Haha. Ignore the title. Anyway, I dont have much to update about. Since there hasnt been many new things going on. Oh to all readers, before i forget, let me wish you Merry Christmas! Ok. I shall blog about my sister's now 1 month+ old baby, Matthew.

One word: cute.

Matthew has finally gone home now. He used to stay with us with my parents so that my mother can teach my sister how to take care of the baby. Now, after 1 month of training, my sister is ready to take care of Matthew by herself at her own home.
Btw, he seems to like the Mashimaro that Sharon gave me before she left to Florida. We would hang it by the side and he would stare at it and try to reach for it. Sometimes he even makes small cute baby sounds at it. Haha. Well at 1st i was redundant to give mashimaro because i liked it so much but the baby would have a much better use for it than a 15 year old kid =/. haha. kid.

And he just stares at mashimaro!

He still screams really loud, just like before. But now he spends more hours awake and slightly less asleep. Its harder to put him to sleep now and he's wanting more and more attention by the minute! Haha. Oh and i finally held the baby in my hands like a few days ago. Surprisingly baby didnt cry, baby didnt moan. Baby just behaved like a baby. Haha. Glad with myself that Uncle Dudu can hold Matthew.

Lol this is a funny picture. Still as precious as ever!

Haha! well i'll continue to feed you more progress about matthew. Stay tuned! Hope the pictures kept your hearts tickled!

How long has it been since....

The Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.

"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.

So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.

"This porridge is too cold," she said

So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.

"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.

After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.

"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.

So she sat in the second chair.

"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.

So she tried the last and smallest chair.

"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!

Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.

As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.

They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.

Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.

Beaches....

You gave me a small taste of you,
& now you leave me wanting more.

I spend time thinking and regretting,
of how I let something slip pass,
and how I could have brought it with me to the present.

You leave me;
Thoughtful in the day,
Distracted during work,
Frustrated afterwards,
& restless in the night,

You're dangerous. That I will say.

er whoops.... last day of work? =/

Right, so I was supposed to update about my 1st day of work.... but, I didn't? :P

Well, just to let you guys know, i've resigned at o'briens after 3 weeks working there. I earned RM700+ from them and got aLOT of experience too (working in the F&B sector). Anyway, since i didnt update you guys RIGHT AFTER my 1st day, I'll just cover the entire working experience here! =)

Hmm, so working @ O'briens is really a crazy ass job. I remember just doing all sortsa things on my 1st day. Like washing dishes, then preparing some cold food, then learning how to use the juice machine, and then i was wiping tables. Then before I could become good at all those stuff, I was learning how to make sandwiches on my 2nd day. x( Working in O'briens is really tiring. You do all the jobs there are in 1 single day. Just doing whatever that needs to be done. Eg; preparing a sandwich when a customer is here, then preparing items after that, then washing the dishes 20 minutes later.

Well I spent my 1st few days in the kitchen just washing dishes, drying them and bringing them out, since I couldnt do anything else at the bar yet. Its basically just washing a sink-full of dishes with soap, then placing them in the dishwasher, and drying them with a cloth. Really, the 1st few days were just labour. However once the weekends were over, my manager eventually taught me how to handle the juice machine and how to make sandwiches at the bar too. However that wasn't a sign of relief at all. Making sandwiches and juices isn't really a cool-calm job.

Well making the sandwiches on your 1st and 2nd week is really stressful. Though it may sound really simple (a tripple decker consists of 9-10 ingredients including toasting the bread and spreading the butter), but really, its not that easy once ure holding the butter knife making your customer's sandwiches. You're supposed to make a single sandwich order in 3 minutes. I made my 1st sandwich in 6. =)
- Well my seniors told me it takes about 2-3 weeks before finally being able to make a sandwich fast and yummy-ly in 3 minutes.

Then theres the juice machine. Well handling the juice machine is really simple. Yes you just cut whatever fruits you need to cut to make your juice, then just put them in this biggish machine and *graaaaanngggggggg* away. Oh yes really simple. Until you finish making about 1 or 2 drinks, then the machine starts to get REALLY loud. When that happens, you have to open up the machine (mind you the machine is NOT a small hand blender, the cover is pretty heavy and the machine is as big as your waist up to your head), and dig up all the fruit waste from inside. Its a HUGE problem especially if you're asked to make juice on a busy day like a friday or a saturday. You have like 3-5 juices que-ed up in 1 go and you gotta stop after your 1st carrot juice to dig up the stuff. And once you're done with 5 another order kicks in. Eventually everybody says you're slow and pushes you to go faster.

Well besides the main jobs, theres the daily jobs we have to do, like morning slicing preparations and afternoon cold cuts. In the mornings we slice vege-items like tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers and that such. Its really an OK job, except for the part where you gotta handle the slicing machine. Let me describe the slicing machine. Its just like a miniature timber cutter. If you don't know what that looks like, well imagine a blade shaped like a disc, placed behind a flatish surface, so you place your item before the blade, and push it forward so the blade slices the item. You do it over and over again until its sliced into pieces. All the seniors said they've had their fingers accidently sliced by the machine before. Well, myself, i've cut my finger while I was cleaning the machine once. Small but deep cut.
-By the way, preparing the onions are a pain for the eyes : (
Afternoon cold cuts are basically the same, just that you have to slice turkey ham and cheese (which gets really messy and sticky) instead of tomatoes and cucumbers.

Then there's restocking, garbage disposal etc etc. Just the normal shit. And that about covers all of my job. The people there are really nice though. So if you're looking for a good place to work? Well O'Briens is definately a good starting job. Gives you aLOT of 1st hand experience, and the pay is fine too. However it's only good for working part time, and should never be taken as a job in your life time career. If you failed your SPM and have no where to go, trust me, Next door TGIF would be better than O'Briens.

Well thats about it. Until then, heres just a picture of me at home in my uniform. Catcha guys later!
