Lucky thing the meeting with NEC went smoothly and we manage to get $8/hr = $96..... -_-...... was hoping for at least a $100 but beggars can't be choosers lol.
Good thing I can still look forward to great food for dinner! Mom decided to try to make Ginger and Spring Onion Pork Rice (direct translation ><). She tried to imitate the dish from out S11 stall and it was very successful for a first time and very nice :) Should introduce her to my school's canteen 4 Black Pepper Fish Rice lol!

Pork Fats
I've never seen so many pork fats in my life. Mama was making prawn noodle so she asked Mummy to fry some pork fat. And I SERIOUSLY heard her say: " Buy $5 worth of fats." I went to Shop'n'Save and all I saw packages of only 60cents to $1+ and I was like "Huh? Y they give so little only? It does shrink when you fry them maybe thats why Mom wanted $5..."
I actually considered buying the whole shelf off so all the packets would add up to $5 but thought it wouldn't be so nice. So I went home with $3+ worth of fats. When my mom saw she went hysterical and said: "I said 50cents not $5 dollars!" So yeah.... we tried to sell some away to our close reatives and my story we repeated over and over and over again... lol...

Oh No!
Lol... reaction of the day man!
It all started when Nanci, my Graphic Design teacher gave us an extra project that involved a real client: NEC. Noooo not the computer brand but Nanyang Executive Centre lol... They wanted to rebrand their centre which serves like a one-stop learning experience inclusive of hotel rooms and restaurant and believe me, they did if you saw their design package lol. Once we heard we'll get paid if our design was choosen, we jumped at the chance!
I think this was the shortest deadline I ever had to rush with so many collaterals to produce. So Trixie, Cherlyn, Dan and me slogged for I dunno 2 weeks and came up with some professional looking products. We even had to 'sell' ourselves to the client today, what with Dan's speech of "what sets us apart from the rest!"
But after slogging for 2 weeks, reality hits us that if we were to get choosen we'll need to work on it for another one more week to finalise production and plus all the hw we have over recess week, it not even a holiday! So ironic as it was, many prayed to impress the judges but NOT get choosen.
And unfortunately or not, that was what we got! Nanci called Trix and it went something like this-
N: Do you know why I'm calling?
T: ... ?(long pause)
T: Em... is it about NEC?
N: Well yeahhhh...
N: What do you think will be the result?
T: ...?(ANOTHER long pause)
T: Er... I dunno?
N: ... (Long climax pause)
N: YOU WON! :D
T: OH NO! O.O
N: Huh? Why "Oh No!"?!
T: Erm *tries to distract*
T: Lynne! We won!
Yah... and now you know...lol...
