I feel.... lousy.
I came to school today just to check into my residence and collect my room key, get my ISM registration form signed and submitted, to work, and pick up a book that I have on hold in the library.
And that's about it, since I have no classes on Mondays this semester.
Did I also mention that this sem, I have a one-and-a-half day school week? *evil grin*
So, work. I have a 2-4 pm slot for webcast, and my 5-9 pm slot for computer lab duty. Yay, I've just made... $40 today.
But I have to go back later and clean my room... sob. At least it's not as dirty as it was when I checked in last sem. No lizard shit all over the place and everything. Everything's just mostly very dusty, and dust is easily dealt with.
I was still packing my stuff this morning and neither of my parents could send me to school in the morning so my stuff's all still at home. My dad's offered to help me get my stuff over tonight though, so I guess I'll be making a trip home after work.
This is turning out to be one of those terribly random posts.
I made a cheesecake yesterday, and by this morning it was all gone. I brought some of it over to Joseph's house for him, and he said it was nice. His mum said it was nice too; even asked for the recipe, which made me feel a little... I don't know, silly? Coz the recipe's really simple and it really doesn't take long to make, and asking me for the recipe makes it sound like I spent so much time on it, but I didn't, and I just feel like a horrible cheat or something somehow.
Or maybe I'm just being weird.
Shall go do the reading for Pereira's class now. I'm determined not to slack off on readings this sem, and it may be my last ever semester, so I'm determined to make good on it...!

Today was a day of... mixed blessings. But maybe more up than down.
Didn't start off right; I woke up late for work, at 8 am. Normally I wake up at 7 am and leave the house by 8 am to catch the 8.15 am bus to get to Tanjong Pagar by 9 am.
So I had to take a cab down instead; bloody expensive since it's peak hour and there's ERP as well.
But during lunchtime, when I went to submit my December timesheet, the lady asked me what I was doing in Uni. So I told her Soci, and then she asked, "How do you feel about media?" (The company I'm working in is an advertising agency.)
I was kinda stunned, but I told her I'd never had any experience with it and went on to ask her some other stuff about what it would involve. In the end, she took down my number.
Then, after lunch, someone gave me tickets to a movie premiere; it was a Chinese movie, "Linger", and I didn't even know anything about anyone in it, lol. My sis told me the lead actor was formerly from F4, and later on while we were in the cinema, Joseph told me that the lead actress is very famous in China too. *shrugs*
Was kinda weird though, coz the premiere was really a gala premiere, so the lead actor was there. Maybe just for the fanservice. When I got to Cine tonight at about 8.50 pm, the outside was packed with people and there were black Merces and Beemers driving off and a few security guards, the kind dressed in black suits and wearing earpieces. I think 80% of the population in Cine tonight was female and under the age of 20.
Joseph and me actually contemplated selling the two tickets that we had to see if we could get maybe 50 to 100 bucks for each of them. :D But we ended up going into the theatre and despite the fact that it was supposed to start at 9 pm, the lead actor probably didn't even step *into* Cine till maybe 9.15; continuing to excite all the fangirls outside with his mere um.. presence.
And we were sitting in the theatre for another 15 minutes, I think, and wondering what was taking so long, before the lead actor came in and gave some little speech before the movie started. And Joseph got a little fangirly. Lol. He got really excited and he started taking pictures of the guy with his phone. And then he moved to seats further up front to take more pictures. Maybe he'll post those pictures on his blog. :)
Anyway, back to the office; just before I got off from work, the two ladies I sit next to asked me if I could continue come in once a week to carry on the work I was doing for them. Apparently, they churn out the data that I'm putting together once a month, but this year they've requested the reports for one whole year at one go instead.
So I've been offered a part-time job and I think, along with some interest in taking me on for a permanent job.
And to top it all off, when I got home, my mummy got me the two Cirque du Soleil DVDs that I wanted!! :D
