i've been having a spate of odd dreams. there was this one a few days back featuring ex-con at a barbecue wearing his usher getup and cheeky smile. and last night's dream had guy-who-bumps-into-railings writing me a love letter, and then morphing into sluardalam [the guy, not the object] when i went to meet him. !!!
work was nice today. takde members ah, but at least ah hao was around. he's funny. and after work i started talking to a couple of girls, one of whom works at T2 swensen's.. finally i joined them at their table and we just sat there talking till like 7ish. so cool. i love making new friends. and they know a couple of the pizza guys--the cute chubby one who's apparently called khairul, and the cute jongang one. something about a friend's ex, or an ex's friend. haha. hmph. unfair. the only guys i know are stupid face, and the singing guy, and nan, whom everyone knows. see i don't even know most of their names. oh haha and there was this girl wearing a denim miniskirt riding pillion, and we were watching her and laughing, waiting to see her melorot on the bike, but her boyfriend was going quite slow. haha. anyway the 2 girls i was talking to look painfully familiar, but i just can't figure out where i know them from! well.. it'll come to me eventually, i hope. and now i can go to T2 swensen's, and i'll know someone there. coolness.
tmr's the big night. can't wait!

ohh i am tired.
worked the 12-5 today. it was ok, CCD was this MJ guy in j1, who had a topless 5. he's like a vik/mim, i can't figure out which. i did trash detail with liyana, who loves doing it even though she doesn't have to. after work jessica came with me for the free ZA makeover tt jeslyn got but didn't want. anyway. it was quite cool, except the base she used was like 72957394 times lighter than my actual skin tone. i love the way she opened up my eyes though, and used blue mascara on the tips of my lashes.
took 359 home, and guess who was on the bus as well? the malay family from yest. u know, the one that made me wish for a handsome husband and cute baby too. it was quite cool. i KNEW they looked familiar. they even got off at the same stop as me.
was super late in meeting shafa. I used to be the early one! what has happened to me? we watched in good company, where i realised tt topher grace can't really break out of his eric role. but i think he came close in win a date. ahhh.. yes, how well i remember tt movie. anyway, thanks to shafa's philantrophy, i got miami glow at tangs afterwards. woohoo! i am the proud owner of a bottle of miami glow! i can't believe it. i can't wait to use it. either wed night, or thurs night, whichever comes first. woohoo! woohoo! woohoo! we had supper at delifrance. the mat working there is cute, with cute big hair. haha. and he was singing along to the songs. ahh a work-soulmate.
decided to drop by swensen's since i was just in time for closing. and i was greeted by a feast of spicy potato, fries, curry and rice, garlic pita, and semi-melted gold rush. aper lagie.. kebas ah! haha. even though i was full from delifrance, i mean, good food shouldn't go to waste.. actually i wanted to hang with liyana, but umar menyebok, so i decided to just talk to her another day. haha.

hi. i'm still full. from dinner. guess where i had dinner? crown prince swensen's. giler sak aku. i had sirloin steak, WD, black pepper sauce. and i finished my brother's fries cos it just irritates me when people don't finish their food. and i had a raspberry ice-cream blended. and i had a gold rush. i know, i know. i'm crazy. i just couldn't help it! i mean, for once, i wasn't paying!
anyway. work was okay, started off really boring actually. but there was this family that made me say to liyana and kak nores, "i wish i was married to a handsome husband like that with a cute baby like that.." the baby is really cute! this like, 2-year-old boy or smthg.. and he has really unique-looking eyes.. and he's SO cute, his dad was like carrying him, and he [the baby] was looking at me, so u know what i did? i ducked behind his dad's back, and popped back out, and he totally burst out laughing! but i was so embarrassed cos like, i was using his DAD as a prop! so i walked away ah. but the baby kept looking at me so this time i ducked behind eric and popped back out. he loved it. [the baby, not eric.] ah it was so cool. and the baby's dad is today's CCD. he's tall and fair and malay and has a cool goatee. and he reminds me of force vomit's bassist. heh.
what else happened during work? ohyes kak nores and liyana were making fun of ex-con. i dunno, liyana was saying smthg about, "dia gi sembahyang jumaat agaknye.." and i was like, "yarrite. i don't think he prays at all! i don't think he's even touched a sejadah before!" and liyana added, "i don't think he even kenal ape tu sejadah.." and she proceeded to imitate him, "sejadah tu ape ah?" like, with the expression and intonation down pat. and kak nores joined in, "asal ah aku kena kenal ape tu sejadah?" oh God. it was SO crazy. and mean! and funny, i have to admit.
my sister picked us up at like 645 and we had dinner like i said above. cute botak vik sup/manager was at our station, and he's really nice, and he spoke malay to us. cool. anyway we took so long eating dinner that by the time we were done, 75% of the shops were closed. but we managed to buy tshirts in this cool tshirt shop catering to my brother's tastes [although they have this admittedly cute range of spongebob tshirts] and i got sandals at anna nucci, and a tube top in one of those teeny shops at far east. then we went to wisma and i dragged them into forever 21, where i got 2 long-sleeved tops. haha. by the time i was done it was too late to visit topman/topshop, so, sorry to my brother. haha.
finally we went home. but it wasn't even 11! argh! we picked up zaki, my sister's colleague.. he's the guy i thought was her cute roommate. well, he IS cute, but ISN'T her roommate. haha. but seriously. he's cute. and he asked me to go clubbing with him. let's hope it wasn't an ajak� ayam.

