let me share a story with you.

on sunday i was on shift with jiahui. no doubt it wasn't busy. but it wasn't that quiet either. but coz there were students studying and customers looking for seats i was doing my travel path up and down quite frequently. then my mac mum called me from her counter coz a customer was requesting for tartar sauce. i went over and spoke to this malay lady in her early thirties. she was demanding tartar sauce on the side. and believe me when i said she was demanding. i told her i wasn't able to accede to her request as there was food safety issue involved. what if she gets food poisioning or anything. it's her health we are talking about and we won't be able to bear that resposibility. she retorted back this 'other stores can do it. why can't you?' 'i'm not sure why other stores are able to it. but there has been emails out pertaining to this issue. would it be alright if i add more sauce on your filet instead?' and she threw her burger at me. i was like. wtf?!? but i did add in more for her and replaced her burger on the tray and thanked her professionally and she has the cheek to tell me this 'you have bad service!!' before walking off. i was like *blood boilz*. then i forgot about it and continued my shift. until today.

mickey juz called me and asked me what happened that day. so i told her. and she told me it was the same customer who feedbacked the other time about not getting the cheese shaker powder when she upsized her meal. and best. she said this time she didn't receive her cheese shaker powder as well!! (when she ordered a NORMAL filet meal with sprite.) lll-.- and she said i was doing travel path and went over cafe to talk bad about her. lll-.- i was juz talking to my baristas about the thermometers and we pin you and LDS lo.

if you as a customer did not do anything wrong. why should you be afraid of people talking behind your back? and so what if you are able to write my full name down in the email. guess what? i did nothing wrong and mickey juz told me this 'she is juz a typical complain customer. i told adel that i am not going to entertain her anymore.'

yay-ness for mickey! =D

this past week has been hell. and my boiling point is almost reaching le. all coz of my darling 1st asst. know how to talk but don't know how to work. well done. let's see how long more i can take. she's going on 11 days leave. let's see how many schedules she can produce.

simple emails she also don't know how to take charge and revert. muz i ask then she do. how to share my burden? more like add on to it. lll-.-

... ...

time to go fajar to use com. cannot log into VPN. super upsetted. =/

let's get ready to RUMBLE!!

been going crazy over preparation for the BIGGEST promotion of the year as well the service workshop. basically juz this 2 alone has drained almost all my energy for the past 2 weeks. of course there were other factors like meetings and drinking and chilling sessions. but this has been what we have all been waiting for.

spent yesterday at store coz supposedly there was a last minute travel but wasted my time coz they called it off only 4 hours after they were scheduled to arrive. went dinner-ing with my hgw kakis and mum. and then had an impromptu meet up with *j and slacked till like this morning 5.30am. =) slept till like 6.08pm and going back to sleep in a while.

this is gonna be another hell of a month (till Oct) and i hope my team and i can last till then.

it's gonna be bad. it's gonna be xiong. but i have faith in us making it through. we will survive till then and look forward to a good crew outing in Nov.

GCs. i command you to walk in my doors.
Sales. i command you to stay and multiply.
CSO. i command you stay young.
Fast. i command you to reach for the moon.
Crew turnover. i command you to stop walking out my doors.
Viruses. i command you to be banned from entering my territory.

this is the last stretch. WE WILL WIN THIS WAR.

once again. am back here to blog.

the past 1 week has been hell. what with the long working days and all. finally got my ass back home early today for dinner. although half was da bao and half was homecooked. it was still good that i could come home for a meal. been eating out too often. with more often than not. skipping my meals.

work has been hell. coz i made a promise to myself that from this month onwards. i will change my style of working. no more pitying the managers that they work long hours. what needs to be done needs to be done. if i want the result. this has to be the way. so i guessed the first few days they were kind taken aback. but now they know what i want and what needs to be done fast. except 1 fellow. sighz. i lost my temper 3 times in a week coz of her. and cried twice within this month juz coz i felt so stressed and handicapped. no doubt the rest of the team are helping me much. but juz 1 her around and i'm already falling apart.

thank god for sis. mum. *y. *d. *j. lent their ears and vented out things. sometimes only when i let it out can i think more clearer and sensibly. =/

and i realized that since that day last month. everyday without fail *j will text me. initially was juz on fb. msgs were few. but when she got her iphone and wastapp. it was pure spam. not in the bad sense. but more of the sense that there was someone there to get me out of bed. who wishes me good night without fail. in between her breaks or my breaks. we do msg too.

