sentosa vs MRC

Now, i enjoy working at mediacorp more than sentosa :) hahahaaa.. Sentosa can be stressful and i am sick and tired of saying the same stuff.

24th to 26th Dec were horror days working at sentosa. We had this new system of re organising the crowd and people were really confused. Some were un happy as half of the fountain gardens - we had to chase them away. People were going in via the covered passageway and crowd controlling was done there too.

24th

was ROTTEN. Everyone were LOST. in wonderland? A lot of last minute announcements.

25th

ok ok BUT 2 shows! Damn tired

26th

not too bad la. But still prefer the old system :)

continuation

I discussed about the recent red cross thing :) now i shall continue to blog about sentosa.

The long post i blogged but it was gone had some things about the sentosa i/c(s) aka in charge

come to think of it, sentosa is the job that i have stayed the longest. It is even longer than my t-est days. I stayed at t-est for only 4 months LOL.

Now there are i/cs among us. They are much higher paid with a $2 bonus per hour. Justin and zilin are current ics. I do not like zi lin loz. And i am not going to bother even she reads it. What's wrong with don't like someone? Calista also disliked me very much. She even blogs about me in the cip blog. So i am mr. unpopular bahx... hahaha. So sad.

Disliking someone all have reasons de. For zilin's case, i find zilin too aggressive at times when there isn't need for it. she can be more amiable. She also frequently ask questions that sound stupid. When it my duty, she sometimes make crude remarks like i should stay at my place and stuff. I mean My gate is centre gate. Now I got 2 sides. Why can't i just walk over?

i am always doing that stupid debrief. since the seniors - karen, kak rose and attraction staff are posted there, I never had the chance to hold the walkie or hear for announcements. zi lin is always crazy 1. When she like it, she will throw me to sijori path, the ulu place which is really lonely. They don't rotate places 1. Bus stop is always the same folks. Lower/upper east or west --> the folks tending the place always sound familiar. Haiyo. Why don't they do some rotation? If they make mega changes. It creates the usual expectation in the positioning. For the next few months in my life, i expect myself to be standing at the centre gate.

Justin is ok la, but it is really very ironic. Who found him this job? Me. Why? I introduced the job to daus, then daus told justin. Justin came in later and yet rose to be ic. I am still a tiny fly. Sigh.....

last christmas i gave you my heart, this chrstmas you gave it away...

Well, i am VERY angry with myself as i spent an hr typing some things that happened and it was gone becasue i fell ASLEEP :( My mum switches off the computer using the "direct" way and it disturbs me as it would not save anything. My 4-5 paragraphs of blogging is just gone like this
:(.

let me reblog abt 17th dec...

I had this human domino thing in the early morning. I was laughing like crazy as jia ming, who was behind me, kept saying it felt like he was giving birth. HAHAHA. :)

Later, we had this red cross home visit, for rotaract club. So charmaine was the overall in charge. We were carolling some christmas songs with NP strings, all thanks to xian zhi and company :) I managed to catch violists to play christmas carols for our project yay!!!! :) So it went on well.

The choir was largely guys. there was like a lot of guys from yan jie's group- the ex swiss cottage folks. The regular people like shu ning, jessie, dannia were like quite shocked to see so many new members. It was quite shocking as i did not expect all to come - from yan jie's section. HAHA. Until now i still don't know who is who. Never did intro, because of our stupid board. Charm kept saying later. I wanted to have it at canteen 1, but charm said until we go canteen 2. Guess what? We did not do intro afterall. The rotarians came and were busily talking to the board members. Urgh. haha.

The singing was fine but i noticed that there was not much reaction from the patients. We just kept singing and they continued to sleep or making weird noises that no one can comprehend.

The place is fine, but i really pitied these folks. Some wards reeked of urine. Some had radio turned on. Our violins livened up the place but the response was very slow. Some were grateful only when we passed them the goodie bag we prepared for them. I did not pack the bags, but only helped in finding the place to buy cheap things. :)

After the event, the rotarians drove us back to ngee ann. Charm gave out chocolates that could glow in the dark. How cool can it get!

some of our board members, me and members went to eat at cathay cineleisure. We ate at Kobayashi and it was not bad! :)

We wanted to sing, so we went to k box to sing. Had a really great time with xy, soon chye, kit and poh leong. Sang like crazy people. Soon began to play with the snacks as they were refillable. Some songs were sang really badly. Some were fine. Some was good.

The last song was most memorable as Soon began to meddle with the tempo to vary its pitch. I was also playing and poor xiao ying had to sing at the various pitches. Xiao ying was prepared to finish the song so she juz sang as calm as she could. Damn funny. laughed like a crazy person... hehe.

Later, xy, kit and i went to dhoby ghaut's arcade to play. Had a great time. What a long day!!!! :):) Never had so much fun for quite a while already.

continued in nxt post

aiyo..........



Now i am this cosy environment of the Bulk Photocopying shop. LOL. As if it is really cosy... :S hahaha.

I am waiting for the auntie to come back from the library as she went to service the cashcard reader at the library's internet cafe.

Today, we had this human domino thing. It was quite fun la. But tiring at the same time. The sun was glaring at us as if we offended him. Hehe. There was a a runner would run pass the track field, waving the Ngee Ann Flag. We would lying flat down like the domino thingy.

Charmaine and I went to the 3rd floor of library to print the song sheets for the event. I was angry with the printer as i thought it would be printing 4 pages followed by 4 pages. We never know that it print all the page 1s all at once. :( Wasted lots of money and paper. What the hell!

Yesterday was fine. Had CATS and Mr. Bala is again LECTURING again. I noticed Mr Bala loves to lecture than tutoring. He loves to talk and talk about our human brain, so and so and the stuff we learnt. He loves to talk about the curiousity of small kids. He loves to tell us our brain cells are dying. HAHA.

Well, work was fine too. EXCEPT EXCEPT...
Does everybody knows I'm working at Mediacorp? :)

I love swipping my card as it feels great to swipe the card and enter. Hehe.

I work as a validator for surveys, which means i call people up to confirm their details and ask some questions to ensure that the data collected is valid. It can be quite a tough job at times as the people I called may be quite difficult. The last project i did was on validating childcare surveys. That one was fine but some refused to be validated. Some sounded quite unhappy as it is a sort of disturbance. I agree that it may be quite disturbing, but what can we do?

It is my job and since you have did this survey, we have to make sure that the person did come to the person's house or the details are correct. I called up some cases and there the age is wrong, which means the data have to be thrown away... Hm.. I photcopied ny things le.. blog later...

.................

I am feeling so old that i could cry.... Well. I have not been feeling well these past few day :(

Sore throat

cough

fever

headache

flu


Yesterday, I had to force myself to go to school. I was really ob the verge of not going as I felt really old :( Luckily, my fever and headache began to wear off after 15 minutes taking panadol.

However, I realised taking panadol will never solve the problem ultimately. I am just taking it to supress the problem. My voice still sounds very bad. I still feel old :(

Hence. I went to see a doctor yesterday. I did not work. But I still felt very very tired. Until now, I still feel very uncomfortable. :( I just need a lot and a lot of rest. And there goes my projects. I am so sorry members, if i cannot do so much work. My brain cannot function that well either....
