Merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!

hm.. feels weird... today didnt realli feel like christmas... i guess as we grow older, we have so much more to do and worry about, we tend to forget or neglect certain things in life... time have been flying past so fast.. i never felt christmas.. and ya.. it has christmas day has just ended like 8 min ago..

so accurately, i should say yesterday was not bad... tot i wouldnt have a christmas party again this year since chrissy had to work.. went to uncle's place.. played badminton with my little cousins.. they are so short that sometimes hitting high is equals to hitting "body shots" to me.. after tt, had a 2hr pool session with my cousins... i played against the pros.. phew... luckily didnt lose too badly since they "fang shui"... lolz... alvin's like how pro.. and serene... o ya.. she slimmed down so much.. mut be stress from NUS... muahaha.. dinner was great.. had beehoon, sambal sotong, chciken wings and sushi!!! yummy yummy!!! o.. and i made chcolate strawberries... think they were nice... i didnt even get a chance to try it myself.. by the time, i was looking for them, they were all gone... :P

granny and 2nd aunt came to play mahong with dad and nainai... i was hoping to play some mahjong.. sad sad... their bets were too high for me.. was bored... so brought the 3 chocolates i made to chrissy... he bought cherries for me!! so sweet! ya both him and the cherries.. hehe *^_^* wont forget counting down to xmas day on 24th with him after work... was so romantic.. played with candles and all... :P

alright.. tata!!!

sob sob...

fuck.. it's a fucking bad day... sorry for swearing so much.. but it sure sucks... just felt that my efforts arent appreciated... and kana bullied just becoz i'm new... sigh... i guess tt's how ur first job experience is like... pple blaming you for wad they themselves or others did wrong... pple blaming you for wad u've done wrong ( which i accept since it's my fault).. having to work 3 pple's work load when you're onli paid a humble $5 per hour... employed to be a waitress but have to cover the cashier's job.... trying to attend to your customers as fast as possible..but u're boss ask u to take ur time and "let the customers wait"... i mean come on.... if u wan to succeed in the food industry, not only ur food must be good.. service is also very important... i mena i can put myself in the customers shoes... if i'm a customer and i gotta wait for like so long just to take my order, i might as well get out of tt fucking place and go to the other restaurants along the street rite? why would i bother to wait... and the food isnt tt nice somemore... stuipd yuen yang onli open for like a month.. i believe for most of the customers, it's thier first visit.. i just feel tt first impression is very impt.. how can you not care about ur customers and make them wait... there's so much mroe to say!! it's a bloody job

come to yuen yang steam boat cum seafood restaurant!

hm.. i'm surprised that pple r interested in the restaurant i'm working in after reading my blog.. lolz... wa... busy man... especially on weekends! almost went crazy yesterday... business was so good that i guess we neglected some of our customers a little.. sorry but we're short handed... too busy!! :P

anyway, thanx "hello"... well, let me give you the details... it's along teck chye road. near upper serangoon shopping centre and kovan centre. hm.. nearest MRT is serangoon MRT station.. just 5 to 10 min walk to Yuen Yang. Or you can take bus no. 153, 80,81,82, 136 to the stop beside paya lebar post office. If you're coming from the other direction, all buses mentioned above except 136 will stop after upper serangoon shopping centre. for 136, you should alight the stop after the shopping centre and the cross roads. ( you will see a stretch of shophouses along teck chye road, before you alight) We have steamboat buffet, adult at $15.80, children at $8.00... we do not charge for children below 6 years old. There are a lot of varieties for you to choose from... crabs, fish, prawns etc... rice is included in the buffet... if you dun like steamboat, we also have alacart (how ever u spell it :P)... not to worry, it is definitely affordable... the dish at lowest price would be our soup of the day at only $2, highest is sashimi at $12... There's no GST or service charge. hehe... ok enough of advertising... so.. hope to see you soon... my frens, drop me a sms when u're coming, i'll book a table for you...

erm.. "hello"... perhaps, you may want to ask for me, xueli or shirley when you come down... :) so... hope to see you soon...

