Hello? Can I book tickets please?

Work has been fun, yet boring. Some people who call really pissed me off, or they can make my day. Customers who make an effort to remember your name and say bye and thank you to you at the end of the conversation are just love.
I totally hate it when I say "Good afternoon, Sistic. This is Michelle speaking. How may I assist you?"
And the person replies, "Is this Sistic?"
-_________-

Okay anyway today was great cuz one woman called and asked for me to order tickets again cuz she liked my service from two days ago where I helped her book tickets. Life is good.

And I was the only idiot (out of my friends) working till 10pm. Five people in the call centre altogether is just sad. Resorted to Paint to relieve my boredom.


3 hours spent on these three awesome illustrations and picking up calls. My sad life. The last time I actually did a proper illustration on Paint was probably in Primary 3. I remember I used to love drawing mountains. Actually I was always good at drawing. No idea what happened to me. Perhaps I should express my thoughts through illustrations more. The only reason why I have Paint in my computer now is that I need somewhere to 'Ctrl+V' after I have screencapped something.

So today, I was asking Nava to draw out the first thing that comes to mind when she thinks of me. And this was what she drew:

Lol typical thought of me I guess. And as promised, I pasted it up onto my wall. I love pasting random things on my wall. Speaking of my wall, I recently added a C.N. Blue poster beside my BLG poster. I can't really believe that I bought the issue of Teenage just for it.

Work today was fine I guess. At least I had Deanna's and Nava's company for the first 4 hours of my shift. My Saturday shift is 2pm to 10pm again. Sigh FML.

Monday was havoc as everyone called to ask about the K-Pop Night tickets, which unfortunately, were sold out in less than an hour! And on Tuesday, as I was randomly surfing through the system, a miracle happened:


OMFG SINGLE SEAT FOR $168 HAHAHA. Of course, this was to last for only a couple of minutes. Wonder who was the persistent person who sat in front of the computer refreshing the page every second. Congrats to him/her, I guess. Lucky person.

I'll just post some pics from the first day of work, too!


Spot the difference:



The standard guitar picks that I bring around with me wherever I go.


My favourite Ibanez pick! Besides Paul's of course.


Rachel's two favourite ones out of the ten.


Over-enthusiastic face I think.


A very attentive and sleepy Shao Liang.


White arms eew.


Unglam :/

Ugh, you know that you have no social life when you dedicate a whole post to your days at work. :(
On a lighter note, there is no work tomorrow! I'll sleep like a pig. Okay I'll probably wake up before 12pm sigh.

Ohyeah, did I mention? I spoke to a Spanish in Spanish on Facebook. :B The person I talked to went by the Facebook name of Sergio Asenjo, who is a Spanish goalkeeper. Not sure if that's his real account but who cares?! I CONVERSED IN SPANISH! with the help of a translator

'Te keiro' is the short form of 'Te quiero' (like our msn short forms) ._. Not much of difference, eh? HAHA the person said that to me. idafsuknlalajilmlfdsm SPANISHHH.

Adios!

Her whisper is the Lucifer

ARGH finally time for a proper post! I never expected the start of holidays to be so hectic already! Had training today and yesterday. And work starts tomorrow. Seriously, they'd better put us in F1 or I'm gonna go on a riot! >:/

Anyway, training wasn't so bad. Our trainer, Rynn, is really nice and she's always trying to make things more interesting for us. Besides that, we found our own entertainment too.

So I entertained myself by illustrating Rachel's infamous epic face on Paint on our training computer.

And she got entertained by plaiting my hair. LOL wtheck. I look like a freak. This is the closest to me being feminine :O

Okay. So from 03/09 to 04/09, I did the most stupid epic thing in my whole freaking life. I went to queue for K-Pop Night tickets (not for myself) and jostled with almost 3000 of the craziest fans in the world. The whole stretch outside of Somerset@313 was totally flooded. And seriously, fanboys are the scariest fans ever. They will stop at NOTHING to get good tickets for SNSD the concert.
ProofLabel, the organiser for the event totally flunked the entire thing, leaving fans distraught and really really angry. The queue for number tags was supposed to start at 9am on Saturday. But by Friday night there was already such a crowd 'queuing' outside that they totally made people start queuing at 12am. It was total bullcrap. The worst thing, we only got our number tags at around 3am. And so here was my reward for a bloody 4 hours of getting squashed and almost suffocating (cuz I was too short and I couldn't get fresh air FML).

