I just came back from bishan gv. I've just watched 'Departures' at 11.50pm cos Miss Yvonne wanted to watch it. The movie was good. Well. She cried. Oops. I didnt; I just didnt feel anything abt anything. lol. The movie ended at 2.15am. Miss Yvonne and I worked till very late today. She have to teach evening class and I have to attend a family seminar till 9.45pm cos it's part of my job. The seminar was good. I just learnt tons of things even though it was for parents but it does make me ponder abt how I can change my situation with my loved ones. Actually I been trying to learn how to be gracious with my loved ones but I kept failing. I never know how much I've been hard on them. I guess I just found my answers.
For the passed 2 weeks, I been thinking abt what Miss Yvonne said to me. "Girl, can you learn how to be gracious with people? You got to have a big heart. People are not perfect. You wont be feeling like this, if you have forgiven a person." At first, I didnt understand what she was trying to say. I guess I really have been bitter all these times. In my mind, I been carrying this mindset that- 'I can forgive but not forget what people had did to me especially my loved ones.' Im always feeling upset whenever my loved ones disappoint me. I have no idea how to solve this issue but Im trying. Im broken inside out (i guess it's the same for everyone) but yet I dont want to get heal or maybe I really have no idea where to start. Im always having (unknowingly) high expectation with my parents in my life. I always bear the hope of what they said abt providing me with these and that especially coming to education.
Yes. Im not smart academically. But I do have interests in my life- Visual Communication and Stop-Animation are always in me. That is what I like and love to do. I can see myself doing it. I havent been crying or tearing for awhile. Whenever come to 'talks' like disappointment abt my parents, I tear. I felt so cheated all these times. My dad said he will provide my education till he cant work anymore then he will get me to save up my own money to study but now he dont want to provide me for my education. My mum on the other side, kept saying that I wasted their money studying at CHEC. Yes. CHEC school fee is an amount, but I learnt alot of things that I cant learn elsewhere. I saw the part time course that NAFA is providing and is a 6 months course that cost abt $1300. I asked my parents for it and wellsss... Answer is, "Nope. Go and save up your own money." I felt clueless. I felt lonely doing all these. Im pek chek. Is money everything? What can money do? Buy happiness? Buy hope? Well. It does make me feel this way now. No money = no education = no future = no love = no happiness. Be a begger then.
Maybe my parents have their difficulties. This is where I grew up. I really holding onto the grudges that my parents did. It's really affecting me now; Towards my friends. Im beginning to whine alot verbally and in my heart too. Im letting go of my disappointment, so that I wont think so much. Im not emotional. Im figuring things out in my mind. It's just another season in life that everyone trying to figure and settle down with. Im happy in life; Never felt that life sucks. Yes, it's tiring. Well. This is just part of life. =) I hope that I will get rich soon- I will and gonna be filthy rich, outrageously wealthy; very rich. I want the world to be envying me of where I grew up and came from. I want to have a story to tell to the world.
Im changing; It's a definitely thing that I cant change overnight. I will definitely change for the better. It's all about having character at the end of the day. Im not perfect, so I better dont expect people around me to be perfect too. Cheers!

Yahoo!! Somehow I cant believe it. Why? Oh. Cos people around me were trying to frighten me lah. Too bad. I passed at my first try!! Very easy till I can close one eye and do it. Well.. I guess Im damn lucky lah.
I went into the room at 3.15pm; I cant log in and I asked the instructor for help, he asked me to go to the information counter. Then I found out that I went into the wrong room. -.- Alamak. So pai seh lah. Then I went into the correct room quite late due to the information counter- there was long queue. The lady at the counter was like, "Girl. I wish you good luck, hopefully you can go into the room to take your test cos you're too late. But you can try."
Oh well.... I kinda keep begging the instructor to take my test and he said, "Ya la ya la. Go la." HENG MAN!!! Hahaha. When I start my test, I realised that I left 25mins!!! Panicked loh. I worried I cant finished the 50 questions in time. When I was at my question no. 2, others are at question no. 23 loh. WOAH!! Even more wanna pee on my pants. I tried calming myself by saying, "I can do it and I will finish it with a PASSED! And plus Miss Yvonne prayed for me too." Woohoo!! Yeah. Guess what? Im the 2nd person to finish my BTT. After I end my test, I looked at my right and the lady failed. I feel damn sad for them. I felt like telling them, "Nevermind. Dont give up. You will pass the next round. Cheer up alittle, alright? =) ." Oh well. I didnt. Cos I feared she will think, I just being a show off. And I also saw my primary school fren too. Hahaha. He failed. His fren too. A few people too. =(
So after that, I went onto wanting to book FTT and the kiosk machine broke down. BEST LOH!! Always!! I wrote to complain already. Hahaha. Im tired right now. Going to finish some work and heading to bed. Nights. When I get my license - Miss Yvonne going to be the first person, I'll drive around then follow by my LOVES.

