hey durian lian!
no no i'm not in love, the only people i ADORE are the lians!
that song, haha
last sat went ecp with some of my colleagues
i was late and by the time i reached they were already returning their bikes
so we sat around by the beach and boyd brought his guitar
most of the songs he played were like... nt our generation
like hotel california and stuff
then he played this song and everyone sang along... and its damn sweet!
its rly fun singing along to a guitar, weird warm fuzzy feeling i cant describe
i used to nt utd the charm of that and now i do, thus that post
haha was too tired that day to elaborate
sry for any misunderstandings! :P
oh daniel's flying off tml!
haha it's funny how i used to think he's psychotic and super creepy
but after gettin to know him he's just a funny and super lame person!
oh and everyone agrees that the song suits him a lot - you say it best when you say nothing at all
haha coz he can look super cute at times, but once he speaks, *pop* there goes everything
that's why we prefer when he jus keeps quiet, which is so so rare
glad to have known you, my first (and most probably only) italian friend!
i still am nt very used to ur 'english' but its funny how you try to pronounce my name... at least you got it right the last time! (:
haha bon voyage and all the best ya? (though now u might already be on the plane or smthing, haha)
tml's my turn to give my farewell chocos and sweets! so sad!
tdy everyone was being super funny la, like all so stressed till nt very sane
hahaha
like stripes acting like a kid and jumping up and dwn, sunny blabbering off to me and claim to know my name after all the blabbering (which i bet he doesnt)
madness all ard the office!
last 2 days :'(

im off today! its a pretty nice change, actually. now that im getting quite skilled with Food Avoidance, its not so much of a headache deciding what to do with the lunch anymore. haha. shit. dont tell my mother. or my father, for that matter, haha.

aaaaanyhoo, i teared again that night at work. some bastards forgot to pay for their meal and just upped and left, so the aunty felt that it was hakim and my fault for not standing guard at the door and making sure that everyone who left had paid up.

she didnt outright say it, but My Favourite Aunty, who shall henceforth be called M.F.A, told me about what they were secretly saying at the back of the kitchen. and so hakim felt bad about it and suggested we pay up for the bastards.

so it was yours truly who approached the aunty with the money ($18.30, no cheap shit, mind you) and offered it to her. and she was like, "how long can you go on paying for the customers????? im not scolding you because..." blah blah blah, i forgot exactly what she said. but i started tearing immediately. and i mean, right away! i was biting my lip like hell trying to will the stubborn tears back to their ducts.

she told us to keep the money. after that everything was fine. i just cant take being scolded. in the end, they took money out of the Tip Box to pay for the unpaid-for-meal. stupid cheapskate assholes! and it was the second case that day too.

earlier on, it was the aunties' fault. but she didnt show a black face THEN, did she? oh NOOOOOO when the AUNTIES do something wrong, its normal! old already what! but when the newbies screw up, heaven help them. her face was SO bloody BLACK, in a dark room, she would have appeared headless.

i dont trust anyone else to wipe dry the cutlery after they've been washed. they dont do a nice clean job of it!! they always leave drops of water and when these drops dry, they leave little ugly water stains on the cutlery, which i LOATHE. so i always insist on drying the cutlery MYSELF.

geez. and what kind of supervisor advises you NOT to be 'too clean'???? she said i might grow up to be a fussy old woman next time. cleanliness and i are an item, alright? a couple, a duo, a pair, a partnership for life.

one of the regular customers came again! love her, she's ever so nice to me. she said i was very sweet! so touching. after that i was so motivated and inspired, i put on my best smile while serving everyone else. haha. see, even if you do lie to someone in her face, it changes her entire mood for the day.

i went to collect the a level cert yesterday. not something im particularly proud of.

i THINK i have decided.
support my choice k (:
i miss the lians!!

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing
CHORUS:
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Try as they may
They can never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine
*fen
<3 <3 <3
i think now i finally understand what it feels like (:

the cha soba SUCKS. damnit. and thats my lunch!!! (bought it frm ntuc btw) if i throw tt away, ill starve to death. watever, i ll jus TRY and make do with it.
even a meal can be so disppointing.

well well. people can be plain insensitive at times, tho it might be a slip of their tongues. the hurt that they cause to people might be little. yet be mindful that it is cumulative.

i still haven receive nus letter. oh hell. its rejection case. rather certain abt it. im still bitter tho i kind of expected it. ( after repeated reminders that i can forget abt getting in with a fail in gp. )
i so wan to wallow in self pity. wads infuriating is that, my mum's friend's son's girlfriend,whose grades were ccd D7, got offered a place in NUS computing. its like grossly unfair.its not that im dying to enter nus. the point is im not even qualified for entry at university level! a total rejection!! argh. im crying over spilt milk. how practical.

alright, let me look on the bright side. at least im wanted by ntu chem engin.

OH! i hope minnie can be back sooN! cos i wana see wad food she bought! haha. im so greedy. Also, we can go shopping! its GSS!

i made an appt at 4.30 to have a haircut. but i dun feel like stepping out of the house. wad a lazy bum i am. i still got to shop for presents. the party is tomo! gota hurry!

hmm..i was wondering wad give me confort when im down. it gota be food and music! haha.

i realised ive jus typed an extremely random entry. haha.

enough spoken! time to bathe!

