Ponteng sekolah...?

Notice a difference between this picture I just took and the other one I took about 6 weeks ago?
Pretty fast eh? :)

Nah, I had my dental appointment today.
So, mana boleh pergi sekolah?
Lol.

Well, I really have to start studying my ass off right now, can't slack if I want good grades whilst taking STPM right?
Heh, the 4th hardest paper in the world. Heh.
School's kinda okay, except for the fact that most teachers MIA most of the time.
So, we're kinda on our own. I'm trying to figure a way to get to tuition as soon as possible.

Haha, recently my bro, Ben entered this Yamaha drum competition.
Well, mainly you have to hit this drum as many times as you can in single strokes, no doubles - in one minute.
So... pictures please...

The man, Whita Teo :) Yo! Lol.


Benson showing off testing the drums, lol.


Ben's adorable supporters from our church's children programme! :D
The cute Khoo twins and Isaac Yap.
So happen they were hanging around Jusco, hahaa.


And, of course, we're the best supporters lar, lol.


You can do it Ben! Go go!


Phew, he's exhausted.
He managed 748 hits in one minute.
Good job :)

He didn't win the first place but 2nd.
It's alright, and he walked away with a RM300 voucher :D
Wonder what he's gonna buy... hmm.

And after that, we went to a restaurant where I bought dad and the entire family a nice dinner.
To celebrate Father's day of course, the bill's on me :)

Happy Father's Day, Dad...
and I bought him a gift too,
I'm sure he loved it.

Getting him that gift was so farnie larr.
Okay, what would you be thinking if you saw a girl in her school uniform buying liquor?
Well, I am 18 and it wasn't past 9PM yet, and I'm not a muslim.
The cashier was in a state of shock.
That's all I'm saying, lol.

And while Ben was walking back from school, an aunty called him and pointed towards something and this was what he saw...


"Don't touch him!", she said before Benson could approach the man to check if he was unconscious or dead. "Get your parents with you before you do".

People, I couldn't believe what I heard from Ben when he reached home.
It was raining, people passed by and YET no one helped :(
Actually, that aunty could've called the police or something.
She was scared of being accused if he was dead or something.

Apparently, that man 'pengsan-ed' while walking back to his house, and he was just up my street where the junction was. We informed the police but they didn't show up.
So, dad and Ben went to the police station to report this case themselves.
And guess what? That policeman gave the excuse that he couldn't come because there was no vehicle available at that moment.

W T H ?
What if there was an emergency?
How could Malaysia's police force behave like this?
It ain't right =/

Guess what's next?
My dad had to 'tumpang' the policeman to the scene.
What a joke.
Soon after, the ambulance came.
Great job to the Police force, I applaud you.
Sighs.

Anyways, Yen Fah's puppies courtesy of Macy are sooooooo cute!!! :D
Here are a couple of pics!


:D :D :D


Awww.... the cuteness! :D

Okay, that's all for now.
Ciao.
P.S: I love you...

Their rules stink worse than my socks...

Sighs, can this school give me anymore problems?
Rest assured I guess.
I tried liking their school, seriously... it just ain't working okay.

First, they tell me baju kurung are not allowed for the non-muslims.
Okay fine you know, whatever.

And now?

After wearing the long beige skirt for about a week, a teacher called me saying, "Eh girl, come here I wanna talk to you...". I'm like soooo not anticipating this one.
Then she started commenting on my hair, my earrings, my badge 'which are you school from huh?'... ohh fine. And then she said I cannot wear long skirts.

W T H ?

"All SMKPJ students have to wear short skirts only, you're a student here so you follow the rules".

For the first time in my life, I've entered a school that doesn't encourage long skirts but want us girls to shorten them.
Oh ho ho for laughing out loud.
So I just told her that I'll be transfering school soon, and told her who was in charge bla-bla.
"In JB students can wear long skirt?", in a strict tone.
"Of course, most definitely! Long skirts are allowed... [baju kurungs too! you people... :P]", I answered in disbelief.
"....".

