harry potter...

i finally finished the book... and typical of me, i do not remember many characters from previous books... i'm the type who read but do not remember all the details. i only remembered main characters...
anyway, i took kinda long to finish the book. almost two days, whereas in the past i would probably chiong through the whole book in a day... but what to do? the first day i read til i was too tired and my eyes would not stay open any longer... it was after work... and the second day i only had less than 1/4 of the book left but i had to leave for work... could only finish after i came home yesterday...

i juz realised that i prefer books from the children section instead of from the adult fiction section... the storybooks are easier to finish, have bigger fonts and are much more interesting... but i still find it slightly embarrassing for me to forage into the children section, given my age... i'm practically ancient to the kids in there... haiz...

time seems to be flying past at supersonic speed... its almost august... awhile more and sch is going to reopen... and before that, our results will be out... i fear for my results... panic, sheer terror and confusion as to my future, the same stuff i've been feeling every year this time...

its so tiring to work at bar 1, with its massive number of drink orders... especially on mambo nights... stuff keep running out and we keep having to go around getting stuff... on the plus side, it'll probably keep me from growing fat... prospect of me growing fat is a fearsome one... that would mean new jeans or pants... which would kill my wallet... so for now i shall be content to work at bar 1... (i'm so contradicting myself. i think)

山穷水尽

school's gonna reopen in two months... meaning its time to pay my sch fees again... if i do successfully pass my units, i need to take my final 5 units... that will amount to 5 grand... the thought of it makes me feel miserably broke... i have to get my dad to pay first (which he in turn probably need to borrow from his sister, my aunt) and then i have to scrimp and save to pay him/ them back...

i hate the feeling of owing people money... makes my future look rather bleak, earning money to pay people back for a couple of years, and only after that can i spend money on myself... how i long to be able to eat whatever i like and not think of the cost... because right now everytime i eat something expensive the guilt hits me like a wooden club to the back of my head... ihateit... how i wished i was born into a rich family at times. like those who can go to overseas university because their results were not good enough for local ones, those whose 21st birthday present was a car... be one of those spoilt brats who only know of their pampered world... and not someone who have to freaking set aside more than half the months pay for instalments, using the rest to save to return a debt and still survive on whatever's left... damn. now i feel miserable...

on a happier note, days are not as gloomy as before now that i've got someone by my side. she gives me the courage to go through the shits in life, just by being there. someone who totally warms me up when i'm hugging her, lighting up my life when she smiles...

and she's sick... she suspects of gastric flu... how i wished i could take the sickness in her place... afterall, i'm quite used to being sick. and i know being the stubborn ass that she is, she will probably still go to work despite being sick... and i cant seem win against her and persuade her to stay at home. shall try harder later...

of smells and odours

juz to add on to my previous entry...

went to the toilet in zouk at around 3am... nearly choked to death on the reeking sour stench of vomit... i suppose without the smell of cigarette smoke in zouk, such odours become more apparent... it was so horrible and i vowed never to go to zouk toilet again. i rather walk all the way down to our changing room and use the toilet there...

pretty exciting day later... got a birthday chalet, meaning bbq, and maybe going down to MOS later... tertiary fling again... and i know sophia wanted to go... her classmates are going too... so will probably drive down around 10+ to make her happy... i hate MOS for being stingy and not serving ice water... and evian costs $8!!!

the club smells fresh!!!

no smoking in clubs anymore... with the small allocated smoking area at zouk we thought at first that people in the small area would be more than the people in the main disco, since they cant smoke anymore... we shall see... its been less than a week since the new law anyway...

mambo on wed was quite as usual, if not more packed than normal... probably because alot of kids dun smoke or its the last week of holidays for ite... it was a super busy night... 200 jugs were still not enough, along with 10 trays of shot glasses... and for some reason kids love E-33...

friday however, despite a guest dj junior sanchez, it was not very crowded. in fact, the whole disco was slack except for the members bar. while normally i do not work at members bar, for some unknown reason i was posted to members bar tonight... and that was the only bar that was packed... weird...
and i had quite a few customers asking me how come i'm not at the bar anymore... had to explain that i was working in a different bar for about 4 times... to different customers... thank god the music is not that loud at members and i din have to shout myself hoarse to get myself heard...
the bar captain assigned me to do the closing inventory and i had barely started when the music suddenly stopped and the lights came on. everyone was quite shocked... i mean, it was friday and we were closing earlier than wednesday... had to rush my closing and missed out a few items =X

i hope saturday would not be too busy... One with Aldrin... he's quite a celebrity nowadays... appearing in magazine and all... and they say if its not busy on a friday night it will get busy on saturday... i've got the feeling that i may be posted to members bar again, since two of the part timers are not working. oh well. i will survive.

cab drivers

i hate taking cabs home from work especially if i end around 6am... its so so so darn hard to get a cab... even by booking. everyone is changing shift and booking a cab can take up to 20mins!!!

the cab driver just now was a dragger... i swear the way he drags his first gear, he could have just skipped second gear and shifted into third. he was doing fourth gear on the expressway and i fell asleep while waiting for him to shift into fifth gear...

bar in charge left for home around 3+am since he was working tomorrow afternoon for the milk run... charity function. i was quite surprised they did not send anyone down to take over the bar... leaving me somewhat in charge... afterall i seldom take such huge responsibility... after the partimers left at 4.30, there was only me and two other guys... both part timers. it was a little hectic, with me having to collect tips, requisite stocks and close the bar... but all in all, i was lucky today was totally not busy... despite the said to be famous/good DJ Cash Money, RNB theme... if MOS has such a low $ spending crowd i wonder how long till they close down @.@
total cheapos... even the angmohs...

speaking of angmoh, one pushed me while trying to walk through a crowd today. i totally stumbled backwards and nearly fell on my butt... that mofo used his hands and pushed, like the way you would push a door open when you're in a bad mood style... after i regained balance, before he could slink away, i grabbed his hand and pulled him back...and no i did not hit him... din even think about it. he was bigger n taller n stronger... natural reaction (and temper) made me pulled him back... i made a gesture to indicate 'whats your problem' he said something that sounded like "i'm sorry" in a reluctant tone, i glared at him and walked away. actually i was waiting for him to hit me, so that the security nearby could kick him out of the club... or i could kick his nuts and say it was in defence... or call the cops and land his sorry ass in jail... but too bad. nothing happened. just that i was seriously pissed off...
