Afterrrrrrr the longggg longgggg wait, (it's only a week) I'm back to update my blog :) I'm too busy with working life this week i have seriously no time.
Let me start...
The wednesday that just passed, I started my new job (let me call it the morning job) It starts from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. It's a new Ramen shop, high class ramen shop, not like ohsho, in Meritus Mandarin Hotel's shopping mall called Mandarin Gallery. I cannot announce the name yet because we're not open, but we're seriously lack of staff so anyone who needs a job can try :)
We're not open yet, so we're undergoing thru training and food tasting!! :) Training wise, i'm fine, not that i'm braggin but i truly know all that we're supposed to know so i'm cool... Not difficult for me to keep up with fujibe san. It's cute to see them learn all the aisatsu too, esp when majority of them are beginners in the language. For the food tasting part, it's HEAVEN! the ramen is VERY GOOD! No joke. And other then that, we're doing cleaning most of the time...
I like this new working environment because, everyone is new so everyone is equal. The management is Japanese so the teachings and the serving concept is very much the typical japanese kind that i LOVE... It's very fun to work there and i really like it.

Let's talk about my night job now,
CHRISTMAS IS COMING! my head chef decorated the toilet with this!
I am still struggling with the job in Kazu, to be frank. There's a certain amount of stress because the adults have different faces while talking to different people. They say different things too... Everynight seems to be like a battle, a war among the old people and new staffs like us will become the victims, stuck in between them.
And from what i know, the battle has been going on for 12 years. And no one had managed to destroy that old hag. But this had become the strongest motivation for me to work harder in kazu. I'll work harder to memorize the english/chinese/japanese names of FISH, SEASONAL FOODS, dig my ears damn clean to listen carefully of what is being taught in the meeting everyday and then work hard to SELL them.
When i managed to do so, i'll be on par with that old hag. and i'll have a share in that battle! I'll win, for sure *am damnnnnn confident* Unless one day, my morning job managed to win my heart over and i'll move my ass over too. If not, currently, i still love Kazu more :))

Speaking of Christmas... Joanne and i went for movie on friday. A CHRISTMAS CAROL, it should be a nice flim for the festive, a nice show for parents to bring their kids to because it's very educational. But for us, it was totally a waste of money... I swear for more then 3 scene, we were complaining it's wasting our precious sleeping time. lol... We actually wanted to watch GOKUSEN. but cathay doesnt show it DDD:
this wasnt good. She wanted it to look like she was kissing him. X)
---
and for today! we had this!
ZU-ZU! :)))
this was how much i ate...
and this was hers. X)))