yesterday was my first day waitressing in yuen yang... in the beginning, i was like so blur.. didnt noe wad to do, didnt noe where to get all the stuff... business wasnt tt good from 6pm tp 7pm... after tt, business picked up... it was pretty fun and satisfying when i managed to persuade some customers in to try our dishes... i treated it like i'm doing charity fun fair in VJC... and well, not a bad day of coz.. just tt i had to stand for straight 5 hours... feet started to hurt after a while.. the two boss lady were very nice pple... carey- boss's daugther too... they knew tt it was my first time waitressing so they tried to teach me and encouraged me to take my time to learn.. o ya.. i have to wear this ugly grey t shirt... yuck yuck... grey shirt with red printings... *puke

softball chalet with my dear juniors

hey... had lots of fun on mon... softball chalet was cool.. for like the first time, i didnt have to prepare anything or cook in a chalet bbq... wo.. tt's realli relaxing man... even though i couldnt realli bite since i just got my braces, i did enjoy eating... o.. the chicken fillet was surprsingly soft and tender!! it's like rendang chicken burger's fillet... i love tt man.. and crab stick.. haha... coz it's so soft... jan's blood vessel in her mouth burst... so she had problems eating too... think we both felt as bad... but it was nice... with all our juniors except ber and jiuyu... hm... the chalet was pretty ulu coz it's in sentosa... there's practically no one at nite... the walk to 7 eleven was kinda far... having to walk past those deserted old houses made it seem further.. haha.. cheryl was screaming and scaring herself and the rest... hm... i think i would wanna go back to sentosa for some fun one of these days again... beach volley ball and captain ball was fun and tiring... even though we were picking ball most of the time when we played volleyball, it was pretty cool.. i would wanan realli learn how to play it one of these days... overall, the softball chalet was a success... not like the one i TRIED organising for the seniors last year... it was a total failure with single digits seniors coming... terrible seah...

hey yo...

hm... today's 8th dec.. my dad's bdae! hm... i was so busy the entire morning... woke my brother up at around 8am.. took breakfast... den we head straight for the wet market in serangoon central.. hehe... first stop was the vegetable stall.. man... i just realised i've been eating so much and i got no idea wad u call those veg... haha... had to ask the uncle to help us get those stuff according to my shopping list... den we went to buy chicken.. drumstick and wings... stupid aunty cheat my money... sold me the chicken parts at such a high price... anyway, it's pretty fun.. good experience.. i mena i've been to the market.. but with my mum buying the food... not me calling the shots..lolz..

hm.. started cooking at 10am.. haha guess how long i took.. 3 bloody hours!! cooked rendang chicken, xiao bai chai with shitake mushrooms and made these yellow unique dumplings.. hehe... fun fun.. but a lot of hard work.. the preparing part of the rendang chicken and dumpling was pretty tedious... hehe dad liked it.. so i'm happy too... :)

o o! i almost forgot.. i got a job near my place!! yeah!! working as a waitress in a steamboat cum seafood restaurant... interview was pretty easy... hm... but it's more of a part time work.. so anyone got better jobs for me?

I did the most silly thing of my year today... went to the library with my card which i ahve already borrowed 4 books with... spent like an hour there searching for SAT books and cook books.. and guess wad... I COULDNT BORROW THEM!!! argh... wad the hell.. over loan quota?!!! damn u!!! stupid!! stupid!! now i have to go like may be tml to get it again!! hopefully, i'll remember to bring someone else's card...

o ya frens frens... i havent connected to the rite part of the world ever since i left for korea and cruise... i read some of my pals' blog just now... wondering wad u pple have been doing? i dun realli noe wad to do... onli planned to go for NUS's faculty talks and start mugging for SAT...

o ya... i'm still looking for jobs.. lobang lobang, anyone got lobang?! haiz... keith got a job in a pet farm.. just herad tt he quit! MY GOD... why would anyone do tt!? being able to work around the dogs and get paid?!! he must be crazy! sigh... havent seen him for a long long time... onli sms like once in a blue moon... mostly for my "job queries"... chrissy got a job too! wth! i dun mind doing data entry for a month now... since i'll be wearing braces from the 10th onwrads... need time to get used to it first.... just read chong's blog too... not fair!! she got a job too!! i also wan!

o crap... still cant get into msn... wad's the deal man? hm... i just came back from cruise actually... finally, have time to blog... hm... let's start reflecting back about my trip to korea...

well, spent the first nite on the plane... tt was 28th dec... i wonder... should i call the travel agency a cheat or wad? the nite one the plane is counted as one of the 5 days of my trip.. crap... now it makes the holiday a bit too expensive... hm... i had a hard time trying to sleep on the plane... we travelled for like 6 hours? sit till my butt ache... it wasnt SIA.. tt's y... SIA is the best seah... e korean airplane i took has nth! no video games to play, no choice of movies to watch.. yuck yuck! but the air stewardess were surprisingly pretty... 2nd to SIA's... i wouldnt want to mention the rest tt i've been onto...

let's see... made little notes about my trip... hm... alright... We reached Ichoen Airport at around 7 plus if i didnt recall wrongly.. After clearing customs, I ran out of the airport to have a feel of how cold it is with only a thin long sleeves top on... It didnt feel as cold as I thought it would. We were welcomed by a local tour guide and a part-time photographer. I have to say the tour guide was good... He's the boss himself... business was so good that he had to stand in himself... Later in the trip, I actually learnt that the young photographer was a baseballer.. too bad we weren't able to communicate well since he couldnt speak English and i couldn't speak the Korean language.

