this is the fourth time I'm typing for this entry.. cos apparently, everytime when i'm almost done with the entry, something will cause my internet explorer to shut down.. if it happens again, i'm so gonna accept the fate and jus forget bout blogging it anymore..

so, for the fourth and the last time i'm typing this update again..

a little update on what I had done in the past one month plus apart from work..

1. Movie..

Watched Night at the Museum - Battle of the Smithsonian with dear and sis on one of my off day.. It's a funny and interesting movie.. like those museum characters, the Einstein bobblehead, singing cupid etc. though we all find that the first movie was nicer, but still it's a good movie to watch.. hahax..

2. Books..

Miraculously, I managed to finished 3 books during this period while I'm working.. If you happened to know my speed of reading, you will know why I say 3 books in a month plus is a miracle. hahax..
3 very good books, so shall write a short review on each..

Basically, a book that explores whether wish-come-true is a blessing or a curse.. Interesting and captivating book and I love Alexandra Potter's style of writing.. A rather girly book, but I could sometimes relate to some of the wishes the character made in the book. hahax. And I love the development of the romance between the main characters and the twist and turns in the plot.
Highly Recommended! Rating: 5/5 =)

A book revolving ard this waitress who cant decide on the career she want to pursue and jus kept changing her mind every now and then.. Wasnt as nice but not too bad either.. Style of writing too descriptive for my liking, which makes the story abit too draggy.. But the way the writer describes the guy feelings on relationship is sth new and interesting. It's rather different to read bout guy characters who are more afraid of being hurt in relationships than the girl characters.. and to the extent that almost of the guy characters resort to seeking shelter from old relationship in order to be safe and secure from the uncertainty of new relationship.. interesting emotional struggle on the guy character part.. hahax..
and so rating: 3/5..

The book I had since sec 2, and failed at every attempt to finished it.. Finally, I managed to finish e book this time round.. hahax. I think most ppl will know bout this book esp after since it's movie adaptation. But seriously, after reading this book, the more I think that the movie is a 100% injustice to the book. Too disappointing to see that such a good book could be so badly adapted into e movie.

It truly lived up to it's name in being a tear-jerking book. Extremely sad and touching story for such a loving couple and soulmate. Cecelia Ahern could write and portray the emotional struggle and sadness of the main character so well, that I cried through almost half of the book. I cried so much that I dun dare to read the book when there's ppl ard me. and honestly, I'm not a person who would cry easily when reading a book, I find it hard to cry over words and descriptions. In fact, this is the first book that moved me to tears.. hahax.. a great book with a bittersweet, emotional yet heartwarming story..
HIGHLY Recommended! Rating: 5/5! =)

3. Music..
A lot of new and nice songs lately.. e MV of some of the latest songs I like =)

--------------------------------------------------

and so the month of July will be back to those carefree days - enjoying the freedom and slacking away the remaining of the holidays.. and after being robbed of my leisure time due to work for the past one month, i've accumulate quite a long list of things I wanna do.. hahax.. and so..

My July holiday plans..

1. Compilation of songs for dear

2. Outing with kon, eli & mich tml =)

3. Kbox outing with group - to be confirmed

4. Transformers 2 with dear

5. List of drama to watch:

a) Korean Reality Show "We Got Married"

b) 终极三国

c) 东方之珠

d) Korean Drama "That Fool"

e) Maybe some other korean or jap drama if I have the time.. hahax..

6. Book: Where Rainbows End

7. Learn new skills: probably reading up on photoshop tutorials or some make-up and hairstyle books

8. Do abit of "work-out" with Wii Sports.. substitute for Wii-Fit till I saved enough to get the Wii-Fit set..

9.Try to get rid of my dark eye circles..

10. More Outings.. Currently kinda interested to explore those places at the circle line.. hahax.

I guess, this list shld be more than enough to keep me occupied for the whole month.. hahax..

That's all for the entry..

Till when I have fun events/happenings to blog about~~ =)

Hi, I'm FINALLY back!!

hahax.. my *to be continued* post had been left rotting for far too long.. and even the previous graduation post is so OBVIOUSLY back-dated.. hahax..

and I know I'm somehow developing this bad habit of not blogging for extensive period of time. hahax.

but as mentioned by Mr Nub, I've seriously been busy with work for the past one and half month.. and 1 off day per week is jus so not enough.. I had so little time to myself that every off day seems so precious.. and somehow, on my off day, I'm either out having to return the graduation gown, submit timesheet or hooked onto one of the books or playing Wii games.. and during my free time i'm either too tired to blog or jus simply lazy..

