Exerpts of email exchanges between Wendy and I during work over the past few days.. Prepared to be lamed out haha reading this will be a waste of time. It's just for me to document for future amusement : D --- Subject: Financial Problems Hi my friend I am facing financial problems now. COULD YOU HELP MEEEE D: (ok im being lame lala) --- Re: Financial Problems Dear Miss Wong, I have read your email regarding Financial Problems and have some suggestions which you can take up to improve your financial crisis. 1. Buy less shoes. As a friend of yours, I have noticed that you have a weak spot for shoes and have about 29485 pairs in your shoes cupboard. I suggest that you donate half of them to me. 2. Buy less clothes. I have also noticed that everytime I see you, you will be wearing new clothes. You will also be decked out necklaces and earrings. Perhaps you can donate some of them to me too. I understand the predicament which you are facing as I have also faced the same problemes personally a couple of weeks ago. Hence, I wish you all the best in your tough battle ahead. Meanwhile, please take my suggestions into careful consideration. I look forward to your reply. Warmest Regards, Crystal Chng President of Financial Problems Institutions (FPI) PS One of my colleagues used to work in Body Shop so if we buy things from her, we can get 50 percent off. Interested in getting anything? : D --- Dear Miss Chng, I'm afraid some of your suggestions are not feasible. Especially for a SHOPAHOLIC lke me. Have you read SHOPAHOLIC the book series? Yeah man that's the kind of person I am. Or alternatively, you could watch the movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic". You can always borrow it from me. You know I have a large pool of dvds at home *wink* ;) Say, let's have a movie marathon sometime. Instead of shopping to kill time, we can wach movies :D WHEE. So fun! OKAY THIS IS GETTING EXTREMELY LAME CRYSSIE! hahaha. I am terribly bored now. But I'll have a busy day later. And you're not online yet. So I guess I can't meet my financial consultant online today. Sadness. Okay Miss Chng reply me soon! I know you'll be bored. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Miss Wendy Wendelia VVV Wong President of the Shopaholic Association P.S. Cool I wanna go Bodyshop too! When when! --- Dear Miss Wong, I am dismayed that you have thrown out of well thought out suggestions without careful consideration. It greatly upsets me. However, as you have so generously offered your extensive DVD collection, I will be more than happy to take up your offer. Perhaps you may have My Sister's Keeper, Time Traveller's Wife and New Moon dvd? : DDD I could very well watch it during work : D or you may want to invite me over to your house and we could have a movie marathon on the couch with dvds that work (unlike your Gossip Girl dvd sadly) Please reply me asap to save me from bordem and together, we can work hand in hand to ensure that you walk out of ur financial crisis safely. Regards, Crystal President of the I Am Bored to Death Club and President of FPI PS nooo the colleague TAKES orders beforehand. We won't get 50 percent off if we go shopping at Body Shop together!!! --- Dear Wendelia VVV Wong, My job sucks. SOS. PS omg u hv time travellors wife and sister's keeper?! you hurry go watch or invite me over. haha it's not fair you're always hogging the good stuff to yourself! ): PPS i ponned work ytd thus was not able to be your aunt agony. much apologies. Rgds, Crystal SSS Chng --- Dear Ms Crystal SSS Chng, Am I efficient or am i efficient? Why does your job suck now? What are you supposed to do? Giving financial advice to people sounds quite fun. You can exploit them in the process. Like how you did with me - Asking to donate my clothes/dvds to you. I have a rather slack timetable today! Yay. But I have to stay back in school to take care of the Math Remedial people. Sobs. Haha. I hope they wont be too naughty. Bleh. Okay. Signing off. Reply ASAP! Sincerely, Ms Wendelia VVV Wong Teacher at the zoo --- Dear Ms VVV, I have another suggestion. Why don't you ask your students to call you Ms VVV? Then those who can guess what VVV stands for will get a sweet. Isn't this a good suggestion? It adheres to MOE's guidlines of spontaneous learning (something like that). You may even be promoted to HOD! Anyway Ms VVV, perhaps you may want to recommend some clients to me. You are my one and only client in my financial company. I think i will have to close down soon. ): Rgds, Crystal Jasmine has a very interesting job. I found out that she is making a Singlish booklet for non Singaporean graduates who are going to work retail in Singapore over msn during work. three cups of tea says: damn it seems as if he wants me to work the whole of this week I say: HAHA I say: awww three cups of tea says: anw advanced singlish I say: i will be here dont worry three cups of tea says: Not say I say you, but hor, you very like dat one leh! I say: WTH I say: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I say: U HV THE FUNNIEST JOB EVER three cups of tea says: and i translated to... three cups of tea says: I’m not criticising you but don’t be so hard to deal with! three cups of tea says: it's not funny. QUICK three cups of tea says: help me comeup with more what a cool job HAHA Omg i am so embarrassed. Of all the stupid things that ever happened to me, this one has to be the topper (of 2010 so far at least. Last year would definitely have to be being trapped in the rj lift with the whole entrapment being caught on camera wth.)
