hello boys and girls,

ping's asked if we wanna go... i want! you all want?

more details to come later. :)

(work is kiam pah!)

update(s)

fy, i have decided to reject the offer that i have on hand currently. so won't be starting work anytime soon. but then i just had a call from them wanting to see me for the 2nd round of interview tomorrow morning, 10am!! freaking early for me nowadays because that is the normal time i wake up. hehehehe but for the sake of the job that i want, i will gladly make it man!

the AAD said meetup in office then have breakfast together!!! that is bad because i have to worry about etiquettes. haha am i worrying too much?

the BBQ still going on, nothing has come from val's side.

pw, have you emailed the class and asked them to RSVP?

updates le, people!!!

no subject

hey, my HK trip is confirmed, from 5 june to 11 june. haha.. looking forward to see 罗嘉良or 马德钟 over there :p

how's life for everyone? sy, u starting work soon? maybe we can meet up next week. monday, tuesday or thursday? when u all free? :)

these few days i have been lazing at home, job hunting has come to a stop. no motivation.. sent out a lot of resumes but no replies so far. tink my resume not impressive enough..

brought lucy for dental scaling today. did a blood test for her too. seems that she has a bit of problem with her kidneys. i have to watch her diet strictly from now on..

p/s: how's the bbq coming along? need any help? er, who will be going? dun tell me only cut6..

picture speaks a thousand words

needless to say, i am trying to put up all the pics we took but open the file, can only see this!!

mean mean pw

hey pw! how can you be so mean? that is not the only pose she had the entire evening! she was trying to pick up a guy with her keropok antics, remember??? :P

hey...

wei pw, u very bad leh. i not like that the whole evening ar..

anyway, enjoyed the gathering we had on thurs. hope many yrs down the road, we can still have this kind of gathering..

the camp i went on mon to thurs was my CF camp. it's for graduands from all the unis and polys. there were talks that were meant to prepare us for life after sch. this particular one was abt "Goals":

1. immediate goals (what u want to acheive now)
2. short-term goals (what u want to acheive in 3-10 yrs time)
3. long-term goals (what u want to acheive in 20-30 yrs time)
4. life long goals (what u want to acheive before ur life on earth ends)

we set goals to determine which direction in life we want to take. if we noe clearly what we want, the decisions we make in life will lead us to our goals. if we dun have any goals, maybe we will walk in circles and end up getting what we do not want.

when we come out to work, we are selling our time to employers in exchange for money. then we use the money to buy what we want. seems that money is our "currency" for buying things. but in actual fact our time is our "currency". that means whatever posessions we have is bought with our time (i.e. life) so what do we want to acheive with our life? is it just houses, cars, clothes, material posessions.. etc etc?

the saddest thing is when our life is coming to an end, we realised that what we fought so hard for is not what we truly want..

hmm.. is what i said very confusing? aiyo i also dunno how to say, but thru the talks i begin to think abt stuff that i didn't think abt previously. just want to share it with u all..

it wasn't for the lack of photos, but this was really what she was doing all evening

Change of Venue

whilst peiwen suggest korean food, i think essential brew is not bad. check out http://www.essentialbrew.com.sg/ it's essentially (pun intended!) a tea place but they serve food also. it's at holland V, same row as Starbucks and Burger King.

take a vote, quick! where where??

Going ONCE, going TWICE, SOLD!

Date: 19-05-2005; Thursday

*Take note of the change in meeting place. thanks!

[added by pei wen]

hi, went to mad flemmings today and would you guys like another place? cos mad flemmings is mostly a bar during dinnertime and it's better to go during lunchtime there.

y not u all give some suggestions? if i'm the only one giving ideas and turns out the place isn't nice, i don't want to be blamed mah.

ok that's all...

paika ma nee princess

mmm dinner on thurs leh. fine with all of us....coz fri 2 ppl cannot make it. so how? 30bucks is the very max pw's quoting. can la. lq's rich princess! hahahah

Event: Cut6 Reunion
Date: Tentatively 19th May 2005; Thursday
Venue: Mad Flemmings, Boat Quay
Meeting point: Clarke Quay MRT Control Station

pw: i got the place correct leh!!

sighs! i am alone again tonight. pw, your boss overnighting in "opit" tonight (again). aihh i don't know whether to rejoice or cry. hahaha!

i feel like dancing, shakey shakey!!

warning

erm i prefer wed or fri. but i do have a request. can we dun eat too expensive? no money liaoz, on budget... :p

last week, i was walking home when i kenna poked by a nail! through my shoes! grrrr... so pain! *ouch* somemore the nail so rusty and so so long! (=.= ) damn. i was "bai ka"("crippled") for a few days...

Next time, when you are walking, do remember to look down. you never know...

hmm ..

