juz came back frm work
im so happy dat MSD called me back! even tho its juz for one day..
coz im freaking bored rotting at hm.
*nah, i tink i like going dere more of coz its office ladies galore!!* =X
n they want me to work for another 2 days nxt wk!
yay~!!

working dere relli helped to improve my technical skills
now i know how to operate..
the mailer *aka franking machine*, the office photocopier, papercutter, tape dispenser *for sealing boxes ala deliveryman style* n laminating machine.

and relli opened my eyes as to how office environment is like.
i managed to clear up many common misconceptions related to ppl working in the office.
for example... (i'll provide the anecdotes too)
grace: "can u stay for the whole day instead of just half a day?"
me: "sure. just don't tell me to come back tmr."
grace: "huh! tmr is a holiday wad! u funny lei u!"
office guy: "ya! i have to change to another color.. they said it was too dull. the director even wanted it to be gold."
grace: "whoah.."
office guy: "that's why! he wanted it to look boomz."
grace: "boomz??" *stunned upon hearing the word for the first time*
*as im walking in between desks..*
*turns head to the left.. sees an elegant office lady in her white dress picking up documents frm the photocopier..*
*turns head to the right.. sees a classy office lady adjusting her shawl coz she's feeling cold wearing a black dress that reveals a lot of skin..*
*turns head to the left again.. sees another lady in a stunning blue dress making coffee..*
*looks ahead n tries to rmb why im walking down this way in the first place..* =/


gosh. i lurvve this job. =D

i was having another look at my current blog template
and reminiscing how far i came ever since my first blogskin
with almost every yr u can expect me to whip up a new blog template
den i realised i've been bringing over the links page blindly w/o
removing all the acquaintances that i haven't even talked to for almost like 5yrs now

so, i did a cleaning spree
removed all the inactive blogs
and/or those acquaintances that no longer linked me back
n so now my list of links is super truncated..
diz actually feels lonely.
lolz~

it's the truth and it shld be faced
i don't have that many frens rite now do i?
even my loyal readers are becoming extinct
oh well, that's life.
u haf to move on. =/

but nah, my blog isn't gonna close down any time soon
where else can i showcase my web design software experimentations
besides, where else can u find a science student
tinkering with all these softwares which even some IT students get sick of.

sitex @ expo 27-29 nov!
decision: to buy arctosa or juz go wif a simple microsoft keyboard?
find out in 2 wks time. =D

it's thursday!
i luv thursdays coz its TV day!
which means i can slack in my rm wif the aircon on
n watch tv frm 7pm to 9.30pm! yay! =D

i wonder when this 'fantasy' will end
im still waiting for the damned enlistment letter
its taking far too long
n the nsportal's e-services doesn't seem to be working either
i've finally gotten my pes status tho
C1L2 + no upper limb activities..
lets hope they allow me to at least throw a grenade. =/

anyway, this keyboard is seriously irritating the sh!t out of me
i *tried* to soften the keys by playing typing maniac on fb
in the hopes that it will 'season' the keyboard..
n nt only dat im getting obscenely pathetic scores in dat game,
its freaking nt working.
my keyboard is still as stiff as ever. =(
urgh.. IT fair come faster pls.
i nid a new keeyybboooaaarrrddd. =/

while we're on this topic..
rmb my 26th oct post on dat gay superhero?
if u took a closer look at how he transforms, he uses USB flash drives
diff USB flash drives will result in diff forms!
so anyway, datz besides the pt.
the pt is, they are gonna start selling replicas which will work as normal thumbdrives


doesn't it look so cool?? o.O
i'd be tempted to buy if it didnt cost USD $77 a piece
and datz nt inclusive of all the trouble u nid to go thru
to import it frm japan..
zzz

i'm feeling so relieved rite now
coz i'm finally done wif working at MSD!
yay!
no more needing to wake up at 7am
stoning on the bus for 1hr,
before rushing a tight deadline for the upcoming event they're organizing
my hands are full of papercuts right now
all thx to the goodie bags i had to pack..
the paper bag was SHARP okay..

