Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it between us
You and me got a secret love, baby
Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it on the hush
You�re not mine, got a secret love, baby

It was a summer�s day
You went walking by
She didn�t notice as you turned
And you discreetly winked your eye
And I remembered you
From back in the day
You were the boy I couldn�t breathe without
The one that got away

Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it between us
You and me got a secret love, baby
Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it on the hush
You�re not mine, got a secret love, baby

Now that I found you
How can I let you go
You know I got my man at home
But baby, I still need ya so
And I know you ain�t
Never leaving that girl
But everytime you touch me, baby
It feels so incredible

Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it between us
You and me got a secret love, baby
Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it on the hush
You�re not mine, got a secret love, baby

Secret lovers

You and me, you and me, you and me, baby

Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it between us
You and me got a secret love, baby
Oh baby, oh baby
Come give it to me now, baby
But keep it on the hush
You�re not mine, got a secret love, baby

Oh baby, oh baby� --Mariah Carey

i went to the Blush! sale at TM with Shafa just now. bes giler bodoh! haha. even though it's incredibly small, therefore the range is limited. but everything was 18 bucks, so i had fun buying 3 pieces.
i have realised that i have absolutely no chance, not even a smidgen with Bun, so i'm just gonna like him quietly, if he doesn't mind. but even THAT is proving to be hard. like just now, he liked some girl at table 22, and he was discussing her with Stella as we cleared table 7. then i snapped at them, to pass me the remaining cups on the table. and Stella asked me, "why, you jealous ah?" and Bun added, "yah, you jealous ah?" and i just had nothing to say, so i was like, "kepala hotak korang ah!" and cepat2 belah. then she keeps asking me if Bun is my boyfriend, and asking him if i'm his girlfriend. how incredibly annoying. what is WRONG with her? things got to a head when Ah-Boy asked me, "you like [insert Bun's name here] ah?" depan khalayak ramai! i wanted to kill myself. and strangle Stella, at the same time, for perpetuating dark and ugly rumours which are just gonna screw up my work life.
so, other than that, the past few days have been great. i went to the new Marina Square outlet with Baba on opening day, and it was so cool. i really like it cos it's very open and everything, sort of like the T2 outlet. and the former Funan ITM RM is now the MSQ RM, Kak Nores told me, so he was just there, smiling at everyone, and generally looking like the perfect guy. haha. even Baba likes him, and that's saying something, cos he's old, even by my standards. haha. Baba was like, "everytime i look at him, i have to remind myself that he's old.." and i told her, "kalau aku, everytime i look at him, i have to remind myself that he's happily married with kids.." haha. anyway a whole host of other RMs and AMs were there, so the service was excellent, of course. and there was this CSR with big eyes and cool baggy jeans, whose name i was trying to read but never quite caught. Baba and i had our favourites, sea and fish pas respectively [and 5 and 6 scoops of ice-cream respectively]. haha. sedap bodoh. but i was dying of pee-ness. yup, i had a great time, only problem was getting there. it's extremely inaccessible if you've never been to the revamped Marina Square before. but other than that--great!

i was quite surprised that they put me as cashier today. i mean, it's friday night and all, and i don't really have that much experience. but it was all good. besides me dying of kepenatan at different points of the night.
ooh and after work we got to eat the cookies and cream ice-cream cake. i was in heaven. it's just amazingly nice. duh. i had *ahem* 2 slices. which means my noble vow not to eat anything tonight has just already been broken into teeny tiny pieces. haha.
ooh and bun was unexpectedly working today, cos shasha was sick [or so i surmised], so he did OT till 11. ah, the power of fate.

it's 26 may. which means that it's the birthday of [possibly] the first cute guy i've ever liked. haha. i still remember when yasmin asked him his birthday, in the hall. haha. okay whatever. just reminiscing.
CCD today was this mixed-looking vik at table 8, with his girlfriend. he's all tall and fair, with that classic vik nose and big eyes and dark wavy hair. and he's all cool, too, he practically looks like a vik version of the hugo boss soul guy--all long-sleeved black shirt with sleeves rolled up, pale blue jeans and shades hung on the neck of his shirt, that practically match MY topshop shades! ah very cool. and he was quite friendly too. actually they both were. he had curry rice, ILT and an ice-cream blended. great taste, i say. haha. and i was just standing there, looking at them, when he got up, opened the door of the storeroom, and stepped in. i was really shocked. but too tired to react.
after work i actually bummed around till 8, and then i walked home. i tried to walk as slowly as possibly, but at traffic lights there IS an unwritten minimum speed. haha. but it was quite fun, actually. there was a stretch of pavement lined by mango trees, and there were 2 mangoes on the ground [one slightly crushed]. and it got me thinking, what would happen if a mango happened to drop right on my head? anyway i concluded that i'd prolly faint right away, being as lembek as i am. less that 5 seconds later, i heard a loud PLOP sound, and when i turned around, i saw a third mango on the ground. barely inches away from me. oh the irony. i am SO glad it didn't fall on my head.

