I've been working everyday so my life at the moment has been pretty routine.

Aside from that, I've been up to my neck in scholarship applications cus writing personal statements is so gosh darn difficult since I'm like in a holiday mood now >.<

Been lots of drama going on at my store.. I think I've been too caught up in it after I got involved in the whole thing. I got my first warning letter after 3 years of a clean record all for opening the safe to get coins for the petty cash! Technically it is my fault since technically only the manager can do that but having worked here so long, my past managers tended to bend the rules a little..

Unfortunately my new manager is both inexperienced and unprofessional. She is also very self serving and backstabs other people to protect herself. At first I thought I was the only one who noticed this, but after news of my warning letter spread, my colleagues started confiding all their woes about this new manager and it seems every single person in my store doesn't like working with her. Some find that she seems to be keen on climbing the corporate ladder at all costs.. Some find her attitude toward work to be less then professional and up to standards. In any case, she has effectively lost any smidgeon of respect I had for her as my manager. Not only has she gotten on my nerves every time I work with her due to her inability (or unwillingness) to multitask and pull her weight around the store, she also steps all over people in order to save her own skin.

Therefore, with nothing to lose I have taken a silent stand against her. I leave exactly when I'm supposed to end work and I don't stay back to help with the rest of the lunch crowd (I leave her to scramble and handle it herself). When my boss came to check on the store, I purposely made sure everything that she had overlooked was immediately apparent (which she got a huge scolding for, she got real stressed ou after that :P ) and I intend to keep on doing so because everything I'm doing is perfectly legal, I'm not breaking any rules! So there is nothing she can do to stop me ^^

So all that ongoing drama aside, Gee's 21st bday is on the 7th! We couldn't think of a suitable gift for him so one day while we were wandering around raffles city shopping centre, we were looking at the directory for shops we could buy a present from. I jokingly pointed at the Calvin Klein underwear store which turned out to be a wild but pretty good idea since it turns out to be one of the things he wants =P
So having to block my ears while they were discussing the more intimate details of the gift, we all finally settled on it and we're getting Gee a pair of CK briefs for his 21st! Hahahaha! I can't wait to see the look on his face XD
So in addition, we also got him a ring engraved with a message from us and a cake and lunch tmr!

I've started on compiling a portfolio of my works, so I had to get my photos printed out. It cost me a bomb >.< In total I will spend more then $100 getting this portfolio together! If it wasn't for the fact that it's for a job interview and that it would be useful later, I wouldn't dream of doing this T.T

Also thinking of getting an SLR.. The Canon 450D or 1000D are some of the few I'm looking at currently.. I don't even know if I can spare that kind of money at the moment..

LONDON IN 18 DAYS!!! I so can't wait!!
We're going to london, then heading up to Stoke-on-Trent and Alton Towers (whee!)
For the first time, I'm actively planning this whole trip since its our first major trip since I re-entered school (I'm so dying to have a major holiday >.<)
