FUCK.That big guy up there must really hate me.
Saturday, March 29, 2008
I feel so unwell. ):Last night, I downed the jugs of alcoholic spirits like how an athlete would drink his water after a marathon. 2.5 - 3 jugs later, I was asleep for most of the night at Dbl O.
I suck. ):
I guess I caught a cold there, because it was already very cold there, and downing 2.5 - 3 jugs of very cold liquids didn't help.
I think I sneezed over a hundred times today.
Thankfully I like my job, if not you wouldn't see me going to work even if you threaten to sack me or something.
I don't know how I managed to survive the eight or so hours at work, especially when this was the busiest day ever in my almost a month of working here. It should be, because we achieved a record amount of sales in a day since the bar opened in 1991, around $25,000. We're just $17,000 short of our monthly target, and with three more days of business, it should be very easy.
Unfortunately, a couple of dumbfucks spoiled my day. It was nearing the end of the night, at around 1 or 2 in the morning. I was already half-fucked from my illness, and was clearing their bottles of beer. They had put many finished bottles in a bucket. Yeah, it was my mistake for not checking the bucket properly, but having a hangover, being pretty ill and twelve cold panadols was never going to give me a clear mind. It's not as if I cleared the bucket immediately. I lifted it up slowly, and took it to the bar for disposal. Around five to ten minutes later, they suddenly tell me there was still a full bottle inside. What the fuck! Why couldn't they tell me when I was clearing the bucket? Fine, so I asked them if I could buy them a bottle, in a pretty sarcastic tone. How shameless it is when you want a waiter who earns $7 an hour to pay for your fucking bottle which is almost his two hours' wages? If it was totally my fault, I would have accepted it, but they could have informed me. It's not as if I cleared their drinks even though they told me not to. I lifted the bucket slowly infront of them. Fucking shitfuck customers.
I want to recover by Sundayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. ):

I am a bad drinker. Period. No excuses.Thanks to everyone who turned up even though 80% of the time I was asleep at the table. Nic, Frank, Junzhang, Marcus, Toktong, Terry, Waiyan, Hanwei, Yuru.
Thanks to everyone who wished me later in the day. Wenlei, Joey (Lim), Jerome, Lecia, John and whoever I may have missed because I am totally f*cked up right now.
Thanks to Junzhang who made sure I got home safely. I would have slept outside my workplace if I was allowed to... Hahahaha.
And of course my sweetie Jacqueline. I don't know how I missed your name, but I guess it was such a beautiful name that I was so awed by it and forgot all about mentioning you. Don't be angry lah!

I've turned 20! :DThanks to everyone who wished me around midnight, in order of timing, Cindy, Yvonne, Yuru, Kellie, Clarissa, Frank, Joey (Tan), Junzhang, Adeline, my family and my colleagues! :D
I'm so going to get wasted tonight. (:
Even though I've wished for everyone to be happy, my one wish for myself is that I hope that I'll grow taller. To like 1.8 metres. ): Please please please.

When I turn 20 tonight, I'd be... Working. ):My birthday wish would be for everyone to be happy! I'm not selfish! (:
Anyone else up for drinking tomorrow?
Saturday, March 22, 2008
I thought the long weekend without working would do me well but instead I'm plagued with insomnia and a general feeling of emo. ):I don't know why I can't sleep. ): It's not like I was thinking of stuff or feeling sad, which were the triggers in the past. Argh. Thankfully there was Nip/Tuck season 5 to keep me occupied from 6 in the morning to noon.
And thankfully there was a football session in the afternoon even though I had barely slept. Football is one of those things that I can sacrifice a lot for. Yeah, like girls. Certain girls.
Yeah, you can see I'm trying to be optimistic by being thankful for stuff. Haha. I'm gonna be so late meeting the boys later! I'm so starved. ):
Tes yeux, j'en reve jour et nuit

