Long awaited update

Lol... I just love the irony, I just decided to update my blogspot blog, I remembered my password but I forgot my user ID. I'm also updating from the office and not at home, since my home computer remembered both entries... *shrugs* XD. Anyway, here goes.

First, a summary of my previous semester. I managed to survive it, but only with the help of God. One of the most hectic periods of time ever (explanations can be found in my previous post). It's actually amazing I managed to not go crazy. Schedules were so hectic. As for the results, I got 2 Bs and 2 B-s out of it, and I did another module but I only had to pass it, which I did.

Church: Cell group wise, an initiative has been started where some of us start to get know each other better, since our cell group is huge. And I think I've been inducted to this small group which I know as the impromptu going out group.
I've also become even more busier now. Strange I didn't mention this earlier but I've been partially inducted into the sound ministry. As such, I'm somewhat part of the sound core. I'm heading a team of 3, all of which are in the core group itself. *rolls eyes* not that that is a bad thing either. Anyway, I'm can never be too particular about such matters anyway.

Work (?!!): Yeah, you might be thinking why I'm working when I'm still a student. Well, basically, Mum wanted me to get out of the house during the school holidays. This job that I'm at, only reason why I'm carrying on is because my boss (Esther) is nice. Otherwise, there isn't any other incentive. I'm only getting $25 a day for a 9-5 job. The pay's disgusting. My sub-boss, who I get my tasks come from, let's just say she doesn't know how to work my character sort of people (For those that did DISC, she's an I, and I'm a C... battle's brewing) okay, enough of bitching about her. :P
Anyway, about this job I'm taking. This company I'm working for, is this non-profit organization that was set up to deal with bullying among children and youth, and has organised this upcoming international conference to talk about such issues and how to solve them.
Where to do I fit into all this you might ask. When I first started off, I was compiling this survey from school (read: data entry). Each survey alone had like 50+ different type of entries to be keyed into the system. (initial software sux btw, reverted back to excel after compiling the info xD) It was kinda fun because there were certain sections which they had some free response. A lot of answers were amusing because either they didn't make sense like not answering the question, they were errors in some words and had to try to figure out what they were trying to mean, or some of those well thought out answers that you never thought would come out from these kids.
Right now, I'm in charge of the registration and payment for the conference. This admin thing has to be updated once in a while so there's never a dull moment too.

More importantly, it feels like school hasn't ended for me. Here I am, again feeling I have to be on my toes everytime, and I can't let down my guard ever. My chats with my dear (I really mean it) friends online are still suffering. There are times I wish to just be in front of the computer chatting the whole day again XD. Also, there's lots of stuff I planned to do during the holidays, that hasn't been touched yet. I'm sleep deprived *rolls eyes*... then again, I'm always sleep deprived XP. Right now, I can't wait for the conference to end on Tuesday, then it's goodbye b*tches and bullsh*t (read: I never really believed in the aim the company was working towards anyway) At least I have an idea what sort of working environment I do NOT want to have in the future.

Part 2 in the works. I think there's more to write on.... Have to think about it, I'm sure there more to pen down. okay okay, type down, you happy now?


NB to readers: (*rant alert* - BEST LEFT IGNORED)

PS. Jaslin, you want to borrow my Mum's "da chang jin", well you can go and !@#$%^&*() (best left censored), you wait long long before I lend you ar for treating me like I'm some kind of slave to you at work. Hypocrite and Two-faced ... Poooooi. Good riddance to you when the conference end. :P
