blunder-rific starbucks experience

java chip, extra bold, earl grey, vanilla mocha, banana chip and many more coffee orders kept ringing in my ears. my mistake of the day: wore three inch high heels.*argh the pain!* but had major fun learning to make the drinks, giving out free frappucino as promotions, interacting with customers and so on~

manager was a guy, so he forgot to mention the dress code, and sed interview when he shud've sed its a trial run as a barista in Starbucks. he apologized fer the mistake of not informing me to wear comfy shoes. i was still dressed in my office attire fer the second interview, after passing my first interview two weeks before. was shocked when work started but bleurgh, didnt complain. did the trial run fer FOUR HOURS non-stop. IN HIGH HEELS! getting drinks done(95%), cleaning up(3%) and sending orders(2%).

truth be told, i dun reli know if this job is going to beneficial to me or not. since i'm keen on making it in the business world, i guess this is the way to gain more knowledge n experience of the working world after being in the oil/transportation,logging, agriculture and property management company fer three years.

oukei~ tis thyme to muve on~!

hopefully being in an internationally established company will help me understand the business world more. will be facing customers everyday than to speak with them on the phone, behind a desk with loads of paperwork. i'm quite familiar with most paperwork related to running a company. now its me working UNDER a big company. like what i answered the manager after the trial run, "my goal? well... i hope i can make it into the management team and then climb to greater posts in this company?"

CHEH~ that bit was a lil fib but a great answer for him, he gave me a five outta five for that answer! hahahaah! next target after completing at least ONE YEAR in Starbucks, hopefully a good restaurant or preferably, a tourism agency.

updatez!

Wheee…. Went out a lot for lunch,dinners and shopping this two weeks! Seriously, my legs are kinda sore from all the walking. I’ve gone thru it(shopping outlets) all~ muahahah! I bought a dress, three pairs of shoes, a bag, some shirts, two jeans, loads of earrings and …. Heheh! Far too much ice cream! It was yummy but I do regret it now… but u only live life once only eh? Heeehee!

I’m now unofficially back-to-normal once again. I mean, I’m finally not waking up at eleven in the morning and sleeping at three o’clock dawn. It was pretty hard la, to say the least on getting the biological clock back to its original state. I’m naturally a noctural person~ hmm… luvly stars~*

Now, I’m starting to be very aware and careful of what I eat,(except fer the ice cream overload~) as college is starting soon. Ditching most of the carbs, and sticking to low GI foods and liquids. Same concern applies to my beauty regime! That’s absolutely crazy~ the ONE more thing to do is to have my hair done~ easypeasylemonsqueezie!

Wahahaha! I think I’m taking college a lil too seriously. Getting my cupboards,books and organizer ready fer the BIG DAY! Mandy cant stop saying that I’m going to somehow turn into one of them : LaLa people! OHMYGOWD,the horror! * no offence * its just that I think they go overboard with the style far too often! Clashing so many colours (be it hair, face, clothes or even nails), wearing superduper loud glasses, applying a ton of make-up(sooo doll-like and unnatural) , accessories a bucketful(mostly faux pearls and ribbons from HEAD to TOE), act cute, and talk like an anime. LIKE I SED, that’s my opinion.and no, i cant possibly be like them. i hate OTT details, i'm more on the simple, minimalistic side >;P but i'm not boring.

Moving along~ o… lots of kitchen lesson learnt! From my sister’s boyfren! Hahaha! he made DIMSUMS and SIEW LOONG PAU! yummy giler....Ohmygawd! Absolutely the biggest and original dimsums! No processed meat or ingredients… no wonder the older generation just cant be satisfied with the ones ordered in restaurants! Gosh! Now I’ll never be satisfied over machine-processed dimsums! Ah!!!