I'm so dead beat.
it's really tiring. But i feel fuller in life. hmmm... i shall go get some sleep now. AND GO FOR MY RABURI DINNER LATER! hohohoho! I'll take piccus, tons of them... if not, at LEAST one pohto WITH him :)) Hai hai! Ganbarimasuuuuu :D
My secondary school friends seems to all still clique together after all these years. And they were the clique i used to be with. I made a choice, i left them for my bandmates...
I dont regret, of course i dont. I love my band like hell loads... and i still have alice :)
But really, looking at all of them and seeing that they all celebrated each other's 21st birthday and had so much fun. I would stop to wonder, if i'm wishing for the same thing or not. But afterall, i dont seems to be a people's person because I am someone who would rather sit down at a cafe, read a love novel, have some red tea. Rather then going out with 8 people and enjoy the night with alcohol.
And so, i told my family, that i would skip a celebration for my 21st birthday. It would be meaningless to have a chalet and everyone who comes just sits there and talk. Chalets are meant to be fun for crazy people doing crazy things WITH the help of alcohol :)) Though I know... 21st is a special year...
I just need special people with me for my birthday. I dont need presents, really. I actually am not a person who LOVES present, i can practically buy anything i wish for and anything i had wished for would be something within my own financial means. And so, dont ask me what present i want for my birthday :) I would be glad if people remembered :) Wishes are nearer to the heart<3 Joanne, i really dont need presents! Please save up for your overseas trip ok? :)))
My boyfriend will have a birthday dinner with me! :)) AT KAZU SUMIYAKI!!!! WAHAHAHA! *am evil*
Why do japanese kids LOOK/SOUNDS/BEHAVE better and cuter then the singapore ones? Kim, my co-worker at work reminded me that korean kids are actually as well behaved and cute like the japanese. So, come on, let's face it... the problem seriously lies on us, SINGAPOREANS.
Today we had this big group of singapore family with like 6 kids aged from 3 to 6 years old. The moment they came in, i told joanne "I hope i wont end up killing them" THEY WERE SO EMBARASSEDLY FUCKING NOISY at the beginning. I think food shut them up, thank god. If they continue to sing i'll poison one of them to a mute.
whereas, at the same time... This japanese family with 2 kids one about 2 years old and the other one around 4... THEY WERE DAMN CUTE AND OBEDIENT! One example, japanese children take food from the table themselves and eat quietly, in a proper manner. But, the singaporean children SNATCHED the food from mummy's hand and make a big fuss when they failed. *shames* The japanese kid wants water, he calls for it from us himself. But the singapore kid... the MOTHER shouts at us for water FOR THE KID. dammit... is your kid handicapped? cant talk?
there really is a difference. really... And i'm beginning to get scared! Is it all about the genes that make our kids like this? If so, i would rather die then to marry a singaporean and produce babies. I NEED TO MARRY JAPANESE! to avoid murdering... D: And another example...
Later in the day, one couple with a new born baby, well... about 6months old came in. The baby girl was a bitch, right from the start... i am pretty sure she WILL be a very bitchy bitch when she gets bigger. She was squealing all the way, not crying for milk or anything. She is just purely squealing to attract attention from her parents. PFFT wtf... Joanne gave me a foodtray cause i wanted to slam it on her DDD:
I, too, know that it isnt the kid's fault but the parents. We are what our parents made us become. At least we are so when we were young and under the protection of them. And singaporean parents OVERPROTECT their kids like they will practically crush upon the slightest setback.
GROW UP! please... i mean the sg parents... GROW UP!
On the 24th December 2009, Chirstmas EVE, to avoid the traffic jam, sardine train and the crowded streets... We have decided to book a hotel room at the hotel, HOLIDAY INN just right beside our work place. LOL! And anyone who wants to avoid the jam could join us! :))) Just give me a call :)
And speaking of which, I needa complain. Yesterday when i went for lunch with choochoo at shaw house, i saw this group of japanese girls who was randomly crazy taking picture of orchard road and the CHIRTMAS DECOS! DDD: Orchard i can understand but our xmas decos are so damn ugly, WHYYY?
I was telling joanne after supper today, that i prefer old times xmas deco... You know when orchard road and the shopping malls are still decorated with the shiny coloured ball/bells, the real chirstmas tree (not like all the eletric fake ones now), red ribbons, white angels and stuffs. I always look at my old photos when my parent bring me to orchard road for chirstmas when i was like 4 years old... That's when xmas feels like xmas... D:

And this...
is today's supper at TCC peranakan place.
DEVIL-misu :))
and my SENCHA (greentea)
I was telling ning that i need diet. More then the word diet, a more precise saying should be "EXERT MORE SELF-DISCIPLINE" I wont do if i continue to eat supper like this. Although........... my boyfriend really likes the small little tummy i have. hmmm... XD It's ok! I found a new diet way! APPLE KUROSU! :)
It's good for health! Good for complexion! Good for disgestion! GOOD FOR DIET! :)))))) But it's expensive D: I mean good apple kurosu is expensive. I bought this $11.90 one and it only lasted me for 3 days because the black vinegar (kurosu) content is too low, it's too diluted. I need good strong ones :))) hehe...

That's all for today.... I'm off the download ONE PEICE! for my love :)
and yes, we always change in the same ONE toilet. Saves time you see, since our workplace has only one toilet but only me and joanne dare to occupy it for more then 10mins. LOL! Seriously dont know why, everyone avoid using this toilet... X) I dont care... lol. And yah, see what joanne's doing? Yes, we dont need a reason to act stupid because we always do whenever whereever LOL... XDD
And on our way home today... we saw GOKUSEN's poster up in the station already. SADLY, the glass wasnt clean enough and it blocked my tamamori DD: I wanted to take a silly photo of it but joanne told me to do it in town, she believes yutako's face wont be blocked if it's in town DDD:

This afternoon, i went to novena IRAS building with my boyfriend to pay his tax and get the related document for applying his PR... Then we went to this restaurant to have lunch... It's boring, but i'm happy, it's with him :) And i'm happy that the first thing he asked for upon sitting down was MILKTEA! lol... Although he might have really wanted it, but he's not the milktea person in the past... :))))

OH! I'm so stuck with this song for the WHOLE DAY
É÷ÃæÅª¾µÂú and i was practically humming this while i wash my cups at work~ And i had the need to hum it to my mum and ask her what's the name of this song :) I like<3 And i only knew it today, that this originated from MATCHY! lol... Yeah, daisenpai!
It's called Yuyake no Uta... :))) Original always sounds good :)
ÍÆ°×¼õ½ýŪ½÷¿Í And for this... i hate the faye wong version, this sounds good<3 But stilllllll... NAKAJIMA MIYUKI's version is the best. I just cant manage to find the mp3... D: Sadddded, i love her voice and the japanese lyrics is wayyyyy better.
haha... I'm just confused. With myself and my own emotions and i dont know exactly what i want. It seems like i love him and could be with him forever since he is, as a matter of fact, chaning bit by bit for me. But still, it seems like it isnt enough for me. Like i need more... More of what, idk, serious... I'll be fine, dont worry... after i sort out my thoughts :)

