[NYP Package Just Brings More Troubles]

Dear blog,

Wow its been a while since I last blog. So since it's the weekends and I have some time on my hands, I shall blog now. So basically me, my dad and mum is at a Thai restaurant ATM waiting for the food to arrive. So had to run all the way to the serangoon community club to get my sim pass for the CPF pass for my enrollment into NYP.

So after the package arrived, had to rush to get the medical form completed by the GP at bishan. And at the same time had to get 2 jabs recommended by the doctor, one for flu and the other is vaccine for pheumonal. After the checkup had to rush to Ang Mo Kio for my x ray report. Met Aaron there lmao and pretty much all youngsters that were there were holding the NYP package too lol. So that's for today and yesterday. Let 's go back to Friday!

So on Friday I returned to the unilever branch to help out for the day. Turns out staff of unilever and staff of KPMG are having some conflicts. And basically there were all gossiping crap that didn't interest me, thus I find it not worthwhile to mention it here =)

AND I will be quitting my job soon and work with Elgin at one of the bars at Raffles called Red Lantern or something. So why are they called Red Lantern I wouldn't know, but their pay is higher and of course I'll go for the higher paid job. Talking about jobs, it seriously takes patience to blend in and start learning to enjoy the job. What's the point of switching jobs every now and then?

Basically in my one and the half month of working in Expressoul, I've learnt almost everything there. From being a Barista to a Bartender. :p it's illegal I know haha XD
So things that I have learnt:
1. Knowing the difference between a Cuppucino and a Latte
2. Knowing what are the types of coffee
3. Learning to use the plunger machine to make coffee
4. Learning how to appreciate a cup of Expresso
5. Learning how to wash damn lot of plates within an hour
6. Learning how to steam the milk so that it won't have a burnt taste
7. Mastering the art if latte drawing or rather Latte Art
8. Learning a little bit on how to be a bartender
9. Knowing how there are damn lazy co- workers who would push all the dirty jobs to you
10. Knowing that I will never ever go back to work in F&B line
And The List Goes On.....

It's sure is surprising how working really really makes you aware of how important money is. And yes I've finally
Learnt that. So I'll be ending here now

[Shapers Pie ?_?]

Dear Blog,

Its basically again the weekends in which I absolutely love... Hmm so let's start from Friday... Friday was work as usual, in which Danny came and chase us to leave.. So Benjamin drove me home in his van as his house is quite near to mine, and yea nothing special happened.. Oh yea Friday was also Wintson last day at KPMG clubhouse, so he specially cooked for us fried rice with some leftover meat for Dee and Me during lunch time... The taste was pretty good... Jin De Liao Chu Fang, Shang De Liao Tian Tang... That's what he told me... So I need to learn cooking too? Haha.

Oh and on Thursday, Sebastian was writing the lunch menu on the black board for that day, and he spelled Shepherds Pie as Shapers Pie... Joke... Then those Angmohs were like what's that?? Shapers Pie?? and Sebastian was like "oh it's Shepherds Pie..." Lmao the Angmoh was like i see "i thought the pie when consumed gives you a nice body shape" haha...

So Yesterday went to watch 172 Hours, created into a film from the novel "Between A Rock And A Hard Place" So the film is actually about Ralston's experience being trapped in Blue John Canyon in the Utah desert and how he was forced to amputate his lower right arm with a low-quality multitool (a dull knife) in order to free himself after his arm became trapped by a boulder. [Extracted From Wikipedia]

And yes that is the most memorable part of the movie... Watching Aron cutting of his arm with an army knife... Watching him break his bone and cutting of the veins and nerves and stuff... Hehe bloody gory...



And yes later going for mass later at 5.30pm.. Most likely gonna get some @Cash at the same time for my Audi mark ^^ so I'll end here, see you

And in the end 30 plus people arrived only. Lame man... And tonight isn't that busy, dun know why had to stay there man@_@

Hmm today John and Sebastian got into some argument and John was like I'm gonna quit this stupid job tmr. Today is my last day:<. Haha and ya so I don't really know if it's true anot, but I hope he doesn't. Although he isn't perfect like everyone else, he still treatse pretty nicely and yes, it's fun to work with people who treats you nicely^^

Today while doing the dished with Vincent, he was like
Telling me all about his army life and stuff. He was in the Guards unit, which according to him is second to the Commando unit... Which, is pretty good. So I'll probably end up in pular tekong confirmed by him---___---man that place is scary from what I heard.

Anyways, now I'm gonna get a lift from Vincent home. Man I'm so tired now...

