hey friends, I officially quitted coffee bean and tea leaf though it wasn't a pleasant leaving but it certainly did leave me some good memories.

Hmm. Lets start with the bad first so later I can cheer myself up with those good memories.

Bad

~I cut myself for like zillion times which left scars on my hand.

~I have to dress myself in that ugly apron, shirt and pants which made me look like some parapara dancer. Haha.

~I have to carry heavy stuffs which made my veins on my hands more obvious. Eek!

~I cannot make my nails.

~My handphone by a staff there which resulted me to part with my sims card for nearly a month!

~I have to bear with the mood swings from the managers.

~I have to bear with the bullshit and crap from them.

~I have to bear with the criticism from one of them when I think she seriously didn't take a look at her reflection in the mirror before saying it.

~Too many internal conflicts and backstabbing.

~Way to low pay.

~ need to bear with unreasonable customers tat demand so much thinking that we are well paid when we are obviously not!

Good

~I get to enjoy the water battle in the outlet and the toilets at taka basement 1.

~I get to see what ngee ann city looks like at 2 am.

~I get to go to taka’s rubbish dumping area which not all can go. Haha.

~I get to enjoy free drinks which I rarely ask for! I dun noe why. I only drank Malibu, sunrise, ice teas, honeydew, mango, pure vanilla and pure choc I think. Shit. Ive nvr try the mocha! Argh. Ok. Nvr mind.

~I get to learn more about coffee and tea.

~I get to noe the cleaners at taka. Haha. its so cool to say hello to them when u are in outside clothes.

~I get to talk to a lot a lot of angmohs.

~I get to noe regular customers. And u always feel happy when u can remember their order and give it to them before they can even order.

~I get to meet quite a few celebrities. Diana ser, james lye, dennis keller, Felicia chin, zoe tay’s husband and son, Jamie teo, Daniel ong, Fiona xie and some artists tat I dun noe their name.

~All because of my phone tat got stolen, I get to go to police headquaters to record my testimonial.

~I better understand the art of handling ridiculous customers.

~I learnt how to make hot and ice drinks. Its really a great sense of achievement.

~I learnt to do those cleaning, sweeping and mopping much faster and cleaner.

~I get to improve my communication skill when talking to those angmohs.

~I meet great friends over there.

Some that are not mentioned are because I forget and some I dun even bother to mention casue they are not great. Anyway. I noe so many pple casue most of them came around 1 mth or so and they left. Haha. there should be more cause some I nvr even see them once and they left!

Hmm.. though seems tat there are much more good things in cbtl than bad. But some bad things can outweigh all the good points. And I think Ive learnt what I can learn in this 2 years and 5 months. i have been missing out alot eversince i start working over there. i need to get a life! haha. i wanna learn something! knitting maybe then go exercise, then go do some craft then go visit my relative.i dun wan to regret. i dun wan to spend my time working and working. Im jus 19! So im not going to find a job for now. I shall jus stick with my tuition.

Ps: hope u have made the right decision for yourself by not leaving. Since this is ur decision, the path that u wanna go for now, then I hope u will be happy over there. but bear in mind that u also have to tolerate those unhappy stuff that might occur cause that the path that u have chose. And if u really come to one point that u really cant work there anymore, then leave. It will do u good. Why stay there and keep hoping that they will change and be a better friend. take care ok? Though we will still meet up! Hugs!

Now at level 16. the first day here. Have been located at level 21 because 16 is under renovation and so now its completed and we are here now. yesterday was packing my stuff into those boxes. Argh!! I miss 21. though the place and pple didnt start out to be nice but 2 months! I have been there 2 months. And the people are real nice when I get to noe them! Haha. I miss them. Bid goodbye to them yesterday, was feeling super emo partly because yesterday was the last day that I would be seeing my department’s colleagues and supervisor. They left for Oakland today. 1pm flight. Haiz.. and is for 2 weeks. They will be coming back to Singapore only on my last day. So I cant get to see them either. this storey is so empty!! 20 plus pple left for Oakland. but I get to use new table, chair, cupboard and drawer. Ahah. Nice nice. I like. Contradicting…

Ok. So yesterday went home early cause the movers need to move our stuff over to level 16 and with our com packed inside the boxes, we got nth to do. So get to leave early lor. The trip home was quite terrible. Super emo. And the worst thing was Im not going home. Im going for tuition. But it turned out not bad. Went to amk hub to have mos burger. Erm.. their customer service is abit.. how should I say, weird? Haha. three counters. The staff taking orders seem to have a long day. Their tone of voice sound really sleepy and dull. Is like some robot la.and their service is quite slow. Erm at least for those girls taking pple order. Really slow. If they were to come to cbtl, haha. I guess the queue will really goes to paragon le ( this is a inside joke, where cbtl staff will keep pressurize those doing cashier that their queue is at paragon le cause we are taka). And the ebi burger I ordered was like super shrunk in size!! Nearly half. wanted to have ice- cream to cheer myself up but couldn't find haha or maybe too lazy to find. But bought three boxers for15 bucks. Super cute! I like. Haha. tat cheered me up a little.

