Tang Yuan !

Woot today is the last the of winter for the Chinese ! Tang Yuan festival ah? Not sure about the name I only know that, my uncles and aunts will come over for dinner. Unity together dinner :P
And at the end of the day or after dinner, grandma will serve the tang yuan.

DEFINE : TANG YUAN !
Tāngyuán is a Chinese food made from glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour is mixed with a small amount of water to form balls and is then cooked and served in boiling water. Tangyuan can be either small or large, and filled or unfilled. It is traditionally eaten during Yuanxiao, or theLantern Festival.

Cheers people :)



Kinda tired to elaborate about my tiring day, I'll go short :D

Supposed to be at pyramid at 11-11.30AM ! I only left my house at 12.40PM, the first guy reached pyramid at 11 + and was screwing me up on the phone. ( wahaha chenshen, malaysian timing :P late one xD )
Was walking to the entrance when I bumped into Joyce ( she sesat-ed came too early, friend also malaysian time her, Ashlee ! bush woman ) She followed me around to look for the others. Met them at springfield ( had no idea where was that )
Suddenly we just started walking aimlessly in circles around pyramid and out of no where stopped infront of bata to greet some friends working there.
Then we all started looking for shoes, as some of us need them for volleyball :D ( includes me )
Followed Joyce to the cinema to choose a movie, thus buying tickets too
Called my friend up if they wanted popcorn AND THEY HAD LUNCH WITHOUT ME !!! >=(
In the end, I had to buy 4 combo one which includes 4 large popcorns and 8 regular cups of drinks. They even made me wait for them with an empty stomach, grrr.

Watched Avatar !
Ended at 5 ++ I think and we went to bowl !


Yeah this bowl :D


After bowling, we went over to Flaming Steamboat Something which was beside the dolpin show place. Argh rm21 per person, steamboat buffer. Sounds nice right? NO ITS HALAL ( I guess you guys know me )

NO PORK
NO BEEF

There goes my 2 favs for steamboat :(

Had to be halal food because one of my friend is a malay :) 1 malaysia !

Walked back to pyramid in the drizzle, strolled around and left for home around 10 +

Came home and ate Tāngyuán

Goodbye DÔME :(

Today well I mean just now, was my last day of work.

Started working on the 3rd of November and stopped on the 15th of December :)
Head manager said I'll always be welcomed to work there again. wooo but am I? :D
Nothing much to write about. All I know is, I'm going to miss working with the people there.
First and foremost, the FOH ( front of the house ) workers. Didn't get to a picture with you guys :|

Managers:
Mr.Anson - Head Manager ( gay by the way and I didn't get molested, honestly )
Mr.Sankar - Manager ( I'll find him to get my next cheque )
Mr.Vinod - Manager in training ( Really relaxed manager, can do just about anything illegal infront of him :D )

Barista :
Santosh ( Funny guy, took care of me )
Eddy ( Quite new but got to know him, another joker )
Danny ( The serious guy, not that close to him xD )

Waiters:
Daniel ( Took care of me and wanted to dota with me, haha )
Mohan ( Took care of me and guided me, hope to see you even after you change job )
Marie ( Filipino, always asks me to do work faster even when she doesnt know what she's doing )
Richelle ( Filipino, "gelabar" , don't understand what she says at times )
Yang ( I guess I'll see you soon )
Suresh ( Don't see you often, didn't talk much )
Mark ( Feminine Filipino, seen him once, really freaked me out )
Don't think I forgot anybody :D

BOH staffs ( back of the house )
Kitchen :
France ( Perancis/Francis also, tall and can't hear what he says )
Along ( Funny and friendly )
Halim or another guy, forgot his name ( not that close to them )
Richard ( Joker )
Azhad ( rawr I know you :D )


Stewards:
Saroj ( Joker )
Forgot your name ( another joker )
Faroooooooq ( Silent new guy, not sure how many ooos also )

I think that's all of them, not including the new staffs.

Every worker working on their last day is suppose to get something "special" from the other workers, luckily for me, today we had a cutlery count and everybody was busy till they forgot it was my last day until outside Dome which there was nothing else to do. They said they'll get me when I come to take my pay cheque. Omg!