Today, i went out for family dinner. Of course with all my aunties, uncles and cousins. And my DAD & his THIRD WIFE. Yes, people... dont be shocked. My dad divorced my mum 12years ago because he said he fell in love with this filippino maid whom became his 2nd wife. And thru-out these years she had 2 of his kids, whom all died, dont ask me why because i dont know and am not interested to know as well. And for-whatever-or-when-that-happened, he left this "2nd wife" for this lady we saw just now. I did not use the word divorced because they were not officially married anywhere.
Today, he brought her to the family dinner... and i later found out from my aunty whom they live with, that, the 3rd wife is actually ONE YEAR YOUNGER then i am... Because my aunty was saying this in front of everyone so when my dad looked at me i just said "I dont understand, i dont want to try and understand either. One day when i bring a 50year old guy to you and say i'll marry him then you tell me how is it"
Seriously, dont come telling me that this is LOVE. for his case, this is definetly not so. If a man decides to leave the first woman that he thought could live with him forever, for another woman, i can believe it's about love. But if a man does it the second time and uses the same reason, then i dont think so. What's more, a lady younger then his own daughter, i can imagine how they make love. Isnt it disgusting? tsk.
and another bitching session too :)))) Today, there is alot to bitch about. It's officially the first week by joanne. And we were happily bitching about everything :)) Okays, not so much of bitching, we did bitch alot about the seniors but we're commenting and sighing to the way they work.
I realise one new thing today. When customer tell you they have a bottle, you are suppose to ASK THE CUSTOMER WHAT BOTLLE IS THAT. like, hello? I pay money to remember what i drink? Ain't we suppose to remember for our customer? Why do we have to ask? Should we have a record of the shochus? Why do we not have?
hahaha... it's all unknown. But definetly something i want to talk about to senior tomorrow :)

can see the lashes? :))))
I think it makes the eye look bigger, like it looks more double-eyelid-ed X)) I'm single eyelid btw :) And i'm starting to really love them! hahaha! It's really less stressful for my eye. Normally after removing my mascarra, my eye feel very sore but after peeling off the fake lashes i feel pretty normal on the eyelid~ NICE :)))) i like :)
MY lovely granny... visited me yesterday morning and we had a botching session about my mum. LOL! Family affairs... sad. X)

I'm happy today, because i served japanese... I was so excited when i see 4 groups of them in kazu today! Totally best of all the days i'd worked :)) But i guess it was a bad day for joanne and ning... i dont know exact but i hear loads going on out there. I learnt my lesson already and i know better then leaving my station and lend a helping hand. So i stayed where i am and listen.... XD
First, i wanna scream... INSOMNIA! please go away. I have been sleeping at 8/9am these days. And it's hell if i had to wake up early to go somewhere or do something. I am damn tired my brain seems to have stopped while i was at work just now DD: But i had to complete the document translation for my guy's PR application and check out some website... So, i am here... :)
and YES! i did shoppings today. finally, after i get CASH$$ because kazu pays cheque and i can only get cash on hand from DBS, it's not crossed. I actually got the cheque last friday... hehe. And i had the need to buy things :)) Bought my facial foam, my make-up remover and cosmetics in plaza singapura's SASA...
and then, i was digging CHEAP fake eyelashes. Can you believe i only spent SGD$15 on this set here? It's a fake eyelash applicator (SGD$6.00) and beside it in the bigger box it's the fake bottom lashes!! BOTTOM LASHES, 5 pairs and only SGD$7.90! *grins* I'm running out of fake lashes too so i bought 2 pairs in that smaller box and it's only $4.90! Cheap bargins. And i actually think fake lashes are ALL the same, why do i need to buy those that are $8.90 PER PAIR? XD
then i proceeded to DAISO!
and here is the looooots! :))) NEW SCRUNCHY! and two ribbons, two hair pin for make-up use... :)
and adding everything up onto my dressing table... It looks like this now! XD When you look into my room from the window outside, it looks 101% girly~
seeeee? :)))

Work wise...
Everything is getting better, like secretly me and joanne has been turning all the shoyu back into the correct position and those people are too busy to actually take notice of such little things. But still, i am happy because we succeeded in changing ONE incorrect japanese dining manners back into the correct one. And, i start to feel like i belong there...
which, i am upset that i started feeling drifted apart from my dearest tamaya. Like the people whom once i felt so much like my family are not already and i'm starting to accept new people in my life. But i understand this is life... yeah.