[Rudolph The Reindeer Or ReinDolph The RudeerO.o]

Dear Blog,

So it's finally the weekends, a nice break from the busy and chaotic weekdays~
Hmm I guess I'm stuck at KPMG now >.< Which isn't what I had wanted... Oh well I guess not everything always go with how you want it to turn out.. And basically next week onwards we will be start charging for all beverages and food... Or and friday was easier to handle the crowd when Bernice and Vincent arrived... Thank God~~ Danny too decided to change the way we handle the customers..
Earlier on we used to take all orders and have them wait for the food to be ready... But now Danny told us to take only a few orders at a time and complete them before taking new orders... This way if the customers want to queue and wait, that's their problem.... As many customer were complaining that the food takes too long to arrive... Man it's already free and you still want to bloody complain???!

Now after a week of opening, things are almost settled there at KPMG. Buph and me is part of the working crew there... More will be coming in soon there I guess... Danny is only stationed there for a short period of time only though... Oh yea and John stationed at the bar =)

Damn and my pay cheque is already 1 week late man... ;(
Oh and working there too has taught me many things too though... Buph even taught me a little coffee art, making hearts.. Here's a failed one... ;P


I meant to make a heart, but it turned out to be more of a tulip flower... Damn


Argh and my legs are so tired from standing the whole day.... ~_~ They should put chairs behind the counter or in front of them... Whenever I want to have a seat, I have to walk all the way to the bar... Geez

Lastly, today Darren and Yifeng sms-ed me in the afternoon if I wanted to go watch movie at 4.15 pm... Lmao And I only saw the message at 10 pm today.... >_> Joke man, srsly joke... If not I could have some fun outside.. Opp and my mum bought a pretty nice bracelet for me today too, black and sliver.

I WANT TO GO BACK UNILEVER TO WORK!

[KPMG You're So Damn Busy And Draining]

Dear blog,

wanted to post yesterday, but I couldn't keep me eyes open to complete the entry, so I'll write one today.

Yesterday was my first day at the new outlet KPMG ClubHouse... Surprising it wasn't as bad as I expected, but if given the chance to choose, I'd still choose to work in Unilever ^^

So basically Danny was also working his ass off during lunch time.. His coffee making skills are what you would go "W..O..W" after seeing it. Damn I want to do coffee art as good as him too... He drew rabbits, teddy bears, heart, leaves and all kinds of shapes and sizes. Sebastian told me that loving coffee was the first step to making good coffee... Hmm, the thing is I'd choose Tea over Coffee though ;P

Oh yea and the bartender John smashed 6 bottles of wine in front of one of the heads of the company... Lmao~_~ Sebastian became so "du lan" he was banging the pitcher as he made the coffee.. Dude dun spoil the friggin pitcher man!

And today, Danny brought in sandwiches and rice in too. That guy has only 2 friggin hands plus Lita and 'D' and Me which was damn shorthanded... Lmao we are already up to our neck with coffee alone, but no he had to bring in food too. Considering that all items is on the house, Singaporeans being the bloody kiasu race crowded in the whole clubhouse during lunchtime. Man, 'D' and Danny were making the coffee, Lita preparing the rice and pasta, and Me being the waiter and the one preparing the sandwiches. Hello? 1 waiter for a clubhouse? Imagine what hot soup you're in.. Recruit more workers man!!! Stingy gits..

Oh and coincidently, Danny and me both had a little injury with the knife on the left hand. Heh I was cutting the bread into half, happily sawing through the flour and vegetables meat and.....flesh>_> Omg. Lmao but Danny's one was worse, bleeding through the whole hour whenever pressure is not applied. Tomorrow will be my 3rd day there, I really hope more helpers would come. I really do.. I'm so damn tired man...

Danny told me yesterday that he would need me here for a week... O.o I'm so hopping that I can go back to Unilever... I like that place man... Even with lunch hours, its NOTHING compared to here in KPMG..

FREE FOOD = DAMN LOT OF CHEAPOS

And seriously man, when we ran out of milk, and could only give away black coffee, Americano and Expresso, they were like "What?! You're the only ones in Singapore making coffee without milk..." And the later he came back for a Long Black... Please man, StarBucks is just beside us! No kidding StarBucks is just next door... Want a Latte Or Flat White, just go to the damn next door... Some people even decide to wait for the milk to come from our Changi branch...~_~

Man raffles are all people who are mostly better off in financial issues and stuff.. And yet the don't even one to pay for just a cup of coffee.. And this pair of guys came in 4 times, bloody thick-skinned... morning for coffee, lunch for rice and sandwiches, late afternoon coffee again, and evening for dinner.. LMAO.. Please camp in there pls.. You can eat all the frozen meat in the fridge too ^^

Hmm yea that's pretty much everything that happened for the past few days. Gtg see you XD

[Hey Is That Guy A Kid Or A Child? O.o]

Dear blog,

the excitement and craziness of Chinese New Year is finally coming to an end. So all we have to do is to wait for next year^^
That is if the world doesn't end in 2012.