As far as I'm concerned, I've bought my uniform. It is not a taboo in the PPD but your pathetic rules. You think I can just spend money on uniforms like this? Think again. Like it or not, you're gonna see me in this long skirt as long as I'm studying here.
I've got one long skirt and one short skirt, I alternate them lar. Want to make my mother suffer to wash one uniform everyday meh?
Siao arr?


Sighs, how much more and how much longer do I need to get this kinda $#!T from these people? :/


Well, studies are okay actually, I think.
Except for Chemistry, ohh the teacher... *shakes head* :(
I can read from the book too you know..
I like Maths T so far, Bio I think I can still understand but it's slow, MUET's not on my mind, Pengajian Am is still okay but slow.

I've got about 27 students in my class:
8 chinese girls, 5 indian girls, 8 malay girls...
4 chinese guys, 1 indian and malay guy, lol.
They're alright :)

Umm, just a couple of days ago, HARRIS called me.
I was pretty surprised.
I thought I quit? Lol.
Well apparently, the big boss of Harris was surveying the sales of the Popular cards and thought that I did very well... So, the big boss told my supervisor to look for me and ask me if I wanna come back, but this time not as a cashier but...
A Popular Card promoter.

And she did, she told me everything I needed to know..
So, I'll be working 8 hours a day on Saturdays and get paid in cold hard cash on the very same day, and it's not bad :D What do ya know? Mel took the offer.
Well, I need it lar cause I have to pay for my tuition fees that I'm going to take soon, I hope. Don't talk abouut tuition lar, I don't even have enough to buy my STPM reference books :(

ANYONE who wants to give/lend me STPM reference books, PLEASE let me know.
Desperate here :(


Will be starting tomorrow.
Actually... It's kinda like a relief that I'm not going back as a cashier, lol.

Oyy, I'm beginning to put on weight A G A I N! XD
Gaah! Sighs, lost so much weight when I was working, and then put on again... :(
Big sighs.

Gahh, I'm off.

Church Camp 2007, Genting

Ehh yo y'all, I'm back! :D

Ha, Genting was fun...
But it would've been better if someone came along too, eh? ;D
*wink wink nudge nudge*

Anyways, just one day before the Genting trip, I invited sis out for a small shopping spree.
Hah, decided to pamper myself, along together with sis, just us sisters.
Well, for the four months I've worked in Harris, I've not spent ANYTHING on myself.
Therefore... hee :)

It's time.


Aww, look at those fats... XD
And sis looks emo, lol.


Makk Ciikkk.. RAWWWRR!!! Wakakakaa... XD
[inside joke, please refer to previous post]




We had fun.
We had new clothes, wee :D

* * * * * *

The very next day, we went to church at 9AM for the bus.
So off we went.


Bryan, Celine, Benson and Melissa.
"We rocked the bus".

We hoped for a smooth trip, but you see... I guess there has to be some drama somewhere.
Well you see, I was sleeping despite being super bumpy because I was sitting at the furthest back seat. And suddenly I felt the bus swayed really fast to one side, so I woke up.

You want drama?
Okay, the bus broke down.


See the long tyre mark?
That was how hard the driver swayed :/

The tyre punctured, the air-cond wasn't great, they opened the door to see what's going on with the bus and people had to go down for emergencies...

Little did any of us know, we were next to a plantation area, so....

Tonnes of these flew in.
How I got the pic?
Mel's a great photographer, that's all, haha :)


And you see, most of the old folks couldn't really hold their tanks, so we had to escort them safely to the bushes and drains and make a toilet out of umbrellas and shawls.
Sighs, it was a sad situation, but I have to say, the old folks were really brave :)

Three hours waiting in that contaminated bus for the spare tyre to come.
But then later we had a normal school bus to bring us to the nearest stop to just get away from that place finally.
Ohh, so glad I left that bus.

We rested for a while in Shalalala Coffee house, loved the air-cond.
After a while we've rested, they announced that the bus was back.