~ bunbun ~

:) :) :)
yipee~ love love love my colleagues!
tdy we went to the suruna (?) indonesian restaurant for dinner!
it's supposed to serve the best indonesian food in town and no reservations
the queue was like friggin long coz' they couldnt find as many tables to accomodate all 20 of us
so we waited like 1.5hrs!
kym is so nice la.. keep calling me her 'little girl'
then we went shopping while others stood in the queue
hahaha
she told me lots of useful and meaningful things... frm like work to life to like clothes and even finding ur own style
made me think quite abit
we went kinno to look at books, ah i find the books on architecture rly interesting (damn)
she was like sayin she wants to spend one whole mth, take leave and shut herself up in her room and read books, to enrich herself or smthing
sounds like smthing i shld do since i have all these time to spare...
dinner was nt bad...
think the veg curry and fish were the nicest!
stacy kept putting food in my plate coz kym asked her to take gd care of her little girl
haha so i had fish (deboned) (:
so sweet of them hur
we swept clean almost $600++ worth of food under 2 hrs! amazing xia! ($95 of which was lime juice! :O one colleague was saying we shld have gone for beer, cheaper... haha)
lots of fun, laughter and photo-taking thru out
was super funny with boyd and his professional camera, boss with his digi cam and other pple w their hp cam
flash was like going off all the time and we had to like be super alert so that we wun be caught on film looking unglam eating
it's nice to meet such a nice bunch of pple!
i realise the most common qs which they like to ask is where i stay.. funny right...
hahaha
was daniel's farewell... he's going back to italy then to india for 3 yrs! :O
was funny how he was asking sanjeev for tips on how to survive in india and they were like drawing stuff out and explaining on a piece of paper while we queued!
i suddenly rem kym askin why all the fish we had on the table all look the same and stacy said they were all bros and sis
haha doesnt sound funny the way i type it but on the spot was hilarious
sanjeev said i'm like ultra anti-social! ok, i'll try and change!
i still like kymmm the best (:
ecp tml! yah-ness!
BUT first, i hafta drag myself to the nus pharm talk alone! i hope its rly only talks, no like 'activities' so not interested xia!
but nvm, i got my motivation! my kymmmm jie~ (:
*fen, off to bed now! long day ahead!

well bunbun, im going to the library today! let us both acquire more knowledge so that uni life will be a breeeeze and we shall graduate with first class honours! we totally have so much catching up to do after our A level results. i just get so embarrassed when people ask me bout my results. im like, oh shush, you probably did better than me so quit gloating.

anyway, im going to make monthly lenses after this.

im the first person my colleagues think of whenever something goes wrong! what kind of shit injustice is this!! she found this plastic disposable glove on top of the oven and immediately told ME that i shouldnt put it there when i didnt even touch the goddamned thing. it was PS who put it there after making the cones. but NOOOOO somehow everything that isnt in its place is always due to me me me. go ahead, blame the not-so-newbie-but-still-rather-new.

shes so damned unfair! but she can be nice sometimes. not to discriminate, but her english sucks and it makes andersens sound so...kopitiam. i mean, seriously, they cannot even speak a sentence in english to the customers. its all really broken.

now, for the record, i stress that i am NOT discriminating against people who speak broken english. everyone does, to some extent. but struggling to serve your customers without lapsing into a whole barrage of 'this one AH, very the nice leh' is quite a different matter altogether.

after working there, ive become a stickler for cleanliness. i woke up, made my bed, swept the kitchen and wiped the kitchen counter and dining table. then after lunch, i swept my room and the living room and cleaned the comp table. haha. im a sucker for cleanliness, actually.

i had a bit of coffee for lunch. yet another successful execution of The Plan :)

you know why i have so many days off this week? because there's this new girl!! she applied for the position of operator or something, but she has to know how the place is run first before taking up her place in the office, so she's here helping out. damn it! it's her fault im so free this week.

it feels bad to be -neglected-
even though you kinda expected it will happen
but still.
it feels bad to be -neglected-
maybe it's coz' i'm -evil evil evil-
hi, karma.
/edit:
damn funny
just now boss asked me to go to his car to help him get his phone
then when i was at the carpark opening the door, a lot of ppl stop and stare
they think i'm super rich to drive such a nice car
haha
this guy even watched in awe from his car beside, his jaw falling off, LOL
i so want my dream car now... lexus! (not the biscuit, bunbun!)
*fen

i found my beloved CATERPILLAR! Finally! *estatically elated* haha.

i ONLY, STRICTLY like cattiee from Four Leaves! [ tampines ROCKS! the rest of the bakeries stop selling! :( ]

in case u r wondering, im NOT refering to that gross slimy little green wormy creepy-crawlie which will morph into butterfly. haha.

the last time i ate it was J1 i guess. haha. i used to buy that after EVERY tution lesson! (sec 4 and j1) haha. ill be munching it durng lesson and my teacher wld sae "caterpillar again?!" haha. all my tuition friends think im stupidly caterpillar-crazy, cos it doesnt taste as tt special . haha. And they were utterly surprised when i told them im not a least bit sian eating tt every week. haha.

actually, caterpillar issnt THAT delicious. there is NOTHING inside.haha.no filling. (many asked me this too!) hmm..jus plain bread, in the shape of caterpillar, with some light honey coating on top of it. tts wad i like about it - the simplicity in the taste, how the gentle sweetness blends with the softness of the bread. Sometimes the nicest, most addictive food are the least elaborate ones.

haha. i was jus wondering if i shld visit the national lib like now. haha. my dad im getting more ignorant and hence stupid each day, and i better go my ass down to lib to enhance my knowledge. haha. okay. i decided to look up for non-fiction stuff like Essential vitamins. haha.

