Beauty & The Beast

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Today marks the last day of 2008. For the first time in a REALLY LONG TIME, I feel sad that the old year is about to fade away into obscurity be gone forever.

Cuz 2008 has been a REALLY GOOD YEAR for me. I managed to turn most of my enemies into the closest of friends. I found not 1, not 2 but 3 VASTLY DIFFERENT groups of friends, whom I'm really close with, whom I really love and cherish A LOT, whom I'm willing to go all out for and whom I find it hard to let go off, being the Sec 5 S.C peeps, my bdk lepak as well as my FCX colleagues. I managed to pull my grades up for my Prelims. I managed to make a complete 180 degree turn in my life and changed almost every aspect of myself for the better(my temperamental problem and my attitude for instance). I resumed working for the same company but at a different outlet(FCX) and I'm much happier working there than I was at TM cuz of the environment, the management and most importantly, cuz of the people there, who are MUCH FRIENDLIER than SOME OF THE TM STAFF. At least the staff at FCX DON'T judge newcomers based on first impressions alone and they also DON'T have this princip, where the NEWBIES MUST TALK AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE OLD STAFF, unlike some of the staff at TM, where they(not all of them; just certain people whom I shall not mention) have this WEIRD and STUPID princip DRILLED into their small, pea-sized brains and mindsets.

As 2008 draws to a close in this final few hours, I can't help but feel sad and hollow inside. The fact that all these good memories were created, new close friendships were forged and a new life was created in this year alone made this year an exceptionally great one! I'm so gonna miss you 2008... :(

Good morning world! Lets update, shall we?

Yesterday afternoon, I accompanied my FCX adek, Adek Khairil, to his school to purchase his sec 4 school books for next year. After that, we met Tun at Tampines MRT Station before heading down to Fish & Co TM to return my RESTAURANT(NOT EXPRESS) uniforms. We proceeded to Peninsula to survey the accoustic guitar, which I wanna buy, the moment my pay comes in(it cost $55 inclusive of the duffel and its already tuned! FUCKING CHEAP RIGHT!). My adek got for himself a Bullet For My Valentine t-shirt while I window-shopped and spotted the printed t-shirt that I wanna buy.

We then moved to the Esplanade to relax and chill, as I needed the time off to take my mind of things(cuz my grandmother and my maid dropped a bombshell on me in the morning; something which I do NOT wanna get into details cuz just thinking about it alone is enough to make me tear up). We caught the live performance at the Open Area around 7.30. However, we left WAYYY before the live performance ended cuz although the band was damn good, they were playing mostly J-Rock songs with only 2 or 3 English numbers. The rhythmation and the beats were awesome though!

Headed to Fresh Box at TM around 9, where my adek bought for himself a shirt. As usual, my eye spotted a couple of stuff that I REALLY wanna get when my pay comes in(a polo t-shirt and a shirt). Honestly, I was never a fan of shirts until yesterday, when my adek told me to try on a green short-sleeved shirt, which he picked out for himself, after he had already tried it on cuz apparently, he wanted to see how I looked in a shirt. The minute I put it on, Tun and my adek were saying that I look good and that shirts were suitable for me. That got me thinking whether I should get myself a shirt with my pay.

Lastly, we headed down to FCX to eat a really late dinner(only my adek ate while Tun and myself were busy checking our schedules for the upcoming week, as well as the payroll for myself and my adek). Tun went off early cuz she wanted to go back home. I sent my adek home as well before heading home myself.

P.S : I really wanna get a new phone!

I just got back home from Petrina's Christmas Party, something which she wonderfully invited me over to attend.

After work, I hung out with my FCX adek, Adek Khairil, for a while at the back together with my FCX twin sister, Jun, and my soon-to-be former manager, Anson, (cuz he's resigning). Sent my FCX adek home, then accompanied my FCX twin sister home before heading over to Petrina's place where I met Tun, Corey, Petrina, Khaleed, Ain, Fidi and a couple of other people as well whom I didn't really know.

