Wassup!
Hey everyone! Hey poor, neglected blog!
Been quite a while since i last wrote in here. Previously, i complained that there really wasn't very much to write about then suddenly heaps of things happened and i had no time to write!
Let's see, been to perth and kl, took 4 MAS sanctioned exams and had my first day at work today!
Perth. Went there for CNY with my parents and had a great time! Lots of good food and catching up with old friends like Hy and Jass. Oh, also played lots of badminton but i discovered i'm really bad at it now, think i'll stick to tennis!
Coming back from Perth, i had to take 4 exams; M1, M5, M9 and HI (Health Insurance). Had to clear these before i was to be hired by Standard Chartered Bank (SCB). Cleared the first one easy and got too complacent and promptly failed the 2nd one! Bloody hell, that was the first multiple choice test i have ever failed! Even in Uni when i had a 10 question mcq test that i knew nothing about and guessed a b c d a b c d a b got me a mark of 6/10 but this time luck wasn't on my side. Suffice to say i took it a lot more seriously and cleared the others without too much difficulty. Especially HI since i had a ton of help from Denise and her old, highlighted textbook.
As a reward of sorts, i got to follow Joanna up to KL for the Easter long weekend. Now anyone who drives regularly up to KL in a Singapore registered vehicle knows the Malaysian traffic police view the seperatists' vehicles as year end bonuses. So it was no surprise that we got pulled over no more than 15 minutes after clearing the courseway at tuas. Apparently, 110km/h was considered speeding when a freaking board just down the road proclaimed the speed limit to be 110hm/j (J for Jam which is hour in malay i believe). Luckily Auntie and Polly were not having any of it and after a brief consultation between the copper and his mate in a van parked nearby, they decided that it was "Wrong number" and waved us on. I really don't understand why they don't try and stamp this rubbish out. Just put an anti corruption officer in a Singapore registered vehicle and catch every one of those clowns! Anyway, it was all worth it as the food there was GREAT!
Was treated really really wonderfully by Joanna and family. Had a great time playing with her nephew John John. He has perfected the art of flattery to get out of trouble, and all at the age of 4+. Do something wrong and he says "i love you" unashamedly. Worked on me for a while then i finally told him that i would tell his mommy and she would introduce his old friend teng tew (rottan) to his bottom. New tack, "Dear (Joanna) loves you!"
Joanna's bro also brought us all over the place for great food. Loved the satay over there. Each stick was a veritable pound of meat (ok, maybe not) but at least it wasn't like the scawny, anorexic ones we have here in singapore which are kinda like our lians.
Tiring to write and even more tiresome to read i reckon so i'll stop now... "1st Day of Work" will have to wait till tomorrow.
