Sigh... How I wish 5mths from now equates to 1 week or 1 day?


I can't take it no more... I wish I could just QUIT! But I'm still doing this all for the bloody Diploma! I've always wanted to enter the working world and finally realised that schooling is much much much better than working! I've thought it through... I will not stay in this industry! *thinking of what career I should pursue*


Well it's not that the people in Bakerzin aren't nice, they are generous in imparting their skills and knowledge but on the whole I just feel that it's not a nice place to work in... The working hours sucks... I always need to work on Saturday AND for more than 10 hrs! (Managers clever la... Saturday come in late or go home early... so I have to work for 12hrs!) AND there's no such thing as BREAK! You can only have break when you're eating (eat finish start work) no standard 30/45 mins break! And If I said I'm not eating that equates to NO BREAK at all! Can you imagine me standing for the whole 8 hours or more? And constantly have to be alert of my surroundings..? I can't even sms! This is a real torture! I shud have just gone for TCC... at least I'll have lotsa freedom and for once... FOR ONCE i'm saying this "at least there're malay frenz whom I'll enjoy talking to"(I dun really like malays remember?) In Bakerzin everybody speaks chinese and everybody is so cheena! Bahz...! Not being racist but just cant stand it!


I do appreciate my manager's telling the part timers to respect and listen to me as I'm the team leader... but some of them are just not friendly, the only ones who are genuinely nice are Lam(full-timer) and Tong Yan.. The others are always acting like "smart alec(k)s" Maybe I'll just need more time to adapt to the new environment... And definitely I'll be a stronger(mentally & physically), determined, and wised up individual at the end of this SIP!


But for now, my life sucks, I have no time for anything, life is only abt work and on my off days I just wanna be home with my family! And not to forget... thx to my bro's gf who waited for me after work to pass me the Taufik's Showcase VCD which she bought for me and I was obliged to follow her to Taka to shop and also she treated me to BK... had a wonderful time with her today and at least there's sumtin else other than work in my life! (My bro's stucked in Tekong for dunno wat reason la) Bye peeps, dun wanna complain so much la.. cos I hate it when people complain so much and for small matters...

Welcome To The Real Working World!


It's my off day! Oh man.. Work for the past 2 days have been really tiring, mentally and physically.. Was made to read so many documents pertaining to the company's policies.. Had to memorize the menu (SOP) cos there'll be tests!! Finally met my manager, Marlene. She's a tigress, a gorgeous one... She sends shivers down my spine... I think that's the way she talks.. even to customers she sounds fierce... she'll just "Saed! Come here!" and to the customer "take a seat!" lol! She was really fierce... I think she didnt know she sounded rather harsh to the customer.. One part-timer got scolded by her... wah she's really farkin fierce... I just hope I dun make any major mistakes... dun wanna get fucked by her! Before I left she told me "Saed I dun wan them(part-timers) to teach you what to do, you're the Team Leader, YOU have to tell them what to do, I noe you're new la but gradually I want you to look after them not the other way round" I prefer my supervisor(Candice), she's more slack with me... I'm more comfortable working with her than with Marlene!


Went for my driving lesson just now, the only day I can go for driving lesson is on my off day! I dun even have the mood to go out, cos I'm just too tired... I hate SIP!! Really miss sch... for once! I caught Vonzell on tv, just in time... I really like her perfomance... she's just likeable.. Carrie U is the idol! Expected!

SIP - Orientation


Was all ready to go for my SIP Orientation when suddenly I had a splitting headache! Felt so weak, didn't wanna go for the orientation but that's just not possible. I laid on my bed hoping to get better in time but still I didn't, decided to take a taxi cos it was already 10 am! I thought I could catch a nap on the smooth taxi ride but oh well it was a BUMPY one and in 15 minutes I reached PS! Wtf! I was 45 mins early! Went to buy coke, I thought that would help me to burp and purged the "unclean air" out of my body. And in my heart I was saying "Oh God, cut me some slack, you can always torture me in hell" it worked! I got better 5 mins later. Nah, maybe it was the coke. Waited a few metres awy from Bakerzin and at the same time was talking to Lucy on the phone. Ended the conversation when I saw the Bakerzin's door was opened.


