So "Happening"?!

Alright, I'm forever saying that I dun wanna start school.
So when is that forever coming true?!

So many things have happened during this long break. Happy and sad ones. Sometimes I'd just wake up to find myself in a lousy mood. It's crazy to wake up to know that there are so many things waiting for you to do. But I've been coping well, with the help of XiaoBai. She has a very fantastic ability - to make me go L-O-L. She often wakes me up too, coz I'd be so curious to know why is she whistling so early in the morning. Everybody lurves her. My grandmum even came to my house just to give XiaoBai some veggies!

Ok, back to topic. A new semester is coming. That means it's time to strive for better (or best!) results. I used to study for my parents. But now, it's for MYSELF. I hope I get to work with very responsible teammates when coming to projects...

Awaiting the next school break.

Oh, next Thursday is a PH. And I can't work! What's the point of no school? I can't work!

These are some photos I took, with immense effects from camera flash, when I was taking them at 12am...

Flashy Business. :p

Quite abstract and artistic lah hor? Haha.

"No worries I understand"

Worked morning shift (as usual) on Friday and Saturday. Ended up, I couldn't even watch my favourite shows proper. I slept through... until I heard the lovely sound of the viola performance. I'm lucky I didn't take up violin, if not I'll bang my head on the wall. Hey, the sound of viola is heavenly lah. Something in between a violin and a cello couldn't be too bad ya?

Anyway, I had an encounter with a crocodile customer yesterday. I guess I dun have to do much explaining about that customer's attitude right? You can just relate it to a crocodile.

Customers aren't always right, at least their attitude aren't. If they can go left, then why can't I? He doesn't even know how we function. People talk to you in a good tone and you dun appreciate. You good. But I even better. I walked away without even hearing him finish his (last!) words. My new manager even came to tell me to "chill". Yea, I did chill when I saw him eating alone. Just look at his face and you'll confirm chill.

Alright, enough of crocodiles.

Actually, I dun really like to do kitchen alone. I prefer someone to help me. Working hand in hand is better. So working on weekdays also have good and bad. Good is there's less customers. Bad is you have to handle everything yourself, unless it's real busy lahs.

E and I was doing kitchen yesterday. I think it's the first time we've ever made so much coffee in a few hours. I had a great laugh when he dropped something when I was steaming milk. I'll always remember that scene. So funny. Haha.

E and KX were surprised I'm already in Year 2...

KX: You next week starts school issit?
Me: No. 28th.
KX: Huh? Why so late? You in what school?
Me: NYP.
KX: I thought is 14th?
Me: That's for Year 1 bah. I in Year 2 le.
KX: I thought you Year 1 leh.
Me: I dun look like issit? Ok, thank you!

So he went to tell E too...

E: You Year 2 meh?
Me: I dun look like issit? Thank you thank you.

I presumed it's a compliment. LOL.

"No worries I understand" is really a consoling phrase. Things that I fear is now coming. I dunno how should I react. My eyes feel teary whenever I think of it. But I know I have to be strong. If I dun, then who will?

***

Someone called just now...

Someone: Can I speak to Joanna?
Me: Wrong number.
Someone: Who are you?
Me: You dialed the wrong number.
Someone: Who are you?
Me: [Fed up]
Me: I am not Joannaaaa.

I see no purpose in telling you my name. You won't know who issit anyway...

Ken Lee

I was browsing through some blogs and came upon this video - Bulgarian show "Music Idol". Her name is Valentina Hasan. According to her, the song that she was singing is called "Ken Lee", and not "Without You". The name, however, holds some percentage of 亲切感.

It's no longer a matter of good voice or what, but it is definitely of high entertainment value. She was, of course disqualified in the auditions, but was asked to perform that song in the show again. By that time, her pronunciation did improve a bit, but the audiences wanted to hear it originally. They even sang along the most classic part - "Ken Lee tulibu dibu douchoo".

Is she the second William Hung?

Do watch it. :p


Mariah Carey's "Without You"
Valentina Hasan's "Ken Lee"

Can or Cannot

Just when I've decided not to work when school reopens, my new timetable is hinting to me that maybe I should, after all. C'mon, no school on Fridays.

On my part, I wish I can work. But I'm not sure about my parents. I mean, my GPA did improve when I wasn't *working and studying at the same time.

*Note that 'working' comes before 'studying'. I only noticed this after I finished typing. So I guess I still prefer working. I just dun understand why people always say they'd rather study. Or is it that my job is not stressful enough... But dun you think it's so much easier to quit your job than to say quit school after not being able to achieve your targeted marks or sales?

Alright, I guess it's time to persuade my parents to let me work. I think if they really allow me to work, then I've to start persuading myself not to go for work every week, especially when it's time to chiong for projects. If I'm really working, I'd definitely work on Fridays only. I'm no fool to work on busy Saturdays. :p

Conclusion:
To me, it's SHOULD I, OR SHOULD I NOT.
To my parents, it's CAN OR CANNOT.

Haiya... 听天由命.

Afterthoughts

Worked full shift on Monday. I'm like forever extending my hours. Yesterday is because I've to cover someone. Today is because I've to wait for someone to take over me. I think my mum won't like me to call her when I'm working... coz it'll be about working longer. Haha.

Anyway, time passed very fast when I was working on Monday. ZJ came over to find J, and helped a lot. He is super good lah. I hope he comes more often. Hehe. Please lor... I only need to put on the lid for the pints and quarts that he packed. And he complimented the foam that I made. It's like by luck lah. Haha. Then we talked, joked and even acted to lie to T and WY . So fun, but they dun believe...

As you've said, 有缘再见. Haha.

As usual, I'm the one opening shop today. It's kind of stressed at times, especially when people from office call. Ya, but I think it's time to learn how to man a shop myself. Getting it on hand already, coz have experience le.

Hmmm... hope to learn more tough stuff and get promoted soon lehs. Haha.

Unique Seafood Market

Went to Turf City with my family just now. There isn't much any shopping at all. We just went there to eat seafood. It's quite ironic lahs, coz I dun eat those 'special' seafood, but my parents do. So we ate at Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant. The unique thing that made us eat seafood at such an ulu place is that we can choose our own seafood. It's called Unique Seafood Market.

The seafood we saw.

It's very unusual of me to collage my pictures, unless there's a lot, which is not the case. The very simple reason is that they'll look uglier (and more disgusting) in a bigger size.

Those frogs are all looking up the tank, as if they are gonna leap out any moment, or when I'm in front, just to scare me.

There are quite a few dead and overturned eels in that tank. I think they died because of the dirty water.

The clams look harmless, but not so if I suddenly go ki siao and eat it, coz it's gonna make me puke!

Oh ya, they sell a load more varieties of seafood there. I just dun want to go round taking pictures of seafood, especially when only 10% looks (and is) edible to me.

小白的心声

Come come, I show you my latest hideout.


Da-dum! It's under the treadmill. Not bad hurh?


I won't eat, unless you promise not to comb my hair every 10 minutes. :x


You mean there are fresher veggies?


Let me show you my 1 second stunt, with special credits to my mum, coz she likes to put veggies away from me...

Me: Hey, you dun steal my veggies hor, if not I call the police...

What are you looking at?!


Ok ok... stop playing with me. I wanna go back to my hideout.
