First day of work today at Sakae Sushi.
Well, months of job hunting had finally came to an end. And maybe I've been idle at home for way too long, as feel really exhausted and tired today. But the work involved is quite fun. I did try to make as less mistakes as I could today, but still ended up making quite a few. But overall, I think that I did quite okay for my first day.
I always did like Japanese stuff, so remembering the food and menus names isn't that difficult for me, and the customers at Sakae Sushi are quite a fun lot overall, along with the staff. And to think that I was worried for the past two days that I won't be able to cope with the workload. But it's only the first day, so still too soon to say.
But that one customer today...
WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM?!
He got a bone to pick with me or something, is it?
Gah! Thinking about it only makes me mad! So I won't think about it. But still, customer is always right, so even if I don't like it, still have to force myself to smile even if I feel like ripping his guts out.
Might have to squeeze in as many work hours as I could possibly do this month, as will be starting school next month, and the school hours might be a little irregular then.

Yes! I got in! I got in!
I got into Lasalle!
Okay. Okay. I know that it has been quite a while since I've updated, but can you blame me, since I had been busy preparing my portfolio for my Lasalle interview on April 09, 2010, ever since I had failed the first interview?
Hard work really pays off!
I got in!
The interviewers literally gave me a heart attack when they were announcing the results of which among our interview group actually got in. I thought that I've failed again, as I've messed up some parts of my interview.
But the interviewer who also coincidentally happens to be the same person who had interviewed me the first time told me that I did alright, and that the mistakes that I did with this interview isn't too bad.
Phew!
Anyway, I got in! And now, I can stop worrying about whether I can get into Lasalle or not.
August is the start of the school term.
Yay! Lasalle! Here I come!

I've finally finished my 3D model designs for my interview at Lasalle on April 09, 2010 for the foundation course that I wanted to get in! It took me three entire days just to finish making all these!
It is tiring, but rewarding in a way as well, when I see my art piece take form bit by bit. Now I have to worry about my painting and sketches. Let's hope that all these will be enough for me to pass the interview at Lasalle.

I feel like I want to cry.
I failed my interview at Lasalle-SIA yesterday. Perhaps it is partly my own fault for not signing up for the portfolio building workshop, as the artworks that I'd presented yesterday at the interview is a little too simple.
And yesterday definitely seems like a entire day of bad luck for me, one after another.
First, I failed my interview. But I signed up for the portfolio building workshop, so no problem. I'll just have to try again at the next interview on April 09, 2010.
And then, when I reached home, my laptop got contaminated by viruses! And not just any virus, but a TROJAN virus! And said virus actually multiplied like don't know what! First, I got one Trojan, then within seconds, it actually multiplied to about fifty!
I got no choice but to reformat my entire computer, and have to ask Benjamin to help upgrade my laptop system to Windows 7.
Well, at least that is one good thing in itself then, since I had wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 for some time now, only that I can't afford the system. And the system is running faster and much more efficiently than any other time that I've remembered.
Let's hope that my interview on April 09, 2010 goes smoothly, and that I will get in. If not, I might have to try at SAE Institute during the October intake.

Today, or should it be yesterday? - I caught the show Avatar with Keng Yow at Golden Village at Tampines Mall. Well, I admit that it's one of the best shows that I've ever seen, though it lasted a freaking three hours, and my butt is hurting from sitting too long by the time that the show ended.
Following that, I went to the mini concert of sorts that Lestari and Denise invited me to. Turns out that it's a concert-cum-sermon at some church in Somerset, and I didn't even know that Somerset had a church.
Well, it's pretty interesting, all things considered. And at least it didn't manage to almost send me to sleep like the last time when Benjamin invited me to his church's concert of sorts a few months ago.

We went to Malaysia yesterday. And when I say 'we', I meant Keng Yeow, Lijie, Yong Shan and Jetcht along with me, of course. Mostly it is shopping trip, I guess. I mean, what else would we do in Malaysia? And not to forget that we watched a movie in Malaysia's Cathay cinema, 风云 II. It's okay, I guess. Only a little confusing and there are certain parts of the movie where I'd almost fell asleep.
But I've finally found a music CD in Malaysia that I've been searching for some time now! I heard from Lijie that the particular CD is banned in Singapore or something. And not to mention that I've bought several anime DVDs and one PS2 game that is near impossible to find in Singapore.
Looking forward to our next trip to Malaysia on January 31, 2010!

I went to Wild Wild Wet with my mother today. I know what most of you are thinking by this point in time. I'm 21, legally an adult by Singapore law. A little too old to go everywhere with my mother. The thing is, originally, I've invited Yong Shan with me today as I have two complimentary tickets to Wild Wild Wet, but unfortunately, her 'monthly friend' came for a visit, and it is rather unfortunate, but she couldn't make it, and thus, my mother came along instead.
I hadn't gone to Wild Wild Wet ever since it's opening, and I guess that it's pretty fun for a water theme park, but not up to America's standard which I've gone to once a couple of years back or the one that I've gone to in Malaysia many years ago (Sunway Lagoon).
And I have a good mind to sue some girl who literally shrieked her head off when we were riding some ride that have six people to a ride. I think the name of the ride is 'Waterworks' or something. I mean, it isn't even that scary. And she literally shrieked her head off like someone is murdering her. If I have problems with my hearing in the future, I have a good mind to sue her. Oh wait. I don't even know her name. Damn.
Anyway, overall, it's a pretty great day, though I might probably regret it tonight as I'm already feeling quite tired whilst writing this blog entry. And not to mention that my maid is returning today on the 10:00pm flight after her month long holiday. My mother is naturally happy as it meant that she didn't have to juggle between work and housework any longer.
And I think I kind of understand why my aunt was so dead tired just after two hours in Wild Wild Wet with my cousins during my birthday. I'm pretty tired myself too. A sign of old age maybe?
