ann started work at sph mediaworks today. she got this $10 an hour job by a stroke of luck. her dear dad was working at the legal department as a part-time worker when they needed more people to help the accounts department. thus, she was enrolled in to work there. luckily, they were fine with flexibility, enabling ann to persue her other committments with an easy mind. filled with joy, ann anticipated work today with an eager attitude.
on arrival at the office, she was struck by the tight security surrounding the glass building. she was mightily impressed by it and wants to work somewhere like that in future. once the proper introductions were done, she was set to work. her jop scope requires her to check the co-production invoices that the tv channels have been up to during the 4 years. it was a tedious and meticulous morning. she has to search through the thick stacks of files to look for the co-production invoices to tag. suddenly, she was overwhelmed with a rush of horror. is that what an account does? answering missing invoices and finding out where the missing money went? nevertheless, she was unduanted. she believes that an accountant can advise the company on how to spend their profits to a maximum reap. she has an optimistic faith.
soon, it was time for lunch at 1 pm. on the way to the cafeteria, ann saw a familiar figure working towards her. it was her first three month gp teacher at hwa chong. she was stunned. she called out, "ms liaw?" ms liaw replied, "siim ann!?" secretly, siim ann was very pleased with herself. ms liaw remembered her name despite only teaching her for abt 3 months. it meant that ann must have left a deep impression in ms liaw's mind. that is what ann thinks, and she hopes it is what ms liaw thinks too. after lunch with dear dad, they went to the garden and took many photos of flowers with ann's phone. unknown to most, ann is a flower-fanatic. she is trying to hint to future soul-mates. nevertheless, it was a great after-lunch activity.
after that, they went back to continuing the checking of the thick files. ann was real bored. after this job, she was contemplating whether to study accountancy or not. she has decided to stick with it, because she believes she can make a difference. an empty dream? it is not impossible.
haha, tried to write in proper english, it's a bid to try to improve after such disastrous results in gp...

headache
i guess, everyone is busy, trying to decide what course to study... i'm no exception.... have come to a decision le... haha... been thinking abt it for a long time....
3 unis in spore, all with their attributes.... difficult choice to make?? hmm, i have this dream of working in the corporate industry... it's just a matter of how to enter it... intially, i wanted to do law, corporate law to be specific... but, gp... yeah, so, have to cancel it.... then, i thought that political science involves some analyst work.... well, i was wrong... apparently, the best i can hope for is a teaching career or working in the foreign affairs ministry.... in addition, what i can graduate from nus, is a bachelor of arts, which is a general degree... one can argue that interest plays an important aspect.... i agree, political science is what i've always thought of doing, but being practical, i don't see how it's going to bring me into the corporate world, if i can... i don't fancy working in the civil service... therefore, i'm gonna stick to accountancy....
i have chosen SMU.... why?? well, i heard that acc in ntu is boring... in addition, after seeking advice from my uncle, what he says make sense... firstly, they will do up a portfolio for u when u graduate... secondly, i read this article from the newpaper, doing a comparison abt 3 graduates from the different unis.... it's easy to spot an smu graduate, from appearance and the confidence they have... that's what i want to have.... well, that's my main 2 reasons.... there are other factors, like how i don't like ntu and stuff like that.... hopefully, can find ppl to join me there!!!
hiaz, that's like a great big relief!!! anyway, i wanna complain abt some stuff... well, i'm tutoring my cousins in pri 4, 2 of them to be exact... i have this gal cousin who hates homework, doesn't do properly, doesn't hand in on time... my mom says, they are relatives, would not die from helping them more often... the thing is, i've tried all means and methods to help her.... but the thing is, she's not reprociating.... i hate it, when i have put in my own effort, i expect the same in return.... what the heck, if not for my aunty, i will not TEACH HER AT ALL... in addition, i teach her piano too... her exams are next week, but she doesn't want to do work... my fault?? she's a bitch... it's bad to say such stuff, but what the heck? she's a 10 year old.... what does she wanna do?? play?? disgusting... wonder how much more i can undertake... there's a limit to my tolerance.... hiaz....
that's all... my dad sorta found me a job which pays $10 per hr... shall go find out, then ask yoke to join me, that us if she wants!

