The good times

I look at this picture and I miss the girls all over again.

I miss reading out random stories on Fmylife.com, whining about how much I hate doing a particular report, humming/ singing to the tunes of Lady Gaga, taking random pictures and dressing up to the themes, checking out shoes together during lunch breaks, having fun (ok fun for me since I didn't steam alot of clothes) steaming clothes backstage, et al.

Let's meet up soon!! ♥

Maybe third time's the charm

I'm quite amazed with myself for being so calm and collected after knowing that I've failed again. After knowing my results, I immediately made my way down to the top-up kiosk to top-up my account so I can book my test date and revision sessions on the spot unlike the previous time where I just left the place fuming.

No drama, not even a thread of anger felt this time around. Maybe just a couple of tears were let loose, but other than that, I felt quite okay. Maybe just a little disappointed, but that's all.

Haha, I wanna laugh. I got the same test route (damned test route 8!) again and I messed up my vertical parking which I never had any problem doing previously, so tell me how can anyone be unluckier than me? I can only sum up everything about my test in 2 words: damn sway. Not only that, my instructor was damn anal. He actually marked me down for changing lane too early for the U-turn when there weren't any cars behind me on the right lane all the time! 0.o

Him having a bad impression of me didn't help I guess. He was calling out to me in the room but I didn't hear him because I was tuned to my iPod. In the circuit, I turned left instead of turning right as instructed. *I swear I didn't know what my hands were doing!!*

Anyways, I've revised my strategy for the next test already.
The last time I was joking that I should wear a short skirt and tie up my hair because:
1) I give him something to be distracted about, so he wouldn't be so focused on my driving skills
2) You can't fault me for not checking my blind spots because hey, my ponytail was swinging what. It wouldn't swing if I didn't check my blind spots!
Last time, say say only. This time around, I'm really gonna do that hahaha!

Other than that, I've booked it on a Monday (so there's no way that they have met their quota for the week), and at a timeslot that testers would wanna rush back to BBDC for their lunch break. Shrewd I know, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Maybe third time's the charm :)

In less than 12 hours' time, I'll be taking my driving test again.

This time, I will not ask for favourable road conditions et al.

This time, I'm not asking for challenges that match my capabilities, but for my capabilities to match up to the challenges I will face in the morning. :)

Yes I can do it!

Hissing of aerosol sprays, seniors wielding make-up brushes over our faces, the running through of routines, chants and cheers, and putting our best smiles forward; Welcome to the world that I was part of, three years back.

Last Sunday, I found myself back at the competition ground (like every year since graduation as a spectator) to witness an event that all cheerleaders had been waiting for, to show everyone what they had been training for in under a couple of minutes. Being at the competition ground strangely feels like coming home because I see familiar faces and some of which I personally know. I was there to show support for my girlfriends and former cheerleading team Magnum Force, and I was waiting to see what teams were going to bring to the competition mats this year.

And I must say, the standards had improved by leaps and bounds. Almost every team attempted to do arabesques, heel stretches, scales and scorpions, and incorporated gymnastics as well unlike previous years where teams placed more focus on pyramids. I get the goosebumps when I see them doing stunts. You know which songs had made impact on us when you hear them in cheer mixes. ;) The competition was stiff, unlike in the past where it was obvious which team would take home the champion trophy. And it was a fashion parade as well, with each team strutting their stuff in their spiffy uniforms.

I'm really proud of my juniors for they had proved themselves worthy and took the champions trophy in the High School category. Their hard work really paid off :) And needless to say, I'm damn proud of my girls as well! They trained hard and came in 1st in the All-girls stunts category and even received the Best Newcomer award in the category :) What else can I say but sweet, sweet victory.

Of course, there's no point holding a competition if there isn't anyone around at the event. I love soaking in the atmosphere, and watching people cheer their hearts out for the cheerleaders :) And I'm amazed that Mr Chia still remembers our names! He really has a good memory... It's heartening to see the school show their unwavering support for the team.

And.. I'm thankful that my favourite person accompanied me down for this event and he had a glimpse of the world I was involved in. Seems like it's a small world... I didn't know we shared a number of mutual friends hehe!

Anyways, lemme end this entry with a picture with the girls: great job done! ;)

The 2nd last day

Time really flies huh? Unknowingly, 4 weeks whizzed by just like that.

I'm having mixed feelings: I'm quite happy that I had such a great experience here at CLEO, and am quite ready to head back to MTV (more time to sleep in, lunchtime gym sessions back on, convenience in meeting my favourite person for lunch or after work, et al), but at the same time I'm sad that the time has come for my new friends *sobsob* and I to say goodbye. =( I'll miss all the sexual innuendos, the random reading out of funny stories on Fmylife.com, and the many conversations we shared man...

Anyways, I know we'll keep in touch, at least via Plurk.com :) These girls are for keeps!

Man, I think I had countless "I had the longest day of my life" days in the past few weeks. (X-X)
I used to say, if I can get through this day, I can get through any day. Now, I'm not so sure man, I think dropping dead would be an easier way out hahaha! Oh, I'm still quite pissed off with receiving text messages early in the morning on a Sunday morning. I know I usually get up by 8ish-9, but common sense will tell you that sending me 3-4 messages within a short span of 30 minutes is just not acceptable when I've been so sleep deprived for the past weeks! *grrr*

This week had been crazy busy, and I can hear the taxi-drivers laughing their way to the bank man. Other than getting busy with the Bachelors' party preparation, I've got after-work activities as well so by the time I get back home, I take my shower and I'm off to bed after making a call to my favourite person.

