One successful transition! Whoopee!
Today 'down crew' again... *sigh* Adilah was off... so it was just me, peiwen, lemuel, winston, and arie... Margaret was the manager... it was cool cuz she just left us to do our own stuff... But i was kind of spaced out cuz of the lack of sleep... managed to finish my transition by 1 although i had to help clear crowd... Lucky overall the crowd wasn't that bad...
Went home with nizam and winston...
As usual...ZZZZZZZzzzzz....
Ain't he cute? *SWOON*

Things were pretty smooth-running for me today (yesterday, whatever)... the bus came when i went down, being right in front of my block... then the next bus i had to transfer to came less than 5 minutes after i alighted from the first... and i was much earlier than usual, although i am always early...Gdf was its usual annoying self... Skipped EssGra and went on to tampines central to run errands... the bus 15 came just as i reached the bottom of the stairs of the bridge... paid off my bills (woohoo! the rest of the money is mine!) and went to burger king to eat... met peiwen in between tm and cs... decided to change first and then went to catch a bus to go to work... the bus just appeared within 5 minutes... i'm a blessed child for today... met nizam on the bus... havent worked with him in a long time... awkward silence... Don't know what to talk about anymore... it's alright with the other people though... that will take time figuring out... hmmm...
Anyway, started work early although i didn't really want to, but the situation was bad... at first... but then azman aka mr v, thought he was supposed to work today and came (he wasn't supposed to), so we had a comfortable number of crew to work with... service was constantly in and i don't know what was wrong but accidents kept happening... i kept forgetting orders, azman and eva slipped on the wet floor... although i was mopping it in front of them... Pretty tiring day...
Oh and you know what, when i went to the bus station after changing my pass, the bus i wanted to take was there! Then, i didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to transfer bus whan i reached tampines... jealous right, people... but i had to go home alone today, so sad...
By the way, has anyone noticed how hot the weather has become?

Went to work as usual today... Be and margaret were there today... there were quite a few crew working in the morning... ironically it was 'down crew' during midshift... lol... oh and i fianlly got to work with jack and celine today... cool... we all thought that richard and toh were coming so everyone was doing housekeeping... i polished all the stainless steel... and i had to do the counter checklist all over again cuz i didn't record the stuff la... but i did it without the checklist after i cleared the crowd when i punched in... it's not difficult to remember, basically just stocking up, cleaning up and checking the FIFO... I try to make it a habit whenever i take over counter... but i usually ask the crew to stand by and serve, and i'll do the rest... Funny thing is, i end up serving cuz the crew just walks off somewhere and they end up backing me up... talk about reversal of roles... i mean have some sense of responsibility... if there's no one at the counter don't just walk off unless it's something important...
Urgh, then i was the last crew from opening to punch out... Winston does not count cuz he was late for 1 1/2 hours... he told me that he had breakfast before coming... OMG!!! Then anyway we went to Venezia downstairs and tried the gelato, which was pretty cheap, $4.90 for three flavors... tiramisu, belgian choc and some chocolate tasting flavour that started with 'g', i can't remember...
Oh, (geez, am i getting forgetful!) i found out that celine was my senior in tp, from applied science school...
Once again knocked out when i reached home... lol...ZZZZzzzz...

