Devious Concoctions.

Currently residing at my uncle’s house at K. Selangor. Course, most of u out there don’t really know where it is. Prolly due to the lack of intelligencee dedication of our local primary school Kajian Tempatan Teacher. Peace!

This year’s surprise is…… i got an adorable baby cousin!!! Whee!!! *ahem*

Luckily for me, they have broadband,PlayStation, and one heck of a fierce dog here. So yeah I’ll be entertained enough in case the language barrier gets in the way….. usually does.

It’s been the same year after year after year after year…. we meet up, chit-chat/gossip about incidents since the previous new year, gamble A LOT (I rugi rm2 so far) and have loads of fun. Can it get any more boring??? Not necessarily. It’s great to meet up all my cousins whom i haven’t seen for the past 365 days and catch up. Rather difficult to retain a proper conversation with my hokkien-campur-cantonese-campur-english way. Haha, but at least everyone’s in good health, and we’re all merrily drunk happy joy joy. Peace!

Have a great CNY year ppl!!

Oh well, tomorrow’s my last day at work. Okie, granted I’ll only be there to help pack stuff, but still….. It’s been tonnes of fun… okie, not every second was fun. Kena scolded a bit, but who doesn’t. Got pretty close to the Khazanah Girls next door, Ivan and gang at the ice-cream parlor, Mr Freakin-Free of BV and the Tatami staff next to the promo stall. Sigh….. okie, i didn’t sell loads of stuff (I’m a bad sales girl) but yeah it was a nice whole experience by itself. Will miss it. Oh yeah, and I’ll of course miss Khin, my supervisor! She was the only one nice to me throughout my working time. Whee…. she lives so close to me, can go kacau her!!! Haha…..

Hmmm……….. That’s roughly all i can say la. The Oxford Dictionary hasn’t invented a word for what I’m feeling at the moment, but it’s a bit of remorse+sad+happy+confuse+everything else. Oh bother…..

Yay! I’m going for some hip-hop party on the 18th of Feb! It’s at the Sunway studio and it’s at night. Okie, I’m making such a big deal coz i get to go out at night!! Then i get to sleep over at my sis’s house, Li Wen!! Will be awesome, i can tell! Now if only i can remember the moves we practised this week…. I always forget them till the hour before the class. For some reason they’re gone throughout the whole week. Oh bother……

Hmmm…. what else can i say about my current condition?? (perasan betul saya ni) I’ve kinda lost a bit of myself, but that shouldn’t be the case since i know I’ll get back on my feet again. I always do. I wonder when this feeling’s gonna end………….

Ah….. so lots of events have occurred over the past week (like duh, if not, my life is a crypt). Anyway, for the first time, and finally, o got my hair permed! Hehe, yeah i know i sound like some ah lian showing off but i can’t help it! I mean after like 3 years of persuading my mom, all of a sudden she said go ahead! Of course, this is charged to my expense (Damn….) I thought i was gonna die when they said it takes 3 hours for the whole thing to finish, luckily just 1.5 - 2 hours long. Phew….. still can’t really picture myself in curls. Haha, gone were the days of totally recessive hair, pantene super slick flip (exaggeration, exaggeration, exaggeration!) and easy maintenance. Now the days will prolly be filled with bad hair days, frizzy and unmanageable hair and products with too much chemical composition to be defined as harmful (why do we still use it). Anyway, thank god after a wash it soften downed. Haha…………

Ah…. and my working hours have, thankfully, lessen ever since they employed a new girl. Her name’s Sze Yin and she’s totally cool. Oh, and she loves arranging and organizing stuff. Over the past 2 days I’ve been with her, I’ve discovered more items i never knew existed in the shop (how much stuff can they store away anyway?) and i daresay she’s really good at catching the customer’s eye. Yes, I’ve a lot to learn from her, though she’s a newbie but she’s worked before…. guess that makes me the newbie..