i was feeling depressed this afternoon, so i went for some retail therapy [a bottle of wella colour cream developer AND a new tube of lipgloss]. i am seriously overbudget now. this is crazy. it DID make me feel a little better, though. and at least i didn't get 2 new tubes of lipgloss. AND i have to give myself credit for not even stepping into forever 21, even though it was temptingly uncrowded and all. after retail therapy was bus therapy. that was good too. i love it when the bus goes on the ECP, it's such a great view. it reminds me of when my sister [and kumara] used to send me home from skl.
thought i'd be late for work, turns out i was like, the earliest to arrive. again. haha.
there was a pair of service auditors who spent like, hours there. one male, one female. the guy is actually quite cute, and he speaks with an accent i can't place. he's chinese, i think. yes. very cute. like budak2ishly cute.
bun was working, yay, but nothing new about him--he was just effortlessly cute as usual.
rafidah started fountain today, and i told her not to master it too quickly, cos once she's done, *I*'m due to start fountain. can't have that happening now, can we? i mean, i'd prolly cause a fountain jam from 5 all the way till 11. haha.

i got to work like, super early today. i guess i was just so excited at the prospect of working with bun again. haha.
CCD was this tall and fair malay guy with his "mama". argh a mummy's boy! and so cute and cool! seriously, he's really cool--like, skater-ish. i hovered around their table until they got me to take their order. haha.
i have this funny sinking feeling that bun knows i like him too. damn! i didn't want him to know--i mean, i'm obviously not one of those delicately-built John Little girls i'm sure he likes. oh whatever. oh just now he was asking me about the new CD i'd brought in to play, about the song that went "i'll make love to you.." and i was so surprised when he said that he loves the song, and that he's liked it for a long time, and he never managed to find out the artiste. wow. i mean, when he said last night that he likes GC and all that, i was like, "darn we're not music soulmates!" and today, everything changed. okay i know i'm being overdramatic or something, but i ADORE I'll Make Love To You! it's freakin' sweet and romantic, and everything! okay whatever.

Boys are cheats and liars, they're such a big disgrace. They will tell you anything to get to second base... ball, baseball he thinks he's gonna score. If you let him go all the way then you are a whore... ticulturist studies flowers, geologist studies rocks. The only thing a guy wants from you is a place to put his cock... roaches, beetles, butterflies and bugs. Nothing makes him happier than a giant pair of jug... glers and acrobats, a dancing bear named Chuck. All guys really want to do is - forget it, no such luck.--from The Hot Chick. loves it!

yoohoo! haha i worked the 12-11 today, so i'm crazy tired right now.
actually i was working 12-5, but joseph didn't turn up for his 3-11, so wan ing asked me if i could OT till 11. okay, see, i knew that joseph wouldn't turn up, like, weeks in advance. cos he already told me that he wasn't gonna come. it was supposed to be his last day, plus it's his birthday. so. yes. the choice was clear, i suppose. so this morning i was thinking that if he didn't turn up, and if bun was working the 5-11, i'd readily accept any OT offer from them. turns out bun WASN'T scheduled to work, so i "negotiated" with wan ing and decided to work till 9 instead. then at like 5 i found out that bun WAS working after all--he was supposed to replace hannan. so of cos, i was THAT much bouncier after hearing that little nugget of information. haha. then at like around 7-ish, i realised that we'd be quite understaffed for a sunday, if i left at 9. and, feeling sorry for azhar since he'd have to do closing alone [and also looking forward to spending at least 2 more hours with bun], i decided to stay till 11 after all. haha.
some customer left behind one of those imitation livestrong bands, and crystal spotted it, so she gave it to me. haha. and i immediately put it on--i've been wanting one of those, but they're so fad-dy(?) right now that i didn't wanna actually BUY one. anyway then shasha started suaning me infront of bun, about us both wearing the bands or whatever. argh buat malu! but you know, he's just so adorable.
i had alot more to say, but i just realised it's all about bun. so. takpe. haha.