Waited inside with a girl from Tourism and later Kexin and Grace came, Kexin was in all smiles, displaying her pearly whites.. Tourism girl posted to Millenia Walk, Kexin to Paragon and POOR Grace, she got United Square! Orientation was super slack, I was 3 quarter asleep, the sme ol' shit - grooming, service sequence, menu, yada yada... The OM(quite pretty) was really funny and bo chap and she offered us drinks! I had cold choc and the others hot choc, they were wondering why I chose cold choc when it was freezing cold in that outlet! Well I DON'T drink hot drinks unless I'm really sick and have to take med! I'm so glad that I am posted to Atrium considering that it's kinda slack, outlet doesn't have breakfast(no need come so early la!), has a cleaner(no need sweep, mop, wash cups), just opp. is Stansfield College(Candice's Sch, can meet her everyday man!!) and on the right is PS!!! Oh btw, Bakerzin doesn't serve ice water! lol! Cooooooooool!


OM asked abt our work experiences and when i said I used to work with TCC, she gave me a fierce look! As usual I just smiled widely.

OM: That means u know the warm choc cake la..
Me : Yea ours is warm LAVA choc cake
OM: How much they paying per hr?
Me : $4.50
OM: Huh... see la, dun wanna join us... we're paying $6/hr.. the highest!
and she added "TCC very rich you know" lol! In my heart (rich but stingy...)
I hope everything will turn out well for me...

Wed-> 4-11
Thu -> OFF!

Sat -> 12-11 (wtf! might as well put 12pm-12am!)

I Knew It... I Just Knew It...


The long awaited call came in today... I am posted to The Atrium @ Orchard... Boo Hoo Hoo...! Well I actually knew I will be posted there... But just deluding myself that I will get posted to Paragon... Both Kexin and Grace wanted The Atrium... wonder wch outlet they got... If it's permissible I would be glad to swap places with them... haha... I'm dreading this SIP... 6 days a week... Whole lotta crap! I'm gonna suffer... I'm seeing myself walking to Simei MRT everyday... sweating like hell... running after the train (as in taking the stairs instead of the escalator)...


I'm missing this guy here...

Freak You!


Went for my driving lesson again... It's fun to learn driving but some idiots on the road obviously are blind! Can't you see the "L" plate? If you are in a hurry... Dun fucking follow me from behind... Cos I'm supposed to drive at that speed... Just overtake me instead of honking at me you asshole... When I get my license don't let me see ur fucking face on the road... Today's lesson was okay but I think I'm still weak... especially turning at a junction... it's like I cudnt get into the lane perfectly straight.. abit "senget"... And towards the end of the lesson... My engine stalled! Cos i released the clutch... And my instructor was so sarcastic... "Forget yr clutch ar? Think this auto car ar?" lol! I cudnt help laughing in the car... And one more thing.. he likes to talk to me... I can't concentrate... haha... "You're having holidays now?" yes... I told you that on my 1st lesson? Stop asking me questions that have already been answered... But he's cool la.. =o)

*Click the button stop to cut the music, this entry needs yr full attention.. hehe..

Friendship


Friendship, I'm sure everyone has come across this word, but have you asked yourself, What is friendship? What does it mean? Why friendship? After spending some amount of time pondering, I've come to a conclusion that in order to keep a friendship resolute you need to learn to cherish it.


Lots of people are lovers but aren't friends. Lots of people are relatives and aren't friends. Lots of people work together who aren't friends. Lots of people are classmates, but that doesn't mean they are friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesn't make them a friend.


Everyone has a different definition of friendship and I have classified them into 2 categories:


A

1. A person who has quite a few common interests with you. A person who understands you, appreciates your views, and vice versa.
2. One who I can share my heart with no matter what is on it and still be accepted for who I am, and vice versa.
3. A person who I love being and sharing things with. A person who is a good listener and vice versa.
4. One who will be there for me when I need them, One who will go all out to help me without any hesitation and vice versa.
5. A person I enjoy spending time with and can share my feelings, thoughts and experiences with and vice versa.
6. The best friends listen and accept me, but will also confront me so I can grow and vice versa.
   

B

1. Someone whom I can rely on all the times but him not needing me to rely on.
2. One whom I can trouble all the times but he cannot trouble me.
3. One whom I can bully anytime but he cannot bully me at all times.
4. One who will know when I'm having problems but I do not know when he is having problems.
5. One whom I'll seek ONLY when I have problems or need some, oops I mean ALOT of help.
6. In short, one who is a spare tyre.
   

So, which category do you fall into? Think about it people...


