OFF day again! The Day of REST!

So....How are my lovelies doing? I hope everyone is fine because I am totally brimming with happiness. You should know why I am so happy!


TWILIGHT.


Yeah. That's right! I know what you are thinking and I know that it's lame but I cannot, in any other way, help myself. Anything and everything that has to do with Twilight made me super happy. It's how life is for me right now. Ha!



So, yesterday, I folded 41 POSTERS OF TWILIGHT. I folded every single piece with a smile on my face that my store manager was surprise! I mean he didn't understand why I was smiling rolling posters. Well, it's because the posters were twilight posters. I was going bonkers. I want one of it but since I bought the movie companion too early, I can't. So, I complained and whine (quietly) but one of the department managers heard me anyways and asked me what book I bought, hence I told her about the book from the previous Blog (which is posted below). She listened and went away, only coming back with a BAG! The bag is awesome because it has "the twilight saga" posted on it! I mean how crazy is that? So, tomorrow I will bring the bag to work from now on!


And although I want the posters, I don't think I should buy it. You have to buy a book or any twilight merchadise, I can't splurge. I have to save for Christine B'day outing and I dun wanna be out of cash. Now that I am away from the posters, I can actually think straight. I feel like I am Edward when he first met Bella. All he wanted to do was kill her and nothing else. Just like me, everytime I am surrounded by Twilight mayhem, all I want to do is purchase them. Nothing else matters.



So I miss my girls. All of them. I miss them so much and I cannot help but cry sometimes. I feel so lonely and I hate the fact that I cannot meet them without cash. Damn this world. I really wish all of the girls and I will go out one day. That's of course after my pay.



Oh yeah, there's a sneak for Twilight on the 12th. I am not sure yet but that's what they told me. So I am going if there is a sneak. Hopefully, the timing would be ok and there's a midnight show if I am working the afternoon shift. So anyone wanna come?


I miss you girls. Isabella, Christine, Liyana, Hafizah and Razia.

I finally have my sanity in place.

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I bought the Twilight The complete Illustrated movie Companion. I feel like my anxiousness have calm down a little bit but not so much- I get so hyped up when someone tell me something about Twilight. Even if it's someone over the phone who, by chance, just wanted to know if there is stock of Twilight book in the store. I get so excited just answering it. Today, there was 3 people who asked me about Twilight over the phone. I was overly answering them. Seriously, I was. Here's a few examples.


#Example UNO

Me: Kinokuniya. Good Morning. Shilla Speaking. Can I help you?
Customer: Hi. I want to ask you if you have stock on the Twilight series.
Me: Yes, Mam! We do. We have it in hard covers and it comes with a package
that'sthe series in one box. It's quite value for money and I think if you want to buy
Twilight, you should buy the whole series because it's really a good story.
Customer: Er....yeah. Thanks. Bye. (hung up)


#Example DOS

Me: Kinokuniya. Good Afternoon. Shilla speaking. Can I help you?
Customer: Yes. I was wondering if you have Twilight?
Me: Yes. (My manager said not to answer too much. But I so badly want to.)
Customer: How much is it?
Me: Well, Mam, for the Twilight series there are two versions. The original cover cost
about $17.07 and the movie version cover is cheaper-it's only 13.95. The movie
covers comes in 2 sizes and 2 version.
Customer: Hmm. That's interesting. Which would you buy.


At this point of time my heart was accelerating!!! Finally, a customer who wanted to know what I, Roshilla Cullen, thought!!!! So I kinda told her that I would buy both because I am the Twilight fan. She laughed and asked me if the book is good. I told her ( I think I screamed) that it was! After I did (explain to her how good the books were), she told me she would buy the whole set and said I was convincing!!! I was so happy that I told everyone! I made BUSINESS for them!


So all in all. I am happy today. Mostly because of the book that is posted here. And, of course, the amazing customers who asked me about Twilight. It made my day!

Finally...A time to update!

Yay! I can update now....because I am having an OFF day tomorrow...So I can sleep late tonight and use the time to update on my life.





Life is good. Work is fun. I am a receptionist. I sit down almost everyday. I am not that tired.





One thing I found out about working with others in KINOKUNIYA is that I hate perfectionist. I really cannot be with them. Or around them. They irritate the life out of me and I can die just being so.....irritated. Fussy. Seriously, I cannot make one mistake. They give me these kind of 'are-you-stupid?' look. I mean if one is a perfectionist, at least tell me how to do that something and not accuse me of not listening. People make mistake and it's too bad when a perfectionist cannot accept that.