Okay, Friday was probably one of the craziest, busiest, most stressful days I ever had. I can't remember the last time that I've felt this way where my hands were shaking slightly and my brain was churning a million thoughts per second. I'm thankful that I've got an awesome sister who came by to pass me my handphone charger because my phone was really dying and she saved my day like she did before in the past. *beams* I know I can always count on her!

Cabbed down to Zirca after the event to help out. Helped in steaming clothes, stood in for some dude at the rehearsals, went through the rundown for stage, retrieved outfits for bachelors, etc. I'm actually very thankful that I got the easiest job (I think), just needed to bring up games props and prizes, escort presenters onto the stage and off the stage.. just that I really got to play by ear. After the party it was damn chaotic. We were all rushing to pack the clothes and other misc stuff because the vans were here to pick up the items. This is one part that I don't enjoy! And we didn't take much pictures with the girls because we were all so busy =( After I was done with everything, went to look for Jennifer. That girl bought me a drink and then met the guy who picked her up, chatted for a while and left because I gotta start my Saturday bright and early.

Okay lah, this is a damn wordy entry, will blog more later on. So many things to blog about and I still haven't finished blogging about my KL trip with my favourite girls. Will do so soon!

It's been a long day today, but tomorrow will be an even longer day.

Today had been really busy, finishing up the last snippet (got to rework it again, damnit!), sorting out and styling the bachelors' attire, snapping pictures of the outfits, packing them into boxes to be couriered, rushing down town for product launch, rushing back to sew on velcro on shirt, etc.

Tomorrow, I foresee lotsa last minute stuff to be done before the party... Please let it be a smooth-sailing event and that we are able to let our hair down and have fun!

Damn tired lah, gonna remove my mask and go to bed already.

I'm busy, and I probably wouldn't blog much till after next week. So follow me on Twitter for short updates on what I'm doing now! :) http://twitter.com/littlemissk

I wasn't kidding when I said I'm busy at work.

This week has been quite... exciting in a way. In short I...:
- Had been to a photoshoot for an advertorial
- Did an interview with a leading hair stylist
- Did an interview with a veteran TV producer (who told me that I would look good on-screen and took my namecard)
- Came in runner-up for one of our challenges (but I felt like a winner nonetheless) and did filming for CLEO's Show & Tell as the make-up model (and scored some awesome swag!!)
- Helped out at CLEO's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors' Preview. :)

It's tiring, but in a way fulfilling. In a way it made me realise that being stuck to a deskbound job isn't something I enjoy. Coming week is gonna be exciting and I can't wait, beauty workshops/launches to attend and the most anticipated event on the CLEO calendar - the Bachelors finals! :)

My sister complains that I haven't been updating, but I really can't help it. She even dedicated an entry to me in her blog:

I have a sister .

Her name is kelly .

She is abit lazy and to be truthful, I hate to wait for her to update her blog when her entries are so addictive. The wait is always very long because she is very lazy . shhh . dont tell her I said that.

I have a sister.

Her name is kelly .

She has very nice clothes but what really interests me is her choice of T-shirts that suits her petite frame . Her T-shirts always flatter her figures and hide all the fats she secretly have on her. shhh. dont tell her I said that too.

I have a sister.

Her name is Kelly.

She works in a very cool company called MTV. What I really want to know is, how she managed to con them into giving her the job . But come to think of it , she dont have to con them because the moment she is in the room, the whole room suddenly become brighter. I think that is because she is born a star . shhh . dont tell her I said that or else her ego will suddenly increase . remember not to tell her hor .

I have a sister.

Her name is Kelly .

She likes to go to gym and read magazines. I think that is why she is very thin and knowledgable in many areas when it comes to certain things . I suppose that is because those information can be found in magazines. If you dont know what magazines she read, she read cleo and used to read times. She used to read teenage and seventeen. But she no longer reads them . I think it is because she is no longer young and youthful, so she dont want to read them anymore to remind herself that she is now not a teenager . how sad. now , dont tell her that I said that too. Oh yea. I dont think she read the times either. =X !

I have a sister.

Her name is kelly.

This post is written in her name because Im bored and because she is worth my 5 mins . That shows how special she is to me . Oh yes. I wrote this post too because I want to increase my post count to 2.2k soon.

I have a sister.

Her name is Kelly.

Though I dont always talk to her at home (we talk through MSN at home though), I think she is a star with a natural ability to charm people with her confidence . She likes to tease me over nothing and when she talk to me on MSN in the day , she always call me a cat and expects me to meow back to her . She is a silly sister who is also very gullible but I think thats what make her special and attractive. (she has fat arms JUST KIDDING. )

And, shhh. dont tell her I wrote a post for her. (:

I'm feeling kinda burnt out right now, I must really sleep early tonight.

I'd blog more tomorrow or something. Tomorrow's gonna be one hell of a busy day. Doing an interview at 10am, filming for Cleo Show & Tell from 12pm - 2pm, and then will be working till 6pm on my MacBook since the people will be loaning our laptops out.

Gotta go sleep, need to look fresh and chirpy in the morning.

It feels good to come home early, just chill and get back into the beauty routine that I've neglected for a long while now.

Feeling kinda bummed out because I haven't been able to book a facial appointment for the 4th time now and I don't think I will be able to get one in the next 2 weeks as all the evening slots have been snapped up. =(

It's the 3rd day that I'm suffering from the runs now... My stomach churns and feels slightly queasy, I see no point in eating because whatever I eat seems to come out almost immediately =( If it persists.. maybe I will go see the doctor.

Gonna turn in early tonight and wake up early for a run. Nights world

I like how our conversations never seem to have an end.
I like the way you care for me.
I like how we share the same views on things.
Most of all, I like how you make me feel, like I'm significant in your life. :)

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling...
