Get lost in this fantabulous background!
Yea, I'm proud of this baby :D Very pretty eh? : nod nod :
I guess for every template, there's the trademark flower and s.b.com thingy. :D From now on ;-)
Right, where did I last stop? Oh yes, corrent yan, my dad too says that I can take 67 all the way outside KAP. Not that long, just one hour ;-) And thank goodnes there weren't that many Little India-n people boarding the bus when the bus pass there on the first day. But the bus was blasting the blody air-con like crazy! And it's raining outside, causing a more cooler effect. Dang! I was freezing! Get off the bus, I tried to walk, really tried to walk to the restaurant there. I mean, I was like frozen. Brrrr,...! I reached there, change to the black uniform and waited for Sheena and the rest. But they were late. Each with their own reasons. Sheena's late cos her brother's late and it's raining and they're on the bike. Azlan's late cause he's well.. lost.. -_- The other two, Amirah and Hariani were stuck in Marsiling, trying to find a cab. That was like 10 minutes ago, and they were still looking for the bloody cab. Lol! Went down and I asked for the manager. He asked if if I was sure I was suppose to go there or not. Ding dong, am I in the correct place? Is the time correct?
Yes, I answered. "I think you should check with the office upstairs," he said. Stupid idiot! I really looked up! Lol! I went out and realised that KAP is also McDonalds' headquarters.. oooooo, now I know :D Azlan and Sheena came and we decided to wait for the other two (still searching for cab!) upstairs. We met another group of McDonald people. Apparantly, they are from different outlets and were there as a representative to join McCafe. WOW! And what were we doing there? I mean, we are already in GWC. Liza, Liza, we were there to train la, idiot. I tell you, I think my brain was in the fridge already. Tsk, tsk. Met Kee Tong, I saw him twice in GWC helping out at the expresso machine. He taught us the basic, history of arabica beans and sorts. Then, we got some hands-on practice making cappucino, mochacinno, hot chocolate and fluffly. Mochacino is the best, you can really taste the chocolate :D Hot chocolate not bad, but I felt like throwing up after that... eerrr...?? :D
So today, the second day, I brought my faithful jacket along for the ride. But dang! Get in, the air-con wasn't so strong and it was not raining. Bring for nothing, sheesh! Arrive there early cos it starts at 8:30am now, so met Sheena and another girl whose name I already forgot, haiz... Had breakfast, satisfied the tummy, waited for Amirah and Hariani and went up. Azlan couldn't make it cos he got bike practical.
Another issue: Why do the boys can get their license once the turn 18? And we have to wait for 21??? I don't care if it's car license or bike license, you all are getting your own ride already?! Nooooooooo faaairrrrrr, ya know??? -_- Grrr, bloody government! And to think that Dad's in the traffic police, didn't he ever voice out about my whining to get a car ASAP? ..... Guess not -_-
Right, we started off by doing the same drinks we did yesterday. After trying my own mochacino, ooo, tummy ache. I can never ever have milk early in the morning.. EVER! :( But tahan-tahan :D, we learn to do steamed milk. Then, latte and flat white. I agree that those 2 are very difficult, it's all about the art, Kee Tong says :D Hehehe And since we 4 have learn ice drinks and food over in GWC, we were allowed to leave the class. No more coming down to KAP! Hurray! :D And William allowed us to go home instead of coming down to work after that, yippy!
So me walked to the bus-stop with Sheena. Among the 3 girls, Sheena's most approcable. I mean, the other 2 girls are, but they were just not my type of friends that I considered hanging out with. Sheena too doesn't really like the other 2. And so does Azlan. Speaking of him, I pity him. He kena do closing, which is the night shift and cleaning up and etc, since day one. And he got bike practice in the morning after. He came to the first day at KAP looking so daze. And well, he's in a situation where he shared with Sheena,... and being girls,... she shared with me. And being me, I won't share with you. :D Hehehe, maybe soon, when it's all ok ;-) But whatever la, it's his decision, we can't really alter his perspective. Good luck to his decision, whatever it is.
And it's really funny how when I was just reaching home, it started to pour already. Chey! And I spend the last hour hogging the com, going throuhg all the message boards I always visit. Check out the CB (charmed-boards) Awards thread. Hehehe, it's like the Oscars/Grammy/and etc etc kind of award shows. Yea, got my own dress, lmao! And the ceremony had just started, coolios! 57 awards in total! Lol! Mat got nominated for the Drama King and the Bitchiest Member!! And he DID attend the red carpet, causing havoc,... literally.. :p
And besides surfing the net, I made a new template, as I earlier mention. New promos of the girls, which is considered RARE. ;-) But few people are already spreading this pretty pics,.. haiz.. despite what the owner of these images kindly said; you can make banners and wallpapers, but please wait until after the February sweeps if you want you put them on your own website. :) Thanks guys, it took me a long time to scan these, so I'll appreciate it if you guys wait :) So sweet, but some people... aiyoh... me no ah. It's a template background, for my own pleasure :D
Hungry already. I'm sick and tired of eating McDonalds for breaks every day. Grrr.... so I'm off to chase after those good food from the kitchen ..hehehe

Bloody git!
For the next two days, me and the other new Beanies (or so the Mccafe people call themselves, cos barista is taken by Starbucks...:/) will have to go off to King Albert Park for training. Have to reach there by 8am.
Where is KAP I asked.
Bukit Timah.
How am I gonna be in Bukit Timah by 8am? I'll probably be still asleep in Bedok by that time! Taking taxis will just simply waste my hongbaos I've receive in GWC McDonalds cos for working on the eve, 1st and 2nd day of CNY. Fun eh? Hehe, oh, I even got a personal hongbao from the manager himself! But aiyoh, he gave $4, the store gave us all $10. :p Early pay I guess :D
Now, back to the other issue here. I asked Amirah how to get there, she said she know and she'll go 'venture' out to make sure she got the right route... if only I have the time... haiz...
Wait, speaking of pay, I only got 25 bucks for the first 3 days I'm working day... hmph. Patience girl, you have not experience the full month ... yet. :D
Just had a chat with Fazilah in MSN, she seems to be enjoying the jc life at the moment; the mingling part, not the lecturing part ;) Ha! Oh well,.. we're left with 2 months now... :S THE day is coming soon....
Oh yea, heard that David went off to Aussie last night? Yea? Ah, well, gd luck to him!
And yes, I like to confirm with Adleen that my ezlink is paying adult fare. I thought the one 'beep' was from another person, but on the next ride, one 'beep' came from me card. And I paid $0.38. Gawd! Nonononono! I AM still a student! Don't make me feel like a working adult already!... Wait a minute...scratch that.
Don't make me feel like a working adult already!
What a world, eh? Makes you pay everything exactly.. Haiz...