So Twilight will be out soooooooon. I cannot wait. Seriously I can't I am going to love every minute that I spent just watching it and go crazy. I think Illysa ears will bleed...Muahahahahaha! I cheated too. I read reviews. Well, I only read one and the reviewer said that Edward and Bella character was believable because of the actors!!! I knew my darling Robert Pattinson could do it....He's hot as it is..... I LOVE YOY, ROBERT!!! You're the best!


Ok so that's all....Pretty boring, huh? Well, that's life for ya!

Twilight premieres today. I cannot help but feel a little down.

What's up?


Sorry. But I am not in the mood. I am here to whine.


So if you don't like it. Please, there's the X red butten on the upper right hand on your laptop. By all means, press it.


So, Twilight is premiering in this very second....I cannot imagine that. I didn't go to YouTube at all except reply to some of my comments. Well, one of my comments. Other than that, I absolutly avoided YouTube and other great website like MSN or Yahoo! or Google. I just go to my mail, answer some email (Mostly from Amirah) then closing the computer or reading some Fanfiction. This is only the first day and I already feel like I am dying. I have to keep this up for the next 3 weeks before I can go back to the normal life. Thank god, really, that I am working NOW. This is the first time I feel so helpless. Even Harry Potter has a WORLDWIDE premiere. I don't get it why TWILIGHT doesn't. I seriously don't.


Anyway, Job in KINO is fun. Tiring but fun. Better than working at Jenap's place. Although the pay is less. I am happy there. Friends there are great although they are young as always. No surprise. I was asked to trained as a receptionist. I tell you, it's alot of work. But it's fun picking up calls and transferring them to the different department. Ha! Then in the office somebody brought up TWILIGHT and I couldn't help myself and started claiming I am the biggest TWILIGHT fan here and would use my first pay to buy TWILIGHT stuff.


I would. Seriously. But firstly I have to put money for Twilight movie outing aside. Which I think will be about $200. Don't frown. I seldom get the opprtunity to splurg and after TWILIGHT, I don't know what else I am going to do. Probably nothing. So the rest of the money is safe. I just need to buy other Twilight stuff and one of the Harry Potter collector series. Don't frown again.



So, I still haven't heard from anyone about the outing and I am guessing that none of you wanna come with me soooo I made plans with my sister. (Don't worry Amirah, I planned for ours.)
We're seriously going to watch it in GOLD CLASS and if you guys wanna join, please please contact me.


Christine, BTW, can we postpone the BIRTHDAY thingy again? I will get my pay by end of this month but it comes as cheque so it will take around three days and I have to be sure I have enough cash, So it would be a great party...I was thinking could we postpone it after the 9th of december? Pretty please. Then you won't be disappointed. Tagged me ok? Let me know. Prepain is down...so email or tagged me. I will check and reply.



So as I was saying, I declared in the KINO office that I was the TWILIGHT fan. So the person in charge of the children books department stood up and looked at me (her name is AGNES). She asked me question that surprised me and made her impressed because I answered swiftly. I mean come on! It was TWILIGHT questions. So here was how it went:



Agnes: So you're a Twilight fan?
Me: Yeah. (Look Proud and Smug)
Agnes: So do we sell the twilight series in packages?
Me: Yes. Definitely.
Agnes: Do we sell the hard cover?
Me: Yes. Individually and in packages.
Agnes: And how much does the packages cost?
Me: $144.85
Everyone in the office (Including Agnes and myself because I was surprise I could remember): WHOA!


So....this just show that I am THE TWILIGHT Fan to beat. Seriously. Ok enough of being smug.


Hearts 4Ever,
Shilla.

Another Poster...another day made!


This is another poster of Twilight that I found in Dobhy Gaut (is that the way you spell it?), I was so happy because it was so huge and it was on ALL the four pillars....I was about to go crazy! People seriously thought I was going insane. I was standing in front of the four pillars for at least 10 mins each. I'm CRAZY.
So that really made my day.
Extremely. Totally bliss out.
Anyway, another thing, I got the job from KINOKUNIYA. Yes, I am selected and I hope I will be happy working there. I know I will be dead beat but with all the books that surrounds me, I think that would somehow balance it out. At least I will be close to all the TWILIGHT books....love love that idea! Especially...very near Robert Pattinson aka Edward Cullen photo.
So I will start tomorrow and I hope I do the job well. Not willing to screw up...so my future of cash flows....is secure. And I WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH TWILIGHT IN GOLD CLASS AND BE CONTENT WITH IT. Haiz, it is suppose to be just a few days later...and Twilight would be release in the States and Philippines. Thank god I am working. I will avoid all the mayhem in YouTube and ignore it all. So I would not be jealous.
Got a message from Ms. Queck...Told me about a Lit lecture tomorrow. People who are not working should go. I wish I could.
Anyway, Got to go. I will try to get more posters that are up and running and post it up and see my excitement grow!
God Bless,
Roshilla.
BTW...I have not heard from ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO WATCH THE MOVIE WITH ME!!!! Hello? Anyone coming?

