Done

Yay! I've competed my 10 days at Mcdonald's! It was rather tiring and challenging at first, but after everything's over, it was 10 days well spent. A good experience if you ask me. Though I wouldn't want to work there work a month or more. I'm just a spoiled brat. :P

Things I learnt:

1. How to make proper sundae cones. :)
2. How to carry an 11kg bag of sundae over my head to refill the ice-cream machine.

3. No restaurant is free of cockroaches. -_-"
4. Be nice to your collegues, it pays off.
5. Smile!
6. The communication skills stuff they teach in IMU is actually useful.
7. The french fries there are still one of the best in the Malaysian fast food industry.
8. Whatever happens, take it with a pinch of salt.
9. Sometimes, I'm too upright and honest for my own good.
10. Some people are born bitches.

I'm lovin' it (yeah right)

*Phew* Started my job at Mcdonald's yesterday... Man, that place is so busy during the holidays! My feet ache like hell now. So far, I've been at the dessert counter making sundaes and shakes. Not too bad, I'd rather do this than fry burgers or clean tables. :P Though I make the ugliest sundae cones ever. Some are shapeless and melty and... just gross. Thank God most Malaysians are understanding ppl... When I tell them "So sorry, it's my first day here.. Do you want me to make another one?" They'll say.. "Oh it's Ok, good luck!" *sigh* Thank goodness thank goodness.... But some customers are not so nice la. The staff there are quite helpful and patient. So, thank goodness for that too. It leads me to wonder, how am I gonna perform life-saving surgery on a patient if I can't make one beautiful but not-so-life-saving sundae cone?

Most of the part-timers there are secondary school students, some of them just completed their PMR. -_-" God I feel so old! A few of the staff actually asked me: "Form berapa?" When I tell them I've finished secondary school, proceed on to ask whether I'm still studying and where. I was so reluctant to tell them I'm a medic student... Dunno why, but I feel weird and embarassed.

Hokay, you can do this. Another 8 days to go, God bless...

Seng Kiat's 21st Birthday

And here we have some long overdue photos... Enjoy!

*Sigh* Com is down AGAIN. Can't wait to get a new one. I think this time it's because my hard drive is already 'immunocompromised' from all the crashes, sekali some virus/adware/worm enters, it goes flatline on me.

Happy 21st Birthday Ching Ee!!!

The title says it all. *HUGS*

There is no sky

Haze is back. Sky (what sky?) is white. Visibility is low. Weather is hot. Holidays are halfway through.

Yes folks, after two and a half months of rotting at home, I'm still alive and well. Am currently sorting out my acceptance form to Adelaide Uni. Finally it's time to get things moving. And after much procrastination, I've finally found myself a job in.....*drumroll* Mcdonalds! (the last place I wanted to work in, how ironic). But the pay is not bad for a duration on 10 days, so what the heck.

Met up with karen a few weeks back. Hehe.. it was good to see her again after all this while. Can't believe it's been more than two years since college. *sigh* The good old days... Attended Seng Kiat's 21st birthday dinner last Friday, a real gala affair. THANKS SK FOR THE WONDERFUL EVENING! Too bad that no matter where we go, we'll always be so jakun (sorry SK). More on that in the next post. :)

Just realised how little time there is before I embark on this exciting new phase in life. So far, I've done little to prepare for it. Perhaps compared to most people, I'm living a rather sheltered life (oh yeah, this will be the first time I'll be living away from my parents ever). It's so hard to leave behind everything you hold dear: family, friends, loved ones, (Ohh..Malaysian food!). It's for the best I know, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a golden opportunity to gain more knowledge, experience new cultures, form new friendships and hopefully become a better person. I still don't know, will I be able to stand up to the challenge? Will it really be OK? Only time will tell. Faith has helped me through so far. But even with faith, one can't help but feel scared and helpless sometimes...

I shall await my future with optimism and anticipation. Come what may, miracles do happen.

Trivia Time

Something Darling told me about. Check this out:

*Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Petaling*

There is a pretty good pork noodle stall in Sri Petaling. The stall is operated by a very professional pork noodle handler. He has a good rhythm, dancing around while attending to both the customers and the pot of soup. Besides that, Ajimal Razim located just beside the infamous Ipoh chicken, serves a huge array of mamak food. Yum. It serves for the survival of all IMU students. Hurray.

Not only is Sri Petaling mentioned in Wikipedia, but IMU students too!
