1 hour talking and 1 hour lunch and 1 hour MSN.... so it's relaxing..satisfying ...and brain-rustying job.. except for our maths improve coz everyday need to count entries... after working for three weeks, i started to notice many leng luis in the company... dunno why the boss only employ leng lui... the only reason i can figure out is that the fat boss wants that type of figure and is willing to pay to admire that hour glass body shape....lol

As i said that my company... i mean the company plans event, meetings, exhibition, roadshows and conventions for various companies in kl such as Microsoft, IBM, samsiung, Nestle.......list goes on... so the company is constantly busy and need lots of temps for their events.... that is when opportnity strikes.... on 27, 28 ,29 March.... Nestle Sales Convention was held in Stadium Putra.....tell u guys... it's a very big convention 2000 people from all over Malaysia flew to KL for this... they are then seperated into 7 different hotels in KL...... i was in charge of the Sarawak Branch in Armada Hotel and Kia Sheng was in charge of the Johor Branch in Pearl International Hotel.. 4 people in charge of 1 hotel, including me and KS... wow... 300+ pax per hotel man...work from 5am till 1 am....... but the good news ....we r able to check in the hotel as well... manage a take a hot bath and some nap before the next big day.. oh.. the pay...(censored) bucks a day.. not much for such tiring job...like labours..run here run there... attend to him to her..... getting them on the bus....help them woith luggages...help out at registration counter....make sure they get their goodies bag and nestle Ts... and make sure they don lost their way... like rusa masuk kampung...
tell u man.... managers acting like children in KL... overgrown monkeys...2 bad they dun hav a big red butt 2 show off....

The sales Convention was really awesome...big applause to MEP multimedia team... the presentation was accompanied by videos and music... i recommend the song Stand Up(for the champion) by Right Said Fred.. very motivating when u all r feeling depressed... The stadium was literally divided into half, one portion for the stage for presentations and the other half was tables for lunch... imagine 200 tables align in the stadium... wow.... jsut cannot imagine such a plan could act work.... let's not talk bout it anymore...it will take another 1000 words. the convention ended with a dinner in Sunway convention centre with Jaclyn Victor as main performer..... main stage



spectacular...isn't it gala dinner at Sunwy Convention Centre
Next event....Smart Kids event held at PWTC.. first we act as if we r working for nestle... now for Microsoft.. hehe... well, we r supposed to be in charge of the Microsoft exhibition booth.. promoting Microsft Windows XP Starter Edition... so wat do u expect.. whole day standin g there running games to attract kids to the com.... let them like it and asked their parents to buy... that's our mission... although eventually failed becoz they onli managed to sell 24 coms.
we had 30 coms in the booth.. when we free... the whole scene was like at WCG (Cyber cafe)
...every temp staff sitting at the com.. playng... was scolded though by karen lee(another leng lui) i was act quite impressed by the way they design the booth.. with Microsoft logo colours as their carpet color and table color... lazy to describe, imagine urself
.. oh yea... the pay was (censored) a day for three days... that was the reason we were alwiz noisy in the lrt on the way bac home.. thinking bout the money we hav earned that day.... me at registration counter

a scene in WCG winners with their buddies

P/S:not much description coz pic tells a thousand word..... writing this with KS beside to help remember details

Project work

Right...I'm supposed to be researching my pi but i just can't seem to get any good ideas...ok...for those who don't know it, pi stands for prelim idea which is part of Project work which counts for 11% of A-levels grade here...this yr's topic is momentum and tradition.In momentum, you're supposed to find a development in a particular field and write about how you can keep up that momentum...eg. development in public transport....idea...build more comfy seats with inbuilt vibrator alarm clocks so u can sleep and never miss ur stops....tradition requires u to i dentify a paticular tradition which exists till today and readapt it to benefit society in general...k...know this is suppose to be individual but i can't get anything going and i have to hand this up by next week...would appreciate if anyone had something to say about it that can hep me out in anyway....on a sidenote...here are two of last yr's pi which required students to study something in nature and readapt it...i found them quite...ingenious

1. Ionize the air to conduct electricity to elecrocute and kill crows.Purpose: to minimise sound poluution caused by rifles

2. study the components of fart to see what good we can get out of them..hopefully able to contribute to an alternative energy source

MARDI GRAS @ TEMASEK

Mardi Gras!!
is really an art festival which is celebrate throughout the whole world but is probably most famous in New Orleans!!

Well, my college had this Mardi Gras yesterday night, and it was essentially a night of performing arts..
the whole school was transformed into a giant theatre...At anytime throughout the evening, there were 5 performances going on simultaneously around the college..cool right??
and the students got to wear whatever they want, and the teachers all came dressed up..Suddenly the students and teachers all become leng lui!!(guess leng luiness really depends on the clothing..and guess our uniform really suxs.. :(
haha
the teachers sang and gave performances too...and when teachers do stuff like this, it always turns out to be hilarious and entertaining, regardless of how well the teachers performed..but this is not to say the teachers' performance sux last night!! they were really really good

oh besides that there were a lot of cool performances by cool people abundant in our college..like me =)

well
a pictures say a thousand words...but unfortunately i forgot to bring my camera to school yesterday..so too bad lar..

but as soon as i got hold of pictures..i'll post it up!!
haha

ChEErS!!