Saturday, November 15, 2008

Just when I thought I gave up...

So that's the new trailer from Harry Potter! I cannot wait. I thought my love for it died down cause I have been caught in TWILIGHT mayhem....But it certainly was just hiding. I was jumping up and down with this trailer. I am so glad now! I can't wait for the movie...THOUGH, admittedly, not that excited because it's centuries away.

Ok...so I am exaggerating.

It's just a few months away. 8 months and 2 days away exactly.

Anyway, hoping to see all my friends soon. Miss them like crazy!

THE POSTERS ARE UP AND RUNNING!!!!!


So as all of you can see, The Twilight saga is FINALLY getting some life in Singapore! Although I am, honestly, not that happy because they still have not, under any circumstances, change the bloody damn date, I am contented that the posters are already up around our little island. I was dying out of impatience. This, by the way if you're curious, was taken at Kovan MRT station. I actually was sooooo shock to see it there. I wonder if I asked for the poster when the entertainment value have run off, they would give it to me? I bet not. I had exprience. Yup, that's right. I asked for the Harry Potter poster from MJ, they just scoffed me off as if I was retarded.
So, I have also checked some of our movie websites (Cathay and Golden Village) they have this particular movie in the 'Coming Soon' section!!! I seriously went ballistic. My sister was frightened. I can't wait for this movie to come out!!!! I am literally going to die once it comes out. Though I will be working on that day with Robinson. That's right, people, I got the job. But I don't know if I want to accept it...I am still waiting for Kinokuniya to accept me. I rather work for them. Seriously. Imagine me around all those BOOKS and their collection of Harry Potter and Twilight. I would be sooooooo happy. I really wish they call me soon. I only have until wednesday. At Ten. In the morning. Please let me have that job. The interview was fine. I don't know if she photocopied any of my certificate or not cause I was busy trying not to shake so much when she (The INTERVIEWEE) had me on a gift wrapped test. And she was so close. I was under so much pressure. But, all that considered, I did well wrapping the books. Well, at least it did not fall off or rip open.
Gosh! If I accept the job from this Robinson, I know I will be tired like hell. Work 6 days a week and only have 1 day rest. It's not even a weekend. And it only start on the 18th of dec! The premiere of Twilight. So I have to keep the current job I have now. A receptionist and Admin Asst that is not really needed. I hate my co-worker. Seriously. A complete whiner. Keeps on bitching about the boss. But I really can't blame her, the boss is not nice either. But I rather the boss than my co-worker. She thinks she's all great and exprienced. Ha! That sounds wrong but what the heck, who cares?
I have been doing a newsletter for this company and as much as I disagreed with Christine yesterday complaining about my current job being lame and boring and, surprisingly (because I sit all day), tiring, I enjoyed making the newsletter and am proud with the result. It looked nice....and it's all my HARDWORK for 2 hours. Not bad for a first-timer. Plus this would look good on my resume to NUS(Journalism), now I have a small taste of what it feels like to do an article. Absolutely amazing!
So....I end here. I am so glad that I saw this poster!!! TWILIGHT is really showing in Singapore! I can't wait. I promise myself that I will never buy the pirated disc that I know I will be tempted to buy once I know it is available.
Another downside though, I checked the gold class tickets...Damn. They raised it. After 9 years. Why couldn't it just be 10 years, where Twilight would already be a DVD? Whatever. I am still watching it there....just for the comfort and sastifaction of waiting and not being able to go on it's ACTUAL premier release which is on the 21st of November...which is 7 days away! All you who will get this luxury, just so you know, I HATE YOU.
So enjoy the poster and call me if you want to catch it with me....and you can't make it on the relase date in Singapore. I think I am going to watch it about 3,000,000 times. No excuses.
Email me if you want to have a TWILIGHT outing. I still haven't got any replies from any youtubber in Singapore. Damn.
This is the mail if you wanna go catch with me and have a TWILIGHT outing:
I know. Don't ask. I am obsessed. With Edward Cullen. And Robert Pattinson. I can't make up my mind. At least with Harry Potter, I know who I like and it's definitely Harry Potter and NOT Daniel Radcliffe. But with TWILIGHT....Robert is too damn fine to be ignore.
