Life update + Jocelyn's acronym

Hi what's up.

Time flies, next week will already be my 7th week in Ntu :0 Been so busy but I can't keep track of what I'm busy with. Lol. It's like I'm rushing through my work in half-dead mode to meet the deadlines so I can't seem to retain much info. How howz. Thankfully marketing presentation and econs test is over already. Stats proposal and Korean test next week!

Korean class is awesome. An effective way to get better at it is to watch more Korean varieties and dramas! I love!

But, I really need to maximize my time. I think I said this before but I really procrastinate too much. I can spend time staring at my com, staring out of the window, playing candy crush (which I come to hate), walking around the house, while the tutorials pile up... Rawr I have to get over this!!!

And Jocelyn, here is the cheesy name acronym you wanted: ;)

Jocelyn,
Often you have many rumors
Countless,
Endless,
Love is in the air, but sorry to them
You only like me.
Not sure if this is the cheesy acronym you asked for.......

Hahahaha quite fun trolling. #selfentertainment

Long time no blog

One of my biggest fans Zixin complained that day that I'm neglecting my blog. (Kidding la, she said she visits when she's super bored lol)

Unfortunately, I have nothing much to post hahah. 

Ok i decided to make an acronym thingy with her Korean name

Jaheun is very

Amazing and I 

Hope that she will

Understand her school work (lol) and

Excel in biz school.

N I will always be your friend. :)

Cheesiness level: 1000

this update is so random...

Uni: week 1

The first week of uni lectures has ended and I have to say school has been pretty overwhelming so far. Lecturers teach at lightning speed (one of them has an incomprehensible accent) and the topics are so foreign! Stats! Marketing! Organizational behavior! :00 

At least I have background knowledge in econs, which makes following lectures alot easier. But still, in the first lecture we studied from PPC curve all the way to elasticity!! That took a few months to cover in JC. 

Gone are the days where lecturers go at snail speed to accommodate students :( never appreciated by JC tutors more. I guess I need to learn how to be more independent in my studies. Haha but how do I stop procrastinating? I keep getting distracted. I even procrastinated to read the anti-procrastination article that my dad told me to read... The irony XD

Also NTU is so huge! I don't like to meet people on the way because I'm panting and sweating from climbing stairs and walking location to location lol. Wish we had genting weather here in sunny sg. 

Hopefully I'm not alone in feeling stressed and lost. I want to adapt to school soon! That day Peter was telling me that his first impression of me was that I'm zen, and for Jingqi it was that she thinks too much :00 complete opposite! I get stressed easily and Jingqi is super chill. I recounted to him a story: in J1 project work, my Preliminary Ideas (PI) got rejected by my tutor 5 days before the deadline and I was so stressed that I cried and prayed haha. Surely enough, i met 2 people who helped me finish my PI on time! Thank God! And for jingqi, I think she got rejected even later than me but she had no reaction?! Like I was beside her when the tutor told her the news and I felt my heart drop for her lols. And of course Peter bingo-ed Jocelyn's first impression--- blur and confused. Hahaha!!

Resolution of the year: Trust in God and be zen~~

Living on the wild side of life~~

On Monday me and Jocelyn wanted to attend the nbs orientation talks like good students would. Not surprisingly, with our terrible sense of direction, we couldn't even locate nanyang auditorium. (._.) We got lost for 45 mins (the whole duration of the talk) and when we arrived, the students were already streaming out. One of the female ushers said- because we missed the whole talk, we weren't entitled to a goodie bag. OTL ttm. Jocelyn attempted to join the queue of people streaming out but easily got recognized by the female usher LOLOL. At that moment we saw a male usher (who looked pretty friendly) pushing a trolley of extra goodie bags and Jocelyn and me stared at each other... And rushed towards him in big, aunty strides... 