Was complaining to him yesterday how emo I felt after I left NOL and he asked whether need him to find me mah. And he called me to later to check whether im okay ma. hmm..he made my day with those simple words and actions. Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it =)

Adjust to the lowest 18 degrees for my aircon and I still feel damn hot for the past few days. Went to work on sat. and on the way there, received quite a few stares from strangers. =(. When manager saw me at and my lobster’s face and arms. She asked me dun do cashier and service, she say I will scare away those handsome guys. Argh!!!! I was so red that I think I got skin disease myself. Haha. but theres one sweet customer who asked me whether I played golf the day before. Haha. I say I went cycling. He said “ ya. is nice”. Haha. maybe he jus wanna make me feel better. And I said is very painful. He asked me to put more lotion. Haha. customers do make my day!

Was talking to ah luma tat day. She encouraged me to engage in some meaningful activities. And it seems that I am good for nth!! Seriously la.

In pri sch. Zhonghua Pri sch.All I can remember was I won the most courteous award and some trophies in running. The courteous award was a joke. My teacher nominated me and told me that he wrote in the form that I helped an elderly crossed the road which was obviously not true. [though I did help b4 ok? Haha] so during the interview, the interviewer asked me if on my birthday, someone gave me a present which I dun really like and when the person asked me whether I like the present ma what will I tell he/her? Haha. I think I say I will tell the person it's the thoughts that count. Okok. I was pri 5 then. And somehow or rather, Im quite confident that I can win that award.haha. and I did. I was the Most Courteous Student in the whole cohort. Haha. went to some hotel to watch some performance with my teacher. Then went back school to receive the award on stage. Hohoh.

Next. Start participating in sch track meet in pri 4 I think. And I like 100m, 200 and 4x100m the best! So during the heats, I know of this girl tat can run really fast, and during the finals, we were running for the same 200m event. and at that point of time, I really think I cant beat her though I did quite well for my heats. And soon, when we were running like mad to the finishing line, it rained. And I ran and ran and when I realized. I crossed the finishing line first! Haha. I was shocked! really shocked. it's a fierce competition and I won! And I seriously think it's the rain that helped me. and so joined track and field team after that. Trainings which caused some injuries that I will nvr forget. And going national track meets.the anxiety and tension. Oh my. Ok. So tats the summary of my pri sch life which I thought was the most memorable parts. Haha.

Sec sch. Deyi sec sch. Joined girl guides because I love their uniform! Learnt drills, songs, pitch tent, outdoor cooking, gadgets. Chop wood. Went for camps. Become a patrol leader. Plan weekly meeting, lead my patrol and stuff. I enjoyed preparing for the camp. Like who to bring wat and what my patrol want to cook during the outdoor cooking. Went for courses like anti drug course. First aid, civil defence,. Learn how to perform CPR. And its really great when u noe how to do it. Haha. but now forget lo. Then learn how to bandage different injuries, then how to operate a fire extinguisher, and I nearly put into good use when my house there got a mini fire that time, just a week after I attended the course. Ahha. Of course I didn't then.

Was involved in the moving of old to new campus. Sec 2 second semester. We had a grand march past to our new campus which is jus a 5 mins walk from our old one. New sch is nice. We have a different outlook as compared to other schools. We didn't paint our outer wall. It was bricks colour so somehow or rather, it looks like some college from other countries. Then participated in the national day march past. One from each uniform group. And suai suai me and only one patrol leader got marching background. And scissors, paper, stone! And its me! okok. So rehearsed for tat. And on that actual day! I got fever! Idiot. And we were expected to stand infront, of the flag pole when the fellow there was reading through the national day message from the blah blah blah minister. Ahha. I also dun noe who. And I was feeling really awful. I cant move and I was perspiring like mad. I nearly vomited. Control myself. and no choice I still have to cover my mouth with my hand when im not suppose to move! Haha. really no choice la. Then for like 30-40 mins later, we then marched off.

Cried in school for the first time. witness some canings on my friends in my class. We are asked to see the canings la. Idiot. Sicko. Was caught by discipline mistress once for my curtain hair before. Had this idiotic bio teacher tat like to wear long shirt and long long skirt. Like shes teaching in some -10 degrees country. There was once we had a extra lesson after school for bio. Then we decided to pon. I think all left. But in the end, the next day its those tat said “ why not lets leave” that were punished. I was angry la. Didn't they left too? so we went to apologise to that teacher. Hmm.. so everything was okay after that.

