283rd Post; It's New Year Eve, So you need to reflect on how the entire year has been. It's a good thing I finish eating my food because as friends will know, when I eat, I just eat. And it makes me a lot happier like what Kelly would say. Okay let's get serious on this. Don't expect to see details because it's gonna be a good reflection on how Two Zero Zero Nine has been for me. Well when me myself, think of the 4 numbers, important events like Olevels, Prelims, homework, 6 points will spring to my mind and then from there, branch out to many other stuffs like stress, pressure, and so on. 2009 has been, like what Reuben mentioned last year on his blog, like a rollercoaster ride, nothing like Final Destination 3, but yeah, it sure was filled with ups and downs. Putting acads aside, I also think of SYF, the choir I had been for like 4 years with awesome bunch of singers and friends. From Gold to Gold With Honours, I think it made my choir days so worthwhile because I finally get to leave my CCA without worries. So to the choir, thanks a lot, and I am sure you will soar to greater heights. When you feel choir practices suck, just bear this in mind: Sing, not because you have to, but because you want to. And then the entire issue about this year would actually be one general word that bears so many experiences, Friends. What are friends? Are they just people whom you want to get along with because of their status and because they are of some use to you, or are they people whom you feel, share similar ideas, passion and goals such that there's a click. More importantly, are they people whom you feel, you can relate to the best whenever your life crashes into some wreck? There are so many ways to define the term Friendship. Keep to whatever definition you have and witness for yourself, what kinda result it will be in near future. I don't hate Victoria. In fact I am, to a great extent, thankful because she has given me friends who are just this wonderful. Friends who go that extra mile to provide the care and concern that you feel you really need at times. It's something that is worth remembering. Because we have good friends, we are afraid to lose them. But why don't we, for once, follow the meaning of Carlisle's quote and just allow time to play the game, as we stand back and cherish whatever we have? 2 years ago I was trying hard to convince a friend that friendships do last really really long. I have to beg to differ now, because no matter what when we go on seperate paths, it's gonna be difficult to catch up with friends again. Perhaps when we look back on hindsights in future, we might not regret so much because we have cherished what we have then. I managed to keep on with my belief in how friendship should work, even though my dad keeps trying to hammer it away. In summary, friends are people whom you have fun with, confide in and probably people you will never want to forget. And for an individual, that's the best you can do. Cheers, to friends. This year has been eventful. I found a class of awesome peeps, a group of crazy, whacky singers, and just this little group of close friends I will try hard not to forget. We will all board a train that will eventually lead us to different destinations. Some tried hard to continue writing this story of many memories, but others simply ran out of ideas and stopped the story from going on. But an end is another beginning. A new year will approach very soon, and we will all live on a fresh new chapter once more. Thank you to all the people I know, for you have made 2009 a very wonderful year. As much as you don't like it, You will eventually find yourself. Slowly walking away and walking out, Further and further away from this town of lil memories. ---------------------------------------------- Needa go prep for work already. It's gonna be a great countdown at Marche later on. Tuesday, December 29, 2009
282nd Post; THENEXTBIGTHING. I realised I can't remember people's faces and names properly. So there are only 3 girls from CHIJ TPY, I thought there were 4. I thought Rachel was Theresa and Theresa was Rachel. I thought I was talking to Rachel all along when I actually was talking to Theresa. Ah whatever, they are leaving already anyway, I dun need to care anymore. Anyhow I got my pay today, I think it's quite little and unexpected but nevertheless a good start since it's my very first pay (Kaching). I won't spend it on anything much, but will probably just save up and add on to the next pay. But hey, I want a swaveboard. Talk about swaveboard. This afternoon Sot, Han and I were swaveboarding in ECP and it was really fun, especially when you get a hang of it. I think it's gonna be the next big thing; a lot of people in ECP are trying to learn to swaveboard. Oh I tripped really badly just now and fell totally FLAT on the ground. Embarrassment didn't set in first but PAIN did. Landed on my butt and then rolled a quarter backwards, like woahseh. But I liked that feeling of falling. It's like how many times do we get to fall down because we were having fun. Hah so this is something that is out of ordinary I guess. Thanks Han for the awesome session. Watched Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 later on. I dun understand why Plaza Sing's GV screens such little movies; every thing was selling fast. We got the second row seat, which wasn't too bad but still, uncomfortable. Lol I realised something very common among girls. They go 'Aw so cute' when they see Theodore and they go "Ew" when they see Ian Hawk eat a muffin that was thrown away. It's like I was sitting in between two girls and both of them had the SAME reaction. Lol. I think the Chipettes are ugly and I think Theodore is still the best. Alvin's got a big ego like someone. Simon is such a guaikia la. Haha today was really really really fun. I mean like we finally get to go out because before that I was always busy and stuffs. --------------------------------------- Heart doesn't race that much anymore, but it kinda paces quickly. I care more like a friend now but sometimes it kinda bites. But it's not like it ever started in the first place, so.. Haha. Platonic platonic platonic. That should be the way.

