Major Sorry

i'm sorry. i know i said i'd post asap, but things have been really hectic recently

havent been sleeping late recently so been blogging less. and the internet here is really unstable wirelessly.

anyway. here's what has happened recently.


DECEMBER 28th

We moved from Castle Green to Serangoon. i now live at serangoon central, block 201. zheng hui lives just 7 blocks down, at 208. i wasnt there at the move though. I spent that day at job training. but when i returned to the new house.. shit. BOXES, just freaking EVERYWHERE. its like the house is BOXTOPIA. i lived in BOXVILLE. i had to like climb over boxes to get to the toilet, dig a little tunnel in the boxes to get to the bedroom and change, then swim in Lake Box to get to the dining room to eat. then sleep in little boxes in the bedroom. lol.

IN BETWEEN

Well, more job training, but at the same time, the place is clearing up more and more. so its good.

JANUARY ZERO/ DECEMBER 31st

yay. new year and such. had plans to meet up with the starbucks group, but then thanks to someone else's bbq event being planned earlier, THAT I WAS NOT INVITED TO. they all couldnt make it. so i spent new years at home. by my self. in the kitchen. with my mom. and the tv.

but well, mom let me finish the gin, so there was GnT, and she also bought some breezers. so i guess it was okay.

JANUARY 3rd

First day of work. I woke up at 2:30. the bus came at 3:50 to pick me. there were already a whole bunch of people there. (it was a private bus.. or more of a mini van)

so we got to the airport at about 4+, work began at 6:40. we had to wear these orange shirts.

lol. anyway. i was stationed at T2, the departure hall. its surprisingly easy to spot someone that looks lost. it just feels like they're lost. anyway. what happened today was that 7 flights were diverted to Terminal 3. and so my main mission was to direct those who were at the wrong terminal to t3.

there were like 20? i thought most of them would be excited that they could take off at the new terminal, but most were actually pissed. it was something like this:

ME: Good Morning, can i help you find your check in counter?
PAX: oh yes, that would be great,
ME: okay, can i have your flight number?
PAX: okay uh, its SQ 3...
ME: SQ318?
PAX: ah, yeah.
ME: I see, well, SQ318, bound for London Heathrow right? its been moved to terminal three.
PAX: WHAT?!
ME: im sorry, it was a last minute thing. you see, our new terminal is scheduled to open on January the Ninth, so we're doing a dry run today, to make sure the airp.....
PAX: OH NICE. so WE get the FREAKING DRY RUN.
ME: You were supposed to be informed, i see you didnt recieve the call?
PAX: OF COURSE WE DIDNT RECEIVE A CALL. WHY WOULD WE BE HERE OTHERWISE?
ME: im really sorr..
PAX: When was the flight changed?!
ME: Just today i think. i was just told this morning. (lie)
PAX: Nice. very nice.
ME: Our new terminal is a really nice place, im sure you'll enjoy it. can i show you the way?
PAX: Get om with it.
ME: okay you just follow the sign to the skytrain........

thats what happened. well. it kinda sucked, being shouted at by people you dont even know. but it was interesting none the less. lol.

JANUARY 7th

today. back to manfield to pick up my shirt and my name tag. then down to the airport to get my airport pass made. (unrestricted access to transit and dufry area!!!) whole thing took forever. thank goodness there are people like danah in the world. makes everything funnier. lol. danah is my colleague. he's doing a degree for mass com in melbourne. he's 23. and he thinks desmond is gay. dont have a pic. but i can show you two of my other colleagues.

these two are from mayflower.


This here is Alton. He's uber busy. he has like 214301 part time jobs a day, and he's always talking to some boss/colleague/client on his phone. he just graduated from his Normal Acad course in Mayflower secondary and is currently waiting for his 'O' level results. Alton is 17, and currently single.


this is Alif. he points out the most obvious things. he also finds the smallest things interesting/funny. he never tells lies. he's not christopher. he's the kinda guy that girls don't realise they want to be with until they know him. he graduated from Mayflower last year, (2006) and is currently taking tourism in ITE. he's working here attached with ITE for his course. he's not stupid. when you talk to him, you know. and i just want to state here, just because someone is from ITE doesnt mean they're stupid. a lot of my colleagues are from ITE and they're way better than i am in many ways. so yeah. Alif is currently single..

.. i think.


I have no picture of danah, dinah or desmond. i'l try to get one on wednesday.


CURRENT


well. PAE sucks. i have so much planned out. but stupid PAE is hogging up all of her time. time is running out. and.. i dont know. i think i'll blow it.

did i mention jamming? well, it was okay. we worked on dream on some more. no recording though. sam kept messing up the recording some how. he kept doing stupid things like shouting into the mike, or making "farts" with his bass. so we have no recording of the song. keith was there though, he did one copy of How you remind me. it was okay i guess. im not putting it up here though.

psh. its 23:13 and i havent showered yet. so.. i guess im off. come back soon. i'll do my best to give you posts.