It was boring at first cuz of the fact that most of us were keeping quiet and not talking much. Petrina felt weird cuz we didn't really mingle around much but after a couple of drinks(being Greek Liquor and Heineken Beer), all defences and barriers were dropped and tongues were loosened as we chit-chatted, joked around, laughed, reminisced about happier times, gossiped and fooled around. We caught up on a lot of stuff and swapped stories.

*Thanks Pet for the invite! Your Christmas party was a blast! Just ensure that for next year's Christmas party, your aunt is able to make for us those delicious Margaritas that you were telling us about!*

To *you*:

I can't believe that you, of all people, would actually wanna do something so stupid that would ruin your life. I care a lot about you and I can only go so far as to advice you but if you're still adamant about doing it, then, by all means, go ahead. I already did my part as a friend to advice you but I can't stop you from doing all of these stupid things.

1:12 AM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

I suddenly felt like posting this so here goes...

To Tun:

Thanks A MILLION for always being there for me whenever I needed you! You're a great friend to have and it was thanks to your advice that I learnt how to ignore stuff that would otherwise have hurt or pissed me off. You're a great listener cuz of the fact that you KNOW how to listen when people, like me, are ranting away and letting off steam.
I LOVE YOU GAL!

To Syaqeeq:

Thanks A LOT for your care and concern and for all those times that you stood firmly by my side whenever I was riding on an emotional roller coaster. Looking back at our past, I definitely KNOW for sure that we are more RAPAT with each other NOW than we were before. You have always looked out for me and been there for me. Thankew so much bro!
I LOVE YOU!

To my younger brother Dahnial:

We have our fair share of fights and arguments but somehow, we always managed to put aside our differences and get along in the end. You were my constant source of laughter due to your hilarious jokes and you know me well enough. And yeah, you DEFINITELY know how to cheer me up whenever I was feeling down, like that time at Central. Thanks for being my younger brother for 3 solid years and thanks as well for everythingelse that you've done for me.
I LOVE YOU BRO!

To my cousin Khaleed:

You're a very loving and caring person who is NOT shy about expressing your feelings. You've always known how to cheer me up whenever I needed a boost up and you know where and when to be there for me whenever I needed someone. Thanks for your love, care and concern and thanks as well for being the bestest cousin that I could ever ask for. ROCK ON CUZZY!
I LOVE YOU!

To Fadzly:

Bro! Yeah. I know. I did thank you before but I'm gonna thank you again. Thanks for ALWAYS being there for me whenever I confided my problems, fears, worries and insecurities in you. Although you were having your own problems, you actually put them aside just to help me out and for that, I owe you A HUGE THANKEW! I really appreciate everything that you've done. Thanks as well for recommending me all those good songs. *Winks*
I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND/BRO!

To my FCX 'Twin Sister' Jun:

I never thought that I would see the day when I would meet someone who has the same characteristics as me. In a way, what I see in you is what I see in myself. Loving, caring too much for the ones we love to the extend that we get distracted, sacrificing almost anything for the ones we love, independent, strong, never buckling down no matter how stressed or depressed we are, never showing others how troubled our soul is and always putting on a facade to cover it all up and trying our utmost best to be there for our loved ones. *Did I get that right, Jun?* Thanks for comforting me at that point in time under Bob's block and thanks for your constant words of encouragement and your motivation.
I LOVE YOU SIS!

To my FCX Adek, Adek Khairil:

Honestly, when I first met you, I never expected us to be THIS close to the extend that we evolved from complete strangers to accquaintances to friends to close friends to brothers to adek-beradek. I've known you for only 2 months but it seems like I've known you for like FOREVER cuz of the fact that you know me as well as how Tun and Syaqeeq knows me and also cuz we're both DAMN CLOSE! Thanks for being there for me the other day when I succumbed to pressure and stress and broke down. *DON'T call this shout-out irritating cuz I'm expressing myself.* *winks* Thanks for your advice regarding relationships and thankew too, for being my younger brother/adek all this while.
I LOVE YOU ADEK!