As mention before, I've been working at Marks & Spencer @ Parkway Parade. Working as Retail Ambassador cum Sales Associate assigned at the mens department.

Job scopes

Primarily was jus purely doing Greetings at the mens department entrance (G/M)..
and seriously, when i first start work, they jus asked me to stand near the entrance and greet customers.. and there i'm greeting customers with "Hi, Good afternoon/evening, Welcome to M&S..", "Thank you for shopping at M&S. See you again." etc etc. and yes, for the whole day from 1.15pm to 9.30pm closing.. and inevitably as i work longer through the month, my greetings kept getting shorter and shorter till one point when it permanently shorten to "Hi, Welcome", "Thank you". hahax.

apart from greetings, i'm jus merely trying to make myself appear busy by arranging the merchandise on display. hahax.

and slowly, as i picked up the basics at the store, i'm being upgraded to helper cum sales associate.. hahax.. why? becos i'm e first one to be asked to helped out in whichever department that was short of manpower.. hahax. and so i tried different tasks.. food sampling in the food department, replenishing stock in all departments, customer service, sent down to unloading bay, checking stock, transfer and reserving of items..

and then finally, realising that the route to escape G/M task is to attend to customers who need help or browsing through items. and tada~ i practically din do any more G/M task.. hahax..

Interesting happenings at work

Name..
First, is to try to recognise and respond to my manager's way of pronunciation. hahax. Apparently, his pronunciation of "Sheryl" is "Sherry". which took me quite a while to recognise and respond to whenever he spoke to me. hahax. and then cos my supervisor is also named Cheryl. so i always assume that my colleagues aint calling me, and so they had to called me at least twice before I would respond to them. hahax. and then suddenly, everyone start calling me "Small Cheryl". and this joke of "Big/Small Cheryl". hahax. and I've come across the most funny spelling of my name ever on the transfer form, attention to "Sharyl". hahax.

Shoplifters..
If I wasnt working there, I would nv imagine that there can be so much shoplifting ard.. Shant elaborate, but sometimes, shoplifters can really do things that amuses and surprises people. and of course, not forgetting all the funny and silly excuses and ways of escaping. hahax. though it's also frightening, witnessing one happening and having to deal with potential shoplifters. hahax, but can be exciting sometimes, having gossips for the day. lol.

Boss..
I shant elaborate. but observing the boss can be an interesting thing to keep me occupied during work. especially his catwalks, way of speech.. hahax. But working under a boss with such bad moodswings like his, can be rather scary at times.. it's jus like working with a 不定时炸弹.. we'll nv know when he will aim and explode on us..

and gossips heard from cleaner auntie and colleagues.. hahax..

Bad experience

this extremely bad experience when i'm being sent down to the unloading bay.. and having to be stuck with this scary delivery man for more than an hour.. and the unloading bay is so ulu, stuffy and smelly (cos they happened to choose to park near the recycling bin).. and to make things worst, my supervisor choose to leave me there alone with the delivery man after scolding him for not following procedures.. and the already unfriendly delivery man started mumbling to himself and staring at me for the whole hour of waiting lah.. it left me so scared that i almost attempted to ask some passer-by to called for help at the store.. and jus when I'm struggling whether to make a fuss by asking some passer-by to call for help, my supervisor sent someone down to change shift with me.. I'm like so relieved to see them at the time.. and luckily after that incident, that's the last time they send me down to the unloading bay.. hahax..

Complaints

my job can at times be so slack to the point that it got really boring and time seems to pass extremely slow.. and everyday, I'll be looking forward to 2 things.. first, break time.. second, this recording "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, our store is closing in 5 mins time/our store is closing for the day...." the recording was jus like the saviour for the day. hahax. and whichever customer who were still thick-skinned shoping ard, are so immediately hated and dreaded by me.. lol.

though my job is rather slack, but it's still tiring cos of the long hours.. and seriously, 1 off day per week is seriously not enough.. and it's always a choice between going out or having rest.. I'll have to sacrifice fun for rest or opt for rest and miss out on all the fun.. and so i ended up having no life when i'm working..

