Snippets of life: 24-29/11

Monday 24/11:
Received a text from Boots pharmacy. Was called for an interview on Wednesday. Need to visit a local Boots store to check out the efficiency of promotional strategies. Hmm, sounds pretty fun at least Im back to my favourite business stuff. But not particularly ecstatic about it. Mainly because the chances of getting the job are probably thinner than my dandruff flakes.
Tuesday 25/11:
A busy day indeed. Waking up at 8 from last night's bad sleep makes it difficult for me to stay fresh, sharp and alert. Argh but life still has to go on no matter what shit I've encountered! Headed for Boots and its competitor - Superdrugs in Kensington high street around 9.30am. Did some analysis. Boots really sucks at its promotion. No new excitements, old lame buy 1 get 1 free and 3 for 2 mix& match. Got so deviated from its core business as a pharmacy. Bombarded with vanity boxes and leeching money mainly from blonde with big boobies + small brain.
Wednesday 26/11:
Went to NHS 1 hour before my phone interview. Feeling very unwell and overworried about the pain. Stupid NHS was running late and had to leave before my turn for that bloody phone interview. 4.45pm. Phone call came in. 'Have you worked with Boots before?' 'No'. 'Good. Do you have a work permit beyond 2012?' 'Sorry, no. Im holding a student visa and wiill apply a work permit after that.' 'Sorry, I couldn't proceed to the interview because we will only consider candidates already with work permit. Bye.' WTH =.=''
Thursday 27/11:
Stupid Stella couldn't do simple dilution factors. Depressed. Depressed. So f***ing depressed.
ICBS showed a video on Ajahn Brahms' talk. Take-home-message:
- Do not be judgemental nor a control freak. Upon excessive control, he or she will only end up to be more skillful on how not to get caught by you. Yep, stupid Stella should stop being judgemental. Loving kindness and compassion are urgently in need.
- Be rebellious in a different way! Do not let others' perceptions to put a control over your life. Be yourself, get your own happiness! Live your life for yourself. So yea, Stella shouldn't give a damn for not being a smart ass in Biochemistry. Eventhough she sucks at it to the max!
- Extra bit: Annoy me as much as you like! Im just gonna curse you for FLEAS OF A THOUSAND CAMELS TO INFEST YOUR ARMPITS!
Friday 28/11:
Work! Work! Work! More calculations on dilutions. More burgers frying in the catering. More lecture notes to go through. More annoyances and irritations to get.
Saturday 29/11:
Finally some fun stuff! Took a student guide role and gave a tour to prospective Life Sciences students in the afternoon. Felt so great talking to people. My english is not that bad after all, heeeee!! O ya, happy to see angelic Miss Ade again. Ade is such a wonderful girl and to me, she is just perfect in everything - be it academic/social/personality. And she is sooooo cute too! Ah, lucky Mr Chong-U!
Some people were just born to be an angel to people around them. They stir no negative feelings but sprinkle joy all over. So glad I've met some of them. Ade and Miss yih lin Goh are definitely 2 of them. Feel so blessed to have angels around especially in this final-year hell.

End of the week denotes the start of another brand-new week. Hope everything goes better, smoother and may I be less stupider, if not, smarter. Bless me. Please.

笑一个嘛,好不好?

原来要哄一个人开心不是一件简单的事。

如果不开心的人是你很关心的人,那就更不简单了!

第一、 你不能因为他(她)的不开心而不开心。要不然就像我一样,两个一起变蓝。

第二、 不能耍超幼稚的法宝。

第三、 不能逼他笑,可能那人真的很没心情。但是他若不笑,就代表你很差;他若勉强笑,你根本就是很自私的要证明自己很了得。

第四、 唉……

事情是这样的:最近有位属于本小姐心中的重量级人物因为牙痛了整2个礼拜,成天闷闷不乐,整个人因没胃口吃饭而瘦了下来,甚至连最可爱的笑容也消失了。本小姐看了还真心疼,就试试要说些笑话来帮忙分散注意力。怎知出尽法宝了都还是没见效,反而自己也随着郁闷起来……真是伤脑筋啊!

各位朋友,有什么法宝尽管说出来分享分享一下!要不然我就快要失眠了啊~~~

我竟然很白痴的这样博君一笑……
我:你知道什么卡通人物就算牙齿烂到只剩下两颗,却也还能很开心的笑吗?
友人:嗯……(想了很久)……我不知道耶……
我:真的不懂哦?那我揭开谜底了咯?!
友人:(can't be bothered) 哦,说咯。
我:准备好了吗?
友人:…… =.=''











我:Ta-da!!!! Sponge Bob!!!

友人:呵呵……哎哟!牙齿忽然又很痛了

GO GO Fighting!

Finally done with my near 30-page report last night!! Yay & PPHHEEWW~~~!!
Hence, I decided to give myself a day off from work today before plunging my head into another coursework, which is a presentation on this coming friday = not that long for a break anyway =.=''
However however however .... it turned out to be

THE DAY THAT I SPENT MOST OF THE TIME WALKING ON THE ROAD.

From my house (A) - cross the Hyde Park - Oriental City, Queensway (B) (25 minutes)
From B - Kensington Church Street - Marks&Spencer, High Street Kensington (25 minutes)
From M&S - Sainsbury's, Cromwell Road (C)(15 minutes)
From C back to A (no short-cut, 30 minutes)
Total duration = 95 minutes
"Oh...you're just making a big fuss over that mere 95 mins of walk!! '' - Yep, that is so freaking true if I didn't carry 1-2kg of groceries from point B heading to point C, then added on another 2-3kg from point C to point A. And moreover, I went for wushu class in the morning before that groceries-marathon.


W-H-A-T?!!! WUSHU?????

Okok chill chill readers ... It was only my first (probably the last too :P) trial class actually. The reason for attending it? As usual laaaa - Bcz it was a free one ... heeeee!!!
At first, I didn't expect them to do anything intensive. But as they started the warming-up, I realised it was definitely nothing as easy as eating chocolates =.=''

1. Run around the badminton court for 10 rounds. Change direction - stop- change-stop- change.

2. Wushu style stretching

3. Up-and-down upper body movement in a half-seated position(马步) - on the spot jog, at a fast&sharp pace – bounce - pump -repeat for 5 times.

I was panting like a dog after the warm-up, and…and…Sping…even…got a green face and had to stop half-way…
Then it was another 1.5 hours of punching, blocking, kickings which I couldn’t take it anymore and left 30 minutes before the 2-hour class ended.

Anyway, it’s still a good day simply because at least I don’t need to mess around with Pymol/Molmol (structures visualisation programs) anymore! Yohoo~!!
p/s: Argggghhhhhh!!! Just realised that I forgot to pack in the Sainsbury's egg bites which I have already paid!! T.T Egg bites ... i want my egg bites back ... T.T =(