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Ok people. I've only got until 5.45 to blog so lets begin.

So yeah. I finally started working again this morning at around 10 after taking a 3 day long break cuz of the pit. I'm damn tired but apparently, tonight FOH has a shortage of staff so I decided to work the night shift as well, where I'll be starting at 8 till closing. Apparently, I was supposed to end at 4 while my FCX adek, Khairil, was supposed to finish at 6 and he was thinking of lepaking with me after he finished working but since I'm working full shift today(currently taking a rest at home first), we can only lepak for a while. He sounded disappointed(I think) when I told him about this but what to do?

Staff shortage = Full shift = More dough for me to blow on shopping!

To my FCX adek, Khairil:

*Sorry, dek, for not being able to lepak longer with you today. I'll make it up to you soon aitz?*

Anyways, I'm heading back down at around 6 to lepak with Khairil for a while before resuming work at 8.

Lately, my blog posts are all about work and lepaking, isn't it? Sheesh. I know it's dull but I can't do anything about it cuz currently, my life revolves around working and lepaking with my bdk lepak and my close colleagues on my off days. I don't have time to hang out with my other pals cuz we're busy working our individual jobs. I don't even have time to roam around town or go shopping with my close pals(being my bdk lpk, my close colleagues and my Sec 5 brothers) cuz as usual, work is taking up most of my time right now. Thank God there's an upcoming chalet in January to look forward to cuz that is when our reunion will be held!

5:18 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Wondering what the title is all about? Well. Its just that almost all of my close friends are good at something. Take for example, my younger brother, Dahnial. He knows how to play the guitar and the drums. My FCX adek, Khairil, knows how to play the guitar. My cousin, Khaleed, knows how to play the guitar and sing as well. They're FUCKING talented la, those brothers of mine.

On the other hand, I don't know a shit about playing guitars although it's not for lack of trying. I did try to learn but somehow, I can never get my strumming right. So whenever the 3 of them start talking about guitars and bands and rock music(something which I'm slowly but surely beginning to love) and future jamming sessions together(apparently, according to them, I help them to MANAGE the band and help to sort out their differences), I'll be like at a complete loss for words so I end up keeping quiet most of the time.

Moreover, I'm simply afraid of losing the 3 of them. Cuz all my life, I've lost A LOT of my close friends or brothers, whom I really LOVE, so yeah. I'm SERIOUSLY afraid of losing the 3 of them(Dahnial, Khaleed & Khairil) cuz to be frank, I LOVE those 3 guys to death and I would never trade them up for anythingelse in the world. HELL YEAH! That is how much I LOVE THOSE 3 GUYS! Apart from the 3 of them, I've got 3 other VERY CLOSE FRIENDS whom I love as much as I love those 3 guys and I'm equally afraid of losing them.

4:47 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Hey yaw! I just got back home from my bdk lpk's pit yesterday.

So here's how things went down. I met my younger brother, Dahnial, my cousin, Khaleed, his younger sister and his gal and my besty, Tun, under Tun's block before heading to Pit No 3 at Pasir Ris Park. We spent like a FUCKING 1 and a half hours just to pitch the MOTHER-FUCKING tent cuz apparently, some of the poles to hold up the tent were spoilt or something. My younger brother and I then went back to my place to get the Nasi Goreng which my wonderful maid had sincerely cooked up for us before meeting my FCX adek, Khairil, at his bus stop. The 3 of us then went down to our pit where we got the food and drinks ready.

Bumped into Nooris, Afiq, Izzati, Fazreena and Ayu on our way there. Aisya, Petrina and Aisya's boyfriend were already there. We chatted and caught up on a lot of stuff and as the evening turned to night, Aiman, Bob, Jun, Azmi, Rina and a couple of other people came down too. We opened like 2 bottles of Vodka(Absolute and 42 Below) and Jim Beam Whiskey. Almost all of us except for some gals drank away to our heart's content.

