Maine called me this morning.

"Why didn't you called me back?" She demanded as soon as asked her 'What You Want?'.

"You called?"

"You are supposed to call me back, remember?"

"Oh That! Haha...I thought you are supposed to call me back" Now I remeber. I did received a call from her yesternoon, while having Bak Kut Teh with Yong and Kevin.

"Liar!" That's her verdict. I didn't even have the chance to fight for my case. Well... That's what you get (most of the time) when you have a bitch for a best pal. You can't have the best of both world. Haha.

Anyway, she was complaining about her life. About how boring it was and all. She said, "Everytime he made me angry, he will buy me chocolate. And when he book out on thursday, we will have dinner!"

"Uh-huh..."

"But we can't even stay out late as HE has to send his brother home!" She end that off with a distress note.

"Huh? He have to send his brother home?"

"Yes... I'm only 21 and I don't want to led a life of a 40 years old!" Sounding as distress as ever.

"Uh-huh..."

"Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes... Though I'm single, but yar, I understand!"

I was digging in my cupboard earlier on, when I saw my collection on TY toys there. In case you don't know, TY toys are actually soft toys. It contain beans in em, instead of te normal wool. Thus earn them the name, Beanie Babies. This line of soft toys is like no others you can find out there. Each of them come with a birthday, if I ain't wrong, their birthday is the day that they were 'sewn together'. And after sometime, it was made 'retired', as in the company won't make that particular design anymore. So, it's worth a collection. The other thing worth mentioning is that the material that they used, when held under the light, will sort of give a shimmering effect.

I'd stopped collecting for a long time already, ever since poly? However, I bought one last year, a ghost. It's a halloween special, which add 2 out of 3 to my collection. I don't have the first one, because when I start my collection, it had already retired.

The only other person who is into this collection, in my family, was my Da-jie, Joanne. She'd some of the cool ones that I don't even have. For example, Scorch the Dragon.

There used to be this place in Wheelock that sell the beanies. The Beanie Barn. The beanies sold in this shop cost slightly more because the owner actually went down to the factory to handpick the very good one. The one that are sewn together properly.

It sure brought back lotsa memory. I feel kinda old...

Today is my last night here in Singapore, and for the next 2 weeks, I'll be away to Tekong. I heard lots of people say, "Serving N.S will turn a boy into men!" In my own opinion, that's a very lame statement. It must be made by some egoistic man, who happen to find that serving N.S is a 'Wow' factor in life. Don't laugh, don't be amaze, because I really come across taht certain someone.

I remebered coming across this statement, "It's women who turn boys into men!" (That I agree) haha...

Anyway, I met up with my cousins yesterday. Initially, was supposed to meet up with Joanna but her wisdon tooth got the better of her, so have to call it of. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her since Secondary School. The closest to it, if my memory desn't fail me, is when we went back to celebrate our results. My batch happened to help our school get into the top 40 or whatever. The treat? A splendid (as if) spread of buffet which include chwee kueh... Seriously, I don't have the face and heart to name out the others 'spectacular' dish.

I went over to Mei's house and we had pizza. I don't have to pay as it was Ying Qi's treat. Haha. Fay was there. I haven't seen her for quite a long time, ever since my birthday celebration. As usual, she was going on about her weight.

After which, Mei had to go out and meet Jason (Zhong Se Qin You...Haha), which leave the 3 of us. We went Jurong Point, and spend the next few hours getting into one of those chats. It's really great. The feeling I mean. Tell me, what could be more fun then sitting down with some of your best cousin and had a chat over coffee and cakes.

How we all chat.

How we all laughed.

I think, by the time I'm out of there, it be X-mas eve. Cya. Till then~~

Yesterday morning, the girls sort of gave me a 'send off' celebration by meeting up for a KTV session. I'm refering to the ones whom I hang out with most of the times during my stay in Poly. Namely, Lifen, Cindy and the one and only Shirmaine Seow.

We had a hell lot of fun. As usual, Lifen and Cindy get their butt glue onto the torn and tattered cushioned seat. Wheras Shirmaine and I just get onto our feet and stand on the seat, start dancing away.

