First Time Working

So after the hectic two years just to prepare for writing correctly on mentally challenging sets of papers, came the long waited holidays.
It was nice to literally have nothing to do, having enough leisure time to even just lie on my bed or spend a few minutes looking at the clouds which I haven't in a rather long while.
Awesome, but yeah naturally it gets a bit boring after a while (too short a while for me maybe) and I always wanted to try working since my parents never gave green light last time.
So one day, Tania asked for her cousin if anyone wanted to do part time for Christmas and Japanese New Year event at Liang Court, Clarke Quay, I decided to give it a try (:

Xin Hao the crazy monkey also signed up for it. It was hell lot of fun working with him haha!
Since he started earlier than me, he already knew a few people.
There was one day where he spammed text me to complain about a certain someone because the quality and QUANTITY of work done by that person is...negative. She might have been better not around.

The higher ups there are really decent people.
Tania's cousin, Kase, Vicky, Yi Ling, Lyn, were all crazy people who's fun to be with.
I think I've got pretty good luck to have met them as my first few bosses since they are the type who can even treat you as friends and joke together with.
Anyway here are some funnier stories that I can remember very clearly...

Things we did with the company trolley...
So many of the times we had to use the company trolley kept at the customer service to transport things in the mall for example, redemption gifts...Christmas trees (nude and decorared ones).
After a while..(like half a month) Xin Hao and I often get bored AND crazy for nonsense so..there was once we took turn to sit on the trolley while the other push.
Then we would push damn fast for the wind or make sudden turn in attempt to TRY and throw the person out of the trolley (no one fell of course).
Of course, we did it even in front of shoppers -.- I guess this is what YOLO means haha sorry for the bad image.

Another one was our little drama acting. During the days of moving HUGE ASS GIFT BOXES from the office storeroom on the the...hmm. M5 (just take it as fifth floor) to the storeroom on the second floor, there is a long stretch of corridor that we must pass before reaching the M5 storeroom.
So there was once I was walking quite a bit in front of Xin Hao, and he was pushing the trolley.
I heard him pushing damn fast and I turned to confirm it. Somehow, some part of me was instinctively telling me to act this way hahaha it's insane.
I ran like he is trying to knock me down with it (he probably did want to act like he is going to knock me down)
So I ran..until the end of the straight stretch where it branches into left and right I would literally JUMP TO ONE SIDE AND ROLL. Just the way you see it in movies when someone is like dodging a car. Jump and roll yo.
Then we would laugh like nobody's business.
What's worse is that we did it more than once.
What's WORST is that we did still, after knowing that there's a surveillance camera shooting right at the corner where I jump and roll and Xin Hao will run to. HAHA. What's wrong with us? That's the way we had fun man..yeah fun. Okay, fun.

Random Stuff we savaged 
Goes back to the period of clearing storeroom...there were a lot of old props that weren't needed.
We were tasked to clear them out and dispose it, and in the process we found some interesting things and XIN HAO, OF COURSE, started playing with them...

Xin Hao is in it. He said he must try it before throwing it away so er..yup. You can see it's rather dirty (:

Parts of a faulty christmas tree..he was supposed to be posing as some maple character? Haha!

Now this is the hit. He was actually carrying this while I was carrying other stuff behind him.

I notice how he's skinny and was quite aligned with it while walking so I started to laugh and told him.

He and his playfulness, as expected, got him to purposely align it and take a photo.

I must say, it's perfect HAHAHA!

Just a pic of my messed up hair after half a day of travelling up and down to throw stuff.

Another weird toy we found...for lucky draw or something?

Our Gay New Year

So it's a new year. First January of 2014. Xin Hao and I worked the same shift and he asked me to drink with him after work.
I haven't drank with him before that because he did not join the post-prom party where everyone drank quite a bit.
Well if I had, I wouldn't have accepted it on this day ALONE..
Work ended and we went to 7-11 to get some drinks.
Well it's Clarke Quay and countdown to new year, so it was damn crowded there on the bridge and along the river. Xin Hao got himself a cup of maggee mee as well.
When we were walking on the bridge this really hyper angmoh came to Xin Hao and started saying something.
I can't remember what but Xin Hao was freaking out hahaha.
His wallet was on top of the cup noodles and he told me,
'that guy was like drunk eh! I was damn afraid that he will take my wallet and run!'
HAHA wild imaginations, but it's realistic enough that I can imagine after hearing him too.
Found a corner along the river that was still empty and we sat there drinking, chatting, while he eat his cup noodle.

Night view!

Xin Hao and his cup noodle. Flash blinded him haha!

He actually can't drink a lot.

That little bottle he's holding there?

It was nothing strong but he got like drunk and went crazy after that.

I was worrying about whether he can even get home by himself haha.

Well that sums up quite a bit. There are a few more interesting stories but hmm no pictures haha.