After midnight, it got even more KECO! Cuz we were joking around and laughing our asses off at every little thing. We were teasing and poking fun at each other all in the name of fun!

I love the whole lot of them who were at my pit yesterday! I can't believe that 3 VASTLY DIFFERENT GROUPS(my bdk lpk, my colleagues and my close Ex-East View friends) could click together as ONE HUGE COHORT!

*To those of you who attended my pit yesterday, THX A MILLION for being there! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Hope to ton with you guys again cuz you guys are FUCKING FUN!!*

12:56 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Alrighto. Lets pick up from where we left off aitz?

So, my FCX adek, Khairil, and I got up and chatted for a while. He then went to bed again while I blogged and showered. When he woke up, we continued chatting and surfed You-Tube for the parody version of T.I's 'Whatever You Like' and laughed our asses off at the stupid-but-funny and newly modified lyrics! It was full of fucking crap man! Haha!

Anyways, yeah. In the afternoon, my FCX adek, my younger brother, Dahnial, my cousin, Khaleed, my besty, Tun, and Khaleed's friend went down to FNC TM for a while cuz I wanted to visit Lawrence(my former manager). Went to accompany my FCX adek to get his shades before heading to Sheng Siong and Shop N Save at Loyang Point to purchase the food stuff for tomorrow's pit. Dropped the stuff off at Tun's and my's place before heading to Stage at E-Hub to have our dinner and lepak.

12:47 AM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

12:11 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Ok yaw. I just woke up.. Technically..

After work ended last night, my FCX adek, Khairil, my close pals, Jun and Bob and myself walked all the way to Shop N Save at Central to get some food and beverages, before heading to my house to crash. We were supposed to ton but at around 2+, Bob knocked off, followed shortly after by Jun as the both of them didn't sleep the whole night 2 nights ago. I fell asleep around 4 while my adek fell flat around 5+. Bob and Jun woke up and went back home around 5.30 while my adek and myself continued sleeping until around 8 +. Now we're awake and ready to rumble!

I'm going out later with my adek, my other adek, Dahnial, my cousin, Khaleed and my besty, Tun, to get the pit stuff for tomorrow's pit!

To Sazli :

*HAPPY 17TH BDAY BRO!!!!*

9:36 AM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Hey y'all. Sorry for not updating my blog but I've been really busy with work this past few days. Anyway, I just ate my dinner and showered after returning home from work. So lets recap what I did for the past couple of days.

Mon (15th Dec):

Worked from 9 to 5. Hung out with my FCX adek, Khairil, and my close pal, Jun, at Stage after that. Nothing interesting happened except for the fact that I managed to get a girl's(and a gorgeous, half-Eurasian one at that too!) number at the very start when I was working yesterday! OMG! My FCX adek and my close colleague, Afiq, were fucking JEALOUS cuz they wanted that girl's number too! Hahaha!

*Guys, too bad! :)*

*Jun, I hope you're feeling better. Don't think too much about it aitz?*

Sun (14th Dec):

Lets see. Went looking around White Sands, T.M and C.S for the Sims Castaway Stories together with my FCX adek, after work! After like 2 hours of searching, I finally managed to get my hands on one at a gaming shop on the fifth floor at C.S!! All thanks to....MY FCX ADEK KHAIRIL WHO BROUGHT ME THERE!!

*Thx bro!*

Sat(13th Dec):

Went to meet Azmi at the Memorial Hall with Tun after work. Supposed to help Azmi do some stuff but ended up lepaking instead... :)

So that's pretty much it people! Now, I'm off to play SIMS 2 CASTAWAY!!

7:39 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

HELLOOO GORGEOUS! I just finished showering after coming home from work and now I'm blogging!

Ok. So where do we start? Hmm.. Lets see.. How about we pick up from where we left off yesterday?

