felt like shit in prive

this was wat happened last night at prive...


i tot my service was kind sucky last night bcuz i dun get to tok to any of my customers...
all of them were too bz with their conversation tt i couldnt cut in to ask for feedbacks...
so the night got boring especially its monday night.
not many tables were filled.
nvm abt tt
towards the night, we had mini wagyu burger for supper.
however, the chefs in the kitchen offered me red wine to taste it's richness n blah blah blah
so.. i tot it'll be a good idea to taste it since i have no idea how merlot tasted like
guess what? merlot actually taste good!! think they used unripe grapes to produce such wine
cuz the smell n taste was real fresh...
they let me taste another 1... cant remember the name of it but it was thick.
im glad tt i tried them cuz now i noe wat wine to push. merlot is good!
but here's the trouble, the head patissier esther saw the chefs n me drinking n tot we r having a party or drinking session
n thus told felix abt it n called chef derek abt it. [she's such a pain in ass when the chefs actually offered her some wine as well]
so now, i presume i shud be in trouble..
the chefs hu r working will be too...


sigh... then again, drinking a lil of alcohol does boost my energy
becuz, i've got class at 8am n i went on to work till 1am... not bad eh?
im sure gerald n wai didn't see much of me complaing abt tiredness after the drinking complaint

highlights of the month of october

n yes... i have been really bz working n working during this 2 months of hols. m also aware tt i have neglected a lot of my frens n especially family. but i guess these r some things i have to sacrifice if i need to be self-sufficient.

alright, back to the main topic of the HIGHLIGHTS of the month of OCTOBER

i had been working real lots, so here's a pic of some of the crew...

for ur info, irish gerald samuel n me r all in the pic respectively. we were doing our night shift till closing n had decided to take a pic of ourselves to kill time. as u noe, our night transport home to the east is always late as compared to the transport for west. argh... its irritating but oh well, cant really say much when we r already too tired to care. all i noe is tt the driver is really terrible in attitude. however, he's driving skills can really make a dream of flying cars come true manz...



by the way, this is just sth i tot it looked really pretty n worth a photoshot. this is done by pala, cappucino readied for a customer. i think the designs on cappa r really interesting. it comes out differently everytime u make it. so i always find interest to take a second look at the designs on the cappa b4 i serve. in this case, the pic made it looked like a one-sided butterfly on the cappa.


alright, this as the day when terence got fired, wai n gerald came over to my house to bake cake and also the day we dota-ed.

gerald n wai came to get me from prive after i finished work. as we walked to the train station, we saw rainbow. in fact, not 1 but 2! u can take a closer look at the pic. one is a lil faded.



yup, we headed to my house for some baking!! haha... hmm.. nth mucht o say actually. all i noe is tt im doing most of the baking lah... wahlau.. the baking time was wisely spent by playing dota with the 3 of us against AI. haha... we won for the 1st round n then lost terribly for the 2nd. after which, it's time to take a look at our cake. erm.. won't elaborate on the games part cuz tt's not the point



camewhoring!!
here's a proof of our work. see tt black circle thingy? tt's the cake. n it's not chaoda for ur info, it's just choc. the cake was left on the living table for cooling straight under my very big big fan connected to the ceiling. but i guess after eating my mudpie, the cake doesnt really taste chocolatey. i wonder why, maybe i got scammed... oh well... =p but so sad... even up till now, carmen havent even posted pics of her bday... so sad... wahuhuh



n here we r.. wai's in the pic too... he was there to help me stir the egg... ya...
i guess cooking n baking is not a guys thing. then again, i wonder what genders r those ppl working in restaurants as chefs. alright... dun mind me... im just blabbering nonsense...



gerald was just trying to attract attention...
can ignore him lah =p



a pic of us in the bus on our way to eh hmm... somewhere...



after all tt hardwork, we paid it off by having a great meal at miss clarity cafe with carmen on the day b4 her bday. so happy!



n the miss clarity cafe ppl gave this as complimentary. not bad, it's better than nat's. haha... but it cant be compared with her lah... she's got a grp of frens in church to celebrate with her, think its good enough.



ok, just random... tot the handwriting was pretty good especially when its done by a guy... hehe



ya noe, this is my pack of rice provided by prive. look at what cui had done to it!! wow... terrible gal. think she's a true bimbo loh... hu would draw their disposable bento with this design? it's none other tt weird gal hu has the highest rank for being a bimbo. another words, top bimbotic cui!! haha.... nth better to do ah tt gal...