hey. had a GREAT day! although it started shittily by my waking up exactly 2 minutes AFTER i was due at pasir ris mrt to meet shafa. i dunno what's with me and waking up late these days.
anyway.
went swimming at downtown east with shafa. it was fun as usual. and kak nores, liyana and jess came abit later. i'm so glad i went early with shafa cos they stayed for like an hour je! haha. oh yes and i wore a bikini, i felt like i was violating some general beautification rule or smthg. haha. but it was quite liberating, and at least my stomach is less pale now. haha.
went to eat at magic wok. poor shafa didn't have an easy time of it, but my dish was really quite nice. i liked it. and i was almost fainting with the deliciousness of the two-dollar lime juice. money well-spent, i say.
then we went for the EB preview. we were like half-an-hour late or so. and it wasn't till it was almost over tt we realised we missed our respective favourites [keith and nathaniel. guess who's whose favourite!]. but anyway. it was cool, cos there was like a fashion parade of 12 of the EBs at the end, and keith and the cute malay guy, fazril, came out at the same time! i was just dying there. and yes i did try to take photos but most of the time i just screwed it up. so i got one jauh one of brendan. and u know what, they actually had to walk past us! i was THIS close to them! yet i fumbled the photo-taking. sheesh. i wanted to kick myself. finally, when it was over and we got our EB finals invites, we made our way to the direction of forum, and met karl ho at the crown prince traffic light. shafa was kind enough to ask him to take a photo with me, and now i have a photo with an EB! he's really nice, and so cool..
after traipsing all over far east, we finally settled at scotts coffee bean, where cute ex-WS coffee bean guy wasn't working, but a cute vik, reminiscent of marie, was. we got the red plushies in the corner, and we just stoned there for like 2 hours, alternately obsessing over Sad, nat, ex-con, thinking about what to wear this thursday, and going over plans for my club. haha. tt was fun.
then we went to the esplanade to catch force vomit in action. they're quite cool ah. hehe. tt's all i can say here. but i had fun!

i went to work early just so i cld watch ex-con work for a couple of minutes. but it was not to be, cos he didn't come for work. sheesh.
but i had fun anyway. multiple CCDs!!!
1. this cute malay boy [i think around 15] with cool hair and a cool tshirt. i couldn't decide at first whether he was cute. but after taking their orders [he had fish and chips, and WHAT is it with malay families and lamb chop/steak?], i decided he was cute cos he was wearing celak! and his stare is really penetrating. oh but when he stood up he was actually shorter than me, which is quite short. still. he'll grow, i'm sure.
2. Cute Stripes!!! remember him? he's from the post dated 3 Feb.. and he was wearing the same shirt, which was why i recognised him from the moment i spotted him in the queue. he was like 5 parties behind in the queue, but when i saw tt green-and-white striped shirt, my mind went *boing* and i hissed to no one in particular, "omg it's him!" kak nores told me he's been coming in for a long time.. and he used to be a punk nerd. a SINGLE punk nerd, who liked one of the ex-full-timers. wow. anyway he's still cute, still giving off tt aifi vibe, and still very nice. i served their ice water--menyebok really, cos i wasn't even doing alfresco--and he said "terima kasih" which i felt compelled to respond to with a "sama2". haha. i also sebok2ed delivered their food.. haha.. but other than tt, i left him alone, and this time he didn't come in for extra stuffs. darn.
3. this tall, dark and sharp-featured vik who had ice-cream with his parents. his hair is really cool. it has 2 detailed shaved lines at the side. niceee.. but actually he's not tt cute ah, he just has style. haha.
the other singing guy was working today. he's so cute. haha. too bad i wasn't working outside. and the cute melayu-looking pizza guy was working too. but i didn't get to see much of him ah. darn. on the days the cute guys are working, i just HAVE to be working inside. sheesh. well anyway kak nores says his name is fahmi. so tt's one less nickname to be confused with. haha.
coffee bean manager came back again. heh. and i think cute adam sandler has quit, but he was hanging ard white sands with his similarly-cute friends. bes..