Right, no much online hours to talk crap now.
Body was aching on Wed, leg was aching on Thurs, leg again aching today. Oh boy... and tomorrow there's work again. Phew!
But yea, I'm beginning to get 'bigger' roles in there now, they now put me in responsible for food and cold drinks, wheepie? Err.. yea, it's exciting.
I have not checked how much I got for the first 3 days already. Probably gonna be small, since it's only 3 days. Next pay check will be at the end of the month, huhuray ;-)
OK, got nothing to type at the moment. Tomorrow gotta punch in at 10, oh no! That means wake up early :o

So tired yesterday, no time to update.
Yea, I wanted to sleep until 7:30 today but I gotta do something in the net, this one included too.
Haiz, oh yea! Yihan visited me yesterday while I was practicing with the counter. Lol! Yea, I was expecting him, but still shocked leh. He smiled smiled like one idiot. It's a good thing he's alon, or not with Eugene *ahem ahem :p* Or else, both will start making havocs... about me! Argh! So yea, Yihan tried me and asked for an Iced Chocolate. After giving him his dirnk, I realised that I out too much ice in it. Oops.. hehe, at least he didn't came back and 'complain' about it. Wahahaha!
First day doing 7 hours, not bad, around 2-3, there will be more customers ordering their late lunch. The sandwiches will be finish and I had to stock them up. I don't like doing ths foccacias, but the triple decker is easy and simple. Yea! And, they don't consists of lettuce, many many lettuce. Eargh! Other than that, I tried to learn the expresso machine. Woah, very complicated. Lydia had to be tested on the machine since she too just learn it, but she very good what. Oh well. Yes. Me doing the expresso was terrible. Thank goodness the counter ain't that bad. I couldn't do Mac's counter cos there SOOO many things like promos and special order. Grrr. McCafe's counter is short and simple. Not much items and it's very accessible. Heeheh.
Oh, Azlan came to me when his shift came and asked me if I got my pay yet. I have not checked mine and Ikinda doubted we already get ours cos we only started out about 4 days before the 15th. He said he checked and got 38 bucks. Lol! Wth?! So little? Ah, must cheked mine also, but how do you tell? It's not like I remember my account cash. Hmm, but so little? Expected what, it's only 4 days. We'll get the full at the end of the month. Hurray!
But some of them will go to CPF,.. dang!

What a rainy day!
I got stuck in a small jam while on the way to CGH for my heart scan. Well, at this 4-way juction or whatever you call it, it's bloody flooded. Like, up to the tires high. And what more? All the traffic lights there was OUT. Completely, all of them. So that vehicles there just zoom in between other vehicles. And at that location, there were some construction going on, and they had those red and white big barriers around? Yea, well, those barriers were floating about in the middle of the road. I was distracted and watched in awe as one barrier came floating beside my window.
Weeiirrddd.
Luckily I got a bus driver who wheezes his way out of the jam. He just continued to press the accelerator and moved forward, fording other cars to stop and let him go. Wahahaha! And I happened to reach CGH 15 minutes earlier.
I wanted to burst out in giggles in the middle of the scan. It's kinda like an ultra-scan for pregnant women too, they used this joystick and wiped gell all around it? Yea, the coolness of the gel touched my skin and I sorta vibrated. Of tickleness. Lol, I was soo controling myself not to laugh. Thank goodness it was over as soon as it started.
I had made a promise (or a swore, whatever) that I will never eat Burger King's burger ever. Ever. But I couldn't resist another Mushroom Swiss... the reason I don't wanna eat BK anymore is because of that Mushroom Swiss,.. always gives me tummy ache. So I'm kinda expecting to get one soon... :/
Ah, tomorrow working. The first day I'll be starting 7 hours. How will it turn out? I hope for the best since I now know how to serve food and drinks altogether. Woohoo! And after that, I have to rush home so that I can meet Afir and bring him to 7-11. Supposed to bring him tonight but it's still raining. Haizz...
Lol, the peeps over at Charmed Singaporeans Thread are saying if they will come visits me at McCafe or not. Lol, and Sufyan, I meant it when I said I'll laughed at your hair first before asking for your order. :D Hehehee, nah, don't worry....... (Kekekee)
And.. if you're still wondering how I'm coping from yesterday's entry. Please don't try to ask me that. I'm cheery and bright and do not spoil it by bringin up that low-shit sucker!
That's it for now, sayonara! ;-)

I really like this template. So bear with me. And enjoy the new song, kinda suits the situation at the moment :)
What an ass!
Khairul's been a low, lazy, skinny and disgusting, loud-mouthed and bad influnce asshole! All day he just raised his voice as like nobody can't provoked him. Well NOBODY who got life will EVER provoked him. His no-life always provoked others. It's nearly magrib and he's still shouting commands at people. I'm just so damn glad we didn't invite him to come along to OUR family outing. He doesn't deserve to be a part of it. Never. He doesn't deserve the respect HE wants! No way. He can sit at his friends house and live there for all I care. I HATE YOU! You're such a faliure! You're a bad influnce to your own little brother who's already learning bad words from you. Hearing those words and finger action coming from a 7-yr-old REAAAALLLY breaks my heart. I couldn't help the bloody tears to come out. If you were to be such a bad egg in this family and for all I care, get out of this damn house! Don't go around commanding people as if YOU'RE the head! You're just a measly nasty 13-yr-old freako and already, you're starting to act like you're 31 who's just plain arrogant! Well whatever! I do not wanna communicate with you ever again! I'll never help you out when you're in trouble. No, you're the one who decided that you can handle by yourself, and go ahead! I don't bloody care anymore, so and rot somewhere, I won't EVEN bother!
You're a gone case and that's period. No more of your nonsense EVER AGAIN! Nothing can help you changed. Even the news of your uncle being behind bars did nothing to you, you still continued to create havoc outside with your 'FRIENDS'!
Well, whatever. You mean NOTHING to me anymore. Go somewhere and bloody rot there!

It's really weird when I'm in a conversation where it's regarding my job.
"Besok tak kejer?" "Tak, off. Tuesday then ader kejer."
Whatever happened to the free spirited Liza? Where she go? Actually, she .. wait, I don't want to turned into Lil talking to herself in third person... I didn't went anywhere, I just... got some things changed. I just got to get use to being.. different now :D
We as a family (excluding Khairul :)) with nenek and uncle went to ECP. Upon reaching there, it was not very windy, however, it was blazing hot. Lucky we found a bench under a nice shade. We heard the ice-cream ah pek calling and Dad, Afir and sis went to buy ice-cream for everyone. Then, the rest of us talk about something I didn't think they would like to talk about with me around. They were talking about my other uncle, the one who got himself in jail again for dealing with those bloody drugs. They don't talk about such bad stuffs around me when I was younger, I guess they knew how I can deal with it. So yea, my grandmother showed my Mom a letter from him. His handwriting was at first glance hard to tell so we couldn't really know what he was talking about, but the whole idea was obvious; He felt sorry, he regretted his actions and he's deeply sorry for whatever hard feelings he created for his loved ones.
Like what my Mom said, now he feels sorry? What did he felt when he carried those things around? What did he felt when his so-called friend(s) came to him and asked him to do a favour regarding drugs? Didn't he thought about his old mother already? Didn't he thought about all his nieces and nephews? Didn't he already feel sorry the very first time he got himself in trouble for drugs? Whatever happened when he was released for the first time? Did he even try to pray and really pray that he was sorry for his wrong deeds? I guess not cos he went back in for the second time. What about the second time he was released? He said himself he will pray for forgiveness (taubat) and never to deal in drugs again. He ate his words. Seriously, didn't he though about his aging mother already? She already advised him after his second time not to mingle around those bad companies of him. They knew that he is vulnerable. They were just toying with him, making use of him. Asking him to carry some packages to some other friends.
I know you won't read this, dear uncle, but from my heart and your other loved ones', you WILL listen carefully. You knew it's already wrong, yet you still agreed to hold those stuffs and transport them to another group of idiotic people. Oh, the very interesting (and sad) thing is that you even consumed some. Just because you were confused and didn't know what to do? Is your way out of trouble is to inject or eat or breathe, or whatever you do, into your body? Well maybe you got that the other way around. Getting involved in those gets yourself INTO trouble. And you think your friends are really there when you're down? Look at your first attempt, where were they? The second time? Now? I tell you where they are. They're at some warehouse, smoking their guts out on the damn drugs and laughing at you, declaring how stupid your are and how pathetic you so are. They're probably on their backs, coughing and laughing at the same time. EVERYONE told you not to do it again. Think of everyone else who cared about you. And you were confused? Why were you ever confused about drugs? Have you ever say no to it before?
Like what my grandmother said, "Setan masuk saje, dah, itula kejernya." I couldn't agree more.
Later, we had dinner at the new food center there. Then we went home.
Now, just wanna say to all of you who's reading this now. Never fall victim to drugs. They do nonsense and hurt to you, and not only JUST you, other people around you who supported you from the day you were born. Don't let something strange and weird break down your relationships with your loved ones. Don't let those funny white stuffs control your life. Don't be stupid.
I hope whatever happens to my uncle now, well, for the better, I just hope he's sentence will be lowered a bit. And I'm also hoping for things to get better after that. All we gotta do is pray and wishes for the best...
Oh, I added a new link to the blog list. Say hi to Diyanah. She's one of my Coralites friends. ;-)

