28th sep

6am - 9am: rush home to bathe and (hardly able to) sleep

11am - 6pm: Motorshow

6pm - 11pm: rush to baby's house to sleep (OVERSLEPT by a bit. excusable right? i mean, at this point of time, after 2 days of hardly sleepin, im already all drained!)

11pm: rushed down to work, but along the way, i turned to Capitol building to pick Eva up, as she couldnt get a taxi. for the past 2 days, the cab driver dropped me off at city hall mrt, and i had to walk all the way to millenia tower/conrad hotel, due to the stupid roadblocks. this night, however, me and Eva wanted to try stopping somewhere nearer to our destination save us the hassle of walking/half-running in high heels! however, the cab driver went round and round and round, tried his very best, but couldnt find a suitable place to stop, once again, due to stupid roadblocks everywhere!

12+pm: reached Amberlounge, got fired on the spot. wad the fuck? the stupid client didnt even bother to hear our explanation, and just fired us in like, 10 seconds? bloody bitch. the cab fare cost us $20+ lor. im pissed about being fired not because im hard up about working for her 1.5k-per-entrance-ticket stupid event, but because she intentionally waited for us to reach the place then fire us, rather than informing our agent earlier that we're fired and we need not bother to go down. yea i do agree and admit that its our fault for being late, YES YES, but i think the way she handled it was abit overboard? like surely there were alternative solutions? dock 2 hours off our salary? why go to such an extent of firing us? to think she was initially so friendly and warm, praising us for our good performance the past 2 nights etc... FAKE, all FAKE!

The client, Rachel Moroney was rumoured to fire a fellow female friend who was working for the event as well. Reason? This girl almost got raped, and was punched in the stomach when she resisted. Rather than protecting her girls and being a responsible client, Rachel fired her based on the grounds that she was creating a scene. not sure how true this is, but iv seen some rumours spreading around on the net, regarding this issue. Well, Rachel is a woman herself, and it is a shame that she does not defend the rights and honour of fellow females, and she seems to have a hobby of firing people? *rolls eyes* ah whatever. im just glad that the 3 hectic days are OVER OVER OVER!



What else took place over this span of time that i was MIA:



- Super Imports Night. worked for Sonax/Broquet


P.S this beautiful Nissan Skyline at MB Motors stole my heart! Unlike normal cars, it's matt black, just like a Batman car! ooowhheeeee~!! there were many many other beautiful cars like lamborghinis, lotus, etc etc, and also beautifully-decorated vehicles... and of course, the gorgeous import/local models!



I only worked because the night before the event at 5am, miyo asked me to replace her as she was not feeling well. Since i was free, i decided to help my friend out. However, at work (Friday), this girl who's sorta 'in charge', Jessica, asked me to work on Saturday as well. i said i couldnt, as i had to attend Yii Yin's birthday party at 6pm at HarbourFront. But Jessica was persistent. She pleaded with me to work, even if it was only a half-shift, from 12pm to 5pm. But i declined, because i really did not wanna rush about. Even after that, she KEPT ON pleading with me, using terms like 'help me out la', 'i got no more girls' etc etc. Soft-heartd as i am, i agreed reluctantly.

However, after thinking it through during work, i decided to tell her, after 1 hour, that i actually really really do not wanna work, and that i hope that she will not force me any further. Then she said, 'ehhh! u promised just now already leh! how can last minute back out de??!!' I mean like wtf, couldnt she see that i was super reluctant, and i agreed only because she wouldnt stop bugging me? and cmon, the reason i was working on Friday was because i was HELPING a friend, and the initial arrangment was for me to replace my friend for that ONE day only, im not OBLIGED to help you work for the remaining days! But she made it seem like i owed her. And i was unhappy about that, and i saw no point in reasoning with her because... honestly, she's like... aunty aunty pattern, dun-give-face type of person. So i talked to the client, when he happened to come into the storeroom at the same time that i was in there, resting. I told him " im really very sorry that im unable to help you out tomorrow, as i really have something on. but if ur really in need of someone, i can help you look for a girl' To my surprise, the client was cool, and wasn't desperate like Jessica at all. He said, sure, and handed me his namecard.