SORRY...

i noe i might get beaten up for saying this.. but can we change the dinner to thursday? same time same place. pw, you can?

really sorry abt this..

you are invited

hello remaining members of cutsix,

to reiterate sy's post below, dinner is this friday at Boat Quay. we are meeting 7pm at clarke quay mrt station, do let us know if you are coming or not. we don't like surprises.

mad flemmings should cost about 20 - 30 dollars, don't say i didn't tell you guys and we end up eating somewhere else.

blurrrrrr pic by lq's beau. if you all want the original ones (in bigger size) tell me.

cut6 meanies minus super editor and minah kwan

pictures taken on the mini cut6 reunion at yoshinoya, taka. sorry for the delay, all!! :P

run out of idea

hmm.. got boat quay mrt station? i thot its Clarke Quay mrt station? boat quay is near there right?

er, actually its coz i was an intern they less strict with me at that time. perm staff is more strict.. and its not that i dun like the company. i like the ppl there, they are very nice (there are nice ppl around, sy u dun be so pessimistic ar) but the environment is stifling. i dunno how to describe that exact feeling; the high turnover rate speaks for itself..

but i agree "perhaps a bad-tempered head is better coz he doesn't hide his feelings like some hypocrite out there..." my german boss is that kind of person. straightforward and emotional. when he's angry he just burst out at you (many a times causing much tears, esp among girls). but after that everything is back to normal, no grudges nothing. he's not a hypocrite who is nice in front of you and stabs you at the back. whatever he sees that is not to his liking, he just shoots. it's good in a way, u noe what u have done wrong. coz for sure he will point out your mistakes right in your face, u dun have to worry that he will do something behind your back. no hypocrisy. but u have to be able to withstand his lashing..

sy, i saw the ad for copywriter u sent to me. thanks! tomoro i’ll send them my resume :)

cut6 Reunion

Date: 20/05/2005; Friday
Time: 7 p.m.
Venue: Mad Flemmings, Boat Quay

let's meet at the boat quay mrt control station and proceed to the place together. :D like school times. so even if we get lost, we get lost together!! hahaha!!

lq, yh and jess: please tell us if you can make it. at least sms us. thank you.

me again

i dunno if the programme is free or not, but i dun think so. cannot be free one right?

i was looking at JobsDB.com and saw that my internship company is looking for a feature writer. the thought of applying flashed thru my mind. haha but my mind got the better of me eventually..

so our dinner is set next friday? want to invite F4 to join us?

Date: 20 May 2005
Time: 7pm
Place: Clarke Quay

over over

yah i'm on for the bbq. anything need help can let me know :p

not very free these days.. got quite a few meetings and camps.. graduate already also have to hand over properly mah. or else how will juniors continue?

anyway, job hunt is really tough. sent out quite a lot of resumes, but no replies. that day yiling msg me. said she attended a programme that taught her how to go about job hunting. she applied the skills and secured quite some interviews. she asked if i'm interested in the programme..

sure sy, anytime u wan come amk, just give me a call :)

ATTENTION ALL!!

please take note: our class BBQ:

Date:18/06/2005, Saturday
Venue: Val's house
Time: To Be Confirmed

Please pay $10 for the bbq. thank you. it's only a budget, afterall, 10bucks for a day of fun and last gathering with classmates aren't too much right? you all earn quite a fair bit during internship. Of course, i will bring down to less than 8 (I hope) and return the change to you guys.

RSVP by 10th June 2005, friday. thanks ha!

die-ed

i think our video has decomposed. ie, died and rotted for decades. jess said fy, you're busy this entire week. so she asked me to draw up a schedule or something. fy, btw you're a grad, so why are you busying yourself with CF? time to let go...

anyway the video has to be done before 30th may, what are you guys' take? i think it's not easy because of our procrastination and we're seriously lacking talent pool and no one is taking initiative except jess, fy and myself. i am not pointing fingers here but then it's rather tiring to have to come up with schedule and brainstorming session- what scenes need what, who, where, etc etc. i think our ultimate video is a bubble- blow big but burst gradually, into thin air.

fy, it's ok. i went ikea today with my friend. ok la the tables, nothing caught my eye. rather, nothing fitted my specifications, my needs. sighs! wana go ang mo kio walk walk ler see if there're any furniture shops there. do they?

anybody home? away for holiday

sorry sy, din managed to accompany you to ikea today. went to vega's father's office. he wanted to talk to me about starting a magazine. wanted me to help out in his company..

anyway, so how's job hunting? i discovered some interesting companies when i visited her father's office today. writing, branding.. and some others.

er.. our video die already? we won't be continuing anymore?

want to meet up for dinner next fri (20 may)?

doubtful

information from jess: edmund and mr loh won't be in school monday and tuesday, so our shooting will have to be postphoned to wednesday.

frankly speaking, i have doubts that we can come up with the video, with the current few kitten crew we have..

anybody home?

has shooting started? or is it postponed to monday? do we have any progress?

