{Happy Birthday, ALP ~!}

Today, we had our practicum presentation .. It was okay, though I did screw up quite a fair bit.

We didn't have the time to go through our practicum answers as a few groups exceeded the time.

For communications, Wei ling and I were on time; Wan Ping was off time; and Cheryl took too long .. So sianz ..

Cheryl said that Scott noticed that our "twins" had changed their clothes .. Hahaha .. Cute joke, will share in future ..

Chris today presented first, because .. he was to star in the "Night of Stars" ..

It was a cute song that he self composed ..

So much later, after class, we changed and went to ... the Treehouse Villas - ie Wan Ping and Wei Ling's apartment .. Went with Penny and Piriya .. It was Penny's first time there ..

After they changed too, we took a bus to Downtown Disney .. Nearly missed the bus .. Hahaha .. Luckily, the bus driver was kind hearted enough to let us on ..

Hmmm .. After reaching there, Penny decided to accompany Piriya back as they both were too sleepy, especially after doing their powerpoint slides and reheasing for their practicum presentation that morning. It was a real funny scene .. Penny and Piriya said they would be going on; so Wei Ling, Wan Ping and myself waved bye; while Cheryl had got off the bus. Once we met her, she asked where the other two were, we said they went home instead. She was slightly shocked .. Haha ..

I have no idea why but we went to .. Club Motion .. to .. see .. NIGHT OF STARS .. To support Chris .. Cause we didn't know anyone else ..

Personally, I didn't like it, because they increased the volume too tooo high, so whenever the singers hit too high a note, or too many singers through mikes, it was terrible blasting ..

They had a real, really, super cool host .. Quite a old lady whose name was Bambi .. She thoroughly entertained us through the whole session .. She had the funniest comments and was able to transit through the songs without making us feel they were rushing .. For example, she was asked what the Spanish guy was singing, she remarked, oh he was singing, "Bambi, Bambi, I love you .." And she composed the whole love song based on herself .. Hahaha .. She made the crowd cheer by emphasizing on different workplaces or housing ..

The winner wasn't as Cheryl and I expected .. Especially since the top 2 positions were off key; especially the winner .. Really BOOOO !!!

Though the tune deaf crowd cheered .. Sigh ..

Only our Chris was the deserving winner .. He won 3rd place .. Hahaha ..

After the show, we quickily left before getting stampeded on and whatsoever .. We decided to proceed with our initial plan of watching a movie .. So, we went to our 24 AMC Theatres and booked our tickets .. It was to be at 2150; when it was 2100 ..

We went to McDonald's and eat but they provided so lousy service and the food portions were ever so small .. So, I asked them, HOW CAN PEOPLE BE OVERWEIGHT BY EATING SUCH SMALL PORTIONS ?!

It was overpriced and underportions .. Sighh .. The service was bad too ..

Deciding to stick on with the plan, we rushed over to the movies, reaching there barely on time .. Oh, in this theatre, there is no fixed seating, so first come first serve .. Plus the distance between each level was big, and no one tall was in front of me, so I quite liked the theatre .. Normally, in Singapore, I really hope that sitting in front of me is a kid .. Sighh ..

We watched .. Santa Clause 3 ~~ Though I really am forgetting the first two Clauses .. It was quite cute, especially all their NGs!! Hahaha !! It is quite good lah, but if you just need the plot, it won't be worth it .. Oh, because we were cast members, it was $6 for a ticket ..

Oh, before the show, there was a catching line, "Please do not add your own soundtrack to the movie." Isn't that line cute? I remembered to switch off my handphone ..

After the movie, we went into a freezing Virgin store to look at don't-know-what, then we took the W bus and C bus home ..

Surprise, surprise, Penny and the gals might have packed the living room, leaving a trail of hair from the kitchen to the bathroom ..

OHHHHH .. Bad news, the toilet is clogged for the 4/5th time this month .. I did it .. Hahaha .. But the problem is .. I only peed .. But I on-ed the tap when the water level increased .. But it still overflowed .. Oh crap ..

Hidayah isn't that happy about us using her toilet, especially since someone solidified and did not flush it .. I feel she has been giving us a fair bit of attitude problems ..

Last but not least, NO MONEY TO BUY ALP'S PRESENT ~! So, let's hope I'll have money soon .. Hahahaha .. Any special requests? Anything from EPCOT: Japan ?? Hahaha ..

{Heard from Brennan that ..}

There was a small fire last night in one of the wiring systems. But was spotted by him and James before anything with flames appeared.

Wow again right .. Haha ..

I was breaker, and luckily due to many changes in shifts, I did not have to break the stocker ..