Ladies n Gentlemen, i've passed my theory law test! with a fantabulous score~! so...i found out i reli do need to read d effing ugly textbook huh? but seriously, the stuff was just plain crap wan la! robbing us of extra cash on the books.thts besides the point, WOOI! WHEN CAN I RELI DRIVE ?! theres another six hours of bengkel! and tht six hours is, according to others, a complete waste of time! argh! the five hour class was alredi hell EVEN with an mp3 blaring in my ears and me doodling the textbook! someone! please SAVE ME!

just fer a driving license!

So I failed my theory test. The first thing that popped up was, “OMFG?! How’d hell am I going to face my buddies?! please tell me the effing computer is joking!!!”

they all laughed as usual and looked at my paper, stopped fer a while and laughed again. “how’d hell did u survive ur spm when u cant even pass this!?”

Then they laugh again, “and why did u do it in 19 minutes? Rushing to go work ar or competition o? wakakaka!”

* rolls eyes* “look, I missed the passing mark by ONE point! And I didn’t study the whole effing textbook ok? I just read whatever I thot was important last night in probably three hours. So I think I did pretty good at tht.”

More laughter sounded across the table at Starbucks… I hate that sound already… shyt…I’m sitting fer that exam again tomoro. I’d better pass it this time. Gah!

smash n crash~

i'm pissed. frustrated. angry. sad. annoyed. G-A-H! anyword that would indicate how one would feel when he finds out that the camera's memory card SUDDENLY needs formatting just when he needs to download the pictures A.S.A.P. reformatting would mean that all the data would be erased. DAMNIT! argh~~~!

not over yet. i fought with BOTH my elder sisters today. gawd. can life be anymore dramatic n devastating? it all happened at the same time so yes, i admit i screwed up in the middle. i got home at 8.30pm wit the pent-up three week long anticipation of being able to put up ALL my family photoes n NS pictures up on my online album. then... the card reader sez : reformat now? yes / no

so i instantly went COO-COO~ i was downright desperate! calling every techie daddy knows, and asking all the einsteins of the gadget-ie world. ALL of 'em sed: ur memory card is a goner. that pretty much made me so frustrated at the thought:i've lost ALL my precious pictures?!

frustration can somehow lead to anger, my elder sister Mandy just HAD to come to me for emotional support then! I listened with utmost respect, gave the most reasonable advice and used uber-patience when she keeps asking questions about the lovejerk. AND just tht moment, my eldest sister came online! and remembering that she was the one who ADVICED me to take her camera instead of my own. i did just tht. and HELL, i'm regretting to this very minute on heeding her advice. its human nature to be trying to put the blame on her but still, i'm also blaming myself for not listening to my own heart/instinct. there are so many times where i pride myself in doing it my way on my own instinct and it has always turned out right. i just dun understand why, oh why didnt i just do wad i usually do!? so i started off with my eldest sis with a very civilised conversation stating that i'm not completely satisfied with her camera and she took the offence, turned the tables on me. obviously i would then feel irritated and think : "wth!? i'm telling u nicely and u talk to me like tht? calling wad i say , ranting..nonsence?"

i just decided to forget it and went completely silent on MSN. and Mandy was STILL talking on n on, sumwhere in my blurry head, i was suddenly aware that she was waiting fer my responce so i blurted wad was on my mind without precaution: "u shud control ur emotions and not let emotions control u. put the past behind u and move on. i understand how u feel right now but u shudnt just sit there and think back then bawl all over again. overcome this weakness and move on with life, ok?" it was stated in a reasonable n slightly persuasive way but she took off in a huff,muttering sumthing like: "...wrong person...depressed!" i get the point tho. gah~

happy but not reli~

so i've got offered to study in TARC, in what most people would think is the best course for me : business. maybe i'm having second thoughts. i dont know. all i know is there is a oddly sad feeling in my heart. yet again, maybe its because its now confirmed that i wont be able to study in KL. its like saying goodbye to family and friends back there. and it was surprising i told Ben first. and called Sabah a ....hellhole. i feel darn bad about that... still wondering why i did that...