So yesterday, I was saying that I wanted to purchase my contacts right? And I DID!! I bought myself a brand new pair of colourless contacts, together with the casing and the solution for $30!! And it's only the temporary ones, that is meant for monthly usage! I know!! It's EXPENSIVE!! Tell me about it..

After that, I went down to TM to get myself a brand new pair of shades to replace the ones I lost recently at Taka and it cost me like $19.90. So I spent a total of $49.90 yesterday on only 2 items! Sheesh..I don't even call it shopping you know. It's like I'm just going out to the Mama shop to purchase chocolates. My definition of shopping is where you would purchase like TONS OF STUFF and BURN A HOLE IN YOUR WALLET OR ATM! I'm SO looking forward to that day baby!

Anyways, after that, I went down to FCX for a while, where I simply slacked for a while with Jun and Rizal. I went off around 6+ cuz I was having a terrible headache(must be because of the rain yesterday). So I was like surfing away on the Net at home when my FCX younger brother, Khairil, called me up and asked me to come down to FCX to hang out with him. I was bored at home and my headache had somehow subsided after showering so I readily obliged.

Met my younger brother behind FCX where he was sitting together with Jun. The 3 of us went to walk around E-Hub and went back to FCX, where Jun started confiding her problems to us. Since the 3 of us were very close, I simply offered her my listening ear while my younger brother was busy typing away ALMOST everything Jun said on my iPhone on the pretext that we were in a courtroom and that, he was the 'Statement-Taker' or whatever you guys call it. Haha! Cute right?? I know. Even Jun thought so too.

We were talking when Bob and Aiman came out for their break and together, the 5 of us just listened and shared our opinions. We chit-chatted about other stuff and joked around to cheer Jun up although she was putting on a strong front(and a good one at that too!).

After Bob and Aiman went back in to work, the remaining 3 of us, being myself, my younger brother and Jun, went to accompany my bro to get himself some packet food and proceeded to hang out at Stage, where we again joked around and laughed and somehow, just let loose. All of us were literally INSANE on that night! Haha! It was one of THE most fun and memorable nights I ever had with them!

As for today, yeah. I started work at, like, 10 and I ended at 6. I didn't hang out with my FCX brothers and close pals today though cuz Nooris and Rizal went to chill with their friends, Afiq went back home early as he had stuff on, Aiman is on MC and my younger brother, is currently sleeping at home, I think..As for my other close pals,being my bdk lpk and my Sec 5 brothers, they've got their own individual plans for today or they are busy working.

*SHOUTOUTS!!*

To Jun :

I hope you're feeling better. I'm sorry if I didn't do much to help you out yesterday, as I only offered you my listening ear. Hope you manage to sort things out and yeah. If you ever need someone to confide in, I'm here yaw!

To Aiman :

I hope you recuperate soon. Do take care aitz?

And now, I'm off.

7:12 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Alrighty. As y'all can see, I changed my blogskin.. AGAIN! I think this is the 4th time I changed my blogskin...

*Flashback*

1st : Timbaland Skin

2nd: Rihanna's Rehab Skin

3rd: That dark skin(no idea of its title though cuz I stumbled upon it on the blogskins website)

4th and current skin: This Fashion Inspired Theme

Ok. So I've been bored lately, which is why I edited my Friendster profile and changed my blogskin, as well as the song playing on my blog, just to occupy my time.

Anyway, I'm off today(R.M told me to work until 2 but I point-blank refused cuz I needed a break from work and I also needed to spend time with my other friends as I've been so busy working lately). So after doing my afternoon prayers, I'm heading down to Afghan with Tun to purchase my contacts. Yep, I received my pay yesterday and I had no idea that I've already received it until my FCX younger brother, Khairil, called me up around 9.30 last night to inform me that he already received his cheque(which means that my pay has already been credited to my bank account, as I've been working for Fish & Co for like 1 year and 2 months now) and to also ask me to drop by FCX to hang out with him as he was about to finish working.

I swung by FCX and met my younger brother. As usual, he was updating me on the chicks that were dining in at our outlet after I finished working(I finished at 6, he ended at 10). We hung out near his area before he went back home.