281st Post; X-sir-size. Final Destination 4's awesome. Walao, it's M18 only because there was a sex scene in the swimming pool tragedy, stupid. But I like the Bloody. Hell. Today DIDN'T feel like a Sunday to me. I forgot it was one in the first place until after seeing people walking into the church while taking the train to somerset this morning. And then, the lunch crowd was not that overwhelming (even though plates and trays swarmed the cosmos, ironic huh), but perhaps that was because I wasn't in charge of any area. Once again, counterchecked 3 times in a row, and I don't plan to clear plates until someone takes the counterchecking job away from me. No more morning shift for next week I presume, looking at the number of people leaving. We might need to OT quite a few times soon. Oh you know something, I am gonna buy plain rice from the Soup counter from now on. Rosti doesn't fill my stomach. I know it's gonna be idiotic eating only plain rice, but the food there is frigging ex, what to do. Maybe can follow Khine and use potato chips to go along with the rice. Hah. School's starting...(For my juniors. Wahaha.) Well that's a good thing though. You get to see your friends once again. Just study for god's sake. Finish whatever holiday homework you have (EXCEPT chinese) because they are gonna be beneficial. I get to sort out cutleries and refill plates, bowls, glasses for another month before I start school. Like where man. I can't do counterchecking in peace whenever I start random thinking about Os. Besides, almost all my working colleagues there are Sec 4s and when we first began conversation, it's like about Os. So stupid right. Maybe I should just start a conversation with others by saying something else. ACTUALLY, I have to agree with the phrase "Do not judge a book by its cover". Why say that the book sucks when you haven't even opened it to check out the contents? Likewise, why think that a person has bad attributes (and what nots) when you haven't even spoke to him/her? Somehow, I feel really guilty for thinking that way weeks ago. Aren't we now friends? Sometimes, we really have to let the conversation take us through and then make a reasonable judgement. Then again, here's the however. What if you start to know the person more and then realises that, in all the conversations that you had, he/she has something in him/her that is being incorporated into his/her speech that makes it annoying and repulsive.. --------- You have read the book. It's not meant for you. Saturday, December 26, 2009
280th Post; Merry Belated. Hit by plague. Firstly it was Damien, then Karl, then tomorrow, Choon Chee. Someone told me a number of people will leave next week due to New Year plans, leaving only a handful in the restaurant side. This is SAD man. What if we die due to exhaustion. We are already short handed! I think I'm getting tired of counterchecking and clearing of plates. I want to work at the COSMOS. I want to spray the plates. *pauses* Now, did that sound wrong? Anyhow, yeah, I told Marco about it already and apparently he just gave that 'reassuring smile' and walked off. I can't decide which day to rest next week. The restaurant will STILL be flooded all the same even with people swarming over to Sentosa for some beach party during the NY eve, and we will have a hard time in the restaurant. But then we get to celebrate it in the restaurant, and that's something new for me. Ah sian. I can't decide. :/ -------------- I have this feeling my father is starting to boss me around like what my mom always do. It's alright when mom keeps nagging but when he does that, it doesn't feel right and I feel annoyed. Hah, you got OWNED. 279th Post; I like my blogsong! Lolz Merry belated Christmas though. Sighs, Santa didn't come yesterday night. I fell asleep thinking I would get that definition but woke up late for work, sorry June. Yesterday was a busy day. Even with two countercheckers, Zihui and I couldn't cope with the entire thing; customers keep taking cutleries like free. Left Zihui alone in the end to do the job cos my work was over. Went 313 and Bugis to shop for clothes. Lol I haven't spent finish yet sia. Still got money to buy a few more shirts. Eyeing cheap clothes. But my theme for NY this time round is like : BLACK. My mom's gonna kill me if she realises that. :/ Maybe, maybe not. -------------------- Christmas this year was.. better than the last. Well at least just a tad better. But it's still JINXED. I can't believe it man. To put everything in short it was disgusting yet amusing at the same time. I've nothing much to blog about, except a Merry Christmas once again and I needa sleep. Memory rocks. It makes me sad. See the power of cello. Friday, December 25, 2009