1st Drawing- I did a draft cos I was so tired and I cant stay focus. This is what I called "WARM UP". The drawing is not even completed loh. I gave up on this piece and went on to start another one. Eh... Does the drawing looked like it tuck in (under the table)? Lol.
2nd Drawing- Something's still not right but I tried my best for the day. I went to a corner to lepak and sit down on the floor and pulled out a chair and start drawing hor. Wah. I tell you.... After that I want to K.O. on the floor. It is very tiring to stay focus and pay attention to the object that you want to draw. My eyes sored like....... I can hweeeeelllll it hanging...
Yeah. And I can really feel I somehow get the hang of shading now. Im so happy. My Arts teacher, Mr John congrats me. HhhhhhhMmmmmMm... -.-" But.. Welllsssss.. I really want to thank you. You been very nice and patience with us... I like!!!
I no longer working at Subway and Outdoors Bar Cafe. Im now currently working full time at CHEC, City Harvest Education Centre as a Marketing Communications Officer and also an Event Officer. I send out proposal, I run events (e.g. students' bday celebration, CHEC Family Seminar, O School: The Big Groove & K.O. Night), meet clients, visitors, etc... If I break down the details of my job scope, I think we will go crazy here, k?
YEAH!! So people STOP STOP STOP asking me questions like...
1) Why I never see you at Subway or Outdoors already?
2) I went to Subway/ Outdoors that time but then I didnt get to see you leh. Were you on leave?
And one last thing, Im also studying part time for Arts in CHEC. Im picking up how to draw and today, Im so so happy that I managed to grab hold on the shading a little more now. I will post up my drawings soon. Im still at my working place and Im heading to YCK's SSDC. I have BTT trial test later at 9.10pm and tmr Im on leave cos I took a day off to study and stay focus for my BTT!! WOAH!! I better pass!!
Im thinking to sign up a part time course- Basic Visual Communication at NAFA. I need to check out the timing schedule before I sign up. I dropped the department an email already. Teehee. DAMN HAPPY FOR SOME REASON!! Im going to be successful one day!!

Yes. Continued from Mr Benjamin Yeo's bday celebration last saturday. Fiona came up with a plan of not letting him know that we're going to celebrate his bday on sat. This is our plan.... So that day,
Ben: So hardworking! Ok! Nothing. Just asking for fun only! My body aches! After the camp!
Me: Haha. Ya la ya la. Little loser. You busy for camp. Mine is big business. Up to 50K proposal loh. Yes. All money business this week la. Plus I lost legal matter document. I pro right? Luckily it was photocopied but lost till dont know where and I still have to go and find it loh. SIAN!
Yes. We lied to him, holding our surprise plan in our heart. Teehee. Yes. I, Joann Quek, holding on to the coldest side of myself to lie to him, so that I wont leaked out anything- if not, I will get slaughtered by FIONA HENG!! So Fiona brought him our to haji lane to blu jas cafe. Xl, Mel and I were there waiting for them. On Fiona's side, she kept telling Ben to go to haji lane cos she want to buy some t-shirt from there. So as they are walking- From a distance, Ben with a smiley face saw us from far, suddenly showed this expression on his face =( . Hahaha. Xl, Mel and I continued pretending to eat and drink. Hahaha. Then Ben was like.... "Why are you guys here? Why?! Why?!?!!! Why?!?!" Lol. I said, "Ok. Sit down. I said SIT DOWN!!! Here's your present." Blah blah....
He said he felt so cheated but at the same time touched. He also said for the longest time, he never felt so cheated and that is like.... Lol. Words cant be expressed out from his mouth. Oh wellssss... Hahaha. We bought J.Co Baby Donuts as a bday cake for him. Wow. I bought candles from a party shop and cost me a BOMB!! But is very nice candle lah. We took alot of "polarnoid", anyway is actually instant photo. Polarnoid is a brand. Dont make mistakes anymore. =)
The full pictures of us!!
"Wu Da Tian Wang" Hahaha. Our individual photos.
Yes. Their loves. They asked me when's mine coming? Well. Not for the moment. Not interested in all these in my life. Never gonna believe this kinda shit for long, till I really see a hardcore good example couple for myself. No, dont get me wrong. Of cos, I love their loves too. My loves, their loves add up together will be my L.O.V.E.S. Maybe that is why my L.O.V.E.S stands for 5 person? Whatever it is. Anyway they took the bloody nice photo for themselves. Yes, of cos, they asked my permission. Of cos, I will give it to them because I love them more than they do.
Thank you, Celeste. I wouldnt take some much instant photo with your camera. I will return you soon. And I need your photo too. Hahaha. Love you.
16 March 2009
Yes. I got back to work on monday. I post all my L.O.V.E.S photos at my office desk. Yes. I want to remind myself that no matter how tired, busy, bored or stress I am, I will continue running for my dreams. Even if I fail, I will know that they are around and out there somewhere for me.