Hectic, hectic, hectic.
Many many customers today.
Whaddaya expects? It's a weekend. But, oh well, it gives me the opportunity to remember the techniques and stuffs to make ice drinks. I think I'm getting a hand out of it. And furthermore! I finally learnt how to make and serve the sandwiches already! Yeay!
Ok, nothing much today, the usual. Went back with Mira to Orchard, then we parted. My legs are soo tired. I got a seat at the back of the double-decker bus and relax. Ahh,... then I realised the bus have not moved yet. Hmm,.. it's still right outside the bus-stop. Look around, we are stuck in a bloody jam. Wah,.. berderet la! It seems to be forever for the bus to even move an inch forward. Finally it went off forward. I saw many group of people crowdin around some entertainers in front of Ngee Ann City, after that, it was smooth ride.. Hmm.. got a feeling that many cars slowed down at that area just to take a look at what's going on, which, leads to the jam. -_-
Felt asleep in the bus, I feel so peaceful. Lacked of sleep. Thank goodness tomorrow no work :D Going out with family to East Coast Park for jalan-jalan and big makan-makan :D Yea! Oh, I just realised that ECP got their own McCafe. If only I knew there was, I wouldn't have to travel that far. Haiz...
Bloody insects! Yes, again! Some big flying beetle fell in love with my curtain and refused to fly away. Me and sis were practically shrieking like hell when we tried to baseball-bat it out into the window. But no, it flied back onto the curtain. So we hatched up a plan, I hold the curtain straight and sis will trapped the beetle in a small box. From then, we were stuck. We didn't know how to release it. -_- So we just keep spraying Shieldtox into a small opening. Then it was it. I took the end of the curtain, with the box out and let it go. Within seconds of letting go, we left my room, screaming all the way out. We didn't even know if the beetle was chasing us or whatever, we just .. ran. O_O Lol, found out that the beetle was still stuck to the end of the curtain which was out of the window. So we spray spray spray till it's gone. We left the room, before closing the window. I tell you if I see one more bug, I'll declare the day Shieldtox day!
Right, on to happier stuff, me and sis presented to Mom out bday gift to her. Wow, she was really expecting a cake cos we went to Parkway twice, remember? Oh, nevermind.. yea, last year, we went to Parkway twice, and came back with a big ice-cream cake. Yea, lol, I guess it's really a surprise then :D And she liked the top! Yay!
Happy birthday Mammy! :D:D Hope you'll stay longer and remain fit and healthy! We all love you! :D:D
I guess tomorrow we all have a nice belated dinner :D

Same ol' thing. Wake up early, rushed to get the bus. Surprisingly, I found myself early at work, about half an hour. So I just report and Simon send me to take charge of the hashbrowns section. Then got one incident where this ang moh guy is very impatience. Please la, the lady behind the counter is an old lady who can't speak English well. She also happens to be my trainer at the moment. He wants coffee with milk, then go to Cafe and ask for one, Mc don't do that at the moment, but aiyoh, he thinks his head so big ah? Sheesh!
Took a break. Then I realised something, I have to eat McDonald's food everytime I ask for break? No bloody way! But I just enjoyed the nuggets at the moment. Then off to work!
I sucked at handling fries.
The damn fries kotak keep sliding off that handle or whatever and the fries came falling down back to the corner, so do again, useless. Luckily Simon put me back to Cafe. Hooray! And I managed to serve customers again. Hehehe, hoo-hooray again! But most of the time, dishes la. Chey. Soon enough, it's 3pm. William wanted to see me out at the lobby first before I go. Then the other 3 girls, who came at around 2pm, also joined me. Yani, Mira and Sheena. William wanna discussed with us our schedules and sorts. I asked him about the break and the food. He said he'll bend the rules and policy a bit for us to bring home food there and eat. But must clear of any evidence! His face may be strict-looking, but he's really nice, when he smile, we felt comfortable. Yay :D He reminded us about the rules and sorts and everything when I realised it was nearly 5pm. Damn! I was supposed to meet my sis at Parkway again. Oh well, I have a gut feeling that that big sis of mine forgot about it too.
Changed and called her, asked her to bring Afir along as well. Waited at Parkway at 6pm for 20 minutes. Damn woman. I saw her walking towards me alone. No sign of Afir. She was smiling and laughing to herself.. huh? She sat down next to me and said, "I forgot something."
"What?"
"I forgot about Afir."
The first thing that went to my head was that she left him behind in Bedok somewhere when she bought the shuttle bus. I felt like slapping her upside down all of a sudden. Then I realised she left the house without Afir. I mean.. just left.. when I've earlier persuaded Afir to come with us and everything. How can a bloody sister forgot about her own bloody brother?! Man, I was so stunned liao. Shocked, very very much. Grrrr,.. called home and Khairul picked up. Said that Afir's busy playing PS from just now. -_- Kids.
So we went to buy Mom's bday pressie. A nice yellow top. Perfect. We went to the food center outside to eat, when we saw this nice-looking dark yellow top at only $13. Major difference from $29. -_- Oh well.
Then we went home, felt asleep in the bus cos of the nice dinner. Wah,.. felt so good to have real food in my tummy :D
--
Bloody bugs! Cockroaches! IN the bloody house! Thank goodness there's only 2! Yea, Dad cleaned it up with a tissue and started haunting everyone else with it. All of us ran to the room; sis, Afir and Mom went to my room and locked the door while me and Khairul were in his room. Dad kept knocking on the door, saying it's Santa Claus. LMAO! After awhile, after Dad went off to work, sis spotted another one on top of my door's curtain. Look at those disgusting feelers! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Everyone started to attack it at one go with Shieldtox (we've got lots and lots of Shieldtox, don't ask why). It felt to the ground and scrambled off behind a table, and never came out. ~_--
How am I gonna have a peaceful sleep tonight with one MIA cockroach? Which I should tell myself that it SHOULD be dead, judging by the amount of strenght and time we pressed the bottles of Shieldtox at it. :/ And to think I got work again tomorrow. Ah, I feel so sleepy.. but I kinda wanna watched Extreme Makeonver tonight,.. dunno.. there's something funny about it....??
Oh, Coralites! Come down to around in Ngee Ann City/Taka there tomorrow at around 6-9pm to see Dharni (Dharni from sec 4e3, yes, that's the one) beat boxing, otherwise now known as busking. Yesh, yesh. Come down and support!