Moving on..........

Hey...met up with patrick, chea ming and hua chu in singapore...was short but memorable...hehe...hope to meet up with u guys more often...ok...my last post was kinda rude and i'm afraid that i hurt some people out there and that i wasn't really a true scout when i wrote it so i hope that whoever felt they were wronged...i'm sorry(ps...could you write ur name and where u are from...u shouldn't be afraid to speak up ur mind u know...just like me)...rite...now in a dilemma, not sure which to choose, science research or physics olympiad, cos they're on the same day...btw, i'm now really starting to feel the pace and the grind of schoolife here...mmm...how i yearn for sleep...ok for once i'll keep it short...ta

A campfire...to be forgotten

Phew...just got back to singapore after a very long sabbatical...(missed 9 school days)...the jpa interview was kinda crappy...waited real long to meet two higly disinterested interviewers...thankfully had Tim and Wen Chee in the same group as me...so wasn't that boring...

Anyway...started off in Singapore in worst possible manner...Arrgh....left my singaporean sim card in msia...have to tumpang lihong to take back...tomorrow(or rather today) will have to find him to take it back...and then when unpacking my bag...realised i didn't bring a whole lotta other stuff as well...which meant i had to go shopping for them...

So it's saturday nite...bout 8 someething...i'm trying to read econs when i smell...SMOKE?! i run to ask me room mate and he informs me that the local scouts in victoria school were having a campfire...!

Boy was i excited...it's been like forever since I've been to a campfire..pity i didn't bring my uniform along...and my camera...so no pictures here..I wasn't too sure whether i could go to the campfire...which was held on the highest floor in the school which is sorta like an open air stage area sorta...ya...but secu was kinda lax..so I managed to sneak in after all :) (when they turned their backs to entertain some guides who weren't pretty anyway...sad sad despo single sex school singaporeans)

So i go up that long flight of steps...the whoops and cheers getting louder...the smell of burning wood becoming stronger...and I emerge into ...(drumroll)...the campfire.

Okie...first...some comments on the deco...the local Victoria school scouts( arrow scouts they were called...because they have an arrow in their logo or something like that...only the Victorian Scouts though) set up tripods along the perimeter with the usual burning stuff inside...the campfire(which was quite small was in the middle and around it sat all the guides n scouts(bout 15 schools...200++ ppl)right in front was the stage...which they didn't need to built because they was already a raised platform in the stone floor there....no cool 3 storey structures in sight...and there weren't even any banners...cept the main one which was badly decorated with the wordings...68 arrow scouts campfire...written in marker pen i think...about the only cool thing was the mc(s) costume(rented i bet) which was red indian tribal chief dress cos the theme was THE RED INDIANS.

Ok...now...i'll talk about the campfire itself...first..uniforms...the singaporean scout uniform is the same as the malaysian scout...long pants, shirt and scarf...but the colour scheme is exactly that of the malaysian girl guides' uniform...light green blouse and dark green pants...scarf is red and white with singaporean flag behind...girl guides wear dark blue with yellow scarves...

As the night progressed...I noticed the ppl there like to sing alot...song followed song after song...i managed to procure a program book...scanned the list and realised there were only two games...AACK...I waited in vain for the first game which turned out to be...guess the song game...yup...the djs play a short part of a song and you're supposed to run out and guess the title...fine...whatever...once in awhile...when ppl started singing...they would get all hyped up and started dancing...which was kinda cool...but something was different...something wrong...i couldn't quite place my finger on it...until i realised...everyone was dancing among their own troop/coy...the scouts weren't asking the guides out to dance at all...it was all sexually segregated dancing!

What's the whole point about having a bloody campfire if everyone is just going to interact with ppl from their own troop or coy anyway...I asked a local scout how come they never ask the guides out to dance with em...even dances which required partnering(in my opinion) were conducted among ppl of the same sex...he replied that you could get sued for molest if you touch a girl...and that even if you ask a guide out to dance...they'll reject you anywy...not because you're ugly...but because they think it's wrong(oh surprise)...and yet having sex at 13 isn't.....hmmm

After the 36th song( I am not kidding you) i decided to call it quits...the performances which were all performed by visiting troops were few n far between and on the rare chance that a troop or coy came up with a performance...it's some half-baked cheesy uncoordinated last minute dance with girls too shy to pull off the more sexy moves convincingly enough...there was a lion dance though...but nothing on the one we had at chs(pj)...

I miss chs...and i miss the 9th pj scout troop...i miss the tension and the rivalry and the catcalls so omnipresent at malaysian campfires which sadly do not exist here...i miss great looking assunta and sri aman guides who are just dying to play the next game with you...i miss tall imposing structures which take weeks to build...i miss cool banners painted during lessons so we could skip classes...i miss wreaking havoc at other ppls' campfires....i miss fun...if you're looking for true BP spirit with a touch of excitment...don't look here