MAPeC = Majlis Anugerah Pelajar Cemerlang. i got it! i didnt know wad it stood for on the last post. hahahahaha! so i attended the real thing yesterday and it was pretty good, compared to the rehearsel the day before. hahah! i came on time with May n Lily. walking among hundreds of students. i felt a bit out of place, wearing a traditional chinese top with embroidery and silk black pants. whereas my two buds were wearing long flowy skirts with button up tops. gah.... and i was the only dimwit wearing sumthing so super-earrings! hahah! i got tons of compliments tho! *peace!* wore the huge red robes, and found that i look ridiculously big in it. but o wells, so did everyone else~ kekekek!

u noe wad happened!? i was called up and when i'm finally in front of the VIP n my headmistress, i took the award cert n money, i turned to the photographer and gave my big smile. "miss, ur hair." in my head i was thinking "wtf!? its my hair-do la! just take the effin pic and lemme GET OUTTA HERE!" i smooth my VERY PERFECT N IN PLACE hair and u can hear the audience laughing a bit. darn it. then just when i've done tht, not ready and all, SNAP! he took my fugly pic. HEY! I PAID U RM 20 MAN! *bleeeep*

;] went home with a dozen pictures with frens n teachers, changed and got Mandy to send me and my friends to go shopping. had fun on just deciding on where to eat n had fun crapping around like clowns. there was six of us laughing with the waiter who was seriously f-u-n-n-y! W=waiter, C=customers

w= nak makan pe?
c=saya,ayam goreng.
c=ayam putih
c=itik
c=fried chicken
c=sama lah~
c=bak kai fan *steamed chicken rice*

waiter then turns repeats our order the EXACT way we said it. laughing, he turned around to the lady inside the booth and sed : "satu ayam, satu itik, satu makluk putih, satu bak zi, satu terbakar, dan satu fried chicken."

watched 'meet the robinsons'

rate it: 9/10

biadap biatch

skewl awards ceremony rehearsel, better known as MaPec held today. i reli dunno why its called so. i woke up with a start at 9.20am and groggily got ready. i changed my shirt about six times! just to ensure i get the most DECENT outfit. u noe about the rules where, if u attend a meeting with most of them being Islam, u'll have to be covered to ur elbows n knees, and not show the cleavage. i changed and changed until i figured: 'o wad d hell! wad can they possibly do to me? make me wear the curtain!? " i donned my black Ralph Lauren - Pink Pony polo shirt and comfy jeans. love it lar~

got there and noticed... gar! i'm not late but was d last to arrive. why are ppl so very punctual?! nvm.. dun answer tht~ i walked down the big hall, occasionally smiling at the familiar faces of my juniors and greeting my old skewlmates... sat down in the front row between my two old classmates and launched into the super talkative/laughing-fit session with the two beside me, and some of them at the second row. all would have been reli wonderful until i saw sumone that i'm like, 101% anti-her! anyway, i chose to ignore her presence and just go on with my social life. but everyone still keeps teasing and pushing my buttons. saying things like : "eh, ur best fren there in wad college?" "ur not going to talk to ur good fren ar?" ... etcetc~ i usually laugh it off but deep down inside, i'm still trying to get over the hatred. why am i so anti-her? okie... u see? i'm good enuff to not reveal her name. but i'm still gonna rant all i want about how i feel.

she is the ULTIMATE copy-cat. okie... tht sounds childish but seriously, wait till u meet her then u'll understand. SUPER two-faced biatch. she can miss haughty one minute and act-cute in the next. SELFISH. in knowledge - she hardly teaches u even tho she's d top student. but at the end of the year, she just teaches others fer the gain of teacher's affections. u noe how? by walking up to the board just when the teacher leaves the classroom and she yaks till the next teacher comes in. praises abound~ gawd... me n the others would just gag n roll eyes.

