Mandarin

But first, a quick update on life -

  Finally got to sleep in after such a long time. Wanted to take a nap after work yesterday , and guess what? It didn't happen cuz my sis lost her wedding ring. Tragic isn't it? 
   I swear it was so darn scary cuz she was tearing up ._. She said she might've lost it in a shopping mall, without further ado I rushed upstairs like a ninja and changed while chanting a somewhat mantra :"a sad sister is not a good sign. a tearing up sister is bad. " Don't know where the "mantra" came from but yeah, lol.   So after searching for it all over the house and shopping mall like a mad man. We finally .. gave up. lol. Good news?  her friend found it. (thank god now I can finally sleep T^T)
    Ughh.. Hell I swear I am gonna put a padlock and chain on my future wedding ring just to save all the trouble -_-


Moving on... the title--  CHINESE Mandarin.
I didn't realize how much I missed reading mandarin words until lately. weird huh? Sure I complain about it being a god darned hard subject all the time (but it is ._.)  But truth to be told, it is honestly a beautiful language . Just the fact that mat salleh's put it in a way that says that :"how it is written has nothing to do at all with how it sounds ." just make it so.. sacred. 

  Sure it took 6 years for us to learn word by word but there's no other language like it . Proud of being chinese? maybe. Proud of the chinese art and culture? definitely.

 fun fact: did you know you can forget how to write mandarin words even if you remember how to read it? yep. true story. 

Outing with them colleagues :)

  After work we decided to go Sunway for movie :D Of course anyone with a sane mind wouldn't wear an old town uniform for their outing so we changed. MUAHAHAHA ((no more kai syn the waitress but kai syn the *i'm-goin-out-if-you-stop-me-i'm-gonna-bitch-talk-you* )

  lol, so.. before the movie we had like an hour plus to spare...
So.. We went shopping x)
  Hahaha, first time shopping with a guy, strangely it was fun *and yes somewhat awkward at first*(Yang sern was beside me when I was picking out a skirt ._. , but haha, he gave great suggestions :D) . He has something I don't -- fashion sense. So thanks a bunch dude ! :D Not to mention awesome Carrie who somehow can spot sales or cheap stuff at a glance. (This is what you call SKILLS  man!) So yep, for someone who shops once in a blue moon, I can't believe I managed to buy clothes D: like OMG SIA. HAHAHA.

oKAY , nuf with the girl talk. 

CAPTAIN AMERICA. (the movie, duh :P) WAS AWESOME.
Major reason? (on my perpective laa)
Chris evans *fan girls squels-drools-faints*
Of course the plot was like equally awesome (it's marvel, whuddoya expect?)

What's funny?
When Steve Rogers aka Captain America aka Chris Evans enters the screen... (his chest man.. his chest! even though he's a fossil , he's hawt sia)
  I swear I heard the whole cinema just let out a breath of admiration with me (yes girls, you know who you are xD) Like lol. how do I put it? instant orgasm? okay lol no, that sounds too wrong. hahahha.
But YEP. He's hawt. (totally sorry if you want a complete movie review but hahaha, my hormones took over ) 

oH YeaH, one thing. I didn't get why black widow and captain america didn't just get together (will they eventually? x) ) . lol, first kiss since 1945 sia.. ngaww he's first kiss -since 1945-  GONE.
lol moving on.. Oh yeah, I wanted to cry so baddd when he was talking to peggy T^T .
 
Other than that... oh yeah, Nick Fury's car has a god darned sense of humor sia. Not to mention long lasting air conditioning xD  emm.. lol. If I were to review every part i'd just say.. overall.. it was just too awesome that I can't find words to describe it. Thank god I watched the first captain america (yes, else I'd be lost about HYDRA, BUCKY and all that)

  Oh yeah, check out James arthur 's songs :')
It..it touches your soul (like literally T^T) yet again, thanks yang sern for the ride home and playing james arthur's songs in your car.

Life's good right now :) Just great in fact. I'm gonna miss my classmate turned colleagues ..  (T^T)

You guys light up my world :D 

Kick start to life 2 -Days as a waitress part 2

   There wasn't much customers today at old town so much of my time is used to fool around with the staff . And yes, disturb some of them as well. haha,  I was messing around with the DING-DING thing (yes, the bell at the counter) .

I got the Abang Chef to run out from the kitchen looking alert as hell xD After he realized it was me,  He just stopped and took the nearest object (I think it's a packet of MEE) and threatened to throw it at me. Just god darned priceless sia. xD (sorry abang chef! but yes, I'd do it again :P)

 Was working with a waiter named Min from Myanmar yesterday. You'd be surprise at how seriously they treat their work. He shared his views on how it irritated him when customers call for waiters using those "lip puckering/suckering" sounds. Like calling pets -_-  . We stand on same ground about the annoying sound people make to catch our attention -_- ,
      c'mon la dei, can't you say EXCUSE ME?