Ah, 10 in the morning must report. I managed to log on and check the SBS website to find out about one service number, 16. Apparantly, all the shuttle buses going to GWC starts at 1030. -_- Luckily, I found out that 16 just drops outside GWC :D
So early in the morning, I decided to go off first to go to Bedok's Mac and have breakfast (I'm sick and tired of maggi mees already -_-). Theyhave 3 new meals, all have bagels with them. I tried the Spanish Omelette, reasons include that it sounds cool :D But when I took it out of the wrapper, the bagel was still *slimy* with oil, ok, not that slimy, but not like other burgers. And in between are a chicken patty, cheese and an omelette. Something smelt funny. I checked that the omelette has green capsicum (??) and onions/cabbage (I think it's onion) inside it. Eeew! I can never have veggie for breakfast, nah-ah! But no choice, I can't survive 4 hours with just a hashbrown. So eat it, picking at my food to push those veggies away. I tell you, after that meal, my tummy started to argue with me, pushing around slowly inside. Aaaa, I feel so tired then already. -_-
Went off early to the train, so I expected to be at GWC early. But when I reached Somerset to get the bus, I have to wait for half and hour for the next bus to come. The bloody board at the bus stop says time interval is 7-10 minutes. Bugger! Rushed to the toilet to change clothes. When I came out, I saw Sheena, one of the 2 girls who accompanied me to get the injection. She's with another girl, whom I've not met yet. Mira's the name and she's cool. Easy to talk with already in the beginning, funny girl. Lol! So we went out together to the main store and went off to look for Yani, one of the managers. She and Simon are busy, entertaining one big group of people in McCafe who obviously look like VIPs or guest cos surely, I've never seen that many people come to a cafe that early.. :/ I found out that they are principals from all over the island out in an outing. To McCafe. Immediately I tried to see if that Ang Ju Lang ( my former prinicpal if you're asking) is among the crowds. Phew! :D
So the managers were taking groups by groups to inside the cafe and then to Mac for a tour. I was minding my own business when a tamil guy came up to me and ask me how I enjoyed the wokr here. So we had a nice conversation and asked me where's my school, what I like about the job, what's my favourite and how I can advise him on how to make the students in his school happy like how the managers keep his employees happy. Errr... what I do? As per normal, I talked rubbish. Luckily he called for Sue, another tamil girl, a senior there and talked with her for a moment. Soon enough, it was bye-bye! Hehehe! All of them commented that the cappucinos and lattes are awesome. They said it's very good ;) So remember next time come down here ah? Hehehe!
Then Simon called for the new beanies. Only 4 of us at the moment. He said that we are officially hired and all those usual admins stuffs. Later, Yani appointed me, Mira and Sheena to McDonalds. They did the counter, I did the lobby. Which means, I got to go around in the front there and clean up. From trays to mopping to tying up the full trash bins. It was tiring, going back and forth but it was all good. I just hope I got to do counter or the fries tomorrow. :D And how time flies, it's 2pm already. We can leave but Yani asked me to change and meet her again. So meet her, she talked to me about the policies of the Mc and cafe and how I get my pay like when and sorts. The other two girls were waiting for me while we were talking. Soon enough, we three went off to Orchard and parted there.
I got a chat with Fira on the phone. She said that she got her 4-day off already and is asking me to make sure I got mine. Dad still haven't confirm if we got that Cisco van already. I realllllly wanna go, it's been so long since I've been to the kampung. I reallll y hope I get my leave and that bloody van. Or, I can persuade (aka force) my Dad to take the Singapore-Malacca bus. As long as we're going there. Period. We are going there. We must go there. Ahhh! I realllly hope!
Ah, I'm off to Parkway now. Later!

Yea!
Work yesterday was fun! It really was! LOL!
Right, first of all, I was waiting like a dork in front of City Hall, for the shuttle bus to GWC. For half an hour, it never came. And it's starting to rain already. It was already 1145 already and I'm supposed to be there by noon. So I took a cab. Thank god again that my parents gave me money again! But I feel kinda guilty for using that 5 bucks for a short ride. Sniff, sniff. Anyway, I rushed to the toilet to change clothes. I must make a mental note to come with the uniform, it's not that bad, really, very nice and comfy :D They saw me walk past and waved at me. Being the second day, it feels good that they are accepting you to the crew and everything, I feel damn glad :D I waved at the Mcdonalds people too as I went inside to put my bag.
Since I've still not yet get my injection for Thyfrord..?? It's like tai-frod. Errr, right, so I had to be stuck to the dishes. Man, my hands are red and wet. Around 1pm, more and more customers came in. You won't believe how many cups and plates I've already washed! And had to carry the trays of mugs and plates into the dishwasher. Taking them out was painful cos the steam's hot and the water on the tray is like almost boiling, it's a miracle my hands aren't burnt yet. :/ And yea, believe it or not, I did the dishes for 2 hours straight. Straight! The others pitied me (:p) sticking to the same duty for so long, they did the dishes for me. Awww, :D
So finally, with McDonalds' money, Hui Wen, the senior there brought me and another 2 malay girls who came to work for the first time on Monday too, but in the morning. Hmmm, we went up to the tower to level 9 to the private clinic. She said that it's painful and you can get fever. Me and injections are never soulmates. EVA! My ultimate dislikes of all, and knowing that it's gonna be painful doesn't help lighten up my mood. They called for us and we went in. The doc asked us questions then... poke! And leave. That's it. Just a poke, needle's out, plaster and wait outside. I was reeeeaaaallly half-expecting a long syringe with light purple-coloured liquid inside and a very long needle. They will poke inside and be left there until the liquid is in. Thank goodness that's not the scenario! It was the total opposite! It's only a bloody tiny syringe, with nice transparent liquid. But once the needle was out, then you can feel the pain in your muscles. The other 2 girls said that their arms went numb immediately and feels like semut-semut. Mine? Errr... nothing. No numbness or whatsoever. I'm so weird.
So immediately, I can start to train to do those ice blended drinks. THe other two girls, though they're supposed to be in McCafe, they are to train doing counter in McDonalds. Lucky me I didn't get to do that. :D So yea, Hui Wen taught me how to do frappes, iced drinks and smoothies. It was easy, but you have to clearly remember how many mls of base and syrup you gotta put it and what's come after next. Altogether, I did 7 drinks, but no one wants any and so, had to throw them, since it's basically just training. Sad that the drinks are wasted, but then again McDonalds are paying. :) Drinks I made are good :D Some of them tasted bits and commented on it. And then, it's the real thing. A customer ordered one of the iced drinks and I had to do it all by myself. Not just one, but 2 drinks. Thankfully, they are up to expectations ;)
It was a relief to stay away from the sink for once. And I did well, according to the seniors. Throughout the day, we had laughs, jokes, teasing and interacting with the customers. Most of them are ang-mohs. One time, there's on group that had a woman laughing her guts out for half an hour. She was terbahak-bahak like a steroid hyena! LMAO!
And then it's finally 4pm. I got to escaped first before the people from the headquarters can come down to inspect the cafe. Phew! Don't wanna feel pressurised :D And I forgot to bring those bloody IC-size photos. I knew I forgot something when I left home, but ah, shrugs. Luckily the manager, whom I earlier served her one of my drinks was in a good, laughing mood. Hehe.
Going home, I was stuck in Chinatown. Where did that happened? Well, the shuttle bus I'm in didn't went to City Hall, it went to Chinatown instead. I knew there's the NEL there, but leceh la! There's one bus that goes straight to Bedok and I was walking around searching for the bus stop. Found it, but feeling hungry. Since I did not want to use my allowance yet, I bought a measly Fruitips. Kesian eh? Lol! Nah ;) Then I felt my whole left arm swell. The are where the needle poke in, yea, it begin to swell. My entire arm feels light and hard to move. Reached home, it feels that something is inside my arm, beating. Eeeee! It was terrible. Weird la.
Today's off. Hehehe. Tomorrow gotta start early in the morning. I'm glad today no work, my feets are tired from not sitting down for 4 hours. Haiz... Oh, I found out that Yihan quitted CI and joined Jap school. $440 per term! Whistles, oooo! Well, good for him, he's been wanting to learn jap since sec 4 :D And Eugene's already enjoying his CI life, though he kept telling me before that it's gonna suck. Eat your heart out Eugene! Lol! K/d, enjoy the 3 months. I think I'm gonna enjoy mine :D