Shooting starts

shooting will start on friday morning. so lq and jess, please be early. jess you'd better be early ah!! the time, arrange with fy. sorry i am going back home on friday morning so cannot help out...

you all must be wondering why i go back on friday morning when i said i have interview on friday, 5pm right? oblivion me thought 5th may is friday, thus the blunder....heheheheh

so option 4 it is, yeah, all. gambate!!

i juz came back from Scotts Shopping Centre and i saw someone.
Do you guys remember this Mr. Steven Lim?
Anyhow, boyfriend and i were having our dinner when i turned around and saw this guy.
Looks familiar. Then i saw the infamous white badge/tag that reads "Steven Lim, Professional Eyebrows Stylist "
Den i confirm chop chop guarantee it was him.
But must have some evidence supporting mah, so i took a side shot of him using my phone..
He was having his watermelons then, and i snapped one shot discreetly.
After he left, i told the boy about that.
He was unconvinced til he saw the pic and zoomed it in.
Muahaha... But gonna delete it soon... Maybe after i showed u guys tom. might corrupt my phone :
i got an interview tomorrow (Wed) for the position as events executive.
Then another called and said there's this management trainee position that will eventually (with 6mths training) lead me to being a branch manager(!)
and another one is a temporary job as customer service...
that one i applied cos is related to my experience la...
if not, sooner or later, short of cash will die one>_<

Plans Changed.

sorry all, my plan changed. won't be going back after all because i just got another notice for interview on friday for AE! yay yay! :P

anyway meet tmr for storyline development ah? decide quick!!

fy, how was your trip? any satisfaction? tell us, tell us! i wana know more!!

missing in action

hi all, long time never post le. paiseh, been quite busy with the preparation of my mission trip. hmm.. i see only few are active on this blog. maybe we should seriously come up with another name for our group. not cut5 or cut4. we need another different name that suits our group better.

YES i'm all for BBQ Round 2. if anything need help we can all do it together (i hope)

sent out a couple of resumes lately. jobs i applied for: copy writer, editorial coordinator, corp comm executive, marketing coordinator. will be having an interview on thursday for the post of marketing coordinator. quite unrelated to media and comm, but i'll give it a try anyway. the only big con is that the company is at jurong east. manufacturer of marine and offshore control systems. sounds so alien to me.

a quote from the german boss at internship company:"There are three types of people: people who watch things happen, people who wonders what happened and those who make it happen."

back in the company, his pet phrase was "Make it happen." i realised this has some meaning behind. if we are those who just sit around and watch things happen or worse still, wonders what happened, we will miss out a lot of things in life. i'm trying to learn to be more active and less passive. it's a tough lesson for me..

June 18th Two-O-O-Five

ATTENTION EVERYONE: Val has proposed to have another class gathering on 18/06/2005. Should be BBQ Round II at her place... anyone has any objections? tell, quick horhh

yh be prepared to drown with the otahs and satays! sticks after sticks! woohhhhhh hiak hiak hiak

memory lane dont want us already

i was quite surprised to hear about not being able to borrow books anymore. our efficient BizIT still owes me two books i've asked them to buy since last last semester!!!

do you know that i once went to kaopeh to the stupid fat librarian because they went to release a book i've asked them to buy for public borrowing without telling me?!? i will always remember how that stupid fat librarian tried to sympathize by giving me this faux-understanding look.

hmph. stupid fat librarian.

anyway, about options 3 and 4.

a day in the life of white collar...
comical idea, but shooting is complicated.

14 days to...
non-original concept, but can be shot in private... needs to use lq's bf as talent though. heee...

oh, please stop talking about edumundooooooo, i'm so freaked out. if anyone of you were the one talking to him on the phone, you will definitely have a different view of him. i'm almost scared to look at him now.

Voting Closed. Verdict Out.

the decision is final. votes have been casted. it's TIME!!

fy- option 4.
lq-option 4.
super editor jess- option 3.
sy- option 3.
pw- option 3
yh- clueless. so shall treat the crew to meals. jess, claim from her instead bah! hahaha

VERDICT: OPTION 3 since it garnered 3 votes as opposed to option 4, which has 2. plus, it's easier to film, too.

sorry all, i have to go back to BP on wednesday, due to personal reasons. don't know when i will be back, depends whether i have interviews coming not. sighs! sorry i am not able to help out during filming. so have to depend on you all, fy and lq!! lq, PLEASE PLEASE (a million plead) don't be L-A-T-E, alright? thank you all.

the form, i will try to pass to fy or to pw.
