Thursday, another day to the looming weekend liao..
This morning sent a document to Holland Village..and believe it or not, this was the first time i was exploring Holland V. Previously, i always passed by the place in bus.. So it was pretty fun, coz the shops there are pretty exotic-looking. I delivered a document to the Party City Pte Ltd. In fact it's a shop which sells partying stuff..like wigs, maggots(fake ones of coz), balloons..etc. So after the gal at the counter signed off and chopped my log book, i juz look around the shop lor. The gal then had this puzzling look on her face..like a postman is forbade from shopping for partying stuff like that. Since i am here in buona vista, and there's nothing to deliver after this, might as well jus linger around lor..
Saw a 2 storey Coffee Club while waiting for bus 200 to get back to the mrt. But it is situated out of nowhere..
Today is tuition day...and it was my second lesson with him. This guy and his family really resembles my family sia. The way my student talk also freaking resemble my younges brother. So i start to ask him if he plays MAPLE STORY when he is free. He was like shocked in his face that i knew maple story. HOWEVER, that is if he assumes that i play the game, which obviously i don't. GUNBOUND may be.. but not that maple syrup game. I rather have that with pancake..and not playing it on computer. He is quite ok with his subjects..juz need some drilling..totally the same situation as my brother lor..
Today i was being another kind good SAMARITAN by helping PEARLY my job agent to ask if any gals interested to take up an admin job in paya lebar... So i first call angel, then xt..then i dunno why that as i flipped through my contact lists in my phone, i juz called Xiuqing. Xiuqing told me that she is currently looking for a permanently job rather than a part time one. She asked me to call Meiqi. Machiam like transfer call like that right. Too bad cannot transfer call but i have to call Meiqi. I think she don't have my number or she is juz too speechless that i will call her. So i have to say "i am zhongxian" like twice then she realised that it was me. So Meiqi was the final candidate for this job assignment and she is waiting for confirmation of the job.
So that's the episode for today..yea. If the job offer had been for guys..i would have plenty of frens on my list to call. lol. Guys easier lor, gals are fussy :P
While i was despatching some documents within Raffles city tower itself (internal despatch), i came across a document for this company: NEOPETS(ASIA) PTE LTD. Ladies and gentleman, pls tell me that this company has nothing to do with that neopets we all came to know. I mean NEOPETS(ASIA)....u mean what? It has some headquarters? It's some big corporation which manages the NEOPETS' living expenses, managing the users' funds? Come on. Can't be right.. Ok enough of my crappy shit, but seriously came across this company. May be if i juz drop by their company, their receptionist will be dressed in some dragon costume>? Cool huh.
So bo liao mr nick went to do a research and find an astonishing website:
http://info.neopets.com/presskit/compback.html
This link kinda narrates to you the history of NEOPETS..lol you should go read.
Juz an excerpt from there:
History
The website, www.neopets.com, was founded by British college students Adam Powell and Donna Williams. The Neopets website initially went live on November 15, 1999. The development from a simple website into a viable business took Neopets, Inc. company founder and CEO, Doug Dohring, just a few short months. With the guidance and expertise of an experienced management team, Neopets, Inc. developed into an operating business by April 2000 (following its February incorporation), and reached initial profitability by July 2000. During that same period, the Company brought on the artists, writers, programmers, sales and support staff, and many of the additional senior management that currently comprise The NeoPets Team.
In just four years, the Neopets website has grown from operating on a single server to over two hundred servers currently. The site peaks at just under two gigabits of bandwidth each day (the equivalent of approximately 1400 T1's), and generates over 20,000 new account registrations daily. 
This is a Chihuahua..not NEOPETS!