5 March
I went to eat Sushi with Dan Dan. In the end, he ate till damn full cos we ordered too much at one go. But for me, I didnt eat much cos I was having very bad migraine till it causes me to go to the restroom to vomit. Lol. I been having hardcore migraine and causes me to have feel dizzy most of my time. AM I DYING SOON?! CHOY!! Oh ya. I gave Dan 4 CDs but got rejected back with 2 CDs. Lol. Not his fault.

Im saving it for myself. =)

I woke up in the morning, feeling damn giddy, no appetite for anything and throwing up like a merlion!! Water water water. I took mc for a day. I went to see a doc and doc gave me something to spray into my nose. Lol. He said that probably is cos of the humid and rainy days that causes my migraine to get worsen up due the bad weather and allow me to not to breathe in enough fresher air. Oh well. Sound abit weird and no link but well.. Let's see whether will I get better with his medicine. Lol. =) I need to get back to work tmr. I have tons of things to clear!!!
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
I can only say I laughed and whined like one dooooggggg today lah.
I was upset with some money issue with friends but now things are clarified and one more upset issue is........ MISS YVONNE KEPT FORGETTING THINGS!!!!!!!!!!
1) Last fri, wanted to da bao lunch for me but forget to buy. (HmMmm.. -.-")
2) Today....She asked me to wait for her programme to be finished at 8.30pm and we can go home tgt and she.... REMEMBERED THAT SHE GOT ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH HER FRIEND at 9.45pm!!!
DOUBLE T.T , =( and #**&^%$# I mean angry not vulgarities. Lol. But I kept laughing and explain myself very clear that Im angry. Im really angry and disappointed. Well. I know Miss Yvonne felt damn bad but I cant help myself to claim down too. She kept sayang-ing me and I hold her by her arm and said, "Dont touch me. Im angry. Even though I dont looked like I am right now." I really dont know why I was angry but yet still giggling and smiling away. I guess that is when I really really love and cherish someone in my life and I could be able to do that. Cos I realised I can do that with Ben too. Is all over now. Miss Yvonne apologised a thousand times to me and... OF COS... She's forgiven. I just love her very much.
After that, she sent me off to the grand cathay which is cineplex. She still felt so guilty and decided to give me a big hug before she left. Hahhaa. Finally a hug could yeast down my anger and I felt her sweetness and her genuinely apology. So I continued my journey to hunt some presents for Dan Dan. SIM SIAN AIK!!! PLS DONT BUY ANYTHING FOR YOURSELF FOR THIS WEEK!!! Except food and drinks lah. Siao! I dont want you to die out of the blue hor. Lol. Im still looking for one more thing for you.. Hopefully they have it lah!! So many places out of stock lah. Alamak!! Alright. Im signing off. Bye!

That's the happiest thing I can say for now. And my migraine react again and was merlion-ing over at Drive thru. Lol. I watering the plants. Well. Im a good "gardener". Agree? =X
The next day (saturday), I went to church. I was an hour late. Oops. I wasnt feeling quite well due to last night's migraine. After service, Dan Dan (Aiky) passed me Patrick, the starfish. It is a handphone chain. Hahaha. I attached it to my hp already. Damn cute and annoying. Just like msn webcam picture. *faint* Well. After that, I followed Dan to shop but he couldnt find anything that he want. Yeah. So we took mrt back home... AND WE BYE BYE when I hit Braddell!!!
Thank you, Dan!! I really love it =)

She must be missing us not BEN YEO!! Hahhaha. Well. Yesterday seem to be a quiet night for us. I dont know why. Maybe cos all of us were quite tired. But Im glad with have each other's presence. =)