In Jocelyn's pov of the story, I activated my "sad-teary-puppy-eyes" (??) while explaining to the usher that we didn't mean to miss the talk but we got really lost. The male usher was in a super 为难 position. So at last... (I'm not supposed to tell anyone about the outcome but... It was pretty positive ;) ) kekekekekeke

After the whole orientation program jingqi suddenly invited me and Jocelyn to crash at her hall for the night! I was quite hesitant because I was thinking "what about my toothbrush! What about my retainers! What about my dental floss! (lol)" The teeth cleanliness freak in me came out. XP I also worried about where i'll find an orange because i like to eat oranges everyday *awkward silence* (._.) But because Jocelyn and Jingqi were so keen, I went along with them! In the end, I didn't floss or use retainers for the night :0 and didn't have an orange :0 we played saboteur for a night time activity while waiting for our hair to dry then proceeded to sleep. 

The next day we went to play pool! Jocelyn and me teamed up and got owned by jingqi for 7 rounds and we finally won the 8th round keke. Jingqi is great at pool so for every ball that goes in, a "jingqi" happens. When Jocelyn gets a ball in she would also hit the white ball in so that phenomenon is called a "Jocelyn". Whereas for myself, whenever I hit a very fail-proof ball, it would rebound from side to side of the hole and thereafter, FAIL, so that is called an "Angela". {(-_-)} le sigh.

After that it was time for Jingqi's orientation program so she went off to school and Jocelyn and me went to Haji lane to shop, because we watched Qiuqiu's budget Barbie show and there is apparently super nice and cheap clothing there. In the end we only found clothes with average price- $80... Super unfruitful shopping trip TT 

We were so shagged at that time but the adventure wasn't over just yet!! Jingqi, Jocelyn and me went to playnation to play the dance game. Halfway through our session Jocelyn's lover(?) came to join us hahahaha. I shan't give details and risk being murdered by her lol. And so... we danced with all our might and became really sticky and went home. And we missed the last train and cabbed home. 

-end of the wild 2 days- XD

End of working stint at de Pacific :(

Today was the third last day at work at de Pacific. It's really such a sad feeling to be leaving people that I've come to be so comfortable with, can't stop tears from welling up each time I think of how they have been so kind to me for the past 5 months. My boss treated us to Pizza Hut on Monday because it was my last week at work!  

I will always remember how I panic when the dentist asked for instruments with chim names, and would run to ask my colleagues while the dentist and patient waited XD I will remember how the dental clinic would transform into a gauze production factory (while watching korean dramas) when the patients were late for appointments. I will remember how I got corrupted because my colleagues were always sharing sick jokes. I will remember how i threw away a patient's x-ray because i thought it was trash. And the time where the patient gave $1000 dollar bill for $500 treatment and was like "wah, dont even have change ah?" and Maria said " we cut the note into half and return u one part?" LOL. I will remember how me and my colleagues had to dig through trash because a scaler tip was thrown away accidentally. The list goes on and on...

Here is what I wrote for them:

Dear colleagues at de Pacific,

It has truly been such an honor and privilege to have worked here for the past 5 months. Even when I first came with no experience as a dental nurse, I was able to catch on because I had such great teachers. I really enjoyed myself in the de Pacific family and always looked forward to work each day. Thanks for making me feel warm and welcomed in my workplace. I don't express myself well, but I'm always filled with gratitude towards all of you. 

As I go on to pursue my studies, my thoughts are with you. I hope that everyone at de Pacific finds success and fulfillment in all that you do! 

Yours sincerely,

Angela 

Wisdom tooth surgery!!

 

I had surgery to remove my lower right wisdom tooth today! For those who don't know, I'm working at a dental clinic as a dental assistant so I watch surgeries all the time @.@ I remember when I watched a wisdom tooth surgery for the first time, I almost fainted!! @.@ But now I got used to it already! Very interesting to watch actually! *evil laugh* 

And if you always thought that nurses uniform were supposed to be sexy, wait till u see what I look like at work.













Wait for it























HAHA! How is it?!