Remembrance

I guess I do have quite a bit of free time in Hong Kong. Too much maybe.
One shitty thing being here is I never had a friend in Hong Kong, so I pretty much have no social interactions.
It's not like I will die, but it sure makes life quite boring when you run out of entertainment to turn to,
such as movies, games, television programmes, etc.
As usual, I looked through photos of times in Singapore, and I also read cards given to me.
I can't really remember which card Tania wrote in, or she simply shouted it in my face (?!)
She told me to update my blog so she can read lol.
I can understand what she mean now since I myself look forward to a new post from here because it means
more stories to read.
So..although it's been a really long time since that happening night..

Prom Night 2013
After a really draggy cycle of mugging, sleeping, wake up and mug again, A's ended and prom night approaches. I still remember how I didn't really want to go because there wasn't a good response from the class initially. Furthermore, Jo Ann (even after much convincing) didn't want to go x.x EVEN AFTER SPONSORSHIP MAN haha. Anyway, decided to go after some convincing from Tania and seeing that a bigger portion of the class is going. Managed to convince Jo Ann to come for the post-prom party we have on our own as a class.

In the day, I went to dye my hair. Jo Ann, even though she's not going, kept saying, 'YOLO' and tell me how it'll be fun bla bla bla. Well I did want to see how I look like in brown hair long ago but...I wouldn't have dared to if not for her constant 'encouragement'. Well my parents knew nothing until they saw my prom photos. Oh well too late..! Haha. Not like they objected though (not after I already did it) but I subtly talk about dying it again and my mum said, 'Don't la you know it harms your hair..!!!' True, but I know you simply don't want me to dye because you don't like. Of course, I myself wasn't intended to dye some very bright color like gold or what not. I actually chose a brown that wasn't too light in colour. Those type that can see a bit in the dark and more obvious in the sunlight.

Here's a photo of my virgin black hair being dyed brown.

There was something I forgot. When you first dye your hair, the color will be quite a bit brighter than what you wanted. After you washed your hair for some time..it'll fade to your desired hair color. So..what happened is...

A very extreme orange brown? It's more orange than this photo!

Really damn shocked at the salon after the person washed off the dye. It wasn't the color that I wanted at all!

It's not like I can't do with it but..yeah. Just shocked.

Went to JoAnn's place to slack with her for the noon before meeting up with Tania because I was supposed

I was gonna cab from Tampines, and she needed a ride. Jo Ann started playing with the foundations she had apply it on my face, complaining about how my skin is bad, this and that. Oh well. She had a share of fun.

Looking at this picture I thought I really should have adjusted my tie before taking the photo. Credit to Melissa (:

We reached the place after a bit of chatting and went up to the room Cindy's mum kindly booked for our post-prom party. The rest of the girls were inside dolling up haha. The more 'memorable ones' are Cindy being a noob and requested help from Mel who er...I guess we don't trust with detailed work because she's usually so blur :P Tania went to help out a bit in a while before Mel ruins Cindy's face :]

Don't ask me, I don't know why the picture is blurred as well. Nicolas and Ziyi here got the kiddy pose haha

So we have our dinner. Sat with Tania, Hannah, Cindy, Melissa, and a mix of another class including GJ, while the rest of the class sat at one table. It was quite cold there, and noisy of course. The food was quite nice. 

Mel and Emily got the lucky letter to go up on the stage but turns out they're not the lucky ones out of all the er..lucky ones. Okay.

After the whole dinner..everyone was partying. They played music in front and everyone went in to like dance. We also did mass dance one last time haha. Jo Ann came in around this time and mix in into the crowd haha. Well prom technically is over already anyway (:

More photos with le pretty and handsome ones.

So after prom..is post prom! Party doesn't end here! 

All of us went back into the room and we started our party with..helium gas.

Aqilah and Hui Ting brought up balloons, and Si Yuan actually went to suck up the helium gas to try out the change in voice. That was damn funny haha! 

After that started the most crazy part..we bought alcohols, so we started mixing for cocktails and started playing games where losers have to drink.

I've always thought there's a flaw to this game. For people who wants to drink, winning is losing, losing is winning, because losers 'get to drink'. Lol Cindy I'm talking about you, don't be shy. Haha.

Cindy practically went insane after a few cups..and started using the Carl's Jr ginormous cup to drink. 

She smashed into beds and chairs...and started feeling unwell in the toilet afterwards. 

Then came puking haha. What a reckless drinker. 

In contrast Melissa who actually drank quite a bit while no one was really looking (lol) isn't the least bit drunk because she drank slowly and kept drinking water in between (noticed by Jo Ann) SKILLS.

Hmm. Kudos to Cindy for the entertainment though haha although she told me in the face before we started, 'I WON'T GET DRUNK NOOB JUSTIN'

Says who. Haha!

Slept really late..and woke up damn early. Sort of like had an hour's sleep only. Insanity.

Went out for breakfast at Mac's..I didn't know Tania was supposed to join us so..the group just left her to sleep with Cindy (She got a bit drunk afterwards too but don't worry, they did nothing :P )

That marks the end of the fun and wild night..! Thanks for all the memories (:
