Life At 5L

First day of work was awesome. I really love my job it's not that tough really but a really good experience for me. But before I went to work, I saw this....




This car was seriously on fire. But thankfully when I reached the traffic light at the other end, the firemen came. I really wonder how it got on fire. Till today, the 'bangkai' kereta is still there.

Anyway, work. Yes, work. I met all my co-workers. Apparently, one of my co-workers was my old friend, Ina Chong who used to be in GB as well. And there's Mel, my sister's friend. (my boss is also my sister's friend) I met Julie, an Iban from Lubok Antu. She is really talented in making drinks. Even though she's not very educated, I admire how she can try and replicate a drink. Goldie (yes GOLD-ie) is our chef at Five Loaves. And then there's Thierry. A guy same age as I am. Kinda *ahem!* hot. =)

The cute guy from LEPO did come and lim teh with his tauke. And today, I made a delivery to SUPP office and on the way back, I met with cute guy and he passed me a tea cup that his tauke brought back and forgot to return. The fun thing about my job is that I do deliveries. =) At least get out of the cafe once in a while.

Overall my workload not that heavy cos not many customers these few days. So relax abit lah. At one point around 3pm like that feel sleepy cos nobody come. But once everybody come, nang hectic lah. Today, I don't know why but most of our customer's face nang gaok lah. Takut aku.... There's this 2 ladies that came, very gaok, b****y looking, sat down and smoke. I tell you, it scared the hell out of me! And I'm the one who have to serve them. =S Scary dowh...they look like they're gona scratch me and eat me anytime. And another one bukan main jeling lah.... After the whole chaos, Julie was telling me,"Bisik dik pedak mua customer nyak? Ukai main ya jeling aku..." Translation: Did you see that customer's face? Keep on jeling me... I totally understand you Ju. I just kept myself busy so that I don't have to look at their ready-to-kill faces. But there were extremely friendly customers who really made me feel better lah. Thank God for these customers!

Oh yeah, some customers very funny one. Some will ask for things that are not on the menu. For example, maggi mee goreng. So because of these customers, we suddenly have maggi mee goreng in the menu. And I had a customer who ordered Kueh Tiaw Soup which is non-existent in the menu also. Somehow my wonderful boss, Angel came up with a KT soup. Haha. How do we charge? Simple. We usually have standard pricing for noodles in a bowl. Some customers very fussy one. Yesterday they let me rasa a regular that is extremely fussy, who wants his soft boiled egg not too soft and not too hard. And he wants very little butter on his roti. And he even added ," Boil the eggs for 6 minutes." Wah.... And yes, I wrote all that down. Scared mah...have to make the customer happy. If customer not happy, my boss not happy, then I not happy also.

And staffs of 5L are busy preparing for CNY!! We made these....






So this is basically my work life, wiping tables and taking people's orders. No matter how scary and fussy people may be, I still enjoy what I do. It's still fun. My co-workers are definitely the coolest. By the way, if you wana work, there's still vacancy for waiters/waitresses cos there's definitely not enough people in here. Permanent ones are most preferred.

Day Job

I got a job!! =D And it starts tomorrow!! Woohoo!! I'll be working at Five Loaves Cafe. Same row as LEPO Music. Heehee.. I just love the shop that I'm gona work at. I'm a person who's passionate about things like ice-cream, breakfast and anything sweet. I love making breakfast. Banana French Toast. My own version of Cheese Omelette. Things like that. So I will opt for places like Desserts or Scoops. These were top on my list of work places but then my sis told me that FLC is hiring, so I didn't hesitate. FLC is more of a breakfast place. They serve stuff like Nasi Lemak, Bread Pudding, Sandwiches, Fried Noodles and they've got interesting drinks too. Ever heard of Banana Chocolate Smoothie or Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie? Tastes real good. I'm a regular customer so I know kay? Those smoothies taste darn good! If you want something refreshing and healthy, they've got Cucumber Lime Juice and Buah Kedondong Juice. Definitely a good place to go for breakfast. So come and visit me yeah.