From what Jessica told me, even though she's 'in charge' of finding the girls, she ain't cutting any commission from their salary. So i thought it would be OK for me to recommend a girl directly to the client, since Jessica wouldnt be disadvantaged in any way, right? Furthermore i ain't cutting any commission myself either, just thinking of HELPING the client find a girl for his booth, sincerely. Heard from Huirong that Chanelle was interested in working for SIN, so i passed Huirong the client's number, and after that, the involved parties took over the planning/discussions. That was the end of my role, i felt good that i attempted to help someone, i felt good that work had ended, i went on with my own life.

However, few days after, i received a nasty phone call from Jessica. Apparently, the client decided to hire Chanelle to work. Good thing right? But Jessica said : " ehhhh why you go and intro client what 1.73m girl, client see already, sure wanna hire right? then you liddat hor, you spoil my plans leh! client see chanelle already then dun wanna hire my girls leh! " After i heard this, i immediately felt damn WTF.

firstly, your initial concern was that u had NO GIRL to work at the booth, that's y you begged me to work on Saturday, despite my countless declines. now, i helped u find a girl, and you are complaining that because of my girl, your client wont want YOUR GIRL????!!! so where did these 'YOUR GIRLS' SUDDENLY pop out from?

ok mayb you're pissed because the girl selected to work was not 'under' you, but recommended by me. but the whole point is, I DON'T STAND ANYTHING TO GAIN FROM RECOMMENDING THIS GIRL, and u TOLD ME, you weren't cutting any commission from your girls as well, so what's the issue here??!! it doesnt matter from whose side this girl came from, right? UNLESS u were lying that u didnt cut commission luh? cuz most likely u did, and u're pissed that u're unable to cut a share of Chanelle's salary? this is just my personal thought, might or might not be true, but, can anyone think of alternative reasons?

next, you claim that the client is your own personal friend. don't you wanna help your own friend find a girl for his booth? picture this - all other booths have tons of girls, Sonax/Broquet only has 2. Out of the 2 of us, only i was posing and taking photos, at least on the day i was working. Jessica was like... walking around... dunno what she was doing oso la. i asked her to pose together, she replied "I don't like to take photos leh, i prefer to promote the products" 0_0 i was abit stunned. but, oh well, i just did my job anyway, mind my own business.

anyway, Jessica called with the aim of scolding me for spoiling her 'plans' (i dunno what evil plan she has in her funny mind oso lar) but i REFUSED to be scolded, because in my heart i knew that my conscience was clear, i did not do anything to sabotage anyone, in fact all i wanted to do was HELP. i mean i could have just not bothered - told the boss i couldnt help him to work on satursday, then get the hell out of the place. But i decided to be nice and HELP him find a replacement, and i sincerely REGRET!

anyway i sounded very hostile on the phone and did not give her any chance to climb over my head. no way in hell. so she had no choice but to put down the phone. then guess what? remember Miyo, the friend whom i replaced initially? she called miyo to scold her! she said stuff like 'Why did u recommend *me* to replace you? she snatched my client you know?! why did u have to be sick on the day that you were supposed to work? you spoilt all my plans you know?!" blablabla and alot alot alot of crap. Miyo is nice and good-natured, and tolerated her nonsense <- and i feel angry about that! Miyo, Chanelle and I are equally pissed about this whole incident, and not to mention the many other girls who 'talked' about Jessica during casual chitchats. - shows how 'well-liked' she is uh.