Told you guys my dream of being a plastic surgeon is good already!Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/19/fashion/19beauty.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
Been bleeding a lot recently. I think my platelets are pretty low, and I'm not suaning you Boon Wee. The cut on my lip from a slip while shaving took like half an hour to stop, and my finger cut from that @#$! bottle when I was throwing out the rubbish bled a lot for a couple hours. ):
No more work this week. I'm happy to rest, but not so happy because of the lack of money earned this week. :(

I should have gone to work tonight :( Somehow, I feel emo. Again.Maybe it's because I read about the plight of this young person here: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1895988.
Makes me want to go AWOL in America and never go back. If I were to ever go blind, I think I'd just kill myself. Seriously.
I wish I was stronger.
There are so many things I wish I'd stop doing, but this is not the time in life for me.
I guess I'm sleeping with Johnnie Walker tonight again. :)

Not blogged for a while, so here I am.There're a couple of things I don't enjoy doing in my current job.
First, it's the smoking tables thing. There're only a limited number of smoking tables outside the bar, and it's really a bother to explain to customers why they can't smoke at some of the tables, and why the customers at the next table are allowed to smoke. The way I see it, it's fucking ridiculous. Customers who take tables outside of the bar want to smoke. And it's a bar for fucks sake. Almost every patron smokes. It's not some family restaurant or some shit. Ban smoking at bars for fuck? If people can't take the smoky environment at bars, just go home and drink. Bars are places for people to kill themselves with alcohol and cigarettes, hello! It's going to be even more ridiculous next year. I think the only place where you're gonna be allowed to smoke is in your own toilet. Wow wee what a free society we live in.
And the next thing would be iced water. Yeah, customers always ask for iced water. It's fine, but the bartenders are always so busy, they don't want to serve the iced waters. Then the customers complain. So what do I do now? I take the dirty glasses that still have ice in them, lean over the bar-top and fill the water myself. Not the most hygienic way, I admit, but it's a win-win situation for the customers, me and the bartenders. But really, if you want iced waters just go home lah.
But still, I love my job lah.
Okay, I'm pretty inebriated by the whisky (Thanks Boon Wee!) I had just now, so I going off to bed. Good night everyone!

Somehow, the below link is pretty sad.http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/1195228363024wj2.jpg
And some japanese formula for finding hot chicks:

Work's fun! :D

Haha! Destroyed a few kids' dreams.
What a day. Drunk and violent customer, a caucasian chick who thought I was hitting on her when I asked for her details for our mailing list, and because I served their group really nice, but actually I treat almost all the customers the same what. She subsequently asked me if I was legal (for you know what), what I was doing on my day-off tomorrow and asked me to an art gallery. Times like this I wish I was taller and hence more confident and hence more likely to say yes. ): Yeah, I said no. I thought I would get big tips from them, but no. ): An air kiss doesn't earn me any money.
And I found out that giving customers a complimentary lighter for any mishaps really helps. No smoking tables, bill problems and the such, and I go "sorry for the trouble, here's a lighter compliments of us" and everything's suddenly fine. Haha.

I must be getting good at this job! $10 in tips today (everyone shares), and today's a slow day. But for the first time, people gave me personal tips, which are supposed to be shared but... You know. I got caught the first time though, when this nice caucasian man shooed my colleague away and put a couple of ten dollar notes in my hand. Didn't expect my colleague to tell on me, but well she did and into the tips box it went. ):Later in the night, this nice and pretty lady put another red note in my apron. Probably wasn't very old because she paid using those POSB debit card many of us apply for when we turn 17. No prizes for guessing what her name was, yeah it was Joey. Tan though. Haha. I didn't get caught this time though. :P
I guess this is really the first job that I enjoy working. Maybe it's the hours, somehow I am energetic the whole night, compared to when I do office jobs, most of the time I feel like sleeping. Thank you Jacqueline's baby for helping me get this job!
Off day tomorrow! :D

My insomnia is not something nice to joke with. You don't know how fucked up it is until you experience it.
I would give so much if I could fall asleep easily again. It's not like I'm stressed or anything, I just can't fucking sleep and I need like 10 hours a night.
And alcohol just gives me a fucking hangover and the feeling like I've only slept two hours even though I've slept eight.
I am seriously considering getting sleeping pills again.