So i havent updated stuff about the goings on in my perfectly screwed up life..
So here goes
Went for medsoc tutorial yesterday during which i got a sms from Be to come as early as possible... hmm... I thought that it had to be a 'down crew' situation... I could have started work as promised at 3 if not for the bloody queue at the police pass office... i wish we could get the seasonal passes so that i don't have to waste time... but whatever... i got to work and punched in la... it was pretty pathetic, the crew... I requested for kitchen and lynn let me (woohoo!) after everyone had had their break... Lynn was the shift manager, we had atiqah and peiwen at counter, then me, adilah and jeffery in the kitchen... Don't know who top up the shortening as if it was free... it was leaking all over the place... Bloody hell... When i cook the chicken products, it overflowed into the other vats... I don't know filtering yet and i couldn't do anything about it cuz it was service in from 6pm to 10 plus... Gosh, lynn came and scolded us in the kitchen for being too noisy, that we should just do our work... Ironically, the products all went out... no one owed anything that wasn't a grill order... She scolded peiwen for nothing also... So we were all pissed in the kitchen and started being all sarcastic and stuff... We jammed the warming bin and the uhc with products... all full... so no one could complain about owing anything except grill orders...
Then the counter crew(not peiwen, she was laughing at the whole situation) pissed us off asking for the product when it was still cooking... they want raw product or what? I got 6 dippers in the uhc and u ask for 9... so have to wait la.. Then awhile later you ask for 6, so i give it to you first... the 9 piece still have to wait... u ask me why the 6 piece come out first.. Hello, you never do kitchen before is it? Use your common sense la... You say crowd cleared enough already, no need to tell us to hold(stop) product... We can think, thank you very much... Adilah was so funny, she asked the counter crew "oh hold product ar? wait ar, i come out and hold(with the hands) for you" You tell me to change glove cuz the wrapping too oily... I know, you want to wait for me to change gloves than wrap for you, there's a huge crowd behind you... I will change my gloves naturally... Thank you for reminding me anyway... You are not even a crew leader, even a crew leader will just remind the kitchen crew to change their gloves in a nicer way or whatever... This is not the first time... You are a counter crew, you mind your business at the counter first, when i walked out to get a drink... the lids and cups not stocked up, the ice and sauces not stocked up, the floor so dirty... what business have you to tell the kitchen crew to do stuff when your duties haven't been fulfilled? Even i as much as possible try not to interfere in the kitchen crew's duties if i haven't done mine... Fair enough if you have done your part and you just REMIND them to do stuff... Please watch your attitude... Know your position, please, you are not the manager... Even i and adilah as crew leaders don't stick our noses where they don't belong... Jeff and i were just sleeping volcanoes while adilah admitted to having erupted... We were all being extremely sarcastic and i was in the verge of saying F*** OFF...
Urgh... positively disgusting disastrous day...

I've been doing translations of mandarin songs by my favourite singer Jolin...
Here's one... Love In The Shape of a Heart (i don't agree with the translation the producers have made, i think it should be either Heart-shaped circle or Love in the Shape of a Circle)
You were my first love
In front of you
Practising the way i love you
I can't keep to myself
How i miss you so
If love was a dangerous arrow
I'd willingly get shot
That spring day
The day love emerged and grew
Our story is full of bright colours
I spent all of my love
Being by your side
It's obvious that love is after me
I wish i was with you in your room
Shoulder to shoulder
Sticking with you
Cheek to cheek
The connection was so sudden
on the same side
Shoulder to shoulder
Cheek to cheek
Making a wish
A cross marked on my chest
Closing my eayes and praying
That my dream will come true
Looking at the photos
I laugh in a silly way
In the church
Praying that my dream will come true
Breath misting on the glasss
Drawing a heart-shaped circle
It slowly fades away
You finally appear
Stubbornly not listening to advice
Love is dead in your eyes
Hope that this journey of love
Will last a lifetime
Using the tips of my fingers
To draw a heart-shaped circle
Saying to myself
How i wish you would appear
Making time
To memorise your face
Seriously looking through the dictionary
looking for our 'forever'
Hint Hint...heez... it's a nice song... very sweet...

I have a weird kind of memory... I remember the things only when i don't need it... When i need it, i simply don't remember... yet i also have a photographic memory... I can remember how things look like based on an image i remember... I remember the words said, the sounds and the people around... the environment... I remember the first day of secondary school, the first day of work... the things that certain people said... But that is not what hurts...
I remember the promises some people made, and committed myself, it turns out one-sided... I get disappointed...
What hurts is that i can remember the things people have done and said to me that hurt, howver subtle it may be... I want to forget, yet i can't... even when the image gets fuzzy, it is still there, along with the sounds, the things i thought... I may have gotten over the hurt, but like a scar, it will always be there, i can't let go...

So i'm finally done with the freaking marketing journals which i am so going to get a C for, on account that i procrastinated... *SIGH*
Anyway... marketing sucked today because some people were decidedly inconsiderate and illiterate towards the phrase 'group assignment'. So the marketing assignment was pretty much 90% my work... The other 2% goes to audrey for accompanying me in the lab, 2% to tracy for editing the fonts in the presentation and navigating the slides and 6% to anthony for presenting the first question... Thanks a lot for at least trying to be involved... By the way, people who read my blog, my group has five people...
Frustration frustration...

Love. It is such a relative thing. What is it? Is it the rapid beating of your heart when you see the object of your desire? Is it the sweet feeling that you get spending time with him? Is it the bittersweet feeling you get when you see him with the object of his desire (it is not you), knowing he is happy?
Love. How do people love so easily, quickly hooking up with someone else not long after a breakup? Is that real love? Why are people so afraid to show that they love someone, pushing the person away? Are they afraid of handling hurt?
I, for one, am afraid to love. I am afraid of hurt. I might seem strong on the outside, give great advice... but i am the exact opposite. I am weak. I wish someone would understand that. He who understands me is the one for me... but...

