and on my another day off i went into jb by myself. =D

xiao qiang met me inside though. hahaha. went and caught 赤壁 which was good enough for me. the visual effects were good. the wonders of technology. =D but the thing i dislike most was the fact that there will be a sequel. eeeew. so i was left practically hanging at the edge of my seat coz i was looking forward to the part where zhu ge liang will defeat cao cao with the use of scarecrows. arrghz. angry angry.

went over to kinsahi at aeon tebrau city for jap food. =D and we took the bus there! so exciting! hahaha. so old school. =D

and that's my xiao qiang with his fried chicken ramen and hot chocolate. =D

that's the appetizer that was on the house. it's salad la.

my iced peach tea with REAL peach bits at the bottom! =D first time siaz. and look at the thickness of the salmon sashimi. whoa! slightly more ex coz it's almost S$10. but well worth the money spent. =D i had a very enjoyable time polishing off the juicy slices. temptations temptations! =D

my ebi chawanmushi. yummy yummy. got crabsticks. egg. mushrooms. fish cake. prawn. and the gravy was out of this world lo. =D

ah. my fancy trap. that's what it's called. fancy trap. there's like sotong. eel. salmon. egg. roe. cucumber. rice. and some kinda unknown sashimi. but still good nonetheless. =D

the gyoza which was juicy enough.

and this is quite unique. coz i ordered mini california maki and mini soft shell crab maki. so they actually served it to us like this. =D

the soft shell crab maki.

and the california maki.

and and and. my beef enoki roll! hahaha. so happy to eat enoki after so long! =D

and that's one of their specialty. tataki maki. not bad. it's slightly grilled salmon wrapped around rice. which is in turn wrapped around seaweed which held the crabstick. cucumber and another unknown item. and on top of the salmon was chicken floss with the roe and drizzled with generous helping of mayo. =D

and the table of good food! =D

went over to somewhere near his place coz there was a pasar malam there! i adore pasar malams! and their's was so different from ours. there's even fresh veggies and fresh seafood on sale lo. even though it was juz a short stretch of stalls.

and i was happy to have some things and people and events to keep me occupied.

on the way back. saw his missed call. so chatted for a while. then was saying that i go look for him at wcp. and he asked if there was anything that i wanted to say. i was like 'you'll know it soon'. sighz. then when i msged him and asked if it's ok for me to go over. he didn't reply. and perhaps out of anger. i didn't go. so he called a while ago asking where was i coz he was still waiting. i was like 'you didn't even reply how was i to know if you want me to go?!?' and i guess i was a bit harsh and the pissed off tone of voice came out quite strongly. but i am pissed. if you want me to go juz say it la. what 'up to you'. crap! arrghz. spoil my mood siaz.

was working yesterday. 3 days more to d-day.

and before i entered store. i saw rasid. fiq. rezal. tao yan. aziz w outside and juz a simple few seconds chat threatened the tear glands. then while the night aunties were talking to me. the tears juz rolled down freely as i was spot checking the counter. and i thought as i was on the way to work that i was in control of my emotions le. damn. darling came by and while he was asking me questions about the transfer the stupid tears juz welled up in my eyes. arrghz. and i think i freaked him out lo. dotz. then talked to auntie fongleng in the morning and the 2 of us almost burst out crying. arrghz. what's wrong with me?!?

that day when i went out with beloved and lover. i could see the tears in her eyes too as we were talking about the transfer. and it took much effort for me to control juz my own emotions.

i chatted to mama for 1 hour too about store and cl3. she's really different from back when i first knew her. even she admitted to it. =) but it's a good change. =D

i really she bu de everyone. with all the memories etched into my mind and every crook and corner of the place. i'll be taking my camera along these few days ba. i need proof of my memories.

2 more days to go. 2 more mid shifts and i'll officially no longer be a manager of jscc. i feel as if the store has abandoned me in some way. =X
hahaha. ok. xiao qiang. sorry. i lied. coz i'm going to post this up. and store is flooded! =X

this will be a slightly happier post since the news. coz on sunday beloved. lover and i ventured to bukit merah's hawker centre in search of good food! =D

and now i'll let the pics do the talking:

cilantro located at bukit merah.


the yummy mushroom soup with fantastic-ally warm and herb-y bread which reminded me of absolute haven.

the famous foie gras which in my opinion lost to tea cosy. but still good and cheap! =D

the baked slamon for lover.

smoked duck for beloved.

and my favourite lamb shank! =D

and to top it all of was my oreo cheesecake with chocolate topping.

and beloved's aloe vera jelly?

went to villa bali after that. and we made plans to go again next month with jeff too. =D this shall be all for now. tmr tmr tmr. a much better day. coz i'm meeting xiao qiang in jb! =D

and i shall leave all the thoughts and feelings of the transfer for the 31st or rather 1st. when i blog all about it at one shot.

now for more things to keep me happy. *sighz*

Saturday, July 26, 2008

i will now blog but this post will only show up as of 1st august or when i know that maha has told all of you about it over the weekends. come to think of it now. i'm only left with 4 working days in store and i want everyday to be a beautiful one.