QUESTION: why cant people just be comfortable in their own skin?

i dun have the answer. but there she was. the first time i saw her in form three. my first day in a new state n a new school. eager to make frens, i was so happy Ely introduced me to the some gurls. lets call the biatch - Tilarie. alright... moving along. she was all cold and hardly produced a smile . offended but i decided she's just shy. months passed and still no responce. i admit, i felt reli good breaking her reign in the english subject. i felt more joy when my other frens broke it too. she was no longer the ALL STAR student. each year, awards are given to those who are the best in a certain subject. starting off, she got the most of it. slowly, she couldnt hold on to it any longer.

in form four , i was forced to sit with the biatch herself! gawd... i cud've died in misery. forced to became friends until the middle of the year, where i just exploded cuz i reli cant stand it anymore.

1. her FANTASTIC ability to become someone else is driving me up the wall! i was patient enuff to obligingly answer her neverending questions on makeup n fashion n boys. and wads worse is... she was actually asking me fer my opinions, then she goes all out to disgree and insists that she's right! so wad d EFF did u ask me for!?
2. and ohmigawd, the way she talks n the body language at the same time can instantly make my dad throttle her. the chinese phrase is = lin c. her crazy double face attitude can easily make one just drop to their knees and just beg her to "BE ORIGINAL LA , DAMMIT!" one minute, she is being the most helpful angel and the next, "figure it urself."
3. seriously, form four year was a HUGE chaotic year fer me. but i thank her - for teaching me to control my temper to even greater heights and learn to say 'no'. remembering that she tried to be cool n she lied to her mom about being in skewl but tried to go hang out with us. she was in a nervous breakdown at the mere thought of being caught. why lie when u can just be honest to ur mom? or just dun go out lar ok? save us the drama.
4. and i'll never forget her listening to me n May's talks n just poking in. not forgetting that she also ended up stating she was the fashionable one. i'm not irritated by that, merely AMUSED she dared to say tht.back then, she hardly knew the difference between foundation n concealer. had never gone out with friends just to hang out. never gone shopping wit gurlfrens and hardly knew how to talk to a guy. and she was still wearing childish shirts with pink baby bows and holds a hankerchief all the time.

now in form five, she sat beside May on the first day making me even more furious with her. HELLO!? the whole world knows me n May always sit together! wad d eff u doing sitting beside her table? she refuses to budge n since its d first day, i refused to cause a scene. i sat between Lily n Ely. it turned out great anyways. but i pity May cuz she ended up bored to tears listening to Tilarie yak non-stop and like ALL gurls do. we all started gossiping. as in... me n the others started talking about Tilarie. in front of her.she never reli got it or she was reli thick faced.

until nearing the end of the year, we were so tensed to the point we practically threw Tilarie with the class loser- Tsunami. not the real name, d'oh! hahah. they were a fantastic pair. " why didnt we do that earlier?!" both of them got along well with their signature voices- one screechy (Tilarie) n one very low(Tsunami). as one talks nonstop, the other would agree on everything she sed. both of them were attention deprived, thick faced, sweet mouthed, and just plain annoying.

i wudnt say she is rude all the time but sometimes she goes overboard. once, the teacher had to yell at her, she would stand there and wobble on her two feet(basically no-sound-merajuk-ing) GROW UP LA! ; then when she doesnt get what she wants, she ignores everyone WTF!? ; the worst and most recent... not even four days ago! which i think she has outdone herself, she refused to salam with our form five skewlmate who was congratulating her on SPM results. its ok if u gently refuse with a reason but dun go staring at the person like she's got chickenpox on her fingers and walk away without a word! i thought that was too much! i wasnt there or i would have....anyway, so many people told me about it to the point i thot grumbily: "o goody, war~!" .

then to top it off~ this morning Tilarie turned to my fren beside me and said: "oh, i'm in college already. you havent started yet right?" my fren just laughed and sed: " o ya." turned to me and sed : "biadap!"