At night, I had a conference call with Aiman and my younger brother. We chit-chatted about disgusting stuff(like cockroaches, worms and maggots). Don't ask me why but that disgusting topic suddenly came up after I viewed one of my friend's blog(luggage-infested maggots sounds familiar anyone? :) Hehe...). *Winks*

Speaking of disgusting, I was walking home with Tun the other day. I had this compelling urge to look down at my shoes and guess what?? A COCKROACH was crawling ACROSS MY SHOE!! Eww! Eww! Eww! That was FUCKING DISGUSTING! *Shudders*

I HATE COCKROACHES! Sheesh!

Oh deary me, look at the time. I really gotta pray and get ready to go off. I'll update soon yaw! I think I would be getting a pair of colourless contacts or maybe those chestnut brown ones suit my eyes better...Hmmm....

1:25 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Hey y'all! I was seriously fucking bored so I decided to blog, although I was too lazy to blog initially.

Anyways, Hari Raya Haji has come and gone and yeap! I worked on the night of Hari Raya Haji itself. I know most people might be thinking that Hari Raya Haji is a day off from work for all Muslims but I decided to work on that day anyway cuz firstly, the pay at FCX was 1.5 times the usual rate of $5 per hour, which meant that the pay for any part-timers working on that day was $7.50 per hour and secondly, I didn't wanna sit at home for the WHOLE day, rotting away while having to entertain my family members and visitors.

After I finished working yesterday night(being Hari Raya Haji), I hung out with my FCX younger brother, Khairil, at Stage. We chit-chatted about stuff, girls and our plans for our day off, which is this Thursday. I might be going to Town with him and the rest of my bdk lpk on that day or I might be hanging out with my Sec 5 bros cuz it's been quite a while since I last saw them.

*Yea, I miss you guys!*

As for today, I was working from 9 in the morning till 6 in the evening. Went back home and showered. I was like surfing the Net after that when Tun called me up, asking me to hang out with her so I readily agreed, as I had absolutely NOTHING to do at home anyway. Hung out with her at the R.C behind my place, ate dinner at my place then proceeded to e-Hub to check out the shades and the t-shirt that I've been SETTING MY SIGHTS ON!

Finally, now I'm at home, comfortably sitting on my chair, while blogging away. Great! Tomorrow I'll be working at the same time as I did today! I'm gonna be so freaking tired!

10:59 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Alright. I know Ijust blogged like less than 3 hours ago but I really gotta get this off my chest...

When I got back home from work, my maid, my grandmother and myself were simply talking about...Of all topics...Death...I've got no idea why though but it suddenly made me think..

"What will happen to me if my grandmother 'goes back home'? Will my dad take me in or will he simply cast me aside like I'm a useless piece of junk?".

I immediately broke down when I asked my grandmother that question. She also broke down and told me to go back to my Dad but things between me and my dad have NOT been good. Ok so he does buy me what I want, like this laptop, for instance, but we're so NOT close like how other sons are close to their dads.

I've been feeling really down ever since then cuz I just couldn't stop thinking of what I would do and what will happen to me if my grandmother's...Well...Gone... I think I'm selfish for only thinking of myself in this kinda matters but I'm the ONLY grandchild living with my grandparents while my other 10 cousins are living with their own families. I feel guilty for being selfish in this family matters but like I already said above(check it out for yourself cuz I'm too lazy to retype it all over again).

Anyways, I may not be the most perfect person around but just know that I'm willing to put aside my own insignificant problems to accomadate my loved ones' problems and that, I would go out of my way just to be there for my loved ones when they need a listening ear or a helping hand. I may have my own problems, fears and insecurites but I try my best to simply laugh it all off and put on a smiling facade, just so that others, especially my loved ones, will NOT know how troubled my soul really is.