closer
well, went out for almost the whole day.... 9 plus to 8.... haha, must be distracted mah... sianz...
met yoke in the morning to finalise the stuff we are gonna give the teachers... hiaz... it was fun, hanging out with yoke at orchard library, chatting abt stuff!
then, met hui qi where we went to the career fare at suntec city... hwee min and wei xin were selling the career guide there, so went to support them... it was a nice day... then, hui qi and i went to watch closer... well, it reflected very well abt society, how appearances can be deceptive... in addition, i like the part where the main characters don't even know whether they love one another or not... it's subtle, the directing, getting u to think abt the characters and how the plot goes... hiaz, it was a nice distraction~!!!
good luck to all out there!

about life...
it's been days since i've written a blog entry... well, actually, it's typed... cos, my dear sis is hogging the com day and night doing her sch projects... the lives of the busy... haha... since i'm on the subject of my dear sis, whose sick today, where she took mc.... excuses.... hee~! yeah, she's quite busy... let's be fair.... anyway, as i was saying... yesterday, both of us went to the piano principal's house for a gathering... shall tell more abt it... on the way there, we happened to meet this primary school friend... he saw us but msg my sis only when he saw us getting on a bus... i couldn't recognise him despite maintaing eye contact for quite a while with him when he was walking over... haha, i'm that forgettful... anyway, he said my sis was wearing nice pants while they were msging... isn't that quite weird, when he's attached?? anyway, he liked my sis before in pri sch... it's quite funny how things turn out?? hee~!
anyway, the gathering, was, well, in my opinion... was alright, ok.... did i enjoy myself?? hmm... well, i did not.... i had some biasness against my principal whose my aunt's colleague.... ok, it's kind of getting personal... to cut a long story short, she organised a concert in 2003, where i was doing free labour by helping, arranging chairs and everything... i was reprimanded for something i did... i was alright with helping and everything, but she reprimanded me for not doing something properly, which i know i was... except that's it not in her way... i'm like, what the heck?? u ask me for help, without any pay, and yet... since that incident, with a few along the way, i was very bias against her... anyway, those who know me very well, knows that i don't like alot of people and take no pains in hiding.... yet, i can hide very well too... hypocritical?? haha... it's alright...
during this break, i've met alot of people... colleagues, ya know, just people.... i realise that i singapore, where education is compulsory, educational background plays an important part in relationships, esp. BGR and friendship... in terms of frenship, it matters but frenship can still survive despite the difference in educational level... BUT, for relationship, besides educational level, family background is also another important aspect.... hmm... i find that lack of topics is what tears or prevent a relatioship from forming the basic foundation... it's sad how society has evolved, where human support depends greatly, on education?? hiaz.... i was just talking to peishan on the phone. where we lamented that the guys we meet has been severely narrowed even further.... guys can find vietnamese wives... women?? live in spinsterhood.... it's unfair, actually, all women, i believe, no matter what they say, want to be loved and cared... no matter how hard they portray themselves to be, the fundamental need is to be understood.... sianz....~!
anyway, enough of my uninspiring life... was teaching piano today to this 5-year old kid... i'm bad, but, is she stupid?? i'm at the end of my tether.... she has completed, well, almost, a theory book, yet she doesn't know anything much... aargh~!! i'm relieving for a teacher.... i mean, why teach so fast when she can't absorb?? aargh~!! how??!! hiaz... it's not that i don't want to teach her, i just don't know how, or what to help her... wish me alot of luck~!!
heard that the results are just around the corner... am i scared...? u bet... hiaz... just hope for the best.... anyway, wish u guys out there all the best~!!!