Me! outside Dome, its so dark

Mohan didn't want to stop moving so I didn't bother, everybody else was busy talking and laughing :P

I'm going to miss wearing the uniform :(

Chin Woo Biathlon

Heyya!

Had my biathlon race yesterday morning. The race is to swim 500meters then get out change quickly and run 5kilometers. Well running 5km is okay for me but swimming omg. I last swam seriously about 4 years ago when I still had my classes. The race was held at Chin Woo, somewhere near merdeka stadium.

So dad woke me up at 5 45am. Was looking for clothes early in the morning plus I was still damn blur, stoning around. Changed, packed and got ready. Mom made a cup of milo for me, it was quite tasteless. Dad and mom drove me there and watched the race. As soon as I sat down in the car, I slept :D

Reached there and didn't have any idea where I was. Reached there and saw quite an amount of people. Not as many as other runs since the swimming pool can't take so many people at once. There were 8 categories, A B C D E F G H. Category is A is boy's junior and B is girl's junior ( 8 - 14 years old) I was in category C for teen boys. D was teen girls. ( 15- 18years old)

BODYMARK!

C112 was my number. My category started at 8:10am. Watched category A and B swam and saw how fast they changed. Shocked to see that kids at the age of 8 and 14 has such a BIG DIFFERENCE IN BODY SIZE. Saw 1 boy changed so fast. He came out of the pool and slipped his feet into the shoe( already tied ), grabbed his shirt and ran. All in less than a minute! Not a second to spare :P

Came to my turn, got in the pool and was just warming up. Countdown and the race started. I went freestyle for about less than 100meters and got tired. OMG SO FAST RIGHT? Finished up the rest with breaststroke. Came out and saw that I was 2nd LAST to come out HAHA! Took my time to change and wear my quite new shoes :P I want to have the comfort in running :D hehe!

Ran up the stairs and down a slope @_@ then into the running path. Had to run 2 rounds around an area which was 2km each and 500meters back to the starting line. So 500m down 2km + 2km and 500m up! tada ! 5km :D

I couldn't catch my breath at first then started to get into the rhythm and it was okay for awhile. My hands got so tired for no reason! started moving my hands and putting them in awkward positions. LOL :P Caught up to about 4-5 people and overtook them. I kept telling myself that there is no way I'm going to get last and kept pushing. I was running the 2nd round and REALLY wanted to stop and walk already. I actually slapped myself a few times and continued running :P

Then after I took the 2nd ribbon, I went straight instead of turning left for another round. Continue going forward until I saw the slope on my left. IT WAS SO DAMN STEEP. Pushed all the way up eventhough I had nobody to overtake. Reaching the line and saw my dad. He was asking me to go faster, its just a bit more, come on !

Reached the line and got a medal for finishing it ahhaha! Took a free can of chilled 100plus ! It hit the spot man. :þ

Back

Front

Eh why opposite one @_@
Oh well as long as you can see it :)

Oh I got a free shirt for signing up too ! Woo hoo , seems to be quite good in quality :D
Sponsors !

Front ! erm, somebody translate those chinese words for me please :D


Waited for my dad's friend to come back and saw a group of friends having a relay. Looked at their swimming suits and saw their name and MAS. Malaysian swimmers, omg. BEST OF ALL, 3 to 5 of them are in my category. See them swim super fast man! Crazy ah :P Oh and I'm like the smallest in my category :)

Had some free nasi lemak and fried mee hoon. Took a bath, changed and went back. Again I slept in the car. Reached home at 12 and had a " nap " for 6 hours. Woke up at 6 and gazed around. Got myself ready for work at 730pm. Didn't have a proper dinner AGAIN, so unhealthy :(

Reverse your time by 1 hour and 46 minutes :)

Happy Birthday Piggy ! aka Beh Carmen :) Weeeeeee!


She had a birthday party yesterday at her place, it was for dinner ! Okay so it was my first time going to her house, I didn't know where her house was other than it being in SS19. I still can remember her house address until now, thats weird O.o

Her party theme was ' opposite sex ' + happy colours ! Opposite sex is suppose to mean that we are all suppose to have something on ourself that is from the opposite sex. For example male wear female's and vice versa :D

Well I have no sisters so I had nothing feminine to wear other than my mothers which I don't think I would use :P Wore a simple long sleeved shirt and jeans. Oh! and my working shoes. Well there's nothing feminine there, so Beh said she'll paint my nails at her place. Brothers sent me there. Finding her house wasn't that hard to find and it was actually near my jogging path, hmm why haven't I seen her before.