  Like that wasn't enough, one of the customers called me a myanmar lady. And I don't know what happened but I just shot back at his statement with a "I'm a local chinese lady thank you very much -_-"
Who knew I had a chinese pride in me :3 But yep, that chinese uncle was such a god darned nuisance
-_-
 
  Work has been fine up till now ;) (thanks yang sern for making white coffee for me when I felt like a zombie this morning xD ) 

Kick start to life chapter 2 - Days as a waitress

  Been working at Old town white coffee signature for a week now, and mannnnn.... I'm beat.

I look forward to work thanks to the bunch of classmates-turned-colleagues. I swear I'm gonna miss them so much after this, like seriously.

The best part bout having classmates as your colleagues..

-we will COVER for each other *shhh don't tell :P*
-we sneak food for each other *secret ah..jgn bagitau org lain, mampus tau?*
-we laugh at stupid flashbacks together
-we already know each other's "pattern"

Basically a waitress's job is to ..

  run around taking orders, sending orders to kitchen, getting DING-ed by kitchen, delivering food and drinks, getting the bill, collect the bill, clean the table. oh yeah, and avoid kena marah.

Other than my classmates, I got to know the staff there who are from Myanmar and Nepal. They taught me a lot :)

   There's a guy named Win Bo who is from myanmar, he has small eyes (my species :P) haha, he's friendly and darn this dude can multitask ! :D oh yeah, and he's 19. He's trademark is his nest-like hair (I can't help imagining a bird on his head every time I see him) Did I mention he's the assistant manager?
   He went back Myanmar a couple days ago. Though our time was short, he shared some of his views on how to boost sales for a restaurant.  And some of he's marketing ideas actually makes sense.


   Next time you wanna start a business of sorts, I think its best to hear views from staffs (not to say that you should blindly follow them -_- )  . Even though some of it might not be of use at all but it's good to know their perspective too, who knows? they might give you a great idea on how to boost the sales :)

Just thought I'd share this :)

When you're depressed, it's almost impossible to remember all the wonderful, worthwhile things about yourself. You're in a fugue state that takes you down into the very depths of misery, so feeling smart, pretty, funny, gracious, and selfless is like an exercise in defeat. None of those things ring true, even when they are. In addition to reaching out for help from all the people who love you, I want you to do me a favor. Keep this list close by, and look at when you're depressed and need a reminder that there are so many beautiful things to remember about yourself, things that touch the people around you every day.

1. You Are Love

You are loved. You are loving. You are love itself, plain and simple. You exude love and you have so many wonderful things to share with others. You may not feel that way when you're depressed, but try. Recognize this, realize that you are worthy of love and that the love you give is worthwhile, and it will go a long way toward battling your bleak feelings. It may not immediately cure them but it shines like a light at the end of the tunnel, and sometimes that light is all you need.

2. Your Smile Lights up The World

You might not feel like smiling right now, but realize that your smile is the most precious thing to a lot of people. Maybe it's your mother or father, a sibling, a best friend, a partner, a secret admirer, a teacher, or a coworker. Maybe it's someone you barely know who also wrestles with depression, and feels hopeful every time he or she sees you smile. Your smile can light up the room, yes, but it also lights up the world, and it will come again.

3. You're Strong

You've been through some things, haven't you? Don't look at your tragedies and triumphs and compare them to anyone else's. Everyone goes through their own experiences, and your pain is uniquely yours. You've made it through, that's the point. You've overcome, even if you don't feel that way right at this moment. You're here, you're breathing, blinking, living, and being. That's huge.

4. You're An Inspiration

That's also an inspiration, even if you don't feel that way. You inspire someone out there. It might be an online friend you met through a fan forum or a support group. It could be your little sister, your cousin, or even the girl sitting behind you in class that you don't know very well. Everyone inspires someone, and someone out there is inspired by you.

5. You're Beautiful

You are beautiful. A goddess. A shining beacon of strength, perseverance, flaws, victories, talents, and intelligence. You are an exquisite creature from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Beneath the skin you are a miracle and above it you are a marvel. Don't you ever doubt that.

6. You're Valuable

You're so valuable. You're priceless. There are people who love you unconditionally and without reservation. There are people who look up to you and depend on you. There are people who smile because of you. Never doubt your value, because there is no end to it. Every day you walk through this world, you increase its worth.

7. You're Enough

You're not too fat or too skinny. You're not too moody or too cold. You're not too tall or too short. You're not too hyper or too morose. Everything you are is the perfect amount. You are enough. You are just enough.

Depression is so hard. It could be a momentary case of the mean reds or a more long-term condition. Please remember that it does get better, you can overcome this, and you are worthy of feeling happy. You're lovely, you're so strong, and you're brave. Hold on to that. If you have other helpful, loving reminders for friends, family members, strangers, and our AWS community, please share them. Everyone can use love and support when they're depressed.