Call my post EMO-SHIT or EMO-TIONAL or whatever it is you wanna label it but it's MY post on MY blog, where it's MY outlet to simply release my stressfulness and feelings that I've been bottling up all this while, so I have every damn right to blog on whatever I feel like blogging on. Technically, it's not exactly problems that I'm facing but it's simply my fear of losing the ones I love...PERMANENTLY. I've already lost my mom and my great-grandmother, whom I'm VERY close with, so I can't bear to think what I would do if I were to lose my grandmother, whom I've come to love and become really close with, ever since I broke away from the wrong company last year.

Ok. I don't even know why I'm blogging about all this but I just wanna let it all out. And by the way, people, talking about death with my grandmother and my maid actually made me realise how short and fragile life is. At any point in time, Allah can just take away your life *SNAP!* just like that if He feels like it.

So, if your loved ones are still around, regardless of whether they are your family members, siblings, colleagues or your close friends, just let them know how much you treasure them and how much you love them before it's too late cuz you never know what Allah has in store for us the next day.

7:41 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Ok. I'll simply skip the greetings and introductions and jump straight to blogging aitz?

It was SUPPOSED to be my OFF day today but Nooris called me up at around 9+, while I was still sleeping, and told me to come down to work ASAP cuz my FCX younger brother, Khai, couldn't make it for work as he was sick. *I hope you're feeling better bro*. I was feeling really groggy(I just woke up so what do you expect??) but I readily obliged cuz after all, a little extra cash in my December's pay wouldn't hurt right? Hehe.. :)

Now, I've already finished working(clocked out at 4) and I'm currently slacking at FCX while waiting for Aiman, Rizal and Nooris to finish working.

4:18 PM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Just got back home from work so-called. I finished work at 5.30 but I hung out with Rizal, Afiq and Aiman at our usual haunt. Went back home with Afiq. I was walking home after that when my FCX younger brother, Khai, called me up, asking me to meet him and accompany him to eat.

I readily obliged so I met him at the 359 bus stop, after which, we went down to FCX to eat but we were SERIOUSLY sick and tired of the food there cuz we WORK there, we HANG OUT there SOMETIMES and we EAT there like almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. My bro ended up getting himself a packet of Mi Goreng and together, we hung out at STAGE with Jun and her pal. We chit-chatted about FCX and its staff and everything else NOT related to FCX before going off.

Ok. I know my post for today is dull but I seriously wanna shit right now so I'll make my post more fun tomorrow.. In the meantime, the toilet bowl is calling me so I wanna shit first..Guess its the non-stop eating and the Marlboro Reds that are making me shit! Hahaha!

12:06 AM

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Hey..I'm blogging..AGAIN!

Anyway, I'm currently watching Survivor Gabon on Channel 5, where the winning tribe would get to view the FULL video message from their loved ones as their reward. They all broke down and cried cuz they missed their loved ones at home, which reminds me......

Syaqeeq, Saiful, Razmeer, Faris, Nabeel, Sazli and Syahrir.. If you guys are reading this, I want you guys to know that I seriously MISS YOU GUYS A LOT! I'm sorry for not being able to turn up for tomorrow's match against TPJC but I SWEAR I'm working in the morning tomorrow. It's been a long time since I hung out or went out with you guys. I miss all the times when we used to talk crap and laugh our asses off at the nonsense we just spouted out. I miss all the fun, jokes and laughter we shared back then. I miss all the stupid stuff we used to do(like trying to charge up my laptop in a MULTI-PURPOSE HALL only to find out that the hall's mains electricity was SWITCHED OFF!). I know that I'm always busy working but I honestly MISS you guys and I'm hoping that we guys could have a Guys Day Out one of these days and just hang out together and catch up on everything... :(

*I LOVE YOU GUYS!*

Ok y'all.. I just got back home from work and guess what?? I'll be working at FOH on this coming Monday and next Sunday as well!! YEEHAH!!

