English is a killer to me.

I got my Christmas gift yesterday, which is the final episode of the Shopaholic series like I always hope for.
P.S: I will upload the photos very soon.

I threw myself to my seat and starting reading it. Well, I have to admit that it isn't a very good read compared to the other episodes. Firstly, I kind of lost the situation every once and then. I bet that's because the author add in quite a couple of character at a time. The story isn't that interesting and it is starting to lose the reader's interest. Quite a major crisis pop out and Becky is still isn't growing up. It is not a light and fun read anymore. Kind of, sinking into a deeper story and much boring( I would say). Nonetheless, I am still thankful for the gift by my big sister.

Well yesterday, I got scolded by my mum for being a bookworm and being a dumb(my word) and today when I woke up she began to talk a lot( consider to me) to me. I guess she must be feeling guilty for making me depressed and all that.

Then in the afternoon, she came into my room and talk to me about the book , asking me to wrap it or she even volunteer to wrap it(rare; unbelievable !) However, I told her that I'll wrap it myself later. SKIP.

Then, mom and Carol were chatting about books. Carol, then say that if people excel in English, they will tend to read a lot of novels and own quite a lot. Which I guess she is trying to help me to convince mum that buying books are good for me. All in all, her words have press into me. Pressuring me to get good grade in English, excel in English and because I have quite an interest in English and plus all my sisters didn't get good grade for English, her hopes are higher. She even told me that it really depends on ME to achieve good grade for English.

But things isn't what she sees.

I don;t think that my English are good.Furthemore, I bet that they will scold me if I didn't get good grade even after I have brought 6 novels. The number is consider big since our family hardly buy books, we simplyy borrow from the national library.

I guess I must have jab in quite hard to the keyboard because mum came over and ask me what I am doing.

HAIZ>

Life can be so hard sometimes~

PS: I am a weirdo because I don't like to get praise because PRAISING always come with HIGH HOPE.

Always feeling much better after typing,
Alexis.

ARR

Hi readers!
Yesterday, I went to Suntec city mall for an interview. Well, you didn’t see wrongly, I went to SUNTEC CITY MALL! Before I reached there, I was feeling all jittery and nervous (kind of) because I had never been travelling alone to somewhere which is so far apart from my place. Therefore, I was worried about whether could I reached there in time and if I could even find the mall but lucky there is something call map that can lead me to the mall. Phew. After I reached there, I struggled to find my way to the store.  
I was relieved when I saw “ TOYS “R” US”(the word) fall upon me. Well before I get started on my story about the interview. Let’s just say that the mall was eerily quiet. It looks like the renovated version of zhen zhu fang. *shivering*. The store was quiet too with little customer shopping inside.

Ok. Then, I told one of the crew that I was there for interview and she led me to the office (which doesn’t look like one to me, it look more of a warehouse). Then, the manager (I suppose) came and interviewed me. She asked me for my age and when I said fifteen. She gave me the “Huh” look which I guess I got from other employers. Jerk. In my mail, I already stated that I am fifteen if they couldn’t hire someone so young they why do they ask me to come down for an interview? Obviously, they don’t read mail’s content. Well, then said that she will interview me then ask the head about the age requirement.
After that, she went asking questions like how much do I know about TOYS “R” US? How many outlets do they have? Where are they located? How much do you know about the job? Do you like kids? Do you have younger siblings? Do you do household chores?
She kept pouring questions to me and then she got me confused.
I thought I was there for an interview for the Santa’s helper then she went saying that they don’t have gift wrapping job and so on. Which means that they are interviewing me to hire me as normal crew? Haiz, I don’t think that I will get that job nor do I want to take up the job offer anymore. I guess that ends my job hunting.

However, I had sent letter to fairprice asking about the result of the job interview I attended last month. I hadn’t receive and mails or calls from them but I really want to know the result. Even if I didn’t not get the job; I still want to know the reasons behind it. Maybe I am too determined or too desperate for that job as my sister remarked.

I guess I just have to wait patiently for the reply.

Signing off,
Alexis.

A beginning.

Hey, welcome to my blog. Well, I have actually start a new blogger and abandoned the last two blogger I had. I wanted to change the blog skin into a better layout but failed to do so. Maybe I will try that next time. Oh silly me, I even forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Alexis, studying in the small red dot, Singapore. I will be taking my O level next year. I am having December holidays now and Christnas is coming. I thought I should blog to relieve my stress while this actually gives me the opportunity to improve my writing skill. I will try to write as many as I could because I will be getting busier.

Today, I woke up at around 11 plus and found myself staring at the ceiling. Recently, I got into fights with my mum and my feelings hasn't been nice since. Sometime I just feel so lonely and wish to say goodbye to the world. Well,maybe I haven't had the courage to do so. Huh?

Come to think of that, I had not spent my holiday fruitfully or meaningfully I guess.?

For the whole November, I had been attending holiday classes and preparing for the Girls' Brigade stuff like planning for the Open House, CIP trip. Oh, Yesterday I just came back from Pulau Ubin. I thought that was quite an enjoyable trip except that they should have plan some activities like amazing race. I had seen quite a couple of interesting plants such as lemon grass(which smell so nice), bamboo, Kang Kong, lady fingers and much more. Unfortunately, it was pouring yesterday so we couldn't see those creatures such as crabs which we could see during low tide. Too bad, I hope that it will not rain when we go there for camping next year. There were so much to see, so much to explore and so much to learn.

Well, I think that after tying all my thoughts, i felt better. At least, there is somewhere I can express my thoughts!

I guess I really thanks technology for blogger, hotmail and facebook.

Talking about hotmail, I am still waiting replies for jobs.Haiz, why wouldn't employers hire me? I am hardworking and is willing to learn. Well, maybe because I don;t have any experience and is still 15.

I think I really enjoy posting. It is so enjoyable and I don;t think I can get sick of it.

With blogger, I will not need to talk to my stuff animals9who will never respond) or look for outreach like counsellor.

I guess that's all for today.

I will try to post as much as I could.

Another thing is that, I am sorry if you found my post hard to read.

Probably, I just throw in what I am thinking and didn't really try to organise it.

Hmm, I will try to make my post more readable for you READERS!

Signing Off,
Alexis.