Won't be online very much. Cos I'm working. Believe it or not, I actually went to work yesterday.
Not bad, but they failed to mention to me to bring along black shoes and black socks. What they want me to do now? They won't let me enter or even start work unless I have those cos of safety results or something. Bah. So they asked me to go Bata nearby and buy. Bugger! Nah, I wasn't pissed or something, kinda hilarious. :/ It's so fortunate of me to have more than $30 yesterday or else I have to go home. -_- And Dad gimme that $30 for my allowance, not shoes. Dang! So after awhile, came back to see that manager. Went inside and I met Azlan. He's my partner in crime. LMAO! He's also waiting for his Os and was at first positive he didn't get the job. We got our uniform and changed, then we realise it's only the two of us. Wow, out of many many applications, only 2? Err.. very unlikely, but shrugs. We were supposed to start work at 4:30, but cos I gotta but shoes, then change clothes, we start at 5. For new beanies (hehe), the first week, we got to try out for 4 hours first. So we'l end at 9 then.
We met Kathleen, or Kat, there. She's kinda like the shift leader, but not the shift leader, she's after the shift leader. Ah, if you understand, you're lucky. Right, she brought us everywhere in McDonalds and McCafe, telling us what's this and what's that. Then I realised that we need to get an injection before we can start touching or selling foods. Thyroid or something? Whatever la, but injection is one thing I don't like. Dang! So yea, cos both of us didn't get our injection yet, we end up doing the lobby. Or the eating area if you wanna call that. Azlan did the easier work, damn you! Lol, he went to do the dishes while I'm out there already wiping the tables and arranging the chairs. Then Heryati came and now we are the threesome! Don't get the wrong idea, hor. ;) All of us clicked at the moment, that's a good thing. We've already got laughs and started talking already. Yati is in poly, LaSelle, and is just basically looking for work. Hm. She had her injection already but didn't bring her cerfiticate, but Kat says doesn't matter, she can start handling the foods already.
So good, cos really, wiping the tables and picking up the trays and cups and others can be boring if you're doing it over and over again. But it was all fun! Really, cos I got to dump it into Azlan! Or rather, the sink, hehehe. Even though there's little we both did, we learnt alot. Like the spray bottle for wiping the tables and chairs is a sanitising water and Kat showed us how to make some. We got to wash our hands behind McDonalds every time we come to work. We learnt where the dishes and teaspoons all went. Hehe, was fun throwing them inside those boxes. And we went to the dumpster! Lol! I wasn't too excited over the smell, but it was a nice trip to the basement :p Oh! The pots of plants in the lobby too need cleaning from the sanitising water; their leaves need to be cleaned. Like yea, I was stuck doing the leaves. Lol, but I can't reached the higher leaves, haha, so I went to Azlan and told him to go and to the remaining leaves while I do the dishes. Hehehe.
Then we met the management crew. Simon, William, Annie, Vincent and I forgot the rest. Oops. Ah, oh well, so we contiued to do our work while the team there went around Mac and cafe checking things out. It was already 9 and Azlan was still enjoying doing his dishes and he refused to believe it's bloody 9pm already. Crazy! LMAO! We sat with William first before we left. He's the schedule master, or something like that :p We told him the times we can do on each day and which two days are off. I told him about my now 4-day off for the end of the month. He said it's alright, by tomorrow, I can write my request in the Beanies Request Book, so cute!
Oh, did I mention that from 7-8, we three were stuck watching Mcdonalds tape. It feels like brainwashing you know. I was looking at something else while the other two did something, lol. But we soon watch it la, but feeling sleepy already. I didn't think I'll be feeling excited mopping the floor again after the tape was over :p
Me and Yati changed while Azlan went off. The shuttle bus to City Hall is no more already and we waited for the one going to Orchard. There, Azlan came by, haven't changed. It was around 9:40pm already and I told him the next bus is about 10. He wanted to go to the toilet to changed but I teased him that it's not for sure and he thought of it again. LMAO! So what did he do? He went behind, look there's no people and it's kinda dark and change his shirt. He didn't even thought about the security cameras! Idiot! Ha! Then we met Yati's guy, Remy. They went off together, on a bike I think. So it's just me and Azlan. We talked about how this Eddie, another crew leader or something kinda 'scolded' Azlan for wiping the table and cloth using the same cloth. He said that if there's a bird shit on the table and wipe it and use the same cloth to wipe the chair, would the people sit? First of all, it's VERY unlikely that birds will come into the building and start shitting. But actually, Eddie's quite nice la, maybe he was like that cos the bigger rank people are around, shrugs.
Bus came, took it, got off, and we said bye-bye. I walked down to another bus stop to take 7. Lucky it's the double decker one. Fira called me asking me it's the 31 of Jan that we're leaving not CNY. Yup, yup. Was feeling tired in the legs and sleepy but Mom called next, asking me what time I'll be back. Blah, blah, then I told her to cook for me mee maggi, cos I'm about to get off. Hehe, I rushed back home to find the noodles still warm. Yea! And then it's the usual stuff. eat, watch tv for awhile then bam! Sleep.
Today's work start at 12 to 4. I'll leave home around 10:45 or earlier. I'm still wondering if I should change clothes there or just come with the uniform. Hmmm, maybe later I know. Right now, I', just finishing this up and then go bath. Yes, I got up early just to get his done so I won't be so occupied later. So I guess see ya around! ;-)