I requested to work at FOH on Monday cuz ever since I started working at Express, I'm always working at BOH. As for Sunday, there wasn't enough staff working at FOH on that morning so I volunteered to work at FOH on that Sunday morning as well. I mean, hey. I rarely get the chance to work at FOH ever since I started working at Express so once the opportunity comes along, just grab it while I still can!

R.M himself told me that he always deployed me at BOH cuz BOH always had a shortage of staff and he even personally apologised to me for doing so. I was like surprised when he told me that but I didn't really mind cuz I LOVE working at BOH as much as I LOVE working at FOH! HOORAY! Haha!

Ok...I went down to East Coast Park yesterday, together with Tun, Sabon and Azmi to help Azmi out in his shooting thingy. After that, went down to T.Mart with Tun to get some stuff.

Now,I'm rushing through my post cuz I gotta be at work at 11.

Btw R.M, you gave me a HUGE SCARE when you texted me, saying that I didn't turn up for work. Eventually, I found out that you *quote* 'Mass-forwarded the sms to those fuckerz' and I know for sure that I ain't one of them cuz I turn up for work according to my schedule. Haha! What a shocker it was to me...

You know what?? Today, I was working in FOH for the very FIRST time ever since I started working at Fish & Co Express. I did the runner and cashiering for a while.

Ok...So maybe I was wrong. The runner's job at FCX is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from what I'm accustomed to at FNC Tm. Most of it is the same though with only some differences like:

1. FCX: The runner has to cancel orders on the receipts once they are already out, unlike FNC Tm, where this is the Kitchen Co-Ordinator's job.

2. FCX: The runner has to place the Tar2 Sauce on the tray on which the order is placed immediately BEFORE serving the order, unlike FNC Tm, where the sauce sets are given to the customers first.

3. FCX: The runner has to clear the tables IMMEDIATELY after the customers have left the outlet, unlike FNC Tm, where this is the Station Master's or the Greeter's job.

Cashiering was ok though. However, I did screw it up by causing a cash shortage of $3 but luckily, it was already accounted for cuz someone(I have NO idea who) paid for the shortage.

Overall, I think I did an OK job as a runner and as a cashier but I still have to improve on A LOT of areas, like No. 2, for instance, cuz I would ALWAYS FORGET to place the Tar2 Sauce on the pan before seving the order. Haha! Stupid thing to do actually! Housekeepingwise was good, except that I missed sweeping up A Chip(fries) and I missed a spot while I was sanitising the shelves below the cash register.

Hopefully, FCX would give me another chance to work at FOH again cuz firstly, I have experience working at FOH, as I've been working in FOH at FNC Tm for almost a year now and secondly, I definitely KNOW that I could do better than how I did today. I just need to adjust myself and get accustomed to the FOH system at FCX cuz it's a slightly different system from what I'm used to at FNC Tm.

Anyways, I'm missing a couple of my close friends-cum-loved ones here so I hope to see you guys soon ya! Love ya!

Ok. I'm geared up to blog now!

I'm not exactly feeling REALLY happy. I'm just anticipating my upcoming pit as y'all would know by now. However, sadly, only Ella called me up, asking me regarding the pit but no one else did(except for Tun, Dahnial and Khaleed as they are the forerunners of this pit together with me). The rest simply stayed silent...

*I can hear the crickets...Kre2...Kre2...*

Anyways, I was hanging out with...Lets see...My cousin, Khaleed, his friend, Fidi, my besty, Tun, my FCX younger brother, Khai, and my FCX bro, Aiman at STAGE while planning for the pit at the same time. It was quite fun. I was doing most of the talking while we were hanging out together while my bro, Khai, was using my laptop to blog, I guess.

Bro, if you're reading this, I hope you're feeling better. Just take a breather and relax aitz? I'm sorry if I made you pissed just now but I was worried about you when you texted me, telling me that. Cuz you yourself know that you're my younger brother so OBVIOUSLY, I WOULD BE WORRIED. Hope you don't mind me passing this message to you via my blog, btw, but I didn't wanna text or call you up cuz I wanna give you time to chill first. Just take care aitz my younger brother?