My class was caught by discipline master for having rubbish on the floor, we were asked to stay back after school and cleaned our class. Is really cleaning la. Removed all furniture then use the fire hose to wash. And the discipline master was saying he will ask one of us to lick the window panes to see whether its clean ma. Haha. but dun think he really ask any of us. cannot remember.

Get to know AH LUMA in deyi. Cannot forget the days when we sit at the stair case and sing jay songs. Buy fish/chicken burger and lemon tea. Gossip. Witness some stupid bullying by my class mate at my the other classmate also. Lame.
Had this book which served as our messenger book when we were separated in sec 3.

Went Malacca during sec 1 for some geo or history trip. nice nice nice. I always like those class outings where we can buy snacks and eat in the big bus. Laughed on the bus and did crazy stuff as a class.

Sat between tung and chin leng for sec 3 and 4. tats when I became for chatty and crazy. I was the one that helped tung to watch out for teachers while she slept in class. Was always doing stupid stuff in school. I love sec sch!

Poly. Nanyang polytechnic. Im a slacker. Didn't join any cca. jus purely tuts, lectures, eat and home. Haha. met shauna and xue li is the greatest joy over there. was in the same class with them in yr 1. then yr 2, we got separated. Me and shauna in the same class. Xue li in another. We turned mad in yr 2. me and shauna are really crazy pple. Have this handshake that is shared only between us. we always laugh like mad and I really cant imagine the days in school in yr 2 without seeing my dearest pok. We are like twins la. We are two lonely but really happy soul that are stucked to each other in campus. And now having attachment in NOL. Will be going back to school by end of april. Life of yr 3 by then. Hmm. Coming to attachment make me really noe how good it is to study. U only need to account to urself and ur parents when u are studying. But in working society, u need to report to ur boss la, ur boss’s boss la, ur colleagues la. Argh. There will be so many back stabbing in the real world. I loathe it! Im going to take a break after graduation and enjoy my life first.

Part time job. Coffee bean and tea leaf. Joined in the big family when I finished by Os. Dec 15 2004. so it has been 2 years and 3 months le and still counting. Happy and bad memories. Enjoyed the water war in outlet when the whole ngee ann city belongs to us. haha. was throwing ice, whipped cream, coffee extracts, cakes, eggs and more more more at each other. But theres also internal conflicts among staff, and so right now. many had quitted. More had come and left too. its really a tiring job. Had to make drinks, do cashier, do service, clean table, wash dishes, glasses, throw rubbish, sweep floor, mop floor and a lot of dirty stuff. Do cashier is always the most tiring job for me. Often met stupid customers.like they will ask whether is the ice- blended drinks sweetened? [ I think they jus trying to act pro with the word “ sweetened”], and order frappacunio[ dun noe who to pronounce but its for starbucks] when we are ice-blended[ cbtl] ., Chicago cheesecake they will pronounce as chi-cha-go. Oreo cheese cake, they will say olay cheese cake. They will ask why the coffee is watery.[my friend actually said because its liquid!] haha. they will have special requests sometimes tat really make u wanna box them.

But some are nice. And those majority that are nice are Eurasians. They appreciate ur help. They will thank u and smile. They will give u the money by 2 hands. And those small gestures really make ur day. Whereas some can come in with a super black face as if we owe them 1 million bucks. Last sat I was working. And theres this man who said ;” WHERES UR ICE WATER?!” I got a shocked la. Its actually over at the complimentary counter but I guess it run out. So I get him a cup. He didn't even say thank you or wat la. And left. And worse still, he jus came in for ice water. Didn't even order any drink or wat. Still dare to demand FREE ice water like a loan shark sia. Damn him, I hate stupid and rude customers. U all are jus coming in for the most 1 hr, cant u all be more polite and nice? We are there for like 8 hours or more. And if every customer can be more nice and polite, it will definitely make our day and we will treat u better! It's a win-win situation. And I always treat polite customers nicer. Haha.

Okay, tats my life. Actually haven talk about my childhood. Hmm. One day. I will blog about it. Haha. this entry will serve as a memory recovering tool if my stm really worsen and I cant remember anything. Which I think I will sooner or later.
Hmm. My life is quite pathetic. I really need to engage in sth meaningful. Im joining ah luma for some voluntary work on the last fri of this mth. Hoho. I WAN TO MAKE MYSELF USEFUL!!!

Haha. in the past, I also ate a few pieces from my friends and yesterday I finally ordered a whole plastic container for me!! jus me!! hoho. I didn't dip much cheese though. Im not fond of cheese. But Im getting use to it! =)

I have a really emo friend. a very very emo one. www.yl-jay.blogspot.com. I think the tears she shed for one day is equivalent to my one year’s tears. Haiz.. she showed me this girl’s blog. Really ke lian. And I wanted to be emotional and shed tears for the girl like wat my friend did. But I cant!! Idiot. I wan to cry!! I seriously think that crying make my vision clearer than ever. Haha. cry cry cry..