250708 (friday):
was working today and it was lovely. i got to work with my many lovez. frankie. norhan. jasri. aziz i. aziz w. wan. zahid. nasri. kanglin. dini. lik jou. suria. zul. dzul. auntie seow lan. auntie kim yoo. although lover black face at the beginning but she was ok after a while. =D customers were in. i believed we all had fun working with each other rightz? i know i did. =D

the riders are aware of my transfer le. but wan made them promise not to say. let maha inform the crew first. and xiao qiang is aware too. he asked me today. sighz.

and do you know how much effort went into putting up a front so that no one would guess of the news and so that i can have a memorable shift today? it's painful to act happy in front of all of them when my heart is so close to bursting.

i take comfort in knowing that lover and son could still believe and trust in me and allow me to listen to their problems. i was very honoured. really.

i'll drop by cl3 on sunday to see the place and get a feel of it first ba. =D

260708 (saturady):
i know that news has gone out that i'm transferred out le. so i will post this entry up le.

3 more working days left at jscc. ="(

the road ahead is long. so long that i can't see the end yet. i know i will reach there in time to come. hopefully by leaving means that i can be promoted fast. i give myself 1 year to reach the post of a 1st assistant. and perhaps in 5 i should become a restaurant manager?

i know i've been saying all along that i wanna transfer out. but trust me. i didn't mean it. as much as i dislike working with certain people. i won't give up so easily. how can it be that i wanna leave a place that has become a second home to over the past 4 years and 7 months? it's tough. and with all the strings attached.

i only knew the news of the transfer on wednesday. 230708. during the 10 minutes of break during the meeting. (perhaps that's why i needed to put up a strong front so that none of you can guess what's happening until mama announces the news to you all.)

honestly speaking. i got a rude shock. i started tearing immediately. i know since the beginning of the year that mickey wanted to transfer me out to start a new store (trade hub 21. which didn't occur due to some estate issues.) and that she wants me to get promoted fast. trade hub 21 was due to open this july. so i was to be transferred out by end of june. it is nice when people recognizes your potential and wants to help you. back then i didn't think of how i would feel if i do get transferred out. but when the plan for trade hub 21 fell through i was relieved in a way.

relieved coz it means that i can get to stay longer with my favourite crew and riders. glad that i didn't have to break the news to all of you.

but no one knew of cl3. yes. the store's opening will be this sunday from what i heard. and it's at clementi. juz next to the ntuc. it's gonna be a 55 seater store. not big. but it's gonna be opened 24 hours and mds will be opened 24 hours too. it's a challenge. but i love challenges. i don't know much about the managers. but heard the rm is very rah-rah. like what maha told me. i am out-going yet quiet at the same time. but that's perhaps coz in store there's no one to rah-rah with. management wise i mean. and mickey mentioned that kris (that's the rm's name. she's a lady.) is a people manager. and the team is very experienced. so hopefully i will be pushed and demanded of so that i can go further.

in a way i guess i've yet to realize the capacity of my capability. so this will be a golden opportunity to learn how to run a high volume store.

these are the facts. i will be out of jscc with effect of 1st august. i told no one about it all yet as of today (thursday) except for my parents and him and da jie. and from 1st august onwards i'll be at cl3.

a new start to a new beginning.

he told me that once i start on the new journey. not to look back anymore. i won't but only maybe once in a while coz it's all my beautiful memories. i cried when i talked to him over the phone. i guess it's juz natural when i feel like i'm cutting out my heart. it's bleeding so badly.

i will miss every single one of you guys. seriously.

i'll always remember the times we spent laughing at work. giggling and gossiping with each other. nagging at you guys to get things done and then arguing over it all. the times when we talked and pointed out weird customers and complained to each other about the customers' attitude in the kitchen. the times we tried to make ourselves feel better when we try to bring down other managers coz we were so angry with them and the brainless things that they get up to. hahaha.

i hate to leave all of you. but think of it this way. now that we are in different stores. it's easier for us to meet up and go sentosa!!! =D and wherever we want. =D

people move on in mac in one point or another. especially since most of you are part timers. so guys. if you all are reading this: i love all of you very much!!! xoxoxo.

sometimes words fail me coz i don't know how to phrase myself properly. but i'll try to put things and thoughts into words today.

firstly. i wanna say sorry.