i asked munz to check out ex-con's photos on friendster. and she sent me a really impassioned message.
help!
oh mannnn

he is so poser!!! :)

but i like the 6 pack thing! :) hahah is it really his?

anyhow, ok lah he looks v jiffy. hmmmm but so POSER. cannot tahan!

pls drop him k

either tt or you GET him!

nothing in btwn sister!

love
mun yuk
meaning that right now, i'm "in btwn". haha. well there's no way i can "GET" him. and for the time being, there's no way i can "drop him" either.
hm. okay shall make this quick. no CCD. ah hao was being really weird at one point. and i was complaining to wenxing abt this being ex-con's last week. but of cos i had to refer to ex-con as "abang" for simplicity's sake. haha. the cute singing pizza guy was working. and he was singing again.. this time he sang i'll be there. he's so cute! jongang teeth and all. haha. hope he's working again tmr. the OTHER singing pizza guy was working in the afternoon. he never seems to work nights. bo-ring. oh and hannan and i had chicken-and-fish baked rice after work. yum.

hm. work: typical. CCD: yet another father, one of those vik-mim types. but it was hannan today, and he's always alot of fun.
i think cute adam sandler pizza guy quit or smthg, i haven't seen him for a week.
went for coffee with munz and sya at tampines. it was fun. lots of stories and lots of mats and everything. we shd definitely do it again.

i had this scary dream about ex-con. as in, it wasn't a cerita hantu or anything.. it was just scary cos it confirmed a few things regarding him, that i don't really want to be true. anyway. whatever.
went swimming with liyana just now, and we got a shock when eric came and joined us! haha. there were also lots of mats in black at the bus stop. and they were all cute. whee! haha. anyway it was a great swimming/tanning session, i'm noticeably darker again. haha.
work was horrible though. in the hour or so tt i spent at home, i'd somehow begun to realise how much i'm gonna miss ex-con. so i went to work extra early. haha. but i didn't get to talk to him, actually. he left really quickly for some reason. so during the first 2 hours of work i was really grumpy and irritable. umar kept telling me to smile, but i just jelinged at him. i guess it just hit me today that i'm probably never gonna see ex-con again, after this week. and work is going to be such a drag without the promise of him around. i don't think smiling and being pleasant during work is going to be very easy starting sunday. and i almost started crying at one point. this is crazy. this is dumb. i hate this. i'm sure i'll get over it though. eventually. but the first few weeks are gonna be pretty rough. i mean, i was staring disbelievingly at next week's schedule, willing his name to appear. like, whatever man.
oh they were fumigating the place just now and the 2 guys doing the job are really funny! the younger one is even kinda cute. and the older one is REALLY crappy-funny. he was like, laughing in a setan-like way in the kitchen cos it was all dark and stuff. haha. tak betul. and they were quite friendly.. i love friendly people.. and i asked them to fumigate the alfresco area too. but of course i'm sure when they sed yes, that they were just kidding.
there's a cute new pizza guy. he's fair and tembam, and reminiscent of some manjen rugger ah. haha. but joseph totally spoiled things by telling nan tt i wanted his number [which i SO did not! i don't ask for guys' numbers! get lost!]. i didn't go outside for the next 15 minutes. kurang asam siak.
i talked to some customers today, 3 jc1s--a girl and two boys. they're quite nice.. and i kept plying them with water.. cos u know, they're students, limited finances and all, so i decided to make the 10% service charge well worth it. i love talking to customers, it's alot of fun.. and it's easier to talk to people when u're a CSR, as opposed to just a girl with a grumpy face. haha.
CCD was this vik with a cool sculpted goatee. his gf is really petite, even smaller than baba i think.. and she spoke malay to him so i assume he's indian-muslim. he totally reminded me of OM! [which explains why i gave him the coveted title of CCD..] seriously. he's a quarter-shade fairer than OM, but the eyes and the nose.. wow. yeah i'd say he looks like OM with abit of david [de cruz]. haha.