Amazing, ain't it? Hey by the way I swear I was gonna faint. Come to think of it, I was light-headed during Boys Like Girls concert, and S.H.E's autograph session, too. But hey this is definitely way worse. I wasn't really angry at this, but when I knew that those like wayyyyyy behind me got a number in the hundreds, I was really pissed because apparently they gave out the really high numbers first. What the heck, right? Uh well, but under some circumstances which I am not gonna elaborate, all my K-Popper friends managed to get seats. (Oh, guess what, I'm going too! AHHH!)

Spent the rest of the night morning at our one and only, Clarke Quay! Went to Liang Court's MacDonalds with Rachel, Jonathan, Jacintha and two others (sorry I don't know their names :/ ) and just plonked our asses there until about 7+am. Seriously, I'd never thought I would see this horrid sight of Singapore, or even just the clubbing area. Caucasians sticking fries onto the window pane (WTF?!), people almost getting into fights, people getting wasted and puking on themselves and laying on the ground.

The most memorable part of the night would be a freaking tranny, who was definitely a middle aged man, with a square face, and also wrinkles all over. A failed tranny, seriously. When I saw her him while walking towards Macs, I was already freaking out. But at around 4.30am, he walked to MacDonalds and started seducing people through the glass panel separating the interior of Macs and the walkway outside. He freaking slammed the glass with his hand and leaned against the panel, while stroking his hair. AND GUESS WHICH LUCKY TABLE WAS JUST BESIDE THE GLASS PANEL. WAH FRONT ROW SEATS MAN. For me, it was worse than watching a horror movie, I mean, it's like something from The Exorcist (or whatever horror movie you can think of). I almost died, I swear. And Jon said I broke into spasms. Okay it wasn't spasms but I was definitely shivering. I mean, I was really traumatised, all right? :( But I felt better after a group of guys ran past and took off his wig HAHAHA. Seriously the whole Macs started laughing. Most epic shit of the day.

So we left Macs after sight-seeing of all the weird things of Clarke Quay and headed to Somerset@313 to meet the rest, including Stefanie and Deanna. We had to split into two days cuz of the vast difference in tag numbers. -.- Yup so Jac's friend helped us queue while the rest of us just studied for BMR sat down. Another life story to tell came when two Korean-American (?) women came and gave us Coffee Bean cakes and muffins. They said that 'Jesus loves us'. Yup okay I'm a freethinker but it feels good to be loved I guess. :)
After that, Stef and Rach got tricked into thinking that they didn't get tickets. LOL. Epic face moments.

And yes, I didn't sleep when I went home cuz one hour later I went out with my parents. I didn't sleep for 37 hours. EPIC WIN. But I was still hyper. I think I am mad.

Anyway, point is, I'm going to K-Pop Night with Rachel and gang and have great fun although the cost is really steep. Currently getting into the mood by listening to more K-Pop songs which is fun :) Deanna says I'm a K-Pop fan already. I am not, okay?
But I do love the 3 Taes - Taemin, Taeyeon and Taeyang. :) Brenda calls me a Tae-dict. LOL WHAT.

Rachel introduced me to desktop buddies. Was playing with them the night before exams. Distracting max. But really cute!

The whole of Big Bang! HAHA. I don't know why I didn't screencap all the SHINee members together.


Taemin really has to stop reproducing so fast. This was in barely five minutes. At the end of my study session I had a total of 12 Taes climbing all over my computer screen. Lol shit.
Studying had never been so fun with Rachel spazzing with me about MY idol. Hahahaha. Finally a conversation not about K-Pop. LOL I LOVE PAUL :D

Oh and now Stef is in Japan and she has left us all lonely souls behind. SIGH I'm starting to miss her already. Six days please pass by quickly!
Let my holidays be enjoyable please. I am NOT gonna spend more than one week in the call centre answering calls and pretending to be cheery when actually I'm about to explode.