man i am stuffed.
work today was great, by anyone's standards.
it was non-busy, even though it was friday night and all. and since i was doing alfresco, it was even less busy. so yes, an easy night for me. and that's not all. one of my customers left a box of desserts behind. like, it was just sitting there on the chair. and i stood there uncertainly, wondering if she was going to come back. i opened the box and there were 2 slices of thingies. so i was like, okay, and i put it in the cashier area with a sticky saying "table 61 (2 ladies)". but by closing time, she still hadn't returned to claim her stuff, so diana and i split the booty--one slice each. she had the cheesecake, and i ate the other one, which turned out to be a really yummy slice of blackforest cake. the only time i like cherries is when they're in blackforest. so that was great customer(s) #1. great customer(s) #2 was this aimee mother-daughter pair, who ate like $22.40 worth of food. that's all! but the daughter like, waited for me to come back out and personally put 2 bucks in my hand! i was just so overwhelmed by gratitude [i'm about to be broke again]!
yup it was an easy, rewarding night. and of course, bun was working, which made it all the more fun. joseph was just flirting shamelessly with him all night!!! takleh angkat man! oh but bun is so cute, and just now he showed me his phone wallpaper [spiderman], saying, "cantik eh?" haha. cute.
ohyes. Cute Stripes wheeled his bicycle past just now, with his gf. he was wearing his uniform, and this time, his nametag was--wait for it--pinned onto his cap, which he was STILL wearing on his head! which leads me to conclude he's still the same slenger guy not-so-deep down inside. haha. but still cute, of course.

carrie sang this in the latest Idol. i really really love the nangisability of this song! and i even prefer her rendition to the original!
I was alright for a while
I could smile for a while
Then I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
When you stopped to say hello
You wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you
Then you said so long
And left me standing all alone
Alone and crying

Crying, crying, crying
It's hard to understand
That the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before
But darling what can I do?
No you don't love me and I'll always be

Crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying,
Crying, crying, over you

so check it out--that's me with aaron aziz. woohoo! haha.
anyway. work has been really boring of late. it could be due to the absence of bun. haha. it could be cause i've been so sleepy all the time, which is in turn because i can't seem to fall asleep at night. and it could be the lack of outstanding CCDs. haha. okay i make it sound like some important academic thingy. but whatever, so cute guys reading this, do swing by whenever.
hm.. kamie, baba and i, along with the current rgs angklung girls, are performing in this concert thingy [romanza, which is, as it sounds, a concert of romantic songs] on 28 may [next sat] at 745pm, rgs hall. it's $7.50, i think, so any takers? just give me a holla. [haha okay everyone hates me now.]

there's this stall at tampines that sells both bikinis and those long-sleeved tops. so i was commenting how weird that was, and baba said, "yeah, it's like selling korma and babi together.." haha.
yest we were at century square, and we walked past these 2 lumpurs. and one of them started singing, "baaaaaju merahhhh.." [i was wearing pink.] and when i managed to compose myself enough to turn around about a minute later, i saw that 2 girls had suddenly appeared and were attaching themselves to each of the lumpurs! so rupernyer they had girlfriends who were barely metres away, all along! and i was telling baba, if i were one of the girlfriends, and i'd witnessed that little karaoke session, i would've gone crazy nuts man! and i'd make him apologise to me like a billion times!
i love the boss soul advertisement. the guy is so incredibly hot--the white shirt, the eyes.. haha and his take-charge-ness just makes him even hotter! loves it!
i just watched the hot chick for like the billionth time and anna faris is SO cute! her eyes are heeeuuuge, and well she just looks so adorable. oh to be adorable and non-ugly.