What a day. Or what a week.
Hectic? Nah. Shocking, tell me about it. Besides about my shocking part, there's also some other shocking news. One of my uncles is back into his old and disgusting habit again. He went back to drugs. How many times did he went into the rehab or perhaps prison already? Lost count already. Seriously, lost count, he's been in and out several times. Said he won't do it again, look what happened now? Poor grandmother... having to put up with that for such a long time...
We're planning to take her to Changi beach, you know.. to enjoy the breeze, and take her away from the house. She's been lonely ever since they took him away. My other uncles living with her are out; one with their families, one finding a job and one, just out there. I feel so sad for this to happen. My grandmother is such a strong woman, always giving me tips and advises whenever we visit her. It's unfortunate that such things are happening.
And now it's raining, possibly cancelling the outing and just go and visit her. It has been a rough week. I just hope that things will go back to normal.
Now, no more talks about bad stuffs anymore. : nod : On a lighter note, today's the day sis will get her bursary. She was panicking during madrasah, asking me that she gotta go. Woman! How many times must I tell you that Mom will go there and register her. But she won't stop looking at her watch. Sheesh! When there, met parents, then follow them to have breakfast while sis waits in CC. The mee soto I had.. the gravy was so thick with rempah.. it's obvious they use a packet one, not made their own one. But it's alright. ;)
Now I just wish the rain will stop and the sun will come up. Dang, can't believe I said that. Right, will brb, now making my chicken rempah recipe :D

Hello again peeps ;) Made myself a new template, Rose all over ;) And there's also a song where she sang bits.. alright, so you can hear her very well in this song. She sounds great in it. Enjoy!
The lack of sleep last night has catch up on me; I was feeling very light-headed during religious session. My eyes were getting tired and sorts. Got back home and pop, or rather, drink myself a panadol. And it's all better. I just hope I'll get to sleep peacefully tonight, I ain't gonna worry about anything else.
Yup, no more worrying. So what with McCafe won't allow me to get a sudden leave so immediately? Heck, the trip is not even confirm, I'm just telling them so that I can 'book' those dates. There's still other jobs out there that can occupy my time for the next few months. I ain't gonna worry, I'll grow wrinkles very fast.. *shiver* Eargh!
Tomorrow, madrasah... cannot come there late anymore cos the masjid finally has the idea to put the students in detention or whatsoever I don't care if you're late. Hmmm, sure takes them a lot of time to finally realise that's a problem. Ever since I started going to the madrasah, I've been coming late, and no detentions. Very surprised they put up that scheme. Or, whatever then, I just have to make sure I'll come early then, ain't that bad ;)
I gotta call the people at McCafe again cos apparantly, they do not have my working schedule, when last night, they were asking me to work on Monday, what the hell? Whatever la, call, call la.
Right, I'm not sure if you can really tell that I'm just not in the mood at the moment,.. don't know.. I'm feeling... low and.. depressed,... kinda. Nah, maybe it's the headache. A nice 8-hour long nap ;) will calm me down. Yup, yup :D
Speaking of sleeping, I wanna hit the sack now. I'll see ya all later aye? Toodles!

My mind was so buzzing with things that I can't get a good night sleep. With the occasional dozing off, I will start t osir up and feel awake, but eyes shut, ya know? And I realised it was still 2am in the morning.
Why? Cos I practically got the shock of me life. It was around 10:30pm, watching Extreme Makeover by accident, then getting 'hook' on it for a moment when I got a call from my handphone. I did not recognise the number but what the heck, the person's calling me at night. Then I found out that it's from GWC McCafe, and they asked for me. Then they asked if I can start work on Monday. BANG! My heart started to race very fast. What should I do? What should I do? I thought. Cos surely, if I take the job now, I can exactly take a 3 day leave immediately for my 3-day Hari Raya Haji trip right? I mean, it seems weird and unappropriate for someone to suddenly take a long leave when you're just starting out on your very first job? Who would have thought that your very first interview lands you your very first job? How many times does that happens to everyone on planet Earth? Duh, I was half-expecting that the interview didn't go very well and I'll start searching again, but bloody bugger! Seriously, it really made my heart jumped. I told the lady that I have 'to think about it cos I'm sorta gonna be occupied for January'. What the hell did I just say? Well, I just say, maybe cos I was getting sleepy and talking nonsense. But the lady seems to understand and told me to confirm with her tomorrow, today, using the same number.
Bloody bugger! I really need to sort things out with the people there, really asking if my leave there is possible. But wait, if the trip did not work out, I'll still go to work la. If only I do not have this situation at the moment. That also includes my 3 different hospital appts, which most of then are spread out within the first two months. How am I gonna switch the shift? All I now is, I really need to clarify things with them first before agreeing. Mom asked me if there is any try-outs first, before signing the contract, to see if we are comfortable with the shifts and everything. Do they still do that at this era? Hmm, gotta find that out too.
So basically, I was totally lost at night, heart still bumping fast. And mind lost. Can't bloody have a peaceful and relaxing sleep! Speaking of peaceful, I watched Free Willy last night and realised how much of a bloody emotional git I really am. There was one scene of Willy or Keiko, or whatever you wanna call him, in the water and I suddenly remember about his sudden death. And I thought, 'I miss him already.' Woman, I have not blody met the whale itself or even be in contact of it and I feel so depress. I felt like crying at that moment watching the scene. I can soo slap myself for being an idiot. But, oh well, let's just let Keiko rest in peace. :-)
It's what? 15 minutes to 7am. I'm meeting Usha later at Bedok MRT to give her my Physics textbook cos she does not have one and needs it. Apparently, she decided to stick going to CJC, :p Goos for her, at least she got something better to do for the 3 months ;) Good thingis, she wants to go Poly! Hurray! Yes, hopefully, we all the old bunch ends up together again. :D Right, with that, I gotta wash up. Though I had no had enough sleep, I'm feeling awake at the moment. Wait, maybe because I had a strong caffeine that evening, that's why can't sleep well? Hmm, whatever la. All I know is that I'll be snoozing during the afternoon. Yes, now that I can't wait. ;)

So much for getting a job eh?
Oh, before I forgot, blogspot and blogger finally got their thing done! Hehehe! Thank you thank you, just don't ever go test-test anymore. You guys are no good are experimenting new things, or else, other things will get affected. So yea, whatever.
Now, let's see, he said 'in a day or two'. Blah! 3 bloody days already, off to go job hunting again. But I'm not sure I'll search for one at this moment. Cos we the whole bunch of family, cousins and many many relative of us are planning to go to Kuantan at the end of the month for the Hari Raya Haji outing there, to visit another batch of relatives over there. I think I'll wait to see if the trip is confirm, then I'll go searching for a temp job after that. :D I can't miss the trip to Kuantan. Never, ever. :D:D
Anyway, for 3 days, I was just doing chores. I woke up at 11, wash up, then cook lunch while Mom's outside Afir's school, chattering away with her other friends' whose kids are also in school. I'm left doing the dishes and everything. I wonder if I can get paid for doing chores at home.. or even betterm doing at other people's houses. LOL! Like real!
Today, will be going to CGH, for that heart appointment thingy, to clarify things so that I can get my damn teeth cleaned! Sheesh, I was thinking of 'draggin' Afir to Pasir Ris Park, you know, they have that big playground there, yea. He's been complaining that he's bored at home and wanna go downstairs and play. He's bloody 7 years old and his own friends' Mom won't allow their kid to go down alone. So who's gonna play with him, I ask. He said Khairul's friends. HELL NO! He's not gonna go downstairs and played with those maniacs. See what those gundus did to Khairul?! Influence him badly, and there's no way Afir's gonna turned out as bad as Khairul, nah ah. So he's stuck at home, groaning that he's got nothing to do. Dad won't allow him to play PS, only on weekends, LMAO! I ajak him go playground, but he don't want. Then what does he bloody wants leh? Ah, nevermind, let him play the tones in my handphones... somehow... he likes the way, keeps laughing after every tones ends.... :/ Weird kid.
Right, now I gotta get lunch ready, or the chicken will be burned... -_-