tata~ off!
bun

i thought i was going to cry yesterday after finding out my schedule for this week. i have THREE FULL DAYS OFF. this is terrible. terribly disappointing. friday's my only morning shift. oh bloody chocolate fondue. i have to 'eat' lunch at home. F.

anyway, guess who came to buy ice cream yesterday? terence, ashleigh and kelvin! haha. they came at a bad time though. i was washing the dishes and looking ugly and dishevelled. and then someone called me. boy was i surprised! haha.

there was this stupid darn customer yesterday who came with his family and said, 'so you all only clear the tables when customers come in?' and then passed a comment about our service. well EXCUSE ME, MISTER. we were halfway through clearing the table when YOU walked in and we had to entertain you! god. i so didnt want to serve them.

i find no meaning in my life. when it comes to meal times, i find ways and means of avoiding having to eat. i cant work after eating. it makes me feel fat walking around on a full stomach. i cant eat if i dont go to work, because then ill be at home, being sedentary the entire day and burning like a thousandth of a calorie an hour or something. so what is the point???? there IS no point. i just like to feel thin. it is a stupid, meaningless, superficial desire, whose reasons are unfathomable.

and i marvel at how customers can come in during the day and eat a whole goddamned dish of ice cream. not that its any of my business, of course. i mean, whatever cooks your turkey.

and despite me acknowledging that everything im doing to get thinner is just SO pointless, time-consuming and nerve-wrecking, i cant find the courage in myself to quit it. so thats just how my life is and will be until one day, i wake up to the realisation that there are more important things in life than simply wanting to be thin.

i bought a red bean pancake from jollibean yesterday and pondered very hard about whether to eat it or not. i was already forced to have lunch with my parents cuz it was a sunday and we always have lunch out on sunday, so i couldnt skip that. i took really really little nibbles of food, but those constituted calories too, so thats something to take into account.

i didnt eat the pancake in the end. i stuffed it away into my bag and thought maybe ill eat it when i get home. but my mom thought it was for her so she ate it instead. well, what a relief. i ate some food when i got home. and purged a little. so i wasnt TOTALLY foodless the whole day.

people reading this probably think im some kind of freak. im just glad the lians are still my best friends.

the lians have been meetin up everyday this weekend!
fri to town, sat to suntec, and ltr - CHINATOWN
setting off now! more when i come back (:
*fen, loving the lians (:

haaaah! i found the lyrics for Cha Shao Bao! Boss playing now! can Sing along nxt time! haha!

叉烧包谁爱吃刚才笼的叉烧包
谁爱吃刚才笼的叉烧包
还有那莲蓉包呀猪油包呀鱼翅包
豆沙包应有尽有广东包 假使你说你不爱吃广东包
还有各式各样的广东包 让我来告诉你有生煎馒头大肉包 小笼馒头菜肉包呀
*好朋友你到底爱吃那一样 你到底爱吃那一样那一样广东包呀上海包呀 广东包上海包呀广东包呀 有的人他们爱吃广东包有的人他们爱吃上海包
朋友呀到底爱吃广东包呀上海包 广东包呀上海包呀
我最爱吃是叉烧包*

god. i hate eating in the day. i hate working after eating. so the only time i eat something is when i come home from work at 11.30.

the aunty was offering me a little piece of freshly baked banana cake which had been overheated and so couldnt be sold. i didnt want to refuse food YET AGAIN from her, so i took it but then, gripped by fear and panic, hurriedly put it back down and said, bu yao, xie xie. they all know by now that im terrified of snacking anyway.

i came home and ate some banana cake. yeah it was gooood. especially after toasting it. it gets all warm and soft.

its so bloody unfair. theres this 25 year old malaysian girl who works there and shes really really really skinny but she eats all her meals. and she was telling me to eat rice and whatever cuz she thought i looked thin. (good. i was secretly overjoyed)

and im like, you also what. and she said that she ate A LOT but she's the kind of person we all love to hate. the kind who doesnt get fat no matter what because her damned thyroid gland is always in overdrive.

i hate her. she eats stuff and she doesnt get fat. the delivery guy asked me if my idol was stefanie sun. why, yes actually. but i didnt tell him that.

sometimes i feel a bit weak in the day, but really, whats one to do? drink coffee and hope the caffeine kicks in. i made the mistake of making myself a cappucino and i was bloody high the whole night. i dont like the feeling! it makes me feel fat and like ive consumed too much even though its one third a coffee cup.

i do wish my aunty colleagues would stop getting me to eat. if only all my fat were deposited ONLY in my bust and nowhere else. haha. that would be fantastic. you see these girls with stick arms and legs and i bet they dont even have to watch what they eat. some people are just born that lucky.

my plan, which i have mentioned in the previous post, has worked perfectly for 3 days now. i just hope that i'll be as lucky tml to pull it off again.

oh F. im off on friday.

Meet wong chau seng.