Decided to post again... this time with something i think is funny...
adilah, me and peiwen actually vaguely talked about this last saturday on the way home..
Here goes... if one day, the store didn't have crew and the managers all came down to run the shift on their own, who would be placed where based on our understanding...
Here's the list of managers...
Margaret (counter)
Belinda (PC)
Michelle (counter)
Ronald (vats)
Zainal (counter)
Lynn (lobby)
Yushan (cafe)
Aziana (greeter)
Mingru (cafe)
Jack (grill)
(hope i haven't missed anyone out)
Am i right? Wasn't too sure about some... No offence... it was just a random thought... if a fantstical day like that ever occurred...
Tell me what you think... Hehe...

Gosh! Today was such a bad bad bad ass day... I should have known when i saw that freakin' roach in the lab corridor... It got stomped on by silas... It deserved it... it was kind of stalking him... Anyway... most of the class didn't turn up for gdf (graphics design fundamentals) tutorial today... World Cup and all... I couldn't print my freakin' project and skipped half of tutorial with tracy to go to peace centre to print the bloody thing... cabbed there and back... bitched about a certain classmate and irritating taxi drivers in the cab... cab fare was relatively reasonable... 'da bao' subway from plaza sing back to school... that was pretty much the only good thing the whole day...
Went to work...was hours early as usual... hung around talking to crew and stuff... asked for anything but counter and got nothing but counter... :( am sick of counter... I am such a sucker for self torture... anyway... crew was pretty alright (although there was some unintentional rudeness going around, i just have a high tolerance for all the ridiculous stuff...) until it was time to go home... then the weirdness started... went home with taufik, adilah, mahirah and imran... they went to have a smoke then we went to wait for the bus... adilah was suddenly pissed about something that she didn't want to talk... mahirah was on the phone and then she started crying... imran looked depressed... though taufik was his usual 'mangkuk' self... I had a huge question mark... what the hell was going on? then we sat at the back of the bus as usual... at the t2 bus terminal, the bus driver came to the back and scolded us for eating and littering... we were stumped... Huh?? the thing is... though we had food in our hands, they were packed nicely and WE WERE NOT EATING... imran was on the phone for goodness sake! what is wrong with public transport drivers??? Discrimination, that's what it is... we may be wearing mcd uniform, but we so do not eat and litter! customers buy mcd food and they eat in the bus and litter... Adilah got extra pissed and i got a strong feeling she's gonna blog about this in a not-so-friendly manner... i was like 'chill, people'... BUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! why do they think that mcd crew are gangsterish people with vices and who litter? THAT IS SERIOUS BS!
These people have got some self-reflection to do... eurghh...

I was pretty much running on autopilot mode yesterday... I looked so horrible in the morning yesterday that i put full make up on! Gosh, i don't usually put on make up when i know that i am going to do kitchen/ transition, i mean, what's the use of looking good when all you're going to face is the grill, vats and the wash basin... But i did it cos i got a huge shock when i caught a glance at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth...
Margaret was the manager on shift for opening... haha... she was so funny... we always have mock arguments especially with adilah... Kisses to her for helping me with transition... especially with taking the frozen products from the friggin' freezer...-18 to -23 degrees if i remember correctly... It's hell for me cuz i am super afraid of the cold... managed to finish transition by 12.30pm... Woohoo!
Was already acting loony from lack of sleep... I took over the kitchen when adilah went home and then there was service in... asked winston to run grill for me cuz i wasn't so fast with grill... all the big macs and cheeseburgers... Lack of sleep does 'wonders' to you... managed to handle it though...
Biggst irony of the day... Managers always put me at counter (I admit that counter is my forte, i can handle any kind of customers) and then yesterday i was put in the kitchen ALONE! HUGE QUESTION MARK! haha... These things always happen to me... oh well, it's good training, i must say... I'm progressing pretty well...
Funny question of the day: Aziana asked me if i was in love... yeah i am... WITH MYSELF! i guess it's because i was acting funny and all cuz of lack of sleep...
Helped to train a malaysian crew called jian wei for counter... he was so shy! cute... but that's not going to impress me... then i punched out and helped aziana with the uniform cupboard... she treated me to a medium cappucino which looked really nice (well done jeffery!) ... we met up with adilah and peiwen who came back from geylang just to take the bus back... no idea what they were thinking... but anyway we bitched about the indonesian crew which we were not supposed to as crew leaders but whatever, we're humans too...
Gosh they can be a huge headache, only hana and eva really met expectations... the rest were irresponsible (i won't say lazy) and really rude sometimes...oh and always complaining that they were sick... headache, pms, whatever! i work when i am sick too... it's hard, being much younger than them (about 5-8 years, no less!), to tell them to do stuff... but even calling for products is such a pain cuz they take forever to come up with it! it doesn't help that we have the stupid 60-second game...
Knocked out when i reached home... ZZZZzzzzzzz...