Went to GWC with Mom. Came there a bit early, so we jalan-jalan around,.. again. But when I came down to see this Simon, he was talking to another interviewee. So mom and me wanted at another table, but that dude was taking so damn long talking to Simon, shaking hsi head like a yo-yo. So I bought a drink and a bagel for Mom, cos she's getting bored already lol. Then this other girl came to Simon and sit with him, having an interview! The dude saw her and excuse himself. What the bloody hell?! Lesson of the day, interrupt. You won't know what you're missing. Grr, but lucky no fuming, hehehe. After the girl left, I practically chased after Simon cos he was getting up and stretching and sorts. He was about to take a break when he saw me and laughed. I thought there was something on my shirt or something, heng! First impression counts right? Hehehe. We basically talked about how I'm gonna managed after I got ito the poly and sorts. Lucky he's not those strict strict type. He admits that 'sulking' up to the customers sometimes are basically crappish. Lol, I felt really eased, heng. He saw my dad's occupation and he joked he gave me his lisence plate and put him in the 'special' list so he won't get samans. LMAO! Then he saw my Mom and said she looked young, lol! The interview went great, he said that my smile win him over. Woooaahh! LOL! He preferred me to be in GWC than other outlets. He'll give me a call in a day or two. Hope this works out. Yup, yup.
Yes, in case you are aking, I still cannot see my, Mat's, Yan's and other blogspot people blogs. The page will bring me to blogger.com . Is it just my computer or is it soe conspiracy going on? Haiz...
I met some other School of Rock 'fanatics' over in the MSN, Lendl, Eugene, Izzat, much much more. Lendle just loved the movie overall. Quite funny seeing their nicks all SOR related.
Britney's infamous wedding is all over the news. Papers, tv. Is she earning money this way? It's really pathetic man. Oscar or Grammy should include another category, The Blurrest Person On Planet Earth. Heck, it could even be a Guiness Records. No offense Ad ;) And at the moment, the news on 5 is gonna show an exclusive on 'Mr Spears' talking about what happened during the 'I Dos'. This is gonna be the talk-of-the-town of 2004, no less.
Tomorrow, probably accompany my Mom to Afir's school for his CCA Day. Afir is so perfect and good for Speech & Drama. He keeps acting that he's injured and fall to the floor in pain,... smilling with eyes shut. Then, 'GOTCHA!' Lol! But whatever happens tomorrow la. Now, I gonna turn in. Later!

No, I still cannot view my blog or other blogspots blog except Adleen's in this friggin computer at home. I went to the library last night and lo and behold! I can see those blogs already, but those computer at the libraries do not allow some sort of chatting going on, so everyone's tag-board was 'forbidden'. What is the matter with my com at the moment? Why only Adleen I can see? Maybe cos yours a dotcom? Err.. not sure, but I can't keep going to the library just to see those blogs. Aiyo yo.
On a lighter note, I got the call, and she asked me to come down today at 6:10pm to do the interview. So late? Hmm, guess there's lots applyinh for it. I just hope I get this one, I don't wanna hop around every places just to get a job for a few months.
Today's Usha's 17th bday! Happy birthday Usha! I know you probably won't see this, but what the heck right? Hehehe. I tried to make a super cool SMS to her, but I accidentally clear all the text. Bloody toot! Will try to make another one ... if I got the mood. Haiz..

Right, so I can't see my own blog. It keeps going to the blogger.com page. Wth?! But never mind, I need to blog -_-
Me, Mom and Afir went to Great World City yesterday. I wanted to try out a position at McCafe. Kinda nervous at first, but what the heck, I went up and ask for an application form. :D Already, the crew were nice to me, one of the girls said that she and me are of the same age. Hehehe. Then, this other guy said that his boss will give me a call by today to let me know of the real interview. Goodies, after that, we 3 went jalan-jalan at GWC. Nothing much there, it's not really a big place. We finally went to Mac to have something, but Mom wanted Mee Goreng, lmao! Afir wanted french fries and he refused to take away. Make up your mind la!
We decided to go home after that, but I was confused where the shuttle bus pick-up point was, and we ended up wasting how many long minutes waiting at the wrong place. So then the bus took us to Orchard and we got into a bus that goes to Bedok. 2-3 stops later, we saw this group of army boys marching along Orchard Road, the road itself, mind you ;), together with a band playing behind them. Lol! Throughout the marching, the boys were holding some baton and making moves with it, lmao! We pass them and saw the Istana, they were so many people there and I guess the boys were heading for the Istana,.. wonder what for.. hmmm.
Then, the terror begins. 2 Japanese moms and 5 young kids. I was listening to my discman but I could hear their loud voices when they entered the bus. I was sitting near to the front door, 2 seats behind the driver. One boy wanted to sit next to the door and he did, but one girl wanted to sit like that too, and she made a fuss out of it. To think that she looks adorable, sheez! Looks are deceiving! All was quiet when they sat next to the door, but they can't stop fidgetting! They were moving around like idiots! And their moms just can't stop chattering loudly. In Japanese even! Arrgghh! i turned up the volume of my discman. Then, both Mom sat next to me, and they were exhanging hand signals in front of me. The one thing I really hate is people talking loudly as if both are deaf and doing hand signals in front of my face. What?! Do you even ned to show your freaking hands when you're talking?! And even with the volume, I can still hear their disgusting voice under the earpiece, so I went maximum! Can still hear! I was going crazy! The kids were starting to quiet down and feeling sleepy. Now it's the Mom's turn to make such loud noises with their mouths! I felt this uncontrolable urge to slap their faces one by one, or at least, talk back at them. Grrr! But, I'm a good girl, stay calm, just listen to the music and forget about rude people. I mean really, what's the frkeaing wrong with Japanese people? I think they came from Mars and moved to planet Earth. -_- They are just not HUMAN!
Right, off with that. Phew! Eugene SMS me saying that Anishka is starting to change in behaviour and attitude. He said that the rest of the Coralites who went to TPJC sw her and waved at her hi. She saw, but she ignored. According to them, she went off with a new friend. I mean come on, you're gonna dislike her just because of that? And you haven't heard her side of the story yet. I mean, there were ties when she's practically blind without her specs, so maybe she didn't clearly see them. Who knows, but really, she's your friend and you're already judging her from other's 'encounter'. It's not like you're realy there you know. But whatever la, maybe I chat up with her and see what's happening.
But in the meantime, I gotta go and.. buy chicken wings. Yea, I'm now the second Mom in the family. -_- Ever since school's started, it's chores I've been doing. That includes buying 3kg of chicken wings! But no complaints....... yet. -_-
Another thing is, if anyone of you know what's the freaking wrong with blogger and why I can't see my own blog, please tag my board, if you can see it, otherwise, just email me or what. I'm sure I can see the tag board in the template preview. Ah! The horror!