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, madame with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're lovely
You know what, you're so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me

I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For Heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos

And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup

I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
mm i love jazz.

before i launch into more nonsense about ex-con, let's get the necessaries out of the way.
dropped by wisma mendaki today to get the forms. or rather, went out of my way to go to wisma mendaki today to get the stupid forms which turned out to be the same as the one online. was completely surrounded by vs boys as i waited to take 31 to tampines int. changed my mind when the 31, after 1048693 freaking years, arrived, and completely bypassed the bus stop cos it was full. trekked in the other direction, to the 12 bus stop, only to just miss my bus. what a horrible afternoon.
CCD was this guy at table 43 who was with his gf. he's all tall and nice to look at and just very manly.. haha..
there were quite alot of pizza guys on duty just now, considering it was monday night. but the cute singing guy was working so i have no complaints. he's really cute. and i'm pretty sure he's fairly young. haha. like, nan's age at most. [nan's 22.] oh nan was being really setan just now. i blew out one tealight, and he was like, "alah aku baru nak tiup.." so i said to him, "ah, gi tiuplah.." and he was like, "takpelah.. have fun blowing.." he added with relish. but anyway i'm starting to see why kak nores likes him. haha.
wenxing caught me out today. i was in the kitchen [drinking the ice-cream blended kindly made by ex-con] and he asked me, "how old are u? 18 ah?" and i was like, "yah 18.. this year 19.." and then he asked, "abang how old?" and i stupidly replied, "abang same as me.. but turned 19 already.." then the gravity of what i just said hit me and i gave a strangled yelp and ran out of the kitchen all red in the face. oh God.
anyway i was in one of my giggly good moods today, thanks to ex-con. he was in a good mood too, like breaking out into song every other minute or so. it was quite cute. and when i caught him singing, he'd give tt sheepish smile and i'd just melt inside. haha.. oh God i am so gonna miss him when he goes to NS. i don't think i can take it!!!!!!!

i'm not in the best of moods. and i know exactly why.
but anyway. work was okay. no CCD, but in their place were these 2 cute little malay boys with spiky hair. really adorable. they're brothers, around 6-9 years old ah..
ex-con was working the 12-5, and when i came in he was like, "ain, boleh mintak satu favour tak?" like i said before, i can't say no to him. but i CAN prevent myself from saying yes. haha. i just stand there and stare at him. it's the best i can do. anyway he wanted me to switch with him for sunday afternoon. i didn't really mind, but i said, "oklah!" really harshly, so he was like, "alah takpelah, kalau kau marah tak payahlah.." and he looked so adorable i insisted on switching with him, albeit in that same harsh tone. haha. and his cute cheeky smile when i sed okay was just so yargh!!! i'm sorry, okay? i know he takes advantage of the fact tt i like him, 24/7, but i just can't help it. even liyana was telling me in the bus home, that she thinks i deserve someone better, and that he's the kind of guy who doesn't treat girls well, and that he's never really appreciated anything i've done for him [the zippo, getting off the cab home first, ALL the chores i've done in his place, etc].. but i'm just dumb larh. liking him despite all his shittiness--this isn't what they call "unconditional love", it's unconditional stupidity.