on the train home yest, this really familiar-and-nerdy-looking guy boarded the homebound [i.e. pasir ris] train from bedok. he was wearing the full BK uniform, including his cap and nametag, which read "Muhai-[something-or-other]". he sat down, one empty seat away from me. and i just couldn't shake off the feeling that i knew him from somewhere. finally we reached home [i.e. pasir ris]. he got up and started walking out. and watching him walk, i realised that he was... [wait for it...] Cute Stripes! i couldn't believe it. but it WAS him! omg how cool! sesiaper, please volunteer to go to bedok BK to look for him whenever.. i mean, he was my customer before, so it's only right that i receive service from him in turn right?
haha aku giler. hey wasn't last night's thunderstorm like, freakily cool? i was trying to sleep [therefore: eyes closed] and still i could see the flashes of lightning. and the low rumbles of thunder.. wow.
i finally watched school of rock tadi, and it, well, rocks. haha. love it! love kevin clark too, of course. and i like all their songs. so cute.
hannan called me at like 9 a.m. tadi. i was like, wth? and trying to reject the call but i ended up answering it, but it was all good in the end cos he was calling to ask me to replace him. and i readily accepted, knowing that bun was supposed to work too. haha. ahhh bun is so adorable, but i already said that right? but today he actually crushed my hopes when he said the girl at table 23 was pretty. and she wasn't even pretty! i swear! i've seen prettier girls, e.g. the cool flight attendant. and he also took off without waiting for me and diana. sigh. but u know, overall, i still had a great time, cos he's so cute and funny and all.

well. work tonight was, for the first time, exactly that! but. bun was working, wasn't he, so it wasn't all bad. in fact, i go so far as to call it great!!!
hm. horrible interview i shall not bother to document here. haha. i have major blisters to show for it, btw. haha. sakit gilerrrr! but i met maly and shaheda, and missed meeting amy who turned out to be a couple of floors up all the while. but anyway, baba came by around noonish, and we had a great time making fun of people on AM, d/ling songs, reading blogs, and eating pre-made waffles with premium swensen's ice-cream. haha. after that we had lunch at magic wok, and then i spent the last of the money i had today at WS. merepek sey. but anyway, baba's visit wasn't a total loss--she finally got to see bun. and she says "yeah he looks baik. gd for u haha." argh he's unbelievably adorable, takleh angkat!
what else. ohyeah there was this 3-member family at table 23. i could have sworn they were chinese, until the son spoke. but i suppose they say the same thing about my dad and my brother, yes? anyway the boy reminded me of righthandside, haha, so it was really great serving him.
CCD was this NS guy, part of a party of 15+++. manjen, but with the most exotic-looking eyes i've ever seen! he also seemed to be the leader of the group, asking for the bill, and using his MC to settle the bill and all.
there was also a certain anfield22 who was being all aloof as usual. whatever lah eh..
omg there was this guy who was the spitting image of john eber [EB05] who walked past! kak nores was swooning, while i was gaping. haha. giler sak.
okay back to bun. thankfully i was doing service today, with him, so it was lotsa fun getting to spend all waking moments at work with him. haha. and we shared all the drinks that joseph made for us. joseph likes me cos i'm nice; and he likes bun cos, well, cos he's gay, of course. there were 2 ice-cream-blendeds, a strawberry milkshake, a vanilla milkshake AND an SFM. bes. [i'm gonna miss joseph when he's gone. and no, not just cos of the free drinks, but just cos he's nice to have a chat with..] sigh and now i have to wait an entire WEEK before i get to work with bun again! this is pure injustice.
there were LOADS of NS guys today, weirdly. as compared to other fridays. and as compared to other fridays, we actually WEREN'T running a full house. i mean, it looked full, cos of that party of 15, but the alfresco area was completely empty. that is, until a party of 8 showed up. oh God. i really love my job! haha.
okay nights. and i just know that ex-con will show up tmr, on my day off. again. well. it's not meant to be, yeah?

hm. it's been kinda long--at least for me--so i don't know where to start.
okay, on tuesday i caught kingdom of heaven with baba, at TM. to be honest, i was falling asleep. haha. not entirely the movie's fault, of course. i was just feeling lethargic that day. actually, this whole WEEK i've been feeling lethargic. it's been really hard to wake up even after 12 hours of sleep. crazy or what? anyway it was actually a great movie, the princess is so exotically pretty! and wow the war violence is seriously violent. haha.
oh for the past two nights, this really pretty lady has been coming for supper with a girl friend. last night was actually the third time i served her. and wow she's so incredibly nice to look at! she's all fair and flawless-complexioned, with perfectly manicured nails, and a cute short bob. i'm thinking she's a flight attendant or something, i mean, you can practically tell from her nails! anyway, she's prolly also malay or smthg, cos she speaks fluent malay to one of her friends. and wow she's just so cute and pretty, i love her so much, and i can't wait for her next visit! haha. i'm going to make her my regular customer! ..assuming she WANTS to be a regular customer, of course.