Hui Lin.

work ends in 10 days!
:'(
though i complain abt it every now and then! but i rly do like it here!
all the friendly ppl, nice envionment
i've grown so attached to the place, my com, my chair... :'(
she bu de! how how?
:'(
i will miss opening the office every morning, signing in to msn on the office com, talking online
the occasional smiles, good mornings and small talks
greetings as ppl walk in thru the door
picking up the phone and saying : good morning, tierra design
transferring the calls
going over to warzone
taking msgs
going to the pantry
arranging the lib books
/edit:
listening to them talk abt architectural stuff or just talk crap
running into ppl at the pantry
kym's madness and cuteness
hearing the phone rrrrrinnng~
hearing them over the intercom

SOBS
this is getting so emotional! :'(

i watched another episode of hello! miss today! i came especially early to work - 8am! jus to watch my kdrama! haha. wow. this is a rather effective motivation for me to be early for work! haha.

its rather fun to be a tourist, i realised. or rather ACT like one. haha. pretending to be curious abt everything and alw in awe and fascination. tho u might have a zillion and one encounters w it before. it requires skills u noe. not easy to act WELL. haha.

see the ominous cloud floating above me?
yes you do, don't deny it!
i am utterly suay.
my shoes broke on the way to work AGAIN. twice in less than one mth!
and do you know how embarassing it is to hop ard in clarke quay with one feet?
totally unglam!
my sup must think i break my shoes intentionally so that i can reach the office late or smthing
:(
hcl! my hair doesn't bi xie! see my series of bad luck!
on a totally separate note, how many stripped shirts can a guy own?
ok, considering the millions of permutations and combinations of the different coloured stripes and shirt, hortizontal/vertical/diagonal stripes, A LOT
but i mean, to be practical, how many stripped shirts can a guy have?
never enough, apparently!
it is, however, a good thing, only if you DO look good in them
if you are wearing a striped shirt and ppl often ask you when you are paying a visit to your home - the zoo, you know that it probably doesn't look good on you.
however, if it makes you look rly rly CUTE, that's a whole new story.
i mean that wouldn't need much elaboration right.
when you look cute, its eye candy! benefits you, benefits society!
haha. this is like pure senseless talk.
its work! it's driving me mad
*fen, off to call the rice cooker supplier...

Labels: madness at work

SHIT! im working nights the whole of this week!! that means i have to have lunch at home. that means my mother will be here watching what i eat. shit. shit. shit. this sucks. bu nevermind. i have a plan. foolproof it may not be, but its worth a shot.

why cant she put me at the 12-10 shift!!!!!!!!!! i cant possibly eat a proper lunch before 12 at home then. ah shitterbugger. I AM IN THE WORST OF MOODS. I DONT EVEN MIND WORKING FULL DAYS JUST AS LONG AS I DONT HAVE TO EAT AT HOME. JUST AS LONG AS I DONT HAVE TO EAT.

and i feel so fat staying at home and not up on my feet being active. i stopped 3 busstops before the interchange yesterday and walked to AMK hub. i hope there's time to do it today.

i cannot take being spoken harshly to. i actually started tearing a little yesterday after the supervisor sorta spoke not-nicely to me. i feel like such a ninny. why was i not blessed with thick, impenetrable skin?

she was like, No you cannot cut rockmelon like that blah blah blah in that rough voice of hers. WHATEVER man. look, i dont spend the bulk of my free time buying barrels of rockmelons to cut them up at home.

and she blamed ME for not asking the customer whether his order was complete when they missed out a black coffee. i circled 'black coffee' perfectly visibly!! its not MY FAULT your impaired vision failed to see it. how the fuck is it MY FAULT you didnt make the coffee?!

luckily soon after i felt the welling up of hot angry tears, the girl suggested i go and buy food to eat, which gave me an excuse to leave the kitchen to 'buy food'.

im not one who likes conflict so i artificially thickened my skin and pretended as if i was never affected at all and was all nice and smiley again. its not really putting on a fake exterior to conceal the vile within. i would rather everyone be at peace with one another, seeing as you cant work alone in the kitchen.

and its not fair how when she makes a mistake, OH! its PERFECTLY alright! everyone makes mistakes, dont they? i'm only human, after all! but NO, YOU are expected to do everything right. just the way IIIII want it to be done.

we bought an oven toaster yesterday. FINALLY. its been pretty long since the last one spoilt. i dont have the mood to blog. i am sulking at having to eat lunch (or not, if my plan works) later.

i think i will go to buy a nice body mist spray thingamajig so that i will smell pleasant and approachable to the customers.

HIYEEEEE my dearest honeybunch-es!!!!
hahaha, i just told mfen that her hair can bi4 xie2. LOL! Eh, fen, you can print a few of your pics for us so during the lunar 7th month can paste on the front doors. Works better than a talisman. LOL! ok ok, i'm joking here. You can stop sobbing. Hahaha!

i tink i'm ultra-nice on mothers day. I got my mom the roses and carnations boquet and all my aunts and grandma single stalk boquets too. Celebrated with the big big family at the east ocean restaurant on sat night then this morning, i treated the whole family to brunch at swensens. Total damage done is ultra big, but then nothing is too much for the pple you love.

Anyway, today, i hung out with my neighbours. Hahaha. quite fun, i'd say. They are primary kids. We baked cookies together and decorated them with pink icing and they gave their finished masterpieces to their mothers for mothers day. So sweet, right? Ha, then its just running, racing shuttle runs, riding our bicycles, play see-saw, basketball... We went to the gym and mess the whole place up. I felt darn guilty cos' i haf zero tolerance for people who don't respect the equipments meant for public use and and mess things up. But today, i played soccer in there la. Wth! Haha, then we went back home got some bread and feed the kois. Then this boy called yi-quan( you won't believe it, he told me to call him quan becos he tinks he's as hamsome as the quan oin hana-kimi. lol!) took my gun and stuff bread inside as bullets. When the fish comes, and you know how kois are, always opening their mouths for food. So he shot the bread into the koi's mouth. Damn mean rite? But we took turns with it. :x And when i told everyone wad i did during dinner, my little sister scolded me. (wah! even my parents laugh, but she rebuked me. what is the world coming to?!)

Anyway, i tink hanging around with kids is pretty fun. They are more innocent, simpler and easier to be around with. You don't feel any pressure when you're with them. You can be yourself. You can just shout, talk loudly, express your opinions freely, sing in the worst tune and laugh stupidly. Why is it that as we grow up, the people we meet seems to get more and more complicated?