Guess who I served today! Michelle Saram of Meteor Garden 2 fame! She looks the same in person as on television and everything.
Day off tomorrow! :D Finally time to play God of War on my PSP. Okay, so I don't have much to do........
I love the bar's "free" lighters. :P

Just finished my second day of work at Emerald Hill No. 5! I didn't post yesterday because it was my first day at work, and it would be a little unfair to judge how the job is from 8 hours. Okay, so 2 days isn't a long time too, but what the heck.All I can say that working there is a really humbling and fun experience. Humbling in a sense that I had to really serve the customers very well, and on hand and foot if necessary, all for the sake of an extra $2 an hour (I believe the average pay for a usual waiter is $5 an hour?) and tips. Okay, for the reputation of the bar too. But it's really a nice feeling when you are thanked and everything, even though sometimes there are assholes like that guy who signed "I Love You" and drew smiley faces on his different payment slips and got everyone in trouble. I also had to do the usual dish washing and garbage throwing, especially when I am new and I can see that I kena extra. But it's really alright because it's taking one for the team!
But I like the humbling experience because it is one of my ambitions to open a nice bar one day and working from the bottom up I can see how things are done in a really popular bar.
Work's fun too because the staff there are really friendly, nice and are willing to teach. I was extremely blur the first day, and yet everyone was still patient towards me. Maybe cause yesterday was a slow day too, Haha. It was one of the staff's last days too, and the bartender slipped in a shot of Bacardi 151 into her drink, and when she wasn't looking, poured a few buckets of water and tomato juice over her head. Ouch.
I think the bar's a really nice place to hang out at, the prices are not that exorbitant (two martinis at $15!), peanuts are free, and it's really cool how they allow the shells to be just thrown on the floor like that. Yeah, at the end of the night the whole place is basically full of peanut shells. Thankfully, the service side is not responsible for the cleaning of that. :P Food looks great too, especially the pizza which is really thinly crusted like those authentic pizzas at Italy. Nice place to bring your date to, guys.
I shall go to sleep and await my day-off on Thursday. ):

Best video to watch when you feel like shit!The dreams finally stopped. Haha but I still dreamt of a different person last night.
I'm starting work on Monday! I'm pretty excited. (: Working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday this week. I like to work at night because it distracts me from any potential emotional moments that often happens at night!
Anyone read 2nd of March's Lifestyle section of the Straits Times? It's about Singaporeans renouncing their citizenship, something that I'm about to do soon.
Sometimes, I really wonder how life is going to be in the future. Would I one day gather up the courage and run away to a foreign land, and leave everything here behind? I am pretty impulsive, so I won't rule that out.
But I think no one will miss me if I do that because that time when I didn't want to face the world for a few days no one really gave a shit haha. Boo..... ):
Well, hope I earn much money in the days to come before enlisting!
A little more than 3 weeks before I hit the big 20. Sigh. ):
Being 20 is such a weird thing, you're no longer a teenager, yet not an adult too. It's like being stuck in the middle of nothing, proceed or retreat, it's still nothing.
I know, like my life.
It's like my moving on of things. I like to say I'm moving on, but then again I stop and realise, moving on to what? I really don't know. And I cannot go back because I don't want to like a person because I'm used to liking that person. Yes, deep down inside I can see that I've lost much feelings for that person because I'm so numb. Back then, certain things would hurt me so much, but now, it's more of like me going "uhh.. okay" when the same things happen and feeling nothing.
So what am I moving on to? aojdosajfoia I just hope life doesn't put me here in this middle of nothing place for long.
Okay, a post without a picture can be boring, so here's a picture of my cabinet! So many bottles of alcohol that when my dad saw them, he thought that I was depressed or something and told me not to waste my life away. Haha! But I don't drink much nowadays because of that Bacardi 151 that time which almost killed me. Okay, it did kill me. ):
I am eating too much nowadays. :(