i had another of those freaky dreams i'm known for getting. THIS one had me in a train [MRT, of course] with fana, going to some dance class for the first time. sitting opposite us were 2 really pretty aimees. so we were just looking at them and agreeing how pretty they were and stuff.. and at the next stop, these 2 viks get on, and the 2 girls immediately pretend to be asleep. please don't ask why. i don't know why. the 2 viks sit, one on either side of the 2 girls. and i look at them properly and i realise tt one of them is samit. and the other is, of course, bodyguard. and i'm all excited and crestfallen at the same time--excited cos you know, it's samit; crestfallen cos it seems like he's getting it on with one of the girls, and what chance do i have against her? anyway i try to act normal and everything, and after lots of stops, samit and the 2 girls get up, and greet this man, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere. then they make their way to the door, saying bye to the bodyguard. THEN samit changes his mind and walks over to ME[!] and says, "hey no-rain.. we're going to [some dance class], wanna come along?" and i'm all shocked so all i can do is refuse, and he's like, "hey, come on.. i mean, you can do malay dance and everything, so you'll be great..!" to complicate things further, the man [who i now know is his dad] steps in and says, "yeah you'll do really well in this class.. come and join us!" well i don't know why i keep declining, but i do, and my reply this time is, "maybe next time.." and samit nods and says, "okay.. maybe next time.. bye.." and they get off the train, leaving bodyguard sleeping in the corner opposite us, and me and fana wondering what just happened.
argh, yeah i know, stupid dream!

had a busy morning. i went to rj with nadia to watch a bit of tarian. the payungs are SO nice! i wanted to bring one home. haha. they're purple or pink organza-ish material, with flower appliques. really soft and feminine and just very pretty. oh and the tarian was nice too. haha.
after tt i met shafa at bukit batok to go swimming at my sister's place. there's an entire condo district at hume avenue! it's crazy! i saw at least 8 different condos.. anyway my sister's at parc palais, it's lovely. the aparment is nice and big and airy with like 2 entrances and i think 3 rooms, and enough bathrooms for shafa and me to shower comfortably. and the pool? don't even get me started on that. it's positively huge, in fact, i daresay it's lagoonlike. haha. and there are 2 sections which are like just platforms covered by a few cms of water, where people lie to tan, or sit and read. nice..
finally i went home and slept away most of the day. ohyeah. almost forgot. my sister's roommate is cute. or at least, the parts of my sister's roommate tt i cld see looked cute. haha.

i had SUCH a great day at work today. and to think my day started out horribly!
i mean, i woke up at like 1135 this morning. and i screamed. [understandable, considering i had to be at work in 10 minutes.] i did express showering and stuff, and i reached work at like 1201. [but that's only because the clock at work is like 10 minutes slow.] and i went to the fountain to get a drink, and ex-con was there, doing the ice water. i wanted to faint. and he was like, "kau kerje ke?" really sceptically. and i giggled and sed yes. and he asked, "kau kerje pagi ke?" and i giggled somemore and sed, "'ah'ah.." and then he sed, "aku ckp ngan kau jgn ketawalah!" but i couldn't help it. i was all pissed off and sleepy and whatever to begin with, and suddenly he's just there, without me even expecting to see him! he was supposed to be working at 5, but actually umar told me he switched with hannan, but i thought umar was just kidding with me. oh you can't imagine how happy i was.
anyway he was really nice today. like, he smiled more than usual and he was just very agreeable and stuff.. maybe cos he was doing service for the first time in weeks. haha.. argh he's so incredibly cute, it's like whenever i was at one end and he was at the other end and i'd glance at him, he just looked really really unbearably good.
it was quite busy during lunchtime, so i didn't get to talk to him much during work, but in the late afternoon he was like, "ain kau nak makan tak nanti? share ngan aku ah.." and of course, i had to say yes. i can't say no to him. i just can't. and he asked me to choose what to eat. and at first i chose prawn dippers cos he claimed he only wanted to "makan sikit". then he was like, "prawn dippers? aku ingat nak makan pasta ke.." haha. so i chose fish pas. cos i absolutely love it. oh and later eric was like showing us some advert for some europa club, with freeflow of beer or whatever on ladies night [thurs]. and ex-con was like, all for it and he looked at me and he sed, "eh, pergi ah.." haha. yeah it was great. it was fun. i like working with eric, i mean, he didn't even scold me for coming late.
well, work finally ended. it seemed the time just flew by. and i went and sat outside with him, with the knowing smiles of umar, hannan, jessica AND wenxing trailing behind me. haha it was really funny when we were paying for the food, cos we had to pay like $7.30 and i was gonna pay first, and then wan ing was like, "kamu bayar untuk dia ah?" in a semi-reprimand. haha. anyway he let me pay like 3 bucks, which i think was quite nice of him. hm i thought it'd be weird eating infront of him, but he paid more attention to his food, so i could relax and take my time. he ate like doubly-quick so in the end i just gave him most of my share. hey, i mean, i like the guy, so whatever makes him happy man.. it was less pedas than i remembered, but nice anyway. i topped it off with orange sherbet, and we hung out there with kak diana till like 6-plus..
shit he's so cute! i want to die! and i took 2 ringtones from his phone and he remembers my email! sighhhhhhhhhhhhh.. okay this could take all night. for now, i'm done. i'm on an ex-con high..

