Post-holiday blues

Watched ma long-awaited movie "Up" on mon at marina square wif cal. had yoshinoya's teriyaki chicken for dinner n read ma book - A thousand splendid suns - at mac in raffles city. tis book almost left mi in tears on de bus to school. sooooo heartbreaking. abt 2 afghan women who led such miserable lives tat i could not imagine exisiting in de 1st place.

when i read till de veri last page, de author said dat both de characters "mariam" and "laila" were fictional. I was like "duh!" seldom did i read a fiction book totalli engrossed!

sch juz started tdy. felt a heavy post-holiday blues since days back. suddenli i'm transported back into reality, juz like teleport of some sort. 3-month juz whizzed past like a passing shower. N tdy it's all printing of notes. Gone to national library after temple to photocopy a reference book, which I was supposed to buy. But due to money constraints, decided not to buy de original book. Original book costs 26.50. But i onli spent abt 12 bucks on photocopying in total! So mi ish veri happi for de big savings.

ytd cooked fried rice for dinner. compliments from everione in ma household so was happi too. so i'm veri proud of maself. tdy juz a simple campbell's cream of chicken (added in shitake), baked beans n lettuce. decided not to spend $ on food outside since i gotta backup for buying textbooks. But anihow, i've no time to cook liao! Sch's reopening. Tink i'll have to put nissin, tung-I, chu-qian-yi-ding, nongshim etc on standby mode.

ealier tdy had interview by ritz carlton. in group of 5 to solve a case on service recovery in F&B settings. As usual, wat else could be say but: apologise, show empathy, waiver of bill, offer meal voucher, assure customer we will resolve it, follow-up, SHOO-AND-OUT-YOU-GO!

am realli veri scared now. am taking a year 3 module whereby i'm onli in year 2. somemore dunno anione. blame ma laptop for not reacting fast enough during course registration. aniwae ma laptop is juz up and i realli thank sis followed by God. Or shld it be de other way round? days without internet seriously were hard to pass.