seriously im not someone who will look for trouble. but guess what i heard AGAIN! miyo was supposed to work for Sonax/Broquet for Singapore Motorshow 2008. But she got cancelled, and Jessica told her that the reason was because IIIIIIIIIII snatched her spot away. WTF?! *rolls eyes until eyeballs wanna drop out* like COME ON, do your homework before attempting to tell lies and spread fake rumours to spoil my reputation? yes indeed i am working for Motorshow, but im not even working for Sonax/Broquet??!! How to 'snatch' Miyo's spot when im not even working for the same company?! Im working for Polygon, and my friend Madeleine was the one who recommended the job to me! GAWD. im just so pissed at being wrongly accused by a low-class aunty! i only got to find out about this when i happened to message Miyo on msn to chat. Imagine if i did not do so, and the misunderstanding was not cleared, miyo would forever think that i backstabbed her, snatched her job? our friendship would be ruined?! I seriously cannot believe how some people can be so evil! watch out for Karma bitch!

I know its a really long and annoying post but, just let me rant. im sure u can sense how angered i am!



Ok on to other things. Also worked for Richard Mille event at MOS, where Jacky Chan was present. but i aint a fan luh~ was more interested in the countless Lamborghinis etc parked outside...gosh...Lambos in all sorts of colours, an eye-opener *envioussss* many many girls worked, many familiar faces, really. job scope was just to party. oh guess who was working too? Jessica! and she was like...alone, ALONE walking around in the club, while everyone else were in cliques? need i say more... Anyway i had fun hanging with babes like Shu Min, Eva, Sarah, Lisa, Victoria, and the cute gang, Elaine Huirong Chanelle Miyake and more~more~... Joanne even dragged a group of us to go dance on the podium at like 3+am when there werent much people left, and we took off our heels to dance more comfortably! lol so unglam!!! ahh, it was fun :)


Ok last but not least, my birthday celebration :)

1 day before actual bday: baby picked me up from a casting, drove to Changi. i was kinda disheartened... why bring me to an ulu place to celebrate my bday. haha. but... in the end i was impressed and delighted!

There's this Changi Village Hotel just behind the row of coffeeshops, and trust me, it's quite posh despite being located in Changi Village. Baby signed up for a couple spa session at 'The Retreat'. We were led to the top floor of the hotel, into a beautiful massage-room with an attached balcony. at the balcony, there was a jacuzzi pool and an outdoor rainshower! whee!!! the view was not bad, overlooking a sea, but i dunno what sea? hahas. should be the one leading to Pulau Ubin? There was also chocolate fondue and marshmallows,banana, apple etc provided, by the pool side! We had fun splashing around for about 1 hour, before the masseurs came to provide us with heavenly, relaxing massage! i really loved it, but what a pity, it was so soothing that i fell asleep! geee wasted. haha. all in all, i really did not expect this, and i find it really special! $600+ for 2 people, for 3 hours, - and i have baby to thank for it. THANK YOU BABY!!! but the thing is, if i were to look for a spa package for myself, i would never choose such an expensive one, and i really think baby shouldnt have gone to the extent. i mean yea its amazing, for 3 hours...but after that, all u have left is...memories? =x id rather spend $600 on something tangible, that you can keep, and touch, and see, and admire... lol.













actual bday: baby picked me up from school. as i walked out to the road from the Central Library building, i saw the car, then i saw baby standing beside it, AND THEN i saw him holding a bouquet of roses stuck onto a stuff toy (turtle), and tied together with a huge smiley-face balloon!!! Seriously this is SO unlike baby! he's the 'serious' sort...but he just looked so cute-in-an-odd-manner holding the stuffed toy and balloon! it brought a smile to my face instantly and i giggled out loud to myself! =)

next we headed to Vivocity for dinner at Modesto's. I love the mushroom-soup-which-does-not-look-like-mushroom-soup. and the carbonara. woo nicee! but baby ordered some weird creamy dish in which the pasta came in huge chunks...? huge chunks stuffed with weird fillings inside =x he didnt like it, so i offered to swap with him... didnt want him to waste money ordering another dish... so i bluffed him that i found it okay... but truth is, it was horrible! haha! did not do much on my actual bday night cuz i was rather tired from school.