alright, random again... i remembered tt my mom used to wait for me in oder to fetch me home or to sch after my pino lesson. tt was so long ago manz... think i should be around pri 2? i used to take piano lessons from a cc and back then, my household used to own 2 cars... right now, i had gerald to wait for me so tt he may fetch me back on his bike to his house for dinner or movie. hmmm... quite a big change heh? but i tot it's really cute though the transition from cars to bike has a large difference.



ok, i had PC chalet not long ago n this is another highlight for the month!! it was fun... now no fun cuz no more... haha lame. n ya, the guys r trying to start the fire... im somewhere inside the aloha bungalow playing bridge. ya noe, i cant help much in this cuz im not very good with smoke. plus it's quite a no. ppl around the bbq pit. i cant seem to find sth useful to do since every1 has a role to take... sianzed... but oh well, bridge was good. was really exciting! lots of close shaves to win n lose.. but fun!!



this was the moment where we got marcus almost drunk.. wahaha... shan't elaborate more



erm... this is just another random stuff...
got this cookie from my immature band. they bought it from japan... wow... the whole tin cost abt 11 plus singapore dollars and it's got only 30 pieces in it i think. super not worth it but i cant bear to try... hehe



n here's a pic i think it really relates to me pretty much. female bass guitarist with bunny costume and 'dots' facial expression.. haha... wonder how would u interpret it. but it seems signicantly similiar.. thankfully.....
im off with the rabbit nickname!!

short update of my bz schedule

wahuhuh... really working my ass off again
holding 3 jobs currently once again.
- prive
- trueblue (which i guess im gonna stop working there for some time again)
- tuition (she just called to take extra lessons cuz her psle is just next wk)

oh oh.. n i forgot one more new job
modelling for ebusiness... so cool right? cant wait to wear clothes tt i would nv buy n pose in front of the camera for good shots of myself
wahaha... just hope i wont learn to be vain after tt

PRIVE

wow... couldnt believe what prive has taught me
currently, i'm aware tt my human relation skills have improved and i attained more courage in approaching customers, or rather ppl i dunno. the best part is tt i learn quite a bit abt wine these few wks. fun!! i get paid for learning sth new... interesting...


n guess what, i was scheduled for prive from 10 to 5pm n then true blue from 6 to 10pm today
the thing is... i kinda brought wat i learnt in prive along with me to true blue. for this, i managed to get hold of my customers business card n we can keep in contact... he's a wine sommelier with Singapore airlines, another words, he can be my wine tutor... haha whichever it is, i'm so glad i've got this opportunity to meet ppl such as tt.

anyway, gerald cycled to my house alone on monday after i finished work at prive. it was around 2am plus manz.. but because my parents tot tt it is not safe for him to cycle back home at tt hr, he stayed over once again. tt dumb dum still dare to replace some1's shift for the next day... kookoo leh... make himself so tired for wat? sigh.. i guess tt muz be one of his reasons for being so thin

guess what i saw last night

a B-E-A-U-tiful car!!!

so cool right??

current thoughts to myself

once again, i'm grounded to work in this period of my life. u noe... i long to be like cui, nat, carmen... so free... free from the bondage of ur needs to spend on food, things and vacation. i wanna fly away... i really wanna fly away. i have cried so many nights hoping tt i could 1 day catch a short glimpse of what paradise is like. i dun wanna be working my ass off juz to pay for all my basic needs n left nth to enjoy with. i cant even afford an average good meal a day becuz i fear tt my savings r not enough for my uni or piano fees in future. u think 10bucks for a main course is cheap? it's not for me. no t at all.

all tt work in prive

well, after working so many hrs in prive, i think i'm quite familiar with the system and people there. and yes, i have been extending my shifts till late. think i'm home late like 2 am 3am for a couple of times already. guess what, there was this day where no one is accompanying me home from prive 's tranport home. felt really scared in their van.. tt dumb dumb van driver dunno the safety of gals at night n thus , dropped me at the street side near my house. if it's a place where is popular, dun think i will really mind. sengkang is a rural place n yet he can do tt , wahlao really no brain... so gerald was quite concern for my safety n actually cycled from pasir ris to sengkang with waihong just to walk me home from where the van dropped me... he's so kookoo n so cute
i guess tt's y i like to call him kookoo... hee



n there was this day when i decided to extend my shift till closing, hafiz made me this choc to drink. think he saw me pretty tired n made this 1 glass of choc for a break without asking me if i wanted it. so sweet right? hee.. n take a closer look manz...