Reached her house and the first few people I saw didn't look like the opposite haha! So was I :P I think I reached at about 730pm? and I only saw her and her 2 friends, other friends came later. Food was already served and we were to help ourselves :) They ( Beh + her parents? ) made macaroni with eggs, fried chicken ( I only tasted the skin, was kinda lazy to use my hands :P sorry ah ) , small sausages , potatoes ( only ate 2, wished I had more now ) and last but not least, 6 large pizzas from dominoes ! Speaking and thinking about all this food is really making me SO HUNGRY! Haven't had my dinner :( *stomach growls* oops!




After food we all talked, la la bla bla la la got ha ha also :D Went inside to enjoy aircon ! woo. Talked and laughed much more then it was time for cake.

Went out to start singing and saw 2 cakes, wow. One from her family and one from her friend(s). Lighted both cakes with 1 big and 6 small candles :) Sweet 16 behbeh! Sang the song and she blew the candles from a cake and made a wish. Oh she had two cakes, so there was two wishes. Hope both comes true beh :)

Ate cake, yumms. *stomach growls* Talked and laughed a whole lot :D

Oh did I mention that Leonard was in a skirt and with makeup and Jeremy was wearing a " hot " top and jeans :D

Went inside and watched her open her presents though it wasn't her birthday yet, 11.30pm ++ only ! Slowly she opened the presents while having a photo with almost every one. She got really frustrated when it came to one specific present was 4 to 5 times bigger than the actual gift? She got really mad :P how cute.

Slowly the presents were opened one by one and so were the people leaving. She had 26 people over. Did you get 26 presents? :)
Everybody left and I was last. So far you haven't heard her painting my nails yet. Yes, she painted my nails when everybody left. So much for being opposite. hahaha! still loved it though there were mistakes as it was done in a rush. Sneak peak !

Rawr I went to work with those nails, muahaha. Customers just stared in shock or was it in amazement? :D hehehe

My brother came and took me home :) Had a great time at her party. made many new friends, thats for sure :D

So! Beh Carmen, have a great and wonderful 16 year old year ahead of you ! :) this post is indeed made specially for you, tata for now :D

Post before sleeping !

At work, I asked my manager when will I be getting my pay cheque. Working for about a month now, hehe :) Stoned at me awhile and he went " Ohh! yeah, call everyone to come. " *Takes out a transparent bag with loads of pink and blue papers* wasn't sure where he took it from, seemed like it was from under the table. hmmm ANYWAY!

First, he gave my friend, Yong his pay. It was a cheque stapled to a pink paper showing the maths ( deduction of epf and socso, aww damn. ) The blue one was a copy of it. Signed it and he got his. Woo clapped xD. Quickly threw my gloves away as I was busy wiping the tables with "Kleenal Ex" ( some badass chemical for cleaning purposes ) Dried my hands and took mine, RAWR !! Others clapped :þ

Looked at it and there it was stated.
Date of join : 3 November 2009
Hours/rm5 - rm300
EPF - -rm24
SOCSO - -rm1.25
NetAmount - RM274.75

13 days of work :)
At first I thought it was a whole month's salary. Shocked to see only rm274 for a month ! Till my senior friend explained : Punch cards are taken back on the 15th of every month. A new month starts on the 16th for part timers. 3rd - 15th is 13 days right? :D

Wahaha today I got my first ever pay cheque ! in my life :) woooooooooo

Yong started on the 21st of October and his pay was only rm210+ ? He's going to ask the head manager about it tomorrow.

I need to ask the head manager about epf also. Need to get my account started baby ! I guess I'll stop work on the 15th and get my cheque on January 7th, if I continue to work after the 15th I will have to wait till February which I may forget ( Bad memory as some of you may know :D )


Woah crap its 3:31AM already !! I have church at 8/8:30 tomorrow and I'm working at 10am to 3pm tomorrow. Byee :) Goodnights or morning.

Ps: I'll get a picture of the cheque and maybe post it up later in the future, if I remember.


Dreamland, here I come..........
