I've got a job!! but...

went for my 2nd interview earlier in the day and i got the job. gona start work on wed. it was my first time seeing the place and its really nice. the deco was real cool, ancient chinese kinda concept, with terracota soldiers "guarding" the entrance. i went in the day so probably dint see the full beauty of it. shall find out on wed. seeing is believing.

good points:

i've finally got a job! gona be able to start spending like back in my army days pretty soon. gota watch my expenditure recently due to shrinking wallet but this will change soon.

like i've said, its a really nice place. think gona enjoy working there. i love the nite. i love pubs. so in a way its my kinda job. the building really stands out from the rest of the pubs/cafes/restaurants over there. shall not elaborate more.

the working hours are shorter than i first thought. for now, its only from 5 to 1+. the manager said things may change so we shall see.

i can park at liang court, which is practically beside the place. the parking after 5 is 3 bucks per entry, which is reasonable.

but then again, dun think i will be driving to work. kinda defeats the purpose. want to get use to taking public transport again. have been too spoilt, too pampered, too dependant on the car in recent years. i'll prob drive only on certain "lazy" days.
anyway, the place is very near clarke quay mrt, juz have to cross a small bridge and viola!

its away from town area so theres prob not many "kids" around, if any at all. dun think i will have to serve those irritating and annoying sec sch kids. basically pple from that age group. no offence, im juz stereotyping.

think its a place that my buds wun mind chilling out at. can go out for supper after the place closes and my work is done. they can send me back home as well....hee.

its along the singapore river. the view at nite should be quite fantastic. its both indoors and outdoors so i will get the chance to move around.
like how someone described it, "the scenary was realli good even though its spore where i've live all my life.......the atmoshpere was good".


which brings us to the BAD POINTS:

its along the singapore river!!!! thats where they went on the date. on the boat ride. walked past the stalls offering the rides and saw some of the boats. cant help but think of her.....felt a tiny tinge of sadness....
this would also mean that i would prob be thinking about her a lot in the future. actually thought getting a job might distract my mind.....and isn't it ironic.....

the pay isn't something to scream about. its only 6.50 per hour. and i cant claim cab fare coz they have a contract with some bus company to send us back home. damn. but its juz a small thing. no complains.
at least theres transport.

we gota be in all black. black shirt, no prob. black pants, can use my bro's. black shoes, hmm...think i've got no choice but to wear my army shoes for now. damn. thought i've seen the last of those. realised that i dun have much formal wear in my wardrobe. have to do something about that.

heard from the manager that we've got to go all the way to club street to collect our uniforms. and we've gota pay a deposit of 20 bucks. wth.

im very happy with the job actually. juz whining coz i've gota get off my lazy ass to work again. cant i juz slack and rot and waste my life away.....damn those rich kids.....

my bud was telling me that he went to the motorshow with his frens and one of the fren's uncle was there. the uncle bought 2 cars at the show. the best part is....guess wat....one was a FERRARI. that guy traded in his current FERRARI for a new one. my bud dint know wat the other car was but its prob a LAMBOGINI, coz the uncle was holding the brochure in his hand.....WTF! WTF!! WTF!!! i juz cant help it.....WTF!!!!

========================================

went to watch taxi before the interview. gisele......(drools)........bmw 760.........(drools)........gisele body searching the lady lieutenant.......(drools drools)........haha.......guys will be guys. it was an alrite show. the NGs were pretty funny.
she and i sorta intended to catch the show together when we saw the trailer previously. juz read her blog and she watched taxi today as well....hmm......wat a coincidence.........so.........yep.

she mentioned in her blog that shes feeling cranky today, and seems like its quite jialat coz usually she would be better after having chocs but it dint work this time. hmm....

she posted this at 1.50am:
"cant believe i was hme at 11.40......1st time so 'late' hahaa.......was pretty restless after i got hme.....but darn no one to go out with at tis weee hrs".

my first thought was "huh?". guess i was kinda shouting inside "hey! theres always me!!". i mean we used to go for supper at times much much later than that. she knows im a nite person and i wun mind. but then again, we used to, last time. its different now, although i really wont mind starting everything all over again. really.
i was at our usual supper place with my bud juz now, at 12+. it was like juz a short 5 mins drive away from her place.....so near yet so far.....i still miss her.

oh yah, saw erica lee at the supper place. think she looks much better in person. quite cute. dint know she is so slim (read skinny). she was wearing this tight yellow t-shirt and super tiny denim shorts. dint realised that her figure (read nice/big boobs) was that good as well. but a little too good. lets not go into details. btw, in my defence, its not bcoz im perverted or anything (though i admit im a little....or is it a lot?), practically all the guys were staring...waiters included. some gers as well.

my bud was commenting that having a gf like that may not really be a blessing. well most, if not all, guys wun mind but ultimately, to put it in a crude way, you may not know if you're with her bcoz you like/love her or if its juz the body that you cant keep your hands off. of course having a gf with a slim body and big boobs is a huge (ahem) bonus but it may be hard to differentiate which part of her you like better, her body or her mind.
it got me thinking and i think its pretty true, makes sense to me.

played pool at monster cue before supper. have been going there for years now. think its a cj thing. basically all the cj pple, from my batch at least, plays pool there, and still frequents that place. anyway, spent some time chatting with the uncle. he usually talks to me about life, what the future holds, what he had been through, and some of his views.
he always makes sense. hes a very practical person, been there done that, and hes got everything all planned out, for his kids and all. hes funny as well. he may be 50+ already but he can read the mind of us "kids". i always enjoy talking to him. i duno wat his family is like but i think his kids are really lucky to have a dad like him. wat a guy.

========================================

recap of the weekend.....

dint do much. basically juz sat on my butt or lie on my bed all day, staring at the screen or reading papers. otherwise, im chauffeur for my mum again, as usual.
wanted to wash the car but could only do it on sunday coz of the rain.

realised that the last time i washed the car was the day she met him. at zouk. 5 nov. that was the last day of our exams and they were out having fun. they asked me to go along but apparently, i felt that washing the car and going for a jog at nite was more important. wanted to give the car some tlc coz havent washed it for a couple of weeks due to the exams. wanted to go for a jog coz was feeling really unhealthy, feeling all "clogged up inside". juz wanted to work my lungs and my heart a little.
guess that was a really bad decision, really bad choice i made. juz gota live with it.

and the thing is, sunday was also the day that hes back from overseas. its been a week. haha. im thinking too much. im fine. haha................

anyway, the birds decided to be funny and left their mark on my door. arrghh. damn those irritating birds!! i juz washed the car yest!

heard this really nice song on radio on my way home.


Miss You Like Crazy – Natalie Cole

Even though it's been so long
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that
we used to do

A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you

CHORUS:
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away
Every hour of every day

I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you

I can see the love shining in your eyes
And there comes a such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now

CHORUS

I miss you like crazy
I miss you baby
Love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again

Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we gonna make it through
It seems believing is worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now

CHORUS


And I miss you, I missed you
All the tender love you gave me
A feeling gets this strong
You know the real thing's come along
And I miss you

I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can save me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do

damn all these sentimental love songs....