monday blues ): i am so totally going to bring my driving book to read during work tmr -.- unless i suddenly have an avalanche of work to do erps haha i kind of enjoy sitting there and collecting money(: groundbreaking news! As of 19 january 2010, I have stopped contributing to Singapore's unemployment rate! Even though the pay sucks and i'm probably going to get loads of OT. Basically the job scope requires me to be good with numbers. Agent: Are you good with numbers? Me: hmm yeah! after a few phone calls to confirm the pay scheme and stuff... Me: But you see, from 9 to 5 if i work 5 days, it'll be a total of 40 hours.. Agent: uhm. It's 45 hours. Glad to say I instill so much confidence in everyone even before i actually start the job. i decided it's time i step out of the safety zone and do something crazy. at least something crazy enough for me hahha i went to... highlight my hair red! according to the hairdresser, it's "chilli red" so u can imagine how red it is. but it's supposed to wash out after 1 month and fade to brown, so at least i won't look like ronald macdonald's cousin when i got for uni interviews haha sudden onslaught of blogposts! i think the blogging bug is back HAHA. just that now, i really think its true this time, noone reads anymore. LOL. Unemployed spent the whole day cleaning her room. Cleared her desk, cleared all the bits and junk and vacuumed. ALL MY MYSELF (: ( i think i can set up a cleaning company next time. it shall be named "Crystal Clear Cleaning Pte Ltd") If i add the total number of hours up (plus filing and stowing away all my JC work), total hours amount to 14. Now i can actually walk in my room without tripping and there is actually space to put my keyboard. Before school period, either my keyboard or my work will hv to be thrown uncermoniously on my bed. and then when i go to bed, i will kick all my things off in bed. i know, horrible right haha. my mum always says "i dont know how ur husband is going to stand u next time" haha shrugs. too bad for him. best solution will be to ask my employees from Crystal Clear Cleaning Pte Ltd to clean my house for me (: I miss being at home. sigh unemployed has a job interview tmr. erps. if all goes well, maybe i'll be employed by next week sigh. and For some reason unbeknownst, i miss food from long house. HAHA. my mum always dabao dinner from there after picking me up from school. i miss the chicken rice, prawn noodles and yusheng (sudden craving for aforementioned may be due to the fact that i'm suffering from hunger pangs after cleaning the whole day) who wants to eat with meeeee ): they have good homemade ice lemon tea! and then it's just now that i realised i shut myself off from everything. and i do it too damn well. instead of dealing with it, i shut myself out away from all the crap and pretend that they don't exist. which probably isn't the best way. because ultimately one day you'll wake up and find yourself buried up to ur neck in crap ): THE UNEMPLOYED NEEDS TO STOP BEING SO PICKY WITH THE SELECTION OF HER JOBS. She needs to remember that she is not some bigshot with a doctorade. ZZZ. PS even though i am still unemployed, my aunt decided to sponsor my shopping spree HAHA since my birthday is coming and all (: but the denim overalls were sold out )))))))): the feeling of paying with a card is shiok ttm. i ttl need to earn big bucks next time -.- CRYSTAL CHNG SHALL STOP CONTRIBUTING TO SINGAPORE'S FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND GET A JOB. LIKE SOON. !@#$%^&*( i am seriously broke for the first time in my life and it ain't a good feeling. Yes, yuxuan, suddenly all the money which my aunt and grandma supplies me with to support my lavish lifestyle has disappeared. like poof! ): i feel very ashamed of myself. i think need to start doing budgets and whatever shit. to think i always prided myself to be thrifty ( hoho there is some truth in that ok. wendy and jiahui can attest -.-) the only thing i spend on is food!! Suddenly there is only 2 digit amount of money left in my atm account. and my secret stash of money is depleting and about to go extinct. guess that is what 1 month of hardcore going out does to you. but not like i actually shop. whines. i only found out about my current monetary issues when i wanted to buy denim dress, shoes, tshirt and a bag. (sudden shopping spree haha not like i actually hv a lot of them in the first place) but i left without buying any of the above because of said financial crisis. ok enough of my sad sad bank account. need to stop spending when i get a job. like, for real. AND QY JUST HAD TO ENCOURAGE ME TO SPEND )): before everyone gets bored reading about my being in the red, let's talk about something interesting. Toffee (QY's shetland sheepdog) humped me 3 times today. Seriously, go find your dog a mate! haha otherwise he'll continue being promiscuous and keep humping everybody. tskk. But Toffee kinda grows on me. HAHA. And then I went to register for my Basic Theory Test in the morning. Truth be told, i think i'm going to be a road hazard to everyone. but it's ok, i can chauffeur u all around if u have faith in me (: Can't wait for my next guitar hero date!!! i wanna try the singing one HAHA. (Yes it's my first time and i think im good at it (: ) |
