- Forgot to remove stapler from someone’s application form. Tore front cover page (with all the important shit on it, name, birthdate, identification number). Had to stick it back with clear tape.

- Used completely new pair of flats to work. Cut into ankle. Used up half the plasters in the first-aid box to patch up the sore bits.

- Was assigned to pass something to fairly-important-higher-up person, whose name I know but not face. Walked into the office of person, passing two people talking seriously along the way. Unable to find person. Walked out confused. Nicer gentler of two people talking asked who I was looking for. I told them. It turned out to be the other person she was talking to. Other person looked kind of grumpy. D8

- Jammed the photocopy machine. Made the mistake of yanking on the paper thus tearing it instead of gently easing it out. Had to call for help from the admin side. Embarrassing. Got a good look at the inside of a photocopy machine, though! In the end they called the repairman.

- Jammed the other backup photocopy machine just as repairman left. Fark. Somehow managed to ease stuck paper out after 15 minutes of exploring. Whoo! Would much rather it hadn’t gotten stuck in the first place.

- Went with Joo to help because she didn’t know how to use the microwave in the pantry. Microwave was not even powered on. Turned on power switch on the wall. Nothing. Turned off power switch on the wall. Started trying to pull microwave oven out of shelf to find power. Admin guy comes flailing in, asking what on earth we’re doing. We say we’re trying to get the microwave to work. He gives us an incredulous dot-chibi look and neatly flips on two switches behind/next to the microwave where we can’t see. Joo and I start laughing hysterically. We get stared at by everyone else in the pantry.

So the first two days of temp job have whizzed by. The office people are really nice. 8D I guess you could say I haven’t been in this job long enough to start hating it, but I don’t think I will… it’s a lot of filing and sorting and getting things in their proper place and in order, which I actually enjoy. >.> And like I said, the people are nice.

Not in it for the money (though that will help with the driving lessons), more of a "how to conduct self in office" and "how to talk to people nicely" and "watching people try for jobs" thing (working with human resource people and dealing with their files, which I cannot talk about here). Right now I’m trying to figure how to tell if I’m working too slow and whether "you can dress in jeans and sneakers" means "please dress in jeans and sneakers" or "you can choose to dress in jeans and sneakers if you like". The difference in those two statements is pretty obvious to some and not so much to others.

Jooser? I didn’t mean to abandon you today by just running off after my hours were up. x.x I wasn’t feeling too good (room spinning, bad pain you-know-where… I was walking bent 45 degrees at the waist, mumbly incoherence) and parents had plans. Hope you found your way out easy enough, I’ll join you walking out from Monday onwards. And maybe walking in as well, who knows? ;D

I closed the window, so this conversation is incomplete. First bit that’s been missed is: my back-message said "Best way to shut me up - talk about WoW". Nate signs on and immediately says something along the lines of "So, what do you think of WoW?" and I went "=.=#". I think there’s more but I don’t remember.