wow-wow-wow-wow-wow. i'm watching growing up gotti now, and the landscapers [everyday landscaping] are pretty damn hot!
today's CCD was this like, 15-year-old malay boy. [the age is just an estimate.] he was with his mom, and he had fish and chips. and i took particular interest in their welfare, cos he was just so cute! all sharp-featured and slim and medium-tanned. he's in tennis, i think probably the school team. and he was in tennis whites somemore. ahhh cute. i refilled his ice water when it was running low and his mom acherli made conversation with me! i mean, tt's practically the first step, isn't it? talking to his mom.. hahaha. and he even ate his coleslaw with relish [no pun intended]. a sayur-eating boy. excellent to complement Carnivore Ain.
wenxing suaned me again today! ["kamu nyer abang dah balik ah?"] i asked him who told him about ex-con and he said he just knew. oh God. ohyah and the moment i started work, ah hao started flicking water on me. so i doused him with my water glass. haha. forever bullying me sey. do i have a "bully-me-please" face? cos if so, then it's time for an appointment with woffles wu.
sigh. ex-con. just when i think i'm gonna stop liking him, he comes out and does something cute/stupid/funny that only I find cute/stupid/funny, and whatever shit i feel for him is all revived. today he was sitting outside after work and he was like, "excuse me! can get me a coke? vanilla coke.." and i just stood there and stared at him while jessica and hannan laughed. then he added, "please..? ..please.." and i was like, "one more 'please'.." and he complied with my request, so i went and got him the freakin vanilla coke. argh i am a loser!
u know, i knew umar wasn't the most baik guy in the world, but i didn't think he was THAT bad. sigh. i think everyone at my workplace has a dark side. it's crazy.
joseph was being mortally annoying today. he kept calling my name in tt fucking annoying way only he can pull off, for no other purpose than to annoy me! jingwen is starting to sympathise with me, it's THAT bad. but at least she's on my side now, and she abuses him and gives me sympathetic smiles and scolds him occasionally for bothering me, which makes this all a little easier to bear.

i had THE freakiest dream. it featured me, pregnant with, and then giving birth to, twin girls. omg. and they were HUGE twin girls! and i was all flustered about breastfeeding them or smthg stupid liddat. also in the dream was arman. remember arman? he's the cute boy who's 5 years younger than me, currently in sec 2 at st pat's. he was apparently a customer at WS swensen's and i was trying to flirt with him. argh. what a stupid freaky dream!
no CCD today, i think. but the coffee bean manager came back again.. i got to see him for five full seconds. haha. and i have a crush on one of the new pizza guys. he's fair and medium-tall, and quite handsome, melayu-looking.. and his phone's message tone is how we do, which was really the clincher for me. haha.
after work i had a strawberry super soda, rice, curry, fries, fish and strawberry ice-cream. i had to endure more of joseph's annoying crap. it was extra horrible tonight somehow. he actually pinched me and tried to hit me with a tin of sweets. fucker siak. i was screaming and hiding behind umar alternately. but seriously, i'm started to get fucking pissed off with him. why does he always pick on me? even jingwen notices. and i'm gonna be seeing more of him tmr. just great.
i'm SO sad tt mario decided to pull out! he was such a shoo-in! and i love him! but i'm slightly pacified by the fact tt this means tt nikko is back in. i love nikko too. haha. yay.