out of pure, unadulterated boredom, i created this quiz, aptly titled "How bored are you?" so make my day, and take it now!

everyone at work LOVES bun. kak nores wants an older version of him. joseph flirts shamelessly with him, and the rest of us use honeyed tones when we talk to him. i don't know what it is exactly about him. but i know that when he smiles i just smile widely back without thinking; and when he talks, i listen cos it just sounds so nice.. haha. giler. i shall stop now.
i have to say that i had a great day at work today. firstly, it wasn't busy. and secondly, he was working. haha. and i even shirked my cashier duties so that i cld show him how to do alfresco closing. and i got to walk to the int with him, just like i once did with ex-con, what seems like millions of years ago.
[but when i got to work, i was feeling majorly depressed about nothing in particular. i just sat there quietly, listening to my mp3s with my eyes closed. and kak nores didn't believe me when i insisted i HADN'T been crying, and i WASN'T gonna cry, and NO ONE broke my heart. sigh. and wan ing claimed i wasn't wearing make-up, when i'd already applied coats and coats of mascara which made me look like i had false lashes on. well. whatever. my mood improved, didn't it?]
hm. i saw setan at the lobby area. but that's about the only interesting person today.

Berlalulah masa tak sanggup ku menanti
Gelora di jiwa tak siapa mengerti
Siksanya menanggung rindu
Sukarnya memendam rasa... kekasih

i'm in a really bad AND jiwang mood. like, seriously. but i'm trying not to bore the people chatting to me right now with the mundane details, so i'm going to do the same here.
had a mother's day brunch, if you will, at sakura [eastpoint]. there were LOADS of cute waiters, presumably from an ITE, doing their job attachments. there was this cute guy with an especially festive name: 'ami'. haha. anyway he's really cute, with like, eyeliner and everything. hehe.
then i went to get my hair cut by peter at storm hair. i think it's been practically 2 years since i last saw him. he totally shot down my request for cute bangs, saying my forehead is too narrow. but he still had to salvage the bangs tt i butchered myself last year. haha. anyway, loving it--he didn't take off too much, just thinned it drastically. takes a bit of getting used to. haha.
so. i got to work. it was all good. the penat factor was raised to a power of ten. CCD was this malay guy at table 43, eating dinner with a female form i assumed to be his mother. tall, dark, and chiselled-handsome. haha. and the permanent feel-good factor was, of course, bun. haha. yes i've decided to use baba's suggestion after all, but i tweaked it from "ban" to "bun", so it could be short for "honeybun"! when i told this to baba she said, "ur crazily insane n utterly disgusting. honeybun kau.. i thot u didn even lk him. giler nyer pompuan. haha. dahlah aku nk tido. slmt bermimpi roti madu kau." haha.
argh i have like a billion papercuts from my frantic folding of cake boxes at 4pm just now! anyway. speaking of colleagues whom i like, i got an sms from an unknown number today saying tt it was ex-con and that was his new number. oh God. does that explain why he never responded to my sms on monday? i'm SO confused, and i have no idea if i should bother to msg him again. buat sakit hati je.
well something to look forward to tmr: bun's working! my fourth day in a row with him!

it was another tiring yet fun day at work today. it was practically all malays except for eric and crystal. and it was just loads of fun, even though it was like beribu orangs, and there just had to be that one odd family eating till like 11. haha.
when i got to work, liyana informed me that ex-con came by earlier. and i was practically screaming at her to spare me the details. cos i just can't bear to hear stuff about him, tt i missed. you know what i mean? and later kak nores was telling me some shit about how cute his friends were and whatever, and i said, "why am i never around when he comes? it's a sign!" and she was like, "a sign of what? that you're not meant to be together?" and i exclaimed, "yah!" it's just really sad, and if it's really true that i don't have a chance in heaven or hell with him, then i don't want to hear about it cos it really gets me down for some reason.
i wasn't supposed to work today, actually. but yest night jess asked me to replace her. and after consulting with shafa, i said okay. you know why? cos cute new guy was supposed to work. hehe. [notice i'm still saying "cute new guy". if not for baba's second comment, i would have accepted "ban", actually. haha.] anyway yes he worked, and so it was loads of fun. i even got to like, feed him a piece of chicky chick. haha.
today i played my tangkap nangis CD after the last family left. it was pretty well-received, especially by abg rahim. haha. i lurve jiwang songs man. bring it on!
and besok i'm working 3-11. my timecard is going to look really impressive this month, i think. all this overtime and shit. this week i'm actually working 6 days in a row siak. cool eh?
well. looking forward to another tiring day tmr with cute new guy. hehe. ohyes. happy mothers' day.

