i have been thinking really hard... should i leave this job and look for greener pastures elsewhere or just stay put here in UOB. its a really ough decision to make cause firstly, the pay here is really good and secondly the work hours are really flexible and the can compromise on alotta things.
on the bad side, its really mundane and dry as we are only allowed to sell just ONE product. its easy to focus and all but after a while it gets really dry and tough. its like eating beef. at first its all moist and oh so yummy and stuff. but by the ninth serving, you'd dream of swimming in a pool of cabbages and corn.
i went for my first interview like a few days back and the interviewer actually exclaimed that my current salary is really, really high for a person working in a call centre. as i know, the second most highest paying bank is Citi and they pay their telephone officers like S$2,000.00 a month. But the work condition at Citi is really bad. as you know, Citi Never Sleeps. So each officer is expected to do the duties of TWO employees.. its really stressful and quite hard on the bankers. i have friends who were in Citi for like a few months only and then they could no longer take it anymore so they leave for greener pastures.
speaking about greener pastures, IS THERE SUCH A THING AS GREENER PASTURES? i mean, its really tough and all now for me in my current job and i will think,"Oh! shift work! i can sleep in late and wake up late when i work in the afternoon shift and i can sleep all day if i work the night shift!" but when i get myself into it i will definitely thing a 9 to 6 job is far more superior..
sigh. me and my fickle mind.
i think i should just hang in here for a while. i could restart studying and maybe complete it even! and also the management's attitudes are kinda improving too.. maybe i'll just give them another chance..

Club Sandwich from Han's Cafe. Cheap and filling!
A Chicken and Lime Quiche with a Mango Lassi. i love quiches. they're so yummy. they're prolly the best thing man has ever invented. And youghurt..
Fillet Mignon! this is to DIE FOR!!!
Pork Chop! not a fan, this belongs to a friend of mine..
Pumpkin Soup for the 'I-Feel-Fat Days'.
a Belgian Waffle topped up with Mango and Pineapple jam from St Dalfour's all served on a pretty Noritake plate! the plate's limited edition, mind you!
Apple Crumble!! i love crumble but this was too sweet for me! ><
Spinach tortelinni! not my fave too..
Strawberry Flan and a Choco Tart from Hanis cafe! both of them are really good! the chocolate has the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness!!
Scone time! That's my wallet peeking at the right..
Salad and another Mango Lassi!
a Banana cake! i love banana cakes. they're so nostalgic of my childhood..
a ribeye done Medium rare! this was freaking awesome!!
A Ceasar Salad, Vitamin water and a Citrus Cheesecake youghurt for lunch! the youghurt was fucking awesome! it tasted exactly like cheesecake! -_-
Marmalade Pantry's Club Sandwich.. to die for..
Home Made Brunch Plate for me and hubby! it consists of toast, masala eggs done MY way, chicken cutlets and an entire can of baked beans sploshed with a generous amount of ketchup. i wanted to serve it with a side of baby spinach greens, but the maid forgot to go get some the day before. oh well, hubby said it was really good too anyway! Hooray for me!! ^^
Chicken Cutlet set from a restaurant.. this was really bang for your buck because for like S$15 you get a soup, a main, a dessert and coffee.

Ham and Cheese Salad from the National Library. Okay this is really funny. i actually wanted a Ham and Cheese Sandwich.. here's the exchange between me an the wait staff.
Me : Hi, I'll have the Ham and Cheese Sandwich please, with some Earl Greay Tea, cold.
Waitress : Okay.
Me : Is the sandwich and open top one?
Waitress : Yes. Do you want the bread toasted?
Me : Yes please. And the menu said it comes with a salad?
Waitress : Yes.
Me : Thank you!
And off the waitress goes. So when the meal arrived i was shock. i thought, okay this is the side salad? its HUMONGOUS! then the bread and butter came. and my friend was like,"AH! i geddit now! you have to assemble the sandwich yourself!" and i was like say what? -_-" hahahaha but the salad was really good and really value for money. the cafe was really quiet too, which i so love!

Next Station, Novena
ARE YOU EXCITED!?!?! this will be my very first time posting pictures!!!!
omg! i know! its about time right! well, blogger is not really photo uploading friendly and to edit the posts one by one is such a pain in the ass! i've uploaded tonnes of pictures onto Facebook and Instagram but not here.. maybe i'll try to post more pictures kay!
As you know i live in Singapore. its a tiny City/State island with a land area of less that 600 km square. this frigging island has a population of 6.5 million (last counted July 2010) to boot! so you can imagine the land scarcity! that's why almost everyone here lives in apartments! only the rich can afford to buy a home with their own pool and backyard.
This is the view from my apartment in Ang Mo Kio (its a mid class estate). Okay the apartment is actually rather puny. it comes with two bedrooms, a small storage room, a kitchen, a living area and two bathrooms. And a unit like mine will stecha back a good S$400,000.00. That's equavalent to US$330,000.00 or GBP$203,080.00!! and its heavily subsidised government housing too you know!
So imagine, a home with a decent yard and pool, in an upper class estate can actually score a grand S$20,000,000.00. which works out to like US$16,549,400!
You may think, woah! that's a load of cash, but i'm sure Singaporeans earn quite a fair bit then.. well WE DO NOT!
a banker can bring home as low as S$3,000.00 in salary monthly. a lawyer makes around S$8,000.00 monthly. a commercial pilot can sweep S$20,000.00 monthly. an administrator can take back as low as S$ 1,300.00 monthly. its not all rosy!
okay sorry... guess i digressed quite a bit, anyway here's another shot from my kitchen window! you can see the play are below!
The shot below is taken from my office unit in Novena (an upper class estate). the are here is really posh and expensive. quite a share of condominiums here. The buildings you see below are all of private nature. That means they are not public housing.
And this below is a shot of some government housing in an upper middle class estate named Bishan! i like this shot! looks really nice and calm. but i tell you on the day i took the shot it was a hot as hell day!
i like the shot of the park in the foreground. i think it'll be a nice place to live in. its near everything! 10 minutes to town by train, 15 minutes to city by train and schools and amneties nearby everywhere. i really love this area..
well i guess that's it for the basic crash course on the vicinity i hang!

Your love is Pitiful, How long can you tolerate?
You really don't know my heart. You really don't know anything about love.
Love is always painful
Your love is pitiful.
So how longer can you tolerate?
Just forget about your love
You said you can't live if you didn't see me for a day,
yet you are further away from me than a stranger.
You said you'd run if I was ever sick but why did you become like this.
Did you leave me because of this. Did you throw me away for your benefit.
Say something because I can't understand this in my head.
That thing called love constantly chased after me night and day.
In cornering me as a sinner with longing that I can't wash away,
I was able to know that at the end of the sweetness, love is more pitiful than my tears.
You really don't know my heart. You really don't know anything about love.
Say 'I love you' and I'll melt as if it's raining on me but because of you,
my tears won't go away and I can't wake up from this nightmare.
A congested heart, I can't breathe and I'm sure that tomorrow my heart
will hurt more and I'll miss you again.
Instead of longing for the spot you left behind, love is pitiful.
I just pretended that I forgot about our break up. Hidden behind the tears, you know best.
I can't live without you and I'm smiling on the outside daily but I'm insecure as if I'm being chased.
It's driving me crazy and love is pitiful.
Love is always painful
Your love is pitiful.
So how longer can you tolerate?
Just forget about your love, just forget about your love
Love is always painful
Your love is pitiful.
So how longer can you tolerate?