it''s got my name written on it!! haha.. so sweet!! but some guys said it was cheesy.. wth, i think it's sweet loh.. this needs skill n some guys juz dun have it... really appreciate what he did for me



n wow... dunno y he used a martini glass for a choc drink but im fine with it. hafiz was aware tt i dun drink coffee so he made me choc instead. so kind of him right? n it doesnt taste as bad... think it's juz choc syrup n foam. but i told him next time can include sth else tt prive dun mind losing it to its part timers...



this was the end prpduct after i finished it... sigh..
now i wonder when will he be making me another glass of choc on the days i work..




this pic was taken yesterday when i met gerald's maternal relatives for mid-autumn fest celebration. as u noe, i dread to go. but for his mum's sake, i went. during the whole time over there, gerald wasnt a good host as always n chucked me aside. sigh.. waihong, y didn't u come? so bad... towards the end of the day, we all went for a pasamalan b4 they sent me home. this pic was taken n posted to show 'princess gerald' haha....




azhar made me this choc drink this time round. he's so nice to make me 1 after hearing tt i'm a lil tired n hungry during work. yup, he self-proclaim tt he's my other affair. n for tt, he's been calling me dear dear darling... eeeeeeemy backbone shivers manz... scary



n today, cui had prepare some sauces for her customers. oh shit, as i type this, i juz remembered 1 customer specifically asked for a tomato sauce n i forgot to give... oops. anyway, from tt pic can u see sth extra out of place? look closer if need..

or...

i zoom for u..

saw tt? haha... looks like shit!! hahahaha... dumb dumb cui shitting mustard in a dish

zouk!!

went to zouk on last sat night together with my bro justin and his gal frens
was quite fun but i ended up with a conclusion that it wasnt very meaningful at all
even if it's for the purpose to slack in that kind of area, i guess i still prefer pubbing more than clubbing as it's more meaningful
my bro had this event for students of SIM and it was discounted
the whole place was booked for SIM till 10pm where it'll be open for public
the theme was blink blink very very white
reason being, the SIM students will stand out more under the blacklight they installed
the view was cool but too bad my camera couldn't really catch it



n here it is, a pic of my bro and me at zouk
notice i've alr had a glass of vodka lime... still strong
n i drank the other half of my bro's... still strong manz...
im not pinkish on my cheek and tt's my real hair... not wig ah



see, my hair is real...
haha



oh oh and this gal beside me works in trueblue
her name is pooja and she's really very cute
can u believe it, she's onli 18yrs old..
oh well, it's just sad tt she's working in trueblue...
but i guess the onli reason im really staying to work there is due to carmen and pooja...
think pooja is so sad to work there since there isnt any decent workers there to really tok to
naz is juz some jerk manager while there is prabash there to assist him
naz had gotten pooja into quite a no. of troubles she's innocent in.. sigh, wouldnt like to be bullied by him
n no way m i going to serve him during work manz...








Create your own Friend Test here

i respect my frens, what abt u?

haaaaagh.... RESPECT..

for those who are my frens, i just wanna say that e frenship that we share is not coincidental and i really do treasure every single one of u..
ur every opinion or advice will not be taken lightly because i know you all cared for me in one way or another
but wat i'm trying to say here isn't about frenship but more on the respect in the frenship
i understand that all of us have become really bz with the workload we each carry. meeting up for some catch up session is pretty essential.
well... the prob is how r u going to do tt...
i hav often been neglected by my 2 good frens in church whenever they have decided to meet up on any other days
well, they often say we didn't have time to bond as much n are eager for updates...
funny how it feels so cold between us with words n yet warm when we see each other at work or in church
is it all an act of socialising?
one such incident would be today where they met up somewhere...
i would take it as... they wanna have a private time together so they didn't ask me along. which is fine by me actually cuz i respect tt every individual shud have their own personal space
but if u asked me along to meet up on a last min basis cuz i only come to know tt at tt moment, pls... dun.. dun ever tell other ppl tt u tried so hard to bond with me n blah...
really, if u really treasure some1, u will set a time a suitable location to meet up.
once again, i'm telling u this cui n nat... im not a rag or tissue paper tt you can throw around after use. nor m i always available to ur service.
honestly speaking, i really dislike the way u guys 'respects' me..
put urself in my shoes...
i'm tied down to work n bloody hell cui asked me to replace her today for work
apparently i wasnt needed due to the overstaff in prive
it's ok... we knew tt on mon, but the fact tt u nv include me in the meeting gave me an impression tt u guys have some important stuff to tok abt, which i do not wish to interfere...
u told me like today n expects me to come meet u guys up on a last min basis?
wat m i? wat m i man? u shouldn't even ask me along because, in the 1st place, it wasn't even in ur intention to include me