Cindy once told Shirmaine, "Keelin go KTV very high one!"

Shirmaine, whom so happen to be in the same catergory as I do, told her, "We are just being us!" She's true. What's KTV without a bit of action?

Halfway through, we get into one of those 'being pretty' for their case and 'being handsome' for my case sort of conversation. Shirmaine just wear that haughty look, toss her long hair and said, "No lah... I just got hundreds of clicks in Friendster only!"

I just looked at her. Somehow, somewhere inside me just tell me to not let her have her moment of triumph. I just tell her flatly, "That's because they couldn't see your double chin in that picture you post in it!" Cindy who was sitting beside me throw in that at the same time.

The result? I was being bitch slapped by Shirmaine in the upper arm area.

After the KTV, I met up with my prat pal Weilong cum girlfriend for lunch at KFC. Specially requested by me. That fucker! Instead of giving me some traditional consolation, he just kept on splashing those cold water over me... and over again.

I then decided that, as usual, I have to pull him out of that sick trance. So I said, "I don't know why I even bother to meet you up. I don't even get that from Shirmaine. She still gave me some consolation... Unlike you...!"

Judd was given the boot. I'm refering to Survivor by the way. This taught me something. It's a real world out there. People are always ready with their knife to slit each other throat. Trust no one, other than yourself. As usual, after the show end, my hand phone ring.

I just flipped open my phone and, "Yes!"

"That show... Did you watch that show?" Shirmaine asked. Somehow, I can sensed that she is somewhat too loss for words.

"Yes... I got watch.. Judd is being voted out!"

"That show... That show...!" Oh my god! How many time she plan to repeat that anyway? I was about to say , "We've been through that!" When she say, "Bitch...and Bastard!"

After much hesitation, I'd finally bought myself a copy of Santana latest CD, All That I Am. I get to know his existence through 'The Game of Love'. A collaboration between him and Michelle Branch. And again, it's their collaboration that I'd bought the CD. This time round, it's 'I'm Feeling You'. Both of them really make a great combo.

It's going to be a very busy month for me. With X-mas just round the corner, Orchard be packed full of people doing their shoppings.

Today, I come across two very warm customer. They just make you feel very 'worth it'. Ended up, I managed to sell them some of the Bratz collection and the Megamorph. I get a shock by the amount they spent. Haha.

One thing that still pissed me off is the fact that people are asking the obvious. They want toys that are very cheap yet don't like the place where they were manufactured. Come on, it's every cent paid for the quality you get. Worse, they just love to say, "Can help me test!"

I have this sick urge to tell them, "Then you don't buy better!" However, I think my boss would sack me for that! What to do? The customer is always very right even when they are wrong. As usual, I give it my best with my smile.

______________________________

Had been very busy these few days. If everything goes according to plan, I will be put in charge of ISETAN Scotts. My pay is higher there, which I'm very happy of. My job? Make sure that the promoters didn't slack. As what Joanne, my colleague, told me, "Qi Lin, you don't do! Get them to do and you oversee it!"

I was, at that time, shifting the toys to make them look appealing. My mindset is, I'm there, I'm free, why not? I mean, I start off as a promoter, which is like 4 years ago, and naturally, I know what kind of shit they have to go through. Stand there for 8 hours, smiling, and playing the toys. Even if the toys are boring, you still have to make it seem that it is so very beyond fun.

Just yesterday, Joanne pulled me aside to tell me not to be too-friendly with the promoter, for fear that they step all over me in the future. Come on. It's bad enough that you have to stand there for 8 hours (be it willingly or unwillingly), what for add people bossing you around to that?

I told Shirmaine the other day that we (promoter ) are even earning less then the prostitues. Basically, we do the same things. Stand there, smile, waiting for customer to come. The only difference is that we won't be carrying an umbrella, and of course having sex.

I just feel like slapping some of the customers at time. Just yesterday, I came across a very hao-lian one. The way she walked, and she looked at people, is like she is the richest woman in the world. When she is out of my sight, I just turned to my promoter and tell them, "She si beh hao lian! Cannot Tahan!"

I'm going to get Santana CD tml!"
