Tired!

Im too tired to blog, too tired.
So let's have a quick update on my all too fantastic life now (hehheh).

Besides being a cashier at Yummy Yummy Cafe in The Great Escape, I'm also doing Landscaping stuff in the park to earn more $$. It's no easy job watering plants too, the hose is so heavy and you'l get all dirty and messy from the soil and dirt. But it's a good experience, money is not easy to be earned leh!

I'm really tired now, my eyelids are falling down. Byebye.

Customers are always right. Yes Sir, I'll settle their crap.

What are some people thinking of?

I had one customer who came up to me and ask 'You charge 4 freaking dollars for one regular soda?'
What am I supposed to say? Yes Madam, we charge 4 freaking dollars for a regular soda.

Then, when I suggested to her to get the value cup which has free-refills the entire day, she exclaimed 'I'm not gonna pay $12.99 for a plastic cup.'

Then when she finally decided to get a regular soda, she complained why didn't the cup have a lid. My supervisor nicely explained that we go lid-less due to green awareness, she exclaimed again, 'I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!'

I should be the one who can't believe it. Some people just love to complain.

Another customer requested for a refund for the chicken strips he ordered just because the strips were in dinosaur shaped instead of regular chicken strips.
Hello? Aren't they all just chicken? You mean chicken in shapes of dinosaurs taste like dinosaurs instead of chicken?

Some people are more than unreasonable.

Terrible.

yummy yummy cafe :)

This is dumb.
I finally have time to update my blog, and the reason to why I have time is because I left my key in the room before I left for work and am now locked outside my own room.
Thankfully there's a kitchen that is always open and there's wifi around, or else I'll really go bonkers waiting for my roommates to come back in this mad hot temperature.
Well let's talk about today at work. It's my first cashiering day and it's really not so good. I did tell them that I'm not good at counting but they still put me at the counter anyway. I had a hard time familiarising myself to the cash register and had an equally hard time counting those pennies, nickel and dimes. Whoo, thankfully the supervisor is really nice and helped me out whenever I needed help (which was almost the whole time!). Then, halfway through my shift, they said they needed people to clean up the looney tunes cafe, so they sent me and this cook named Colin down. We were practically cleaning through inches thick dust and dirt! How gross! though it was really tiring and messy, it was fun and really interesting and I did really enjoy myself today.
The only thing that I'm hoping for now is that my roommates to return fast and open the door for me, or else I'll have to sit in the kitchen and be an extra while people are busy cooking their dinner!
:P

:D

Haven't been blogging much, not because I don't want to, but because Blogger is a bummer and it's running super slowly and taking forever to load a photo. I waited and waited until my eyelids fall, and not a single photo is being uploaded, what is this?

Anyway, life is simply too exciting to be wasted in front of the laptop now. There's so many things out there for me to see and experience! Yeah!

So, see you Internet, hello life!

I'm lovin' it... just that there's no Internet.

Waddup yo!!!

I've been in America for around 5 days already! Everything has been great besides from the crazy weather, the lack of Internet and no proper meals... Sounds bad? NO!

This country is nice, people are friendly, and I'm loving Walmart!

Woohoo!

Internet is dying soon, so I'm gonna go offline already.

Till then:):):)

Excitement fills me:)

Woooooo! I'm all excited for my trip to the States! It's going to be a three-month period away from home, but I'll be fine! Home is always a phone call away! Hmmm.. Just wondering what would it be like to spend more than a day on the plane... Will my butt be numb from sitting? Hahaha. I'll update my blog as frequently as I can! (hoping there's wifi around!) heehee :D

Woots!

...and we eat and eat and eat :)

Have been busy these days meeting up with friends, preparing for my trip and eating (I know I'm a glutton, but I don't care).
Met up with Berlyn and Nanxin yesterday, ate dinner at a Thai restaurant near Bedok interchange. It's called Nakhon Kitchen, and serves authentic Thai food. Even the drinks they have are from Thailand, the glass Coke bottles and Thai Soya Milk from Thailand. Shiok shiok.