oohwee! haha sorry. it was another lovely day at work today. all the fun people--most of them anyway. haha. i wasn't doing alfresco [azhar], which i was pretty miffed about at first, but i changed my mind when i saw how busy he was tonight. haha.
okay, CCD was this father of two at table 6. he had sirloin, MW with mushroom sauce i think. his son is really cute. hm and i think he's a vik, he was all vik-nosed and tall and wearing silver stuff on his wrist.
anyway at like 10pm we ran out of two-ply rolls [as in for bills], and kak nores and eric were like, "must get from tampines.." and i was like thinking to myself, wow maybe hilman will come and send the two-plys.. so i blurted out loud, "yah, get from hilman!" and the two of them laughed. five minutes later, eric was like, "norain! go and see ur hilman.." and i was caught completely off-guard. i was like, "huh? go tampines ah?" and they were like, "yalah!" and i was like, "now?" and also "take train ah?" all these duh statements were spilling out of my mouth like water from an overturned mop bucket. [okay pardon the extra duhness.] anyway i went over to the tampines swensen's, telling myself, you won't be so lucky, ain, why would he be working tonight? and i walked in and talked to the sup, while glancing around the place. i recognised omar immediately. and i was like, sheesh, omar buat aper.. but i didn't give up and continued looking around while the sup collected all the rolls into two plastic bags. and there he was! i wanted to die. he looked the same.. and i just kept staring at him, willing him to see me and recognise me. he was about 5-8 metres away.. and i overheard him offer to soda the tables or smthg. he glanced at me, but he didn't recognise me, cos he went right back to work after tt.. sigh. it was so sad. and i was THIS close to asking the sup, "is tt hilman? can u ask him to come here?" but i kept my mouth shut. i was all bouncy and happy when i returned to WS, it was great just seeing him again.
after work i had a mini-kenduri with hannan. curry and rice and fries, 2 different kinds of fish fillet and fries, black sesame ice-cream, san fran kid, and some cream of leek and onion soup. so. it explains why i'm still awake now.

someone searched for "baba shafia ain" yest [13th March 2005 01:47:38 AM]--how freaky is that?
anyway, i had a REALLY great day today! wow. i shall detail it, bit by bit here, so... you've been warned.
met baba at tampines to have lunch at the TM swensen's.. she was late, so i bought a copy of april cleo and browsed through the bachelors--some of whom are too hot to be allowed and others who are questionable at best--and did discreet mat-watching. hehe. ANYWAY. the moment we walked in there was this cute guy, cina-ish malay ah.. his jeans are super damn low [they're also hang ten. remind me to buy a pair!] and he was wearing a walkie-talkie and everything and he just looked really cute ah. and lucky for us, we were at his station. so there was lots of interaction with him. he served us ice water, and he took our order, cleared our plates, stuff liddat. his name, btw, is md hilman. how interesting. anyway it was really funny at first cos baba and i already knew what we wanted to buy so when they gave us the menus, we just put them aside, and flipped thru our respective cleos instead. haha. the food was great, we had the fish pas, sea pas and sambal fish. and the fish pas has become my new favourite food. it's SO nice! yums. later we had a top 5 each. baba was rattling off the abbreviations ["SCC, FCM, CPBC.."]--buat malu je.. i had van-lime SH [which tastes like that green-and-white stick icecream!!!], cookies, cofy, MAF and mango [which i've never tasted before, and it's quite nice..]. sedapnye. i'm getting hungry all over again just thinking about it. haha. no sorry tt's a lie. i was totally stuffed to the brim. but it was all so delicious, i almost licked the sundae dish clean. i said "almost". ooh and i was using my pen to write something, and i terdropped it ah.. and hilman just leaped up out of nowhere and helped me retrieve it. i don't think i'm ever gonna throw tt pen away. and my bag was open and i think they all saw my uniform. haha. buat malu. but anyway, we were finally done so we asked hilman for the bill and baba pandai2 gi kasi exact change, so we spent a few nail-biting minutes wondering if they'd return us the billfold so we cld tip hilman. but don't worry, he returned it to us, and baba took the breakfast flyer while i took the receipt with HIS NAME on it, and i slipped in a $2 note, and at baba's insistence, i gave him back the billfold just to make sure he got the tip. haha. i shd have scribbled my number on it or smthg. hahaha. anyway he like, gave it to his manager. bodoh nyer budak. but she gave it back to him, and i dunno if it went into the tip box or his own pocket in the end. we left a few minutes later, and JUST in time to see him come out of the dishwashing area and smile at him! oohwee!
and then i had work. as usual, joseph HAD to comment on my dressing and stuff. but work was great. it was apparently quite busy in the morning, but it was pretty slow during my shift, and i was doing alfresco somemore. i had like, a total of less than 10 customers at any one time. quite slack. and of cos, my alleged "abang" was working. haha. he was really quite nice today. there were a couple of milkshake orders, and after i saw him drink some in the kitchen, i said, "eh, kalau kau ader milkshake jgn hog ah.. kasi aku sikit.." and then he was like, "kat dapur ader, kau ambik ah.." wow.. and later there was an MAF M/M/S, and he offered it to me! excellent. then we were doing closing, and i was looking for gloves, so i asked him, and he pointed vaguely to some spot ah, so i was like, huh.. and he was like, "mata besar pun tak nampak.." WOW. i wanted to melt right there. then after work he asked if i wanted to go to tunnel on the 30th. of cos i sed okay. but we'll see how it goes. hehe.
i still got suaned ah. i was like, watching ah-boy make the sal rice using cream sauce, then wenxing was like, "dia handsome ah?" referring to ah-boy, so i was like, "TAK AH!" and then wenxing was like, "yalah, botak handsome ah?" botak=ex-con. sheesh. and lots of times during the night he suaned me for being inside when i was supposed to be outside, and kept pointing to the fountain. buat malu je.
CCD was this really nice malay guy wearing nusantara pants and a 2000 kayaking expedition tshirt, with 2 kids. NO they're not his kids. they're his cousins. i know, cos joseph asked him. hahaha. oh and sya paid a short visit.
yup all in all it was a great day for me.