 
-pic made small because I look super ugly haha-

-ok dont stare hor-


So anyways I decided to remove my right wisdom tooth because the dentist said it is likely to trap food and give me problems like infection and decay in the future. The procedure was totally painless because of the local anaesthetic jab. While my reliable dentist sliced at my gums, used the “shovel” to elevate the tooth and used the “drill” to divide my tooth into half, I didn’t feel anything. Thank God for science and technology. If not really can’t imagine how much pain I must go through TT

Here is my wisdom tooth!

Dentist asked me to put this under my pillow for the tooth fairy ._. lol

 This is the gauze that I bit on for 1 hour. Showed it to family at dinner and they shouted at me"Go away!" ._. I remember the last time I extrated both my upper premolars I also bit on to 2 pieces of guaze. When I was trying to pull out the guaze they wouldn't come out. So I thought the blood must have hardened and the guaze became attached to my mouth =.= when i finally went to the mirror to pull it out I realized I was pulling at my lips!! Super numb so I couldnt feel them =.=



And I have another thing to share! Today I realised that my arm muscle became huge after dance camp. 
Not huge like a weight lifter but significantly bigger than before!

But all I did was fling my arms around in an attempt to dance leh. Last time in NCC do push up until so hiong but didnt get muscles. Sian now I must maintain my arms if not the muscle will nua TT

End of soul funky camp!!

Day 3

We learnt whacking and house dance today! Super cool, the whacking instructor Andy was such a diva ;) Whacking is so tiring for the arms. I stood right in front so I had to give it my all and now my arms feel like they are about to drop off TT and after that we went for the food trail 接龙 game! We had to start the food chain with the sound "soul" and end with "ki" (because camp name is soul funky). So our group split up to look for soda- da ji pai (chicken cutlet)- pai gu mian (rib noodles) - mian xian (vermicelli) - xian cao (grass jelly) - cao fan (fried rice) - fan with taoki (rice with some gross plastic-ky thing *i dunno what is taoki*). Hahaha the last one we anyhow one, as the management was chasing us away already lol. 

Later at night it was time for the SPs to meet face to face for the first time. The girls just had to sit in the living room while the SPs entered 2 by 2 for their talent showcase, after which they can ask 3 qns to figure out who is their SP. 

I was super nervous when I was told my SP was coming in next lol. The first thing I thought when he came in was "ahh... he's cute" haha. (The other girls thought so too lol) My SP had it easy because he sang xiao jiu wo and had a good voice (even after drinking chili/wasabi solution!!!) so he passed quite easily. The other guys had to do crazy stuff like acting like Pokemon characters, do dance battles and even worm crawl in a sleeping bag. @.@ also they had to eat alot of gross stuff. at that time I was really thankful to be a girl hah.  After that the guy had to do a cheesy pickup line. My SP asked me to touch him and he asked "do u know what this is?" Me: "what?" Him "boyfriend material". ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ haha quite funny right. Then after that he asked "Are u 174?", which was quite apparent la (I think I'm one head taller than all the girls in my group lol) so he could identify me with one qn, much to the seniors' disappointment cause they were having so much fun tekan-ing the guys.

Day 4

Beach games day! Very fun but the seawater kept stinging my eyes. TT after the beach games we showered and went for the SP date. I ended up going with Jingqi and Jocelyn's pair and some other people cause us 3 very awkward turtle one. Lol. My SP brought us to Clarke quay for jap food, which was very yummy! Long words short say (长话短说） it was alot less awkward than I thought and quite fun too.

Day 5

OG dance and couple dance battle day! My group did 2 songs mixed together (Fine China and Fantastic Baby). Very awesome choreo done by Vincent but I screwed up twice zzz, but it was a whole lot of fun! and the dance battle was so good! All freshmen all danced superbly. And Vincent from my OG won!!! So happy for him. Oh oh oh! There was a camp vid that was shown and jingqi, jocelyn and me all got the spotlight LOL. I was doing kiyomi with my team mates for a dare to earn points, jingqi was demostrating popping moves and Jocelyn was playing seven wonders with a guy!!!! Everyone was like "woooooooo!" HAH eventful right.