Then today, I met up with Wei Lin and Cheryl after making a pact to eat French cuisine after the exams.
We ate at Canelé at Paragon.
They gave me a belated birthday present too!!!


It's a musical jewellery box with a spinning ballerina.
Although it's not a very ME thing, I still like it a lot. It's pretty :) Hopefully I'll make full use of this jewellery box and keep my jewelleries neatly organised. Hehheh.
  :)
 FOOD!



Desserts! 
Black forest cake. 
So sinful! But NICE:) 
Macaroons 
YUMMY:) 

Hmm, maybe like what Melissa said, I should come up with a FOOD BLOG, since I'm always eating and always so fascinated with what I eat. Haha.
A bientot:)

Ip Man 2

Watched Ip Man 2 on Saturday night, and I can proudly say out, "Donnie Yen is my IDOL!"

Although most of us agree that the sequel is not as fantastic as the first one, but still, it's amazing.

Sometimes I really wonder if Wing Chun (永春)is as formidable as it seems.
It's portrayed to the the best in the movie and everyone is awed by it.
Yet, the guy that practices this form of martial arts is this calm and gentle-looking man.
 Like what is mentioned in the movie, it's not the fighting that matters, but the mutual respect for each other.
NICE.  
My brother is going to watch this movie for the second time, see how good it is?
:)

《绝代双骄》, I like~

 Ever since holidays have started, my eyes have been glued onto the TV screen like never before. I don't think I've ever been so hooked onto any serial drama like this before.
I dug out the whole set of 《绝代双骄》 recently, and was mad excited on watching it.
This drama dates back to 1999, and I vaguely remember watching it with my grandmother long ago when it was aired on TV.
See how handsome Jimmy Lin and Alec Su were (still are)!
This show is about a pair of twins who got separated shortly after birth and raised up by enemies, and told to kill each other when they grow up.
HANDSOME!

Check this out, the guy on the left is Hong Kong actor, Kevin Cheng 郑嘉颖!!!
So many handsome guys in this show, hehheh!


I'm still in the midst of watching this, and guess what, I'm into episode 28 of the show, and yet both 小鱼儿 and 花无缺 still have not found out that they are twins yet!

----edit----
I've finished the entire show already, it's a 40-episode marathon in 3 days, 90 minutes per episode. Am I super or what! haha. Oh, they only found out they are twins in the last episode, OH~MY~GOD la.
Call me crazy, but I feel like watching the whole set again. HEEHEE.

No. Eleven & Glee- The Power of Madonna

Bought another CD!!!
Couldn't resist the temptation of this.
Hins Cheung, 张敬轩.

For the eighth thousand times, 张敬轩 is a guy, not a girl. His name sounds like a girl's name, I know. Even Felicia Chin has a same-sounding Chinese name too.
But, having a girlish-sounding name doesn't mean that he can't sing, eh.
This is his eleventh album, my forth of his to my collection.
This album is not too bad, with a strong distinctive 'Hins' style in it.
Karaoke time!


Lizzie pok bought Glee- The Power of Madonna.
These are obviously cover tracks of Madonna's hits, a tribute to the megastar for granting Glee rights to her entire catalogue of music.
What an awesome way of PUBLICITY.
If you are a huge fan of Glee, you'll probably wanna buy this seven-tracked album and then sing and dance along da music.
Glee is addictive. Look at my sister, her eyeballs scream GLEE every time I look into her eyes. She eats sleeps talks Glee every minute now. tsk tsk tsk.


Being a tourist in my own country.

清明 is probably over already, but we went to 扫墓 and 祭拜祖先 only just now.

We walked around the temple, and I seriously felt like a tourist.

Some pictures:
 Mr. Frog


Look at these cute statues of little monks.

Cute eh? haha.

MAY DAY.

Celebrated Miss. May's birthday on Friday at Glass House Fish & Co.
May, like always, came late (together with Shin).
It was fun, food was alright, just that my meal never made it to the table.

Mussels and bread.

Yummy mussels


Char.

Kalamari

Mel's NY Fish & Chips.