278th Post; Merry. Christmas... Dear Blogger, Merry Christmas. What a quiet countdown to such a festive moment though. On the eve of Christmas I went out with my classmates, walking around Bugis Junction and chatting anything and everything under the sun. Nickhan taught me how to take nice photos which I will try hard to remember so next time if I (ever) own a DSLR I can apply it and take awesome pics. Ashley and Co came and the group of us made a lot of noise that got the atmosphere running. It was beginning to feel like christmas... eve. Went inside Intercontinental Hotel sit for a while and got up after a few shots and the painful realisation that a 500ml mineral water could actually cost a good 8 bucks. -.- Later on they went their ways to get ready for Churn Hoe's church event while I spent the rest of my day walking around Suntec and later at Bugis finding clothes to buy. However, those cheap berms made me suspect their fabric quality (Ashley said they will tear easily), so I didn't buy. Met Kelly at Somerset and went back Marche to made our presence known (like seriously). Kelly's homemade lil cakes were very nice (maybe I was just hungry) and I took a bag of seven and munched on it along the way home. Xmas eve was boring and tiring... But what could become of Xmas? There's no gifts exchange this year. Mom and Dad are spending their day at home (hell) but I feel that would really be wasted. I end work at 6pm tmr and might find myself lost once again for the second time.. But whatever it is, if Santa Claus isn't a figment of our imagination, I hope he will drop some spell or something to make us reflect and re-define the definition of Friendship. It could make a real Christmas resolution or something don't you think. Well. If tomorrow's gonna be that way then just let it stay that way. Another celebration will come our way very soon. In fact, everyday's a celebration because we are surrounded by our friends. I'm going to do a little prayer before I sleep. Something like a... Christmas prayer? Praying that all will be fine.. Those tantrums and fights, those wild thoughts and frights, they ought to go away on a Christmas like this. SMS-es are flying around now. Finally taking the morning shift tomorrow. Then I ought to stay in bed now. Santa might be on his way soon... Bye Blogger. ------------------------------------------------ I think my Christmas is jinxed. Every year. It's like a phobia. Maybe I will wake up tomorrow with a clearer definition in mind. So I won't have to guess why you are such a person. And from then on, leave you alone to realise your truth.

277th Post; Something Different. My rantings with colleagues made me forget about the anger I had earlier on. Yesterday I had more experiences with irritating and just effing annoying customers. Apparently I think Khine made a mistake assigning 2 customers to one table causing some conflict. I happened to be there so I kena kaopei by them. So annoying. [Them] Where's the seat I was assigned to just now? I thought I flipped to the Reserve side? [Me] *clueless* Oh. I am sorry Sir and Mam, how about you take this seat (points to the 2 seater)? If there's a bigger space (they wanted a four seater), I will assign it to you. [Them] That won't happen right? [Me] *then what you want me to do* That will, if there's a space, we will definitely do that. [Them] I give you 5 minutes to settle everything. Dun spoil my appetite please. So I got Marlina to help me and Marlina also kena by them. Hello, fucking bitch. If I wasn't in the uniform I would have scolded you. Who do you think you are. What a typical Singaporean. Totally unreasonable. And the worst thing is I have to accomodate her. Another instance was I thought I HAD TO clear plates for the customers sitting at a long table. So I cleared and apparently I think I cleared a plate they wanted but it was empty. So in the end the woman was like, "Okay, you can stop clearing already." I was like, "Ok." and walked off. My point is. Do you think I WANT TO clear your plates. It's because I HAVE TO. And this is freaking the reason why I hate being a service-ster. I dun think I am obliged to accomodate customers who "are always right" like come on. But the good thing is it actually pulled me closer to understanding what kinda world we are living in. Singaporeans and their typical responses and reactions to stuffs. Sometimes it's just freaking disgusting and downright embarassing. So. Like what Sotong said. This job requires very much the tolerance. Nehmind, I shall take that as good training for me. But just now I totally broke out of my tolerance; was complaining at COSMOS. Oh yeah Sotong and her friend came to walk around the restaurant just now. Haha I think it's quite sad for her cos she can only see but not eat. Hehe. Oh yeah Mr Jeya was quite annoyed cos my area was like a total warzone. Like I care. I left that table which asked me to stop clearing untouched. And later on some of the customers left at the same time so it was really horrible clearing up. Sian. Put me in Cosmos or countercheck seriously. ---------------- I dunno why but I feel extremely nervous I am talking to you face to face. And my heart races. Wow. Tomorrow's OFF DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though I hate Marche, I am still going down to do countdown with peeps. Hope that's gonna be a differend kind of Christmas.. |