My puppy has once again manage to get her paws swelled up. and this time she’s too fierce when it comes to letting me take a look at it. Sigh…. it’s back to the vet’s clinic for her, and we all know how….. stressful one single visit can do to the owner… and the dog’s emotional level of sanity.

Ah hahaha….. i forgot to mention, i got 3 days off this week from work!! Whee…. well, they owe me after like 59 hours of working i had this past 7 days….

*cries* and this year, i can’t joined the dance competition! It’s a drag…. u think after 2 years of just plain practicing-in-the-studio, i would get some first dips experience competition-wise! Nope, nothing doing. Parent’s think it’s a waste of time, energy and money! But it’s my money…. well, their ex-money actually…. ah what the heck. I’m still gonna persuade long and hard. Hopefully I’m not too late to get into a group. or maybe I’ll just go individual

My stubborn sub-conscience has just come to terms in realizing that sometimes, we just can’t beat fate. But, technically speaking, I’m not one to let destiny rule my life.

Ah hahha, so i finally got a job after searching beyond the gazillions of shops that can afford to still hold their premises in this high-rents place which we call Bangsar. Of course, Cat’s whiskers didn’t call (damn!) neither did Blook (*cries*) or Khai(who?) Anyway, guess y’all know bout that so……….

Working at East is kinda relaxing, easy-going, non-hectic, unstressful job. Technically all i do is sit around, arrange/shift ceramic or antique stuff to make the small room look less crampy that it already is (not really much of a help but i’m bored so please…..) and yeah, smile at customers. Yeah, from the sales assistant POV, malaysian’s really are stingy/miser when it comes to buying. U would think that Bangsar was this high-class-rich-ppl area. WRONG! It was so freakin hard to settle at least one sale over some dumb tissue box decorative cloth, all because they were bargaining. Hello? Retail outlet?? Sigh……….

Least i’ve some nice supervisors :-

1. Mrs. Carol - a nice middle age lady who seems to know exactly what the public wants. Extremely good at guessing. And yeah very motherly.
2. Khin - been there for like 6 months. I think she’s burma-nese? (is there such a thing?) Anyway, she’s very talkative and friendly. Even though she doesn’t really make much sales, but she’s good company. Someone who frequently misplaces stuff too……
3. Wan Yee - Haven’t met her yet but i think she’s one from the office, so she handles all the necessary paper work like our payment, work schedule, delivery and stuff liike that…..
4. Mr. Loke - The boss himself. Need i say more? Haven’t met him but Michelle says he’s nice, but seriously scary when talking to? Need more info on this one.

Basically, i’m still adjusting. Just wondering how i can fit in my hip-hop classes, music classes (not to mention the concert’s coming in April so that means more rehearsals……. damn i forgot that ……….) and er……….. just plain hanging out. Or maybe that’s alright coz some of them are in college or working like me…… WHO AM I KIDDING? Duh i need to still get out!

Anyway, will update more. Oh yeah, for the first time in 17 years….. I FINALLY GET TO COUNT DOWN THE NEW YEAR OUTSIDE WITH MY FRIENDS!!! Hahahaha!!! I’m pathetic………….. *ahem*

Ah hah, it’s raining here so badly, added with my increasing hazardous sinus, i think i’m just about done for the day. Anyway, got a job at Bangsar Village. It’s at this shop called East which sells chinese antiques. I know - LAME! i mean i did apply at Cat’s whiskers (for all who doesn’t know this, it’s a really cool boutique) and yeah, why would i want to accept a job where i work all alone? Tell u why, at Cat’s whiskers u’ll be rotated to all 3 outlets - Bangsar, Sri Hartamas and Perdana (goodness knows where that is) and yeah, i can’t drive. Haha. So that’s then i guess. Will be working alone. So in desperate times, i’m begging if anyone is in Bangsar Village, please do drop by and have a chat. It’s upstairs and u can’t miss it. Plus they got cool fancy ornaments. haha, chiowz ppl