Finally I'm at home now and everything feels like a good dream. Muscles are aching badly and my head is spinning. (Even though my GL said this camp is relatively very slack compared to other camps already!!) Really glad for the experience and exposure to popping and locking. I think this camp will be on my mind for the next few weeks.

Wah yuan lai camp zhe me kong bu

I signed up for soul funky dance camp with Jocelyn and Jingqi! Made a wrong choice to bring a luggage which I had to lug up 3 flights of stairs. 

Day 1:

So the highlight of today was at night where we got to hang out with the special partner (SP) and... it was totally a weird experience. My SP is 1.75m and I am 1.74m so I called him 175 and he called me 174 lol. I actually, for the first time, while blindfolded, held hands with a stranger guy and chatted for 10 mins. And the guy was attached...(._.) lols rather than love, it was awkwardness in the air~~

And in the day we learned the basics of popping and locking which was really fun too.

Day 2:

Amazing race day!

To everyone's horror, one of the stations required us to stand in a circle and to come out one at a time to do a solo dance. So it became the day where Angela showcased her mediocre shuffling steps as her group compassionately helped to cheer. X.X And the whole process was filmed as each of us embarrassed ourselves. I hope i dont ever see that vid on fb X.X But there was a pro guy Vincent who can do b-boying! So impressive! So far camp has been pretty enjoyable :)

The day I became a fool. X.X

So today I was happy fun at kbox with my 3 colleagues, singing at the top of our lungs and jumping around.

I felt my phone vibrate, so I went out to answer it.

-hello is this Angela?

-yes

-ok so our company is doing a lucky draw for a collaboration between running in the sun and nbs and you're one of our 4 winners! You ever went to a concert RITs organized right?

-ermm yes? (I was thinking, ohmygosh, after so many years of not winning lucky draws, it's finally my time to shine!! *gleeful*) (and I went for shinee's concert btw)

-so we are accepting you for an internship but u need to come for an interview next tues!

(Me: make plans in head abt how to take leave from work =.=)

-if u accept this internship you will need to travel very often, mostly to Korea, can u commit to that?

-me: I guess so? (.... I'm so noob ahh)

-ok, now you just need to sing a part of your favorite kpop song to win!

-(me: what kind of weird thing is this?? Am I on something like a sheng shiong show where I need to react fast??)

-me: sings a part of shinee's lucifer (I was kboxing so was in the mood for singing.... !!!!!!!!! I'm cringing at the embarrassment of this!!!)

-guy: hahahaha! Actually that was a lie la! I'm a GL from nbs and are you free for the camp from 15-19 July.

-me: what????? What is going on??

Ok the rest is the serious part where we discussed the camp fee/ pre camp etc. 

Sigh!!! I can't believe I fell prey to the prank! When I watch those people on tv who believes when the scammers say their kids got kidnapped I'll always be like, "ahh so cheesy! Why they always so noob!" And today is the day I got scammed. Wah meng ti, wah meng ti~~~~~ actually I found the whole convo very queer and incoherent la, but I just played along to everything!! Argh

Note to self: when its too good to be true, it's too good to be true.

On the train

Bored on the journey towards bbdc for driving lesson~~~ I'm typing this on the train!

Recently I have been addicted to watching tv, especially 偶像剧 (idol dramas)!

I realize I like the kind of shows where the male lead and female lead try to hide their feelings for each other and act so macho about it when they are actually in love. Like when the female lead gets injured the guy will lose his macho-ness and 英雄救美 immediately. Kyaaa isn't that so cute?? Lol. *deranged smile*

But then it seems like this sort of thing doesn't actually happen in real life leh. I have weird expectations of dating after being brainwashed by tv lol.

Ok I've reached bukit gombak for my driving lesson. Byebye.

Haha I just realized I wasted your time reading nonsense. XD