I learnt about smth which i'd rather not know or rather, i wish pple ain't like that. Ok ok, ti shall only blog abt happy stuff here and my personal blog will reveal the emo side of me. Hahaha. After all, there can be loads of happy and unhappy stuff in one day. Like how today was a generally happy day except that sometimes some pple can be very disappointing. You don't want to believe that the person isn't too nice to you but when even little kids point some things out to you, tell you things that are blatantly there except that you refuse to accept them, and ask you why are you still so nice to that person, helping them hunt around for stuff, you know that some pple just ain't worth it. You shld just love pple like this a little less, spend a little less time on them.

Oh, and i need to go shopping la! I saw this damn nice green bomber kind of jacket at topshop but i didn't buy. And i couldn't stop thinking about it. Hahaha. I haf a shoping list now sia. Many things to buy. Hmmm, let me list them down here...

1) nike sneakers
2) pumps (i saw this pair of ultracute pumps at miss selfridge but alas, due to the absence of a bank card...)
3) A top with an edge (hahaha)
4) white hairband
5) Sling bag ( i saw a pretty nice one at NUM but the price EVEN NICER)
6) More clothes!
7) Even more clothes! lol!


And i'm considering the N65 as well as a new ipod and a new ipod hi-fi. The only problem is unlimited wants, limited resources. Hahaha!

We need one day to really from morning shop until night, not the after work 2 hrs kind, not shuang enough. Hahaha.


Ok, its going to be 3am now... But since i tomolo NO WORK, lol! can sleep until 5pm also can. Haha, ok, can't wait to see you girls again soon. <3 <3 <3



with much <3, minnie

as two of the lians already now - i cut my hair!!
and its like a disaster. now i know what huii means when she says her fringe is SHORT!
the hairdresser was obv in a rush
so she was like snip, snip, snip, done.
then i stupidly told her - but my hair looks the same.
that must have agitated her!
so she went SNIP, SNIP, SNIP!
by the time i wanted to stop her, the damage was already done.
hcl said i shld put my pic on the blog so that it can help to bi4 xie2
i think so too! with sucha horrible haircut, who wouldn't run away when they see me like 10m away!
***


dinner tdy was so-so
its funny how the same restaurant but at diff locations can differ so much in standards.
i rem the last time when we went to the outlet at the stadium, the crabs were like superb, leaving us all wanting for more and ordering like 50 man tous just to finish up all the gravy.
the one at ecp today was way below mediocre
the crab was pretty much tasteless and not very fresh. the gravy was, well, bland.
the only nice dishes were the cereal prawns which my cousin couldn't stop raving abt, and maybe the fried rice. chicken was bland, scallops nt fresh, yam thingy was nt bad too, you tiao average
the rest are nt rly worth mentioning
hahaha
i think we all so prefer the OTHER seafood joint there. (the one named after a flying elephant)
the view there was great however
pretty nightline by the sea, looking at planes taking off and landing
***


looking at how close my cousin and her elder bro is makes me so envious! i want an elder bro to teng2 me too!
though they like bicker all the time but they're still so sweet tog!
:)
oh it's irritating when ppl keep asking me, erm so what course are you taking?
i can only smile politely and say, i've not decided yet and hope they'd move on
it spoils my whole appetite when they starting broaching on that topic
though i know they're just being nice and showing concern, i rather not be reminded of that topic now.
yah, i'm escaping from the reality, i can see it myself too. how i wish someone cld just push me in the right direction, like just tell me : you SHOULD do that! someone whom i can trust and listen too!
(see when a nice elder bro comes in handy? *sigh*)
***


my bed beckons! there's work tomorrow!
i bought toffees and mints from marks & spencer for my colleagues! ain't i nice (:
hope it'll be as SWEEEEET a day tml at work~
*fen, hoping she'll have a sweet dream, finally, tonight, and not another nightmare.

UGHHHHHH. sometimes you just want to say, RESPECT ME, GOD DAMMIT!! to your supervisor who just goddamn gets on your fricking nerves with all her nagging and misunderstanding.

and she said I was a bit blur today!!!!! what the f hell man. how the hell am i supposed to know which table ordered the damned sundae when i wasnt the one who took the order?! and the stupid woman at table 5 kept looking at me carrying the sundae so NATURALLY i thought it was hers! what the f hell is wrong with just TELLING me which table?! for GODS' SAKE, is it too much to ask of you to even MUTTER a single-syllabled word???? like, "8"??????? of course i had to bite my lip and keep my cool and pretend that i wasnt affected so much as 1 percent by her comments. she's SO naggy.

"after preparing the waffle, clean the fondue tablllllllle" like, OKAY OKAY HOLD YOUR HORSES, FOR CHRISSAKES. WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, THE THOUSAND-ARMED MULTI-MULTI-MULTI-TASKER?????? THE WAFFLE PIECES ARE UNLIKELY TO GROW MOULD IN A SPACE OF 60 SECONDS.

"eh eh! table 7 is calling for you! aiyo! why today so blur!" im like, BLOODY HELL CANT YOU SEE MY BACK IS TURNED???? UNLIKE YOU, I DO NOT HAVE EYES SPROUTING ON THE BACK OF ME. CANT THEY FRICKING WAIT? THE EARTH WILL NOT STOP SPINNING IF I DONT ATTEND TO THEM IMMEDIATELY.