y m i always being treated like tt by the 2 of u? i some time ask myself, y m i so foolish?
foolish enough to actually tot highly of u guys...
i'm just a withered flower under the care of u 2
e reason im holding on is because of our long yrs frenship... how pathetic isnt it?

calculating my finance

(liabilities) things needed to pay:
- piano lesson $180
- phone bills $50
- bus/train concession $52/45
- braces $360
- monthly allowance $100 = need good food mah... 100 is quite a lot already
total: $742



(income per month) work pay:
- prive 3days a week 8hrs each shift $192 x 4 = $768
- aranda 2days a week 4hrs each shift $48 x 4 = $192
- trueblue 1day a week 4hrs each shift $22 x 4 = $88
total: $1048


savings = $1048 - $742
= $306 (have to work 4 mths to get a laptop) wahuhuhuh...


is there an easier way out to get cash? sigh...

presentation to boss in Secret Recipe

after few sleepless nights due to our project, we have finally reached the presentation day!
this is how it all goes...

last 2 days ago, i went to carmen's house for a stay over just to rush our proj
after that we head on to school for proj printing before meeting our teacher Mr Yeo for a ride to the Secret Recipe office
guess what? we all were late for the meeting. haha
anyway, we got ourselves nervous by the looks of so many people present at the table
they had the teachers of different groups to be present as well as some Secret Recipe department ppl that we had never seen before
but the sweet thing is that the CEO, our boss, helped to give a clarify background of what our group had gone through during the attachment period and sort of defended for us.
that would help in telling our teachers the constraints we had so that they wouldn't penalize us.
however, our boss tend to interrupt alot in our presentation. haha... dunno why
i just hoped that she would mean wat she asked 'why not have the group of gals manage our stall?'cuz i really wanna try manage their stall into a better 1.. argh... so want!!
anyway, heard from Mr Yeo that we did a good job.
now, i'm just hoping to get a good grade for it...


at night, carmen and i had to work in trueblue. it got suckier there...
i mean we had no more feelings for the company already, so i guess it's high time we work lesser there and put more effort in Prive! yes! can work with cui too!!
hope carmen and cui will become closer friends and everybody will become a family...
for now, i'm just pissed with ben, trueblue boss, for looking down at my mum and me yesterday
i'm giving free delivery of clothes from my mum to him and yet he can keep hurrying me to send the clothes over.
i told him my prob about my attachment and proj tt i needed time to focus on my studies instead of work. and there, he says to deduct from my mother's salary if it delays even longer or if i forgets to bring. the more i dun wanna work
in the 1st place, i dun owe him a living
second, im not paid to do this so i have no complete responsibility of it
third, how can he relate my matter with my mum's
argh.. pissing me off

and the day ended with me having a small tok with my bro justin abt the presentation i had earlier on.
it was encouraging to get such feedbacks and i'm really thankful for my brother to help me with this
i dunno how else will i handle this proj without his guide and i'm glad my group and i had finally pulled tru the 1st round


saw this video damn funny..

naked hermit crab!!

wahhhaa.. managed to caught a sight of my hermit crab changing shells...
he has been changing shells this whole day once i gave it some selections of different types of shells.
wow...
guess wat? it dare to go commando style!! whaha.. so cute

there's so much to update abt prive but right now... doing proj.
so perhaps i'll update another day

08/08/08 pics... oops.. i owe you guys these pics

these people are so sweet!! ya noe.. i was quarantine at home due to the infection of project virus that had got into me. and thus, not being able to leave my house for quite some days...


and these people...
initially suppose to meet somewhere out there
instead, they came all the way to my house just to meet up!!
they r so so so sweet....


especially this person here... name fides.
he came all the way from hong kong just to meet her fantastic fren right here in singapore...
oooo... i'm so honored... so sweet of them