Something crazy came to me when I was going home. I took the guest bus to Downtown Disney instead of my A bus. I then transferred to the F bus to go home. I was earlier and managed to have the time to go to the latrine on time ~!

In short, an okay day ..

{Dreading to go to work}

Went to Wendy's for lunch with Cheryl.

Saw Je'sus there .. He said he might quit the college program; although I don't know why .. There's like around 5 weeks; 4 weeks more to graduation (for him).

Oh well ~~

So, I complained to Dan over the trip to work; then, reached work; realized I was to start work at 1500 instead .. So, got Darrin to change my time .. I worked as cashier; supposed to be busser .. hahaha .. =)

{My 2nd day off}

was spent accompanying Penny to the doctor's ..

It was about a 5 minute drive away; and about a few hours wait.

Somehow, their tests tend to be more thorough,therefore leading to a longer wait for patients and a heftier fee to pay ~~

After Penny returned, she dashed off to work; while I went to have my lunch at 1600
-.- So, I took the 1702 bus to MGM to see the dancing lights .. Will upload pictures one day ~~ Hahaha ..

After about a while, I got tired and bored; so I bade Cheryl goodbye and headed home ..

I came home to find .. Penny !! She said she got sent to Epcot medical to vertify her doctor's note, afterwhich, she was certified not healthy enough to work. So, she got the next few days off without getting any demerit points .. So, she was happy; and finally she gets her rest ..

Not being a motherly figure, she only went to get her medicine at night when Piriya started nagging at her. She had sent her time watching youtube on her laptop since the time she came home .. Hahaha ..

{Let me update for today.}

I'm 3/4 awake, surviving on Oxygen shared with my room mate now.

It was an interesting day today.

After work yesterday at 0000, reaching home by 1245, I stayed up all night, and took a bathe at 4AM to go for a 14-hour shopping spree.

Tireded? Indeed, I fell asleep on the benches waiting for the girls (Geraldine, Lee Min and Cheryl) twice. Lee Min fell asleep at the shop itself unknowingly coming to the end of the day ..

We had a super fulfilling shopping trip. Personally, I spent $125; owing Lee Min $50, and Cheryl $24 (See, I put in the money from lunch at AK!!) And using my POSB Mastercard for the jackets, since they cost $70.

I bought: perfume - smells like the girl-girl type, a hat, lip gloss, make up remover, a jacket and a short pants for use when I return home. Da dang ~! Money spent.

We were looking for stuff at 0507 -.- when we arrived with Iris, her friends Alex and Dale. And after combing through the shops that were opened at that time, we slowly started shopping .. Saw the other girls at Apple ..

To cut at 14-hour shopping trip short, we had dinner at 16+- hours enjoying a New Orleans Seafood something with horrible tasting rice (of course, Cheryl and I skipped it), and Chicken something with lots of mashed potato (which I didn't eat much) .. They had salads while I just feasted on the scraps of the entrees ..

Shopping trip description would really be fun. Nothing beats going out with a bunch of crazy girls who feel absolutely comfortable with talking to each other (good or bad), who love each other, and know each other's tastes .. Not including, be willing to spend heaps of money, and help each other carry bags ..

This marked the end of the shopping trip with an estimate of 7 bags from all of us ..

{Happy Turkey(Thanksgiving) Day ~!}

Yeahh .. It wasn't as busy as expected; mainly because Kona was serving authetic turkey, when we only have turkey clubs (ie turkey ham) .. Hahaha .. It's a joke I cracked ok !!

So, luckily for me, I was busser; I just needed to clean tables, sweep floors, talk to guests, clear trash and the weather wasn't as cold ..

There was also free turkey meat since Kona had purchased 2000 turkeys =) More than enough to feed both guests and cast members :)

Today, I felt happy; because I felt my guests snubbed the manager I didn't particularly like .. Why so? Because there was this kid (teenager), who walked into the shop and was looking around, so she said "hi" and suddenly when I appeared he smiled and said "Hi Donna" Hahahahaahaha .. See ~! The impact of me working as cashier for 8 hours ..

I must be so very the chio ~! Hahahaha ..

Ok, updated: I went with Geraldine to try and get lunch this morning, but failed due to the closure of both Wendy's and Chick-Fill-A, no thanks to Thanksgiving .. So, went to Yiwen's house, and really feel like out of place there .. Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful that I'm living with a clean freak who obviously suits my lifestyle alot. She only makes me pack when I am free .. Thanksgiving to a happier day .. Thanksgiving to two days off in a row .. Really thanks to my Abba Father for supporting me all the way ~! And for making me all so the very chio ~!

Thanks to Mike today, for sending me home and for getting me a turkey meal from Kona Cafe ~! Hahaha ..
