Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year !

Everything has been going smoothly and sweet for me (Except for something which got me awfully sick ) . As usual , i went to Grandmother's house to celebrate Chinese New Year . Well it's not much about the festive and mood itself , but the affirmation i got when i got to see everyone again , and everyone is safe and sound . I know the previous statement sounds a little awkward and that's because i have just finished watching an awesome movie [The Impossible] . It reminded me to cherish and love my loved ones , and seeing how the actors fought hard and brave with courage just to reconcile with their loved ones touched a place deep in my heart . This movie is inspired by a True Story and i would recommend it to anyone because it is a nice movie . Please prepare some tissue with you if you fully intend to watch it . :)

Is it just me .... or did anyone realise and notice that the Chinese New Year is getting more boring ? Be it the mood , the atmosphere , culture , traditional practices , i feel that everything is gradually fading . People dress up in modern and stylish clothes instead of traditional clothes . It is hard to see any females wearing Cheongsam (did i even spell it correctly ) and guys wearing the traditional costumes . We still have steamboat and reunion dinner ... But the mood is less infectious . Or perhaps it is because this year is the year of snake ? Snakes are perceived as evil and sly creatures so that's why people do not hang those decorative snakes poster up ? Anyways , I stayed at home this whole new year and ... bonded with cousins . We played the usual card games , gambled and i learnt Mahjong ! I finally realised how hard it is not to get addicted after you have learnt how to play it . 

I returned to singapore on 12 Feb and that day was hell to me . I snacked on prawn rolls , egg rolls , pineapple tarts , Kueh Lapis , Chocolates , candies , cookies and sweet drinks before i had my late afternoon nap . I was then awakened by a stinging pain in my stomach and since then ........ i had countless runs in the washrooms and i vomited thrice . Thanks to all those junk and my inability to restrain from unhealthy food . I swear that was the worst and longest stomachache i had . So please .. Take care of yourself and remember to eat carefully ! (This was the thing which got me awfully sick..) 

Still have a month plus before school reopens and i am deeply encouraged to continue shopping for clothes for poly ! Ok i shall end abruptly here because its really late now ... Yawns ..

So ..... ?

A month has passed and here i am , finely (?) settled in a routine that is most likely going to see me through for another 2 months . If someone were to ask me to describe my life now , i am sure i could finish in 10 seconds . Yeah sure my life does sound as boring as i described (did i even...) but there are still some nitty gritty stuffs that i could probably think to force it to be as interesting .

Okay forget about that paragraph i am just writing about my life at this very bored moment . Life has been roughly the same for me . I have been working almost every day since i am back from my holiday . Working life is .... i wouldn't say it is dull because of interesting encounters during work (eccentric customers with peculiar eating ways , demanding customers , really gracious and lovable customers who don't leave behind an earthquake aftermath for us to clear ..  )

Well yes customers might be going like '  Hey you are paid so please shut up with the complaining and do your freaking job . ' Okay to a certain extent , i do agree with this . We expect credible , reliable and excellent service everywhere in Singapore . We aim to be a global medical hub with wide range of healthcare services , we want to be known of an education hub that nurtures generations of young minds into capable and successful leaders . We are improving to be the best we can be in the tourism industry . We have local brands , small and medium enterprises striving to go beyond our boundaries and mark their feet at the outside world . Arguably , it's hard not to expect for the best anywhere in Singapore . It is even harder not to imagine the consequences of not meeting the expectations of consumers . A famous saying emphasizes that customers are always right . Again , is it regardless of any circumstances ?

Currently , i am working in the food and beverage industry (the only one i have worked in) and i am really propelled to get a fair share of experience in other industry . Perhaps , a retail assistant in some apparel shops ? It's not that i do not like my job ( albeit currently i am feeling a bit nonchalant about it oooops ) . Honestly and staying as professional as i could be , i would still be rather piqued at some unreasonable customers . (you don't say ..) . Argh anyways the above are just some of my thoughts in view of my past week . Not interesting but not boring , not daunting but not encouraging .

Another possible update .. I am posted to my desired course (Business Studies) in Ngee Ann Polytehnic . Hope i'd make a prudent decision to go to Polytehnic ( Hell nooo why am i thinking of this now) . Okay i should really be grateful for everything and look forward to it with anticipation . :)