The best part of my job is that I get 2 free meals and I don't have to work on weekends and I only work from morning till evening. No night shift for me cos.....FLC closes at 7pm. =) Ah.... wonderful isn't it? So I don't have to worry bout my job clashing with GB and music practice. =)

And I get to see that cute guy working at LEPO too. =P Sometimes he orders lunch at LFC.

I just can't wait for this working experience. =) And also my paycheck. xD

Nostalgias and Praises

oh yeah. Last night I went for the Carolling apprecitation dinner at Chef's Special. I always underestimated that place. I didn't know the food was awesome. And....there was KARAOKE!!! The moment I saw it, the temptation to sing and go crazy is there. Hahaha..... And sing and go crazy we did. All that WITHOUT ALCOHOL. People can have fun without getting wasted you know. It's better to have fun and remember it the next morning rather than have fun and wake up to find that you don't remember anything. Savour every moment and every second of your life. Don't waste it. Anyway, we sang lots of songs from our youth. (Yerdeh) Songs by Westlife, Spice Girls and the number one chosen is Backstreet Boys. I laugh at the sight of Nick Carter cos I remember my childish crush on him. I was wondering what did I find so attractive about him as a child. Haha. Come on, that hair is so passe! xD


I remember our Barbecue party at my house. We invited friends over. It was a whole lot fun and all that without booze. My older cousins came to our house at around 11pm and he was so impressed that we did it all without alcohol. Come on, we can have fun without it. Well, what I do is just provide juice and food. Bring friends over and let them mingle around. We're just plainly hanging out. It's not really a party with dancing and all that. We do have music but it's not meant for dancing. I wonder what happens if we have karaoke? =D That would be bliss.... I'm so gona ask my parents for karaoke. xD Then...next time we shall have a karaoke party!! =D =D =D Oh.....delightful!! XD


Blame the karaoke madness on my cousin's wedding and last night. Wahaha...

From Kuching to KL.

Gosh...i miss my cousins. Kinda sad that they couldn't drop by at my place before they leave. Huhuhu... Ah well. Will see them soon. I hope. =( But I do intend to go KL alone or with my brother to visit them. =) This year. I WILL go to KL. It will be my New Year's resolution to be fulfilled. If my cousin's would read this, they'd be laughing.

So I'm gona go look for a job. Get myself some cash for the trip to KL. Woohoo!! It will be an adventure.

And this year...KK. I must go. Kononnya for my cousin's wedding lah but the real intention is to go sight-seeing. Bahaha!! I'm sure Azrul would know what I mean... Hahahaha.....

Let's just hope I remember not to speak Melayu Sarawak to the Malay shop keepers there like last time. It's been a long time since I've been to KL.

2009

New Year...

It still don't feel like it.

But I've learned much in 2008. As for 2009....there will be more to learn.

I've decided to concentrate more on music. I wana polish up on my piano and pick up my guitar once more. I should be more versatile in musical instruments. Anyway, the guitar would be more challenging for me.


So, 2009, what do you have in store for me?

Where'd You Go? I Missed You So...

Wow....I've been away for long time haven't I? Didn't expect it either.

Well I've been busy. Going back to Sri Aman to visit my grandparents. The day after coming back from Sri Aman was yet another busy day of decorating and practising for the party. Cousin's wedding the following day and Barbecue at my house. So I am sleep deficit since I came back from Sri Aman. Last night was the New Year's Night Watch at church and tonight....just finishing up my Malaysian Studies assignment. And it's now nearly 1am. 2nd January 2009. It's sad that Christmas is over so soon. And the New Year is in. Fast isn't it?

1st January. I decided to spend the day with my cousins. I had fun with them. Especially in the arcade. And today was the first time I ate in Sushi King. I must say, awesome lunch I had there. Really. Sushi was good. Yummy.... Too bad I didn't buy anything though. But I saw lots of nice T-shirts which is in abundance in my closet. Ah well.

2009. It's so fast. Now it's like....2 years ago since I finished secondary school! o.O I'm old!! D= But my looks say otherwise. So what's my New Year's resolution? Haven't actually thought about it to be honest. But I did make one sometime in November. My resolution is to be able to sing and play the piano at the same time by the end of this year. Also, I'd like to discover myself even more this year and to become closer to God. These are the 3 main things that I ask for this year.

Well, I wana go off now. See ya around guys!
