walking down citylink to work the day before, again, the ladies from the same modelling company(Create Talents) approached me. then yesterday, it was IMI Pte Ltd there. ==" now, im sure they're so desperate for new faces, new models (or perhaps for their commission-to-earn :x). anw, Create Talents rang me up yesterday.."hello, may i speak to adrienne pls?""yes, speaking. can i know who is this?""hi, im from Create Talents calling. do you still rmb one of our girls approached you at citylink the day before? can you pls come down for an interview with us tmr?""oh, yes i rmb. but i wont be free to make the trip down tmr.""or maybe you can make an appointment with us first and see when you'll be free to come down. if you cant make it, you can call us to cancel the appointment.""erm, actually im not too sure when i'll be free. ya, so maybe i'll ring you up again tonight to let you know?""okay, sure. but pls take note that our office closes at 8pm tonight.""okay, thanks. bye bye.""bye."honestly speaking, i didnt intend to keep my word. so, i didnt make the call. :xanw, work yesterday was so slack. i didnt mean to skive. really. but there's just not much to be done. if i dont stay in the vip room, i'll just be standing outside either looking at the customers eat, or at the surrounding environment + furnitures. ==" plus, the fact that somebody had really spoilt my day. :/ so i actually stayed inside for a long time chatting. but to emphasize again, i didnt mean to skive! hmm, but i did learn something at work yesterday; to show the foreign customers around and offering them good hospitality! hehe. it was so enjoyable. and i just spent my 45mins outside serving them. all thanks to EDY. he was the one who taught me how to interact with these customers, and was helping me with them as well. :D then guess what? they asked to take pictures with us before they left! hehe. so kind of them. how friendly..oh well, another thing. i guess it's time i grow up and be a little inspired to be someone i should be, and not the "duh-i-dont-know-anything" kind of teen where im turning 18 soon, into a young adult. observing the ppl around me, many are knowledgable and achieving great things. i want to be like them, not the bimbotic lians and bengs down town who think the world of themselves. i want to learn new things and make myself more useful. :D btw, i've decided to put my German/French Language back till maybe poly time. cuz i've decided to learn something else first instead; taekwondo. lol. and it's with my teacher, edy.okay, that's all for now. update again soon!

was supposed to go for an interview yesterday before work. but in the end, it was cancelled cuz they said they dont need anymore promoters. :xanw, while i was rushing to work yesterday, one of the ladies in a group came up and approached me. and yes, it was about modelling. at first i tried to shun her, but she wouldnt let me move on and said she wasnt going to get me to purchase anything.."hi, im from Create Talents Modelling.."
"sorry, im in a hurry."
"we're currently looking for new faces.."
then she stuffed a name card into my hand."okay, but im really in a hurry. there's a website printed here, so i'll just visit you on the net.."
"hold on. can i just have your name and contact no. before you leave?"
so i gave her my no. and rushed off.okay, to be honest, it's really a lil' flattering that i get approached. wouldnt you, girls? but come to think of it, about a quarter of s'pore's youths + young adults had already been approached for modelling, i guess. so it's actually proving nothing. im just moving from the 3/4 part of s'pore to the 1/4 one. furthermore, im not even sure if this is a scam company (although my sis claims that her friend's from that company as well). hmm, but whether or not it's a scam, it doesnt bother me honestly. cuz im not the least interested in modelling, neither can i do well as one.alright, now to my work yesterday. recently, it was quite slack at work. nothing much has to be done except during weekends. i love working weekends, but i couldnt, usually. cuz i want to attend services as well. plus, since im going to serve soon! oh no, talking about this, im getting real excited again!! that sunday (2 days ago) i went Messiah Kids and Praise Kids 1 as arranged to observe how things go before deciding to join them or not. oh my goodness, the kids at MK are SOOO adorable! and i simply love them to bits! their tiny hands are like tofu, so small and soft. the way they mingle in their own cliques, so funny.. although they're a lil' bit handful, to be honest. :P well, i really really hope that teacher jenny replies me soon and allows me to serve in MK asap cuz i really cant contain my excitement that long! anw, i've decided to join Mk and not PK 1. hopefully, i can observe things as Agape Kids as well. cuz i actually love the younger kids as compared to the older ones. they're more innocent and adorable. :DDDDDDD