like today. she went 'shopping' for me. and we were mass spamming lo. XD but i am a happy girl. yest she knew i was super pissed so she bought something to cheer me up. =) and i was actually very touched. =) simple gestures but it means a lot. that she cares ba. bought island creamery that day for her coz i knew she was working late. then today she came by store coz we made a deal to have breakfast before work. =) the minute i saw her text and the minute i turned and saw her queuing. it seemed like my heartbeat hastened. and i could feel myself flushing. =P

maybe it isn't really that much of anything but a simple crush.

been quite sometime since i crushed someone. sister did asked me if i would ever tell *j i like her. but i guess not. i don't want what happened to *her and me to repeat on *j and i. i like the way we are now. although there is that grey area that i don't really wanna step in until i get to know her better. true that i used to be a bi. but i didn't expect that i still am today. or probably coz it's her. no la. i don't think anything will or can happen between us. i don't wanna place too much hope again. later end up with major disappointment. but if anything happens. it'll be a plus point for me ba. IF it happens. i will not stop it. =)

and no doubt on wednesday i wasn't supposed to meet her. but coz someone fly her aeroplane so i said after i do my stuff we can meet for dinner. which we did. and it's been sometime since i wanted to colour and draw stuff. we were playing with crayons in a corner of island creamery that day. am going to meet her on mon after her work. another friend is coming along. i don't know if i should be happy or not. hmmmz. anyways. shall see how it all goes. at least we're going out. =)

okie. PnL done. gonna go sleep le. tired! and that pig went to sleep le! =) good nightz world! =)

Crush

I was feeling a little blue during dinner and after. Coz my cheese is leaving for good and alien and cheese and I spent time reiminiscing about the past we shared in cck4. Such beautiful memories.

Was still thinking on the walk back home. And still thinking now. Whatever it is. The fact is that she's going over to alaska for good and unless I fly there. There's almost no chance of meeting.

Then was replying's *j watsapp. And she somehow managed to make me smile. It's interesting how we met and became such random friends. But I treasure every moment of it. It's like having a boyfriend and not like it at the same time.

Somehow or rather. We've been texting very frequently. Almost every day before work. During breaks. After work. And it's more interesting when we text the same thing at the same time.

Maybe I wouldn't classify this as love. More of a crush and eye candy ba. =) and yeah. We're meeting again this month to go another weird place after she ends work. Chinese garden. =P

She's off on Wednesday and so am I. Maybe can see if can go some place too? Like botanical gardens or some park? Or sembawang beach? Or airport and send cheese off... =)

Shall see how it goes ba.

Shall rest early tonight. Early day tmr. Nightz world! =)

went to catch smurfs yest with alien! predictable show but cute la. hahaha. i smurf you alien! =D

caught cars 2 alone in 3D at shaw lido. and the whole theater had 3 people including me. and all were adults. hahaha. i like watching movie alone in a not crowded cinema! =P

watched this alone also. but it was kinda creepy. especially coz i watched it after going to the zoo with *j.

getting my mooncakes tmr!! =D and snow skinned mooncakes made me thought of 1 person. =/ anyways. am off today and tmr. so was doing work and tracking today. continuing tmr. and i went for a ride for an hour and a half. tmr going to meet alien and cheese for dinner at westmall. =) cheese's going back cebu and then to alaska for good le. =(

suddenly feeling sleepy. no idea why.

probably shall sleep in a while. should i go out on wednesday? =) she's off also. =)

yarz. think i read my book for a while before sleeping. i think my sentences are already not making any sense. no? =)

tatA world! =D

Random-ness

Had a good start today yet halfway through it ended on a sour note. So pisses till I refuse to talk to people except for *y. And I juz broke down totally. I haven't cried in front of people for very long. But this is way too much. There's always a point to my tolerance and some have pushed it way too far.

But to *y. Thanks for being there once again. Really much much appreciated. =)

... ...

Went out with *j that day too. And am going out again this month too. =)

Been super tight on dates this past 2 weeks. This month is not going to be any better. So yeah. Managed to squeeze in a good and exotic food session with Eve. Mich. Dave and Jon. Much enjoyable!! =D