When I reached the place, my hair fell out cause it was the very same bus we left earlier.
I went in making new friends with flies like George and Sally, I just slumped back into my seat.
It seems that many of the old folks and young kids were really good at killing flies.
The windows next top them were their record holders, literally.
Even flies that were in the process of mating next to me died in that position getting smacked by Bryan. How sad, lol.



Eskimos after the flies.
Us girls in between 2 Bryans, Yong and Ho.

Afraid I'd open my mouth when I fell asleep, I used his jacket as my shield.
It made things better and I went to sleep.

When I woke up, it seem that all the flies flew into the curtains on top, so they weren't bothering us no more. And soon after, I saw this...


*angels' ahhs*
Wahahaaa... XD

Slowly but surely, we reached Genting View Resort.
11 hours in the bus, can you believe it? Heh.
Honestly, the resort's pretty fine.
Way better than I really expected it to be.

I'll let the pictures and captions do the talking.


After the first morning service :)


After the whole camp photo session.
Didn't get to get that shot.. :( thanks to Celine, harumph.

Then we had free time.
People got to go up to Genting Highlands were the fun is.
Mum didn't let us :(
So what did we do?

It's c-c-cold... it's colddd...
Wahahaaaa.... XD



So when people ask me what did I do in Genting?
I'll just honestly say, "I swam".
LOL.

Hee... :D
*shivering* ooh.. s-s-syiookk feeling h-huh..??


LOL... XD

All smiles :)


-.-"..... Lah, sorry larr.. lol.
I just like this babydoll a lot! :D
Yeah, recently bought when sis and I shopped.



The apartment's great!
My family and Bryan Yong shared the same apartment.
It looks better than this lar, too lazy to take pics of the apartment, nanti card full.


We played funny, funny games... lol.


Teens and kids at the command of adults, lol..
The left, the left, the left, the right, the back... XD
Oh Lynette, you know your sis :)


Battling, lol.
Sway those hips! XD


And since it was the last night, we went partying at Nicholas' apartment :D


Let's go :D


Wee... :D


Becky Jie, ROFLMAO!! XD


So, we said our goodnights and went back to our apartment.


Our congregation :)


Our camp's speaker, Rev Timothy Ewing-Chow.
Very funny lively guy! With a hilarious laugh, LOL.
Nette, I didn't know that he was the same speaker we had for DYC '02 in Cameron Highlands!


Esther Doding and us! She's really nice :)
Camp's over, we're going home.

Snapping some pics on the way... :)



Heheh... :)


I know I'm a good photographer ;)

* * * * * *

The trip back was smooth and safe.
Thank God.

Overall, camp was fun.
I loved the resort.
It was great, and something I'd like to remember... except George, Sally and friends :)


P.S : Sis blogged about the trip too! Read her views and see more pics!
... Cause aku malas upload, lol.

I Q U I T !

Yes, it's my last day of work today, 6th June.
I've handed in my resignation letter a week ago, prior to the one-week-notice.

How was it?

Honestly, it started pretty good.
Hardly any customers for today, had great colleagues as friends too, had flashbacks of the past 4 months that were rather okay EXCEPT for the long deadly queues that reaches up to the CD RAMA department, didn't have horrid customers who were SUPER HORRIBLE to me *pity my other colleagues who kena real bad*, manage to communicate and handle them well to save my own @$$.... lol.

It was alright all the way when my day was almost over UNTIL....
I reached my second last customer.

Look, we close at 10.30PM from Sundays - Thursdays, 11PM for Fridays & Saturdays.
Tonight, we close at 10.30PM.


This Malay mak cik who berhegeh-hegeh taking her own sweet time which caused me to close my accounts later than I suppose to, came to my counter, along with her other sweet children of 5. I meant it about the children, sincerely.

She takes out this expired temporary card which SUPPOSEDLY doesn't have any discounts. Cause when I scan that card of hers, it simply won't give blardy discounts cause it's EXPIRED.
So, I kindly asked her where did she apply for this card and she says Batu Pahat.
Okay, I said. Please kindly inform them that you didn't receive the original card yet because this temporary card has expired.


