minirant;
a rather sad thing happened recently. my beloved htc one got sent for repair and i'm stuck with a phone that has a 600MHz single-core snapdragon s1 processor. MY LIFE SUCKS SO BADLY I WANNA CRY. this phone apparently has no internal camera, no flash, and NO AUTOFOCUS. and i can't help but emphasize the processor. IT'S A FREAKING 600MHZ SINGLE-CORE SNAPDRAGON S1. THE FIRST VERSION OF SNAPDRAGON. AND IT'S SINGLE-CORE. AND IT'S LESS THAN 1GHZ. SERIOUSLY??????? this is akin to killing me. even my previous htc phone (which is too spoilt to be used now) that was released a year before than this phone i'm using has a 1GHz single-core snapdragon s2 processor. BUT MAIN THING IS MY HTC ONE HAS A 1.7GHZ QUAD-CORE SNAPDRAGON 600 PROCESSOR AND I CAN NEVER SURVIVE WITH <1GHZ SINGLE-CORE PROCESSOR ANYMORE. i lead a very sad life. it's another 4 days with this phone before my beloved baby comes back to me. i wonder if i can survive till wednesday though..
okay first real event, went uss with mx!!!
and of course photos!! didn't take any photos with them when i first went uss 2 years ago, no idea why but yeah. photo spam coming up
then after these main 2 attractions we took all the thrilling rides then slowly took every ride till it was lunch. then we went out for lunch cuz uss food too expensive. HAHAHA. then after lunch continued taking and retaking the rides and somehow mx was super scared of canopy flyer even tho it's quite boring HAHAAHAH. towards the end of the day we wanted to marathon transformers ride but there was literally NO ONE there and it's boring without other strangers' screaming so we stopped.
(omg why do i have twist signs in every photo)
oh and my leg decided to be weird that day and out of the blue there was a sharp pain. and it'd stop temporarily and then came back. i have weird feet.
but overall it's a super fun day!! ate my childhood favourite ice cream for a whopping price of $5. totally not worth it but oh well, it's super rare and you don't get to go uss to buy this often so.. yeah.
oh and o's & posting results are out!!!
so apparently it's a known fact that i wanted to get into accountancy so badly and i studied so hard for humans for the sake of being able to get into accountancy, since it's based on ELR2B2-B score and humans is a relevant subject. but when i went sp open house, i talked to some guy from FI and guess what. my dream course changed. i don't even know why. was in a dilemma whether to choose accountancy or fi. on results day, i received results that were eligible for accountancy and FI and i decided to go for fi. i kind of had some regrets after that cuz FI doesn't require humans, and i could've studied harder for maths & sci and not focus that much on humans. but thinking back, i failed my accountancy dpa interview. probably it's God's way of telling me i shouldn't go accountancy. so i stuck to fi and hopefully it turns out well. i shall trust God's plan for my life. yup so anyway i got into fi, and i'm looking forward to school cuz i can finally learn what i'm interested in instead of stupid subjects like maths and science and gp and what not. (heh too cool for jc)
OH OH OH and the biggest thing that affected me so much was my 2nd job.
at crocs. yes you can start laughing at me cuz i worked at crocs. but anyway, it's really stupid. during the briefing that took 1 hr cuz need explain all the govt laws and how they settle things, they didn't tell me my exact job scope and that the uniforms were payable. and me and mx even requested for a second piece of uniform cuz 1 piece isn't enough if we work consecutive days. the hr manager didn't even bothered to tell us it's payable and just gave us the uniform. AND he even gave us a jacket.
so anyway on my first day of work, i realised the uniforms were $20/ea and the jacket costed $40. which totals to $80. if i quit before 3 months i'd have to pay for these uniforms. and when the shop supervisor was briefing me, i realised i was a salesperson. which is stupid because i didn't apply for a salesperson position, and that stupid hr manager didn't inform me that i actually have a sales target and i need to hit that target. BUT MAIN POINT IS, I HATE SALESPEOPLE SINCE YOUNG. and i got cheated, in a way, into becoming one.
job became something dreadful, even worse than noel, and i started to slack and not sell the shoes. because i didn't want to sell in the first place. i got nagged, but whatever. i took lots of long breaks and tried to delay my lunch break by a few minutes and went toilet for a very long time. all because i didn't want to sell. and one day i finally submitted my resignation. i had to pay for my shoes that were compulsory to wear, but the hr manager did state that so i'm okay with it. as for the uniforms, i'm gonna fight my way cuz hr manager didn't properly inform us, so it's super unreasonable for them to force me to pay.
not to mention, i bet the management thinks they hired robots. cuz they want their staff to work like 10-12hrs/day, and, AND unless you work full shift (which is 13hrs, 9:30am-10:30pm), you only get 1 break. so assuming you work from 9:30am - 9pm, you get only one break. which is really unreasonable. lunch and dinner times are around 12-1pm and 6-7pm respectively, but we are only allowed ONE break? are we robots? i'm glad i quit early because i'm quite sure if i continued this eating habit of eating only breakfast and one meal that is neither lunch nor dinner, i'd have some weird eating disorder or whatever soon. seriously though. even in noel, as long as you work past lunch & dinner time, you get lunch and dinner breaks. even if you work 11am-8pm, you get 2 breaks. how does crocs handle their staff, i wonder. i bet their office staffs have proper mealtimes and we mere retail crews are apparently too low-class to eat meals at proper times.
overall, a super bad experience. not only do their shoes suck, their management suck too. yes i'm openly writing this on my blog. even noel, where i had some really tough times there, was much, much more pleasant compared to this job. i'm so glad i quit.
lastly, CNY!! :)
so it's that time of the year where you look good and collect angbaos HAHAHA. okay not much to be elaborated here cuz nothing really interesting actually, so i'm just gonna put my ootds for day 1 and day 3 here. mehhh
oh and on cny eve i decided to cut my fringe into bangs and i didn't really think properly cuz it was cny the next day, it's either i start cny with my old hairstyle or a new one so i went for the latter. it was really weird but i soon got used to it soooo.. yeah. (i need to find another way to end my sentences lol)
lol please do not judge me for taking ootds this way cuz my external camera is spoilt (which is exactly why i sent it for repair)
--------------------
and this marks my life so far.
anyway, just realised my whole life revolves around actresses and idols and actresses and idols and i have zero social life. this is bad.