*I'm not in a foul mood... Nothing happened to me... Just putting my thoughts into words... Peace! In fact I'm in a good mood... cos i've started my driving lessons again! My instructor is damn cool... I have no problem communicating with him and he likes to say the word "power"... well there's only one word to describe him... Power!

Crap!


Been wanting to blog on this... Had a weird dream... I actually left TP! And returned to MJC! Holy Smoke! I realized that Hospitality Management was not for me... and of the cos the people there don't make things better... Ok so I was in MJC... and I saw many familiar faces... Saw one bitch from my secondary sch and decided to avoid from being seen... Surprisingly I didnt see Yasmin... lol! The nonsensical thing is that I didnt even inform the principal that I'm coming back... I just turned up at MJC like as if it's my father's sch! As you know when you dream, you can't remember every single thing... So suddenly I dun feel like staying in MJC anymore and decided to sneak out... "security" was rather tight... So had to be really careful to sneak out... And most stories have a "love" part rite? While I was trying to sneak out, I met this "girl"... She too wanted to sneak out... Having been captivated by good looks all the time... Of cos that "girl" was gorgeous... she had this eurasian mixed look... And so both of us tried to sneak out together... And we succeeded!! Yay! And the next moment.. I woke up from my sleep... Anti-Climax! Stooo........pidddd....


Realized that I haven been doing anything worthwhile this semester break... sigh... Also thought of what degree should I pursue? Definitely not Hospitality... Angie was asking me about Journalism... suddenly I feel like taking up journalism... But... nah... I dunno... -_^

Fragrance/Freaky


Met Charmaine at Parkway John Little... She was promoting perfumes... The first perfume that she asked me to smell was like really bad... and she said "what was the person thinking when he created this perfume" Hahaha.. So funny can... Talked to her for awhile and Evangeline appeared outta nowhere... She's there to shop with her parents n younger bro... All 3 of us chatted... mainly abt SIP... After that Evan went off and it's time for Char to knock off... So I walked out of Parkway with Char... She went to meet her mum, and as for me, I took the shuttle bus to Bedok... Now the interesting part... erm interesting is not the word...


At Bedok I took 18 and I was the 3rd person to board the bus.. I walked right to the back and I saw a guy sleeping! I was like "where the hell did he come from?"... It occured to me that this guy here didnt alight at the drop-off point! I decided to buat bodoh(ignore)... I had to go to Tamp Central to buy something... Upon reaching Tampines Interchange, I looked at that guy and he was still sleeping... I was saying in my heart "Is he not going to alight again??" I tapped my card and alighted.. turned around... n he was still inside and the bus drove off... *Surely the bus driver will wake him up later* After I bought my things I went to queue up for my feeder bus and GUESS WAT! I saw that same guy on the bus! The driver didnt wake him up! He left him in the dark on the bus! I was really worried... I thought he might just die in there... Called Charmaine and told her abt this thing and she told me "that fella won't die.. probably he has no home... and he wants to sleep on the bus" How cruel can Char get...*JOKING* So I decided not to do anything and just wait for tmr's newspaper headline as Charmaine suggested.. lol~


But I really hope that fella wont die... Dun want him to come and haunt me for not waking him up! Man... It's the fuggin driver's fault... He didnt check the bus before parking/locking it up! Stoopid arse... He better not die man.. I dun wanna be labelled as a murderer or maybe an accomplice... Hmm.. prolly he's already back home now sleeping...
On an end note... When you're on the bus alone... DONT SLEEP! Duh!

HUH?


Guess wat... My LO called me! "Hi, can I speak to Abdillah..." "Yea speaking..." "I'm Nee Tat your LO, The other day I wasnt able to come for the SIP launch cos I was on reservist, So I'm calling you to formally introduce myself..." "Okay..." in my heart *what the...* "Do you have my number? It's ********" "You're in Bakerzin right... do you have any concerns that you wud like me to advise you on" "No..." *mild giggle*... "okay then" "okay thank you" "dun mention" "bye" He's weird ain't he? And he actually pronounced Bakerzin wrongly... Halo your student here already not so happy goin to Bakerzin and there you are pronouncing the company's name wrongly... He's asking for a beating is he not? Okay okay.. let's not be mean... He's sucha nice LO to have bothered calling his studs just to "formally" introduce himself... Just dun like the word formally.. I mean.. "FORMAL" introduction thru the mobile?? How "formal" is that... SIP is coming... Not feeling anything... It's just a damn SIP... I'm sure I can perform... It's almost gonna be exactly like TCC... I hope I get Paragon... *prays*
