Diner Dash^^
Closing was much fun again. This time I was wearing Faizal's hat. That was fun. Syod(Gun) called me Charlie Chaplin's daughter. He's such a joker (you can't usually tell because his face is almost always unsmiling). Nad was doing closing too and she looked beat.
Anyway, that's all for now because I'M SO HUNGRY!! Hehe :):)

Closing..
When the last group of guests finally left, I started the closing duties. It was much more fun this time. We were all talking, laughing and joking around. I even got to wear the clown hat :) I'd say that closing shifts are the best. The only setback is that it can get a little tiring. I'm on the same shift today so it's another round of fun.
Anyway, once the baking class is over, I plan on making a date with my little brother. I haven't seen him in ages and I miss him so much! I can't wait!!!!

Craziness..
Anyway, now for less mushy stuff. I was wondering about my future (again). If I really do study English, there's not much in store for me after college. I'm worried about that, and with good reason. I want to study something that can get me a good job. I want to be working in a position I love my whole life rather than going to work just because I have to. The problem is, I don't have any idea what I want to pursue. I'm quite sure I don't want to be a medical doctor. So maybe I should be a lawyer or a psychiatrist. I don't know. How can I find out? How can I come to realise what it is I want to do for the rest of my life?????? I need help in this department!
I also miss Nadiah. Since we both started working, we've rarely spent time together. Fortunately, we're both on the closing shifts so we can spend the morning together tomorrow. :):) I can't wait! I have much to tell her.

Life Life..
Now for some thoughts; I've noticed that some people lack manners. 'Please' and 'Thank You' just don't matter anymore. They act so imperiously when they shouldn't and that causes symptoms of severe rudeness. The worst part is, these kind of people don't realise they're doing it. They act as they always do and are blind to their weaknesses. I have to admit that even though my manners are quite intact, I am still rude at times and I should work on that. I won't be a hypocrite.
I had lunch with some of the dubs today (by accident). It was fun talking to them outside work. I'll do it again sometime :)
TUESDAY!!
Anyway, I'm getting kind of comfortable here. It's not so bad. The more you get to know them the friendlier they are. It's like going back to school. You'll make new friends & learn new things. You'll meet different personalities; some you'll come to like and some you'll learn to tolerate. The best part about all of this is that it doesn't feel like work at all. Sure it gets boring once in a while but there's not feeling of 'aww man! Work... :('. We get paid to enjoy.
I ate something before I came to work to ensure that I wouldn't be hungry till my break time. I was wrong. It's only 1pm and already my stomach is growling. I don't think I'm going to Jasmine today. I feel like eating something sweet. Maybe I'll get a cake. But I need solid food too so maybe some chicken rice as well.
Owais is here! YAY! Sounds like he enjoyed the party. I'm glad he did because he wasn't so keen on it at first. Anyway, it's great that he working the swing shift today too. At least I'll have him as company.
I have changed my mind yet again. I'm now at Jasmine Cafe. I decided (finally) to eat one roti canai. It tasted quite good. Also, my fear of coming here alone has elevated slightly. I might go again next time.
Next, I need a book to read. My left brain (or right; whichever that's the creative part) needs stimulating. There's an MPH sale going on somewhere and I'm going as soon as I find out where. :):)

All In A Day's Work...
RAT's!!
In a totally connected but unrelated topic, I believe that our subconscious mind is much smarter than that of our conscious mind. We dare to think beyond the boundaries and we explore ideas and thoughts through our subconscious in a way our conscious mind cannot. So, I'll let my subconscious have a stab at solving this hairy dilemma.
Moving on, the Rapid Action Team (RAT) in CDM is going to start a tuition centre in Alam Megah. They need volunteer teachers and I've decided to sign up. This centre will be especially for students who cannot afford to pay for tuition. We're going to help them with their education and I'm glad to be of help. Besides, I'm getting bored anyway. It'll be fun to teach others anything I can, to pass on the knowledge I've gleaned over all my school years. I've opted to teach English and Mathematics up to the Form 5 level. I have good English and though the grammar part may be difficult for me to teach, I know I can make a good impact on these kids writing skills. As for Maths, I love that subject and I've never had any problems with it. The RAT's (I love their name(: ) are going to have a meeting to get things organised and I just cannot wait!

Running Through My Mind..
Anyway, as for work. It's going fine. Today is June's off day but I'll have Owais to keep me company. Swing shift again! Now, I have to go figure out what I'm going to wear. Tata!

I'VE BEEN BUSY!! ^^,
*Phew* Now that I've got that out. So, I've not been blogging simply because work is taking up most of my time. I really like working, don't get me wrong, but I just wish I had a little more time to relax. I've made some friends and I like them all. My partner in crime is a little lady named June,
and when I say little, I mean it. She's a few inches shorter than me but she's a few decibels louder than me. :) It's really fun working when I have the same shift as June or some of the other SPG's. We laugh and talk all the time and they keep me smiling the entire shift. However, when they're not there, it's a little harder to keep a smile on my face. And besides, my default face is not a smiling, smirking, happy one so it's hard to keep smiling all day. I'll keep trying though.
I went shopping while on my break yesterday (JUSCO started their CNY sale!!) and I bought a few black blouses for work. So now, the GM can't ask me why I keep wearing the same two blouses day in and day out. When he did ask me, my witty remark was 'When will I get my salary??' Anyway, work can be fun but sometimes there are rough patches. Both June and I are new to this job so of course we don't really know how to do everything yet. And if no one teaches us how, we'll never learn.
As SPG's, we're supposed to help the dubs clear the tables and stuff if they're busy. The only problem is we don't know where to send the dishes. First time I ask, they said "send it to the kitchen". When I sent it to the kitchen, they complained I didn't do it right. So I asked again, only then did I get a proper answer on what exactly I should do with the dishes when I take them to the kitchen. After that problem was solved, another one arose. The manager saw a couple of uncleared tables and even though the dubs weren't busy, he asked us to help clear it, so we tried. As soon as we reached the table, the dubs shooed us away saying it's their job and we shouldn't interfere. ??? . So what then should we do?? Also, there's the whole keep-smiling-no-talking issue. Like I said before, it's difficult to keep smiling an entire shift especially when your back hurts from standing so long and you're bored because you can't talk and when the managers themselves don't smile all the time. Smiling: I'll work on it, but no talking? That's just too much. When there's no guest, or when it's not peak hours, why can't we talk?? It's not like we neglect anyone when we do. We still keep an eye out for whatever the guests' need, so why can't we talk and joke around??
So, I'll end what seems to be a long post with a 'tak tau malu' phrase. COME AND EAT IN FRIDAYS!! COME FOR THE FOOD, STAY FOR THE FUN! (And if you're wondering, all our work issues are invisible to the guest, so even if I'm having a bad day, you'll definitely always have a good experience there) haha!!
p.s: I'm missing Dillon Li. I'll come see you ass soon as I can!

New Year!
We (mother, brother and me) have started watching Star Terk Voyager. We've finished the entire 1st season in only one week. It's so fun watching the whole thing again but we should really control how much we watch each day because we're in danger of finishing the entire 7 seasons in less than a month. Not a good idea if I do say so myself. Anyway, Tuvok said something that I would like to repeat here: Do not mistake composure for ease. I don't know why but I like that saying.
On another note, I have an interview for a job this tuesday. I'm so excited!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