So after adding up the late red packets that came after the first day, I received a total of about $550, which is a BIG improvement from last year =) Hmm Im still missing one of my uncle's one which he will give today as he is holding a brithday party for his daughter at the same time this evening... Though I will not be going ;P

Hmm today's Clan War was cancelled due to CNY celebrations and thus I will be playing with pubs again... =(
For Audition, Isabella should be back from her camp anytime soon, and yea, guess the fam will be a little more lively by then.


Oh and "Kiba" is a really cool anime. You should watch it. Cool Storyline and action-packed. Awesome stuff. It's really a combination of Pokemon, Bakugan though this anime came out before Bakugan O.o
I wanted to put up the opening from youtube, but is seems there are some errors so I'll just put a picture of it.


Hmm Keona told me that programming itself is really hard and that doing games here in Singapore has no future... Lmao making me worried even before I start the course. Hmm I guess I'll branch out in the future O.o

Anyways I'll end here because I'm really pissed with my internet bug~_~ I had to rewrite the whole thing twice because it was erased... Idiotic man... USE FIREFOX from now on. Internet Explorer sux la. See you.

[Happy Chinese New Year]

Dear blog,

I've just returned home from all the visiting and such... So basically we went to my mother's family side first at Tampines which is her eldest brother's house. So basically we watched a video of my parent's wedding day, which was actually a recording converted to DVD which definately; was much clearer then that of a machine produced in the 1990s... So I know it's weird, but I wasn't not aware of the date of my parent's wedding day until now.

3rd of March 1990... which marks this year their 21st year of marriage =)
And they courted each other for 12 years before getting married O.o *Pure Awesomeness*

So the entire video lasted almost 2 plus hours as it was ther recording of the entire day compress together. Like fetching the bride, going for mass, taking pictures all over singapore and the wedding dinner. It's feels kinda weird looking at your parent's being 21 year younger. Lmao its a BIG difference.

Right so after that we went to my father's family side which was located at Hougang Ave 8. Man I was in for a shock when I went there. Wess and Rachel, 2 of our closest cousin from our childhood were there. And the situation there was really awkward at the moment. We used to play together alot and they were often staying overnight with me and my sis. But many unfortunate things happened and we were seperated quite suddenly and lost contact with them for a few years. So when they were there, wow it's like you're happy but at the same time, you don't realy know what to say... *Speechless*
So we ended up not saying anything, with Wess playing cards, me and my sis watching television and Rachel just hanging around. Man nnow that I think about it, I wished I'd said something.

So yea after that the food delivery man called and we had to rush home to collect the food from him. Hmm lastly, I think my red packets totalled up to about several hundreds... As Usual XD

Hmm later my father's brother will be coming with his kids and wife, and yea we are so gonna DoTA! So I'll end here

See you...

[GIRL=Guy In Real Life O.o]


Dear blog,

Today is certainly not a busy day at work. Due to Chinese New Year just 2 days from now, most of the staff are already gone on leave. So did the cafe store closing with Ina at about 6.00pm. I was shocked when Ina asked my to be her witness and I was like witness what? O.o Turned out it was the income for the day, which she left it in the safety deposit box in the office. Lmao that's weird.

Since tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the store will only be opened for half day, thus I will not be working tomorrow. Damn! I will have to wait till next week to get my pay.

Oh yeah and tomorrow my Auntie will be having the reunion dinner with us as her husband will not be home due to his work, which he have to fly around alot. So my father was like "Let's invite her here!" So, we will have 1 extra adult and 2 teens and 1 kid around the dining table. Keep in mind that the dining table isn't that big man =.=

And yes I will also be going back to school with YiFeng and Elgin and the usual group of friends for Chinese New Year celebration. So yea... I don't know if I'm delighted or not to go back to Holy High. Since my last year there was nothing more then a mess....

Oh and did I say that i was going to Nanyang Polytechnic? XD
Haha man its really funny because my sister is also studying there. Well that's not really the funny part, but rather because we got into the same school.
PSLE score: 237 which is EXACTLY same as my Sister.
School: Nanyang Polytechnic. Again same haha.
Man that's such a unique coincidence =)

Lastly,
Happy Chinese New Year Guys!