I killed a woman today. Damn, feels good to get rid of her. I just hope she suddenly 'won't come back alive' and fight me back. THe way she fights is like fighting with a baby.
If you are wondering why I commit a strange murder, cos I did not commit a murder. It's an RPG fight. :D No worries, put that phone down, no need to call the police, aye? I got a police dad in the house already liao. Hehehe. Ok anyway...
I was thinking of taking the job at McCafe at Great World City, they are calling out for recruits in the paper. I can earn abot close to a thousand for a month, if I worked 6 hours a day and everyday for a month. Tomorrow's the last day of the interview, I think I'll go for it :D
I was happily sleeping when someone called for me. It was 10:30am. Who would want to call me that early?! Dad had to wake me up three times before I stirred around. There was this low voice on the other end, I was still trting to stay awake, then there was a laughter, a familiar laughter. It was none other than Eugene. He was calling from that Jurong CI, he's with Yihan and another Coralite, Pei Yan. THey were waiting for their next programme in the orientation. Surprise, surprise, Eugene seems to enjoy the fun there. Ha! So much for having the 3 miserable months of his life. We chatted for awhile, but I still couldn't stop yawning, lol, so we said bye bye and called again later. He still have not send me those prom piccies yet! Grrr, oh well. Hehehe.
I couldn't stop doing chores today... cooked Afir a breakfast, then myself a breakfast, then cook rice, wash the thick-amount of dishes in the sink. Then vacuum my and Khairul's room. Why do I have to vacuum his room?! Arrgghh! Nevermind, I did those chores... calmly. Phew!
Aight, I think I heard my Mom calling me to start cooking now.. Aw man... right... it's not the holiday anymore.. damn! I don't even have a job yet, I'm busy already. Poot!

Couldn't sleep till late cos Sis woke up damn early.. to get ready for school. Oh,.. it's bit a while since we did THAT. So yea, the lights were on and I was not sleeping too good. Khairul's noisy outside, asking where's his stuff and all. He should know that he's having an orientation camp at his first sec sch, yet, he packed it at the last moment. Idiot.
Then finally, peace, those two left for school. But Mom went in, asking me to fix her selendang. Grr.. woke up with wild hair and help her. Then Afir went in, looking oh-so dashing with his chubby cheeks, child eyes and sniffin his smelly bolster. Some kids still got their smelly bolster. I know some adults who are still clingin on to their beloved smelly bolster. Hehehehe. Anyway, then I decide to go to the toilet. Was minding my own business, with eyes shut cos I was so damn tired. Then I saw Mom came in, she went to the toilet and switched off the damn lights. At the same time, I yawned loudly and she gave out a cry. Lol! She looked so shocked! She said that she never noticed me enter the toilet. Wahaha! The look on her face just brightens up the morning, kekeke.
Then I went to the net. Eugene asked me to check who won World Idol. It was this certain Kurt from Norway. Kelly came in second.. she was sooooo damn close. Grrr! But she's second! That's still cool! You go girl!
Soon enough, most of my online Singaporean friends are not online cos well.. they're at school.. I wonder if Eugene's really enjoying himself at the CI. I wonder if Poh Siang is liking his JC uniform already, hehehe.. or if Anishka has made a fool of herself in TPJC.. don't know about Usha.. that girl's MIA> :/... It's all back to normal in one way... we're back to school.. excluding some lazy few of us.. hehehee.
Mom said that there's a position in Coffee Bean at Changi Airport. Not bad, but I don't like CB, heheh prefer Starbucks :D. Then Dad checked the papers for jobs for me. What was I doing throughout the day? Made a freaking header banner for a certain forum. I liked the final results, hopefully, they agree to put it up :D
Mystery Boards is a cool board,with cool features. One include stealing other people's coins, or otherwise know as post count. Heheh, I sux at it, got caught for stealing twice and I have to pay them back or the Mafia will come. Lol! Do try to come down. :D
Khairul's not gonna be here till tomorrow. Hurray!!! Right now, just spending time with the com and watching Afir 'acting' with his smelly bolster! There's nothing good on tv.. oh what a day!

Taa-dah! Just in time for the new year. Hehehe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Happy schooling for Yan and Dan and my siblings and my .. 3 other buds and to others as well. Kekekekke, break a leg in the new school year, aye? Wahaha.. ahem ahem..
Anyhoo, happy.. holidaying (?) for Adleen who I believe is still in Pangkor. And you guys say I'm the Queen of Outings, lol!
And I got School of Rock's soundtrack playing here. I'm still searching for the other soundtrack played by SoR during the credits. That's a nice song too. In the meantime, enjoy!

I made my first attempt at cooking macaroni and cheese. Throughout the stirring and steaming, I though that the cheese is gonna overburn and stained everything. But it turn out alright. The cheese melted perfectly mixing with the sea-shell-shaped macaroni. And the taste was good too. Sis had second servings! Hehehe, but Mo said a bit 'tawar', must need more salt. But that's only one 'mistake'. Iverall, I say I'm proud of my dish! Must experiment other kinds of recipes. Yea....
I'm gonna catch Gotcha today, since I'm free and sis is practically pulling me off my seat cos it's her turn to use the com. Lol. Later!

It's my bro and sis' sorta last day of freedom (with school's starting and all), I took them for a small outing. I could bring along Afir, but Mom won't let...:( We went to watched School of Rock at Plaza Singapura. Man, the show was really good, it's the best movie I've watched so far, my guess. I think the most hilarious part was the 'terminal disease' part. Hehehe, so farnie, that Freddy guy was lying on the ground... dead. LMAO! The kids were adorable and boy, they do have musical talents. It was really great seeing them strucking down the guitar and beating some keyboard music. The drums were AWESOME! Never heard those beatings from a 10-year old before. Really, the kids were sooo utterly cool. I feel like watching again, cos why? Well, it's also very inspiring. The movie as a whole basically tells you that everyone has a talent and you should strive for your dream if you wanna let your dreams be a reality. At first, when I heard of this movie, I thought, what the hell? Stupid movie la, won't watch. But after awhile, I read the synopsis and everything and figured, hey, maybe it is good. Thank god I did watched it. I must drag my Mom to prove to her that this is no crap movie. It IS good!
Then we went to Sengkang, via NEL. I'm a travelling girl. Though there's Mac in Plaza, I wanted to go jalan-jalan. Hehehe. Arrive at Sengkang, we went to Mac, it was crowded at first, can't find seat at all. So we just walk AROUND Macdonalds, and we came to the exit part of Macdonal, and there the avalaible seats were. Hehe, the occupants were just leaving. Lol, who would have talked that walking around Mac will do that, eh? I saw the banner up at the front that says that Filet is not $1.80. Sweet! Absolutely better than $3, heheh. Had our mini dinner and jalan-jalan a bit. Then went home via bus to Bedok. That's when Mom called and asked us to buy filet and fries for Afir. See?! Earlier, I had told them to buy a filet for Afir, but they protested. What's wrong with them and their little brother? Is he that naughty that they won't buy for him a .. filet? Ah nevermind. So at Bedok, buy filet and fries. I bought myself Lime mag. Hehehe, they have a 2004 calender along with them. Cool!
And so we reached home. Afir only enjoyed his fries and left his filet behind. WTH?! Oh well, I took the filet, re-heated it and ate it. Wahahaha! Then I had a tummy ache.. awwwww. So yeah, that's basically how we spend out last day of 2003. Be with the family.. or at least.. half of them. Hehehe. You don't have to party hard to celebrate the new year, just spending time with your loved ones are good enough.
I thought I was already falling asleep when I got an SMS. It's from the bloody Eugene! Msged me just 4 minutes after midnight saying happy new year! Lol! Too sleepy to reply. Thanx dude!
And a big happy new year year to you guys too! Yea! May your 2004 be much more happier, funner, exciting and brighter for you guys! Hurray!