---------------------------

but still overall, the job at Marks and Spencer was quite alright, something I could cope well with.. not much stress, and I enjoyed meeting different people/customers everyday and having to deal with different situation everyday.. and I enjoyed the satisfaction from customer service.. and I like the retail environment in departmental stores, colleagues are genuinely helpful to one another, helping each other to meet customers need.. the teamwork to work for sales..

Afterall, it's a not bad working experience, and makes a good vacation job =)

So now, I'm officially an SP graduate!!

And with this, it marks the end of my 3 years of poly education in SP. Time passes by so quickly, and now all that's left is 3 years full of memories.

Recalling back, I know I've made a rather 'different' choice by entering SP. and that starts me off on a journey alone to explore my education choice.. and it's a fruitful journey I didnt regret..

I've learnt and experienced alot throughout these 3 years.. met great friends and classmates.. work and slog for projects.. ITP experience.. learning from lecturers and friends.. bearing responsibilities and obligations.. first award received for retail competition.. first client proj.. and not forgetting all the fun times spent with friends.. and many more..

All of these which made me grow positively, building confidence within me.. and I'm grateful for everything in my 3 years of SP life.

And it's through all these ups and downs, efforts and hard work that brought me to my Graduation Ceremony..

On the day, it was so hectic, that everything just seems to zoom past in a flash..

From me waking up, preparing for the day, my tantrums, to all the last minute crop-ups that happens.. like my Dad's vehicle breaking down, having to rush cab down to sch with Mum, waiting anxiously afraid that Dad would be late for the ceremony.. to the start of the ceremony, listening to guests' speeches and then poof~ time for the presentation of certificate on stage. and stepping up on stage to receive my Diploma cert was such a mix of emotions. hahax. from the start of feeling nervous of walking up the stage with carama zoomed on my face and hundreds of eyes starring at me, to feeling afraid of tripping while walking across the stage cos of the robe and heels, to feeling excited and happy when receiving my scroll from our Director.. and there after, I was heading back to my seat with my scroll and the graduation bag. hahax.

and finally when the ceremony ended, it was photo taking time with family and friends! =)

My beloved Parents! The best parents ever who took great care of me and my sis, loving and doting us!
I'm so thankful that they were both present and able to witness my graduation! Especially when workaholic Dad took time off work despite his busy work schedule and Mum who was ill on that day.
and I'm so sorry for being such a spoiled brat throwing tantrums at them cos of all the crop-ups. =X
A million Thanks for their love and care and being the understanding parents as always!♥
and of course not forgetting my beloved lil sis who was rushing for proj submission and much to my disappointment couldnt attend my graduation ceremony - but i'm understanding. hahax =X
but still credit for her being my design advisor and being a great companion hearing my complains and rantings.♥

Dear, Mr Wayne Low! who joined my parents and me after we left school.
My advisor for almost everything I had difficulty in. Teaching me how to deal with situations and handle things whether in sch or in life general. him occasionally camping over at my house, helping me to rush and finish off urgent reports. and being supportive, hearing my complains and rantings.♥

Not forgetting to express my gratitude and appreciation to all my lecturers who guided me through projects, taught me valuable experiences and lessons. and their care and lenience during my course of learning..

The girls who made my 3 years of poly life enjoyable! My 2 buddies who support me through the tough times working on projs, helped me through the struggles with sch work, and all the fun and enjoyable time spent together in sch and outside sch.. Really miss those days.. Grateful and thankful for having their company these 3 years in SP! =)

and of course, not forgetting the group! the ones who worked through up and downs of projs together with me.. working hard yet having fun amidst the work.. hahax.. the best team and group mates I work well with! =)

My Dear Friends,
Thank you for all the wonderful times spent together!
Even as we set on different paths, we still must keep in contact okay? I believe we'll be able to maintain our friendship =)
Take care and All the best for the future! =)

With the Graduation Ceremony, marks a beautiful end to my poly education..

With every ending, marks a new beginning..
and, my new beginning in NUS FASS awaits me..
I hope and pray that this new journey will be as great as the times in SP.