 Amatsu says:
you never said it makes you mad xP
Current Mode: Precise says:
i’m insulted that you’d want me to shut up
Amatsu says:
I was kidding xP
Current Mode: Precise says:
-points to back message- i wasn’t.
Amatsu says:
xP
Current Mode: Precise says:
it’s not funny!
Current Mode: Precise says:
fuck!
Current Mode: Precise says:
it’s the same fucking people i thought were friends
Current Mode: Precise says:
they will not. shut up. about wow
Current Mode: Precise says:
i mean ok cool, you’re all wow fans and i’m not
Current Mode: Precise says:
majority beats minority of ONE
Current Mode: Precise says:
but every time i try to talk about something else i’m clear ignored
Current Mode: Precise says:
or i get crickets
Current Mode: Precise says:
and they say they’re busy, i don’t know, fapping
Current Mode: Precise says:
but like i said
Current Mode: Precise says:
you don’t give a shit
Current Mode: Precise says:
is that it?
Current Mode: Precise says:
you quietly agree that you just don’t care anymore?
Amatsu says:
if that’s how you want to take it, sure
Current Mode: Precise says:
no, i don’t get it
Current Mode: Precise says:
six months ago you would have bearhugged me
Current Mode: Precise says:
told me to tell those people to fuck off
Current Mode: Precise says:
something
Current Mode: Precise says:
now it’s just… silence and browsing your threads
Amatsu says:
I just woke up
Amatsu says:
and I get here
Amatsu says:
make a joke
Amatsu says:
and you fly into crazyassbitch mode
Amatsu says:
what do you expect me to do, make you milk and cookies?
Current Mode: Precise says:
nate, i /am/ a crazyassbitch
Current Mode: Precise says:
i expect you to talk back
Current Mode: Precise says:
"i’m too tired to deal with this"
Current Mode: Precise says:
"please not now"
Amatsu says:
not to me, at least you didn’t used to be
Current Mode: Precise says:
always was
Current Mode: Precise says:
you never noticed how i’m always bitching about other people?
Amatsu says:
other people
Amatsu says:
sure
Current Mode: Precise says:
you didn’t even bother asking what the problem was
Amatsu says:
excuse me for being tired when I wake up
Current Mode: Precise says:
then say you’re tired!
Amatsu says:
would you like me to go flaggelate myself?
Current Mode: Precise says:
i don’t understand what that means
Current Mode: Precise says:
is it painful and will it decrease your chances of having kids
Current Mode: Precise says:
if either applies, then no
Amatsu says:
*shrugs*
Current Mode: Precise says:
ah, shit
Current Mode: Precise says:
they fixed the glitch already
Current Mode: Precise says:
so talk to me
Amatsu says:
blah blah blah
Current Mode: Precise says:
:c
Amatsu says:
you said talk, so I talked
Current Mode: Precise says:
not in a way that makes it feel like dropping stones in a pond
Amatsu says:
I’m tired and not in a talking mood
Current Mode: Precise says:
what time of the day are you not tired, then?
Amatsu says:
when I don’t have work
Current Mode: Precise says:
and when are those?
Amatsu says:
rarely
Current Mode: Precise says:
we’re in an online relationship, we can’t do anything but talk
Amatsu says:
yup
Current Mode: Precise says:
do you want us together or not?
Amatsu says:
if you -need- an answer to that, you’re not going to get one
Current Mode: Precise says:
i don’t know what you want anymore
Amatsu says:
*shrugs* something that you’ll have to work out on your own
Current Mode: Precise says:
you don’t even know what you want?
Amatsu says:
not what I said
Current Mode: Precise says:
your dreams, your goals, your wants
Current Mode: Precise says:
you don’t share those anymore
Current Mode: Precise says:
besides vague mentions of real estate
Amatsu says:
*shrugs*
Current Mode: Precise says:
i have to do the laundry
Current Mode: Precise says:
brb
Current Mode: Precise says:
back
Current Mode: Precise says:
and you know, i’ve thought it over with a clear head (i.e. after i stopped crying)
Current Mode: Precise says:
the chances of us being happier without being a couple are pretty damn high
Current Mode: Precise says:
you’ll go to ireland
Current Mode: Precise says:
regain your lost 3 years of bachelorhood and more besides
Current Mode: Precise says:
i’ll concentrate on a career
Current Mode: Precise says:
looks neat
Current Mode: Precise says:
and it’s not as if either of us tries anymore
Current Mode: Precise says:
consider this a breakup
Amatsu says:
heh, over me mentioning WoW
Current Mode: Precise says:
it’s not just that
Current Mode: Precise says:
i’ve realised we’ve stopped trying to glue us together a while ago
Amatsu says:
*shrugs* do what thou wilt
Current Mode: Precise says:
mm
Current Mode: Precise says:
i think you’ll find ireland an easier time without an attachment most people do not believe in
Current Mode: Precise says:
and the same with me in (hopefully) university
Amatsu says:
*shrugs*

And shortly afterward:

Current Mode: Precise says:
i’m sorry
Current Mode: Precise says:
friday the 13th. valentine’s tomorrow.
Amatsu says:
yup
Current Mode: Precise says:
it’s actually a bad day to split

 And you know what’s weird? I feel… free. And light. I hope he’s ok and I feel bad about choosing a day like this to break up, but otherwise pretty good.
I guess I’d better take up that internship offered by my aunt. The less he sees me online, the better. Now I just have to work around the driving lessons that are already in place.

Yesterday, at about this time in the evening. I was heading towards the public carpark with my Mom and two extremely familiar people about my height were strolling towards us. We were somewhere around the cookbook section (yes, also near the toilet but that doesn’t sound as nice) and it was MRS HENG AND ECKY. I was in a hurry because the carpark coupons we put were expiring soon but I screeched to a halt and whirled around and went "Miss Chua!" in this really disgusting guniang tone, and she turned around and she was like "Hey!" and I said "Hi Mrs Heng!" and Mrs Heng went nodnod wave. And ecky went "Nicole…." frown and I went "Yes, one of the Nicoles" and my Mom stuck her head over my shoulder and simpered "the pretty one!" and I was like ewwww. The pretty one. Lolwut. But both ecky and Mrs Heng were nice and kept their poker faces on, and then we said some nonsense about where was I and A level release date rumours and then it was nice to see you again, bye.

They still look just the same, you know. 8D

So, is it just me or are the three of us gradually abandoning our blogs? Or two of us. Time to pick them up again.

I think the latest thing I’ve realised is… I’m really very girly. Feminine. If you want to put it that way. Or at least I act that way in many of the more shallow-ish things. I like long hair. I’ve decided I’m okay with the colour pink. I have trouble choosing between shoes and bags. I like dresses and skirts. I enjoy cooking. I love three-inch heels.

 Despite what I told Tey. I. Love. Lady Gaga.

 When I read, I think in a "female" voice. I identify with novels written by women, for women (even though I don’t always like them). You can tell from my iPod library I’m a girl.

 I’m also really good at bitching at/about things and people. ;D

 Either I’ve changed or I’ve been a hypocrite for a long while and just took a long look in the mirror.