1 week after actual bday: my bday party at Pamela's condo, poolside! many people were saying 'waaa your bday lasts 1 week uh?' haha...i was simply too busy to organize anything earlier... and im such a procrastinator cum slow worker...its already considered not too bad, that the celebration was only delayed by 1 week? =x

I was rather pissed about the whole party thing because initially i had close to 50-60 confirmed guests. but when the date drew closer, more and more people started saying that they couldnt make it. of course i was disappointed, but more annoyed because i already ordered 55 people's share for the buffet catering, and all those extra portions would go to waste due to these last minute cancellations! i was especially disappointed when several of my best friends couldnt make it. eunice - MIA ever since JC, wan lin - suay suay down with dengue fever on that day, janice - came very late cuz she got drunk the night before, qilin - not in Singapore, Guo an - really see him as brother, but something he did really disappointed me big time, and a couple more... i cant rmb already. These factors made me abit 'sian' when i first arrived at the party. I didnt have the mood to do much. Baby was the one who set up everything, the sound system, the food, carried stuff etc... while i was busy answering phone calls, giving directions... However, more and more friends arrived and i started to cheer up (and get busy, of course). in the end, i really felt happy to see all my friends! Pamela, Brina, Alan, Wee Meng, Chiew Siong, Eeleen and bf, Dominic and gf, Hong Ren Jit Sheng that gang, Climbing club guys Zhiren Zhimian Zhijian JeeDog, Weiche, Jared, Trewq and friend, Queenie and Lena, NUS Arts gang Olivia Juliet Belle Pauline Xiao Xuan Justin Jesse Elvyn, Elvyn's gf and friend, Rubin, Yu Tsung and friends, Dingyan, Shahin, Brina's cool friends, Janice, Sean, Ian, and Yong Quan -who was chatting with me on msn before i left for the party, and found out that i was upset...so he specially came down with 2 of his friends, even though he didnt know any1 else at the party...and they even came with presents! thanks, really...

a while after the party commenced, me, Queenie, Lena, Janice, Tsung and his friends went into the pool, while a crowd gathered to sit around the pool, and we started playing games. losers had to drink. there was a point when i got Sabo-ed BIG TIME, by sean (as usual) and some guys. U see, Ian (such a sweetie) brought Moët & Chandon... Baby bought Vodka and beer. So, they mixed champagne + vodka + beer + softdrink, and ganged up to make me lose that round of the game so that i had to drink that horrible 'concoction'!!! MAN IT WAS KILLER!!! it tasted awful, and it burnt all the way from my throat down to my tummy. YUCK!!! im such a hopeless drinker that THAT was enough to kill me, and make me high for the night. lol. loserish right. i reached home looking like a red, sick lobster, and i had the wanna-puke-but-cannot-puke sensation as well as a splitting headache. GRRR. thankfully mum made me a glass of hot tea and i felt alot better after that! i seriously hate alcohol, serious!

also, while this gang was around/inside the pool, another gang was gathered around baby, and his laptop. ??? watching soccer match! lol. im glad everyone had at least something to do... thankfully there was soccer to help me entertain my guests since i was unable to split myself into many-me-s and be with everyone at the same time! soccer also helps to bond people together man... ok i seem to be loving soccer for the wrong reasons. lol

I received alot of presents!!! yipee!! but honestly, i was not expecting any presents, really, really. the presence of my frens were my main objective, which is why i was so disappointed when people couldnt make it... however i was really touched to receive all sorts of cool gifts from my friends! I have something to confess though... i do not know WHO gave WHAT present, cuz there are no names written!!! and i have yet to ask around to find out... damn... if you're reading this, do tell me which gift was from you, ok?? *paiseh* have yet to take pix of my presents as i havent really had he time to sit down and open them properly, except for Rubin's Belgian chocolates! yummy marvellous!!! will upload pix soon.

for now, im tired, gotta work at Motorshow again tml... but i'll also be meeting a girl halfway through work to collect my Victoria Secret golden Angel tote bag! so im lookin forward to that!!! whee! ciao~