F it man. and i cant scowl or look grumpy (i.e. show my true feelings) otherwise she will think i cant take criticism or have poor attitude or some shit like that. so sometimes i just grin at her and pretend everything is alright. its better to avoid conflict than to go knocking on its door.

there's only one aunty i really like, and thats aunty kim. she's ever so nice. she doesnt get mad or agitated or anything. if we do something wrong, she'll patiently tell you to do it the right way. which is a whole lot more than i can say for certain people who, unfortunately for me, happen to be in charge.

and who are the idiots who say that service people in singapore are rude? well maybe you should check your own attitude first! some customers are the worst people to serve. FOR INSTANCE, young office workers who think that just because they've got their precious little credit cards, they're so damned rich and are excused from displaying any form of courtesy or politeness. and to think they're supposed to be EDUCATED. what freak education have you received, exactly? not any social skills, thats for sure.

there was this pig headed girl and her boyfriend who were sitting at a pretty small table and despite seeing that the fondue was big, heavy and a chore to carry on the tray with one hand, they didnt even bother to clear a space for me to put the fondue trays down.

has it ever occurred to your pig brains that the fondue set, made up of MATTER, TAKES UP SPACE AND HENCE YOUR CUTLERY CAN AFFORD TO BE MOVED TO THE SIDE??? instead the pig head continued yakking away on her phone and the pig duo just watched as i cleared a space and put the stuff down while holding the heavy tray with one hand. the two ought to be sent to an abbotoir.

im 50% grateful that i dont have to work tml. she'll probably be on duty. but then that means i have to eat proper meals with The Parents, which sucks. why cant they just let me eat what i want or how much i want? it's my body, goddammit. ah F of all Fs, im in a pissy mood today. shall go piss in my pants now.

oh sharks! i haven bought anything for mothers' day yet! (besides the cake) i so need to do some last minute shopping todae with the lians. lol.

what was the most EXCITING thing that happened in your office today?
i'm sure u can't beat mine!
a fire broke out in the bin outside the office
apparently some idiot threw paper into the cigarette bin
and a 2nd idiot threw his lit cigarette into the bin even though he saw paper
so *KABOOM*
fire!
there was lots of smoke
and lb can calmly walk in and tell me she wants a glass of water
i was like, now? when there is a FIRE u want to drink water?
she was like, to put out the fire.
and guess who she sent to do the job?
me!
so now i'm like recep-cum-fire fighter! wohoo~
what's nxt? catching thieves?
the smoke is so choking and its still lingering in the office!
on hindsight, there's no fire alarm in the entire building!
after the entire commotion, the computer guy suddenly started panicking
"WAH GOT FIRE AR? I SMELL SMOKE!"
...
the whole office just stared at him in silence.

have you guys meet my new DARLING?~

Hahha, I've been real busy, everyday, trying to tink of ways to ruin some kid's futures and putting my plans into actions. lol! Anyway, i watched spiderman the other day and i tink i have fallen in love! HAHAHA! Can you believe it? Minnie fell into the River Of Love, and no, not over mickey. lol!

Its Ta-Da.....

James Franco!!

You know, that guy who play Harry Osbourne in spiderman. Oh my god, he's so cuteeee. Did you see the way his eyes crinkles up when he laughs? And how he speaks? OMG! *hyperventilating! He's absolutely gorgeous! lol!

I'd gladly watch the movie again just to see him. Though i tink the movie makes him look better, but still..... *swoons

Hahaha! and tobey maguire trying to behave like a rake is well... totally CMI. Ha, ok, i'll not ruin the movie if you hadn't watch it.


And oh!! PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN is coming out on 24th may!! Maybe this time round we can finally get to watch it together. Unless.... unless....

I've a date with green goblin. Hahaha!

I'd totally forgotten about mother's day until i saw bunbunb (Wah, trying to act cute!) *pukes jking! LOL! entry. And zhibi lian or zi lian lian's slide show damn nice. But next time if can photoshop my face a bit, even better. Hahaha! I tink sha shld be the zi lian lian lo, there are like 10 pics of her just listening to a phone. Hahaha!

Ok, i need to go orh-orh liao. Tomolo damn hectic. And i'm darn worrried! I still haven't gotten any letter from any unis. Sigh!

The Chronicles Of The Ham Chi Peng

issnt it PRETTY! haha. $57.85. Luckily they hav 10% discount for nus student! (my sis bought her matrix card along!) so in the end, the price was around $51. and orders above $50 are entitled to a free delivery! haha. cool. I hope my mum , grandma, and aunts will be happy with my purchase! :)

opps. im running late! HOME SWEET HOME!

~~bunbun~~

-currently feeling hungry.-

holiest of all holy cows! im working 6 straight days next week. but none of them are 9-10, so thats a relief.

the supervisor aunty told me to remove my nail polish!! but its not like im touching the food with my bare hands or anything. people will NOT be contaminated by them! but thats okay, i realised that putting nail polish is useless when you're constantly washing your hands and removing them unconsciously anyway. haha.

im off today!! but its kinda like the calm before the storm. 6 days in a row! no no i like my job! staying at home makes me bored and suicidal. haha. im working from 9-6 tml and i am determined to learn to make the ice cream dishes!!

im working with the Sometimes Can Be Fierce Aunty (aunty see see) alone in the morning tml =S i shall reach earlier than her and study the how-to-make book diligently.

oh god my hands are getting rough and dry from all the washing. i bought a hand cream yesterday. mom is cooking mee rebus now. shit. i am really starting to hate eating all over again.

thank you oh mighty heavens for letting me off at 6 on mothers' day!! the other two part timers have to work till 10!! hahaha. aunty see see planned the schedule. i must express my gratitude through my work. haha.

