I watched this movie just now. It's such a lovely movie. And Jennifer Lopez never looked as hot as she does, here in this movie. Her dance outfits are amazing, especially the fur coat and the dress in the Santa Maria scene. Plus, I always end up crying at the last part of the movie, about two minutes before this escalator scene.
Here's to more peaceful off days, filled with nothing but pretty clothes, gorgeous skies and endless books.
I do realise it's been quite a while since I blogged here. The lure of LJ is too strong for me. However, I will summarise my life for the past couple of weeks, in a collection of photos. If it helps.
My three favourite chubby dodos from work. Rose5, Fazzy-Wazzy and Wanieeeee!
The ever-adorable Rail, Xtina's boyfriend. Don't go to NS, I'll miss you too!
With Sham at Marina Barrage rooftop. OMG the chilling breeze. And the wide expanse of grass. Fantastico.
Because the setting was just too perfect. I took off my Emilys and waded in.
Had a gorgeous 22nd thanks in large part to these dodos above. Much love!
Two years of Christmas Open Houses and I've always been ringing up the transactions. Today I was expediting the queue instead, with Evonne. It definitely requires a different skill set from my previous position. Haha.
But it was fun! I love all the disorder and chaos that goes on during Open House. Nothing can quite match up to it. It's almost like one of those performances I used to participate in--angklung, tarian, and the like. The downside is, just like the performances of my yesteryear, there's the post-performance depression to sink into. I hate that. Like, the calm after the storm. Hate it!
I'm glad I was paired with Evonne, because instead of asking for customers' names like I was supposed to, I just grabbed their receipts and scribbled down my first impression of them instead. For example, Evonne was screaming, "Singapore t-shirt! Singapore t-shirt!" because that was exactly what I wrote on the receipt. Or I would write, "Semi-cute guy" or "3/4 cute guys", but there was never any fully-cute guy. Then there was one time I scrawled, "Gay" but thankfully she misread it as "Guy".
Funfunfun.
Sorry I couldn't pick up the pieces so well. You can't really expect a freshly-certified shift manager to be able to just vroom around and put everything back in order, right?
In other news, I just came back from a run, which was terrific as usual. I realise I haven't been running the full 2.4, but I'm just gonna take it slow [ like I'm doing with a certain someone], and hopefully by this time next year I'll be doing 3k at one time.
Seven days closing straight! It's time for a break, but I won't be getting one yet, because tomorrow I need to get some things done to Baby. Sigh. Well, I'll try and sleep in anyways.
I'm a certified now! No more babysitters, I'll be going solo all the way! Excitingggg. Unfortch, my first solo shift will be TOMORROW, which is D-Day. I'll have to clean up the mess caused by 294827593 transactions! And deal with the Thursday crowd, to boot!
Tiredtiredtired. This would be my sixth closing in a row. With one more coming up tomorrow. Can you believe it? Plus, I'm getting old. I'm not even enjoying the last precious days of my 21-dom. And the crowd now comes in at ten instead of nine, and they don't wanna leave, even at midnight! Still. Trickling. In! I had to extend operating hours today because the higher-ups said so, but at least I came pretty close to the target. I'm talking like a manager now! So annoying!
Starving. Since I became a manager I've hardly had time to eat. Which can only be a good thing, I suppose, considering my size, but I really love and miss eating!
I put up the Christmas tree just now, because if I don't do it, no one else will. It was less complicated than I expected it to be, thankfully. And it looks pretty good for my first attempt, I daresay. The final, rewarding touch, was of course putting up the lights and turning them on! Sedih though, they're not multicoloured. But it still looks festive!
I love it.
Jessie says I remind her of Mima sometimes. Haha! I wouldn't argue with that, I think that like her, I do like to buang muka when I'm angry.
And Tiger messaged me just now, first! Yey!
In 2018, I was heading to Zumba class when I saw "The Brass Barre" printed on the directory of the same building. Immediately in...