Alright.. our first trip was to Everland. It's a gigantic park owned by LG. didnt't realise that LG is that rich. It has theme parks, a safari zoo, boat rides, big beauitful gardens, etc. Our first stop was the safari zoo. in there, animals were allowed to move around in the park specially made to look like their natural habitats... it was ironical because the animals were taught to do little tricks like shaking hands and all.. it's not all that "natural" after all..

den, we took the sky scraper... it's kinda scary if there weren't nets just right below us. it's like this metal seats long enough for 4 pple to sit on, which are hooked on these thick cables... there weren't any other forms of protection except this movable metal bar in front of u, preventing u from falling forward. the sky scraper took us to another part of the park... it's where we took this so called boat ride. our "boat" was circular, made up of 5 parts of a pie, joined up in the middle. i knew we were going to get wet when we saw pple coming back with their heads and clothes all wet. lucky me.. i onli got my legs wet... O, i took the Suspended roller coaster with my brother, stanley... tot it's the most trilling ride in the park. but we were wrong... it onli turned like 90 degrees, mostly left and right... i give it 2 out of 5 stars.. i've taken better ones...

Hm.. den comes lunch... yummy yum yum... We were served with the best pork I've ever eaten in my life... so delicious... barbecued pork... not oily... and kinda healthy considering that we were taught to wrap the piece of pork in a piece of lettuce and applying this special red sauce before sending them into our mouth...

After lunch, we went to Carribean Bay. The outdoor park was closed since it was early winter. The indoor one was fun. Singapore should have sth like this.. there were lsides and blackholes like those we used to have in Sentosa's Fantasy Island... There was this jetty jump thingy.. way too cool... o and wave pool... o ya.. and i tried swimming out in the cold. think the temperature out there was around ice point.. haha i have to admit tt it was pretty cold.. but as long as you dun come out from the pool, it's ok.. after all tt tiring running and fooling around, we head to the spa and sauna section. I was amused by the no. of spas they have. I tried the Apple, Lemon and Jade one... nice... water was realli hot... the hottest one was the Jade one... at 40 plus degrees celsius. i was red like bbq pork when i came out.. lol.. it was probably too relaxing coz by the time, i was out, my legs were pretty wobbly.. eye lids felt heavy... felt sleepy.. haha...

Then the highlight of my entire trip sort of alerted me.. it happened in the toilet.. i was walking into the bathing section when i saw a woman and her daughter standing in front of two long mirrors naked! the woman was drying and combing her daughter's hair as if no one was looking. i was so astonished.. probabaly have blushed when i walked past them, trying to keep my eyes straight in front.. later, i found out that it's a norm in korea. but of coz, i didnt follow... i was too shy to expose myself... had a hard time changing in my own cubicle... since all the koreans do that, the cubicles onli have metal shelves big enought for u to put ur shampoo bottles.

The next day, we went for snow skiing.. it's great! think it;s pretty easy to learn the basics... skiing downhill was easy... the higher i went, the faster i came down... u could feel the cold air pushing u back when u're skiing down the slope.. the sucky thing is that u have to climb all the way up. tt's the tiring part... after skiing for a few hours, i was too tired and reluctant to move myself up tt slope again...

the later part of the trip was more of sightseeing and shopping... if u wanna go for a shopping spree, i suggest u go to other countires like HK and Thailand.. korea is not the place. things there are so much more expensive... o ya... the tour guide told us that onli the rich could afford having beef during winter. pork cost 4000 won. beef cost 100 times mroe if i'm not wrong. hence, we had nth els but pork for the rest of our trip. so now.. ya.. i'm sick of pork.. miss all the fish and chicken... the onli time i had chicken was our feast in the gingseng chicken soup restaurant. wo.. tt was nice... had this gingseng chicken stew... one whole chicken just for me.. yummy..

I came back on 2nd dec. it was pretty late.. 11pm or later... had to sleep early since i hd debtak appointment on the next morning.. so ya... extracted my other 2 teeth.. so now i have 4 holes! trying not to show my teeth like usual when i smile... realli tough for me... but i think i look ok.. not as bad as i tot... haha so means i can still go out... lol.. cruise wasnt as bad as i tot too... went to the casino for the first time... won $350 the first time i placed my bet... yippee... so cool..

now tt i'm back in sinagpore, it's time to study for SAT and look for job... anyone got lobang? i realli realli wanna work ina pet shop!!!! keith gotten a job there! i'm so jealous!!!

frens? any party? come jio me?