I'm currently testing out new ways to work midshift on fridays and be able to wake up on saturday for opening...
Tonight, it will be staying awake...
So, today (friday, i mean) was a hoot at work...
Sales was pretty slow... Yushan was back at work... and dancing, as usual...
Dance is cool... and lots of fun actually... But i guess i learn in a different way... Yushan tried to teach me something.. i forgot what it was... usually i learn pretty fast but i guess i wasn't in the right 'mode'... i just learned jolin's dancing diva chorus and was more into the hip hop meets shakira sort stuff... anyway i remembered parts of it when i reached home and i could do it... I learn dance in that i watch and practice the steps mentally then actually do it...
Lynn was in a pretty good mood too... she was pretty nice today... i mean she's really a good person, just that she tends to get flustered when a rush comes in...
that is when the crew start to get wary of her...
The customers were really quality ones today, not much of those irritating ones that pick on this and that... Relaxing day... though i've got a headache, probably from lack of sleep... I had yan jun and taha with me at counter, taufik, agus and adi in the kitchen, 2 new malaysian crew called patrick and kind... they were pretty cool... The closers were on time today, so i managed to get off on time today... Woohoo...
I've been getting asked strange questions... i mean those out of the blue...
Strange question today: Nizam asked me how long i have known him... well, i knew him since i joined mcd... but as in like really talked to him, i guess it was when i started woking more regularly, about november, after my 'o's...
I wonder why people ask me these questions... weird... I mean, i'm usually the weird one who asks these stuff... the tables are turned i guess...
Oh, i noticed that apart from the managers, i was the only female crew on the shift today...
The eternal battle of the sexes...*sigh*
song time! *underneath your clothes*
You're a song
Written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong
'Cos this might sound
To you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts
Go hiding
And right under your clothes
Is where I find them
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
'Cos of you
I forgot the
Smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of
Reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We'll still belong
To each other
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
I love you more than all
That's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathin'
You know it's true
Oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady to her good manners
I'm tied to this feeling
Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl honey
Underneath your clothes
Wah-oh oh oh oh
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things
I deserve
For being such
A good girl
Dream of the day the one will appear... *sigh* or at least make the first move... I'm shy when it comes to stuff like this... I don't know what to do... So much for being straightforward on every other aspect... *SIGH*
Tonight, it will be staying awake...
So, today (friday, i mean) was a hoot at work...
Sales was pretty slow... Yushan was back at work... and dancing, as usual...

its funny how one can just drift from day to day without having accomplished anything significant...
Like how one is supposed to finish say, a brochure for a graphics design project yet not do anything on it till the last minute...

Cool medsoc lesson today... but it's pretty random...
I, as usual, will talk about, duh, WORK!
I lugged my humungous cldp in an equally humungous backpack together with my uniform and medsoc stuff... i felt as if i was back in secondary school... Gosh they weigh a ton!
I went into the transit lounge and saw that Quickbites was finally open! Yay! Means i can pretty much slack around today... I couldn't sent Hana and Maya off today cuz of school... Boo... But i heard that everyone else who mattered was there... am going to resolve to make time to send off Agus and Adi (21st July) and Arie and Eva (22nd Aug, i think)...
So, margaret saw me when i went to store... What was the deal with so many managers? Four! And there wasn't even a management meeting... anyway i got loaded with the task of STing chocolate syrup from store to the cafe at Tampines interchange... i didn't mind, got a green tea for it anyway... the manager at Tamp looked surprised to see someone in casual clothes delivering the stuff... I went with Arie...
Then i went back to store... and Aziana asked me to punch in early, so i decided to have my meal first, then i punched in at 4.45pm... Some quarrel broke out among the indo crew that Arie cried and fainted... So i ran kitchen for awhile till they settled their problem... I'm just a kid, i don't want to get involved... then i did my pre-shift for counter... just cleaning and stocking up... forgot the coffee brewer though... but i seem to have the memory of a fish for such stuff... it even took me half an hour to remember i wanted to mop the floor, before the rush came in...
Heard some good news that some people were going to get promoted... Kudos to them and hard work! I'm rooting for you guys...

