ORD... finally.

121208, the day i ord. technically speaking, it's supposed to be on the 14th, but as it's a sun (non-working day), i collected my pink ic and left the camp for good. happy? not really, more nostalgia. i miss everything as soon as i stepped out. missing all the things i did, went thru, and the greatest frens who went thru together. though kf told me not to look back when i got thru the rp gate, i just couldn't resist it. at least 1 last glance...

once again, a GREAT BIG THANKS to all who were with me during my nsf years, couldn't thank u all less... for so many things. *sobs*

well, the whole bunch of platoon 5 plus those who orded then met for a movie, the day the earth stood still. most turned up. anyway, the show wasn't that nice. no climax, too short. too impossible and senseless. recommended only for keanu fans.

after, that very short 'celebration' for us who just orded, me jam and kf left for our job. so speaking, i do not have rest cos i start work the day i retire. for 6.50 an hr at the cavern aroozoo, i work as a part-time waiter. being the pioneer batch for the bar (as fun as it sounds), we had a lot of saikang to do. including, lots of moving heavy things, arranging furniture, loads of spring cleaning, painting, mopping whole floors, more cleaning... before the soft launch on sun. on the opening day, we served, cleaned, and did everything an f&b waiter usually does. but, as it's the first day, everything isn't that settled, and one of them is the dish washers (man or machine), as both were unavailable for use. one of the most hated chores at home was to wash dishes at home, yet i had to do it for hrs! i tell u, i've never washed so many dishes. huge kitchen trays, bowls, pots, pans and cutlery that were used by chefs like they were expendables, coupled with diners' plates and cutlery, mounted everywhere in the dishwashing area. on the floor, table, sink, everywhere. oh my gosh, it was a mountain, no kidding, and it never stopped growing, even as we washed as fast as we could. they were so dirty, esp those from the kitchen and they spammed and used like free. like use a bowl to put something for a few seconds then transfer to another plate and throw all not-really-used dishes in the sink. just cos they aren't the ones cleaning them up. and the tap they use sucks. not really high pressure as it should be to spary away hard stains, yet too little to rinse properly. i rather use a normal tap. wash for so long, skin tears, detergent destroys hands. sigh, me jam and kf really had it. the mist from the tap constantly srayed water with food onto us, causing food stains on our uniforms. hello, so smelly and unkempt how to go back out to serve customers? no apron or gloves meh? sorry for all thw whining, but i feel mistreated, thought i know it's part and parcel of an f&b job. on sun, after working till 1 on sat, i had to report at 11 and worked till 1am. 14hrs! haha. though it means more money as it counts by the hr. but tiring lor, cant sit down. very little time to eat meals, drink water and use the bathroom, or learn the cashing system. even drinking water also must go hide. felt like a slave after living much as a diva... haha. have to work lah. if not i have no more allowance. sigh, used to have a stable income for 2 years until i got retrenched recently. no work=no money!

anyway. will be away for sometime (from blogging i meant), cos working or doing uni stuff so busy lah. take care in the meanwhile. will come back as long as i can. luckily i'm on leave today, finally, a break, so i can update! haha.

i went to malaysia today, with pg, ben, ys and wiyatno. due to time limits of the 1 day, only went to city square in jb. haha, they all went there for a shopping spree and boy were they skilful in making use of the malaysia annual year end sale to 'kill'! haha. most went home delighted with their good buys!

ok, love u all, frens and fam!