today was daddy's b'day
had dinner at this hk cafe (again) at parkway
the atmosphere was ok, but i still prefer kim gary's where we went last time
the food at kg was also nicer i think, maybe i'm just biased :P
i got the rejection letter for my scholarship yest
u shld have seen the way the letter was written... totally out to kill
i wasn't expecting to get it in the first place
but after seeing the letter, i was totally crushed
i can't handle rejection well i guess
was just wondering if mr-nice-guy-who-went-for-the-interview-before-me got the scholarship
and GUESS WHAT!
i saw him at dhoby ghaut mrt today!
what a coincidence!!
too bad we didn't rly have a chance to talk
haha
the weekends are over, can you believe it?
i still feel as tired as before but work starts tml..
hope everyone has a nice week ahead! happy WORKING!

*fen
i'm sick of the sudden bouts of hot and coldness. the extreme mood swings of sweetness and sadness. but i'm recovering from it all. recovering from you.

OH how fortunate it was of I to have received the company of 3 of my best Lians yesterday at work! but WHERE was the fourth lian, pray tell? she was AWOL, thats what she was! evil little ham chi peng, how could you bear to disappoint a durian??? its okay, you were probably busy antagonising some poor kid. haha.

and bless the Lians' generous hearts for buying an expensive and not-really-worth-it piece of mango cheesecake! =D the aunties were really nice, they kept insisting that i eat some of the extra food that they had left. and she even gave me a sundae. but god forbid i should put any of that stuff in my mouth. its highly fattening and doused heavily with Guilt.

and oh my god, how can anyone order a milkshake or a thickshake????? they're made with 3-4 scoops of ICE CREAM and FULL CREAM MILK. i mean, THAT is simply disgusting. do you even want to know how many calories it contains? my guess is 500-600 +++++++++++++.

anyway, yesterday was a good day. it wasnt so tense and the aunties werent so high-strung. you do NOT want to step on the toes of a high strung aunty. haha. im working from 2-10 today.

the other day, this guy forgot to pay the bill and promptly got up and left. so the Aunties told me to chase after him! so run, i did, the air con blowing in my hair, my pace quickening with every step i took. haha. the guy wasnt running or anything, so i believed him when he said he genuinely forgot. but you should have seen the looks on the Aunties' faces when he got back. looks of disgust and wah-lau-eh. haha.

people!
help support my friend mandy!

http://easyflower.checkoutmypage.com/

flowers for mothers' day! flowers for all occasions! cheap and prettyy flowers - roses, carnations, sunflowers!
flowers for meeee (ps: i LOVE roses!)
hahahaha, yah just support ya?
(no, i don't earn commission from each sale. i'm just doing it coz' i'm sucha nice friend! (:)
*fen
bunbun: yes, they are REAL flowers. hahahahha

Hooray! its fri again!! wkends i love u! haha.finally i can take a break!

actually, im kind of like stuck in this dilemma whenever wkends arrive. as u know, i only have a short 2-day break. and after a week's work, i am already thoroughly exhausted. i would very much like to stay at home, relax, watch tv, listen to my music, laze around so that i can have enough rest. however, at the same time, i wana spend time with my friends (esp the lians!) , catch up with them, gossip/bitch around, do some window shopping etc too! the latter is indeed very tiring cos u have to run here and there and this is especially relevant to people who are alw late. Hahahaha. Very mentally draining to rush from one place to another u noe! erm. i think i do tt daily.haha. Tt is why i alw look SO DEAD. haha.

the problem obviously lies in me.haha. mus try to be early. haha. I WILL try la okayy. haha.


so when is the next outing for lians?? haha. i so need to go out and get a life. working is boring! Go visit durian's ice cream shop! haha.

oohhh! bunbun is not sleepy todae! haha. y? cos i drank a cup of tea. i only take tea or coffee once in a blue moon. and apparently the moon is blue todae! haha. not funny. lollol. i drank tea twice this week . wth. no. TWICE in 6months to be exact. and now i am having gastric pain! e WEAK STOMACH. not only do i need a defence system, now i also require a FUNCTIONAL stomach! oh no! my body is of no biological use now! haha.sounds weird. haha.

i had double breakfast todae(again!) ate sausage macmuffins! haha. it has been a LOOONg time since i last ate macs. to me, of all the fast food restaurants, mac has the nicest breakfast. by the way, i ONLY, STRICTLY, fancy mac's BREAKFAST meals. the rest just turn me off. haha. i got no idea why.

i keep eating snake at work! boss is having meeting now! haha. i bought HL milk again! haha. mayb i change my nick to milkgirl or sth. haha. sounds so crude, esp in hokkien. haha.

i hope the toilet would be just beside me, so i dun hav to run in and out all the time, incurring boss' displeasure. perhaps the chair can be a toilet bowl as well! we can eat shit pee work at ONE spot w/o moving! haha. so convenient!

bunbun better do some work now before she gets fired.

an yeong hi kaseyo ^.^

today doesnt seem like a better day
boss just asked me to keep the 30 umbrellas which are lined up along the corridor
i will look totally stupid doing that
a colleague is quitting
i feel bad, coz' i can't help but wonder if its coz' of me, which most probably is not, but still, i feel bad
off to keep umbrellas
more ltr, maybe.

/edit
i just finished keeping like 20 before i gave up
the construction workers nxt door were laughin at me
colleagues gave me weird looks like i have a fetish for keeping umbrellas
i feel like hanging a tag around my neck sayin : boss made me do it!
at least puppy eyes seemed grateful though i left his out
but still, URGH
no more umbrella-keeping ever!