Honestly I can't wait for 23rd Oct, too. Someone remind me to bring rope to tie Rachel to her chair. Thank you. :)

I think there is still more to update but I really can't remember now as my bro is massaging my head and it is damn shiok hahahahhaha.

안녕 everyone! 사랑해 :D

Amazing songs.

Nava's 18th!

Awesome day with awesome people! Who needs other people when I've got kickass friends like this?!

So the day went like this: Meet at Macs > Cycle > Watch Nava wakeboard + camwhoring > Cycle back > Walk to Parkway > Pastamania

Hahaha the way I describe it makes it seem so boring LOL but trust me, it was a great day.

This is another time in life where I start to feel thankful for the friends I've made in Poly. I can't say anything else but I FREAKING LOVE YOU GUYS!

'Nuff of being sentimental, now, pictures! :)


Always look forward with going out with the bunch of y'all.

Oh and it is Teachers' Day Celebrations today and I'm stuck at home (trying) to study for BMR. And film. :( FML lol.

Nostalgia

Work at Kallang Tennis Centre and I'm missing it lots. Definitely tiring. I got tanned, and freaked out by weird insects, not to mention only having two meals a day. Going to work at Indoor Stadium tmr. At least now I don't have to worry about the weather and weird bugs.

I will miss everyone I have interacted with, including athletes, volunteers, security guards, team officials and all the rest.

Took pictures with athletes and lots of other stuff. Pictures all on Facebook. Lazy to upload them here.

Yesterday I went out with my TP Horn section plus Hordin for the YOG Celebration thingy at Marina Promenade to watch Alarice perform cuz we had tickets. The crowd was pathetically pathetic. ><

One day, I'm gonna perform on a stage like that.


My fave firework pic :)


Group pic! She's kinda sweet. Haha. :)

Did alot of useless things today. I made a 'The Maine' wallpaper which is currently my desktop wallpaper:
Pretty hor. Teehee.

Recorded Love The Way You Lie in karaoke version and acoustic version. The acoustic is uploaded on my tumblr here: http://deejaymich.tumblr.com/post/997364358/my-acoustic-cover-of-love-the-way-you-lie-by
but I think my karaoke version one is nicer. Lol. However, playing guitar and rapping at the same time is hard shit okay. ._.

Okay I'd better go do some useful stuff like my StopPress article now. I'll just leave you readers with a vid of Alarice playing her original song, Sunday Afternoon.



Te quiero people! Au revoir! :)

The Click Five!

Yup so went to watch the Click Five today! We all had fun. Met Mel, Jon and Rach at SCAPE and went into the event where Jean joined us for a while. They played acoustic songs and seriously, they are damn awesome live. Pre-ordered their new album! I managed to shake Kyle's hand during the autograph session. HE WAS SO NICE. And I totally almost got a hug from Ethan. I asked for one and he said 'okay' but the darn security pulled me away. Damn it! And I totally regretted not asking for a guitar pick. At least I got to see them up close and got autographs!


The (fan)girls!


Kyle approves :)

Haha so today my fangirl mode was totally switched on. Sorry to Rach for bursting her eardrums. Hehe. Gonna see them tmr. Please let me and Jon handle everything successfully. :)

To end off the post:

Haha oops I realised I cut off the 'T'. Uh well. AUTOGRAPHED POSTER!

All in all, today was really fun.

Starting work tmr! Let's go!!

Happy Friendship Day!

Just a short one before I go to bed and conquer my last week of the semester!

Yup Happy Friendship Day to all! I can't express how much I appreciate my friends who have been around me whenever I need them. You guys really keep my world spinning.

My secondary school friends - even though we hardly talk anymore but it is always damn awesome when we get together and talk about random stuff teehee.

My poly friends are probably the most important group of people to me now. 2 days without seeing y'all makes me depressed. HAHA. But seriously, you guys rock! \m/

Special thanks to people who really have been by my side whenever I want to 'emo', rant or just need someone there, namely Stef, Rach, Wenhui, Vanessa. I love you guys with every inch of my heart. THANK YOU. <333333333

Alright. Last 3 assignments to go, working for YOG, exams. Next step, world domination! :)

Peace out, people!