I am such a pathetic piece of crap!
So i woke up late this morning, my father woke me up... I knew i was going to be late for tutorial so i decided to skip it... didn't even bother to go see the doctor even though i had a headache, gastric and feeling giddy and nauseous... I don't know how one can feel all that at the same time but i did... probably because it was the first day of my period (geez...) which i found out later and being rudely woken up by my father... who was nagging at me early in the morning for not setting the clock properly... The clock stopped at 5am for goodness sake, how was i to know? My parents somehow expect me to know everything... I am smart enough thank you, but i am so not a genius ok...
I was really pissed with myself and the weather turned hot so i had time to kill before going to work... so i went to watch a movie ALONE just to amuse myself... PMS is such a spendthrift... Anyway, i watched Just My Luck... Lindsay Lohan was awesome and Chris Pine was sooooo cute... McFly is my new crush... Argh... I am such a freak... The movie was pretty good and funny, it made me laugh real bad... downside: it is not so memorable... to me anyway...
I reached store at 2.30pm... Real early cuz i start only at 6pm... So i kinda just hung around and chatted with Nizam (i accomplished my secret mission) and then the rush came in so i started work... Real tiring... Non-stop action... We ran out of milk which Be went to buy... and ran out again and juliet went to buy milk... Pathetic... But that's because the Quickbites downstairs closed for renovations so... heard they were going to open in a day or two, by which the crowd should not be that bad... Oh and i worked with Pi Kuang for the first time at cafe... Cool guy to talk to... but try not to be a kan cheong spider... relax...
So that was my day...
oh i forgot to add... i got my GEMs collar pins!!! I know i sound like a nerd for loving my job too much... But my collar pins are just so cute!!! Going to put them on my pencil case... for attending the GEMs workshop i got a swell ez-link card... with the 10 GEMs on it... But i can't use it if i want to use my student concession...:( Well it's cool anyway... haha... I'm am so happy...
Oh my God... PMS is talking... I have mood swings...

Friday...
Did i get the title spelt right? Oh, anyway... I skipped journ lecture on friday cuz i was so tired... only went for marketing tutorial where i the stuff that mr toh taught us gave me lots of inspiration for the marketing project... felt hungry and went to the jupiter cafe to eat... fish and chips with a blueberry italian soda float... yummilicious... I know it's kind of not worth it to buy an italian soda float but i just love it...
Saturday...
Another sopping wet day as i traversed through my transition... I reached store at 6.30am as usual... to my horror, cafe was in a mess and margaret and eng hong were there... a bit of a rush... I understand that eng hong has to help close the stuff at main store and cafe, so i didn't really blame him... it's just that orders have to be taken properly and served in order to avoid confusion... oh well, i helped eva clean up till about 8.30am before i went into kitchen to do my transition... Special hugs and kisses go to vivian and adilah for helping me with it... anyway, i went to run counter after transition... I'm so damn tired of counter and having to serve customers... but it wasn't for very long so i guess it was ok... stayed back to get some lunch from cafe (chunky chicken and mocha frappe!!!) then adilah and taufik came down to join me... adilah was helping Be to fill in the managers' schedule... Be came down to do the crew scheduling and i did the highlighting of the greeting slots... like anyone does it anyway... we had fun bantering about stuff... Be is just so funny sometimes... She made me sign a contract to finish my cldp bu july or forfeit my voucher...:@
went home at slept at 7plus...
Sunday...
woke up at 9.30am... can you imagine? 14 hours! Boy i must have been burnt out without knowing it... anyway reached store at 1.15pm... took a cab there just to amuse myself... the cabbie forgot to turn on the meter till we almost reached the expressway so i got about a 30-cent discount... I looked at the schedule and saw that azman was on mc... so i guessed it was me at cafe with my sista jie min... yayz... but i ran counter and lobby till 5pm first... Me and jie min caught up with a lot of gossip... found out some stuff and practiced my journ reporting skills... hehe... Secrets secrets... i can so be an investigator... i also found out that i have got a terribly accurate sixth sense... Gosh... anyway... we ridiculously ran out of tomatoes, chicken mayonnaise, chocolate syrup, mango tango, orange juice, evian water and milk for the coffee, iced latte, iced chocolate and double chocolate frappe!!! Geez... Cafe can close down already...