sorry to lover 1. lover 2. xiao qiang. angie. felicia. karen. ah ler. ah hui. auntie fong leng. cl. son. brother. dzul. khairul. xiao min. jie. sis. i'm sorry that i'm always making you guys worry about me. whether izzit coz i'm having a black face. or coz i'm crying. i'm sincerely sorry. i didn't mean it. and it's all coz i can't control my emotions well enough.

sorry to syafiq whom i had a disagreement with.

sorry to uncle aziz. my rezal. irwan. nas. fiq. razif. sabri. tao yan. aziz i. darling. adib. whom i've scared a couple of times with my face and body language.

sorry to jas. adeq. nas. syad. aziz i. irwan. for being so harsh at times. especially when it's with regards to punctuality.

sorry to terry. eric. hui ping. coz i can no longer help out with store's mds.

lastly.

sorry to wan. for having to put up with all my crap whether izzit coz i'm in a foul mood or coz i was having a crazy day and became very hyper.

it's coz of all of you that i know what it meant by relationships can move beyond that of work to friendships. i may not be close to all of you. but you guys showed me the rainbow that i come to know now at jscc.

and i wanna thank certain individuals too.

beloved. for bringing me into jscc and showing me the fun and sweat that goes on behind a fast food restaurant. without you. i will never be who i am today. =D

hun loon. mama. da jie. jie. sis. line. cl.mickey. rashid. kelvin. chenie. albert. david. for thinking so highly of me and seeing my potential before i can spot it myself. for pushing me and giving me room to grow. and teaching me things along the way so that i will not be looked down by others. =D

terry. eric. hui ping. pei fern. wan. for trusting in me and helping me make jscc's mds a better team after all the ups and downs. =D

my rezal. darling. uncle aziz. aziz i. jas. norhan. tao yan. faliq. irwan. rahmat. saleem. zul z. firdaus. faizal. khai. rasid. wan. for cheering me up and trying all sorts of funny things to juz make me smile. =D

lover 1. lover 2. for sticking by me through thick and thin. and through all the different managers that has come and gone. =D

xiao qiang. for always giving me that encouragement and supporting me. and arguing with me too. =D

*g. him. for teaching me what love is. =D

auntie fong leng. for being a mother figure to me. for listening and believing in me. and sharing with me over loads of girly giggles which korean actor is more shuai. =D

auntie sulan. for being another mother figure and always asking me to eat more. =D

son. khairul. dzul. for knowing very well how to read the expressions and body language of mine. and trying ways to cheer me up. =D

angie. xiao min. felicia. karen. for showing me how it's like being back in sec school days and taking neo prints together. =D

wan for listening to me. for enlightening me and showing me how you guys send orders. and for teaching all that i should know about how to interact with the riders. and how to let things go and for making me smile no matter how bad a day it is. =D

and to all others who made a difference in my life in one way or another. thank you.

i leave with a heavy heart coz i'll miss you guys. but i look forward to better days yet to come. i may not be as important a character in your lives as you guys were in mine. but i wish all of you the best. and stay happy and strong alright? nothing is impossible to achieve and overcome as long as you set your mind to it. =D we will still get to meet outside. (that is if you guys want to la. =D)

i promise i'll go jscc once in a while to see all of you guys too. but understand that it may not be as frequent as what i would like. coz i still have zero ideas about my tasks and responsibilities at cl3. keep in touch too alright? *hugz* no matter what happens and you guys need help. i'm juz a phone call away yeah? (although i may not pick up the calls but leave me a msg! =D) it'll be great juz to hear from all of you once in a while. =D maybe we can organize a monthly meet up or something. =D

and so this concludes the life i had at jscc. and of all that i have to let go of. and now does it make sense why i wanna do the collage?

i will miss of you. take carez yeah? =D

i'm writing this while tears juz roll down like there's no tmr.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

second post:

see what auntie koon lee helped me buy back from hokkaido!!! =D

and the amount of drinks beloved and i bought from ntuc on the way to my house. =D it costs close to S$16 in all. think we were going to sahara or something. =D


coz was supposed to meet xiao qiang in jb today to watch movie. but then he needed to send his car for repair. so there goes my jb outing and movie with him. boo! you owe me 1 lehz! =X that's how i managed to meet beloved for lunch and mapling mapling mapling! =D hahaha. i am a happy kid. i think. but coz we didn't contact each other at all today. =( sighz.
first post:

because maplesea was down and beloved came over. we mapled using the private server and from 1400 till 2100 i managed to level up from 1 to 83. yesh. you saw right. it's 83. =D here's some random shots of us fighting. dying and smiling away like idiots. i think i look pro. =D

and then we both started new characters again. so from 2100 to 2330 we leveled up from 1 to 35 or so. =D