was supposed to go to work this morning. but didnt feel well, had stomach cramps. so, it's the time of the month again. as a result, didnt go to work today. but im actually feeling a lil' guilty and irresponsible. well, i didnt used to be like that. since i was in sec. 2, all the way to sec. 5, my attendance in school was bad. and i really mean BAD. an average of 2 to 3 days absent per week unless it was an exam week. now, things are so different. even when i feel a lil' unwell, i'll still make it a point to go work. okay, not because of the pay la!.. ==" but well, i guess it's the difference between schooling and working. it develops a sense of responsibility in me. :) anw, this morning was just an exception. :xwork, work and work.. right now, im enjoying the working period before my school life starts again. cuz it's so stress-free. it's not like im a working adult struggling to feed myself, or worst still, a family. so i can actually just work for the fun of it and get those extra allowances for myself. no, im not saying that im not serious at work. instead, i am, but meanwhile, im having fun too. it's just a sense of satisfaction when im able earn my own keep (plus, some allowances from my parents! :P)

ages and ages since i last blogged. was so busy working and working the whole of this week. couldnt find time out even to go shopping for new clothes/stuff. didnt go for service today; intend to go for the once-a-year rebonding later on. but i guess it's high time i changed my hairstyle. lols. it's always either the long-and-straight, or short-and-straight ones throughout these years since sec. 1. lols. but well, at least i keep it long and short at different periods of time - to maintain the novelty each year, instead of keeping it long/short all the while since young, like what most girls do to their long hair. :x anw, this year, 2007, im gonna keep it long la.okay, enough of my hairstyle thing. hmm, during these few days at work, my view towards this job changed for the better again. im used to the small area we have now already, and also, the neighbour a-partition-apart from us. :) anw, last night was the best of the whole of this week at work. customers flooded our queue line area. we were kept real busy. but like what i've said, this is the kind of working condition i loved most. i really enjoyed yesterday though i got myself scalded again and again. but since we're serving steamboat dinner, it was unavoidable la. well, it wasnt any major scaldings that could disfigure me, so it's alright! :) i just hope business is this good everytime im working. :D

before yesterday, the last time i worked was on new year eve. it was my happiest time there. i've made so many new friends, i've learnt so many new stuff, plus plus plus.. and because of the special occasion, we were kept busy to the extreme the whole of time. but i enjoyed it. i really did. but well, yesterday was my saddest at work. there was a big shuffle in the management, therefore affecting us.(1) our place was divided into two, for another existing restaurant to occupy.(2) as the opposite (allied)restaurant was closed down, their staff would be transfered over to us. hence, our working slots would definitely be affected; less no. of working days per week.(3) as to what i heard, the whole shuffle has taken away majority of our executives. out of 6 or 7 (i think), 5 were retrenched.(4) a few of our colleagues who were on attachment from the philippines are to leave soon.(5) many of the chefs allocated to us on new year eve were here only because of the expected roaring business. i dont think they're going to back anymore. :(all was but bad news. besides these, business wasnt good yesterday.well, this was the main talk amongst the staff yesterday. but one thing im glad ; this executive who employed me was one of the 2(?) surviving ones. as he was the one who took me into this job which i very much liked, and so, had a chance to experience, there is this little twinge of gratefulness towards him. okay, at least there's still this source of comfort, out of those main demoralizing stuffs.anw, there's still work later on. evening shift today. i hope business would be a little better later on. :xwhat a way to start the new year. :(

am taking a break this whole week, so, aint working at all. am using this week to consider and think whether i still want to keep this job or not.cons (1) it's a part-time one and i've got absolutely no clue on which days the management wants me to work on. that's very bad. cuz i cant even find another part-time one to accomodate this wierd kind of schedule.(2) it'll be a really tiring and boring job if i were to change it to full-time (provided that im allowed to).(3) part-time, i wont be able to earn enough to pay off my debts! $430 to angie, $48.50 to kim. that's my first piority before i can even spend a cent on myself. it's always my principle to be free from debts/favours to anyone. so, obviously, i gotta pay them off first!(4) also part-time, i cant work everyday nor for long hours. i hate idling my time away at home or out for any meaningless activities.pros (1) so far, everyone's been very nice to me. and i dont want to leave this job where my new circle of friends are evolving. :((2) it's a joy working in this f&b + service line where i can serve and interact with customers/new ppl.(3) i've learnt many new things here. i want to put them into good use. and i dont want my teachers to feel like they've taught me for nothing, since im job-hopping.(4) in addition, i've familiarized myself with the ppl, environment and system here already. it's a pity to leave.(5) on top of all, im so happy working here.alright. i know it's certainly contradicting. in this case, i've gotta consider wisely then. :x