wow. great way to fuck up my day. a pair of fucking runaway billers. two skinny manjen males, and oh i just can't go on. it's too painful. worst of all was the look on kak nores' face when i told her. anyway, hanan and i had to split the cost of $28.75.. which works out to slightly over 14 fucking dollars. it was horrible.
other than the above, it was a great day. i was doing alfresco with hanan and it's easy and nice talking to him.. no CCD, unless you count this NS guy who bought some takeaway coffee derivative. and filza came by for a bit.. haha i think it was the first time i've seen her in tudung.. yeah it was a good workday cos it was all the fun ppl i.e. all malays--me, liyana, kak nores, azhar, hanan, umar, and eric. okay eric's not malay, but he's really nice and fun. and there was stella but she was doing cashier so tak kira ah.. haha..
and for supper i had the leftovers of the abovementioned pair of assholes, rice and cream sauce and chilli sauce. bes.. plus a S/S SCC. it's not bad, but i prefer cookies.

yo yo. today was oklah, boring though, cos no actual CCD and no interesting customers or anything. there were some very cute little kids though. a filipino/indon/what else baby at table 21 with the biggest liquid black eyes and boyot cheeks. adorable nak mampos! then later he was replaced by this malay toddler, who was almost as chubby, with wavy brownish hair. i think lots of hair looks great on kids. if you know what i mean.
waitressing is not a nail-friendly activity. my beautiful express manicure is all chipped and scratched now. what a pity. ohwell. it was free, yah?
more suaning today. [i can't believe i'm saying tt. i thought tt once i left organised skl, i'd never have to say tt again. ANYWAY.] it was set off by joseph as usual, this time with, "where's ur loverboy? not working tmr ah?" and i went nuts and i started wailing at him, accusing him of telling everyone especially the cooks about ex-con. everyone else was laughing [esp azhar], as joseph vehemently denied telling the cooks. he sed tt wenxing already knew about it before. which i really can't believe, but he looked like he was telling the truth. and then jingwen sed, "aiyah, just suka wat.. tak payah malu lah.." which made me stop and think. [only on the inside, i kept ranting and raving on the outside.]
next week's another 6-day week. kurang asam. and only one day with ex-con. tt is if he doesn't switch with someone again. i guess baba's right. it's a sign tt it's just not meant to be.
i love this song. love the movie too.
Down with love, the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love, the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Take that moon and wrap it in cellophane

Down with love, let's liquidate all its friends
The moon, the June, the roses, and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love, yes, take it away, away

Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds, and the bees, and the Viennese
Down with eyes, romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, and down with Cupid
Brother let's stuff that Dove
Down with love
Oh let's go

Down with things that give you that well-known pain
Take that moon and wrap it in cellophane

Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love, take it away, away

Take it away, take it away
Give it back to the birds, and the bees and the Viennesse

Down with eyes, romantic and stupid
Down with sighs, and down with Cupid
Brother let's stuff that Dove
Brother let's stuff that Dove
Brother let's stuff that Dove
Down with love
Down with love
Down with love
Down with love