overall, it was an interesting experience
gained quite a bit in terms of character building
i was forced to be less introvert
coz every now n den im called out to find someone:
ie. "go find jasmine" "ask grace for the supplies" "u need to find estee for that"
it's relli a gd thing the place is full office ladies in their 30s
at least they're nice. =)

i realised smth cool abt my supervisor at the old job @ NSC n the recent one @ MSD
the both of them can't pronounce my full name for nuts
n i usually prefer nt to be called by just parts of my name
coz it will sound weird. =/
*pls, juz call me "wyd" if u relli can't pronounce my full name*
anyway, here's the interesting part
back @ NSC, when i ans my supervisor's phonecall..
"'Wah', can u please come up to my rm?"
while at @ MSD, when i ans my supervisor's phonecall..
"'Yudin', come over to my office right now"
wow. geez.. i shld get them to meet or smth.
maybe they'll end up finishing each other's sentences. =/

anyway, it was my last day
(supposed to be a 1wk affair, but extended by another day due to the sheer workload)
so decided to do smth special wif my clothings as usual *nah, no pink shirt this time*
did u know the queue for the free shuttle bus service to ngee ann poly is beside the queue for bus 107 (aka direct bus to my workplace)?
nvm, i shall narrate wad happened anyway. =D
i headed down to the bus interchange which was a quick 1min walk frm my hse..
walked down towards the back of the extremely long line for the shuttle service..
wif quite a number of the kids looking to see if they know me since im wearing my bro's ngee ann poly polo tee
so yeah, i saw a few heads turn while a few other eyes were trailing me..
but i was coolly walking with my earpiece on, listening to some eurobeat..
smugly bypassing the np shuttle service queue n settling myself down at the 107 waiting line. =D
by this time i can feel so many eyes staring at me wif a *wtf!?* speech bubble on their heads. XD

okay, enough on my job.
i freaking nid a new keyboard
my old one has several keys spoilt
and this current make-do one my bro lent me is so stiff!
it takes so much effort to press a key
so much so that sometimes the key gets stuck in its depressed state after pressing
wth rite.
time to get razer arctosa. =/

so after 2 fridays ago being wasted on getting a dumb x-ray of my arm @ cmpb
last friday was.. interesting. i guess?

doc: "do u know why u r here?"
me: *starts explaining abt the history of my left arm n how i cannot possibly be in pes A*
doc: "if given a chance, wld u like to receive training like wad everyone else goes thru?"
me: "noo... i don't want history to repeat itself."
doc: "u mean breaking ur arm again?"
me: "yeap."

now for the interesting part..
doc: "okay.. given that u still haf ur implants in ur arm,"
me: *smiles.*
doc: "i'm going to put u thru modified bmt"
in my mind: *lol wtf. after all that medical reports saying i underwent 2 surgeries, one to put in implants n the other to remove them.. and i even JUST TOOK an x-ray AT THAT SAME VENUE the previous wk which CLEARLY shows that i no longer haf those implants.. they still think im bionic!? coolshiet. i'll juz smile for now. =D*

lets cut the chase.
the final verdict on my pes status?
doc: "u dun haf to do push ups, or chin ups for that matter."
me: "okay.. so wads my pes status?"
doc: "we will send u a letter wif ur confirmed pes status in a mth's time."
after all that, their true nature of being very "efficient" still prevails. =/


and so, i went to get a job to make full use of my time left
n within onli a few hrs, i got one. =D
thx again audrey~
diz time its for merck sharp & dohme @ the concourse
jobscope: admin & packing
yay. i love admin jobs. peaceful stuff. =)

n so earlier today was my first day at my new job.
i tink i single-handedly prepared like 3k invites sent out to docs n profs all across sg for some talk on lipids by a foreign speaker
the damn cool part was when i first met my supervisor
supervisor(talking in moderately fast spd): "okay. wad i nid u to do now is to frank the envelopes. so you can just- *insert slipshod explanation over here which the onli thing i keep hearing is the word "frank" "frank" "frank"*. after u have franked the envelopes, come find me at my desk."
finally she asks: "okay, so any qns?"
me: "uhh... wad's frank?" o.O

working dere is quite pleasant;
well, of coz dat is if u were to compare
to the ppl currently stuck on a certain small island;
who are spending their days training under the hot sun
smelling each other's B.O.
in a testosterone rich environment
while i spent the day in an aircon office
in an estrogen dominant environment
smelling a soft scent of perfume whenever someone walks past
im in heaven~
lolz!

n i seriously haf no idea why every 30mins or so
a random office lady will approach me say stuff like:
"you want a drink?"
"coke? green tea? it's all in the fridge at the back. =)"
"there's also biscuits in the pantry if you're hungry"
i'll juz turn to face them n smile n politely say "its okay."
n stare at the way she manages to type on her laptop wif one hand n eat chips wif the other. o.O

but, im onli gonna work dere till the end of diz wk!!
noooo.... =(