oh it was one of the most tiring days at work today. i think we made quite a lot, even for a friday. i mean, total cash was like 2000+ bucks, Visa/MC total was over a thousand bucks, and there was still NETS and Diners. so, tak sia-sia aku mampos during work tadie. haha. seriously! it wasn't just the crowd and stuff, it was also the fact tt we're running a promotional menu these three days. so i had to run around serving not just ice water, but soup and flavoured tea, AND the mother's day gift packs. it was totally crazy. and we kept running out of teaspoons, cos you need like two teaspoons per person.
but ANYWAY. i still had a lot of fun. cute new guy [okay he needs a name. suggestions?] was working, which was definitely one of the highlights. haha. his smile is SO cute! and i had a group of eight NS guys again, at the same alfresco table. haha. not the same guys, but equally nice, and with appetites twice as big. i swear. the last group spent $105 or so. THIS group spent $205!!! or course, that could be due to the fact that the promo menu has inflated prices. but STILL. they had like THREE orders of calamari rings, in addition to the main courses, and each guy had an average of two ice-cream orders. but it was all good. very very fun, and they were really patient with my confusion when i was taking orders.
takde CCD ah, i was waaay to busy to look out for one. oh but i actually screamed out loud at one point cos i thought i saw my favourite EB05 walk past. i SWEAR it was him. but then again, it was for only 4 seconds max, so i might have been wrong. oh and speaking of cute, an entire soccer team from MY alma mater [no, not RGS] came and ate ice-cream and fries. they were sooooooo adorable!!! i was just dying. all in their jerseys and tak sabar nak makan fries and stuff. very very cute.
i exercised some influence today to get a cooler playlist in the outlet. mariah carey, 50 cent, destiny's child.. haha.. it was so cool. too bad i was doing alfresco, i didn't get to fully appreciate my hard work. and too bad kak nores wasn't around, or we could've danced together. i mean, if i was the only one dancing i'd just look stupid. haha.
oh this group of 5 malay girlfriends had ice-cream, and one of them was SO nice! firstly, she settled the bill secretly with me. about an hour later, she called me out and her friends asked for the bill. and she was just grinning like crazy. while i practically laughed out loud as i told them, "dah bayar dah!" and secondly, she actually tipped me personally! like 4 bucks! i was SOOOOO wowed! at first she just asked me what happens to the tips, then when i told her, she gave me the money and told me to keep it, and not put it in the box. wow.
abg rahim gave us [me, azhar, farhan] a lift home just now. first, though, i had to wait around while abg rahim had a smoke. so i sat in the car, enjoying the aircon. then farhan joined me. and then the smoke started wafting in, so i told him to close the door, and he was like, "tanak ah, nanti lain macam je.." haha. giler. and he ter-saw the screensaver of me and baba, and he practically grabbed my phone as he tried to determine why baba looks familiar to him. haha. after that, he ter-saw the wallpaper of the "my boo" screenshot, and was like, "Astaghfirullah! gambar cium-cium pulak!" funn-ay.
went to watch house of wax with baba today. it's one of those typical slasher flicks where the main characters are all stupid--that's why they get pursued by murdering psychos in the first place. and then the stupidest character survives. you know the type, right? so. yeah. but paris looks hot in this movie, as she always does, i suppose. love her! [yes, i know. kill me now for saying that.] and i love her boyfriend in the movie. he's the guy from cousin skeeter, with the incredible eyes. i love him. he looks REALLY good. hm and i got my dose of ITE mats, but not nearly enough. haha. there was this group that offered us ice-cream: "nak sikit?" and there were loads of viks too. besnye. like i said to baba, i wanna move to yishun. haha. anyway, can't wait to do that again. the movie thing, i mean. ohyah i finally got my interview shoes. haha. according to shafa, they're risky but what the heck. i actually like them, despite my aversion to anything that isn't open-toed, but these are just aDORable! yes. i personally love them, and they're not even very high, so an extra plus point for that. maybe i'll even wear them out sometime. see, that's how much i love them.