"What you mean expired?? It's a 3-year card!"

"Miss, yes it is. I'm saying that this temporary card has expired, you simply didn't receive your original card, which you must do a feedback so that...."

*her children nods in agreement in PERFECT understanding and tries to explain what I am saying to their mother in their timid voices*

"It's a 3-year card! Why can't you give me discounts?! Did I pay for this not to get discounts, blar-blar-blar-blar... 3-year card... ", starts pushing her index finger into the card roughly which I'm holding. Hello? I can feel you pushing my hand as well okay. She's really pushing my buttons now.

*her children starts falling silent and scared yet ashamed of their rude mother*

"Miss... I AM going to give you discounts but I'm JUST telling you that you NEED to receive your original card [so you don't have to freaking get this kind of remark from EVERY cashier you go to for the NEXT freaking 3-years dammit!]"

"Just quickly give me those discounts and I want to get out of here, don't need to tell me all this and make my life miserable...", in a rude way.


OH EFF.
Oh no, she didn't.


Miserable??
You're freaking making my last day miserable!
You think you're the only one who is miserable? Go lock yourself in your room and cry 24-7 and think the entire world is perfect EXCEPT you.

WHY THE HECK AM I EVEN SERVING YOU??
WE'RE CLOSED, GO HOME.

. . . . .

Nevertheless, Melissa Yap stood there scanning those items of hers, not saying a word, containing her rage, fuming, ignoring and dismissing her as quick as she could, without thanking her.
I mean, come on, what for? For giving me crap? No thanks. Nuh uh.
I instantly called for the next customer not taking a second glance at her.
Actually, I felt bad that I didn't give her a piece of my mind since it was my last day.

DAMN.
What a waste.

My other supervisor who stood next to me took off her hat for me.
She witnessed the acts of that rude Malay mak cik.
Biadap betul. Kurang ajar they'd say.

Fumed so much and thinking of all the ways I could've gotten back at her, mean or courteously.
Either way would've been fine.
But I didn't.

. . . . . .

Simply cause I knew... that if I did what I wanted, my company would get shot after I leave.
Which is pretty unfair cause they treated me well.
Ohh, the heck with her!

I really felt like telling her to go home cause we're closed.
I didn't cared if she didn't purchase anything from Harris, better if she didn't.
And told her that she was rude and I have my own human rights as well.
I'm not her maid, back off.

Or I could kindly thank her and say that AT LEAST I practice my last Rukun Negara as a Malaysian and personally thought that she didn't and dismiss her.

"Miss, do you even know what's the last Rukun Negara? Well, I practiced it and I think you don't. Thank you and goodbye. And ohh, just so you don't know, it's 'Kesopanan dan kesusilaan'"


Ohhhhh, what a waste!!


She's a Malay for crying out loud, I don't think she deserves being called a Malaysian.
I'm a Malaysian, and I knew I still practiced courtesy despite of people like that.
Heh, she gives Malays a bad name and image. Even my close malay buddies know how to practice "Kesopanan and Kesusilaan".
Shame on you.

Uggh uggh uggh!!
Had to get it off my chest, if you've read this far, I applaud you.
Lol.

It had to happen on my last day didn't it?
I didn't have to take this $#!T for the past 4 months!
ARGH.

*inhales slowly*
Ahh, it's over.
I don't work there anymore.
It's over.

Anyways, people, I'll be going to Genting tomorrow!!! :D :D :D :D
Something to be happy about... haha.

Alright, it's almost 4.30AM, I shall take my rest..
I bid you adieu!

And you leave you some pictures, good memories...






EDIT:

I'm so touched by Hazel's entry that was dedicated to me... *sniffle*
I love you darling, work was fun when you were around :)
I mean that.

I'll miss you, all the best in KL...
Keep holding on to His hand and let Him lead you, you'll be fine :)
I love you.

A LI NIE . . . . . LOL!

♥ COUNTING THE DAYS

you complete me :)