Labels: madness at work

everyone seems to have lots of things to talk about regarding their jobs
that's nice :)
reading bunbun's entry only makes me hungrier
i was almost stranded in the office during lunch coz' the thunder and lightning was so bad and i was so spooked
and obv no nice soul would go out to get lunch for me
you shld have been there to see how glad i was when the rain finally stopped
the queue at delifrance is like shockingly long
i had to takeaway my pathetic stale seafood croissant back to the office
where boss has to (as always) scare me by suddenly appearing out of nowhere
and i have to deal with mood swings (grown men mind you)
i'm already running ard the office looking like a madwoman in 6cm heels
what else do you expect from me?
and you still have the nerve to smile at me and expect me to smile back after you just scolded me over the phone? ha ha ha.
i should really just bark back
i can't get fired twice right (:
oh i think i am retarded, i was struggling with the photocopy machine for like 15mins and no one offered help
*pouts*
and you expect me to help you search the office for double-sided tape? ho ho ho~
(stop looking at me with puppy eyes, even that is not gonna help)
tomorrow is going to be a better day!

Labels: madness at work

some people are just SO incredibly stuck up that they dont even bother to say 'thank you' when i bring them their orders. and she's bloody younger than me! than US, Lians. she was wearing some from-god-knows-where school uniform and eating with who i presume to be her elder sister and the BOTH of them were fricking unfriendly. i mean, WHAT! does it deign upon your royal majesties to open your golden traps to even so much as to THANK me for serving you? or maybe you're an ardent protester of the GST increase. which doesnt warrant an excuse, ANYWAY. whatever. i suppose i should be grateful they werent outright RUDE to me. unlike this bunch of deceptively nice-looking girls. this is how our conversation went

" Hi! Table for...??"
girl 1 looks at girl 3 (like she's afraid of speaking for fear the diamonds will drop out)
girl 3 speaks curtly to the floor, "3"
i roll my eyes (secretly) and turn to get the menus

and then girl 1 spills girl 3's water.

i rush to get the cloth and start cleaning up the mess the klutzes have made, and ask, in my reserved-for-customers-and-strangers sweet tone "are you wet? it's alright, i'll get some napkins for you"

girl 1: YAH. and THAT is what pissed me off the most!!! it was the kind of like she said "OF COURSE I'M FRIGGING WET, YOU NINCOMPOOP. WHAT ARE YOU, BLIND? AND EVEN IF YOU WERE BLIND, YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ANYWAY. NOW GET ME SOME PAPER TOWELS, YOU LOWLY SERVANT-GIRL."

me: oh screw you and your wet jeans! its not MY fault your friend is more clumsy than 10 hippos put together! which big fry do you think you are, huh? queen E?

i did not have the nerve (or the stupidity) to say that to her face though. i just smiled.

i learnt to make latte today! we can drink anything from the menu for free! heehee. and i also made the batter for the ice cream cones! the water and flour were poured into this 20-litre bucket and i stirred everything with a massive whisk till my arms ached! it was like doing some arm workout at the gym. plus, she kept adding more and more flour and it got more and more viscous so my arms ached more and more too. haha. i didnt know latte had so much milk! maybe i shall learn to make mocha tml =D

its a full day tml! 9.30-10.30. =O

the pau is back! haha. after a few days of mia! lol. i fell sick AGAIN.haha. whats new rite. i fall sick all the time, like some monthly assignment.sigh sigh. useless white blood cells! Someone pls donate yr immunity system to me!

OH. i eat ALOT. haha. i find myself scary sometimes, at how much i can gorge.haha. lets see.

today's breakfast was a glass of milk, one banana cake, one peng kueh (rice kueh, the pink triangular one), tau sa PAU (lol i rly live up to my name). Later at like 12, i felt hungry again. so i ate a slice of tiger roll! (from bengawan solo! super nice! yum yum.)
Lunch :i had one bIg bowl of dumpling noodle !! the auntie is so generous in giving the dumplings! 5 of them!haha. wow. its indeed VERY filling! i love tt stall!

yesterday's breakfast was a glass of milk(i cant live w/o milk! hee), 2 slices of bread with cheese. when i reached my office, my colleague gave me a packet of he bao fan! ( glutinious rice wrapped in lotus leaf.) which her mum made early this morn. haha. i tell you, one packet is just not enough. cos its too deliciousss!! then, as usual, i got hungry before lunch, so i ate another piece of bread. haha. think i got PAO FACE alr.lol. my lunch was ji si he fen aka shredded chicken hor fun! ohh.. the wantan stall in sci fac is nice! oh, in fact, i think sci has the tastiest food.haha. if anyone of u who happens to enter nus in the future, do rem to try the food there!! haha. feels like im doing some advertisement here.
then, i had glass jelly, pandan cake and HL milk for teabreak. muahhaha!

so tell me how can i not grow fat/how can i grow thin like that.haha. going to work is like gg on a eating spree. haha. only my fingers n and mouth are exercising. haha.sobs. its okay. at least they will be well tonned . LOL.

crap. im going to doze off in no time soon. bless me pls!

-the legacy of the PAU. -

i should go down on my knees and thank the good gods above that i now have a job, because if i stay at home for just another day with my parents, i cannot guarantee the state of my sanity, life or happiness. sometimes they just drive me SO mad!! and they can get to the point of hating each other, sometimes i feel that im the only reason thats keeping them together. thats probably a pretty nasty thing to say, but heck, thats how i see things. shit american idol is on!