i had this dream last night about ex-con. it was practically a nightmare. basically, he was like, "eh, asal kau bilang aku kau kerje tuesday? aku pergi, kau tak kerje pun!" and proceeded to really really scold me. and i was on the verge of tears, and i was trying to explain myself [i had a really good explanation actually], but i gave up halfway and apologised instead. me and my stupid dreams.
during briefing just now, diana let the cat out of the bag. [ugh what a gross cliche to use! sorry..] mr rahim was talking about how the new guy doesn't serve the drinks properly, and therefore we, the CSRs, should teach him the right way. and then diana opens her mouth and says, "yah, norain can teach him.." and they ALL turned to look at me. and kak nores exclaims, "wah, second target already ah?" oh God. how mortifying. the only good thing was that azhar wasn't there. i think i'd have died of complete and utter embarrassment. i never actually TOLD anyone i like him, you know. i think i'm just unlucky. i attract suaning. if that's not enough, i attract BASELESS suaning. argh.

what did i do today? let's see. ohyes i went to wild wild wet with kak nores, jeslyn, jessica, and ah-yi [or however you spell it]. haha. it was loads of fun, actually. we went on the ular-lah ride thrice, i think. hehe.
yes. then i had work.

i went out with shafa yest to look for interview shoes [mine] and interview shirt [hers]. well, she got her shirt but we hit the usual snag of the absence of my shoe size. it's really unfair, having size 9 feet in Singapore. i don't blame my feet in the slightest, i blame the shoe retailers. for example, everbest doesn't even have a single size 9 at all! they only go up to 8, which is quite dumb, really, considering bata even has size 10. anyway. i guess i'll have to try again another day.
since i was so disappointed and pissed at not having gotten my shoes, i bought a pair of sunglasses from topshop. loving them! haha. i actually tore off the price tag and wore them while walking to the taxi stand. ape je. haha.
yest was, as i told shafa, my favourite tv night. friends, charmed, CSIs NY and Las Vegas, topped off by friends again. but i kept nodding off at CSI:NY!!! so i gave up at 935, and went to sleep. haha.

went to KKH to visit cik jun and her new baby. it's a really adorable boy. [okay, honestly speaking, i can't tell if he's adorable, cos he's only a day old, and it's the stage where he's still red-faced and with permanently-shut eyes and stuff, but if he's anything like ellna, he'll be adorable.] his name is Ari Johan. nice name, tapi takleh kalah Rahul Ishmael. hahaha. anyway i was hoping to see cute male nurses or smthg, but i realised it's KKH, and therefore there wouldn't be much call for male nurses? well at any rate i saw none. but i enjoyed the fully air-conditioned foodcourt, and the whole retail mall, actually. AND cik jun's private room. it's like a hotel, almost. an uncarpeted hotel. and there's none of that hospital smell. you know, the kind that just spells out S-I-C-K.
work was great. tiring but great. josh walked past, and i practically ran out to greet him, and started punching him excitedly. ape je. ape je me, of course. haha. turns out he's the only 3D left in tekong, which is really sad cos it means tt i won't be seeing any of the other class guys around then.
my most fun customers today was this group of about 8 NS guys. mostly manjens, one malay, and one serani, who reminds me of someone i know, or maybe i've actually seen him before. anyway they were sitting alfresco, which was my station.. so yeah i had to serve them.. and farhan was so kesian, he accidentally spilled water on the malay guy. i was dying of mortification on his behalf. haha. but they were quite nice about it. anyway they ate like over a hundred bucks worth, as usual, and i had to wait there for like 10 minutes while they attempted to calculate their individual shares. haha. and they were making jokes about how they were really bad at maths or smthg, and then one guy said to me, "by the way, we're from mohawk company.." and i just laughed and said okay. but why did he tell me that, anyway? tak faham. and he kept repeating it. ??? but anyway they waited patiently while i counted the money, and then the same guy said, "have a good weekend," paused and looked at his watch, "i mean, have a good week.." and later he asked me if he could buy an ashtray from us. isn't that weird? who would think that a restaurant sells their ashtrays to customers? but anyway, i loved that they were very friendly and nice and stuff. i just love talking to customers, and they were the most friendly bunch of NS guys i've had so far.
after work i changed my tshirt and shoes, just cos i felt sweaty and rimas. and azhar was like, "eh kau nak gi dating ke?" to which i refused to respond since it was SUCH an inane comment. but later he asked me again, "kau nak gi dating eh? gi dating ngan helmi kan?" aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh!!! he keeps suaning me abt ex-con! how. annoying. and if that's not enough, diana is now suaning me about the new guy. i don't know how she could even tell that i liked him, from the limited time we spend talking in the bus. and she was encouraging me to go after him and everything--saying he's single, and telling me to get his number, all that shit. no thank you. i'm not gonna set myself up to be embarrassed again.

