►ExPEriEncE fRom wOrkINg...

i've just started working for barely a month...but i think, its really not easy to work...its damn tiring ah!!no joke. ever since i started working, i think all my sleeping, eating and playing timetable all changed. i've also become plain lazy to even start on anything that i promised myself to...oh well, think got pros and cons la. learnt quite a bit from working too...=p

1. dun be afraid to ask for what u want. customers are always right. if the workers dun agree, look for the manager!!!managers will always try to please them to prevent complaints!!haha

2. Some aunties are damn impatient! next time when u become an auntie, please dun keep rushing ur orders. WAIT.

3. If u seem to be waiting for something for quite a long time, especially food. Ask for it...cuz, ur order could have been missed out. so just ask nicely...=) but please dun ask every 5 mins ah, damn irritating..just ask once will do..at most, twice.=p

4. please spare a thought for the waitress/waiter!!they are not superman, give them some time to attend to ur request!

5. it would be good to thank the waiter/waitress by his/her name! cuz, for me, i think its really a kind of encouragement!...

6. dun scold the waiter/waitress who attends to u when u get pissed. cuz it might not be his/her fault. He/she just happened to be the next one serving u after the previous one(the one who made the mistake).

oh well, just too much things to be mentioned. but i guess thats what working life is. to be blamed when its not ur fault, and get scolded for nothing, yet cannot say anything. guess ur tolerance level just gotta be damn high to survive in this working society. no rank + no tolerance = no position in the working society.

also, must really know how to plan ur time well. if possible, meet up with ur friends for lunch b4 work or what for a small chat?..really makes a difference! =p if not ah, ur life would be damn boring and totally cut off from all ur friends. yea. i'm changing job soon! yeah, want a new experience..hee =p looking forward to my new job!

►someone cares!

haha whiner is here again, but not here to whine today but to tell u guys how great mothers can be. ha, although mums can be super naggy, irritating,untolerable and unbearable, they still care so much nevertheless. well, come to think of it, i always complain that no one understands and knows how tough my work is, but in fact i think my mum does. realised that every night when i get home, i'll talk to her about work. telling her stuffs about funny customers and times when i get scolded. everday, my dad will call me to make sure i caught the last train to get home...and they'll try to leave some food for me, being afraid that i starve myself...this morning, as usual, mum asked me what time i ending work. i told her and asked her to come eat at the oulet that i'm working at. and guuess what she said?..she said, 'dun want la, wait i see the manager scold u, i go scold him and we end up quarreling how!?..' u know, at that moment, i felt llke a loved and protected kid. a real nice feeling.=p

►my NeW baO Bei..!

hohoho...i've got a new bao bei!!my new 'chicken little' soft toy! haha its so damn cute lah! i simply love it!!hee..

but on the other hand..i'm feeling really lost. sometimes i just feel so alone. isit me or isit true? and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger each time i hang out with my friends or when i miss them. suddenly, i feel that i seem to lost track of everyone's life...even my own one. i dunno who to turn to when i really need one to. dunno who to share my joy with when i want to. sometimes, i just need one who really understands me, who stands by me and misses me! hmm, besides him i mean.

i used to have many friends. so many that i'm so happy with my life. i need friends. i dun want to be alone. i hate to be. but where have all gone to? sometimes, i just wanna get someone out for lunch. isit that hard to? perhaps? or perhaps its just me. i'm so tired of having to msg my friends first to tell them that i miss them. i have no time and energy to do that nowadays also. work is driving me crazy. no one knows, no one cares.

stop whining bren...argh.wadever.
so tired. so lost. so confused. so unhappy.

►Back to reality...

yea finally! OFF day for me to rest and blog..haha and my comp siao siao one...past few days internet down today suddenly ok already..oh well, but its a good thing anyway...

The break to Krabi was great! i simply love the way the thais lead their lives. No hurry, take it easy. THATS LIFE. haha, TIRED singaporeans will sure love the life there. great beaches, good food, wonderful company...what more can u ask for??

FIRST DAY
totally excited for the 6 day break. blur ziwan appeared at boon lay station at 7.05am when we were supposed to meet at 7.45 at jurong east!!!haha. oops...and at the airport, something really funny happened. a story among me, ziwan and mr chan!! <--our bedtime story.. to know more, ask us!! plane rides are scary. everytime the plane goes up or down suddenly, i just felt like my heart is jumping out! haha i still prefer singapore airlines so so so much more than tiger airways! a lot more things, but lazy to mention, nothing much anyway.

SECOND DAY
a day of kayaking...to many caves and lagoons..good workout man!! would have been better with a speedboat!!! then no need kayak so hard! haha but, the scenary was excellent!nature is so wonderful and amazing...the mountains are sooooo BIG while man is sooo small...dun ever forget to try out the echo thingy ya??haha damn fun! and if u dunno how to do it, ask our dear mr. ho how to do it..! he will be glad to demostrate to u with his 'wowoo wowoo yeayea....i love u more than i can say!!!.........' hahaha...

oh something 'terrible happened' that day! was waiting for our transport to come and i was feeling really bored and decided to join the peeps playing frisbee just outside the hotel...i was just screaming out to them that i want to play and before i could even finish saying...xieheng threw the frisbee over me and there it flew, over my head and the next moment, 'plaiang...' the glass lamp broke! i felt 'uh-oh'!!!i guessed he felt worse! but we all end up laughing! i wonder why..haha but luckily we din have to pay for it!!!

THIRD DAY
rockclimbing!have u ever climbed a natural rock?or err natural 'wall' whatever u call that. haha its really quite different from the normal man made rock walls. natural rocks have different grips, different ways of climb. one wall could have like only one or two grip for the one whole meter??haaha yep. challenging!
-its not about reaching the top then can u talk about success.its the process, the courage to even saying YES to challenging the wall that u never thought u could accomplish...'-

Abseiling. oh eek. i'm really scared of abseiling. haha. but once u've tried, think its not that tough after all.

dinner was great. cheap and everyone at my table was full....AND it was a great night of gossiping over dinner with 2 J1s and other 2 J2s.hahaha so fun...

FORTH DAY
island hopping! wonderful and excellent day spent. haha. nothing was planned to be done except just travelling on the speedboat to 4 islands and that at one of them, we'll do snorkelling! yea. snorkelling was a great experience! quite sad that the snorkel no more anti-fog le and everything seems quit blur. also, the island we went to have quite limited fish. ahah yeap. but it was a good experience afterall. will never forget how the fish swam to my hand to eat the bread!!their little mouths biting me, so cute!

a day of frisbee as well. used to think that frisbee is boring. but not at all now. its actually quite fuN! i was very very lousy, but at leat for now, i know how to throw the frisbee properly!!and how to catch it as well!! not very pro tho. thanks to those who patiently taught me how to. =p
-learn to teach pateintly. instead of making urself unhappy and the other lose interest, might as well make both happy and with one more person with the same interest as u?-

FIFTH DAY
a day of shopping...tiring, but FUN! realised that my bargaining skills not bad wor!!!!!!!!!!!hee

SIXTH DAY
heading home. how sad. time flies. the great break just ended so suddenly. i wished i could have a longer one. fought with mr ho for the window seat. and the wonderful plane ride i had made the whole 'fight' worthwhile!hahaha.the view from up there is really spectaculating.yi ji bang!! but when the plane landed, i knew i was back to reality. sad.
