I could get used to this.

So i must say i've been pretty busy these days! Kind of like it because i've been seeing a lot of my friends nowadays.

Monday
Had lunch with parents at expo before heading to work. Not much customers, and i was slacking, using my phone and all...then Xin Xin, who is working nearby, called out my name, and i got a shock, thinking my boss caught me slacking or something. Haha! Chatted for like 2 mins before she went off to buy her stuffs. And as expected, sales was bad again, but thank god for a lady who came at like 4plus and bought a whole lot of food, and at least sales wasn't that bad, though it's still considered bad... Boss didn't say anything but....(you'll get it when you read on)

Tuesday
Went to tutor cousin in the afternoon, ate a little for dinner over there. His granny made small talk with me while she waited with me downstairs for my uncle to come and pick me up for work. She asked how old am i, and whether i'm older than Amos (the older brother of the cousin i'm tutoring). I told her i am older, and in fact hitting the big 2 this year. She dropped her jaw. Lolol. This kind of reaction, nothing new really.. So yupps! Head to work after that. Sales was better! I realized my sales for night shifts are much better than early shirts. Was kinda relieved and happy that sales was good. But boss just actually said ok, and asked me to improve on my early shift sales and FB likes. By then i was kinda upset (maybe partly because of the tiredness) so i just replied "okay.." No smiley faces or whatsoever. So i guess she sensed that i'm not that pleased la, and then she proceeded to send me a super long text which sounded nice but i know the actual things that are running in her head aren't that nice.. I mostly ignored everything and only replied the part where she wants me to introduce responsible friends who want to work. Anyway i wouldn't ask friends to join me and work over there, because really, even i myself kind of regretted already. What keeps me going is that i try to think positively, comforting myself that this job is just for me to pass my time, for me to train my guts and to talk comfortably with strangers, pay might be low, but at least it's not that boring and the hours are short & flexible plus it's a new company, thus can't afford to pay much etc. I kind of accepted it, and can only just wait for the contract to be over. But what i detest is that when the boss would blame the bad sales/FB likers on me. Yes, she may make it sound nice and all, but really, i know she's unhappy when sales are bad. But it's not my fault! ): She don't even know how i always try to provide good service so that customers will come back. How i always smile at random people passing by just so maybe they might come over to buy. How i endure with all the questions by people who doesn't buy. I mean, i know she even tried to sound it out with the kitchen girl on shift with me -.- I've never really have anyone to be unhappy/suspicious with what i'm doing because it's not like i'm a irresponsible slacker. I feel....insulted. *sigh*
So the text that night totally spoiled my mood, but i didn't dwell on it much...

Wednesday
Woke up early to send sissy off to the airport. She's currently at Taiwan now. Me jelly. I like going on an overseas trip under the school because it's usually so much fun! Primary school went to Malaysia, secondary school to Beijing, JC to Malaysia. I really want to go Korea for Summer Programme or something for University. But it's freaking $7,000 ++ Totally out of my league...

So anyway, we had Mac breakfast together, before leaving her with her friends..



Daddy sent us back home before heading to work. I tried to get some scrap-booking done for my Korean pal, i've been delaying it far too long.... Then i met Rachel and Lester for lunch at 126! Kind of a random meeting actually. Monday Rachel texted me to ask whether i'm free on Tuesday or Wednesday because she doesn't have work, and will be very bored at home.. So i said Wednesday i can afford to meet her before my work. So tadah...we met up and asked Lester along because apparently he seems to be the only one who doesn't have anything on. He's damn free. Lol.

Food that we got! Kind of little but i was still full from my Mac breakfast.. Both Lester and Rachel ordered the barley drink, but i didn't. (save $, haha) Lester kept insisting me to try a sip though. I was thinking it's just barley, how nice can it get... Turns out that it's pretty nice. Haha! It's sweet with some small melon(?) pieces in it. Lester helped us to open the leaves for the rice and the paper for the chicken. And he was like "I'm so gentleman hor?" Haha! He even paid for the bill while both of us were away, washing our hands.. So yeah, quite gentleman! Lol. We actually spent a lot of time eating despite the small amount of dishes. Too much talking. And laughing. Really missed those secondary school times after reminiscing the past with them...

After that we headed to my house! See my cats again, since Rachel hasn't seen it before.
Didn't know Rachel took a picture of me while i was...talking to Tiger. Lol. I know it seems crazy, talking to animals...but they understand me! Smart creatures they are. Tiger was happy with me talking and showing him love please. Just look at his tail, it says everything. Haha.

That's Lester's hand. Haha, he's like trying to attract the cats' attention with the food.
Thunder why you so cute and handsome?!
 Naughty Lightning and Kitty jumped onto the top of my neighbour's car. I experienced this for the first time. Tried to get them to come down but they were like so comfortable up there. Was almost late for work because of them...

So after that they walked me to the mrt and we bade farewell! Rushed off to work and reached just in time. Work was okay, except that a random guy walking pass with 1 guy friend and 1 girl friend said HI damn loudly. I was stoning and people watching, so all i did was to widen my eyes cause it was really sudden and loud, so i was kind of shock. Plus his ears are disgustingly scary. He did ear gauging. Apparently the guys thought it was funny and started sniggering. -.- Too childish for words. Then i felt that familiar temper in me rising. It's kind of a usual thing when i was in secondary school because then there were quite a few ah bengs and ah lians in school, and sometimes you just can't back down, but stand against them, to show you're not weak. At least that's how i feel... So i stared after them, even when they were on the escalator. They were still laughing. -.-" But i can see the girl is okay though, saw her smacking the guys and gave them the why-must-you-make-fun-of-the-small-girl look. Haha.

And i made a mistake again...

Me: *do closing*
Kitchen girl: Why today so early??
Me: Where got early... it's..omg! It's 9.49pm only! I thought i saw 9.59pm?!
Lucky there weren't any more people who wanted to buy anything..

And umisushi guy gave us 2 boxes of sushi each to bring home!

He's so nice! Both of us were so happy! Hahah. Though i got a feeling the guy likes the kitchen girl la. Plus both are from China, so quite likely something will develop...Lol!

After that head to Rochor Beancurd House to meet Wei Jin and Lester for a drink and talk for a bit. Was suppose to be having durians since all of us were craving for it since Sunday, but last minute they changed their minds..

Complained to Wei Jin saying Lester keeps teasing me about my birth mark after he found out about it in the afternoon. Then it turns out Wei Jin doesn't even know about my birth mark too. Haha. I thought he knew...okay, actually i don't really keep tabs on who knows and who doesn't. I only remember some because they gave quite unforgettable comments, which can be hurtful and yet funny at the same time.. Thereafter, Wei Jin walked me home. He even made sure i get into house and helped to close the gate for me. Lol. It's not that dangerous, but always meeting up with secondary school friends there will always be someone to escort me home. I'm so blessed to have super protective friends, really.

Thursday
Off day! No work. Ate lunch outside and then went to granny's house to visit her. She keeps getting me drinks. The usual stuff...

Right, tomorrow there's work and i got invited by Liang Quan to watch a free 3D Madagascar 3 movie! Kind of lucky nowadays eh? Haha, will be getting the cheque for my pay too! Yay!