yes yes i know it's like, four in the morning. all i wanted to do when i turned on the laptop was blog about what happened today. but suddenly lots of things started happening and before i knew it, half of "what happened today" turned out to be stuffs that happened after i got home.
went for the orang kahwin downstairs. wow. it was so so grand! but my secret hope of seeing cute mats went unfulfilled. i did get a cool photo of the platform for the mempelai though. and there was like, a 5-tier wedding cake. and a chandelier-looking thing, made of flowers, over the archway. and the food was served to the tables, which were in clusters of eight [seats]. they even pour and refill the air. great and attentive service all the way.. and the food was great--dishes of the daging thingy tt goes with nasi briyani, ayam masak merah, some curry thing i didn't touch [i like my rice dry], some sayur thing i didn't even bother to glance at, and [my personal favourite] these really cool black pepper udangs. omg. i must have had at least five. i even had to take one from the people next to us. hm then we went to the block opposite, where they had a contrasting simple affair, with like two long tables, a table of food set buffet-style, and a really simple pelamin. but they were all nice and friendly, and the best part was the eye-candy. haha. there was a group of mat dishwashers. and some of the guests/relatives were really handsome. haha. yup. two completely different weddings, but i enjoyed both.
okay, i got to work at like 135. haha. so i sat around outside till 2, then i went in and got the glitter glue for the hand-painting thingy. then, since i didn't have the guts to go around offering my services [haha tt sounds bad!], i did service for about 15 minutes. then i did my first kid [yes tt sounds bad too], and her two brothers. but there weren't THAT many kids to ask, and besides, they were all eating so i couldn't just sebok2 rite? haha. but i did a few more kids after that.. and i even did some after the 2-4 window.. it was pretty fun, except they kept asking for the hardest designs! heLLO, do i LOOK like an expert to you? okay but generally, that part of my job was fun.
i had my break at 4, with kak nores and rafidah.. and although i was still kinda full from the orang kahwin food, i decided to buy smthg anyway. so i got the omelette. it was reaaaalllly filling! haha. but they were all like, "you buy omelette waste money lah.." but i don't care, cos i've always wanted to try it, and it only cost about four bucks anyway. wow i like having breaks. it's fun. haha. okay, i guess it's only fun if you have breaks with your friends. anyway, thanks to the hand-painting thing, i got to enjoy a full 45-minute break instead of the half-an-hour one i'm supposed to have. haha.
CCD was zulkarnaen zainal, whom i did NOT recognise, not being a follower of Singapore football. but i liked him anyway. he's all tall and vik-looking and he's just very very cool. he stayed for so long we had to halau him away to mcdonald's.
anyway yes i got home, and i started telling nadia how sad i was about the whole ex-con thing. then this stupid thing hung, so i had to restart it like three times. by that time, she was gone, so no more listening ear. haha. then i logged onto AM cos i was just bored. and guess who msged me? the pizza guy! the one who's been talking to me for the past few days! i couldn't believe it! and in the middle of waiting for his SN, ex-con came online. but because he'd changed his nick, and i didn't know it was him, i didn't chat to him. [i would have. really.] and he actually said hi to me first. and when i realised it was him i almost screamed and died. but i replied in a calm and relaxed manner ["hey you"]. and we chatted for a few minutes. and for every letter i typed, i had to restrain myself from typing "i miss you". for example, he said "dah lama tak nampak awk", which i believed merited an "i miss you" from me, but i stopped myself. but guess what. he actually said it himself. he said, and i quote, "rindu awk adela.." help!!! why does he do this to me? i mean, he knows i like him, it's just unfair for him to use that to torture me! and i was dying to reply, "i miss you too.." but i stuck with the safer, and more cowardly, "ye ke?" i am SUCH a wuss. well then i was steeling myself to tell him i miss him, and to come by tmr before he books in, but then he said he'd brb, but here i am, 1.5 hrs later, and he's still not back. but it doesn't end here. i'll msg him tmr. tmr as in, before i go to work. promise!
